Richards Opens Campaign Office in Bowling Green
Kentucky's speaker of the house said his hometown is the heart of his campaign for governor.
Jody Richards is in Bowling Green, Ky., today announcing the opening of his local campaign office. Richards has represented Bowling Green in the Kentucky legislature since 1975. He's the longest serving speaker of the house in Kentucky history.
The Richards-Brown campaign also has offices in Louisville and Frankfort and plans to open a fourth in Lexington.
The Bowling Green office is located in the Green Tree shopping center on Fairview Avenue.
Congress Sifts Through E-mails About Firing U.S. Attorneys
Everyone knows e-mails can come back to haunt you. This morning, Congress is going over some 3,000 pages of justice department e-mails to see if there was any wrong-doing.
The e-mails talk about firing U.S. attorneys across the country.
Rich Pond Schools to Receive a Facelift
Preliminary designs for the new Rich Pond Middle and High Schools have been approved. Architects unveiled the plans for the new schools at Monday's school board meeting.
According to the drawings the two schools will actually be connected by a central kitchen that will serve food to both the high school and middle school students. Both schools will also be attached to a main auditorium.
Architect Kenny Stanfield said the timing of adding the new schools led to building them together.
"The idea of being able to have a middle school and a high school designed and built on the same site at the same time is what led us to look for ways to have shared items like the central kitchen, like the auditorium," Stanfield said.
The 325,000 square foot project will go out for bid in October 2007 and is expected to open in the fall of 2009.
Plano School Update
Meanwhile, the school board was also updated on the current status of Plano Elementary School.
That school is being built in order to lessen some of the overcrowding at Rich Pond Elementary.
"Right now the project is 'dried in' meaning the roof is complete. Windows are in place and now they are focusing on some of the interior finishes. They've started working on some of the base coats of paint in the various areas of the building," Stanfield said.
The school will feature a parent drop-off on one side of the building and a bus drop-off on the other.
Stanfield said work should be complete in July 2007.
We all know we're not supposed to discriminate based on race, color, creed or gender. But how many people make judgments based on a person's height?
It's called heightism, and there's even a push in one state to make height discrimination against the law.
He was good enough to be a cop and serve in the Army, but Matthew Campisi said some people treat him like a second-class citizen.
"What do people say to you? What do they call you?" Campisi said. "Well, I've been called a runt, a pip squeak; whenever somebody's mad at me the first thing that comes out of their mouth is 'that little, you know what'. That little what? That little ah,"
Campisi is a 5-foot-5 building inspector in Pensacola, Fla. He said, while some people may think twice about making fun of those who suffer from dwarfism, they think nothing of discriminating against someone who's merely short.
"People will definitely insult me and not feel any qualms about it, any problem with it," Campisi said. "It's so rampant, yet so invisible."
Ellen Frankel, at 4-feet-8.5-inches, said she faces heightism almost daily.
"A lot of, 'you can't have a child, you look like a child.' They will use you as an armrest," Frankel said.
This Massachusetts wife and mother of two, has enough stories to fill more than 250 pages in her new book, "Beyond Measure."
"Everybody wants to feel that they are seen in this world. Everybody wants a true sense of power, of being respected. And when they are hearing those comments from strangers and friends, it's hard," Frankel said.
All the jokes, the embarrassment, and the helplessness, has led some short people to commit or consider suicide. Frankel even said that things got that bad for her.
"It came close you know," she said. "I know for myself, it led to struggle with eating issues, and I know for many other women it has come out in similar ways."
For many it is painful to do something as simple as walk out the door every morning, to be confronted by a world that is taller and full of bad jokes. But the name calling only scratches the surface.
In a nation where the average male is 5 feet 9 or 69 inches and the average female is 5 feet 4 or 64 inches, measuring up is a constant struggle in life and in the workplace, where some say short people have a harder time moving up the corporate ladder or getting paid like their taller colleagues.
In a non-scientific speed dating experiment, conducted by CNN more than a year ago, some compelling evidence was found. Seven single men, equal in most ways except their height, set out to go on 20 dates in less than 90 minutes. The short men ended up with four matches, the tall men had nine.
But what's more when all the men were rated by the women the tall men received higher marks on who was more confident, or who would be a good leader or good provider.
Some lawmakers want to help out. Massachusetts would become only the second state, after Michigan, to offer this protection.
Campisi, who also heads the National Organization of Short Statured People, is not only hoping for more laws, but for a public more aware of the injury their jokes can inflict.
"When I look in the mirror I see a fully capable human being, somebody that, you know, deserves just as much respect as somebody taller," Campisi said. "You can see the little wind coming off the Summit of Everest."
Frankel, who takes her story to schools and conferences, has gained confidence by hiking around the world's highest peak. Mt. Everest, she said, is the great equalizer.
"It really didn't matter if they were 6 foot 4 or 4 foot 8," Frankel said.
There's been a sharp increase in the number of people with Alzheimer's disease, which supports some predictions of a future epidemic.
A new report from the Alzheimer's Association says: More than five million Americans are living with the disease. That's a 10 percent increase since 2002.
The report goes on to say: Unless scientists find a way to delay Alzheimer's more than seven million people will have it by the year 2030.
According to researchers, advances in treating heart disease and cancer are keeping people alive long enough to get Alzheimer's.
Update on the Contaminated Pet Food
Now, to the contaminated pet food, this has cat and dog owners across the country worried.
The FDA said it may have identified the ingredient which prompted the recall. It affects 60 million cans and pouches of pet food sold under dozens of different brand names.
At least ten pets have already died.
"I cried everyday. I felt so bad. You could just tell from the look in their eye that they needed something," pet owner Beth Calhoun said.
For Beth and Mike Calhoun the past two months have not been easy.
"It was pretty brutal. He just looked awful. He was crying and his eyes were glazed over, and I thought this just isn't right," Mike said. "And the same thing with Zoe - the cat. I looked at her when I came home one day and I said she's just not right."
Their dog, Angus, died in January. Zoe, their cat, also died a few weeks ago of kidney failure - both at the recalled pet food. FDA warns more pet owners may share the Calhoun's sad fate.
The recall of nearly 100 brands of pet food may be too late for some cats and dogs. The company Menu Foods said it started testing its product in late February, a week after receiving complaints. Of the 40-50 animals they tested seven died.
The ingredient wheat gluten may be to blame. It may have been contaminated with mold or another toxin. Vets said owners need to watch their pets closely.
"You'll see lethargy, increased urination, increased consumption of water and loss of appetite," Veterinarian Dr. Marty Becker said.
An important warning but too late for the Calhouns.
"You think, my gosh, I fed them that. Now I didn't know but you still live with a little bit of guilt there. And it's just real hard," Mike said.

