Indicted deputy resigns; charged in
|(DESOTO COUNTY, Miss.) -- Citing "personal reasons," a DeSoto County Sheriff's Deputy resigned Thursday, the same day he was indicted by a Shelby County grand jury for an alleged payroll padding scheme while working for the Memphis Police Department.
James Stepp, who faces charges of theft over $10,000 but less than $60, 000 in Shelby County, was hired by the DeSoto County department on Sept. 5, according to Commander Jim Dunn, director of personnel and internal affairs for the DeSoto County Sheriff's Department.
If convicted, Stepp could face a possible prison sentence of 3 to 6 years.
"He resigned Thursday morning citing personal reasons," Dunn said.
At the time of his resignation, Dunn said the department was not aware of the indictment. "We learned about it when it broke on the news (Thursday)."
Dunn said he could not comment on Stepp's performance during his short stint with the DeSoto County Sheriff's Department.
"I am not at liberty to answer any other questions," Dunn told the DeSoto Appeal.
The indictment alleges that Stepp added overtime, either cash or compensatory time, to his paycheck.
Stepp was one of six MPD officers indicted on felony theft charges.
All six of those charged Thursday surrendered to authorities and were released on $1,000 bonds.
Others charged as a result of the indictment were Maj. Sidney Johnson, 50, a 26-year veteran, Lt. Charles Newell, 44, a 21-year veteran, payroll officers Paul Elrod, Alfreda Banks-Williams and Mona Ingram-Griffin.
The indictments are part of an ongoing investigation and follow grand jury action against two other MPD officers.
On Oct. 31, two officers, Roosevelt Twilley and Rodney Askew, were indicted on official misconduct charges for allegedly pocketing more than $400 in department funds intended to pay their expenses at a professional conference in Meridian, Miss.

I am aware it is difficult to critique young horses, however I'd like to see how she's come along as I'm a bit biased. I've gotten some odd feedback when I posted pics of her on another forum. I know she has more to grow but want to make sure she's growing properly and all that as she's my first baby. So if you could help me and teach me some more about conformation that would be good. As far as I can tell she is really butt high, she always has been, but she seems to be evening out a little now, she also seems to have a bit of a hay belly and I plan on working on that.
This is when I first met her, I posted this pic on another forum and they said she was club footed in all four and she looked as if she had swelling or epiphysitis in the fetlock of the back right (foot with white sock) also the same butt high thing, and she has steep pasterns, hoof angle is greater than it should be and she was wearing down the toe, and had more heel, Vet came out and gave her a clean bill of health. Saw nothing wrong at all with her. She's 3 months here
This is 5 Months old:
About 9-10 months, she's kinda on a hill here, but its the squarest I have of her at this age:
11 months, these were taken just last week, I unfortunately couldn't take them myself as I was busy with her but my photographer did a decent job for not knowing exactly what I wanted:
So has she gotten better, worse? I know her feet need a trim, but I thinks she's gotten a little bit better, what annoys me the most is that she's so butt high. She had a corrective trimming on the foot with the sock as it was not growing straight, it since has straightened out. Also the "swelling" the others saw I believe is just and illusion from white sock, in contrast to her other three legs.

