Lowell's been struggling to get a handle on labelling the different political factions that grace our home town. The challenge is made more difficult by so many pols that straddle the lines between disparate special interests. Such an awkward balancing act is the plague of local pols, as everyone is close to them to some degree. Those that do it well, go far. For example, former State Senator Stephen Panagiotakos has a broad swath of Lowell's political scene covered. His 'counsel' is taken/received from very opposite ends of Lowell's political spectrum. This sort of political capital is hard to come by.
So, earlier today, I was chatting local politics with one of my favourite grassroots activists. He remarked how I seemed to be enjoying myself, here. We talked about the different factions in Lowell and some of the personalities that are prominent in each. When I prodded about a faction that ran closer to the "Nangle brand," he quipped, "They will never have a chance with the Left in Lowell crowd."
Greg Page coined the phrase, Home Run Derby.
After a recent Council meeting in which there were a series of emotional speeches preceding what would clearly be a 9-0 vote, I was searching for a term for these sorts of things, and settled on "Home Run Derby." Why?
Because everyone can get up, take their cuts for the fence in Barry Bonds-ahead-of-the-count-and-nothing-to-lose fashion, while the pitches are coming in straight to the wheelhouse and no one is playing defense.
Last night's City Council meeting met the criteria for a 'Home Run Derby' and then some. Unfortunately, we need a new phrase for the 'and then some.' What do we call it, or should call it, when a Councilor jumps in front of a moving band wagon, in the hopes of taking credit for the soon to come achievement.
Let's focus, now, because this is EXACTLY what C.Kennedy is doing with the motion he directed at the License Commission. (more…)
After the 2012 election, it didn't take long for me to brag about how we routed Scott Brown: Groundgame (h/t Andrew Howe & Ariela Gragg, et al)
This map is a screen grab from The Boston Globe:
Excuse me, … I can't stop chuckling. *deep breath* Anyways, let's look at what happened in Lowell. (more…)
Obviously, the GLTHS's Supt. Santoro wants to go out in a hail of rhetorical barbs:
To imply that I somehow want to influence this hire is not only ludicrous but reflects the level of paranoia and need for control on the part of those who have been critical of this administration (me, in particular) and is a clear indication of the lack of understanding for how the process works as well as the importance of maximizing the potential for the BEST person we can get by staying competitive with other districts.
I'd like to thank the Supt for her service. Wishing her the warmest Arrivederci. Also, maybe a suggestion that she doesn't embarrass those that have had her back, all this time, by being 'untoward.'
That said, let's not lose perspective on the whole, who hires during a transition period? We've been down this road before.
"You've got to check the travel records. I've come back and forth (from Washington to Boston) every weekend, almost, for three years, and I see, you know, most of the delegation, and I have never seen Ed on the airplane - ever," Brown added.
Ever the ready echo, David Nangle ensured that if anything crossed his lips to a reporter, at Lowell's Democratic Caucus, it would be negative.
Democratic Lowell state Rep. David Nangle agreed. Nangle, who supports Lynch, said one of the South Boston candidate's strengths in the Merrimack Valley is his blue-collar roots.
"He's so well known in his home community because he's always there," said Nangle.
Click the link I provided, please. Read the quotes our very own Paul Sweeney provided. He gives us some hearfelt testimony on why he supports Markey. I know it's heartfelt because Paul has said very similar things to me, directly, since Markey's interest in the vacated seat became public. Paul's support contrasts starkly against the manufactured smear campaign that Scott Brown's flacks jotted on a yellow sticky for their patron. Now, Steve Lynch's 'man-about-town,' Dave Nangle, is regurgitating that smear.
The Lynch folks better put Tipa Golden up front, in Lowell, before Nangle screws it up even more.
I took some phone video (as best I could) of Ed Markey tonight, who was in Lowell. I didn't catch the very beginning but got most of it. Posting it as is (I haven't checked it for audio levels and such). So if you missed Ed Markey tonight you can listen to his speech. It was very well received by the crowd tonight at The Old Court.
"Be careful," she said smugly, as she sauntered off.
This is a true story. The names are witheld, because it is a learning moment.
Tonight, a buddy of mine scored some tix to the UML v. UMASS hockey game. Good seats, center ice with access to the Pavilion. When we got to the Tsongas, my crew breezed into the blue collar swank of Martyville. It stank of Old Spice and the ladies had their second generation Acre Doos neatly sprayed in place. I have no sales pitch. I ain't running for anything, so I broke from my gaggle and beelined out the other side. My seat was in the middle of a row, so I plopped in an open end seat and enjoyed the First Period.
With 3 minutes left, the Riverhawks were floundering on the Power Play, so I headed to the can and back to the Pavilion. I may dub it the Hawk Nest. That may never catch on, but you'd be surprised how some of my blog speak has stuck in the Bubble vernacular. I buy myself and the guy that got me in, each a Winter Lager, then got my chat on. Yada Yada … The Lowell Memorial Auditorium … Board of Trustees … Mike Dinneen .. it's all good. What's up for the City election? Yada Yada.
There is a table eye balling me. Whatevs. They looked like Brahmin from The Belvidere.
I see one of the City Councilors, then two. One Councilor has the sweetest lady of a wife. So, I stood nearby to offer a quick peck on the cheek and a friendly, "Hello." She is the best. The circle sort of closed in and I stuck around to chat about the upgrades to the joint. How I had seen the Talking Heads in the Tully Forum. Yada Yada. Pleasant stuff. No politics, that I could discern. Councilors deserve some down time. My crew had headed to their seats.
It was literally, just at about the moment when I was about to make a break for it, offer a jovial, "I'll let you enjoy the rest of the game … ," when some strange woman approached me. I got some odd introductory, Belvidere version of Travis Bickle. I was confused, by this. But, then the City Councilors started to say say,"Hi" to this woman. I figured out what I had on my hands.
Let me say this, I respect that she had enough clan loyalty to approach me and make an effort to put me back on my heels. At this point, the Councilors were peeling away. I don't blame them. These things are sticky. So, it's me and her. It was civil. At first, I was very subdued. I took the lashing. Mostly because I don't know how much she actually knows and how much she has been told by others. However, she opted to over emphasize her point and I was more firm. Public people on the public payroll are fair game. Period.
