PROVIDENCE ŌĆō A last minute budget deal, forged amid bluster and tough bargaining, averted an embarrassing federal shutdown and cut billions in spending ŌĆö the first major test of the divided government voters ushered in five months ago.
Working late into the evening Friday, congressional and White House negotiators struck an agreement to pay for government operations through the end of September while trimming $38.5 billion in spending. Lawmakers then approved a days-long stopgap measure to keep the government running while the details of the new spending plan were written into legislation.
But in Rhode Island, it was wait-and-see Friday night.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee, his cabinet and Department of Administration staff were preparing to work through the weekend to gauge the parameters of the stoppage and determine what the state needs to do in response.
ŌĆ£Nothing is going to be certain until the deed is done, one way or the other,ŌĆØ Chafee spokesman Mike Trainor told The Call Friday. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs just waiting and watching right now, and anticipating a fair amount of activity over the weekend if indeed at midnight the government does shut down.ŌĆØ
Trainor said a working group of Statehouse staffers participated along with their counterparts in the other 49 states in a conference call with the White House about the possibility of a shutdown and what exactly it would entail. The White HouseŌĆÖs response to most questions, Trainor said, was ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll have to get back to you,ŌĆØ because the answer was not clear even to those in the corridors of power.
He said the governor started having staffers track the possibility of a shutdown back in February and the working group has been in contact with the stateŌĆÖs Congressional delegation and they have been developing contingency plans against a variety of possible scenarios of what a shutdown might look like.
Both of Rhode IslandŌĆÖs U.S. Senators, Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse, say they would forgo their salaries if there is a shutdown.
Reed said he would contribute the pay he would receive during the shutdown to the United Way, as he did when he was a congressman during the last shutdown in 1995.
"Our job is to keep the government working affectively,ŌĆØ Reed said in a press release. ŌĆ£If the government shuts down, Congress isn't doing its job and therefore shouldn't get paid. If Republicans carry out their threat to shut the government down, millions of workers, soldiers, contractors, and business people won't get paid. It is only fair for members of Congress to share in the hardship."
Reed said he supported a bill that passed the Senate that would prevent congress and the president from being paid during a shutdown and would not allow them to be reimbursed once government activity resumes. That measure stalled in the House of Representatives.
In a speech on the Senate floor Thursday night, Whitehouse told his colleagues, ŌĆ£We are facing some 8,000 federal workers being furloughed, millions more, including men and women in uniform, who will begin working without pay, projects will grind to a halt, people working under government contracts will stop, and there will be a real danger to our fragile economic recovery, that is just starting to gain steam. Why take that risk.ŌĆØ
Whitehouse called the Republican budget proposal a ŌĆ£Trojan Horse filled with Tea Party ideology, it is filled with an extreme right-wing political agenda to do things like eliminate Planned Parenthood and give polluters free rein in violation of the Clean Air Act.ŌĆØ
In his own Senate floor speech, Reed called the possibility of a shutdown ŌĆ£extraordinarily regrettable.ŌĆØ
The stateŌĆÖs senior senator said, ŌĆ£one of the problems we've had, frankly, is that the goal posts have been continuously shifting in terms of Republican proposals.
ŌĆ£The Republican members of the Appropriations Committee initially insisted on levels last year roughly a $20 billion cut, my recollection. Then this year, the House Appropriations Committee under Republican leadership proposed initially cuts of $33 billion from the fiscal year 2010 level. Days later, the Republican leadership decided that was not enough so then it became $60 billion with cuts in everything from E.P.A. water and sewer grants to low-income energy assistance programs, that are absolutely critical to working families. And also critical at a time when our economy is just beginning to regain some of the economic traction it had before.
ŌĆ£This approach, this draconian approach to cuts could very seriously undermine the emerging, not yet complete but emerging recovery,ŌĆØ Reed warned. He said the Republican plan is also ŌĆ£studded with special interest riders, social policy not fiscal policy. And, in fact, there is the impression sometimes that the deficit reduction claims are really just an excuse to try to advance not through the legislative process but through the appropriation process, through the threat of a shutdown very conservative social policies.ŌĆØ
"A government shutdown is not in the best interests of our country, will hurt our families and our economy, and a shutdown is completely avoidable because an agreement had been reached on budget numbers,ŌĆØ 1st District Rep. David Cicilline said in a written statement. ŌĆ£But extreme members of the Republican caucus have hijacked the budget process and are holding it up with controversial policies regarding women's health and the environment.
ŌĆ£Rhode Islanders and all Americans expect us to work together and do what's right for the future of our country,ŌĆØ Cicilline added. ŌĆ£These high-stakes political games undermine the public's confidence in government."
Rep. James Langevin said, "Allowing the government to shut down in the interest of political gamesmanship is the height of irresponsibility in the midst of a delicate economic recovery. Republicans demanded $61 billion in cuts that would be devastating to students in need of college aid, homeowners at risk of foreclosure, small businesses looking for loans and low-income families struggling to put food on the table.
