The Redskins went on the defensive more than 20
ago over the team's name. Now, it's happening
Dave Johnson, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – In some ways, it is 1991 all over again. The Washington Redskins are the reigning NFC East champs and there is a call for change — a name change.
Several Native American groups, including the National Congress of Indians, have been ramping up their criticism of the use of "Redskins" as the team's nickname. Next month there will be a hearing on a lawsuit to strip federal trademark protection of the name.
Back in 1991, WTOP made a decision to stop using the name because it was offensive to Native Americans. It was a well-meaning call of then general manager Michael Douglass, but it did not start a trend. Other media outlets did not follow WTOP's lead. As I recall, it was generally scoffed at.
The Redskins went on to win the NFC East and then the Super Bowl. The debate over "Redskins" being the nickname of the NFL team in the nation's capital soon faded. As the victory parade rolled through the streets of D.C., there was little discussion about whether "Redskins" was an appropriate moniker for a championship sports team.
At the time, the Redskins defended their nickname. Here in 2013, under the glare of even more scrutiny, the team is again playing defense. There was not a website in 1991, but this week the Redskins posted videos featuring representatives of high schools with the nickname "Redskins" explaining how it is not offensive in their communities.
Redskins general manager Bruce Allen appreciates the team's history. Allen's dad was George Allen, who coached the team in the 1970s. Allen said it was "ludicrous" to suggest that the franchise is trying to upset Native Americans.
"There's nothing that we feel is offensive," Allen said. "And we're proud of our history."
Changing a team's name is not easy.
The Washington Bullets won an NBA title in 1978, but they are now the Wizards. Abe Pollin was the team owner in 1997 when the switch occurred. It was made because he did not want his franchise to have "Bullets" as a nickname in a city that at the time was being called the "murder capital."
I don't expect a similar bold move by Redskins owner Daniel Snyder.
It always seems to come down to the money.
In college sports, offensive nicknames have been dropped. Syracuse is no longer the Orangemen, but just the Orange. St John's is no longer the Redmen, but the Red Storm. North Dakota is no longer the Fighting Sioux. In fact, North Dakota has no nickname.
The NCAA made the sweeping change with names happen when it threatened postseason bans for schools that did not eliminate offensive nicknames.
If the Washington Redskins are ever to have another nickname, it's up to the NFL.
The league has the big bargaining chip in the form of its lucrative television contract and the shares it doles out to member teams.
Barring action by the NFL, it will be 1991 all over again. The issue will fade, even if the hurt some feel by "Redskins" as a nickname doesn't.

Ethiopia Organic Golocha Dry-Process
Josh did 4 levels of sample roasts of this natural Ethiopia on Friday and I cupped it early Monday morning ... so it was well-rested. The lightest roast, like many DP Ethiopias, is not a pretty sight; variation in bean-to-bean color. Hey, that's what dry-processed coffees are like. It's not a beauty contest here. They discovered long ago that it's much better pour the coffee into your mouth, not all over your eyes. Youch! After all most of us grind and drink this stuff, not admire the hue of the roasted bean (although a few people have turned espresso crema and latte art into a visual obsession). Where was I? Golocha. The fact is, the lightest roast had great dried apricot fruit to it, slightly winey, a touch of banana, a little mango, along with buttery roast notes. With each darker roast shade, that was eclipsed by other flavors, soft rustic chocolate tones. Not that chocolate is undesirable at any time, but tasting lively fruit fade through all the darker roast levels is the flavor equivalent of watching the sunset, and the lightest roast was akin to preserving that golden moment of shimmering intensity before the light fades into darkness. Yes, despite this overblown analogy, I basically mean it. (But seriously dude, don't pour the coffee over your eyes). -Tom
I must like dusk better than

I must like dusk better than sunset because I really enjoy the Golocha fairly dark. This is a great coffee! Golocha may supplant Harar as my absolute favorite.

