Pink Gets Attacked For Being A Bad Parent!
by Daily Dish
posted Oct 30 2013 8:50AM
Chris Brown has just entered a rehab facility for anger management issues! The rumor is that it's to deal with his temper problems and to avoid a possible prison sentence. Chris Brown's attorney just dropped him off at a facility in Los Angeles yesterday. The move seems VERY calculated because the L.A. County probation department is going full force in its investigation to determine if Chris Brown violated his probation in the Rihanna case by getting arrested over the weekend after allegedly punching a man in the nose. My sources are telling me that the Probation Department will decide that Chris Brown violated his probation, and a judge could sentence him to as much as 4 years in jail. So, entering rehab could be a great move to show that he's trying to get better! I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Chris Brown will avoid jail time!
Pink is fighting back today and defending her parenting skills after fans attacked her for letting her 2 year old daughter Willow to go on a motorbike ride with her dad, Carey Hart! Pink's husband posted pictures on Instagram over the weekend of the adventure saying, "Been waiting for this day for a very long time.. Willz went for her 1st ride on my motorcycle around the pits today. She was pumped the whole time. When we stopped, she gave me a big hug and said it was fun, thank you Papa. That's my girl." AWE! Well, when some fans expressed concern that taking Willow, who wasn't wearing a helmet, out like that was dangerous, Pink, freaked out! She tweeted, "If any of u have more experience on a bike than my husband, then I will listen to your opinions on how he should take my daughter for a ride. I can't promise I will care, but I will listen none the less." Pink even retweeted some of the critical messages, along with her own responses. One person tweeted at her, "Wait until she's 16 and let her decide for herself. Bikes are no joke!" To which Pink replied, "Yeah ok. I've never met you but that's great." Good for Pink!
Is Will Smith's marriage in trouble? He and Jada Pinkett Smith haven't been publicly seen together for more than two months! This isn't the first time that rumors of marriage trouble have been spoken about before for the couple. Jada Pinkett has said, "Will and I can both do whatever we want because we trust each other to do so. This does not mean we have an open relationship. It means we have a grown one." But during a night out this week, Jada Pinkett Smith told a crowd of people that "when you are going through a storm with your spouse … stop thinking about what you 'believe' a husband or wife should be." Jada Pinkett Smith also reportedly told the crowd, "I thought success would make me happy … It does NOT." I'm being told that after more than fifteen of marriage, Will and Jada Smith are living separate lives. Will Smith has been in New Orleans since mid-September filming
and Jada Pinkett Smith has been traveling. When Will Smith's mother was reached for comment on the couple's marital struggles, she said, "Isn't that personal? … Thank you for your concern." Doesn't sound good to me!
This is so cool! Bob Barker is making a big return! It's all going down on The Price is Right! Bob Barker will come back for his 90
birthday! That's right, Bob Barker decided to return to
The Price Is Right
for another round of showcase showdowns! The pre-taped show will air on Bob Barker's birthday, Dec. 12th, during a weeklong celebration that will feature pet adoptions to honor the fact that he's a huge animal activist. Bob Barker has returned to the show only one other time since he handed over the microphone to comedian Drew Carey back in 2007. Bob Barker began hosting the show in 1972! He said, "I had a job that I loved. I was very well paid for it, and now I'm spending my money. I intend to die broke." CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM BACK AT IT, EVEN IF ONLY FOR ONE NIGHT!
Is she really going to drop her famous name? Kim Kardashian is definitely headed in that direction! That's because Kim Kardashian just revealed that she'll be taking Kanye West's name when they eventually get married! But don't worry! Her famous family name isn't TRULY going anywhere. She said it will be Kim Kardashian West. It may not even be hyphened. Kim will just look at her last name of Kardashian as if it's a middle name. Her sister Khloe did the same thing when she got married, legally becoming Khloe Kardashian Odom.

Show a calendar when choosing the due date
karsten.seiferlin says:
Entering due dates with the iPhone-typical wheels is nice but sometimes not very effective. For example, the day of week is not shown and I must check elsewhere whether Dec 12 is a Friday or now. A calender (grid of buttons in a calender arrangement) would be much better.
hakercin says:
joegormally says:
This would be a good change, or at least have the option to have either view. The calendar view is easier to work with in my opinion.
stelefebvre says:
Double post on this
cincytaus says:
A calendar view would be great!
lauras523 says:
Gawd *please* do this! It's such a little thing, but such a pain given that it's an integral function. Also make the edit task pain bigger please! It's hard to see and hard to click on.
stevep771 says:
There is a work-around. When you're at the date picker wheel, turn the 'Any time" switch to OFF. This at least shows the day of week on the wheel. Then turn it back on before you exit and your task is saved with a due date, but no due time.
stevep771 says:
But a calendar view option would be much, much, much, much better.

DALLAS, Ga. -- Paulding County Magistrate Judge Martin Valbuena refused to throw out child cruelty and false imprisonment charges against Paul and Sheila Comer on Thursday, sending the case on to a grand jury for possible indictments.
Judge Valbuena said parents have a right to send children to their room or to bed early without dinner to discipline them.
RELATED | Paulding Co. teen says parents locked him up for years
PHOTOS | Mug Shots: Gotta see 'em to believe 'em
But after hearing testimony about Mitch Comer's alleged long term confinement he said, "holding a kid in a room or bathroom like that steps over the line."
The judge also denied a defense request to let the parents go free on $10,000 bond each with the conditions that they wear GPS ankle monitoring devices and not have any contact with the son who claims they abused him.
The judge cited an investigator's testimony that the Comers had lived in 15 places in 5 states since the late 1990's and the implication that they may have left Cherokee County after a 2009 inconclusive child abuse investigation there.
Valbuena indicated he might reconsider granting bond in a few weeks, depending on further investigation of why the family moved so many times.
But he said the bond would be more like $50,000 each instead of the $10,000 the defense had requested.
According to a Paulding County Sheriff detective, 18-year-old Mitch Comer looked more like a 12-year-old when he brought him back from Los Angeles last month.
Sgt. Kevin Morgan said the boy appeared very malnourished, at only just over 5 feet tall and 87 pounds and still had some of his baby teeth.
Mitch's father had put him on a bus to LA with about $400, allegedly telling him they never wanted to see him again.
The boy told police he went willingly to pursue an acting career.
Sgt. Morgan was the first witness in a probable cause hearing for the boy's parents, 48-year-old Paul and 39-year-old Sheila Comer.
They face charges of child cruelty and false imprisonment for allegedly keeping their son locked up in his room for up to 4 years.
Under cross examination by defense attorneys, Sgt. Morgan admitted they had little to go on other than the boy's claims and his physical condition.
He said in a video interview the father did admit punishing Mitch by keeping him in his room, but not nearly as long as the boy claimed.
Paul Comer said Mitch was punished for things like getting suspended from school for sexual harassment.
But Comer insisted the boy was given the same food the family ate at least 3 times a day.
Sgt. Morgan said Mitch has gained 10 pounds and had his baby teeth removed since being placed with another family.
Detective Kyle Shelton testified that Mitch's 11 and 13-year-old sisters told investigators they could sometimes hear their brother cry out for food when confined and that they had not seem him for about 2 years.
The girls are now in DFCS custody.
Det. Shelton claimed Paul Comer "admitted everything" in the police interview, calling the treatment of his son "punishment".
Defense attorneys say the son's claims of abuse are exaggerated and that he often stayed in his room voluntarily, living as a recluse.