BUENA VISTA — The memories of the 2011 loss to Lower Cape May have been haunting Robert Bunton for a year.
The senior running back for the Buena Regional High School football team was part of a loss to the Caper Tigers he thought never should have happened. He more than made up for that performance Friday night.
Bunton rushed for 193 yards on just six carries and scored four times as the Chiefs disposed of Lower Cape May 34-6 at John J. Zucal Athletic Complex in the teams first home game of the year. Buena moved to 3-0, surpassing last years win total for the season.
First home game, I just wanted to come out with a bang, and we did, Bunton said.
A year ago, Buena lost to the Caper Tigers 35-13 in a game coach Jonathan Caputo said was the Chiefs worst of the season.
I just remembered last year, Bunton said. Coach put on the board the score from last year. We didnt play our best.
This time, Bunton did play his best against Lower Cape May (0-3).
Buntons first touchdown came on a 30-yard pass from quarterback Eric Rainear in the first quarter that made the game 6-0. He was completely uncovered deep, and Bunton waltzed into the end zone for his first receiving touchdown of the year. Earlier in the drive, he made a sliding catch on third and long to allow Buena to keep the ball.
He then scored on the next two drives with runs of 54 and 63 yards. Then on a second-and-24 with 3:09 left in the half, he scampered 44 yards to paydirt.
For good measure, he added a 75-yard kickoff return to the Caper Tigers 15-yard line to open the second half, giving him well over 300 all-purpose yards on the night.
Its just good to see, Caputo said. The kid does all the little things for us. He blocks, and he hasnt had the carries in the first couple games. But he never said boo, and just kept working.
There wasnt anything specific on tape the Chiefs thought Bunton would be able to exploit, but once the game got going, Caputo knew Bunton could be in for something special.
He had a little pep in his step, Caputo said. When youve got it going, you ride the horse.
Bunton himself said he was surprised.
Its totally unexpected, but it felt good, it felt really good, Bunton said.
Buenas final score of the night was a one-yard touchdown run by Rainear in the third quarter. Rainear was 2-for-4 passing, completing both of his passes to Bunton for 54 yards. Junior running back Love Scott played his first full game of the year and gained 48 yards on nine carries.
Defensively, Buena had perhaps its best performance of the year. The Chiefs had a fumble recovery from sophomore linebacker Neal Nelson and junior cornerback David Bond picked off Lower Cape Mays Frank Zeigler once as the team held the Caper Tigers to just 188 yards of offense.
Last year, Zeigler alone rushed for 171 yards, which is an example of just how far this Chiefs squad has come.
We prepared real well; we were watching film a lot, too, senior linebacker Dustin Endicott said. We were really prepared defensively.
Lower Cape Mays only touchdown came on a 40-yard run in the second quarter by running back Jackson Sole, who broke a few tackles on to the way to the end zone. That made the score 21-6, but the Caper Tigers never threatened. The only other time they came close to chipping away at the lead was in the third quarter on a drive that ended with a fumble recovery by Nelson on the Chiefs 1-yard line.
Buena is now just one win away from ensuring a .500 record and eligibility to qualify for the playoffs. A possible postseason berth has been high in the minds of players.
Its a goal that we just keep in our head and I think that drives us to play our best, Bunton said.
Caputo, on the other hand, said hes focusing on Cedar Creek, which comes to Buena next Friday night. Lets not put the cart before the horse, he said.
In Cedar Creek, the Chiefs will face their toughest test of the season. The Pirates are led by quarterback Damon Mitchell, who is committed to play for Georgia Tech next year.
I still think were pretty confident, Endicott said.

Harlem Shake Away (And Stay There)
February 22, 2013 No comments yet
So, I'm assuming y'all have seen this harlem shake bid'ness hurling around the web over the last few weeks yeah? If not, it's not hard to understand – the premise, one particular liberated individual begins to violently throw some Grade A dance moves (usually a good strong hip thrust) in an environment one would not usually see dancemoves (e.g. a classroom, a shop, a bus stop, you name it) then the next scene features all parties donning ridiculous costumes and joining in with this hilarious hijink – all to the tune of Baauer's tune Harlem Shake. Something like this..simples:
And so, last week it was all over the internet, some efforts being of quite gargantuan proportions (and some just being quite homoerotic)…
And then, like many other internet trends, it had reached it's twilight years and was ready to lie down and die like the old dog it is.
But No. We couldn't drop it could we. It would seem the Harlem Shake has found a new home – British Universities.
Yes the world's most educated, culturally diverse and seemingly idiotic members of society have taken to Harlem Shaking their worries away… this particularly dire effort was from my very own uni…
Some are better than others (this one is from Northumbria University – kudos for the V for Vendetta reference)
And some just seem to ridicule the pompous nature of british universities like only our most under-stimulated, over-indulged, trust fund brats can…
So when will this trend end? Will there be a second coming? maybe the start of March will herald a new age in Harlem Shaking, there'll be a Harlem Shake on the moon next!
And as for Harlem itself? Well, check this out, it speaks for itself…
magic (although some people take it a tad too seriously..)

