Consensus top-10 2015 prospect Diamond Stone swatted five Chinese shots away to set a USA U17 record for blocked shots in a single-game and competition on Aug. 14. Stone, who now has 20 blocked shots, also tallied 17 points and hauled in nine eight rebounds to help the U.S. advance to the World Championships semifinals with a 113-71 victory over China.
Stone, from Dominican H.S. in Milwaukee, Wisc, is having a terrific time on the court in Dubai, United Arab Emerites. He also leads the team in minutes per game (23.4), points per game (14.6), rebounds per game (10.4) and offensive rebounds (20). Stone is shooting 60.4 percent from the field as well.
Despite Stone's historical game, Henry Ellenson (Rice Lake H.S./Rice Lake, Wis.) was the Player of the Game. Ellenson, who has come off the bench in all five games, sparked two important runs for the U.S. He finished with 21 points, on 10-of-12 shooting, and 10 rebounds (both game highs) while only seeing 15 minutes of action.
The Americans started off strong, scoring the game's first seven points and went up 15-4 midway through the first quarter. Following China's only bucket on the stanza, the U.S. pushed its lead to 19-6. China then made 3-of-4 free throws but Ellenson scored on a put-back and then a traditional three-point play to spark a 11-2 spurt that gave the red, white and blue a 30-11 advantage after 10 minutes of play.
China picked up its pace in the second quarter and matched the U.S. almost point for point. Trailing 37-17 with five minutes left in the half, China outscored the U.S. 8-2 over the next few minutes to cut the deficit to 39-25 at the 2:14 mark. Head coach Don Showalter called a time-out to try to get the U.S. to refocus.
Following the timeout, the Americans turned up their defensive intensity and came away with three straight steals and Ellenson scored 10 points in a 12-0 run that closed out the half with the USA back in control, 51-25.
"I just brought energy," said Ellenson on his contributions to end the first half. "That's what we needed. I just got after it defensively and that turns into offense. That was a fun spurt for me, for sure. I think sometimes we just didn't bring the energy. We were just letting them do whatever. So, coach called a couple time outs when we were dead. We just got on our guys to bring the energy, to get the run going because we don't want to give them any hope to get back in the game."
The U.S. (5-0) continued their solid play in the third quarter, scoring 18-of-the quarters first 20 points to cement their spot in the semifinals against Serbia (5-0) on Aug. 15. Australia (4-1) will face either Spain (3-2) in the other semifinal.
Three other Americans reached double figures including Malik Newman (Callaway H.S./Jackson, Miss.), who tallied 16 points; Harry Giles (Wesleyan Christian Academy/Winston-Salem, N.C.), who scored 12 points; and Terrence Ferguson (Prime Prep Academy/Flower Mound, Texas), who chipped in with 11 points.
The U.S held China star Yanhao Zhou, who averaged 22.3 points coming into the game, to just 11 points on 3-of-9 shooting. Hao Fu led China with 16 while Jinqiu Hu (14 points, 7 rebounds) and Zixu Wang (11 points) also tallied double figures.

The road to Super Bowl XLVII will wind through Seattle in 2014, and fall right into Better Business Bureau's backyard. Ticket resellers are already busy swinging deals—like $14,000 tickets—with anyone willing to buy seats for the big game. But before making massive purchases, BBB warns fans to guard against blitzing scammers.
"Whether you're trying to make it to Saturday's playoff game, or betting on Seattle making it to the Super Bowl, know the investment will be substantial," said Chelsea Maguire, Director of Communications for the Better Business serving Eastern Washington, North Idaho & Montana. "Be extremely cautious when buying from third party sellers; last minute deals may lead to a major financial loss if it's a scam."
In the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, ticket seekers will be "rushing" online classifieds in hopes of finding private dealers willing to sell off valuable tickets. However, BBB reminds consumers to stick with their playbooks:
Check bbb.org and don't be left cheering alone this postseason.

The Philadelphia Flyers have a golden opportunity tonight. With the Calgary Flames' dominant 1-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday night, Philadelphia has a chance to punch its ticket to the playoffs with a win over the Panthers.
Philadelphia got back on the winning track on Sunday night against the Buffalo Sabres controlling most of the game en route to a 5-2 victory. Brayden Schenn scored his 19th and 20th goals of the season in the win.
"Obviously it's nice to score and help the team out as much as you can and contribute," Schenn said following the game. "But at the same time, at the end of the day, the wins are the most important. It's nice to score two goals and get the win."
All of the talk following the Sabres victory was on Zac Rinaldo and his hit on Sabres defenseman Chad Ruhwedel. The league ruled on Monday Rinaldo will not be able to rejoin the Flyers on the ice for the remainder of the regular season. The four-game suspension is the longest of his career, doubling the two-game suspension he received in 2012.
The Flyers are going to need to take advantage of some of the Panthers key injuries as Florida will be without Tomas Kopecky, Aleksander Barkov, Tom Gilbert and Alex Petrovic for tonight's game.
The puck is slated to drop at 7:30 pm at the BB&T Center.