|It's the Pitts
|Written by Lee Pitts
Rustling Up Some Grub
I often criticize city folks for having no idea where their food comes from, but recently it came to my attention there are some farmers and ranchers who have no idea how their dinner magically makes its way to the supper table either.
My friend Jack is no drugstore cowboy. In fact, he's never been in one. Or a grocery store either, for that matter. And Jack is no spring chicken, if you know what I mean.
Once a year Jack and his wife attempt to outrun the snow and go live where the climate fits their clothes. The last time they were in Arizona, Jack's wife was laid up after an operation and, for the first time in his life, Jack had to do the grocery shopping.
Out of the blue one day Jack's lovely wife handed him a list of the "other men" in her life: Orville Reddenbacher, Dr. Pepper, Oscar Meyer, Chef Boy-Ar-Dee, Snappy Tom, Uncle Ben and Jimmy Dean. You can imagine what a shock that was for poor old Jack, as he thought he had been his wife's "one and only" all these years.
By following a detailed set of instructions Jack found his way to these gentlemen's place of business: a "super store" where you could bank, buy your motor oil and buy a Big Mac all in the same building. Jack unknowingly parked in the handicapped space, which was appropriate because when it came to shopping he was definitely impaired.
Never having shopped for groceries, my friend was unaware of the age-old traditions of going to market. Instead of picking up a grocery cart outside the store Jack just appropriated one in the meat aisle. Then he went the "wrong way" down a crowded aisle causing a traffic jam in jellies.
For an hour he criss-crossed the store looking for lunch. It made no sense to him why they didn't put all the ingredients in one spot for a peanut butter, banana and pickle sandwich, but he couldn't find the bananas by the Skippy and he never did find the dill pickles.
And just like a man, Jack refused to ask directions. Had he known he would have been in the store for three hours he would have worn more comfortable boots.
Jack's emotions ran the gamut from anger to wonder. He got jealous when he strolled down the pet food aisle and saw how good the dogs and cats were eating and the cookie selection made him break out in chocolate chips.
When the store manager found Jack shaking in his shorts by the meat freezer, he couldn't tell if it was because the rancher was angered at the price per pound of beef or if Jack had just been trying to cool down from the Arizona heat and had stayed too long.
As all women know, shopping is not for sissies! Jack was clearly not aggressive enough and far too sensitive to the needs of others. He didn't cry over spilt milk but he did break down in tears when a candidate for Weight Watchers grabbed the last dozen cream puffs right out of his trembling hands.
By shopping when he was hungry, Jack had broken the #1 rule of procurement. He compensated by gorging on "free sample" bran muffins in the bakery and, thereby, learned rule #2: don't go shopping when you're in a hurry to go some place either!
Despite Jack's many revelations, his greatest shock occurred at the check-out stand when he read the "news" in the tabloids. He was deep into a pregnant man article when the clerk asked, "paper or plastic?"
Of course, Jack thought she was referring to his method of payment. By the time the checker yelled for a "carry out" Jack was ready. But he seriously doubted the smallish box girl could lift him.
Once home Jack took a much needed nap. But when he awoke from his fitful snooze his convalescing wife asked him to go to the kitchen and prepare dinner. But that's another story about another place Jack had never ever been before.

similar injuries right?
but the thing is
rondo is not as athletic as rose and westbrook
but coming from acl injuries? rose and westbrook will definitely affect their game.
i mean rose and westbrook uses their leaping ability to score while rondo played like a typhical pg
he doesnt have to jump as high as westbrook and rose to contribute or to help the team.
look at steve francis and baron davis how they ended their respective careers.
thats how valuable rondo is despite of his injury.

