Only the names change.
Back in the day, they were the party girls or good time girls or whatever you wanted to call them. Now, these fuck slut loosey goosey broads are called Indie girls. Different name, same hardcore love and devotion to all-out, no-holds-barred sex. If it's a body part located somewhere in the mid-section, these chicks have a mouth, hand, pussy or ass on it. Drink in one hand; cock in the other. That's their motto. Not really, but it's kind of catchy.
This is a totally DIY affair from top to bottoms with skateboards, punkabilly soundtrack, homemade graphics, foreign beverages, and conversations about the Velvet Underground. And the fucking is out of sight. That's just an expression. You actually get to see Bobbi Starr take a huge cock and balls into her mouth simultaneously and play a mean rusty trombone. Misti Love gets her asshole fingered while slobberknocking a bulging boner. Tatiana Kush gets her armpits sniffed and licks globs of cum off the laminate flooring. And blonde sex addict Tara Foxx does her first DP.
This one is fucking crazy…or should we say "Indie." Do not miss this one!

LAS CRUCES >> A Las Cruces woman died last weekend in a single-vehicle crash north of Artesia, and police believe alcohol was a contributing factor.
Anna M. Sanchez, 50, was driving on U.S. 285 Sunday night when she lost control of her pickup, hit a guardrail then rolled into a nearby arroyo, according to a news release from New Mexico State Police.
Sanchez died while in flight to a hospital.
Investigators believe driver inattention, "failure to utilize safety restraints" and alcohol were contributing factors.

Invented and developed by a veterinarian the Drinkwell Pet Fountain line draws on the fact that in nature, moving water is much fresher than stagnant water. The movement constantly breaks the surface tension of the water and draws oxygen from the air into the water. This process is called aeration and it makes water more appealing to drink. Pets may be drawn by instinct to moving water for this reason. The DRINKWELL® PET FOUNTAIN filters and aerates continuously moving water to keep it much fresher than standing bowl water. It satisfies the urge for running water and so helps eliminate jumping on counters in search of dripping faucets.

text: Going virtual means adapting content. Amber Finn of Texas Christian University talks in the article about how she learned to shorten her lectures and mix up her presentations to make them work better as portable media. One thing the article points out, which is often missed in this kind of coverage, is the additional costs of spoken over printed media. Given the high price of in-class instruction, whether for evening or regular University classes, I'm guessing there may be a long term savings for students despite short term cost increases.

Chembio Diagnostics Reports Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results Conference Call and Webcast Begins at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time Today NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chembio Diagnostics, Inc.(Nasdaq:CEMI), a leader in point-of-care diagnostic tests for infectious diseases, today reported financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013. Financial highlights for the 2013 second quarter include the following (all comparisons are with the 2012 second quarter): *Total revenues of $5.39 million, down 11% compared with $6.08 million *Product sales of $5.06 million, down 13% compared with $5.81 million *Operating loss of $(380,000), compared with operating income of $512,000 *Net loss of $(241,000) or $(0.03) per diluted share, compared with net income of $309,000 or $0.04 per diluted share Financial highlights for the first six months of 2013 include the following (all comparisons are with the first six months of 2012): *Total revenues of $12.07 million, down 5% compared with $12.74 million *Product sales of $11.37 million, down 7% compared with $12.17 million *Operating income of $107,000, compared with $1.23 million *Net income of $76,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with $742,000, or $0.09 per diluted share As previously reported in June, we received the single-largest purchase order in our history of $5.3 million for our HIV 1/2 STAT-PAK product, approximately $869,000 was shipped in the second quarter of 2013 Lawrence Siebert, Chembio's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The operating loss in the second quarter is primarily due to a combination of increased operating expenses, especially an increase in clinical trial expenses related to our DPP® HIV 1/2 Assay CLIA waiver study, and decreased product sales. We also made the decision to add a significant number of manufacturing personnel in the second quarter in order to meet the larger unit volumes that were anticipated for the balance of this year. Although this level of cost would not have been justified based on second quarter revenues, it was critical in order to meet current demand based on our backlog and anticipated orders. "The second quarter was marked by a number of other important milestones both for our lateral flow and our patented Dual Path Platform (DPP^®) products and technologies. In addition to the $5.3 million order mentioned above, our SURE CHECK® HIV 1/2 product received CE Mark approval from European regulators and is now cleared for commercialization within the European Union (EU). Chembio is currently working with commercialization partners in Europe for this and our other lateral flow and DPP® assays that are pending CE marking. "On the DPP HIV 1/2 Assay CLIA waiver study, we are now well on our way to completing the study and submitting our CLIA waiver application to the FDA. However enrollment is slower than planned, which will delay our FDA CLIA waiver submission from our previous estimate of July to the fourth quarter. This means that we would not reasonably expect to receive a CLIA waiver decision until early 2014. Although disappointing, we believe this kind of delay is not unusual in these circumstances. We are finalizing our launch plan and establishing our direct sales organization and distribution partners in order to be ready to commercialize this and our other products in the U.S. market beginning in 2014. "Our DPP® tests and technology have received additional validation from leading clinical, government and commercialization groups around the world," continued Siebert. "During the second quarter, Chembio executed agreements with contractors of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and another U.S. government agency to work toward the development of multiplex, rapid, point-of-care diagnostic tests for influenza and febrile illnesses. Also, Mexico's Institute of Epidemiological Diagnosis and Reference (InDRE) evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of the Chembio DPP^® HIV-Syphilis product. This multiplex test adds the syphilis marker to our recently FDA-approved DPP^® HIV 1/2 test, and should greatly strengthen the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of syphilis. In the InDRE's testing, the Chembio DPP^® HIV-Syphilis test performed with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity on all samples. We