Hannah Sabata's claim in the Chick Bank Robber video that she stole $6k alerts Nebraska police to her possible criminal activity.
14:23, UK, Tuesday 04 December 2012
A YouTube video has landed a 19-year-old woman from eastern Nebraska in jail.
Hannah Sabata from Stromsburg filmed herself boasting about stealing a car and then robbing a bank.
The video shows her holding handwritten signs detailing her alleged crime.
She holds up car keys, saying: "My new car is shiny. Of course I already took the plates off."
Later she shows a sign that reads "then I robbed a bank with a gun, a pillow case and a note".
She then holds a large bundle of cash in front of the camera.
Unfortunately for Sabata, her description and the clothes she is wearing in the video matched details of a robbery the day before at the Cornerstone Bank branch in nearby Waco.
York County Sheriff officers arrested her the same day the video was posted.
She is now facing robbery and theft charges.
The YouTube video will be turned over as evidence in the case.

text: I knew it would come but I hate to see it happen. I will probably not be shopping so much at Kroger and shopping more at Target and Knights. I heard they never really lowered prices after doing away with double coupons. They said on tv here that the new lower prices would be more fair to everybody and not just the couponers. I don't see how it is our fault that we get good deals but the people that don't have time to clip coupons don't get good deals. That is what it sounded like on tv this morning.

The Ark of San Juan animal-rescue group is seeking an adoptive home for Donnie and Dolly, nicknamed the "Ninja Twins."
"They are athletic little purr babies who do everything together," according to Ark volunteer Georgann Elliott. "They are also quite striking with their bold silver and black tabby markings."
Donnie and Dolly were born July 31 and raised in a foster home. Because of their bond, The Ark is looking for a single home for both.
Donnie is neutered and Dolly will be spayed, The Ark says. Both are current on vaccinations.

The study of science and medicine is quickly learning the impact your mental state has on your physical state. It is all interconnected. You, like every other person on the planet, have challenges to face and overcome. Some challenges are short term and merely an aggravation. Some challenges are much longer and take more strength to endure. Regardless of your challenges, know that nothing lasts forever and issues do not disappear without your active approach to handle them directly.
There are a lot of "junk" e-mails that come to us every day. But, once in awhile, you can find one that makes a positive impact on you and is worth reading each day. Peaceful Daily is one of those mails worth reading.
A couple of days ago, the 10 Invitations was listed and it is a great list to print and post where you can remind yourself everyday what you can do for your happiness and well-being. Perhaps one of these invitations will resonate with you and will remind you that you always can choose to accept the invitation for your well-being.
1. You are invited to love yourself, others, and life without condition-trusting that, in an evolving Universe, everything is unfolding perfectly.
2. You are invited to live fearlessly and passionately.
3. You are invited to do whatever makes your heart sing and your spirit dance. Only that.
4. You are invited to treat yourself and others with extraordinary respect and kindness.
5. You are invited to honor everyone else's beliefs, feelings, values and choices-knowing these add to the variety of life and that everyone's path is unique.
6. You are invited to honor the Earth, your body and all creation as sacred and divine.
7. You are invited to choose your own mission or purpose, expressing your creative gifts, talents and vision in whatever way makes you feel joyful.
8. You are invited to listen to the inner voice of Love, which always sets you free.
9. You are invited to trust in a loving and abundant Universe.Ask and it is given. Knock and the door shall be opened.
10. You are invited to follow your dreams and desires-trusting your feelings. Create your own heaven on earth.
Lastly, to add one more invitation to integrate and accept in your life...You are invited to see yourself as a masterpiece in progress. Every stroke you take adds to this creation of YOU. You, the artist of Self, will realize that this magnificent piece of work will not be done. For that you will be grateful, for you will realize the masterpiece gets better with each addition and it has no boundaries. After all, you are the artist of your life.

For six straight years, Mark Allen tried and failed to win the Ironman World Championship triathlon in Kona, Hawaii.
Finally, in 1989, he crossed the finish line in first place, starting a string of five straight years of winning the race.
During the six-year stretch of either failing to finish the race or not placing as high as he thought he should, he almost gave it up.
"Out of those six, I really felt like there were four years where I could have won," he said. "So each year, I had to pick up the pieces. After the sixth one, I was this close to saying, 'Forget it, I'm not cut out for this.'"
But, he didn't quit. Instead, he asked himself a simple question.
"In 1989, I started training and thought, 'What's important to me this year?'" he said. "I realized I needed to go back and have my best race. I didn't feel like I'd had my best race yet, and even if that wasn't good enough to win, I wanted to run my best."
Well, it turned out his best was good enough to win five straight Ironman World Championships. He would even add a sixth title in 1995 before retiring in 1996.
Now, the 55-year-old Californian travels the world, helping athletes with their motivation and their training. He recently stopped at Athletic Republic in Park City to help the company improve its training programs for triathletes.
"They have some really good protocols for helping speed, skill and strength athletes improve their performance," he said.
Allen said that while training in a good environment helps, no human body is perfect.
"You can do all of the sport activity you want," he said. "But pretty much everyone on the planet has imbalances in their bodies. If you can improve those things, though, it will help a lot."
Even Allen, voted the World's Fittest Man by Outside Magazine in 1997 and named ESPN's "Greatest Endurance Athlete of All-Time" in 2012, isn't perfect.
"My right leg was much better at generating power than my left leg," he said. "In essence, my right leg is a lot faster than my left leg, even though they have the same strength. I wish I would have known that sooner."
Allen, who now coaches and speaks to triathletes, said the most important thing to remember when training is to stay patient.
"When you're in the middle of (training) and it's not working out, it's very hard," he said. "We often have this timeline in our heads of how things should work out, but often the real world has a very different timeline. There were a lot of points I was ready to throw in the towel, but looking back, I was lucky to stick with it."
Overall, he said the motivation to run a triathlon, or any sort of race, starts from within.
"Before you take one step in your training, reflect for a moment and ask, 'Why is this important to me?'" he said. "It doesn't have to be a big answer, and whenever you hit those points where you don't hit your goals, reflect back on why you started in the first place. It took me about three years of running fairly consistently to realize, 'Hey, I can do this,' and the ease factor set in. It may not come right away, but it's really fun when it does."

