Did you know you could get fined $500.00 for climbing a lamppost in Montreal? That's what happened to a man by the name of Adam Guzzo.
He was fined after he climbed a lamppost to waive the German flag after Germany won the World Cup. Guzzo told CTV News Montreal that the fine is extreme and he plans to contest it.
We talked about it this afternoon, listeners and texters weighing in. Most thought, and I agree, the fine was excessive. And many listeners were very angry, pointing out that a woman who left her infant son in a car in a shopping centre parking lot was fined only $60.00.
What do you think? Was the fine excessive?

Social Work (BSW)
Mission Statement
The Social Work program exists to prepare students for entry level generalist social work practice by equipping them with professional knowledge, values, and skills within the context of a biblical worldview.
Analysis of Evidences
The Social Work program has been continuing to grow, yet we struggle to retain students in their last two years of study here at LBC. This is largely due to our program not being accredited by CSWE. Students report that they can transfer to an accredited institution and complete both the BSW and MSW in 5 years whereas it would take them 6 years if they remaineed at LBC (4 years at LBC and 2 years at another school). As a result, a proposal (see attached) was presented and approved for the addition of a full time social work faculty member and the pursuit of accreditation. With this in place, the social work program will continue to strengthen and grow, laying the groundwork for graduate studies here at LBC.

How to Figure Out What Someone Means
Reader Comments (23)
Panels 2 & 3 - brilliant!
Unfortunately i saw that punchline (or a similar one) coming in panel 2 after he mentioned breaking glass. But you made up for that predictability in panel 4.
"performing Mundane duties until they run aground or rust away to nothing." I love that analogy.
Is this the first time that someone other then Scott was following the advice of the panels?
So bossman is a hillbilly, is that what you are saying? Or is his mother-in-law a hillbilly? so confused. I love this strip. why aren't you syndicated?
@isiah No, there have definitely been others. Just off the top of my head, there was something along the lines of "Dealing with an Insane Spouse", which was about Missy dealing with Scott having a dream that she was mean to him.
isiah, I'm pretty sure it's not. I think the boss's been the one to follow the narrative a few times now.
Troubles at home, Scott?
The roles seem reversed. In panels 2-4 Mullet Boss reads like Scott and Scott reads like Mullet Boss.
can't wait to get married!
it really is great how you actually put in good advice in every comic, but still manage to keep it hilarious.
This seems to be the first time, in panel 3, at least, where the boss actually makes some sense.
Quadruple Score!
Every panel of this one had a funny punch line!
The roles have been reversed before. Take a look at "How to Explain Something to Someone Who Doesn't Get it".
a true LOL on this one, or at least a CQTM (chuckle quietly to myself).
I liked the first pane. I'm in a lot of conversations like that.
Another great cartoon, especially panel 2 with the broken glass references.
I love your comic. It's original in a way that most comics try to be. I just hate that you get burned on so much in your comments. Keep up the good work and don't let the internet lackeys get to you.
Good stuff. However this is the first one that I am truly hesitant to forward to my wife. Others I have forwarded knowing she would read it and look at me knowingly, on this one I will face the inquisition board.
Slow start, big finish! Thanks
I often run into the situation in the first panel, and I never have a response to the question "why not just say that?"
But now I do!
Is this the closest bossman has come to winning an argument?
Well, technically it wasn't an argument, but it did involve yelling.
I know I shouldn't, but every time I see the guy with the mullet, I think it's Ray Thomas from the Moody Blues.
...Doesn't the boss keep kosher?

Every once in a while this comes up and someone asks about the bullpups. i have been on the verge of buying one for about 3 years now. Every time I post on this board or TFL everyone who doesn't have one puts the M17 down, and half the actual owners say that it wasn't anything special.
After picking one up at the store about a dozen times and trying one out at the range it looks odd and cool and is really nothing special to write home about.
Heres my opinion of the M17. The trigger by way of the design is not that great. But probably not as bad as some would make it out to be. The fact that it fits a 21" barrel into a small package is a great advantage for the .223. Of late they have gotten kind of expensive. It uses the same mags as the AR so that is a great plus. If you want a range tack driver then you would do better with an AR. However the M17 seems to fit into a great backpack/plinker, shtf, coolgunvirus, kind of niche.
Come to think of it you just brought my interest back into one.

Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) Foundation President Michael J. Olekasak announced this week the establishment of a scholarship in honor of Springfield Police Officer Kevin E. Ambrose ('77) for his service and sacrifice in the line of duty to provide safety to the Springfield community. An allocation from the STCC Foundation's assets was designated to create the endowed scholarship award.
"The STCC family has lost one of our own, Kevin E. Ambrose, STCC alumnus class of 1977. To honor our fallen hero, the STCC Foundation has established the Kevin E. Ambrose Law Enforcement Award to provide scholarship support to a deserving student who demonstrates the qualities that made Officer Ambrose a beloved and courageous public servant to the City of Springfield," said STCC President Dr. Ira H. Rubenzahl.
The award is available to any student entering or enrolled in the law enforcement/criminal justice program at STCC. Students must be enrolled in good academic standing to apply and an essay will be required. Preference will be given to the son, daughter, or grandchild of a police officer. The award will be given to the student who most embodies the spirit of the police officer creed to serve mankind; to safeguard lives and property; to protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence and disorder; and to respect the Constitutional rights of all persons to liberty, equality, and justice.
"The award is an opportunity to further the legacy of Officer Ambrose, a community member, who exemplified the characteristic of leadership, commitment, dedication, care and compassion for others and the community that are essential to the success of a police officer," said STCC Alumni Association Chair John Kelley ('78).
The award fund is an open-ended, restricted endowed fund. Additional donors are welcome to contribute to the fund at any time. Contributions to the fund can be mailed to: the STCC Foundation, c/o Ambrose Fund, Armory Square, Suite 1, Springfield, MA 01102-9000. For information about how to contribute, please contact STCC Foundation and Alumni Services Interim Director Robert LePage at firstname.lastname@example.com, (413) 755-4477, or visit www.STCC.edu/foundation.

What should we do about RBS?
Photo credit: ell brown
June 20, 2013 // By: Tony Greenham
Last night the Chancellor delivered his Mansion House Speech. Among the usual bonhomie, tributes to the departing Mervyn (now Lord) King and mutual backslapping about what a wonderful thing the City is, was some very important news about the future of Lloyds and RBS – the two banks taxpayers had to rescue with £67 billon of public money during the financial crisis.
Let's recall the background to this speech.
The Chancellor has been itching to return these shares to the stock market. Earlier this month, Policy Exchange (supposedly the Chancellor's favourite think-tank) published a proposal for a pre-election showpiece privatisation of both Lloyds and RBS - a bad idea on many levels. In March 2012 he even toyed with selling a large stake at a massive loss to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, so desperate was he to pursue privatisation at all costs.
However, yesterday the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards gave its final report in which it recommended getting on with selling Lloyds shares to institutional investors (as we recommended earlier this week), but to hold fire on privatising RBS until all the options for the banks future are considered in terms of what would best suit the UK economy.
The Chancellor appeared to follow their advice:
"Our objectives for our shareholdings in Lloyds and RBS are exactly the same. We want to maximise the ability of these important banks to support the British economy. We want to get the best value for money for the taxpayer. And we want to do what we can to return them to private ownership."
He announced that Lloyds shares could start to be sold soon, but RBS was some way off. Most commentators have interpreted this as meaning that any sale is unlikely before the 2015 general election.
This is good news, because the future of RBS remains open for a future government to determine. The bank will be encouraged to pursue its strategy of refocusing on its UK retail business, selling its US bank and shrinking the global investment bank (I suspect this is the real reason for Hester's departure, as he was committed to keeping both). This is sensible.
But here is the bad news.
First, the Treasury is in effect only interested in whether to carry out a 'good bank, bad bank' split – taking the assets and loans with the greatest uncertainty of repayment off the bank before selling it. The idea is that the increase in price that investors will be willing to pay for a less risky bank will more than offset the losses on the dodgy loans kept by the Government.
Secondly, the Treasury will lead the enquiry and choose the external experts it wants.
This review will not therefore be able to examine what's in the best interests of the UK economy as a whole. There will be no opportunity for independent experts to examine alternative proposals in public hearings.
There seems to be a presumption, not up for debate, that privatising RBS as a national bank is the best option. This is based on ideology rather than practical economics, or indeed on evidence, of which there is plenty to support the merits of greater banking diversity and of local stakeholder banks in particular.
We need to liberate ourselves from the ghosts of 1970s failed nationalised industries and understand that publicly owned is not the same as state run. The German public savings banks are managed by bankers, not politicians, but they are run to serve the interests of the local economy and of citizens, rather than those of remote shareholders. Their managers are held much more accountable for incompetent lending than has proved the case with the private sector managers that drove their businesses to bankruptcy whilst exploiting their customers with mis-sold products.
Surely now it is time for Vince Cable to demand a say as the champion of British business and of regional growth. And what he should say is that the option of turning RBS into a network of regional banks must be properly considered, and we must not be dogmatic about ownership. After all, the best value for the British taxpayer might be the long-term ownership of a successful bank that supports the British economy.
What should we do about RBS?