Anyone know what the latest is on sales in California? I last heard March once all the testing is passed. Will the few (3) initial dealers have parts & knowledge right at the start and will there be a lag on delivery with a waiting list? Would it be risky to be an early adopter?
Thanks Leonard. The dealer web page for California is 4 more than I was last told and interestingly only one actually mentions RE on its website (Doug Douglas, San Bernardino). That sort of tells me they are not arriving soon. I have seen them at South Bay Triumph (not for sale), but they were way optimistic last December thinking they would be ready to go by now.I am just hoping when they are ready for sale I won't be looking at a six month waiting list due to manufacturing back logs and high demand (which of course is a good thing for RE). I feel like I have been waiting 25 years for this particular motorcycle to arrive. I can't count the times I came close to an old Brit bike only to chicken out and move toward a not quite what I wanted new BMW or Yamaha and then give up.I am for sure going to pull the trigger on the new Royal Enfield - black G5 I think with a solo seat. For now I am waiting it out in blog land.
Black G5, light tan solo seat, matching saddlebags, shorty muffler. How about a 20 tooth countershaft sprocket.
Hello California Enfield fans. I'm Art...I'm one of the owners of Doug Douglas Motorcycles. We are really looking forward to being one of the new California dealers. I just wanted to invite you to join a Facebook page for Royal Enfield. The address is:http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=250350953564&ref=tsIt is run by us as well as our main Facebook page at:http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Doug-Douglas-Motorcycles/114563445571?ref=tsWe felt is was appropriate to create a page specific to the California market since it's soon to be approved. As we get information on the approval in California and other relevent information we will post it there.Thanks for your time. We are looking forward to meeting some of you and helping out as you need firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you for that suggestion. While I don't want to appear to prospective customers as a hawk after a mouse it is important to get the word out and that might be a great way to do it. I will definitely look into that!Art
We've been taking some bikes to all the local swap meets and bike shows. Cheap exposure, your not going sell any bikes there but you can plant some seeds for some later sales.No need to feel like a "hawk after a mouse". In this depressed economy you have to do anything you can do to get the word out. The ones that get the word out will still be in business in a few years. The ones that don't won't be.CJ
Any news on CARB certification. The dealer (future) in San Francisco sounded assured of March-April. Is that still the case.

1* free play on SJS@PIT to go UNDER...
The San Jose Sharks and the Pittsburgh Penguins will meet in the Stanley Cup Finals, and Game 1 goes Monday. These are the two highest scoring teams in the playoffs, and because of that we see a higher than usual total (5.5). I expect both teams to have a more cautious and conservative approach in the series opener. Here are my keys to the game: 1. Previous History - Pittsburgh won the last meeting by a score of 5-1, but the total went under in each of the previous three meetings. Goals have been few and far between when these teams play in Pittsburgh, going under at a rate of 5-1-1 in the last seven. 2. Martin Jones - The Sharks netminder stopped 24-of-26 shots in a big win in Game 7 of the Western Conference Final, and he's 12-6 with a 2.12 GAA in the post-season. Jones has registered three shutouts in his last seven starts. 3. X-Factor - The under is 8-3-2 in Penguins last 13 Stanley Cup Finals games.Selection - This is a play on the Sharks@Pens to go UNDER the total (Free)

Equation-Based Modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics
Application ID: 14863
Partial differential equations (PDEs) constitute the mathematical foundation for describing the laws of nature. This presentation provides an introduction to customizing your simulations by developing models directly with PDEs. Learn how to add ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and algebraic equations to your model. Equation-based modeling is a powerful method eliminating the need for user-written subroutines. Once a system of equations has been defined, you can combine them with any other physics-based user interface in the COMSOL environment. Typical applications for equation-based modeling are: custom materials definitions, phase change, and time-dependent loads and sources.

Hi all,
Some of my users are telling me that since the upgrade to 7.2 (we jumped from 7.1.2) their Compose window is taking up much more room. They can easily resize it, but the change in size holds only for that specific message. Composing a new message will result in the large compose window again.
Is there a way (on a per-user or server-wide basis) to change the default compose window size?
Thanks in advance

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
Sarasota, FL-- Sex, drugs, and alcohol- an intoxicating combination that may have gotten the better of a police informant.
According to published reports and court records, the informant allegedly had sex with female strippers and others while using them to set up drug deals to buy Oxycotin from a Sarasota narcotics officer.
"We asked this individual if he had sexual relations or romantic relationship with any of these people, and he said no," said Lt. Pat Ludwith, head of criminal investigations for Sarasota Police.
Because the narcotics officer is undercover, we can't identify him, but he spoke with 10 News about the case, saying he had no idea the informant crossed ethical lines.
But defense attorneys for one of the people arrested tell a different story- saying the sex boils down to entrapment.
They filed a motion to dismiss a hearing in the case today.
"Due to a substantial amount of newly-discovered and exceptionally relevant and probative evidence having come to light to defendant in recent days, Defendant must withdraw his current motion now on file and submit an amended motion which incorporates said evidence for the court's consideration," said the motion.
There are also allegations that the informant spent money on lap dances, liquor, and fancy dinners in the process of doing his work. Sarasota Police say that is impossible.
"This individual was not paid until several months after these arrests were made, so there is no way he could have used tax payer dollars to wine and dine or take people on trips," said Lt. Ledwith.

