Is There An "America's Ugliest Town" Contest I Don't Know About?
Jim Burroway
May 31st, 2012
It seems that everyone is looking for their Big Viral Internet Meme in the sun. The problem is, some of those viruses are deadly. A pastor in Newton, North Carolina wants to round up gay people and put them in concentration camps; his flock stands behind him. Another pastor, Curtis Knapp of New Hope Baptist Church in Seneca, Kansas, says that gays should be killed:
They should be put to death. That's what happened in Israel. That's why homosexuality wouldn't have grown in Israel. It tends to limit conversions. It tends to limit people coming out of the closet. — 'Oh, so you're saying we should go out and start killing them, no?' — I'm saying the government should. They won't but they should. [You say], 'oh, I can't believe you, you're horrible. You're a backwards neanderthal of a person.' Is that what you're calling scripture? Is God a neanderthal backwards.. in his morality? Is it his word or not? If it's his word, he commanded it. It's his idea, not mine. And I'm not ashamed of it."
Knapp later claimed that he really didn't mean it, using words to suggest that he really, deep down, did. "We punish pedophilia. We punish incest. We punish polygamy and various things. It's only homosexuality that is lifted out as an exemption," he told CNN.
And then there's the viral video of a four year old boy at the Apostolic Truth Tabernacle in Greensburg, Indiana, singing, "Ain't no homo's gonna make it to heaven." The congregation leapt to its feet in shouts and applause. Someone — a parent probably? — shouted "That's my boy!" They loved it so much that they brought the kid up for an encore. Greensburg is where 14-year-old Billy Lucas killed himself because he was perceived as being gay. The community banded together for a massive cover-up, but Billy's memorial page on Facebook told the real story, leading me to dub Greensburg America's Ugliest Town.
And you know what? It apparently still is, although several other pastors are trying to put their own towns in the running.
Greensburg, Indiana: America's Ugliest Town
Jim Burroway
September 17th, 2010
Want more reasons to be furious over Billy Lucas' suicide?
Homophobic hate messages were left Thursday on a memorial page set up for Billy Lucas, a Greensburg High School student who killed himself last week after being mercilessly bullied, friends said. Numerous images were uploaded to a Facebook group, giving visitors a taste of the kind of hate Lucas endured, friends said.
The messages chided the teen about defending himself and made attacks on his presumed sexuality, 6News' Joanna Massee reported. Lucas was found hanged in a barn at his grandmother's house last week. Some of the messages attempted to make light of the way Lucas died.
In Greensburg, bullying doesn't end with death. It goes on beyond the grave to torment those left behind. Greensburg, Indiana right now is the ugliest town in America.
More details from Billy Lucas' last day
Timothy Kincaid
September 17th, 2010
More details have come out about the day that 14-year-old Billy Lucas took life. (WISHTV.com)
His mom last saw him around 8 p.m. that night as he put up the horses. In the police report she says he "was acting strange earlier and called 911…he told the dispatcher he was causing problems for his mom and people should come". She told police she didn't know why he called and told dispatchers there was no problem and not to come.
Billy had been suspended from school that day. Friends say he was fighting back with cuss words against the bullies. They say girls were harassing him in class when he stood up and let the words spew. He was suspended.
Jade Sansing met Billy as he was being harassed a year ago. She tells 24 Hour News 8 of his final days "everything seemed normal, but he did tell me some people were making fun of him and I told him I would help him and I did." Help from Jade is now memories in the Facebook memorial page she created. She says, "I made a Billy Lucas memorial page so I could say my last goodbyes and everyone could know about the bullying." She had to make her last goodbyes on the internet because there was no public funeral for Billy. Jade says the bullies would call Billy "gay and tell him to go kill himself." Karen questions, "You actually heard people tell him go kill yourself?" She answers "yes".
As for the school? They are denying everything.
The coroner and Greensburg school district say there is no evidence bullying led up to the suicide.
There is nothing about this story that doesn't leave me furious and near tears.
With a mother like this, who needs bullies?
Timothy Kincaid
September 16th, 2010
The mother of Billy Lucas is defending Billy… from assumptions that he was gay. (Fox 59)
The mother of a teen who killed himself after being bullied is speaking out. Annie Lucas told the Greensburg Daily News that billy was not gay and added that he was too young to know what he was.
She says quote:"I know everyone has these assumptions but they're not true. I know he was bullied. It wasn't that he was gay. He was bullied for everything."
She goes on to say, "I don't want this to turn into a gay activist thing. I don't want it to turn into anything."
How many gay kids have heard, "you're not gay, you're too young to know anyway" from a parent that was far more concerned about their own social standing, religious opinion, or selfish plans for their child than they were about the mental health of the kid trying to open up to them?
As we've said from the beginning, we don't know if Billy was gay.
But I do know that the bullying he experienced was primarily over assumptions about his sexual orientation. And I do know that if I were a bullied gay kid with this mother, life just might seem unbearable.
And now Annie Lucas is trying to make his death meaningless.
UPDATE: I believe I neglected to share a detail that may have influenced my thinking on this matter. When reading the various news stories about Billy's suicide, I ran across this comment:
Lucas had a history of fighting with his mother and problems at school.
Although I did not include it in my original commentary, it did impact the extent to which this story touched me. I felt that this poor kid may have had no adults in his corner and I do think that it is likely that his lack of a support network at home or school or anywhere really contributed to his overall feeling of worthlessness.
Indiana kid bullied to death
Timothy Kincaid
September 14th, 2010
I'm usually detached enough that this stuff doesn't get to me. But for some reason, Billy Lucas' story has me on the verge of tears. (Fox 59)
He was a teenager who didn't quite fit in. His classmates said Billy Lucas was bullied for being different.
The 15-year-old never told anyone he was gay but students at Greensburg High School thought he was and so they picked on him.
"People would call him 'fag' and stuff like that, just make fun of him because he's different basically," said student Dillen Swango.
Students told Fox59 News it was common knowledge that children bullied Billy and from what they said, it was getting worse. Last Thursday, Billy's mother found him dead inside their barn. He had hung himself.
I am sick of reading this story over and over and over and the only change is the name. But I am even more sick, disgusted, and outraged at hearing "I didn't know" excuses and blame-the-victim justifications from administrators who ignored the abuse – often deliberately.
This time the 'I Don't Give A Damn Award' goes to Principal Phil Chapple, who had no idea that Lucas was being bullied. Nope, no clue.
But he did say this:
"Sometimes he created that atmosphere around him," Chappel said. "Kind of like a little tornado because he went around doing things that made dust fly, I guess."
So Chappel saw dust fly, but never noticed that kids were threatening Billy every day. Un-huh. And he admits that his problems were because "people found out who he was."
So I guess Chappel's version is that Billy "created that atmosphere" by being "who he was" and "went around doing things" that "made dust fly" but Chappel never noticed any bullying, no sir. In his rush to blame Lucas for his own mistreatment, Chappel didn't even see the internal contradiction in his own story.
So now that the news cameras are on him, what is Chappel doing? Is he contacting GLSEN? Is he instating long-tested anti-bullying programs? Is he letting the teachers know that there will be no tolerance for anti-gay bullying? Is he even acknowledging that this has LONG been a problem at Greensburg High? (Eyewitness News)
school administrators met Monday to discuss forming a committee that would include students and parents to help battle the bullying issues
Chappel's newfound awareness of bullying is total bull. Another previous student – one who survived his own suicide attempt – told school officials about his anti-gay bullying. They did nothing.
I guess Chappel thought that he too "created that atmosphere."