Help to identify tables and Features
Please i need to develop or actually to propose a Database plan for a housing project, and i need some input from experienced as well as well wishers the tables an d fields to use. Find below a short sumary of the project:
1. We are consultants for a company who intend to build like 2000 housing units in like 30 geographical locations for sale to the public as well as for its staffs.
2. The houses are in form of 2/3 bedroom detached and semidetached bungalows.
3. As consultants, we require estate developers to register with us to bid for the houses they wish to construct. They will bid by submitting their prefered location of intrest as well as category. i.e. 25- 50 units, 50 - 100, 100 -500, 500 and above.
As of now, i know i would need a COMPANY TABLE FOR THE BIDDERS, HOUSE TYPES TABLES AS WELL AS CATEGORY TABLE.
Please any help will be appreciated.
Stay blessed.
Re: Help to identify tables and Features
is your company going thru hard time?
Re: Help to identify tables and Features
No, BUT I AM GOIN THRU HARD TIME, ANY SUGGESTIONS.
Re: Help to identify tables and Features
no sorry
Re: Help to identify tables and Features
What have you come up with so far? I'm happy to suggest ways you can improve what you've got.
If your company's not going through a hard time then why not hire a database professional who can do the job properly?
(It's strange that it reads like a homework assignment. Also strange that it's such a simple set of requirements for something needed in a professional environment. Are you sure this isn't homework/project work?)
Re: Help to identify tables and Features
Yes you were right, its actually an assignment but i was trying to use that case study wish i find very confusing.
Although i came up with a new idea this mornin and its like a Police Station type Database which will have. OFFICERS TABLE, CRIMINALS TABLES, DEPARTMENT, CRIMES TABLE, COURT TABLE. Please any further help will be appreciated.
Re: Help to identify tables and Features
Well, I'll try to help (here in the forum, that's how it works, not via PM), but I'm not going to do it for you. Have a look at the sample tables that are installed with the database. I'll assume Oracle, because that's what I use on a regular basis. Have a look at the EMP table (SCOTT schema, which you can specify to be installed during the installation), DESC EMP and/or SELECT * FROM EMP. (SQL*Plus requires queries to be terminated with a ; otherwise it prompts you for another line.) Also have a look at the other tables in SCOTT; the data dictionary query SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_TABLES is quite helpful.
You need to decide what information you want stored in each table, and what data type that information needs to be stored in. Text data is usually stored in VARCHAR2(n) where n is the maximum length of the column. Numeric data is stored in NUMBER type, or NUMBER(n) if you want to limit the number of decimal columns. (NUMBER is the same as NUMBER(38).) Dates are stored as DATE, timestamps as TIMESTAMP and there are others; read the SQL manual for a full list of types.
Don't worry too much about getting the syntax right at this stage (although if you can that'd be great.) Just list what information you want in a maximum of two tables and, if possible, have a guess at the data type you think might be appropriate.
Also you'll need to let us know what database software you're using. They're not all the same, so if you're not using Oracle then I'm probably limited in what I can do. However it is possible to download Oracle without paying licencing fees; I'm not qualified to advise on the precise terms but if you read the licencing agreement before downloading (and you will have to) then you'll be able to determine if it's appropriate to your needs. (I believe it's possible to use Oracle for free, in production, without paying, provided that the database doesn't exceed 1GB, and I think there are other limitations as well. That may or may not be Oracle Express; there are a variety of options to suit all budgets.)
Look here for database downloads:
and of course the documentation:
Re: Help to identify tables and Features
By the way, thanks for coming clean. It's very common for people to post homework and expect it to be done for them, and when you've seen enough of them you get to know the style. I don't mind helping people who are honest.
Re: Help to identify tables and Features
Thank you so much for your response. But i could hardly understand ur first paragraph.
I have even discarded my first plan and came up wit a better plan. At this stage all i need to do is to put up an UML model to submit. and my prospect is im looking at a Police database e.g a small county that has OFFICERS TABLE, UNITS, CRIMAINALS, CRIMES, COURT TABLE. It would be like each officer belongs to a unit, i.e bike patrol, traffic warden, narcotics etc.
Each criminal will have a procecuting officer, crime ID, etc, COURT will have juristiction, etc,
Hope you understand what i mean.
Now i need a complete table with attributes as well as their relationships.
Hope its much clearer now.
Re: Help to identify tables and Features
Yes and its Oracle i would implement it with, Bu thats at a latter stage after my tutpr has approved the proposal and i get all the relationships and stuffs. She emphazized that i use UML modelling.

Yes, its a little late. And yes, Friday was so last week.
But did you get to hear our lovely voices broadcast along the airwaves assisted by the power of The Captain on WIDR's Nonchalant Cafe Hour?
Better yet, did you get to hear us tantalize your taste buds with the promise of cheese and beer, plus a tour of New Holland Brewing Company?
So maybe you did tune in last Friday at noon to WIDR-FM (89.1) and of course, you did find out a little about the other things we are working on ... the fact that National Homebrew Day was this past Saturday and that Larry Bell is now Farmer Bell ... Or maybe you didn't.
Just in case, here's another to chance to see what's brewing in Southwest Michigan.
And don't forget to tune in this Friday at noon to find out what else is going on in the craft beer world.

The Bible says it's better to give than to receive, and science agrees.
A new study released Friday in the journal "science" found that people who gave gifts to others or to charities were happier than those who did not.
Earlier reports almost always linked more money to increased happiness, but researchers wanted to know if it mattered how that money was spent.
And it did.
"This work suggests that even making small alterations in how we spend money on a daily basis can make a difference in happiness," lead researcher Elizabeth Dunn said.
Dunn is an an assistant professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia. The school partnered with Harvard University to conduct the study.
Dunn added that she doesn't see anything "special" about money, and noted that giving doesn't need a large price tag, and can be in other forms like time or advice.
"(It) doesn't mean go get a high paying job so you can spend tons of money on others," she said. "The message is, given what you have, how can you make little alterations to do something for others."

