R. Kelly has a new CD, a new memoir and a new health problem preventing him from promoting both.
A spokesman for the R&B singer said he is suffering complications from throat surgery and will miss promotional appearances.
He was reportedly on his way to New York Wednesday morning when he became ill and returned to Chicago for treatment. Kelly had surgery last year to treat an abscess on his vocal cords.
Kelly's new album, "Write Me Back," came out Tuesday, and his memoir, Soulacoaster: The Diary of Me, drops Thursday.
In a review of the book, the Associated Press said the book is entertaining but "does not discuss what really happened with the sex tape that almost sent him to prison. It does not include a single word about Aaliyah, the late singer Kelly allegedly married when she was 15. Other tantalizing incidents and individuals are glossed over. A tell-all, this is not."

IEA Releases Updated Report on Gaps in Clean Energy Development
21 July 2010: The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released a report aimed at decision makers titled "Global Gaps in Clean Energy RD&D: Update and Recommendations for International Collaboration."
The report updates a December 2009 IEA paper that found that clean energy research, development and demonstration (RD&D) public funding must be increased 3-6 times current levels in order to achieve a 50% reduction in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. The update discusses the impacts of green stimulus commitments of the past two years but questions whether their one-off nature can sustain longer-term growth. The Global Gaps report continues by highlighting the need to catalyze private sector involvement as a financial and technical innovation partner to achieve global climate goals, and what must be done to that end. The report highlights existing successes in this area, such as: fiscal incentives; biofuels blending mandates; grants for demonstration initiatives; feed-in tariffs; and quota- based schemes.
The new Global Gaps report also re-analyzes the funding gaps looked at in the previous report, estimating the remaining gap to be between US$30-90 billion, half of which is expected to come from public funding. In the new analysis, the IEA formulates recommendations for advancing international action in the following nine areas: advanced vehicles; bioenergy; carbon capture and storage (CCS); high-efficiency coal technologies; energy efficiency in buildings and industry; nuclear energy; solar energy; smart grids; and other renewables, including wind.

HAGERSTOWN -- Hagerstown manager Tripp Keister viewed the Suns' home-opener as something of a learning experience for his team.
"They had to figure out where to sit in the dugout," Keister said.
The Suns players received 10 innings to find the best dugout location after virtually stealing a run to send Thursday's game against Delmarva to extra innings.
Relief pitcher Robert Benincasa didn't have enough time to figure out the Shorebirds hitters, however.
Instead, Delmarva got to Benincasa with regularity in the 10th inning by scoring three times, the first two runs coming on Christian Walker's home run, and Delmarva spoiled the Suns' first game this season in Municipal Stadium with a 7-4 victory.
"I liked the fact we got the tying run to the plate (in the 10th)," Keister said. "(Brandon) Miller got a good at-bat. What did he miss it by? Five feet?"
Miller's drive to deep left-center field was hauled in Gregory Lorenzo to end the game with runners on first and second after a two-out walk and error.
"Every game's been a close game, except (Wednesday night, a 6-0 win over Lakewood)," Keister said. "They're still learning."
While the Suns recovered from a deficit starting in the fifth inning, they didn't have enough to overcome Delmarva's power surge against Benincasa in the 10th.
Torsten Boss laced a one-out single and Walker went "casa" - the Spanish word for house - on Benincasa.
Nik Balog and Creede Simpons then paired doubles for Delmarva's third run in the 10th.
Benincasa was in his first inning of relief after taking over for Ryan Dupra, who tossed four scoreless innings of relief in place of starter Ivan Pineryro.
"He did a nice job," Keister said. "He kept us in the game."
The manager thought the way Dupra, who is familiar with the seating location in the bullpen after pitching for the Suns in 2012, kept the Shorebirds off-balance with changing speeds keyed his solid outing.
Dupra allowed two hits while striking out four.
The Suns fell behind in the fifth inning after a leadoff home run to left field by Simpson and a two-run triple by Boss.
Hagerstown narrowed their gap to 4-3 in its half of the fifth on singles by Craig Manuel and Wes Schill and a two-run double by Tony Renda.
Renda, though, was picked off second for the second out of the inning, and only the aggressiveness of Estarlin Martinez prevented the Suns from falling in nine innings.
After singling up the middle in the eighth inning, Martinez moved to second on a wild pitch. Then he caught pitcher Miguel Chacas napping, taking off for third base with the pitcher holding the ball between pitches. Chacas' throw was wide of third, allowing Martinez to score the fourth run and knot the game.
"That's one of the things we talk about, being aggressive on the bases," Keister said. "We got a run that way."
The Suns just couldn't tie it again when they needed to do so.
The Suns and Shorebirds scored an early run apiece.
Hagerstown took a lead in the second as Miller doubled and advanced on a pair of groundouts, with J.R. Higley getting the RBI.
Delmarva tied the game at 1-1 a half-inning later, though a running blunder prevented the Shorebirds from scoring additional runs.
Winston Sawyer tripled and scored on sacrifice fly by Adrian Marin. A single by Anthony Vega was followed by a shot to the right-field corner by Lorenzo, who raced around the bases looking for a triple.
The trouble was, though, Vega had stopped at third as Lorenzo headed to third, a base maybe as unfamiliar to some Shorebirds as their dugout was to the Suns, and Hagerstown was able to record the final out. of the inning via a rundown.