believe this is a powerful validation of the Chembio DPP^® HIV-Syphilis product that will positively influence sales worldwide. And lastly, during the second quarter Chembio entered into an international assembly and distribution agreement for the company's DPP^® products in Brazil with Labtest Diagnostica SA (Labtest), a leading diagnostics manufacturer and marketing organization. This agreement with Labtest represents a second distribution arm for Chembio's DPP® products in the sizable Brazilian point-of-care diagnostic market. We are pleased to be working with them in commercializing our technology in this important region. "We look forward to an exciting period ahead for Chembio. As we continue to serve and expand our global customer base, we are moving ever closer to entering the U.S. market with the first FDA-approved, DPP® point-of-care product, helping to save and improve lives." Second Quarter Results Total revenues for the second quarter of 2013 of $5.39 million were down 11% compared with total revenues of $6.08 million in the prior-year period. Product sales in the 2013 second quarter of $5.06 million were down 13% compared with product sales of $5.81 in the prior-year period, primarily due to declines in DPP® product sales in Brazil to FIOCRUZ, partially offset by an increase in HIV lateral flow sales. Research and development ("R&D"), milestone, grant and royalty revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased to $332,000 from $273,000 in the prior-year period. Gross margin for the 2013 second quarter decreased 11% to $2.28 million compared with $2.57 million for the prior-year period, due primarily to the lower DPP® sales and a product mix resulting in a higher cost of products sold. Product gross margin for the second quarter of 2013 decreased 15% to $1.95 million, from $2.30 million in the prior-year period. R&D expenses in the second quarter of 2013 were $1.50 million, compared with $.98 million in the prior-year period. The 2013 second quarter included $422,000 of clinical trial expenses related to our DPP® HIV 1/2 Assay CLIA waiver study, compared with $72,000 in the prior-year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2013 increased to $1.16 million from $1.08 million in the prior-year period, largely due to changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts in 2012. Operating loss for the second quarter of 2013 was ($380,000), compared with operating income of $512,000 for the prior-year period. Net loss for the second quarter of 2013 was ($241,000), or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $309,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the prior-year period. Six-Month Results Total revenues for the first six months of 2013 of $12.07 million were down 5% compared with total revenues of $12.74 million in the prior-year period. Product sales in the 2013 first six months of $11.37 million were down 7% compared with product sales of $12.17 in the prior-year period, primarily due to declines in DPP® product sales in Brazil to FIOCRUZ and partially offset by stronger sales of lateral flow technology products in South America and the U.S. Research and development ("R&D"), milestone, grant and royalty revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased to $697,000 from $563,000 in the prior-year period. Gross margin for the 2013 first six months decreased 16% to $4.98 million compared with $5.90 million for the prior-year period, due primarily to the lower DPP® sales and a product mix resulting in a higher cost of products sold. Product gross margin for the first six months of 2013 decreased 20% to $4.28 million, from $5.34 million in the prior-year period. R&D expenses in the first six months of 2013 were $2.55 million, compared with $2.36 million in the prior-year period. The 2013 first six months included $520,000 of clinical trial expenses related to our DPP® HIV 1/2 Assay CLIA waiver study, compared with $556,000 in the prior-year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first six months of 2013 increased slightly to $2.32 million from $2.31 million in the prior-year period, largely due to wages and related expenses, and other expenses partially offset by lower commissions paid on DPP® product sales to Brazil, and lower consulting fees. Operating income for the first six months of 2013 was $107,000, compared with operating income of $1,232,000 for the prior-year period. Net income for the first six months of 2013 was $76,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with net income of $742,000 or $0.09 per diluted share, for the prior-year period. Balance Sheet Highlights The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.65 million as of June 30, 2013, compared with $2.95 million as of December 31, 2012. The primary driver for this increase was net cash received from the April 2013 common stock funding of $5.40 million. Additional cash for the six months was provided from decreased accounts receivable of $927,000, and increased accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $626,000. Partially offsetting these provisions was a use of cash for increased inventories of $1.36 million in preparation to meet third quarter sales. Overall, working capital increased by $5.56 million during the second quarter to $13.19 million. The April 2013 common stock funding of $5.41 million accounted for most of this increase.

Welcome to The Pulse, the place to find out what the sports world is thinking. Every day on ESPN.com, SportsNation registers its opinion on a wide range of topics by casting votes and offering opinions. We'll collect the daily highlights and create a running file throughout the week to measure The Pulse of SportsNation on a wide variety of issues. Check this page every day for an update of what the 'Nation is saying.
Friday's Big Question
What's in store for the Atlanta Falcons in 2006?
Will Michael Vick ever become an elite passer in the NFL?
The Atlanta Falcons missed the playoffs last season after advancing to the NFC championship game in 2004, so what's in store for this year? Are Atlanta's fortunes tied solely to the performance of quarterback Michael Vick?
ESPN.com's Training Camp Tour checked in at Falcons camp Friday and found SportsNation is split on Michael Vick. Although just over half say his great mobility and play-making potential do not outweigh his merely average completion percentage and touchdown-to-interception ration, a slightly higher percentage feel Vick is still improving as his sixth season gets underway.
As for the new faces in camp, SN likes defensive end John Abraham to have the biggest impact after coming over in an offseason trade with the Jets. What does it all add up to? According to The 'Nation, it's a tough season to call, as the majority feel the Falcons will win nine or 10 games, but just over half think they'll miss the playoffs.
52% Vick's mobility and big-play potential do not outweigh his mediocre passing
55% Vick is still showing signs of improvement entering his sixth season
Which newcomer will play the biggest role this season?
73% John Abraham, DE
19% Lawyer Milloy, S
5% Jimmy Williams, CB
3% Wayne Gandy, T
The Falcons went 8-8 last season; how many games will they win this season?
