John Stossel | Confessions of a Media Maverick
Recorded: Friday, January 30, 2004
When pioneering television journalist John Stossel joined ABC-TV's "20/20" in 1981, his peers and an admiring public hailed him as a crusading consumer reporter. His hard-hitting, in-your-face exposes of con artists and corporate liars and crooks won him 19 Emmys and an avid following. But, could the use of government power and the Nanny State be the biggest scam of all?
In his new book, Give Me a Break, Stossel takes on a herd of sacred cows and examines how in the name of the "public interest," ambitious politicians and bureaucrats, intellectually lazy and opportunistic reporters, scaremongers, and predatory lawyers make life worse, especially for those most disadvantaged.
In this event John Stossel explained how his investigations of government waste, fraud and abuse; welfare for the rich; victimless crimes; self-serving interest groups; and sensationalist-media hyping (while ignoring real risks) reveal the crucial need to protect the civil and economic liberties of all people.
John Stossel, author of Give Me a Break. is co-anchor of ABC's "20/20." He also hosts ABC's "John Stossel Specials" for ABC television and radio, and ABCNews.com. In addition to having received 19 Emmy Awards, he has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Among his other awards are the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.

By: Lynette Holloway Posted: July 6 2013 12:05 PM 0 Peter Moses Jr. received two life sentences. (ABC News) The Daily News is reporting that the head of a polygamous sect was given two life sentences on Friday for the murders of a 4-year-old boy and one of his five wives, who tried to escape his cult. Prosecutors in Durham, N.C., found Peter Moses Jr. responsible for the shooting deaths of little Jadon Higganbothan and 28-year-old Antoinetta McKoy — two innocent victims of the "Black Hebrew Israelites." Moses called himself the chosen leader of one of the ancient tribes of Israel. His wives called him "Lord." But Yvonne McKoy, the mother of the slain Antoinetta, called the 28-year-old a liar. "This man deceived me," Yvonne said as she confronted Moses in court on Friday. "He took something very dear and precious from me." "To know [my daughter] begged for her life is even more painful," WNCN heard the mother say. "I don't know if you want to apologize. That's your choice." Hearing that plea, Moses responded, "I'm sorry for what happened to your daughter." Four others have pleaded guilty to the killings. One of them, Vania Sisk, was Higganbothan's mother. According to prosecutors, Sisk watched while Moses put a gun to her little boy's head. A plumber found the victims' bodies stuffed in plastic bags in the backyard of Moses' mother's home in 2011 ... All of the children in the household were fathered by Moses — everyone except little Higganbothan. Moses was convinced that the 4-year-old boy's father was gay. When Higganbothan struck another child in the buttocks, Moses took it as proof of the child's homosexuality, prosecutors said. Read more at the Daily News. Like The Root on Facebook.

Kai Opaka was the spiritual leader of Bajor in the latter days of the Cardassian Occupation and the early days of Bajor's independence from Cardassian rule. One of the most respected figures in the Bajoran culture, Opaka was left in the Gamma Quadrant in 2369.
The Occupation
Opaka was born under Cardassian rule during the half-century long occupation of her world. As an adult, she rose to great prominence among the Bajoran spiritual community, eventually becoming Kai.
Constantly working to protect her people and serve the will of the Prophets, Opaka became a revered figure among her people. During the last decade of the Occupation, however, she secretly collaborated with the Cardassians. Opaka sent Prylar Bek to inform them of the location of a Bajoran Resistance cell in the Kendra Valley. This saved the lives of 1,200 other Bajorans, but Opaka sacrificed her son in the process – as a member of the cell, he was killed in the resulting massacre. Opaka's involvement was never discovered, even after Prylar Bek made a full confession. Vedek Bareil lost the kaiship to keep secret the fact she had sacrificed her son and his group in order to save hundreds of civilians from retribution. (DS9: "The Collaborator")
The Coming of the Emissary
When the Cardassians retreated from Bajor in 2369, the Bajoran people began forming factions, vying for control of their new found independence. Each side looked to Opaka for support. She went into hiding on Bajor, refusing to meet with anyone.
When the Bajoran Provisional Government invited Starfleet to take command of the former Cardassian space station Terok Nor in orbit of Bajor, Commander Benjamin Sisko was placed in command of the renamed station, Deep Space 9. Hoping to unite the various Bajoran factions, Sisko met with Opaka. She surprised many by identifying Sisko as the prophesied Emissary of the Prophets. Opaka believed that Sisko's arrival had a deep spiritual purpose. She believed that Sisko's arrival was fulfillment of prophecy and that he would be the savior of Bajor. She entrusted Sisko with a powerful and mystical orb, telling him his destiny was to reclaim eight other orbs stolen by the Cardassians. Kai Opaka used the orb to transport Sisko to the beach where he first met his wife. Sisko later discovered the home of the Prophets, the Bajoran wormhole, which the Bajorans identified as the Celestial Temple. Later, he spoke with Kai Opaka, who informed Sisko that he was the Emissary of the Prophets and this was not last time he would work with the Bajoran prophets to secure the future of Bajor. (DS9: "Emissary")
After several months, Opaka left Bajor for Deep Space 9 to visit Sisko. Compelled by the Prophets to travel into the wormhole, Opaka somehow knew that she would not be returning. During a trip to the Gamma Quadrant, Opaka died in a runabout crash on a moon.
The moon was discovered to be a prison on which artificial microbes kept the prisoners forever alive to wage war with one another. These microbes resurrected Opaka, but forced her to remain on the moon. The artificial microbes restored a person's body after death, but that body then became permanently dependent on those microbes for all cellular functions. Anyone with the microbes would die if taken away from the moon. Accepting her new situation as the will of the Prophets, Opaka remained behind. She hoped to teach the warring prisoners peace. (DS9: "Battle Lines")
Vedek Winn Adami told Benjamin Sisko that she and Opaka once spoke about Sisko being the Emissary of the Prophets and she asked Opaka why an unbeliever was chosen to fulfill this role. Opaka told her that, "one should never look into the eyes of one's own gods". (DS9: "In the Hands of the Prophets")
Opaka appeared in an orb shadow that Sisko experienced in 2372. He had stepped down as the Emissary when Akorem Laan, who had been in the Celestial Temple for 200 years, returned and said that the prophets had chosen him to be the Emissary. Opaka convinced Sisko that he should accept his destiny and that he was the rightful emissary. (DS9: "Accession")
The non-canon novels Rising Son and Unity states that Opaka's given name is Sulan and have her return from the Gamma Quadrant accompanied by Jake Sisko in 2376. She did not return to the position of Kai, and during a hostage situation, served as a midwife for Kasidy Yates-Sisko, when Kasidy gave birth to her daughter.
In the alternate future seen in the Deep Space Nine Millennium book trilogy, the Bajoran Ascendancy named a starship after Kai Opaka. It was commanded by Captain Thomas Riker.
Her mirror universe counterpart appeared in the Star Trek: Mirror Universe novel Rise Like Lions. The novel stated that she was elected as Kai in 2377 after the mirror Bajorans converted en masse to the long abandoned faith of their ancestors shortly after the discovery of the Bajoran wormhole by the mirror universe counterpart of Iliana Ghemor, who was hailed as the Emissary of the Prophets.
In Star Trek Online, a ship was named after Kai Opaka, the USS Opaka. When the 2800 Dominion ships that were lost in the Bajoran wormhole after the Battle of Bajor reappeared and attacked Deep Space 9, the Opaka was at the station, and aided in the station's evacuation.