ŌĆ£Unfortunately,ŌĆØ Langevin said, ŌĆ£some members are willing to unleash the serious economic damage a shutdown would cause to pursue a political agenda that has nothing to do with responsibly cutting costs. They have reneged on their offers and have consistently tried to add so-called ŌĆśpolicy ridersŌĆÖ that limit health care services and harm the environment.
Even though a deal has been reached to avert a shutdown, actual approval of the deal won't come until mid-week.
"Today Americans of different beliefs came together again," President Barack Obama said from the White House Blue Room, a setting chosen to offer a clear view of the Washington Monument over his right shoulder.
The agreement ŌĆö negotiated by the new Republican speaker of the House, John Boehner, the president and the Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid ŌĆö came as the administration was poised to shutter federal services, from national parks to tax-season help centers, and to send furlough notices to hundreds of thousands of federal workers. It was a prospect that all sides insisted they wanted to avoid but that at times seemed all but inevitable.
Shortly after midnight, White House budget director Jacob Lew issued a memo instructing the government's departments and agencies to continue their normal operations.
Boehner said the agreement came after "a lot of discussion and a long fight," and he won an ovation from his rank and file, including the new tea party adherents whose victories last November shifted control of the House to the GOP.
Reid declared the deal "historic."
The deal marked the end of a three-way clash of wills, but it also set the tone for coming confrontations over raising the government's borrowing limit, the 2012 budget and long-term deficit reduction.
At the end of the day, all sides claimed victory ŌĆö Republicans for the sheer size of the spending cuts and Obama and Reid for jettisoning Republican policy initiatives that would have blocked certain environmental regulations and made changes in a federal program that provides family planning services.
Not all policy "riders" were struck. One provision in the final deal would ban the use of federal or local government funds to pay for abortions in the District of Columbia. A program dear to Boehner that lets District of Columbia students use federally funded vouchers to attend private schools also survived.
Republicans had also included language to deny federal funding to implement the year-old health care law. The deal only requires such a proposal to be voted on by the Senate where it is certain to fall short of the required 60 votes.
The deal came together after six grueling weeks as negotiators virtually dared each other to shut the government down. Boehner faced pressure from his rank and file to hew as closely to the $61 billion in cuts and the conservative policy positions that the House had approved earlier in the year.
At one point, Democrats announced negotiators had locked into a spending cut figure ŌĆö $33 billion. But Boehner pushed back, publicly declaring there was no agreement. This week, during a meeting at the White House, Boehner said he wanted $40 billion. The final number fell just short of that.
In one dramatic moment, Obama called Boehner on Friday morning after learning that the outline of a deal they had reached with Reid in the Oval Office the night before was not reflected in the pre-dawn staff negotiations. The whole package was in peril.
According to a senior administration official, Obama told Boehner that they were the two most consequential leaders in the United States government and that if they had any hope of keeping the government open, their bargain had to be honored and could not be altered by staff. The official described the scene on condition of anonymity to reveal behind-the-scenes negotiations.
The accomplishment set the stage for even tougher confrontations. Republicans intend to pass a 2012 budget through the House next week that calls for sweeping changes in Medicare and Medicaid and would cut domestic programs deeply in an attempt to gain control over soaring deficits.
And the Treasury has told Congress it must vote to raise the debt limit by summer ŌĆö a request that Republicans hope to use to force Obama to accept long-term deficit-reduction measures.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Maine's Supreme Court has dealt a big blow to the prosecution in the case against Mark Strong. Strong has been charged in connection with the Kennebunk Zumba prostitution case. Friday, the high court upheld a lower court ruling to dismiss 46 of the 59 counts against him. Those 46 counts all had to do with alleged violations of privacy against the johns in this case.
In oral arguments Wednesday, the prosecution argued that state law protects people's privacy when they go places where they disrobe, such as bathrooms or tanning booths. Defense attorney Dan Lilley said that you have no privacy when you're committing a crime.
In its ruling, the Court agreed with Lilley, saying that the law does not protect people who visit a prostitute because society frowns on prostitution.
Supreme Court Justice Jon Levy wrote: "Places of prostitution and people who knowingly frequent them to engage a prostitute are not sanctioned by society. Accordingly, it is objectively
unreasonable for a person who knowingly enters a place of prostitution for the purpose of engaging a prostitute to expect that society recognizes a right to be safe from surveillance while inside."
The attorneys in this case are under a gag order not to speak to the press right now. But Sarah Churchill, the attorney for the alleged prostitute, Alexis Wright, says this ruling also helps her client.
Wright was facing the same 46 invasion of privacy counts and Churchill says if the state does not act, she will file a pre-trial motion to have those counts dismissed.
Churchill said, "They looked at the legislative intent and they felt that based on the legislative intent, this particular situation and the facts of this situation weren't covered."

