William Norman Grigg
Justin Bieber and 'Resisting Arrest Without Violence'
William Norman Grigg
Though he is adored as
a minor deity
in the
world of pop culture, when confronted by a member of the State's punitive priesthood
Justin Bieber is just another Mundane
. This explains how the alleged singer has found himself charged with the supposed crime of "resisting arrest without violence."
Bieber, who was reportedly drunk and uncooperative when stopped by a police officer,
attempted to pull his arm away when the cop tried to take him into custody
. Because of this reflex action (a healthy and predictable response to being grabbed by an armed and aggressive stranger) Bieber was hit with a charge that is remarkably commonplace in Florida.
Despite the fact that the charge is a logical anomaly, there is nothing unusual about people being arrested for resisting arrest (which is not a legitimate crime, but
a long-recognized common law right
). Many police officers treat filing a charge of resisting and obstructing as simply part of a well-established ritual -- somewhat akin to kicking an extra point following a touchdown.
In 2006,
Orlando ABC affiliate WTFV
investigated more than 4,000 arrests in which the only charge was "resisting arrest." That study documented that "prosecutors are rarely forced to prove the cases they pursue, [and] 94 percent of the time the suspects [in the cases studied] pled guilty or no contest right away."
According to Orlando defense attorney David Bigney, it's rare to see a case in which a resisting charge wasn't filed.
"All these people want to know is why, what's going on here, but the officer decides I'm just going to arrest you," Bigney pointed out. Once they find themselves caught in the coils of the "justice" system, the victims just want "fast way out. They can't afford a lawyer or they just want to get it over with, not realizing they potentially have a defense to the charges."
Pressed to defend the practice of arresting people for resisting arrest Orlando Police Chief Mike McCoy regurgitated the familiar rationale that this is necessary to protect that most precious of all things -- shall we say it together? — "officer safety."
"The street's not the place to dispute it, the courts are," McCoy continued, offering a dim but unmistakable echo of the hideous advice once offered to rape victims ("Don't resist -- it will just make things worse"). As noted above, it is all but impossible for a Mundane living in Florida to mount a successful defense against a spurious charge of resisting arrest.
For decades, courts and police departments have insisted that an unjustified arrest is a trivial imposition.
"The law ... calls upon citizens to exercise patience, if illegally arrested, because he knows he will be brought before a magistrate, and will, if improperly arrested, suffer only a temporary deprivation of his liberty,"
proclaimed a 1966 ruling by the New Mexico Supreme Court
. Even a "temporary" abduction is a grievous crime, and a single unjustified arrest is sufficient to destroy the victim's career prospects and social standing.
Resisting arrest is dangerous
, but submission can leave the victim vulnerable to
sexual assault
, torture, and death at the hands of people who are clothed in "qualified immunity."
judicial rulings
dealing with the right to resist arrest piously
the victim of
police violence to
violent self-help
." Florida's statute is uncommonly perverse in that allows police to criminalize passive non-cooperation, or even desperate acts of non-violent "self-help" by terrified citizens on the receiving end of criminal violence by uniformed aggressors.
Miami resident
Gilberto Matamoros
was charged with "disorderly conduct" and "resisting arrest without violence" after two officers unaccountably picked him out of a crowd and began beating him without cause during a 2010 Halloween celebration. A video of the incident showed the officers repeatedly striking him in the head -- a lethal force technique that qualifies as attempted murder -- as the victim cowered and attempted to ward off the attack.
After being rendered unconscious, Matamoros had to be hospitalized.
The disorderly conduct charge was quickly dropped. However, prosecutors refused to dispose of the "resisting without violence" charge until several months later, thereby forcing he victim to pay and thousands of dollars in legal fees. Matamoros's attorney, Ricardo Martinez-Cid, pointed out that his client's supposed crime was to cover his head, rather than passively allowing the assailants to kill him.
Significantly, the behavior for which Matamoros was prosecuted in Orange County, Florida wasn't much different from that of the late Kelly Thomas, who was murdered on the street by police officers in Orange County, California.
The killers of Kelly Thomas successfully argued in court that the victim's pathetic attempts at non-violent self-protection justified the use of lethal force to subdue him. This enrichment of the lethal impunity enjoyed by state-licensed aggressors in California will not be lost on their comrades on the other side of the continent -- and everywhere in between.

What's needed if for someone to data mine these liberty-hating plantation masters who come up with this bastardization of justice. Where do the front-line mouth-breathers get their marching orders from, the Chief, the academy, who? That's who you need to target.