Awwww congratulations on your engagement!!!!
I have been away from the forum for a while. Libby is growing so fast and I believe in a month or so will be as tall as my 1 yr old boxer! Everyday I feel as though she gets bigger. Her personality is really showing this past week. She is a super love bug.
We havent had any accidents in what feels like a couple weeks. Shes so smart when I'm upstairs she will ring the bell so I can hear her when she needs to go out and when I'm downstairs and I can see her she just sits by the door and waits to be let out. I didnt teach her that!
I feel like she's been a pretty easy puppy overall.
She still jumps on people out of excitement which is such a hard command to teach. But so far I've just been telling people not to pet her until she "sits" Hope that works. And she's still a wild puppy the moment we leave the house to go on walks. Can you believe she's going on 13 weeks this Saturday!!!??? Time flies!
Libby's Mom, Meg
New Year check in:
How's everyone doing? I assume just as busy as we are. Thelma Lou is growing like a weed. She has long muscular legs and her body is getting long as well. Her mother was on the smaller side and we thought Thelma Lou would be as well, but I am wondering if she is going to take after her father, who is big and muscular and 85 lbs. Her paws are still much too big for her body.
We've been making some good strides-still, biting is the most difficult thing we deal with. My favorite times with her are right when she wakes up (she's so cuddly) and when she curls up at my feet (like now) chewing on a stick or a toy. She's getting prettier every day-my husband's aunt called her the beauty queen of dogs.
Potty training is still coming along. I determined yesterday that we are going to train the bell. She goes outside most of the time, but it is usually not because she signalled us, rather we just took her out. So, while there are fewer accidents, I wouldn't consider her house-trained.
Yesterday was her first scared time. Some people moved in at the end of our block, with two barky dogs-one big black, scary dog. I'll just stop here and say that I am probably unlike most people on this forum. I consider myself a cat person. I love my dog, and goldens in general, but I am not a big dog lover. Anyway, this big dog is in a fenced yard but he has a big, scary growl and bark. I really hate it, actually, because up until now the neighborhood has been so happy and kid friendly.
So we were taking our walk last night around the block and it was dark. She was sniffing along at everything when we got close to their house and then that dog started barking. She couldn't see him (in addition to the fence, there was a hedge in between us with just a small break) but that bark scared her. The boys and I tried encouraging her along but she was pulling back on the leash and didn't want to go past their house at all. I ended up picking her up and a carrying her. Her entire body was shaking, poor thing.
This house is on our usual, and practically only, walking route, so it's something she's going to have to get used to. Once we got past their house she wanted down and then was playful again.
My chore this week is to find a hotel that will allow dogs when we go visit my in-laws in a couple weeks. It's my father-in-law's 80th birthday and we are all dropping in to wish him happy birthday. The hotel we usually stay at does not allow pets of any kind so I've got to do some looking around. I don't think we can (or want to) board her and I can't think of anyone here I would leave her with for three days. Staying with the in-laws is not an option.
And other than that, life is back to normal. Hope you're all having a great week!