The Rachel's Challenge program for schools is a 5-Step School Improvement process called Awaken the Learner. The foundation of this process is contained in the book, Awaken the Learner: Finding the Source of Effective Education, co-authored by Darrell Scott and Dr. Robert Marzano.
The 5-step process was developed in cooperation with Multidimensional Education of Long Beach, CA. Awaken the Learner is an evidence-driven, holistic approach to academic success that begins with strong communities and a safe, positive learning environment. Awaken the Learner inspires students, educators and parents to greatness, while also bringing current school improvement efforts into a comprehensive focus. Based on Rachel Scott's vision to create an intentional "chain reaction of kindness and compassion," this 5-step model can transform schools into safe, caring and supportive learning environments essential for academic achievement.
Supported by over 50 years of research regarding highly effective schools, Awaken the Learner motivates and awakens every learner in the educational community, including teachers, students, administrators, parents, and community members.
Preventing school violence, senseless bullying, and reducing absenteeism and dropouts are just a few of our goals. Awaken the Learner also aims to reduce the number of educators leaving the profession, and inspire and re-energize them for their profession. Likewise, we engage parents and community members with specific strategies to create schools we would all want to attend.

This too is a physics game. This too could have been designed by Rube Goldberg. And this too is good. We shot of a video of it. I explain the ins and outs of the game there. It's just a buck. You may have played games like it before (Angry Birds, even, or The Incredible Machine), but the polish alone is worth the price. And the levels are devious almost from the start. It's a good challenge Recommended.
Tip: On iPhone, which is what I played it on, it's best if you're logged in to Game Center so you load the puzzle solutions that worked for your friends. Admire their creativity. Laugh at their banality.

After President Obama announced his decision today to temporarily suspend off-shore energy exploration, U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch urged the Administration to look at abundant energy resources throughout the West and to overturn a decision by the Department of Interior to withdraw critical leases that would have allowed access to these resources on federal lands.
"Nobody questions the need to shut down and re-evaluate the specific type of drilling activity that led to this disaster. We now know that our regulators have not ensured the safety of this type of ultra deep-water oil production," said Hatch. "But I fear the President is laying the foundation for our nation's next energy crisis, higher fuel prices and a greater dependence on foreign oil. There are other domestic sources of energy that this Administration should consider to fill this void, including resources on public lands throughout the West. Given the stakes, I urge the Administration to reconsider its decision to withdraw critical energy leases and add red tape to energy production in the Mountain West, including my state of Utah that could help fuel our nation and provide much-needed jobs."
Hatch strongly opposed a decision by the Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to withdraw energy leases that had already been auctioned off and paid for to develop energy resources on federal lands. The Interior Department oversees more than 42 percent of the state of Utah, including much of the land where domestic energy production is pursued.
"The Administration's decisions to withdraw these leases and to complicate the regulatory process have been very harmful," continued Hatch. "Energy companies are leaving our federal lands in droves seeking a less hostile regulatory environment on private, state and foreign owned lands. This decision is costing my state some of the best jobs in the West, and critical revenue with the sale of these leases."
A recent survey by the Independent Petroleum Association of Mountain States (IPAMS) showed that in the absence of federal constraints, energy companies would be investing an additional $2.8 billion in the Rocky Mountain region.
"President Obama has pursued proposal after proposal to shut down our nation's best sources of domestic affordable energy. This Administration has created a hostile atmosphere for energy development on federal lands in the Intermountain West," concluded Hatch. "When the global economy begins its recovery, the United States will immediately run up against the constraints on domestic oil production that are being put into place now."

|ASU Kidnapping "Fabricated"
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 01 December 2010 10:24
Sheriff Mike Reece along with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced this morning the closing of the case of Matthew Burleson, who reported being kidnapped and shot a week ago today.
Sheriff Reece said his office and the TBI have completed investigative phase of this case, and are calling the case a fabrication. Reece said investigators have spent nearly one week processing the evidence and following leads based on initial statements made by the ASU student. However, the sheriff said physical evidence shows that the statement given to authorities by Mr. Burleson could not be true. Late yesterday afternoon, investigators of the Johnson County Sheriffs Department sat down with Mr. Burleson and presented him with the physical evidence of the case, at which time Mr. Burleson confirmed that he had made the story up.