The Orb of Contemplation was one of the nine original orbs sent by the Prophets out of the Bajoran wormhole.
In 2374, it was housed in the Bajoran Temple on Deep Space 9. Jadzia Dax was in the temple, praying to the Prophets through the orb, when Gul Dukat, possessed by a Pah-wraith transported into the shrine. He fatally wounded Jadzia before releasing the Wraith into the orb. This allowed the Pah-Wraiths to enter the wormhole, collapsing its entrance and starting a celestial war between the Prophets and the Pah-wraith. (DS9: "Tears of the Prophets")

The Des Moines Register newspaper reports Rick Santorum beat Mitt Romney by 34 votes in the Iowa Caucuses. Romney was declared the initial winner earlier this month, by just eight votes.
Republican Party of Iowa officials are set to release certified vote totals from the Jan. 3 caucuses, the closest outcome in the event's history. The announcement was scheduled for 9:15 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday.
The Des Moines Register says some of the votes from the precincts will never be certified. "There are too many holes in the certified totals from the Iowa caucuses to know for certain who won, but Rick Santorum wound up with a 34-vote advantage," the paper reported Thursday.
Romney is currently leading the polls in South Carolina, where voters will go to the polls on Saturday.

10 Year Auction Spooked By Looming Minutes, Tails 1.1 Bps, Still Prices At Lowest Yield Since June 2013
Ahead of the FOMC Minutes, many seem to have taken a cue from DB's bond trading recos, and taken a flier on today's just concluded reopening of $21 billion in 10 Year paper (technically 9 year 10 month), which probably explains why the 10 year paper just priced at 2.597%, a rather gappy 1.1bps tail to the 2.586% When Issued. Still, pricing at just under 2.60%, this was the lowest 10 Year high yield in over a year, since the 2.21% in June 2013. Considering the recent surge in negative repo rates, expect any freely floating paper to be promptly mopped up despite the apparently weak auction.
The internals were nothing to write home about: the Bid to Cover was 2.57, the lowest since February, and below the 2.68 TTM average. Just like yesterday's 3 Year, Directs were scarce and took down just 13.9%, the lowest since January, and well below the 21.6% takedown hit in May (highest of 2014). Indirects were flat at 39.6%, up from 36.1% a month earlier, if also below the 43.9 average. This means the Dealers were left holding 46.5% of the auction, far above the 37.4 average and the highest since May of 2013 when Dealers were left holding 49.2%.
Of course, with the auction coming just an hour ahead of FOMC Minutes which many suspect may come in more hawkish than any in recent years, it is no surprise that both the auction and the bond market reaction were less than enthused. Our advice: wait until the Minutes smoke clears before deciding what the real demand for high quality collateral truly is.