He succeeds to fool billions of folks that he exists without revealing himself to them.
That's ridiculously idiotic]]>
Any suggestion as to how we can get this idea off the ground? How can we take the main heads of each Religion to court and let them, in front of all the world to see, prove that their deity exists. I'm sure that they will all fail. If these heads of each religion fails to show proofs of an invisible god, then we will know for sure what we've been stating all along, god does not exist.
I'm hoping that Sam Harris gives us some direction as to how we can make this happen. Imagine, we bring all the heads of each religion and have them prove, in a court of law, that their invisible god exists.
Looking forward to hearing others like minded individuals with ideas as to how we can make this happen. How do we contact each head of each religion and how do we make them come to court?]]>
I am not affiliated with the following people, but cheap used books are available at AbeBooks . com
Type in "Sam Harris" as a phrase in the search bar.
Anyone know other real cheap sources of used Sam Harris books?
How about changing the name from theory of evolution to the "law of evolution"? It sounds more powerful, unquestionable and I think that we have for a long time reached a level of certainty about the validity of the theory so that it is justifiable to call it a law of science.
I thought of this when watching a couple of years old lecture by Professor Dawkins where he speaks about consciousness raising and the importance of the correct use of language when speaking about a catholic child vs child of catholic parents where the latter would be the correct term since the child does not know what he/she prefers and thus is being labeled.
Although this move will not by any means win the battle I think when new people would come across the term it would give evolution a higher stature.
I think that psychologically it is easy to dismiss something like "just a theory" but to dismiss a law, at least in my mind seems a bit harder.
What do you think?]]>
On p. 20, Harris writes (regarding the ten commandments), "The first four of these ... have nothing to do…with morality." Although the first four commandments do not concern our relationship with other human beings, they do concern our relationship with ourselves and god. But certainly our relationship with ourselves (and God, if you already believe Christianity) will impact our relationships with others.
On p. 76, Harris writes/quotes, "If there is a God, he has an inordinate fondness for Beetles [as there are now 350,000 known species of beetles]. One would have hope that an observation this devastating would have closed the book on creationism for all time." Could someone please make his argument much more explicit for my sake. My Christian friends aren't buying it, and I'm not selling it well
I really appreciate any help you might give me.]]>
Do you think it was simply embarrassment? Reputation?
Maybe they thought it would all go away if it was all swept under the rug.
Does this say something about how dangerous religion is itself? That its "squeky clean" image must come before the truth.]]>
Thank you
If God does not exist, objective moral values do not exist (1a)
Objective moral values do exist
Therefore, God Exists
The above is an argument. It has two premises and a conclusion. The first premise is: "If God does not exist, objective moral values do not exist." The second premise is "Objective moral values do exist." and the conclusion is "God exists."
The conclusion does validly follow from the premises via the rule of Modus Tollens (more on this later, if needed), not Modus Ponens.
More to the point, though the above argument does have (1a) as a premise, it is crucial to recognize that (1a) is not the same as the argument in which (1a) occurs. Obvious, right? The above argument contains much more information than (1a) by itself.
Why is this important? For many reasons. Perhaps the most important is that a person can believe that (1a) is true and yet believe that the second premise and the conclusion are both false. That is, believing that (1a) is true does not commit one to believing that either the second premise or the conclusion are true.
Here is an analogy:
Premise i: If there is life on Mars, then we are not alone in the universe.
Premise ii: There is life on Mars.
Conclusion: We are not alone in the universe.
I can believe Premise i and still maintain that Premise ii and the conclusion are both false. Right?
Another example:
Premise i: If there is life on Mars, then we are not alone in the universe.
Premise iii: We ARE alone in the universe.
Conclusion: There is no life on Mars.
Again, I can believe that Premise i is true and still maintain that Premise iii is false and the conclusion is false.
So, it is crucial to distinguish between a conditional statement and an argument in which the conditional statement occurs as a premise. You have been confusing the conditional statement (1a) with an argument in which it occurs.
To dispel the 'clouds of reason'...
God exists in so far as the word 'God' came form the mind of mankind in a bid to understand one's relationship to everything. In that respect God is a concept and exists as such. In respect to the deeper significance of why the concept originated, the closest we can come to that is to conceptualise the highest aspirations of mankind, there it comes down to choice and freewill, and an understanding of evolution, the apparent order in chaos. So the decision has to be made, WHAT is God !? In it's subtlest form, (and perhaps most chaotic for the mind/ego to accept ) God IS…simple as that ([hypothesis] Ref: Isreal - Hebrew Trans: God-Fighting; the name given to Jacob by 'God' upon his wrestling with his conscience ), but in so far as how mankind conducts himself for the best possible outcome for the most individuals (all men being created essentially equal), 'God', or the ultimate Go[o]d, is truth and love…and we all know that absolute truth is inconcievable ( beyond concept ) so there's one thing left to work with, and for that one needs to know oneself, beyond emotions, and intellect…it's about how people FEEL nad what is the feeling most conducive to achieving the truth ( what is TRUE being that which has the right aim ), and how should that aim be achieved. THAT was what the word 'Religion' was first used for, the search for one's self.
The debate really need to move beyond 'sides' and differences to what there is in common witnin all of us and how we are going to utilise that commonality to achieve what we NEED, and we have to WANT that if there is going to be any 'real' progress. For that we have to make the right choices using what little freedom we have to choose, based upon experience. It takes courage and the willingness to live by example, REGARDLESS of the opinions of others. Evolution has provided us with all we require in that respect, most notably the ability to make compassionate decisions with respect to our affairs with one another.
Religion as an aspiration became estranged the moment Socrates was condemned by the Athenian elite who saw him as a threat to their paedophilia, cronyism, and unwilingness to extend themselves beyond the concepts of expression of ape-like aggression and debauchery.
In order to evolve in a benign manner we need to make the right choices. For that we have to go beyond what we think to what we feel, and there is empiricism in that, governed by the autonomous nervous system, where our emotions/sympathetic and intellect/parasympathetic meet.]]>
Dear Mr. Harris,
My name is Julia and I'm a recent college graduate living in British Columbia. This summer I read your book Letter to a Christian Nation. No doubt receiving replies to it is now, for you, old news. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to write.
I made many long drafts of this letter that began by enumerating all the points on which I agree with you. The idea was that if you were made to realize that there are Christians who believe, as you do, that (for instance) Christian politicians ought not to try to legislate Christian values – by, for example, resisting the promulgation of an HPV vaccination on the grounds that HPV deters premarital sex, or by fighting tooth and nail the institution of gay marriage – you might be caused to acknowledge (or at least consider) the existence of Christians worthy of your intellectual respect.
Because a respectable, wholesome, holistic intellectual credibility is the one characteristic that you believe it impossible to attribute to anyone who calls him or herself a Christian. Your Letter is scathing. Contemplating theological questions is "a hilarious, terrifying, unconscionable waste of time," period. (66) You treat all religious beliefs as they were simply obviously false. Muslim beliefs are foolish to you, and you bank on Christians having the same intuition, hoping in the end to show them that they can be no more assured of their own religious beliefs than Muslims can be of theirs. ("...every devout Muslim has the same reasons for being a Muslim that you have for being a Christian…[But] isn't it obvious that Muslims are fooling themselves?" (6-7))
No, it is not obvious. It is not at all obvious, and this line of argument is all but begging fundamentalist Christians to forsake critical thinking and any effort to reasonable judgement. I, for one, am convinced that Muslims are mistaken, but I don't leap to the conclusion that therefore they're all loonies. I suspect that many of them believe certain details about the life and identity of Muhammad and the nature of the Koran on the basis of what you and I would both consider to be good reasons in ordinary circumstances: the testimony of trusted family and friends, and historical accounts of the life of Muhammad, for example. This does not change the fact that they hold false beliefs, but it's worse than a waste of paper – because it encourages closed-minded irrationality – to simply treat Islam as a joke.
You paint a picture of Christians as morally impoverished, prioritizing a political agenda that causes more suffering than it does good. Yes, there are Christians who fit your description. But surely you must realize that yet others have a totally different interpretation of what it means to be a follower of Christ? An interpretation that is notably lacking the American-fundamentalist urgency of integrating church and state, but nevertheless an interpretation that agrees with that of the authors of the gospels: that Jesus is God, was sent by God to reconcile God to men, performed miracles, laid down his life, and took it up again three days after he was crucified.
There are millions such as these who will feel your Letter is not addressed to them; that you talk past them; that your arguments fail to penetrate the heart of Christianity. These Christians are prepared to agree with much of what you say. They are not your enemies. And yet you alienate them by presuming them idiots.
I am ready to agree with you that extreme cruelty and devastating harm has been carried out by Christians in the name of Christ. Christianity's history has some dark and nasty chapters, and it would be heedless for contemporary Christians to forget these entirely. But it is just as short-sighted to judge Christ's teachings based on someone else's interpretation of them – which is what we are doing if dismiss Christianity because of the evil that purports itself to be committed in its name. As you yourself point out, "even if atheism led straight to moral chaos, this would not suggest that the doctrine of Christianity is true." (46)
I am ready to agree with you that many of the commandments found in the Old Testament do not agree with our moral intuitions. Reason and Conscience are the best tools we have with respect to the pursuit of morality, and we should guard them against a blind adherence to dogma. That said, it is foolishness to reject the Bible in its entirety merely because it contains accounts of deeds that we find morally questionable. As you know, the Bible is a complex book containing many genres, and written over a span of thousands of years by many authors from regions and cultures dissimilar from our own. Different parts have been written for different purposes. Just like any other historical document, the Bible is a text the reading of which requires discernment, interpretation, and relevant historical and cultural contextual knowledge to fully understand the import and intent, and thus its relevance for us today. This does not mean that it can't contain either contain historical truths or actual revelation from God.
But in addition to these things, I also believe Jesus' life, death, and resurrection to be vital to the ultimate flourishing of our souls. Who Jesus is matters. Whether we believe Jesus is who he said he was matters. Not only because our beliefs about this influence what metaphysical/spiritual beliefs we end up holding, but because they also matter to the condition of our souls. I know you understand this. Perhaps for us Christians to believe such things doesn't bother you as long as we keep our noses out of politics… but I rather think not. There exist millions of non-fundamental, non-liberal Christians who love Jesus and strive to live their lives for him. We find the gospels compelling, convincing, believable. Please start there.
Sincerely Yours,
Julia Neufeld