By Ho Hoffman
WADSWORTH — Wadsworth played the drama card Saturday.
The Grizzlies' softball team busted out the brooms Saturday, beating Medina County rival Medina 3-2 and 4-3 with a pair of late rallies.
"Those were two great softball games," said Wadsworth coach Mike Schmeltzer Sr., whose team improved to 18-4. "They were both nail-biters right down to the final plays and could have gone either way. We were really fortunate to take both games."
For Medina coach Jessica Toocheck, it was an all too familiar story.
"That has been our season," she said. "We play great for six innings, making great plays both offensively and defensively, and then all of a sudden we let the game get away from us."
In the first game, the Bees (7-11) wasted a fine four-hit performance from Bobbi Langlois (3-9) when Wadsworth rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh.
The Grizzlies used an Alli Beery walk and an RBI double from Sam Ryan to plate the first run.
Anna Anderson reached on a fielder's choice as Ryan held second, but both moved up a base when Hannah Gibson grounded out to second baseman Stephanie Cunningham for the first out.
Emily Blankenship's delayed squeeze bunt brought home Ryan to tie the game when Medina catcher Chelsea Obrzut failed to hold the throw from first baseman Abby Knechtel, and Niki Weaver finished the rally with her only hit of the day, connecting on a 1-2 pitch that she sent over the left fielder's head for the game-winner.
"I was just looking for a ball I could drive, not any particular pitch," Weaver said. "I was really happy to get the big hit and beat Medina because they are so good in all sports it just feels good to beat them because they are so good."
Medina took the lead in the third inning when Vanessa Scoarste hit a one-out triple to score Lauren Peak and Kylee Ensign. Beery (9-4) sparkled after that and retired 14 of the final 15 batters, with the only runner reaching on an error.
"Alli really settled down after the third inning and didn't give Medina anything good to hit," Gibson said. "Both Alli and Sam (Weaver) were tough to hit today. Neither go for strikeouts. They just let our defense make the plays."
Defensive plays were the story for Wadsworth in the second game, as they kept coming up with big play after big play. Blankenship led the glove brigade with five assists and two put-outs, but right fielder Kelly Snodgrass made two of the biggest plays in the second inning.
With one out and Medina trailing 2-0, Knechtel worked Weaver (9-0) for a walk and Cunningham followed with a single. Bees pitcher Karli Greene (4-2) ripped what looked like a sure hit on a line drive to right, but Snodgrass took the ball on the first hop and fired a strike to first base to retire Greene.
Next up was Haley Jividen, who laced a drive close to the right field line in fair territory. Snodgrass raced back and made an over-the-shoulder catch to retire the side.
"I knew if I could come up clean with that first line drive I could make a good throw to first and get the runner," said Snodgrass, a converted third baseman. "On the fly ball, I got a good jump and saw it off the bat and knew I could track it down."
Medina kept threatening Sam Weaver, collecting eight hits, a walk and forcing four errors before finally hitting the scoreboard in the sixth inning.
Scoarste started it with a double and Jen Sansonette (4 hits) brought her home with a single.
After Weaver got the next two outs, Greene doubled to score Cunningham, who had reached on a fielder's choice. A single by Jividen gave Medina a 3-2 lead as Greene raced home.
The lead was short-lived.
In the next half inning, Horton reached after being nicked by a Greene pitch. Beery kept it going with a single and Ryan walked to load the bases. Anderson fouled off six pitches with a two-strike count and hit a sacrifice fly to center to bring home Horton.
Gibson single put the Grizzlies back on top 4-3 with a sharp single to score Horton.
"I was just looking for any pitch to hit," Gibson said, "I had an opportunity to get the big hit and I was really concentrating on getting it."
Wadsworth still wasn't out of the woods, as Medina gave it one last shot. Ensign opened the seventh inning by reaching on an error and made it to third, aided by Alexis Lee's sacrifice.
With Scoarste batting, Ensign tried to score from third on contact on a groundball to first baseman Beery, but was an easy out at home when Horton blocked the plate.
Medina later loaded the bases when Sansonette singled and Knechtel reached on an error, but Beery snagged a line drive down the line from Cunningham to end the game.
"This really was a big win for us," Schmeltzer said. "This is a huge rivalry and it usually results in a split, so to sweep the doubleheader against a well-coached and quality team like Medina should give us a lot of confidence heading into the final weeks of Suburban League and sectional tournament play."

Defense begins today in case of the man accused of throwing a baby out of a moving car on I-275
The defense will get its turn today in the trial of Richard McTear, a man accused of throwing his ex-girlfriend's 3-month-old baby out of a moving car on I-275.
They are expected to try to poke holes in mother Jasmine Bedwell's story. They said she initially blamed an uncle for killing the baby and also changed her story, saying at one point that the baby was accidently dropped as she and McTear fought.

Yesterday, an oral surgeon who testified for the prosecution introduced new DNA evidence. He said bite marks found of 3-month-old Emanuel Murray came from McTear. Another witness said blood found on McTear's car and on shorts he was wearing at the time belonged to the child.
The case could go to the judge as early as tomorrow. McTear is being charged with murder.

Voted Best All-Around Raingear Backpacker Magazine September 2010
Sale Price:
Size Chart
Please select a size
PreCip rainwear by Marmot offers reliable rain protection for backcountry and urban travelers alike. Both waterproof and breathable, it's perfect for all temperatures and is made to accommodate warm base layers underneath. Fully taped seams ensure waterproofness, and drawcord cuffs help cinch the pants when you're hiking through muddy or wet conditions.
Ankle side zips with snap tabs at the cuff make it easy to put these pants on over shoes or boots, and tabs help prevent the zipper from snagging on socks or laces. An elastic drawcord waist helps adjust the fit. The standard fit cut is straight through the legs with a comfortable fit through the hips and thighs. Zip-front hand pockets and back zip pocket.
Imported. 100% nylon ripstop; 50 denier; 2.8 oz./yard. 10 oz. Men's sizes M (waist 31-33"), L (34-36"), and XL (37-39").
PreCip is a lightweight, waterproof, and breathable nylon. Its major benefit is its barrier technology: A microporous polyurethane coating that has more and smaller pores per square inch than other high-tech rainwear. These holes are small enough to small water vapor molecules pass through, but not bigger raindrops. This means that sweat vapor can escape but weather can't get in. The rainwear is compressible enough to fit into a water bottle, making it perfect for travelers who are trying to pack light.
Machine washable. Marmot recommends using a front-loading washing machine.

Amidst the cluster of start-ups that is the San Francisco Bay Area, iPhone game developer MakeGamesWithUs stands out with a mission statement that not only promotes innovation in terms of iPhone games but also innovation in terms of start-up platforms in general.
MakeGamesWithUs was founded with the aim of steering app development away from being predominantly controlled by entrepreneurs and professional programmers ("old guys in suits," to whom they refer on their website ) by sponsoring high school students to develop games. By sponsoring high school students to create games, MakeGamesWithUs established a medium for the spreading of the raw creativity of younger minds into the world of apps.
MakeGamesWithUs sponsors high school students to create their games by providing participants with programming tutorials, access to forums to help them sort out any problems, and professional help to add any final flourishes to the game before publishing it. MakeGamesWithUs then publishes the game under their company name and if the developer chooses to sell their game, MakeGamesWithUs has claims 30% of the profits.
MakeGamesWithUs, having published hit iOS games such as Elemental Fury and Helicopter, also provide the platform for M-A junior Robbie Gordan's new game Planet Blaster, a puzzle game in which players take advantage of mirror-fields and lasers to strategically blast planets in galaxies far far away.
In conclusion, for high school students with all different degrees of coding knowledge who are either looking to earn some money from their work, or simply enjoy the satisfaction of creating new and interesting games, MakeGamesWithUs is a medium that not only promotes these aspirations but is a company that sequentially is stimulating innovation in the iOS gaming world.