PROVIDENCE – Police Chief Michael Kehoe of Newtown, Conn., who was a first responder when 20 children and six educators were slaughtered at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in his community last December, warned Wednesday that, "The tragedies felt by Newtown and other communities can be repeated if affirmative action is not taken."
Kehoe was the star witness at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on a raft of gun control bills, many introduced at the request of Gov. Lincoln Chafee and Attorney General Peter Kilmartin seeking to crack down on the types of weapons legally available in Rhode Island, the people who can legally possess them, and the penalties for those who possess illegal firearms or use them in the commission of a crime. There was also a bill for a comprehensive study of Rhode Island's current gun laws, rated as the eighth strongest in the nation,
Kehoe made it clear that he believes ensuring public safety demands that we surrender some measure of freedom that Americans currently enjoy.
"We have become a society of entitlements," Kehoe said. "Our laws and policies afford us an immense degree of satisfaction, privileges and freedoms many other societies do not have. However, when these freedoms are the cause of enormous pain Americans have felt over the past several years, with so many massacres, so many indiscriminate murders within our cities, that this is a time to sacrifice portions of these entitlements to change the culture of our society.
"All too often," the chief noted, "society's answer to conflict and uncertainty is to be violent. The military style weapons, general gun use in urban areas, neighborhoods disputes gone bad, various violence-related shows and games and families unable to cope and understand the complexities of raising healthy families, these factors help breed a culture of violence.
"We need to do as much as possible," Kehoe urged, "to reduce the easy access to weapons of mass murder. I believe all levels of government must strengthen the prohibition of military assault weapons that many of our citizens enjoy legally, without harm to our society. This sacrifice is necessary and warranted."
With military style weapons like the AR-15s used in the Sandy Hook killings, Kehoe said, "they are made to have the most severe amount of impact and damage to a person's body. When struck by a bullet from these weapons, the injuries to persons are severe and catastrophic, most times leading to death if struck in the major areas of the body.
"The mass murder at Newtown was officially carried out because of the AR-15 and the clips used, which held 30 rounds of .223 ammunition,: Kehoe asserted, adding that when a bullet from a gun like that enters the body, "it tumbles, causing it to fragment into two or more pieces, these fragments zig-zag throughout the body. An entrance wound in the shoulder could exit in the middle of the spine" . A typical entrance wound is the size of a pencil, while the exit wound can be the size of a fist."
Kehoe contends that "you really need to limit large capacity ammunition clips. They may serve a purpose on gun ranges but have no rational, common sense need in protecting ourselves."
The hearing on the gun control bills drew hundreds to the Statehouse on Wednesday, According to Judiciary Committee Chairwoman Edith Ajello, about 324 people had signed up to testify on one or more of the measures. People watching the proceedings on television in the overflow area on the first floor could clearly be heard cheering up in the third-floor hearing room when they agreed with something a witness said.
The bills being heard would, among other things, ban assault weapons and large capacity ammunition clips; make it illegal for minors to possess a weapon unless they are accompanied by an adult and are hunting, at a shooting range, or participating in a ceremony; ban the possession of weapons that have the serial number altered or obliterated; and to deal with people who have a record of mental health treatment and want to own a gun.
Rep. Michael Chippendale, a Republican whose district covers parts of Glocester, Foster and Coventry told the committee, that the bills under consideration "would not have prevented" an incident such as the Sandy Hook shootings. "As the chief (Kehoe) pointed out, the lunatic, Adam Lanza, did not legally possess that firearm. Although it was legally purchased, he should never have had access to it."
Chippendale said the prohibition of military style firearms "is to only directly weaken the 2nd Amendment." The intent of the 2nd amendment, he said, "was not about hunting, or plinking at the range, it was to always keep the citizenry in a position to protect themselves, their families, their state, their country from attacks or enemies foreign or domestic."
Addressing the criticism by gun control proponents that the 2nd Amendment was written at a time when muskets were the weapons of choice, Chippendale said, "Were the founders to have AR-15s, they certainly would have meant AR-15s."

