Marcia Davis: Walk along waterfront reveals many species
A walk along the waterfront at Oak Ridge's Haw Ridge Park offers a great opportunity to see some fascinating birds that live and nest along Melton Hill Lake's shoreline.
The Melton Hill Lake Greenway trail leading to Haw Ridge Park leaves a parking lot on Melton Hill Drive across from Centennial Bluff Lifestyle Community. As you walk the paved trail downhill and beneath the Edgemore Road (Tenn. Hwy. 170) bridge across Melton Hill Lake, watch for great blue herons, ospreys, Canada geese, mallards, belted kingfishers and swallows over the water. Check trees on your right for songbirds.
Pause after walking under the bridge. Turn around. Look up and to the right at mud pellet cliff swallow nests plastered against the top of a green beam. Nests are shaped like a gourd or igloo. Man-made bridges and dams — with vertical surfaces plus overhangs for nest attachment — allow colonial nesting cliff swallows to move into new areas and thrive on flying-insect food.
Continue along the trail. Check the osprey nest to the right. It's high on a power transmission tower — another man-made structure used by birds.
As you walk the boardwalk with water on both sides, examine any low-flying swallows for cinnamon-red rumps that identify cliff swallows. Check shoreline rocks and logs in the water for turtles and birds. I saw a migrant spotted sandpiper on a log in this area.
Across the grassy, marshy wetlands to your right you'll see brushy habitat close to the far shoreline with taller trees in the background. Check the trees for orchard orioles and eastern kingbirds. These birds of open country routinely nest near each other along shorelines.
Black and white kingbirds with white tail bands are conspicuous as they fly or perch in the open. Orchard orioles may be harder to see unless you learn their location by recognizing the clear, loud, whistled song. " Look here, what cheer, wee yo, what cheer, whip yo, what cheer!"
Across the wetlands from the boardwalk, I saw a yellow-green female oriole carrying pieces of grass to a tree for nest-building. A chestnut red and black adult-plumaged male sang nearby. A yellow-green one-year-old male with a black throat patch was also singing. Year-old males sing, court, and mate even though they lack adult breeding plumage.
Shorter brushy plants on the far wetlands' shoreline are home to white-eyed vireos, common yellowthroats, song sparrows, and red-winged blackbirds. The red-wings and song sparrows are conspicuous. You'll have to allow some listening time — maybe a lot of time — to pinpoint exact locations of vireos and yellowthroats hidden in the brush.
A yellowthroat's song is easy to recognize — even if you've never heard it before. "Wichity, wichity, wich." One of Tennessee's most abundant nesting warblers, this greenish-yellow skulker often climbs up into full view revealing a bright yellow throat and conspicuous black facial mask.
Very vocal white-eyed vireos chatter "Quick-with-the-beer-check" — or some similar fussy song. You'll hear one before you see it. They skulk in the bushes and stay hidden. It takes time and patience to view this tiny yellow-green bird with a white eye, yellow eye ring, and white wing bars.
There are many other birds along the waterfront section of the trail. About a mile from the parking lot the trail curves right, leaves the shoreline, and enters the woods. Look left for a box with maps showing hiking and mountain biking trails in Haw Ridge Park. On an early morning bird walk, you can easily spend an hour and a half (round trip) on just the waterfront section of this easy, mostly-flat, paved walking trail.

A timbo is a sexual position unparalleled in greatness. It occurs when a man is lying down on a bed and a woman mounts his member. She then places a firm grip on an above-hanging ceiling fan, as the fan spins, the woman will spin also. She maintains intercourse while spinning, which causes extreme pleasure for both parties.
Yo me and my girl were going at it all night long. I hit that shit doggy style, missionary, but when she grabbed that ceiling fan for the timbo, I couldn't hold back and popped right in that.

