More than a few Republican strategists and pundits who haven't yet completely lost their minds are warning that a shutdown of the federal government would be a public-relations disaster for the GOP.
But, of course, the tail that wags the dog in today's Republican Party is represented by THESE PEOPLE:
A huge majority of tea party types want like-minded lawmakers to defend by their convictions even if it results in a government shutdown, placing the ultra-conservative contingent sharply at odds with the rest of the country.
The latest findings released Monday by the Pew Research Center found 71 percent ...

AstraZeneca buys miRNA know how
16.08.2012 - British-Swedish pharma giant AstraZeneca has inlicenced three miRNA targets from Regulus Therapeutics.
AstraZeneca said it will make an US$28m upfront payment and equity investment for the exclusive commercialisation rights for compounds directed against three miRNA targets identified by the US joint venture of Alnylam and Isis Pharmaceuticals. The deal includes Regulus' lead programme that targets miRNA33 in atherosclerosis. Three other programmes will be focused on cardiovascular (miRNA24) and metabolic diseases as well as cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, Regulus will lead preclinical development, whereas AstraZeneca will be responsible for clinical development and commercialisation. In case of success, Regulus will receive preclinical and clinical milestones and royalties.
Atherosclerosis is the build-up of plaque that occurs when cholesterol and inflammatory cells accumulate in blood vessels. These plaques can rupture, leading to slowing or blockage of blood flow and ultimately resulting in a heart attack or stroke. Scientific research has shown a strong correlation between high cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease which, according to the Centers for Disease Control, is the leading cause of death in the United States.
Regulus' lead program for atherosclerosis targets microRNA-33, which has a unique mechanism of action for the management of cholesterol levels. The inhibition of microRNA-33 with our anti-miRs promotes reverse cholesterol transport, or RCT, which is the efflux of cholesterol from specific cholesterol-laden inflammatory cells called macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques. Treatment with anti-microRNA-33 in an atherosclerotic mouse model led to reduction in arterial plaque size by 35% (Rayner et al., J Clin Invest. 2011) and treatment in non-human primates increased circulating levels of HDL-C by 50%. By enhancing RCT, anti-miR-33 differs from other emerging therapeutic strategies that focus only on raising HDL-C in circulation.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/astrazeneca-buys-mirna-know-how.html

Tucked away on South Main Street in Breckenridge is Flourish, a new shop that sells handmade art. More than just a shop, however, Flourish is also a gallery, showing off works in various mediums by Colorado-based artists. Stepping into the shop, customers are greeted with displays of jewelry - earrings, necklaces, rings - each piece unique from those around it. Tapestries hang on the walls, collaborations of thread and color, accompanied by paintings. Everywhere you look is a piece of art, and they're all for sale.
Holly Stein, owner of Flourish and an artist herself, has filled her store with art and handmade projects from artists throughout the state, most of them out of county.
"I tried to find people who have really unique things, and are different, that are not represented in Summit County," Stein said. "We want to have something that's part of the whole Colorado mountain experience, but isn't represented elsewhere in the town or in the county."
Stein's forte is metalsmithing, particularly jewelry, which she sells at Flourish. She combines her materials -stones, buttons, metal, found objects - using a variety of styles and techniques.
"It's all nature-inspired," Stein said. "Lots of leaves, lots of flowers, but they're all different styles."
Most of her inspiration comes from working outside in her garden. Though she lives in the Upper Blue area at over 10,000 feet, she has nurtured an expansive perennial garden with plenty of growth.
"I get ideas all over the place, mostly things about color or texture or patterns, looking at trees or flowers," she said. "Maybe just the way the light is shining on the mountains in the morning."
Apart from nature, Stein also seeks ideas and inspiration in the everyday world, particularly thrift stores and flea markets. Though many of her jewelry pieces have a nature-like style, she doesn't limit herself.
"I want to be able to experiment and play and try," Stein said. "I'm always tinkering with something new."
One particular material Stein has been working with may seem surprising to some - concrete. She became familiar with the idea after taking an art class in Vail, and then adapted it to her own inclinations. Once the concrete has set and been attached in its setting on the jewelry piece, Stein draws and paints on top of it, usually in colorful and painstakingly intricate designs.
"I've been looking for materials I could actually draw on, and I wanted something different from my other work," Stein explained. "I was looking for something to be precise with, and I really wanted to just draw."
Stein has always loved jewelry, and she took up metalsmithing 15 years ago while living in Chicago. A graphic designer by trade, her job put her in touch with the local art community. In payment for her work, she received gift certificates to art classes, in which her artistic passion was renewed.
"I had taken classes previously, so I started taking metalsmithing classes again, and I just never stopped. I completely love it."
While in Chicago, Stein soon began teaching metalsmithing classes herself, and has carried this vision over into Flourish. The upstairs portion of the store is a workshop dedicated to teaching. Several soldering stations line the back wall, and nearby shelves are filled with metalworking tools and useful books. Stein plans to teach classes at beginning and advanced levels, as well as quick "you make it you take it" sessions for customers just stopping by.
"I love the teaching aspect, I get a lot out of it," Stein said, "particularly [with] students who haven't done something before, because sometimes it's really eye-opening. ... That's an educational experience for me too."
For years the idea for Flourish lingered in the back of Stein's mind, although when it came down to the final process, everything went quickly. On Nov. 10, six weeks after signing the lease, Stein's store opened.
"I thought for a long time it would be fun to have a gallery, because I love art and I love artists," Stein said. "I think artists are really interesting people."
Fortunately, her connections within the art community meant that she was quickly set up with products to sell beside her own in the store.
When making her jewelry, Stein estimates she spends around an hour on the simple pieces, and up to eight or more on the more complex.
"It depends on the style of the piece and what's involved," she said.
What is clear, however, is that while the hours add up and there's a lot of labor involved, Stein certainly doesn't think of the handcrafting, the teaching or running the store as 'work.'
"I like the idea of teaching people along with selling to them," Stein said. "That's what I hope to do with the gallery, is educate people and bring artists together. Some people balk at the prices of handmade things [until] they understand the process that goes into it, and the amount of work."
People walking in to Flourish "can expect to see something unusual, that's different and gives a sense of handmade and how that works," said Stein. "Somebody who's looking for something unusual that has its own story."