"You don't know my family," was a common utterance for the several minutes we mingled. As I think about it here, in the quite of the lamplight, I know she is correct. All of what I know is third party. Some is gossip, but more is printed in the Blog of Record. My tendency is to print the stuff that is verifiable. But, I'll admit that the gossip colors my perspective, especially, gossip from several credible sources.
The whole episode took minutes. And, as it occured, I was shrunken a bit by the cockiness of a woman that doesn't weigh a 140lbs, dripping wet. For some reason, maybe because I am aware of my physical size and bearing, I normally shrink when small people get pissy with me. I was genuinely feeling her disgust for me. I was trying to process it. That anger. That violation. That trespass. This was a woman that I would certainly dowse via Fire Marshall approved methods, should I notice any flames emanating from her proximity. She stood her ground. She squared off. I do respect that.
"Be careful," she said smugly, as she sauntered off.
That bit was sketchy and I bristled. By now, I was an island. My crew was watching the game, 400 feet away. The Councilors had hightailed the scene of the crash and I knew it would have been imposing to cozy up to them, looking for affirmation. I was an island, floating in a sea of Old Spice & hair spray vapors. I was, in that moment, the proverbial 'Leper,' Paul Belley had warned me about. That moment sucked.
"Be careful," she said smugly, as she sauntered off.
I sauntered off, through the guarded entry, into the crowd of common folks, enthralled by the spirit of sport. Game on!
So, the chatty Councilors are miffed!
… Murphy didn't stop there. "I think the last council was a lot more productive," he said, adding that the current council is "more chatty" with longer meetings, but that it "hasn't been as productive as it can be."
Ouch! Veteran councilor and former mayor, Rita Mercier, and councilors Rodney Elliott, Marty Lorrey and Ed Kennedy all took offense at Murphy's remarks.
Tuesday afternoon, The Column Blog picked up some political intelligence indicated those councilors who aren't so mature might fire back at the mayor, who became the city's youngest-ever mayor at age 29 in 2012, during Tuesday's City Council meeting.
One councilor even said: "There is going to be a war."
Issues that are expected to blow up on the City Council floor often fizzle, and get settled in the cloak room. This one, however, sounds like it could have legs.
This reminded me of George Anthes talking at C. Kennedy & C. Leahy on City Life, yesterday. Anthes was fluffing the idea of voting Mayor Murphy off the Chair. Could it be done? Is the sentiment on the Council strong enough? .. Yada Yada
Tonight, I would expect several Councilors to grouse about Muphy's candidness. Not unlike they did back, last October.
But, if they decide to ratchet it up a notch, and try to vote Murphy out? I can't help. but think, that would be a big mistake. See, there is no good reason to remove Murphy. He is legitimate in his criticisms of the Council. Just because The Blog of Record can't manage a fair representation of this Council, does not make Murphy wrong. Diplomatic? Murphy is not. Well founded? I'd say, SPOT ON.
So, should the Council err and unseat Murphy, let me tell you how it will go. First, we will replay the whole "Strangle Him In The Crib" routine. Except this time, the hit will not be on a Republican. It will be old school Dems sniping the young upstart Murphy. Don't tell me that Dave Nangle isn't sweating Murphy finding new digs in the 17th Middlesex. Further, don't tell me that C. Kennedy wouldn't stoop so low as to move against Murphy in the Chamber. Kennedy would have 2 votes, behind him. Could he beg Lorrey and Leahy over to the "Dark Side?" Ponder that? Could the dominoes fall?
Such a move would clearly be a political move, motivated towards stunting Murphy's much speculated "ambition."
And, such a move would backfire.
In the 2012 November election, Lowell had the largest voter turnout in modern history. Making Mayor Patrick Murphy a martyr would create some "fireworks" alright. But, bet this, the ones playing with fire will get burned.
They are praying Scott Brown stays out of this Senate Special Election.
Frankly, it is HARD to cross party lines. No one on either side really quite trusts you. Of course, on the local level, both Rita and Dave have solid support. Mostly, because they are fairly down to earth people, that are willing to ply their skill at the 'grip and grin' at street level. Both are unpretentious and folksy. Almost adorable in quirky ways. (Unless you rub them the wrong way.) But, political sophistication is not their calling card. So, in the 2012 General Election, their individual choice to support Republican Scott Brown has assuredly caused them grief in ways that they had not accounted for. Note: Brown did well in the Belvidere section of Lowell. So, niether Rita or Nangle have much to sweat over, come their own respective reelections. That said, Rita will take it hard if she doesn't finish 1st.
For both of them, the best thing that Scott Brown can do for them, … is to sit this special election cycle out. Good news for them is, it's looking like he may:
With time running short, Washington Republicans have begun a "full court press'' to persuade an increasingly reluctant Scott Brown to run in the special election to replace John F. Kerry, say two leading Massachusetts GOP figures.
The eleventh-hour effort, coordinated by the National Republican Senatorial Committee, comes as those familiar with Brown's deliberations are becoming convinced that he will not run and instead will look for a job in the private sector.
Please consider how much of a pickle, especially Dave Nangle, is in right now. The MADems would be hard pressed to sweep another endorsement of Brown under the rug. For Rita, much less so, but Nangle put his personal friendship to Brown as the hallmark to his endorsement. Even though many in Dave Nangle's crew are inclined to support Congressman Stephen Lynch, with every fiber of their 'Blue Dog' beings, Nangle can not simply annul his endorsement of Brown out of political convenience. Friendship has to MEAN something. Nangle's entire political existence is, all but, built on personal fidelity.
If Scott Brown bails, this will allow Nangle, and Rita, to slip back into the fold. There will be some ribbing, but pols love to win elections. As do the staff that support them. Few will argue that Mercier and Nangle don't offer some electoral boost. If not city-wide, definitely in The Belvidere.
UPDATE: Brown won't run, for now.
"… I was not at all certain that a third Senate campaign in less than four years, and the prospect of returning to a Congress even more partisan than the one I left, was really the best way for me to continue in public service at this time. And I know it's not the only way for me to advance the ideals and causes that matter most to me.
"That is why I am announcing today that I will not be a candidate for the United States Senate in the upcoming special election."