Teenagers' Money, Discretionary Spending and Saving
M. J. Alhabeeb
University of Massachusetts at Amherst - College of Natural Resources & the Environment - Department of Resource Economics
FINANCIAL COUNSELING AND PLANNING, Vol. 7, 1996
This study investigated how much money was obtained and how it was spent by teenagers. It also examined the effects of individual and family characteristics on teens' discretionary spending and saving. Teens' income and age, separately, had negative effects on food expenditures and positive effects on both clothing and entertainment expenditures. Family income had a positive effect on teens' clothing and entertainment expenditures. Having an allowance negatively affected teens' food and clothing expenditures. Compared to female teens, males saved less and spent less on clothing and personal care items.

I started a project two years ago about a decommissioned army base in Massachusetts. I want to make a documentary film about it and decided to use this project to create a pitch tool to try to get funding. So this project will be a teaser and include a bit of everything. That will be the most difficult part for me as I have so much information.
Dr. Schrum suggested I use my personal story in the piece. When I was telling her about it she said she felt ghosts all over the place. And that is how I feel when I am there. Not in a creepy or bad way but there are so many clues, feelings and things left over from the base that exude this feeling of a bustling life that is no longer there. It does have business and some residential dwellings now but it is not what it was before.
I have about an hour of film footage and tons of photographs. I do not have any interviews, although I would like to. I have a guy in MA who agreed to an interview but I am not sure I have the funding to go. I will probably have to make do with that I have.
The project centers on how the base brought diversity to a primarily white community. I focus on the years 1917-WWII as that was the most interesting time of the base. As I did research, it also became a story about civil rights for African Americans and women. Here is a breakdown of what I can present:
Immigrants living in Boston help build the base
Immigrants serve in the Army
African Americans
German POWs
Between War Years:
A powerful Congresswoman in the 1930s turns the base into a permanent fixture and fights for women to serve in the armed forces.
African American men
African American women (including en "experiment" that paved the way for African American nurses to take care of white soldiers and also a court-martial)
German and a few Italian POWs (this is a big part of the story) Fort Devens was one of the largest non-Nazi POW camps in the U.S.
Project Paperclip which brought over German scientists to the U.S.
My personal story is I worked as a bartender on a course in Devens. One day I was the beverage cart driver and I saw a bunch of buildings in disarray. I drove the cart down there and start thinking about the life that used to be there. I thought it would make a great story. Obviously I have more details about the base but that is how I thought of the idea. Everywhere you look there are remnants of the base, from buildings to small plaques or downed utility wires.
I located some film footage at the Archives. I need to find out if this is something I can get a copy of. Since I will be showing this to potential grantors, I need to be careful about copyright. I have a bunch of images and shots in my head already. I thought about showing before and after pictures but in an interesting context. My biggest drawback is not having an interview. If I can get some old film footage I think that will help but still a problem. I could hit some VFW's or whatever they have around here to see if anyone served at Devens around that time. Might be a long shot but it might be worth it. Skype will be a tough option as the man is in his 80s and legally blind. And I just feel I should be there for something that personal.
My group pointed out my biggest dilemma is going for breadth or depth. If I go for breath, I will highlight one main story from each category of people or time period. If I go for depth, I will do the German POW camp as it is the lesser known story.

Star Wars Battlefront 3 Trailer Goes Viral [VIDEO]
It doesn't seem that long ago that I was a wide-eyed kid seeing 'Star Wars' for the first time at the Cinema 1 & 2 in Duluth. I, like everyone else, was amazed and ended up seeing the movie over and over.
I'm hoping the new 'Star Wars' film can bring back the magic of the first 3, and it looks like 'Star Wars Battlefront 3' is also looking to do just that.

Make sure your meat thermometer is properly calibrated. To test its accuracy, hold it in boiling water using tongs. If it doesn't read 212°F or within one or two degrees, then you need to adjust your thermometer. Repeat the test, this time in a bowl filled with crushed ice and water. It should register 32°F; adjust accordingly if it doesn't. Most dial thermometers will allow you to adjust the dial to the proper temperature. We like to check ours a couple times a year.

It's good practice to reserve about ½ cup of the seasoned pasta water before you drain your cooked pasta. This will allow you to adjust the consistency of your pasta sauce, if need be. The starch in the water will add more body than if you were to just use tap water.

Confused about what salt to use? Table? Sea? Kosher? The main difference between them is texture. Here's the breakdown on the rest:
pictured from left to right: table, sea, kosher salt
Table salt is the most common salt found in home kitchens and on tables at restaurants. It's mined from underground salt deposits and refined so most minerals are removed. It includes a small amount of an anti-caking agent and iodine is usually added. Table salt can have a sharp taste to it. Because the crystals are so fine, it is not an equal substitution with kosher salt. Figure about 1 teaspoon table salt = 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt.
Sea salt is harvested from naturally evaporated (through wind and sun) seawater. Because manufacturers use little processing, trace amounts of minerals are left behind giving the salt its characteristic color and flavor, depending on where it's from. Many claim that sea salt is fresh, pure and briny tasting. It's available in coarse and fine grains as well as various flakes, depending on how it's handled. Because of the expense of the more artisan sea salts, and the fact that the flavor subtleties disappear into cooked foods, it is often used as a finishing salt on foods like salads or tomatoes. The crunch is an added bonus.
Kosher salt is what we at do it Delicious prefer to use because it dissolves quickly, has a clean flavor, is inexpensive, and, due to the shape and size of its small flaky crystals, it's easy to pinch. Kosher salt doesn't contain additives and can be derived from either sea or salt mines.
One more thing to remember: the total recommended daily sodium intake is from 1500mg to 2300mg (that's about 3/4 to 1 teaspoon table salt).