Glad things are going well with TL!!! She is so precious! Post some more pictures of her when you get a chance! I would love to see how she is growing. How much does she weigh right now? I think my Libby is going to be a bigger golden girl too.
Libby's Mom, Meg
That is very interesting that you are not a dog person because our whole household is not either. Well, my husband loves all animals but we love cats the most. We have three of them, ha ha. We love our two dogs but basically I love other people's dogs from afar or not at all. Especially mangy little yippee dogs, LMAO!
But I'm so amazed at how much our dogs are like people and I do love them so much. they are a lot of work, though. Everything seems to revolve around them and we're not used to that. Cats are so easy!
That is too bad about your new neighbor's dog. We have a couple of dogs like that but not right on our walking path. We actually take a different path to avoid some dogs that are so aggressive and have a short little fence. It makes us nervous. I'm sure TL will get so used to them but I hate listening to dogs get worked up like that.
I would say it sounds like TL and Peaches are about the same on potty training. Peaches goes to the door and barely waits for us and if we don't catch her in time she pees. It was bad yesterday. She pee'd three times! So I think she is mostly going outside because we are quick enough to take her not because she is holding it on her own and telling us and then going outside. But I'm not going to complain because she does run to the door and that is tile there so not a pain to clean and it shows she is trying to get outside.
This week Peaches changed SO MUCH. She is HUGE! She just went from short, pudgy, fur ball with a little head to tall and her head got bigger (or her round belly got smaller, ha ha) and her weight seems to have soared. It feels like she has gained about two pounds in a day. It is strange when i look at her, really look at her, because she is more like a big girl puppy and not a baby any more.
As for biting, she does bite but it must not be that much because it doesn't faze me. She mostly bites if she is playing and she plays like that with Katniss and not too much with us. Now that I'm getting more sleep and getting back to a schedule again I'm focusing on more commands. I am working on Off! because she suddenly started jumping up to get our attention and I really worked on Down all day yesterday. She gets it when I use a treat and lure her but not if I just stand up and tell her down. Katniss learned it in a matter of seconds, but Peaches, not yet!
I can't wait to take her to Puppy Kindergarten! I look forward to meeting other puppy owners and learning effective ways to teach her things. I also look forward to getting Kat into her obedience class. She is so good but she doesn't listen 100% outside. That is where I want help, on her recall. Peaches is good at recall, especially outside, but I think that is because she is at that puppy age where she wants to be right by my side and Katniss is like, cya guys! ha ha.
I really have let myself go these last few weeks. I'm such a schedule orientated person for myself and I love my exercise ritual and all that but I've been so out of sorts. Matt started his school back up this morning and hopefully that will get us all back into rhythm. I cannot stand TRADOC! We've been in 18.5 years and it is so hard when he is clumped in with the whole TRADOC and have to show up at 4 am from block leave or before the weekend, or for anything that they fancy. Everyone in his class has been in a while, it doesn't make sense but what can you do? It was a mess this morning with the dogs at 230 am, the coffee pot set off Katniss and then she barked and then Peaches wanted to get up…ugh!
Anyway, hopefully the new puppy phase is fading and we can get on with our normal lives. I really would love to focus on other things and not just the dogs, if that makes sense. I think people are starting to hate talking to me cuz all it is dog this dog that!
Anyone else feel like the puppy is consuming your life??? ha ha!
I hear you. On the puppy thing and the TRADOC thing.
You should post some new pictures of Peaches-have you weighed her lately? I think we'll weigh TL today. I don't know that she's a whole lot heavier but she is DEFINITELY taller and longer. She looks downrghit lanky.
Next week we are going to take a drive to meet up with some friends of ours who have an adult golden and just got a 5-month old golden rescue. I think it'll be so great for her. And still no luck on the hotel thing. I guess I am going to look at the surrounding towns. They live in a very small town....
Off to a very uncomfortable meeting.....one of the downsides of being here....

I will try to take some photos of her today! I did weigh her this morning after I posted and she did gain 2 pounds! She was 16.6 this morning. I think she is exactly 11 weeks today.
That will be lots of fun to take tl to play with other dogs. she will be wiped out after that…
Not sure what uncomfortable meeting you have but good luck. Oh wait, if it is one that we all have to go to a class before then I'm sorry for you and for the one that you are meeting with. ugh.
Barney's girl, I think we are about 2-3 hours east of you. If we were closer, I would offer to babysit TL in a heartbeat. Just sayin'.
She is adorable!
Anything for a Tarheel!

Here are some new shots of Peaches from today, 11 weeks. I shot them next to Katniss so you can see how big she has gotten! She looks much better next to Kat now and Kat is nearly 60 pounds! She was 57.7 pounds at the vet last week. Peaches is growing up!
I love Peaches!! She is still so fluffy! Thelma Lou looks much older in the face, I think. Plus her legs seem much longer. And she can RUN. On our walks around the block when we turn towards home and I say, "Let's go home!" She takes off flying. I have to run full out to keep up with her. I know they're not supposed to run much when they're little, but she LOVES it. It's only 4 or 5 houses so not too far, but she is stinkin fast.
L, wife of a soldier, mom to 4 humans, 2 felines, and 1 adorable puppy
I know God gives me days like today just in case there was a chance I was having some pride in some area of my life.
So, I had to go to a meeting this morning. Shelby, you may have heard rumblings. It was a particular organization and a current issue. I'm sure you can figure it out. That was annoying.
Then this afternoon we decided to take Thelma Lou out for some socializing. We went to Lowe's first. She was afraid of the cars in the parking lot so I carried her. Then we got in the store and she spent the entire time pulling at her leash to try to get to people so they could pet her. I should have brought treats because she would only hold a sit for a second. Then she finally found someone who would give her the attention she thought she deserved. Licked her to death, squirmed all over, then peed on the floor. Nice.
So we left Lowe's.
Went to Chickfila for milkshakes and had a homeless person approach the car wanting money to buy food at McDonalds. I offered to buy her Chickfila right there and she declined. Thus ensued a conversation with the 9yo about homelessness in general and how to help people help themselves.
On to Petsmart because her Christmas leash has now turned into a NCState leash since Christmas is over and we can't have that on our Tar Heel dog! I carried her then put her in the cart. One good thing that came out of the trip was that I met a lady who runs one of the training places here! She is ex-military and trains handlers but also does obedience and such. Had a really nice talk with her-Thelma Lou behaved for that, thank goodness. Spent another 80 bucks on her. How??? I used to buy shoes and expensive coffee drinks for myself. Now I buy leashes and elk antlers for the dog.
Then we came home and the neighbor was outside with her boxer, whom Thelma Lou is both terrified of and intrigued by. There was lots of scooting across the grass, rolling on her back, and other submissive behavior but she couldn't being herself to get close enough to let Helga sniff her. We stayed outside for a good ten minutes with them, then stayed another five minutes trying to get her to go potty. Finally gave up and came inside. Took off her leash and she walked right over to the carpet and peed. > Seriously?
So. Cleaned it up, pretended everything was fine like I'm supposed to, got her dinner, went to the bathroom myself and came down to take her outside. Stood another 10 minutes or so outside, repeating "go potty!" A million times and came in. Smelled something funny and found out that she didn't need to poop outside because in the 2 minutes I was in the bathroom after she finished eating she had pooped on the floor.
Now she's snoozing peacefully away in her puppy jail. If someone wakes her up, I may have to get ugly......