52% 9-10
30% 7-8
12% 11 or more
5% 6 or fewer
Will the Falcons make the playoffs?
54% No
46% Yes
I think Michael Vick is ready for a breakout year now that all the hype is done.
Luigi (Ponce, P.R.)
Why won't the Falcons let Vick run like he did in college? They can either have a great slasher QB who makes up for his accuracy issues or a subpar passer who can't seem to find his place. Even with the threat of injury it seems wise to let the man do what he does.
Keith (Grand Rapids)
What's the over/under on which week Matt Schaub will be moved to starting QB? If that happens the Falcons would be better if Vick stayed on the field as a WR.
Sean (Charlottesville, VA)
When -- not if, but WHEN -- Michael Vick struggles again this year, he should be benched in favor of Matt Shaub.
Ronnie (San Diego)
The Falcons getting Abraham from the Jets improves their defense, definitely. Yet they are still undersized and need to figure out how to they counter an opponet who's going to run on them all day.
Anthony (NYC)
What about the Falcons' D? I think we could be looking at a drastically improved unit. Also, is there a DB in the league you'd rather start your defense with than DeAngelo Hall?
JD (Nashville)
Falcons will win 10 and get into the playoffs, where they will pull off at least one big upset. Mark it down.
Jamal (ATL)
Thursday's Big Questions
1. Are you surprised Floyd Landis failed a drug test?
2. Are the Eagles a playoff team?
How tainted is Floyd Landis' Tour de France win after a failed drug test?
Floyd Landis won many fans with his inspiring Tour de France win, overcoming a degenerative hip condition and riding with a hip that will be replaced in the very near future while storming from behind in Stage 17 of the Tour to reclaim the yellow jersey before a triumphant final ride through Paris.
But now comes news that Landis tested positive for a high testosterone/epitestosterone ratio after that comeback in Stage 17 and has been suspended by his Swiss-based Phonak team. He has asked for a test of his secondary "B" sample that could confirm or refute the original test. SportsNation is already convinced, though, that the man from a Mennonite family in Pennsylvania Dutch country used a banned substance.
Two-thirds of the 'Nation believes the reports of the positive test and more than 70 percent would no longer find his struggles against that degenerative him admirable if he did boost his performance with testosterone.
This story, of course, follows years of allegations against fellow American Lance Armstrong, winner of the previous seven Tour de France races. But a positive test for Landis would definitely not make SN any more likely to belive Armstrong was ever guilty of doping.
66% Believe reports that Landis tested positive for high levels of testosterone
71% Would not consider Landis' struggle with a degenerative hip admirable if he used banned substances
70% Would not be more likely to believe allegations against Lance Armstrong because of a positive test for Landis
70% Do not believe the allegations against Armstrong
Why haven't we heard boo from Floyd Landis himself? The silence to me implies guilt. And I don't want to think that.
Alex (Atlanta)
Why don't they just let cyclist use steroids since it's apparent that most of them do anyway? Might as well stop promoting the "he who has the best doctors to hide the drugs will be the champion" model.
Jim (Florida)
After all these years and testing snafus, I find it hard to believe that all the positive and even negative tests are valid. The ability of a fan to trust athletes is about as shaky as trusting the governing bodies.
Jon '94 (Edina, MN)
All cyclists do steroids, give us a break. Its really not that big of a deal to many fans. It doesn't give you heart, which is what Lance and Floyd have. You can't shoot drive and heart into your behind.
Eric (Alabama)
If Landis wanted to cheat he could have gotten away with it. It seems the results of the test do not make much sense with Landis having low testosterone levels but a high ratio of 11/1.
Dave (Los Angeles, CA)
Everyone is asking the wrong question here. The question should be, "Is it medically possible for a human to increase his testosterone level in putting forth a massive effort, full of rage (at himself and his situation) and emotion, to a point that could test above the normal level?" I think it does Floyd, le Tour, and cycling as a whole a disservice to assume the worst without all the information. I, for one, want to hear expert opinions on that subject before I will draw my conclusions. I have heard no one say, "Wait, there may be another side to these results."
Steve (Seattle)
Who will be catching Donovan McNabb's passes this year?
Philadelphia is the next stop on ESPN.com's Training Camp Tour and there is plenty to talk about as the Eagles prepare for the season.
First and foremost is the fallout from last season's Terrell Owens-Donovan McNabb drama. Owens is now catching passes in Dallas and while his name still evokes emotions in Philly, SportsNation says McNabb still has the respect of his teammates for the way he handled the situation.
But who will fill the void left on the field after Owens' departure? SN gives the nod to second-year wideout Reggie Brown, who finished with 43 catches last season, but also likes Brian Westbrook's chances to be the Eagles' best pass-catcher this season after tying for the team lead with 61 receptions last year.
Some also wonder if the window of opportunity has closed for an Eagles team that played in four straight NFC championship games from 2001-04 and went to Super Bowl XXXIX following the '04 season. The 'Nation doesn't think so and a majority sees the Eagles in the playoffs this season. In all, 60 percent of SN thinks Philadelphia will win at least nine games this season.
Has Donovan McNabb lost any of the respect of his teammates?
53% Not at all
40% A little
7% A lot
Who will be Philadelphia's best pass catcher?
44% Reggie Brown
33% Brian Westbrook
19% L.J. Smith
4% Todd Pinkston
60% The window has not closed on the Eagles
54% The Eagles will make the playoffs
The Eagles went 6-10 last season; how many games will they win this season?
35.4% 9-10
30.2% 7-8
24.0% 11 or more
10.4% 6 or fewer
McNabb is a stand-up guy and he'll lead his team back from the abyss. You can pencil in 10 wins and a big rebound from Donovan.