Favored Safts withdraw from Morris Broadband Half Marathon
Aaron and Beth Saft unable to race due to death in the family
Published: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 8:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 8:55 p.m.
The men's and women's favorites for Saturday's Morris Broadband Half Marathon at DuPont State Forest, Aaron and Beth Saft, have withdrawn from the race to attend Aaron's grandfather's funeral in New York.
This leaves the field wide open for both the men's and women's divisions.
Race organizer Greg Walker of Fletcher Parks and Recreation said without any clear front-runners in both races, it could be very tight at the finish line Saturday morning, but he's expecting one of the local favorites to cross the line first in the men's race.
Hendersonville's David Workman had one of his best finishes ever in 20011's Half Marathon, ending up in the runner-up spot with a time of 1 hour, 22 minutes, 44 seconds.
"David has raced in all 10 races we have put on at DuPont, and right now with Aaron not attending, I'd have to say that David is the favorite," Walker said.
In 2011 when Workman crossed the finish line, he immediately grabbed two bottles of water and went back down the race trail. Just a few yards back, he met up with Saft, who was slightly dehydrated.
"When I passed him a mile out, I knew he was in trouble. I didn't know what else to do, except to get to the finish as fast as I could where I knew I could get some help and some water," Workman said following that race.
Last year Workman repeated his second-place finish with a time of 1 hour, 23 minutes. The race record of 1 hour, 15 minutes, was set last year by Illinois native Matt Morse, who won't be attending this year.
For the women, Walker believes Brevard's own Lydia O'Dell, who has also competed in several races at DuPont, is now the favorite.
"She has won the DuPont Marathon in the past, so she knows the course very well," he said.
Walker, who is also an avid runner, has been bombarded with calls and text messages following Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon.
"Yesterday was a horrible day for our nation and also for the running community. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people in Boston right now," he said.
For Saturday's race, Walker said there will be a moment of silence prior to the start.
"We are also working on a memorial decal to give each of the runners, and we're encouraging all of the runners to wear Boston blue and yellow for the race," he said.
There are 170 entrants to date from as far West as Texas and from as far North as Maryland. The race begins at 8:30 a.m., and the first finishers are expected around 9:50 a.m.

OAKLAND -- Former Raiders running back Napoleon Kaufman has been hired as Bishop O'Dowd High's head football coach.
"I'm just thrilled," Kaufman said.
Kaufman, 40, said that he did not consider being a head coach until a month ago.
"I started getting this itch, that I could see myself taking over a program," he said.
"No. 1, I really enjoy the school. I appreciate from an academic aspect the things they have accomplished at the school, and from a sports and athletic standpoint, I was really impressed with what they've done at this school."
Kaufman takes over for another former NFL star, Hardy Nickerson, who stepped down last month after four seasons as the Dragons coach.
Kaufman's son, Napoleon Jr., will be a junior on the football team next season, and his son Nathanael will be a freshman at Bishop O'Dowd in the fall. Kaufman said it is not his intention to leave after his sons graduate.
"I love kids, I love sports, and I feel this is an awesome way to give back to the community," he said.
Kaufman, a senior pastor of The Well Christian Community church in Livermore, played six seasons for the Raiders and retired after the 2000 season. He rushed for 4,792 yards and scored 18 touchdowns in 91 NFL games.
"I love my church and I see this as an extension of my work," said Kaufman, who also starred at the University of Washington and was the 1994 Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year. "I sat down with my elders. ... my staff and it was clear that I had the time to do (this coaching position)."
Kaufman said that he was a volunteer coach at O'Dowd the past two seasons and has also been also a coach in the Pleasanton Junior Football League.

The Picture On Your Wall (a rap of mine to impress sage)
my nig nig, represent yo, wha wha, bluckaville addicts blingzzz, rep that shit like a gangsta.
i'm simple, i don't need much, peace and logic
knowledge about sense, food, and a complex object
the smell of the harvest and freshly baked bread
to brake the baked bread with breadrin, digest hatred
dilapidated selves, try to re-discover my hunger
haunted by the ghost of christmas past, mark my blunders
then it thunders and i wonder yet again, coherent irony
and the smile on my lips reads: tell em all goodbye for me
they say an optimist live the longest, well he sure lives the most
put my prints all over history, ya sit back and mark my words
a child laughter echoes inside my decayed skull
6 feet deep asleep, i reminisce vividly the picture on ur wall
i settle for little, manage breathin til the end of the day
a modern time ascetic, simple medic, i nimble away
if i found a geni, i'd deliberately defy reason
wish me two ice creams and then i'd give him his freedom
the first audio doctrin is written in green sound waves
graved in air and the ears of absent-minded
contraceptive clouds cover the thoughts simplicity
this year's vintage boosted my individual liberty
appearences are deceptive, my stubble is light gray
find the beauty in the wind that blows with the night train
patterns formed to be devoured in life's ecstasy in all
i vividly remember the misoury in that picture on ur wall
i'm simple, i don't need much, peace and logic
knowledge about sense, food, and a complex object
reason, air, a bed, maybe a pencil and a pad
i can't stand birds, but i love the life force in plants
life that is so simple, u give it water and it grows
the oak is my rolemodel when i rebel against storms
the sun light is my mistress, tenderly strokin my skin
skim through the beard on my dim chin
i am the letters in ur sentence, the rhyme in ur poem
the smile on ur face when it's silent at home
the color of ur iris, the led in ur pencil
the picture on ur wall, the complexity in simple

Even Daniel Craig's amazingly sculpted abs couldn't save this flick from mediocrity...
There doesn't seem to be too much information available regarding the plot details of director Jim Sheridan's "Dream House", but what I've come across has definitely sparked my interest. In the above snapshot, Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz play a couple who move from New York City to a small New England suburb and find that their new home was the site of a brutal murder. As Daniel Craig investigates the tragedy with his neighbor (Naomi Watts) he soon discovers that his family could be the killers next target. "Dream House" is set to hit theaters September 30, 2011.
Director Stephen Soderberg has fast tracked his next project, the outbreak action-thriller "Contagion". Joining him will be Matt Damon, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Marion Cotillard. So far, the origin of the outbreak is unknown but investigation shows it is narrowed down to either a viral situation or runaway actor egos.
Normally I don't like to fuel crazy rumors, but this one is too good to pass up. The story that Universal is a planning a possible "Jaws" remake has been around for awhile. Think a reboot is bad enough? How about a reboot starring Tracy Morgan in the place of Matt Hooper?
In other star packed ego news, Rachel Weisz will star along side Daniel Craig and Naomi Watts in the haunted house thriller "Dream House". Reportedly, Weisz will be filling the lead role originally given to Watts.
"Paranormal Activity" continues to make waves as it scares the vino out of Italy. The country's emergency response service has been flooded with calls from teenagers and youth suffering from panic attacks after viewing the commercials. So far, the government has yet to ban the film.
Draco Malfoy has joined the cast of "The Apparition", a story about a couple haunted after a college experiment. So far, it would appear that Tom Feldon is going to be cast as the film's 'star power'.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
1. Identify MDV Meq and c-Jun binding sites in the chicken genome.
2. Identify differentially expressed genes following MDV-reactivation in MSB-1 cells.
3. Determine if differentially expressed genes identified in objective 2 also show differentially expression between MD tumors and CD4+ T cells.
4. Identify differentially expressed genes as a function of genetic resistance status or the presence of Meq.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
1. Utilize chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) using Meq or c-Jun antibodies and determine the DNA sequences via Solexa paired-end reads.
2. Isolate RNA from MSB-1 cells at time 0 and following MDV reactivation, and run on Affymetrix Chicken microarrays.
3. Compare by qRT-PCR the relative expression of key genes between MD tumors and CD4+ T cells.
4. Isolate RNA from line 6 (MD resistant) and line 7 (MD susceptible) CEF at various time before and after infection with either MDV or MDV lacking Meq, and run on Affymetrix Chicken microarrays.