I recently returned from a work-related trip in the states of New York and New Jersey. Being the sheltered Orange County, CA kid I am, I had never been to New York before and was excited to plan this trip. Lucky for me, my job allowed me to embark on this quest to find and seek out conservative activists at New York and New Jersey campuses.
Over the course of four days, I saw many things and met many interesting folks.
En route to JFK, I sat next to a Czech man also from Alexandria, VA. He was making a connecting flight at JFK to get to Prague, Czech Republic. The elderly gentleman, Pete, noticed my Bastiat book and then proceeded to talk about how great his work was. Pete said how much he valued his [Bastiat's] contributions to society and also valued those of other notable economists from the Austrian School. Pete recounted how he and his wife (who hails from Germany) came to this country in 1976. Pete quipped, "I born under Hitler and raised under Stalin." At that moment, I knew then and there that I had an ally in him. He reminded me of my paternal and maternal grandfathers in many ways. Like him, both of my grandfathers – especially my late Grandpa Misha – wore baseball caps, large vests, and traveled lightly. He also boasted this kind demeanor commonly found in immigrants from the former USSR, particularly the ones who saw what a nightmare Communism was in the Old Country. You know when you meet a stranger for the first time and instantly hit it off with them? This is exactly the feeling I got when I talked with Pete. Like my parents, he understands the dangers of universal healthcare, the failure of forced "equality", class warfare rhetoric, and other radical positions this sitting president touts on a daily basis. It is always heartwarming to meet people who come from a similar background. Although I was fortunate to be born in the United States, I recognize Pete's and my parent's concerns about this administration embracing socialism and Marxism. I befriended Pete and plan to keep in touch with him.
Gabby Conquers NYC? Sort Of…
Once I hitched a cab to my hotel, I laid eyes on the terrible traffic that is commonplace there. What made it worse was the fact that the Messiah himself, President Obama, was in town for yet another fundraiser with his celebrity surrogates. How lovely. Those of us who hail from Southern California are familiar with traffic, and my adopted home – Washington, D.C. – was recently named the city with the worst drivers in America. New York traffic couldn't be that unbearable, I thought. Alas, I was greatly mistaken.
Aside from the traffic, I enjoyed navigating the subway system. It boasts many similarities to the WMATA, our beloved metro system here in the D.C. metro area , but had far more stops and is more subterranean than it. I had to get from Queens, NY to Manhattan to meet with students at the King's College, so the subway helped out.
Kings College is set in the heart of Wall Street and the Financial District in NYC. The skyscrapers surrounding it tower high above the streets, and are worth marveling. (Yes, I did see Occupy activists in and around Wall Street.)
And the New York Stock Exchange:
Of course, no trip to New York City is complete without a stop to Times Square. Despite the rain that night, I enjoyed being immersed in the popular hotspot. Our gracious tour guides – some new friends from King's College – gave me and Brandon, one of my field reps, a great but quick tour of the area. I was the only one in the group playing tourist, but that wasn't an issue. Who wouldn't want to enjoy the greatness that is NYC?
Following my visit to King's College, I went to NYU and Princeton University.
Here's a shot of Princeton, a campus I found to be beautiful with its High Victorian Gothic style. (If you were wondering, YES – conservatives exist at Princeton and most Ivy League schools. Sad thing is, many are closeted and afraid to publicly express their views.)
After spending several days in NYC, I went to upstate NY to meet with more students. I came across this thing before leaving the city. Apparently, unions display these rather disgusting, ugly-looking inflatable rats as a form of protest when they don't get their way…
FACT: Upstate New York is gorgeous.
I've lived in suburbia my entire life, whether it be in Laguna Niguel, Coto de Caza, or La Jolla in California but have grown to accept and enjoy living close to a major city. Nevertheless, I've always been one for the outdoors since I enjoy fishing, camping, and hiking in my free time. That being said, upstate New York was anything but boring and uninteresting. The foliage, rivers, lush green pastures, and countless farms are great fixtures in the region. It reminded me of Lithuania, my ancestral homeland, with its crisp fresh air and nature. Here is a breathtaking sunset near Ithaca, NY.
One odd thing that I noticed was cemeteries located near every land-grant (public) university. Whether Syracuse, Ithaca, Cortland, or Buffalo, cemeteries are a commonplace in upstate New York. Beats me, but here's more information about them.
One place we stumbled upon was this diner near Geneseo, NY:
It was NASCAR-themed and had a country flair to it. The food was also delicious. Here's another view from the inside.
My other field rep, Simeon – who also graduated from UCSD this June – and I visited and met with students from Syracuse U, Cornell U, SUNY Geneseo, and SUNY Buffalo. I absolutely loved Cornell's surroundings with its gorges, forests, wild deer, the Finger Lakes, and old architecture. SUNY Buffalo was our largest meeting with over 30 students in attendance. Each university was unique, and the students were equally passionate and dedicated to the cause. I can say that there is true, genuine hope in New York. Young conservative activists just need to be identified and equipped with the right tools to counter liberal bias on campus.
As I was heading back to D.C., I realized I was riding the same plane with Al Sharpton (think race-baiter, serial hypocrite) and Doug Schoen, Democrat and Fox News contributor. Talk about an interesting experience…
My takeaway from the trip? New York lives up to its reputation as an impressionable and exciting place. Los Angeles and San Diego pale in comparison to NYC with respect to size. Upstate New York reminded me of several places in Southern California, with its small towns, forests, and mountains – minus being a desert. While New York is a blue state, I learned to appreciate it and value the experience by not allowing politics to entirely get in the way of my trip. I'll be going again in October to help students counter U.N. Day.
Next stop: Boston and Southern New England!
Update: I will resume blogging in the next couple of weeks. I've got some wonderful writing opportunities that I will .

Dear all,
We have mail server with zimbra open source edition 7.1.1 with ubuntu 10.04 64bit server. It is up and running. We found that our IPs are blacklisted some times due to spam mail sent from our server and we decided to implement an external MTA relay. Our relay provider is mailcore.co.in they provided us the user ID: firstname.lastname@example.com with password: Admin!@#
These are the steps we followed to point the MTA relay,
zmprov ms mail.myrapidrkv.com zimbraMtaRelayHost smtp3.mailcore.co.in
zmprov mcf zimbraMtaRelayHost smtp3.mailcore.co.in
echo smtp3.netcore.co.in email@example.com:Admin!@# > /opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password

After doing this we are trying to send and receive mails. when we send the mail it shows that mail was sent and it was in the sent mail folder, but after some minutes we receive the bounce message that due to SASL authentication error the mail was not send. similarly we are not able to receive the mails.
Please point out any mistake i have made or give me a solution to achieve my requirement.

