Rarian is designed to be a replacement for scrollkeeper. It is
currently undergoing heavy development. As of writing, rarian can be
installed in place of scrollkeeper and everything will work okay.
Rarian manages documentation metadata (as specified by the Open Source
Metadata Framework (OMF) and provides a simple API to allow help browsers
to find, sort, and search the document catalog. It will also be able to
communicate with catalog servers on the Net to search for documents which
are not on the local system.

The FreeBSD GNOME team is proud to annunce the release of GNOME 2.22.0 for
FreeBSD. The official GNOME 2.22 release notes can be found at
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/ . On the FreeBSD front,
this release features an updated hal port with support for video4linux
devices, DRM (Direct Rendering), and better support of removable media. Work
is also underway to tie webkit more closely into GNOME. As part of the
GNOME 2.22 upgrade, GStreamer received a rather large upgrade as well.
Be sure to consult UPDATING on the proper steps to upgrade all of your
GNOME ports.
This release would not have been possible without the contributions and
testing efforts of the following people:
Pawel Worach
Peter Ulrich Kruppa
J. W. Ballantine
Yasuda Keisuke
Andriy Gapon
Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD. The official
GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for

MMA News
St. Pierre vs. Silva super fight expected to be at 180lbs and in Cowboys Stadium | UFC News
By: Chris Taylor
UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre (22-2 MMA, 16-2 UFC) returns to the octagon at UFC 154, this following a 19-month layoff due to a knee injury. If George is victorious against interim titleholder Carlos Condit (28-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC) this November, one of the biggest fights in UFC history could follow.
That proposed fight would pit the Canadian welterweight champion against the longtime middleweight champion Anderson Silva (32-4 MMA, 15-0 UFC). UFC president Dana White addressed the possible super fight recently and stated that it would likely take place at a catch weight of 180 lbs and that he had the 105,000 seat – Cowboys Stadium in mind for the venue.
"I think we're pretty close," White said Tuesday on FUEL TV's "UFC Tonight." "If Georges St-Pierre beats Condit, that could be the next fight.
"These guys want to fight each other now. If you're a fighter and you've dominated as long as Anderson has, and you've been great as long as Georges has, you finally want to say, 'I want to test myself. I think I can beat this guy.'"
"They'll probably do the fight at 180 (pounds)," he said. "At one point, it sounded like Anderson wanted to go to 170. He wanted to take Georges' welterweight title. Then it was 180, the catch weight, because Georges doesn't want to go to '85. Georges said, 'If I have to make a move to go to '85, I'd have to stay at '85.' So we figured a 180-pound catch weight makes sense.
"If that fight happens, it will probably happen at Dallas' Texas Stadium."
If the super fight was to take place at Cowboys Stadium, the results could lead to a record breaking show. The UFC held it's first and only stadium show (UFC 129) in April of 2011 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. George St-Pierre headlined UFC 129 against Jake Shields, while fellow Canadian and 145lbs title challenger Mark Hominick met featherweight champion Jose Aldo in the co-headliner. The event broke UFC and North American MMA records in both attendance (55,724) and gate ($12.1 million).

So Anderson got the easy fight with the smaller GSP cause he is scared for jones ??
Dana is trash and so is the ufc
you know nothing, clearly
And your an expert??
Gsp is way closer to Anderson's size than Jon Jones
micheal you're a damn moron! Anderson is closer in size to GSP than jones…silva walks around at about 220 and last time I heard GSP was a bit over 200…Jones could fight at HW now…he's so much bigger than every LHW..so how is that fair fighting a bigger much younger guy? Your logic is flawed go back to watching CM Punk!
+Infinity to B-rad 😀
bout time GSP moved up and fought someone bigger, he had no problem fighting the smaller BJ penn did he…bout time he grew a pair of bollocks
Everyone "else" GSP has fought is bigger then BJ, your comment doesn't make sense dude…
Oh, the same way GSP had an easy fight with BJ? Wasn't even a catch weight… And BJ is still fighting at 170.
this is going to be epic, cant wait
Finally!!!!! About time this happened well it still has to become official but keeping my fingers crossed
Oh yeah wait till the UFC sees a show in the most spectacular stadium in the world! After that super fight every super fight will b there. Not Vegas! Mark it down!
As a fan I'd rather see the fight at 170 so Silva can hold the WW and MW titlles simultaneously! Not the biggest Anderson fan but if he beats GSP he will go down as the greatest without NO arguments hands down. But if GSP beats Anderson his name would be up there with Fedor and Anderson.
Correction – ANY arguments.
NO arguments, here, doesn't make any sense.
Didn't you go to school, or even read a book?
We got the point, so who gives a fuck. It's a fighter's website, not a fucking English classroom. Go kill yourself.
be realistic jon jones should be a heavy weight
what needed is a superfight between aldo / cruz V Dos santos . the 2 of them might just beat him
tbh i would rather watch aldo vs henderson 😀
If this fight happens Silva will rag-doll him. I'd like to see him get GSP in the clinch like he did Rich Franklin and knee the hell out of him. Retire the way he came in as the Greatest of All Time. IMO
And out goes the biggest middle finger to professional boxing, well done Dana, GSP and Spider.
Well…now we all have to root for GSP to win his return fight, so here is hoping he as an extrodinary comeback otherwise that fight can always dwindle if gsp doesn't think he has it anymore.
Condit better lose to GSP. I wanna see this fight!
This is a good match up but I think gsp got this… His exlposion is 2 much, he's better then Chael sonnen, but there both great fighters, and there about the same rank in pound for pound fighters in the world
Dana is risking everything by letting Condit fight GSP. He can be the spoiler. Also they run the risk of Silva getting hurt. People don't know this, but he had a hard time preparing for the Chael Sonnen fight. He get injured often in training. I'm just saying, but GSP is probably thinking this is the perfect time to beat Anderson.
Please tell me what Anderson has two gain taking this fight and George can't lay on him we just seen that and what happens George isn't known for his striking or jujitsu so how does this fight make any sense gsp is proly gonna loose too condit just because hes been out of comp for so long.Frankie Edgar vs Aldo Is fight of the century
I like the voice of opinions on this topic.. But they're not needed. Most of these opinions are rather lousy. A Fight between GSP and Anderson. Two of the top rated fighters in the UFC are about to go Toe-To-Toe. Stop acting like you know what's up. And anticipate the fight. I sure am.
Not Anticipating it? Then go back to Youtube and smack talk some more videos. Your opinion ain't gonna do anything but cause drama.
anderson is scared of jones but thats not the reason why they arent fighting, but my money is on GSP anyway
If at 170 and no titles, there's no reason it couldn't be GSP's next fight. Silva's not injured he offered to salvage the cancelled chicken fight, GSP is cleared to go. Interim in the UFC must be a metaphor for Manni, Moe and Jack, because it looks like just a tune-up with Carlos.

