What's your make-it-or-break-it election issue?
(Page 2 of 3)
When you hear Barack Obama talk about building the middle class and providing a chance for all Americans to go to college and start businesses and find success, you may not agree with him, but you know he is telling the truth.
The president has also been an astute leader on the world stage. Not perfect, but better than Romney, who seems to lack finesse and tact in international interactions. His tone-deaf tour of Europe was embarrassing and clumsy. His blunders on Russia and Israel and even on the Olympic Games in England are "tells." He's a smart businessman who "don't know much about history."
Compare that with candidate Obama's tour of Europe in 2008. The crowds, in the hundreds of thousands, cheered him on. He did so well that the Republicans accused him of acting like a "celebrity." He couldn't help it if people responded to his call for change.
Could Romney learn on the job? I suppose so. But we have someone good at the helm. Why change captains in these rough seas?
Yes, many of us have multiple reasons for sticking with President Obama. But for me, and many other women and men, the right to choose is the deal-maker and the deal-breaker. There is something so basic about being able to make decisions about your own body; the thought of someone, or some government, challenging that right is horrifying.
If you sit down with any group of women and the discussion turns to abortion, and the women are honest, you will discover that the right to choose abortion is exercised by women of all faiths and all walks of life, all the time. When Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, says his faith informs his decision on abortion, then he and his wife shouldn't choose abortion. When Romney says he now opposes abortion, that's OK if it's a personal decision. But here's the thing: Their beliefs, whether religious or moral or political, must not infringe on any woman's right to choose.
Romney's mask-of-the-week puts him in the camp of the far right. No choice on reproductive rights. Well, maybe in the case of rape or incest or a threat to the life of the mother, although other Republicans would allow no exceptions.

Congrats and great buck!
Nice buck for sure, and your 1st buck ... wow. That is something to be proud of.
Congrats and great buck!
I got him about 5 miles from my jeep and I had never seen a dead deer before. Thank goodness for YouTube. I had watched quite a few videos about the "gutless method" and pretty well memorized what I needed to do. I started skinning him just behind his front shoulder. I got all the skin off of his rear quarter except evidence of sex. Finally got that quarter off, put it in a game bag, then in a white 3mm thick contractor bag, tied it up and put it in a shaded pool of the nearby creek. Then, I took off the backstrap, front quarter, and neck meat and got them in the creek. Then I rolled him over and did the same for the other side. Finally, I cut open his stomach cavity, shoved the guts out of the way, and reached up to get the tenderloins. The whole process took me about three hours. I know it takes some of you less than one. I felt very lucky that there were not more than a dozen or so black flies buzzing around me until the end when I was joined by yellow jackets, butterflies, and even clark's nutcrackers. The thing I was most concerned about was all the hair I got on the meat. Because I did the skinning and quartering more or less simultaneously, I did get a fair amount of hair on the meat. After I got home I cleaned each quarter in the sink before taking it to the processor.
The real work was carrying him out. I took half of him (the first two bags were already pretty cool by then) plus most of my camp and rifle on the first trip. I was about 3/4 to a mile of steep nasty stuff from a trail. Then about 4 miles on the relatively flat trail back to my jeep. In my jeep was a 120 quart cooler with gallon jugs of frozen water covered with an old sleeping bag. The ice held up really well. By the time I got to my jeep, it was 7pm. So, I tossed him in the cooler and spent the night at a hotel in Leadville. I came back the next day for the second half which was much easier but still very hard work.
I left his head and antlers on the mountain. My wife said she didn't want any trophies in the house. Up until I came back from this trip, she was actually downright against hunting. Luckily she understands that we are different people and that this was important to me. So, she sent me off with good wishes. Now, she is proud of me and can't wait to eat the lean healthy meat. I know where I left his head, so I'll go back for it in the spring. Even if I can't mount him, I can at least keep him in the garage as a memento (married guys here know you have to pick your battles). In the meantime, I keep looking at the pictures of him on my phone and growing increasingly proud of my hunt.
Thanks to everyone here for your congratulations. They mean a lot to me.
Awesome Eric!
What a great hunt. Congrats!
Now go get the head. Trust me, do it now.
Well done! You deserve to grab those horns every now and then to remind you of the meat you personally provided for your family and for the dedication you had during your first hunt. That battle might be worth the fight.
Great job on your fisrt buck! Still hunting is becoming a lost art, I love that style of hunting. I agree with the others, go get those horns, they are great reminders of the hunt. I have all but one or 2 sets of mine, I still look at my first set from 30 years ago.
Wow, that's a heck of a first buck. Great job! I hope you get back up there for the rack.
Great job Eric. Was I right about still hunting? Fun wasn't it?
You need to study up some more on the gutless method. If you do it right the hair won't get near the meat, and there's no need to gut it to get the loins. It's done from the spine side.
Thanks, Pete. It was great fun. I look forward to doing it again next year.
I definitely did some fumbling around which I won't have to repeat. I don't think I would have got any hair on the meat if I wasn't so tentative about skinning him. I had it in my head that the tenderloins were right underneath the backstraps. I didn't realize they'd be so far back. But I still can't imagine getting them out from the spine side. So, I'll watch another gutless video. I have plenty of time until next year.
If I hunt the same unit next year I won't bother carrying binoculars. I thought you were crazy for saying that. I almost packed a scope and tripod too. But with a muzzleloader in the type of country I was hunting binoculars were just extra weight swinging around my neck.
Hunt light and sneaky like an indian.