Anyway, Turkey's top military leader, General Yasar Buyukanit, claimed that he would hunt down Kurdish rebels who have killed Turkish citizens and "make them grieve with an intensity they cannot imagine." I don't know about you, but to me that's pretty powerful shit. I can imagine some pretty intense forms of suffering:
But a suffering I can't imagine? No thank you, sir, I'm fine here with my Mr. Pibb and grilled cheese sandwich. Sounds like Turks have some pretty fucked up imaginations. Or maybe they don't, considering that when pressed for elaboration Buyukanit said "we can't say when or how we will do it, we'll just do it."
Of course, I'm hoping the reason he said that is because he's got a think tank of Turkish torture specialists brainstorming never-before-imagined ways in which to make someone grieve. Grieve so hard.
Otherwise, wow, way to undercut your frightening image, Yasar. Take a hint from American officials: when you instill fear, make sure it sticks and then use it to keep gays from getting married.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 also dropped down to $399 at Best Buy. Either in response to the iPad 2 or possibly because they are going to start preparing for their new Tablets as well.

Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson, attempting to stop into the laid-back Melrose Avenue watering hole The Snake Pit. Alas, the couple's evening was cut short at the door. Why? Lohan, 22, and Ronson, 31, were unable to produce ID – and the doorman was forced to turn them away. Meanwhile, inside, Kirsten Dunst happily hung with her friends.
Diddy, sitting in the second
row at Madonna's Madison Square Garden concert alongside
Rosie O'Donnell and Michael Kors. The music
mogul, whose arm is in a sling, spent much of the show seated, texting away
on his iPhone. But when Madonna sang "You Must Love Me," Diddy leapt to his
feet and threw his hands – well, hand – in the air, screaming, "We
love you!" The rapper piped up again, laughing hysterically when one of
Madonna's flamenco dancers began tap dancing. And O'Donnell got some
attention, too: When Madonna fell into the lap of one of
her dancers, she looked over her shoulder and winked at her good friend.
Michael Phelps may stay mum about his personal life, but at
a bash celebrating New York's Bowlmor Lanes' 70th anniversary, the
Olympian's actions spoke volumes. While he bowled with a group of pals,
college friend (and petite brunette) Marina Katz never left his
side. In fact, the pair enthusiastically exchanged kisses on the cheek and
hugs whenever they scored strikes. Phelps also sat close to his friend,
keeping his arm around her.
Serena Williams isn't above a good bargain. The tennis
champ ducked into L.A.'s Beverly Center, stopping at Forever 21 with a
female friend and a teenage girl. "Serena wanted to take a look at an
accessories rack across the way and made sure to check in on the young girl
who was standing in line," says a fellow shopper. Apparently, a kiosk of
bangles and earrings caught Williams' eye.
MTV's bisexual bachelorette Tila Tequila took her party to
West Hollywood's Coco de Ville, grabbing a booth right in front of the
deejay, which she shared with Danity Kane singer D. Woods. Tila was in the mood to dance, though, and barely sat down all
night, getting busy to tunes like ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man."
Just hours after Misty May-Treanor announced that an
injury was forcing her to leave Dancing with the Stars, much of the DWTS crew hit L.A. club Coco de Ville to celebrate ex-contestant Jeff Ross' DVD Jeff Ross No Offense: Live from New Jersey. While Cheryl Burke helped Ross blow out the candles on a sheet cake
at the Dewars White Label-hosted bash, pals Dane Cook, Lance Bass and former dancer partner Edyta Sliwinska gathered around to
serenade the funnyman with "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow."