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
"A lot has happened since we were teammates 45 years ago and you were my 'best man' at my wedding. I purchased the first $100,000 life insurance policy you ever sold. . . . You came to me on this deal because you again needed help, and I have raised $1,150,000 for your new project," Gary wrote. "I have always been there for you. Please do what is right and honor our agreement."
The next month, the Robins were still pleading—in writing—for the return of their money.
"What in the world is going on? Your investors are calling me day and night because you refuse to return their calls, and no one including me knows what is happening," he wrote. "No one just hands over almost one and a quarter million dollars for the company to gamble with. We have a right to know where and how the money is being spent—to know for sure the money is not being used to pay old creditors . . . or Jo Ellen's political campaign. . . . These questions I am asked daily and cannot honestly answer to my wife or my friends. Please take care of these things so I, at least, will not be so embarrassed that I start avoiding the phone."
Three months later, the Robins were disillusioned.
"The possibility that we could lose our funds—funds that represent a lifetime of work—is horrifying. Whatever reason you have for stringing me along for the past seven months cannot be allowed to happen," Robin wrote on Oct. 27, 1997. "I am truly sorry you have pushed our friendship to its limits by not honoring your word."
The Robins hired an attorney and eventually became one of the few lucky ones: Eddie paid them back—using other investors' money. Nevertheless, the Robins are no longer friends with the Allens.
Lee Pickett, 81, of Port Ludlow, Washington, was not as fortunate as the Robins, her next-door neighbors. The Robins introduced Lee and her disabled husband, John, to Eddie and Jo Ellen. After selling himself as part of a dynamic, conservative, Republican power couple whose lives were dedicated to Christianity, Eddie enticed the Picketts into loaning him $553,000 in 1996. To do that, the Picketts liquidated another investment then earning them $7,000 per month.
"He sold himself as a good Republican, a military hero, a good family man," remembers Lee Pickett. "And he always acted very concerned about my husband. He had me believing that he wanted to be friends of ours and help us. He promised us we would make a killing off him. We didn't know it then, but it was all an illusion."
Like other examples outlined in federal court records, friendship was fleeting once Eddie got control of the Picketts' money. He wrote them terse notes, Lee says, rarely answered their phone calls and made "lots of excuses" for delays in paying when the money was due. The Picketts' financial situation became perilous.
"I have asked you to help us in the name of friendship, and the fact that we came through for you when you needed us, but your responses have been cavalier, cool, evasive and vague," Lee Pickett wrote Eddie in 1999, just before they had to file for bankruptcy to keep their home.
The Picketts never saw their money again. The next year, Lee was still pleading for their money.
"I am disappointed, disgusted and disturbed over our business experience and contact with you," wrote Pickett.
"It's been a tremendous struggle for us," Pickett told the Weekly. "What Eddie did to us is so despicable. We are the victims. He has to be stopped from doing this to anyone else."
She also says Eddie has a not-so-silent, if unofficial, business partner: his wife of 25 years, Jo Ellen.
"Jo Ellen is definitely part of promoting Eddie. She vouched for his businesses. She gave us the sense that everything would be all right," said Lee, who has kept detailed notes of her conversations with both Eddie and Jo Ellen.
"You would have to be a dumbbell to live with a man like that for those many years and not know what he's up to," she said. "And Jo Ellen is no dumbbell."
Next: Where's law enforcement?

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Both the injury bug and the flu bug have
nipped Kentucky's health over the last week.
Coach Rich Brooks says running back Tony Dixon will be available
on a limited basis for Saturday's game against Arkansas (3-3, 1-2
Southeastern Conference) with a sore ankle, while linebacker Micah
Johnson is still not 100 percent with a nagging ankle injury. Tight
end Maurice Grinter will also be used on a limited basis.
Brooks said the flu is going through the team, with freshman
wide receiver Taiedo Smith currently out indefinitely because of
it. Brooks added that everyday somebody new is coming up with
It is still undetermined who will replace Dixon in goalline

The PPV opened with a graphic remembering "The Macho Man" Randy Savage.
The opening video aired, highlighting the two world title matches.
R-Truth's catchphrase, with no music, hits and we're off.
Rey Mysterio vs. R-Truth
Truth cut a promo on the crowd saying they should be booing themselves, not him. He then said "it's all about parking spots" and he didn't have one when he arrived to the arena. He said he had to park with the rest of the fans, and he deserves a whole lot better, and that it might work for the "stank filled hippies" in Seattle. He said it's a conspiracy, he's danced for all the "little Jimmy's" and it got him nowhere. He said that he doesn't play games, but Rey Mysterio does. He then said he's going to take Mysterio's spot, and anyone's spot that he wants.
Mysterio took the early advantage and managed to get Truth outside of the ring, where Mysterio followed with a flying hurricarana from the ring apron. Truth took the advantage back in the ring.
Truth stayed in control of the match, getting several two-counts. Mysterio regained the advantage after Truth climbed to the top rope, but was nailed with a giant bulldog from the top rope for a two count. Mysterio followed up with a splash for a two count, and a kick for another one. Mysterio tried to fly off the ropes, but was met with a corkscrew elbow from Truth. Truth got a two count.
After a series of reversals, Mysterio got Truth in position for the 619, but Truth slid out of the ring. Mysterio started to follow up, but Truth dropped Mysterio face first on the ring apron. Truth then clotheslined Mysterio on the ring floor. Truth got Mysterio back in the ring, hit the downward spriral and pinned Mysterio clean. Decent opener.
R-Truth pinned Rey Mysterio.
After the match, Truth got a bottle of water, drank a bit and then smashed it in Mysterio's face.
Todd Grisham interviewed the Miz backstage and asked him what he meant about saying that he had a way to beat Cena that no one has ever thought of. Miz said he'll let people know when he wants them to, and said that while Cena may have won other "I Quit" matches, he's smarter than the people that Cena faced in those matches. He said that he's always been underrated and he'll prove everyone wrong tonight. He said he had a game plan, and he's going to implement it tonight. He said Cena will say "I Quit" while he'll say "I'm the Miz..." Alex Riley cut him off, took the mic and said "... and I'm the new WWE Champion." End of interview.

