February 15, 2004, 04:03 AM
If the AWB passes congress (by a narrow margin), lands on Bush's desk and he signs it into law. (for arguement's sake it doesn't matter if it is the same one a worse one or a 'better' one) will you vote for him?

I will not vote for him anyway.
DONT VOTE FOR BUSH OR KERRY. :banghead:
February 15, 2004, 05:33 AM
Hell, no!
February 15, 2004, 06:21 AM
We(gun owners) have been waiting for 10 years for this blighted law to be ended. Why would we vote for anyone who says that he's gonna continue it. The best thing that GWB can do is to keep his mouth shut and just let Clinton's gun ban to fade away.
The Senate will be voting on S. 659 in a few weeks to galvanize the NRA and gun owners to their side. They've got to give us something; both at the NRA convention(passage of S.659) and leading up to the election(Clinton's gun ban demise) to cheer about.
February 15, 2004, 07:18 AM
Allowing the ban to pass is one of the only things that will keep me voting for Bush. Im not REAL happy with him as it is. But, he is the best choice for now. BUT, if he does sign the ban he will be no better for this country than Kerry. And it would be worth it to send that message to the repub leadership.

there is no way the AWB is going to be allowed out of committee this year.
February 15, 2004, 10:09 AM
Somebody voted yes?:what:
February 15, 2004, 10:32 AM
I might vote for him if he repealed the NFA and GCA, and refused to sign a new AWB...
February 15, 2004, 10:47 AM
Bush doesnt have much hope of getting my vote no matter what, but a vote for an AWB will ensure that he doesnt get it.
February 15, 2004, 10:59 AM
I wouldn't vote for Herr Shrub or that other fellow who I know tossed the apples at Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz" movie.
I don't care what he does with the AWB - my expectation is it will expire and then magically resurface once Herr Shrub wins the election and gets four more years to wipe his behind with the Constitution.
February 15, 2004, 11:02 AM
February 15, 2004, 01:07 PM
I voted "no" only because there wasn't a "Hell No" option.
Bush is in trouble and he needs us gun owners to win the election. I've sent him a letter to that effect and will certainly vote Libertarian if he re-signs the AWB (yes, yes, assuming it gets out of committee).
February 15, 2004, 01:32 PM
it doesnt matter who you elect they all will sign it.
February 15, 2004, 02:02 PM
The AWB will not make it to his desk before November. But just as soon as he has won another four years at the trough, it'll appear as if by magic.
Does anybody remember the JFK quote about 'when the means of peaceful revolution are removed, only the violent means remain'? (Something like that, anyway.) How does it feel to be at war--- and losing?

I wont vote for either of the two evils. Vote libertarian, and you will sleep better at night. I know I will.

Tell the vote counters how you feel. I have.
February 16, 2004, 01:54 AM
I am a dyed in the wool conservative. Bush isn't.
'Nuff said.
February 16, 2004, 03:12 AM
I dont have a problem with sending bush a message but the message you guys need to learn is kerry is not going to be any better. nor will dean. edwards I dont know much about.
do I absolutely like what bush has done no. he has done good with war though could of done better with iraq cause for war. rather war on terror be overseas than here. the big spending is discusting, I hate big government myself. the imigration status stuff sounds like a total waste.
no clear better option. kerry would strip the military of theyre fancy weapons if given the chance and ability. no doubt he would do the same to civilians. he is complete friend of brady bunch and not the firearms lover.
thread is a bit of a waste other than sending bush a message:no awb renewal.
better to make a an effort together than to throw away a vote on some 3rd party pipe dream. you will make yourself irrelevant if you dont voice to GB you dont want the AWB to be renewed.
Greg Bell
February 16, 2004, 03:27 AM
I can tolerate Bush claiming he supports the AWB while blantantly doing nothing to support it (and thus allowing it to expire). But if he actually signs it, or worse, starts pushing for it to pass, I'll then vote for Snoopy(Libertarians are too spineless on defense).
Don't get me wrong, I'm planning on voting for Bush. But I fully expect him to continue doing what he has been doing with regard to the AWB: nothing.
February 16, 2004, 07:32 AM
Vote libertarian, and you will sleep better at night.
Wise advice. I concur. :cool:
cracked butt
February 16, 2004, 08:01 AM
Yes, I will still vote for him, he isn't much of an alternative to John effen Kerry, but he's still a much better choice if you don't want to see anti-gun propaganda spew out of the Executive Office on a daily basis. Its sort of like taking a punch to the shoulder to avoid taking a punch to the chin.
If this bill gets to his desk, its time to take a serious look at the Republican leadership in congress. Remeber, GW said he would sign an AWB if it makes it to his desk- to me it sounds like a line drawn in the sand meaning that if the republicans in congress allow such drap to reach his desk, he's taking them all down.
February 16, 2004, 09:07 AM
I don't believe it will happen before the election . . . all Congress has to do is nothing for the AWB to expire . . . but after the election, I'm not so sure.
With a GOP house, a GOP senate and a GOP president, any renewal of the AWB will make it a GOP gun ban. I'll blame the party, as any scenario for renewal before the AWB expires will require the actions of a whole bunch of Republicans, not just one man.
And if the AWB is renewed before the election, I will not vote for ANY member of the GOP for ANY office, even if it's third assistant dog catcher in my home town.
Better a declared enemy (democRATS) than a backstabbing "friend."
(Bush's hard left turns during the past two years are making it harder and harder to justify voting for him anyway . . . an AWB renewal would be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.)
February 16, 2004, 09:14 AM
Good replies from all. My support for the President is weakened enough that I have become essentially a single-issue voter this time. While I couldn't bring myself to vote for the presumptive demo nominee, I will gladly write in John Galt as my choice. :neener:

IMHO, Nothing will happen until 2005
if Bush is re-elected,
the Republocrats will kill any AWB as an "in yer face" to the Demicans
If Kerry is elected,
the reverse might occur,
but the majority in the house and senate will need to slip as well
Both parties will be too occupied this fall to accomplish much of anything new.
(unless we have Columbine 2.0)
Since the ban ends September 14th, 2004,
it would appear there is a window of opportunity to aquire full cap mags, folding stocks and threaded flashhiders...
Attaching the above to a post 1994 manufactured AR15 will be legal, but it creates an added complexity to any feature and date based definition of an AW.
Expect in a new AWB, the feature list to be replaced with specific model list like California's and the strawman SB288 in Maryland right now.
One can take heart from the testimony given by the antis in Annapolis last week.
They really did not have factual data, and we know the VPC was feeding them.
The statistics they did try to spin were meaningless, once the truth about the "statistically insignificant" 6.7 decrease in AW use in crime was revealed.
February 16, 2004, 06:29 PM
• The House has a Republican majority.
• The Senate has a Republican majority.
• The President is a Republican.
• We are wringing our hands at the very real possibility that the AWB will be re-newed.
• Some people, advocates of the 2nd Amendment no less, actually continue to support the Republican Party.
Something is deffinitely wrong with this picture!
February 16, 2004, 06:34 PM
The problem with the gun issue is the fact that it is an issue at all. It should not be. There lies the crux of the problem. You will never see gun owners unite because there are so many other issues that really should be issues. Five minutes in L&P should convince you that it just isn't going to happen. You and I (and 20 million others for that matter) may agree on gun issues, but what about the rest of the issues?
February 16, 2004, 08:31 PM
...but what about the rest of the issues?
The same should be done concerning the 2nd Amendment "issue(s)" as with any and all issues:
1) Square them all with the intent of the Constitution of the United States of America.
2) Where #1 does not apply, square them with the Constitution of the particular State concerned.