The Lib Tech Skate Banana BTX snowboard hasn't changed much since it flipped the industry on its head five years ago, so rather than mess with the winning formula, it's offered in assorted colors. That's good for you, because it makes it way less likely that you'll see a thousand people riding the same killer deck. OG Banana Tech rocker makes the ride downright telepathic. Magne-Traction edges give you get insane grip even on ice and hardpack. It's already won about a million awards for being awesome. Better yet, the people who build them are eco-conscious and shred more days a season than should be allowed. Strap into a banana and find out what all the fuss is about.
The Skate Banana is built on Lib's BTX rocker profile. Basically, that means that there's rocker between the bindings, while the tip and tail have the slightest bit of camber. The result is a loose, catch free ride that gives you enough pressure at the ends to charge hard. It gets better with Magne-Traction edges, which place seven strategic bumps along the edges. The bumps are bigger between the feet, which concentrates most of the grip there for a ride feeling that's more like a skateboard and less like standing on some old timer's skis. Plus it's a true twin, for unrestricted switch shredding.
The H Pop core uses fast growing, sustainably harvested wood for a board that's light, and snappy. Power Transfer internal sidewalls crank up the durability, and they're buffered by UHMW external sidewalls for impact resistance. The Teflon infused TNT base holds up to jibbing and runs fast even when you forget to wax it for a few days. Best of all, you can rest easy knowing that your snowboard was built with eco-friendly materials by snowboarders with jobs.