Spooked? Don't be silly you primary dealers banksters, you know you'll be bailed in yet again by the Fed.
Bailed out... It's the accountholders who will be bailed in
Can't speak for the laws of Belgium but if treasuries stay where they are for ten years...annuities are the "greatest deal ever that just got a little less great"...but are still better than a savings account.
That would have to be a VERY well run insurance company of course.
Those UST's will be bought. Just possibly a few bps higher in an hour from now.
Right, no reason for any jitters. The flip is built in.
i guess no one at the auction was tipped off early.
"The only true collateral is gold."
And the only rule with gold is "never use it for collateral."
China obviously is on a borrowing binge to end all borrowing binges. "They will use treasuries for their collateral." So exactly WHAT are they buying with all those trillions then?
Food? Check.
Energy? Check.
Distribution? (Google "Nicaraugua Canal etc.) Check.
And a mountain of debt so they can sell into demand (credit card, home, auto.)
These folks who outsourced their entire industry have been fools. "They destroyed their own demand"...and now the Chinese are selling into that!
Maybe they just make superior products of course. It's hard to imagine a bigger market than North America's...outside of China's of course.
Spooked...but the interest rates are lower.....how does that happen.....lol
Do not forget the Draghi speech 30 minutes after the FOMC minutes release.
The Fed will say good words of hope, and so will the Draghi....nothing to fear here as usual.
Sorry, but I'd rather forget.
Nothing to fear but fear itself......indeed.
here's how to trade the fed minutes, meetings etc. JUST FUCKING BUY LIKE A DRUNKEN MONKEY before they announce anything, they are working for the banks, duh,

According to the 2013 National Association of REALTORS® Member Profile, real estate professionals earn an average of 21 percent of their business through referrals from past clients and customers. Brokers and agents with stronger referral networks also tend to earn more: REALTORS® earning $150,000 or more report that 29 percent of their business comes from referrals, while those earning between $10,000 and $24,999 say that referrals make up only 18 percent of their business.
It's time to start thinking differently about building a referral network. Your agents should seek referrals from past clients, current customers, other REALTORS® and local service providers, but you can inspire them to take a new approach. Expanding the network is about using social media to create a solid sphere of influence and build a persona of authority in order to upgrade the referral cycle.
Remind your team of the 80/20 rule: 20 percent of online marketing can promote your brand, but the other 80 percent of the content you post should focus on your audience's interests and what will engage them. The point is to make your website content likeable and shareable to expand your sphere of influence.
Create a Facebook business page and use it to its fullest potential. After you've established your company's business page, click on "Build Audience" to find ways to get followers and increase page likes. Ask your agents to link to your company's page, and watch your online network grow exponentially. When posting on Facebook (and other platforms), think about piquing the interests of your audience per the 80/20 rule, and be diligent about engaging your influencers so that they're likely to respond to your posts and share your content.
During the 20 percent of the time in which you devote to talking about business, think about the sharing potential of those posts, too. While explaining your company's expertise and what you can do for clients, include information that your audience can use: Offer helpful statistics, a discount, or a useful infographic. You can also take advantage of posts by other industry influencers: Comment on or share posts from other real estate professionals to get a conversation going. While talking to colleagues online, don't be shy about publicly telling them you've sent a client their way, or expressing gratitude when they send business to you; these exchanges draw positive attention to each of you.
When looking for likeable, shareable content for your social media accounts, become an authority on the neighborhoods in your market. There are a lot of locally-focused websites that agents can join to maximize their reach. Encourage agents to share photos they've taken around their neighborhoods on Instagram, start a conversation about civic matters they care about on EveryBlock, or post a review on the town's blog or Facebook page. Referral-worthy agents brand themselves as the go-to resource for information about the area.
When it comes to upgrading the referral cycle, offer your agents a few lessons. First, create a solid sphere of influence on social media through informative posts that will engage both audience and influencers. Next, build a persona of authority by becoming the go-to resource for information that interests clients and colleagues. And while you're at it, give referrals to get referrals.