Air conditioner repair store cautions users of issues that could arise with upcoming Oklahoma heat
With the heat expected to rise again tomorrow air conditioners across Green Country are working overtime.
And nothing is worse than having a broken unit in the middle of heat wave.
Evan's services say by 10 a.m. they had seven calls from customers with broken air conditioners.
"Preventative maintenance can go a long way, as long as you stay on top of them. I know there can be other issues as fare as attic ventilation a lot of older houses have leaky windows ... you can check your weather stripping on doors, make sure you don't have any windows leaking that is a big heat infiltration spot," said Tipton Evans, Evans Services.
Evans says keeping a clean filter and condenser is key to making sure your home stays cool.

I think I'll have coconut custard pie today. What kind will you be having? It is "Pi" day after all…
I happened to run across an ESPN program with Cris Carter on camera talking about NFL matters. Listening to him speak calmly and pointedly about the subject at hand in sentences that were amenable to diagramming, I wondered if his acquisition by ESPN was a step toward the network letting Emmitt Smith's time on the air dwindle to nothing. Time now to cue Paul McCartney:
"Let it be … let it be … let it be … let it be."
According to an ESPN report, the citizenry of Oklahoma City voted to approve a sales tax extension thereby creating a means of funding a $120M initiative to improve an existing arena and to build a practice facility in the hopes of luring an NBA franchise to town. A 1% sales tax was to expire sometime soon and this vote extends that tax for an extra year and a half. Interestingly, the local politicos in Oklahoma City are taking the tack that no new taxes were involved in the funding that might lure an NBA team to town – – and literally that is the case. However, since that sales tax was scheduled to expire and now the tax has been extended, one could just as rationally make the argument that an "extended tax" is a "new tax". At the most the difference between them is a distinction without a difference.
The team most folks think will be the one to move to Oklahoma City is the Seattle SuperSonics. In the past couple of weeks, local leaders in the private sector revealed a plan they have to spend $300M to modernize Key Arena in Seattle to keep the Sonics in town. Four high rollers in Seattle have pledged $150M of their money to this plan contingent on their ability to buy either the Sonics or another NBA team to house in the modernized facility.
The NBA Board of Governors will vote on issues surrounding all of this in April. On the table at the moment is a proposal to move the Sonics to Oklahoma City. Stand by for some old fashioned lobbying/politicking on this one…
Elliot Harris reported in the Chicago Sun-Times earlier this week that MLB Commissioner, Bud Selig, earned a salary of $15.06M for the baseball fiscal year that ended on October 31 2006. He also pointed out that the 2006 payroll for the Florida Marlins' team was less than Selig's salary.
Regardless of the fact that I think Bud Selig is under-appreciated as a commissioner for baseball or for any of the other major US sports, the fact that he made more money than did the entire Marlins' roster for the season is appallingly out of line.
I also read a blurb saying that Chan Ho Park was in the Dodgers' spring training camp. That leads to a very important question:
No matter how much testosterone driven aggression happens between the Yankees and the Rays this spring, the unalterable fact of baseball life is this:
Spring training games just do not matter at all.
Having said that, the fans in San Francisco might be permitted to generate a small measure of stomach acid over this piece of news. In a recent outing, Barry Zito yielded 8 runs in 3 2/3 innings to the KC Royals. By itself, that is an ERA of 19.6 and against the Royals that would have to be categorized as a "miserable outing". However, the news gets worse. That game lowered Zito's total ERA for the spring. Ouch!!!
In the European Champions League, top shelf soccer teams from all over Europe compete for a tournament championship. This year's tournament has reached the quarterfinals stage and there are four teams from the English Premier League still standing – and a fifth team, Everton, lost out on penalty kicks recently. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United remain alive in the tournament. In the 53 years this tournament has existed, never before have there been four teams from a single league still standing in the quarterfinals.
I read somewhere that Lindsey Lohan was ordered to work in a morgue as part of her sentencing for drunken driving. I have no idea if that sentence would stand up on appeal; but if the judge wanted her to be in a place of solitude and quiescence such that Ms. Lohan might reflect on her behaviors that lead to her driving while intoxicated, maybe he could sentence Ms. Lohan to take in a bunch of games in the opening round of the Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament coming up. She could have entire sections of the arena to herself and the noise level should not exceed a healthy stomach growl in those first round match-ups.
Bob Connolly writes a weekly sports round-up for The Bronx Times Reporter. Recently, he summarized the Klitschko/Ibragimov heavyweight championship bout in a way that summarizes just why boxing is a sport in serious eclipse:
"That fight was touted to be a unification bout that would return the Heavyweight Championship of the World to its one-time venerated high position. But to me, it was more hype than substance. I realize that the "big boys" could take you out with one punch, but that punch HAS TO BE THROWN. Klitschko only threw three or four right hands in seven rounds while Ibragimov stood right in front of him. I guess we were spoiled by Ali's, Frazier's, and Tyson's action packed rounds."
Finally, an item from Greg Cote in the Miami Herald:
"Parting thought: Congrats to Edgar Prado, who at Gulfstream this week became the 16th jockey to get 6,000 career victories. Cannot confirm a proud Prado said the accomplishment made him feel five feet tall."
But don't get me wrong, I love sports…