Seven independent taxi companies have filed suit against Augusta's largest cab company, Radio Cab, and the city of Augusta.
They want damages for what they call a 20-year monopoly at the airport.
The lawsuit claims the Airport Commission, the consolidated government, and Radio Cab are all responsible for supporting an illegal monopoly.
"We tried to do this in a reasonable way, in an honest fashion, and nobody listened," says Mark Lavigne of USA Cab Company. "Now it's just going to go to court."
Lavigne is one of seven independent taxi service owners suing the city and Radio Cab among others for what they're calling a 20-year monopoly.
"We need justice," he says. "We got independent cab companies that are struggling right now with no access to the airport, it's been like that for twenty years."
The lawsuit filed in superior court Tuesday, June 6 claims the city violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act by allowing Radio Cab to hold an exclusive contract to do business at Augusta Regional Airport.
"We have a contract with the city," says David Fields, owner of Radio Cab. "If the city only wants to give it to one company, that's up to the city. I don't make the rules for the contract."
Fields had not seen the lawsuit until News 12 showed him. He says it's frivolous, and maintains there is nothing illegal about the contract.
"I think that everybody's jealous of business people have and they try to want to bet a piece of your business," he says.
In March, right before the Masters, independent cab companies took their concerns to the Airport Commission, claiming the exclusive contract was not fair.
The Airport Commission decided not to renew that contract with Radio Cab when it ends June 30.
But the independent companies say after twenty years of wrong, the right changes should have made been made immediately. Now they say those responsible should have to pay.
"We want damages," says Lavigne. "In the beginning maybe we wouldn't have asked for damages."
And while the Augusta Commission is also named in the suit, some city leaders are speaking out and others remaining tight-lipped about yet another lawsuit.
"Due to the fact that it's pending litigation, I won't comment to that lawsuit directly," says Augusta mayor Deke Copenhaver.
"This is the result of things done wrong," says Commissioner Marion Williams. "People are not going to sit back and allow them to treat them any kind of way."
The lawsuit also claims former sheriff Webster and Sheriff Ronnie Strength knew about an illegal video gambling operation at Radio Cab.
The plaintiffs claim money from the gambling was donated to city leaders--which they say enabled Radio Cab to keep the contract.
Radio Cab officials says nothing illegal was going on, and Sheriff Strength says the claims are "ridiculous".
One of the plaintiffs tells News 12 there is video to prove this was going on--video they plan to bring out in court.

William John Kennedy via Allen Cooper Enterprises/
William John Kennedy via Allen Cooper Enterprises/
NEW YORK � Andy Warhol once predicted 15 minutes of fame for everyone.
But 25 years after his death, the pop artist�s reputation and impact on the contemporary art world show no signs of fading. His iconic images of everyday consumer objects and celebrities consistently command high prices and draw enthusiastic crowds to museum and gallery shows.
But before he catapulted onto the world stage, the young artist already was producing some of his most iconic pieces. In a new exhibition, Warhol is captured in photographs at the very cusp of the pop art movement.
�Before They Were Famous: Behind the Lens of William John Kennedy,� at the Site/109 gallery in lower Manhattan, features rare shots of Warhol and artist Robert Indiana posing together with what were soon to become their most celebrated works � Warhol�s �Marilyn� and Indiana�s �LOVE� logo.
Kennedy, a freelance photographer when the photos were taken, had nearly forgotten about them and only rediscovered the images several years ago in a �beat-up cardboard box� while sorting through his archive, he said.
He took them when Warhol �was a known entity but had not yet exploded on the scene,� said Eric Shiner, director of the Warhol Museum, located in Warhol�s hometown of Pittsburgh. �Theycapture Andy both in production mode and also having-fun mode.�
The 82-year-old photographer, who lives in Miami Beach, Fla., said he set out to record �the rising stars of the new movement in pop art.� He sensed immediately that Warhol would become �a giant in the industry� but said he �was amazed to meet this very withdrawn and taciturn man.�
Among his favorite photographs is one of the pop icon working at his Manhattan studio, The Factory.
�Piled up in the corner were 50 to 75 sheets of acetate. Andy said �Those are proofs of my work,�� Kennedy recalled. As he unrolled one, �there�s this huge face of Marilyn Monroe � a transparent proof of his silkscreens.�
He had Warhol hold it up in front of him, creating a portrait within a portrait.
In another image, the photographer posed Warhol with one of his early flower paintings standing in a field of black-eyed Susans, located in a most unlikely spot � an industrial section of the Flushing neighborhood in New York City�s Queens borough.
These and about 50 other silver gelatin prints of Warhol and about 30 of Indiana capture the artists in their studios, relaxing, editing, painting and chatting on the phone. The works � presented by the Miami-based publishing house Kiwi Arts Group � are shown alongside some of the artists� original works.
Kennedy shot hundreds of images of the artists; 100 will be placed in the permanent collection of the Warhol Museum.
The exhibition, which runs through May 29, includes a 40-minute documentary film featuring people still living who were involved with Warhol, including such Warhol superstars as Ultra Violet and Taylor Mead.
�What�s great is all these people are in their 80s. We were able to capture them in this juncture about a period that was almost lost in the early 1960s at such a monumental, pivotal point in the pop art movement,� said Kiwi Arts founder Mike Huter.
Warhol, who used every available medium to create his brand of imagery, died in 1987 at the age of 58. His output was prolific.
�If you amass all the sales of Warhols, he is by far the most sold ... in the art world� today, said Alex Rotter, Sotheby�s pop art expert, adding that Warhol began attracting museums and collectors in a big way in the 1980s.
The current auction record for a Warhol is $71.7 million. Privately, one of his works has sold for more than $100 million.
The show at the Site/109 gallery is just one of many current or planned Warhol exhibitions around the world.
A major Warhol retrospective now is on a five-city tour of Asia. After it concludes in Tokyo in 2014, it may travel to New York, Mexico City and possibly Istanbul, said Shiner.
During New York�s Frieze Art Fair next month, the Warhol Museum will show about 20 Warhol Polaroids alongside those by Jeremy Kost, a young New York artist who works under the rubric of the great pop artist. And Affirmation Art, a nonprofit art space in Manhattan, is showing 50 Warhol photographs, eight of which have never been seen outside the Warhol Museum.
But the showstopper will be a major exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art titled �Regarding Warhol: 50 Artists, 50 Years.� Scheduled to open in September and travel to Pittsburgh in 2013, �it will be a blockbuster exhibition showing how deeply entrenched Warhol is in contemporary art,� Shiner said.