New Orleans Saints defenders Shaun Rogers, Cameron Jordan and Martez Wilson each stand 6 feet 4, and it's not coincidental.
The Saints didn't just want to get better on defense this offseason. They wanted to get bigger and taller.
"We're going to look different getting off the bus," Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams said Saturday.
All play in the front seven, which, relatively speaking, has been on the short side in recent years. Mainstays Will Smith, Sedrick Ellis and Jon Vilma are each under 6-2. Their height could be an issue in a division with towering quarterbacks: 6-6 Josh Freeman, 6-5 Cam Newton and 6-4 Matt Ryan.
"We've got bigger people," Williams said. "Now we've got to get our bigger people to play with the same intensity and veracity as our smaller people have in the past. We sure look different."
The most noticeable newcomer is Rogers, a towering presence in the interior. Run-stuffing defensive tackles tend to be built like fireplugs. Hollis Thomas and Grady Jackson were prototypes. But Rogers is an exception.
"Shaun Rogers dwarfs me when I walk into the defensive huddle," Williams said. "I've wanted to coach him every since he came out of Texas. Talent-wise he could be up in the second, third or fourth most talented players I've had the chance to coach."
Williams touched on a variety of other subjects during his meeting with the local media since the Senior Bowl in January:
On the re-signing of strong safety Roman Harper: "He's come light years. He's a two-time Pro Bowl player that's young and is continuing to improve. A lot was said about his last game (by fans and the media). It's too bad you guys don't know ball because you're dead wrong. He played pretty well except for two plays. He played poor on two plays. But I can say the same about every other guy out there. I'm really happy that Roman's back. We need him here."
On second-year cornerback Patrick Robinson: "I can't wait to see Patrick make that big jump (in his second season) just like we asked Malcolm to last year. Patrick will make a big jump."
On veteran cornerback Jabari Greer: "He played with a full dislocated shoulder (last season). I think that showed remarkable resolve. Why do you do that? Because that's culture here. That's what we do."
On linebacker Jonathan Casillas, who missed last season because of a broken foot: "He's got to prove that he can be available week in and week out. It does not make any difference about his talent. We've cut a lot of players that have a lot of talent through my coaching years. If you're not available then you become a reporter or a coach or an insurance salesman. But you're not a professional athlete. He knows. This is a brutal tough business. This is a production business. I love seeing Jonathan Casillas practice. I'd like to see him play more."

Subdued Land Prices Suggest Canada's Real Estate Market on Solid Ground
By Don Curren
With Canada's stratospheric housing market returning to lower altitudes in the last few months, every little quiver in house prices has been carefully examined.
But, prices for another key component of the housing sector — the land those houses are built on — haven't gotten quite as much attention.
BMO Capital Markets took a look recently, finding price increases for land have been subdued and don't point to a frenzy of speculation in the market, it said in a report.
Sustained house price increases in recent years have been attributed in part to speculation, particularly in Vancouver and Toronto, although there is little hard data available to confirm that. House prices have stalled in most regions amid slumping sales in the last few months, with notable exception of Vancouver, where they have fallen fairly sharply.
Statistics Canada data indicate land prices were up 1.3% in February from the same month last year, BMO said.
That makes for a dramatic contrast with the sharp growth seen in land prices at the peak of the last two real estate cycles, Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO, told Canada Real Time.
In December 2006, just before the short housing correction induced by the financial crisis, land prices increased by 10.7% from a year before. In March 1989, just before a sharp rise in interest rates that prompted a deep recession, land price jumped a whopping 32%.
"That's actually when the market started to crack — and the resale market, as well, after the spring of that year," Mr. Guatieri said.
Real estate speculation in Canada in the last few years has been associated primarily with condominiums, and to a lesser extent detached homes, but land itself is an attractive vehicle for speculators as taxes are much lower on lots — particularly unserviced lots — than they are on completed houses, Mr. Guatieri said.
Total prices for both houses and the land they stood on increased by 12% in August 2006 from the year before, and 16.6% in March 1989. In contrast, prices were up by 2.1% in February of this year, slightly down from the 2.2% increase registered in January.

KYAMITES (or Cyamites) was a demi-god or hero of the Eleusinian mysteries who presided over the cultivation of beans (or more specifically of the broad bean, species Vicia faba). Kyamites sometimes occurs in Athenian vase-painting and sculptures amongst the Eleusinian companions of the goddess Demeter.
CYAMI′TES (Kuamitês), the hero of beans, a mysterious being, who had a small sanctuary on the road from Athens to Eleusis. No particulars are known about him, but Pausanias (i. 37. § 3) says, that those who were initiated in the mysteries or had read the so-called Orphica would understand the nature of the hero.
Source: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology.
Pausanias, Description of Greece 1. 37. 4 (trans. Jones) (Greek travelogue C2nd A.D.) :
"On the road [to Eleusis near the River Kephissos (Cephissus) in Attika] stands a small temple called that of Kyamites (Cyamites). I cannot state for certain whether he was the first to sow beans, or whether they gave this name to a hero because they may not attribute to Demeter the discovery of beans. Whoever has been initiated at Eleusis or has read what are called the Orphica knows what I mean."

Outstanding Service and Affordability
Your Website specialist for new builds, upgrades and repairs,
Conversions of older sites and Regular Maintenance of your current website.
Testimonials from our Clients & Colleagues
"Ed has incredible insight into what a web site should do and how it should interact with the user and the owner. His pricing is excellent and I just love that he has annual maintenance contracts so my clients don't have to worry about their web sites. I recommend Ed and Higher Source Web Sites to anyone who is considering a redesign (including more functionality) to their web site."
When I made the decision to have a website built I contacted about seven companies in the Sonoma County area for bids, Ed Rosenthal being one of these. Six of the webmasters submitted bids that gave the distinct impression that they were not responding to my clearly stated goals, objectives, and budget, but rather they were trying to make me fit their agenda and conform to their needs and their preconceived notions about the what this website might be. When I spoke to them about the details of their proposal they presented themselves as 'techo-drones' spouting jargon, throwing concepts around, &c., more to confuse than to edify. The proposal that Ed submitted was different. He listened to me and created a proposal that actually responded to my needs and he described the general approach in comprehensible language. When I saw this my decision was easy. We quickly created an outline of a proposal and went from there. Working with Ed was easy, he did what he said he was going to do, he listened to all my questions and responded with patience and clarity, he made excellent suggestions throughout; in short he delivered more than he was required to under our agreement, and best of all, I received a website that exceeded my expectations.
"Late in the afternoon on a Friday, I got a call from a client who needed an update on her website. She needed an event listed, a separate page created for the event, as well as creating links to PayPal for purchasing tickets or donating—and she wanted this by Sunday. When I emailed Higher Source Sites on that same Friday afternoon with the request, I had little hope of being able to report back to my client with good news. (The client's regular webby was unavailable, and I suspected that finding a replacement to step into an existing website might be difficult.) However, I was delighted to not only receive a quick response, but also hear that Ed would be able to accomplish this by Sunday! "Ed was one step ahead of me, and completed this on Saturday. Then on Sunday, I had another request—that I would need an emailable version of the event page with active links. This turned into a more complicated project and took much more time than originally anticipated, so Ed's Sunday afternoon was devoured by me and many emails. "The project was completed in record time, and Ed's patience with me and the project was remarkable—not to mention the fact that he sacrificed his weekend to help me and my client. My client is thrilled with the results and with me, and I have Higher Source Sites to thank."
"Higher Source Sites has become an integral part of maintaining my website. Before meeting Eddie Rosenthal my web presence was not even coming close to my much needed potential. Eddie examined my website for effective word content that related to my desired demographic of customers. He helped me realize that I had invested too much attention to graphics instead of concentrating on greater marketing potential through key word content. Higher Source Sites will not only yield amazing results but also educate the customer to understand how to get your business to the top of your category for web search. I had wasted years of underpowered web content that didn't work…now it does." Thank you Higher Source Sites for helping my customers find me.
"I used Higher Source Sites (Web Designer Eddie Rosenthal) to maximze my search engine web presence for my business as a Nurse Observer. Eddie got my website at the top of the natural listings for Nurse Observer — check it out for yourself!"
Eddie Rosenthal is fantastic as a web designer and SEO expert! You're in good hands with Higher Source Sites. He's also a wonderful person to interact with… My web presence and ability to attract clients has soared since he has been my go-to person for web-related issues! Sincerely,
It was my great pleasure to work with Ed on the website for Rotary District 5130's Youth Exchange website – www.youthexchange5130.org. We were moving from a website that was difficult to change and only one person had the access and skills to update to a Word Press site that would allow us more flexibility to update and change. Ed transferred over the current content quickly and provided suggestions and ideas to improve the flow of the site. For example, we had pages with a lot of text and Ed recommended putting this information into boxes with tabs to reduce the amount of scrolling needed. As with many nonprofits, there was a committee of people who wanted input on both the content of the site and the look and feel. Ed was amazingly patient with needing to do revisions, change colors multiple times, updating photos, and everything else people could think of to change. In addition, Ed went above and beyond, spending time to train me on how to use the basics of Word Press so that I could maintain the site without having to pay him every time we had a small change that was needed. Finally, when I got a note from Sonic where we host our site that we were over our data usage, Ed explained to me how to remove the old site to a flash drive. A week later, he followed up with me to see if I had done it and when I hadn't asked me for a flash drive and did it himself! This was a couple months after the job was over! Ed takes pride in his work and ownership of the websites he designs. He does an excellent job and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to update an existing site or build a new one. A big fan!
"Silly Willy you were just supposed to tell me how to do it – not do all the work! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You're brilliant. Looks nice and clean…"
"Ed has a wealth of knowledge in the web and SEO sectors. He is responsive and sensitive to clients' needs, and is not one to back down from a challenge or an unknown.
Service Category: Graphic/Web Designer
Year first hired: 2011 (hired more than once)