Ultrasound - Abdominal
Ultrasound imaging of the abdomen is used extensively for evaluating the kidneys, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen and blood vessels in the abdomen. It is also used to guide procedures such as needle biopsies and aspirations of abdominal organs. Abdominal ultrasound can help determine the cause of abdominal pain, such as stones in the gallbladder or kidney, or an inflamed appendix. It can also help identify the cause for the enlargement of an abdominal organ, and detect the growth of tumors within the abdomen.

Tree top in Farmerville. (KTVE/KARD)
MONROE -- Goss Street in Farmerville, almost looks like a war zone.
Tree tops sheared off, debris scattered everywhere.
But the Fine family is thankful.
"We're safe...And that's what's most important," said Heather Fine, who lives on the street. Her roof was torn apart when a tree fell on top of the house.
Heather, her husband and their two young kids huddled in a closet when the storm blew through.
"What we heard was nothing like what we'd seen...It was just destroyed," she said.
Meanwhile, at NorthHaven Farms in Lincoln Parish, owner David Manual says he lost 30,000 young chickens. There were a total of 80,000 chickens.
A chicken house was blown apart, tossing metal and debris through the fields, a pond and into tree tops.
Manual says the winds were so strong, it took wooden planks and speared them into the ground and even into a thick metal roof. It also took tin sheeting and wrapped it around beams and electric poles.
Manual says it will take about $900,000 to replace everything that was destroyed. He does not believe they will be replacing the buildings that were destroyed.
A few miles away in Downsville, Mayor Reggie Skains is picking up pieces at Shipps Arena, which he manages. The area is owned by Kay Shipp of Monroe.
The National Weather Service confirmed an EF-1 tornado ripped through here.
"Wrinkled it up like it was nothing," said Skains, regarding the collapsed arena building. "Scattered [debris] all over this 500 acre farm."
He's glad no one was inside when the building collapsed. A horse that was in a stable within the area even survived, untouched.
Skains remembers some advice a friend gave him after the experience.
"Is this something that money can put back? And if it is, then don't worry about it. If it's something that money can't put back, like a life, then it's really devastating," he said.
Like many other families in Northeast Louisiana, Christmas won't be the same for the Fines'.
But the community has stepped up to help. During her interview with KTVE/KARD, a neighbor brought by a Christmas present and a hug.
"I think you find that in our part of the country, people reaching out to help others," said Skains.
The Fines' tattered Christmas tree sits amongst the rubble in the front yard.
"We would love to spend Christmas morning in our living room, but we're safe, we can go somewhere else and do that," said Heather.
And like a Christmas miracle, they made it through the storm, without a scratch.
"We can replace this so, we're good," said Heather. "Healthy, safe...We're happy about that."

Nancy Lack: Obama-Hitler sign removal leads to 80-year-old Connecticut woman's arrest
Offended by the picture she took down 3 posters
HEBRON, Conn. (AP) — An 80-year-old Connecticut woman has been charged with larceny and breach of peace after tearing down political signs that included an image of President Barack Obama with an Adolf Hitler-style mustache.
Nancy Lack tells WVIT-TV she was offended by the picture and took down three posters that were being hung last Thursday near the post office on Main Street in Hebron, Conn.
Workers for frequent presidential candidate Lyndon LaRouche, who were putting up the signs, called police.
Lack says she knew she would get in trouble. But she says she lived through World War II and was angry that someone would portray the president as a Nazi.
She was released on a promise to appear in court next week.