ALAMEDA -- Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor admits he wasn't completely forthcoming last week regarding his right knee sprain and was a spectator Wednesday while backup Matt McGloin took snaps with the first-team offense.
"It was the competitive nature in myself," Pryor said. "I was thinking, 'I can go out, I've just got to do this. I can go sit in the pocket.' It fired back against me. I didn't want to let my teammates down.''
Coach Dennis Allen said the team will "monitor Terrelle as he goes through the week and see how he's feeling as the week goes on."
If Pyror is unable to play Sunday against Houston, McGloin would become the third starting quarterback for the Raiders this season.
After not letting on regarding his knee last week, Pryor wasn't making any bold predictions about facing the Texans at Reliant Stadium.
"It's up to the training staff and D.A.," he said. "However he feels about the situation, that's on him. And, obviously, myself, how I feel."
Pryor was 11-of-26 passing for 122 yards, one touchdown and an interception that Terrell Thomas returned 65 yards to set up the go-ahead touchdown as the New York Giants beat the Raiders 24-20 on Sunday.
In each of his first four games, Pryor never completed less than 62.4 percent of his passes, had games with passer ratings of 112.4 and 135.7 and had four touchdown passes and two interceptions.
In each of the past four games, he hasn't completed more than 53.7 percent of his passes and has one TD pass and eight interceptions.
Pryor said he's no less confident in his ability.
"I think I still bring excitement. I think I make people's eyes go wide on plays," he said. "I'm not too worried about a loss of confidence at all. It's just a learned lesson, and you try to put your head down and keep digging."
McGloin, an undrafted rookie out of Penn State, played late in a 49-20 loss to Philadelphia after Pryor twisted his knee on a scramble. McGloin completing 7 of 15 passes for 87 yards.
A McGloin start would take the read-option series out of play and give the Raiders an offense similar to what they anticipated until the departed Matt Flynn foundered and Pryor won the job.
McGloin was encouraged by the way the offense responded Wednesday.
"We're obviously two different quarterbacks," he said. "Terrelle can do a lot of great things. I obviously don't have the running ability he has, but I bring some good things to the table. I was proud of the way our offense handled me being in there for the first time."
If Pryor is inactive against Houston, Allen said the Raiders likely would promote fourth-round draft pick Tyler Wilson from the practice squad to be the backup quarterback.
Pashos, out the past four games with a hip injury, was limited in practice. Veldheer, who had triceps surgery late in training camp, put the pads on and began a 21-day clock during which time he can be taken of the injured reserve/designated for return list and placed on the 53-man roster.
Allen said Pashos did get some first-team reps and "if he's totally healthy you could see him in there."
Pashos said he participated only in the walk-through "and some individual stuff" and couldn't speculate on his availability.
"I'm happy to be out there and not in the training room," he said.
Whether it's Pashos or rookie Menelik Watson, the right tackle will have his hands full with Texans left defensive end J.J. Watt. Last season's NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Watt had two forced fumbles and recoveries in a 27-24 loss to Arizona last weekend and has sacks in each of his past four games.
Veldheer's progress will be monitored closely, and Allen wouldn't speculate when he could play in a game.
"Hopefully, it will be soon," Allen said.
Others who didn't participate in practice included strong safety Tyvon Branch (ankle), kicker Sebastian Janikowski (ribs), wide receiver Juron Criner (shoulder), linebacker Kaluka Maiava (ribs) and tackle Matt McCants (toe).

KENSINGTON -- The panel that oversees this unincorporated community's police department, garbage collection and other services has chosen an attorney with government experience to fill a board vacancy.
Len Welsh, head of workplace safety for the State Compensation Insurance Fund, will take the Kensington Police Protection and Community Services District board seat opened when Mari Metcalf resigned in December.
Welsh was chosen by the board's four members from a group of three candidates interviewed at a special meeting Wednesday evening, according to board President Tony Lloyd.
Board members were impressed especially with Welsh's background in labor and contract negotiations, Lloyd said.
The board will be negotiating with Bay View Refuse and Recycling over a new garbage contract and with the police over a new labor agreement, he said.
"His learning curve may be a lot quicker with his experience in government," Lloyd said. "He brings a balance of the regulatory environment, a legal background and (experience with) large business operations."
Welsh will complete the final two years of Metcalf's term.
The board was deadlocked 2-2 through three votes between Welsh and a second candidate, Becky Stephens, before member Chuck Toombs agreed to change his vote to break the tie, Lloyd said.
Stephens, noted for her involvement with schools and the community, had strong support from younger residents, Lloyd said.
"It was a very tough decision," he said. "The finalists were excellent candidates."
Kim Zvik, who ran unsuccessfully for the board last fall, was the third candidate to be interviewed.

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
USA, 2012, 98 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: American Indie, Comedy, Romance
Program: Women + FilmLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: Lauralee Farrer
Producer: Terence BerryEditor: Matt BarberScreenwriter: Lauralee Farrer, Jonathan FosterCinematographer: Brandon LippardPrincipal Cast: Tony Hale, Brigid Brannagh, K Callan, Nick Thune, Timothy V. Murphy, John Kapelos
Don't believe the title: Not That Funny is pretty funny. In director/screenwriter Lauralee Farrer's romantic comedy, Prince Charming is a nerd. Although he tells his friends he is "alone but not lonely," Stefan Lane (Tony Hale of Arrested Development) eats Chinese food out of the box, putters around his widowed landlady Toogey's house, and lives a pretty solitary small-town life. When Toogey's beautiful, high-powered granddaughter, Haley, blows into town on the arm of her sleazy Russian boss, she turns Stefan's serious world on its head. He can't take his eyes off her.
Dissatisfied with her stressful life and her jerk of a boyfriend, Haley decides to spend time with Toogey at the family homestead and reclaim happy childhood memories. When Stefan overhears her say all she really wants in a man is someone to make her laugh, he decides then and there to become a comedian. There's just one problem: he's not that funny. Stefan does some Internet research and finds an off-color stand-up comic named Norm Getz, who seems to have women fawning over him. In one of the film's funniest scenes, Stefan stalks Getz, knocks on his door, and begs for humor tips. Meanwhile, Haley, who seems more and more content to be back home, watches Stefan carefully and finds him to be the same solid, reliable type as her beloved grandfather.
Hale, also known for his roles in Chuck and Veep, shines as the serious-minded Stefan. His comedic timing and sympathetic portrayal of a serious man in love give the movie just the right amount of funny.