SOCIAL CIRCLE - The City Council approved a liquor-by-the-drink ordinance Tuesday night, making it possible for city restaurants to begin serving mixed drinks as soon as they meet the requirements set forth in the ordinance.City Attorney Joe Reitman, who crafted the ordinance based on codes already in effect in Madison and Conyers, described the ordinance as "prudent" and "conservative." Under the new ordinance, restaurants that serve mixed drinks will be required to prove that at least 60 percent of their revenue is derived from food sales. Reitman said the food sales requirement ensures that Social Circle will attract "no nightclubs, no bars and no juke joints." In addition, restaurant owners/operators must undergo a background check, pay a $2,500 license fee, and post a $2,500 performance bond. Servers will also be required to have a license, which will cost $20, and take an alcohol training class. Reitman said the alcohol classes emphasize the responsibility involved in serving alcohol and the importance of not serving to minors. License-holders will be required to reapply in December of each year. Sunday sales are not allowed under the ordinance. Serving hours will be 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. until midnight on Friday and Saturday. Establishments that sell alcohol must be located at least 100 yards from a church or school. The ordinance was approved 2-1, with Councilwomen Anne Peppers and Traysa Cody-Price in favor and Angela Porter opposed. The ordinance became effective upon passage by the council. Mayor Jim Burgess said earlier that mixed drink sales are viewed as a key to drawing restaurants and other economic development to the town. City residents approved liquor-by-the-drink sales in a March 17 referendum that passed 180-104.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — The heat is taking its toll on Air Force Academy cadets going through basic training exercises.
The Gazette reports seven cadets had heat exhaustion Tuesday during training in Jacks Valley at the academy. Academy spokesman John Van Winkle says all seven are expected to recover.
Van Winkle says cadets are required to drink large quantities of water through the day and are given breaks. Medics also are on hand. Yet heat exhaustion can still be a problem during basic training.
The Gazette reports the freshman class began with 1,190 cadets, and 1,161 were left as of Tuesday after some dropped out.

Throughout the Christmas festivities, Ghanaians missed out the Ruff n Smooth performances in Ghana.
The duo who has performed in almost all the continents of the world excluding America applied through the American Embassy for visa to give the American residents Ruff n Smooth dosage.
Dubbed 'American Dream Tour', they started with a warm up performance at Planet Africa Awards in Canada on 27th October, 2012.
Ahkan and Bullet who together make up Ruff n Smooth attracted the attention of all those present, ushering people into extreme hypnosis with their amazing songs and performances. Cardinal Official therefore endorsed them as the light of world music.
With State-to-State performances, Ruff n Smooth began the tour in America in Florida where the attendance was incredible.
"Honestly we were expecting Ghanaian populated crowd but the records showed that, other Nationals were more than Ghanaians" Bullet said. Adding to it, Ahkan mentioned that, "the number of whites who sung along when we were performing was amazing. I was so shocked how far our songs travel" Florida greased the tour with a great start.
Starten Island in New York, Worcester, Ohio, Montana and Washington DC (Maryland)followed suit on the tour schedule. Throughout these States, there was mixed race attendance as identifying which race was more than the other, with skin colour was a migraine.
On a safe return back to Ghana, Ruff n Smooth is set to release a single song 'Dance for me' as a welcome gift to Ghanaians. The song 'Dance for me' will therefore be launched at Club Invasion on 2nd March this year at 10pm.
As a complement, 'Dance for me' will be released together with its video which was directed by 1st class Canadian Production House, Jude Braimoah Films.
The event which will be hosted by Mc Coaches and Mc Comotion will be a night of prestige and class as Ruff n Smooth performs back to back from 'Swagger' 'Azingele' 'Sex Machine' 'Naija Baby' and the latest 'Dance for me'.
With confirmation from colleagues in the industry, there will be scads of Music, Movie, Radio and TV stars gracing the occasion. "Ruff n Smooth is re-branding this year and fans are to watch out for a world class and unbeatable brand" management of Ruff n Smooth added.