College Hockey:BC Stays Perfect With Win At Lowell
Forrest, Shannon Key Eagle Offense
LOWELL, Mass. — Junior J.D. Forrest and sophomore Ryan Shannon each tallied a goal and an assist as No. 4 Boston College survived a late onslaught by Massachusetts-Lowell for a 4-3 win Saturday evening in Hockey East action at Tsongas Arena in front of 3,236 fans.
The Eagles (5-0-0, 2-0-0 HE) struck first at 11:27 with a goal by junior Ty Hennes. Hennes took a rebound opportunity low right side and stuffed it between the pads of sophomore goaltender Chris Davidson and the goalpost to give BC a 1-0 lead.
UML sustained good offensive pressure, but big saves by senior netminder Tim Kelleher kept the River Hawks off the scoreboard. BC tallied another attempt as time ran out in the first frame off a blast from Forrest in the slot, putting the Eagles up 2-0 at the first intermission.
The River Hawks got on the board early on in the second. Senior Ed McGrane fed the puck across the crease for linemate Peter Hay. Kelleher made the original save on Hay but was not able to control the rebound, and with McGrane in the area the puck was quickly scooped into the back of the net at :45, cutting the Eagle lead to 2-1.
Within two minutes of the UML tally, the River Hawks went on the power play. Boston College turned the tables, though, as a long pass up-ice from Forrest found Shannon at the UML blue line. Shannon skated in from the left side unobstructed, firing a shot that beat freshman Dominic Smart high at 2:39.
Boston College increased its lead to three goals at 6:20 with sophomore John Adams' first goal of the season. Adams received the puck between the two circles and beat Smart with a wrist shot high.
UML mounted a comeback a minute later on McGrane's second goal of the game. Linemate Steve Slonina sent the puck through the air from the right side boards, and McGrane timed his shot perfectly, knocking the puck from the air and into the net at 7:23.
The River Hawks cut the Eagle lead to one with freshman Andrew Martin's third goal of the season. Classmate Ben Walter sent the puck his own defensive end to Martin at the BC blue line. Martin skated unobstructed into the Eagle zone along the left side, firing a wrist shot that made it just over Kelleher's pads.
UML pulled its goalie in favor of the extra attacker late, but BC was able to come away with a 4-3 win.
Davidson started in net for the River Hawks, making six saves and allowing two goals. Smart made his first appearance this season for UML, stopping 13 attempts and allowing two goals. Kelleher picked up his third win of the season with a 20-save effort.
Neither team capitalized on three power-play opportunities.
Friday UMass-Lowell (3-3-0, 0-2-0 HE) will take on ECAC member Union at home, while Boston College will travel to South Bend, Ind., to take on Notre Dame.

I see that you all are working on a handful of plugins to be 64bit. Only one I have out of that is Toxic Biohazard (which I freaking love). But I imagine you will get more of your plugins to 64bit as well.
I assume that 64bit versions of these plugins, would have maybe slightly better performance in a 64bit OS, and would probably be able to utilize more RAM, right? Am I missing something, are their other benefits as well?

It was on this day, May 14, 1998, Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra, sɨˈnɑːtrə/, (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) died. An American singer and film actor, Sinatra was… the first modern pop superstar.
"Sinatra was… the first modern pop superstar… Following his idol Bing Crosby, who had pioneered the use of the microphone, Sinatra transformed popular singing by infusing lyrics with a personal, intimate point of view that conveyed a steady current of eroticism… Almost singlehandedly, he helped lead a revival of vocalized swing music that took American pop to a new level of musical sophistication… his 1950s recordings… were instrumental in establishing a canon of American pop song literature."
–Stephen Holden, Rolling Stone Record Guide
Sinatra enjoyed a huge film career and began making movies almost as soon as his singing career took off. His most important pictures include The Manchurian Candidate with Angela Lansbury, From Here to Eternity with Burt Lancaster, The Man With the Golden Arm with Arnold Stang, Kings Go Forth with Natalie Wood, Guys and Dolls with Marlon Brando, High Society with Bing Crosby, Pal Joey with Rita Hayworth, Some Came Running with Dean Martin, Never So Few with Steve McQueen, A Hole in the Head with Edward G. Robinson, Meet Danny Wilson, On the Town with Gene Kelly, Robin and the 7 Hoods with Bing Crosby, Ocean's 11 and Sergeants 3 with the Rat Pack (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop), Step Lively, None But the Brave (directed by Sinatra), The Detective with Lee Remick, Come Blow Your Horn with Lee J. Cobb and Barbara Rush, and The Pride and the Passion starring Cary Grant, among many others spanning most of his lengthy career.
Sinatra began to show signs of dementia in his last years. After a heart attack in February 1997, he made no further public appearances. After suffering another heart attack, he died at 10:50 p.m. on May 14, 1998, at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, with his wife, Barbara, by his side. He was 82 years old.
The U.S. Postal Service issued a 42-cent postage stamp in honor of Sinatra on May 13, 2008.The Hoboken Post Office was renamed in his honor in 2002. The Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Astoria, Queens and the Frank Sinatra Park in Hoboken were named in his honor.
The U.S. Congress passed a resolution on May 20, 2008, designating May 13 as Frank Sinatra Day to honor his contribution to American culture. The resolution was introduced by Representative Mary Bono Mack.
To commemorate the anniversary of Sinatra's death, Patsy's Restaurant in New York City, which Sinatra frequented, exhibited in May 2009 fifteen previously unseen photographs of Sinatra taken by Bobby Bank. The photos are of his recording "Everybody Ought to Be in Love" at a nearby recording studio.
Wynn Resorts dedicated a signature restaurant to Sinatra inside Encore Las Vegas on December 22, 2008. Memorabilia in the restaurant includes his Oscar for "From Here to Eternity", his Emmy for "Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music", his Grammy for "Strangers in the Night", photographs and a gold album he received for "Classic Sinatra".
There is a residence hall at Montclair State University named for him in recognition of his status as an iconic New Jersey native.
The Frank Sinatra International Student Center at Israel's Hebrew University, Mt. Scopus campus, was dedicated in 1978 in recognition of Sinatra's charitable and advocacy activities on behalf of the State of Israel.

Recieved the large explorer bag today. I have ordered many products from Levenger and have not been disappointed. This quality work on this bag is the I have seen. I hope to have it for a very long time.

This is a very functional and stylish bag.
By AmyEC
Classic. High quality.
By medward
from Houston, TX
Beautiful, classic leather bag. Gorgeous exterior and quality hardward. Nicely finished interior. Will last my lifetime and no doubt be handed down to my son. I own several leather baggage and briefcase items, but the feel and quality of this English tanned leather is unique. Large size is perfect for weekend jaunts and a short-trip carry-on piece. It's comperable to pieces at twice the price.
My new favorite bag!
By NaplesFL
from Naples, FL
My wife gave me this bag for my birthday and I love it! The quality is unrivaled. She got me the larger bag and it's a perfect size for long weekends or a couple pairs of size 13 shoes! Truly a beautiful gift and something I will use and enjoy forever.