Dec. 3, 2013 Whether the game ends in a win or a loss, there's something that never leaves Aquinas coach James Leonard's side.
"It's been washed a few times, so i had to laminate it. It's always in my pants pocket, or my jacket pocket every night," Leonard said.
The youngest head coach in Georgia High School football has quite a bit of old school in his blood and in his pocket.
A picture of his grandfather, Denny Leonard, the first head coach of Aquinas football, stays on the Irish sideline. James has kept the picture in his pocket for every Aquinas football game over the last five years.
"It definitely makes me feel comfortable having it with me. I wouldn't say it was lucky because we've had a couple of losses in the last four or five years, but it's nice to have it with me and know it's there," Coach Leonard said.
Don't call it a four leaf clover, partly because the undefeated Irish don't need a lot of luck this season.
They have toughness and talent-- something that runs deep in the Leonard's blood.
"I think he got up in their grills just like I get up in their grills nowadays so I think we had a lot in common," Leonard said.
"He's pretty intense," quarterback Liam Welch said. "He's a lot of fun, but he's a really good coach."
It's been a year of firsts for the first-year head coach.
Aquinas completed it's first undefeated regular season.This week, it's their first trip to the GHSA-A private state semifinals.
Whether or not this season ends with the school's first football state championship. Coach Denny Leonard will be there every step of the way.
"I had just started playing football when (my grandfather) passed away," Leonard said. "We didn't talk about football a whole lot. It's kind of cool to have a little piece of him with me."

Police: Body of Man Found Off Cypress Gardens Blvd.
The area is a reported homeless camp in Winter Haven.
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 1:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 11:25 p.m.
WINTER HAVEN | Police are trying to identify the body of a man found at a reported homeless camp in Winter Haven.
The body was in the 900 block of Cypress Gardens Boulevard, approximately 20 to 30 yards from the roadway bridge, at the site of the former Slocum Water Gardens.
By the state of decomposition, police theorize the man has been dead for at least three days, said Jamie Brown, public information officer for Winter Haven police.
The man was found about 9:50 a.m. Tuesday by a survey crew.
Brown said investigators cannot determine at this time whether death was a result of foul play.
It wasn't possible to identify the body Tuesday without an autopsy, Brown said.
People who know of the homeless camp remembered a man who slept under the tree where the body was found.
Engedi Kenyatta said that several times she had seen a particular man living there and took him clothing and food.
She and her fiance go out into the community to feed homeless people and have learned individuals tend to keep to one camping spot and defend it from others, she said.
Police Lt. Brian Lieberman said the department has at least one case of an unidentified person found dead annually.
Anyone with information about this person is encouraged to call Winter Haven police detectives at 863-291-5858.

"Our job here is to prepare for the worst and obviously pray for the best, and that's exactly what we're doing."
Governor Phil Bryant made those remarks earlier Friday as the state begins making preparations for Isaac. Here at home, the Key Chapter of the American Red Cross is also taking steps to make sure East Mississippi is prepared to handle whatever Isaac sends our way.
Gordon Stewart, readiness and response manager for the Red Cross, tells us, "Locally, we're calling all of our local staff and checking their availability for this weekend and into next week. In addition, our emergency response vehicles are on alert, and we have volunteers ready to go and provide that mass care needs with food and water."
As actions are taken by the American Red Cross to open shelters and any alerts that may be coming out, you can actually access those on the go with an app developed by the American Red Cross.
Elizabeth Gibson, a volunteer with the Red Cross, explains some of the features of the app. "Similar tools have been available at redcross.org that because everybody's on the go now with their tablets and their phones that they can access it wherever they're at. It even has an alarm, a very loud alarm, that you can set to automatically go off just whenever an alert comes in. You definitely know it's a Red Cross warning."
The app is free to download for both Apple and Android powered devices. You can also set up alerts to notify you of warnings or shelter openings for different locations by zip code.

I had listened to Lawn Boy and a couple random bootlegs prior. (Luckily for me, Phish had a significant following in Keene and a lot of my friends had been to shows and turned me on to them). Thank you Jesse!
A month before the show, I listened to Antelope while alone in my bedroom. Just closed my eyes and listened, focusing soley on the music. It induced me to inadvertently meditate for the first time. I felt as though I'd lost time. I had to see this band.
To the show: We walked into the theater just as they opened with Suzy. The entire room was bouncing. The L probably enhanced this, but I'd never felt this type of energy before. I had another teenage musically-motivated meditative moment during Reba.
Everything was just fun and loose. The band's banter, Kathleen Turner, the drummer who played a fucking bag-vac, Simpsons signal, Smoke on Water (please don't smoke requests). It was raucous. A unique "Evening with Phish," as the tickets used to say. No memorable 20 min type II Ghost Jam....these were different times.
For instance, we got to leave the theatre during set break. Outside, fat flakes of snow began falling and a pyschadelic snowball fight ensued on Main Street.
I couldn't appreciate the signifigance of the Sanity encore bustout at the time, but it certainly summed up the evening for me. Quintessential Phish: segue from an electric, wailing mind-fuck Sanity into a flawless a capella of Memories and Carolina, with Kathleen Turner hitting the high notes .
I was hooked.

Tucked into the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains is the Santa Fe campus of St. John's College, 250 acres in the most beautiful part of Santa Fe, New Mexico, the country's oldest capital city. Just steps away from hiking trails, a short walk to half a dozen museums, and a longer walk to hundreds of galleries, St. John's, which is 7,300 feet above sea level, is the perfect blend of mountain living and access to culture. Santa Fe is a small, historic city built mostly of adobe in the downtown area. The population is what's known as tri-cultural—American Indian, Hispanic, and Anglo—a mixture that represents the old and the new, the traditional and the avant garde.
Santa Fe has traditions that go back generations and families that have called New Mexico home for over hundreds and even thousands of years, yet Santa Fe has long been a destination for people seeking creative inspiration, new experiences, easy access to nature, intellectual and psychological freedom, and spiritual awakening. St. John's College embodies the open and welcoming ethos of Santa Fe. Though the books we read are lofty and deep, rooted in history and tradition, the college community embraces a certain ease and lightheartedness shared by Santa Feans at large, as well as the local penchant for innovation, quirk, and creative thinking.
Santa Fe has a thriving live music scene as well as a burgeoning young-artist community. It is also home to cutting edge scientific research, multiple conservation organizations, and an active culinary scene. Los Alamos National Laboratory is nearby, as are the Santa Fe Institute, School for Advanced Research, IAIA (Institute of American Indian Arts), and other historic and culturally important sites and attractions. The city of Albuquerque is just over an hour's drive away. Many Santa Feans take advantage of easy access to hiking, skiing, snowboarding, and white water rafting on the Rio Grande.
Students from other parts of the country sometimes consider their time in Santa Fe as an adventure in the open West. Those from neighboring cities and states are sometimes surprised to find out that there is an internationally regarded Liberal Arts College in northern New Mexico. However you discovered us, we're glad you did.