The best board
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I had this board for several years now, I had a 151, and now I change it for a 149 and it rocks!! Love the floating sensation in powder and the magna traction does the trick during those icy days. You�ll never catch an edge and the pop is fantastic at the park
This Board is BANANAS!
On my second Banana I decided to step it up a notch and try a 156 instead of the 52 I was rocking before and same great feel. This board never fails in any weather from the deepest of the deep to the Icy ice baby. The Magne traction is always nuts. Keeps you going like a smooth criminal with a nice stable control and the pop and flex is great for slaying that dragon in the park. You can take this board anywhere and always be satisfied. Just an all around great all mountain board!

I'm around 6'1 180 and have a size 12 boot, would it be adiveseable to get the skate banana wide or would this one be fine
Hey Alonzo,
I would recommend going with the wide since you have a rather large boot size. Typically I suggest going wide if your boots are larger than a 10.5 so that you dont get any dreaded toe or heel drag. The last thing you want is to lose an edge cause your boots are too big for your board.

Do you guys have the Yelllow/Blue in a 145, because Lib techs website has it in 145cm but they do not have the option to pick it in Yelllow/Blue. They just have Assorted colors, Stealth, and Yellow. Weird because they clearly show all the colors but only give you 3 to pick from. Check it out for your self http://www.lib-tech.com/snowboards/skate-banana/
Hey Brenden, I took a look and it only provides 3 options because for the Skate Banana the color you can choose are Yellow, Stealth and Assorted. Since it is an assorted item we can't promise you will receive a certain color. Its just a random color out of the options shown in the picture. Hope this helps. Let us know if you need anything else.

11Alive News was the first to report on the videotaped police interrogation in which Detective Michael Hellerman uses a racial slur as he tries to intimidate Dwight into confessing to a carjacking and armed robbery -- crimes he insists he did not commit.

The fallout from the videotape and our special report continues to widen. Two metro Atlanta law enforcement agencies -- the DeKalb County Police Department and the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office -- have launched internal investigations into the conduct of their officers and the use of the racial slur.
Rockdale County Sheriff Eric Levett tells 11Alive News he's ordered an investigation into the agency's handling of the incident. Sheriff Levett says Rockdale County Investigator Tracy Radford was present in the interrogation room when the racial slur was used. The Sheriff says the investigation will check to see if Inv. Radford ever reported the incident to his supervisors.
Sheriff Levett also issued an apology for the incident. "On behalf of the Rockdale Sheriff's Office, I would apologize to Mr. Dwight for those words being said." Sheriff Levett said.
The videotape shows DeKalb County Detective Michael Hellerman threatening an Nathan Dwight with the prospect of being convicted by a "jury full of white people," who will only see him as a "straight-up n*****."
DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric Alexander says any disciplinary action for Det. Hellerman is pending the outcome of the department's internal investigation into the incident.
In 2009, Nathan Dwight was accused of carjacking a woman in DeKalb County and then using that stolen car in a violent armed robbery of a convenience store in Rockdale County.
He was tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the robbery in Rockdale.
Eyewitnesses identified him, even though the robber was wearing a disguise.
Nathan spent more than two years behind bars before DNA evidence found in the stolen car convinced a judge to overturn his conviction.
During a blistering police interrogation, the then 21-year-old adamantly maintained his innocence.
The police, however, were convinced they had their man and turned up the heat in hopes of getting a confession. In stark, unflattering terms, Detective Michael Hellerman paints a picture of Dwight's chances before a jury.
"We're going to get a whole jury -- a whole jury full of white people," Detective Hellerman told an visibly agitated Dwight.
"I'm not confessing to nothing I didn't do," Dwight interjected.
"I'm going to put this picture," Detective Hellerman said, referring to a still image from the security cameras at the convenience store, "...next to your photo lineup and you know what they're going to see? They're going to see a straight-up n*****!"
"That's not me!" Dwight replied, his voice rising. "That's not me, sir."
Dwight sat down with 11Alive's Devin Fehely, saying "Morally, in my eyes, that was wrong. I mean he looked me dead in my face and called me, 'a n****.' It was just blatant."
In the interrogation video you can see a desperate Dwight make one final plea to convince detectives hey had the wrong guy.
"Please. I mean this is my life on the line. I know I didn't do this. And I watch too many movies seeing folks going to jail for 20 and 30 years for some crap they didn't even do," the tape shows Dwight saying.
DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric Alexander said, "It sent a chill up my back that an investigator in this police department would use such language."
11Alive News showed the interrogation video to Chief Alexander and his reaction was a mix of embarrassment and outrage.
"Quite frankly, I shouldn't be the only person upset with this. I think anybody in the judicial system should be absolutely outraged by this," he said.
The jurors at Dwight's original trial saw parts of the videotaped interrogation, but neither the prosecution nor the defense played the segment where Detective Hellerman used the n-word.
Defense attorney Mawuli Davis said, "They needed to see how far this officer would go to get this young man to confess to something that he has always said he did not do."
The tape is controversial to be sure, but the courts have ruled police have lots of leeway in how they talk and what they say to suspects in their custody, allowing them to misrepresent evidence and even to lie, if it helps get a confession.
11Alive News asked Jessica Gabel, a law professor at Georgia State University, to conduct a top-to-bottom review of the case.
"I think he absolutely crossed a line. He crossed a line and implied you're not going to get a fair trial in this town because you're black," she said. "What the police and perhaps the prosecution suffered from in this case was a bit of tunnel vision."
Despite Dwight's case being overturned in Rockdale County he's not in the clear yet. He could still be charged in DeKalb where the carjacking case remains open.
The DeKalb County DA's office has not decided what it intends to do with this case.

