Grain Valley Board of Aldermen order Valley Raceway to close
GRAIN VALLEY, Mo. - A late-night decision by the Grain Valley Board of Aldermen has shut down the last race track in Jackson County.
City leaders say Valley Raceway has been getting a lot of noise complaints and has not been up to city code.
Residents packed into Thursday night's meeting and the back and forth from each side seemed more like a court case than a board meeting.
City attorneys say Valley Raceway and its owner, Dennis Shrout, are in violation of their conditional use permit for the site and have been for years, primarily for failure to keep noise levels at the property's edge below 65 decibel.
That's basically about the level of a loud conversation.
Just before 1 a.m., the board decided to put the brakes on the race track.
In a statement released early Friday morning, the city administrator said they want to work with Shrout to see the noise level come down.
Shrout said that would be an impossible task.
"I don't agree with what they did, I don't agree with how they say that the sound study needs to be done," he said. "And those are all issues that are still there. Whether or not they want to negotiate a new conditional use permit is pointless, because we can't meet the sound rules. "
The decision allows for the track to finish out the season and close on Oct. 1. The next race is Saturday night.
Shrout said he plans to appeal.

Texas A&M Head Coach Gary Blair
Opening Statement
"After what happened yesterday on the men's side of the tournament I have plenty of ammunition to go into my practices before the game. We have to treat every game like a Big 12 game. We are going into each game like we are playing Nebraska, Texas, or Oklahoma. By the time we play Portland State they will be the Los Angeles Lakers, and Claire [Faucher] will be Kobe Bryant. My assistants do a great job of getting us prepared and there will not be one stone left unturned. We give that opponent that night 100% of our attention and we will not start thinking about anything else until about 30 minutes after our game."
On Tanisha Smith
"She has the ability to create offense off of her passing. If she was a little more selfish she would be the leading scorer on our team, but she sometimes passes up good shots to set her teammates up with better opportunities. That just shows the unselfishness of this team."
On how far A&M has come
"When you inherit a bad program, like I did with Texas A&M a number of years ago the first thing you start with is your defense. You go out and you find players that are going to work well and play in a system. We had to develop a defensive mentality first. We have to play pressure defense no matter if we are playing half-court man, in a full court press, or even in a zone. Our entire system is about pressure."
G Sydney Colson, Jr.
On being at the tournament:
"I think for me it is really cool that we have made it to the NCAA Tournament these past last three years in a row. I think it is a really good thing for our program. Looking at how Texas A&M started off when Coach Blair got there, I think we have made some really big strides and people recognize us a little more now; we are glad to get this recognition and we are glad that all of our hard work has paid off to make it here another year. We have worked really hard this year and we are excited to be at this point and we are ready to take on whatever challenges are ahead of us."
G Sydney Carter, So.
On the team's cohesion
"I actually think that now we are playing well with great chemistry offensively, as well as defensively. It think we started the season off and we were not clicking like we should have or we did last year defensively. We had a couple leaks we had to patch up, but I think now we are really popping out with our strengths offensively and it makes us a threat that everyone out there can score. Defensively we are really getting after people, how we are known to do so, and I think that defensively and offensively we have good chemistry and we are playing well together."
On not underestimating opponents
"We are the type of team that takes it one game at a time and of course we are not overlooking anyone. For an instance, we overlooked a team last year and we came up short. As far as we go is as far as we go.
G/F Tanisha Smith, Sr.
On what the team did to improve to this point
"I would say our defense and taking coaching. Our team works real hard on the defensive end. We didn't have as much defensive pressure as coach wanted us and we have worked real hard to this point on rebounding. Rebounding has been a big key for us and taking coaching. Knowing when to take criticism and know when they are trying to push you real hard. Taking that and doing the little things that coaches want us to do has got us to this point."
F Damitria Buchanan, Sr.
On the game tomorrow
"Just playing well, playing hard. We've been clicking really well lately and we always seem to play better towards the end of the season, so just going out there and accomplishing what we've been doing recently to get the job done so we can get to the next round and possibly San Antonio, as well. Just executing a game plan and getting it done."
On Portland State
"Portland State has a good point guard who can shoot the ball, but we have a game plan and we execute against any team we play, regardless of who they are, so we just go out there and play hard. It's March Madness, all teams are competitive so we're trying to go out there and be the aggressor."
On the emotions of the NCAA Tournament
"It's an amazing experience, you never know. Everybody who made it to the tournament is a good team, so you can't underestimate anybody because of their seeding. You just go out there and play people like you would play anybody in your conference or anybody in your preseason, just play as hard as you can. It's competitive, exciting, and a good opportunity for our team and the program to be able to get out here and play hard."
F/C Danielle Adams, Jr.
On the game tomorrow
"I'm really focused right now. I think our whole team is focused. We're just looking to make it to the next round and keep going until we get to San Antonio." On what's keeping her focused "Just thinking about playing for a national championship is keeping me focused right now. I mean, I know this team can go to the championship game, so I know what we're capable of. I'm just going one game at a time."
On Portland State
"They have a good point guard and great three-point shooters, so we're looking to defend on the outside as well as the inside. We have one of the best defenses in the country, we're just looking to maintain that."