Bitcoin Exchange Website Mt. Gox Vanishes Amid Rumors Of Theft
Newscast Media TOKYO—Once the world's biggest Bitcoin exchange, Tokyo-based Mt.
Gox has appeared to have essentially vanished into thin air, with its website content
not accessible. Reports about a debilitating theft are running wild.
The disappearance of the Mt. Gox website content on Tuesday marked another
setback for efforts to gain legitimacy for the Bitcoin virtual currency. The URL of the
exchange was returning a blank page, following Sunday's resignation of CEO Mark
Karpeles from the Board of the Bitcoin Foundation.
A report spread online and believed to be an internal Mt. Gox document said more
than 740,000 bitcoins were missing from the exchange. It said the theft went
unnoticed for several years and turned on disguised withdrawals.
A theft of that magnitude would equate to losses of $350 million (255 million euros) at
current Bitcoin prices, the report suggested.
Tokyo investors in the frontier electronic currency said the problem was with Mt. Gox,
not with the revolutionary Bitcoin currency itself. Six leading Bitcoin exchanges,
including Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp distanced themselves from Mt. Gox.
"This tragic violation of the trust of users was the result of one company's actions
and does not reflect the resilience or value of Bitcoin and the digital currency
industry," they said in a joint statement.
"As with any new industry, there are certain bad actors that need to be weeded out,
and that's what we're seeing today," they added.
Mark Karpeles told Reuters news agency the bitcoin exchange was "at a turning
On Tuesday afternoon, the website said laconically: "In the event of recent news
reports and the potential repercussions on MtGox's operations and the market, a
decision was taken to close all transactions for the time being in order to protect the
site and our users. We will be closely monitoring the situation and will react
accordingly." No further content was accessible.

/ Healthy Forest Reserve Program
Loading Tree...
The HFRP will be offered in Mississippi. The federally listed threatened or endangered species targeted for habitat and population recovery activities are the gopher frog, gopher tortoise and black pine snake. Most colonies of the gopher tortoise occur east of the Pearl River and south of Jasper and Clark Counties. A few small colonies have recently been discovered in Marion and Walthall Counties on the west side of the Pearl River. The ranges of both the gopher frog and black pine snake are much more limited in total area, but are encompassed within the gopher tortoise range. These ranges are also located in the southern most section of Mississippi's significantly declining Longleaf Pine Ecosystem. Therefore, the program will be offered in 14 counties including Covington, Jones, Wayne, Marion, Lamar, Forrest, Perry, Greene, Pearl River, Stone, George, Hancock, Harrison and Jackson. The proposed area has a high percentage of private lands. Also in the area is a National Forest that has the only known red-cockaded woodpecker colony in the southern part of the state.

Election Day isn't just about the candidates; for some companies it's about marketing, and that can mean freebies and deals for consumers.
Boston Market is asking customers to cast their ballots online for either its chicken or turkey bowl entrees. Voting ends November 6th and the company promises some kind of prize on the 7th for all those who voted, no matter which entrée wins.
Jet Blue Airlines is offering a chance for a free flight out of the country if your candidate loses. Go to www.jetblueelectionprotection.com and cast your vote. 1006 losers will actually be winners, with a free flight to the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos or several other Carribean destinations.
Pet lovers can vote for either dogs or cats on Purina's Facebook page. For each vote cast they'll donate a dollar to the Pet Therapy for Veterans Charity, up to $100,000.
All three promotions are online games that don't require citizens to actually vote in the election. That's because the Federal Election Commission prohibits any type of compensation for voting. Even a Washington, DC area bar that offered free beer for those with an "I Voted" Sticker was forced to cancel the offer.
If you know about any freebies or promotions for Election Day 2012, please post them below.

I am going to watch most of it. I usually like to watch Desperate Housewives, But I can catch it "On Demand" tomorrow.
You watch Desperate Housewives?
I didn't watch it as it's always on all day after. The highlights that is. No point in watching it. I went to bed. Jennifer Hudson brought a tear to my eye. Such a sad loss and all because of drugs again no matter what they say. I feel so, so bad for her daughter.
Posted 13 February 2012 - 07:37 PM
You watch Desperate Housewives?
Oh yes I have watched it from day one. It started to get bad. I still watched. Even bad it would give me a laugh.
The stations made me angry when they put Good Wife on at the same time. So since Good Wife is one of those thinking man's shows I watch it "On Demand" on Mondays so if I miss something I can rewind.