Vinnie Iyer facebook twitter email rss Oct. 8, 2013 Share: The last time Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints started 5-0 was during the 2009 NFL season. Also four years ago, they won their first 13 games, and went on to win Super Bowl XLIV over Peyton Manning's Colts. In 2013, at 5-0, the Saints should feel confident about their chances about getting a shot at that elusive second ring.

The Saints are worthy of marching to the top as a legitimate threat to win it all again.

How they move up: They need to go back to putting up their dominant victories, both at home and against NFC foes. How they move down: Have trouble either starting fast or closing strong. That's plagued them the past two weeks with mixed results. What's next: vs. Titans, where they'll be happy to see the 12th Man again. MORE: Best shots from Week 5 Previous Next Previous Next 5 32 5 Kansas City Chiefs (5-0) Last week: 6 Why they're here: The Chiefs are methodical and predictable, with big plays on defense and on special teams, while using steady ball control on offense. That should keep working most weeks against a weak schedule. How they move up: It would be nice if they could show a little more firepower beyond Jamaal Charles. They'll need it to win games later in the season (see Broncos). How they move down: Let their one defensive issue, stopping the run, fester a bit. What's next: vs. Raiders, their version of a college rivalry game. TUCKER: Saints, Chiefs surprise in different ways Previous Next Previous Next 6 32 6 Indianapolis Colts (4-1) Last week: 10 Why they're here: The Colts had their second statement win against the NFC power, beating Seattle just a few weeks after ripping into San Francisco. How they move up: Keep giving Andrew Luck a lot more help with timely defense and special teams. They are learning how to beat opponents in several ways. How they move down: If they don't keep Luck clean and put him in uncomfortable passing situations. What's next: at Chargers, where we'll get a good look at Luck in prime time. MORE: Colts are real contenders Previous Next Previous Next 7 32 7 San Francisco 49ers (3-2) Last week: 5 Why they're here: The 49ers haven't quite gotten Colin Kaepernick going as a runner or a passer, but everything else worked in throttling the Texans on Sunday night, 34-3. How they move up: If they can work with Kaepernick to get him back to Week 1 and 2012 form before the meat of their second-half schedule. How they move down: Try to force the issue with Kaepernick with a favorable slate around the corner. What's next: vs. Cardinals, Anquan Boldin's old NFC West team. MORE: 49ers pick apart Texans Previous Next Previous Next 8 32 8 New England Patriots (4-1) Last week: 3 Why they're here: It's breaking news whenever neither Tom Brady nor any other Patriot produces a touchdown, which happened in the shocking 13-6 loss at Cincinnati. How they move up: The Patriots can get right back up with a shot at the No. 1 team in SN power rankings, New Orleans, in Foxborough. How they move down: If they can't find someone to pick up the slack in the running game to take pressure off Brady. What's next: vs. Saints, where they will look for an immediate impact from Rob Gronkowski. MORE: Gronkowski expected to play Sunday Previous Next Previous Next 9 32 9 Green Bay Packers (2-2) Last week: 7 Why they're here: The Packers didn't come out with a pretty offense vs. Detroit, but still turned in the needy gritty performance to put them back in semi-control of the NFC North. How they move up: They can go right back to padding their resume on the road, with a date in Baltimore against the Super Bowl champs. How they move down: Let the loss of Clay Matthews bring down the rest of their defense, which just had its best performance against the Lions. What's next: at Ravens, where Aaron Rodgers will duel fellow Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. MORE: Matthews out a month with broken thumb Previous Next Previous Next 10 32 10 Baltimore Ravens (3-2) Last week: 12 Why they're here: The Ravens have had trouble in close, ugly games, but were able to outlast the Dolphins in Miami, 26-23. The champs are in no position to go for style points, just enough points. How they move up: Keep letting Ray Rice loose and give him the ball enough. The Ravens got a little too pass happy, and getting their most consistent force going is vital. How they move down: If they don't clean up their defense on the back end. Green Bay comes in ready to test their secondary. What's next: vs. Packers, in a critical North vs. North interconference matchup for two reigning division champions. MORE: Week 5's top images Previous Next Previous Next 11 32 11 Cincinnati Bengals (3-2) Last week: 13 Why they're here: The Bengals keep playing up and down to their opponent. The Steelers, Packers and Patriots at home? No problem. The Browns on the road? Didn't happen. How they move up: Let's see this young team be more consistent. The talent is there to get on a roll like they did late last season, but they need that to happen earlier. How they move down: If they keep struggling on the road, where they are 0-2. What's next: at Bills, where's let hope they don't play down to Thad Lewis. Previous Next Previous Next 12 32 12 Chicago Bears (3-2) Last week: 8 Why they're here: The Bears' defense got picked apart by Drew Brees and wore down against the run in bad spots at home. The team has cooled off fast with a two-game losing streak. How they move up: Forget about what's gone wrong and focus on what's still going right. The offense keeps finding a groove with Jay Cutler getting more than just Matt Forte and Brandon Marshall involved. How they move down: If they can't win the turnover battle. They need to get the takeaway mojo going again in prime time on a short week. What's next: vs. Giants, a Thursday night date with the NFC's worst team. PHOTOS: Nike unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms Previous Next Previous Next 13 32 13 Detroit Lions (3-2) Last week: 9 Why they're here: The Lions didn't have Calvin Johnson, and their Megatron-free attack dragged down Reggie Bush, Matt Stafford and everyone else in Green Bay. How they move up: Getting Megatron back after one game would be nice, but getting Bush and Joique Bell going again in the running game is important. How they move down: Keep struggling to finish drives. The Lions can go up and down the field, but they've stalled as Stafford hasn't been on point in the red zone. What's next: at Cleveland, a tough North