Though the online video ad load is still not as heavy as on traditional TV, it remains one of the fastest-growing online ad formats—and an effective one to boot, research suggests.
Digital advertising solutions provider MediaMind analyzed the performance of a variety of display ad formats served in the US during June. In-stream video ads, including video ad-serving template (VAST) and video player-ad interface definition (VPAID) formats, performed dramatically better than both standard banners and banners involving rich media, with or without video.
In-stream VAST ads, which had the highest clickthrough rates of any format, showed a long-term increase in clicks since the beginning of 2011. In Q1 of that year, VAST clickthrough rates were 0.77%, rising to 1.3% in Q2 and 1.77% by Q4. Though Q2 of this year showed a slight dip compared with Q1 (down from 3.09% to 3.05%), performance is now holding steadily higher than for other ad formats.
VPAID ads had the highest completion rate, and VAST ads were not far behind. The completion rate for rich media ads with video was several points lower.
MediaMind explained the lower clickthrough rates on VPAID ads vs. VAST ads by noting that the units tend to focus on branding over direct response, that the ads themselves are interactive, meaning clicks are not always necessary, and the ads often appear in long-form video content where clicking would be disruptive to the experience. The firm noted that despite the lower clickthrough rate, interaction rates were high on VPAID ads, at 9.57%.

Researchers at APG are creating a synthetic drug detector
ABERDEEN, Md. - A couple charged with child neglect was found by police over the weekend in Annapolis. Officers say they were passed out in their car while their infant was in the back seat.
Police believe they coupled passed out after smoking synthetic marijuana . Officers found a bag of K2 in the car.
RELATED: Parents' arrest highlights danger of synthetic marijuana
Investigators had to send that substance out to a lab to confirm it is synthetic marijuana. Right now, scientists at Aberdeen Proving Ground are creating a device to help police test for synthetic drugs.
Today, our camera saw the work underway inside their labs (see video).
A team of four material engineers at the Army Research Lab at Aberdeen Proving Ground will soon help with police work and cracking down on synthetic drugs. They are creating a device to detect synthetics in the field.

"Once we figured out what synthetic cannabinoids were, they were present and very highly used within the military community, that's when they were reaching out to address this issue," said Dr. Mark Griep.
The team has been working with fancy equipment and liquids that glow in the dark for about two years. Dr. Griep breaks down the science behind it all.
"We use the same receptors that are in the human body. So when somebody develops a synthetic drug, they are looking for that drug to interact with a specific receptor in the body. We've been able to use that exact same receptor, build it into our system and in essence engineer a threshold level so anything that binds to that receptor really strongly and activates that receptor will turn on the sensor," said Dr. Griep.
Two years ago, the Army Criminal Investigation Command looked into over 1600 cases involving spice, bath salts, and other synthetic drugs. Dr. Griep says it's known that synthetics are tougher on the body.
"The synthetic versions of marijuana bind to that receptor about a thousand times harder," said Dr. Griep.
The team at the ARL hopes to have a working sensor for police by the end of the year. They say it will be able to detect synthetics even if a new drug comes out.

ERIE – Altoona seemed primed to sweep a doubleheader with the Erie SeaWolves on Saturday night but ended up settling for a split with a win in Game 1, 2-0, and an extra-innings walk-off loss in Game 2, 7-6. Alen Hanson drove in four runs in the two games for the Curve in the split.
In the first game, Joely Rodriguez (2-4) and Jhonathan Ramos combined on the team's third shutout win of the 2014 season. Rodriguez turned in his third quality start of the season in the win, tossing six innings and scattering two hits while whiffing five. All the runs the Curve needed in Game 1 came from Hanson's two-out, two-run single in the fifth inning.
Of the 13 runs the Curve had scored in the series to that point, 12 of them had been scored with two outs. Ramos pitched the seventh for his second save of the season and the Curve were riding a mini three-game winning streak heading into the second game. Also riding a hot bad into Game 2 was Mel Rojas, Jr., who reached base four times (a single and three walks) in the first game.
Things continued to roll the Curve's way in the second game when they picked up two runs in the first inning thanks to a two-out, two-runs ingle by Keon Broxton in the first inning off starter Nick Avila.
That lead stuck until the bottom of the second when Erie stole three bases in the inning and scored two runs, the second of which was unearned to starter Tyler Sample. That's where the game stayed until the fourth when Steven Moya, who proved to be a big player in the second game, hit the first of his home runs, this one a two-run homer that placed Erie in the lead for the first time in the series, 4-2.
The Curve, however, had an answer and it came in the form of Hanson's fifth home run of the season, a two-run homer in the fifth, and things were tied at four.
After Sample shut down the SeaWolves in the bottom of the fifth, the offense went back to work off reliever Bryan Augenstein in the sixth. Broxton led off the inning with a walk and then stole second before Justin Howard singled on the infield. Andy Vasquez followed and hit a double over first baseman Aaron Westlake to score Broxton and place the Curve back in front, 5-4.
That marked the end of the day for Augenstein, who gave way to Jose Valdez. He immediately came in and loaded up the bases by walking Kawika Emsley-Pai for Drew Maggi with no one out. Maggi bounced back to Valdez but he threw to first instead of home and another run touched home to make it, 6-4 Curve.
From there, things didn't seem to break the Curve's way the rest of the second game. With Vasquez at third and Emsley-Pai at second and one out, the Curve put the suicide squeeze on and it backfired. Gift Ngoepe, the man at the plate, couldn't get the bunt down and Vasquez was out at home. Emsley-Pai moved to third but was stranded there after Ngoepe later struck out.
In the bottom of the inning, Sample recorded the first two outs before walking Ramon Cabrera. Brandon Mann was summoned from the 'pen to try and hold the line. He got Dean Green to fly deep to right but Vasquez appeared to fall down as he got to the wall in right and the ball hopped over the wall for a ground-rule double. Moya followed and smacked a single off the glove of Ngoepe and into centerfield. Both runners scored and it tied the game at six.
Hanson reached to start the seventh, stole second with no one out and moved to third on a Rojas flyout to center. With him representing the go-ahead run at third, both Matt Curry and Broxton struck out to end the inning. Broxton was ejected after arguing a low called third strike to end the inning and the threat.
The game progressed to extra innings and in the eighth Mann retired the first two men before facing Moya again. With two strikes, Moya homered deep to right to end the game and send the Curve to a doubleheader split. Moya finished the second game 4-for-4 with two homers and six RBI for Erie.
Altoona (20-28) aims to secure a series win with a victory in Sunday afternoon's 1:35 p.m. game with Erie (19-28) at Jerry Uht Park. RHP Adrian Sampson (3-3, 2.17) starts for the Curve in his second appearance this season versus Erie. He'll be opposed by Tommy Collier (1-5, 7.78) on Sunday.