Research Briefs
Boosting Soil Moisture. Studies examine soil improvement through use of "biochar"—charred biomass created from wood, other plant material and manure.
Breeding Grass. Researchers team up to create a widely popular variety of forage grass.
Rice for the Right Market. New aromatic, soft-cooking, long-grain rice varieties suited for markets predominantly filled by imports.
Sheep Tolerate Parasites. Scientists are first to discover genetic locations for parasite resistance in African sheep.
In developing regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, livestock producers are often faced with the challenge of managing diseases that infect animals, making it difficult to sustain herds and farm productivity. Rift Valley fever, East Coast fever and foot-and-mouth disease are three devastating diseases that harm livestock and threaten the livelihood of poor farmers.
To help keep animals alive, healthy and productive, scientists at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) have formed partnerships to find solutions to these serious diseases.
Taking Steps to Develop East Coast Fever Vaccines
For more than five years, researchers at the ARS Animal Disease Research Unit (ADRU) in Pullman, Wash., and at ILRI in Nairobi, Kenya, have been working to develop a vaccine that protects cattle against East Coast fever, a destructive disease in eastern and central Africa.
Developing a vaccine to help control East Coast fever in Kenya could lead to a vaccine for Texas cattle fever, which is a problem for cattle producers in the United States, says ADRU entomologist Glen Scoles.
"That's because these parasites and the ticks that transmit them are so similar," Scoles explains. "Proteins we identify in one organism can also be studied in the other."
Although diseases like East Coast fever are controlled in the United States, results from collaborations such as the one with ILRI will help prevent parasitic diseases here as well as in other countries, says Don Knowles, ADRU research leader.
"It's important that the global community works together to control diseases that limit food and fiber production, and East Coast fever is one of those diseases," Knowles says.
Scientists at ADRU and ILRI are studying the tick—Rhipicephalus appendiculatus—that transmits the parasite—Theileria parva—that causes East Coast fever. They have developed a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test that detects parasite DNA in ticks to quantify the level of infection.
In one study, researchers worked with two populations of nymphal ticks called Mugaga and Kiambu, which were developed at ILRI to have different Theileria parva susceptibilities. The two ticks were fed simultaneously on infected calves and then compared. The Muguga strain of tick had a low level of parasitic infection, and the Kiambu strain of tick was highly susceptible.
The next step is to look at genetic differences between the tick populations and to identify proteins produced in response to infection, Scoles says. These proteins might be good targets for a vaccine that would help control both the parasite and the tick that transmits it.
Preparing for Rift Valley Fever Vaccine Trials
Scientists at the ARS Center for Grain and Animal Health Research (CGAHR) in Manhattan, Kan., and in Kenya are developing and evaluating control strategies for viruses like Rift Valley fever, which is transmitted by mosquitoes.
The disease affects humans as well as animals, and can be deadly. In livestock, it causes abortions and high mortality in young animals.
William Wilson, a microbiologist in CGAHR's Arthropod-Borne Animal Disease Research Unit, is collaborating with researchers at the Kenya Medical Research Institute, the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute and ILRI. The group is studying mosquito populations at the Kenya Medical Research Institute for potential Rift Valley fever activity between outbreaks.
"We're laying the groundwork to conduct vaccine studies that will use ILRI researchers' expertise in immunology," Wilson says.
Part of that groundwork includes building an infrastructure and developing tools to conduct large Rift Valley fever vaccine trials and diagnostic evaluations at the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, he adds.
Applying New Technology to Track FMDV
A highly contagious infection, foot-and-mouth disease threatens the health and economic value of livestock in many countries. The disease hasn't occurred in the United States since 1929, but recent outbreaks have been reported in Japan, Bulgaria and South Korea.
At the ARS Foreign Animal Disease Research Unit, located at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center in Orient Point, N.Y., scientists are using a new tool that tracks the adaptive immune response of cattle to foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) vaccines.
The new technique, based on what are called major histocompatibility complex (MHC) tetramers (molecules), has only recently been applied to livestock, says ARS microbiologist William Golde. The method was first developed in mice and humans.
"The technology allows scientists to follow more complicated T cell immune responses, in addition to B cells," Golde says. "It is based on typing cattle, just like you type a human for an organ transplant and know exactly which molecules you're working with."
T cells have different jobs. Some send instructions to the rest of the immune system so the body can produce the most effective weapons against invaders—bacteria, viruses or parasites. Other types of T cells recognize and kill virus-infected cells directly. T cells also help B cells to make special Y-shaped proteins called antibodies that stop invaders in their tracks and alert the body, which then makes toxic substances to fight and destroy intruders.
The objective is to show that MHC tetramers can be applied to vaccine development in cattle and create tools for working with livestock diseases, says Golde, who has used the technique in pigs.
In the study, pigs were vaccinated either with a vaccine targeting T cells or another vaccine targeting B cells and then compared. The research showed that a different kind of immune response to FMDV could be induced by redesigning vaccines to target T cells.
Golde is partnering with ILRI researchers to apply these tools to other cattle diseases such as East Coast fever.
Rift Valley fever, East Coast fever, and foot-and-mouth disease studies are just a few of the many research projects under way between ARS and international scientists. Such collaborative research continues to help nations deal with global threats to livestock. It also promotes food security worldwide.