vs. North defensive challenge. MORE: Raiola apologizes Previous Next Previous Next 14 32 14 Dallas Cowboys (2-3) Last week: 16 Why they're here: Tony Romo had the best game of his career, but everyone keeps talking about the one mistake he made that kept the Cowboys a little short of the Broncos. How they move up: They can't let their heartbreaking shootout get them down. If anything, showing they can score with Denver should give them more confidence for NFC play. How they move down: Let the loss linger and let their offensive execution slide, despite having more weak defenses ahead. What's next: vs. Redskins, the team they need and want to beat most. TUCKER: Pro analysis of Tony Romo, Cowboys Previous Next Previous Next 15 32 15 Houston Texans (2-3) Last week: 11 Why they're here: Another week, another Matt Schaub pick six. But given they did lose 34-3 at San Francisco, the blame deserves to spread around a lot more than just the quarterback. How they move up: The Texans need to keep things simple with the running game, better pass protection and have their defense make more impact plays to help the offense. How they move down: If they make a rash decision involving Schaub. It's not quite time to panic yet with a winnable game at home this week. What's next: vs. Rams, against one offense bound to make more mistakes than them. WATCH: Matt Schaub in serious funk Previous Next Previous Next 16 32 16 Cleveland Browns (3-2) Last week: 19 Why they're here: The Browns dispatched the Bills with big plays on a night when their run defense let them down a bit. Brandon Weeden provided a good pickmeup after Brian Hoyer was felled. How they move up: Keep playing lights out pass defense. That's really their strength, before and after the Trent Richardson trade, that has them above .500 for now. How they move down: Hold back Weeden and get too conservative. They need his big arm working the ball to Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron to stay above .500. What's next: vs. Lions, with whom they match up well. MORE: Best images Previous Next Previous Next 17 32 17 Miami Dolphins (3-2) Last week: 14 Why they're here: The Dolphins have come back to earth after winning some close games early following a blowout vs. the Saints and nipping vs. the Ravens. How they move up: They need something more from their running game and offensive line so they're not stuck in the rut of relying so much on Ryan Tannehll's arm and athleticism. How they move down: Keep struggling with skilled, explosive running backs. What's next: vs. Bills, when they'll face the C.J. Spiller-Fred Jackson combination. MORE: NFL postseason won't expand until 2015 Previous Next Previous Next 18 32 18 Tennessee Titans (3-2) Last week: 15 Why they're here: Ryan Fitzpatrick tried to do his best Jake Locker impression vs. Kansas City, but the Titans didn't have the same passing game and ran out of gas against a similar opponent. How they move up: The Titans are staying in games because of Gregg Williams' defense, and they can put themselves in better situations by jumping out to leads. How they move down: If Fitzpatrick can't get their wide receivers going they will be doomed against teams that can shut down Chris Johnson. What's next: at Seahawks, where it will be tough to move the ball on a long road trip. MORE: No fun being in Loserville Previous Next Previous Next 19 32 19 New York Jets (3-2) Last week: 26 Why they're here: The Jets have taken flight with rookie quarterback Geno Smith, and Rex Ryan is back up to his old defensive tricks with a strong front seven and one shutdown cornerback (Antonio Cromartie). How they move up: Keep playing turnover-free football. Smith has been outstanding when not forcing the ball and holding it too long. How they move down: If they can't shore up their pass defense beyond Cromartie and the pressure applied by Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson. What's next: vs. Steelers, a team that has yet to force one turnover. MORE: Jets flying high with Geno Smith Previous Next Previous Next 20 32 20 San Diego Chargers (2-3) Last week: 17 Why they're here: Philip Rivers' rifling has allowed them to be competitive every week, but it's getting harder to overcome a pass defense that keeps getting shredded. How they move up: It's on Rivers and Danny Woodhead to protect the ball, because their defense isn't taking it away to make life easier. The Chargers can score with anyone without mistakes. How they move down: If their pass rush and coverage keep failing at the same time. They're being picked apart too easily. What's next: vs. Colts, where Rivers figures to be in another shootout with Andrew Luck. Previous Next Previous Next 21 32 21 Philadelphia Eagles (2-3) Last week: 22 Why they're here: The Eagles avoided becoming the worst team in the bad NFC East by blowing past the Giants, despite the fact they needed to do so late with Nick Foles in for Michael Vick. How they move up: Use the potential QB change from Vick to Foles to be more about their speedy running game setting up the easier downfield passes for Foles' big arm. How they move down: If they let LeSean McCoy get contained as a runner. He's their ticket back to the playoff race. What's next: at Buccaneers, where Chip Kelly will give it an old college try vs. Greg Schiano. MORE: Michael Vick day to day with hamstring Previous Next Previous Next 22 32 22 Atlanta Falcons (1-4) Last week: 18 Why they're here: Take your pick, but the No. 1 reason is injuries. Even a bye might not help them heal up enough, as Steven Jackson, Julio Jones and Roddy White are a hurting trio that's hard to overcome. The defensive walking wounded has shown their big issue with depth. How they move up: Figure out Plan B during that bye, and come out with a different attitude: Playing with nothing to lose, be aggressive with the passing game and ride Matt Ryan.. How they move down: If they can't get Tony Gonzalez any more help. What was a loaded Atlanta offense has become very limited. What's next: vs. Buccaneers, the first of several must-win games. MORE: Julio Jones has serious foot injury Previous Next Previous Next 23 32 23 Arizona Cardinals (3-2) Last week: 25 Why they're here: They have gotten arguably the worst quarterback play in the league from Carson Palmer, but thanks to return of Darryl Washington, their defense is bearing the burden of winning, like it did in ripping Carolina. How they move up: Find something offensively that works, because neither offseason addition, Palmer or running back Rashard