The state Public Service Commission has put on hold the introduction of a new area code for Central and Northern New York.
PSC officials said the North American Numbering Plan Administrator the agency responsible for administering area codes has determined the 315 region would not need another area code until the third quarter of 2016.
Due to the potential disruption that could be created when a new area code is added, it is prudent to temporarily postpone this proceeding given that extra time now exists before a decision must be made, PSC Chairwoman Audrey Zibelman said in a news release Thursday.
The state agency initially was expecting the region to run out of assignable codes in the first quarter of 2015 at the latest.
Several public hearings were held this summer to discuss whether to split the region geographically or simply to create an overlay district and hand out area codes 315 or a new three-digit code based on availability.
Both methods have their pros and cons, but for Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties, a geographical split would force a new area code onto residents and businesses.
Residents in metropolitan Utica, however, appear to support the geographical split as it would retain the association of a region with its area code, PSC officials had said.
Also, while a geographical split would allow customers to continue dialing 7 digits without the area code for local calls, the overlay option would require all customers to dial 10 digits even for local calls.
Creating an overlay district was the action recommended by a PSC administrative law judge in 2008.
State Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, an outspoken critic of the proposed change who had called for the public hearings held earlier this year, said Thursday that she is pleased with the PSCs decision to delay the proceedings.
From small business owners concerned about a loss of customers to local people who identify themselves as 315ers, the change would have a real impact. Im pleased that the PSC listened to those who spoke out and decided to put the proposal on hold, she said in a news release.
Ms. Zibelman said the PSC should be able to restart the proceeding quickly when needed.

PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Two Woonsocket lawmakers ŌĆö Rep. Robert Phillips and Sen. Marc Cote ŌĆö want to offer a six-year tax break for businesses that come to or start up in Rhode Island and hire at least two people.
A new company, Phillips told The Call Thursday, would get a 50 percent reduction in its corporate tax for each of the first three years it is in business and a 25 percent reduction for the next three years.
To take advantage of the incentive, the company would have to apply for it with the state tax administrator within 30 days of hiring its second employee. The new employees may not be relatives of a controlling shareholder, officer or manager of the corporation. Businesses using the hiring of individuals to obtain any other tax break would be ineligible for this one, which is dubbed the Job Creation Incentive Act.
Phillips said he and Cote were ŌĆ£thinking of ways to give a shot in the arm to the state of Rhode Island and our community, the city of Woonsocket to get businesses to come back. All of a sudden it just popped up: why donŌĆÖt we give incentives to new businesses just coming in?ŌĆØ
After considering options such as lowering the unemployment tax or the income tax of the new people hired, Phillips said, ŌĆ£we tossed around a lot of ideas and we pretty much settled that this is the easiest and best way to do it.ŌĆØ
Phillips has introduced his version of the bill in the House of Representatives, but Cote said Thursday there may be some fine-tuning to the language of the legislation before he submits the measure to the Senate, likely when it returns from recess the week after next.
Cote said that, conceptually, the bill he submits will be similar to the broad outlines of PhillipsŌĆÖs version, but he has not finished nailing down the particulars.
ŌĆ£The intent is to craft legislation that would send out, basically to the business community that Rhode Island is a place where you may want to open your new business because weŌĆÖre going to give you some considerations for locating here. The main thing is job creation and if you are looking to start a new business, we are going to give you a phased-in, six year tax incentive to start your business in Rhode Island.
ŌĆ£At this point, I think it is a practical and solid initiative to encourage people to come here,ŌĆØ Cote said.
ŌĆ£The bottom line is, it doesnŌĆÖt really affect state revenues because anybody taking advantage of this initiative is going to be creating new income for the state, so its investment driven and new money for the state. We just want to get the message out that, if you are in Connecticut or nearby Massachusetts and you are looking to start a new business, take a look at Rhode Island.ŌĆØ
The way Phillips puts it, ŌĆ£Right now, we are getting 100 percent of zero, so if we get 50 percent of three companies coming in and they are $100 million companies, we earn a lot more money than we are right now.
ŌĆ£This is the year for focusing on Rhode IslandŌĆÖs fiscal recovery,ŌĆØ Phillips said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs important to remove hurdles for our local entrepreneurs so that theyŌĆÖre less afraid to take risks and open up shop or expand.ŌĆØ
Cote added: ŌĆ£It is clear from our national business rankings that people are skeptical of our ability to foster a proper environment for business growth right now. ŌĆ£We must take very thoughtful, deliberate steps toward undoing that mentality. The Senate has been working hard on plans to tackle impediments in our economy. I think this bill could help with that.ŌĆØ
Phillips said he consulted the House leadership on the bill, and ŌĆ£they said, ŌĆśPut it in and weŌĆÖll see what happens.ŌĆÖ They didnŌĆÖt give me a yea or nay so they are pretty much neutral on that.ŌĆØ