Employing all the elements of a fashion show, models reveal their abdomens in outfits designed especially to suit Israeli checkpoints. For Israelis in the present time, the individual Palestinian body is the most dangerous weapon there is, and it is therefore the subject of ongoing and humiliating surveillance.

2013 Little King & Queen Contest
By First Princess, Eileen Kwan
Los Angeles, CA - On Saturday, December 1st a rambunctious and excited group of children bustled into the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association office for the annual Little King and Queen Contest. The children were teeming with excitement and ready to strut their stuff on stage as their proud parents and grandparents cheered them on from the audience.
The Miss Los Angeles Chinatown court was honored to host the event and guide the children through the two segments of the program. The first segment showcased the contestants introducing themselves to the judges. Several boys and girls owned the stage with verve and charisma while others presented a more dignified and sweet side to their personalities. One thing all contestants shared was a great attitude! The second segment gave participants the opportunity to share a more personal side of themselves. Each con-testant was asked to pick a lollipop from a basket with a question attached to it. The audience listened eagerly as contestants gabbed about their favorite pets and foods while grinning back to their loved ones. One contestant even gave a rousing rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" that had audience members on their feet! At the close of the program, the winners were announced. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce Los Angeles would like to congratulate Little King Austin Eng, Little Queen Chloe Weinberg, Little Prince Nicholas Dylan Fong, and Little Princess Julie Liu. All the children participated in a lovely and heart-warming Christmas song performance as the grand finale. CCCLA applauds all participants for being so outstanding on stage and for being such great sports!
Our esteemed panel of judges included: Alan Gong (President of Plushest Toys Inc.), Poebus Hon (President of Alternate Light Technologies), Kin Hui (Chairman of Singpoli), Lucia Tam (Board Member), Wendy Liao (Board Member), and 2012 MLAC 4th Princess, Celine Linarte. Several of the judges were also contributing sponsors at the event by providing gifts to all contestants to thank them for their participation. Sponsors included: Alternate Light Technologies, Mega Toys, Playmates Toy Inc., Plushest Toys Inc., Prive Water, and Singpoli. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is truly grateful to all judges and sponsors for lending their time and generosity to the event. With your help, the event was a great success and a memorable experience for the children. Thank you all!

text: Have read only positive reviews re. the Caracal. The "problem", I think, is that with a Glock, etc., with a long track record, too many folks get locked into the mindset that says it's the ONLY gun to have. I've had several Glocks and have sold/traded each of them for other guns and have not regretted it. I might end up getting another Glock at some point, but it won't be due to believing that it's the ONLY gun one must own. And I do believe that the Military Channel reviewed the Caracal and gave it a thumbs up. As always, "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder: same with guns.JMHO.:image035:

Judicial Branch & Supreme Court
The My Lai Massacre Courts-Martial
- 1968 massacre at My Lai, Vietnam, led to controversial courts-martial of US soldiers
- What laws apply to warfare? How can they be enforced?
A nation's rules of warfare—what are they? How are they determined? How do they apply to soldiers and their commanders? What are these rules with respect to enemy combatants and enemy civilians? What sorts of penalties should be meted out to those who violate such rules? And who should decide how to answer these questions?
These were the issues facing the US military court that charged First Lieutenant William Calley with the premeditated murder of 22 Vietnamese civilians, including infants, children, women, and elderly men. Calley was also charged with assault with the intent to kill a toddler. All this carnage had occurred in the tiny village of My Lai during an American military search-and-destroy mission in the Republic of South Vietnam in 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War. The case against Calley (and, eventually, fourteen other military officers) emerged from the investigations conducted by Colonel William Wilson. To his horror, Wilson learned that the inconceivable rumors about the ruthless slaughter of My Lai villagers by US infantrymen under Calley's command were true. What's more, he found that such crimes during the Vietnam War were not only common but had become somewhat routine; because these assaults occurred under the watch and, as Wilson discovered, even under the orders of commanding officers, they went unpunished. "I wanted the bastards exposed for what they'd done," the Army colonel later remembered.4
In 1971, during just one of several nationally publicized court-martial trials, several witnesses—each of them active military personnel, many hesitant to testify for fear of retribution at the hands of the US Army—attested to the crimes facilitated and committed by First Lieutenant William Calley. One of the many witnesses was Herbert Carter, a soldier from Calley's company. In his emotional testimony to the judge and jury, Carter recalled that when one Vietnamese woman emerged from a hut holding her wounded child, a fellow soldier shot her and then the baby. "There was no reason for this killing," Carter concluded. "It was murder." 5
Later, Calley took the stand in his own defense. When asked to explain his decision to gun down whole groups of non-combatants—young, old, male, and female—Lieutenant Calley stated, "I was ordered to go in there and destroy the enemy.… That was my job on that day. That was the mission I was given. I did not sit down and think in terms of men, women, and children."6 He spoke not of civilians and admitted to no errors of judgment; he said only that he had been following orders from his superiors. In Calley's mind, in a war of counterinsurgency in which his men faced constant surprise attack by guerrilla fighters, there could be no meaningful distinction between enemy combatants and civilians.
The jury, made up entirely of commissioned military officers, deliberated for thirteen days. Ultimately, it refused to accept Lieutenant Calley's defense and found him guilty for each of the twenty-two murders and for ordering the killings of many more. Head jurist Clifford Ford, a colonel, announced that Calley would be "confined at hard labor for the length of your natural life; to be dismissed from the [military] service; to forfeit all pay and allowances."
Just three days after Calley's sentencing, President Richard Nixon stepped in; he ordered the convicted war criminal dismissed from hard labor, removed from his prison, and placed under house arrest (a nice alternative to jail, to say the least). Furthermore, the president vowed to review the details of Calley's case and assist him in seeking an appeal. In response, Captain Aubrey Daniel, the prosecuting attorney in the case, penned an angry letter to the White House. "I would expect," he scolded, "that the President of the United States, a man whom I believed should and would provide the moral leadership for this nation, would stand fully behind the law of this land on a moral issue which is so clear and about which there can be no compromise."7
Despite protest from Daniels, legal professionals, military officials, and both Vietnamese and American citizens, the Military Court of Appeals agreed to hear the case. In 1973, the Court upheld Calley's conviction but reduced his sentence significantly to ten years. Still under house arrest, Calley petitioned the federal District Court for a review of the original court-martial proceedings. This time, the Court ruled that the trial had been unfairly conducted and marred by national publicity of the events. With one final confirmation from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Calley was freed, released after serving just three and one half years for his crimes.
Many Americans objected to what seemed a process tainted with favoritism and political posturing. They were angry that so many, including top officials and several admitted perpetrators, escaped unpunished. Still, others argued that Calley and the others sentenced for war crimes in Vietnam had been mere scapegoats for broader military misconduct, or that the conditions of the war itself were so horrific that no American soldiers ought to be prosecuted for anything they did in the heat of battle.
And many questions remained: how does the United States define war crimes? How should these offenses be prosecuted, and what are the appropriate consequences? Should national security factor into conviction or sentencing? What role should the president, in his role as Commander in Chief, play in wartime courts-martial? As we see from the case against Lt. Calley, the answers to these questions are not clear-cut. In fact, each of the My Lai cases proves that wartime circumstances, public opinion, and politics can influence—or even determine—the scope of the codes of war and the severity of punishments for offenses.