About Us
Patient Participation refers to patients taking an active interest in their health care. At present, Our priorities are developed and agreed locally in order to meet local needs and to reflect the interests and energies of the participants.
Recent changes within the NHS are intended to deliver a more patient-centred service. As a result, there have been ongoing changes to the structures of formal, statutory public engagement. In England, for example, this has seen the demise of Community Health Councils, to be replaced by PPI Forums which, in turn have been superceded by Local Involvement Networks.
Patient Participation Groups have not been directly affected by these changes. This is because PPGs are not legally required but have developed on the basis of trust and goodwill from practices and patients alike.
We are affiliated to N.A.P.P. National Association for Patient Participation their research carried out by the NHS Information Centre revealed that 40% of English practices now have a PPG. We are autonomous our activities may include:
- Strategic advice
- Health promotion
- Information provision
- Volunteer services
- Fundraising
If you would like to become involved please use the contact box below.
Our Aims
The list below summarises some of the activities in which we or may become engaged to be of most benefit to their own communities, patients and practice. Helping the practice to improve services
- Providing feedback from patients, eg on appointment systems,consultation times and repeat prescription systems.
- Monitoring the accessibility of practice communications, eg developing the practice booklet and leaflets and designing the website.
- Carrying out surveys into a whole variety of subjects, eg measuring patient satisfaction, health needs, awareness and expectations.
- Offering practical help, eg flu clinics making sure that the patients are comfortable.
- Improving practice facilities, eg new toys for the waiting room, or maintaining plants and gardens.
- Helping to obtain the patient view, eg for planning permission for a new-build project for practice premises.

In 2002 the new Thomas H. Eliot House was constructed on the South 40. Known first as "University House," in 2005 the Eliot name was transferred to this new residence house, which replaced the older highrise that had carried the name since 1964.
Thomas H. Eliot graduated from Harvard Law School, served a term in the U.S. House of Representatives, practiced law in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and taught in the Harvard Law School. He came to the University in 1952 as chair of the Political Science Department, in which he later taught, as well as in the School of Law, and he is a distant relative of William Greenleaf Eliot, the University's founder.
Thomas H. Eliot
He served as the University's 12th Chancellor from 1962 to 1971, and held administrative posts in the U.S. Departments of Labor, the Social Security Board, and the Interior. He assisted the U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain, was a member of the House of Representatives in the 77th Congress, and served as director of the Massachusetts "Little Hoover" commission on reorganization of the state government. He was also named to the Charles Nagel Professorship of Constitutional Law and Political Science in 1958, and authored the well-respected book Governing America: The Politics of a Free People.

Colored Pencil: I use Strathmore bristol 500 series paper for images I do on white paper. Usually 4 ply. Thicker feels more expensive. I feel like I have to do a better job of it on 4 ply. Most of my portraits are done on black acid free 100% rag Arches Cover paper. I like this paper. Colors show bright on the surface. The pencils I use are Prismacolors.
My oils are done in Atisan water soluable paints. Currently developing a grisaille/glazing technique.
What else. I got an Epson Pro 4000 for my printing. I like it but it's pricey.
My Micotek largebed scanner sucks. Don't use it - wish I never bought it.

The photos in this book highlight "The Land." Owned by the Peterson family and used mainly for hunting, "The Land" is a magical place in northern Wisconsin comprised of 50 acres, the Flambeau River and a waterproof shack. Oh yes, and there's an outhouse. No running water, however, except for the river.
Nestled within the Flambeau State Forest, "The Land" is accessible for by foot, canoe, or a sturdy car able to withstand poorly maintained gravel roads notable for the large rocks that appear after every rainfall.

Top marks no longer matter and it's all about how you finish this week as Louisiana Tech's track and field programs head to the 2013 Western Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships at Maverick Stadium on the UT Arlington campus.
Athletes spend most of the season trying to hit a top mark to qualify for the NCAA East Preliminary Championships, but the goal this week is to win a gold medal and help the team win a conference championship.
The meet, which runs from Wednesday through Saturday, will only be the third WAC outdoor meet in the central time zone since 2005, when the Lady Techsters went on a run of winning seven consecutive outdoor crowns. Tech's first event at the championship meet will be on Friday.
The women's team, which finished third in last year's meet in Moscow, Idaho, is projected to finish third again as well this year while the men are projected to place fifth.
As they have all season, Kim Francis and Trey Hadnot will lead the women's and men's programs, respectively, with gold medals and championship trophies at stake.
Francis leads the field in the 100 meter hurdles with a wind-aided time of 13.14 and a non-wind-aided time of 13.18.
The Lafayette native is ranked first in the conference and 12th in the nation in the hurdles event. She is also ranked sixth in the league in the 100 meter dash, an event a Lady Techster has won every year since 2005.
She also is on the 4x100 meter relay team that leads the conference with a time of 45.30. The Lady Techsters have claimed gold in the 4x100m relay every year at the WAC Championships since 2003.
Charla Craddock is only a half-inch away from the league leader in the long jump with a mark of 19-feet 11 inches (6.07 meters).
Craddock is also ranked fourth in the 200 meter with a 23.77, but that is a mark she ran in the first outdoor meet of the season.
On the men's side, Trey Hadnot leads the league in the 200 meter with a time of 20.78, which ranks 28th in the nation.
The Ruston native also runs in the 4x100 meter relay that leads the league with a time of 39.93 and also runs on the 4x400 meter relay that enters the championship meet ranked third with a time of 3:13.93.
The Bulldogs also have the best middle distance runners the team has had in several years with Paul Sakit leading the way.
Sakit leads the league in the 1,500 meter with a 3:47.36.