Colorado Springs police say there were more than 70 accidents Thursday morning as wintry weather hit the area for the first time this season.
The Colorado Springs Fire Department says one those accidents involved their one of their own fire trucks. The accident happened just after 9 a.m. at the intersection of Research and Lexington, when CSFD says the truck was hit by a driver that slid into the intersection and was unable to stop. The fire truck was returning from a call, and had the green light at the time according to CSFD.
The Fire Department said the driver in the other car was injured, and was transported to the hospital for treatment. No firefighters were hurt. In a statement released Thursday afternoon, CSFD said they were thankful the injuries were not more serious.
The fire truck sustained moderate damage, but the Fire Department says it will be able to stay in service.

North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue says residents should take this week to get prepared for hurricane season that starts next month.
Perdue has proclaimed May 22-28 as Hurricane Preparedness Week.
Residents are urged to create family emergency plans and prepare supply kits. Hurricane season begins June 1 and runs through November. Perdue says the deadly tornadoes that passed through the South in April should be reminders of the need to be prepared.
Residents also are encouraged to review and update homeowners' insurance policies now to make sure they include coverage for accidental damage and natural disasters. They also should make sure they are insured for flood damage.
Emergency supply kits should include enough nonperishable food and a gallon of water per person per day to last three to seven days.

Home Opinion Editorials Taxes and tire studs
Taxes and tire studs
It's about time the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) recognized that winter, and never mind the calendar, doesn't end on March 20.
Or, more to the point regarding the state's studded tire removal deadline, on April 1.
Frankly we figured ODOT wouldn't need to be reminded of this discrepancy, considering the agency's employees are out there plowing the passes during "spring" storms.
Oregon's official deadline for removing studded tires is, as we mentioned, April Fool's Day.
Well, ODOT has been fooled in four of the past five years. In each of those four years, the agency extended the deadline, to as late as April 11, because wintry weather persisted in the mountains.
The solution is obvious.
Reset the deadline to April 15.
Blizzards can happen later than that, but the chances drop considerably after April 15.
Besides which, that date has the great advantage of already ranking as a deadline of such power that it's practically a national holiday (albeit not an especially popular one).
Taxes done? Check.
Studs off? Ditto.

It was 50 years ago that the USPS debuted the zip code and it went over like a lead balloon. So they came up with a zip code character: Zippy. And then there's this video. Yes, it's long, but it's got a lot funny/lame moments in it.
I learned the first number of the zip code is the region that you live in, the next two numbers are your subregion, and the last two numbers are your post office number. So, in Champaign, our region is 6, subregion 18, post office number 21.