Mendenhall, should be inspiring to Bruce Arians. How they move down: If they keep faith in Palmer and the downfield passing game Arians wants to use. It just doesn't suit them. What's next: at 49ers, where Palmer will face a lot more heat. MORE: Teams with longest playoff droughts Previous Next Previous Next 24 32 24 Oakland Raiders (2-3) Last week: 30 Why they're here: Terrelle Pryor was the right choice at quarterback, as he's been growing more confident and efficient as a passer with the running threat always in his back pocket. The Chargers just learned that on Sunday night. How they move up: Find someone to help their hurting traditional running game. Maybe recently rewarded Marcel Reece can be that guy. How they move down: Make Pryor try to do too much. He's got better-than-you-think receivers such as Rod Streater and Denarius Moore who can make big plays after the catch. What's next: at Chiefs, where Pryor can dink and dunk opposite Alex Smith. TUCKER: He's a 'believer' in Pryor Previous Next Previous Next 25 32 25 St. Louis Rams (2-3) Last week: 24 Why they're here: The Rams didn't make it easy against the Jaguars, but they made enough defensive plays to overcome some more inspired big plays from lowly visitors. How they move up: They need Sam Bradford and the offense to do better things against non-offensively-challenged teams. How they move down: If their running game, even with Zac Stacy, looks more pedestrian than anything that can help Bradford. What's next: at Texans, where they'll face a much tougher AFC South team. Previous Next Previous Next 26 32 26 Buffalo Bills (2-3) Last week: 20 Why they're here: The Bills had a real chance to sneak above .500, then lost it when they lost E.J. Manuel to a knee injury. How they move up: Hope that running the same kind of offense with athletic practice squadder Thad Lewis will work, and the defense will play more like it did in Week 4. How they move down: If they can't keep Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller hot to complement Lewis. What's next: vs. Bengals, another Ohio-based opponent. MORE: Longest playoff win droughts Previous Next Previous Next 27 32 27 Washington Redskins (1-3) Last week: 25 Why they're here: The Redskins got the opportunity to restart their season with an early bye, and they should hope that makes for a better Robert Griffin III. Fixing the defense, however, may not be possible. How they move up: They get the running game going again, both from whoever's carrying the load in Week 6 and RG3. How they move down: Keep giving up more backbreaking pass plays, and thinking that blitzing is the way to get out of that funk. What's next: at Cowboys, where Tony Romo should be licking his chops. MORE: NFL to meet with Tribe about name controversy Previous Next Previous Next 28 32 28 Carolina Panthers (1-3) Last week: 21 Why they're here: The Panthers turned in a dud after the bye as Cam Newton wilted and their entire offense dried up in Arizona, despite a strong defensive effort. How they move up: Newton and the offense need to come through. It's that simple. How they move down: If their running game stagnates. They are dependent on that more than they think to take pressure off Newton. What's next: at Vikings, in another road dome against another struggling NFC team. MORE: Work environment tough on losing teams Previous Next Previous Next 29 32 29 Minnesota Vikings (1-3) Last week: 27 Why they're here: The Vikings are trying to figure out what they're doing at quarterback, so it's good they had a bye post their first win. Matt Cassel played a better caretaker than banged-up Christian Ponder to start, but now Josh Freeman is in the mix. How they move up: It's pretty simple for them. Ride Adrian Peterson as much as possible until they feel good about whoever's passing. How they move down: Continue to give up big plays all over the field defensively. Then it won't matter much what Peterson does. What's next: vs. Panthers, a good test from big-armed Cam Newton. MORE: Is Freeman the Vikings' answer? Previous Next Previous Next 30 32 30 Pittsburgh Steelers (0-4) Last week: 29 Why they're here: The Steelers had a lot of thinking and changing to do during their Week 5 bye, and they will hope that comes with some better health. How they move up: Their defense can't just be a yardage stuffing unit. It needs to turn up the pressure and force takeaways, or it will be a long rest of the season. How they move down: If they can't get their running game going so their offensive line can get out of a slump by being more enforcer than on its heels. What's next: at Jets, against a surprising team whose defense can give them the old problems. Previous Next Previous Next 31 32 31 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-4) Last week: 31 Why they're here: The Buccaneers have moved on from Josh Freeman, handing the keys to rookie Mike Glennon for good. They'll see if that gets them a win after the bye. How they move up: Get running back Doug Martin going, and that is in front of them with a great matchup vs. Philadelphia defense. How they move down: Hold black Glennon. He needs to get the ball to both Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams to stretch the field, or Martin won't see any running room. What's next: vs. Eagles, where Greg Schiano will need to prove he hasn't lost the entire team. Previous Next Previous Next 32 32 32 Jacksonville Jaguars (0-5) Last week: 32 Why they're here: The Jaguars saw their most life with Blaine Gabbert playing his hometown Rams, enough to slide up a spot. Unfortunately, it came at the cost of Gabbert being hurt. How they move up: Keep taking advantage of their receiving talent with Justin Blackmon back, and hope that Chad Henne will get enough protection to do so. How they move down: If they embarrass themselves more than ever against Peyton Manning and Denver. What's next: at Broncos, where the Jaguars will try to get within four touchdowns. MORE: Jags bad, but not the worst Previous Next Previous Next 33 32 33 New York Giants (0-5) Last week: 28 Why they're here: This is getting out of hand, and given the talent level, they deserve to be dragged behind the Jaguars. The Giants even managed to be sloppier team than the Eagles, even when it looked like their offense was getting back on track. The defense remains a major liability, too. How they move up: Eli Manning helping them overcome by playing like Eli Manning would be helpful. What's next: at Bears, a team that can smell their turnover troubles from 785 miles away.