"We recently needed to sharpen our SEO knowledge and contracted with Ed Rosenthal of Higher Source Sites to help us.Ed is not only an SEO expert, he is also extremely patient in explaining why SEO has become so important in getting your web pages to rank high on Google searches. He made sure that we understood the latest changes in Google's approach to SEO before demonstrating to us how to implement it. His systematic approach helped us to become competent in doing it ourselves in future.Thanks Ed, we appreciate all your knowledge, time, and patience that you shared so freely with us."
"Ed completed my new website in record time and it is beautiful! We ran into some glitches with the kind of headings I wanted, but Ed researched the solution and got me exactly what I wanted. I could not be happier with his expert service!"
"We recently contracted with Higher Source Sites to build us a new e-commerce website and Ed developed the entire site is an incredibly short period of time! His attention to detail and he thorough business methods really paid off for us. I highly recommend Ed for SEO and site development work."

Four members of Washington's congressional delegation repeatedly voted against extending NSA-style electronic surveillance.
Four members of Washington's congressional delegation repeatedly voted against extending NSA-style electronic surveillance.
WASHINGTON — Eager to quell a domestic furor over U.S. spying, the nation's top intelligence official stressed Saturday that a previously undisclosed program for tapping into Internet usage is authorized by Congress, falls under the strict supervision of a secret court and cannot intentionally target a U.S. citizen. He decried the revelation of that and another intelligence-gathering program as reckless.
For the second time in three days, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper took the rare step of declassifying some details of an intelligence program to respond to media reports about counterterrorism techniques employed by the government.
"Disclosing information about the specific methods the government uses to collect communications can obviously give our enemies a 'playbook' of how to avoid detection," he said.
Clapper said the data collection under the program, first unveiled by the newspapers The Washington Post and The Guardian, was with the approval of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court and with the knowledge of Internet service providers. He emphasized that the government does not act unilaterally to obtain that data from the servers of those providers.
Clapper's reaction came a day after President Barack Obama defended the counterterrorism methods and said Americans need to "make some choices" in balancing privacy and security. But the president's response and Clapper's unusual public stance underscore the nerve touched by the disclosures and the sensitivity of the Obama administration to any suggestion that it is trampling on the civil liberties of Americans.
Late Thursday, Clapper declassified some details of a phone records collection program employed by the National Security Agency that aims to obtain from phone companies on an "ongoing, daily basis" the records of its customers' calls. Clapper said that under that court-supervised program, only a small fraction of the records collected ever get examined because most are unrelated to any inquiries into terrorism activities.
His statement and declassification Saturday addressed the Internet scouring program, code-named PRISM, that let the NSA and FBI tap directly into the servers of major U.S. Internet companies such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and AOL. Like the phone-records program, PRISM was approved by a judge in a secret court order. Unlike that program, however, PRISM allowed the government to seize actual conversations: emails, video chats, instant messages and more.
Clapper said the program, authorized in the USA Patriot Act, has been in place since 2008, the last year of the George W. Bush administration, and "has proven vital to keeping the nation and our allies safe.
"It continues to be one of our most important tools for the protection of the nation's security," he said.
Among the previously classified information about the Internet data collection that Clapper revealed:
• It is an internal government computer system that allows the government to collect foreign intelligence information from electronic communication service providers under court supervision.
• The government does not unilaterally obtain information from the servers of U.S. electronic communication service providers. It requires approval from a FISA Court judge and is conducted with the knowledge of the provider and service providers supply information when they are legally required to do so.
• The program seeks foreign intelligence information concerning foreign targets located outside the United States under court.
• The government cannot target anyone under the program unless there is an "appropriate, and documented, foreign intelligence purpose" for the acquisition. Those purposes include prevention of terrorism, hostile cyber activities or nuclear proliferation. The foreign target must be reasonably believed to be outside the United States. It cannot intentionally target any U.S. citizen or any person known to be in the U.S.
• The dissemination of information "incidentally intercepted" about a U.S. person is prohibited unless it is "necessary to understand foreign intelligence or assess its importance, is evidence of a crime, or indicates a threat of death or serious bodily harm.
The Post and the Guardian cited confidential slides and other documents about PRISM for their reports. They named Google, Facebook, Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc., Yahoo Inc., AOL Inc. and Paltalk as companies whose data has been obtained.
All the companies have issued statements asserting that they aren't voluntarily handing over user data. They also are emphatically rejecting newspaper reports indicating that PRISM has opened a door for the NSA to tap directly on the companies' data centers whenever the government pleases.
In his statement, Clapper appeared to support that claim by stressing that the government did not act unilaterally, but with court authority.
The Guardian reported Saturday that it had obtained top-secret documents detailing an NSA tool, called Boundless Informant, that maps the information it collects from computer and telephone networks by country. The paper said the documents show NSA collected almost 3 billion pieces of intelligence from U.S. computer networks over a 30-day period ending in March, which the paper says calls into question NSA statements that it cannot determine how many Americans may be accidentally included in its computer surveillance.
NSA spokesperson Judith Emmel said Saturday that "current technology simply does not permit us to positively identify all of the persons or locations associated with a given communication." She said it may be possible to find that a communication "traversed a particular path within the Internet," but that "it is harder to know the ultimate source or destination, or more particularly the identity of the person represented by the TO:, FROM: or CC: field of an e-mail address or the abstraction of an IP address."
Emmel said communications are filtered both by automated processes and NSA staff to make sure Americans' privacy is respected. "This is not just our judgment, but that of the relevant inspectors general, who have also reported this," she said.
The revelations have divided Congress and led civil liberties advocates and some constitutional scholars to accuse Obama of crossing a line in the name of rooting out terror threats.
Obama strove to calm Americans' fears but also to remind them that Congress and the courts had signed off on the surveillance.