Monday, President Obama signed legislation into law today that included the bipartisan Creating Hope Act, authored by Congressmen Michael McCaul (R-TX) and G. K. Butterfield (D-NC). The Creating Hope Act of 2011 provides market incentives to pharmaceutical companies to develop new drugs for children with rare pediatric diseases, such as childhood cancers and sickle cell.
"Today is a milestone for children who suffer from cancer and other rare pediatric diseases. This law will help pharmaceutical companies overcome market failures and change the way they look at developing treatments for children who currently don't have any, or don't have treatment specific to their disease," said Congressman McCaul, founder and chairman of the bipartisan Congressional Childhood Cancer Caucus. "In times of tough budgetary constraints, this legislation incentivizes pharmaceutical companies to finally start creating new cures for rare pediatric diseases with no cost to taxpayers."
"I am pleased that Congress recognized the significance of the Creating Hope Act and passed it without hesitation," said Congressman Butterfield. "We are now one step closer to finding better treatments and cures for rare pediatric diseases. I thank President Obama for signing this bill into law."
Donna and Tim Culliver, a Brazos Valley family, lost their son Adam to a fast-moving form of Leukemia in 2003. They have worked hard with local elected leaders to help get the Creating Hope Act to the President's desk.
The following information is from Rep. Michael McCaul's press release on the issue:
The Creating Hope Act expands the cost-neutral Food and Drug Administration priority review voucher (PRV) program, allowing pharmaceutical companies to expedite FDA review of more profitable drugs in return for developing treatments for rare pediatric diseases. Since 1980, the FDA has approved only one new drug for treatment of childhood cancer, compared to dozens for adults. Despite this significant unmet medical need, pharmaceutical companies have been reluctant to develop drugs for rare pediatric diseases because it requires making an investment in products that are unlikely to cover the high costs associated with their research, development, marketing and distribution. Developing products for children is particularly challenging because of the difficulties associated with conducting clinical trials on this patient population.
The Creating Hope Act will:
· Expand the Priority Review Voucher program to include treatments for pediatric rare diseases, such as childhood cancers.
· Close a loophole in current law to prevent companies from receiving a voucher for products that they already market in other countries.
· Offer unlimited transferability of vouchers to create a more easily traded asset.
· Provide greater certainty to sponsors that the drug, if approved, will qualify for a voucher, by permitting them to seek a designation from FDA before they submit their new drug application.
"The Creating Hope Act "fundamentally transforms the way that drug companies look at rare pediatric diseases and compensates for market failures that have prevented any new treatment for pediatric cancer from being developed in a generation," Rep. McCaul said.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
I hesitated to even write a review for Emily Herzig because I am lazy and I think her reputation precedes her already - but that didn't seem fair, and what everyone says is true: she is a real artist! Flowers were not something that was at the top of my priority list, in fact I had originally been thinking of trying to do them ourselves until I realized that it would just be too much of a burden to deal with during the wedding weekend given how complicated our at-home event was going to be. Our maximum price was right at her minimum, but I am so glad we hired her! When things were getting too expensive, she was happy to help find ways to cut back and it still looked fantastic. She was able to take my vague concepts and ideas and turn them into masterpieces: I think we got more comments on the flowers than on any other part of the wedding! Although she is a busy lady, she is also extremely nice and approachable and willing to spend the time to work with clients to really get at what they want (even if they're not sure themselves!)
Could not have asked for a more beautiful job. Emily is artistic, professional, easy to work with and made our wedding complete. Everyone was blown away by her work. She does not disappoint.
Emily was the absolute best! She took care of every little detail, and months later people are STILL talking about my amazing wedding flowers. Not only that but she went above and beyond to ensure that everything looked perfect on our wedding day. If I ever need flowers again I will be contacting Emily.
Emily was the first and last florist that we met with. From the moment we were introduced, it was evident that she really loves her job. She has such passion and talent, and we were lucky to have her be a part of our wedding. I had so much confidence in her ability that I really just told her our color scheme, and let her handle the rest. She played a large role in the planning process, and kept in touch throughout. She even met me in Boston to check out flowers and linens in person. On the day of our wedding, everything turned out absolutely stunning – we had so many people tell us that the flowers arrangements were the most beautiful they had ever seen. Although her services are more expensive than others, she is absolutely worth every penny.
Emily provided flowers for me for my rehearsal dinner at the Schilling Beer Co in Littleton. We used a variety of beer steins for the tables and she did the most beautiful arrangements---flowers totally appropriate for the setting and decor. She was fun and great to work with and I would recommend her highly.
Emily Herzig and her crew presented myself and the bridesmaids with gorgeous bouquets and the groom and groomsman with gorgeous boutonnieres.The colors requested were as close to hot pink and turquoise blue as possible and she surely delivered. Every table, the Chuppah and archway were impeccably decorated. I could not have asked for more beautiful flowers. Emily Herzig even brought me to the Boston flower exchange the week before the wedding in order to check out the flowers and colors she was thinking of. Emily Herzig surely made sure all colors were matched and she truly brought my vision to life. Thank you so much!! :)
Emily's work is impeccable. I know almost nothing about flowers and we had no specific theme, but Emily was able to interpret my scattered thoughts into a beautiful, colorful, cohesive display. I loved that for our first meeting, we were able to meet in Boston since that's where we live. Upon meeting, she was so friendly and energetic, and had some amazing ideas. Throughout the entire process, she was very responsive and upfront about costs. The end result was some of the most amazing bouquets and displays I've ever seen. People kept commenting on her awesome idea to take a pair of my dad's old ski boots and to fill them flowers, they were a hit! Thanks again Emily :)
I cannot explain how wonderful Emily is and how amazing her work was. People are still talking about how beautiful every centerpiece and bouquet as well as boutonniere and other floral arrangements. I wasn't emotional all day until she brought in my bouquet and I instantly felt like a bride, and this is before I even had my dress on. I gave her a general idea of what I liked for flowers and I was amazed by the amount of unique, creative, and frankly perfect ideas that she immediately came up with. Emily created this one specific floral arrangement that made people stop in their tracks and simply appreciate it, it was that incredible. She was so easy to work with, her prices were in the same range as other florists and most of all, her enthusiasm for my wedding was contagious.
Our flowers, linens and chairs are the pieces that really brought our wedding "vision" together and are the items we dreamed up with Emily. Emily was so flexible and imaginative. My father was not sure why flowers were so important to a wedding and why the budget needed to be so high. After meeting with Emily he was amazed at her professionalism and knowledge on wedding flowers. He was actually excited to see what she could do.
Our flowers were commented on by everyone. She worked with our budget and made suggestions for things to remove and things to add to make sure we got exactly what we wanted.
You do not want to use anyone else, you have found your florist - congrats!
From the moment I met Emily I knew she could make my combination of Pinterest pictures and thoughts a reality. She just "got it." She was able to create a look that was both natural and elegant at the same time using herbs, topiaries, lanterns, unique flowers, hanging bud vases from trees, and even making a collar of flowers for our dog! Working with Emily was such a pleasure. She is kind, funny, responsive, and incredibly creative. She took all of our ideas and made them into a beautiful final product that our guests are still talking about! We chose a local venue that many of our guests had been to for previous weddings, but all of them commented that because of Emily's creative and unique flowers and decor it was as if the venue was "new again." Out of all of our vendors, I really credit Emily for being the key factor in making our wedding unique, special, and a true reflection of our personal style. I would recommend her without hesitation.
Emily Herzig is a floral genius. Her creative vision and knowledge enabled her to take my vision and enhance it beyond my dreams. She was wonderful to work with, listened to everything I had to say, and consistently offered countless creative and unique ideas that I never would have thought of. She always responded to me promptly and with enthusiasm. I loved all of my wedding vendors, but really felt especially honored to have the opportunity to work with Emily.
Emily from EH Floral is amazing. I knew from the second I saw her flowers I had to have her as a florist. She has a creative eye and always adds the perfect touch to her arrangements. With that said, my wedding flowers were breath taking. I cried when I saw my bouquet for the first time as well as the bridesmaids bouquets. All of the flowers Emily arranged for our wedding were absolutely perfect. Not only did Emily act as our florist, she also assisted with details for our reception. She found a unique/rustic box for our cards and provided a sign for guests, as well as assisted us with linens, table numbers, and a unique guest book. Our wedding day was perfect in every way and we can't thank Emily enough.
The moment I met Emily I knew I was in the hands of an artist. She is a wnderful listener and visionary; together we created magic.
Emily understood everything I was thinking. and took my ideas farther than I could have imagined.
We wanted our daughter's wedding to be different, vintage, ecclectic, woodsy and personal. She knew exactly what to do. With her extrordinary flowers and artistic vision, Emily was able to take our large collections of vintage and handmade tablesettings, and create the most beautiful and memorable wedding imaginable. I would hire her again in a heartbeat! Sally Lockwood
Emily is a floral genius. I could probably just stop there, but I'll elaborate… Emily is clearly gifted and has her own aesthetic, but what impressed me the most was how she was able to listen to my ideas and my description of how I wanted my wedding to feel and transform it all into something more beautiful than I could have imagined. She is also a joy to work with, personally and professionally—she was always responsive and eager to share new ideas, and paid a lot of attention to the details.
Emily is an artist and her work is amazing! We were so happy with her work and I wish that the flowers would last forever. She is lovely to work with and I highly recommend her!!
I can not say enough good things about Emily. To say she was amazing doesn't even cut it. When I walked into our reception room and saw all the tables and centerpieces and how everything came together I couldn't believe it. Emily has such an eye for not only flowers but also table linens, accessories and much more. If you choose Emily for your wedding trust me you will not be disappointed! :)