(Dys-)Functional Medicine Comes to Dentistry
The great philosopher Deepak Chopra wrote: "I do not believe in meaningless coincidences. I believe every coincidence is a message, a clue about a particular facet of our lives that requires our attention." So when SBM author extraordinaire Jann Bellamy emailed me last week with an article about so-called "Functional Dentistry" with the comment "Blog fodder?", I looked it over with interest and then promptly filed it away in my brain along with other things that I might get around to doing but probably won't. The very next day, Dr. Clay Jones – also an SBM bloggist extraordinaire – asked me if I'd mind pinch-hitting and write a blog post for his upcoming Friday morning time slot while he was away on vacation.
Personally, I find it more plausible that Jann and Clay secretly conspired to have me write this article in order to lure me into a rage spiral, than the notion that The Universe was sending me a message about a particular facet of my life that required my attention. But we are at Point B now, are we not? Regardless of whether the first domino was pushed by The Universe or by Jann and Clay, I suppose it is now incumbent upon me to share with the SBM readership yet another way where pseudo-scientific practices and deceptive branding and marketing tactics have trickled down from medicine into dentistry.
In this blog post, I will review what Functional Medicine (FM) is, what is wrong about it and what is right about it (yes, there are aspects of FM that are legitimate, if not admirable), and how it has infiltrated (some say contaminated) the field of dentistry. I think you'll find that, when you pull back the curtains, the reality of FM as a "new and improved" medical/dental paradigm is vastly embellished and overstated, and the Great and Powerful Functional Medicine Oz is really just an old geezer pulling the levers of spin and hyperbole and pushing the buttons of pseudo-science.

The itinerary is great, as it allows to cover some of the best fjords in the region. Too bad the Oslo stopover was cancelled during the trip, due to the tragic events earlier, as Kristiansand is clearly not a suitable alternative in terms of scenery or things to do.
The ship is generally good, and in particularly comfort in our minisuite room for 3 people was very good on this new ship.
What disappointed us was the way in which Costa maximizes their profits by not only filling the whole cruise ship, but also either charging for things we were not expected to pay extra (e.g. mineral water),overcharging for other things (example: prices for excursion tours we could book ourselves on the Internet were uplifted by 50% minimum!) or constantly "nagging" people to buy additional services (spa, etc). Clearly, they are taking advantage of having a captive customer group to milk them as much as possible.
Food was generally fine, although the buffet selection was only "average".
Entertainment was OK, but clearly this is not the strongest point of Costa either.
All in all, I would say great itinerary, very good ship, good food, but so-so on overall company (a taste of Italian family outings!) and value for money