By attylip
from San Antonio, Texas
This is the best , most elegant, functional luggage/bag weekender ever. I have shopped around and found close but lower quality for double this price!As an attorney I travel a lot and this is the best!. I actually own the entire line and am quite pleased with each piece.
By MattPJ
Rich leather, durable, comes in a cloth storage sack. Standard strap allows to be worn cross-body if not wearing a bulky jacket. I bought the large, upon delivery I was immediately impressed, it's a work of art. My main concern was whether I would be able to use it as a carry-on, and in the event the flight was overbooked, if I would be able to stuff it under my seat. On United and American the bag fits both in the overhead bin, and under the seat as well. This is a fine piece of gear and I believe you you be very happy with it.
Great looking product. Excellent Quality. Wish there were...
By Marlin
from Cincinnati, Ohio
Great looking product. Excellent Quality. Wish there were snaps to hold the zipper down. Also wish the monogram was on the bag, so it was permanent not detachable on a bag tag. Looking forward to using it for many years to come.
Engagement Present
By camiller
from IL
What do you give your best friend when he proposes to you on the stillest, most beautiful beginning of autumn I can recall? Voyage is our theme. I am a huge proponent of carry-on only when it is possible and have a similar bag I found at discount in Baltimore ca. 2001 - this style and size in durable leather is perfect. John's present is a thousand times finer and will weather beautifully. OKC first in November to see my parents and hopefully to Vienna after our wedding.
Exactly what I hoped for
By Flint
from Austin, TX
Great quality, and a PERFECT size.The only downside to this item is that there aren't snaps to hold down the zipper on the side. It uses a "peg" system which I fear over time will become less effective.However, that is a MASSIVELY minor complaint on an otherwise perfect product.