The problem is that we don't have any other choices. Bush will sign a new AWB if he gets one. Kerry will certainly sign one, and then immediately push for newer and more stringent gun bans. None of the thrid party candidates stand a chance of winning, so a vote for any of them is wasted.
I think we've already lost. There's no way for us to gain anything profitable, as far as gun rights are concerned, by selecting the next president.
Thus, I feel that it is prudent to minimize our losses to the best of our ability. We may have nothing to gain in the arena of gun rights, but there is more to freedom than just the right to keep and bear arms. Other equally important issues include the right to keep the product of our labors, to live in privacy from the government, to educate our children without government indoctrination, and generally to go about our lives without intrusion. Gun rights are an important aspect of liberty, but they aren't the only important aspect.
By that reasoning, I conclude that Bush is certainly the better choice (Patriot Act notwithstanding). Bush is far more inline with the overall concept of freedom than is Kerry.
That said, I still don't think I could bring myself to vote for George if he signs a new AWB.

The Middle Road to Disaster
By Gerard Valentino
CNSNews.com Commentary
February 12, 2004
Beware Republicans; we are going down the same path that caused the disaster that is today's Democratic Party.
Second Amendment rights, low taxes and fiscal responsibility spawned the Republican revolution in the 1990s. Fed up with the growing nanny state and infringements on the right to bear arms, voters threw out the Democrats in an unprecedented 1994 congressional midterm sweep.
Ten years later the Republican Party abandoned its base, moved decidedly toward the middle of the road and the revolution has faded into oblivion. An old clich\'e9 says those that who forget history are doomed to repeat it - if they care about staying in power leaders of the Republican Party better get out the history book soon.
President Bush already alienated the conservative wing of the party by creating the Department of Homeland Security, a large, expensive and unwieldy government bureaucracy. He furthered angered the conservative faithful with the fiscal disaster that is the new prescription drug plan. Less than six months after its creation Bush already increased the expected budget from $400 million to $512 million. The cost will certainly go up further from there.
With the federal assault weapon ban set to sunset in the latter part of 2004, Bush and the Republican Party have a huge test in front of them. Do they keep their promise and allow the ban to expire or extend it in an attempt to win votes from the middle of the road?
President Clinton failed a similar test when he supported the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Many believe it was his endorsement of NAFTA, combined with the Democrats continued push for stricter gun control that led to the huge Republican victory in the 1994 midterm elections.
Clinton's attempt to bow to the center and right of the Democratic Party angered traditional Democrats who stayed home during the 1994 midterm election. Republicans, galvanized by their anger over the assault weapons ban, voted in force and a revolution was created.
Now the tables have turned. Still in a state of disarray, Democrats are doing their best to gather forces in a bid to take back the White House. Meanwhile, Republicans, led by Bush, are a party slowing losing focus, determined to be all things to all people, without a vision or ideological integrity.
Bush's NAFTA is the assault weapons ban. But instead of putting a midterm election in jeopardy, his chances of keeping the White House are at risk.
Only strong support for letting the ban sunset will appease conservatives and Second Amendment supporters. Anything else will look like third attempt to buy votes from the middle and left at the expense of traditional Republican faithful.
Bush might be able to alienate the middle road conservative but the far-right ideologues will not stand idle a third time. Again, we have recent history to use as a reference; many on the far left defected from Al Gore's campaign by casting their vote for Ralph Nader in the 2000 presidential election in response to the Democratic Party's shift away from a traditional liberal agenda.
Had they stayed in the Democrat camp we never would have been subjected to the term "pregnant chad" or the seemingly never-ending recounts. Political experts believe the country is still evenly split over the same issues that caused the painfully close election results in 2000 - and most polls back up their theory.
If he wants to avoid a one-term presidency like his father, George W. Bush needs to learn the lesson painfully demonstrated by the Clinton-led Democratic Party and do everything possible to keep his base strongly behind his campaign.
Otherwise, Bush's decision to extend the assault weapons ban may go down in history with his father's no new taxes pledge as a fundamental political blunder that led to the undoing of a presidency.

Stephen Rea, Miranda Richardson, Forest Whitaker
This exhilarating whirlwind of a drama, directed and written by Neil Jordan, begins as a variation on Frank O'Connor's classic short story Guests of the Nation, about IRA terrorists who make the heartbreaking mistake of becoming friendly with the British hostages they are finally ordered to kill. Jordan's version ultimately suggests the surprising question: Is Rea, the terrorist here, perhaps even in love with hostage Whitaker?
Long before we get to that point, though, the movie has changed course at least twice, with startling twists that might not work if Jordan's touch weren't so sure and the atmosphere so lullingly beautiful; the colors are rich and dark, as if deepened by rain. Then, too, there are wildly contrasting performances by shaggy, sad-faced Rea and the electrifying Richardson, who plays his comrade-in-arms as a kind of gorgeous cobra, poised to strike at any moment.
And, of course, there are those plot twists, and the rather pleasurable suspense of wondering whether Jordan's story—which abruptly shifts from Northern Ireland to London, where Rea seeks out Whitaker's girlfriend—is finally going to run away from him. It doesn't, although it comes close to derailing a few limes. (There is a repeated, goofy shot of the hefty Whitaker bowling in cricket gear.) The movie ends with an explosion of violence, but Jordan's spell is so powerful he probably could have brought Bullwinkle B. Moose down from the sky in a golden chariot, and that would have been fine, too. (R)