Recently Google has been busy updating its phone sales site and the latest word for Verizon Wireless customers looking to get their hands on a Nexus One is to look at the "similarly feature-packed" cousin of the Nexus One, the Incredible. One important fact that is left out of the update on their sales site is the "coming soon" tag which suggests that the Nexus One has been discontinued for Verizon Wireless customers.
In a separate blog post updating us on carrier partnerships, Google once again reiterates its mini-advertisement for the new HTC phone on Verizon while not mentioning anything about the Nexus One's future. While a true CDMA variant should still be coming on the Sprint network Google is still making it quite difficult to understand whether or not the Nexus One for Verizon has been canceled.
Update: In a recent update Google has just informed the tech website engadget that the Nexus One for the Verizon Wireless network is officially dead. Below is Google's official statement:
We won't be selling a Nexus One with Verizon, and this is a reflection of the amazing innovation happening across the open Android ecosystem. Verizon Wireless customers who want an Android phone with the power of the Nexus One can get the Droid Incredible by HTC.
This is all certainly understandable and nice to see Google finally come out and say what many have been speculating for a while. Now that we know the Nexus One is officially dead for the Verizon network customers of this cell phone network can focus their attention on the Incredible by HTC for all of their Android needs or purchase an ulocked HTC Hero to use.

|Sure, the commercials love to people energized by the mere whiff of a steaming pot of coffee -- but new research shows that those commercials may not be far off the mark. Just smelling the aroma of coffee is enough to change the activity of several genes in rats, researchers report this week in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. The affected genes appear to help the animals deal with resistance to the stresses caused by sleep deprivation. In this segment, we'll talk with one of the researchers involved with the project about the team's findings.

War, Documentary
It is fairly extraordinary that this film exists. The level of access attained by Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger over their 15-month period embedded with the Second Platoon, Battle Company, 173rd Airborne Brigade allows for an incredibly unvarnished account -- including footage of deaths both civilian and military. It's perhaps the most intimate and unflinching examination yet of the processes of modern warfare -- and an exhilarating, heartrending, profoundly moving film in its own right.

Greene to 'Clarify' Comments Today
Per Kimberley Martin of Newsday this morning.
A source close to Shonn Greene says the running back adamantly denied advocating for a quarterback change. Greene plans to clarify his statements later today.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comI saw this coming as soon as I read the quotes in the article – it's easy to read the quotes from Mike Silver and construe it as Yahoo! has, but it was also some sort of roundabout comment in support of Sanchez.
Of course today Greene's comments will be prepared, measured and will be coached up by the PR team. They'll think of a way to explain it … but no matter what's said today, Shonn Greene allowed publicly yesterday that players are thinking about 'what if' scenarios that don't involve Mark Sanchez.
UPDATE: Here's a clip from quotes Shonn Greene made to Rich Cimini last night.
I spoke to Greene late Wednesday night. This is what he said about his quote: "I said, 'We're 3-6 and something has to change.' At no time did I say we have to change quarterbacks or Tebow is terrible or any of that."
Asked to state his position on the Mark Sanchez-Tim Tebow situation, Greene told me, "It is what it is. Mark is our starting quarterback, Tebow is our backup and he does the Wildcat."

ST. ALBANS–The North Country Falcons girls basketball team battled hard, but in the end it was the BFA Comets coming out on top by the score of 47-38.
"It was a great game to be a part of," said coach Christiane Brown, "The ladies worked hard both on defense and on offense."
Noelle Pinard had a fantastic all-around game for the Falcons. She netted seven points to go along with 15 rebounds.
Said Brown, "She let the game come to her. She was dominant on the boards, and she was a pleasure to watch."
Anna Bingham had fourteen points to lead North Country. Emma Joslin, of whom the coach said is "really starting to be herself out there and is controlling the game," had nine.
It was a great bounce back effort after their previous game against St. Johnsbury.
"All teams will struggle, but we picked ourselves back up, admitted our mistakes, and moved on," Brown said.
Now the 4-6 Falcons will head to CVU on Saturday for a make-up game. Tip-off is set for 11:00 in the morning.

Police playing catch up after decomposed body found in Yakima home
YAKIMA, Wash. -- Yakima police are investigating a murder after a body was found in an abandoned home on North 4th Avenue. Investigators said the body of a woman found Wednesday had been there at least two weeks. That makes it a very hard trail to follow.
All we really know is that she was in her 20s and her body was badly decomposed. Action News spoke with neighbors who could smell there was something wrong.
"It's a nasty smell. That type of smell that you can't handle," said Neighbor Alain Moreno.
Like the lingering smell , fear lingers in this usually quiet North Yakima neighborhood.
"I'm shocked and kind of scared also," Moreno said.
Moreno never liked the eyesore next door -- boarded up windows, graffiti and trash. The home is for sale at a low price but still not very enticing.
"You have this weird feeling, but you don't know what to do because, you still live next to it. It's still right there," he said.
The woman's body was removed Wednesday after someone smelled the body, found her and called police. Now Yakima police say she was there for weeks. Special investigators are working to pin down a specific timeline.
Police say she was shot once in the head -- likely right where they found her.
Police aren't releasing the victim's name for the sake of the investigation. They said there are no suspects. All that adds to the anxiety in the neighborhood.
"It's crazy cause you would never imagine to find a a dead body in this neighborhood," Moreno said.
Action News reached out to the property owner, but he did not want to talk.