Mike (Texas)
Why is the media picking the Cowboys, Redskins, And Giants over the Eagles when we are the same Super Bowl team from two years ago, just without T.O.?
John (Ohio)
If Andy Reid leads the team to another subpar finish I think it's time to think about going in another direction. They've fallen just short too many times.
Thomas (Wilkes Barre, PA)
Isn't this the same team that went to the NFC championship game two years in a row with Todd Pinkston and James Thrash at WR. What's the difference now?
Hojo (Tampa)
Given that the Eagles have upgraded their WR corps (relative to pre-T.O. squads) and added great depth to both lines, how can people constantly predict them to finish in the cellar of the NFC East?
Drew (NY)
Just let me say how much I love the fact that the Eagles are flying under the radar this year and how wrong you all will be when they're on top of the division!
Matt (Philly)
Wednesday's Big Questions
1. Which team will win the AL wild card spot?
2. What's in store for the Oakland Raiders?
Johan Santana and the Twins are charging hard in the American League.
Things are getting tight in the American League wild card race. The Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night -- the Twins' 33rd win their last 41 games and the 11th loss in the last 14 for Chicago -- to pull within one game of Chicago in the wild card race.
The injury-plagued Yankees are even closer, sitting just a half-game back of the Sox, while their AL East counterparts in Toronto are only 3.5 game back. SportsNation took a look at all four teams and decided the White Sox are the strongest of the wild card contenders right now. More than 40 percent of the 'Nation favors Chicago with the Twins and Yankees trailing by significant margins.
Both the White Sox and Yankees have been mentioned as possibilities to trade for Washington left fielder Alfonso Soriano and SN thinks either team would do well to acquire the speedy outfielder with the big bat. More than 80 percent would rather have Soriano than Bobby Abreu, the other big-name outfielder on the trading block.
Which of these teams is the strongest?
42% Chicago White Sox
29% Minnesota Twins
21% New York Yankees
7% Toronto Blue Jays
If you could add either player, whom would you choose for the playoff push?
83% Bobby Abreu
17% Alfonso Soriano
White Sox are in a rut but the pitching should come around. The offense will be fine, and if Soriano comes to town the Tigers better look out.
Josh (Chi-town)
Here come the Twins. The Yanks better hope they can keep winning to hold them off in the WC chase.
Alex (Atlanta)
The White Sox can't buy a win. Forget Soriano, we need to do something about this rotation.
Dan (Chicago)
Yankees are STUDS! With all the injuries and "terrible" pitching staff, they are .5 game out of the wild card.
Gene (NJ)
The Twins seriously need another bat in the lineup. Carlos Lee would be a perfect fit to bath clean up between Mauer and Morneau.
Brian (Canby, MN)
Blue Jays are getting some guys back from injury (Chacin, Rios) and that should help. But they don't have enough horses beyond Halladay and Wells to get into the playoffs.
Justin (NYC)
Art Shell is back in black and silver for the first time since 1994..
ESPN.com's Training Camp Tour kicked off on Wednesday with a look at the Oakland Raiders, who opened camp with a new coach, a new quarterback and plenty of questions.
The biggest is whether second-time coach Art Shell, who guided the Raiders to 56 wins from 1989-94, was the right choice to take over a team that limped to 13 wins in the last three season and was in need of a dose of discipline.
SportsNation has little doubt about that and also thinks new quarterback Aaron Brooks is the clear choice over second-year man Andrew Walter. SN gives Shell little chance to lead the team to the playoffs this season, though, with nearly 70 percent saying the Raiders are a .500 team or worse.
88% Art Shell is the right coach for the Raiders
80% Aaron Brooks should start at QB
70% The Raiders will not make the playoffs
The Raiders went 4-12 last season; how many games will they win this season?
42% 7-8
29% 9-10
24% 6 or fewer
5% 11 or more
You know Jon Gruden isn't coming back to Oakland so Art Shell is the next best thing. And he's a true Raider from back in the day, so he brings plenty of credibility.
David (California)
Shell's discipline, Brooks slinging to Randy Moss, an improved defense. Pretty good formula for Oakland but the Raiders are in too tough a division to make the playoffs just yet.
Jonathan (Arizona)
Art Shell should never have been fired in the first place. Rehiring him is the best move the Raiders have made in years.
Chuck (Los Angeles)
Huff, Bing, Morrison. Three names to watch on that defense this year and in years to come. If they have an immediate impact this could be a team to watch.
Matt (Boise, Idaho)
Brooks is too inconsistent and Moss will get sick of his erratic throws. Looks like LaMont Jordan will be on his own again this year.
Terrell (Washington, D.C.)
Nothing is going to chance for the Raiders until Al Davis stops his meddling and gets out. The dude is older than dirt and shouldn't be making decisions.
Tyler (San Francisco)
Tuesday's Big Questions
1. Which NFL QBs are under the gun?
2. Which new head coach is facing big pressure?
SN wonders if Chad Pennington can return to form in New York.
It's training camp time in the NFL and there are plenty of questions to be answered before the regular season starts.
With 10 new head coaches taking over, big-name quarterbacks coming off injury, running back competitions galore and Terrell Owens joining the Cowboys, things are already getting interesting in the NFL. September will be here before you know it and SportsNation started preparations for camp by looking at two of the biggest stories heading into the dog days of summer.
There has been plenty of shifting at the quarterback position in the offseason, beginning with Drew Brees leaving San Diego for New Orleans and Philip Rivers stepping into the void. A third of the 'Nation thinks Rivers is the biggest question mark among QB heading into camp, but slightly more think Chad Pennington and his arm concerns are more of an unknown than Rivers. Very few doubt Brees will succeed with the Saints.