Things I liked:Let me start off by saying the Talon SS is an amazingly accurate air gun. It is extremely well-balanced and comfortable to hold and shoot. Aside from some issues (which I discuss below), the gun is very nice. My gun will consistently produce 1/4 inch, 5-shot groups at 35 yards when placed in a Predator MTM rest. These Lothar Walter barrels are worth every penny AND THEN SOME! The most accurate pellets in my gun are H&N Baracudas 21.13gr (5.51mm head) and JSB Diabolo Exact Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr. Also, there are 35 accurate shots available before the tank needs to be topped off to 3,000 psi. Also, this gun does not show any POI shift between shooting sessions. I had a Marauder, and this was a total pain in the butt having to adjust the scope every time I went to shoot. I really like this gun.
Things I would have changed:The previous version of these guns had a dull-colored rubbery grip that was very nice to hold. The current version of AirForce guns have a shiny rubbery grip, that is more slick. I think they changed this to better match the finish of the metal, but it is not as nice to hold. The main issue with the current Airforce guns has to do with the Power Wheel. Basically, it has no effect on velocity. I have tried 3 different guns, and the power wheel had no effect on any of them. Tom's excellent review of the original Talon SS shows a nice range of velocities available by adjusting the power wheel. This simply does not exist with the current guns. My chrony indicates a velocity spread of about 30fps, even with the Power Wheel adjusted to the low and high limits. Authorized AirForce retailers who sell and tune these guns have confirmed this, so it is not just me.
What others should know:Be aware that the Power Wheel has no effect in current AirForce guns. Also, listen to what others have written about using Airforce guns with a pump - it truly is a pain in the butt! I did not listen to the advice, and am suffering for it. Shoooting 35 shots brings the tank from 3,000 psi to about 2,000 psi. Using a Hill Mk4 pump, it takes 4 pumping sessions and 1 hour to fill the tank back up (because of the heat, you need to rest the pump for 15 minutes after about 50 strokes). I am definitely saving for a small carbon fiber tank.
Things I liked:Very well made, nicely finished piece of equipment Very accurate , very quiet Lots of mods / acc. Available
Things I would have changed:Would possibly include open sights with rifle so that it is Useable " out of the box "
What others should know:I was worrying about filling tank with the hand pump, But it turned out to be a non-issue for the way I shoot If I wanted to plink all day I would consider the co2 adapter
Things I liked:I did extensive research so I had no surprises. The Talon SS works as described. It is accurate and fairly quiet. The compact size makes it very handy. I am impressed with the quality and really like that it is made in the USA.
Things I would have changed:Would really like it if they could develop a multi shot system instead of the single shot. The good news is it is easy to load the pellets.
What others should know:It is important to follow the advice of others and get the high scope mounts. By raising the scope up you have a more comfortable aiming position.

Error Message in Word related to Hard Disk
3 Attachment(s)
I've attached a screen of two messages that come up very frequently as I'm working on Word. They seem to have no impact on my performance, ability to save, or my Time Machine backups. However, they are worrisome and annoying because they seem to pop up about every minute or so and then I have to acknowledge the message before moving on.
I've also attached a screen shot of my Mac HD so you can see that I have plenty of space left on my Hard disk.
Help would be much appreciated!
Something may not be right with your hard drive. It appears there should be room since you have around 80 GB free space remaining. Unless the drive is partitioned, you should have enough free space for Word to use.
Do this to verify and check the hard drive:
Boot your machine with the original install DVD. (Hold down C key as soon as you hear the chime)
Do not allow the installation program to continue, instead click on the top menu Utilities, and select Disk Utility. Now highlight your hard drive on the left side of the screen by clicking on the item that shows drive capacity.
From the right side of the screen, select the First Aid tab. Now select verify and repair. If errors appear, allow the program to repair them and continue the process until all errors are cleared. You can also choose to repair permissions from here as well. That may take some time to complete which is normal.
Report back results.

The HoneyMonkey technology has become the de facto standard for both the security industry and the search engine industry. In 2007, he invented Strider Search Ranger – the first search-spam detection system based on dynamic crawling and traffic analysis. The work was featured on New York Times and has had an industry-wide impact on wiping out search-spam.
Yi-Min received a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from National Taiwan University in 1986, a Master's degree in electrical engineering (with a thesis on spectral estimation) in 1990, and a doctorate in computer engineering (with a thesis on fault tolerance) from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1993.

Last year, I wrote about time stealers and choices. I knew it was easy to get side-tracked, but I never came up with a solid plan to overcome those time stealers. You see, prior to being a mom, I was an autism specialist. My world was driven by weekly calendars with boxes of appointments, post it notes, and lots of color coding. My day planner literally RAN my life. Prior to that, I was a working student… pretty much the same. So, when I retired to stay home with my daughter, I told myself that I would never be run by a calendar in the same way again. But as she had more social commitments and classes and then I started my business with Rodan + Fields Dermatologists and made the decision to begin The momME Project, I needed to get a little more structured.
After spending three full days with Michael Stevenson of Transform Destiny at The Power to Create Your Life… Now! Phase I, I now realize how I had set myself up to fail. No matter how much I consciously said I wanted to get more scheduled and organized, my unconscious mind knew only that I'd made being calendar-dependent something that I would never do… and it wouldn't let me. Now that I'm aware of that, I can change what my unconscious mind thinks and finally get on track.
But, other very important values for me continue to be spontaneity, flexibility, and fun. So how do I find a balance? How can we, as moms, be available for those last-minute play dates, but still make sure we get to everything else that needs to be done? I have a few ideas about that and look forward to sharing them in my next post and hearing what you've done to find your balance. Until then, enjoy the ideas that Life as Mom has to share.

Eurocopter has been confident for some days that the 23 August Sumburgh CHC Scotia Super Puma accident was not caused by a technical fault, but it was unable to go public on why.
Now the UK Air Accident Investigation Branch, having downloaded information from the cockpit voice and flight data recorder, has released a factual statement saying that so far they can see no detectable technical failures, but they are continuing their investigation in greater detail.
About a week ago the Aberdeen-based Helicopter Safety Steering Group lifted its voluntary grounding covering all Super Puma variants. The next day (30 August) the UK Civil Aviation Authority backed the HSSG's position, stressing that it didn't believe the accident "was caused by an airworthiness or technical problem, and considers that the decision by the operators to resume Super Puma flights is appropriate". To say that in advance of the CVFDR download, they must have been pretty confident following interviews with the crew and surviving passengers that the aircraft was technically safe.
According to the data recorder, the crew intercepted their localiser/DME approach to runway 09 at the correct height on the extended centreline, but quickly descended below the ideal profile with the airspeed also reducing rapidly.
The engines were "producing power at impact", says the statement. Maybe, but was it the power the crew were demanding? The AAIB's statement is so terse one suspects they think it was.
But that's just one of the questions still to be answered by more detailed study, in which the AAIB is now engaged. If it really was a purely human factors-centred accident, the Board has to find out why the crew was able to misjudge the approach as they did. Were they distracted? If so, by what?
The weather was pretty typical for Shetland, a thin mist with broken low cloud, 2,800m visibility. Out the front windscreen the crew would have seen a grey sea below, a grey mist ahead, and grey skies above, probably all merged. They would not have been able to see the runway lights at any point during their approach because they hit the water about 2,800m from the runway threshold.