The United Nations is once again celebrating "World No Tobacco Day" on May the 31st 2010. The theme of this 22th anniversary of the global initiative is "Gender and tobacco with an emphasis on marketing to women". This year the UN's World Health Organization warns, through an impact campaign, about tobacco companies' aggressive marketing strategies that specifically target women.
In Europe, national governments are turning to impact images on cigarette boxes to warn smokers and non-smokers of the dangers, as recommended by European Commission directives . The last country to adopt this measure was Spain, on May 14, 2010, following the United Kingdom, Belgium and Romania.
The era when cigarettes' had a young and fancy image is over. The cowboy of a certain famous US tobacco brand is not anymore an attractive icon. Having won the battle of the smoking ban in public places and in the workplace, as well as the battle of price increases through taxes, international institutions and national authorities are turning to impact images to warn smokers every time they pick up their packet and to paint them a picture of ill-health.
On "World No Tobacco Day" euronews.net looks at the latest and most shocking anti tobacco campaigns and puts together the links to the main institutions fighting tobacco smoke and some, more difficult to find, that still defend it.
'Smoke is ugly'. Shock campaign of the World Health Organization against marketing targeting women. The theme of this 2010 World No Tobacco Day is Gender and tobacco with an emphasis on marketing to women. The WHO has evidence that tobacco use among girls is increasing in some countries and regions. In half of the 151 countries recently surveyed for trends in tobacco use among young people, approximately as many girls used tobacco as boys, while women are only about 20% of the world's smokers. More girls used tobacco than boys in some of the countries, including Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, Cook Islands, Croatia, Czech Republic, Mexico, New Zealand, Nigeria and Uruguay.
That's how will look european tobacco packs soon (or how they already look, in some cases). (pdf)
Austria — Belgium — Cyprus — Czech Republic — Denmark — Estonia
Finland — France — Germany — Greece — Hungary — Ireland — Italy — Latvia
Lithuania — Luxembourg — Malta — Netherlands — Poland — Portugal
Slovakia — Slovenia — Spain — Sweden — United Kingdom
Even while they look quite ugly, images of EU Commission catalogue are soft compared to other countries' proposals:
OMS overview on other countries warnings (pdf)
Thankfully we have our colleague's Etienne Barthomeuf cartoons to take a visual break.
Evolution of smokers' public image...
"In 2002 the United Kingdom (45.2%) and France (44.1%) were the two countries with the highest percentage of smokers, followed by Denmark (42.6%) and Greece (42.0%)."
"In 2009 Southern Europe countries see the greatest proportion of smokers, specifically Greece, where the proportion of smokers exceeds 40%. Smoking is the next highest in Bulgaria (39%) and Hungary (38%) and Turkey (37%) and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (37%). The UK has dramatically reduced the proportion (28%)."
"Survey on tobacco Fieldwork: October 2009 Publication: May 2010. In 2002 "Portugal (29.3%) had the fewest smokers, with Sweden (33.0%) and Luxembourg (33.8%) just above."
"In 2009, Portugal still one of the countries with fewer smokers (23%) but has been passed by Sweden (16%)."
"The Netherlands, Sweden and Denmark have the greatest proportion of respondents who have given up smoking; 33%, 31% and 31% respectively. The countries with the next greatest proportion of ex-smokers are Finland, France and Germany, each with between 26% and 27%. The UK, Slovenia and Austria are not far behind, with between 23% and 25% of respondents who have quit smoking" flash Eurobarometer. Survey on tobacco Fieldwork: October 2009 Publication: May 2010
"Russia is the country where the habit of smoking is most popular. Some 65 percent of men and 30 percent of women smoke here. Of them, 80 percent and 50 percent respectively started smoking before getting 18 years old, signaled statistics of Rospotrebnadzor" Kommersant russian daily, in November 2007.
"Approximately 36 percent of the Chinese population smokes. The rate of smokers is 66.9 percent among men and 3.2 percent among women" Association for Asia Research.

Smokers Association (US)
"Every year, some 5.4 million people die from illnesses caused by tobacco consumption –- 80 per cent of them in low- and middle-income countries. Up to half of all smokers die from a tobacco-related disease, and science has shown that second-hand smoke harms everyone who is exposed to it. Left unchecked, tobacco-related deaths will rise to more than 8 million by 2030" UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's message for World No Tobacco Day.
"According to a recent analysis of 117 national implementation reports, nearly 80 per cent of the Parties to the Convention prohibited sales of tobacco products to minors and 70 per cent have introduced large, clear and visible health warnings on the packages of tobacco products" WHO on World No Tobacco Day.
"Tobacco kills 650,000 Europeans every year, and many lives could be saved from reducing tobacco consumption. I am particularly concerned about smoking rates amongst young people: Europe cannot passively watch future generations smoke away their health!" John Dalli, Commissioner for Health and Consumer Policy.
"The Eurobarometer survey shows that European citizens favour stricter tobacco control measures. There is high public support for picture health warnings on tobacco packs (75% in favor)" EU-UN website on World No Tobacco Day 2010.
"More than two-thirds of all respondents (67.6%) do not think that health warnings placed on cigarette packages will cause people to smoke less or to stop smoking" Eurobarometer 2002. Publication 2003.
"While levels of tobacco use have dropped in many affluent countries, they are on the rise in developing countries which are seen as "the new frontier for the marketing of tobacco products" particularly to girls and women" Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General.

For 28 years dairy farmer Billy Smith hasn't missed his daily appointments. At 730 milkings every year — except in leap year when it's 732 — that adds up to more than 20,000 milkings. On Jan. 12, Smith completed his 20,000th straight milking.
The routine is the same every day:
Twice a day at 5:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Smith wrangles the cows into the waiting area outside the milking barn.
He sterilizes each piece of equipment and slips a "sock" over the hose that delivers milk into the milk tank.
General Manager
During a meeting that started off tense, three members of the Campbellsburg City Council said they were unhappy about not being notified of a recent change in the city's personnel.
Council member Rex Morgan said he was upset that Mayor Jan Fletcher hired a new city attorney without notifying the council members that the decision had been made while acknowledging Fletcher is not required to do so. Fletcher replaced former City Attorney Joe Yates with Graham Whatley of La Grange.
Courtesy, Common Sense and Safety fly right out the window every school day morning in New Castle. It's a "me first" mentality out there, so we need to say extra prayers that we and our children will make it safely to our destinations. We stop at school to unload our kids, and it doesn't matter that kids are crossing in the crosswalk and unloading in the cars ahead of us —we've got to get past them, we've got to get to where we're going fast!