I recently read an online column which, as with my own efforts, dealt with movies. But after that the resemblances seriously broke down. In the column the author was gushing enthusiastically about the new Adam Sandler film: "Men, Women & Children".
There is a construction term which applies to correspondents such as this, and the term is "tool". After my gagging and choking had been brought under control it occurred to me that this was usually the time when I looked over the releases for the rest of the year, singling out particular titles for recommendation, discussion or howls of derisive laughter. I mean, if all the cinema world has to offer is Adam Sandler, then I say bring on the Apocalypse.
So saddle up, buckaroos.
Okay, pumpkins, the more I hear about this film the more I want to see it. Nowhere near an average superhero film (and consider how far we've come when I can use a phrase like that), Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's film deals with an actor trying to put together a Broadway stage play. Among his problems is the baggage he carries from having played the role of a costumed superhero. The film stars Michael Keaton (who doubtless brings more than a dollop of verisimilitude to the role), and it has already generated some serious critical buzz overseas . . . which, of course, means most of the people in this country won't understand it.
The Equalizer
Right off the bat I get warning bells in my head whenever a movie poster exhorts the audience to "experience the film in IMAX".
Uh huh. Right.
On the other hand, this does star Denzel Washington. It's based on the CBS television series from the late Eighties (in the days before the plague of "reality" shows thoroughly polluted the medium), and director Antoine Fuqua has demonstrated a watchable style on occasion. This could actually work, and it'd be nice to see Washington in action.
Young Son and I have been discussing this one, and we both have our reservations . . . and you know it means Serious Trouble when both Young Son and I look askance at a film. Yes, it's directed by Christopher Nolan.
But . . .
All the vibes I've been getting on this film leave me with a feeling that it's going to be 2014's answer to Cameron's "Avatar" (or Scott's "Prometheus"). In other words: a science-fiction film purposefully made for people who normally do not appreciate science-fiction. Yes, I know that's a bit confusing, but bear me out. Instead of being a honest SF film, "Interstellar" feels as if its emphasis is on wanting acceptance from the mainstream. Nolan's a good director, and he might pull this off, but this could turn out to be drearily pompous.
St. Vincent
Ever since seeing the trailer I have so been wanting to catch this film. Bill Murray playing a role which seems to have been tailor-made for him (and could further cement the fine reputation he's acquiring at this stage of his career). Here he's a drunken retiree who finds himself babysitting a 12-year-old neighbor boy. Subsequent humorous bonding ensues.
As good as Murray is the choice of Jaeden Lieberher as the 12-year-old who falls under Murray's tutelage. Not one of the overly smarmy hipsters from the John Hughes films (or the chronic bedwetters from the Spielberg films), the little I've seen of Lieberher conjures up ghostly memories of Barry Gordon from Fred Coe's "A Thousand Clowns". This could turn out to be my "must see" for the rest of the year.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies
The poster and trailer trumpet this as "the defining chapter".
Come again?
Obviously this is the defining chapter as far as the character of Bilbo Baggins is concerned. But compared to the War of the Rings? The War of the Last Alliance? The theft of the Silmarils? The Battle of the Five Armies is a mere smidgen on Tolkien's time scale.
This is not to say that the film won't be worth watching. Despite the problems I had with "The Desolation of Smaug", there could be some good moments here. And now we'll see if Peter Jackson can find life after Tolkien (or how long it'll take before he considers "The Silmarillion").
The Maze Runner
Another item which starts red lights blinking furiously in my cortex is the phrase "based on the best-selling novel". In this context it translates to mean: "we're hoping it'll turn out to be as profitable as Harry Potter".
Surprisingly enough, "The Maze Runner" is a "best seller" I've actually read, having encountered James Dashner's book in the library a few years ago. I found it to be an interesting SF thriller. Nothing near what I'd call a classic, but there might be an interesting film in the concept of young people finding themselves inexplicably trapped in a giant maze.
One possible problem? Wes Ball has never directed a feature film before. Obviously one has to start somewhere. But . . .
The Theory of Everything
Okay, pumpkins, here we've got a film directed by James Marsh ("Project Nim", "Man on Wire", etc.), starring Eddie Redmayne ("Les Miserables", "Powder Blue", etc.) and Felicity Jones ("The Tempest", "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", etc.) in a film about Stephen Hawking. What's not to like?
Okay, yeah I know. But I had you guys pegged as a more sophisticated audience and I'm sticking with my story.
Who is John Galt?
Criminy . . .
Herein we have an excellent example of the road to Hell being paved with good intentions. I had seen the first two "Atlas Shrugged" film installments . . . dreary, dreary, dreary. It is difficult, if not impossible, to turn fervent ideology into effective filmmaking. The trick is not to rely solely on dogma, but on narrative and memorable visuals. John Ford could film good ideology. Eisenstein and Riefenstahl managed unique takes on it. The wrong way to do this sort of thing, though, is to stridently push forward with the source material, spears lowered and eyes sharpened against every threat of apostasy. You don't end up with a film but, rather, with a dirge.
"Atlas Shrugged" could've become an interesting trilogy of films (King Vidor managed a flawed but interesting version of "The Fountainhead"). Regrettably, the project fell into the hands of True Believers who cared less about making a well-rounded piece of cinema, and more about delivering a sermon. The problem is that they'll finish the trilogy and nod in grim satisfaction, knowing that The Message had been sent out. The Faithful will genuflect before it and to Hell with the others.
I might've considered seeing this. But I draw the line at paying good money to watch a film with a cast that includes Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. I'll watch Adam Sandler before that happens.

min Correction: The Nation Only Down Slightly in Print Ad Sales, Up in Web
Thursday, November 11, 2010
We mistakenly reported in min on Nov. 8 that The Nation suffered a 29.5% decline in advertising pages from 2009 to 2010. In fact, the decline was only 5.2% (through Nov. 8). Unfortunately, our mathematical error in our ad-page boxscores was cited by The New York Times in a prominent article (also Nov. 8) as the worst performance this year for a weekly magazine tracked by min. Clearly this was not the case, and we regret our error. The correct numbers are below.
The Nation president Teresa Stack tells min that large display print ads, led by corporate, are +5.6% in 2010 and digital ads (Web banner ads, site wraps and email marketing) are +32.8%.
In The Nation's business plan, advertising is third in overall revenues, with subscriptions leading and, interestingly, donations second. "This reflects the continued support of the journalism we provide," says Stack, in referring to The Nation's investigative reporting and analysis of politics. "Our donations continued to rise with the Democrats in power."
With the Republicans getting control of the House of Representatives, Stack expects both donations and circulation to increase in 2011.

College Hockey:River Hawks Fly Past Huskies
UMass-Lowell's Hutton Outstanding in Goal
LOWELL, Mass. — In a rematch of last seasons Hockey East semifinal, Mass.-Lowell upended Northeastern, 3-1.
It was a hard fought game throughout with many power plays for both teams. UMass-Lowell, however, converted on two of their chances while Northeastern only had one goal on the man advantage.
For the River Hawks, netminder Carter Hutton was outstanding, only allowing one goal on 25 shots.
I thought our goalie played really, really well and gave us a chance to win the game, said UMass-Lowell coach Blaise MacDonald.
It was a penalty infested first period, where both teams had chances on the power play, but couldnt capitalize. Early on, Northeastern had more scoring chances, but Hutton stood tall, making some key saves.
The first period was really kind of a sparring match, there wasnt a lot of real quality chances in front of either net, said Northeastern head coach Greg Cronin.
Early in the second, UMass-Lowell broke through with a goal by Riley Wetmore – the first of his career – at 4:47 to take the 1-0 lead.
After sustained pressure from the River Hawks, Wetmore tipped a Ryan Blair shot that eluded Northeastern goaltender Chris Rawlings (30 saves).
"Ryan Blair had a shot on net and it was fortunate enough to hit me and went into the net, he said.
In the middle of the period Northeastern put together some good opportunities, but again Hutton was there to make the saves.
The third period went back and forth with both teams having excellent chances.
Northeasterns best scoring chance came when the Huskies were on the power play.
Huskies forward Garrett Vermeersch got the puck deep from his own end and sent a pass to Tyler McNeely who raced down the left side of the ice and shot the puck from the faceoff circle. McNeelys shot beat River Hawks goaltender Carter Hutton (24 saves) on the short side at 8:03.
Northeastern pulled the goaltender late in the third period and Paul Worthington scored an empty netter to secure the win at 19:16.
Cronin summarized his teams performance saying: We had the chances, we just couldnt seem to bury them. I thought their goalie was terrific, he had some huge saves.
It was a hard fought game for us, said MacDonald. I think Northeastern played really well. They played a really tough road game. Our special teams were pretty good tonight. We got a key power play goal and had some key [penalty] kills. I thought Northeastern had a real good game against us.
The River Hawks will be back in action next weekend with a home-and-home series against the Boston University Terriers. The next action for Northeastern is not until Friday Nov. 6 when they also face off against BU.