Another note of the evening... Adele
Now that Adele is 'Rolling in the Deep' when it comes to her bank account, her ex-boyfriend is claiming that he inspired her debut album, '19,' and deserves a cut of the profits.
"For about a week he was calling and was deadly serious about it," she told The Sun. "Finally, I said, 'Well, you made my life hell, so I lived it and now I deserve it.'"


text: I had one for a season and they are fun but not exactly what I had in mind. Thus the moral to this short story. Know what you are after.. it was super fun the first season but I could only watch myself draw back a bow, shoot a gun and stealthily walk thru the woods a few times before it got old and quickly got left behind.

|New recycle bin arrives in Holyoke
|Written by Chris Lee
Residents will see a change in how they dispose of their recyclables in Holyoke and Haxtun.
A big new blue bin was dropped off Friday, Oct. 22 just west of the city offices in Holyoke. The bin is one of three shared with Haxtun.
The bins come as part of a grant facilitated through the town of Haxtun, Haxtun students and teacher Alan Nall and funded through the state of Colorado. The grant is called Recycling Resources Economic Opportunity Fund and totals $33,880.
One bin will be located in each town with the other being used when a bin needs to be emptied. U.S. Recycling in Ogallala, Neb. will empty the bins once full and will keep the extra bin on hand.
HHS students Heather Duester and Marci Vasa stand with Tammie Timm next to the
The bins will accept aluminum and tin cans, #1 and #2 plastic and paper. Items not allowed include plastic bags, Styrofoam and cardboard. The cardboard trailer that was located near the railroad tracks has been moved beside the new container at the Holyoke City Office parking lot.
HHS students Heather Duester and Marci Vasa along with Tammie Timm of Holyoke Recycles, worked with the towns of Holyoke and Haxtun, Haxtun students and teacher Alan Nall to make the project possible.
Wildhorse Machine Shop of Haxtun built the three storage containers and Legg Creations created the signage.
A second unit was dropped off near the recycling center by the railroad tracks so the building could be cleaned out and locked, according to Timm.
Anyone with questions concerning the new storage units may contact the City of Holyoke at 854-2266 or Timm at 854-2284.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of a good pro-shop around the Cody, WY area. I'm not out to denigrate any of the local shops, but I feel like there is definitely room for improvement.

Communication and speech disorders
Communication and speech are fundamental to everyday life. We build our social and occupational networks around being able to communicate with others. Many of us take this for granted, but one in seven Australians cannot, due to a communication disorder. Whether temporary or permanent, these conditions can have a devastating impact on quality of life.
Our researchers are passionate about finding the best ways to improve the outcomes of people with communication disorders. They are pioneering new models of intervention, treatment and support.

A Spanish long-distance runner showed exemplary sportsmanship last December when he helped a confused rival finish before him. Iván Fernández Anaya was in second place to Olympic bronze medalist Abel Mutai in a race in Navarre, Spain, when he noticed the Kenyan runner stop about 30 feet from the finish line. Mutai thought he had completed the race — and couldn't understand the crowd telling him to keep going in Spanish. Rather than speed past Mutai, Anaya guided him ahead to the actual finish. "I did what I had to do," he said. "He was the rightful winner."
On Monday, President Obama marked his last Memorial Day in office with a White House breakfast reception for veterans groups and families of service members killed in combat, followed by a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. At Arlington, Obama laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, commemorating the members of the U.S. military who died in service of their country.
Obama spoke of the duty the rest of the country has to care for the loved ones of fallen soldiers and veterans. "We need to be there not just when we need them, but when they need us," Obama said. He noted that 20 service members have died in combat in the past year, a reminder that the U.S. is fighting in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. You can watch Obama lay the wreath and hear the military band play the Star Spangled Banner in the video below. Peter Weber
Mass bleaching caused by global warming and El Niño has killed 35 percent the coral in the northern and central parts of Australia's Great Barrier Reef in just the past few months, scientists said Monday. The southern section of the 1,400-mile reef has seen only minor damage. Warming waters have been causing bleaching in reefs around the world for two years, but the damage in the Great Barrier Reef off Australia's east coast has occurred over just two months. Bleached coral that hasn't died can recover if the water temperature drops. You can learn more, including how the report is affecting Australian politics, in the Associated Press report below.

Mexican police rescued international soccer star Alan Pulido hours after he was kidnapped in northeast Mexico. Pulido, 25, appeared at a brief news conference on Monday and told reporters he was "very well." He had a bandage on his right hand. Pulido, a striker who has played for Mexico's national team several times, was leaving a party with his girlfriend on Saturday night in Ciudad Victoria in Tamaulipas state when their car was surrounded by several trucks. Pulido was taken away, and his girlfriend was left unharmed. You can watch Pulido's news conference below. Harold Mass
An estimated 700 Libyan migrants died last week as their boats capsized in the Mediterranean during an attempted crossing to Italy, adding to a swelling death toll of more than 8,000 migrants to Europe since 2014. In September 2015, those deaths were encapsulated in a photo of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi, a Syrian boy whose drowned body washed up on the coast of Greece.
Another such photo came out of a rescue effort off the coast of Libya on Sunday organized by a German humanitarian organization called Sea-Watch. It shows a German rescue volunteer named Martin cradling a drowned baby who appears to be sleeping.
Seeing the child's body floating in the water, "I took hold of the forearm of the baby and pulled the light body protectively into my arms at once, as if it were still alive," Martin said.