Two Eminence Democrats will face off in the May 18 primary election for the Magisterial seat formerly held by Wayne Gunnell.
The winner will face Republican Scott Bates, who is unopposed in the primary, in November's general election.
Adam West, 45, was appointed in 2008 to serve out Gunnell's term and faces current Eminence City Council member Danny Meadows, 50.
Through their opening three baseball games, the Eminence Warriors are still searching for their first win this season but coach Mark Payton says the potential is definitely there.
The Warriors opened 2010 with a 17-1 loss to Anderson County on March 31, then took a 29-13 loss to Trimble County last Tuesday and a 20-2 loss to Williamstown on Thursday in the first round of the 8th Region All "A" Classic tournament. All three outings followed a similar storyline with Eminence hanging close in the early innings before faltering down the stretch with late-game woes.

Kim Zolciak is known for wearing wigs -- but it isn't because she has to.
In fact, the former star of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" has a great head of hair which she spoke about on last night's episode of "Watch What Happens Life." After revealing to host Andy Cohen that her hair had been getting long because of all the kids she's had as of late (four total in the last three years), Kim took to Facebook where she showed off her real hair.
"Found this pic from last week... Real hair!" Kim wrote in the caption of the photo.
In the photo, Kim is seen with her natural hair done in curls, and from the looks of things, the last thing she needs is a wig. Her hair is not only long, but also very thick and perfectly highlighted.
Although Kim looks great with wigs as well, it would be nice to see her more natural from time to time. Plus, with all of her kids (she has six) it seems like it would be easier on her not to have to maintain her wigs.
Hopefully, as time goes on, she'll become more comfortable with her natural hair.

Along with the obviously exciting product updates and announcements at Apple's September event was the familiar face we all know and love, Steve Jobs. After sincerely thanking the donor of his liver and Apple community for helping him make it through his tough time in dealing with health, he went on to offer some fairly interesting numbers about Apple and their products. Ranging from the iPhone to iTunes, they help to give an insight into where Apple will be focusing.
As far as the iPhone goes, there has been a staggering 1.8 billion application downloads (take that, Pam Pre!) from over 75,000 available applications in the App Store. If you ask me, those sure are some large numbers for a service that is only about two years old. Furthermore, around 30 million iPhones have been sold in that time, which obviously helped lead to those high download numbers. With software updates like iPhone OS 3.1 released, I imagine this will keep climbing as improvements are continuously made.
On the software side of things, iTunes is now the #1 music retailer in the world. With 8.5 billion songs downloaded through the product, it's no surprise that is has made it all the way to iTunes 9 with some new features and exciting new concepts to get people to purchase even more music. These song downloads are spread across the 100,000,000 accounts now on iTunes which are making it one of the largest web stores around.
As you can see, both the iPhone and iTunes have brought tremendous success to Apple and will continue to do so through improvements like those just released.

Marilyn Arsenault
MEC Ambassador Marilyn Arsenault Victoria, BC
At an age when most athletes consider retiring, Marilyn discovered competitive long-distance running. Now in her 40s, she's challenging records on all surfaces - track, road, and cross-country - and has represented Canada on the national and international scene. You'll find her exploring the forested running trails of Victoria, where she lives and trains.
She's passionate about healthy running and techniques that have kept her invigorated and injury free. In her running clinics, she shares what she's learned with recreational and elite runners.
In September 2012, Marilyn set the record in the outdoor 10,000m Canadian masters (34:22), and in 2008 and 2012, she took top prize in the Vancouver Sun Run masters division.
At its best, running is freedom – the beauty and simplicity of natural movement. If I can help other runners experience even a glimpse of that, my work is done."

Are you telling your school's story as the "Expression of Inspiration" or the "Limited"? Without a well-crafted message that tells the story of innovation and achievement in your school you will find yourselves with consumers not taking a second look.
I love to read a good story and one that starts with something to hook me in will inspire me to continue reading and learn more. Now don't get me wrong, I do want details (the data and stats), but it's after I am hooked that I am ready to read that in the more. Quite often we find the same situation with parents looking for schools. They want to know how your school is achieving, but first you must get their attention. MAPSA wants to help you tell your story!
In the spring of 2013 MAPSA launched ChoicesInEducation.com, a site dedicated to empowering parents to make a choice for their child and become engaged in their education. One of the features of the site includes a listing of all the charter schools in the state. Through a radio and digital ad campaign (see sample video below), in less than a year the site has had nearly 10,000 visits. Parents are coming to our site to look at your school.
The question is, are you telling your story in the most appealing way to encourage parents to take the next step? We have included below an interview with some parents who made a choice for their child. We're hoping you can use this as a best practice for telling your story to help you build the best profile for ChoicesInEducation.com. I invite you to take a look at your profile and ask yourself if parents are going to say, "I want to know more!"

Recently, MAPSA spoke with charter school parents at Marvin L. Winans Academy in Detroit and Conner Creek Academy East
"What people talked about was true. My children are special needs and they support they get is beyond words."
"The interaction I experienced with my sons' teachers right away was very pleasing. I was able to email them and got responses right away. They shared my same concerns for my children; knowing we're on the same page with regard to their successes is very important."
"Test scores! What I see happening in the classroom does not reflect the scores students have. My kids work hard and are pushed to do work, but test scores for the school don't show that."
"I would describe Conner Creek Academy East as a school that takes pride in the educational success of the student."
Governor Snyder presented his Fiscal Year 2014-15 budget today. The school aid budget overall increases funding for K-12 education by $322 million over last year's appropriation. The proposal increases the per-pupil foundation allowance by $111 for schools funded at the minimum and school districts at the maximum will receive $83 more per-pupil. The charter school maximum will be $7,278. Members should consult the Member Confidential for more detailed information on the budget.
State Testing Update
The legislature continues to take testimony on the various assessments that could be used instead of the MEAP next year. While the MDE maintains that Smarter Balance is the appropriate replacement, the legislature is continuing hearings on a number of options.
Defining Educator Evaluations
Finally, the House Education Committee began hearings on a set of bills to further define educator evaluations. While the goals of the legislation, to provide high quality educator evaluations across the state are laudable, MAPSA has serious concerns about the prescription in the bills.