"Pekanbaru" Pekanbaru by mansionion
Pekanbaru Travel Guide: 31 reviews and 67 photos
Pekanbaru - literally means New Town or New Market - is the capital town of the Riau province in Central Sumatra, Indonesia.
Being the provincial capital, Pekanbaru is also the bigest town in the Riau province. The Sultan Syarif Kasim II airport in Pekanbaru is the province's main airport that serves flights to and from Pekanbaru, connecting the town and Riau province with other parts of Indonesia as well as major cities in the region. Pekanbaru is also a major gateway into Indonesia from Singapore which is 40 minutes away by air.
The discovery of oil in Riau in 1939 has made Pekanbaru a booming town. Undoubtedly, oil is the driving force behind the development of Pekanbaru and Riau with the presence of major world oil companies such as Chevron/Caltex and many others in the province. The creation of SIJORI (Singapore-Johor-Riau) growth triangle in the 1990s is set to develop Pekanbaru further with co-operation from the three neighbouring countries.
- Pros:The airport looks impressive :)
- Cons:I was there for just an hour in transit :(
- In a nutshell:Will try to come again to discover more of Pekanbaru

If you're a woman I find attractive, and you want a hug, then I'm not your guy. (Yeah, I know, women the world over are currently sobbing into their pillows.) Here's why.
I find you attractive. This means if you have your body up close to my body, I'm going to be aware that you're a sexual being, that you've got curves and soft bits that I find appealing. (If you find that thought shocking, tough luck.) I know some men will tell you that they're not aware of that sort of thing, and that their hugs are purely platonic, and it's even possible some of these fellows are telling the truth, but I'm not one of these guys. I'm aware.
This brings the issue of informed consent right to the fore. I think it's likely that most women would not want to hug me if they were fully aware of the nature of the psychosexual dynamic in play. But, even if that is not so, and only a few women would be deterred, a cautionary principle is in force: you have to be sure you have informed consent for close physical contact, especially if it has an attached sexual frisson, and given that people don't tend to see hugging as being sexualized (and, yes, yes, I know, lots of people will claim that it is not – don't believe them, I say), I don't know that I have informed consent, so I can't take the risk. This means I don't hug women. (If you're a man, it's normally very easy to avoid being hugged. Body language is your friend. Also being a misanthropic recluse helps.)
A few points of clarification here.
1. Obviously, if you experience no sexual frisson when hugging somebody you find attractive, then there's no issue here, assuming you have consent (however that is communicated). But don't kid yourself about it just because you want to get your arms around somebody you find alluring.
2. I'm not talking here about men and women who are enjoying an encounter that is by its very nature obviously sexualized (whether it be a fleeting encounter or whatever) – then it's a different ball game (because one can assume that both parties are aware of the sexual dynamic, etc). But again, don't kid yourself about it just because you want to get a thrill.
3. There are some female friends I will hug (almost always at their instigation). But only if they know perfectly well that I find them attractive, and that I'm aware of their sexuality, etc. (Oddly enough, this knowledge hasn't put them all off – hurrah!). Obviously, the better you know somebody, the more open and intimate your relationship, the more likely it is that this will be the case.
4. This is not a plea for a conservative sexual morality. As far as I'm concerned, the world would be a much better place if people were not hung up about sex and bodies and monogamy, and spent their time shagging left, right and center. But unfortunately we don't live in that world, and informed consent is crucial – for Kantian reasons, if nothing else.
5. There are risks here of infantilizing women. I'm aware, of course, that women are quite capable of making their own choices about the people they want to hug. The worry here isn't about women not being able to make choices. It's about the possibility they don't have access to all the information necessary to make an informed choice. Of course, it's also true that people aren't going to be naive about the dynamics in play here (and there will often be behavioural clues if a man is deliberately seeking a sexual thrill in a hug). But again, a cautionary principle has to hold sway.
6. Male and female sexuality is not identical (on average, etc). This means the situation is different in the other direction (though not as a matter of principle).
7. Yes, of course – there are exceptions to this general rule. If somebody is in distress, for example, or whatever – there clearly are occasions where the sexual aspect just isn't obviously in play, and in those situations the moral calculus is different.
8. And just because there has been a lot of talk in a less salubrious corner of the internet about sexual harassment policies, I should say this is not an argument either for or against such a thing. That's a different issue (though obviously not entirely divorced from these sorts of observations).
I realise this all sounds rather pious, so… well, sorry about that! I blame Kant.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — A Romanian princess and her husband are apparently among several people federal agents arrested in Eastern Oregon Thursday in connection with a cockfighting ring.
Indictments unsealed in US District Court in Portland charge Irina Walker, 60, and her husband John Wesley Walker, 67, with hosting cockfighting derbies and illegal gambling at their ranch outside the small Morrow County town of Irrigon.
The Oregonian newspaper identified Irina Walker, also known as Irina Kreuger, as a daughter of the last king of Romania.
The indictment said 10 different cockfighting derbies were held at the Walkers' ranch between April 2012 and April 2013, bringing in as much as $2,000 a day. Blades were attached to the birds' legs, spectators were charged admission, and food and drink were sold, the indictment said.