As a follow-up to our How to Freeze and Thaw blog post we thought it might be helpful to share our favorite freezer storage containers.
We love Pyrex's Bake, Serve 'N Store series because you can do just that.
You can bake, microwave, freeze or refrigerate in them. And most importantly, you can bake directly from the freezer to the oven! (This is such a great time saver.) We also love that the series includes 2 types of lids: BPA-free plastic lids for airtight storage and glass lids for cooking (don't use the plastic lids in the microwave or oven).
The rectangle shape (as opposed to round) is great for utilizing space efficiently in your refrigerator or freezer, and they nest as well, leaving a smaller footprint in your cupboard when not in use. Because the glass is non-porous, they won't absorb stains or odors like many plastic containers. They are also dishwasher safe and made in the USA.

Last Saturday night, Jerry and I went out for dinner with our best couple friends. As a treat, we decided to go to a new "it" restaurant—one that had a magnificent review in an esteemed paper. When we got there, we were impressed by the ambiance. The room was lovely—exceptional flowers dotted the tables and beautiful dogwood branches were elegantly placed throughout. A very proper maître d' greeted us, and a sommelier came to take our wine order. The items on the menu were meticulously described, and it was hard to choose—so much so that we decided to share all of our dishes—appetizers and main courses.
All of the elements were in place for a memorable meal.
Then the food began to arrive. To call it fancy would be an understatement. There was foam, there were architectural elements, and there were animal parts none of us had ever tried. The food was prepared in very special and highly considered ways that are difficult to describe.
We all suddenly felt a little low class for this joint.
Our little group prefers a more low-key, rustic type of food—the kind that is not precious in any way.
Despite the design and display of food at this restaurant, none of us loved our dishes the way you want to when you are getting dressed up and entering into an atmosphere that suggests such greatness.
When we got the bill, we were in shock. Yes, we fully understand and respect how labor intensive it is to prepare dishes so delicately and how much training it requires to be capable of doing so. But, when we compared the cost to our level of enjoyment, the numbers just didn't make sense to us. And it was then that we came to a revelatory conclusion: WE ARE NOT FOODIES.
This was a major admission on our part. We love food, and we like to think of ourselves as open-minded and adventurous eaters. But the cult and fetishization of fancy food is simply not us, and we are comfortable with that. As my husband—who has coined a phrase once or twice in his life—eloquently said, "We are not foodies, we're EATIES!"
YES! We are EATIES!!! Simply put, we just love to eat good food that is not complicated, overwrought, and over thought.
This realization gave me new insight into my approach to food preparation. I have written two books aimed at offering food solutions for families. The first emphasized ways to blend healthy vegetables into kids' favorite meals, while the second one expanded the concept of good family meals by adding in grains and other nutritious supplements. Both books were best sellers, but more importantly, both resulted in a massive outpouring of feedback from parents who were ecstatic to find simple approaches to feeding their children better—and craving more.
Many foodies and other food puritans (many of whom have never cooked a meal for a child) don't like the approach of turning vegetables and other nutrients into invisible ingredients. Which is fine! Not every tactic is right for everyone. Some have children who have loved whole vegetables from the time they started eating solid food. Mazel Tov! Believe me, I tried it their way for years, but when dinner becomes stressful or when your child has never eaten anything that was grown fresh from the ground, it's time to try something else.
So I set about solving my own problem, and it worked. My kids now eat salad every night, and loads of fresh veggies. And since I started sharing my experiences and recipes, I have been overwhelmed by the reaction from people who are grateful to have seen a green vegetable enter their child's body for the first time—especially from the many highly sensitive or autistic kids who need their vegetables pureed.
But when Jerry said, "You are an Eatie," I realized suddenly who I am, professionally. Just because I write books and make videos about food, doesn't mean I should be categorized as a foodie. I am really just a schlep who came up with a way to feel better as a mother in how I feed my extremely picky eaters. It's okay that some disagree with how I feed my family vegetables, but it's working for us.
Families that have food issues—big or small—that's who I'm focused on. As an Eatie, I am dedicated to simple, basically prepared fare that is delicious, wholesome, and affordable. I hope you will join me in our Eatie Club. We are accepting new members.