Last Week Tonight occasionally does a segment called "How Is This Still a Thing?" where a narrator pokes holes in a real thing that John Oliver and his writers think should disappear, like daylight savings and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. On Sunday night, "in the interest of innovation," Oliver posted a twist on this idea, proposing "non-things that should absolutely be thing-afied," as he explained. Some proposals, like an all-dog Blue Man Group and a universal key word to get out of awkward small-talk, are kind of silly. The search engine for parents, crying house key, and biodegradable home treadmill are all great ideas. And his biggest innovation? Well, you can decide for yourself: "Why do we not yet have bread pants — which are, of course, sweat pants made of bread?" If that sounds unsanitary, well, yes, but watch below to see if Oliver can sell you on the idea anyway. Peter Weber
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden "actually performed a public service" in exposing the agency's surveillance secrets, former Attorney General Eric Holder said in a CNN-produced podcast reported Monday.
"We can certainly argue about the way in which Snowden did what he did," Holder conceded, but maintained that Snowden made a positive move in "raising the debate that we engaged in and by the changes that we made."
That said, Holder is hardly jumping on the anti-NSA bandwagon. He argued that Snowden broke the law and "harmed American interests" by revealing classified government secrets, actions Holder suggested deserve jail time. He encouraged Snowden to return to the United States to cut a deal with the feds, something the former NSA contractor has said he is willing to do if he is guaranteed a fair trial. Still, Holder added, "I think in deciding what an appropriate sentence should be, I think a judge could take into account the usefulness of having had that national debate." Bonnie Kristian
Texas authorities have found six bodies of people killed in Memorial Day weekend flooding, and an 11-year-old boy washed away in a swollen creek is missing and presumed dead in Kansas, as heavy rains caused flash flooding around the U.S. Torrential rains in central and and southeastern Texas prompted several evacuations and rescues, along with the six confirmed deaths, and near Houston, prison officials evacuated some 2,600 inmates. Separately, Tropical Depression Bonnie has reached South Carolina and is expected to continue dousing North and South Carolina with rain and strong winds, according to the National Weather Service. You can see some of Bonnie's impact on South Carolina in the Associated Press video below. Peter Weber

Republican Brad Wenstrup, a podiatrist and U.S. Army veteran who unsuccessfully ran for Cincinnati mayor in 2009, announced today that he will challenge incumbent Jean Schmidt next year in the GOP primary to run for Ohio's 2nd Congressional District seat.
Wenstrup ran against incumbent Mayor Mark Mallory, a Democrat, two years ago. Wenstrup lost 54-46 percent, but many local Republican leaders were impressed by the showing of the first-time political candidate.
(* David Krikorian is a businessman from Madeira who twice ran unsuccessfully against incumbent Jean Schmidt to represent Ohio's 2ndCongressional District. Schmidt is suing Krikorian for defamation, after he called her a "puppet" of special interests for accepting large amounts of cash from the Turkish government. Meanwhile, the Office of Congressional Ethics is investigating Schmidt's receipt of legal assistance from a Turkish-American interest group.)
CityBeatrecently reported that an "odd coupling" of Congresswoman Jean Schmidt, a Republican, and State Rep. Dale Mallory, a Democrat, held a joint press conference publicly calling on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reverse its 2007 decision banning the pesticide Propoxur so that it can be used to combat bedbugs in apartments and homes.
If three unscientific, online polls are any indication, Ohio Gov. John Kasich probably shouldn't make plans for a second term.
The Columbus Dispatch, The Cleveland Plain Dealer and Dayton's WRGT-TV (Channel 45) have each had polls asking people to rate Kasich's performance during his first 100 days in office and the results are overwhelming and the same: Most disapprove of his performance or give him an "F."
Catherine Smith Mills, a new Republican candidate for Cincinnati City Council, is raising eyebrows with her campaigning.
Mills held a fundraiser April 8 that featured former Police Chief Thomas Streicher Jr. as the keynote speaker. In a press release touting the event, Mills is quoted as saying, "As a first time candidate, I am so lucky to have the support and mentorship of Republican leaders in Cincinnati like Tom Streicher."
A congresswoman's lawsuit against a local businessman and onetime political opponent is featured in an article today on the popular Politico website.
U.S. Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Miami Township) is suing David Krikorian, who ran as an independent against Schmidt in 2008 for Ohio's 2nd Congressional District and also unsuccessfully ran in the Democratic primary for the same seat last year. He lost that race to Surya Yalamanchili, a former contestant on a reality TV show who lost the general election to Schmidt by capturing 35 percent of the vote.
As it turns out, Tom Brinkman Jr. plans on running for statewide office. He just doesn't know which one yet.
That's the explanation being offered for Brinkman's recent claim on a mass e-mail invitation that the $50 cost to attend an anti-Obama event could be deducted from taxes as a campaign donation.
After years of dithering and months of debate, Cincinnati City Council narrowly approved a plan Wednesday to make changes to the cash-strapped pension plan for municipal workers. But a local GOP leader is confused about who voted for what.
By no measure can The Wall Street Journal be mistaken for a liberal newspaper, so the findings of its latest poll should greatly disturb Republicans.
A poll released late last week, done in conjunction with NBC News, found that most Americans support collective bargaining rights for workers, want to end the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy and impose a surtax on people making more than $1 million annually, and believe economic growth is a higher priority for government than deficit reduction.
The Hamilton County Republican Party endorsed five people Thursday night in this November's elections for Cincinnati City Council.
As expected, the GOP slate includes all three of the party's incumbents: Leslie Ghiz, Charlie Winburn and recent appointee Amy Murray. Also getting the nod were Wayne Lippert and Catherine Smith Mills.
In this week's Porkopolis column, Kevin Osborne writes about the coordinated effort by newly elected Tea Party-backed Republican governors like Wisconsin's Scott Walker and Ohio's John Kasich to use the looming budget crises as a reason take away labor unions' ability to collectively bargain, with the ultimate goal of busting unions altogether.

