WASHINGTON, April 21, 2006 As the Army Reserve observes its 98th birthday this weekend, the commander of U.S. Army Reserve Command today took the opportunity to honor the only U.S. soldier who remains listed as captured in Iraq, Army Reserve Sgt. Keith "Matt" Maupin.
Army Lt. Gen. James Helmly noted the contributions and sacrifices Army Reservists are making in support of the global war on terror during a birthday commemoration here at the Pentagon. The Army Reserve was established on April 23, 1908.
More than 150,000 Army Reserve soldiers have been mobilized since Sept. 11, 2001, and more than 25,000 have been called to active duty more than once, he noted. "These are clearly hallmarks of heroes," he said.
"But we cannot recognize the call to duty or mention heroes without taking a moment to remember the only American soldier who remains missing in Iraq," the general told an assembled group in the Pentagon's MacArthur Corridor.
Insurgents captured Maupin April 9, 2004, after his fuel convoy came under attack at Baghdad International Airport. Two of the 43 soldiers in the convoy, Sgt. Elmer C. Krause and Spc. Gregory Goodrich, and six civilians were killed in the action that followed. A week later insurgents released a videotape showing the soldier surrounded by five armed men. In June of that year, another videotape showed a man being killed, and an audio track identified the man as Maupin. Pentagon officials have called the second video inconclusive.
The Army continues to list Maupin, a 724th Transportation Company soldier, as "missing-captured." Helmly praised Maupin today and said the Army is committed to bringing him home.
"Matt Maupin answered the call to duty. He continues to courageously answer the call to duty today," Helmly said of the 724th Transportation Company soldier.
Helmly also remembered the Maupin family, who he said "continues to answer the call to duty, serving faithfully and without reservation." He noted the family's tireless work with the Yellow Ribbon Support Center they founded in Ohio to support soldiers and their families. One example of their work was the recent distribution of state-of-the-art computers to Iraq for soldiers to use in communicating with their families and loved ones at home, the general noted.
Maupin's plight serves as a reminder of the Army's warrior ethos, Helmly said. The ethos' four principles are: place the mission first, never accept defeat, never quit, and never leave a fallen comrade.
"We must never forget our brother in arms who is not able to be with his family and celebrate this day with us," Helmly said. "We will live the warrior ethos daily, praying for his family and fighting to bring him back home."

Randy Wolf auditioned for eight teams last week
Nov 25, 2013, 9:20 AM EDT
Fox's Ken Rosenthal reports that Randy Wolf auditioned for eight teams last week.
I love the use of the word "auditioned." It makes me think of "X-Factor" or "American Idol" or something. After Wolf throws, a GM and an ex-player, sitting at a table with product placement-festooned cups rip him to shreds. One other guy — maybe a play-by-play guy — says he loved him and to keep his chin up. Wolf looks uncomfortable taking both the the insults and the praise, and later, when a camera is on him alone, he says defiant things about how everyone will be sorry one day for doubting his talent.
For what it's worth, Rosenthal says that Wolf — who posted a 5.68 ERA in 158 innings for the Brewers and Orioles in 2012 — threw between 87-89 m.p.h. but his curve looked good and he's getting offers already.

I would watch that show.
A stat-head GM, a former player (Who wasn't as good as people remember him to be), and a old time Scout with a mouth full of chewing tobacco and a mouth like a sailor, all behind a podium judging and criticizing players. Fans would be charged 2.99 a text to vote our opinions. You would have the good looking ball players who could hit the ball a mile, but in reality couldn't hit a curve ball. You'd have pitchers who could throw mid 90's but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. And you'd have the ugly step child of baseball, the sub-mariner throwing low to mid 80s with the nastiest stuff you've ever seen but never getting any votes because he isn't "marketable". And the winner would be signed to a AAA contract for the MLB team that missed the playoffs last season. It would be FANTASTIC!

Umm, who were the teams? isn't that kind of an important part of the article?

I assumed it was the eight most desperate.
- bolweevils2 - Nov 25, 2013 at 11:46 AM
Good, as I had hoped the my Mets would be interested and they'd qualify.
I'm thinking you could sign him for next to nothing, so nothing to lose. And if you are willing the give him the benefit of the doubt that his lousy 2012 was the result of the arm problems that eventually led to Tommy John surgery, you might conclude he'd be worth a shot. In the years immediately prior to 2012, he was respectable and threw 200 innings.
Allowing some slippage due to his current age of 36, it's plausible he could throw 180 innings of 4.50 ERA ball. And that's valuable these days. Ask Jason Vargas. And if he's lost it, cut him in spring training, no big deal.

Well the Phillies are bound to be irrelevant again so I say, effit bring back the Wolf pack!
- scotttheskeptic - Nov 25, 2013 at 2:16 PM
@Jonny5 – the way he is going, Amaro is likely to hand himself a 3 year/$30 million deal to be the 4th outfielder.
- riverace19 - Nov 25, 2013 at 6:36 PM
7 teams are interested in what? A reliable batting practice pitcher?
- gloccamorra - Nov 26, 2013 at 12:32 AM
87-89 is below average for a righty, but Wolf is a left hander, and that's about average for a veteran lefty who "knows how to pitch". There's always room for a lefty in the bullpen who can get lefty hitters out, and in fact there's a shortage of loogys in the majors. At 37 Wolf is well positioned to make some pin money for a couple more years, and it's always nice to make Baseball Reference look foolish listing his "last game" prematurely.