One of the few positives that come with an 0-10 record is that the Indianapolis Colts hold the #1 waiver priority – meaning they get the first crack at any player that has recently been released. Through 10 games, the Colts offense ranks 30th in Passing Yards, 32nd in Yards Per Attempt (YPA), 30th in Passing Touchdowns, and 31st in QB Rating. Yesterday, the Denver Broncos decided to release their Week One starting Quarterback, Kyle Orton. While Orton hasn't won very many games over the past 2 seasons (4-14), he's put up respectable numbers: 58.8 completion %, 257 ypg, and a 28:16 TD:INT ratio. Orton would represent a significant upgrade at the Quarterback position for the Indianapolis Colts. So, should the Colts claim him off of Waivers? Afterall, the Colts are on the fast track to drafting Andrew Luck, and winning a few meaningless games down the stretch of 2011 could threaten the #1 overall selection in April's draft.My take: Yes, the Colts absolutely need to pick up Kyle Orton, for a variety of reasons. First off, the Colts offense needs a change over the final 6 weeks of the season. With Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky under center, this offense isn't accomplishing much. It's hard for young players like Anthony Castonzo, Delone Carter, and Donald Brown to develop their talents when the Quarterback position is performing so poorly. Bringing in a quality QB like Orton would do wonders for this offense, and should develop some momentum heading into the offseason. While it may not sound like much of a consolation prize for Colts fans, realize this: the Detroit Lions carried over some late 2010 success into the start of this season, and have gone from the laughing stock of the NFL (now the Colts), to a 7-3 team looking to make the playoffs for the first time in a dozen years. Secondly, claiming Kyle Orton proves to fans (and the rest of the NFL) that the Colts aren't in fact tanking their season, a.k.a. "Sucking For Luck". It's painfully obvious that Curtis Painter is not an NFL-caliber QB, and Dan "RunOutOfTheBackOfTheEndZone" Orlovsky isn't one either. Picking up Kyle Orton, a veteran QB, proves that the Colts are still trying to improve as a team. Passing on him would show that the Colts' management truly doesn't care about winning a single football game in 2011. This is an opportunity for Jim Irsay, Bill Polian, and Jim Caldwell to give back to the fans. I think I speak for every Colts' fan when I say this: I'm tired of watching Curtis Painter run our offense. While Kyle Orton would be an upgrade over Painter and Orlovsky, I don't believe it'd cost the Colts the #1 overall pick in April's draft. The Colts have a 2-game lead over the Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers, and St. Louis Rams; and a 3-game lead over the Washington Redskins, Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, and Jacksonville Jaguars. If Orton was signed, he wouldn't start for the Colts this coming Sunday – which would realistically give him 5 starts with the team. Given just how bad our defense has been playing, and the upcoming schedule (Carolina, @New England, @Baltimore, Tennessee, Houston, @Jacksonville), it's hard to imagine that the team can win more than a game or two. Lastly, and most importantly, is the flexibility that Orton would provide in 2012. Orton is under contract through 2012, and losing him at the end of next season would likely earn a middle-round compensatory draft pick for the Colts. In the meantime, Orton could serve as the team's insurance option to Peyton Manning if Manning gets injured in 2012 (or never returns healthy). He could serve as a mentor to Andrew Luck (or another rookie QB) if Peyton Manning retires, gets traded, or is cut. Having at least 1 healthy, competent QB on the roster would give the Colts more leverage and flexibility in April's draft, and not force the team to draft a QB by any means necessary. And given the uncertainty of Peyton's health, the Colts brass would be stupid not to bring in another quality QB. What would you do?
Should the Colts Claim Kyle Orton off Waivers?

If you want to know your local hospital's success rate for 31 of the most common treatments and conditions, you can check a report that comes out today. The report from the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council focuses on treatments and conditions such as congestive heart failure, heart attack, pneumonia, stroke and gallbladder removal.
Overall, the council said the latest report shows that safety and survival rates continue to improve. It includes results from all of the state's 157 hospitals.
One of the main measures involves mortality rates, which refer to patients who die while hospitalized for any of the 31 procedures or conditions. In addition, the report focuses on measures including how often patients have to return to the hospital because of complications and the average charge for the treatment.
The latest version of the annual report covers the year ending Sept. 30, 2008.
The report doesn't grade or rank hospitals or suggest that any should be avoided.
The health care council, which is a state agency, said the goal is to help consumers make better and more cost-effective health care decisions.
The report showed that 4.2 percent of patients treated for one of the 31 conditions died in 2008. That's down from 5.1 percent in 2002, although the report noted the 2002 report focused on only 20 categories.
The biggest improvement in mortality rate was for strokes of the type that involve a broken blood vessel and bleeding. In 2002, nearly 34 percent of such patients died, compared with about 26 percent in 2008.