As for the new coaches, seven of the 10 are first-time hires but SN says a pair of second-chance coaches is facing the most pressure. Herman Edwards left the Jets for a Kansas City team many expect to contend for the AFC crown and more than 40 percent of SportsNation thinks he is under the most pressure heading into camp, but one-fourth of voters think Art Shell is the choice in his second tenure with the Raiders.
Which quarterback is facing the biggest question mark heading into training camp?
37% Chad Pennington, Jets
34% Philip Rivers, Chargers
17% Daunte Culpepper, Dolphins
8% Rex Grossman, Bears
5% Drew Brees, Saints
Which new coach is under the most pressure heading into training camp?
41% Herm Edwards, Chiefs
25% Art Shell, Raiders
20% Eric Mangini, Jets
11% Brad Childress, Vikings
2% Scott Linehan, Rams
Pennington vs. Ramsay in New York. Which one gets the job of making Jets fans wish they had drafted Leinart?
Jeff (New York)
Philip Rivers over Drew Brees? Is Marty serious?
Justin (Blacksburg)
Culpepper. Will he be the 2004 Daunte or 2005 Daunte? If he is '04 Daunte, the Dolphins will give the Pats a run for their money. if not the Pats win the division easily.
Charles (SuperBurgh)
How long will Herm Edwards be smiling in Kansas City?
Can Rex Grossman make it through training camp and the preseason healthy, because everyone in Chicago is calling him the golden boy for the Bears and if he can lead a DECENT offense, the defense will be able to carry this team to the playoffs.
Matt "The Intern" (Chicago)
What about Drew Brees in N.O.? He is a million times better than Brooks. Biggest upgrade of the offseason at the QB position.
Cliff (Philly)
Herm better focus on that defense if the Chiefs are going to live up to the hype.
Angel (KC)
Edwards left a team with few expectations for one with huge expectations. Better step up and get it done with all that talent.
Mike (Alpena, MI)
KC should make a run deep into the playoffs. New head coach who can win, same high octane offence that can score at will, Ty Law gives the secondary some respect and D.J. will be a manimal in his second year! The AFC goes through KC this year!
Greg (Dallas)
Art Shell is a Raider at heart going back there after Al Davis fired him once. Think there's a little pressure on him this time around, too?
Eric (Palo Alto)
Forget about the QB and coaching situations for the Jets. Who is going to run the ball effectively?!?!
Chad (NY
Childress will feel some heat if he doesn't have a good early showing, especially after he badmouthed Daunte during the offseason.
Dave (Twin Cities)
Monday's Big Question
Tiger the most dominant ever?
Emotions bubbled over for Tiger after his British Open win.
Tiger Woods won the British Open for the third time last weekend, once again squashing all other contenders and so-called rivals while capturing the 11th major title of his career. Had the moment not been tinged with grief as Tiger remembered his recently deceased father with uncharacteristic emotion, it might have been just another day at the office for the world's best golfer.
Woods is now tied with Walter Hagen for the second-most major titles of all time and trails only Jack Nicklaus' 18 on list of major winners. And despite being second on the list SportsNation says Tiger is already the most dominant golfer of all time. Lapping the field in the U.S. Open, posting record scores at the Masters and the British Open and fighting off strong challenges at the PGA Championship will get you that kind of cred. Jack had to compete with Palmer and Watson but no one has been able to touch Tiger.
The 'Nation doesn't think that makes him the most dominant athlete of this generation, though. Apparently golf doesn't measure up to basketball (Michael Jordan), baseball (Barry Bonds) or hockey (Wayne Gretzky). Heck, throw cycling in there, too. Better than 60 percent of SN thinks Floyd Landis' win in the Tour de France, coming from behind with an arthritic hip that will be replaced in the very near future, is more impressive than Tiger's showing at Royal Liverpool.
71% Tiger Woods is already the most dominant golfer of all time
59% Tiger Woods is not the greatest athlete of this generation
62% Floyd Landis winning the Tour de France is more impressive than Tiger winning the British Open
Give it up for the Americans in Europe!!!
Kevin (ATL)
How often does someone actually live up to hype? Jack Nicklaus was 32 when he won his 11th major, Tiger is still only 30. Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest golfer of all time!
Matt (Fairfax)
There were questions about Tiger after the U.S. Open and then he methodically breaks down the course and the rest of the field. On top of that he cries and hugs everyone. Real emotion from an unreal player. He is really hard to dislike now.
Mike (Cohoes)
Floyd Landis and his bum hip took home the Tour de France title.
Jack, Arnie and Watson were all great players. But none of them destroyed all other challengers like Tiger does. The guy might win 30 majors before it's all over.
Will (Michigan)
Too bad sports is almost devoid of the kind of true emotion Tiger showed on Sunday. Here's to him and his father!
Walter (Athens, Ga.)
Tiger is to golf what Jordan was to basketball. Everyone has to measure up to him. But Michael takes the cake over Eldrick in the big picture.
David (Los Angeles)
Tiger is back and is maybe the best golfer of all time. Still, I'm more impressed with guys like Jordan and Bonds (despite the rumors) since they actually had to, you know, run and shoot and throw and pass.
Paul (Connecticut)
Tiger is the greatest golfer of all time but he's not the Great One. No player dominated his game like Gretzky. Even Jordan.
McD (Philly)
I understand the love for Tiger and his emotional story, but what about Floyd Landis? The guy blazes from behind and wins the Tour de France on a bum hip that will soon be an artificial hip? Takes more guts than winning a golf tournament.
Mike (Long Island)
Landis had the greatest comeback in TDF history. Yes, he had a meltdown, but when the critics made fun of him he fought back, shoved it in their faces and won the whole thing. USA-USA-USA! Go Landis!
Dougie Fresh (DC)
Great day for Americans in Europe. Tiger wins an emotional Open, Landis continues the American dominance of the Tour. Let's celebrate them both!