George Washington Nips UMass Baseball, 5-4 In Series Finale
April 20, 2014
ARLINGTON, Va. - UMass baseball took a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the ninth, but four walks and two hits helped George Washington past the Minutemen, 5-4 in Sunday's series finale at Barcroft Park. Following the setback, UMass falls to 8-22 overall, 6-9 in the Atlantic 10, while the Colonials improve to 13-23 overall and 6-9 in conference action.
George Washington plated the first runs of the day with two down in the bottom of the second. With Bobby Campbell on via a hit by pitch, Ryan Xepoleas launched a two-run home run off the scoreboard in right center.
UMass responded by tying the score in its next turn at bat. Seniors Nick Sanford and Nik Campero opened up the frame with a pair of singles. After senior Dylan Begin advanced the runners with a sacrifice bunt, a groundout by sophomore Brandon Walsh and a single by Adam Picard brought in the runs.
The Minutemen then pulled in front with a run in the top of the fifth. Sophomore Vinny Scifo led off with an infield single, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt and came home on a double to right center by Sanford.
In the sixth, UMass increased its lead to 4-2. Walsh singled up the middle and Picard singled to left to begin the inning. With one out, junior Paul Yanakopulos drove in Walsh with a single up the middle.
However, The Colonials rallied for three runs with four walks and a pair of a singles to walk off with the victory in the bottom of the ninth. Gabe Scott drew a bases loaded walk that forced in Andrew Selby for GW's first of the frame. Campbell then singled to left to send home Eli Kashi and an infield single with the bases loaded allowed Colin Gibbons-Fly to score the winning run.
Walsh took the loss (2-3) for UMass as he worked 2.1 innings of relief and allowed three runs on three hits with four walks and two strikeouts. Eddie Muhl tossed 3.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen for George Washington and collected the win (2-0), letting up two hits with one walk and one strikeout.
Nine of 10 Minutemen who made an appearance at the plate had at least one hit on the afternoon as the squad combined for 13 in the contest. Sanford led the way with a 3-for-4 day with a double and RBI and a run scored. Walsh and Picard both hit 2-for-4 with an RBI, while Walsh scored once, as well.
For the Colonials, Campbell (2-for-4) and Xepoleas (2-for-3) had four of the team's seven hits and each scored once. Campbell drove in a run, as well, while Xepoleas logged two RBI.
UMass returns to action tomorrow, April 21, as the squad will face Harvard for the 2014 Beanpot Championship at Northeastern's Parsons Field. Game time will be approximately 45 minutes following the conclusion of the Boston College vs. Northeastern consolation game, which will begin at 11:30 a.m.