Turns out there's no fix for Eagle Lake — for now
Two years ago, the Bureau of Land Management held hearings about the possibility of closing a source of water drain from Eagle Lake, a large section of pipe called the Bly Tunnel.
Eagle Lake is completely dependent upon snowmelt for water. There's drainage through Bly Tunnel 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The reality is more water exits the lake than what enters through spring snowmelt.
The bottom line is the lake level is continuously dropping, more and more each year.
The final determination in the BLM hearings was that downstream water users — ranchers — were more important than the net effects to the environment and fishery.
That decision wasn't acceptable to anglers and those who live around this popular Lassen County lake.
A group was formed called The Guardians of Eagle Lake. The group knew it wasn't going to put a dent in the thinking of the BLM, so it enlisted the support of the California Department of Water Resources. Additionally, after studying the issues, the California Department of Fish and Game weighed in with the result being the continually lowering water level is and would continue to adversely affect the lake's infamous fishery.
The DWR held hearings and determined the Bly Tunnel pipe needed to be permanently shut down. The recommendation was to be made to the Lassen County Board of Supervisors to direct the BLM to permanently shut down water flow out of Eagle Lake.
And then, the unexpected happened. The person responsible with the DWR retired. The letter he forwarded to supporters at Eagle Lake reported his replacement-counterpart was swamped with other issues and it would be doubtful any action by the DWR would be taken anytime soon.
George Walker, co-owner of the Eagle Lake General Store in Spaulding Tract, is a main force and proponent for the Bly Tunnel to be closed. She tells me that even though a letter was supposed to be sent to the Lassen County Board of Supervisors, one of the main persons on this board also happens to be a rancher that utilizes the water that comes from Eagle Lake.
Can you say, "Conflict of interest?" Care to guess how he would lobby the Board of Supervisors to act and vote on this issue?
All proponents agree it appears the only hope they have of being successful now is through court action.
For now, though, water continues to flow out of Eagle Lake.
Current fishing
Bodega Bay: With storms coming in, however well spaced for now, the open water of the Pacific can get bouncy. If you have any concerns about how you might ride these waters, call ahead and watch the forecasts closely. For the most part, if the water is too bouncy, the only real effect is not being able to adequately bounce bottom for the favored ling cod because by the time you feel bottom, it's generally too late and you lose your gear. The bottomfish catching is utterly outstanding with limits the rule and, as an added bonus, you can definitely expect a limit of six market-sized crabs.
San Pablo Bay: Great tides are happening this week. We haven't had enough storms to raise river levels with enough fresh water to flush the bay waters of their salinity. If the tides are slow, there's been a real problem with crabs wanting to walk away with your expensive baits, a problem somewhat solved with a good moving tide. However, you can still be troubled with unwanted critters such as starry flounder, kingfish and small bat rays. Get through those and the sturgeon bite has actually been decent. Hit the Pumphouse Flats. I've always done well between Rat Rock and MacNear Pier off China Camp in about 12 feet of water.
San Francisco fleet: The best news is that the commercial fishing fleet has so far rejected the price offer for crab so it's staying tied up in the ports. That bodes well for the sport fisher. Without commercial pots soaking in the same region, that means more and better-quality crab for those on party boats. My favorite skipper, James Smith of the California Dawn, has limited on big crab and quality rock cod.
Suisun Bay: Soak bullheads and the striper fishing is outstanding. Soak any favored sturgeon baits along with French fry-size strips of eel, and the sturgeon fishery has been good. Some of the top striper fishing has been going on around McAvoy's Boat Harbor and the Firing Line. Along with bullheads, pile and blood worms are taking their share. Some of the best sturgeon catching has been happening in shallow water.
Lake Oroville: The lake remains considerably higher than what it's been in past years this time of year — more than 80 percent. Coho, or silver salmon, generally are on a decent bite, but fishing for these small landlocked salmon has been tough. The few being caught are only hitting to 15 inches, and those dipping nets are around the dam and green bridge. Drifting a live minnow as deep as 60 feet should get you bit.
Bass, however, are just about everywhere, and the spotted bass fishery is the strongest. You can find them from the surface to 60 feet down. Surface gear such as a Zara Spook will get you bit. Go deeper and drop shot with dart-headed plastics or Robo Worms.
New Melones: This lake is well known for excellent winter trout fishing. Stringers of one-pounders are taken daily, and many lunkers in the five-pound class are nailed by boaters and shore anglers. The best fishing starts when the lake turns over, and if it hasn't already, it should in the next few days.
Trout fishing is good and getting better. To enhance the fishery, the lake is being planted weekly by the Department of Fish and Game. There also are holdovers up to three pounds being netted. Those casting from shore have been hammering fish in shallow water in the backs of Angels and Glory Hole coves. Cast-retrieve spoons or soak Power Bait or Pautske's Red Label salmon eggs off a sliding sinker. Trollers have been doing the best fishing over the main river channel from upriver under the bridges into the main body of the lake, especially around the spillway and dam region. Trout are being found as much as 20 feet down, and they're attacking a shad-imitating lure, so swap lures until you get steadily bit.

Japan Radiation Disaster,
Our heart goes out to our Japanese friends and all of the people in Japan. What we are seeing on Television and the Internet couldn't begin to convey your disaster. We can only hope, pray and give generously to help you in your grave times of need. If there is anything possible that we can do beyond this, we will without hesitation.
Please! Everyone who see's this post – Pick up your cell phone and Text in a minimum initial $10.00 by texting Red Cross to 90999, it is as simple as that and if you can afford that phone you can afford $10.00 to people that are in dire straits.
Beyond this, let's all work harder to make as much extra money we can to donate to these people who may be the first in the world to experience mass fallout from the nuclear power plants that have been devastated. Please go to http://www.redcross.org/portal/site/en/menuitem.d8aaecf214c576bf971e4cfe43181aa0/?vgnextoid=46f51a53f1c37110VgnVCM1000003481a10aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default to find the other ways you can donated as much as you can. Please!
My personal note, If those nuclear reactors blow (four of them) how can they escape the radiation? Radiation particles will completely fill the air and there will be no way to escape from that! Tell me, what kind of filter would clean all of the oxygen coming into a house – there is not one!
This is a real disaster and we need to get started helping right now!

Big props go out to Jelena Jankovic who will own the keys to the WTA Penthouse this year, the WTA announced. The slidin' Serb won three matches in a row this fall before her second round defeat in Zurich which helped her hold off Dinara Safina and Serena Williams for the top spot.
JJ has won four titles this year (Rome, Beijing, Stuttgart, Moscow), more matches than any other player on Tour this year - 63 wins against 17 losses so far - and has reached the quarterfinals or better at 19 of her first 21 events, her only early round losses coming at Wimbledon (fourth round) and Zurich (second round).
Well, that takes away some of the drama from what the year-end championships should be about. And if she thought there was pressure on her before to win a major, she ain't seen nothing yet.
Clearly JJ has begun believing she belongs at the top, but now this belief needs to translate into confidence during the tight moments at a Grand Slam. It remains to be seen whether the US Open finalist can pull it out.
But in any case, congrats JJ!!!