Chart Watch Extra: "Thriller" Turns 30
It's hard to believe, but Friday marks the 30th anniversary of the release of Michael Jackson's Thriller, an album that appealed to all audiences—all ages, races and nationalities—like few other recordings in music history.
Jackson and producer Quincy Jones recorded and mixed the album between April and November 1982. Jones was 49 at the time. Jackson turned 24 during the sessions. The production budget was a reported $750K, which means Epic Records got a pretty good rate of return on its investment.
Thriller doesn't remotely sound 30 years old. Its best cuts, including "Billie Jean" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," still sound fresh and vital.
Happily, Jackson lived to see the album meet the test of time. In 2008, the album was voted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. That same year, a 25th anniversary edition became the second best-selling album in the U.S. for two weeks, a rarity for a catalog album. Also that year, Rihanna's "Don't Stop The Music" (which sampled "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'") became a #3 hit, Fall Out Boy's "Beat It" (featuring John Mayer) made the top 20 and David Cook sang "Billie Jean" in route to his victory on American Idol.
To mark the anniversary, here are some things you probably know about Thriller—and some you may not.
You probably know: Thriller was the first album to produce seven top 10 singles on Billboard's Hot 100.
You may not know: Just two albums have since matched Thriller's record of seven top 10 hits: Bruce Springsteen's Born In The U.S.A. and Janet Jackson's Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814. Janet, who was then a 16-year old newcomer to recording, sings background vocals on "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)."
You probably know: Eddie Van Halen, then 27, played the killer guitar solo on "Beat It."

ST: Shaping a Cardassian - "Strength Without Sacrifice is Useless"
View Single Post
February 18 2011, 01:50 PM
Gul Re'jal
Location: Gul Re'jal is suspecting she's on the wrong space station
Re: ST: Shaping a Cardassian - "Strength Without Sacrifice is Useless"
"Have you found an excuse to your coup yet?"
Glinn Borad wasn't sure he heard correctly. He looked up over his half-emptied plate to see that Legate Jarol was in the middle of her dinner just a table away—how could he not have noticed her over there before!—and Captain Ronus standing by her table and looking at her.
Did the Trill really ask Jarol what Borad thought he did? The glinn's eyes went to the legate's face. However, she did not seem furious. In fact, she seemed amused.
"Should I?" she asked eventually, gesturing to a chair and inviting the Trill to sit down.
Borad swallowed and put another bite into his mouth but his indifference was not genuine. He hoped his ears didn't perk as he started to eavesdrop to the conversation that started at the next table.
"I thought you need to justify everything," Ronus said, sitting and waving to a waiter.
"I'm long past caring to justify anything."
"Your position doesn't require to explain anything to anyone." It was not a question, it was a statement.
"On the contrary." She shook her head. "As a legate I had to answer to billions of people throughout Cardassia."
"So why lack of care?"
"I'm too old to worry what everyone thinks of me
." She shrugged.
"You're not old." His lips stretched in a smile.
"Said three hundred years old Trill," she replied smiling, too.
"So, what's the excuse?"
"All right." She put her fork away and thought for a moment. "We didn't break any laws because there were no laws on Cardassia at that time. Unless you count Dominion laws and believe me, better don't."
"But weren't there elections earlier? Some rules had to regulate them."
"Federation laws," she shrugged and picked her fork up.
"Ouch. To be compared to the Dominion."
"You came to our home and wanted to force us to adopt your rules."
"At least we didn't force you to accept non-Cardassians as your rulers." Ronus smiled innocently.
Jarol chuckled. "Once, shortly after the war, I had talked to one of relief co-ordinators from the Federation. You know what he told me? That I should put my arrogance into my pocket, shut up and do what he said because he
"And what did you say?"
"That I had heard that before, the same thing, from someone else. She had long, wrinkled ears but exactly the same, slime smile."
"And what did he say?"
"He was insulted. And rightly so!"
"So, would you be able to put your arrogance away for the good of Cardassia?"
"I'm a Cardassian, it's my job to be arrogant."
Borad didn't know how to interpret Ronus's smile, but it seemed to be an amused one.
"You didn't answer my question," the Trill pressed.
She looked at him and her relaxed face expression was replaced by a serious one. "Captain, if it served Cardassia, I'd take my armour off, tie my hands with a rope and give myself in disgrace as a prisoner to the Federation. Or the Bajorans." She smirked. "But not to the Klingons and certainly not to the Dominion."
"How about the Romulans?"
"Only if I get a ride on that D'Deridex class warbird. Always wanted to visit one."
Borad was astonished. He knew Jarol had a reputation of a difficult woman. In a way he dreaded serving under her command, but shortly after she had arrived to the station he discovered that as a superior she was a fair and a good soldier. Still, he wouldn't dare to touch some subjects with her. There was a kind of aura around her, an aura of power, the said arrogance, stubbornness and an impression that she considered herself infallible. At the same time her command of the Unionese language left a lot of be desired, she openly sought advices from her officers and was able to change her mind if the offered information justified it. He knew it was possible to make her withdraw some orders or change her mind. He wouldn't dare himself, but he heard rumours that Gul Brenok could do everything he wanted with her.
And now he could observe that Federation Trill, who asked his outrageous questions, and she was...laughing. They teased each other. Joked. And she didn't seem to want to execute him. Would anyone else be that lucky? And why this Trill?
Or maybe all that he knew was only a façade? Armour to cover what was inside, to shield a
that was not protected by a layer of scales? Then again, why would this man deserve to see what's under that armour? Or was it just because she treated him as an equal: a commander to a commander, a gul to a captain; but she was grade four, an admiral by Federation standards!