Optimistic or Pessimistic – U.S. CFO Survey
FastCompany.com today published a detailed, interactive graphic based on data from a GE survey of U.S. CFOs. The graphic was create by Lisa Strausfeld and Pentagram.
GE has just published its latest interactive infographic, which presents the results of a massive survey asking 530 CFOs how confident they were in the present economic recovery. Since it's gauging the subjective viewpoints of these CFOs, you get a little bit of insight into to how they feel — and how collective emotions help shape our economy.
While exploring the graphic I was surprised by the level of detail the designer achieved through drill-downs into the data categories. I particularly liked the view by industry selector at the top which updates the data visualization instantly. Like anything useful, it took me a few clicks to learn the mechanics of interface. But I'm of the opinion that a user interface does not need to be dumbed down until a monkey could use it. If the information you're presenting has value, it's fair to expect some learning on the part of the user.
This is a great graphic for information design geeks and economic news junkies alike.

Flightless Bird devises a plan.
Tuesday, April 12, 2011
I have tried many attempts at life change. Maybe I should say I have thought about many attempts at life change, trying occasionally in intervals of short endurance after a burst of inspiration.
What works? Going to the gym and exericse works, daily accountability and tracking works, eating right works.
Why do I falter?
Stress: Write it down, break it down, categorize everything I need to do and know. I GOT THIS.
No Support: All I can do is fake it. Support myself and do everything I can to build, develop and utilize what is available to make the dead of the night in the scream of my soul, less.
Overwhelmed by desires/commitments/life/work: Write it down, break it down, categorize everything and make the hard choices in choosing relaxation, commitments, or creativity.
No Time: With writing everything down and acting in my free time, I should be able to make use of each moment so that I can do more. I know if I organize myself, I will never live a 1000 lives but I can do more than if I lay depressed staring into the idiot box.
1. Each day I am going to track my food on sparkpeople. I am also going to note the weight watcher points I ate.
2. Each day I am going to take supplements and vitamins
3. Each day I am going to take DE.
4. Each day I am going to increase and work on my water intake.
5. Each day I am going to eat salads and a spinach smoothie.
6. Each day I am going to focus on breathing and yoga - nothing crazy just small amounts of body awareness and becoming aware.
7. Each day I am going to spin bike a few mins a day.
8. Each day I am going to dance/run/play a few mins a day.
9. Each day I am going to focus on visualizations, mental and spiritual awareness. I will visualize the sky. Soaring into the purple sky, feeling the breeze surround me - holding me, caressing me. I am flying.
10. Each day I am going to write a story or part of one/ story construction.
11. Each day I am going to honor my muse. When my muse speaks, I will record, reflect and use it.
12. Each day I will email Amy and my mother my accountability email.
13. Each day I will read at least one thing that inspires me to stay on track.
14. Each week, I will attend a weight watchers meeting.
15. Each week, I will post a status blog of the week's progress.
16. Each week, I will go to the gym at least once to work on muscle growth for my wings.
I am not a flightless bird.
My inability to fly is my acceptance of a long-made and stubborn choice backed up by daily acceptance. My inability to fly is a dis-ease of my body.
Nothing can stop my soul and I am ready to fly among the whispers of truth, color, and music.

Safety and Security Equipment Indonesia (2008)
In 2007, Indonesia's gross domestic product (GDP) expanded at 6.3%, the fastest pace since the 1998 fiscal crisis. A slowdown in the global economy is expected to cause Indonesia's real GDP growth to slow slightly in 2008, to 6.1%. In 2009, the Indonesian economy is expected to decelerate further to 5.7%. In general, Indonesia's security situation has improved, with no terrorist bombings in the country in 2006 and 2007. Although terrorist cells continue to operate, the government has made vigorous and effective efforts to eliminate them.
The market demand for the safety and security industry in Indonesia remains strong with the increased levels of perceived insecurity by the population and the priority of improving commercial and public safety. Demand for security and safety equipment in industrial plants, commercial buildings, public facilities, oil/gas fields and mining operations, airports and seaports has increased substantially.
For a complete report on security and safety equipment Indonesia please go to the U.S. Government Export Portal, free to registered users. Just login and read it!

Sally Majestic displayed a splendid showcase at Phil's Radiator, on Feb. 21. They were the headlining act, Gozer and Death By Cemetery were the openers and Burns Like Hell was the direct support.
Ben Napier is the guitarist, Paul Fry is the bassist and vocalist, Tim Cowdin is the drummer, and Scott Vernon is the guitarist and vocalist of Sally Majestic.
Vernon was accompanied by Cowdin, as Sally Majestic began their concert with "Scottalicious". Shortly after, they were joined by Fry and Napier. The instrumental was accompanied by three lyrics, every so often. Fry and Vernon provided them, as they sang into the microphone. Napier sang aloud, without a microphone in front of him. As Vernon jumped up and down on the stage, his unstable microphone stand fell to the ground and was erected again by a spectator.
Prior to performing "Wait"—Fry gave a fist bump to an onlooker, thanked the audience for attending and he introduced the song. As the song was performed, he sang along with Vernon. As Sally Majestic performed, an audience member in the front row danced to the close to the stage and accidentally knocked over Fry's microphone stand. After the song came to an end, Vernon joked about both incidences and stated they were breaking some of their equipment.
As "Take Another Hit" was about to get underway, Vernon stated it was great to be back in Colo. He went onto say he remembered the writing process of the song and how he could imagine himself in the mountains. He continued by saying the song was about one of his "favorite past times". Shortly after saying so, the crowd laughed with him. After the laughter subsided, he provided the lyrics.
Before Sally Majestic ended the performance by covering Young MC's "Bust A Move", Fry thanked the bands whom were on the bill with them and the venue. Vernon said he wanted to attempt the song, after he rested his guitar next to his monitor. As his band mates provided an instrumental, he provided the lyrics. An audience member near the back of the stage rapped along with him word-for-word. As the chorus came around, Napier assisted by playing it and was later accompanied by Fry.
The Flaming Lips "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots", "The Juice", "Monkey with a Halo", "Boulder", "Donut Shop on Mars" and "Bobo" were also part of Sally Majestic's set.