University of California, Berkeley
Not many years ago, both the study of animal learning and of the reality and nature of cognitive processes in animals were at the center of psychology. Learning theorists held that principles of learning were sufficiently general that an understanding of the choice behavior of rats, pigeons, and monkeys in mazes and lever boxes would provide keys to the understanding of mental life and behavior in general including, of course, that of humans. The pervasiveness of this belief is too widely known to require documentation beyond noting the titles of the works by the dominant theorists of the time, such as Hull Principles of Behavior ( 1943), Tolman Purposive Behavior in Animals and Man ( 1932), and Skinner Behavior of Organisms ( 1938).
Sometime between 1955 and 1965 a revolution occurred in experimental psychology. Suddenly, the number of papers on human cognition increased dramatically and, although the number of papers in animal learning did not decrease, the central impact of this research on the field as a whole rapidly declined. This change reflected, in part, a decline of faith in the assumption that the nature of the human mind could be revealed by the study of rats' behavior in mazes.
Since the late 1970s, however, a part of the field of animal learning has developed into the study of cognition in animals and has undergone a renaissance. Roitblat, Bever, and Terrace ( 1984), in the preface to a collection of works in this area, date the beginning of this development as 1976, the year that a conference was held on cognitive processes in animals ( Hulse, Fowler, & Honig, 1978). In this chapter, we comment on three issues associated with this renaissance, all of which are concerned with the justification of research on cognition

Anniston Army Depot announces release plan for term and temporary workforce
March 15, 2012
By Anniston Army Depot Public Affairs
ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- With the completion of the war in Iraq and the declining need for the repair of its military equipment, Anniston Army Depot announced the need to begin aligning its workforce with the declining workload.
In a news release, dated Jan 18, 2012, the depot stated it "is not expecting to renew its temporary and term workforce appointments scheduled to expire in fiscal year 2012. Individuals affected will be released based on workload requirements. The first release of temporary and term employees will not occur earlier than March 30, 2012."
Over the next seven months, approximately 480 employees with not-to-exceed dates ranging from March 30 through September 30 will be released as their appointments expire.
"This decision is based solely on workload," said Depot Commander Col. Timothy Sullivan. "It is a difficult time in our history, but the decision to rightsize the workforce is necessary in order to strengthen the installation for the long-term."
During the last 18 months, the depot has taken several steps to mitigate the reductions:
• Implemented a temporary hiring freeze in October 2010
• Executed Voluntary Early Retirement Authority (VERA)/Voluntary
• Separation Incentive Payment (VSIP) opportunities (285 employees retired; next window opens May 2012)
• Established a Transition Assistance Office, consisting of representatives from the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce, the Civilian Personnel Advisory Center, and the Depot's Training Office to assist displaced workers.
• Hosted a Job Fair with federal agencies and private sector businesses (400 employees attended)
• Conversion of eligible veterans (50 veterans converted to excepted appointments)
Sullivan also said the decision was made after a long and careful review of options, realizing that the result would affect many valuable employees.

US Coal Exports Do Not Offset Massive Emissions Reductions from Natural Gas
In the end, achieving deep reductions in emissions will require that gas must be a bridge to lower-carbon energy sources, not an endpoint. But for now, emissions are declining and gas is displacing coal, which until recently, virtually everyone agreed was the most important climate mitigation objective.[read more]
As Emissions Fall, Greens Increasingly Embrace Shale Gas
For many years, environmental activists have pushed for bans, moratoria, or other restrictions on fracking, alleging the process is a threat to public health and the environment. But in recent months, increasing numbers of environmentalists have distanced themselves from the "ban fracking" agenda.[read more]
Revisiting a Questionable Study on Shale Gas and Methane Leaks

Study Sheds Light on the Environmental Impact of Shale Gas
Natural gas has been identified as a likely "bridge fuel" to cleaner energy sources. But this view has been challenged by suggestions that methane leakage from natural gas systems might be significant enough to negate the downstream climate benefits of switching to natural gas.[read more]
Study: No Long-Term Climate Benefit From Shale Gas Revolution
Claims that shale gas will significantly reduce US carbon emissions are based on hand-waving and wishful thinking. That's because those claims assume natural gas is replacing coal only, rather than some combination of coal, renewables, nuclear power, and energy efficiency.[read more]
Mark Bittman Wrong On Gas: How New York Times Columnist Misunderstands Shale Revolution