Cheers and jeers
Cheers ... to the 2013 Rutherford County Schools Hall of Fame class. Inductees Albert B. Bushong, Dee C. Cole, Jane S. Flack, Henrietta C. Twitty, J.J. Tarlton, Forrest W. Hunt, Roger T. Petty, Robert and Janice McNair and Dr. Bobby England have been staunch supporters of Rutherford County Schools and we commend them all.
Cheers ... to Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy for its performance at the State Quiz Bowl in Durham. TJCA won first place for middle school students and second place for the high school.
Cheers ... to Debbie Bedford, Rutherford County Elections Director, who was recently elected president of the state group of election directors.
Cheers ... to former Chase High School pitcher Todd Coffey who had his No. 19 retired by the school on Thursday. Coffey signed with the Cincinnati Reds in 1998.
Jeers ... to Senator Richard Burr, who voted to kill any meaningful discussion of gun safety issues such as expanding background checks to individual gun deals, an issue that the majority of Americans (and a majority of NRA members) support.
Cheers ... to the Bostic Lincoln Spring Festival being held today in Bostic.
Cheers ... to R-S Central pitcher Dustin McEntire for throwing a no-hitter against Freedom on Thursday night. McEntire struck out six while facing 22 batters. Only three reached base, all on fielding errors.
Jeers ... to those responsible for the bombing in Boston and the ricin laced letters sent to a U.S. Senator and the President. These are acts of cowardice committed by cowards.
Cheers ... to the first responders, medical personnel and ordinary citizens who responded to the bombings swiftly and heroically rendering life saving care.
Cheers ... to the people of Boston for their resolve and determination in the face of tragedy.
Jeers ... to all those in the media who are speculating on the motives of the Boston bombers before all the facts are in.
From a reader ...
Cheers ... to the NC/SC Battle of the Border. Over 700 youngsters and their parents were in town for the basketball tournament over the past weekend. Thanks so much to Larry Ross, tournament director and the over 30 local coaches who give their time to coach these youngsters. But most importantly, these men spend countless hours tutoring these kids in the life skills they will need and keeping them in a safe and wholesome environment as they grow into young men.
To offer your own cheer or jeer for consideration, email Editor Matthew Clark at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please put "Cheers and Jeers" in the subject line.

The Eucharist (Mass)
The essential action of the Mass involves:
the taking up of bread and wine,
the offering up of a prayer of thanksgiving for creation and redemption,
the tearing up of the bread,
the sharing of the bread and wine.
During the ealiest years of the Christian religion, worshippers often (perhaps always?) celebrated
these actions within the context of a full meal, itself often called the agape. In any event,
by the fourth century Christians no longer celebrated the Eucharist with a full meal. They did,
however, continue to incorporate a service of readings, songs, and preaching within the
Although the details of eucharistic ritual varied widely from rite to rite and even significantly
within some rites, the basic shape of the Roman Mass as celebrated throughout the Middle Ages
can be schematized as follows (the chant forms for the actions follow in italics):
Opening Rites
Blessing of Salt and WaterScripture Proclamation
Sprinkling of Altar(s) with Blessed Water, Asperges me, Vidi aquam
Preparatory Prayers for the Clergy

"I was hungry and you fed me."
— Matthew 25:35
About Us
Since 1991, the Way Station has cared for the hungry and homeless of Houston by feeding them, providing social services, and by treating them with love, dignity, and respect. We believe that people who experience themselves as lovable, dignified, and worthy are better able to fulfill their God-given potential. More than 92,000 meals were served in 2013.
What We Do
Five days a week, including all holidays but Thanksgiving, the Way Station delivers:
- Hot, Nutritious Breakfast: Volunteers prepare and serve meals to several hundred clients per day.
- Medical Support: Four days a week, a doctor or nurse practitioner provided by Healthcare for the Homeless – Houston offers preventative medical care and mental health services and refers clients to the appropriate medical resources.
- Social Services Support:
- A Client Services Coordinator helps clients address their individual needs. In 2013, 4,857 referrals were made to shelters, service agencies, clothing centers, Veterans Administration, drug treatment facilities, job search and training, Access Bus service, and more. Toiletries and Clothes: Personal hygiene items are provided to clients at no cost. In the winter, caps, gloves, and socks are available upon request.
- Human Needs Fund: The fund provides eligible individuals with work clothing and boots, METRO passes, housing for one week at a drug-free facility, and funding for personal identification documents and birth certificates.