Just imagine how this is all interpretted by companies that are interested in building a casino in Springfield. First you'd have to get a special licesnce to run slots after 1 am, and now the mayor wants to close your establishment at 1 am. I wonder if Sarno is working this hard to discourage regular business from coming to Springfield? I guess he'd rather be a small town mayor, the job would be easier.
What you have is a perfectly legal activity being banned in a persons home. Some people may consider this activity wrong, but as of this point in time it is legal to purchase and use tobacco. So the real issue is can the government go into a person's home and tell them what they can or can't do, even if that activity is legal. Is the next step for SHA to say that drinking is not allowed because of all the problems that alcohol causes. So much for a persons home being their castle. This is NOT a private individual dictating what can be done on their property, this is a case of the government saying what can be one within a persons home. Where is the ACLU? Why aren't they defending the rights of people to perform legal activities in their own homes? Do they condone the government intrusion into an individuals rights? Maybe because they don't like smoking they'll turn a blind eye to the intrusion? Double Standard. Get the government out of a person's home.
If a company has a store in a state they collect a state sales tax. The company hires local workers and uses local services. In exchange the state provides services, When a company has a store in another stated, it uses none of these services and shouldn't have to pay for them. All Mass wants is the money. They know the company uses none of the services available in Mass, they just want residents to pay, which is what the state usually wants. Stick it to us and then do what they want with the money, which is usually pay their fellow cronies.
If you go to the bank to cash a check you need to provide a current ID. If you go someplace to get your taxes done you need to provide a current ID. I guess some people believe that voting isn't as important as cashing a check.
Just prior to an election a person who is running for re-election wants to limit the ability of people to advertise that they are also running for office. Of course this just happens to be a coincidence and is being done in the best interests of the town. If this was such a great idea, why wasn't it done immediately after the last (or any other previous) election?
If this is to be done, in all fairness it should be done after the election rather than just before it. It should not have an adverse impact on any plans that may already exist. Of course fairness is not necessarily part of the political climate and a little infringement of freedom of speech doesn't bother some people.
I missed the joke about cancer; I guess my sense of humor is slightly different from these critics. Frank gave a number of alternatives to the way that PETA could spend their money, one of which was to support research to save lives while other options were ways to improve lives. These "critics" decided that they would take the simple approach of misleading readers into thinking that the whole story was about something totally different than was intended. Now that's a simpleton's approach to anything. Instead of discussing the positive ways to spend money that were suggested or help people they want to focus on a perceived insult. If you want to criticize, identify real mistakes and point them out. For example it is the Medal of Honor, congress has very little to do with it and no one "Wins" it, the Medal of Honor is awarded. There is no competition; no one goes into a fight to win it. And usually the recipients, who actually survive, will tell you that they were just doing their job and helping out their buddies.
Frank did not make a joke, he offered useful alternatives to the way an organization spends its money. If you don't like the alternatives then offer some better ones yourself. Don't try and mislead people to believing that he said something he didn't.
Last year Patrick cut services for VA patients, now he's cutting services for the elderly. He's trying to figure out how to get the money so that illegal immegrants can pay reduced tuition for Mass. state colleges. I think he's just showing who he cares about and who he doesn't. If we're old enough to maybe not be around at the next election he's going to cut our services.
This man was elected by less than half the voters in the state. He wants to give in-state tuition to people who are breaking the law (of course under his reign a lot of Mass citizens are opting to go to other state universities so maybe that's why he wants to increase enrollment). The next move is to give illeagals full rights so that he can guarantee enough votes so he can get re-elected. I have nothing against immegration, but illeagal aliens are not citizens of the United States and are certainly not citizens of Massachusetts. If someone broke into your house and refused to leave should you be forced to feed him and provide a place for him to sleep just because he's there?
For the person who says the Republicans Got Us Into This Mess they should remember that Mass. has the second highest per capita debt rate in the us (over $14,000 for every man, woman and child in the state) and that the Democrats are in charge and have been for years. The most powerful man in Massachusetts is, and has been for decades the Speaker of the House, and they have been Democrats.
Now if you want to blame the Republicans for the way the Federal government is run look at the way congress has been swinging back and forth, but this is the first time we've had a major piece of social legislation (that will cost our grandkids billions) that was passed without bipartisian support. This goes back to when Social Security was enacted as a suppliment to retirement.
Let's make a deal I won't blame just the Democrats, you don't just blame the Republicans, and we both vote to kick them all out of office and start with a new batch.
This is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and they know they can get away with anything. Where else would you have the most powerfull position in the state as Speaker of the House. How else could you explain how he can hold up getting new jobs for people throughout the state because he wants to get large sums of money into the hands of a few people in his district. If the people who elect these officials aren't told about the problems by the media and continue to vote them back into these positions of power, then we get what we deserve. The old saying is "Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely". We have not held our representative accountable for their actions, we defend them from anyone else trying to hold them accountable, then we shouldn't ask anyone why we are in the mess that we're in.
Interesting comments. If you don't ride a bike, please hang up the cell phone and pay attention to what's going on. A biker isn't scary; a soccer mom with the kids in the back seat talking on a cell phone while driving a SUV is scary (whether you're on a motorcycle, bicycle, walking near the road or in another car). And I don't care if you say your hands are free, it's the conversation not the fact you have your hand to your ear. Remember, the life you save could be mine.
If you ride a bike, take a class and learn as much as you possible can to make yourself a better and safer rider. If you say you've been riding too long to learn anything, you qualify as a scary person too. You never stop learning, you should never stop practicing, you should never stop getting better. Don't trust to luck, make yourself better.
I presume that you fans know the basic rules of the game. The fan did not "just react" and grab a foul ball, that ball was in play. Everyone in the park saw the first base umpire fule it a fair ball, so this fan decieded that it was his right to change the course of the game by going on to the field and disrupting play. The fact that he did not step foot on the field doesn't change what he did. If you disrupt the play of the game, try and physically change the outcome of the game, you deserve to get thrown out and that's all that happened.
Two points: 1 - Patrick has to realize that he is not in charge, the Speaker of the House is, always has been, and unless something changes always will be. 2 - If this is how a Democratic govenor, Democratic House, and Democratic Senate works together, maybe it is time for a change to something different.
This is a select team that is made up of people who have passed a competition based upon demonstrated skills. Decisions were made that said these 13 had the skills that were necessary and that everyone else didn't make it. To add this young boy because it would be a feel good story cheapens the accomplishments of the players who made the team. If you don't like the idea of a team of young people who compete for a job and make it based upon their demonstrated skills then don't have the team. But tell this boy that we're putting you on this team because of your family situation, even though you don't deserve it. Just think, when he gets older he'll be able to say I was on an All Star team because people felt sorry for me, not because I deserved it. I imagine that will make him feel special for the rest of his life. Is what you want to do to him?
To be based upon our governments idea of character there would be no smoking, no drinking, employees would be unionized government workers making at least $20 per hour (whether they show up or not). All winnings would be taxed at a increasing rate starting at 10% for anything over $10 and going up gradually to %100 for anything over $1,000. The hours of operation would be flexible and the casino would close down if more than 5 people (except for politicians who are there on "fact finding" missions) start to have fun. Fun will not be tolerated, after all this is probably the only state in the country who doesn't allow Happy Hour. Just go to the casino, give them your money, then go home and have a drink and smoke (while you can still do that in your home).
The majority of the American people did not want this bill. It would appear that the only people who want it are the ones who passed legislation saying that they would not be affected by it. This bill is not perfect, doesn't pretend to be, and isn't even close. And not only is it a bad bill, but we are going to put generations deeper into debt. They say it's going to save money, but we have to cut back on Medicare spending. So let's cut back on medical treatment for the elderly, they'll die faster and that will reduce the amount of Social Security that has to be paid out, that's how they plan on saving money. They say that Massachusetts health plan is the model, but if you look at Mass you'll see that we're going broke, they're cutting services and raising taxes every chance they get. Good model, this is what we can expect.
My parents would give me medicine and say it's good for me. I believed them because they were my parents, older and wiser. Congress isn't older and isn't wiser and is far more corrupt so why should I belive them.
This is the same person who kicked the outpatient clinic out of the Holyoke Soldiers home leaving the elderly who risked their lives for their country to try and find a way to replace this service. It seems that the only people Patrick does not mind jaming up are the old and infirmed.
With the fact that the Boston politicians are out of touch with what is going on, it's no wonder that the citizens of Mass are drinking more. They're driving us to drink. And, according to previous articles, we're not drinking the good stuff anymore (we can't afford that with all the taxes we pay); we're drinking the cheap stuff. Maybe the electoral staff can take those coincidences and come up with another way to raise taxes for benefits that never seem to go to the taxpayers.
Our beloved Boston leadership is cutting services to Veterans and seniors because they say they can go and find help someplace else. Now they want to spend more of our money to buy something that didn't work because they say we need more lawyers in the state. Why not take a small part of the money that they are going to have to spend on the law school and use it to support the people who have supported us and let the kids go someplace else like they do now? We now have an elected elite that is so out of touch with what is really going on that you expect to hear someone shortly say "Let them eat cake".
You are saying Brown is a Republican (just like the Coakley commercials where they make that sound like a dirty word) and that he would always vote with the Republicans, but then you say how Coakley is in lock-step with the Democrats and that is a good thing. I have been a registered Democrat since I first heard of Kennedy (John) and I followed him and his brother Robert. I was impressed with their brilliance and concern, but all Ted ever impressed me with was his cowardice. In any other state he would have served jail time for what happened to Mary Jo, instead he kept getting elected to the Senate. I believe that Coakley is just like the other Mass Dems and look what they have done to this state, people are moving out, the legislature wants to get us back to the position of the most taxed state in the country, and they are cutting services for our veterans. I'm sorry but it's time for a change and I don't believe Coakley is it. And this editorial was not a well thought out statement of options and positions, it sounds like a paid political advertisement.