2009 Aston Martin Lagonda Concept news, pictures, specifications, and information
Aston Martin is proud to announce the return of Lagonda, one of the most iconic names in luxury car manufacturing. The intention is for Lagonda to enter the market place wîth a unique performance luxury product, a vehicle that combines exceptional ability wîth unsurpassed elegance, inside and out.
Lagonda's return signals a major expansion of Aston Martin's product line, taking the company into new and emerging markets around the world. To demonstrate the Lagonda vision, the LAGONDA CONCEPT has been created, a car that epitomises the intersection of craft, design and technology wîth Aston Martin's established high performance expertise.
The LAGONDA CONCEPT is an avant-garde luxury vehicle; wîth powerful four-wheel drive, a four-seater car that will satisfy the most discerning and demanding owner. The concept demonstrates a commitment to innovative new propulsion technologies, new materials and elegant forms.
'The Lagonda is the luxury car of the future,' says Aston Martin Chief Executive, Dr Úlrich Bez, 'a combination of total usability, a new form and innovative new technology and materials.'
The return of Lagonda fulfils a long-term vision. Aston Martin's modern era began in 2001 wîth the launch of the V12 Vanquish and the construction of the award-winning headquarters at Gaydon, Warwickshire in 2003. In the years that followed, Aston Martin has launched four class-leading new products, revitalising the performance GT category and redefining automotive beauty.
Vital Stats
Aston Martin's award-winning range, the DBS, DB9, Vantage and forthcoming Rapide and One-77, represent some of the most beautiful high performance cars ever built, refined, highly crafted and extremely well-engineered. An Aston Martin will always be a sports car; modern, exclusive and beautiful, it demands to be driven, wîth an exceptional character that rewards the enthusiast, both on the road and on the track. Above all, an Aston Martin creates an emotional response. It is a machine wîth soul.
Únder the leadership of Dr Úlrich Bez, Lagonda will bring performance luxury into new markets and territories around the world. Reflecting its remarkable history, Lagonda will return to Russia, enter emerging markets in the Middle East, South America, India and China, as well as responding to demand from the dynamic, innovation-focused consumers of Europe, North America and the Far East.
Not only will Lagonda join Aston Martin in existing core markets, but the unique character of the new brand will help take the company into as many as 100 territories around the world and extend the brand to new customers. 'An Aston Martin is an authentic, pure sports car,' says Dr Úlrich Bez, 'but Lagonda is something else, a new brand that will reach into new markets and have different values to Aston Martin.'
Lagonda is one of the great names in automotive history, a brand associated wîth luxury, performance, grace and exclusivity. Since the first Lagonda production car, was built 100 years ago by the American-born Wilbur Gunn, the Lagonda name has undergone several incarnations, before it soon began to excel at creating racing cars and sporting saloons.
Gunn's first car was built in his home workshop in Middlesex, England in 1909. In 1910, Gunn drove his 16/18hp Lagonda Tourer to victory in the Russian Reliability Trial, a spectacular event run by the Imperial Automobile Club of Russia as a public relations exercise for the country's nascent road system. The win brought in many orders, and Gunn focused his attention on the Russian market, establishing dealerships in St Petersburg and Moscow in 1910.
In truth, Russian roads presented entrants wîth daunting driving conditions and the route, which included St Petersburg, Riga, Kiev and Moscow, was a rigorous test for any car. Gunn's success was a vindication of the Lagonda's sturdy build and swift performance. It was not until the following year that Lagonda began marketing cars in its home country, beginning a limited production of light cars that was eventually halted by the First World War.
Throughout the 20s and 30s, the company expanded its premises in Staines, England wîth the light cars giving way to more substantial touring models. Lagonda came to epitomise the Edwardian passion for setting new records and exploring new territories, wîth robust and reliable vehicles that could effortlessly forge trans-continental links.
In 1933, the manufacturer launched the M45 at the Olympia Motor Show in London, a sporting tourer powered by the Henry Meadows-designed six-cylinder 4.5-litre engine. The prototype was driven by the aristocrat and enthusiast Edward Russell, Lord de Clifford, from Dieppe to Brindisi in Greece, beating the express train along the same route by some 14 hours. The result was a media sensation.
The M45 quickly became known as a car for the discerning sportsman, fast and capable yet also sufficiently comfortable for long journeys. In its day it had the largest engine in its class, a distinction that attracted owners like the land speed record holder Sir Malcolm Campbell, who had his M45 painted in his signature blue.
The emerging sport of long-distance endurance racing also became an integral part of Lagonda's development. In June 1935, a lightweight version of the M45 won the Le Mans 24 hours, wîth John Hindmarsh and Luis Fontes behind the wheel. This was a landmark achievement for the brand, as well as a highpoint of British sports car racing in the interwar era following Bentley's heyday in the 1920s.
The same month, Lagonda was bought by Alan Good, a charismatic British lawyer whose first task was to enlist the skills of engineer W.O. Bentley. The results were the LG45 styled by Frank Feeley that represented the apex of the engineering skills of the time. In 1936, W.O. Bentley designed Lagonda's first V12, an engine that was perfectly at home in the majestic long-wheelbase version of the new chassis.
The Lagondas of the 1930s demonstrated total harmony between engineering and appearance, including the stately LG6 model introduced in 1937. W.O. Bentley's diligent innovation and refinement continued throughout the war, and the company developed the LG6 into a V12 model, an even more 'imposing and dignified' saloon that sadly ceased production before the start of the war. Simultaneously, the engineer developed a new six-cylinder engine, during the war, the benefits of which were soon to be reaped by Aston Martin.
Aston Martin's association wîth Lagonda began in 1947, when David Brown, the marque's new owner, purchased the company for £52,500. The collaboration gave Aston Martin access to W.O.Bentley's new 2.6L DOHC six cylinder engine, as well as the talents of the company's long-serving bodywork stylist Frank Feeley.
Feeley was responsible for the elegant drophead variant of the new 2.6 litre, the first Lagonda of the David Brown era, produced from 1948 to 1953. At the end of 1952 the 2.6 litre was developed into the 3.0 litre, which used a revised version of the W.O. Bentley engine. The two-door saloon was soon joined by a four-door and a drophead coupe. The next Lagonda was the Touring-designed Rapide of 1963, a sleek four-door saloon that shared many components wîth the Aston Martin DB4. Fifty-five were built, of which 48 survive. In the late 1960s, Aston Martin's head designer, William Towns, developed a new four-door saloon from the Aston Martin DBS. Just seven examples were built in the mid 1970s.
In 1976, Aston Martin announced a Lagonda for a new era, a unique, innovative car designed by William Towns in the contemporary 'wedge' fashion he made his own. Standing aesthetically and technologically distinct from the Aston Martin range, the Lagonda was bold and experimental, a high performance luxury saloon for the truly discerning.
The Lagonda name was briefly revived for the Vignale Concept, an imposing luxury saloon created by Ghia Design in 1993. One example survives. The name was also used for the strictly limited production of the Lagonda Virage Saloon and Shooting Brake in 1994.
Lagonda's history is long and eventful, encompassing two of the most significant figures in twentieth century British engineering, W.O.Bentley and David Brown, racing glory and some of the most dramatic designs in automotive history.
In the 21st century, Lagonda will return, bringing a sense of adventure and the avant-garde to the luxury car market, honouring a remarkable history while also making a bold statement for the future.