What Women Don't Want
I am no expert, no love doctor,
none of that. I am just Khan, the average guy. I have the looks,
but, no one said I'm George Clooney, or...as 21st century women
like to say, Robert Pattinson, although in my opinion, he is not
much of a man.
In my days I have attracted many pretty girls. I'm definitely in with the times. This following masterpiece, has come with much research, and much laughter.
So we all know too well what women want right? They practically drill it into our heads. Shoes [she hints how pretty they are every time you walk past], the dresses, the make-up, the expensive chocolates imported from Brazil [if you even suggest the Indian ones, she looks at you as if you insulted her grandmother]. Yes, we know all about women and their endless demands for material goods. But, have you heard the flip side? I, being the superhero, have taken the pains to chat to the ladies in my household to find out what exactly they don't want. Here's what they had to say. The following statements have been issued against us:
- "Women DO NOT like greasy hair. We DO NOT want you to look as though you dipped your head in almond oil [yes, this refers to hair-gel]."
Then again, we do not like having girls who look like frosted Barbie dolls. You banish the make up, we banish the hairgel. Deal?
- "We DO NOT want to know if Lukas Padolski scored last night, or for that matter, know who Lukas Padolski is at all."
We do not want to know if Taylor Lautner has an eight-pack, or even care.
- "Roses do not come in just ONE color. Seriously, the constant obsession with "red" gives us the impression that you're a) suicidal or b) colour blind . We DO NOT want red roses all the time. Is that too much to ask for?"
Well you see, us, guys, are like machines. We are programmed.You tell us you like red. We buy red. Don't coo at the red and then curse us because we didn't get you the gold one.
-What is it with slang? We DO NOT glow with affection when you refer to us infront of your friends as your "chick". As much as we would like to refer to you as a "male boar", we don't.
I thought chicks were cute and cuddly. ?.
At this point in time, my ears are ringing. I have the sudden urge to shove my head into a toilet bowl. Now, my fellow brothers, it is time to make a change. Our simple days of chocolates and roses are officially over.
It is time to take into consideration...what women don't want.

"Bear you one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2
Thank God for an errand to Him. It may be you have felt no heart to pray for yourself- you have been sensible of no peculiar drawings to the throne for your own soul, but you halt going in behalf of another; the burden, the trial, the affliction, or the immediate need of some member of God's family has pressed upon you, and you have taken his case to the Lord: you have borne him in your arms to the throne of grace, and, while interceding for your brother, the Lord has met you, and blessed your own soul.
Perhaps you halt gone and prayed for the Church, for the peace of Jerusalem, for the prosperity of Zion, that the Lord would build up her waste places, and make her a joy and a praise in the whole earth- perhaps it has been to pray for your minister, that the Lord would teach him more deeply and experimentally, and anoint him more plenteously with the rich anointing and unction of the Holy Spirit- perhaps it has been to pray for Christian missions, and for laborious and self-denying missionaries, that the Lord would make them eminently successful in diffusing the knowledge of a precious Savior, and in calling in His people: and thus, while for others you have been besieging the throne of grace, and pouring out your heart before the Lord, the Lord Himself has drawn near to your own soul, and you have been made to experience the blessing that is ever the attendant and the reward of intercessory prayer.
Then let every event, every circumstance, every providence be a voice urging you to prayer. If you have no needs, others have- take them to the Lord. If you are borne down by no cross, smitten by no affliction, or suffering from no need, others are- for them go and plead with your heavenly Father, and the petitions you send up to the mercy-seat on their behalf may return into your own bosom freighted with rich covenant blessings.
The falls, the weaknesses, the declensions of others make them grounds for prayer. Thus, and thus only, can you expect to grow in grace, and grace to grow in you.