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is one of the worst pandemics the world has ever known. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the virus that causes AIDS, was first discovered in 1981 in a remote area of central Africa. It has since swept across the globe, infecting millions in a relatively short period of time. AIDS has killed more than 28 million people that we know of, with up to 3.6 million people dying in 2005 alone [Source: Avert]. While many cases go unreported, the prevalence of the disease is increasing. By comparison:
- The flu pandemic of 1918 killed approximately 20 million people worldwide.
- World War II killed approximately 40 million people.
Clearly the AIDS pandemic has had, and will continue to have, a significant and global impact.
In this article, we will show you how the HIV virus attacks the immune system and how it causes AIDS. We will also clear up some of the myths about AIDS and how HIV is transmitted.
The thought of contracting HIV is frightening. And there is good reason for that fear -- the disease is presently incurable, it has a high mortality rate, it spreads quickly and there is no vaccine to protect against it. In today's world, that combination is rare. For example, small pox is often fatal, but the disease has been completely contained through vaccinations. Tuberculosis is often fatal but can usually be cured with antibiotics if caught early.
AIDS has been able to infect and kill so many people because of its unique makeup. Let's look at some of the features that make this disease so unusual:
- HIV spreads by intimate contact with an infected person. Forms of intimate contact that can transmit AIDS include sexual activity and any sort of situation that allows blood from one person to enter another. Especially when you compare it with the many viruses that spread through the air, it would seem like the intimacy involved in the transmission of AIDS would be a limiting factor. However…
- A person can carry and transmit the HIV virus for many years before any symptoms show themselves. A person can be contagious for a decade or more before any visible signs of disease become apparent. In a decade, a promiscuous HIV carrier can potentially infect dozens of people, who each can infect dozens of people, and so on.
- HIV invades the cells of our immune system and reprograms the cells to become HIV-producing factories. Slowly, the number of immune cells in the body dwindles and AIDS develops. Once AIDS manifests, a person is susceptible to many different infections, because the immune system has been weakened so much by the HIV it can no longer fight back effectively. HIV has also shown the ability to mutate, which makes treating the virus nearly impossible.
The last feature in this list is the one that is truly unique. HIV invades and destroys the immune system -- the system that would normally protect the body from a virus. HIV corrupts and disables the system that should be guarding against HIV.
Next, we'll see how HIV can (and can't) be transmitted.

Walk-In Master Closet Makeover in White
This Master Walk-In Closet makeover was custom built in a classy white finish with shaker style drawers, dual hampers, shoe bins and brushed chrome accessories. One of the challenges in this design was to build a system that could fit not only all their existing clothing and accessories but also to make room for and maximize the space surrounding a new washer and dryer unit that was going to be installed into the closet. The result is an organized, fully functional closet with a much classier feel. Installed in Centennial, Colorado; Designed by Stacey Shank.

CROGHAN A Malone man was killed late Saturday after he lost control of his vehicle while driving his wife to the hospital for a medical emergency.
According to the Lewis County Sheriffs Office, Sam E. Demo, 57, was driving with Kathi R. Demo, 54, when their 2001 Pontiac Grand Am went off the left shoulder of Effley Falls Road at about 11:52 p.m., rolling over three times before landing in brush.
Deputies said Mr. Demo was ejected from the car during the crash, and died of his injuries at the scene. Mrs. Demo, taken to Lewis County General Hospital, Lowville, was treated for apparent minor injuries.
Aiding sheriffs deputies at the scene were the Croghan Fire Department, Croghan Ambulance and Beaver Falls Ambulance.

In addition to the Canon HS SYSTEM, the combination of the advanced CMOS sensor and DIGIC 4 Image Processor in the PowerShot D20 makes it possible to shoot crisp, clear high definition video. Imagine the fun and excitement of being able to shoot spectacular 1080p Full HD that you can later watch on your HDTV or download to your computer to share with family and friends. In addition to being able to shoot Full HD 1080p video at 24* frames per second, the PowerShot D20 can also shoot 720p HD video at 30** frames per second.
*Actual frame rate is 23.976 fps.
**Actual frame rate is 29.97 fps.
It's never been easier to shoot videos with a PowerShot digital camera. The PowerShot D20 has a dedicated movie button that lets you start and stop recording instantly. There is no need to go through layers of menus or operate switches or dials to switch to and from video recording mode. The camera is always ready to shoot stills or video whenever you want. The PowerShot D20 also incorporates an electronic wind filter, which suppresses wind noise that can muffle or distort the sound. And unlike less sophisticated point-and-shoot cameras, the PowerShot D20 lets you use the full range of optical zoom when you're shooting a video.
It's easy to enjoy and share the videos you shoot with the PowerShot D20. Simply connect its HDMI terminal to your HDTV using an HDMI cable. And because the PowerShot D20 supports HDMI-CEC technology, you'll be able to control the playback of your images and videos on any CEC-enabled HDTV using the TV's remote control. (CEC Consumer Electronic Control is part of the HDMI specification, enabling components in a system to communicate with one another.)
With the PowerShot D20, you can also shoot video in the Apple® iFrame format, which is a computer-friendly standard that speeds up importing and editing of videos. It keeps file sizes small, making it more convenient to upload or e-mail high-quality videos. The iFrame format enjoys native support in compatible Mac and Windows video applications, making it unnecessary to perform time-consuming and often quality-degrading conversions.