The following is a "best of Cydia" list, containing the 10 must-have sources for Cydia apps (Cydia repos) to make your iOS experience more rewarding. Read on to find out what the best of Cydia has to offer.
The advantage of running a jailbroken iOS device, whether iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, is that you get the best of Cydia and what it has to offer: packages and tweaks that Apple would otherwise never allow in their closed system would enhance your user experience and bring more useful functionality to your device. Combine that with customizations like themes, ringtones, video wallpapers, lockscreen modifiers etc, and you got a very decent user experience. There is, however, one catch, and that is where to get all these cool applications/packages from? Obviously Cydia, but which are the repository sources for Cydia that have these apps?
Before I delve into listing down my picks for the best, please understand that not all of these sources for Cydia apps are safe or legal. A lot of them offer warez i.e. cracked applications, from both Cydia and Apple's App Store. Others may even contain malware and corrupted content, so be aware of the risks that you're taking before choosing to use any of these. We won't be responsible for any damage, and you have been warned so be careful!
Best Of Cydia #1. Hackulo.us Repository
At number one of the best sources for Cydia apps list is Hackulo.us because it's probably the most important, at least in my opinion. Adding this source gives you access to Installous, an app that allows you to install most premium App Store apps for free and try them before making the actual purchase.
Cydia repo address: http://cydia.hackulo.us
Best Of Cydia #2. Insanelyi Repository
This source for Cydia apps is my personal favorite, mainly because of the huge number of tweaks, apps, themes, etc. that it stores, and the fact that it updates really fast. While Insanelyi also offers premium Cydia content for free, their packages are never outdated and problem-free. A must-have source for Cydia apps for all jailbroken iOS device owners.
Cydia repo address: http://repo.insanelyi.com
Best Of Cydia #3. xSellize Repository
This is one big repository that offers a lot of content, particularly game emulators for iPhone and iPod Touch. Other features of xSellize include some nice retina-display themes, iPad HD themes and even a few useful tweaks like Cycorder and Cyntact — definitely a must-add source for Cydia apps.
Cydia repo address: http://cydia.xsellize.com
Best Of Cydia #4. iHacksRepo
Like Insanelyi, this source for Cydia apps is also a highly-recommended one for iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G users. Not only does it contain loads of essential tweaks and mods, it's also packed with ROMs, emulators, themes and ringtones, etc. It is also one of those repos that distribute premium content for free.
Cydia repo address: http://ihacksrepo.com
Best Of Cydia #5. SiNful iPhone Repository
The SiNful iPhone repo has never been my personal favorite, but it hosts a huge collection of warez apps from the Cydia store. Their packages are not always up to date, but they have a huge community support in the form of a forum. Some famous apps available on SiNful iPhone include BiteSMS, MyWi, Attachment Saver, iRealSMS, FaceBreak, iFile, iBlueNova and much more.
Cydia repo address: http://sinfuliphonerepo.com
Best Of Cydia #6. HackYouriPhone Repository
An Italian Cydia repo, this is a pretty good source for Cydia apps such as themes and lockscreen mods, including animated lockscreens. They also host some nice HD themes for Winterboard.
Cydia repo address: http://repo.hackyouriphone.org
Best Of Cydia #7. BiteYourApple Repository
Just another Cydia repository offering themes, ringtones, wallpapers and mods. BiteYourApple also contains all packages from Hackulo.us, so you can do with adding just one. What makes this a must-have source for Cydia apps is the inclusion of some famous packages like WiFi Sync, Folder Enhancer, Frash Toggle, GroupSMS, Insomnia Pro, etc.
Cydia repo address: http://repo.biteyourapple.net
Best Of Cydia #8. iPhoneCake Repository
This Cydia repository is as delicious as its name sounds, because it hosts the AppCake app. AppCake is an Installous alternative which has the double advantage of not only giving access to premium App Store apps for free, but also providing cracked versions of paid Cydia apps. Check out their official website as well.
Cydia repo address: http://cydia.iphonecake.com
Best Of Cydia #9. YourCydiaRepo
A nice source for Cydia apps especially for those interested in mods and tweaks without having to browse through lists and lists of themes and wallapaper packs, which are absent on YourCydiaRepo. It also does not host any cracked app, so all you'll get is either paid or free stuff. Definitely worth a try for all tweaking enthusiasts.
Cydia repo address: http://yourcydiarepo.org
Best Of Cydia #10. iSpazio Repository
The official Cydia repository of the Italian iPhone website, iSpazio, hosts a large selection of ringtones, themes and tweaks, including those for SMS. This repository also specializes in being the home of some of the best lockscreen tweaks and themes.
Cydia repo address: http://cydia.hackulo.us
These are my picks for best of cydia and the 10 must-have sources for Cydia apps. There are loads more out there, and if you have a favorite of your own, let us know through your comments.

Imaginawesome – Children's Drawings, Reimagined (Photos)Meghan Gesswein
As someone who has very little (read: no) artistic ability, I know how frustrating it is to be artistically challenged. My 7-year-old desperately wants to be a decent artist, but unfortunately for him, it seems as though he inherited my abilities. He often gets really frustrated that he can't translate the vision in his head to the paper in front of him. This has led to many, many frustrating moments for both of us.
Enter Garrett Miller, a Washington, DC based artist who has taken it upon himself to take art submissions from children and give them a sophisticated twist. He asks for a brief description of the drawing, and then gives it a fresh, more grown up perspective.
The results are amazing, and would give any kid a boost of confidence in the drawing department. You can see a few of his creations below, but be sure to check out his blog, Imaginawesome, for more examples, and to learn how to submit your child's drawing!

Before we start talking about treating your yeast infection, you want to make sure that you have one. If you're not sure, the best thing to do is seek medical advice. Three out of four women have at least one yeast infection in their lives. And 50% of those will have more than one. So most of us know when we're having a yeast infection. But some of the symptoms could also be symptoms of a bacterial infection or an STD.
IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO A FAST and SAFE YEAST INFECTION CURE THAT WORKS IN
Why does yogurt work and how do you treat a yeast infection with yogurt.
Yeast is normally present in our bodies all the time. It is the overgrowth of yeast that gives us the problem. Your vagina is normally pretty acidic which keeps the yeast in check. Sometimes that balance is changed by taking antibiotics, birth control pills, or using certain personal care products. When that happens the yeast starts to multiply faster than our bodies can kill it off. The active cultures in yogurt can immediately start to kill off the yeast.
There are a few different ways to treat a yeast infection with yogurt. (This may be quite graphic for some.) First off, only use regular, sugar free yogurt with active cultures. If you use flavored yogurt, the sugar will negate the effects of the active cultures. You can dip a tampon in the yogurt and place it in your vagina. If you can't use a tampon, you need some type of syringe, like a turkey baster to put the yogurt in. You can also spread some yogurt directly on the labia for relief. Wear a light pad for leakage. You will feel relief quickly and after a few days, you should be symptom free. Some people recommend eating yogurt regularly to prevent infections from returning.
Are you thinking, 'yuk'? Well is it better than placing a clove of garlic or a slice of grapefruit in your vagina? These are also home remedies for treating a yeast infection. But, what if you could treat a yeast infection with just a couple sprays under your tongue, three times a day?

Hey everyone,
I've been playing tekkit on the computer version of Minecraft and thought how good tekkit would be on Xbox. I'm hoping that you guys who read this, would pass on this message to anyone, who you know who is in direct contact with anyone at Microsoft to see if they will allow this one mod on Xbox
I'm just gonna let you know right now in case anything in the future get's out of hand somehow, Tekkit isn't a mod, it's a Mod "Pack" meaning it contains a few to alot of mods. And this has nothing to do with Microsoft I think. What I know is 4J Studios is trying to allow us to create our own skins for free and allow computer mods on xbox, all for free, but something about this get's lawyer "Excited". So this is what's going down. I even heard from a youtube video that they are going to give us mods, but it's from Microsoft and all the money goes to Microsoft, meaning that the mods do cost money. Here's another thing, on another forum long ago, someone said that he made a Tekkit in Xbox Minecraft, not sure if it's true, but he said it's gonna cost money. My friend see it too, I seen it was $60, (Not fair for a $20 game) and he seen $20. I don't know how we went to the same forum and the same exact spot it was diffrent. This is all I have to say.
Another thing, sorry, they are hearing us and thinking for us, but it just won't happen. (This is most likely not right, just my thought, talking bout what's after this) I think this is due to a Contract made between Notch and Mojang, somehow 4J Studios is involved so they share contracts. The mods, skins etc. isn't a promise, i'm thinking that when they update xbox to the current pc edition, they'll start adding the extra stuff we all want. This is my opinion. This is what I found on my Research.
if they do decide to bring out a versian of tekit, they will probz charge more microsoft points to get it i guess. they haven't even finished getting the xbox version the same as the pc versian with another updatedue shortly to include chanting and baby animals and villigars i have seen
Be careful of alphabet grenades - they may spell disaster
As much as I want Tekkit on the Xbox as well I don't see it coming anytime in the near future.
If thay do every body shood send a lettet.befor the xbox community shood send a letter
come on xbox Nation let's get Tekkit
let me direct you here to the Xbox Minecraft forums.