Canon exec says Micro Four Thirds stems from failures
updated 05:10 pm EDT, Fri March 18, 2011
Canon has no current plans to enter CSC segment
Canon Europe head of consumer imaging Rainer Fuehres says that Canon has no need to enter the mirrorless compact system camera (CSC) segment. In an interview with Amateur Photography, Fuehres argues that the segment has only evolved because manufacturers who have introduced them have failed to compete with Canon and Nikon in the DSLR segment. While not ruling out the possibility that Canon will introduce a CSC, Fuehres indicated that it would only likely happen if Canon could offer something different.
'The idea of the compact system camera is nothing to do with whether the camera has a mirror or not, but about creating a small and more portable system. If Canon does take part I hope we won't introduce just a me-too product, but we'll use the opportunity to do something different,' Fuehres said. 'For Canon it would be about connectivity and providing high image quality in a small form'.
Manufacturers to have introduced cameras in the CSC include Olympus and Panasonic who co-developed the Micro Fourth Thirds standard. Subsequently, Samsung with its NX system cameras and Sony with its NEX series have also joined the segment with their own take. In a further sign of the increasing popularity of CSCs, Carl Zeiss and Schneider Kreuznach both recently announced that they would introduce third-party support for Micro Four Thirds lenses. To remain competitive, in the segment, Sony has even opened up its proprietary E-mount lens connectivity standard to third-parties.
When asked by Amateur Photography about whether Canon would enter the mirrorless segment or work towards developing a more compact EOS DSLR, Fuerhes was not in a position to comment. [via Amateur Photography]

David Beckham in talks with MLS to purchase franchise
David Beckham's representatives have held talks with Major League Soccer over the former England captain purchasing a new club in the US.
The Paris St-Germain player, 38, announced on Thursday that he is to retire at the end of the season.
When Beckham joined Los Angeles Galaxy in 2007 his contract included an option to purchase an "expansion franchise".
In 2009 Beckham said: "I have the right to own a franchise, which I will action immediately after I stop playing."
Beckham's club football career
- 1992-2003: Manchester United (394 apps, 85 goals)
- 1994-1995: Preston North End (loan) (five apps, two goals)
- 2003-2007: Real Madrid (157 apps, 19 goals)
- 2007-2012: Los Angeles Galaxy (118 apps, 20 goals)
- 2009-2010: Loan spells at AC Milan (33 apps, two goals)
- 2013: Paris St-Germain (13 apps, no goals)
MLS executive vice-president of communications Dan Courtemanche said: "There have been preliminary discussions with his advisors.
"At some point in time he will exercise that option and we can go through the process of making sure it is the perfect fit for David and Major League Soccer, but we are not there yet."
The BBC reported in December last year that Beckham had already been approached by two MLS clubs over an ownership role.
MLS has 19 teams and plans to add a 20th club in New York City, with Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour reported to be the likely buyer.
The south-east of the US is currently without an MLS team, and Miami has reportedly been considered as one of the possible locations by Beckham's team. His contract explicitly rules out New York City as a location.
Beckham's fee to purchase a new franchise has been reported as $25m (£16m), well below the recent entry fees for other expansion clubs.
When his contractual opportunity to own an MLS team was first disclosed in 2009, Beckham reiterated his "commitment to develop soccer in the United States".
Beckham's advisors include his management team Simon Fuller's XIX Entertainment, who also manage Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton and tennis player Andy Murray.
Prior to his retirement, Beckham committed himself to long-term ambassadorial roles for Sky television, and to promote football in China.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- It is Wednesday, so that means it is time to feature our Teacher of the Week!
This week FCN is spotlighting Brooke Huffman at Sabal Palm Elementary School in Duval County. She has been teaching children with special needs for 17 years.
Currently she is teaching Pre-K children and says teachers must have patience, love and never put a limit on what they think their students can learn.
The parent who nominated Huffman said:
"Reason for Nomination: Ms. Brooke Huffman is my 5 year old son's PK teacher; he is enrolled in a Communication and Social Skills class for students with special needs at Sabal Palm Elementary. As a parent of a child with speech/language delays, I feel that you not only have to be a strong advocate for your child, as they are not able to fully communicate their needs and wants for themselves; but you must also have a teacher who feels just as strongly about your child's needs as you do. Ms. Huffman makes me say WOW!! everyday.
"She is a teacher who not only teaches but is a true advocate for her students. She goes above and beyond to make sure that her students reach their maximum potential. She is a teacher who regardless of the time of day, will answer any concerns brought her way. She is very compassionate about what she does and makes an impact on her students lives. As a result of my son being one of students he has made great progress towards reaching his maximum potential.
"My son has gone from a child who begin her class with only vocalizing words (mumbling) to a child who is reading by himself with comprehension. With her knowledge as a teacher I feel that my son's future as far as his education goes will be a bit more brighter, she makes him want to go to school everyday and learn even more. She is truly deserving of this nomination and I would LOVE to thank her for not only being their for my son but for any other students that come her way."
Of course Huffman says that is wonderful to hear and she loves to see her students grow.
"I still keep in touch with kids who are 17 years old that I have taught. We are pen pals and we write back and forth and I am still friends with a lot of the parents of students I have taught. It makes me feel wonderful," she says.
Congratulations and a big thank you to Huffman!