|Assistant Head Coach/Quarterbacks
|Alma Mater:
|William & Mary '74
|1 Year
Rip Scherer is in his second year as the assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach, joining CU on January 24, 2011 as the final hire by Jon Embree to complete his first staff. Scherer returned to the college ranks after spending six seasons in the National Football League with the Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns and in all has 33 years of full-time coaching experience, 27 at the college level.
In his first CU season, he tutored senior Tyler Hansen, who threw for 2,883 yards and had a 20-to-11 touchdown to interception ratio. He helped develop Hansen into a free agent signing with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Scherer, 60, worked the two seasons prior to joining the Buffs (2009-10) for the Carolina Panthers, where he was the quarterbacks coach after spending the previous four seasons (2005-08) with the Cleveland Browns. Prior to that, he had logged time at 11 different schools from coast to coast in just over three decades in the collegiate ranks.
At Carolina, Scherer was integral in the development of Matt Moore, who led the Panthers to a 4-1 record starting the last five games of the 2009 season and generating a 104.9 quarterback rating after veteran Jake Delhomme sustained an injury. With injuries taking their toll on the 2010 stable of quarterbacks, Scherer and the Panthers used four different quarterbacks under center throughout the season.
In Cleveland, he served as the quarterbacks coach all four seasons from 2005-08, the final two adding assistant head coaching duties to his responsibilities. In his time there, he helped develop Derek Anderson, who was selected to the 2007 Pro Bowl after throwing for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns as the Browns boasted the eighth-best offense in the NFL in terms of scoring and passing yards per game.
He entered the professional ranks after he had coaching stints in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and SEC, including two stops as a head coach at James Madison and Memphis. Prior to joining the Browns, he was an assistant coach at Southern Mississippi in 2003-04 where he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He held the same title at Kansas for the 2001 season, when he coached a game in Boulder against several of his current colleagues including Embree, Eric Bieniemy, Brian Cabral and Steve Marshall during the Buffs' Big 12 Championship run (CU won that game, 27-16, in the first contest for both following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks).
He went to Kansas from Memphis, where he served as head coach from 1995-2000, compiling a 22-44 record. He coached the Tigers to the school's first-ever (and still only) win over Tennessee, 21-17, with the Volunteers ranked No. 6 at the time in 1996, a victory that was tabbed the "Upset of the Year" in college football by several news organizations (Memphis had been 0-15 against the Vols in its history). Prior to coaching at Memphis, he was the head coach at James Madison from 1991-94, during a time when the Dukes set or tied over 140 school records and helped them to a 10-3 record in 1994 and 29-19 record in four years.
He was also the offensive coordinator at Arizona, Alabama and Georgia Tech. He was in Tucson from 1988-90, the first season as the director of football operations and then the offensive coordinator the final two years. Prior to that, he was the offensive coordinator at Alabama in 1987 and Georgia Tech in 1986, where he was on staff from 1980-86, first as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator in 1980-81 and running backs coach and run game coordinator from 1982-84. He was also an assistant athletic director at Georgia Tech in 1985 before returning to the field the next season.
He started his coaching career at Penn State under legendary coach Joe Paterno as a graduate assistant in 1974-75 and then moved to North Carolina State, where he was the quarterbacks coach in 1976 before moving on to Hawai'i as the running backs coach in 1977-78. He coached the quarterbacks at Virginia in 1979 before going to Georgia Tech.
Scherer earned his bachelor's degree in Physical Education from William & Mary in 1974, where he lettered three times at quarterback under coach Lou Holtz from 1971-73.
He was born August 3, 1952 in Pittsburgh, Pa., and graduated from Toms River (N.J.) South High School, where he lettered in football. He is married to the former Michele Ragone, and the couple has three children, Scott, Melanie and Ryan (who played wide receiver at Penn State and is now a technical intern on the CU staff). His father, Rip Sr., was a long time high school football coach in Pittsburgh.
TOP PLAYERS COACHED (COLLEGE): Numerous; most notable: All-American TB Bobby Humphrey (1987, while offensive coordinator at Alabama).
RECORD: He has coached in 309 college football games as a full-time coach, 261 on the Division I-A/FBS level and 48 in Division I-AA. At nine previous FBS schools, he coached the most games, 66, at both Georgia Tech and Memphis. He has coached in five bowl games (all in different time zones: Hall of Fame, Copper, Aloha, Liberty, New Orleans), including one New Year's Day.