Halloween Flight Fright Nights at Both National Air and Space Museum Sites

The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum doubles the spooky fun this year with Halloween-themed evening programs at its flagship building in Washington and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Va.
On Thursday, Oct. 26, the building on the National Mall hosts "The Dark Side of the National Air and Space Museum," featuring bizarre and puzzling tales of aviation and space exploration. Visitors will howl as staff and volunteers recount the Great Moon Hoax of 1835, the obsessions of Howard Hughes, the hallucinations of astronomer George Ellery Hale, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and other haunted headlines. The program begins at 6 p.m. throughout the building.
At 7:30 p.m. in the Lockheed Martin Theater, special guest Marc Okrand describes how he created the Klingon language featured in Star Trek motion pictures and television programs. Okrand will be on hand afterward to autograph his popular books on the subject.
The Udvar-Hazy Center hosts the museum's second annual "Air & Scare" beginning at 4 p.m.on Saturday, Oct. 28. Spectacular stories from the stratosphere and beyond will haunt the aviation and space hangars, along with a host of hands-on activities. The youngest visitors will enjoy hearing the true tale of space spider Anita and get to make their own orbital arachnid to take home. There also will be a special free screening of "Wallace and Gromit in a Grand Day Out" in the IMAX theater, plus free simulator rides, a dress-up corner, face painting and Halloween bags filled with goodies. Close encounters with the moon come courtesy of powerful telescopes set up outside the Udvar-Hazy center. Parking at the facility is free after 4 p.m.
Admission to both events is free but reservations are required and can be made through the museum Web site, www.nasm.si.edu. Attendees are encouraged to come in their favorite flight-themed costume.
"The Dark Side of the National Air and Space Museum" and "Air & Scare" are made possible through the generous support of Masterfoods USA.
The museum's Mall building is located at Sixth Street and Independence Avenue S.W. The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center is located off of Route 28 near Washington Dulles International Airport. Both facilities open daily at 10 a.m. (Closed Dec. 25.) Admission is free, but there is a $12 fee for parking at the Udvar-Hazy Center before 4 p.m.

Moose are hunted primarily for their meat. Moose hunting is a privilege that has been enjoyed by many people for generations. It is an experience that is often exciting, enjoyable and rewarding. It can also be frustrating, challenging and disappointing. This book provides valuable information about equipment, methods of hunting and first-hand accounts of moose hunting in Ontario and Quebec.
Deep River area is unique in that hunting and fishing remain a way of life for many locals. It is from here that Stefan and his hunting partner, Vladimir, planned and executed memorable hunting trips into Northen Ontario and the Quebec wilderness.

Reviews for Slow-Cooked Pork Loin
"Nan Mock - My goodness, you gave a 4 star rating for not using the recipe here! What gives?"
"I used this recipe to help me cook my pork loin in the slow cooker, I wasn't sure it would be a good cut to cook that way. The loin was pre-seasoned with southwest seasonings, so I didn't use the apple juice or sauce, just some chicken stock instead. I did the sear first in the skillet. After about 4 hours on low, it was cooked through, tender and easy to shred for tacos!"
"I was apprehensive about this recipe with the apple juice and sauce, but it turned out with really great flavor. I made some carrot sticks and placed in the bottom before adding the roast and it turned out great. I will definitely be making it again."
"Great, and easy recipe Let the slow-cooker do all the work, but why do you cut in half?"
"My family loves this pork. It's so tender and makes great pulled pork sandwiches the next day. Nice flavors."

Discovery's launch is scheduled for 3:49 p.m. EDT Saturday. Discovery's STS-121 mission will return the station to three crew members for the first time since 2003, when European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Reiter joins crew members Jeff Williams, flight engineer and Pavel Vinogradov, commander. To get ready for upcoming STS-121 spacewalks, the crew flushed cooling loops in the Quest airlock and U.S. spacesuits, configured airlock systems and tools, and reviewed robotic arm procedures. They checked out a ship-to-ship communications system that will be used for conversations with Discovery's crew during rendezvous and disconnected the station's Common Cabin Air Assembly heat exchanger. That device will be returned to Earth aboard Discovery along with other equipment in the Italian-built Leonardo Multipurpose Logistics Module. Discovery will bring about 5,000 pounds of supplies to the station carried aboard the logistics module.
The crew also completed a mid-mission session of the renal stone experiment by collecting urine samples and logging all of the food and drinks consumed over a three-day period. Each crewmember is taking either potassium citrate, a drug found to be useful in preventing kidney stone formation on Earth, or a placebo. Crews in space are at risk for kidney stones linked to their loss of bone density.
ISS Progress 22, the unpiloted Russian cargo spacecraft, brought 2.5 tons of fresh produce, other foodstuffs, food, fuel and supplies to the station June 26. After the cargo ship was fully connected with station systems, flight controllers in Moscow completed a routine thruster test and Vinogradov removed its Kurs automated rendezvous hardware.

dragon slime transformation p3 by nesiseWatch
©2011-2016 nesise
His body grows like a snake. And he transformed himself into an Asian dragon. Finally the foot of the human being part who stayed is absorbed to slime.
This is *really*well done, thanks for your efforts! If you ever feel inspired to do another one like this in the future, may I make a suggestion? How about instead of a guy, its a busty girl with long legs? And in the process of being assimilated, the slime can only make it to her waist, and no father, leaving the dragon with a pair of human female legs? And: her big boobs move up to the dragon's upper torso, along with her arms and hands? Just a thought... Again, thanks for your efforts! - Paula

Has a feud between Adel Karam and his wife led him to abandoning their newborn son?
Has Lebanese actor Adel Karam abandoned his wife and newborn baby? Some say it's true, others disagree. But what we know as true for sure is that the actor and his wife Rita Hanna cannot agree on anything in their relationship.
The couple got hitched in early 2013, but continuous fighting between the two has led to the decision of getting divorced.
As for their one-and-a-half old baby, it's rumored that Adel has abandoned his son, who has apparently been in hospital since his birth.
Close friends to the couple have said that Adel has stopped visiting his baby and is not paying his hospital bills either. My, oh, my! The disturbed father is said to have also moved out of his marital home.
But Adel denied all the accusations thrown at him. The actor spoke out on the talk show "Bikhsoos Hal Shi" (In Regards to that Matter), where he told everyone of his great love to his son, assuring people that he is paying for his medical bills as well.
The statement made by Adel infuriated Rita, who vowed to break her silence by taking on to Twitter and tweeting: "If you don't stop with all those lies, I will tell it all. I'm only still quiet for the sake of our son Sharbil." Well, there you have it! Things are clearly out in the open now.
Sharbil has since his birth undergone two open heart surgeries at the American University Hospital in Beirut and is currently held in the Intensive Care Unit. His condition is very critical, but is said to be gradually improving.
Who do you think is telling the truth out of Adel and Rita?