Hollywood actor Alex Kruz, known for movies like Red Cloud: Deliverence, Long Until Gone and Assassin: The Origin of Curtis Duvalle and Tom in America (2013) is currently in Nepal for a noble cause. He is here to assist the orphans, poor children and visually-impaired people.
The philanthropist has already handed over educational materials, playthings and clothes to the Goldhunga-based centre for the visually-impaired people and the Jorpati-based Buddhist Child Home in Kathmandu.
And at present he is in Pokhara to help "the poor and needy children".
Kruz, who has already spent two nights at the Lake Side said, "Acting is my interest but helping people is my aim."
During a brief conversation with The Himalayan Times, the 38-year-old silver screen artiste added, "I feel immense pleasure when I help the poor and helpless people."
And he collects the required fund for the philanthropic cause "with the help of my friends. I also spend my personal earnings for the same"as per the actor who also has helped the children in risk and those suffering from fatal diseases in Ukrain and South America. Kruz has also supported the injured and the stranded people after the 9/11 attack in the Twin Tower in America.
Though he started his acting career in 2006, Kruz is into social services since the last two decades. Kruz, who holds a Master's degree in Anthropology hails from New Jersey, US.
During his visit to help Nepal and Nepali people, the US actor is also enjoying the natural beauty of the country. And he was mesmerised by the beautiful mountains seen from the streets of the Lake City.
According to Kruz's aide Shreeram Adhikari, the actor will be enjoying paragliding and a short trek in the Annapurna trekking route during his stay in Pokhara.

Some industry analysts predict, light sport aircraft (LSA) category is the fastest growing future of the general aviation. There is a wide variety of LSA airplanes on the market. Some very impressive models start around $70,000 - a very modest price tag in the aviation industry. One of them is the Apollo LSA by Silverlight Aviation in Florida.
Here is the summary of this interesting small airplane:
- Factory built, completed and test-flown per ASTM LSA requirements
- Flies with much less use of rudder pedals than other renditions of the Avid Flyer / Fox design in LSA.
- Night VFR flights possible with properly equipped airplane for private and higher pilots
- Aircraft grade wiring harness with push-pull circuit breakers to isolate everything
- Quick-fold wings fold in about 10 to 12 minutes with simple tools by one person
- One piece turtle deck means no water leakage into that area unlike other model renditions
- AN hardware on all exposed structural components with some metric hardware in engine compartment, etc., for easier access to better hardware
- High visibility with heavy-duty, clear lexan gull doors, cockpit top and skylights
- Sensenich composite prop with nickel leading edge protection, made for Rotax 912 Series Engines
- Intuitive tube and fabric construction that is familiar to most mechanics
- Great performance and docile handling with light pressure, yet positive
- Optional 2-axis auto-pilot available at a great price
The manufacturer offers a complete information on their web site.

I have Pleurisy. I get it often, I always have. But recently it seems to occur more and more often. Is there a cure for this? I have tried inhalers, antibiotics, still no relief. I know for a fact that this is Lupus related. I would love to find a cure for this. It is sooo painful I feel like my lungs are gonna burst! If anyone has had treatment for this, please let me know how it went. Thanks! Hugs, Niecy.

Hello there :) I'm sorry it hurts so bad, I know how that can be. Well, I don't know if this will help you specifically, but it's worth a try? I lay on my back with head propped on pillow and hot wet towel, heating pad, or anything light I can find that will retain heat the longest. Water bottles too heavy and hurts. If you can take ibuprofen, I take those at the same time. It really helps releive the pain for me.

I think that is what is going on with me as well. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow with a pulmonologist (sp?) to see what, if anything, can be done.
I am so frustrated ALWAYS feeling bad, hurting etc... but one of the worst parts of what is going on with me is I'm exausted from not breathing well.

Pantech Duo 2 clears FCC
The still unannounced follow-up to the original dual keyboard-packing Pantech Duo has just been approved by the FCC. It came black as can be expected from a Pantech Duo phone, and throws a rather small amount of innovation to the table as far as features are concerned.
For what appears to be a small handset, the Pantech Duo 2 also carries the same alphanumeric keypad and QWERTY keyboard as the original. And then, it will be equipped with Windows Mobile 6.1.
To be officially called the Pantech Duo 2 C820, this handset features the following:
– Dual-band 850/1900 GSM/EDGE/WCDMA
– 2-megapixel camera with video capture
– Bluetooth connectivity
– microSD card slot
As of this time's writing, this handset's official release is still unknown. Though if any Pantech Duo 2 user ever brings his device to the US, he won't be having any problems.

1D Return To The "Today" Show This August For A Mega-Mini Concert
Just as Little Mix has signed up to Good Morning America's concert series, One Direction are sticking with NBC's Today Show.
They have performed on the show in the past and have been able to attract some 15,000 people to the venue. That was last November, when the band had just released new album 'Take Me Home'.
It is a very prestigious gig and is killer for publicity, with millions of people watching at home and tens of millions who will be watching on YouTube.
As part of the 18th annual concert series, 1D will be back in August. The 23rd of August to be exact – so American Directioners keep an eye out and tune into NBC to see them.
It will be interesting to see what songs they are going to perform. "One Way Or Another" seems like a logical choice, but "Rock Me" has been suggested as a single.
USA Today have compiled a list of the other performers at the concerts and our boys are amongst some great company!
Make sure you tune in.
- 24 — fun.
- 31 — New Kids on the Block/98 Degress/Boyz II Men
- 7 — Lionel Richie
- 14 — Maroon 5
- 21 — Hunter Hayes
- 28 — Phillip Phillips
- 5 — John Mayer
- 12 — Ed Sheeran
- 19 — Fall Out Boy
- 26 — Train
- 2 — The Band Perry
- 9 — Michael Buble
- 16 — Luke Bryan
- 23 — One Direction
- 30 — Chris Brown
August looks like being a great month for the boys with their movie 'This Is Us' also getting its long-awaited release.

Eating healthy seems like too big a challenge for many to take on and yet there are so many benefits to improving your eating habits that it very simply makes good sense to at least try and make an effort at eating better. The biggest obstacle that most individuals face when it comes to improving their eating habits is very simply that they struggle with the idea of a complete overhaul and giving up all the wonderful foods that they enjoy eating. After all, in the U.S. eating is just for sustenance it is for pleasure as well.
If you are at this new place of changing your eating habits it is important to remember to take it one change at a time to become successful. You must allow your body and mind to adjust to the new eating regiment and for the changes to take hold for the long haul. If you try too much change at once you are only setting yourself up for failure because too much too soon will only lead to overwhelming cravings and often times feelings of deprivation.
If you learn to slowly without wavering, add or integrate a better quality of food into your diet you will find that your eating habits will be changed easier. Including more and different varieties of vegetables and fruits into your diet will increase the amount of nutrients that is necessary for a body to stay healthy and strong. It is already a researched fact that the American diet is often very devoid of these essential nutrients.
However you decide to make the changes in your eating habits you will want to take them one day at a time and be consistent with each new day. It has taken most people a lifetime of conditioning and reinforcing the unhealthy habits they currently have and the changes will only be permanent if they are allowed to integrate into your daily eating routine. Restructuring the conditioning and enforcement changes will make the process less painful and more healthful.
Whether you are adding fruits and vegetables, whole grains, organic products or even just cutting back on the processed sugar these small changes can make a big difference in not only the way you look and feel but in your life expectancy as well. It may seem like baby steps but these are the changes that can really extend your life. So add an extra salad a day or drink a glass of orange juice in the morning and one before bed. Start small and then use these healthy building blocks to build a foundation for a healthier you.