Jim Edmonds Makes Sense of Ozzie Guillen
Cubs centerfielder Jim Edmonds, whose return to St. Louis Friday night was honored by Cardinals fans if not by Tony La Russa, shared a revelation with Gordon Wittenmyer of the Sun-Times:
Edmonds would have been traded to the White Sox this past December if he hadn't exercised his right to block such a deal.
Edmonds said he got a call from St. Louis management in the week
after the winter meetings in December...
told me I was traded to the White Sox, and that I had an hour to OK it,
and I told them I needed more than that," said Edmonds, who had asked
for a trade closer to his Southern California home after being told he
didn't play a big part in the Cardinals' 2008 plans.
"I was sitting on the beach one day with my family, running around with
my son, and they told me I had an hour to decide whether I wanted to
play with the White Sox or not," he said.
It's unclear what the deal was, although the Cards were said to be interested in Juan Uribe at that time.
needed more time, and they kept pushing me and pushing me," he said,
"and I said, I can't answer that question today, so obviously I guess I
can say no."
The next day he was traded, with cash, to San Diego
for infielder David Freese -- a deal he later says he was told by
Padres officials had been worked out for weeks.
It seems to me that this story could explain the reaction of White Sox
pinhead manager Ozzie Guillien a couple Saturdays ago, after the Cubs had beaten the White Sox, 11-7, in the second game of their series at Wrigley and Edmonds had homered twice in a nine-run fourth inning.
the pinhead Guillen after the game:
"He just had a good day..I don't want to promote the
guy who's just hitting [.238 and stuff]. He just had a good day. Good
for them. I think I'd rather have him out there than [Alfonso] Soriano."
Edmonds shuns the White Sox; Guillen offers a public dig at the first opportunity. Makes perfect sense to me. In fact, I think Chicago fans have seen this movie before.
Finally, speaking of players who wore both Cubs and Cardinals colors, ClassicAthletes.com catches up with one of my favorite Cubs ever, Don Kessinger, a six-time All-Star shortstop for the team between 1964 and 1975. Kessinger was traded to the Cardinals for the eminently forgettable Mike Garman following the '75 season, eventually ending up with White Sox in 1977 and becoming their player-manager in 1979, his last year in baseball.
Re: Jim Edmonds Makes Sense of Ozzie Guillen
That story also helps to explain LaRussa's idiotic reaction yesterday as well. I know baseball is just a game, but do grown men (who also happen to be managers) have to act like children when things don't go their way? Jeebus, go play in yer sandboxes.
Re: Jim Edmonds Makes Sense of Ozzie Guillen
Maybe I've been watching too much election '08 coverage, but I can't help but wonder how much of this is PR. I mean seriously, at odds with Ozzie... now La Russa? And let's face it, Edmonds had serious issues with some Cub fans, specifically those "once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal" types.
And when ticket sales are the reward, PR *does* matter. It's not just an afterthought.
And I must say... between his hot streak at the plate and ostensibly hating Ozzie & La Russa... For me, it's working. I consider Edmonds a Cubbie.
Re: Jim Edmonds Makes Sense of Ozzie Guillen
I think LaRussa knew that this whole thing would cause the papers in both towns to say "LaRussa LaRussa LaRussa LaRussa LaRussa LaRussa Piniella LaRussa" instead of the other way around.
Re: Jim Edmonds Makes Sense of Ozzie Guillen
A lot of it is PR, no question about it; always happens during Cubs - Cardinal/Cubs - Sox series. But the thing is - Ozzie and LaRussa have been the ones shooting their mouths off at basically nothing, while Lou's been quiet and couldn't care less about issues that have nothing to do with the play on the field. LaRussa also seems to be forgetting that not only does Edmonds still own a restaurant in St. Louis, he still has a home there as well.
More pitchers - FA's
In addition to the usual suspects I mentioned a couple days ago - Meche, Bedard, CC, Wolf, Burnett -
here are a couple more for discussion:
Derek Lowe - at 36, he still has a mighty sinker that would be a terrific in Wrigley. We gave Coletti Maddux - maybe he'd return the favor? FA in 2009
Livan Hernandez - I was at Game 3 against the D-Backs. 'Nuf said.
Unfortunately for the Cubs - ain't much more out there this year.
Re: More pitchers - FA's
Didn't Meche say he is not interested in coming to Chicago?
Re: More pitchers - FA's
Not specifically Chicago, but as far as I've read, you're correct.
Re: More pitchers - FA's
This is the story I was talking about E-Man.
From June 9:
Meche staying put
Right-hander Gil Meche just laughs at those rumors circulating regarding a possible trade sending him to the Chicago Cubs.
"How's that going to happen?" he asked.
Meche has a no-trade clause in his contract and said he hasn't been asked to waive it. Furthermore, he has no interest in doing so.
General manager Dayton Moore declined to comment on the rumor, but club officials privately dismissed it. One said, "If we're going to make a run at this thing in 2010, how are we going to do it without Gil Meche?"
Meche is in the second season of a five-year contract for $55 million. He has struggled for much of this season and enters tonight's start against Texas at 3-8 with a 5.54 ERA.
Re: More pitchers - FA's
OH! Missed this one - thanks, LNL!
Re: Jim Edmonds Makes Sense of Ozzie Guillen
here is a trade to beat around
cedeno,patterson,and pignatello
a.j. burnett and d. eckstein
eckstein to back up theriot free agent next year
burnett possible free agent.
Re: Jim Edmonds Makes Sense of Ozzie Guillen
I cant see Toronto having much interest in Patterson as they have a 2b of the future in Aaron Hill and a load of OF talent. Pignatello at this point is a 26 yr old 4 A Loogy. I imagine in a trade for Burnett the Jays would want a combination of players that fix to sure up the left side of their IF, get a cheap pitcher who can hold down the 5 spot for them next year, a righty for lefty domiant bullpen, or power hitting 1b/DH guy. I could see something like:
Cedeno/Marshall/Ascanio for Burnett
As for backup SS I would rather get Aurilla as I want a solid RHPH more than a glove man out of that spot.
Re: Jim Edmonds Makes Sense of Ozzie Guillen
Two posts about Jim Edmonds in a week!
Does anyone else think that David Weathers would be a decent pick-up, especially if Marmol continues to struggle?
I know Weathers is nothing special, but he has been pretty solid over the last few seasons and may come cheap given that he is a FA after the season.
Re: Weathers
To me, Dave Weathers will always be right alongside McGriff as an emblem of the 2001 debacle. Maybe it's not rational, and Ruben Quevedo certainly didn't turn out to be any great shakes, but just the sight of him bothers me.
Buster Olney was just on ESPN Radio
and is reporting the feeling among scouts on teams looking at Sabathia is that he has pitched his last game in an Indians uniform and that he will be a Brewer unless the Dodgers part with Matt Kemp in a deal. Personally I think a Either/Laroche or Hu/Meloan trade would be better than a Brewers deal without 2 of Escobar/Gamel/Laporta/Weeks.
Re: Buster Olney was just on ESPN Radio
I can't believe the fucking Brewers are going to pull-in the big fish this trade season.
Re: Buster Olney was just on ESPN Radio
Hendry never quite got his priorities straight. I'd rather have a CC Sabathia than SOREiano.
Re: Buster Olney was just on ESPN Radio
Hendry never quite got his priorities straight. I'd rather have a CC Sabathia than SOREiano.
How is Soriano preventing us from getting C.C.?
This isn't about the cash, it's about the prospects.
Bitch all you want about Soriano (although I disagree), but I fail to see any connection with his signing and acquiring C.C. at the '08 trade deadline. What am I missing?
Re: Soriano preventing, not about cash, about prospects
Well, that wasn't my point (I was talking about Hendry's screwed up priorities that left us with a hole in centerfield, now filled, and a need for another frontline starter if we're serious about winning the division), but do you really think we'd go to the bother of obtaining Sabathia and then not pay him? -- just let him walk? Knowing Hendry he'd want someone he could re-sign.
And if you recall, it was the glaring hole in center that prompted Lou to try Soriano out there and he injured himself. Hasn't really been the same since.
April 16, 2007
Shortly after rejecting Cubs manager Lou Piniella's offer to switch from center field to left, Alfonso Soriano was forced to leave Monday's game against the Padres with a strained left hamstring.
Re: Soriano preventing, not about cash, about prospects
First, correlation does not equal causation. Second, if your quote is correct, why blame Pinella when Soriano refused to leave CF?
Re: Soriano preventing, not about cash, about prospects
Sorry you didn't understand anything I said.
Re: Soriano preventing, not about cash, about prospects
well CF was taken care of...pie + RH platoon/hitting mate...plans were also made giving e.patterson and cedeno CF time both last year and during the winter.
yes, YOU think pie sucks. big deal.
yes, pie wasn't up to it...yes, something was done to patch it...yes, it's not been much of a hole all year.
this isn't much of a new or unique thing for GMs to move on. hendry's made way bigger mistakes than giving a shot to a .300+ hitting AAA 23 year old and a "vet" backup. so have many GMs. what genius is supposed to move in and make every right move anyway? if you really need the best of everything money can buy there's some teams in the north-east really into that. most of the other teams have to work with payroll, and therefore talent, restrictions.
Re: Soriano preventing, not about cash, about prospects
Funny... because it seems like people often don't understand what you say.
So either you are too smart for the rest of us, or you should start making sense.
Re: Soriano preventing, not about cash, about prospects
Sorry you are not really clear when you write things. The only thing I consistently get from your posts is that you are negative.
Re: Soriano preventing, not about cash, about prospects
Negitivator, are you Silent Towel?
Re: Soriano preventing, not about cash, about prospects
The spirit that is Silent Towel left w/ Mark Prior to San Diego, but I wouldn't put it past him if he hitched back to Chicago on the back of Jimmy Edmonds.
Re: Soriano preventing, not about cash, about prospects
Nah... Negitivator = CWTP. He just likes to change his name every year or two.
Re: Jim Edmonds Makes Sense of Ozzie Guillen
Ugh the priority was to improve the offense over the last couple years. Remember the lean years with top free agents and the Cubs coming up with nothing? Yeah we kinda of changed that the last 2 years getting Soriano and Fuku.
And bitch about Soriano all you want, he single handedly put us in the playoffs last year and is a big reason we are 20 games over .500 now. He is an elite impact player on offense. And this team misses his bat in the lineup a great deal.
Re: Jim Edmonds Makes Sense of Ozzie Guillen
Don't forget that the commenter also obsesses with the W/L records on the team's minor league clubs. If a club's doing poorly, then Hendry sucks. If they're doing well, so what?
Recent comments
anyone else ready for the all-star break? =p
it's been a tough past couple weeks...except that reds series. i miss playing the reds. that was cool.
To take my mind of this latest disaster...wow, I thought baseball money was crazy, but NBA money is now super-wacko crazy. Joakim Noah is 31 with bad knees and absolutely no offensive game. He can't make a layup. The Knicks just agreed to pay him $72M over 4 years. Holy crap.
Thank you, Jason, for allowing me to get to bed at a decent hour. Very thoughtful.
It will be very interesting to see what Theo does at the deadline. Of course, if Jake doesn't get straightened out, it really doesn't matter. A lot of Jake's comments this year, and his posing for nudie pics in the ESPN magazine, rang some alarm bells -- after one great year (and it was amazingly great), his head has swelled tremendously. Jake, look up the word "hubris", then look in the mirror.
...and we're back from the 3rd rain delay.
at least the cubs have a decent backup of...ummmm....well the minor league system has...uhhh...hmmm.
maybe adam warren can manage to throw less than 100 pitches in 5 innings? no?
well damn.
Not to worry -- I'm sure Hammel will finish strong in the 2nd half of the season (~sad chuckle, reaches for Scotch bottle~).
Hammel has had a rather challenging last month. I am hoping post-break that Hendrix gets pushed ahead of him. They'll be lucky to win a game in NY
hey, alright...cubs losing by 9 and a 3rd rain delay. awesome.
If baseball does not work out for Patton, I think he's got a future in Civil War re-enactments. He's got a solid Johnny-Reb look to him.
David Ross - the mound awaits you.
RIP jason hammel's awesome ERA.
10 ER in 4ip...almost a full point tacked on tonight, alone. 5HR given up tonight. oogly.
Nimmo certainly does not want to see the Cubs leave town. His first MLB rbi last night and now his first HR.
At least Hammel is eating some innings ... this is the kind of game Peralta should be used if at all.
OK, the hell with it.
It's July 1 -- Hammel starting to suck right on schedule.
Other than sweeping the Reds -- a bad team actively trying to lose -- this will make 8 losses in 9 games to good teams (Cards, Marlins, Mets). Not good at all.
Belicheat a consultant for the Red Sox?
And, so, Jason Hammel decides to test my new resolution right away. Sheesh.
No Wright, no Duda, no Granderson -- no problem for NY. Ugh.