The 26-year-old Milford man suspected of burglarizing a local car dealership and then injuring a state trooper while escaping was extradited to Delaware Aug. 27 and formally charged.
Darrell R. Putnam was charged with first-degree assault of a police officer, second-degree burglary, attempted theft of $1,500 or more, criminal mischief of $5,000 or more, resisting arrest with force and criminal mischief of $1,000 but less than $5,000.
He was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 2 and committed to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center on a $48,000 secured bond.
On Aug. 11, Putnam attempted to remove a safe from Hertrich Nissan at 1378 S. Dupont Highway near Milford, and injured a responding Delaware State police trooper in his attempt to flee the premises, said DSP spokesman Master Cpl. Gary Fournier.
Putnam also struck two other vehicles before fleeing the scene, Fournier said. The injured trooper was transported to Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital and treated for a fractured left foot, Fournier said.
Two days after the incident, Putnam was taken into custody by the Downingtown Police Department and was incarcerated in a Chester County Detention Center in Pennsylvania until his extradition to Delaware.

With only a few leering looks from other soldiers, Sgt. Dukkette had managed to sneak Beryl into his dormitory room in the Imperial garrison. While Beryl used the refresher to clean herself up, Penni found her some decent clothes to replace her shredded ones. She wasnt very pleased with his efforts.
You call
decent clothing? Beryl said to Penni. She held up the green dress he had given her, then shoved it back to him. You can practically see right through it!
Penni chuckled. It will look different when you put it on, he said, shoving it back to her. Besides, beggars cant be choosers. I borrowed that from next door. It belonged to a well, it was left by a erm
Beryl held up her hand. Dont even say it, she warned, giving him a dirty look. I get the picture. She shoved the dress back to him. Whats wrong with getting me a pair of trousers and a tank-shirt?
'Cause those are mens clothes, Penni said to her. He eyed her over appreciatively. And this is Theed. Fashion counts here, you know. He shoved the dress back to her again.
, she held up the dress in his face, is hardly what I would call fashion.
Oh, just put it on, he said irritably. Trust me. Youll look nice.
Ill look like a.... She paused, then sighed. Look, I just dont want to be that noticeable, okay? she said, starting to get flustered. I like being plain and unnoticed.
Penni laughed. Well, the dress is all I have to offer. But, youll be less noticeable in that, than in what you have on. Plus, it wont chafe your wounds, he added, with an amused grin.
Beryl glared at him. Fine. As I dont appear to have a choice, Ill wear it. She stared at him. Well? Turn around or leave the room or something!
Theres nothing you have that I havent seen before in some other shape or form.
Yeah? Well its my shape and form, so , she waved her hand at him, naff off!
Penni snorted. All this and I dont even get a peek for my efforts, he grumbled as he turned his back while she changed. Let me know if you need any help with the buttons.
I can manage.
You sure? He waited a few moments in silence, listening to her struggle.
Okay, I might need a little help, she conceded. Damn shoulder . she griped.
Penni grinned as he turned around. Wow, he said, appreciatively taking in her appearance. Maybe I was wrong. Think you will get noticed.
Just shut up and do up the buttons, will you? she said dryly.
Yes, maam, he said smoothly.
Veni, Vidi, Velcro. (I came, I saw, I stuck around)

Carnival of souls: special "Sean Nerd Crack" edition
* I have a Twitter now. I'm @theseantcollins. I hope you like Primus lyrics, because that's what you're getting.
* As mentioned earlier, I've also created Fuck Yeah, T-Shirts, a new tumblelog dedicated to pictures of people wearing t-shirts I like. I'm pleased to welcome my friend and Twitter deity Ryan Penagos aboard as my partner in this venture. We're off to a good start:
* Sean Nerd Crack Part 1: Tim O'Neil discusses the career of David Bowie in terms of Batman. This post is one Hellraiser reference away from making my face fall off.
* Sean Nerd Crack Part 2: Curt Purcell discusses torture porn, also in terms of Batman--Knightfall, to be specific. It was at this point that I wondered if I'd actually woken up this morning. Best of all, like Tim's Bowie/Batman post, this is just the first in a series.
* Sean Nerd Crack Part 3: Taste the rainbow of San Diego Comic Con-exclusive Green Lantern action figures!
* Sean Nerd Crack Part 4: I can't imagine actually spending my and my wife's collective hard-earned money on a G.I. Joe: The Complete Series box set, but I sure can imagine staring at this picture of it for hours at a time. This is like the nerd answer to that Fort Thunder collection I linked to yesterday.
* Sean Nerd Crack Part 5: China Mieville defends J.R.R. Tolkien and holy shit this part reads like I wrote it myself seriously I raised my hands up and cheered:
In his abjuring of allegory, Tolkien refuses the notion that a work of fiction is, in some reductive way, primarily, solely, or really 'about' something else, narrowly and precisely. That the work of the reader is one of code-breaking, that if we find the right key we can perform a hermeneutic algorithm and 'solve' the book. Tolkien knows that that makes for both clumsy fiction and clunky code.YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
And in his five-point defense of the entirety of Tolkien's work, one entry is "The Watcher in the Water." I mean, seriously, am I in some kind of psychogenic fugue? (Via The One Ring.)
* Back on the Batman beat, The Mindless Ones' The Beast Must Die talks about Morrison & Quitely's Batman & Robin #1 in terms of all the things that have defined his involvement with Batman over the years: the Adam West TV show and its theme song, Tim Burton's first blockbuster Batman film and its t-shirts and Prince soundtrack and Danny Elfman score, Frank Miller's ever-evolving Bat-mythology from The Dark Knight Returns to the years-ahead-of-its-time The Dark Knight Strikes Again to All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder...it doesn't quite track my own involvement with Batman in every particular (I didn't read comics as a kid, I wasn't into Batman before the movie), but it's close enough to give me chills.
* There's a really robust discussion of the role of the divine in Battlestar Galactica, and the role that role played in the reception of the series' conclusion, going on in the comment thread downblog.
* Geoff Grogan announces he's secured a grant to produce Look Out! Monsters #2! Though it probably won't be called that. LO!M #1 was a terrific book.
* Elsewhere, and I missed this somehow when it went up back in March, Geoff pans BJ and Frank Santoro's Cold Heat--a rare reaction indeed, and he pulls no punches.
* Speaking of the PictureBox gang and pulling no punches, I also somehow missed this comment-thread roundelay about artists/critics reviewing works with which their own work may compete, featuring such luminaries as Gary Groth (!), Dan Nadel, Tom Spurgeon, Tim Hodler, Jeet Heer, and Rob Clough. The nice thing about the debate is that there are plenty of clear examples and apples-to-apples comparisons cited for us to work with. Should Dan Nadel review Craig Yoe's Boody Rogers anthology, given that Dan has himself anthologized Boody Rogers? Should Gary Groth review Denis Kitchen's R. Crumb publications, given that Gary has himself published R. Crumb? Should Tom Spurgeon review Mark Evanier's Jack Kirby book, given that Tom is himself working on a Jack Kirby project? Should Tom critique comics news blogs Bleeding Cool or Journalista, given that Tom is himself a publisher of a comics news blog?
I understand where Tom is coming from here--there's something potentially icky about this idea. (Icky and yucky are perfectly acceptable words for grown-ups to use, Gary!) But the key there is "potentially." As long as the context is proffered, who ultimately cares? I don't see why the situations above, or comparable ones, rule out criticism in a way that being socially friendly with the creators or publishers involved doesn't, or having worked with them or for them doesn't, and on and on and on. Granted, I sort of have a dog in this race: In the past year, and in some cases on an ongoing basis, I have written for DC, Marvel, Wizard, Top Shelf, and Fantagraphics, as well as The Savage Critic(s), The Comics Reporter, and Comic Book Resources, not to mention The Onion and Maxim and wherever the hell else. I like to think that these facts shouldn't preclude me from writing about the work produced by any of those outlets, as long as I'm up front about it, which, hey, look at that sidebar to your left. Then again I'm sure others totally disagree.
Moreover, I disagree with Tom insofar as I'm more interested in reading the criticism of a direct competitor, in some ways at least, than I am in reading the criticism of an uninvolved third party. Why wouldn't I want to hear what new-media music pioneer Trent Reznor thinks about new-media music pioneer Radiohead's new-media music pioneering? Or what Spirit comic-book guy Darwyn Cooke thinks about Spirit movie guy Frank Miller's Spirit? Or what Boody Rogers expert Dan Nadel thinks about Boody Rogers expert Craig Yoe's Boody Rogers anthology? Or what fantasy author China Mieville thinks about fantasy author J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy? Or what comics reporter Tom Spurgeon thinks about other people's comics reporting? And on and on and on. It's the commonality of interest, experience, and expertise that makes these perspectives valuable. Even if said commonality may cut off avenues of exploration that a disinterested observer may have access to, it surely must open up some others that such an observer doesn't. Sure, there's potentially an element of armchair-quarterbacking at least and score-settling/sour grapes at worst, but honestly, isn't that part of the fun? We can take what they're saying with the requisite grains of salt, as we should when we read any piece of criticism.
(Phew! Original link way back there somewhere via Chris Mautner.)
* David Lynch releasing a rock album recorded during the Fire Walk With Me soundtrack sessions? Sure, I'll eat it.
* Here's a 12-minute preview of Ron Moore's new movie/series/whatever Fox wants it to be Virtuality. I haven't watched it yet--I hope it's good! (Via SciFi Wire.)
* Darkseid Minus New Gods. I threw my arms up and cheered for this, too. (Via Kevin Melrose.)