How to "Get Your Head Around" an Unbelievable Fact
Posted on January 11, 2011 | 89 Comments | Permalink | Email Article | Tweet
- I´ll have the deep fried Mars Bars and the heart transplant combo, please.
- Would you like to add mayo for only 25 cents?
- Suuure!
I laughed so hard t this Though one clarification. I am Puertorican, I live in the island and not in the states. NO its not common to put cheddar cheese in Coffee. We do it in Hot Cocoa! lol And believe me it is good. Just grab a cup of Cocoa and instead of a marshmellow drop a lil bar strip of cheddar in there. After a while just take it out and eat it or after u drink the Cocoa out!
Peanut butter and mayonnaise is a taste sensation. Especially on Digestive biscuits.
Bwahahaha! I read the title, saw that it starred Rick, and immediately pictured the face that appears in frame 3. :D
Mayonnaise on pizza??? That's just wrong on a brazillion different levels.
LOL!!! That was both lame AND amazing simultaneously. I feel ashamed for laughing so hard. Curse you, you glorious bastard.
It's a regional thing here in Brazil. In Rio people will put ketchup on their pizza, while in Sao Paulo that's seen as heresy.
Scott, I'm from Brazil and yes, I saw a guy putting mayonnaise in pizza.
that is so strange for us because pizzerias here don't even serve that... only ketchup, pepper and mustard. (sometimes olive oil too)
Hey Scott, love your comic. I've been reading it from the beginning since i found it about a week ago, great stuff!
Anyway i just wanted to be sure you and your readers are aware of the best way to make a grilled cheese sandwich since we're talking about gross mayonnaise stuff now. Next time you make one, 'butter' the bread with mayo instead of actual butter(or margarine). The fist time i heard of i had a similar reaction as you in panel 3, but mayo is made of oil, eggs, and spices; the oil obviously fries the sandwich perfectly golden brown while the eggs and spices impart a delicious flavor. So give it a try it's good and i'm not really one to mayo-up my food so mayo pizza sounds terrible to me.

Climate change mitigation - Why care? (Malta)
- Topic
- Climate change
Climate Change is currently one of the principal threats facing nations worldwide, although the impacts of climate change will differ depending on relative vulnerabilities. Human activities, such as the combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation, have from the start of the industrial revolution led to higher concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere than was previously the case. These gases trap heat within the atmosphere, resulting in a general increase in global temperatures, with associated changes in climatic conditions. Indeed, the Fourth Assessment Report from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has indicated that 11 of the 12 years between 1995 and 2006 have been amongst the warmest since 1850.[1] In Europe, the temperature is currently 1.4 °C warmer than pre-industrial levels.[2]
For a small island state situated in the southern European area of the Mediterranean, Malta is considered to be very vulnerable to the predicted impacts of climate change. Whilst Malta is not considered to be a significant contributor to global GHG emissions, it has taken on the responsibility to curb such emissions, illustrating that everyone is capable of taking a degree of mitigating action comparable to the nation's capacity and capability.

A Montreal family says it is outraged that Wawanesa is cancelling its home insurance because of its decision to foster children.
When the family updated its home insurance policy it advised Wawanesa of five new foster kids in the house.
Shortly after, it received a letter saying its contract would be terminated as of July.
"My husband called them and they told him they would not keep our contract with us because the children are high risk," the mother, who asked not to be named to protect her children, said.
"These children already have a rough life as it is and for them to cancel insurance because they've been labelled as foster kids, it's not fair to the kids or the families helping them out," she continued.
Wawanesa refused to comment on the case but told CJAD News that the policy on foster children has been in place for the last 30 years and provides coverage for families with 2 foster children or less.
The family says it plans on retaliating.
"We are furious, we have our car insurance with them also and we'll be cancelling. They were disappointed because we've been a client for 15 years, and we've been a good client."
The Insurance Bureau of Canada said it can help foster families find insurance, but it rarely receives the request.
But the family says it's shopping around for a new insurance company and Belair Direct has refused to cover the home as well.

Runners Need (Running Shoe Shop)
07 October 2005
This is the ONLY shop that you need if you are a runner. Excellent kit, really friendly staff and great advice. I have bought running kit online and from other stores, but not now - the advice that you get here is invaluable so I will always use Runners Need.
Brown's (Fishmongers)
07 October 2005
A real gem in St John's Wood. I had my first oyster in the shop. I love going there for the wet fish and the smoked fish is good too.
Panzers Delicatessen (Delicatessen)
07 October 2005
Great produce, great range of items and flawless service. When I accidentally picked up unwaxed lemons I was politely told how much they cost and shown a cheaper (and equally excellent) alternative.

The Horizon Kompakt: Have No Fear!written by abigail0605 on 2012-11-08 #gear
I have the awesome privilege of trying out some Lomography cameras I don't own from my darkroom photography teacher at school. When he let me borrow the Horizon Kompakt and gave a roll of 400 Ilford Black and White 35mm film, I was thrilled and intimidated at the same time. But I say have no fear!