woodley comes in heavy and starts out the season so slow. hes a phenom in the playoffs (2 sacks a game career i think), but hes not great in coverage, good enough for his size (pushin 275) but harrison is good in coverage, can bump into the middle, puts up better sack numbers despite getting held on every play and forces so many fumbles...not to mention hes the hands down best run defending 34 olb ive ever seen.
hes just more well rounded as a LB than woodley
I voted Suggs here, and will vote Woodley for the next one.
Suggs is the all around better "linebacker" but Woodley blows him away as just pure pass rusher. Harrison is a solid mix of both but I'll take the two younger, faster and more athletic guys over him.
Suggs and Woodley.
With that said, I'm going with Woodley.
well i was kind of just messing with him, but his "leadership" is overrated when your a 35 year old MLB, other players grow into leadership roles. i agree that if we are building a team for the future, woodley and suggs should hands down get the nod over harrison, but that means lewis will have no business on the team either
Ray Lewis leadership is not overrated. He does so much for our team. I'm going Suggs and Woodley
Plus, Woodley and Suggs have a whole lot more experience than Rey and Timmons.
Ray Lewis is way better than any MLB in our division. You can't compare what he does to anything any other LB does. IMO
James harrison right at this moment.
Is this for years to come or just to make the best team right now. If it's the best team as of now Ray Lewis takes it over everyone.
I will take Terrell Suggs... he's far and away the most complete outside linebacker and gives a defense schematic versatility. I also think he'd put up better numbers if he had Woodley opposite him as opposed to a still good, but not as good Jarrett Johnson.
Also, someone let me know when Maualuga does something because I haven't seen it.
Bart Scott
David Harris
Karlos Dansby
Jerod Mayo
he was clearly on a decline and then they drafted ngata and ngata made everyone better...im not saying he wasnt great and that he still doent play at a pretty high level for his age but in the now if were building a team hes a big name more than he is a critical part of the team. best current in the AFC? i doubt that. its not for my disdain for the ravens or ray lewis in general.
prsonally if this were an all AFC type deal id gladly take mayo or dansby over ray at this point in his career.
anyway thats not my point, im certain that ray will win MLB for the division based on name like a pro bowl....but my argument was taking suggs or woodley over harrison when harrison is probably the 2nd best 34 OLB in the league behind ware despite being on the wrong side of 30 as well. its not a big deal, i think woodley and suggs are great players but i just think some are gonna use the youth argument here and not when MLB comes up, i guess thats just how it goes though
It is silly to use the age argument IMO, it is for this year only. That means Harrison and Ray should be on the team no question.
If it was for this year, I think Hines would have made the team. It's for now and a few years down the road. I don't know if I have said that in the original poll. If not, I apologize. The team is how I would have envisioned it, though.
Give him some more time under Zimmer to develop. He's got a lot going for him, even if he didn't throw it all together in his rookie season.
Just a heads up, I'll be gone this weekend, so I won't put up the other OLB untill Sunday night/Monday.

Many couples consider including Kay Palomino, your
in their labor & delivery plans as a labor support coach. Couples are even able to contact Kay to discuss the possibility of false labor symptoms so unnecessary trips to the hospital are avoided.
What happens to the father (e.g., the coach, support persons) when Kay is present? The father is free to assume whatever role is most comfortable for him. He can be a passive observer or an active participant. Men often have very deep concerns for their wife's safety in labor. Kay may need to support the coach or if needed, she may model supportive behaviors for him and the father is relieved of the responsibility for primary labor support, a role that is often uncomfortable for many men. Mother, in turn, is also relieved of any concerns she may have for his well-being, leaving her to concentrate solely on her labor.
Kay will discuss the pros and cons of pain medications and other medical procedures typically performed during labor and delivery. The support person will keep (them) aware of what might happen in an emergency situation or an unplanned cesarean. In many cases being able to avoid having a ceasarean section. The labor support person does not speak on behalf of or in-place of (them) but rather, reminds (them) of her desires and her ability to make good choices. Patients who are prepared are more in control and able to process information from the nurses and doctors easier.
Each pregnancy and birth is unique and so the fees will vary. The amount of time she spends with you will play a predominate role with any fees. This is an individualized service so you will contact her directly to discuss, in detail, this option.
Having a labor support coach is a great way to help keep you focused and keep you comfortable during this wonderful time! The mother and father who are able to sit back and smile at the memories of their childbirth experience are invaluable.