JJ keeps keys to WTA Penthouse, will end year as top-ranked lady baller
Labels: Jelena Jankovic, tennis
4 comments:
I believe JJ will manage to make that one more step forward. She has already achieved more than most people believed.ReplyDelete
When she reached the No.1 spot, and lost it right away the next week, people though she didn't belong there. But now, even those who doubted then believe that JJ deserves more respect because of the three straight titles she won. Plus, who would have thought the injury-prone JJ would so soon return to No.1 and actually stay there until the end of the season.
She has what it takes to win a slam.
I think she's a very good player. I really don't know why she's not winning slams.ReplyDelete
OTOH - What is she wearing on that picture???
It looks like fur around her neck. Hmmm, maybe she was inspired by Sharapova's pictures for Vogue. :PReplyDelete
you never know with JJ. it could be fur or some scraps thrown together from some of her other outfits.ReplyDelete

HANOVER, Md. (WUSA) -- Anne Arundel County police are looking for a man who tried to rob another man in a Big Lots parking lot and told him, "This is a one time offer."
Officers responded Tuesday at approx. 7:51 p.m. to the parking lot of Big Lots in the 2600 block of Annapolis Rd. in Hanover. The victim told them that a man with a silver semi-automatic handgun approached him as he was putting his purchases in the trunk of his car. The man came from a wooded area near the parking lot. The man made the statement, but as soon as the victim saw the gun he fled from the scene. The suspect also fled.
Police are still looking for the suspect, who is described as a black male, 5'8" tall, wearing a black jacket with a gray hooded jacket underneath and black pants.

Cyclones Set Nine Records In 2013
AMES, Iowa – 2013 was a banner year for Iowa State softball (21-34, 4-14 Big 12). The offense set nine team records, including records for highest batting average and the most runs driven in during a season, and the stellar defense posted a record-high fielding percentage while turning the fourth-most double plays in the nation.
Two of the Cyclones' record 284 runs during the spring came in a 2-1 upset win over No. 8 Oregon in Iowa State's first win over a top-10 team since 2009. The Cyclones christened the new Cyclone Sports Complex with a sweep of Oklahoma State, April 5-7, in the first conference sweep for Iowa State since the Big 12 moved to the three-game series format in 2012.
Junior Sarah Hawryluk became the first Cyclone since 2007 to win the Big 12 Player of the Week Award on April 8 after hitting .600 with four stolen bases and four runs scored in the sweep of the Cowgirls.
Seniors Erica Miller and Tori Torrescano powered the Iowa State offense to 253 RBI in 2013, another school record, and Miller set a single-season record with 52 runs batted. Torrescano was close behind with 43 RBI and tied her own program record with 14 home runs, the last coming on the final day of the season. Patient at the plate, the seniors each walked 29 times during the year, another Iowa State-best.
Newcomers Brittany Gomez and Hawryluk made their presence known on the basepaths, stealing 31 and 26 bases, respectively. Gomez's 31 thefts is a single-season record and the two are the only Cyclones to ever eclipse 25 steals in a season. Sophomore transfer Maddie Reese also got in on the basepath action, stealing 11 bases in as many attempts.
Gomez's solid freshman campaign was not limited to her speed, although it did account for opponents' frustration as the New Braunfels, Texas native routinely raced to catch balls that would be unreachable for anyone a step slower. Gomez led Iowa State with a .361 average, the highest ever by a Cyclone freshman, and scored a record 50 runs, just one of four Big 12 players to cross home 50 times in 2013. Gomez's 66 hits for the season were another Iowa State-best and her 21 hits in conference play led the squad.
The Iowa State defense was stalwart on the year, especially in Big 12 play, turning 29 double plays overall and 12 against league opponents. The Cyclones hit into 14 double plays during the season, not one of them coming against a Big 12 team. Lexi Slater and Sara Davison were each a part of 12 double plays while playing short stop and second base, respectively. Slater played the entire season at short, and Davison split time between second and catcher where she caught seven would-be base stealers.
In addition to her pitchers' duel win over the eighth-ranked Ducks, Torrescano threw a no-hitter against Elon during the Cyclones' 10-game Florida road trip. Torrescano's no-no was the second for the Cyclones as freshman Riley Fisher no-hit North Dakota on Feb. 10 at the Cyclone Invitational in Ames.
Postseason awards rolled in for several Cyclones after their successful seasons. Miller was named to the All-Big 12 First Team for the second consecutive year, her third conference honor, and Gomez earned her first postseason nod, elected to the all-conference second team. The duo was also honored by College Sports Madness, named to the website's All-Big 12 Second Team. Miller capped her on-field career with a second selection to the National Fastpitch Coaches' Association All-Midwest Region Second Team.
For her quick reflexes and power arm that helped turn six double plays during the conference season, Slater was named the league's top defensive short stop by the Big 12 coaches on the league's inaugural All-Big 12 Defensive Team.
Academically strong, five Cyclones were named Academic All-Big 12, with Miller, Davison, Jorden Spendlove and Taylor Smith garnering first team accolades and Torrescano earning a spot on the second team.

Dear FansMy thoughts? Great move. The signs are glaring that a new perspective is needed in his game, and who better than someone with the vast experience of Paul Annacone? If you don't know, now you know.
I've been looking to add someone to my team and I've decided to spend some days with Paul Annacone. As Paul winds down his responsibilities working for the Lawn Tennis Association, we will explore our relationship through this test period. Paul will work alongside my existing team and I am excited to learn from his experiences.
See you soon
But I hope he enjoys the sweltering heat of Dubai and has time to travel half way around the world. Darren Cahill couldn't do it and we all know what happened to him. Like, see ya.
What are your thoughts on this move by Fed? Do tell!

Chamber/rec director position to be dissolved
Due to the amount of hours and commitments of the job, the city of Humboldt is deciding to dissolve the joint position of Chamber of Commerce director and city recreation director.
That decision was among the many items acted upon at Monday night's Humboldt City Council meeting.
Two years ago, it was decided to combine the positions into two part-time positions, with the Chamber paying for half of the salary.
Susan Rutz was hired at the time to fill the position.
"She has done a great job over the past two years and is very hands-on and has added stability to the Chamber, but the job as it is structured is such that there are so many demands on her time, it was going from a 40-hour a week position to well over that," City Administrator Aaron Burnett said.
"After discussions with the Chamber of Commerce Board and the Park Board, it was agreed that a separation of the duties was the best.
The city will advertise for a part-time administrative assistant position for the Chamber. Rutz will stay on as city recreation director and the city will take on the full responsibility for her salary.