In today's TV Picks, "Idol" returns with a new attitude, ABC goes back to "Suburgatory" and those "Duck" guys return.
Let's go to the bullets:
- "American Idol" (7 p.m. on FOX, cable channel 13): Harry Connick Jr. joins the panel and, oh my word, what a difference it makes. The show has a new set of producer and, based on tonight's first round of auditions, they have a whole new set of priorities. Tonight's hopefuls are in Austin and Boston, and most of what drove me away from the audition episodes and, eventually, from the whole series itself appears to have been axed. There aren't any auditioners obviously there as a joke. We aren't expected to laugh at the rich and famous (Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez are back as judges) making fun of the delusional singers. Instead, Connick leads a renaissance of actual, insightful judging: He's forthright when singers just aren't quite good enough, and he's willing to call out his fellow judges when they rave over singers who use licks to cover for the fact that they can't hold one steady, solid note.
- "Arrow" (7 p.m. on The CW, cable channel 11): Ollie (Stephen Ammel) gets into trouble while trying to stop a bomb from exploding at a rally, and Thea (Willa Holland) is confused by Roy's (Colton Haynes) sudden super-strength.
- "The Middle" (7 p.m. on ABC, cable channel 8): Sue (Eden Sher) gets into a massive prank war with Axl (Charlie McDermott).
- "Revolution" (7 p.m. on NBC, cable channel 5): Monroe (David Lyons) must make a decision about his son.
- "Suburgatory" (7:30 p.m. on ABC): Tonight's return refocuses the show on the relationship of Tessa (Jane Levy) and her dad (Jeremy Sisto) and their continuing bewilderment at their neighbors, simplifying the show to good effect. That's not to say that the Shays (Ana Gasteyer, Chris Parnell and Allie Grant) and the Royces (Cheryl Hines and Carly Chaikin) don't get good play. In fact, Dalia got a huge laugh from me in next week's episode, which continues her relationship with "Daddy Altman" (Sisto). It's a welcome return.
- "The Tomorrow People" (8 p.m. on The CW): The kids try to free captives from Ultra's secret labs, and Stephen (Robbie Ammel) thinks he's figured out where his dad is.
- "Modern Family" (8 p.m. on ABC): Gloria (Sophia Vergara) faces down a mean mom (Jane Krakowski) at a high-school open house, while Jay (Ed O'Neill) teaches Phil (Ty Burrell) how to play hooky.
- "Psych" (8 p.m. on USA, cable channel 25): Shawn (James Roday) looks for something to link a group of murder victims.
- "Criminal Minds" (8 p.m. on CBS, cable channel 12): Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) calls on her old hacker skills for a new case and reconnects with a past flame (Paolo Costanzo).
- "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" (8 p.m. on NBC): Cragen (Dann Florek) has a big announcement for the squad.
- "Super Fun Night" (8:30 p.m. on ABC): Marika and Helen-Alice (Lauren Ash and Liza Lapira) get makeovers.
- "Duck Dynasty" (9 p.m. on A&E, cable channel 31): A month after Phil Robertson's bigoted comments on gays and blacks made headlines, resulting in a short and meaningless suspension, the show returns for a fifth season -- one that won't address the controversy, since it was already filmed well before the GQ interview blew up. Already a ratings juggernaut, I'm betting tonight's two episodes do even better than normal, if only because of those "Stand with Phil" folks tuning in to make a statement. I never watched it before, and I certainly ain't going to watch it now.
- "American Horror Story: Coven" (9 p.m. on FX, cable channel 43): Fiona and Laveau (Jessica Lange and Angela Bassett) take the battle to the Corporation, while Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) makes a big sacrifice.
- "Nashville" (9 p.m. on ABC): Find out who died in the midseason cliffhanger -- Peggy (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) or Will (Chris Carmack). I'm rooting for Peggy to bite it, but I do hope Teddy (Eric Close) somehow finds out about her creative use of pigs' blood.
- "Men at Work" (9 p.m. on TBS, cable channel 23): The sitcom returns for a third season with Neal (Adam Busch) planning on proposing to Amy (Meredith Hagner), though he needs to secure her dad's (J.K. Simmons) approval first.
- "CSI" (9 p.m. on CBS): The team investigates a murder on an inbound flight to Vegas, with guest stars Jaleel White and Joel Grey.
- "Top Chef" (9 p.m. on Bravo, cable channel 23): Every other New Orleans food cliche has been touched on, so tonight, it's po'boys.
- "Chicago PD" (9 p.m. on NBC): The squad looks for Antonio's (Jon Seda) son, believed to be a kidnap victim.
So, what are you watching?

I have a 16" dpms with a 1 in 9 twist. Will it stabilize 62 gr. bullets?

Will it stabilize 62 gr. bullets?
Lighter weight bullets are less of a problem than the heavier, (80gr up) to stabilize in a medium fast twist like you have.
June 16, 2010, 05:48 PM
I have a little different slant. My Kimber Longmaster Classic with a 1:9 24" barrel will stabilize a 62 grain bullet (no tumbling) but accuracy is poor. The Sierra 63 grain semi point is wonderfully accurate in my gun. Anything below 63 grains down to 45 grains is awful.
When doing load development I started with two different manufacturers good quality 55 grain bullets and had convinced myself the gun was a POS. No matter what powder or primer or seating depth I used my groups were never better than 3" at 100 yards. Just for something different I tried a Nosler 40 grain Ballistic Tip that I use in my 221 Fireball and I had a one-holer. No matter what powder or primer combination I used with that bullet it was super accurate.
That got me to try different bullets and the 63 grain Sierra was right at the top of the heap. So my go-to loads are with a 40 grain and 63 grain bullet.