Butch McCartney/Wausau Daily Herald Wausau's west side featuring the Aspirus Wausau Hospital.
- Filed Under
EDITOR: I'd like to offer a thank you to Aspirus Wausau Hospital, friends and family.
Just before Christmas, I had a heart attack. Because of complications, I had a near-death experience. I had two stents put in and a pacemaker. I had two major surgeries in seven days. The leads came off the pacemaker and pierced my heart and lung. They then performed open heart surgery to correct that problem. In choosing Aspirus Wausau Hospital and the Heart Specialists, I want to say that I had the best and most compassionate care one could ask for. The doctors and nurses did an excellent job. I want to thank them and the support of my friends and family for keeping me alive.
I want to thank the Lord for giving me a second chance. I am improving daily and am alive! I must add that I have a wonderful caregiver, Roger. If not for him, I would not be in my home today. Life is short - count your blessings.

Katrina Kaif is God in 'Hello'
31st Aug 2008 22.00 IST
By Agencies
The beautiful Katrina Kaif will be seen donning the role of 'God' in actor turned director Atull Agnihotri 's forthcoming movie Hello .
'Hello', that has Salman Khan making a guest appearance, stars Sohail Khan , Sharman Joshi , Isha Koppikar , Gul Panag , Amrita Arora and Arbaaz Khan in principal roles.
The film is an adaptation of author Chetan Bhagat's lauded novel 'One Night at a Call Centre'.
Reports are that Katrina will portray a modern day woman who meets Salman at a lounge and narrates to him the story of a group of call centre employees who find their life changing forever after they get a call from God.
During the later half of the flick it is revealed that God is none other than Katrina herself and she was pretending all this while.
Reports add that Katrina is quite kicked-up with the whole idea as she considers this role to be a welcome change after portraying out and out glamorous characters in the films she has done so far, the most recent being Singh Is Kinng .

Keystone Cops Logic
In the latest war of words between Iran and the United States, Tehran has drawn a line in the sand (actually, the Persian Gulf). According to Maj. Gen. Ataollah Salehi, the commander in chief of the Iranian army, "We recommend to the American warship that passed through the Strait of Hormuz and went to the Gulf of Oman not to return to the Persian Gulf." This comes hot on the heels of the Iranians test-firing a new radar-evading missile and threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz.
So what's all the aggressive huffing and puffing about?
Well, the United States is imposing economic sanctions on Iran, which the Iranians aren't taking kindly to. (More about why the U.S. is imposing sanctions later.) Of course, the U.S. takes the position that imposing such sanctions is perfectly justified (I mean, what else is a superpower to do when another country doesn't do exactly what we want it to do?). But according to Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman, if the Iranians reacted to sanctions by attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz (cutting off the flow of oil from the Persian Gulf, which is roughly equivalent to imposing economic sanctions on the United States and other oil-dependent countries), doing so would be "an act of war." This, of course, after the U.S. has already engaged in an analogous action that apparently isn't considered an act of war (except to Ron Paul).
Of course, that makes about as much sense as what the hullabaloo is about to begin with.
It seems that the United States doesn't like the idea of the mullahs in Tehran and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad getting their hands on a nuclear weapon. Iran has an active nuclear program — it recently produced their first nuclear fuel rod — which the Iranians claim is for peaceful purposes, but the U.S. doesn't believe that. At the heart of U.S. disbelief are centrifuges that can be used to enrich uranium to weapons grade. But there isn't anything in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treat (NPT) — to which Iran is a signatory — that prohibits a country from enriching uranium.
Moreover, the foundation of the NPT is a false promise. Essentially, non-nuclear-weapons states (such as Iran) agree not to develop nuclear weapons (Article II) in exchange for nuclear-weapons states (such as the U.S.) agreeing to eventually (with no specific deadline) divest themselves of their nuclear weapons (Article VI). Apparently, the Iranians believe this about as much as that there is a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.
But why would the Iranians want nukes anyway?
It couldn't be that neighboring Israel has nuclear weapons (not that the Israelis are admitting that they do). And it certainly couldn't be because U.S.-imposed regime change via military force (most recently right next door to Iran in Iraq) seems to happen to countries that don't have nuclear weapons, e.g., notice that regime change in North Korea is happening because Kim Jong-Il died of natural causes. Not that either of these could be considered legitimate concerns, from Iran's perspective.
And if the Iranians got nukes, that would be the end of the world because they would most certainly use them. After all, Ahmadinejad supposedly threatened to wipe Israel off the map. This assumes, of course, that the Iranians are suicidal. It is hard to imagine that the Israelis would sit idly by and not retaliate with their nuclear arsenal (which is likely enough to wipe Iran off the map). Ditto for any concerns about Iran lobbing a nuke at the United States (with an even larger and more capable nuclear arsenal that could wipe Iran off the map several times over — not to mention the minor detail that the Iranians don't have a delivery platform capable of reaching the United States).
But Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism, so wouldn't they give nukes to terrorists?
This, of course, was a central tenet of the Bush administration's rationale for invading Iraq to depose Saddam Hussein in the wake of 9/11. But the reality is that there is no history of any country with dreaded weapons of mass destruction giving them away to terrorists. Indeed, Saddam Hussein was known to have both chemical and biological weapons and he supported terrorists — but he never gave those weapons to terrorists. It is also hard to fathom why the regime in Tehran would spend billions of dollars (perhaps tens of billions of dollars) in pursuit of nuclear weapons technology only to give it away to terrorists (the Bushehr reactor complex is estimated to have cost $4-6 billion, and the Iranians are believed to be constructing three to five more nuclear facilities at an estimated cost of $3.2 billion).
So strip away the veneer of threats and posturing, and the underpinning logic is anything but logical. Unfortunately, this passes for and seems to be accepted as sound foreign policy.