Quinn says even faster trains possible in Illinois
DWIGHT, Ill. (AP) -- Gov. Pat Quinn says the state's high speed rail projects could get even faster.
Quinn was there Friday when an Amtrak train reached speeds of 111 mph for the first time along a Chicago to St. Louis route. The train hit the mark on a stretch between Dwight and Pontiac before braking back to normal speeds of 79 mph. By the end of November paying passengers will get to experience the higher speeds on that initial section between Dwight and Pontiac.
Quinn says Illinois is interested in the possibility of building a separate track so trains wouldn't have to share the line with freights. That would allow for passenger trains to go faster. Quinn says achieving that along a Chicago to Detroit line is possible in "short period of time."
JOLIET, Ill. (AP) -- An Amtrak passenger train has reached a speed of 110 mph for the first time in Illinois.
The train reached the speed this morning in a modest milestone for President Barack Obama's high-speed rail vision. The five-car, two-locomotive train zipped through the central Illinois countryside, hitting its high speed between the towns of Dwight and Pontiac.
Gov. Pat Quinn and Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood were among the officials aboard who watched the speed increase on a special video monitor. The governor pumped his fist in the air and gave a thumbs-up when it reached 110 mph. Other officials cheered and clapped.
The 30-mph increase from the route's current top speed is a morale booster for advocates of high-speed rail. But some rail experts question whether the route will become profitable.

|'Top Hits' Lacks Passion of Obscure Artists
|David Lloyd
Staff Writer
I open up my iTunes (this is a daily action, music happens to be my drug), take a glance over at the "Top Songs" list, and decide to take a listen to a few. First, Adele. Not my thing, but people seem to enjoy her, so I'll take a rain check.
Next, "Gangnam Style" by PSY. What is this? Can you even understand him? Is this really music?
As I shake my head with disgust, I move down the list to Taylor Swift, whom I generally can stand. But she seemed to drop the ball on this one… "We-eeeee.. are never ever ever ever ever getting back together. Like, ever." I will never ever ever (etc) listen to this song ever again. Yes Taylor, we understand boys have done you wrong. A lot. But how about you get original and write about something, anything else?
Oh well, enough about musicians who can scratch a chalkboard, slap their name on it with some auto tune and call it a hit. Let's review some bands and artists that actually deserve some recognition. Beautiful music is music that evokes some kind of emotion within the listener, be it happiness, sadness, anger, love, whatever. Now I'm sure "Call Me Maybe" really sparked some emotion… but really.
For anyone in need of some variety for his or her music playlists, Sleeping With Sirens definitely deserves some attention. Featured in USA Today for the impressive stint on "Vans Warped Tour," and their recent acoustic release, "If You Were A Movie, This Would Be Your Soundtrack," the Michigan quintet has been working hard to earn a spot on "Ellen" as they continue touring. Rather than charter buses, bands like Sleeping With Sirens travel in vans with a small trailer behind them, cramming like sardines just to get to their next show.
Now, who would you trust more with your music? Bands and artists that travel in large, comfy, chartered buses, pampered with whatever they desire, or bands that travel in vans, earning only enough money that they need a second job outside of touring and make music because they love making it, not the spoils they receive?
Easy answer, right?
Then why do we continue to support music acts whose only claim to fame are trivial pop songs like "Call Me Maybe" and some weird dancing man yelling "Gangnam Style?" Why is Lil' Wayne even relevant anymore? Nobody knows.
For most bands, starting off in vans and suffering through "Warped Tour" won't even lead to financial or radio success, just hardships to endure while doing what they love. The Cab, who have had stints on Warped Tour as well as numerous others, have finally experienced the sweet success of radio stardom, gaining their first radio hits and supporting Maroon 5 this fall. Not that Billboard artists haven't experienced their own hardships, but how many bands release a cd, get dropped from the label, take three years to write their next cd, then make it on the radio?
This is a band that deserves to drag your attention from the Lil' Wayne's, Flo Rida's and Drake's of the industry, churning out song after song, sounding eerily similar each time. The Cab, whose last release was titled "Symphony Soldier," defined by the band as "a person engaged in the service of fighting for music they believe in," was truly a masterpiece. Not many bands can title an album so beautifully, let alone back it up.
The aim of this piece was not to bash musicians, nor attack anyone who listens to said musicians. The aim was to open eyes and minds to different genres of music, to find bands and artists that write music because they love it, not because they know they'll make money. These people deserve recognition for what they do, for living out of a suitcase and working numerous jobs to make music for their fans. This was a public service announcement; open up your musical horizons. Find something that inspires you like it inspires an artist, and support their dreams as they enable yours through their music.