Editor's Note: The following first appeared in the University of Iowa's Hawk Talk Daily, an e-newsletter that offers a daily look at the Iowa Hawkeyes, delivered free each morning to thousands of fans of the Hawkeyes worldwide.
CHICAGO -- The topic of conversation at Big Ten Football Media Days was logically football, football, and more football.
Answering questions and signing autographs on behalf of the University of Iowa program were senior student-athletes Christian Kirksey, James Morris, and Brett Van Sloten. All three took turns talking football, but they also scored a game-winner for academia.
Kirksey and Morris are fourth-year seniors and both are taking six hours of classes this summer. Kirksey is enrolled in elementary statistics and media & society; Morris is taking a class in bio-statistics and doing an honors research project for the political science department.
So while a majority of the other 33 Big Ten Conference football athletes were spending three days enjoying free time and seeing the sites of Chicago, Kirksey and Morris were hitting the books.
When the trio left Iowa City on Tuesday, driving chores were assigned to Van Sloten, who refers to himself as a "super senior" since he used a redshirt in 2009 and had an extra year to complete course load for his degree.
"They both mentioned that they had homework to do and I asked if they had a light because we were driving at night," Van Sloten said. "Chris knocked out a paper in the back seat, and they were studying (Wednesday), too. That shows that there is a student-athlete portion to it and it's a credit to them to focus on school even when they are on a trip like this."
There has been no time for Kirksey to relax in the classroom. During the summer he has taken three tests and written three papers. He emailed a completed paper to his professor Tuesday, a night before beginning a two-day run of more than three hours of interviews and two hours of signing autographs and posing for photographs. In the fall Kirksey will enroll in six more hours.
"I'm up for the challenge, this is what it's supposed to be: I'm a student-athlete," Kirksey said. "This is what I'm here for, so you have to learn to adjust and balance things."
"If you're a student-athlete, there are three parts of your life: school, football, and fun. But you can only have two. What is fun for you becomes different. You set goals, and it's more fun to achieve a goal than it is to pursue whatever it is college students pursue every night."
James Morris
UI middle linebacker
Morris and Van Sloten were among 15 Hawkeyes named to the 2012 Big Ten Fall Academic All-Conference team. Morris also received a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award. In April, he was recognized with the Third House Scholar Award for 2013-14 by the UI Department of Political Science.
"If you're a student-athlete, there are three parts of your life: school, football, and fun," Morris said. "But you can only have two. What is fun for you becomes different. You set goals, and it's more fun to achieve a goal than it is to pursue whatever it is college students pursue every night."
Morris is also chasing a degree in pre-law. Instead of taking fewer classes during the 2013 season, he will tackle 15 hours in the fall and seven more in the winter before graduating with a bachelor of science degree.
"I don't know about other places, but I know at Iowa nobody is writing papers for you, nobody is taking tests for you," Morris said. "Our guys are graduating, and they're getting degrees."
Since Kirk Ferentz took over as head coach of the UI in 1999, 38 Hawkeye football student-athletes named to a district or national Academic All-America team, including Morris in 2012.
"We're proud of that," Ferentz said. "The lasting, significant accomplishment a player is going to achieve in college is getting their degree. It's great to win the Doak Walker and the Outland and all that stuff, but football is going to end at some point and that degree is going to be there for a lifetime."
Van Sloten will earn his diploma in business management.
From all accounts, he is a pretty decent chauffeur, too.
Single-game tickets for all seven Hawkeye home contests inside Kinnick Stadium are available on hawkeyesports.com. Iowa opens the season Aug. 31, hosting Northern Illinois at 2:30 p.m. (CT).