The solution must be collaborative.
We're bringing together superstars from every level and sector to meet our goal.
In the past, childhood hunger in our country has been handled piecemeal by federal, state and local governments and various nonprofits. As a result, no single entity has been held accountable to ensure no kid goes hungry.
Until now. Share Our Strength is committed to ending childhood hunger in America – and we're rallying and uniting the various organizations and entities needed to make this a reality.
While many of our campaigns are nationwide, we are also at work on a local level through state and city-based No Kid Hungry campaigns or partnerships or by empowering existing local organizations. These sustainable partnerships are fighting childhood hunger in communities across our country. We're working with the best of the best to end childhood hunger – together.

Pirates notebook: Karstens, Tabata placed DL, Harrison recalled
Pirates/MLB Videos
DETROIT — The Pirates announced a flurry of roster moves Monday before opening a two-game series at Detroit.
The Pirates placed right-handed pitcher Jeff Karstens on the 60-day disabled list and moved outfielder Jose Tabata (strained left oblique) to the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 25. The Pirates optioned right-handed pitcher Bryan Morris to Triple-A Indianapolis and called up left-handed reliever Mike Zagurski and utility man Josh Harrison to fill their 25-man roster.
Zagurski takes Karstens' place on the 40-man roster.
Karstens was shut down last week after feeling discomfort while throwing. Karstens, who had a 3.97 ERA and 4.4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 90 2⁄3 innings last season, has dealt with shoulder inflammation all spring and has not pitched with the big league club.
The Pirates described Karstens' move to the 60-day DL as a "paperwork" move. Karstens is eligible to come off the DL on the 60th day of the season, not 60 days from Monday.
The severity of Karstens' shoulder injury remains unclear. He was scheduled to return to Pittsburgh over the weekend and be evaluated early this week.
"I don't know if there's been an evaluation," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "I know we were scheduled to bring him back to get him looked at."
Hurdle said Tabata aggravated an oblique injury in Milwaukee.
"Those are very tricky," Hurdle said. "He had slightly tweaked it a while back at home, played through it and thought it went away. But you saw the swing he took in Milwaukee the other night. The last two days he tried to do some things, but he didn't feel confident to do anything at full speed."
Left-leaning Pirates
Zagurski gives Hurdle another left-handed option. The Pirates have six left-handed pitchers on their 25-man roster.
Zagurski was leading the International League in strikeouts per inning, fanning 37 batters in 21 innings, helping him to a 2.14 ERA.
In the short term, Hurdle wanted another left-handed arm. Last week Hurdle talked about the bullpen's depth, and perhaps it would allow the club to move a pitcher in an eventual trade.
"We are trying to get looks at them when it makes sense," Hurdle said. "We wanted to balance the bullpen for this series. … The velocity has ratcheted up from what we saw in spring training. (Zagurski is) a strike thrower. The slider has showed more depth than he's showed in the past."
Harrison brings flexibility
Harrison gives the Pirates another right-handed bat and someone who can play various positions.
"He can defend in right field, on both corners, (and) he's played in the infield," Hurdle said. "Plus he can get a hit off (Justin) Verlander if we need one. We saw that last year."
Harrison broke up a Verlander no-hit bid against the Pirates last May.
A vote for Cabrera
A year after a winning the triple crown, the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera leads the AL in batting average (.385) and RBI (57) and is second in homers (14).
Is he the premier hitter in the game?
"For me, he's the best hitter in the baseball," Hurdle said. "He's stubborn to the big part of the ballpark. With runners in scoring position, he's as good as anybody. He stays inside the fastball, rides things out to right. He pulls and hammers the slow stuff."

Unofficial rumblings have pointed to Isis Mobile Wallet's trial getting close. If you've remained skeptical all the same, we're pretty sure that seeing Isis' Android app in Google Play will change your mind. The currently T-Mobile-only software confirms that pilot program members will tie their American Express, Capital One or Chase card (as well as a unique card) to Isis for paying through NFC at stores with a SmartTap terminal. We're also promised streamlined loyalty cards and coupons. Before anyone rushes to try the app at the local shop, remember that it's just one piece of the puzzle on top of the special SIM card, one of three NFC-equipped phones and that small matter of living in Austin or Salt Lake City when the service goes live. Having the official app at least lets those who qualify get a head start on what could soon be the only major alternative to Google Wallet in the US.

Airway Lanes is located at 4825 Highland Road, Waterford Township. For more information, contact the Activities/Events Director-at 248-674-0424 or visit airwaylanes.com.
Airway Lanes invites the community to experience its new state of the art bowling scoring system beginning Aug. 15.
The new system replaces a scoring package that was installed in the early nineties.
Beyond improving the looks of the center and enhancing the experience for its league bowlers and party guests by replacing outdated television tube monitors with flat panel TV's, the new system has additional games, graphics and social functionality.
This is especially true for casual bowlers. Bowlers can now play side games and interact online with one another through the scoring program. Partygoers will find added extras and games suited to casual play. League bowlers will find special enhancements that they'll benefit from too.
Airway Lanes has over 30 different bowling leagues catering to men, women, boomers or mixed players.
New this season, Airway has begun offering leagues with added prize money obtained from sponsorship sales.
This season, the newly revised Thursday Men's League will receive $4,000 in added sponsor prize money. A new Friday Night Mixed Trio League also gets $1,000 in added money. Space in both of these leagues is limited and will be available on first come first served basis.
Able to accommodate small to large groups of adults, kids and seniors, Airway Lanes has a variety of activities at the center other than bowling.
Airway also has two professional-grade sand volleyball courts and horseshoe pits off of their Lounge Deck.

Gene Chizik talks with his team prior to a game between Auburn and New Mexico State Nov. 3 at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala.
- Filed Under
As Auburn officials weigh the job status of football coach Gene Chizik and his $7.5 million buyout, a new factor could be part of the equation: Potential NCAA violations.
Though it's unclear whether the NCAA will levy formal allegations against the Auburn football program, a Yahoo! Sports report Wednesday suggested a ramping-up of an investigation into recruiting practices that has been going on since at least August. Chizik's contract states that he can be fired "for cause" if he or any assistants have been determined to be "involved in significant or repetitive violations of NCAA ...