B.J. Raji Believed to Have Torn Bicep
The news isn't good for Green Bay Packers nose tackle B.J Raji, who left the team's game after two series with an arm injury, Friday night.
Ian Rapoport says the Packers believe Raji has a torn bicep.
The belief is that #Packers NT BJ Raji tore his bicep last night, sources say. Tests will show whether it's fully or partially torn.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 23, 2014
The key here is how bad of a tear it is. If it's fully torn, Raji, who's playing on a one-year contract, will likely be lost for the season. If it's a partial tear, Raji could be gone for as little as a few weeks.
The extent of the injury should be known later today.
After sucking the donkey sack playing defensive end for the majority of the last three years, Raji looked rejuvenated at his natural position of nose tackle this season. He was, at times, looking like the disruptive force he was back in 2010.
With Raji out of the lineup, the Packers will turn immediately to second-year player Josh Boyd and probably undrafted free agent Mike Pennel, who's been one of the surprises of camp. Letroy Guion, who the team signed in the offseason specifically to be Raji's backup, is also still on the roster. However, he hasn't played one snap in practice or a game for the Packers this preseason because he showed up with a hamstring injury.
Frankly, the Packers might as well just cut Guion at this point.
And yes, I'm getting there.
The Packers also have the option of picking up the phone and calling either Ryan Pickett or Johnny Jolly, both of whom played for the team last year, were not re-signed and remain free agents.
They'll first need to see how bad Raji's injury is, then determine if they have any faith in the young defensive linemen on the roster before making that call.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
Bullshit. Pickett & Jolly are not the answer.
They're old and slow and offered nothing in pass rush and little in run support. The myth of them occupying two blockers is just that. They averaged one tackle per game and NO impact plays.
Pickett will be 35 in just a few weeks.
Nobody knows if Jolly can come back with that neck.
Yeah, they got the option of calling them… if they're absolutely, fucking desperate.
Pennel was on the roster before this; will this open a door for Gray or Robinson?
Hope they go heavy on D.
Forget the fluff of a 6th WR or 5th TE.

Introducing "The Gavel"
Hey, Nancy Pelosi has a new blog, and it's legit! It's called "The Gavel," and it's a boon to C-SPAN junkies who can't watch TV during work hours. There's all sorts of neat video up now from House floor debate and Congressional hearings. It's wonky but cool. Also, be warned that it's kind of slow loading, either because there is so much video or because a ton of people are checking it out.

Looking for more (diverse) holiday cheer in Boynton Beach
'Tis the season to be jolly? Boynton Beach resident Herb Suss surely wasn't at last night's commission meeting.
He reprimanded commissioners for not recognizing Hanukkah and Kwanzaa amid talk of the city's holiday celebrations: a street parade, Jon Secada holiday concert and tree lighting on Dec. 6 and a boat parade Dec. 12.
"There are other groups in this city and nobody up there has mentioned anything about the African American community for the celebration of Kwanzaa and nobody has mentioned anything about Hanukkah," said Suss, who is Jewish.
Suss complained about commissioners' oversight during the Nov. 18 commission meeting. Commissioner Woodrow Hay said he's since received an e-mail about recognizing the Kwanzaa and Hanukkah holidays.
"This should have been done in the forethought," Suss said, "In the future, I ask that you have sensitivity and recognize other ethnic groups in the city."
But commissioner had no apologies. Mayor Jerry Taylor said: "I didn't say anything about Christmas, I said holidays."
Added Commissioner Ron Weiland: "If I'm correct there was a menorah and Kwanzaa display next to what was called a holiday tree."

Grands Fund Breast Cancer and Brain Tumor Research at UCSF
Nancy and Stephen
Nancy and Stephen Grand are longtime supporters of cancer causes. As a board member of the Karmanos Comprehensive Cancer Center in Detroit, Stephen developed a keen interest in medical research. Eager to continue their philanthropic involvement after moving to California, the Grands were attracted by the high caliber of research in two areas at the Comprehensive Cancer Center: breast oncology and glioblastoma, a highly malignant brain tumor. Gifts from the Grands totaling over $300,000 will fund pathbreaking research in these fields.
The cause of breast cancer hit close to home for the Grands, Stephen says, when he lost his mother to the disease. Her fate is shared by too many. "One in eight women will be devastated by breast cancer," he explains. "It's a frightening disease."
The Grands are committed to helping UCSF improve outcomes for these women. Their gift will fund the UCSF Breast Oncology Developmental Research Program, which stimulates and supports promising pilot projects in breast cancer research and transforms their findings into improved cancer management and control.
The Grands were equally impressed by a collaboration between UCSF and Israeli glioblastoma researchers. UCSF radiation oncologist Daphne Haas-Kogan, MD, along with a medicinal chemistry investigator from Bar Ilan University and an oncology researcher at Tel Aviv University, are exploring the genetic alterations responsible for glioblastoma tumors. They aim to develop novel therapies to treat this deadly disease. For the 10,000 patients diagnosed with glioblastoma each year—patients who face a one-year survival rate—these new treatments cannot come too soon.
"UCSF oncology researchers are outstanding. They are among the brightest you'll find," Stephen affirms. "To support them is to support the future of medicine."