Backstage news & notes from Raw in Brooklyn…
– We're told there were several re-writes for this week's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, which was the reason for some segments lacking flow. As previously noted, the main objective of the show was to setup the following for SummerSlam – Big E Langston vs. Dolph Ziggler, Brock Lesnar vs. CM Punk and John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan. The company feels they accomplished this goal by beginning the framework for all three (despite actually starting on Punk/Lesnar a couple weeks ago).
– The Raw Active poll with The Usos was done to gauge if the fans "buy" the team as a viable threat. WWE got the answer they were looking for in the vote.
– Both Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho were given high marks for their match on WWE Raw. We're told Vince McMahon has always liked RVD and was "eating that Van Dam flavored ice cream" afterwards. The match was also done to give Jericho a chance to work RVD before he left and a subtle shot at TNA Wrestling, who thought RVD has "lost it."
– No challenger has been determined for Alberto Del Rio and the World Heavyweight Championship for SummerSlam as of this writing. There's a chance they go with RVD as his name was brought up after Raw.
– The original plan was to blowoff Mark Henry/John Cena on Raw, however, the company knew the "cat was out of the bag" regarding Daniel Bryan, so they decided to go with it. This still doesn't mean they won't blow off Henry/Cena next week but it was on the original script.
– We're told Daniel Bryan's t-shirt was the most sold merchandise item last week and that was further evidence to WWE officials the time for a top push was now. The backstage segment with Triple H suggesting Cena was going to pick Bryan and that Vince McMahon was going to "lose it" was a rib at Vince. We're told by sources close to McMahon that he realizes he was wrong about Bryan.
– Believe it or not, CM Punk is going out of his way to develop a relationship with Brock Lesnar. Punk wants to get the best out of Brock for their program and wants both the build and actual in-ring work to be great. While Brock typically walks in and asks what they want him to do and does it, Punk has been going to him and discussing the program. This was evident with the segment on this week's Raw and many felt it had a "big fight feel," which is exactly what they want.

May Edition
Thanks to the support of loyal donors like you, we've been very busy this month protecting cats around the country. Here are just a few of our current projects and successes:
Since tornadoes devastated Alabama several weeks ago and left thousands of people and animals homeless, we've been coordinating assistance for residents struggling to care for their cats. Alley Cat Allies has donated traps and cat food, and our focus now is on finding barn homes and other safe relocation sites for a number of feral cats. Do you have a suitable location that some of these cats can call home? Volunteers with feral cat experience are also urgently needed to house the cats until relocation sites are found.
Read our press release to find out how you can donate supplies.
To volunteer to house feral cats, or to provide barn homes to displaced cats, contact Alley Cat Allies National Cat Help Desk Specialist Laura Ramos 1-866-271-5534 or firstname.lastname@example.com immediately.
This friendly orange feline gets his name from his funky tail, which arches up over his back, but it could just as well come from his habit of curling up next to you while you use the computer. Curly is around seven years old and enjoys attention from people of all ages. When he's not sitting in a window catching some rays, he is a loving lap cat with a fondness for chasing feathers. Can Curly curl up next to you? Read more about Curly.
Since April, Alley Cat Allies has been active in the city of Monessen, Pennsylvania, protesting a trap and kill policy which has already killed more than 30 cats. In addition to reaching out to city officials to educate them about humane solutions, we called on citizens to speak up through our action center and held a rally on site in Monessen to protest this deadly law. Alley Cat Allies continues to work with community leaders and local organizations in Monessen to ensure a humane outcome for the cats! Read the press release.
October 16, 2011 is all about Compassion for Cats: Coast to Coast! This National Feral Cat Day, we're asking you—and everyone who is part of this tremendous grassroots movement—to reach out in your community and highlight the importance of humane approaches for cats. Last year we had about 170 events in 36 states, and our goal this year is 250 in all 50! Start planning now to be part of the biggest NFCD yet. Find out how you can be part of National Feral Cat Day 2011.

Baby boomers who spent nearly two decades taking care of their children could spend another 20 years caring for their parents, CNN reports.
According to the network, some 10,000 boomers turn 65 every day, and many are among the 43.5 million Americans who provide care for an adult older than 50.
"Now that more baby boomers are aging, the issue of family caregiving is becoming much more commonplace," AARP senior policy adviser Lynn Feinberg tells CNN. "We call it the 'new normal.' "
Former Good Morning America host Joan Lunden is one of those adult caregivers, helping her 88-year-old mother, who suffers from dementia, according to the network.
"Nobody wants to talk about their mortality or think about themselves getting old," Lunden, who wrote a caregiving-themed Chicken Soup for the Soul book, tells CNN. "There's the thought that you go straight to the nursing home to die and that's not the case."
Do you care for an aging adult? Tell us about it in Comments, below.

Paul Goodman Movies and Career Information
Sep 09, 1911
Greenwich Village
Actor, Director, Producer and Writer
Sep 09, 1911
Greenwich Village
Actor, Director, Producer and Writer
Paul Goodman was an American novelist, playwright, poet and psychotherapist, although now best known as a social critic, anarchist philosopher, and public intellectual. Though often thought of as a sociologist, he vehemently denied being one in a presentation in the Experimental College at San Francisco State in 1964, and in fact said he could not read sociology because it was too often lifeless. The author of dozens of books including Growing Up Absurd and The Community of Scholars, Goodman was an activist on the pacifist Left in the 1960s and a frequently cited inspiration to the student movement of that decade. A lay therapist for a number of years, he was a co-founder of Gestalt Therapy in the 1940s and '50s.