Junior Gee Reshard was one of the offensive stars of Saturday's TU scrimmage.
Aug. 19, 2000
COVINGTON, LA -- Freshman receiver Roydell Williams caught 12 passes and quarterback Patrick Ramsey threw for over 200 yards as the Tulane Green Wave football team completed the Covington portion of its two-a-day preseason practices with a two-hour scrimmage Saturday morning.
In addition to putting together drives starting from the 30, Head Coach Chris Scelfo spent 45 minutes of the scrimmage putting his offense and defense through situational snaps. The offense started on first and goal, then started from its own one-yard line and also lined up for a series of third-and-8 plays.
A crowd of approximately 300 at St. Paul's School's Hunter Stadium saw a spirited practice highlighted by the play of Williams and fellow freshman Mewelde Moore, as well as junior running back Gee Reshard.
"It was an excellent scrimmage we can certainly build on," Scelfo said. "Our enthusiasm and our effort were tremendous. Defensively we have really grown from day one of camp to where we are now. We still have a way to go, but the progress there is encouraging."
The Green Wave's first team defense was especially effective in bottling up the second and third team offensive units while the first team offense looked sharp against the defensive back-ups.
Counting all plays, Ramsey completed 15-of-23 passes for 206 yards and was not intercepted. Back-up quarterback J.P. Losman was 9-of-17 for 99 yards during the workout. Williams led all receivers with 12 catches for 105 yards while Terrell Harris caught five balls for 59 yards and Derek Joseph pulled in four catches for 30 yards. While freshman Mewelde Moore led the way rushing with eight carries for 55 yards and two touchdowns, Reshard excited the crowd with a 27-yard catch and run for a touchdown to add to eight carries for 29 yards on the ground.
"Our backs ran well and caught the ball well today," Scelfo said. "Roydell showed he can be a big contributor and Jeff Sanchez did some good things. I thought Seth Marler did a nice job in the kicking game."
Perhaps the best part of the scrimmage for Scelfo was the fact that the Green Wave did not sustain any injuries during the three-hour practice. Five players -- DB Jamal Jones (rt. shin), DT Matt Glapion (rt. ankle sprain), FB Kris Coleman (neck stinger), TE Kayne LaGraize (toe) and WR Adrian Burnette (returning from grandmother's funeral) did not participate in the scrimmage.
Following the scrimmage, the Green Wave returned to the Tulane campus in New Orleans. After a brief special teams workout in shorts Sunday, the football team will join Tulane's women's soccer and volleyball teams at Tulane Fan Day, which will be held at the McWilliams Athletic Complex behind the James W. Wilson Jr. Center on Ben Weiner Drive.
Student-athletes and coaches from all three sports will be on hand from 5-7 p.m. Sunday to take pictures with fan and sign autographs. Posters and schedule cards for the 2000 season will be given away and the TU Ticket Office and Tulane Green Wave Sports Shop will be open. For more information on Fan Day, contact 861-WAVE.

You make a good point, but, how do you go about 'converting' people to your view of morality? In my experience, people who start off on this basis end up alienating the people they need to talk to.
I believe you need to respect the interests of your audience and frame sustainability/climate appropriately – an approach I call Green Jujitsu. That way you get their attention and get them involved – getting some momentum going for the deeper transformation of morals and culture.

Secrets of Success
sleeping beauty revised
Thursday, February 07, 2013
Once upon a time, in a faraway place lived a beautiful little girl. She was innocent as children are, learning how to walk and talk, and play. But life was not good in the kingdom that she was born into. The queen of the castle was not a happy queen. The king had left the kingdom never to be found again, and there she was trying to be a good queen mother to her small princess. Many suitors came to the castle seeking the queen's hand in marriage, but finding out that an unhappy queen lived within were soon scared away. The little princess watched her queen and grew more unhappy herself each day.
One day, the princess fell asleep by a tree in the garden. She dreamt that the kingdom had been restored. The queen was once again happy, and all sorts of wonderful celebrations and parties occured regularly in the castle and in the kingdom with her as the guest of honor. There she stood, all glowing, slim, and full of energy and kindness for all.
The dream began to fade, and the princess began to slowly climb out of her dreamy state. When she looked down at herself, she was nothing of what she had just dreamt about. Her dress was too tight, and she struggled to even stand up. What had happened while she had slept? She recalled the wonderful dream she had, the parties and celebrations with endless pastries and culinary delights...What kind of a dream was it that she had awakened like this? Had some horrid witch cast a spell on her whilst she slept?
Stumbling into the castle to find the queen, tears streaming down her face, horrified by the stares she was recieving the princess searched endlessly for the queen. Reaching the very top of the tower she found a wizard. Uh huh, she thought...he is the one that has cast the spell. Casting insults and dispersions upon him she exhausted herself and wished she had brought a picnic lunch with her. Casting blame was rather exhausting.
The old wise wizard smiled warmly at her and said, "My dear, you have been asleep."
"No duh," the princess thought angrily to herself.
"Think back to your dream princess. Did anyone force you to eat all those delicious goodies and extra helpings? or did you just forget yourself and eat enough for the whole kingdom?" He smiled and then vanished.
"Wizard?" she called out. "Wizard, you can't just leave me here without a solution."
"You need to see the royal cook." was all she heard.
The royal cook, the princess moaned, that was at least 6 flights of stairs down again. Standing at the top of the stairs looking down she wondered if she would survive the journey. Slowly but surely she made her way down the 6 flights. She found at the end of the journey that her dress was fitting just a bit looser and that, although she was exhausted, she even felt better inside. She hustled off to the kitchen, finding the royal cook immersed in a Spark People cookbook.
"Oh, royal cook, the wizard has sent me to see you."
"Ah, yes, I have been expecting you." the cook smiled. "I am glad to see that you are finally awake. I wondered when you were going to wake up."
"Help me!" the princess snapped. "Look at me. Look what happened while I was asleep."
"I see that." the royal cook replied. "And I can help you, if you follow my instructions implicitly. You must eat only what I set before you, and climb the tower stairs once a day every day for the rest of your life. Only then will you be free from your dream and a slim, energetic princess again."
"Oh, I will, I will," the princess promised in haste only to find the journey to her weight loss was not all that easy at times. At times she hated climbing the tower stairs, and sometimes, the food was awful, and not enough, and she had to bribe her servants and courtiers to find pastries in the village.
But as the dusk of her life drew near and those who loved her, adored her, served her, and even liked her (even a little bit) stood by her bedside, she realized - she was finally truly awake and alive. She now understood - it was she that had caused herself to go to sleep and only she who could awaken herself.
Long live the awake, alive, and slim princess.