She shot a glance at him and suddenly he realised that she was aware of his eavesdropping; it sent a cold shiver down his spine. He lowered his head and tried to concentrate on his meal. So much for a softer side of his gul; she was made of steel and that's the only thing he should remember.
"Why couldn't you let the legitimate government continue to rule Cardassia?" Ronus asked. "Maybe they just needed more time to learn how to do it."
Jarol smirked and it wasn't a nice face expression. "When the Klingons invaded Cardassia in the year 504...2371," she added, seeing confusion on the Trill's face, "it was shortly after the Detapa Council took over. Civilians. Cardassia was weak and that political turmoil made it even weaker. Vulnerable. The military was pushed away and the civilians started to make big decisions. In a wartime at that. The war was a disaster, we were taking a beating and the Klingons seemed unstoppable. But one day something changed. We had acquired detailed intelligence on Klingon fleet's movements, armaments and even plans. That could have changed everything, I mean everything. We would know where and when to strike to be effective.
"What did the Detapa Council do? Nothing. They refused to regroup and plan a counter-attack. They wanted to
." She spat the last word. "The Klingons were slaughtering their people and they wanted to talk! The Klingons don't talk, they fight and that's the only language they understand. We, Cardassians, can talk everyone to their deaths, but we can't talk to anything people that sink their knives in the middle of our speeches." Ronus smiled slightly. "We were losing and the civilians refused to use something that would give us an advantage.
"After the war the Federation posed many demands, including limiting our military. The demand was so ridiculous that I couldn't believe it was for real at first. I am not sure the Federation didn't do it just for a show, to get refused and demand something else instead. But Ghemor
to that nonsense. He agreed to leave us vulnerable. He was not much better than the civilian government of 504. He would prepare us for conquest and then someone would come and wipe out the Cardassian Union!
"We couldn't allow that. We couldn't afford to give him a chance. His mistakes were too dangerous to let him continue. We had to act and we did. You may claim it was wrong, it may not agree with your perfect Federation conscience, but we still are free people and we are growing stronger every year. Thanks to that bold move, not in spite of it.
"So, you'll forgive me if I don't feel guilty about it. I believed it was the right thing to do twenty years ago and I still do now. Borad!" The glinn jumped in his seat. "Would you prefer a civilian or military rule on Cardassia?"
"Military," he answered without hesitation.
A slime smirk appeared on the legate's face. "Why?" she asked slowly.
"The military brought order to Cardassia. The Federation tried to introduce their chaotic, no offence," he added looking at Ronus who nodded and smiled, "their chaotic political system. Ghemor was clearly not up to this task and while someone else could be, the military's structure is clear and stable. Our rebuilding process had to start from cleaning and the military order assured that this cleaning process proceeded neatly."
"Would you like the civilians to take over now, when it's cleaned?" Jarol asked.
Borad's memory returned to 504. He had been on duty when the armed civilians had attacked the Central Command building. He had heard them in the corridor outside, storming into each Order's command centre. For some reason the rooms were in reverse order and the Twelfth Order's chamber was the first one, then the Eleventh's and so on with the First's at the end. Borad, working in the Second Order command centre had heard the noise nearing and had known there had been no way he could do anything about it. He had only ordered all officers to lock the consoles and waited.
They had been given orders not to shoot.
And then the civilians had come. Armed with clubs and fists, some had had phasers, undoubtedly stolen from soldiers. Borad had never taken such a beating as that day. It had been a matter of seconds when the mob had flattened him on the floor and kept kicking. He had woken up in a hospital and had never learned what else happened in the Central Command building that terrible day, or who had saved his life—he was certain that if not someone's intervention, the angry mob would beat him to death.
"No," he answered Jarol's question in a strong and firm voice.
"Convinced?" she asked Ronus.
"For some reason, yes," the captain replied, observing the glinn. Then, his eyes returned to Jarol. "However, I am not so convinced I'd get the same reply from a civilian."
"I'm afraid I don't have many here to offer you to ask them the question."
"That's ok," the Trill smiled.

I have two Continental Presta tubes whose removable valve cores were blown to bits by my Lezyne screw-on pump chuck. I do not want to throw these tubes away, and I am about to spend about $12 on a 10-pack Vittoria removable presta valve core card.
My question is: Will the Vittoria removable presta heads fit my Continental tubes?
I am thinking they should.

Ben Uri Statement on Looted Art FindPosted by Administrator | 5th November 2013
On November 5th a hoard of looted art, discovered in a Munich apartment, was made known to the public. David Glasser, Chief Executive and Chair of Ben Uri, comments:
The authorities at last week's meeting agreed to "push ahead at a considerably faster pace" in investigating the provenance of artworks in the collection, Seibert said.
Jewish groups and heirs' representatives have expressed frustration that provenance researcher Meike Hoffmann of Berlin's Free University is the only art historian investigating the haul since it was seized 18 months ago.
It is reported from the press conference that the Bavarian Tax authorities explain their decision not to release the news of this extraordinary discovery before now by stating that they had to and continue to investigate – presumably in private.
Today they say that those works that can be proved to have been stolen from people or institutions outside Germany may be the subject of restitution claims BUT if stolen within Germany they cannot, and the art is the property of the state.
They say they will continue not to publish the images and details of the works, and that families and museums have to register a detailed claim without any knowledge of the works!
It's 'provide a death certificate from the death camps to prove death and we will pay the insurance' all over again!
Art museums (of which there are many in Munich) could, with say six registrars/curators, have prepared an initial full inventory including high resolution images and public provenance from gallery and exhibition labels for the 1400 works in around six weeks maximum. This list could have been checked in another few weeks against the top four extensively recorded lists of missing art works/claims including 'lostart.de' which is based locally.
Eight weeks was all it needed to make public the discovery – thereby alerting the relevant families that it is likely that one of their heirlooms has been discovered, and bringing some closure to a 75-year-old wound, and inviting new information for the other works.