How much TV is too much? Every family has a different idea. Most agree, though, that healthy child development requires lots of other activities like running, jumping, reading, drawing, dancing and letting the imagination run absolutely wild.
The average American child today spends more time per week with media or entertainment than in school or with their parents. That's why FIRST 5 celebrates parents who "Control Your Remote". We offer 101 screen-free activities your kids can do instead and a parent/child screen-time contract so you can set concrete limits with your child. Post it on your fridge and point to anytime your child asks for just one more TV show.
Downloadable Documents:
Research tells us that too much TV results in obesity; inadequate brain development; out-of-control behavior; short attention span; and, when children get older, low grades and a tendency to misuse alcohol and drugs. Our goal is to make sure that fewer local children suffer these consequences.

The circus is in town! Marylanders prepare yourselves! Perhaps it's more appropriate to label CPAC2013 as the Conservative Def Jam Comedy Show. Russell Simmons hosted DJC to introduce emerging African-American comedians to the public and CPAC is doing the same with rising young Conservatives.
The hilarity is totally unintentional, however. These folks are serious.
I'm looking at pictures of the devastation and damage of Hurricane Sandy and remembering G.W. Bush's response to the disaster relief in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina.
"You're doing a heck of a job, Brownie." In reality, it was anything but "a heck of job".
I can't imagine how the disaster relief efforts might be progressing if Mitt Romney was President. In print, in debates, and speeches, he's proposed doing away with FEMA and Federal Disaster Relief and returning that responsibility to each individual state.
I had to hold my nose to watch Tuesday evening's GOP Convention speakers, but I did it.
I have spent several days recently talking with voters in Texas, Illinois, and California. The people I talked with were a mixture of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. Most were frustrated with Barack Obama, and most believed that the actions of President Obama have been responsible for the marked increases in fuel and food costs that are now significantly slowing our economic growth and recovery.

Truth vs. Propaganda. The media is trumpeting another fall in unemployment today as the number of jobs created was only 60% of the expected 203,000. If the expectations had been met, unemployment should have stayed level at 8.3%. The propaganda media ignores this reality and glorifies this as good news since unemployment fell to 8.2%. Really? Removing people from the workforce denominator to adjust the numerator to a lower number will actually be believed by educated Americans? The answer is yes: if it worked in the past, it will continue to work in the future.
An analysis from Zerohedge.computs this into perspective:
March NFP [non-farm payroll] big miss at just 120K. Unemployment rate declines from 8.3% to 8.2%. Futures slide, for at least a few minutes before the NEW QE TM rumor starts spreading. The household survey actually posted a decline in March from 142,065 to 142,034. And as always, as we predicted when Goldman hiked its NFP forecast yesterday from 175K to 200K saying "if Goldman's recent predictive track record is any indication, tomorrow's NFP will be a disaster", Goldie once again skewers everyone. Finally, Joe LaVorgna's +250,000 forecast was just 100% off... as usual.
But this is only part of the story. The government has "seasonally adjusted" the jobs report due to winter. The bombshell is about to hit:
Yet things finally change in April, when seasonal adjustments hardly have an impact on the NSA number, and then in May things get from bad to worse, when the Seasonal Adjustment will for the first time every year, subtract 670,100jobs from the NSA number. Appropriately enough, this will come just before the June FOMC meeting. Finally, should the NFP number be a major beat, it merely makes US-based QE that much more unlikely until and unless we get a major disappointment in payrolls.
At this rate, our unemployment rate will be zero if there second Obama administration: the workforce will be zero. But if you have trouble comprehending what the administration is doing to solve our economic crisis, just listen to Joe:
David DeGerolamo
U.S. payrolls rose far less than expected in March, keeping the door open for further monetary policy support from the Federal Reserve, even as the unemployment rate fell to a three-year low of 8.2 percent.
Employers added 120,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said on Friday, the smallest increase since October.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected nonfarm employment to increase 203,000 and the unemployment rate to hold at 8.3 percent.
The weak employment growth last month likely reflected the fading boost from unseasonably warm winter weather. The payrolls count for January and February was revised to show just 4,000 more jobs created than previously reported.
The drop in the unemployment rate, to the lowest level since January 2009, reflected a drop in the labor force. The separate household survey, from which the jobless rate is derieved also showed a drop in employment.
The weak employment gains could hurt President Barack Obama's chances for re-election in November. The unemployment rate has fallen from 9.1 percent in August.
The painfully slow recovery in the labor market is a concern for Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, who is keeping open the option of further monetary policy support for the economy if the unemploymnt rate remains stubbornly high.