Public deserves answers from police
(Page 2 of 2)
When it comes to public safety, residents want to help. They are willing to be the eyes and ears of the police who can't be everywhere. If public safety wasn't important to residents, they would not have filled the American Legion hall to hear from law enforcement officials, and volunteer organizations like the Valley Stream Civilian Patrol and Auxiliary Police units would not exist.
The public can be a valuable crime-fighting tool. Citizens should not be shielded from the details of horrific crime. For their own safety, they need to know what is happening so they can take the proper steps to protect themselves.
We hope that as the investigation wraps up, the police will give the public a sensible answer as to why the Aug. 12 crimes were not reported right away. We also hope that in the future, police will re-evaluate their procedures so that the public is more aware of criminal activity, and can help put the bad guys away sooner.

To stay on topic in this particular thread, however, you can only make positive comments about cover art and present cover art that you like, through embedding or links. (Good-natured jokes, however, are acceptable.) In particular, the word "childish" is completely off topic and should not be used, even when discussing the cover art for children's and YA fiction. You will also be off-topic if you critique any other member's positive opinion about a cover. (There are many other threads on cover art in the forum for those who would prefer not to participate in such a topic regarding cover art.) A cover that I liked very much recently, which I've mentioned elsewhere, is the cover for Jay Lake's new novel Green. It's dynamic and arresting, I find, and the color is appropriately gorgeous. http://www.amazon.com/Green-Jay-Lake/dp/0765321858/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244776933&sr=8-1 I also really like this one for a novel of Lawrence Watt-Evans due out this fall: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/07...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846 Making it like a watercolor sketch goes well with the figure's Renaissance garb, and the image is distinct and caught my attention. (Apologies for using Amazon links, but my computer is physically incapable of embedding images at SFFWorld and we haven't been able to fix it.)