Battery Waste
Generators of battery waste are required to comply with rules and regulations promulgated by federal, state and local regulatory agencies. The Resource Conservation and Recover Act (RCRA) specifies disposal requirements; the Department of Transportation requires compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations during transportation of hazardous materials; the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality licenses, inspects and regulates generators, haulers and disposal facilities handling waste.
The safety guidelines, regulations and procedures presented are intended to help generators comply with governmental rules and regulations designed to protect human health and the environment. Strict compliance with these regulations ensures the waste is managed, transported, and disposed of safely and properly while reducing potential liability to the University.
- All battery types and sizes are accepted in the OSEH Hazardous Materials Management (HMM) battery collection/recycling program.
- All battery pails must have a green "Universal Waste" label affixed to the container. Battery labels can be ordered by contacting HMM at 763-4568.
Universal Waste Label
- Fill out the label, including the "Accumulation Start Date." The accumulation start date is the first day that you begin filling the container with batteries.
- All batteries must be sent for recycling within one year of the accumulation start date. However, batteries should only be accumulated for 10 months or less to ensure compliance.
- After a battery is spent, place the battery in the white pail and replace the lid.
- Once the pail becomes 2/3 to 3/4 full, contact HMM at 763-4568 to request collection of the batteries. Replacement pails can be delivered when the full pail is collected.
- For collections of lead acid batteries, batteries too large to fit in the pails, or the collection of an extremely large number of batteries at once, please contact HMM at 763-4568 to arrange for a special collection.
Contact HMM at 763-4568 for delivery of waste containers. Containers are also available for pick up at the North Campus Transfer Facility. 5-gallon pails are typically used to collect batteries.

Summary: This trail is a fairly easy hike around Dock Lake in Chain-O-Lakes State Park. There is very little steep terrain, but there are some small hills to walk up. The trail brings you over two bridges over channels first between Dock Lake and Bowen Lake, and later Dock Lake and Long Lake.
For the most part, the trail takes you through deciduous forest, with a smaller area of pine forest.
The trail is in excelent condition, but can be very muddy after a large rain, or during a period of melting snow.
Trailhead: The trailhead is directly to the west of the fish cleaning station outside the main campgrounds. It is clearly marked as trail 1. Look at the attached picture for further reference. (Lat:41.33132 Lon:-85.37285)

For me, the worst problem is that the people I correct, doesn't seem to care that they misspeak or pronounce anything wrong. And that is a crime to the language, of every nation. It destroys it, modifies it, and frankly, makes it sound more retarded. In Denmark, when people want to say the word "kilometer", they sometimes say "kilomet", because they in some retarded way, think that because of the "-er" at the end, it signifies plurality. When I correct them, and they say I'm wrong, I say "Well, are you 1 met and XX centimeters tall?"
It's a disgrace.

Blogs Liberty and Power Kelo Calamity?Aug 2, 2005 1:31 am
Kelo Calamity?
If we are to have a serious debate about eminent domain, we need to get beyond this ridiculous distinction between public and private use. Government is a racket that rewards itself through plunder and always in the name of public purpose. The truth is that there is no coherent way to separate public and private purpose when it comes to government. Its roads benefit private contractors and serve private interests. It's true they are"free," but so are the streets in shopping malls, which are private. As for public schools, the teachers unions and hordes of bureaucrats are private interests too. Indeed, there is no such thing as the"public," there are only individuals.

Ironically, governor Riley, who is supporting the Alabama law limiting eminent doman, has been a longtime advocate of seizing property for commercial purposes over the years. In fact, the Libertarian governor candidate John Sophocleus (a man ahead of his time in this regard) tried to get traction on this issue back in 2003....without much success.
Riley may still be up to his old tricks, however. The Alabama bill makes an exception which allowed for the seizure of "blighted property" (never defined.
Mark Brady - 8/2/2005
Thanks for the link, Anthony. It's a good essay as we would expect from Lew Rockwell.
See also "States Ride Post-'Kelo' Wave of Legislation: Eminent domain curbs introduced in 28 states". This article notes that the initial enthusiasm to limit eminent domain laws is likely to dissipate. Which is, of course, no argument against what Rockwell has written but just a reminder of the long slog that faces those who defend justly acquired private property against its enemies.

I have recently bought a dvd on play.com: Sweeney Todd in Concert. Totally blew my mind!
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a musical, written and composed by musical genius Stephen Sondheim. It tells the tale of Benjamin Barker, a barber in London in the 19th century. After serving 15 years of punishment on a trumped-up charge, he returns to London as a different man. He finds out his wife has poisoned herself after being raped, and his child Joanna is being raised by the rapist, Judge Turpin. He seeks revenge and opens a barbershop above Mrs. Lovett's Meat Pie Shop. They survive together by slitting the throats of gentlemen and then baking them into pies.
The best known stage-Sweeney is probably George Hearn, know for Sweeney Todd and La Cage Aux Folles. He played Sweeney in 1980, one year after opening performance. Angela Lansbury (very famous lady!) was the first Mrs. Lovett, the baker of human pies.
In my Concert-version (2001), George Hearn also portrays Sweeney Todd. At the age of 67, he still plays the part stunningly! And he wasn't even the man intended for the job. It would have been Bryn Terfel, but he had very last-minute problems with his back, so George Hearn was asked to substitute.
The second star of this Concert-version is Patti Lupone. She portrays Mrs Lovett, the wicked baker, and does so brilliantly. She won a Tony for her performance, and that's very deserved. She's American, although you wouldn't guess that. The part of Mrs. Lovett is sung in a thick London-accent, I was shocked when I heard speak in real life! (on youtube, I heard her speak on youtube) Click here for the awesome song A Little Priest.
Please see/love/buy this musical, you can find it here on youtube, it's a very good quality.