Lagonda 2009
The LAGONDA CONCEPT celebrates 100 years of car production under the Lagonda brand, a stunning contemporary evolution of this evocative name.
The modern Lagonda marries functionalism wîth luxury, through organic forms, rich materials and complex surfaces. The car is based on an advanced platform that is tailored to accommodate a broad range of future powertrains, including flexfuel, low emission diesel and hybrid systems.
The LAGONDA CONCEPT is a four-seat international tourer, an avant-garde luxury car that draws inspiration from the brand's illustrious past as well as the visual language of speedboat design, the spacious individualist environment of the upper class cabin and the bespoke feel of contemporary modern furniture. Inside, the four generous seats are divided into a two zones, front and rear. The result is a relaxed, rich environment that envelops you in warm, tactile materials.
Marek Reichman, Aston Martin's Director of Design, describes the LAGONDA CONCEPT's design language as a fusion of fluid shapes mixed wîth hard, constructed lines. This organic, emotional approach eschews upright surfaces in favour of broad, flowing bodywork around the spacious passenger cabin.
The clear delineation between cabin, shoulder and flank is strongly reminiscent of the powerful and evocative lines of the 1930s era Lagondas, in particular the V12-engined version of the LG6. Viewed from the front of the concept, the deep, strong grille also evokes the presence and frontage of the cars from the inter-war era. The bold character lines that run along the sculpted flanks to the rear ensure the concept is planted firmly on the road. The large 22' wheels and cut-away bodywork offer exceptional ground clearance, while the concept's V12 engine delivers power through all four wheels.
A modern automotive brand must have strong core values and a broad range of abilities. The modern Lagonda will be the pre-eminent long-distance automobile, a vehicle that combines cosseting luxury wîth extreme functionality and technological innovation.
The Lagonda name has been an integral part of the Aston Martin story since 1947. The LAGONDA CONCEPT illustrates how the brand will once again stand together wîth Aston Martin as the perfect complement to modern performance. A Lagonda stands for functional elegance, performance, simplicity and comfort.
'Lagonda will create a new kind of customer relationship, instilling the spirit of travel, adventure and style into a single, formidable package,' says Dr Úlrich Bez. 'An Aston Martin demands to be driven. A Lagonda demands a destination.'