Pirate's booty: McCutchen the pick for NL MVP
NEW YORK -- There was a time when MVP awards were practically passed around the Pittsburgh clubhouse, from one generation to the next.
Dick Groat and Roberto Clemente in the 1960s. Dave Parker and Willie Stargell in the late '70s. Barry Bonds twice in the early '90s.
And now, Andrew McCutchen appears poised to pick up that torch.
The dynamic center fielder was the centerpiece of a long-awaited turnaround for the Pirates, back in the playoffs for the first time in 21 years. Pittsburgh's charming revival after 20 straight losing records, the longest drought in any of the four major pro sports, has been the feel-good story of this baseball season.
So if McCutchen's statistics weren't quite enough to warrant Most Valuable Player honors in the National League, the warm-and-fuzzy sentiment might have pushed him over the top.
His performance alone was plenty -- especially when defense and baserunning get factored in as much as they should.
Hardly a clear-cut choice, though.
McCutchen has legitimate challengers in Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina and Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw. Maybe even Cardinals leadoff man Matt Carpenter, too.
Together they evoke all the classic questions when it comes to MVP debates.
Goldschmidt is the slugger with prodigious power numbers for a .500 team. Should he beat out worthy candidates headed to the postseason? Is it fair to downgrade him simply because his teammates didn't provide enough help?
"Goldschmidt's probably more deserving than anybody if they were winning," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "But then you have to weigh, is he that much better than anybody else?"
Goldschmidt led the league in RBIs (125), slugging percentage (.551), total bases (332) and OPS (.952). He shared the home run title with 36 and finished tied for third in runs (103). He even stole 15 bases and supplied a steady glove.
"This guy's been a one-man wrecking crew at times for them," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "How many games has he won in the ninth?"
But there's no getting around it: MVP voters from the Baseball Writers' Association of America tend to lean toward playoff participants.
Kershaw dominated on the mound for the NL West champions, compiling the lowest ERA (1.83) for a major league pitcher in 13 years. He started 33-of-162 games, however, so could he possibly do enough to outdistance the best everyday players?
Detroit right-hander Justin Verlander won the AL MVP award two years ago, but no NL pitcher has won since Bob Gibson in 1968.
Molina's contributions to the Cardinals, who had the NL's top record at 97-65, are more difficult to quantify. He had an excellent season at the plate -- a .359 on-base percentage with 12 homers, 44 doubles and 80 RBIs in 136 games -- but it's his presence behind the dish that makes him a serious contender.
Almost universally regarded as the game's best defensive catcher, Molina did a masterful job handling St. Louis' young pitching staff. He shuts down opponents' running games with his rocket arm and textbook technique.
So how do you attach a specific value to all that?
Kershaw led the NL in WAR (Wins Above Replacement) this season, according to baseball-reference.com. McCutchen was tied for second, Goldschmidt was fifth and Carpenter tied for sixth.
Molina was not in the top 10. Still, he has vocal supporters.
"I like Molina, and this is just because I know what he does defensively, how he runs their pitching staff," Roenicke said. "I know what he saves those guys in runs behind the plate. No other position can do as much defensively as he does."
The biggest argument against McCutchen lies in his power numbers: 21 homers and 84 RBIs. But he makes up for that with Gold Glove defense, brilliant baserunning (27 steals, 97 runs) and a .912 OPS in 157 games.
Third in MVP balloting last year, McCutchen didn't lead the league in any of the major offensive categories this season -- but he ranked among the top six or seven in most of them. His all-around play is what makes him the MVP.
"It's going to be one of the tougher calls," Bochy said.
We'll go with warm and fuzzy.

That is VERY interesting! Did your regular Dr. order the tests or did you go to a specialist?
I had a food allergy panel ordered by a doctor. This test screened for IgG and IgE reactions. IgE reactions are the type that constrict your throat and can be dangerous. IgG reactions are less acute and more systemic -- indigestion, sinus congestion, aches and pains. I already knew I had IgE reactions to lobster, crab, and shrimp, but didn't know about IgG
The culprits?
Milk and milk products
Cane sugar and cane juice
No reaction at all to:
Beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and eggs, all fruits(except cranberry) and vegetables.
Well, now I have even more motivation to go primal!
I was bummed out to find that commercial coconut milk is sweetened with cane juice, though. Beet sugar is ok. If I don't go primal, I'll have to learn to bake with buckwheat and beet sugar! Will probably give up on that and stay primal.
That is VERY interesting! Did your regular Dr. order the tests or did you go to a specialist?
I have coconut milk and it doesn't have any sugar in it?
that is very good motivation for going Primal and I am sure your body will thank you for it! xoxo Darlene
Why would there be cane sugar in coconut?
I went to a Naturopathic Doctor, a graduate of Bastyr University. In Washington state, NDs have the same standing as family practice/primary care MDs.
There's cane juice in the coconut milk by So Delicious, which I guess is processed to taste more like regular milk. http://www.turtlemountain.com/products/Coconut_Bev_Plain.html
Apparently there is an unsweetened version that I didn't see at the store. I'll have to look for it.
What brand of coconut milk do you use?
I've noticed a lot of common allergies are to food that's not exactly healthy anyway. I have a friend who's allergic to wheat and soy. Two of the worst foods you can put in your body, and she's forced not to eat them (unfortunately by horrible allergic reactions!). It means avoiding a lot processed food because it tends to often contain wheat and soy. She's also severely allergic to bananas though...
Other common allergies are peanuts and dairy: both things that aren't nutrionally optimal.
I've certainly never heard of anyone being allergic to good healthy foods like meat and fat!
True immune-based allergies are to proteins. I had a friend in high school who was allergic to beef, a friend in college who was allergic to chicken and fish, and there are plenty of us who have shellfish allergies.
Then there are reactions classified as sensitivities and intolerances, which do not involve a reaction by the immune system, so they will not show up on an IgG or IgE screening, but you sure know if you're lactose-intolerant (as does everyone around you).
One of my friends goes to a Naturopath regularly, after Allopathy and strong medications wreaked havoc on her. She's doing much better now and the diet recommended by her Naturopath is low-carb and very Primal-like. She's now cured of all her previous disorders that the allopath medications only suppressed with some bad side-effects, but never cured. And sadly, it's the naturopaths who are called quacks by the mainstream.
adipocyte, dump the So Delicious brand. They claim to be urbo-healthy but always end up adding stuff that doesn't need to be in any of the foods they sell.