No on-court interview. No sentimental comments. Marat Safin, the 2000 champ, just packed his bag, waved good-bye, and exited the court closing out his Grand Slam career after falling to Jurgen Melzer 1-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 in the US Open first round.
Check out this Sports Illustrated article about the giant Russian which calls him "one of the game's great wastes." Nice.
Fabrice Santoro also played perhaps his last major match today going down to Juan Carlos Ferrero 6-4, 6-3, 6-3. Au revoir Magician - in case you don't change your mind.
UPDATE: Click here for Marat's post-match presser - classic stuff. Some highlights...
Q. What are you going to do?
MARAT SAFIN: I will see. But definitely I want to get out a little bit of tennis scene and try something completely different. I have plenty of time to think about it.
I just felt like it's it's been a long ride, so I need some time off, you know. It's enough. It was a great 12 years of my career. I don't think I played five years and I retired. I've been around for a long time.
Q. Djokovic said yesterday you told him you were going to go and climb a mountain South America; is that right?
MARAT SAFIN: Djokovic has the breaking news, huh? (Laughter) I think he should stick to his tennis and keep his mind into tennis instead of giving up my private life. (laughter.)
Q. Stefan Edberg, when he retired, he announces it a year before he did. He had a farewell tour.
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, and he was getting tired of doing it every week.
Q. Very tired.
MARAT SAFIN: Bye bye, bye bye, and bye bye again.
Q. I'm sure you will not miss some of the questions. What will you miss most from the tennis?
MARAT SAFIN: Good question.
I think I need to get away from tennis for some time to realize what I will miss, what I'm missing about it. Right now, just difficult to decide what exactly I will miss. Because it's great traveling. It's pretty great life.
But also it's in one way. In second way, in a different way, you have to practice. You have to go to the courts. You have to, like for example, here first few days it's like a zoo. It's like a million people running around, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, so many people. That's pretty much annoying.
But at the same time you know you're going to New York and it's beautiful town. You're staying in good hotels. The people, they treat you well. You get the car service, which I think is great. You go to the great restaurants.
You can spend don't have to think how much I can spend on my dinner. So it gives you a good life. You have to pay for it being here on the court and stress out. 4 All in, I don't know, third set, the tiebreak, but you have to work your way through.
I will be able to give you a right answer in a year or so.
Q. How difficult was to be No. 1? You were young. And then you talk about your sister; she's No. 1. You told us also about the papers writing about your private life. And also you remember Safinettes, the girls?
MARAT SAFIN: Still remember?
Q. So for your sister, it is not the same problem. At least she doesn't have all these boyfriends and pictures.
MARAT SAFIN: Well, everybody is hard on her why she's No. 1. You have this contest issue, is she a real No. 1 or not? You open the page, she made eight double faults, 43 unforced errors. She struggled, almost lost to 18 years old.
Who cares? I mean, she's No. 1 in the world. I have to protect my sister. The poor girl, she's trying her best. She's doing really well. She gets the attention, but not the kind of attention that a person deserves, especially when you're No. 1 in the world.
Everybody is giving her hard time about, Are you really No. 1 in the world? Yes, yes, she's really No. 1 in the world. Go check on the ranking. She didn't do the ranking.
Apparently there is some guy who made the ranking. On this ranking, she's No. 1 in the world. Serena, she didn't say even though she won two Grand Slams this year, she's No. 2. Sorry, but that's the way. Deal with that.
I'm just personally, I'm really like, I have to protect her. I feel like she deserve a little bit more than what she's getting right now. I think she's playing you can't imagine how crazy she is about sport. I don't think there is one person in the world who is more professional than her.
Everybody is like hitting on her and giving her a hard time about this, how many, what happened to this serve, what happened this, what happened with that? Leave her alone. Give her a little bit less questions. So it's just all to you guys. Make her happy. That's it.
Q. Luckily she doesn't have all those boyfriends as you had girlfriends.
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah. Yes, she's opposite of me.

Paranormal Activity Gets Wide Release, But Only If You Click
Paramount Pictures has announced that the much lusted after new horror movie Paranormal Activity may, after weeks of fan teasing, go wide. But of course since this is Paranormal Activity it will only go wide if you get on the internet and click a button

Paranormal Activity Director Starts On His Next Film
Writer-director Oren Peli's film isn't really all that much like Blair Witch, given that it's set inside a house and actually shows you (sort of) the thing you're supposed to be scared of. But his next film might be headed even further in the Blair Witch direction

Paranormal Activity Expands To 20 Cities
Im a cynical bastard so when I heard that Paramount was staging special midnight screenings last week to gauge audience reaction to Paranormal Activity, as a means of deciding whether or not to release it wider

Review: Paranormal Activity Midnight Screening
As a horror weenie and someone who gets legitimately scared even in ridiculous Nightmare on Elm Street sequels, I can't fairly vouch for how scary Paranormal Activity is. But it's a fascinating indie film, an example of how much can be done with so little money

Paranormal Activity Trailer And Poster
Paranormal Activity is yet another movie for believers. As always when I write about one of these movies, Im forced to get this out of the way right off the bat. I am not a believer. I am a skeptic. This movie is not for me, but its probably for you

Amber Block Paraffin - 6 lbs
This is our selection of the Amber paraffin waxes, the purest, most refined waxes in the industry! The filtering and refining system they have developed creates a seemingly elastic paraffin that does not dry and crack. Available unscented and in several delightful scents, we invite you to enjoy these waxes. The 6-pound breakaway refill is designed to fit directly into the Amber Spa (after the wax paper grid is removed) or to break into 1-pound pieces. The wax paper grid allows the wax to break easily.
A great paraffin wax, if you don't mind the mess. It appears that the wax is subjected to heat while it's being stored. There is melted/re-solidified wax in the box and all over the wrappings. Also, it doesn't come in the nice, neat squares that it's pictured in.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that MSDS/SDS be available to employees for potentially harmful substances handled in the workplace under the Hazard Communication regulation.