The winter vomiting bug that struck down about 1.19 million people this year started in Australia, health experts say.
14:21, UK, Wednesday 09 January 2013
A new strain of norovirus, which spread from Australia, is responsible for the majority of recent cases, health experts have said.
The new variant of the bug, called Sydney 2012, has become the "dominant strain", officials said.
In October, when the number of cases started to increase, the Health Protection Agency (HPA) performed genetic testing on norovirus strains in England and Wales.
They found a "cocktail of different strains" that were circulating around the population.
However, recent analysis has shown that Sydney 2012 - first identified in Australia last year - has overtaken all others to become the dominant strain responsible for most of the recent cases in England and Wales.
Health officials said that Sydney 2012 has also been identified by health experts in France, New Zealand and Japan, but does not cause any worse symptoms than other strains.
The HPA said there have been 4,140 laboratory-confirmed cases of norovirus so far this season - but for every reported case, an estimated 288 are not flagged up.
This means as many as 1.19 million people could have contracted the illness this winter - a 63% rise on the previous year.
Dr David Brown, director of Virology Reference Department at the HPA, said: "It is always difficult to predict the norovirus season and this year is no different.
"Noroviruses mutate rapidly and new strains are constantly emerging."
There is no specific treatment for norovirus infection other than to let the illness take its course, with symptoms usually lasting around two days.
"Keeping hydrated is very important and you can take over-the-counter medicines to relieve headaches and aches and pains," added Dr Brown.
Norovirus is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces and objects.
Symptoms include sudden vomiting, diarrhoea, or both, a temperature, headache and stomach cramps.

The 30 Most Badass Guitarists of All Time
Born July 23, 1965 (Slash); April 8, 1962 (Izzy)
Band Guns N' Roses
Iconic Guitar 1985 Gibson Les Paul Standard (Slash); Gibson ES-175 (Izzy)
Coolest Riff "Welcome to the Jungle" — Appetite for Destruction
Rock music has produced some memorable tandem guitar teams: Keef and Ronnie, Angus and Malcolm, Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing to name a few.
But Slash and Izzy Stradlin, with the original lineup of Guns N' Roses, have to go down as one of the coolest duos ever. Gutter rats Slash and Izzy had just enough yin and yang going on to provide the color and contrast that made them more than the ordinary lead and rhythm guitar team.
Both loved similar bands, like Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin, but Izzy's tastes leaned more toward groove-oriented bands like the Rolling Stones and the Doors, with a healthy dose of punk rock thrown in, while Slash loved guitar heroes like Michael Schenker and Jeff Beck.
The combination of Slash's rough-edged pyrotechnic solos and Izzy's raw power chords and off-kilter rhythms resulted in an unusual mish-mash with massive crossover appeal that metalheads, punks, glam poseurs, pop fans and classic rockers loved alike. Slash and Izzy also made vintage guitars cool again, strapping on Gibson Les Pauls, Telecasters and ES-175 hollowbodies when most guitarists were playing DayGlo superstrats, pointy metal weapons or minimalist headstock-less Stein-bortions.
Balding guitar players also have Slash and Izzy to thank for making hats fashionable rocker attire during a time when big hair was all the rage.