May 31, 2016
Legislation to expand charter schools in Mississippi is once again moving forward.
A state Senate committee approved Senate Bill 2189 on a split vote Tuesday.
The action came after Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves met privately with committee members Monday evening. The bill wasn't released until Tuesday morning.
The bill would give districts rated "A" or "B" a veto over whether charters can locate there, while "C" and lower-rated districts wouldn't get a veto.
Charter schools are public schools that agree to meet certain standards in exchange for freedom from regulations.
Proponents say they can improve achievement in Mississippi.
Opponents fear they will skim motivated students and money from traditional schools.
The Senate passed similar bills last year by votes of 34-17 and 31-19. Charter measures failed in the House of Representatives.

3 Reasons Green Mountain Will Bounce Back
Words can move the market, especially when the person mouthing those words is legendary hedge fund manager David Einhorn. Shares of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters tumbled 10% after Einhorn revealed that he was betting against the company. Let's go over three reasons he may have sipped more than he can slurp here.

The saw mill and woodworking machinery industry comprises establishments engaged in manufacturing sawmilling and woodworking machinery (except handheld), such as circular and band sawing equipment, planning machinery and sanding machinery. In addition, producers of certain woodworking cutting tools and manufacturers of hand and power tools used by woodworkers and woodworking firms are considered part of this industry. Also included as part of this industry sector are manufacturers of machinery involved in fire suppression and dust and fume extraction, processes intimately tied to the operation of woodworking machinery in the industrial environment. For purposes of this industry assessment, the above will be referred to as the woodworking machinery industry. The woodworking machinery industry is classified under NAICS code 333210.
Overview and Global Competitiveness
The woodworking machinery industry serves primarily three customer groupings: (1) custom woodworking shops; (2) woodworking hobbyists; and (3) saw mills. Many firms serve niche segments of these markets. Others produce parts and attachments, machine guarding, safety, and dust and fume extraction and fire suppression equipment.
Industry shipments of woodworking machinery totaled $1,101,754,000 in 2006, down from $1,149,305 in 2005. Almost certainly, shipments have continued to decline over the past two years.
Employment in this industry has held fairly steady for some years, although a downturn, primarily due to related saw mill closings, seems likely in 2008-2009. In 2006, total employment in the industry was 5,874, virtually unchanged from the 5,846 reported in 2005. Of this total, 3,533 were production workers, up by 2 percent from the 3.476 total reported in 2005.
Suppliers of woodworking machinery can be found in nearly all parts of the country. However, the industry has a heavy concentration in several states in the Midwest. Michigan, with its production in Grand Rapids and other parts of western Michigan, has long been the leading woodworking machinery manufacturing state. Other Midwestern states, including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, have established plants. The Upper South, primarily North Carolina and Tennessee, have facilities, and there is a long West Coast presence of the industry in the states of Washington, Oregon and California. The industry has tended to concentrate in areas that have historically manufactured furniture (Michigan, North Carolina) or have significant numbers of saw mills (the Pacific Northwest).
Ultimately, the competitive drivers of this industry are the financial health of its customers, domestic and foreign, the productivity of its workforce, and the industrys ability to maintain strength in specialized markets. Even when it is not able to maintain price advantage, the industry can often compete on quality and service.
The immediate future does not bode especially well for the woodworking machinery industry. The industry supplies its products to manufacturers serving markets, such as residential construction and remodeling, furniture and cabinet making, and other wood product manufacturing. These markets have been especially sensitive to the effects of the credit crunch, mortgage foreclosures, and the reduced demand for residential construction domestically and in key foreign markets, such as Canada.
The recovery of the woodworking machinery industry likely will lag behind the recovery of its principal customers, since manufacturers defer purchases of new machinery until order books are once again filled. Some elements of the stimulus package may, as elsewhere noted, aid woodworking machinery manufacturers in gaining orders, especially from many of the small businesses that form the bulk of the customer base.
Domestic Environment
For much of the woodworking machinery industry, the recession arrived sooner than expected and was evident in trade show activity as early as mid-2007. Customer attendance at the major domestic trade shows fell at both of the iterations of the industrys major events in 2007 and 2008. Hobbyist attendees, who customarily attend without support from employers, were most conspicuous by their absence. Their attendance customarily undergirds buyer attendance from woodworking firms.
With the advent of the credit crunch in September 2008, the industry began to gird itself to sustain the full headwinds of recession. In 2009, the industry will likely see further layoffs, plant closures, and shifting of work to foreign locations. Ironically, as noted below, major foreign suppliers have also retrenched, bringing a decrease in imports and likely fewer foreign buyers and foreign exhibitors at trade shows. An early example of this retrenchment may be found in the decision of Biesse America, a large Italian manufacturer, to skip the 2009 American Woodworking and Furniture Supply Fair (AWFS).
The domestic outlook for the woodworking machinery industry in 2009 is clearly marked with pessimism as the steep fall in new residential and commercial construction has reduced demand for building products, kitchen cabinets, home furnishings, and related products critical to the output of woodworking shops and saw mills. The closure of saw mills and woodshops has also thrown more used woodworking machinery on the market, depressing demand for new products.
On the positive side, passage of the economic stimulus legislation and the unveiling of the Presidents housing package provide indications than an upturn may be foreseeable. Provisions in the stimulus package to allow single year expensing of capital expenditures (as opposed to annual capital loss deductions) by small businesses may include many woodworking shops. This incentive may encourage purchase of new woodworking machinery at a time when demand has slumped.
The used woodworking machinery trade remains healthy, although a potential glut of used machinery may develop as saw mills close and woodworking plants shut down or disable machines. The rising availability of used machinery has been indicated in a rise in advertising space in publications devoted to the used woodworking machinery trade and an increased number of auctions of machinery from closed facilities.
One of the major indicators of woodworking activity, the Census Bureaus CD-50, Residential Improvements and Repairs series, has been discontinued. To supplant it, industry sources are now using the Leading Indicators of Remodeling Activity, a series provided by the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. This indicator shows a flattening in the rate of residential repairs which offers little optimism for improvement in 2009. Residential remodeling remains one the largest sources of woodworking demand.
The Role of the Hobbyist
Neither the U.S. Census Bureau nor the private sector has provided a precise definition of a woodworking hobbyist, although hobbyists are generally considered to be woodworkers who are employed outside woodworking shops or saw mills. Most hobbyists operate machinery in homes or garages. These conditions frequently place limits on the size and sophistication of machinery used by hobbyists. However amorphously defined, woodworking hobbyists form a market segment that is essential to the success of the woodworking machinery industry. Although figures are not directly available, surveys of the industry indicate that time devoted to woodworking hobbyist activity may be rising as need develops to maximize income sources and some professional woodworkers are laid off from primary jobs.