A volcano in New Zealand is spewing steam and sediment out of a hot lake. There has been a big increase in activity at the site in recent weeks. That has experts worried because the area is a popular tourist destination and the volcano could blow with little or no warning.
A surveillance camera was rolling during this dramatic rescue at a Spanish train station. You can see a woman on the platform faints, falling onto the tracks. With a train approaching, an off-duty police officer jumped down and dragged the woman to safety. Other passengers managed to signal the train operator to stop before approaching the platform area. The woman who fell made a full recovery.
No mountain, no problem. These ice climbers scaled a frozen silo in Iowa. Some of the climbers were doing it for credit at a local college.
Others were just in it for the fun.

One thing nearly always leads to another, when you're doing library research. Last week a patron asked us to find the text of an old poem about the Kalamazoo River; while hunting it down, Local History librarian David DeVries discovered this gem in the history room Poetry file. Undated, the accompanying note said that it had been reprinted by request in the Kalamazoo Telegraph, though "doubtless many in Kalamazoo have read it."
From the madding crowd they stand apart, The maidens four and the Work of Art; And none might tell from sight alone In which had Culture ripest grown-- The Gotham Million fair to see, The Philadelphia Pedigree, The Boston Mind of Azure hue, Or the soulful Soul from Kalamazoo-- For all loved art in a seemly way, With an earnest soul and a capital A. Long they worshipped; but no one broke The sacred stillness, until up spoke The Western one from the nameless place, Who, blushing, said: "What a lovely vase!" Over three faces a sad smile flew, And they edged away from Kalamazoo. But Gotham's haughty soul was stirred To crush the stranger with one small word. Deftly hiding reproof in praise, She cries: "'Tis, indeed, a lovely vaze!" But brief her unlovely triumph when The lofty one from the house of Penn, With the consciousness of two grandpapas, Exclaims: "It is quite a lovely vahs!" And glances around with an anxious thrill, Awaiting the word of Beacon Hill. But the Boston maid smiles courteouslee And gently murmurs: "Oh pardon me! I did not catch your remark, because I was so entranced with that lovely vaws!" James Jeffry Roche 1847-1908

The government yesterday officially set the pace for writing the country's new Constitution after the National Assembly passed the Constitution Review Bill, 2011 amid objection from two opposition parties.
The two opposition parties that strongly objected to the Bill, Chadema and NCCR-Mageuzi boycotted the debate on the Bill, which begun on Monday, on the grounds that it did not follow proper legal procedures.
According to the two opposition parties, the Bill was required to be tabled in Parliament for First Reading, not Second Reading.
Winding up the debate yesterday the Minister for Constitutional and Legal Affairs Celina Kombani defended the Bill, saying all legal procedures were followed.
She said considering the fact that the Bill was tabled for First Reading in Parliament in April this year it would have been improper to bring it again for First Reading in the 5th Parliamentary meeting that concludes its business today.
She said opposition parties were not telling the public the truth that public hearings were held in Dodoma, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar.
After passing the Bill, Speaker Anne Makinda told the National Assembly that she held a meeting with the leader of the official opposition in Parliament Freeman Mbowe on Thursday with the objective of listening to their concerns.
"During the meeting with the leader of the opposition in Parliament I asked them to tell me the problem behind their walking out of the House on Monday but up to end of our meeting we agreed to disagree," she said.
She added: "After passing through the Parliamentary standing orders governing the handling of Bills I did not see where I went wrong in handling the just concluded Bill."
She criticised Chadema and NCCR- Mageuzi MPs for walking out, saying their decision was unjustified. "The mistake they made was to walk out.
If they had reservations and objections they should have remained in the chamber where they would have made their voices heard,'" she said.
She said by not contributing to the Bill they did not do justice to their voters.
"They also did not fulfill their Constitutional obligations."
Announcing the amendments to the passed Bill, Kombani said the government dropped its proposal that wanted both, the presidents of the United Republic and Zanzibar to get advice of Attorney General of the United Republic and Zanzibar in appointing members of the Constitutional Review Commission ( CRC), instead the two presidents would discharge such a responsibility on their own.
The envinsaged new Constitution is set to be inaugurated on April, 26, 2014.

I have an article out today on Jonathan Glazer's new film Under The Skin in Film International.
As I write, in part, "Under The Skin is being sold on the basis of a simple premise, which is true on the face of it, but also offers just the merest suggestion of what the film is in its totality. Scarlett Johansson plays an alien inhabiting a woman's body, who trolls through the Scottish countryside and cities searching for young men, enticing them with the promise of a sexual encounter, and then killing them for food.
In this, she is monitored by another alien, who takes on the form of a sinister motorcyclist (played by real life champion cyclist Jeremy McWilliams), who is there to make sure that Johansson's character stays on track with her mission. That's pretty much the plot, or as much of it as I want to give away, but there's a great deal more going on here than this bare outline would suggest.
Firstly, there's no real sex in the film, just the promise of sex. Although Johansson lures several men into her white van during the first third of the film, and then takes them back to her flat, ostensibly for sex, nothing really happens; the men strip off and approach Johansson, who backs away from them, as the men sink into some sort of primordial ooze that swallows them up, and then reduces them to fleshy pulp for otherworldly consumption. Indeed, there is more frontal male nudity here than female, and it's clear that one of the many things that the film is interested in is the fetishization of sex; Johansson's simulacric image has been created as nothing more than a stock male fantasy.
We get only one glimpse of the actual harvesting process, in which two men, both victims, are now in a sort of limbo, and desperately attempt to touch each other to make some sort of contact, and perhaps escape the trap they've fallen into. But no such luck; in an instant, one of the men is reduced to nothing more than a human husk, and the pulp of his body is sucked through a chute into a door of some kind, food for Johansson's cohorts in a distant galaxy.
Although there are a number of scenes in the film in which Johansson is nude, they're sequences in which, as an alien, she examines her new body, and wonders at its construction, and why it's so alluring to her victims. In the opening third of the film, she is utterly without humanity, clubbing one man to death on a beach and leaving an infant baby to be swept out into the tide without even the slightest shred of remorse. But then again, she's not human – she doesn't understand the meaning of the word."
This is a remarkable film, but you'll have to seek it out; see it as soon as you can.