I ask the Bavarian authorities, why this was not adopted?
I further ask the State Legislature to explain where the justice is – where the moral principle of 'right' and 'wrong' is, if the understanding is correct that if the artwork was stolen in Germany ownership transfers to the state?
This is a huge opportunity for the Bavarian authorities to demonstrate a moral leadership where the rights of the person should take equal if not greater priority than those of the state. It appears to be an opportunity lost
Ben Uri Update, 6 November
We have responded to many press enquiries and our curators have been interviewed on 4 separate channels. We wanted to share with you, the latest news, views and contact points as this extraordinary happening will, we fear, run and run before the correct moral and, given the Washington Principles in 1998 and the Terezin Declaration in 2009, legal conclusions are reached.
Ben Uri has been actively involved in this most complex of issues for some 7 years through conferences, seminars and touring worldwide Auktion 392, Reclaiming the Galerie Stern, Dusseldorf which tells the story of the late art dealer, Dr Max Stern, the forced sale of his artwork at Lempertz Auktion House in Cologne and the remarkable efforts of the Stern Estate led by Dr Clarence Epstein of Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, to find and then have found works from his large collection restituted.
This exhibition is currently showing at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum on the campus of Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. For details see http://www.rollins.edu/cfam/exhibitions/fall2013.html.
The complexity of the subject as a whole - never mind this extraordinary revelation in Munich - cannot be over-stated.
Rather than try to explain please see two Ben Uri films, of interviews and seminars: one from London Talking art: Howard Spiegler on Nazi-looted art and the other (also viewable below) from Florida Nazi-Looted Art: Unfinished Business seminar only 6 weeks ago (17 Sep 2013).
For current regularly updated news we direct you to the website of The Commission for Looted Art in Europe www.lootedart.com. The commission operates out of London and is an authority on the subject as a whole and first class at regularly updating the sector. You can sign up for email updates free of charge.
Ben Uri's position is a mix of detail and big picture issues. Looted Art is an accepted crime - ignored by society for over 50 years until the Washington conference initiated by Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat in 1998 - then the 'crime' became a moral issue of principal and restitution throughout the majority of the international community.
We question the wisdom, appropriateness and moral position of the Bavarian Tax authority's position in relation to:
1) Why keep their investigations secret for well over a year?
2) Why have they not contacted those who have recorded claims on those works listed in the numerous lists around the world including the local Munich based www.lostart.de.
3) It would have taken a small team of museum professionals a month to create a top line inventory with images - why has it not been published?
4) Why let survivors or their heirs possibly die in ignorance of their family heirlooms being discovered?
5) Why fear the inevitable rush of claims - set up a small admin team to handle or arrange with www.lostart.de to handle?
6) How can their stated policy have any moral basis- that IF the artwork was looted from within Germany the art belongs to the State but if stolen outside then restitution claims will be considered?
It is worth remembering that many of the artists currently showing at Ben Uri's 'Uproar!' exhibition would, like Hans Feibusch, have been forced to flee irrespective of their religion as condemned as Degenerate if the Nazis had occupied Great Britain.

stays a little too longThis foundation is the longest-lasting I've ever used, however, you'll need a heavy-duty scrub and astringent to remove it! — 7 years, 9 months agoblondeinnebraska | 53 reviews
wish I had more for my buckWhile this is one of the best foundations out there, it is a tad on the expensive side. I have 4 children and while I would love to stock up, I often tend to go for the cheaper, less effective foundations for cost only. I do recommend this product if you have the money to spend on it :) — 7 years, 9 months agomaxsmommy1020 | 4 reviews
I love itWith oily skin, it stays on all day and keeps my face from shining. It does not crack up or dry out my face. Being hispanic, it blends well with my complexion and it just awesome. — 7 years, 9 months agosolodiamondgirl | 4 reviews
NOT TOO GOODBEING AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN, IT IS HARD TO FIND THE RIGHT FOUNDATION FOR THIS TYPE OF SKIN "OVER THE COUNTER." WAS IN A BIND AND BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT IN COLOR MOCHA. COLOR WAS PERFECT BUT THE OVERALL USE FOR NORMAL ACTIVITY WAS NOT GOOD. IT LEFT MINOR BURNS/SPLOTCHES ON MY FACE. WHEN THE FOUNDATION WAS WASHED OFF, I COULD PEAL SKIN OFF MY FACE. I TRIED BUT WILL HAVE TO GO BACK TO DEPT. STORE OR INDEPENDANT SELLERS (MARY KAY). — 7 years, 10 months agoJAYLO1962 | 3 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

UBS: Profit up 15% despite finesComment on this story
LEADING Swiss bank UBS turned in a strong profit performance in the second quarter, but highlighted yesterday the stark risks financial institutions faced from campaigns by tax and regulatory bodies. UBS, reporting a 15 percent net profit rise, revealed that it had settled a tax dispute this month in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia with a payment of slightly more than e300 million (R4.2 billion). The payment follows investigations of UBS clients suspected of using the bank to evade taxes. It is also being investigated in Baden-Württemberg. The bank said it had made a provision of Sf120 million (R1.4bn) for the dispute in Germany and had put aside Sf254m for litigation and disputes. – Sapa-AFP

Flying out for vacation the afternoon of the 26th barring any delay or cancellation from prometric in my test date (crossing fingers and hoping that it works out). Is this '"ok'"?

text: I found a local listing offering jerseys, bibs, rain gear and assorted stuff at $ 5:00 a pop. I bought some 3/4 knicker bibs, hat and a few jerseys. I was wondering if anyone ever uses the longer bibs during summer or they used mostly in late fall and spring. Should I leave the thin padding in or keep it for protection from elements.