It is very odd how similar barrels prefer different weight-length bullets.
I have a Savage 12 FV .223 Rem. 26" 1in9" twist, it shoots the Sierra 69gr Match Kings into small grouping when loaded with RE 15, it will also shoot the Barnes 50 gr Varmint Grenade sub MOA when stuffed with RE10, thats almost 20 grs difference but, when you hold the bullets side by side the 50 Varmint and the 69 SMK are darn near the same length.
With your Kimber being a semi custom do you think the chamber specs are tighter and you may need to neck turn your brass to get a good bullet release on even the lighter bullets?
Hondo 60
June 16, 2010, 06:54 PM
My 20" 1 in 9 does very well with 55 & 60 gr bullets.
I haven't tried other weights. According to the rifle mfg a 1 in 9 should do well with up to 69 gr.
June 16, 2010, 07:49 PM
dagger dog - my gun does have a tight chamber. I've measured the differences between FL sized brass and fired brass to be less than .002" forward shoulder movement. Neck sizing for this gun is not the way to go. I'm not complaining, I like the tight chamber and the FL sizing is not a big deal to me, especially when all the shots make one ragged hole in the target. BL-C(2) works really well with 40 grain bullets and either Varget or H4895 work well with the 63 grain bullets. I had pretty good results with Reloader 10X too. The one powder I did not have good results with is Win 748.
I have yet to try the 69 grain Sierras but have never heard a complaint from anyone about how well it shoots in guns with a 1:9 or faster twist.
June 16, 2010, 08:07 PM
I have the most cussed-at 1:9 barrel on the Planet, 20" long. It will stabilize bullets up to 75 grains, but the only ones it groups with are 52gr match bullets, and those it shoots iddy-biddy groups with.
June 16, 2010, 10:55 PM
Mine loves 60gr Nosler btips and 69gr Nosler otm bullets. It even shoot 75gr Hornady otm bullets okay.
June 17, 2010, 03:38 PM
I've shot 69gr SMK and 75gr Hornady BTHP with excellent accuracy in my 20in 1:9tw DPMS AR.
June 21, 2010, 01:57 PM
I have the same barrel and it shoots 69gr SMKs and 75gr Hornady BTHP well. The 75gr AMax doesn't shoot as well.
June 21, 2010, 02:33 PM
dagger dog...
How does your gun shoot with 55 gr bullets FMJ or HP ?
dagger dog
June 21, 2010, 04:55 PM
I've only shot 3 55gr'ers out of the Savage, VMAX, Nosler Ballistic Tip, and Midway Dogtown, and none were FMJ or HP .All were with neck sized cases, powders were Re15, H4198, H322.
All shot very well, some MOA @100 with all 3 ,the largest being 1 1/2" or there abouts and would probably shot a lot tighter with someone else doing the trigger work. H4198 worked the best with all and RE15 and H332 were a tie.
I your query is based on the 1 in 9 twist being to fast for the lighter shorter bullets, I have shot the tightest groupings with 40 gr Vmax and RE10, and for giggles I even shot some 35 gr Vmax and they didn't do to bad. So I really don't think you could over spin a FMJ or a HP if the hollow point was a match HP and not a thin jacket prairie dog bomb.

Sharks toast Beer effort
Click here for all the latest scores, match reports, news, videos and exclusive interviews during the Yorkshire Bank 40 campaign
Sussex moved into pole position to qualify for the Clydesdale Bank 40 semi-finals after leapfrogging Warwickshire at the top of Group C following a 17-run victory.
The third-placed Bears were dismissed for 182 in the final over replying to a modest 199 for nine to leave Sussex needing to beat Yorkshire and Kent to secure their place in the last four.
Warwickshire and Kent, however, can still go through if the leaders slip up.
Sussex's spinners were the key to victory; they bowled 21 overs between them on a slow pitch. Michael Yardy set the tone by conceding just 23 runs in his eight overs, before Will Beer took centre stage.
Having run out Will Porterfield, the leg-spinner starred after being brought into the attack by having Tim Ambrose caught behind and Jim Troughton stumped.
Beer completed his haul when he bowled Darren Maddy off an inside edge on his way to figures of 3-27.
Off-spinner Chris Nash had the dangerous Rikki Clarke caught at extra-cover and returned in the 38th over to end a threatening 52-run stand between Keith Barker and Steffan Piolet by bowling the former as he tried to clear the leg-side boundary.
That left Warwickshire needing 34 off the last three overs, and Nash secured victory in the last when he castled Chris Wright to finish with 3-27.
Earlier, Sussex had been indebted to Yardy, who made the only half-century of the match.
Wright took three wickets in nine balls - including that of namesake Luke for a golden duck - to reduce Sussex to 34 for three in the seventh over.
Yardy and Murray Goodwin then put on 62, only for the latter to play on to Jeetan Patel's quicker ball for 36; the New Zealand off-spinner also picked up Joe Gatting to finish with 2-29.
At 125 for six in the 27th over, Sussex were in trouble. But Kirk Wernars counter-attacked before Yardy chipped a catch to mid-on, having hit five fours in his 61.
Wernars finished unbeaten on 37 and a target of 200 proved beyond a Warwickshire side whose hopes of reaching the last four may have been fatally damaged by two defeats in the space of 48 hours.