New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Joe Flacco unequivocally proved he belongs
with the NFL's elite quarterbacks, while John Harbaugh showed that big
brother indeed knows best. And for Ray Lewis, it was the ultimate ending
to an absolutely illustrious career. Flacco delivered a lights-out
performance -- both literally and figuratively -- at the Mercedes-Benz
Superdome, and the Baltimore Ravens warded off a furious comeback
attempt by the San Francisco 49ers to hold on for a 34-31 victory in a
thrill-packed Super Bowl XLVII that every bit lived up to its advance
billing. Flacco threw three touchdown passes to stake his team to a 21-6
halftime lead it very nearly gave away, and finished with 287 yards and no
turnovers on a crisp 22-of-33 passing to earn Most Valuable Player honors,
a place among the sport's upper echelon at the position -- and almost
certainly a massive new contract as an impending free agent. He had help in
this one, however. Anquan Boldin hauled in one of Flacco's scoring strikes
while amassing 104 yards on six catches, with Jacoby Jones adding a Super
Bowl-record 108-yard kickoff return score of the second-half kickoff in
addition to hauling in a 56-yard touchdown pass shortly before halftime.
Baltimore's first world title since 2000 didn't come easy, though. Sparked by
a terrific second-half performance by young quarterback Colin Kaepernick
and an extended break caused by a mysterious 34-minute power outage
early in the third quarter, a valiant San Francisco squad cut a 28-6
deficit down to two after Kaepernick's 15-yard touchdown run with just under
10 minutes left to play pulled the Niners within 31-29. Inspired by both
Lewis' swan song and the game's obvious magnitude, the Baltimore
defense rose to the occasion down the stretch. The Ravens thwarted a
potential tying two-point conversion attempt following Kaepernick's touchdown,
then later came up with a pivotal late stop after San Francisco got down to
the 5-yard line in the final moments. Kaepernick overcame a slow start to
throw for 302 yards and a touchdown to Michael Crabtree while completing
16-of-28 passes with an interception. Both Crabtree and Vernon Davis eclipsed
the 100-yard receiving mark for the Niners, who outgained Baltimore by a
468-367 margin in total offense, while Frank Gore added 110 rushing yards and
a touchdown on 19 carries. Crabtree compiled 109 yards on five catches and
Davis had six grabs totaling 104 yards for San Francisco, which suffered its
first-ever Super Bowl loss and came up just short in its goal to match the
Pittsburgh Steelers for the most wins (6) in the Big Game.

Chef is sweet on chocolate
The Bridges' pastry chef gets helpful feedback from a discerning expert — his 3-year-old daughter
Chef Andrew Dover's passion for chocolate is becoming a family affair.
The pastry chef at The Bridges club in Rancho Santa Fe has begun teaching his 3-year-old daughter, Chloe, the basics of working with chocolate. She can rattle off some of the world's most revered brands — Valrhona, Cacao Barry and Callebaut.
If you ask what her favorite chocolate is, Chloe will tell you "Pink Valrhona." (Actually, Valrhona doesn't have a pink variety, but she loves that color.)
Chloe also has learned the proper way to dip strawberries and other fruits in chocolate. With her dad at her side, advising and sometimes assisting, Chloe demonstrated her technique, dipping ripe berries into dark, white and, yes, pink chocolate.
So, if a 3-year-old can do it, the rest of us should be able to master it easily, right?
Well, maybe. Chloe is a precocious little girl, after all, and she has a top-notch mentor.
Since early 2011, Dover has been part of the culinary team at The Bridges, an elite club ranked among the top 15 California golf venues by Golf Digest. In the sprawling Tuscan-style clubhouse, the cuisine gets a high priority, with 11 menus served in four dining facilities. And in the kitchen of executive chef Chris Buffin, dessert is Andrew Dover's domain.
But it's in their home kitchen, with Chloe standing on a chair beside her dad, that the chef has begun sharing his culinary knowledge with his daughter.
Dover remembers his own father, a geneticist at the University of Colorado Denver, showing him how to cook an egg when he was only about 7.
"He told me it was important to know how to cook, that it was a survival skill," says Dover. He started working at a bakery when he was 16.
"I wanted a BMX bike, and (his dad) suggested I get a job," he says.
His formal education was at the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago, an affiliate of Le Cordon Bleu. One of his early jobs was working in the test kitchens of Nestlé, where he created chocolate desserts all day long. Three of his desserts were marketed by Nestlé.
Later, while working at a Chicago restaurant, Dover began taking home different kinds of chocolate so he could analyze them under the microscope. He thought that understanding chocolate on a molecular level would give him better final results; he learned, for example, how to get more shine on a chocolate coating.
Working at The Bridges, Dover can order the best ingredients for his creations. Since it's a private club, repeat customers are a given. That only raises the bar on expectations.
"These diners have palates that are very well trained," he says.
Dover often asks Chloe and his wife, Jamie, to sample his new desserts. While his wife is appreciative, he says Chloe can be one of his toughest critics.
"You know right away whether she likes it," he says with a smile.
Nevertheless, Dover welcomes the critiques. It's clear that working with chocolate is a labor of love.
"That's my favorite part of the job — coming to work every day and playing with chocolate," he says.
With this early introduction to the culinary arts, is it possible Chloe will follow in her father's footsteps? Only time will tell.
"Right now, she's saying she's going to be a surgeon," says Dover.
Chloe's dipping method
This is how 3-year-old Chloe Dover has been taught to dip strawberries in chocolate:
Lift berry and gently shake it over the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off.
Firmly grasp strawberry by the stem or leaves.