Closely associated with the woodworking machinery industry are manufacturers of woodworking machine tools. This segment of the industry is primarily composed of small, often family-owned manufacturers dedicated to serving nearby manufacturers. These firms seldom export and are not well suited to face competition in a globalizing industry. Import penetration in this industry segment is rising, although not as steeply as with primary woodworking equipment. Tool making requires extensive cooperation with the customer, since the tooling is often customized, and woodworkers often produce a customized product with the applicable tooling. Indeed, such circumstances also often apply in the sale of primary machinery to the customer base of small woodworking shops.
The Domestic Regulatory Environment
Federal regulation of the industry is primarily felt through regulations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA regulations establish standards and tolerance levels for sawdust, filings, and fumes in the workplace and have created a lively market in dust and fume extraction equipment. OSHA regulations have also established standards for machine guarding and personal safety.
Personal safety in an industry using saws and saw blades and other blunt cutting instruments is of paramount importance, equal to the critical factor of fire safety. The industry requires extensive fire suppression given the rapidity with which fires can spread in a saw mill or woodshop and threaten lives and destroy the value of the investment in machinery and property.
State and local regulations also impinge on this industry. Workplace safety regulations are often enforced at the state level by state occupational health and safety agencies and by local fire departments.
No states regulatory regime has a broader effect on the industry than Californias. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has imposed regulations on formaldehyde exposure from composite wood products containing urea-formaldehyde resins which affect machinery operators in woodshops and saw mills. The continued regulation in this area will require additional equipment to trap residues and wood dust and will offer opportunities to suppliers of such equipment from within the industry. Further, localized air quality requirements are imposed by local air quality management districts, such as the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and the Bay Area Quality Management District.
Additionally, small shops and hobbyists frequently have to contend with local zoning laws that may limit their ability to operate in residential areas, regulate hours of operation, and require permits to allow expansion of facilities.
Trading Environment
The woodworking machinery industry has long sustained a negative balance of trade. Ironically, that imbalance eased somewhat in 2008, as weakened demand slowed imports from all five of the largest import sources, China, Taiwan, Germany, Italy, and Canada. Overall, U.S. woodworking machinery imports fell by one quarter in 2008, from $1.137 billion in 2007 to $856 million in 2008. Conversely, exports showed a modest rise of 5 percent from $251 million in 2007 to $263 million in 2008.
Despite the growing impact of the economic slowdown, U.S. woodworking machinery exports to the major export markets remained relatively steady throughout 2008, with Canada continuing in its long-standing position as the U.S. leading export destination. For 2008, the leading U.S. export destinations were Canada ($61 million), China ($26 million), Australia ($18 million), Mexico ($18 million), Poland ($12 million), the United Kingdom ($11 million), Germany ($9 million), Turkey ($7 million), Russia ($7 million), Japan ($6 million) and Brazil ($6 million).
Among the leading U.S. export markets, China, up from $15 million in 2007, and Brazil, up from $2 million in 2007, showed the largest increases. Conversely, Japan, down from $15 million in 2007, showed the largest decrease. Exports to Canada have remained steady, with unspectacular growth since 2004, ranging from $61 to $65 million each year. In 2008, the U.S.-Canadian balance of trade in woodworking machinery was nearly even at $61,475,000 in exports and $61,170,000 in imports.
U. S. woodworking machinery exports to India, target of the Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP) award to the Wood Machinery Manufacturers of America (WMMA), reached a high of $1.614 million in 2006. Since then, exports of U.S. woodworking machinery to India fell to $857,000 in 2007, before staging a modest 9.8 percent rebound to $941,000 in 2008.
Although still limited, U.S. imports of woodworking machinery from India rose from $89,000 in 2007 to $227,000 in 2008, ironically indicating some maturation of the traditionally modest Indian output of woodworking machinery.
The Historical Imbalance of Trade
As noted in previous reporting, this industry sustains a substantial negative balance of trade. However, reduced domestic demand primarily resulting from the decline in new residential and commercial building construction and a drop in residential rehabilitation, substantially reduced import demand for woodworking and saw mill machinery. Nine of the top ten import sources showed reduced shipments to the United States. The exception, Japan rose by 18 percent off a floor of $14.5 million to $17 million, still well below the $25.7 million high in 2005.
The leading U.S. import sources for woodworking machinery in 2008 were China ($252 million), Taiwan ($211 million), Germany ($134 million), Italy ($85 million), Canada ($61 million), Mexico ($37 million), Austria ($23 million), Japan ($17 million), and Sweden ($7 million). Even Spain, which has been seeking to establish a beachhead in the U.S. market as Italy did in the 1990s, saw its woodworking machinery exports to the United States fall from $7.2 million in 2007 to $3.1 million in 2008. Most of the increases registered from foreign import sources in 2008 were from smaller markets, such as Denmark, Poland, and Slovenia. These increases resulted, in part, from the relocation of both U.S. and foreign-owned manufacturing plants to markets with lower labor costs.
U. S. woodworking machinery manufacturers usually compete on quality, service, and parts availability rather than on price advantage with foreign, especially Chinese and Taiwanese, producers. Quality also remains the most important factor usually cited by U.S. producers competing with Italian and German manufacturers. Price, however, does seem to exert greater importance in competition with EU-based woodworking machinery suppliers.
Trade Fairs and Exhibitions
The largest international trade fairs and exhibitions serving this industry are the biennial European trade fairs Ligna (Cologne, Germany) and Fiero Milano (Milan, Italy). Two large domestic fairs, each held biennially in alternating years, serve to expose U.S. and international business visitors to the products of the industry and to associated industries, such as power driven hand tools. They are the Internal Woodworking Fair (IWF) held in even years in Atlanta during August and the AWFS fair held in July of odd years in Las Vegas. Both fairs have received past support from Commerces International Buyer Program (IBP) which has established and operated an International Business Center at each fair. The IBP program will again be present at AWFS in 2009, and the 2010 IWF has applied for renewed IBP support.
WMMA Design Center in India
WMMA received an MDCP award in FY 2008 to establish a design center and a base for expansion of U.S. wood machinery exports to India. Historically, U.S. wood machinery exports to India and many other markets have been project driven, hence rising sharply in one year and then falling again as a project is completed. The MDCP award is designed to provide, in India, a means for U.S. manufacturers to maintain a steady rising export base by building permanent relationships with Indian wood working firms and cultivating repeat business.
There are two principal trade associations serving the domestic industry. The WMMA was founded in 1899 and is based in Philadelphia. It represents domestic machinery manufactures and auxiliary equipment suppliers. WMMA received a $483,000 grant under the MDCP to undertake a program to establish a greater presence for the U.S. woodworking machinery industry in the Indian market. To represent them in the international marketplace, WMMA employs a consultant who was formerly an ITA officer.
The Wood Machinery Industry Association (WMIA), based in Baltimore County, Maryland, represents U.S. firms that import foreign-made woodworking machinery. Many WMIA members act as distributors for foreign-based suppliers. However, they often add value to the machinery at U.S. facilities and provide direct service, including repair, to U.S. firms.