Ha, I literally just had a Michelob Ultra Amber! Though Daily Plate says 114 calories and 4 grams of carbs. I think they're definitely passable, not my favorite, but the best light beer I've tasted. It's no oatmeal stout
I also had a super primal grass fed beef hamburger with tomato, grilled onion, sauteed mushrooms, and wrapped in big lettuce leaves. Oh and a nice big salad. Awesome 4th of July dinner

Die Kraft der Schwachen [The Strength of the Weak] ranks among the most interesting works of the older Anna Seghers. In 1947, the famous author had returned from her Mexican exile to East Berlin, with vigor and enthusiasm, to help build an anti-fascist, democratic, and socialist Germany. While writing this cycle, she experienced a crisis in her perceived mission. Originally intended for the ensemble were three additional narratives, held back by her, and only recently issued in the Anna Seghers Werkausgabe, II/5 (2007). Most notable among these is "Der gerechte Richter" ["The Righteous Judge"]. The author kept the manuscript in a file marked: "Important! Re-work!" First released by the Anna-Seghers-…

NICK SPEAKS Why Paris and I Split
Backstreet Boy Nick Carter opens up about fidelity, his busted romance and an untimely tattoo
After seven months together, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, 24, and The Simple Life's Paris Hilton, 23, called it quits on July 22. Paris preferred to have her rep confirm the split. Carter, however, briefed Scoop about the relationship's ups and downs.
HOW THEY MET: We met through her bodyguard, who was a friend of mine. He called me up and was like, "Hey, she wants to meet you."
WHAT LED TO THE BREAKUP: Our relationship totally was based on distrust. She didn't trust me. I didn't trust her.
WHAT HAPPENED JULY 22: We both got on the phone, had a discussion and agreed we couldn't do this anymore.
HILTON'S REP'S ASSERTION THAT THE HEIRESS BROKE IT OFF: Obviously, that's the way they're going to try to make it look. [The breakup] is mutual.
REPORTS THEY CHEATED ON EACH OTHER: The only comment I'm going to have to that is that I'm loyal to those who are loyal to me.
GETTING LINKED BY INK: We got tattoos together three weeks ago (Carter got "Paris" imprinted on his wrist. He won't divulge Hilton's tattoo).
REGRETS ABOUT TATTOOING: No, [I don't regret it] because I love her. She'll have a place in my heart, always.
GETTING OVER IT: I've got a lot of work to do. I just want everybody to know that I'm single and ready to have fun again. I'm a wild and crazy guy.
Ben Does Boston
He's denouncing Republican tax proposals in a cozy huddle with the Massachusetts delegates! He's playing the political pundit with Larry King on CNN! He's caucusing with Hillary Clinton! Considering the face time he received at the recent Democratic National Convention, you'd think Ben Affleck was the one running for office. The Democratic poster boy—a fixture throughout John Kerry's presidential campaign—made the most of the gathering in his hometown. "So nice to talk to you all, and not about movies or dating," he told reporters before scurrying off to a pool hall for a fund-raiser with retired general and former presidential candidate Wesley Clark. Then it was off to interview Sen. Ted Kennedy for an ABC segment. Will the 31-year-old actor make a run for office some day? "That's a nice idea, and I'm very flattered that you said it. But it's a tough life, you know. I think if the entertainment press is tough on me now, I can't imagine what it would be like if I had a political agenda."
The Web's Political Hit
This Land, an animated short created by brothers Gregg and Evan Spiridellis, spoofs George Bush and John Kerry equally. It's a hot ticket on the Internet at www.JibJab.com. "I thought it was funny," says Chris Heinz, Kerry's stepson. "Hysterically funny," says Terry Holt, Bush-Cheney campaign spokesman.
THIS JUST IN: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has set in motion a suit against the British tabloid News of the World for running a story in which model Lucy Clarkson, 22, claimed she had intimate relations with him. (The paper stands by its story.) Timberlake may be on a roll: In L.A. on July 27 he was granted a restraining order against a paparazzi whose aggressive pursuit, the singer alleged, could have caused him injury. (For more on Timberlake, see page 52.)