Letters to the Editor
< Previous page 1 2 3 4 5
(Page 5 of 5)
If I wanted to ride in old police cars converted to taxis, I would get myself arrested or ask the RVC police for a ride home. Drivers shouldn't be eating or smoking in the vehicles. No new bad paint jobs and discounted fares, because they are afraid of competition, are going to help their business. If the other taxi service is like All Island, maybe we shouldn't consider them. So they need to make sure they live up to a certain standard.
It's time All Island becomes accountable. This is what happens when a business becomes a monopoly: it doesn't have to fix its problems. They are the only game in town, literally. It's not just getting somebody from point A to point B, it's what happens when you're getting there.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes and No. 7 Georgia overcame a slow start to beat Mississippi 37-10 on Saturday and move one win away from a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game.
Georgia (8-1, 6-1 SEC) trailed 10-0 before scoring 37 unanswered points. The Bulldogs can clinch the SEC East title and second straight trip to the conference championship game with a win at Auburn next week.
Ole Miss (5-4, 2-3) used blitzes to record five sacks in the first half. The defensive gambles left opportunities for Murray, who completed 21 of 28 passes for 384 yards with no interceptions and touchdown passes of 66, 40, 42 and 28 yards.
Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree had a safety, a sack and an interception. His twin brother, fullback Alexander Ogletree, had an 8-yard touchdown run.

A Rockford girl is scheduled to get a new kidney Friday from a donor who answered her mother's newspaper ad.
Angela Rushford will have transplant surgery at the University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison.
The donor is David Harper of Mount Morris. He responded to the ad placed in the Rock River Times by Angela's mother.
Harper says he answered the ad because his faith called him to donate an organ. He was deemed a match for Angela, who suffers from polycystic renal failure.
Harper says he had never read that particular newspaper before seeing the ad.

Butler named A.L. Player of the Month for September!
Congrats to Royals first baseman Billy Butler, who was named the American League Player of the Month for September today!
Billy batted .363 in the month with 10 doubles, six home runs and 26 RBI. Billy recorded his fourth 3-double game of the season on September 9 vs. Detroit (a MLB record) and had a pair of 2-homer games on September 7 vs. Los Angeles and September 25 vs. Minnesota. Billy's 26 RBI in the month led the American League and were tied for second in baseball.
Butler, who picked up an American League Player of the Week award both in August and September, joins Zack Greinke (April) as winners of the monthly award in 2009. He and Zack are the first Royals duo to win the award in the same season since 2000 when Jermaine Dye and Johnny Damon took home the honor.
Butler will receive a specially designed trophy and a Sharp Aquos television.

Leaders of the University of North Carolina system are close to voting on a proposal that would raise tuition and fees by more than $400 on average.
A board of governors committee that oversees budget and finance issues is scheduled to discuss the proposal Thursday in Chapel Hill ahead of a planned Friday vote by the board.
UNC System President Tom Ross is recommending increases that average nearly 9 percent, running from $199 at UNC-Pembroke to $676 at UNC-Chapel Hill.
Ross says the increases will only partly address the $414 million cut from the system's budget by lawmakers last year. The 16 university campuses and the School of Science and Math in Durham have eliminated more than 3,000 employees since then.
Students are planning demonstrations to protest the proposal Friday.
UNC-Greensboro sociology student Juan Miranda of Charlotte says he's struggling to pay for school, which is becoming more and more of a luxury unavailable to working families. He and other students are trying to organize a bus caravan for a march in Chapel Hill on Friday before university system trustees vote.
An undergraduate student who is a North Carolina resident pays an average tuition and fees of nearly $5,300. The College Board reports that's nearly $3,000 less than the national average.
UNC System President Tom Ross is recommending raising tuition and fees by an average of 9 percent when the new academic year starts in August.

Published: Friday, April 19, 2013 at 4:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 19, 2013 at 4:48 p.m.
OCALA - Sheriff's detectives on Friday arrested a 22-year-old man on 20 counts of possession of child pornography.
Detective C.J. Whiteside noted in his report that he was investigating child pornography cases when he detected someone had obtained several files of obscene materials. Whiteside got a search warrant for a residence in Reddick and found at two computers on which were multiple videos depicting children involved in various sexual activities.
The owner of the residence told Whiteside that Jose A. Torres Ocho uses the desktop computer and laptop.
Torres Ocho admitted to Whiteside that he downloaded and watched child pornography on the two computers, according to reports. He was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail.