I usually joke around calling Christie the Corpulent Guido, but realize I was using the wrong term. Many of my New York friends are Italians and they are great people and to describe this Obese Bully as a Guido is insulting many people I know and love. He's a demonic despicable low life human being.
When confronted by the father of a child Dravet Syndrome asking him to sign a medicinal marijuana bill, Christie says its complicated and needs to think about. The father keeps pressing him and being the demonic scum he is, Christie continues to act dismissive.
SCOTCH PLAINS, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — A campaign visit to Scotch Plains led to a confrontation between Gov. Chris Christie and a local father over the use of medical marijuana for children.
The parents of little Vivian Wilson, who's 2 and a half, wrote a letter earlier this month to the governor, urging him to sign a measure that would make medical marijuana easily accessible to children like their own.
"Please don't let my daughter die, Governor. Don't let my daughter die," Brian Wilson implored Gov. Christie on Wednesday.
"I was wondering what the holdup is. It's been like two months now," Wilson pressed the governor.
"These are complicated issues," Gov. Christie responded to Wilson.
"Very simple issue," the father shot back.
"No, I know you think it's simple…I know you think it's simple and it's not," Christie said.
At the end of their exchange, Christie told Wilson he'd decide in the coming days whether to sign the bill.
"I'll have a decision by Friday. I wish for the best for you, your daughter and your family and I'm going to do what I think is best for the people of the state," Christie told Wilson.
This soulless bully is who the Republican Establishment wants as their nominee. This encounter and the heartless response by the Obese Bully is a mirror into his evil soul.
Not content to brush off a father's concern for his daughter, Chris Christie at a RNC Luncheon once again attacks Rand Paul and Bobby Jindal.
Boston (CNN) – New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie planted himself firmly in the Republican Party's establishment wing Thursday with a pugnacious speech calling on his party to focus on pragmatism rather than ideology and crippling internal debates.
"We are not a debating society," Christie told a lunchtime audience at the Republican National Committees summer meeting in Boston. "We are a political operation that needs to win."
Some of Christie's remarks, relayed to a reporter by GOP officials who attended the closed-press event, were interpreted by many here as another jab at Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a potential rival for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.
Christie also appeared to rap Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, another potential White House hopeful who made headlines in January when he implored the GOP to "stop being the stupid party."
"I'm not going to be one of these people who goes around and calls our party stupid," Christie said, a startling remark given that Jindal and Christie work hand-in-hand as chairman and vice-chairman of the Republican Governors Association.
"We need to stop navel gazing," he added. "There's nothing wrong with our principles. We need to focus on winning again. There's too much at stake for this to be an academic exercise. We need to win and govern with authority and courage."
I would respect Chris Christie if he went after the scum of the Republican Party like Ann Coulter, Steve King or Rick Santorum. Instead like a coward he goes after Jindal and Rand Paul which shows his Evil nature. Paul and Jindal want to return the GOP to its Pre 1992 inclusive and tolerant roots. Christie is a tool of the Establishment which likes to play the straw man role to the Democrats. You best bet Chris Christie will not dare attack The Great Mother if they face off in 2016.
Chris Christie is follower of the Lucifer and his actions reveal his inner demonic nature. He may enjoy rewards in this life, but his soul will be in the inferno for eternity.
An Adviser to Rand Paul fires back at the Obese Bully.
Boston (CNN) – A top adviser to Rand Paul fired back at Chris Christie on Thursday after the New Jersey governor urged Republicans to focus their energies on winning elections instead of squabbling over ideology.
"So if I translate Gov. Christie correctly, we shouldn't be the party of ideas," Paul adviser Doug Stafford told CNN in an email. "We shouldn't care what we stand for or even if we stand for anything. We reject that idea. Content-free so-called 'pragmatism' is the problem, not the solution."
Rand Paul is not scared of the Evil Soulless Creep.
The Establishment loves this evil Overweight Lardakiss though.
Christie left no doubts in the minds of Republican leaders gathered here for the party's summer meeting that he will begin actively running for president after he wins the expected coronation in New Jersey this November.
The 168 members of the Republican National Committee are the party's establishment, and the governor grasped hard for the mantle of establishment favorite.
"He connects with this group," said Republican elder statesman Ron Kaufman. "This is his team."[….]
"He made the case for why he is electable, so you saw the foreshadowing of 2016," said Texas Republican chairman Steve Munisteri. "He didn't say he was running, but I took all that to mean, 'I'm going to run in 2016 and I've demonstrated a winning formula. If you want to win and don't just care about ideology, I'm your candidate.'"

Plug-in electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt have been getting a great deal of attention recently but one thing we haven't seen much of is images of EVs in winter weather. There is a good reason for that, electric vehicles can suffer a significant range reduction in cold weather.
Even the most advanced lithium ion batteries available today have only a tiny fraction of the energy density available from a gallon of liquid fuel like gasoline or diesel. That's why the 660 pound, 24 kilowatt-hour battery in the Leaf can barely provide the same roughly 100 mile range as about 20 pounds (approximately three gallons) of gasoline. The smaller 16 kWh (of which 10.6 kWh is usable) battery in the Volt offers about 25-50 miles of electric driving depending on the conditions.
Fuel economy has always been widely variable depending on the driving conditions and driving style and that is particularly true for EVs. Every major automaker producing an EV acknowledges that range will drop in cold weather. The question is why?
While internal combustion vehicles consume more fuel in cold weather for a number of reasons including increased aerodynamic drag from the low temperatures, no matter what the temperature, an engine always produces a lot of waste heat. The coolant used to manage engine temperatures always flows through a heat exchanger. When the mercury dips and drivers turn up the interior temperature, a flap is opened that allows air to flow through the heat exchanger and warm up. Other than the electrical load from a ventilation fan, there isn't any significant additional load on the engine when heating the car and fuel economy isn't really affected.
An electric vehicle on the other hand doesn't have this source of "free heat energy" (insofar as wasted energy can be considered free) so it has to use an electric resistance heating system. That heating system is drawing power directly from the battery and in turn reducing the driving range. In cold weather it can take about as much energy from the battery to heat the cabin as it does to propel the car at constant speed. That's why GM lists the Volt range as low as 25 miles in cold weather and as high as 50 miles in more moderate conditions. Similarly Nissan acknowledges that winter driving will bring the Leaf range down to the low 60 mile region.
Automakers have taken a number of steps to mitigate this problem but it will never go away completely. The Volt comes standard with heated seats because it takes significantly less energy to keep passengers comfortable when the heat is transferred directly to their backsides than it does to warm the entire cabin. Both the Leaf and Volt also feature the ability to preheat the car on a timer while it still plugged in to charge, thus using power from the grid and keeping the battery full. It takes less energy to maintain the temperature than it does to heat it up.
Electric vehicles still work very well in cold weather, they just can't do it as long and they will suffer more in terms of range than a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle.