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
As low oil prices make naphtha cracking margins in Europe and Asia more competitive, are investments in new, ethane-based petrochemicals capacity in the US and Middle East becoming less attractive?
Yes, ethane cracking is less economical
No, ethane cracking is still the future

So who's telling the truth? With the recent release of the anticipated Mass Effect 2 demo on the Playstation 3, comparison sites Lens of Truth and Digital Foundry seem to find themselves at odds over performance of the PS3 demo versus the 360 retail code.
Recently Bioware unleashed the demo of their RGP masterpiece, Mass Effect 2, on the Playstation 3. As Mass Effect 2 had previously been an Xbox 360 exclusive title, its launch on Sony's platform peaked gamers' interests. Both Sony fans who had never experienced a Mass Effect title on the Xbox 360 or the PC, and those who had already played Mass Effect 2 but wondered what might be in store for PS3 owners eagerly awaited information regarding any differences between versions.
After posting this article it was brought to our attention that the versions compared on each site were both demos, not demo versus retail code. We have updated the article accordingly. The article itself otherwise remains unchanged.
Update 2: Shawn from Lens of Truth graciously took the time to respond to questions regarding the discrepancies between theirs and Digital Foundry's frame rate assessment. The entire response can be found in the comments section of the article.

According to the BBC, wildlife experts were stunned to witness a rare "divorce" among a pair of swans. The birds, which normally mate for life, returned to a Gloucestershire wildfowl sanctuary — with different partners. Sanctuary officials hope the birds will resolve their differences on an upcoming Maury Povich.

Her goal is to increase her sales in order to earn more of an income and be able to help her children with their education.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
In Costa Rica, funding for microfinance institutions is hard to come by, and many institutions find themselves having difficulty growing and reaching all the demand for loans that exist. Kiva works with Fundacion Mujer because it attends a very marginalized population in Costa Rica, with a specific focus on women. In addition to the loan, Fundacion Mujer provides specialized training programs for their borrowers on everything from computer classes to salon training. Because of the difficulty in obtaining capital in Costa Rica, Fundacion Mujer cannot serve all the women that need loans. Therefore Kiva plays a unique role in helping Fundacion Mujer grow its portfolio and reach borrowers it otherwise would not be able to.
About Fundacion Mujer:Fundación Mujer is an organization specializing in the financial and personal development of female entrepreneurs in Costa Rica. They seek to reach underserved populations that may include indigenous communities, immigrants, refugees, victims of domestic violence or women living with HIV/AIDS. Fundación Mujer offers courses in both business and personal development, as well as training in concrete skills such as sewing and other crafts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Bestselling Author and Top Blogger Questions Why YouTube Banned His Videos
With over 1000 videos live on YouTube, popular submitter questions why. BJ Min, author of a popular blog (BJMin101.com) started his YouTube channel (username:youtube.com/dictatormethod) in 2009 and has been providing daily videos ever since.
City, State, Country., March 29, 2014 - (PressReleasePoint) - He claims his subject matter, entrepreneurial tips, is "... one of the top one percent of YouTube channels in terms of the quantity of videos uploaded in the same channel". Mr. Min continues, "The subjects of my now missing videos are supported by my related publishing efforts(http://www.amazon.com/Make-Money-Ebooks-Step---Step-ebook/dp/B009SNF4ZQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1395606604&sr=8-1&keywords=BJ+Min). Several of my writings were very highly ranked in Amazon.com's business category during their initial publication, and sold beyond my wildest expectations."
In and effort to garner publicity for himself within the YouTube community, he challenged others to do as he has done. Mr. Min adds, "I wanted bloggers, just like me, putting out entrepreneurial tips, to raise the bar. By that I mean, over a 90 day period, I encouraged others to put out three or more videos per day to really get a buzz going".
No one is quite sure of the reason why BJ Min's account was terminated because his channel's videos were all original content and followed all of the user guidelines from YouTube. Mr. Min's efforts continued to be Google centric when he added Google hangouts as a starting point for his business messages and resulted in over 400,000 online viewings.
In an effort to try to figure out why his YouTube channel was shut down, he researched other blogger's track records on YouTube. A blogger named Brandon Lucero from soldwithvideo.com, claims he received a reply from a Google employee basically conveying that the community of YouTube users initially identifies spam videos, and if they (Google) determine that the community flagged the content in error, then it will be reinstated.
It is clear that YouTube is doing their best to monitor the content uploaded. Due to massive amounts of content being uploaded, it is understandable that some accounts may be mistakenly taken down.
Taken down in error, or not, many of the followers of Mr. Min's message on Facebook, Twitter and by his newsletter (as well as his blog) are frankly surprised by the YouTube deletions, and will miss out on the multimedia delivery that videos provide.
YouTube is obviously working hard to monitor their content. It seems sometimes throughout their monitoring, high quality channels (such as BJ Min's dictatormethod channel) can be tragically taken down in an instant.
Stay tuned for further news regarding Mr. Min's efforts to get his YouTube channel reinstated.