Love Media
this wiki
Love Media, is a fictional media conglomerate in the Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
Owned by Donald Love, Love Media is described as "The fastest growing US-run media conglomerate in the past five years", controlling approximately "900 radio stations, 300 television stations, 4 networks, 3 satellites, [and] 10 senators", with the Love Media brand name; its base of operation is situated south Bedford Point, Staunton Island, in Liberty City.
Love's announcements or related commercials are evident in certain player accessed radio stations, including Head Radio, Flashback 95.6, Double Cleff FM, and Chatterbox FM. Love Media also owns the Liberty Tree, Liberty City's local newspaper. Other acquisitions and interests include pet food and health insurance. They also own Bitch'n' Dog Food.
Donald Love is believed to had only begun doing business in Liberty City from early-2001 onwards, indicating that Love Media was quick in either its founding or acquisition of many companies in Liberty City within months (the time period of GTA III is supposedly late 2001). This was done as a response to the return of Barry Harcross, a recently acquitted businessman and long time rival of Donald Love, to the city. However, several possible continuity errors are also noted: Love had apparently operated in Liberty City in 1998 (although he was seen working in a different office building) and already owns several radio stations and newspapers, contrary to what the aforementioned 2001 Liberty Tree articles claims.
After Donald Love's disappearance in GTA III, the fate of the conglomerate is left unknown, although he still makes announcements on Chatterbox FM.
- The Love Media logo can be seen on the front cover of an issue of the Liberty Tree in Grand Theft Auto IV, although this and the article on Donald Love it accompanies can probably be dismissed as an easter egg.
- In Liberty City Stories, Love Media is the instigator of the Car-azy Car Give Away side mission.
- The Love Media has their own [[1]] website, created by the Rockstar Games.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Gold Cross EMS notified the East Regional EMS that it is withdrawing its request to change who is the primary EMS provider in Richmond County.
Currently, Gold Cross EMS and the Augusta Fire Department share the title as co-primary providers for ambulance service in the county.
The CEO of Gold Cross EMS released this statement to News 12: "Our paramedics and EMTs provide the community with an exceptional level of emergency care and whether or not we are under contract with the City of Augusta, Gold Cross is committed to continuing our commitment to the community."
Last week, the East Regional EMS Council put off a vote on the ambulance dispute.
Originally, Gold Cross wants to take over as primary provider in Richmond County after new Augusta Fire Chief Chris James said he wasn't happy with the current contract.
That vote would more than likely have not taken place until February. Now, the two organizations will continue to be co-primary providers of emergency services.

Time Constraints: ASAP (if someone contacts me and tells me a time they can work on it i'll accept that)
On the island, the river is supposed to be on the mountain with a city on the mountain(on a cliff or mesa or something). The towns name is cut off so here it is, Coningsstowcliff-on-Wall, it is a port town and the nations capital. The river's name is yiles. The mountain is Prince Jeikeu. The terrian of the island is flat farmland. There is a town next to the lake named Lake Pimmsworth on the peninsula it is called Long Pinchnessland-under-Fivetown. The terrain of the peninsula is thick forrest except around the lake and town it's clear-cut and desert-like. Oh the port on the peninsula is named Port Tensby-by-Fire and is on a beach/grassland terrain.
Any other questions please feel free to ask

Rosh Hashona: The Journey of the Spiritual Searcher
Rabbi Eliyahu Yaakov helps prepare you for the Jewish new year!
As we move towards Rosh Hashona, the new year according to Judaism, it is a time for for looking back as well as looking forward. It is a time to revaluate who we have been and who we want to be. It is a time where we take a step back, look at our lives, our interpersonal relationships, and our relationship with God, and, in a sense, hit the restart button.If we are going to "restart" the journey of our lives right, I think it is imperative that we revisit the life of the original Jewish journeyman – Abraham. The first time that God makes a prophetic appearance to Abraham, God tells him, "Go, to yourself, from your land, and from your birthplace, and from your father's house..."
If we take a close look at this verse, a number of things don't seem to sit right. First of all, the verse begins with a very strange phrase: "Go to yourself." What does that mean and what can we learn from it? Furthermore, God tells Abraham to leave his land, his birthplace, and his father's house. Why list all three? Couldn't God get the message across with "Hey Abe, it's time for you to leave your land"? After all, his birthplace and his father's house are included within his land. Is God just trying to rub it in and make it more painful? And even if God wants to list all three of them individually for whatever reason, why in that order? Isn't it backwards? Should the verse not read "father's house, birthplace, land"? When I took God up on this verse and moved to Israel, I initially left Teaneck, New Jersey, then the New York/New Jersey region, and then the United States of America. The way this verse appears, it is as if God said to me, "Eliyahu, leave the USA, the New York area, and your house in Teaneck." Why tell me to leave New York or Teaneck if I'm already out of the country?
Unique Potential
The Kabbalists teach that this verse can instill within a person a deep sense of individuality. As mentioned, all that happens to us and all that we are born with has been custom designed to our unique soul in order that we make choices in life under those specific conditions. Some people are born into wealthy families; others are born into poor families. Some are born into a more religiously observant environment; others are born into a completely secular surrounding. Some people grow up in stable, healthy homes while others grow up in broken dysfunctional ones. Each one of us is given exactly what we need to be given in order to achieve what we need to achieve through making the choices we need to make under these specific circumstances. The idea of "go to yourself" mentioned in the Torah means to go towards one's unique potential — the reality of who you can be.

Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia is a disorder passed down through families. It causes high amounts of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
Type III hyperlipoproteinemia; Deficient or defective apolipoprotein E
A genetic defect causes this condition. The defect results in the buildup of large lipoprotein particles that contain both cholesterol and a type of fat called triglycerides. The disease is linked to defects in the gene for apolipoprotein E in many cases.
Hypothyroidism, obesity, or diabetes can make the condition worse. Risk factors for familial dysbetalipoproteinemia include a family history of the disorder or coronary artery disease.
Symptoms may not be seen until age 20 or older.
Yellow deposits of fatty material in the skin called xanthomas may appear on the eyelids, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, or on the tendons of the knees and elbows.
Other symptoms may include:
Tests that may be done to diagnose this condition include:
The goal of treatment is to control conditions such as obesity, hypothyroidism, and diabetes.
Making diet changes to reduce calories, saturated fats, and cholesterol may help lower blood cholesterol.
If cholesterol and triglyceride levels are still high after you have made diet changes, your doctor may have you take medicines as well. Medicine to lower blood triglyceride and cholesterol levels include:
People with this condition have an increased risk for coronary artery disease and peripheral vascular disease.
With treatment, most people are able to greatly reduce their lipid levels.
Call your health care provider if you have been diagnosed with this disorder and:
Screening the family members of people with this condition may lead to early detection and treatment.
Getting treated early and limiting other risk factors such as smoking can help prevent early heart attacks, strokes, and blocked blood vessels.