Agreed. If any of the above candidates, with positive or negative ratings before their names, take the opinions of the BD editorial board seriously, they do in fact deserve to lose.
Of course, if you didn't take them seriously… you wouldn't be commenting here.
Shaun, do you agree that those numbers are going to change, and then change again, and then finally settle in about 9 months from now? That's why I laugh at Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball predictions.
Apparently only one of the 7 candidates for LG did not pay the voluntary filing fee – Sen. Steve Martin. Money problems, maybe?

Catcher in the Rye author J.D. Salinger is dead at the age of 91. Salinger had isolated himself from the literary world not having published any work since 1965 according to this New York Times blog. CNN reports from a statement given by the family that "in keeping with his life long, uncompromising desire to protect and defend his privacy there will be no service."
Catcher in the Rye was and remains a fundamental part of middle and high school curricula. The book is about a cynical character named Holden Caulfield and was written with themes of alienation and teenage rebellion. Catcher in the Rye may be purchased at any of the local Lexington bookstores and is carried by various branches of the Lexington Public Library.
According to a biography on enotes.com, Salinger's "paternal grandfather, Simon, born in Lithuania, was at one time the rabbi for the Adath Jeshurun congregation in Louisville, Kentucky." Salinger lived in New Hampshire. He died of natural causes.

Just yesterday, March 14, 2014, Tony Calvento, a brave Filipino journalist, confirmed that Cedric Lee, Deniece Cornejo, Zimmer Raz and Bernice Lee had elevated the case to the Court of Appeals. The report was also posted on inquirer.net, the news and entertainment portal of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
"Cedric Lee and company has gone up to the Court of Appeals to ask the Department of Justice to stop the Preliminary Investigation. The CA ordered the DOJ to explain why a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) should not be issued to stop the hearings," Mr. Calvento posted.
After reading the news, some observers commented, according to them, the Court of Appeals should withdraw its order to the DOJ because the department is still investigating the incident. Some followers of Mr. Calvento pacified the fans and supporters of actor-TV host Vhong Navarro.
They said Cedric and several others involved in the mauling of Navarro were just exercising their constitutional rights, but despite their effort to pacify the netizens who are following the case of Vhong Navarro, many of them continued and questioned the CA's order and showed their disappointments.
And speaking of disappointment, in his latest and updated Facebook post, Tony Calvento revealed that DOJ Sec. Leila De Lima was also upset upon hearing the order of the Court of Appeals telling her department to explain why the preliminary investigation should not be stopped.
"Sec. De Lima called me and said many things. The bottom line is that she is so upset that the Court of Appeals won't make them do their jobs. This is just the Preliminary Investigation and the case has already been submitted for resolution. They (CA) will have their day when this case is brought before them. She is however confident that the CA will look at this case and see that the DOJ is doing its job as mandated. This is an Executive function and not a judicial one. We talked for quite a while and she sounds confident. Let's all do our share too, Tony Calvento posted.

Brewer's rice
From HomeBrewTalk Wiki
This article on a particular brewing grain is a stub.
Brewer's rice is a term applied to rice, usually short-grain varieties, that has been damaged in the milling process. This makes it aesthetically less desirable for use as food, but does not otherwise affect its chemical properties. As a result, these damaged rice grains are often sold to brewers for use as a brewery adjunct.