I'm on the Fence, Why Should I Send Chandler Parsons to Hawaii? And Who Are You?
I'm just a Houston Rockets fan who believes in a meritocracy, America, and a man named Chandler Parsons.
This season, as a starting forward for the Houston Rockets, Chandler Parsons averages 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. In one particularly memorable performance against Mark Cuban's Dallas Mavericks, Parsons sunk 32 points, hitting on his first 11 shots and finishing the game 12-13 from the field. Only one other NBA player this season has finished with at least 30 points on 90% shooting. That other player?
Lebron James.
Yet despite impressive game after game, Parsons is making less than a million dollars a year. And he's more or less locked into this contract for another two seasons. Grantland founder Bill Simmons called Parsons' contract one of the best bargains in the NBA.
I ask, a bargain for who?
At a salary of $888,250 this year, Parsons barely takes home $10,000 a game. And that's before legal fees, agent fees, and taxes. At an average of 15 points/game - Chandler is earning roughly $666 a point. For a little helping of context: Kobe Bryant makes 27.8 million a year which averages out to about $339,000 a game. If Kobe made $666/point, he would need to average 509 points per game to match Parsons' efficiency.
To make matters worse, mere weeks away from the playoffs, Chandler has been stricken with both a strained calf, food poisoning, and a crushing loss for his alma mater in the Elite 8 at the hands of Trey Burke and his Michigan Blue-ligans. This guy doesn't need to catch a break, he needs to catch the first flight out to Maui after the season ends!
I whole-heartedly believe Parsons and his Rockets will go far in the playoff season. But, whether he goes for one last victory lap or all the way to championship glory, I think we can all agree Chandler deserves a little rest, relaxation, and hula.
For the same price as an NBA jersey, a round of cold beers at your local sports pub, or nosebleed tickets to a Bobcats-Pistons game, you can help show Chandler Parsons your appreciation for an outstanding season.
Donate if you think MVP stands for Most Valuable Parsons.
So, What's Up with the $10,000?
Since he makes roughly $10,000 a game, we thought this extra "game" could be on us. Here's the cost estimate:
- $3,000 for a first class (he's got long legs) round-trip ticket from Houston to Maui
- $3,000 for a Deluxe Ocean View Room, $500/night x 6 nights
- $1,500 for Food (he's 6'9", guy probably has a huge appetite)
- $1,500 for Fun
- $300 for Miscellaneous Expenses ;)
- $700 for Indiegogo Processing Fee
This is a Fixed Goal Campaign, which means if we don't reach our goal, we don't get any of the donations, and Chandler Parsons doesn't get to go to Hawaii.
We are reaching out to Parsons's managment concurrent with this campaign to determine the best way to get him the funds. Meaning if, I mean when, we do reach our goal, we can get him on that first flight to Maui as soon as possible.
How Will This Impact Chandler Parsons, and the World?
Honestly, we don't know. We can't really speak on behalf of Parsons, or the nearly 7 billion people living on this earth. What we can speak for is the many NBA fans who appreciate a good underdog story and are tired of all the inflated salaries going to too many mediocre players.
I Want to Help Send Chandler Parsons to Hawaii, But I'm a Little Low on Funds Myself.
Even if you can't contribute money, you can help contribute a little sweet, sweet social media currency to our campaign. Everyone can play an important role in giving Parsons a reason to say "Aloha" to the off-season.
Here's how you can help get the word out:
- Use the hash tag #sendchandlerparsonstohawaii OR #scp2h to spread the word about our campaign
- Make sure to use the amazing Indiegog share tools
- Write a biting letter to David Stern