.. and as an opposing fan, which option concerns you the most?
.. and as an opposing fan, which option concerns you the most?
I have to go with buttfumbler. I do believe Gararrad is the best QB the Jets have had on there roster for the past 4 years. Keeping Rex, hiring a new to GM - GM and bringing in Moringwood all signals to me that Rex convinced the ower Sanchez is his franchise QB.
The Jets are still a dumpster fire...only 10 returning starters, 26+ positions to fill with less than 6mil, rookies to sign and revis to trade which will be another giant cap hit!
What a mess!
Matt Barkley-USC
It won't matter.
Although I thought generating the poll would elicit some interesting perspectives - I'm still torn myself:
1) no doubt in my mind that of the existing players, Garrard would be the designated starter providing
a) he stays healthy and
b) there's a fair competition which I doubt considering even after the Pats Thanksgiving butt bowl humiliation, the men's foot loving HC still refused to try either Tebow or the QB who won an NCAA national championship, and has Buttchez''s jersey tatted on his arm.
2) they make a trade with AZ and renegotiate a cap friendly deal for Kolb, who looked good in a limited spotlight under Morningwood - giving up Revis and also getting a second this season and second next season or something like that - as both Kolb and MeVi$ appear to be lame ducks.
3) Again, the Morningwood connection: the Eagles draft Geno Smith in the first... or EJ Manual in the 2nd or 3rd and trade them Nick Foles and something like a 2014 2nd and 4th in exchange for MeVi$.
If options 2 or 3 happen, then IMO it would indicate the Woody-endorsed shifting of the power base from The Foot Perv to Itzdick which for the organization would be a good thing...but not necessarily for us.