It's an awesome feeling to be part of a horse headed to the Mile."

The New Cities Foundation joins China Redesign
- Date
- 18 May 2011
The Climate Group is proud to announce a new partnership with the New Cities Foundation, who we will be working together with to drive the Clean Revolution in China's cities, through our innovative China Redesign program.
The New Cities Foundation is a leading Swiss NGO dedicated to improving the quality of life and work in 21st-century global cities, with a particular focus on new cities in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa.
Most recently the New Cities Foundation has focused on the organization of the inaugural New Cities Summit as well as the first three Task Forces. The NGO leverages its members' expertise, relationships and solutions for a more socially, economically and environmentally sustainable urban future.
We will work with the New Cities Foundation to accelerate action on clean technology and policy in Chinese cities using our China Redesign program, which was launched in March to help Chinese cities develop and implement low carbon growth strategies and meet the greenhouse gas emissions reduction objectives of China's 12th Five Year Plan.
Mathieu Lefevre, Executive Director, New Cities Foundation says of the collaboration with The Climate Group: "The global stakes for 21st first century urbanization are staggeringly high. By the end of this century, 6 billion people are likely to live in cities worldwide. This poses tremendous challenges, most of all on the potential environmental impact cities could have on the global commons. Achieving the right mix of technology, policy, innovation and finance for cities will largely determine our shared future. Nowhere are these stakes higher than in China. This is why the New Cities Foundation is enthusiastic about its partnership with China Redesign. Our members and ourselves look forward to contributing and learning from this extremely timely initiative."

Performance Street Brake Pads
HPS - High Performance Street disc brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street legal vehicle. Increasing the performance of your vehicles braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performance's HPS braking compound. This unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports severe-duty friction technology.
The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you'll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust.
HPS Ferro-Compound Features:
- Increased stopping power
- High friction/torque hot or cold
- Gentle on rotors
- Extended pad life
- Low dust
- Virtually noise-free
All Hawk Performance High Performance Street brake pads provide a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring products to be free of defects from manufacturer's workmanship and materials.
Note: Hawk Performance burnishes its High Performance Street brake pads as a final step in the factory, but all brake pads have to be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used against. Properly bedding-in new brake pads results in a transfer film being generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.
About Hawk Parts & Accessories

chris coxby chris coxI have currently been running these pads front and rear on my 2009 370z base model for four months now. A substantial difference in stopping performance over the factory brakes. I have paired them with a full set of Stillen performance slotted rotors. Notably less brake fade in all street conditions. Top notch pads and top notch rotors. Will buy again when the time comes to do brakes. (daily driver 370z base model, spirited weekend driving, lowered, 20 inch wheels, drive roughly 15k mi per year)12/31/1969

To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume, which inevitably means one thing: portion control. But you're not necessarily doomed to a growling stomach until you reach your goal. "Portion control doesn't mean you have to eat tiny portions of everything," says Lisa Young, PhD, RD, author of The Portion Teller Plan: The No-Diet Reality Guide to Eating, Cheating, and Losing Weight Permanently. "You don't want to feel like you're on a diet, but you have to eat fewer calories."
Here are 14 easy ways to cut portions, trim calories, and lose fat without counting the minutes until your next meal.

Video: BUDDY CHECK: Doctor Rebecca Zuurbier From Sibley Hospital
BALTIMORE, Md. (WUSA) -- It strikes younger women and African-American women in greater numbers, and none of the cancer drugs currently on the market have any effect on it. Fighting Triple Negative breast cancer has been a challenge for cancer researchers, but now there may be an answer.
Evelyn David is about to celebrate another birthday, her 33rd. It's a second chance for Evelyn who was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer in 2009.
"I couldn't breathe when she told me I have breast cancer," said Evelyn.
Evelyn was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. Triple negative is one of the most difficult strains of breast cancer to treat. It accounts for 15-20% of all breast cancers and is more common in African-American women and young women.
"Triple negative means it's negative or doesn't express 3-things we look for in breast cancer: estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and HER-2," said Dr. Kevin Cullen, Director at the University of Maryland Greenebaum Cancer Center.
Dr. Cullen adds, "Several of those critical drugs including aromatase inhibitors, which was discovered here at the University of Maryland that we have--only work if those factors, those receptors are present on the tumor cells."
Since Evelyn couldn't use any of those critical drugs, her only drug treatment option for her triple negative cancer was chemotherapy.
But in a new clinical trial, researchers at the Greenebaum Center are looking at whether an experimental drug, Etinostate, can help reprogram triple negative tumors to respond to aromatase inhibitors.
Newly diagnosed triple negative patients will receive Entinostat and the aromatase inhibitor Arimidex, once daily for 2-4 weeks before surgery. The tumor will then be analyzed to see if it has shrunk or stopped growing.
Angela Brodie, PH.D who developed aromatase inhibitors, says early trial results are better than expected.
"In other words we converted the hormone resistant tumors into hormone responsive tumors," explains Angela Brodie, Ph.D
"We believe this is a potentially dramatic improvement for women who are facing this very difficult disease," says Dr. Cullen
Researchers hope to register 41 patients at 20-sites including the University of Maryland's Greenebaum Center. And they're especially urging black women to enroll in this trial.