He's a worm hoping that the body he infests will rise to the top. Thus far he's bet wrong. In the process he's misled the press, the courts, and public opinion.
There's nothing there to distruct because there's nothing there to trust. Florian is a gambler and he's playing on his own table with his own dice and his own rules.

Are you high?
This is a story about nuclear energy.
What kind of "we don't edit our own spam" is this "Hold on. If you're still reading this, head over to our Daily Deals to save an additional 10% on any item in our Black Friday collection" stuff?
If you don't think people read your articles,that's your business.
Trying to spam everyone who DID read it with a "save 10% on crap" link is despicable.
It is not longer government by the people or for the people.
If it ever was.
Washington is filled with corrupt self-dealing swindlers who line their pockets with taxpayer funds either directly or indirectly (from lobbyists who then get taxpayer-funded programs handed their way).
Each year they get more brazen, more blatent in their thuggery and their evisceration of our rights, and in their theft.
It's only a matter of time before the sheeple who bleat "Baahhh (D)" or "Bahhh (R)" wake up to the fact that whatever letter you claim as your "party", the real party is in DC and you're not invited.
Glyn you're really knowledgeable and well read so I'm not sure how this happened (maybe throw an editor under the bus?)
"this begs the question" does not mean "this brings up the question." It means "This takes as a given this other thing that really should be questioned!"

Also... seriously the FBI should be reminded of its mission, and it's not terrorism creation and bustage.
The only mystery is why UST is not asking DoS.
The US Government Department of State supplied them to Al Nusra.