419: A Nigerian Email Confession
At the time I considered myself a pretty generous guy. I flipped a coin to the occasional homeless man who had the good fortune to extend his hand in my direction. When asked at a cash register if I wanted to donate one dollar to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, I usually said yes (unless, of course, I'd already donated at that particular location). I even, from time to time, took a carload of my broken or obsolete electronics to the Goodwill, which I'm sure made some poor immigrant family very happy. I imagined they'd make a fort out of my hollowed out TV, or they'd let their kids use my defunct microwave as a pretend Easy Bake Oven. These thoughts made my heart smile. I had a soft spot for the needy, and I made it my mission to help out whenever it was convenient.
My heart no longer smiles.
I am a despicable coward. I ignored a dying man's wish, and in the process sealed my own fate. I am racked with guilt, depressed and with no outlet to expose the heinous nature of my deed. This shall serve as my confession:
How and why was I being drawn into an international crisis, and why was I responsible for the life of a man whom I've never met?I arrived home from the grocery store in a foul mood. Not only did I wait in a much-longer-than-necessary line, but the checker gave me a dirty look when I said I would not like to donate one dollar to the Make-A-Wish Foundation (I tried to explain to her that I had already donated at that particular Ralphs location, but then I realized she probably didn't go to college and it might be insensitive of me to think she was capable of processing that information). To make matters worse, the Salvation Army Santa Claus diligently ringing his bell near the entrance gave me a splitting headache. That kind of "in your face" solicitation really gets to me.
As I prepared myself a cocktail of bottled water and ibuprofen, I thumbed through my mail. As I skimmed past the standard assortment of bills and credit card offers, I came across some delightful address labels that had been prepared and personalized just for me. If I liked the address labels, I was free to keep them, but in return they requested a small donation be made to the American Cancer Society. I'd heard of these kinds of scams before, and there was really no way to guarantee the money would ever make its way near the intended destination. I decided that it would be a shame to waste the truly charming address labels, so I considered it a victory for victims of scam artists everywhere.
I fired up my laptop, cruised over to freerice.com (very generous), and played word games until I was convinced I'd filled several small villages with rice. When I got bored of increasing my vocabulary I loaded up my Hotmail, eager to peruse my various social networking notifications and check the status of the Energy Star rebate I'd sent in like three months ago (sometimes it's like, "That's what I get for trying to help the environment!"). Sandwiched between the series of emails inviting me to join a sustainable food initiative (what, so you can send me more emails?) and the emails reminding me that my Peace Corps application from two years ago was still 25% complete, I saw this:
Dear Mr. Charels,
It is with good fortunes that my message reaches you. My name is President Yusef Saraki of Nigeria. The Nigerian government has been overturned. I am presently under house arrest and my assets have been frozen by the new regime. I fear they will soon kill me, and I cannot bear the thought of my childrens' future being taken by the wicked dogs who feast at the coyote's teat. I need to transfer a total sum of US$60M to an offshore non-resident bank account.
In order for me to do so, I need you to sign a document as "next to kin" and pay $200 a day to ensure my safety until the funds can be wire-transferred to your account. To avoid any interruption, dear Charels, I must require a small advancement fee (approximately 30 days worth) until the wire transfer is completed.
Upon completion of the wire transfer to you, I will find a way to escape Nigeria and move to Korea with my family, at which time you will be entitled to 10%, or $6 million, for your troubles. As this is a life or death matter the entire transaction must be completed within two weeks. You must never tell anyone of this transaction, as it is a matter of national security. I have attached a copy of the Bilateral Agreement between myself and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation in Johannesburg, South Africa.
It is with great distress that I ask for your salvation! May God guide us in our transaction.
Your faithful friend,
Yusef Saraki
President of Nigeria
1 attachment
My heart sank. How and why was I being drawn into an international crisis, and why was I responsible for the life of a man far important than I, whom I've never met? I initially approached the email with skepticism, but once I was sure that the attachment was definitely not a computer virus (that was the LAST thing I needed), I looked over his document. It checked out. It contained the information he said it would, and who was I to doubt the legitimacy of international protocol!
My mind began to race. Six million dollars! I imagined myself six million dollars richer, attending fancy parties and never again needing to reuse the plastic bottles that housed my Crystal Light. But at what cost?! For weeks I would be responsible for the life of a man whom I might never meet, and my only contribution to his survival would be in monetary form. Was I ready for that kind of responsibility?
I thought again of the six million dollars. That was a lot of money. With that kind of money, I wouldn't have a reason to say no to the Make-A-Wish Foundation (though I could imagine burning through my dollars pretty quickly, so maybe it was best to stick to the original plan). I thought of the Nigerian president, furiously typing a message on his iPhone, beaming it out into cyberspace and hoping desperately that someone found his message in the bottle. Why me? I had so many questions. The six million dollars would be in one lump sum, right? To distract myself, I began looking at flat screen TVs on BestBuy.com (oh man, I'd even be able to pop for the extended warranty) and imagined how my apartment would look with a wall-sized fish tank in the area that once divided the kitchen and living room.
I couldn't imagine myself feeling financially secure with only five million dollars, while Saraki and his ungrateful kids would be living it up in Korea.As my mind danced around various scenarios for spending my six million dollars, I thought about the process that would lead to my eventual windfall. Honestly, the whole thing sounded like a lot of work. Assuming Saraki was still alive (the email was a couple days old), would he be able to get to a bank and deposit a check into my account without a hitch? Would he also reimburse my $200 a day in addition to the six million dollars? Was I supposed to write him a thank you note? Was I getting a good deal? I mean 90/10 didn't exactly seem like a fair trade when I could TECHNICALLY keep all of it (once it was in my account, it was MY money). I wouldn't do that, because I'm a pretty generous guy, but something along the lines of 60/40 would definitely sweeten the deal. Would I have to make any international phone calls? Those can get pretty expensive. Once I had the six (or twenty-four, depending on whether or not Saraki was a cheapskate) million dollars I guess it really wouldn't matter, but my head began to swirl when I thought about how inconvenient several steps in this process would probably be.
I began to resent Saraki for his imposition. Wasn't the UN supposed to handle things like this? Though I'd always heard they were pretty corrupt, I figured there were professionals who were far more equipped to deal with international crises than I. But then they'd get their greedy paws on my six million dollars, and that didn't sit well with me at all. Besides, I'd already added the flat screen (with that sweet extended warranty) to my cart, so it was as good as a done deal. Or did I want TWO flat screens? I couldn't wait to talk about those at all my fancy parties.
Still, I wasn't sure that it was worth the trouble. If Saraki decided to low-ball me and stick with the six million dollar figure, I'm assuming a transfer of that kind would come with some pretty hefty taxes, so we were probably talking more like five million dollars. I couldn't imagine myself feeling financially secure with only five million dollars. Saraki and his ungrateful kids would be living it up in Korea while I'd be sitting at home watching my ONE flat screen TV (without the extended warranty, thanks to the deposed miser), and in a sense he'd also be doing a disservice to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, because I certainly wouldn't be willing to part with too many dollar bills with only five million dollars to my name.
I decided to sleep on it.
The next morning I awoke and my decision was made. I deleted the President of Nigeria's email. "God speed, Yusef Saraki," I thought to myself. Still wanting to feel as though I'd done something worthwhile, I headed back to freerice.com (I even have it bookmarked) and played until I got bored.
For the next several days, I checked my email often, hoping to receive word from Yusef that he'd found a suitable intermediary with which to secure his escape, and I wondered if maybe he'd attach some pictures of his trip to Korea. I'd never been to Asia, but I assumed it would be nice.
That email never came.
I can only assume that Saraki and his entire family were killed by the rebels, and that the new government of Nigeria had sixty million dollars with which to re-establish the rule of law in the war torn country. I thought about looking up Saraki to see if there was some word regarding his status, but the thought of what I might discover made me feel icky. Anytime these thoughts crept into my brain, I loaded up freerice.com and immediately felt better. Africa must just be rolling in the rice.
Every once in a while I thought about the Saraki's and felt a brief pang of sadness when I imagined their fates. I also sometimes wondered if they had actually made it to Korea (which usually made me sub-wonder whether or not Korean BBQ was better in Korea than it was here, but I knew that was a ridiculous question. Of course it was), but I considered that unlikely. Rebels tend to be relentless. Mostly, as I stared at the blank, flat screen-less walls and my nonexistent giant fish tank, I thought about how much I would have liked to have six million dollars. I'll always regret passing that up.
Haha I'm familiar with Mr. Saraki as well..
Funny stuff and great writing style!!
For you to consider the offer, you must be a bigger thief
first off Nigeria isnt war torn, just very corrupt. I would know; i live there. And next time before you get all excited about stuff like this ...google it... Yusef Saraki isnt even the president of Nigeria
you are a dumb faggot for not realizing the purpose of the article. Idiot.
Obviously Yusef Saraki isn't the president of Nigeria...he was deposed. Hence the reason he's asking for my help. Also, I don't use google. I text KGB.
To the last two posters: Really guys? Really?
Simple common sense would have made you google the man & realise that Nigeria has never had a prsident by the name of Saraki. Your greed made you turn a blind eye to all the signs of a scam.
You are an idiot too. Piece of shit.
hey people, im pretty sure he is being sarcastic here, making fun of the thousands of dumb nigerians who prey on even more idoitic people who fall for such scams. dont take the post literally you fools.
some people just cant understand sarcasm when they see one
Are you a fucking retard? Nigeria is full of corrupt people with bullshit scams. You seem like an overly excessive happy-go-lucky guy who wants to see the best of people and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Well that's great, but newsflash: I get e-mails from Nigeria all the time, and it's always criminals asking for money. I can't believe you even for a second still think about some fake person who isn't even the president of Nigeria!!! Look that one up! Don't be like an old person and get duped out of however much they ask for. If you would've responded, they would've asked for money in order to send you the "millions" of dollars they are rolling in. Also, people in Nigeria probably have more guns than they do dollar bills (criminals at least). Please grow up and grow a brain understanding that not all people in the world are good. Some are only out to serve themselves and couldn't give a rat's ass if they hurt anyone else. We are living in the twenty first century here, this deals a lot with human nature. If you're in college I suggest you take a Psychology class.
You are fucking retarded. Please go back to school.
I'm intrigued by this "psychology" you speak of. I have consulted my course catalog, and my college indeed offers a class in that very subject! It's disappointing to think that Mr. Saraki would try to deceive me, but thankfully you were looking out. Well done.
God I hope this really is a sarcastic take on what goes through the minds of complete idiots who are willing to give out their bank account and credit card numbers...
hahaha funny :) thx for good read
Great article...made funnier by the comments....For the people who think the writer is being serious...HE is not..thats why its funny and thats why its on Pointsincase as opposed to being on a serious newspaper site like theonion, now that is some hard hitting non bullshit non sarcastic newspaper.
If you get wound up by what he wrote (even in jest) then i dare say check out www.theonion.com
Man I love your writing style.... that was good read!
I noticed people who quote on this article either get it or don't. Those that don't are the same people who comment on youtube. Those that do are the type of people I respect.
The writing style is awesome. Its written so well that if you have an IQ below 110, you'll think its serious :)
Nigeria boy here again...if u say u were being sarcasm, no problem. just looking out!!
It is unbelievable to me that people are arguing over whether or not this is sarcasm. Isn't this a website centered on parody and humor? Also, Charlie's writing style is extremely clear; any idiot can see that he's joking. Or, sorry, Erin, I guess not ANY idiot can tell.
i suggest you check out http://www.27bslash6.com/ i came across it, has the same similar way of describing stupidity.