2013 ACC NCOY competition goes virtual
April 18, 2013
By Mr. Larry D Mccaskill (ACC )
Related Links
During this year's Army Contracting Command Noncommissioned Officer of the Year competition, participants and judges will rely on technology more than ever as portions of the event will be conducted virtually.
Due to budget constraints, portions of the 2013 ACC NCOY competition will be conducted through video teleconferencing. The competition is scheduled for May 6-10.
"In some ways this will challenge our NCOs even more," said Command Sgt. Maj. John L. Murray, ACC command sergeant major. "The 12-mile foot march and the physical fitness test will be conducted at their home stations. Events like the formal board and exams can be done at home station but will be evaluated through the video teleconference. It certainly puts a different wrinkle in things. Performing in front of a camera can be a bit stressful."
Murray said ACC will select the best-qualified NCO to compete at the 2013 Army Materiel Command Best Warrior Competition. Units will assign sponsors for competitors whose primary mission is to be readily available to assist their competitors for the duration of the competition.
"It's great to watch the competition and see the warrior spirit not only in the competitors but from their unit sergeants major and others watching the events," he said. "Competition is a part of the Army and one of the attributes that make it so great. Everyone strives to be the best. An event like the NCO of the Year competition is one of the ways that individuals can demonstrate, without a doubt, who is the best."
The competition is open to all ACC NCOs in the rank of sergeant through sergeant 1st class. NCOs wishing to compete should contact their unit's senior NCO for more information or go to the ACC NCOY website on SharePoint, https://acc.aep.army.mil/NCOY/default.aspx

Cell Phone. Do I really need one?
My husband and I will be traveling to Europe for the first time in June. We are spending 2 weeks in Italy. I have read Europe Through the Back Door and browsed this website to help plan the trip. The only thing I really don't have nailed down is the phone. My husband and I use Verizon phones that won't work in Italy, so we would have to purchase a phone. I'm not against purchasing a phone as we hope this trip will be the first of many, so I'm sure we would use it again. I was close to buying a phone from EuroBuzz and then read this board, and saw that too many people had problems with the phone and EuroBuzz customer service. We will be taking our iPad with us to communicate with our sons at home. We are staying at B&Bs in Bologna, Florence, and Rome and all have requested that we communicate with them our arrival time. We have also booked some tours that have requested a cell # to call in case of emergency. I'm usually NOT an indecisive person, but the phone dilemma has me stumped. Please help!