There is no way they bench Sanchez.
God bless, I'll hang up and listen.
Hands down, Garrard has the most talent and confidence in himself. Sanchez lacks both. But, I can't see the Jets paying Sanchez 13 mil to ride the pine opening the season. MM already said Sanchez has the leg up in the competition and I am skeptical of just how "open" this competition will be. My preference is that Sanchez is the starter but as porous as their defense may be, it won't matter who the QB is.
I expect the leash on Sanchez will be extremely short.
David Garrard will hurt his back wakeboarding in June and need surgery to fix it in August.
Darkhorse is Ryan Fitzpatrick

We have a new feature with a simple concept - burn down the spot. Nyjah kicks things off by tearing this rail a new one.
DC decided to surprise Josh with an appreciation night commemorating the release of his tenth shoe "The Wolf."
This line would be a lifetime achievement for most. For Nyjah, it's just another day in the life. Dayum!
Nyjah is a human wrecking-ball. Look at the way he punks that kink at the end. The gnarlitude cannot be denied.
The SOTY party went off Saturday night. Birdhouse was crowned KOTR champs and Wes Kremer took top honors. Check out some photos of the madness here.
Here is where the big points are earned. This has to be the heaviest KOTR to date. Nollie 3-flip fs board? Jesus...
In this final episode, Nyjah continues his handrail assault, Majerus gets sent to the hospital and Clint dies for all his KOTR sins. Winners announced now!
As the teams converge in their final city, Curren battles Fat Bob, Smolik flexes his tech and Nyjah tackles two of the most hectic kinkers you'll ever see. Only one more episode before the winners are announced Saturday night!
Louie grinds a harsh 30, the rocks take revenge on Clint and Nyjah's piggyback ender has to be seen to be believed. New shit, KOTR-style!
Clive swaps spit, Raybourn goes Gou, Nyjah plays with fire and Louie takes it off the top rope as KOTR blazes on!
The shit hits the fan as KOTR reaches Skatopia - pipes, poultry, Peter Smolik and then somebody gets their windshield smashed in. And this is only the halfway point!
We'll be announcing the 2014 Skater of the Year this Saturday night, but until then check our top 8 finalists and let us know who YOU think should take the only title that matters. Congratulations to all our contenders. What an amazing year!
Majerus spins rail magic, Raybourn breaks the blunt fakie world's record and Nyjah makes out with himself?! Shit's getting' trippy out there on the KOTR.
Louie Lopez keeps it Cherry, Jaws takes the stank leg next level and Matt Berger boardslides the universe. Heavy duty!
Evan Smith gets a heavy NBD, Nyjah kills the MILF game and Majerus goes for the grind of his life. This KOTR is out of control!
Alec Majerus kills kinkers, Birdhouse joins Team Handsome and Nyjah and the ATL Twins get buck on Atlanta's Cyclops rail.

On behalf of Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy William J. Cassidy, Jr. provided the environmental document to Mayor John A. Delaney of the City of Jacksonville and representatives of the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission's Cecil Field Development Office.
The ROD is the final step in the environmental evaluation process mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. NEPA requires federal agencies such as the Department of the Navy to consider the impact that major federal actions, such as the disposal and reuse of Naval Air Station Cecil Field, may have on the environment.
The ROD announces the Navy's decision to dispose of property associated with Naval Air Station Cecil Field in a manner that is consistent with the reuse plan prepared by the City of Jacksonville and is in keeping with the Department of Defense's community-based reuse objectives. The Navy concluded that the City of Jacksonville's proposed redevelopment of the Naval Air Station property responds to local economic conditions, promotes rapid economic recovery from the impact of the air station's closure, and is consistent with President Clinton's Five-Part Plan for Revitalizing Base Closure Communities. The President's plan emphasizes job creation and local economic redevelopment of the closed facility.
The ROD is an environmental document and does not convey the air station property. Conveyance, or transfer of title, of the property is a separate matter that will be undertaken during later discussions between the Navy and the City of Jacksonville.
The ROD reflects the highly successful coordinated efforts of the Navy and the City of Jacksonville. It is a significant step in the base conversion process that allows the local community to begin long term redevelopment and highlights the Navy's commitment to economic prosperity at base closure sites.