He still look good. Shrug.
Jealousy will get you no where in life!

OK I have a HP MediaSmart Server EX490
1) 80Gb ps3 connected by wire to my router
2) EX490 connected by wire to router
3) I have a Netgear Rangemax wireless router WPN824
http://www.netgear.com/Products/Routers ... PN824.aspx
I shutdown twonky to see if that was the issue and it wasn't. I have the following file formats on the EX490. (MKV, MP4, AVI). The avi plays great. Some MKVS like 2010 and the hangover play great others like ninja assassin and Sherlock Holmes gets choppy after a while. The mp4s are just choppy after a few seconds. I don't understand how for example 2012 and the hangover which are 6GB and up MKV file can play great and a 1GB mp4 lags like crazy.
Whatever input you have please help me out. If I cant get this to work there is no reason for me to have this as this is the MAIN purpose i bought it for.
I also read that maybe changing the settings but why am I going to play a crappy quality.
Or some say play the movie and pause for a few in the very beginning for the info can send to the ps3 quicker. I did that yesterday and it worked for some not all.

You don't have PS3? Search for "CIDERO" on google.com and see how it will display on PS3.
PMS will give you 2 options at the same time on PS3, remuxed one and transcoded one. If remuxed one will not work for you, you can try transcoded one which will work in 99.9% in case mkv will not be somehow damaged

STANFORD -- Two teams not expected to reach the Rose Bowl will meet in Pasadena on Jan. 1, and Stanford defensive end Ben Gardner said no one will be disappointed by the matchup against Wisconsin.
"It's going to be a bloodbath," he said. "It's going to be a physical matchup up front."
For the No. 8 Cardinal (11-2), the game represents a chance to win a Rose Bowl for the first time since Jan. 1, 1972. These same teams met in the 2000 Rose Bowl -- Stanford's only appearance since -- with the Badgers posting a 17-9 victory.
"This transcends all of us on this team," said senior nickel back Usua Amanam.
Wisconsin (8-5) will arrive at the Rose Bowl for the third straight year, having lost the previous two but now playing its best football of the season. The day after Stanford held off UCLA 27-24 in the Pac-12 title game, the Badgers blasted Nebraska 70-31 in the Big Ten championship game.
"It was a show," Stanford coach David Shaw said of the Badgers' performance. "I wouldn't say I was surprised. I would say they're a team that had some tough breaks earlier in the year.
"What I saw the other night was a team that was confident, a team that knew who it was and a team that played extremely well. They really exploded. We're going to have to step our play up in order to be ready to play with these guys."
The Badgers lost three overtime games this season, and their five defeats were by a combined total of 19 points. They found a place in the Big Ten championship game because division rivals Ohio State and Penn State were ineligible for postseason play.
When it mattered, the Badgers were very good. In their five most recent victories, they outscored their opponents by a combined margin of 153 points.
Coach Bret Bielema knows people wonder about the first five-loss team to qualify for the Rose Bowl, but he isn't making apologies.
"I understand the question," he said. "But we're proud of who we are, where we are and what we represent."
In an era of wide-open college football, both teams are physical, run-oriented teams. Wisconsin senior running back Montee Ball has rushed for more than 5,000 yards in his career and owns the NCAA record of 76 rushing touchdowns.
"It'll be old-fashioned football. It'll be fun," Stanford linebacker Shayne Skov said.
Gardner grew up in Mequon, Wis., although he said the Badgers did not recruit him. "They didn't want me," he laughed. "Growing up in Big Ten country, the Rose Bowl is THE game. I've been watching it since I was in diapers."
Getting to Pasadena on New Year's Day was "kind of the mission statement" for Stanford this season, said outside linebacker Trent Murphy.
But just making an appearance isn't good enough, he said. "It's about being successful there, winning there, showing the world we belong," Murphy said.
Skov knows outsiders expected the Cardinal to disappear in the wake of coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Andrew Luck leaving for the NFL the past two seasons. Instead, the Cardinal is playing in its third straight BCS bowl game.
"People kind of doubted us," Skov said. "Hopefully, it's a sign to the nation that we're here to stay."