President Bush got run off the track by the CIA analysts over at the Langley, who apparently, after being trampled by Vice President Dick Cheney and his Neo-Con and AIPAC-backed hordes into twisting intelligence into lies about Iraq's non-existent nuclear and WMD programs in 2002, decided that they wouldn't do the same thing this time on Iran for two lame-duck warmongers.
Instead of hyping Iran's centrifuges, which are churning out low-level nuclear fuel-grade uranium, and warning darkly of Iran being in the midst of some clandestine campaign to build a nuclear weapons capability, the analysts this time told the truth: that the evidence, public and secret, openly available and clandestinely obtained, shows that Iran ceased any nuclear weapons R&D efforts in 2003, and has done nothing since to revive them.
They said that the available evidence shows that while Iran could always risk world opprobrium and sanctions and restart its nuclear weapons program, it is years and years away from making a working nuke, even if it started today — and there is little likelihood that the country will start such a project.
The consensus opinion not just of the CIA, but also of 15 other US intelligence agencies, is that even if Iran were to decide tomorrow to start up its nuclear weapons program, it would take until 2015 for the country to produce enough plutonium or enriched U235 to make even one bomb.
To make their assessment clear, the authors of the latest National Intelligence Assessment on Iran resorted to boldfaced print to state: "This NIE does not [italics in original] assume that Iran intends to acquire nuclear weapons."
This document, which was ordered up by Congress, has to be a serious blow to the plans of Bush and Cheney, who have been gunning for Iran for several years now, ever since Bush labeled the country part of his "Axis of Evil."
Last fall, Bush and Cheney had appeared on the verge of launching an air assault on Iran's nuclear research and development complex, ordering the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle fleet to sea early following its refueling and refitting at Newport News, in time for it to join other Naval forces in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Seas including the Enterprise carrier group and even a fleet of minesweepers on the eve of the 2006 elections. That criminal plan, which I wrote about in the Nation at the time, appears to have been blocked by Republican elders and perhaps senior military brass (who apparently prevailed on former Secretary of State James Baker, who with former Rep. Lee Hamilton was heading up the Iraq Study Group, charged with coming up with a way out of the Iraq quagmire) to pull Bush's and Cheney's leash. Baker and Hamilton had all along vowed not to issue any preliminary hints of their study group's conclusions, saying that it would all be released in January 2007. But suddenly and seemingly inexplicably, they announced in October that they were going to conclude that the only way out of Iraq was for the US to begin negotiations with Syria and Iran to broker a peace in Iraq.
That early report release pulled the rug out of any plan for an Iran attack.
Since then, Bush and Cheney have labored mightily to ratchet up public fears of Iran's alleged nuclear ambitions, with Bush most recently warning of "World War III" if Iran so much as gained the "knowledge" of how to build nuclear weapons. Naval forces have again been built up, tankers full of bunker oil and aircraft fuel were dispatched to the region, and the talk has increasingly been of a US pre-emptive attack (with the corporate media for the most part playing willing cheerleader again. Newsweek magazine even reported word that Cheney had gone behind the State Department's back to importune Israel to attack Iran, so as to provoke retaliation and thus drag the US into a war (talk about impeachable treasonout behavior, though Newsweek didn't label it as such!).
Republican candidates for the presidential nomination, with the noted exception of fund-raising giant Rep. Ron Paul, have been trying to outdo each other in calling for an attack. And on the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton, ever the tough guy, voted in the Senate to label the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a "global terrorist organization" — a clear signal to Bush that it would be okay if he launched attacks on their bases.
Then came this NIE, like a knife in a hot-air balloon, deflating the whole project.
The embarrassment among the war-mongering would-be presidents of both parties is palpable.
But not so Bush.
While it is clear that he and Cheney have known for several months at least, and perhaps for years, that their intelligence agencies had concluded Iran had no nuclear program, and that there was no case for attacking Iran, Bush is pushing the big lie that he only just saw this NIE.
Bush is also trying to argue, incredibly, that the NIE is cause for alarm. A day after release of the report — which Cheney had tried desperately to alter for the past year, and which the administration tried unsuccessfully to block from public view — Bush insisted that Iran is "dangerous," and claimed, against all logic, that the NIE should be seen as a "warning signal." Under questioning from reporters, he refused to renounce the possible use of force against Iran.
Trying to keep the pressure on, he said, "I think it is very important for the international community to recognize the fact that if Iran were to develop the knowledge that they could transfer to a clandestine program, it would create a danger for the world."
As a number of scientists have hastened to point out however, that knowledge is as easy to obtain as the simple hiring of an unemployed Soviet nuclear physicist — or a quick trip to the library (something even Bhutan or Burundi could do). It's not the knowledge of nuclear weapons that is the danger — it's a program to build and test a nuclear device — and as the NIE clearly states, there is no indication that Iran is planning to start one.
Happily, I do believe that this is checkmate for Bush's and Cheney's Iran war plans.
They may still wreak havoc in Iraq. They may try to provoke some kind of incident with Iran on the border or in the Persian Gulf. They can still continue with their bankrupting of the US economy, and their gutting of health and safety and other regulations. They can still continue their efforts to help their oil industry backers rape the arctic environment. They can still obstruct efforts to attack climate change. But they are unlikely to get their way with an air assault and a new war against Iran.
It may even be fun to watch this pathetic president and his whacked mentor in Blair House try to re-inflate their war balloon.
Maybe, after seven years as the commander in chief of the world's most powerful nuclear nation, and before he goes out to pasture (or impeachment?), Bush will even try learning how to pronounce the word "nuclear" in an effort to get people to take him seriously.
If that's even possible.

In this July 5, 2012 photo, Amisha Patel, director of Grassroots Collaborative, a community-labor coalition, stands outside of Emmet Elementary School on Chicago's West Side. Patel is among skeptics who worry that investor-funded projects under the Chicago Infrastructure Trust could end up costing taxpayers more, and could skip over poorer neighborhoods where private firms may see less profit.
Stories this photo appears in:
More mega projects turning to private investors
For cities and states buried under mountains of debt, it has become a tantalizing proposition: invite private financial institutions to put up the money to fix aging schools, dilapidated rail lines and beat-up roads. Offer investors steady returns on the projects. And give the public the modern services its governments can no longer afford.

I took the bike case on a trip from Denver to California. I had two legs of the flight. It took some time to pack up the bike the first time, but on the return trip, it took me about 15 min. to pack it up. All of my gear and tools fit inside the case perfectly. The case performed perfectly. And more importantly, the bike was well protected.

Tuesday, April 16, 2013
After 150 years and multiple attempts at finding the elusive unmarked site, the mass grave that holds eight Confederate and 16 Union soldiers who died in the Battle of Moore's Mill, the lost cemetery's location has been uncovered.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of members of the Elijah Gates Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the remains of those killed in Callaway County's largest Civil War battle were confirmed in Calwood — just one foot from where initial speculation had placed it — following an underground sonar investigation that began April 5.
"I think obviously all of us are excited about the success of finding it, but I think what we're more excited about is that all of these soldiers on both sides will finally have their final resting place located and marked for the future to see," said Elijah Gates Camp Commander Noel Crowson.
"I think we all believe that no matter if you're Union or Confederate, if you die in combat in service to your country, you deserve to have your final resting place marked."