Despite a recommendation by the last government for a ban of fur farming, a review conducted by the Department of Agriculture has determined that the industry should be allowed to continue and potentially expand in the Republic of Ireland.
The ban was recommended on welfare grounds and should have gone into effect at the end of this month, effectively shutting down the five licensed mink farms in Ireland located in Donegal, Kerry, Laois and Sligo.
Unfortunately, the Fur Farming Review Group, which was established last year by the Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney, made the opposite recommendation.
The group determined that not only should it not be banned, but it should be open to new entrants. Now it appears the decision is also being justified with further recommendations to improve welfare by doubling inspections and using"best practices" to kill mink in order to minimize suffering.
There are currently an estimated 225,000 mink living on these farms who are typically killed in batches by being gassed with either carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.
Proponents of the fur industry are calling the move a sensible one, citing the state of the economy. However, putting the brakes on a ban will only save 62 jobs and bring in a few million in exports, which the review group called "modest" in national terms, while causing immeasurable suffering to the animals involved and adding to environmental pollution from the fur farms themselves and from the chemicals used to process pelts for nothing more than human vanity.
Animal advocacy groups and individuals are disappointed with the decision, while other groups, including Bird Watch Ireland are worried about the problems that ground nesting birds will face if mink escape or are set free, reports the BBC.
The CEO of the ISPCA Noel Griffin stated that the group remains completely opposed to fur farming and that animals should not be killed just for their fur or be kept in cages that restrict their natural behavior.
Fur farming has been banned in Northern Ireland, the UK, Scotland, Austria and Croatia, while other locations have bans or regulations on certain types of animals and traps.

Susan, I quite agree with you in your last comment.
I was not "having a go" at anyone, including Janet, and certainly not you, but on the other hand, pointing out (in my response TO Janet) that posting in all caps is considered rude and shouting on the internet, and most people won't waste time reading what is even said, not to mention that what Janet said came across, to me, as being very single-minded and judgmental, not bothering to differentiate between people who wear fake fur from the real thing. There is a difference and it's important to not group everyone into one "pot" and judge them all as being the same, which is what her post suggested. Did you bother to even read it? I understand Janet's "passion", but a single or a few words in CAPS for emphasis is very different than an entire paragraph and/or comment. You also seem to feel that I was more interested in addressing what she said than the topic. Not at all, however, I also will NOT be insulted or back down from being judged and especially when judged unfactually, and unfairly, which is what you are now doing. You are asking by the use of the word, "please" in a polite way, but you're also suggesting that I don't have the right to express my opinion if it is not exactly the same. I don't think you've even aware that I had agreed with the premise of the article in the first place.
In a nutshell, what I am trying to say is that it is really frustrating and counter productive for people against animal cruelty to use their energy tactlessly having a go at each other instead of using it to campaign against animal cruelty. : (
Diane L -The comment did not appear on the page when I submitted it first time, but then appeared with the other comment in between when I re-submitted it. Please do not waste any more time on arguing with/having a go at people who campaign against animal cruelty, and instead use that energy to actually campaign against animal cruelty. I am saddened that you used all that energy to even reply instead of just taking on board what was said. I cannot waste any more time on trying to get through to you when there is such terrible animal suffering going on every single second. That is what everybody's energy should be directed towards trying to stop, including mine, right now. PLEASE only use your energy for that from now on, not imagining people like Janet are shouting at YOU personally when she was simply expressing her horror at the cruelty by using caps, which is what many people use them for. I don't know why you made it about you and didn't concentrate on the terrible animal suffering. Please let us all concentrate on that from now on.
Oh, and Susan, I will give you the benefit of a doubt as to your purpose/sincerity about not turning on others, but just curious as to why you posted the same, identical comment, directed AT me, 4 minutes apart, with a completely different one, in-between? That comes across as being not a mistake in "clicking" (due to latency) but a purposely made personal attack. What part about what I said as far as not going after someone with no knowledge of the source of what they are wearing did you not understand? Try to actually read what I said before attacking ME.
Wow, Susan, take your insults and rants where they might be appropriate. I posted 5 months go and was responding to a negative comment made in ALL CAPS, which is considered screaming and yelling on the internet. I have every much a right to post my comment and voice my opinion as anyone else, and I don't do so by SCREAMING at them. I wasn't "turning on" Janet, so why did you "turn on" me, and after a 5 month period of time? I asked a logical question, but guess that went right over your head.
I get so tired of people turning on each other when they should be turning against the horrific animal cruelty. Diane L I am talking about you. Janet's passionate comment was obviously not directed at you so why make it seem like it was? And by "any kind of fur" she most likely meant any kind of animal fur. Direct your energies towards fighting animal cruelty, not AT people who are fighting animal cruelty, because you are being extremely counter productive to the cause and doing animal abusers a favour by attacking people who are fighting against animal cruelty, when they have done nothing to you.
And I agree with Janet, anyone who wears animal fur of any kind is absolutely sick and lacks any compassion or humanity
I get so tired of people turning on each other when they should be turning against the horrific animal cruelty. Diane L I am talking about you. Janet's passionate comment was obviously not directed at you so why make it seem like it was? And by "any kind of fur" she most likely meant any kind of animal fur.

Thank you for sharing.
Fur farming will slowly and surely be ban,in the near future.
Because the methods to used to kill these innocent animals are so inhumanely cruel and unthinkably horrible! These shouldn't be happening in advanced and civilized modern era!