Tribune Chronicle
WARREN - Ohio Gov. John Kasich's proposed $2.4 billion state construction budget includes $12.4 million for upgrades and repairs at Youngstown State University and other money for business and energy incubators in Trumbull and Mahoning counties, including funds to launch a facility in Warren.
The plan contains $250,000 for the Tech Belt Energy Innovation Center for basic equipment needed to acquire the ''infrastructure necessary to attract companies to the center,'' said Dave Nestic, TBEIC chief executive, regional operations.
''This is getting us started on getting that lab together,'' said Nestic.
The equipment needed for the downtown Warren location includes items for electrical, fuel cell and battery testing, ''those types of technologies,'' Nestic said.
The spending plan introduced Tuesday is a broad proposal to fund a host of community, school, park and prison projects in Ohio. Action on the bill, sent to the Finance Committee in the Ohio House, is expected quickly.
Like any bill, it is subject to change up to the point that Kasich signs it into law
Also included is $1.5 million for the Youngstown Business Incubator to begin renovation on a fifth building at the technology campus in downtown Youngstown.
The building will give YBI 45,000 more square feet that will allow for further growth and expansion of YBI's business to business software while ''incorporating our organization's move into the additional areas of additive and advanced manufacturing technologies,'' wrote YBI Chief Executive Officer Jim Cossler in an email.
At YSU, the funding would be used to ''help maintain and enhance the infrastructure of the campus, allowing us to extend the useful life of many of our buildings,'' wrote Ron Cole, YSU public information officer in an email.
The funding for the university includes $2.5 million for elevator safety repairs and another $2.5 million for utility upgrades and expansion. There's $1.5 million for building system upgrades across the campus and $1.5 million more for roof repairs and replacements. Another $1 million will be used for classroom upgrades.
Other funding for projects in Trumbull County are $950,000 for heating, ventilation and air conditioning repair and replacement at the Trumbull branch of Kent State University and $250,000 to equip the Tech Belt Oil and Gas Learning Center in Lordstown.
Broadly, the bill directs:
The administration estimates projects funded under the bill would create 31,000 jobs over several years.

Since inception, Facebook has been launching new advertising so often that it may be rather difficult to keep up with the pace. But one thing is clear - the lucrative click-based advertising model will be bolstered by a data network that dives deeper into user data than it has done before. For marketers, Facebook will be a Pandora's box for eerily accurate targeting and performance-based metrics both online and offline.
Facebook began with simple banner ads and gradually revolutionized the social advertising business, with inspiration from Google's AdWords network, by targeting a blanket demographic of Facebook users. If you're a lover of music between the ages of 18 and 24 who graduated at least from high school, Pepsi may have targeted you based on these criteria.
The click-through-rates (CTR) on what were essentially banner ads featured on the side a Facebook user's profile haven't been arguably strong, especially when compared to Google. But it does beat out on the average CTR for Internet display ads. Wordstream's study indicates that the desktop version of Facebook's ads stand at just 0.051 percent. The typical CTR for display ads in the U.S. is approximately 0.01 percent, or just one click per 1000 impressions. Google's CTR on the other hand is nearly 0.4 percent.
Advertising has been just one facet of Facebook's strategy but makes up the majority of its revenue stream. In the first quarter of 2012, advertising accounted for up to 82 percent of Facebook's entire revenue. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that behind the scenes Facebook is regularly rolling out tools that will increase the engagement rate and offer marketers in-depth tools to learn more about prospective customers.
Some of the new advertising products launched this year alone are enough to spin a marketer's head. Log-out ads, which began selling in February, displayed ads when a user logged out of Facebook. Premium Ads replaced Classic Premium Ads as an offering for increased engagement in June. Sponsored Stories began selling on its mobile platform for all advertisers including small businesses just days later. In July, Facebook ads were integrated into Zynga's website, raising suspicions about a Google-like ad network being implemented in July but so far other sites have yet to receive the same treatment. Then in August, Facebook began offering sponsored ads that would appear next to search terms in Facebook's search bar.
In light of these new features that sit on the front end of Facebook's ad products, Facebook is integrating a commanding backend powered by a data driven ad network. It can more accurately determine exactly which Facebook users to target and even notify advertisers about how well its ads are converting users to make purchases in the real world.
Among the most publicized ad product integrated to suit the needs of marketers, is Custom Audiences, which enables marketers to target ads based on email addresses, UIUDs and even phone numbers. Simply by uploading a CSV or TXT file, Facebook would be able to crawl its database of users and target these specific individuals. Now you can see why other online marketing efforts like email marketing and SMS marketing are imperative for targeting and engaging an existing customer base through Facebook.
Then there's Facebook Exchange, which targets Facebook users based on their previous browsing habits. A third-party marketing provider issues (in conjunction with Facebook) a unique ID number. When a user has browsed a website with a certain product, like sodas for example, and that user returns to Facebook, Facebook then notifies the marketing service provider who then displays an ad for sodas for that invidual.
The most recent advertising product launched by the company has been a real-world performance measurement service in conjunction with its partnership with Datalogix. Facebook is now able to effectively measure and track, using information like email addresses or other information taken from a retailer's loyalty programs, groups of users that are or aren't making offline purchases at retail locations. It will also result in displaying ads at a "sweet spot" of effective frequency - between too often to the point of annoyance for users and not enough for advertisers.
Finally, Facebook Gifts, which is an e-commerce gifting service that sells physical goods provided by partnered retailers, launched just days ago. Facebook Gifts itself will be a crucial data collection tool for Facebook that should double as a product sentiment tool to provide marketers information on the types of gifts or products users are most prone to purchasing.
With over 900 million users and counting, crucial information like where people like to spend their time is transparent to the extent that Facebook can determine where they're making purchases and with what advertisers. If you look at it, the data collected in the aforementioned Facebook ad programs is itself a profitable revenue stream for Facebook. So what does this mean for advertisers?
The trend shows that all of an advertiser's online and offline marketing efforts will be just as crucial as their Facebook marketing strategy. All that data will one day coexist on Facebook to fuel the targeting of ads to users in a way that's unparalleled to any other ad network – even Google.

Disruption of the Silenced Self: The Case of Premenstrual Syndrome
Disruption of the Silenced Self: The Case of Premenstrual Syndrome
This chapter challenges the common pathologizing view of premenstrual change that characterizes premenstrual symptoms as representing a psychological or biomedical disorder. The authors present a contrasting view and argue that premenstrual symptoms are more accurately characterized as a disruption in the self-silencing that women engage in for 3 weeks of the month. Drawing upon their interviews with women, they describe the contextual and intrapsychic factors that combine to produce the premenstrual expression of anger, irritation, or sadness. The chapter argues that dismissing premenstrual distress as illness serves to silence women and contributes to a cycle of further emotional suppression, followed by premenstrual emotional eruption.
Keywords: premenstrual syndrome, pathologization, depression, anger, suppression, self-silencing, silencing the self scale

HONOLULU (AP) - The former Chaminade University assistant men's basketball coach who resigned after sending a text message to a player containing a racial slur has apologized.
Mike Mathey said in a statement released by the university Saturday that he's sorry "from the bottom of my heart." He says the text message was not meant to be degrading.
Last week, Chaminade accepted Mathey's resignation after placing him on administrative leave when the text message was reported to school officials.
The school told The Associated Press that the slur was the N-word.
Mathey's statement says he is not racist and has friends of different races. He says he made a "big mistake."