Kariya may play next week, Konowalchuk deal long planned
The Avs did not place LW Paul Kariya on injured reserve. His wrist is not injured to the extent previously thought. He could be back in the line up within a week.
In an interview in Friday's Denver Post, Pierre Lacroix explained that the Avs have been trying to obtain Konowalchuk since the end of last season. "After last season, we called and got involved in talking with them. They weren't ready, because he was kind of their bread-and-butter and blood guy. He had been there a long time."
Lacroix described Konowalchuk as "a rare kind of player, a rare blend. He has experience and can play on the first line and can kill a penalty, play on a checking line. He's that kind of guy. There are not many of those guys."
Lacroix further explained why highly touted prospect Jonas Johansson (2002 first round pick) was expendable. "Johansson came to two camps, got an injury, and the overall consensus of our group was that there is a risk factor with him. We acquired a third-round pick in this deal, and we would have lost him for nothing. We were not going to sign him. That was our decision."

Video: Oskar & the TP Roll
12 comments:
DETERMINATION. Sooo cute, wonder how long he would have continied if you wouldn't have said anything Oskar is amazingReplyDeleteReplies
I have found the TP completely off the roll a couple of times before. I know it was Oskar - Klaus has never expressed interest in doing this. Oh well, no big deal. Oskar has to explore with his paws. : ) I can always reverse the roll to make it harder to get unwound.Delete
In Poland we have National Cat- Day today! Best wishes to Klaus and Oskar!ReplyDeleteReplies
We will celebrate with a few extra snacks! I didn't remember the Cat Day from my ten years in Warsaw, so thank you for reminding me. : )Delete
I love all of the updates on Oskar and Klaus! They are both adorable! Keep the videos coming, my kids enjoy them also!ReplyDelete
How did Oskar know where to find the tiolet paper? I am completely amazed with all that Oskar does!!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's a complete mystery -- but he does spend part of each day just exploring with his paws!Delete
The ease way to solve this is to put the roll the other way around (the paper coming off the back of the roll). That way, he can paw it all he wants, but it stays on the roll.ReplyDeleteReplies
That's true -- I did reverse the roll for a while (but then switched back when Oskar lost interest in the TP). But.....from time to time he just has to pull it off the roll! Take care!Delete
I took an empty 2 liter soda bottle, cut off the top and bottom, cut the resulting tube down the middle and voila! Instant solution to the kitty tp issue. Worked on my cat at least.ReplyDeleteReplies
Not a bad idea! Thank you for sharing this - although Oskar doesn't bother the TP too often. I will keep this in mind just in case he starts doing it all the time.Delete
Don't remember my 1st cat doing the toilet paper play but she was about 6 months old when she decided 2 live with me (maybe she found out b4 that it wasn't all that much fun. My 2nd little girl was a holy terror with toilet paper. Didn't help that she had 2 bathrooms 2 choose from. It was equal opportunity 4 her til she found something else that would make her happy & me nuts. Fond memories though.ReplyDelete

Canalys: Apple rising in worldwide smartphone market
updated 02:00 am EST, Fri February 8, 2013
Android dips in share in Q4, iOS gains but still in second
Following up on yesterday's breakout of US smartphone market numbers that saw Apple take the leading vendor role while the Android platform dipped slightly, research firm Canalys has published a report on the worldwide market that again shows the combined versions of Google's Android operating system losing some ground -- though still strongly dominant in the worldwide smartphone market. For Q4 2012, Android slid from 74 percent to 69.2, while iOS rose from 15 percent to 22.1 percent.
In a year where overall mobile phone shipments were flat compared to the previous quarter, the smartphone market grew 37 percent -- mostly on the back of Apple's recent iPhone 5. Apple credits the arrival of the latest iPhone in China with some of that success, and indeed three Chinese phone makers -- Huawei, ZTE and Lenovo -- gained entry to the top five smartphone manufacturers list for the first time as the smartphone market in China grew dramatically over 2012.
Nevertheless, Apple and Samsung again dominated the worldwide market in shipments, with Samsung selling 29 percent of all smartphones in Q4 compared to Apple's 22.1 percent. By platform, Android phones of all stripes accounted for 69.2 percent of Q4 shipments. BlackBerry took third place by vendor with 7.6 million phones shipped, followed by Microsoft with 5.1 million worldwide and Nokia with 3.2 million.
As the fourth quarter includes the holiday buying season, sales for all vendors rose precipitously compared to the previous quarter. Samsung and Apple both saw a 78 percent growth in shipments over the previous quarter, with the three Chinese makers seeing growth in the triple digits, including Lenovo's 216 percent quarterly sales jump.
Overall yearly growth, however, again pointed out the difficulty of shifting Apple or Samsung from the dominant spots: by vendor, BlackBerry was in third place, explained a Canalys analyst, "but [second-place] Apple shipped 101 million more handsets [than they did] ... first-placed Samsung shipped 74 million more than Apple. The gaps are colossal."
Related to the staggering figures of smartphone shipments is the fact that smartphones now make up 73 percent of the overall Chinese mobile phone market, the largest single mobile market in the world. The figure is nearly a doubling of the 40 percent of shipments smartphones took in China just a year ago.
Canalys says that Apple needs to secure a deal with China's largest carrier, China Mobile, and promote an iPhone model that is priced in accordance with the average smartphone price in China in order to grow its stake in the China market to its full potential.
As with the US smartphone market report, Canalys' numbers may be masking Apple's true position due to the fact that it relies on shipment numbers rather than sell-through figures. Apple's publicly-released iPhone sales are actual sell-through results that don't include in-channel inventory, whereas few if any Android makers release anything but shipment numbers, which includes store inventory and can in some cases be quite deceptive. Though few would claim that Samsung isn't doing as well as it seems to be, the disparity could push Apple's figures somewhat higher if all makers used the "end-user sales" criteria.