Serve As a Volunteer
We welcome all volunteers from the community. We depend on you to make this organization work! On behalf of the thousands of individuals whom we serve each year, thank you for your interest in serving at the Way Station. Volunteers perform the following jobs:
|Cook | 6:00–7:15 am
|Serve | 7:15–9:30 am
|Social Services Support | 7:30–9:30 am
To volunteer, please contact the Way Station Director, Terry Henry, via phone, 529.529.6196 ext. 128 or email, firstname.lastname@example.com and specify the type of work you would like to do and the day of the week that you would like to serve.
Initial planning for the Way Station began in 1989 when the vestry of Palmer Church was charged with developing a program to assist the homeless who gathered at the church for help. Five clients came in the first week in January 1991 for coffee, water, instant hot cereal, juice, cheese crackers, and a cup of soup. Now, every Monday through Friday, an average of 360 clients a day receive a nutritious hot breakfast prepared on-site, such as scrambled eggs, pancakes, grits, hearty soups and casseroles, and ham, as well as coffee and juice. After their meal, our clients can consult a social service coordinator. Other community service providers offer additional services such as HIV testing and consultation, medical consultation, and mental health consultation.
Orientation for Volunteers
"On behalf of the thousands of individuals whom we serve, thank you for your interest in serving at the Way Station. Following is a list of suggestions to make your experience at the Way Station successful. We appreciate your feedback. If you have observations to share with us, please contact the Way Station Director, Terry Henry. Thank you"
As an outdoor facility, we encourage volunteers to dress appropriately for the weather in casual clothes and close-toed shoes that are comfortable and can withstand contact with food and drinks. Aprons are available for those who want them. We also encourage volunteers to dress simply and very modestly. Food-handling regulations require that your hair be covered, so please bring a hat. If you do not have a hat, the Way Station will supply a hairnet.
Parking and Personal Belongings
The Palmer Church parking lot at the corner of Fannin and Cambridge, just south of the church, is available for Way Station volunteers. Please lock personal belongings in the trunk of your vehicle. We do not have appropriate secure storage space for purses, wallets, keys, phones, etc. inside the kitchen or patio area.
Arrival and Departure
To cook, please arrive at 6:00 AM and go to the kitchen located in the back right-hand (east) corner of the patio. To serve food, or to work at that Client Services desk, arrive by 7:15 AM and check in with the security guard at the gate. The serving line opens at 7:45 AM, and we need to have time to orient you to serving duties. Upon arrival, go to the steam table under the arches. Someone will be with you shortly to give you an assignment and tell you what to do. Volunteers may leave before the serving line closes at 9:30 AM. Many of our volunteers work and must schedule their time at the Way Station to fit their work hours.
Caps, Gloves, and Hand Washing
Food safety laws require volunteers to wear caps or hairnets to contain their hair. Please plan to bring your own hat/cap if you do not want to wear a hairnet. Volunteers are also required to wear plastic gloves while handling and serving food. We provide disposable gloves. All volunteers are asked to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before handling food.
Ways to Address Clients/Homelessness Sensitivity
It is of utmost importance to Palmer Church and the Way Station that each client be treated with dignity and respect. It is also important to remember that many, though by no means all, of our clients are homeless and that they face discomfort and hostility daily. Most of them are friendly and cheerful. A few, however, may be unfriendly, withdrawn, or even hostile, but we ask that you be friendly, polite, and respectful to them. They are guests of Palmer Church—and we aim to treat them hospitably. Please keep your greetings and comments as cheerful and noncontroversial as possible, as some of our guests have mental health issues. Should you feel threatened or endangered, report the situation to the off-duty Houston Police officer or one of the several uniformed security guards who patrol the parking lot and the patio.
Business Dealings and Requests for Money and Transportation
We request that you do not enter into any business or financial arrangement with a client. Do not buy or sell anything, hire them for work, or lend money. Also, please refuse requests to you personally for money or for transportation. Our social services coordinator is able to provide aid to clients; we ask that volunteers refer clients to our social services desk.
Second Servings
Each client gets one serving of breakfast and is asked to leave the patio after eating. If a client wants a second serving of food, that person waits outside the patio gates. The line of clients waiting for breakfast is closed at 9:15 AM, and, if there is food left, clients waiting for seconds are served from 9:15 until 9:30 AM.

After the announcement last week of Ice Cream Sandwich there was a mad rush for phone manufacturers to reveal which handsets would get 4.0, but the biggest of them all remained quiet until now
HTC had confirmed via their Facebook page that they will indeed be bringing Ice Cream Sandwich to as many of their handsets as possible, with an announcement on specifics due in just a few weeks.
"Since Google unveiled Ice Cream Sandwich earlier this week, HTC has been looking closely at the new OS's features and functionality to determine our upgrade plans...Our goal is to upgrade as many HTC devices as possible and we'll be sharing details on specific devices and timing in the coming weeks!"
This was clearly a move to clear up any speculation after HTC's last statement on the subject had been a bit vague. With this confirmation though it'll be interesting to see which handsets will get the upgrade, with heavy-hitters such as the HTC Sensation, HTC Desire HD, HTC EVO 3D all being in the running.
Android Ice Cream Sandwich: Features
The new OS from Google is the first Android OS that works on both smartphones and tablets and takes design cues from both with the appearance very much Honeycomb influenced while many of the menu layouts conform to the smartphone versions of Android.
Ice Cream Sandwich also contains a whole host of new features such as face-recognition unlock: a feature which lets you unlock the phone by using the front-facing camera to make sure it's you. You'll also get a service called Android Beam which uses NFC technology to throw across files and contact between phones with NFC tech built-in.
Which HTC phones would you like to see getting Android Ice Cream Sandwich? Let us know via the comments box below...