I was looking at some B-1B pictures on the Internet and wondered if B-1Bs, B-52s, KC-135s, KC-10s, or the like have ever deployed to South America or Africa, or made an emergency landing there.
My only bit of knowledge is that in 1994 KC-10s or KC-135s were deployed to Harare (Zimbabwe) to help position fuel over central Africa during Operation Support Hope. AMC traffic was supposedly so heavy into Goma that holding patterns were established and the tankers were positioned to help with low-fuel situations, I guess for both inbounds and outbounds.
Did any US planes deploy to provide support for the Falklands campaign? I'm guessing that would have been done entirely on Ascension Island if at all.
On a related note I know that in the late 1970s Soviet Tu-95s had landing rights at Conakry, Guinea in order to reach Cuba until US diplomatic pressure cut them off.. there's plenty on the CIA FOIA site in documents like this one about it.

How to Pack a picnic
Whether you're headed to the beach or to your own backyard for Independence Day, packing a picnic basket that is nutritious, delicious and safe takes top priority. This enables your family and friends to enjoy themselves without worrying about packing on the pounds or coming down with a case of food poisoning.
Think beyond potato salad and hot dogs to some equally tasty, yet healthier options. Traditional picnic foods can still be included, but you may want to tweak the recipes to lower the calories and saturated fat. Here are a few ideas:
- Use a combination of light mayonnaise and light sour cream or plain yogurt in cream-based salads, such as macaroni and potato.
- Substitute a light Italian dressing for regular in your pasta salad.
- Squeeze the juice of an orange lemon or drizzle balsamic vinegar over a green salad instead of adding dressing.
- Mix a packet of ranch dressing or seasoning with light or fat-free Greek yogurt as a veggie dip.
- Make wraps with whole-grain tortillas instead of sandwiches.
- Grill burgers made from ultra-lean ground beef, venison, bison or ground turkey, and place on a whole-grain bun.
- Dip fresh fruit into a mixture of light whipped cream and light strawberry yogurt.
-- Debbie DeAngelo
For more of Debbie's story, go to www.HerTimes.com.
- Slice angel food cake and top with mixed berries and light whipped cream.
The phrase "safety first" applies to food too. From packing food to transporting it, there are a few things you should know. Start with these safety tips:
- Clean the cooler.
- Pack raw meat in a separate cooler.
- Place the ice on the bottom and along the sides of the cooler. A rule of thumb is that the cooler should be 25 percent ice and 75 percent food. Pack the cooler snugly with chilled foods and ice packs. It will stay cooler longer. The most perishable food should be on the bottom since it's the coldest.
- Keep the cooler lid closed as much as possible to maintain the temperature. This may mean storing beverages separately from food.
- Avoid placing cooked foods back on the same plate as raw foods.
- Don't let food sit out for more than one to two hours. When setting out foods that should be refrigerated, place the container in a bowl filled with ice.
- Plan portions carefully to minimize excess. Leftovers should be discarded. Once food has been sitting out, don't place it back in the cooler to chill again.
- Bring hand sanitizer.
- Don't use the ice cubes floating in the cooler as ice cubes in your drink. Pack a separate bag of ice for beverages along with a scoop, which should not be stored inside the bag of ice.
- Cover food that is sitting out with lids or food tents.
- Don't be a litterbug. Properly dispose of garbage.

NJ hosts Super Bowl, but feels slighted by the NY buzz
NEW YORK — Since New York City is the media hub of America, it makes sense that all the Super Bowl attention would be focused on the Big Apple.
But across the river from New York, there's a place that feels like a doormat.
"Everybody is just New York, New York, New York," said Moses Harrison, a worker at the Aspen Marketplace in Hoboken, NJ.
At Stan's Sports in downtown Hoboken, New Jersey native Danny DeConglio feels slighted. And he's not alone.
"People are kinda aggravated with it," he said. "People have been saying 'what's goin' on? Why is this all about New York?'"
It's irritating because already their own hometown teams play in New Jersey, but wear jerseys that say New York. People around here had hoped this one time, with the biggest game of the year in their own backyard, they'd get a little more attention and respect.
"It's like we took a back seat to the whole thing," DeCongelio said.
It's not like this whole cross-river rivalry is anything new. Folks here have been dealing with it for years and they say at the end of this week it won't really matter if the Super Bowl and New Jersey are mentioned in the same sentence of not.
They'll still make out like winners. No matter what, they'll make money off the tens of thousands of football fans forced to go to New Jersey for the game.
Maybe then, locals hope, visitors will realize New Jersey isn't such a bad place after all.