Defaulting on 80/20 interest only loan intentionally. Have enough income to make mortgage payments. Home is approximately 100,000 underwater. Entering 6th year of mortgage, nothing towards principle at all. Payments adjust in 4 (2016) years with an increase of 400 dollars. DO NOT qualify for loan remodifications due to sufficient income. No chance of refinancing in the near future.
1ST Loan is 224000 at 7.6% 2nd loan is at 56800 at 9.5%
Without any hope of a loan remodification or refinancing would you walk away from this mortgage? With enough income to cover mortgage payments and no real hardship, i doubt I would even qualify for a short sale.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

According the website I am seeing, a 45+ Cat 4 had the fastest time of the entire day by a pretty comfortable margin. Not sure who this guy is but THAT'S an impressive ride by any measure. As far as the winner of the other category goes, he DID race a hard stage race last weekend and did NOT win the TT or any of the stages. Good training and racing makes a difference man!

I don't know the rider in
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I don't know the rider in question, but from looking at his results on USACycling, seems he's a pretty darn good time trialist. He has raced as a "masters cat 4" for a few years, maybe it's time he race as a "masters cat 3". Seems the masters cat 4 fields become the ultimate sandbagger fields because you could race for years as a 4 and never be forced to upgrade, which seems to me would defeat the purpose of having a beginner masters field in the first place because the true newbies would be competing against much more seasoned racers instead of just other relative newbies.

Yes, elite/pro triathletes are really good athletes and can do very well in TTs. Although they will still get beat soundly by roadies at the same level of the sport.
Let them sandbag in the 3/4, I don't want them anywhere near me if they decide to do a 'normal' bike race.

Ed is a former Olympic Trials
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Ed is a former Olympic Trials Speed Skater in his day from what a teammate of mine told me. Just getting into bike racing last year. There are awesome Time Trialists out there that don't do well in other races. Unfortunately, there is no CREDIT for Time Trials for upgrade points, which there should be. It is a true test of a cyclist. No drafting, no teammates helping. You against the clock and the fastest time wins and is the best cyclist for the day. This being the first race of the season here, a Cyclocross racer is just coming off racing season so already in great condition for this race. A serious triathlete can come in and kick some booty also since they basically train in Time Trial mode but since they don't race much in road bike races, they sit back in the lower cats and not earn enough points to move up. I don't know if USAC makes/allows a top level/pro triathlete to sign up for a one-day membership at higher cat levels. If not, they can dominate TTs or early season races in the lower cats. Perhaps someone with more knowledge knows more on this.

New USAC Rule
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
There was some talk a couple of years ago about establishing a separate ACA TT license category, however, when the USAC/BRAC thing happened, this could not happen. For this year, USAC has amended it's participation rule so that anyone can race up categories in time trials. Heck, the TT race flyers I've seen even mention this point specifically. So, technically, Ed and Cam could and probably should have raced P-1-2. Problem is the RMRC point system is out of sync with this new rule since these same TT/Tri/speed skating superstars cannot and absolutely should not race P-1-2 non-TT events. Oh well, it's not a perfect system and there'll always be sandbaggers but I'll just train harder and eventually BEAT them too!

Not that big a deal
Submitted by Jonah Adley (not verified) on
It's crap to lump Ed in with a doper and a couple of pro triathletes. I've raced against Ed and I know him well enough to chat at the races. He's a great TT rider, a friendly, considerate guy and he's not a sandbagger. I think he's only been racing for a year and pretty sporadically as I recall. He did a handful of mass start races last year and I don't think he got any results to speak of. Nevertheless, I expect he will upgrade shortly at which point he will destroy the Cat. 3 field as well. Also, I find it ironic that despite the constant complaints about how masters races suck riders away from the Cat. 3 field and the issues we have with attracting/maintaining racers that when a couple of fast triathletes show up there is total outrage. You live in Colorado. You can't spit without hitting an elite athlete. Some of them are going to show up and treat your sport as "cross training". That's the way it goes.

Great Ride Saturday
Submitted by Dejan (not verified) on
It was a good start to the 2013 Colorado road season and a great ride by EVERYONE...from the first rider off the line to the last rider finishing. The TT Saturday was a good gauge of winter fitness going into the racing season. All I can say about racing is this...if someone beat you, stop complaining...TRAIN HARDER, RACE SMARTER, and race with a heart of a lion. I can recommend several reputable coaches along the Front Range, but they can not teach you the drive. Congrats to all the winners Saturday.

You shouldn't worry about that at all. Any rider that left the start "early" would have had their time adjusted. Pretty easy to add 1 sec. or whatever was needed.
If you are talking about being more heavy handed like "False Start" = DQ, that isn't going to happen.

Why have cats for TTs?
Submitted by MIke (not verified) on
My understanding is that the cat system is a safety issue for pack riding. Separation by ability makes sense there to keep the rubber side down. But why bother for TT's? Unless you are cheating, pack riding should not be a factor in a TT. Why not start the fastest guy first, then release the riders after him in suitable intervals. The fastest guys wins, race of truth and all that. Is this more special snowflake-gold-star stuff? I don't get it.