Ravens Stun Patriots with Dominating Win to Advance to Super Bowl
FOXBORO, Mass.–The script to one of the greatest careers in NFL history couldn't have been written any better. All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis, after 17 amazing seasons in Baltimore, will end his career in the Super Bowl as the Ravens shocked odds-makers by beating the New England Patriots, 28-13, in the AFC Championship game on Jan. 20 in Foxboro, Mass.
Baltimore now advances to face the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 at the Superdome in New Orleans, La.
The Ravens came into this game as eight-point underdogs, but just as they did Jan. 6 against the No. 1 seed Denver Broncos, they pulled off the upset, reaching the world championship for the first time since the 2000-01 season.
Unlike their 38-35 double-overtime victory over the Broncos, though, the Ravens dominated the Patriots throughout most of the second half, scoring 21 unanswered points in the third and fourth quarters combined.
New England couldn't get near the end zone in the second half and the Ravens cruised through the final period to secure their place in the title game.
Most Outstanding Player(s) of the Game:
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco once again outplayed New England quarterback Tom Brady, completing 21-of-36 passes for 240 yards, three touchdowns and a 106.3 passer rating.
He outgunned the Patriot's future Hall of Famer in last season's AFC Championship game, but it was overshadowed by a missed field goal by former Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff in the final seconds that resulted in a 23-20 escape win for the Patriots. This time around, Flacco and the Ravens were too good as they gained sweet revenge in Foxboro.
Flacco now owns the NFL record for most road playoff wins with six, breaking a tie with New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning. His career in playoffs is now 8-4, good for the second most playoff wins by a quarterback in his first five seasons. Brady is No. 1 with nine total playoff wins during his first five seasons from 2000-2004.
Most of Flacco's passes were caught by veteran receiver Anquan Boldin, who had five receptions for 60 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Dennis Pitta caught the third touchdown pass from Flacco, finishing with five passes for 55 yards.
Unsung Hero of the Game:
As mentioned before, Brady was outplayed by Flacco, completing 29-of-52 passes for 320 yards and a touchdown, but also tossed two untimely interceptions. One of the Ravens' players who picked Brady off was cornerback Cary Williams, who wrapped up his receiver for most of the game. His interception of Brady came during the final minute of the fourth quarter and was the nail in the coffin for the Ravens' victory.
Cary has been considered by many pundits as the weakest link of the Ravens secondary, but you couldn't say that about him on championship Sunday in Foxboro. The one touchdown scored by Brady was on the opposite side of the field of Cary and only came because of miscommunication between Ravens' cornerbacks Corey Graham and Chykie Brown. Brady tried to attack Cary but he deflected a couple of passes and made three solid tackles when he did give up completions.
More Game Notes:
Ravens star running back Ray Rice ran the ball 19 times for 48 yards and a two-yard touchdown. Rookie running back Bernard Pierce added 52 yards on nine carries. Second-year receiver Torrey Smith caught four passes for 69 yards for the Ravens.
Patriots' receiver Wes Welker had a productive game, catching eight passes for 117 yards in the slot. But he also dropped a key pass on third down that ended a Patriots' drive when the score was still tight early in the third quarter. Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez did a decent job replacing star tight end Rob Gronkowski, catching nine passes for 83 yards.
Linebacking legend Ray Lewis led Baltimore in tackles with eight. Fellow Ravens inside linebacker Dannelle Ellerbe had three tackles and intercepted a tipped pass from Brady with seven minutes left in the game.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh's 8-4 playoff record is tied for first place for the most playoff wins during the first five seasons coaching in NFL history. He will face his younger brother, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, in the Super Bowl. Already nicknamed the "Harb-Bowl," it will be the first time in league history that two biological brothers coached against each other in a Super Bowl.
"No weapon formed against us shall prosper!" That's what Ray Lewis has been shouting to anyone who will listen throughout the entire season. His statement sums up how this season has turned out for the Ravens. They've been through it all this year. They started out red hot and was every pundit's favorites to win the Super Bowl, and then the team was hit with the injury bug midway through the season that forced the same pundits to doubt they could still get it done. But while outsiders doubted, everyone on the team still believed what Ray had been telling them: "No weapon formed against us shall prosper!" This team believes their destiny is to win a Super Bowl.
Not only will their appearance there put a great cap to Lewis' brilliant career, but it may end up doing the same thing for future Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed. Reed hasn't told the media whether he has decided to retire at the end of the season, but I have a feeling that after 10 great years in Baltimore, the Louisiana native will also call it quits after the postseason. And what better way to send off perhaps the greatest coverage safety in football than to win a Super Bowl hosted in your home state. What a magical year for the Ravens and their fans. You have no choice but to love it!

Love that sentiment Ernests.
This lad from Latvia is surely one to watch this season, huh? I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled a "Tsonga" a hit his way into the Aussie Open final. And then? Anything's possible.
Let's just hope he grows out those lovely locks again...

BBC reports that Japan has just sentenced Monotori Kishi to a year in prison for distributing obscene literature. Kishi has naturally appealed the decision. I don't know how many Americans are familiar with manga as genre, but most of it has sexual content. Something I didn't know is that 45% of books and periodicals sold in Japan are manga. I find this decision quite frightening, and an act of censorship on its purest level. If anyone can define pornography for me, in a way that everyone can agree to, let me know, ok? I've been looking for that elusive definition for quite some time now.

(LeMars) -- Senator Rick Santorum of Pennslyvania made a stop in LeMars Monday, campaigning for a republican presidential bid. Calling his tour the Faith, Family, and Freedom Tour, Santorum pledged he would spend every day in Iowa between now and the Iowa Caucus, with the exception of Christmas Eve and Christmas. Santorum told the gathering of nearly 30 people he is the only candidate that has the ability to win, and has the record showing he can get things done.
Listen here
Santorum says he believes in one year from now, the economy will not be the most important topic, but rather our national defense against Iran will take center stage.
Listen here
Santorum says he is the only candidate that has campaigned in each of the 99 Iowa counties. He spoke on the illegal immigration issue, saying the U-S needs to finish the fence at the border. He says the nation's education system needs to be reformed, and he would like to reform taxes. But the former Pennslyvania Senator spoke passionately mostly about Faith and Family. He recited some statistics showing how single parent homes are more likely to live in poverty, and children from single parent homes are also more likely to be involved in crime. Making reference to a light blue colored wrist braclet, he was wearing, that was the acrinum of "Family" Santorum says "family is the answer" to many of today's societial problems.