The Importance of Activity Can't Be Overstated
One consistent message in health news is just how much physical activity contributes to maintaining health. Are you sedentary? Entering middle age? Managing a chronic disability? A flurry of new studies confirms (again) that exercise is an essential part of staying healthy.
While getting fit as a youngster has its advantages, as the saying goes, it's never too late to start. Neurology reports that, in one study, people who were the fittest at age 25 maintained better thinking (cognition) skills over time, and each extra mile participants were able to run mapped to additional recall and fewer mistakes in memory tests. The good news, for those who spent their twenties lounging on the couch: exercise's influence on cognition appears to have an effect at any age.
This story was bolstered by news from the British Medical Journal, which published a study linking inactivity in women over 30 to heart disease—and finding it a greater risk factor than smoking. Fortunately, other research highlights how much can be gained even when starting later in life, as announced in a press release from the European Society of Cardiology, which found that men who begin relatively intensive endurance exercise after age 40 may get similar long-term heart benefits as those who start training before age 30.
Finally, working-age adults with disabilities who don't get any aerobic physical activity are 50% more likely than their active peers to have a chronic disease such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, or heart disease. According to CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD, MPH, "Physical activity is the closest thing we have to a wonder drug."
We all know the answer, couch potatoes: It's time to stand up and go for a walk. Pull some weeds. Take the stairs. If it's hard to get started, find a buddy. If you care about your health and quality of life, do yourself a favor and find what works for you to get your body moving.

Guajillo Beef
The great thing about this recipe, which is a cousin to my Southwestern Beef, is that it can go in the crockpot, cook for just aw hours, then get used as a Triple Play Meal for all sorts of things! To make it extra easy and quicker to cook, I used Carne Picada. Instead of cooking a whole roast then shredding, the meat is pretty much shredded going in. (remember my issues with cutting raw meat--love that this is done for me)
The other thing that adds a depth of flavor to this dish, is that it is braised in coffee. Make a little more than you usually drink in the morning, and use it to add to the beef. Mmm. Even though my husband does not like hot and spicy and disdains coffee, I still think he would like it. I planned it, though for those of us in the house who appreciate the heat. John got a new chicken salad recipe, which he though was a casserole in his lunch. Oblivious to the salad concept, he nuked it at work. Oops. He still ate it. What a guy. I wonder what that tasted like? I am featuring that recipe later this week. My taste of it was delish. I will recommend it be served cold, however.
The beef is spicy and full of flavor. I left out the cheese and didn't even miss it.
Guajillo Beef
1 1/2 to 2 lbs Carne Picada (or stew meat)
3 tbsp Guajillo chile powder
1 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp Mexican oregano
3/4 cup brewed coffee
Place beef in the crockpot. Sprinkle the spices over the meat. Pour in the coffee. Cook on high for 3 hours. Drain all but a few tablespoons of liquid. Stir the cooked beef to distribute flavors. Divide into meal sized servings. Possible uses: salads, filling for mini peppers, in lettuce leaves, with scrambled eggs, in quiches, as filling for crepes or in low carb tortillas.
I love mini bell peppers. They are fun to fill with all sorts of delicious stuff! Eating this at work will make everyone who has a sandwich jealous. I took my photo catching up on some work at my desk. Not the best lighting, but life as it really is.

It was required to fill in the gaps missed by the Oko series in 12-hour Molniya orbits. A single Prognoz deployed at 24 deg W, supplemented by several Okos in lower orbits, provided adequate warning of an American surprise missile attack.
The first generation Oko system, even using a four satellite constellation in Molniya orbits, could not provide 24 hour observation of all possible launch locations. Therefore development began of a replacement system began in 1980. It supplemented the Oko satellites with Prognoz satellites in geosynchronous orbits. The system was accepted in to service in March 1985. This work completed the Unified System of Space Surveillance (YeSKN). In order to provide full time coverage of enemy missile launches a total of nine operational Oko and Prognoz satellites were required - four were needed to cover the US land mass alone. It seems this was never achieved in practice.
Usually a single Prognoz was kept operational at all times at 24 deg W. Reserve satellites were stored at 80 deg E or 12 deg E and moved to 24 deg W as required. After the fall of the Soviet Union one active satellite was kept at 24 deg W and another at 12 deg E.
Gross mass: 2,154 kg (4,748 lb).
First Launch: 1975.10.08.
Last Launch: 2008.06.26.
Number: 15 .

al gore wants to tax the "rich" nations and give all that money to the UN to fight 'climate change!??--
the same guy that used the tax payers to fund the selling of his TV network to al-quaida--LOL!
When they found out that people were making fun of them for saying we had global warming, when the earth has been cooling for the last 10 years, they started calling it climate change. The one thing you can rely on is a changing climate. It gets cold in the winter and warm in the summer. It also gets dark at night. We have to tax cow farmers, because cow farts are a big source of green house gas.