John Gibson, who grew up on a farm in Risingsun, graduated from Lakota High School and has worked in construction for years, recently wrote, directed and produced a movie, "Curtis and Dave Are Dead."
Having minimal training in moviemaking, he went to work on it in 2009.
Assisting him was his sister, Cathy Brickner of Tiffin, who has a bachelor's degree in communication and experience in finances and marketing. Gibson finished the movie in October 2013.
Article Photos
Filmmakers Cathy Brickner and John Gibson are pictured with posters for the film they produced, "Curtis and Dave are Dead."
"We filmed it entirely in Seneca County, and there are specific mentions of Heidelberg College, Tiffin University, Burger King, Wolf Creek and more. There are also some very beautiful exterior shots," Brickner said.
"I didn't go into it expecting to get wealthy or famous. The idea was to do it just to say I've done it. I can demonstrate that you can make a quality movie anywhere in the world as long as you have a good story," Gibson said.
Actually, Gibson did study radio, television and film as a young college student at Bowling Green State University, but digital technology did not exist at the time. Film recording and high-quality video equipment was expensive, especially for a struggling student. Gibson switched to the construction business, which took him to Florida in the 1990s.
Fact Box
More about the movie
"Curtis and Dave Are Dead" has been submitted to the Athens (Ohio) International Film and Video Festival, set for April 11-17.
Director John Gibson said he also will try to enter "Curtis and Dave Are Dead" in film festivals in Cleveland and Columbus.
Produced by Seneca Pictures, the movie is available for digital download to rent or buy on video. The DVD is available at www. amazon.com and through the film's website, www.curtisanddavearedead.com.
In 2000, Gibson moved to New Mexico to work for a mining company. The treacherous work often had to be done in brutal weather conditions, which motivated Gibson to return to college for a degree in English with intentions of possibly becoming a teacher. In looking for a school, he found a branch campus of New Mexico State near the White Sands missile base. He enrolled in 2006 and later transferred to the main campus in Las Cruces, N.M.
Gibson's attraction to film resurfaced in 2009. He said he enjoyed watching the Shaytards on Youtube. After viewing the movie "Paranormal Activity," he thought he could combine the best elements of both "like a Reese's peanut butter cup" to create a movie with compelling characters and plenty of action, comedy and mystery.
Gibson started writing his story about three young friends, Curtis T. Cobb, Dave Bailey and Beja Lux, who start a Youtube channel. With the depressed economy at the time, Gibson decided his young adult characters would be unemployed and using their free time to record events in their lives. Maybe they could make money from advertising and T-shirt sales.
"So that was the premise. From there, I just started thinking about the characters and plotting it. Eventually, I got around to writing it," Gibson said. "This would be kind of like 'Napoleon Dynamite' meets 'Paranormal Activity' in reality TV- style."
Soon after the characters begin their project, strange happenings occur. Objects are not in their right places, the friends hear strange noises and something evil whispers "I see you" in Curtis' ear as he sleeps. By the end of the story, Curtis and Dave are dead. Beja survives to narrate the tale and edit the movie.
With the advances in technology, Gibson estimated he could make a movie with a $2,000 investment for equipment. He decided to shoot the film in a quality that would be good enough for the big screen if a company, such as Sony or Universal, wanted to distribute it. Otherwise, it could be distributed online.
By the time the script was complete, Gibson had moved to Fort Wayne, Ind. He planned to shoot the film there, but he couldn't find a setting with the look he wanted.
After talking to Brickner and another sister, he decided to search for a filming location in Seneca County. On a visit to the area, he found "the perfect house" near Bascom. Gibson said the house is shown in an ad running on Bascom Communications.
"It's got that Gothic look like the movie 'Psycho,' that scary house. It sits way back off a lane, which was absolutely perfect," Gibson said.
"And Wolf Creek runs behind it," Brickner added.
Gibson moved back to the area to get started. To cast the film, he contacted the theater departments at Tiffin University, Heidelberg, Bowling Green, Findlay and other area universities Although "they were all really polite," his efforts did not generate much interest, he said.
Looking back, Gibson said he wished he had set up an online site where prospective actors could get more details about the movie.
"I never heard anything. ... so I ended up putting an ad on Craig's List," Gibson said. "I actually did all the auditioning on Youtube."
He told the applicants to talk into the camera so he could hear their voices and see how they looked on camera. They didn't need a script.
Tim Fowler was one of the first to respond. Gibson said he arranged to meet Fowler in Findlay the next day. Fowler was cast as Curtis, the main character.
Fowler also offered to send Gibson's casting call to his friends. Soon, more than 40 people, mostly from Columbus, contacted Gibson, including Sara Michal, who portrays Beja and Steve Barrett who plays Dave.
Once the main characters were cast, Brickner and Gibson met with them and reviewed the script. A scene called "The Ashley Judd Incident" takes place in a bar with several other actors from Tiffin, Old Fort, Risingsun and Fostoria. Heidelberg graduates Megan and Danielle Reinhart, who live down the road from the main filming location, served as production assistants and extras.
Brickner said her mother-in-law lives across the street and knows the woman who owns the house where most of the filming took place. Gibson said the owner was cooperative and allowed them to shoot footage at all hours of the day and night. The script includes a lot of screaming, but the terror is portrayed by suggestion - in what the audience does not see. Gibson said there is little on-screen violence.
"There's no blood, no guts," Brickner said.
At the opening, Beja tells the viewers she put the movie together to remember her friends, Curtis and Dave. Then the action flashes back to the trio's efforts to support themselves through Youtube. An evil entity makes itself heard and felt as the filming continues. Initially, it affects only Curtis, but eventually, Beja and Dave also are haunted as it whistles children's songs and toys with them in other ways.
Gibson names the spirit Pikaboo, suggesting it has existed since the earliest times.
Most of the movie is focused on developing the quirky characters, the producers said. The characters wear T-shirts that refer to "Cobb-
ville" because "Kingofcobb-
ville.com" is the name of their Youtube site. Although the characters and events are fictional, they are set in real locations to give the audience a sense the events really happened.
Brickner described her favorite scene of the three friends squeezed into a bed together.
"There's a scene where the Dave character gets scared and he ends up in bed with the other two characters. ... He's like a little kid who crawls in between them. And the bed we used was a double bed," she said. "The actors played it off perfectly."
Brickner's hobby is miniatures, so Beja also has that hobby in the film. Some of Gibson's original artwork was incorporated into the sets and he composed the music for the soundtrack.
"Every scene is layer on layer. It's very complicated," Brickner said. "Everything in the film is intertwined and somehow related to another thing. ... There's hidden meanings throughout the whole thing."
Gibson said the actors were nervous during the first rehearsal, but that soon dissolved. They worked well together and made their characters believable. After two rehearsals at Tiffin-Seneca Public Library, Gibson directed them to stay in character and go into downtown Tiffin with cell phones to record their own footage.
The filming was finished in 2012 and editing took more than a year. The working title of the film was "Found Footage." Brickner said the script did not contain the ending of the story, so the actors were unaware of the conclusion until they saw the finished DVD.
Although Gibson continues to promote the film, he managed to finish his bachelor's degree and start working on a master's degree. He said the film has done well enough to cover his expenses, and the positive feedback he has received is encouraging. He even is contemplating a sequel.
"It's better than I expected this early in the game. It's been a lot of fun. It was a lot of hard work ... but it really opened my eyes as to what is possible," Gibson said.

Tioga Pass, which provides a variety of recreational opportunities and access to Yosemite National Park from the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, is tentatively scheduled to open Saturday, according to an update by the National Park Service.
Clearing snow from the road usually starts about April 15 each year and takes between one and two months depending on the remaining snowpack, according to the park service..The road opened May 7 last year following a low-snow winter. It opened on June 18 in 2011, when snowpack was nearly twice normal averages.
The pass is about 2.5 hours south of the Lake Tahoe Basin off of U.S. Highway 395.

Lovely quilt pictured above! I will have to Check out the book. I love medalian quilts!
I also like the first medalian quilt. So simple and yet it is a very pleasing to the eye. I always like the simpler the better. As I have been quilting for only 2 years. Lots of patterns are too complicated for me.
I love the concept of medallion quilt, especially being in the middle of the Craftsy course on quilting big quilts on a small sewing machine. I truly love the first pictured quilt in spring green and pink! To me it says "be happy." Learning to quilt sure is a fun, time consuming activity. Being newly (1 month) retired, I haven't lacked for fun things to do and I love getting new ideas and especially new techniques! I will have to get the book in a few months when I get caught up on my budget! (Retirement doesn't pay as well as working!)
So many patterns to pick from. Love the idea of making a table topper from the same pattern as the quilt. Would be great idea for the guest room quilt and table topper for the side table. The book will have to be one of future purchases when I get to town. Enjoy seeing your projects and Blocks for the Craftsy Block of the Month. Look forward to seeing more.

Conneaut Lake man charged in marijuana probe
CONNEAUT LAKE -- A borough man is in jail on drug charges after police said they seized more than 100 marijuana plants and other items during a search Tuesday of a residence suspected of housing an indoor marijuana growing operation.
The Conneaut Lake Regional Police Department, with the state Attorney General's Northwest Drug Task Force, served a search warrant in the 11000 block of East Third Street. Seized were more than 100 marijuana plants, growing materials, items used to package marijuana and more than $800 in cash, Conneaut Lake Police Chief Todd Pfeifer said.
Edgar L. Guiher II, 32, was later arraigned on charges of possession with intent to deliver, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, receiving stolen property and unlawful body armor. He remained in the Crawford County Correctional Facility Wednesday on $50,000 bond.
Charges against another person are pending further investigation, Pfeifer said.