In regards to that first picture, it isn't THAT bad of a reinvention or rehash. Her hand and elbow are at least blocking her chin and neck area, and the other person can't....um... punch that area where her elbow is.
So it's not great. But it could be a lot worse. The elbow being extended like that kind of reminds me of a the typical, straight forward sword or polearm stance. Like the kendo one. But, with a weapon, you can snap an attack. That elbow is useless where it is. If she replaced it with a fist ready to pop a backfist, it might be approaching semi useful.
I disagree with the sentiment that they wouldn't have developed a strange fighting style. Like someone else said, there are plenty of people today, both ancient and new, that have had some ridiculous ideas. What I've seen of Silambam, for example.

TAPIR combines and extends features of the BioCASe and DiGIR protocols to create a new and more generic means of communication between client applications and data providers using the Internet. The TAPIR task group will ensure the applicability and effectiveness of the protocol through association with the development of reference implementations.
TAPIR was developed for use with biodiversity and natural science collection data but is a generic tool applicable to other domains. This task group will also maintain awareness of the potential for interoperability with other subject domains and the protocols that are used or are under development in those domains, and will consider the benefits or problems of convergence with them. The TAPIR task group will liaise with other TDWG subgroups and allied working groups to ensure compatibility of approach and avoid duplication of effort particularly with related biodiversity standards initiatives.

COVINGTON - Newton County is one of nine communities selected by the Atlanta Regional Commission to benefit from its Community Choices program.The county will receive free technical assistance from ARC staff in drafting a mixed-use ordinance. The ordinance would meet a goal of the Livable Centers Initiative study, which focused on ways to improve the U.S. Highway 278 corridor, as well as the comprehensive land use plan. "We will be working on the development of a mixed-use ordinance that would be applicable to the unincorporated portion of the Livable Centers Initiative study area along Highway 278. A mixed-use ordinance would allow different kinds of uses, often retail and residential, to be 'mixed' or located in the same buildings or developments, something that is not typically allowed in traditional zoning," senior planner Scott Sirotkin said. "Mixed-use zoning is an important tool in encouraging development that has a 'small-town' feel. It is our hope that we will be able to use the product of this effort as a template for applying mixed-use zoning to other appropriate areas of the county," such as in development nodes identified on the Future Land Use Map, he said. The ARC received a record 28 applications for this year's program, according to an ARC spokesman. According to Dan Reuter, land use chief for ARC, Newton County was selected because it was part of the LCI. "Community Choices is a program to help communities, once they've done the LCI plan, with implementation," Reuter said. "We do things that are pretty small projects like help with rewriting a code or an overlay district." The goal of Community Choices is to assist local governments with making good, long-term decisions about where, when and how they should grow in order to achieve the unique and individual vision of each community. ARC staff will work to develop the ordinance with a local steering committee that will include representatives from The Center for Community Preservation and Planning; Smart Growth Newton County; The Newton County Home Builders Association; developers and commissioners. The general public will also have an opportunity to give input, Sirotkin said, adding that the task would take close to a year to complete. Other communities chosen for the program are Cobb, Henry and DeKalb counties and the cities of Fayetteville, Avondale Estates, Roswell, Alpharetta and Auburn. Crystal Tatum can be reached at email@example.com.

Immigrants' Rights Clinic
In the Immigrants' Rights Clinic (IRC), students represent immigrants in deportation proceedings before the San Francisco immigration court as well as other administrative bodies and the federal courts, including the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Students develop core litigation and trial skills by: writing and arguing complex legal motions; counseling clients; interviewing witnesses and experts; developing facts; conducting mini-trials involving direct and cross examination of witnesses; and writing and arguing appeals. IRC clients include asylum seekers fleeing persecution abroad, lawful permanent residents (green card holders), and survivors of domestic violence and torture.
All IRC students also engage in impact litigation and advocacy on behalf of immigrant communities. Students in the IRC have developed and litigated class action cases and appeals in the federal courts of appeals, resulting in landmark rulings such as the Ninth Circuit's decisions barring the federal government from subjecting immigrants to prolonged detention. Students have also prepared materials and appeared before administrative and legislative bodies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the California legislature, and the U.S. Congress. Clinic students have developed know-your-rights materials after visiting local immigration detention centers; fought against local law enforcement involvement in immigration enforcement through appearances before local commissions and governing bodies; and appeared before the Inter-American Human Rights Commission to advocate on behalf of undocumented immigrant communities.
"My time in the Immigrants' Rights Clinic has been the most valuable part of my SLS education. It taught me what it means to advocate for my clients' interests, and showed me the myriad of ways that I, as a lawyer, can be a part of real and lasting change. Whether I could affect one person's life through direct services or thousands through an advocacy project, I am so grateful for the opportunity to develop my lawyering skills as part of the IRC!"