How to Apply for Nonpoint Source Grants
- Request for Grant Applications (RFGA)
- Grant Administration and Sources of Funding
- Who Is Eligible?
- What Activities Are Eligible?
- Watershed Planning Projects
- Quality Assurance Requirements
- Guidance for NPS Grants
- Tools for Documenting Pollutant Reductions
- Agricultural and Silvicultural Grants
- For More Information
Request for Grant Applications
On July 7, 2015, TCEQ posted its Request for Grant Applications (RFGA,) for Fiscal Year 2016 nonpoint source projects under the Clean Water Act Section 319(h) Grant Program. Applications were accepted until September 4, 2015 at 3:00 pm CT. The applications received are under review.
Grant Administration and Sources of Funding
The TCEQ and the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board administer federal grants for activities that prevent or reduce nonpoint source pollution. Grants are awarded annually and fund projects for up to three years. The TCEQ usually solicits grants in the summer of each year. Opportunities to apply are published on this Web page and Electronic State Business Daily .
The grants are made available through a federal program authorized under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act. See descriptions of current and recent projects funded through the TCEQ's Nonpoint Source Program.
Who Is Eligible?
All nonprofit organizations, and all state agencies or political subdivisions of the State of Texas—including cities, counties, school districts, state universities, and special districts—are eligible. Private organizations may participate in projects as partners or contractors but may not apply directly for funding.
Applicants are encouraged to partner with other local, state, and federal authorities to increase the impact of their activities. Participation offers the following benefits:
- More and better information is available for managing surface water resources.
- It ensures local perspectives are considered in decision making by government.
- Stakeholders gain insight into the nature of water quality problems and solutions.
- It promotes local stewardship of water resources through voluntary action.
What Activities Are Eligible?
To be eligible for funding, a project must address the objectives, goals and/or priorities identified in the 2012 State of Texas Nonpoint Source Management Program or nonpoint source elements in the 1998 Texas Coastal Management Program . Priority is given to funding development and implementation of watershed protection plans and alternative watershed-based plans.
Other eligible activities include:
- assessment of nonpoint sources of water pollution
- education and outreach
- implementation of both technology-based and water quality–based management measures
Projects that implement permit requirements for storm water are not eligible for funding. However, storm water management activities not required by permit might be eligible for assistance. Also, even in areas with storm water permits, low impact development practices and retrofits of storm water control structures are usually eligible for funding.
Watershed Planning Projects
Refer to the Watershed Protection Plan page.
Quality Assurance Requirements
All project-related water quality data must be collected and analyzed in accordance with an approved Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP).
Guidance for NPS Grants
The following Web pages provide guidance and information for Section 319 grant projects.
- 2014 (current) EPA Guidelines for Section 319 Grants
- Watershed Planning Guidance
- Public Education Resources
- Hydrography Maps and Data (see particularly under GIS Data Sets: Texas Stream Segments, 2012 - certified layer)
- Clean Water Act Section 319
- Cost Share/Match Guidelines for Universities and Nonprofits
- Cost Share/Match Guidelines for State and Local Government
Tools for Documenting Pollutant Reductions
The federal nonpoint source program uses the term "best management practices," or BMPs, to refer to any activity that has proven effective in preventing or reducing nonpoint source pollution. Every grant project that implements BMPs must include an estimate of the amount of pollution its activities will prevent or reduce, and an evaluation of the performance of the BMPS implemented.
Links to some of the BMPs that Texas has found effective are provided below. Information on those websites should prove useful for estimating pollutant reductions from the associated practices.
- BMP Efficiency Water Quality Monitoring
- Modeling to Estimate Pollutant Load Reductions
- BMP Efficiency Ratings
Agricultural and Silvicultural Projects
The TSSWCB 319(h) Grant Program administers the grant program for agricultural and silvicultural projects.

Wow wow wow! Custom toy and doll crafter, Elisabeth Redel (AKA PinkAxolotl) of Germany just may be one of the coolest girlfriend you can have. As a gift for her boyfriend, Elisabeth created an amazing custom Monopoly game themed after the hit video game, 'Fallout'.
This is a gift for my boyfriend. I spend a lot of time making the board and all cards in the Fallout style… The board was printed on a 50 x 50 cm PVC plate. Every street is a location from the Fallout game. "GO" is now "G.O.A.T." and "free parking" is the "please stand by" screen. Every card has one of the Fallout3 or Fallout New Vegas perks on it and has a really cool old playingcard image on the back. I use a lot of really cool stockphotos in this project…
That is pretty fucking amazing in my opinion. It's not like she did a half-ass job on this project out of markers and construction paper. If I didn't read the description first, I would have thought a company was producing a Fallout Monopoly game. On that note, someone get this amazing custom board game licensed and made dammit!

JOSEPH, Ore. (AP) — A pack of wolves in Eastern Oregon that has drawn the ire of ranchers has been blamed for injuries to three cows, one of which was euthanized.
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife says the cows found Thursday suffered hundreds of bite wounds that the department attributes to wolf bites.
One of the cow's calves is missing.
The department says the Eastern Oregon Imnaha wolf pack is to blame. A judge has blocked a kill order targeting two members of the pack.
The most famous member of the pack, OR-7, achieved celebrity status by wandering hundreds of miles from Eastern Oregon and into Northern California looking for a mate.
Another member of the pack, OR-9, was killed in Idaho last month by a hunter.

College of Arts & Sciences The Graduate Division Professional and Liberal Education
Not many elementary school assemblies receive rave reviews from students. But this was exactly where Jennifer Kyker first experienced the Zimbabwean music that would forever shape her life. Kyker, who this spring completed her Ph.D. in ethnomusicology, was smitten.
"I immediately ran up and got the group's number," she says. "I brought it home to my mom and said, 'You have to call these people, so I can start taking lessons.' Soon, I was convincing my parents to let me travel to study music in Zimbabwe. I was only 15 at the time, but it was one of the best experiences of my life."
Kyker's Ph.D. focuses on popular Zimbabwean musician Oliver Mtukudzi. She examines the ways in which he uses song to address controversial social issues that would otherwise be stifled by a strict government. The politics of post-colonial Zimbabwe are often viewed as chaotic, Kyker says, but the country's strong roots in kinship power structures have created a complex second layer. "If the government claims they are 'father' to the people, when in truth they are ruling in a manner contradictory to that label, then suddenly a song by Mtukudzi about a local village father that abuses his children takes on an entirely new meaning."
Given her affinity for Zimbabwean music, pursuing it on a scholarly level seemed like a natural evolution to Kyker. During her time as an undergraduate, she received a summer research scholarship to spend time in the field studying Kurova Guva, a musical ceremony held one year after a death in order to reincorporate the spirit into the ancestral lineage. An accomplished performer of Zimbabwean music in her own right, Kyker was even invited to participate.
"The first Zimbabwean instrument I learned to play was the marimba, essentially a wooden xylophone," she says. "It was developed in the 1950s to create a more accessible type of traditional music for audiences."
"There was a girl I met when I first started visiting Zimbabwe," Kyker says, "and we were about the same age, and our lives were following similar paths. I didn't realize at the time how different our futures would be"
– Jennifer Kyker
The marimba came to the U.S. in the 1970s with Ph.D. student Dumisani Maraire. He was one of the first international Ph.D. candidates to travel to the U.S. and earn a degree in ethnomusicology, which ultimately influenced Kyker's decision to choose the program. In addition to the marimba, Kyker also plays the mbira, a wooden soundboard with metal keys played with the thumbs and right index finger.
Throughout her frequent trips to Zimbabwe, Kyker became all too aware of the AIDS epidemic facing the country. "There was a girl I met when I first started visiting Zimbabwe," Kyker says, "and we were about the same age, and our lives were following similar paths. I didn't realize at the time how different our futures would be. She has lost her parents and nearly all of her relatives to AIDS. She dropped out of school and isn't able to find work."
She estimates that 10% of the population is now made up of orphaned children. Unwilling to sit idle, Kyker founded the grassroots non-profit organization Tariro, in 2003. Tariro works to stem the spread of HIV/AIDS by educating young women. The organization enables young women who have been orphaned by the virus to complete a secondary school education, thereby dramatically reducing their risk of contracting the disease.
Tariro has grown from an initial budget of $5,000 to $70,000. In addition to a board of directors in Zimbabwe, there is also a full-time coordinator that oversees student development. The organization focuses on orphaned teenage girls because they are most likely to contract the virus. It holds information sessions on prevention safety, as well as fosters a culture of arts with traditional dance and music lessons.
Kyker will be starting as a tenure-track professor at the University of Rochester and Eastman School of Music later this year where she hopes to continue in her quest to spread awareness about music, social justice and culture.