SCR: In that same vein, are team owners like yourself, Richard Childress, and Andy Petree-guys who worked their way up in the sport-a vanishing breed?Carter: I hope not. I think it's important for the sport to maintain that. There's no loyalty in this industry, in my opinion. But I think the people who run the organization-the France family-still like to see some of their worker bees strive for the top and maintain strong roots for the thing.
SCR: That's good for the health of the sport, isn't it?Carter: I think it probably is, because there's a relationship and camaraderie there that they've developed over the years. People just coming in fresh from the outside and starting at the top have a different view of things. It's harder to be a part of the family, so to speak. There are some great people coming in. I'm not knocking them, because some have been a strong asset to the sport. Take Joe Gibbs-I mean, this guy has been tremendous for this sport, and you like to see people like that.
SCR: The bottom line is, if you have good character, you're going to be an asset anywhere. Would you agree?Carter: If you're good people, in my opinion you're welcome here.
SCR: Compare winning the Winston Cup title in 1973 with Benny Parsons to what it means to a team to win it today.Carter: That's a hard comparison for me. From a personal level, I've got to think that it was probably worth a lot more in 1973 for our group than it would be for a group that wins it today. It's probably harder to win it today than it was then. Sometimes I think you're just lucky; there's a lot of luck in this thing. But luck comes from hard work and being prepared and not making mistakes. I tell you, when the green flag flies to start the Daytona 500 until the checkered flag falls on that last event, that is a strained and stressful situation, every day and every week, and not only at the track. When you go to the shop you have to be preparing for, and your thoughts and focus have to be on, that championship. Everybody in that place has got to have that focus and say, 'Hey, we've got to do this.' Your mindset is 'we've got to have that perfect weekend,' and you have to expect that every week.
SCR: You had your first full season as an owner in 1990. How has the sport changed in those 12 years?Carter: Well, it takes probably six to seven times as much money as it did. Things have changed. The competition level has driven that up some. Some teams are capable of raising the technology to a CART level or beyond, but not at a Formula 1 level. I think controlling that end of it is something NASCAR has done. I think it's a wise thing, that they've kept their business affordable. Yeah, we can talk about how expensive it is and make it sound like it's not affordable, but it's still affordable compared to other forms of motorsports. They've managed the growth, they've managed the competition, and they've managed the construction and the development and the running of the cars, all to control costs.
SCR: What does it take to run a full season today?Carter: These things range anywhere from $8 million to $12 million.
SCR: What would you change about the sport if given the power to change something?Carter: It's easy to sit here and think maybe I would want to change something, but when you get down to it and analyze it thoroughly, I'm not sure that I could recommend changing anything. I would only say that (I would make changes) if it was something personal, and I've always tried not to look at this thing from a personal view. I try to look at it from a business view and how it affects everybody across the board. Yeah, it's easy to be selfish, but I don't think it's wise to be selfish in that regard.

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE ; 13 March 1839; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18390313-TC-MAC-01; CL 11: 55-56
Chelsea, Wednesday [13 March 1839].
My dear Mother,
A Letter is going off for Alick, on occasion of some correspondence about George Elliott's going out to New S. Wales.1 I have hastily told Alick what "nothing" there was to tell: but the Frank must not go without a fraction of a word to you, this smallest fraction any man need wish to write. It marks my wishes, and nothing more.
Your good Letter arrived here before mine had got out of London:2 many thanks to you for it! You should not be so shy of writing; you should not be so dead swear [very reluctant], for there are hundreds on hundreds that do it not so well. I am very sorry for your cold and toothache; it is no wonder such things overtake you in such a season: but I beseech you, dear Mother, use all diligence to take care of yourself, to keep warm at any rate. Were this month done, one may hope it will be better for us all.— Do you often go over to Ecclefechan, to have a craik [gossip] with Sandy? You should not sit continually at home, when there is a blink of fair weather.
Poor Jamie and Isabella must have had a sorrowful time of it all this winter, she in such distress and disablement. They must stand by one another, and hold out the best they can. I do trust the Spring will restore the poor Isabella, and then all will be right again. I never hear how Jamie's crop suits with him this year; or how he fends at all. He is the laziest of writers.
You ask me about Annandale for summer; and give me token of the old welcome I never failed of from you since I came into this world. We will hope the best, dear Mother, but it is all unsettled yet, as Alick will more fully explain. I must beg our affectionate remembrances to Annan, to Dumfries. Jane and her Mother are both pretty well now; they both send you their love. Adieu, my dear Mother. I expect to be writing again soon ere long. Good be ever with you. Your affectionate
[T.] Carlyle

CLEVELAND (AP) - Wide receiver Kevin Johnson agreed to terms on a four-year, $13.85 million contract extension Saturday with the Cleveland Browns, just days after the team gave his agent permission to shop around.
Johnson, who was eligible to become a free agent after this season, also will receive a $3.5 million signing bonus.
Johnson has been the favorite target of Tim Couch in his first three seasons. He ignored trade rumors last season and became the Browns' top offensive weapon with 84 receptions for 1,097 yards and nine touchdowns.

Petco 2013
Petco Distribution Center #528 and Orkin:
Mira Loma Facility Honored for Company's Fifth IPM Partner Award
Petco is a specialty retailer of premium pet food, supplies, services and companion animals. As a leader in its industry, the company firmly believes life is better with a pet, and that pet-owner bonds enrich lives, strengthen communities and make the world a healthier and happier place. At the heart of all of this is Petco's focus on sustainable business practices, as well as high food safety and sanitation standards that are of the utmost importance at its distribution centers.
Located in Mira Loma, Calif., Petco's Distribution Center #528 has partnered with Orkin for five years to help maintain a pest-free warehouse, which is where their high quality pet food brands are stored. Petco sells only dog and cat food that meets the Petco Certified Nutrition standards, carrying a wide variety of natural and organic pet food. Petco Distribution Center #528's commitment to quality pet food products translates into its quality pest management program, which received a 2013 IPM Partner Award, presented by Orkin, The IPM Institute of North America and NSF.
To learn more about the pest management program's success at Petco Distribution Center #528, we spoke with Senior Vendor Compliance Manager Kristyn Grandys, who oversees all 10 of Petco's distribution centers around the country. Here is an edited transcription of that interview.
Why do you think your facility won this award?
The reason we won this award is two-fold. First, it's due to the partnership Petco leadership and associates have formed with Orkin. Second, the overall engagement and understanding that Orkin has displayed towards Petco's robust food safety program has allowed both parties to work together to achieve the same goal, a pest-free environment.
Why is IPM so important to your facility?
IPM is important in our distribution centers because our goal is to deliver products on time to our customers, both damage- and pest-free, and the IPM program helps us achieve our goal for a pest-free environment. Our pest management program helps identify any conditions at our facility that may attract pests and allows us to put a quick stop to pest activity that we discover. This in turn allows us to keep pests from affecting our entire supply chain, and as a result, we have achieved high satisfaction with store management and customers.
What results have you seen from your partnership with Orkin?
Our associates are more engaged in food safety and sanitation issues at our distribution center due to Orkin providing IPM training for our team. With all of our associates playing a more involved role, this has been extremely beneficial, and we have become more knowledgeable about how we can protect our facility, products and environment. In addition, we have improved the efficiency of our inbound shipment monitoring procedures to prevent pest activity at the outset.
Why do you continue to work with Orkin?
We know that Orkin is completely on board with everything we're doing at our distribution centers. Each Orkin team member, from our technician to the region manager and quality assurance team, is highly engaged with the facility. This program has proven to be a huge benefit in regard to educating our leadership and associates on food safety, and we hope we will only continue improving with Orkin's guidance.