Paris. The millions of French citizens who voted for Marine Le Pen's National Front have turned the anti-immigrant, anti-European party into a kingmaker in the second round of presidential elections.
She surged in Sunday's first round to a share of the vote never achieved by her father and former party leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, who in 2002 defeated a Socialist in the first round before losing to Jacques Chirac in the second.
His daughter did not match that feat on Sunday — the incumbent President Nicolas Sarkozy and his front-running Socialist rival Francois Hollande will square off on May 6 — but the National Front (FN) had its best showing ever.
It took almost 18 percent of the vote, according to official results that put Hollande at 29 percent and Sarkozy on 27 percent.
Le Pen's total echoed advances by populist parties across Europe as the euro zone's lingering debt crisis fuels anger over harsh austerity measures, joblessness and ailing economies.
"The battle of France has just begun," the telegenic blonde declared on Sunday after vote estimates were released, adding that "we have exploded the monopoly of the two parties" — the Socialists and Sarkozy's right-wing UMP.
Her breakthrough sparked concern across the continent.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel called it "alarming" and editorialists noted that almost one in three French voters had opted for candidates of the far right or far left. The Washington Post said the FN's strong showing reflected "the extent of discontent at the increasingly visible presence of Muslim and other immigrants in France's Christian-rooted society."
Hollande said the vote for Le Pen, who wants to pull the country out of the euro and rails against globalization and the "Islamization" of France, reflected anger in the country and said he would listen to her supporters.
"Sarkozy is to blame for the far-right's high level," he said, referring to his rival's bid to win over FN voters with tough stances on law and order and immigration.
Opinion polls show most far-right supporters prefer Sarkozy but up to a quarter, mainly working-class voters attracted by Le Pen's protectionist trade policies, could switch to Hollande.
Sarkozy moved quickly to woo FN voters, saying they deserved an answer to their concerns.
"These anxieties, this suffering, I know them, I understand them," he said on Sunday. "They are about respecting our borders, the determined fight against job relocation, controlling immigration, putting value on work, on security."
The first opinion poll after the first round said Hollande would beat Sarkozy by 54 percent to 46 percent in the second round.
Analysts say it is extremely unlikely the 43-year-old Le Pen will endorse either candidate in the second round, but she has said she will express an opinion on May 1.
Le Pen, a seasoned politician before she took over the party leadership last year, has sought to transcend the bigoted image of the FN she inherited from her firebrand father. But critics say she represents the same old hard-right party in new clothes.

Marauders Top Hammerheads 6-2
BRADENTON – The Marauders (63-50, 28-16) topped the Jupiter Hammerheads (41-71, 14-29) 6-2 on Wednesday night at McKechnie Field. John Kuchno (W, 8-8) logged seven strong innings on the mound and the Marauders took advantage of three Jupiter errors. The win extends Bradenton's lead in the division race to 1.5 games over second place Palm Beach.
The Marauders jumped in front in the bottom of the third inning. Justin Maffei led off with a single and moved up to second when Adam Frazier's grounder to shortstop was booted. Walker Gourley dropped down his second sacrifice bunt of the game to advance Maffei and Frazier. Jose Osuna lifted a sacrifice fly to center field to put the Marauders up 1-0.
Jupiter strung together three hits in the sixth inning to briefly take a 2-1 lead, but the Marauders answered in the home half of the inning. Osuna popped up on the infield, but as the four infielder's converged near the mound, the ball glanced off third baseman Avery Romero's glove and fell to the grass. Jordan Steranka followed with a single to put two on. Max Moroff's single to center plated Osuna to tie the game. Eric Wood bunted back to the mound, but Jupiter starter Austin Brice (L, 7-8) mishandled the bunt to load the bases. Justin Howard doubled in two run to give Bradenton the lead back 4-2. With two outs, Maffei singled to center to plate the fifth run of the game.
Walker Gourley led off with a double against Casey McCarthy in the seventh, stole third, and scored on Steranka's ground out to second to establish the final margin. Josh Smith pitched a scoreless eighth inning. Bryton Trepagnier pitched the ninth.
The teams meet on Thursday at 5:00 p.m. for a doubleheader. Tyler Glasnow and Pat Ludwig are slated to pitch for the Marauders. Both games will last seven innings. Gates open at 4:30 p.m.