Mimi Faust took to Twitter during Monday's episode of "Love and Hip Hop Atlanta" in response to the ongoing Nikko/sex tape drama. "LaLa Land" aired with a large number of viewers taking to social media to express their disgust with her admitted involvement with the infamous sex tape and the shock of Nikko being married.
Let us start from the start of this episode!
An emotionally drained Mimi sits on the sofa of insensitive Nikko and questions him about rumors from MediaTakeOut, an urban gossip site. After defending Nikko to an endless amount of insults and allegations from friends, Mimi really hoped to hear "I am not married" from the mouth of Nikko but instead heard the opposite! He not only admitted he was married but also that he never intended to tell her. Mimi's fans, the few she has left, were almost as angry as Mimi appeared as she stormed out of the room and supposedly out of Nikko's life. Yet still, she did not have the gusto to break-up with him. She never actually said she wanted anything else to do with Nikko. So what does this mean?
Later on in the episode we see Mimi meet up with her good friends Erica and Ariane who meet up for lunch. She tells the two what they have suspected all along, Nikko is a snake. The looks on their faces were priceless as they dug deeper into their friends' issues with the untrustworthy man. The two friends seemed genuinely concerned and betrayed as she revealed she purposefully filmed the sex tape upon demand by the company she sold it to previously. She claimed once the tape leaked, the company advised her the footage was not long enough so they had to shoot more footage to fulfill the requirement. Naturally, a defensive Mimi starts using profanity and storms out of the lunch meeting.
Later on, Ms. Faust meets up with Nikko's old roommate to get the facts on why they are no longer friends and what Nikko's true intentions were with her and the tape. He reveals that Nikko left him without hesitation once he saw the opportunity also known as Mimi. He dropped his music "career" and left his good friend. His ex-roommate also knew he was married and claims Nikko's wife has a deep and emotional connection with Nikko. He also exposes the truth about there being more than one sex-tape in existence where she was filmed without her knowledge. An easily manipulated and apparently emotionally damaged Mimi is shown in the previews for the next episode confronting Nikko on all allegations.
Take a look at what Mimi felt compelled to post to her twitter in response to the airing of the show.
"At this point I don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth."
"I would never want his wife to watch what I'm watching right now!! EVER!! I wish that on nobody."
"Being the other woman , the mistress , girlfriend number 2 , etc. NOT COOL!! Wether you know your that or not!!"
"You would think the next man that came in my life would want to treat me better, especially after knowing about my past relationship."
"He never got it, and never will!!"
"Take to your grave? Never thought about telling me in the beginning? Oh ok!!"

While bar products are "bread and butter" when it comes to soap sales, pump items and body washes are continuing to add interest and profit to the category. For example, Kevin Copper, vice president of merchandising for Sterk's Super Foods, Hammond, Ind., carries both pump soaps and body washes, which are more profitable than bar soaps. "We make a higher gross margin on liquids than on bar soaps," he said. Bar-soap sales slipped 2.9% in unit sales, to 635 million in supermarkets, for the ...