No, really. It's not about me. This is a forum on a particular topic and you keep coming here and spewing. It's considered polite to stick to the topic, whether you post as yourself or others.
Have a blessed day :)
A month ago it was made clear to you that this is not about the show; it's about the man.
A month ago it was made clear to you that this is not about me; it's about the man.
Please take your multiple personalities and go get help. Continuing to argue past the point of exhaustion will only make you tired; it won't change the fact that this is about Walter O'Brien the fraud, not the show, and not me.
Best of luck with better meds, and have a great weekend.
If anything I said confuses you, as I'm sure it does, just read the post at the very end of the page.
This is not a discussion about the TV show.
It never was.
It doesn't matter if you think it OUGHT TO BE. It's not.
Dementia is a sad sad thing. Take your meds and go enjoy the show.
This forum is not for discussing the show - just the fraud that is Walter O'Brien.
The only ISIS recruits the FBI finds are the ones it creates. Surely it can read its side of those emails.
Perhaps the FBI and Director Comey should remember that the FBI's mission is to investigate and solve CRIMES not terrorism. We have other agencies that do that.
When a terrorist event occurs in Israel they report the details and the next day mortar and cement shows up to replace the rubble.
Here we build monuments to terror, raze schools to the ground, and play the terrorist's name endlessly, showcasing them, their manifesto, and their family.
Perhaps it's time to take a lesson from our allies across the pond and quit turning the terror circus spigot on at a moment's notice for cheap and tawdry ratings.
When TV networks stopped showing streakers at baseball games the habit stopped -- nobody got famous for it, just arrested. Naked.
This was in a gun-free zone.
The whole United States is a crime-free zone.
Drugs are sold in drug-free zones.
Legislation won't solve this. Public attitude will.
My sympathies for the families.
Regulations are sometimes couched as being required for safety, and the inevitable tradeoff between what you can't do and someone else's safety trotted out center stage.
Then sometimes it's just the government exercising more control because it can. This is an example of the latter -- Colombia has effectively made flying drones a violation of several civil regulations. That means if you upset someone you will get fined and the government will be enriched.
No matter how corrupt or inept our government is, I'm happy that the US FAA takes a more laissez faire approach until something becomes an exigent danger. Their process, which includes NPRMs, hearings, etc. is more reasoned than the European or South American or Colombian methods.
Commercial Rotorcraft Pilot
It appears that "Bullying" in 2015 is "Anything one doesn't like."
I'd quote the OED but I don't want to be bullying the author of this great article nor the readers of the comments.
"Ausrian Commercial Court" could use another "t".
No. College campuses are not made up of the systems and processes to properly evaluate a legal claim, investigate it, and then lead to a conclusion.
That is why most of them will hand these things off to a law enforcement agency to do a proper (legal) investigation and follow it up. A LACK of a charge and a LACK of a conviction is not a failure of the process.
Here's an article with statistics about 80% of the claims being false:
Here's another story about made up campus rape:
The assumption that a "student is ignored" is a false one. There's nothing in any primary source indicating the student was ignored. There were no criminal convictions in this matter. Anything else is pure speculation... and a prejudging of the other victim -- the alleged sexual assaulter.
The other assumption that someone "barely 3 months out of high school" gets to have magic-bullet rights is ludicrous. Take another look at the 14th Amendment. If you're a US Citizen you have EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW. There's no magic bullet for being "3 months out of high school." Maturity is expected and legally granted at 18 years.
The article doesn't fail on cyanide sales. The article correctly points out that the LAWSUIT FAILS by conflating the cyanide sale with the suicidal teen with the sexual assault. The lawsuit is defective because the reason for the suicide is unproven BUT arguendo is irrelevant to the matter of the purchase of the cyanide.
This case is about a mother hurt so badly because she wasn't available to her suicidal daughter, that she wants to sue everybody.
I'm sorry her daughter felt she had nobody to turn to. Likely if her mommy had been available... there would be no lawsuit today.
However, from a legal point of view...
I know it's tough for people outside the United States to understand but we here have laws. Part of those laws is that everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
When we say "we don't blame the victim" this is true of those who report alleged assault as well as the person they report about.
In this case there is no conviction. That means NOBODY is guilty of sexually assaulting her.
That sexual assault thing is a red herring. This case is about mommy suing Amazon because butthurt.
It is NOT germane to Amazon being named in the lawsuit as to WHY the girl was allegedly suicidal. The whole "sexual assault" thing and suing the University is just an attempt to get more bites at the insurance-coverage umbrella-policy cash apple.
Simplifying, these are two unrelated cases thrown into one:
1. Nobody was found guilty of sexual assault but mommy thinks university should have moved the alleged perpetrator to a different dorm (or killed him?). Scott Greenfield writes about this horrid non-justice phenomenon at blog.simplejustice.us. Basically universities are creating extrajudicial proceedings lacking justice, fairness, protection of rights, and allow the accused to be vilified while the accuser has free reign without regard to law or evidence.
But this did not happen here. Nobody was found guilty of sexual assault. Any discussion of sexual assault is an attack against the victim of these accusations.
2. An adult went on Amazon.com and purchased a product. Amazon is not responsible that the adult later used that product to kill herself. The depressed teen could have bought a Ghost 400 crossbow, a sharp kitchen knife, or Tide With Bleach and Windex and made mustard gas. The only responsible person for her death is... the teen.
If her mother would like to find someone living to point the finger at... she should look in the mirror. Obviously this poor teenager felt she was assaulted (but the law did not agree with her conclusion) and she felt she had nobody to turn to (I guess Mommy wasn't so ever reachable)... and that she couldn't live with the guilt or shame and so she spent DAYS buying a product, waiting for it to be delivered, getting it, and using it.
There's suicide through depression. That happens instantly. There's suicide through PLANNED death. That's what this teenager did.
Mommy should get help. She has no case against any of the parties... and this won't make her feel better for how badly she failed her daughter.
I'm sorry an eighteen year old girl felt everything was so hopeless and she bought cyanide and killed herself.
The only person responsible for that is the girl. Not Amazon. Not the university. Not some guy that was not found to have assaulted her.
Sometimes justice is not fair. But it is just.
...why should you? People using that site knew what they were doing, and that it involved risk. The risk of negative consequences for being caught cheating is as old as cheating itself...
he really got under their ̶a̶r̶m̶o̶u̶r̶ skin.