- Review by Manny
First off, I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 and have it in the silicone rubber "Gameboy" case. This mount caught my eye because of Google Offers but it's still priced very well for its exceptional quality. This mount sticks on your windshield no matter how cold or hot it is outside or how minor or major the bumps you take on the road. I used this mount on 3 different cars and it still functions as if it's day one. Recently, I even mounted it on my motorcycle's windshield (2007 Suzuki GSX-R 600) and through all the bumps, turns, gusts of wind, and high speeds my phone and this mount stay secure.
It's an excellent buy and product for anyone who would like to mount their smartphone. Highly recommended! (Posted on 4/7/13)

St. Louis to Crack Down on Bath Salts
Categories: Crime
|High quality, indeed.
KMOX reports that St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce is pushing the bill sponsored by Alderman Greg Carter (Ward 27).
"These are manufactured in Germany and deliberately sold and marketed to young people because of the high they can get by inhaling them," Joyce told KMOX. "They contain a substance called MDPV, which is highly addictive and can cause brain damage and is often fatal."
Last month, St. Charles County passed an ordinance banning the sale and possession of the drug. Meanwhile, the Missouri Legislature is considering a bill that would add bath salts to the state's list of illegal drugs.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Senior captain Doug Sheppard scored a short-handed goal at 18:28 of the third period to lead the Providence College Friars to a 4-3 upset of second-ranked New Hampshire in HOCKEY EAST action on Saturday, February 12 at PC's Schneider Arena in Providence, R.I.
The Wildcats got on the scoreboard first with some nifty passing during the game's first power-play at 14:17 of the first period. Mike Souza and Darren Haydar passed back and forth before sending a centering pass to John Sadowski who one-timed a shot past Friar goaltender Boyd Ballard. PC evened the game at 18:35 of the first when Fernando Pisani fired a shot from the left side that deflected in the net on the short side. However, the Friars failed to play tight defense on a faceoff in their defensive zone with four seconds remaining in the first period and Mike Souza rifled a wrist shot past Ballard to give UNH a 2-1 lead.
Freshman Devin Rask led the PC offense in the second period, scoring two consecutive goals and giving the Friars their first lead of the game. Rask netted his first in a short-handed situation at 1:18 of the second and his second tally came off a backhander from five feet in front of the net at the 7:03 mark. UNH tied the game at 3-3 when Souza got an awkward rebound at the goal line and stuffed a shot in the net at 11:36 of the second period.
Both teams had a number of chances to take the lead in the third, but the winning goal came after Ballard stopped Darren Haydar on a break away. The rebound of Haydar's shot came off the boards and Fernando Pisani skated it up the ice creating a two-on-one when he feed the puck to Sheppard who lifted it over UNH goaltender Ty Conklin for the game winner.
Ballard played strong in net for the Friars, recording 32 saves and earning his ninth win of the season. Conklin made 24 stops in the loss for New Hampshire.
With the win, Providence improved to 15-14-1 overall and 7-11-0 in HOCKEY EAST. With the loss, New Hampshire fell to 19-6-5 overall and 11-4-5 in league action. The loss, combined with Friday's 6-2 defeat to Northeastern, marks the first time the Wildcats have lost back-to-back games since the 1997-98 HOCKEY EAST Quarterfinals.

Tips and Techniques for Designing Powerful Band Websites
With the popularity of music-based social networks there isn't as much demand for bands to create their own websites. But hosting your own website offers more creative control over content, photos, and merchandise. Any serious band or solo artist should consider launching their own website to provide an official online resource for fans of the music.
In this article I want to cover just a few techniques I've noticed on many band or musician websites. Designs often vary drastically based on the homepage and other important details. However, page content is generally mirrored in a way that visitors become familiar with the interface browsing through different band websites. The goal is to promote your music in a clear, fashionable manner.

Republican candidates hoping to secure their party's nomination for an open congressional seat are emphasizing their conservative credentials as they compete in a six-way race.
Republicans will select the nominee for Virginia's 10th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in a party canvass April 26, a process colloquially called a "firehouse primary."
The seat has been held by U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R) for more than 30 years, but has more recently shown signs of becoming a swing district.
In a debate in Purcellville April 13, five of the six candidates described themselves as anti-establishment Republicans and outlined conservative positions on social issues like abortion rights, illegal immigration and same-sex marriage.
"We all know the problems we are having in Washington … but we keep sending the same type of person back to Washington," said Marc Savitt, a business owner and president of the National Association of Independent Housing Professionals. "I think we need to break the mold and try something new."
Some of the candidates have been taking more direct shots at perceived front-runner Barbara Comstock, a state delegate from McLean who got her start in politics as a Wolf staffer.
Comstock has raked in money and major endorsements in the race, positioning herself as a "common sense conservative." She already has the backing of Republican leaders, receiving support and mentoring through House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's "Young Guns" program.
She has raised more than $450,000 from individuals and $200,000 from party campaign committees so far, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Howie Lind, a retired Navy officer and tea party activist, has vigorously attacked Comstock's record since he entered the race, including taking out ads suggesting that she supports the Affordable Care Act and the controversial expansion of Medicaid in Virginia.
"I have been fighting for conservatism in Virginia for many, many years, not the establishment," Lind said.
While Lind is second in spending on the Republican side, according to FEC records, most of his campaign's operating expenses have been financed by a $120,000 loan, rather than contributions.
His ads drew criticism from state party leaders, who said Lind's attacks are false.
Another candidate, Capitol Hill staffer Rob Wasinger, accused Comstock of lying about her record during the Purcellville debate.
"We need someone with the courage to fight against the administration," Wasinger said in response to a question about why Republicans should support him, criticizing U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc. 1st) for cutting a budget deal with Democratic Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.).
On the issues, the five candidates who participated in the debate indicated few policy differences. Comstock did not participate in the debate, citing a prior family commitment, but also lists similar perspectives on her campaign website on most issues.
Those at the debate said they favor increased border security over other alternatives to resolving the country's illegal immigration problem. Comstock's website does not list a position on immigration.
All six say they are pro-life. Those at the debate said they favor vastly cutting federal spending and regulation, including eliminating federal education standards. And, all, including Comstock, support repealing the Affordable Care Act.
Instead, the candidates emphasized their differing backgrounds and style in making their case to Republican voters.
Stephen Hollingshead, a Loudoun County businessman and former federal appointee, said he helped identify and eliminate $2 billion in welfare fraud during his time at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Del. Bob Marshall, who has represented portions of Prince William and Loudoun counties in the House of Delegates for nearly as long as Wolf has been in office, emphasized his knowledge of the legislative process and his use of the legal system in pursuing conservative objectives.
"I have been tested," Marshall said. "I am not buckling on any of these moral issues, period."
Republicans in the 10th District can vote at 10 different locations on April 26. For more information on the party canvass, see vagop10.org.