LP -> VV -> Vientiane or the opposite direction?

Hi folks!
Me and my wife will be traveling in North Thailand (Chiang Mai) in October and our next stop is Laos. After Laos we plan to continue to Hanoi (Vietnam).
The main places we want to visit in Laos are: Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng and Vientiane . However I'm curious what would be the best route for us? If we start in Chiang Mai, I though of 2 following options:
1. Going all the way to Udon Thani and enter Lao side via Friendship border passage which brings us directly to Vientiane. In this case we will do Vientiane -> VV -> LP and then fly from LP to Hanoi.
2. Entering Laos through Chiang Kong and then continuing in the opposite direction than in the first option. This would be then Chiang Kong -> LP -> VV -> Vientiane and the fly to Hanoi.
What do you think? Which way is more reasonable?

I'd recommend the 2nd option.

I would do the 2nd option simply because it is a lot closer and more scenic from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong in the north than it is to the Friendship bridge near Vientiane . Also flights to Hanoi are slightly cheaper from Vientiane than from Luang Prabang.

FLASHBACK: The Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG): "Launch Secret Operations Aimed At 'Stimulating Reactions' Among Terrorists"
Donald Rumsfeld's plan to fight terror is to create a lot more of it. In
an L.A. Times column
(registration required), military analyst William Arkin describes the Pentagon's plan to create an elite secret army, equipped with a vast array of equipment and resources, using "aggressive new 'off-the-books' tactics." He calls it, "the largest expansion of covert action by the armed forces since the Vietnam era.".
The Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG) – as described in an internal briefing drafted this summer to guide other Pentagon agencies – would carrry out "secret operations aimed at 'stimulating reactions' among terrorists and states possessing weapons of mass destruction – that is, for instance, prodding terrorist cells into action and exposing themselves to 'quick-response' attacks by U.S. forces." Wait a minute – prod terrorists into action?! Hello again, Dr. Strangelove.
And just to make sure that we lose international support altogether, the brief declares the U.S. will hold "states/sub-state actors accountable" and "signal to harboring states that their sovereignty will be at risk." That is sure to
play well
with the rest of the world.
The Secret War; Frustrated by intelligence failures, the Defense Department is dramatically expanding its 'black world' of covert operations
The Los Angeles Times; Los Angeles, Calif.; Oct 27, 2002; William M. Arkin;
SOUTH POMFRET, Vt. -- In what may well be the largest expansion of covert action by the armed forces since the Vietnam era, the Bush administration has turned to what the Pentagon calls the "black world" to press the war on terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.
The Defense Department is building up an elite secret army with resources stretching across the full spectrum of covert capabilities. New organizations are being created. The missions of existing units are being revised. Spy planes and ships are being assigned new missions in anti-terror and monitoring the "axis of evil."
The increasingly dominant role of the military, Pentagon officials say, reflects frustration at the highest levels of government with the performance of the intelligence community, law enforcement agencies and much of the burgeoning homeland security apparatus. It also reflects the desire of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to gain greater overall control of the war on terror.
Insulated from outside pressures, armed with matchless weapons and technology, trained to operate below the shadow line, the Pentagon's black world of classified operations holds out the hope of swift, decisive action in a struggle against terrorism that often looks more like a family feud than a war.
Coupled with the enormous effort being made throughout the government to improve and link information networks and databases, covert anti-terror operations promise to put better information in the hands of streamlined military teams that can identify, monitor and neutralize terrorist threats.
"Prevention and preemption are ... the only defense against terrorism," Rumsfeld said in May. "Our task is to find and destroy the enemy before they strike us."
The new apparatus for covert operations and the growing government secrecy associated with the war on terrorism reflect the way the Bush administration's most senior officials see today's world:
First, they see fighting terrorism and its challenge to U.S. interests and values as the 21st century equivalent of the Cold War crusade against communism. Second, they believe the magnitude of the threat requires, and thus justifies, aggressive new "off-the-books" tactics.
In their understandable frustration over continued atrocities such as the recent Bali attack, however, U.S. officials might keep two points in mind.
Though covert action can bring quick results, because it is isolated from the normal review processes it can just as quickly bring mistakes and larger problems. Also, the Pentagon is every bit as capable as the civilian side of the government when it comes to creating organization charts and bureaucracy that stifle creative thinking and timely action.
The development of the Pentagon's covert counter-terror capability has its roots in the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. The Army created a highly compartmentalized organization that could collect clandestine intelligence independent of the rest of the U.S. intelligence community and follow through with covert military action.
Known as the Intelligence Support Activity, or ISA, when it was established in 1981, this unit fought in drug wars and counter- terror operations from the Middle East to South America. It built a reputation for daring, flexibility and a degree of lawlessness.
In May 1982, Deputy Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci called the ISA "uncoordinated and uncontrolled." Though its freelance tendencies were curbed, the ISA continued to operate under different guises through the ill-starred U.S. involvement in Somalia in 1992 and was reportedly active in the hunt for Bosnian Serbs suspected of war crimes.
Today, the ISA operates under the code name Gray Fox. In addition to covert operations, it provides the war on terrorism with the kind of so-called "close-in" signals monitoring -- including the interception of cell phone conversations -- that helped bring down Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar.
Gray Fox's low-profile eavesdropping planes also fly without military markings. Working closely with Special Forces and the CIA, Gray Fox also places operatives inside hostile territory.
In and around Afghanistan, Gray Fox was part of a secret sphere that included the CIA's paramilitary Special Activities Division and the Pentagon's Joint Special Operations Command.
These commands and "white" Special Forces like the Green Berets, as well as Air Force combat controllers and commandos of eight different nations report to a mind-boggling array of new command cells and coordination units set up after Sept. 11.
An Army brigadier general commands the Joint Interagency Task Force at Bagram air base north of Kabul to coordinate CIA, Defense Department and coalition forces in Afghanistan. A new Campaign Support Group has been established at Ft. Bragg, N.C. The Special Operations Joint Interagency Collaboration Center has been created in Tampa, Fla.
In Europe, the Joint Interagency Coordination Group handles information-sharing and logistical support with NATO. Hawaii's Pacific Command stood up a Joint Interagency Counter-Terrorist Group this summer.
Meantime, old commands are being morphed into new ones for the covert war. The two Joint Interagency Task Forces in the United States previously devoted to fighting drugs now have the war on terrorism as their highest priority.
The epicenter of the Pentagon's covert operations remains the North Carolina-based Joint Special Operations Command, often referred to as Delta Force. The super-secret command is still not officially acknowledged to exist. Its two-star commander, Army Maj. Gen. Dell L. Dailey, who spent much of the Afghan war in Oman, has no public biography.
Among Dailey's assets is a fleet of aircraft specially equipped for secret operations -- conventional and covert military planes and helicopters, and even former Soviet helicopters. The bulk of those craft, including the reconfigured Russian choppers, fly from airfields in Uzbekistan and from two Pakistani air bases, Shahbaz and Shamsi.
The Air Force and the CIA collect additional intelligence from unmanned Predator and Global Hawk drones. They also have low- profile reconnaissance assets that look like transport planes and operate under such code names as ARL-Low, Keen Sage, Scathe View and Senior Scout.
Not to be left out, the Navy's Gray Star spy vessel, reminiscent of the old Pueblo, captured by North Korea in 1968, now sweeps up sophisticated -- and obscure -- "measurements and signatures intelligence" to monitor the ballistic missile capabilities of Iraq, Iran and North Korea.
Even with all this, the Pentagon wants to expand covert capabilities.
Rumsfeld's influential Defense Science Board 2002 Summer Study on Special Operations and Joint Forces in Support of Countering Terrorism says in its classified "outbrief" -- a briefing drafted to guide other Pentagon agencies -- that the global war on terrorism "requires new strategies, postures and organization."
The board recommends creation of a super-Intelligence Support Activity, an organization it dubs the Proactive, Preemptive Operations Group, (P2OG), to bring together CIA and military covert action, information warfare, intelligence, and cover and deception.
Among other things, this body would launch secret operations aimed at "stimulating reactions" among terrorists and states possessing weapons of mass destruction -- that is, for instance, prodding terrorist cells into action and exposing themselves to "quick-response" attacks by U.S. forces.
Such tactics would hold "states/sub-state actors accountable" and "signal to harboring states that their sovereignty will be at risk," the briefing paper declares.
Never to be outdone in proposing hardware solutions, the Air Force is designing its own Global Response Task Force to fight the war on terrorism. The all-seeing, all-bombing Air Force envisions unmanned A-X aircraft capable of long-range, nighttime gunship operations and an M-X covert transport, as well as hypersonic and space-based conventional weapons capable of delivering a "worldwide attack within an hour."
Who says the arms race is over? Rumsfeld's science board warns against overemphasis on equipment even as it recommends more. Washington is well on its way to an arms race with itself.
And for those who worry that all these secret operations and aggressive new doctrines will turn the United States into the world's policeman, there is a ray of hope.
Rumsfeld is now the field marshal of the war on terrorism, but the Pentagon is also creating new layers of bureaucracy that may save it from itself. Not to mention the rest of us.