The economy produced only 120,000 jobs and somehow that translated to a .1% drop? They are only including filings over the past four weeks. How manipulative can you get? It's time to have the real numbers. Media loses more credibilty with each passing day. They should be drawing the differentiation. Instead, they are protecting Barack Obama! If the real rates were being posted by the Labor Department, he would be cleaning out his desk!
Both JFK and Robert were taken out because they were going to investigate the Feds and they will not stand up to a look see at what they are doing along with Obama working with them to control the USA like all commie countrys are...
What get's me is how can people believe anything that come's out of our Goverment mouth anymore.I don't trust anything these politician say.That's why this corrupt Goverment has to go.
Here is a more reliable site for statistics:
obama and reid and pelosi will say the unemployment rate is under 6% come the election.Transparency right?
If we counted all people, other than those who filed for benefits over the past four weeks, we would be looking at a much higher number. How high? No way to really telling! Gallup used a 9.8% number last month. That's too low in my estimation. There are so many people who have stopped looking for jobs. The economy is producing the same number of jobs that it produced in 1983. The population has obviously grown since '83. It would be nice if the government would attempt to provide a better benchmark than what they are giving. But, if they did, Barack Obama would be clearning out his office in anticipation of termination.
Fellow Patriots
This is a video of what has happened to the UK by their liberal immigration and the proliferation of Muslims and their quest for sharia law and domination.Obama just slipped HR1338 thru one of his midnight sessions allowing 20 million dollars to bring "refugees" from Gaza meaning Hamas/Hezbollah here to the US and giving them housing,money,jobs,and whatever they need because they are "victims"of a warzone.Basically in a nutshell hes importing terrorists at tax payers expense.
I deleted your second video link and replaced it with the actual video. You can copy the embed code from YouTube and paste it in the comment to show the video.
Unemployment rate drops as the welfare roles go higher and higher but our government is not being honest with the people.....So dont reach down for something if they are near by....

People are giving their advice and support on a website devoted to a nine month old baby in Canada who has rare disorder that keeps him from opening his jaw, Fox News reported on Monday.
The condition, called congenital trismus, is so rare that his Ottawa doctors don't know how to treat him. Doctors at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) said the condition causes has caused many problems. Wyatt spent the first three months of his life at the hospital and has been back for many emergency room visits.
His mother Amy Miville says, "Nobody can tell us if Wyatt is going to be better in two years, five years, 10 years, or if he will be eating from a tube the rest of his life."
Wyatt already had a scary episode where he was vomiting and couldn't open his mouth. He was rushed to the hospital, crying and choking, and lost consciousness. Doctors have used Botox to relax Wyatt's jaw muscles, allowing him to open his mouth a little bit, but it's not a complete solution.
The condition comes with other problems, too, like an inability to blink, use facial muscles, or swallow.
His parents have started website to get advice from around the world, and nurses have emailed dozens of tips for raising a baby that's fed through tubes, but still, no real solution.

Retail gives carpet tile thumbs up
Modular carpet is growing in the Main Street market for the same reasons it continues to grow in specified commercial. Carpet tile offers ease of handling and installation as well as efficient maintenance with the convenience of being able to remove damaged or soiled tiles to clean or replace. While not the target market, if residential customers are looking for carpet tile, they will find more styling now available in lines from Mohawk, Shaw and Milliken.
The view on Main Street is that carpet tile is a significant opportunity for growth, according to Sam Kuiper, Mohawk's product director for Main Street Commercial. "Carpet tile (at Mohawk) is designed for commercial but can be used in residential settings," Kuiper noted. "It is marketed for Main Street commercial."
Tile has become more affordable and Mohawk has worked to educate the retailer on the benefits of modular, according to Kuiper. "We put together training materials to help retailers understand the category and it has been paying dividends," he said.
Mohawk has nine styles of Main Street carpet tile in 24 x 2 inch squares and is expanding with four more in 2013. "Mohawk's Main Street tiles are all value priced with a variety of styling options. We have basic colors and some styles have as many as 12 colorways. All are tufted of solution dyed nylon, some with a space dyed accent. The bulk of orders are less than 300 square yards. There are eight square yards in a carton," Kuiper added.
With 36 running line styles of Main Street carpet tile, Shaw designed the line to meet end-user demand in the many commercial segments its commercial and retail customer's service, according to Quentin Quathamer, Shaw's brand manager, Main Street Commercial. That market includes institutional, government, office/tenant improvement and healthcare/senior living.
"Our tile products are regularly used in residential settings, such as recreation areas and basements," Quathamer added. "Our wide selection of styles offers great value to those end-users who are looking for stylish products that perform exceptionally well, while still having a specific budget that must still be met. Retailers have embraced our line exceptionally well."
All of Shaw's Main Street modular styles are Quick Ship (2 week service, all colors) and have NSF-140 Platinum certification.
Milliken's Legato Carpet System was designed to offer the look and feel of wall-to-wall carpet with the DIY installation ease of carpet tiles, according to Bud Aiken, residential business manager for Milliken.
Legato panels fit together quickly and feature TractionBack high-friction coating, an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional floor covering adhesive that keeps the tile in place, according to Milliken. "There's no 'peel,' just 'stick' with TractionBack," said Akin.
Legato carpet tiles won't move laterally but can be easily removed or lifted to replace, clean or change. Additionally, they can be installed directly over most common household surfaces with virtually little surface preparation, the company said.
"Carpet tile is a growing trend for residential spaces because of the unique functionality that carpet tile offers," Aiken reported. "As opposed to broadloom, tile provides ease of maintenance in the event that a portion needs to be replaced or removed."