WASHINGTON — President Obama will welcome the Red Sox to the White House next week to honor the 2013 World Series Champions.
The team will be greeted on the morning of April 1, between games that will be played in Baltimore against the Orioles.
"This visit will continue the tradition begun by President Obama of honoring sports teams for their efforts to give back to their communities," the White House said.
Although Obama is a well- known fan of Sox of a different color — from Chicago — the Boston club is likely to get a warm welcome in the West Wing, which has a staff filled with New Englanders.
White House photographer Pete Souza — who grew up in South Dartmouth, Mass. — split off from the presidential motorcade last year to get to Fenway Park for Game 6 of the World Series.
The day after Boston won, White House press secretary Jay Carney wore a Red Sox hat to start his daily briefing.
"What a great team. What a great win. What a lot of fun. What an amazing baseball player David Ortiz is," Carney said.
"I almost wore a beard, but I was talked out of it," he added.
Carney later did sport a beard. Obama has one week to go before the Red Sox visit. Just enough time to get a head start on a nice, full beard.
Biden touts job creation efforts on visit to N.H.
NASHUA — Stoking speculation about his presidential ambitions, Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday promoted the White House's job creation efforts while visiting the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state of New Hampshire.
Biden joined Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez at Nashua's New Hampshire Works Center during an afternoon swing, which was Biden's
first appearance in the state since the last presidential contest.
While Democrats buzzed about Biden's future, the vice president downplayed his interest in the presidency.
''I'm here about jobs, not mine,'' Biden said when asked about his ambitions while touring a Manchester business.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is considered the overwhelming favorite to win the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination should she run, but Biden has not ruled out a bid of his own. He has run for the White House twice before.
New Hampshire is scheduled to host the nation's first presidential primary in less than two years, and prospective candidates in both parties have already begun to travel there to court voters and key activists.
Democrats note that Biden has strong relationships across the state, but several of his former supporters have already begun to get behind Clinton.
''Joe Biden has got more relationships in New Hampshire than just about any candidate who has run for office, next to the Clintons,'' said New Hampshire-based Democratic operative Jim Demers.
''He's got a lot of friendships. But a lot of those people have started working with the Ready For Hillary campaign.''
Biden offered an optimistic vision for America's economy after touring the New Hampshire Works Center, a career center that connects unemployed workers with career counseling, computer access, and training at local businesses.
He praised Governor Maggie Hassan's leadership: ''The reason we're here, notwithstanding what others may think, is a simple proposition: You run the best outfit in the country,'' he told the small crowd gathered inside the Nashua center, the governor at his side.

Thompson named acting head of Justice legal office
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has selected Karl Remón Thompson, a counselor to Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., as acting head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, the once-obscure agency that has become more prominent amid highly charged legal policy disputes in the war against Al Qaeda.
Because it has proved politically difficult to win Senate confirmation for the position of assistant attorney general for the office, it is possible that Thompson will serve as its acting head for the remainder of President Obama's second term.
The role may give Thompson extraordinary behind-the-scenes power over government policies.
"During his five years with the department, Karl has distinguished himself as a lawyer of unparalleled intellect and integrity," Holder said in a statement.
"His guidance has helped the Department navigate some of the toughest legal challenges of this administration. I'm grateful that he has agreed to lead the Office of Legal Counsel and look forward to continuing to rely on his superb judgment as he assumes this new role."
On Monday, Holder appointed Thompson as principal deputy assistant attorney general for the office, replacing Caroline D. Krass, who was confirmed earlier this month as general counsel of the CIA. That makes Thompson its acting head, because the position of assistant attorney general for the Office of Legal Counsel is vacant.
Obama has not nominated anyone to fill that vacancy, which became open when Virginia A. Seitz quietly stepped down in December.
The Office of Legal Counsel acts like an internal Supreme Court for the executive branch, issuing binding opinions about whether proposed actions would be lawful.
Its opinions may be overruled by the attorney general or the president, but that is rare.
Thompson graduated from Harvard in 1991. He received a PhD in political theory from the University of Cambridge in 1998, and a JD from the University of Chicago in 2000. He was later a clerk for Judge David S. Tatel on the federal appeals court for the District of Columbia, and for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg of the Supreme Court.

In a recent interview with GQ, Keanu Reeves was surprisingly forthcoming about story details on the third film in the "Bill and Ted" series.
As previously reported, a script by series creators Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson has already been penned but little has been known about the storyline until now. Reeves says:
One of the plot points is that these two people have been crushed by the responsibility of having to write the greatest song ever written and to change the world. And they haven't done it. So everybody is kind of like: "Where is the song?" The guys have just drifted off into esoterica and lost their rock.
And we go on this expedition, go into the future to find out if we wrote the song, and one future "us" refuses to tell us, and another future "us" blames us for their lives because we didn't write the song, so they're living this terrible life. In one version we're in jail; in another we're at some kind of highway motel and they hate us.
Last week came the news that Dean Parsiot had signed on to direct the film, right now though funding is the big question.