The U.S. needs WW lll, so they are going to create it.
They know a popular uprising (Occupy) that gathers too much support, will mean "Marshall Law" in America.
There goes the 'Land of the Free", and the rest of the World with it. No more illusions.
Logic? In Washington? I think I saw some Washington logic in a special display at the Smithsonian, right around the corner from the Trilobites and other long-gone species.
Excellent point about sanctions equaling a blockade of Iran with the blocking of the Strait merely being the same in reverse. It seems the West, mainly with the military forces of the U.S. and Israel, is determined that any challenmge to the system of total hegemony over the mideast (and the world) that Cheney and Wolfowitz declared in the 1992 draft Defense Policy Guidance will be crushed, by soft power or hard (totalitarianism). While It only worked for the Soviets in Europe until 1989, as American Exceptionalists with our strong economy and intellectual power, there's no reason we can't make it permanent, is there?.
[…] Charles Pena: Keystone Cops Logic […]
Let's not forget that, unlike the Persian Gulf, there are no International waters in the Strait of Hormuz. At its narrowest of 25 miles, it is composed of the territorial waters of Iran and Oman, split fairly evenly down the middle. To say a country, in this case Iran, doesn't have the right to close off its own territorial waters is saying that Iran (or China, for example) has the right to sail its warships in US territorial waters. Of course, that leaves Oman holding the bag, so to speak.
As for the current threats of Iran to close the straits of Hormuz, the US has in the past waged war on countries that have caused economic hardship to US companies, remember the Fruit Wars of Central America.
Iran isnt Iraq or Afghanistan there will be casualties to US aircraft and shipping maybe even a carrier. If Iran is attacked it will not be a cake walk, and the US will suffer embarrassing casualties, Possibly a Nuclear Carrier maybe a second. The US has in the recent past admitted the Iranians have weapons they have NO countermeasures for. Lets see Crazy zealot Muslims ready to die for their Country NOT UNLIKE the Japanese of WWII in A Russian Diesel Submarine armed with Torpedoes capable of 200 Knots silently sitting on the bottom waitng for a Carrier to pass, Surface and they have done it embarrassingly enough before inside the Carrier escort screen! and fire at point blank range with 200 Knot Torpedoes,
Officially there are 9 nations that have nuclear weapons. In actuallity there are 24 that have them. Strangely enough Iran is not one of them, although if the Shah had stayed in power a few more years they would have had them with the help of the CIA-Defense Dept.
Getting used to stupid comments is my limit…. Stupid wars are a step too far………….
So Iran's sabre rattling is the result of the US need for enemies? Someone should tell that to the Mullah's.

A House Republican bill granting green cards to immigrants who've graduated from US universities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is getting a second chance, after GOP members added a provision to expand a family-based program, the Associated Press reports.
The original bill failed because it didn't gain a necessary two-thirds vote under special House rules. Over 80% of Democrats voted against the immigration bill because it required cuts to the Diversity Visa Lottery Program (DV). The program gives visas to countries with low immigration to the US.
The new bill, however, could win over more Democrats because of an amendment it contains, which would expand a program granting spouses and children of permanent residents permission to reside in the US while waiting to obtain a green-card.
The amended bill will only require a simple majority to pass, and it'll likely speed through the House.
But getting it past a Democratic-controlled Senate in a lame-duck session, the AP reports, is unlikely.Via the Associated Press