By Linda D. KozarynAmerican Forces Press Service
BRUSSELS, Belgium, Oct. 16, 1998 NATO has extended to Oct. 27 its deadline for Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic to comply with U.N. Security Council resolutions.
NATO on Oct. 13 approved limited air strikes and a phased- intensity air campaign against Yugoslavia. The security alliance then gave Milosevic 96 hours to comply with the U.N. terms that include his calling a cease fire and withdrawing military and police forces that have been conducting an offensive against Kosovar civilians. Due to only partial compliance by Milosevic, NATO authorities decided to extend their deadline.
The decision to extend came a day after NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe U.S. Army Gen. Wesley K. Clark signed an agreement with Milosevic in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, authorizing unarmed NATO aircraft to conduct aerial surveillance over Kosovo.
Returning from Belgrade, Clark told CNN that Milosevic still has 40 percent of his forces in Kosovo. "He thinks this is an internal problem and he can do whatever he wants," the general noted. "This is not an internal problem. NATO is engaged, and NATO intends to stay engaged."
A NATO statement released Oct. 16 said, "We are still at some distance from compliance. There is clear evidence that many army and special units that are normally based outside Kosovo are still deployed in Kosovo. The North Atlantic Council expects these units to be withdrawn immediately." The council is the alliance's decision-making body.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and Milosevic have also entered into an agreement that allows an unarmed force of 2,000 observers into Kosovo to verify compliance.
NATO has deployed substantial air forces and continues to maintain its readiness to launch air operations against Yugoslavia, according to the NATO statement. The council called on Milosevic to "take urgent steps to ensure that full compliance is achieved in this time period."

I'm not fond of Liberals either, but to sit back and say they are all on drugs is BS. If a person is brain dead, they can't even think or walk, they are laying in a bed in a coma. Find another excuse. Most Libs are without purpose and choose a cause to be their religion like the Warmist society with Rev Gore.<quoted text>
I truly believe that the reason why we have so many problems now is because we are dealing with a lot of people who are brain dead from taking drugs.
and most of those people who are displaying these brain dead traits happen to be liberal. not all, but most.
know that take drugs are liberals. but there are some who are conservative. overwhelming, they are liberals.
do your own survey. and fi Ind out for yourself.

This started by the Federal Government seizing a house or two that were bought with illegal profits from Bitar's Ponzi offshore gambling schemes.
Full Tilt, sounds more like the methods used to run the city of Glendora, California ever since Chris Jeffers and his hoodlum friends took over.
But back to the good news, another CROOK has been exposed living and running a illegal enterprise in Glendora, California.
Enterprise is the same word used by Glendora's local government officials? Wonder if long time resident and fugitive Raymond Bitar helped frame the financial RICO business plan?

let me tell you why I think the way I do. just so that you understand my point of view...
I see this huge national debt. and to me, I think that to resolve it, you first must stop spending money that you don't have.
but these politicians don't want to do that. they don't even want to submit a budget.
doesn't that sound brain dead?
then, there's this insane policy of giving all this money to foreign countries... when we don't have the money to give.
doesn't that sound brain dead?
another example... we have double digit unemployment. and yet, our government still allows the outsourcing of our jobs?
I could go on with more examples of this strange behavior that I see our politicians following on capitol hill.
how else do you explain all this behavior? if not by saying they are brain dead?

Liberalism: It's a mental disorder. Starts with our radical professors and pushing everyone to go to college. Then elementary and high school teachers push the same idea's, then people actually vote for people like nazi pelosi. Then people that have been brainwashed for years think it's the best thing to not hire the best person but go by skin tones and race. Our system rewards business crooks, if they get caught, they just move on to the next scam.

I totally agree with you that people have been brainwashed. but I also believe that drugs were involved to facilitate the brainwashing.

Now the liberals will want to ban pressure cookers.