Injury bug hits defensemen Allen and Garrison (again); Olesz finger bad
While the Panthers have been relatively lucky on the injury front over the first 19 games they're starting to catch up in recent games.
On Tuesday, the missing in action included defensemen Bryan Allen and Jason Garrison, both hurt in Monday's tough 3-2 loss to the Penguins. Both are described as 'lower body' injuries, but the smart money is on Garrison retweaking his nagging groin. F Steve Bernier (orbital bone surgery) isn't close; either is F Byron Bitz (hernia surgery). F Rostislav Olesz' broken mddle finger is worse than expected and he won't be back for a couple of weeks or when he could grip the stick. C Stephen Weiss is playing but is clearly not 100 percent with a nagging ankle injury. …
Coach Pete DeBoer had his team focusing on improving the worst power play in the NHL (0 for last 26) but he's certainly tired of talking about it. Can't blame him as the team has improved in several other areas, including the PK (although Monday wasn't a good example), 5-on-5 goals, fewest penalties in league and holding on to leads after 2 periods (8-0).
DeBoer did mention that the power play unit still hasn't replaced Nathan Horton, who comes to town for the first time since being traded to the Bruins last summer. Horton leads the Bruins with 18 points (8 goals), both of which would lead the Panthers.
Nice to see the Saveology.com Iceplex packed with 13-14 year old junior players from Slovakia, here for the Thanksgiving tournament here this weekend (Friday to Sunday). Michael Frolik was nice enough to give his stick to one of the youngsters who couldn't stop smiling afterward. DeBoer also stopped to chat with several of the kids. His sons are also in the tournament.
Do you think that Horton would've improved the Panthers power play enought to have meant 2-3 more victories so far?

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) – Orgnaizers with South by Southwest (SXSW) announced Tuesday that NSA leaker Edward Snowden will be speaking at the festival.
Snowden, who is living in exile in Russia after leaking numerous NSA surveillance documents, is scheduled to speak Monday at 11 a.m. during the "Interactive" portion via satellite. The American Civil Liberties Union's principal technologist, Christopher Soghoian, will be speaking with Snowden.
"Surveillance and online privacy look to be one of the biggest topics of conversation at the 2014 SXSW Interactive Festival," the announcement stated. "The number of sessions on this topic reflect the importance of this issue to the digital creatives who converge in Austin each March. As organizers, SXSW agrees that a healthy debate with regards to the limits of surveillance is vital to the future of the online ecosystem."
SXSW organizers stated that the conversation will be focused on the ways technology can help protect the technology community from mass surveillance and the impact of the NSA's spying efforts.
"Hear directly from Snowden about his beliefs on what the tech community can and must do to secure the private data of the billions of people who rely on the tools and services that we build," the announcement stated.
A live stream of the conversation will be hosted by the Texas Tribune online. SXSW Interactive, Gold, or Platinum badge holders will be able attend the session on site. Also, the ACLU will post a free download of the conversation to their site later in the afternoon.
Julian Assange, Wikileaks founder, will be appearing by teleconference at SXSW on Saturday afternoon.

The New Millennium Bank card is a secured card. This means that after you apply you will be required to open a savings account.
Then your credit card limit will be equal to the deposit you make in this new savings account. The deposit will earn interest and is fully refundable.
It just secures that New Millennium will get their money even if you default on your payments.
Frequently this card is used to re-establish a damaged credit report. That is because just by paying your monthly bill on time you will be able to create a record of positive payments on your credit report.
You are guaranteed to be approved for this card and there is no credit check, employment verification, or minimum income requirements.
It can be issued as a Secured Visa or MasterCard. You choose during the application process. If you want you can get both the Visa and MasterCard and have two separate accounts reporting positive payments to the credit bureaus.
There is a $59 annual fee and a 19.5% APR. Unfortunately this APR is standard in bad credit lending and only having a one time annual fee of $59 is low comparative to other bad credit secured cards. The minimum deposit is a low $300 and you can deposit up to $10,000.
- Monthly Reporting to Three Major Credit Bureaus
- 100% Approval
- No Credit Check
- Low Annual Fee
- No Minimum Income
- No Employment Verification
New Millennium Bank Suggest
Yes, we do suggest the secured New Millennium Bank Visa and MasterCard. It gives you a method to build some positive marks on your credit report and at a reasonable price.
Opening new positive reporting accounts has been shown to be a very effective method for raising your credit score.
One last drawback to this credit card for a bad credit rating is there is no grace period thus interest will be applied to your purchases immediately. However with sub prime lending and the disappearance of many lenders this is OK.
In addition to paying your bill on time another helpful tip to build credit is to keep your balance at 20% or less of your available credit.
For example if your credit line is $500 then you should try to keep your balance at $100 or less. This helps because it shows the bureaus that
- You use your credit
- You use it responsibly
It also will help with your credit to debt or utilization ratio. This is how much debt you have compared to available credit. The bureaus like to see that you have available credit when they calculate your score.
This is because it appears less likely that you are in over your head and instead shows responsibility and financial wisdom. However due to the new credit legislation and the recent economic trouble in our country the New Millennium Bank Credit Card is no longer being offered.