I am thinking about installing Zimbra, but I am unsure about versions. ZCS 3.0 is scheduled to be released in a month or two. Normally I would just install the present stable release, and upgrade as things are released. But this concerned me on the download page:
So, if I install the present release, will I have problems upgrading (losing data) when the time comes?Warning: If you are already running Zimbra's Milestone 1 (M1) beta release, To install M2 you will need to uninstall M1 first, which means a loss of data (messages, appointments, and contacts).
A similar question applies to Fedora core 4--it is in beta now. Is there a targeted release date ? (I know that really *should* go in anther thread!)
Many thanks

Men in Black III (2012)
Men in Black III SynopsisIn Men in Black 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.

Location Scout Shares Shocking Truth About Chinatown Movie Trope
When filmmakers shoot on location in New York they often feel they have the world at their fingertips, spoiled for choice when it comes to visually striking locations to set scenes. And while the city's five boroughs offer plenty of incredible backdrops, gorgeous landmarks, and charming parks to pick from, it does lack one thing many movie lovers would take for granted. You see, New York City doesn't offer a single Chinese restaurant like the ones you've seen in NY-set movies.

Watch Men In Black III Director Barry Sonnenfeld Talk About How He Was Influenced By Back To The Future
Time travel is a popular device in science-fiction, but its also a very tricky one to portray correctly. With so much science and so many rules at play, including Chaos Theory and parallel universes, its a hard concept to get your mind around. So when director Barry Sonnenfeld was making Men in Black III there was only one real place for him to look: Back To The Future.

What Is Will Smith's Best Performance?
No one can deny Smith is a movie star. But is he a great actor? He's starred in a lot of movies that would have crashed and burned without his charisma, but how do you pick which one of them makes a great performance, and which was his best? We debated this amongst ourselves and each of us found a performance we wanted to defend as his best

Alice Eve Cast In Men In Black III
Considering that they've yet to film any of the 1969 sequences it's understandable that they would wait this long to cast the part, but I can't shake the feeling that the whole thing is incredibly disorganized.

Press Release 13-068 NSF Webcast for Earth Day: An EKG for the Earth With NEON
Reporters are invited to a live webcast on April 18 at 3:00 p.m. EDT about the National Ecological Observatory Network, which will help revolutionize environmental research and education
NEON will be a revolutionary nationwide ecological sensing instrument.
Credit and Larger Version
April 16, 2013
Earth Day invariably begs the question: What is the current and future state of our Earth's ecology?
Answers to this question have traditionally been woefully inadequate because scientists have lacked a mechanism to systematically measure the long-term health of large ecosystems. But that is now changing as a new, precedent-setting, nationwide, multidisciplinary infrastructure--the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)--is starting to go online across the U.S.
NEON will be to ecological health what an EKG is to heart health. Like an EKG generates snapshots of heart health by measuring heart activity at strategic locations on a patient's body, NEON will generate snapshots of ecosystem health by measuring ecological activity at strategic locations throughout the U.S. Resulting ecological data will enable scientists to generate the first apples-to-apples comparisons of ecosystem health throughout large regions of the U.S. and the entire country over multiple decades.
Some of NEON's data collection and educational operations have already begun, and others will begin incrementally until NEON becomes fully functional in 2017. All of NEON's data, synthesized data products and associated educational materials will be made freely available on the Internet. These materials will thereby provide grist for groundbreaking analyses and educational activities by researchers, students, decision-makers, educators and the public.
NEON's recent accomplishments include an ongoing, precedent-setting study, conducted with Colorado State University, of the ecological impacts of the huge High Park Wildfire of Colorado in 2012. In addition, NEON's Project BudBurst--a nationwide citizen science group--has, since 2010, been collecting information on plants that may help scientists identify some impacts of climate change.
Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), NEON will be fully operational for some 30 years. More information about NEON is provided in the short video attached to this release.
What: Participate in a webcast on NEON to learn more about what NEON is, how it has already advanced ecological research and educations, and the locations of its geographically dispersed components.
Also learn about:
When: The webcast will be held on April 18, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. EDT, and will be archived on NSF's website.
Who: Questions will be answered during the webcast by:
How: Reporters may participate via teleconference or Internet. Contact Lily Whiteman at email@example.com for required passcodes.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering. In fiscal year (FY) 2016, its budget is $7.5 billion. NSF funds reach all 50 states through grants to nearly 2,000 colleges, universities and other institutions. Each year, NSF receives more than 48,000 competitive proposals for funding and makes about 12,000 new funding awards. NSF also awards about $626 million in professional and service contracts yearly.