Donald Rumsfeld, you seem to be competing with your friend Dick Cheney to be accorded the title of the greatest terrorist that ever lived. It may sound grandiose but there are a few problems with that Mr. Rumsfeld. Banging the drums may keep your sponsors at bay but such cowardly drivel shouldn't frighten a goose.
Frankly Mr. Rumsfeld I would like you to think of me as your doctor, as you seem to like the adjective; please think of me as your special doctor. It is a caring, loving and forgiving world, you just have to admit to yourself you have a problem, much of the whole world knows it.
The medicine really isn't that painful, you might even find it refreshing. Imagine if you just had your own mind rather than going after everyone elses. Even pacts with the devil can be broken, all men can change, if that were not true what purpose in a life? How about we sit down and talk about this Mr. Rumsfeld, we can tell everyone it is a state secret vital to national security and call it a pre-emptive special operation if you like?
I know you have many distractions, I have seen all those occult practices in the worldwide media too, but personally I find it psychedelic and I think most are at least wondering what this freak show is all about. That means they are thinking Mr. Rumsfeld, that means they are connected and not going out of their minds as they have their own ones and the real problem is yours Mr. Rumsfeld.
You may have some bad mornings Mr. Rumsfeld, as your doctor I know it is getting worse. It might feel like that train is stuck, but people know where that train is going Mr. Rumsfeld and the tickets aren't selling. It is time for self responsibility Mr. Rumsfeld, just imagine if you had your own mind to choose for yourself, you wouldn't have to say it was your idea anymore, it would be. The therapy is curative and that simple. People will sort that train out, and as for all the murder and mayhem Mr. Rumsfeld, like I say, it is a caring, loving and forgiving world, you just have to admit to yourself what the real problem is.
Did you say what you said Mr. Rumsfeld or did you not lie when you lied?

VIENNA (AP) - A court has found a former Austrian interior minister and EU lawmaker guilty of corruption after he fell for a sting operation by two British journalists and sentenced him to four years in prison.
Ernst Strasser, 56, was charged last year after the two reporters pretending to be lobbyists offered him money to try to water down proposed EU legislation. He subsequently resigned from the EU Parliament.
On Monday, Judge Georg Olschak rejected Strasser's argument that he thought he was being set up by U.S. intelligence agents posing as lobbyists and played along to catch them red handed.
Strasser said he thought he was under surveillance because the U.S. was displeased with the EU Parliament's rejection of proposed anti-terrorist measures but did not tell Austrian officials about his concerns.