Our programs allow you to accelerate your learning within a dynamic, interactive environment and with peers from around the world.
- Grounded in the latest research, Columbia Business School Executive Education programs help participants think at higher levels and develop skills that are applicable immediately and drive long-term results.

- All programs are designed around experiential learning, combining real-life case studies, role plays, simulations, and personal cases to maximize learning opportunities.
- Encouraged by the atmosphere of open communication and collaboration, participants enjoy a stimulating exchange of ideas with faculty, practitioners, and peers that extends learning beyond the classroom.
We offer programs for individuals and for organizations to address executives' specific goals and needs for themselves, their teams, and their organizations.
Columbia's faculty members are thought leaders, pioneering researchers, advisers, practitioners, and communicators able to bridge theory to practice, providing the most relevant information for today's business environment.
High-caliber executives from around the world use dynamic learning environments to sharpen their skills, expand their perspectives, and generate insights with lasting impact.

Participants own rich business experience further cultivates engaging discussions for greater insight.

As with many Japanese confections that were adapted from European cuisines, the traditional recipe calls for eggs and cow's milk. I offer a vegan version using soy milk. The richer the soy milk is (higher percentage of soy solids), the better the texture will be.
YIELD: Makes 6 to 8 muffins
- 3/4 cup cake flour, about 4 ounces
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon matcha
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup soy milk, freshly extracted or purchased
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Drop of soy sauce, preferably light-colored soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional)
- 2 tablespoons drained Sweet Black Beans (optional)
Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, matcha, and powdered sugar into a bowl. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the soy milk until foamy. Add the maple syrup and soy sauce and continue to whisk and incorporate air. Add the vegetable oil if your soy milk is not especially "rich."
Resift the flour mixture. Fold it into the soy milk mixture in two or three batches, stirring gently after each addition to combine. The resulting batter should be smooth, thick, and slightly foamy. Line individual freestanding cupcake forms, or a 6-muffin tin (if it will fit in your steamer), with paper or foil liners and pour in a scant 1/4 cup of the batter. Tap down to level the batter. If you are using the black beans, place 6 or 7 beans on top of the batter in each cup (the weight of the beans will cause them to sink).
Place the filled cups in a flat-bottomed, lidded steamer fitted with a cloth-protected lid. Set the steamer over high heat. Once you hear the water boiling, adjust the heat to maintain a steady flow of steam. Steam for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins crack and split and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Always remove the lid carefully to avoid the steam burning your hand.
Transfer the muffins to a rack to cool. Keep the paper or foil liners in place until ready to eat. The muffins will keep at room temperature for up to 6 hours; to keep them soft and moist, place them in a closed container or slip them into a resealable bag. To store longer, refrigerate for up to 2 days. To rewarm before serving, place the muffins in a microwave (remove foil liners first) and zap on high for 10 seconds.

With a wild, powerful and unbridled sound, Cimarr�³n lives up to the meaning of its name, untamed. The Grammy-nominated Colombian ensemble creates a fiery kind of music called m�ºsica llanera and the fast-paced, triple-meter dance music joropo, played on harp, bandola and cuatro accompanied by bass, caj�³n and maracas. The seven-piece all-star team of instrumentalists and singers, led by harpist and composer Carlos Rojas, astonishes audiences with its melodic and rhythmic virtuosity, percussive drive and sabor colombiano, Colombian flavor.

|More Tornado Evidence in Banner Elk
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 15 May 2011 12:46
Another witness reported seeing a tornado skip through Banner Elk Friday at about 6. Jennifer Willis, who works at the Banner Elk Post Office, said "My boss and myself were leaving the Post Office Friday when we saw a tornado funnel come down in the back parking lot of Stonewalls.
The funnel wasn't there long enough to take a picture of it. But, I was able to get pictures of some damage it did to a privacy fence at the restaurant." Police reported seeing a funnel as power lines were taken down along with trees in the downtown area.