Megan Gregg, Graduate
Opening Possibilities
It can be difficult enough for anyone to make it through high school or pursue a GED. For Megan Gregg, the obstacles that prevented her from completing her education came not only from the outside world, but from within herself as well – literally. Her congenital heart conditioned worsened as a teenager, causing her to miss weeks and weeks of school and leaving her unable to graduate. Part-time jobs then kept her from starting on her GED right away. "I wasn't pushing as hard as I could have been because you get discouraged as life comes up," Megan explains. When her hours were cut and her employment eventually terminated, Megan told herself, "This is where I'm meant to be," and began anew to pursue a degree.
Memories of high school were still fresh in her mind when she started classes at Seeds of Literacy, but Seeds stood out by contrast. She was surprised by how many people were not only willing to help, but to make sure she truly understood the lessons. "It wasn't like in high school where they figured if you saw something once, you knew it," Megan says. "Seeds is helpful and patient and I could go at my own pace." The flexible classes fit her unpredictable work schedule, and Seeds' personalized approach prevented Megan from getting frustrated. "You helped me isolate exactly what I had problems with instead of making me take everything over again," she says. "I don't want to say it was easier, because it wasn't. It was hard work. But you didn't judge, you didn't belittle anyone, you never made anyone feel that they couldn't achieve their potential."
Now that she's earned her GED, Megan has her heart set on becoming a librarian. "The people in my family are avid readers. I couldn't think of a place where I'd be more comfortable or do more good than in a library." Seeds of Literacy helped to boost her confidence, but truly it is Megan's own dedication, revealed in her accomplishments at Seeds, that changed her outlook. "If I graduated from here, why not go to college?" Megan asks herself now. "Seeds makes you feel like anything is possible."
Martina Dix, Graduate
Going Further
For Martina Dix, earning her GED was truly a family affair. Martina's uncle is Jeff Mazo, Seeds of Literacy's Retention & Reassessment Coordinator. He encouraged Martina to take advantage of the free GED preparation that Seeds offers. Jeff knew Martina had the potential to succeed—she just had to take the first step.
But it wasn't just Martina who decided to turn her education around. Her niece Darniqua and her sisters Cassandra and Brianna also enrolled. Together, they attended class nearly every night. Martina says that before enrolling, "my life was kind of unfulfilled. I needed to complete myself. I wanted to go further than where I was." And Martina did go further. With the support of her family, they encouraged and pushed each other to attend class, work hard, and reach their goals. Their dedication to each other and their education paid off: Martina, Cassandra, Brianna, and Darniqua were thrilled when they all passed the GED exam within weeks of each other.
Though she's been employed for years at a fast food chain, Martina is excited for the new opportunities the GED gives her. "I have options now," says Martina. "I want to further my education. I can do that." And she wants to make sure that other people know they can have the same opportunities if they try. "People feel like if they get to a certain age, they can't succeed," she says. "Don't give up. Ever."
Lonnet Minter, Graduate
25 Years of Procrastination are Over
In talking to Lonnet, it's easy to hear the energy in her voice and the excitement she has for learning. "In the 9th grade I was doing really good," she explains. However, changing schools and harder math classes began to take their toll, as well as being diagnosed with ADHD. "My self-esteem was very low, and I had a lot of financial issues trying to take care of myself so I dropped out." After that, Lonnet spent a lot of time on her own, working at places like Marc's and McDonalds. At the same time, other events in her life began to take over. "I had my daughter at 21, had my son at 25."
She struggled to find jobs that paid well enough to support her growing family. "I basically was working and raising my children. I wasn't even thinking about getting my GED then. I was able to get jobs without it, but they were low-paying jobs like McDonald's. I was able to become an STNA without the GED, but I was lying on applications."
As years passed, Lonnet began to think more and more about her own education. "Our daughter's graduating high school, and I promised that I'd have my GED before she graduated. I wanted to better my quality of life. I can't do anything without my GED and I'm tired of lying about it."
So Lonnet decided to go back to school. She had gone to a different GED program, but chose Seeds of Literacy when she moved into the neighborhood, "Since I moved here, I was looking for something closer."
When she arrived, it was different from the other classes she'd seen, "It was very welcoming. Everybody was very nice and made you feel comfortable." When asked about what she likes about Seeds, Lonnet smiles, "The tutors are great because they're all different types of people and they all seem like they have a nice heart, like they want you to do better. It's like everyone here has one common goal, for you to get that GED so you can go on to the next level."
Lonnet grins as she describes learning that she had passed the test. "When I saw my scores, it was like that weight just lifted off of my shoulders, the procrastination of 25 years. I'm no longer a loser, I'm a winner. There were tears running down my face and I was shaking." She pauses, adding, "It was a wonderful feeling, it was like winning the lottery."

BOX SCORE: Russia 81, Australia 74
BOX SCORE: United States 97, Finland 70
Kazan, Russia --- For Cameron Bairstow and the Australia Boomers, silver works just fine. Bairstow scored 21 points in the championship game against home-standing Russia, but it was just short as the Russians won gold with an 81-74 title game win. For the U.S., they earned ninth place with a 97-70 win over Finland, with Alex Kirk scoring eight points and grabbing four rebounds.
Both the Aussies and the Americans finished 6-2 overall. Australia, which finished 15th in the last World University Games, earned its first basketball medal at the Games. It was nearly gold, except for a bad finish to the opening quarter, in which it fell behind 25-15 at the break. That deficit jumped to 15 before another stirring comeback, one that ultimately fell short.
For the U.S., dropping into the middle 9th/16th bracket proved not much of a contest, as the U.S. easily rolled to ninth place with its 97-70 win over Finland. Ironically, over the course of the games, the U.S. played and beat all three Scandinavian countries in Sweden, Norway, and Finland.
The tournament proved to be a stepping stone for Bairstow, who led the Boomers in scoring (12.8 ppg), rebounding (6.8 rpg), and blocks (1.0 bpg). He also finished second in assists, shooting 49% from the field, and 65% from the line. Bairstow was at his best in the big games, scoring 22 against the U.S. to basically put the Aussies into the medal round, hitting the winning basket over 2011 gold medalists Lithuania, and then hitting for 21 in the gold medal game.
While Kirk wasn't the leading scorer, his minutes proved valuable in Kazan. He averaged 3.7 points and 5.3 rebounds while playing a little over eight minutes per contest. He went 11-for-17 from the field, and 4-for-6 from the line, and his four blocks were fourth on the team.
Bairstow will get a chance to rest up before rejoining the Lobos on August 4 as the Lobos head to Australia for an international trip to play three exhibition games in Australia. It will be a chance to Bairstow and fellow Aussie Hugh Greenwood to play in front of their country-mates with New Mexico, and it will allow the team to get in some extra practice and a few games with new head coach Craig Neal manning the team.