Raymond Bitar, a known scammer there all alike, if this piece of dung lied and stole money from investors in his Glendora, California based Ponzi scheme.
Why let him off the hook because he has heart condition, he should have thought about that before he became a crook.
He should be sent to prison for the 6 1/2 to 8 1/2 years, if the piece of dung des in prison so be it and don't let the body put until it does all the prison time handed down by the courts.

Maybe years ago they were used for that with LSD and Magic shrooms a lot of booze and pot, but this is today, pot has it's benefits and is not as harmful as booze.

if the drugs fry your brain, and the damage is permanent, I would say pot is more harmful then booze.
but that's just my opinion.

Your opinion is not based on any facts. Pot does not fry your brain. You show us a link where pot does permanent brain damage? Not your opinion.

my opinion is based on my personal experiences with pot.
no. I didn't take pot. never even tried it. BUT I spent about 20 years of my life with people who did take pot. and during that time, I saw my friends change from logical minded individuals to totally off the wall idiots. I would say it took about 10 years for the change to completely take effect.
at the end of 10 years, they started talking funny to me. quote, "if you don't sell your car, we cannot be friends anymore." I reply why?
their answer.. quote, "because the people who make your car support the deforestation of the amazon rainforest."
just one of many incidents. I see the same insanity occurring on capitol hill now...spending money that we dont' have...giving money to countries that hate us...outsourcing our jobs when we have double digit unemployment... trying to vote in an amnesty that would allow potentially 100+ million illegals.
I mean.. the list of crazy acts is overwhelming.
the brain dead don't know they are brain dead.

Sounds like your former friends were on something more then pot. Plus maybe it wasn't the pot, young people change a lot without any drug. I wanted to post this regarding Obama and the Boston tragic. I'm sure you will agree:
It was sickening. Limp-wristed.
There was no leadership. He wouldn't even call it terrorism.
I'm surprised Janet Napolitano hasn't called this a case of sports-place violence.
That said, there is good news in the midst of this tragedy.
The Boston bombs have derailed Obama's gun-grabbing and immigrant-flooding agenda.
They've been put on hold as America hunkers down.
That stooge Marco Rubio is finished. He's been pushing amnesty around the clock.
The gun grabbing is over.
Nobody is giving up their guns to these incompetent flatfoots in our government, not when we have terrorists running around.

The article, "How to Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom," by "the AQ Chef" instructed would-be bombers to glue shrapnel to the inside of a pressure cooker and then "fill in the cooker with the inflammable material."
The article says, should use gloves to prevent their fingerprints from being found on the bomb fragments and to put you [sic] faith in Allah and pray for the success of your operation.

Tax money makes a big dent in each states taxes, Follow the Money.
Alaska voters likely will get a chance next year to make their state the third in the country to approve the recreational use of marijuana by adults 21 and older.

text: Garth is about to hit the road for his first World Tour in a decade or so, and his wife, Trisha Yearwood will most likely be joining him. So what would the couple need with their Malibu home while they're on the road? It's likely why they're selling the home, and planning to spend much of their home life on the road or in their Nashville home from now on. The beach-front, 4,200-sq.-foot house is now available for a mere $7.5 million. It has four bedroom, three and a half baths, beach access, a spacious gourmet kitchen, open and airy beaching living areas and a tennis court. So if you start saving now.... you can afford your own place similar to this, because by that time, it will likely have sold... a bunch of times. Check out more photos of the beach-front home HERE.

If you're working on something having to do with personal development then you know how tough it can be. Changing your habits, learning new things about yourself, and eliminating negative thoughts is even harder to learn than a new skill because you're essentially rewiring your mind.
But while it is hard, that doesn't mean it's impossible. Many tips are available out there that will help you get through the slumps you have on your self-improvement journey. But one tip that you might not hear often is to learn how to wake up early before even tackling the self-improvement task you'd like to work on.
The reason learning how to get up early will help you is because it will first of all give you a confidence boost, which will in turn help to assist in whatever personal improvement you're working towards. By accomplishing waking up early you will feel good about yourself and your mind will connect making that change in your life with good feelings. This should help your brain to be more accommodating when it comes to the primary self-improvement task you're working on.
Not only that though, but personal development takes time. You need to research, read, practice, and anything else your personal situation requires. This can be tough to fit into an already packed day. You might not feel up to working on it when you get home from work and really that's the only free time during the week you have, other than the weekend. So waking up early will give you time to work on what you need to before you even get the main part of your day started.
Because of having more time in the morning you will also be able to start your day off with a good breakfast and hopefully a small workout. These two things could also add to the possibility of success. Eating a good breakfast will give you energy which will make you feel good throughout the day, and exercising will not only provide you with even more energy, but additional confidence, which is so important when working on self-improvement.
So waking up early will provide you with three necessary tools you'll need to succeed at any personal improvement goal you are working towards: confidence, time, and energy. These three things are so crucial to your success at improving yourself and yet they are often overlooked. So learn how to wake up early first, and once you do that you will have a good foundation set up towards your ultimate goals.