Politics and the Paralympic Games: Disability Sport in Rhodesia-Zimbabwe
Andrew Novak
American University - Washington College of Law
November 1, 2006
Journal of Olympic History, Vol. 16, No. 1, March 2008
White settler-ruled Rhodesia had one of the most successful Paralympic teams in the history of the Games, despite intense racial and disability discrimination at home and despite Rhodesia's exclusion from international sport in the 1960s and 1970s (including expulsion from the Olympic Games). This article explains why the Paralympic team continued to compete in international competition, and particularly why the British government allowed them to compete even as the British were maneuvering Rhodesian exclusion from the Mexico City and Munich Olympics.

|Tyra Perry Head Softball Coach
Courtesy: Ball State Athletics
Release: 08/06/2013
Tyra Perry, the 2014 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year, enters her second season as the head coach of the Ball State softball program. In her first year at the helm, Perry led the Cardinals to their fifth MAC regular season title in the past six years, as Ball State boasted a 12-4 record in league play.
Ball State posted a 33-19 overall record on the year, including a 3-0 victory at then-No. 3 Arizona State (March 2), marking the highest-ranked opponent the Cardinals have defeated since a 2-1 victory at then-No. 3 Missouri (March 19, 2010).
Perry mentored four players to 2014 National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Great Lakes Region honors, with Ball State being the only MAC school with a first-team all-region honoree. In addition, Ball State's four overall selections were one fewer than the league's other 11 teams which combined to garnered five.
Perry helped senior Jennifer Gilbert become the first two-time All-American in program history when she was named to the NFCA All-America Second Team. Gilbert is just the fourth two-time All-America selection in MAC history, and one of only nine MAC players to ever be named to either the first or second team.
Gilbert also become the first-ever three-time MAC Player of the Year, and just the 11th player in NCAA Division I history to earn their respective conference player of the year award three times.
Perry also helped Ball State's student-athletes garner a program-record five First Team All-MAC selections, topping the previous school record of four set in 2009. It marks just the third time in league history five players from the same squad have earned first-team honors, joining Kent State (2007) and Central Michigan (1996). The Cardinals also had one player selected to the All-MAC Second Team.
Named the eighth head coach in Ball State history on August 6, 2013, Perry owns a 375-363-1 career coaching record, including her one year at Ball State and six-year coaching stints at both Western Kentucky (2008-13) and Birmingham-Southern (2002-07).
In her six-year tenure at WKU, Perry guided the Lady Toppers to a 196-146-1 (.573) overall record, including the program's first-ever NCAA Regional appearance in 2013. WKU advanced to the championship game of the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional in her final season and finished the year ranked No. 26 in the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), the highest final ranking in program history.
Perry also guided the Lady Toppers to several other firsts during the 2013 campaign. The program posted its first 40-plus win season (43-18) and earned its first Sun Belt Conference regular season title with a 20-3 league record. WKU played its way into the SBC Tournament championship game for the first time under Perry, falling just short of the title with a 2-0 loss to then-No. 19 South Alabama.
The two-time SBC Coach of the Year (2013 and 2009), Perry helped junior pitcher Emily Rousseau earn the program's first SBC Pitcher of the Year honor in 2013. In her six seasons with the Lady Toppers, Perry helped her players garner 14 All-SBC honors, 13 SBC Player of the Week honors, 10 SBC Pitcher of the Week honors and eight SBC All-Tournament Team selections.
In the classroom, Perry's Western Kentucky student-athletes earned five CoSIDA Academic All-District selections, 22 recognitions on the Sun Belt Commissioner's List and 34 Sun Belt Academic Honor Roll awards.
Perry guided Birmingham-Southern to 146 victories in six seasons as head coach, despite the Panthers being a provisional NCAA Division I member during her first two years with the program (2002-03). In 2006, she led Birmingham-Southern to its first winning season in program history and finished with a 28-21 record.
Her Panthers squads posted at least 25 wins in each of her final five seasons with the program. In addition, 15 Birmingham-Southern student-athletes received postseason honors from the Big South Conference during Perry's tenure, and five players earned recognition after both the 2005 and 2006 campaigns.
In 2006, Perry added the title of Assistant Athletic Director/Senior Woman Administrator to her duties and served as BSC's compliance director. Perry was also the head coach for the Southeastern All-Star team which played the United States Olympic squad prior to the 2004 games in Athens.
A 1997 and 1998 graduate of Louisiana State University, Perry earned her degree in kinesiology in 1997 and added a master's degree in sports administration in 1998. She was a two-year letterwinner in softball for the Tigers (1997-98), and helped the program post a combined 102-28 (.758) record over her career, including a 58-14 (.806) mark in Southeastern Conference play.
She also helped the Tigers pick up a pair of SEC West Division titles and make the program's first-ever NCAA Regional Tournament appearance where it finished second.
In her first season at LSU, Perry led the Tigers with a .345 batting average, 11 home runs, 40 runs scored, a .416 on-base percentage and a .612 slugging percentage. Those numbers helped her earn recognition on the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-South Region Second Team, as well as first-team All-Louisiana honors and a slot on the SEC's all-tournament team. Perry led the team with five homers in 1998, while posting a .324 average with 29 runs scored and 38 RBI. Off the field, she was twice named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
Perry was inducted into the Zachary High School Hall of Fame in her hometown of Zachary, La., in 2007.

The Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) brings together over 2000 undergraduate students from across the nation, who meet to share the fruits of their research and learn about educational and job opportunities in the biomedical sciences. This year's conference was held Nov. 13-16 in Nashville, Tennessee, and was attended by five students from The University of Iowa's "Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in Microbiology," which receives funding from the National Science Foundation. The students were accompanied by faculty member David Weiss, who serves as co-director of the REU. All five participants presented posters on research they had conducted under the direction of faculty in the Department of Microbiology. Lauren Gentles won an award for her poster. Lauren is a senior at the University of Arkansas and did her research in Dr. Chioma Okeoma's laboratory. Her poster was titled, "TLR4-mediated immune-virologic parameters during CHIKV infection in vivo." Gabriela Kaus, a senior at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, won a travel award. Gabriela did her research in Dr. Linda McCarter's laboratory. Her poster was titled, "Expanding the Scr c-di-GMP responsive regulatory circuit controlling swarming and sticking."
Regarding this year's REU, Dr. Weiss stated, "It was incredibly gratifying to watch these talented young men and women mature into scientists over the course of the summer. They are, quite literally, the future of our discipline."
Pictured here (left to right) are: Krizia Pérez (University of Puerto Rico-Humacao), who worked with Dr. Alex Horswill; Gabriela Kaus (Whitman College), who worked with Dr. Linda McCarter; Lauren Gentles (University of Arkansas), who worked with Dr. Chioma Okeoma; Chris Bolden (University of Southern Mississippi), who worked with Dr. Patrick Schlievert; Levi Blue (Clemson University), who worked with Dr. Craig Ellermeier; and Dr. David Weiss (University of Iowa).

Fracking Chemicals: What We Know — and What We Don't
You have to give the U.S. EPA some credit. The agency has done quite a bit to let the public know about some of the toxic chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing. EPA on March 27, 2015, published a database of nearly 700 of those chemicals, which is a good start and shows how open-source and non-governmental efforts can overcome industry efforts to hide data on toxics.