Roy's Recovery Report
On July 21, a calm and collected Roy Horn was wheeled out of a Las Vegas rehab center, where he spends up to eight hours a day, six days a week, building back the strength he lost after he was mauled by a tiger last October. Though Horn appears to be wearing a splint on his arm, his manager says, "He has no broken arm; he has had no procedure done." Horn, 59, sat last week for a series of interviews with NBC's Maria Shriver, set to air on the first anniversary of the attack.
Wake Up and Feel Like Britney
You too can sleep in Britney Spears's bed. At the Onyx Hotel in Boston, Spears's mother, Lynne, has designed a replica of the singer's bedroom in Kentwood, La. The suite, which runs from $259-$359 a night depending on the season (10 percent of the revenue goes to the Britney Spears Foundation, a charity), features country-style whitewash furniture, silver wallpaper and cream-colored carpeting. Guests can munch on Britney's favorite snacks—including Cheetos and Pop Tarts—while watching her movie Crossroads. Britney has yet to visit, but "she said it was exactly the way she pictured it," says Mark Fischer, general manager of the Onyx.
Peter Krause
Peter Krause is an emotional wreck. Or rather, he plays one on TV (Nate, a despondent funeral home owner in HBO's Six Feet Under). And in movies (Hank, a cheating husband in the upcoming We Don't Live Here Anymore). And now ... on Broadway, where he'll debut playing Quentin in a revival of Arthur Miller's After the Fall, assumed to be based on Miller's marriage to Marilyn Monroe. Krause, 38, spoke with Scoop.
Actually, you've been on Broadway before, have you not, Mr. Krause?
I sold candy bars, poured drinks...at Cats, Les Mis, Phantom.
Didn't you first audition for the role of David, the gay brother, on Six Feet Under?
True. But they were having a really difficult time finding someone to play Nate. When I read the script again, I realized there were great similarities between that character and myself.
And those similarities would be...?
He's someone who wanted to avoid suffering and responsibility at all costs because he experienced that growing up. Then life grabbed Nate by the proverbial tail and started to swing him right dab into a world of suffering and responsibility.
What draws you to these tortured roles?
I have always been curious about human behavior and why we do the things we do. I'm drawn to the material because it makes me think about my own life and hopefully makes other people think about theirs.
Why choose After the Fall for your Broadway debut?
It was a dragon I couldn't resist attempting to slay. I thought, I will regret this for the rest of my life if I don't attempt this.
Have you spoken with Arthur Miller?
At length, many times. He was in my dressing room last night for 45 minutes after the show.
Do you get stage fright?
I was very nervous the first show. I felt nauseous. Now it comes and goes.
Any theater superstitions?
I like to try and adhere to the same schedule. I like to lie down on my back and focus for about half an hour. Sort of visualize what I'm about to do.
Any other preparations?
Per my voice teacher Beverly Wideman at NYU, I always eat an apple before I go onstage. It's good for your throat.

If anyone follows Phoenix forward Paul Bissonnette (@BizNasty2point0) on twitter, you probably know he gets more than his fair share of trolls and hecklers.

Man Trolls Paul Bissonnette. Bissonnette Posts Man's Arrest Record.
Coyotes tough guy Paul Bissonnette is also a Twitter tough guy. His very active life on social media gives fans an extra incentive to be jackasses: If they talk s*** about him, they know he'll see it. Sometimes that's a bad thing.
Via The Nosebleeds, a Pittsburgh man named Matt Hogue decided to try and start something with Bissonnette. He sent dozens of tweets over the span of a few hours. The tweets are gone now, but they can be found via a Topsy search. Some examples:
Read the whole story for the links he posted. The heckler quickly learned the old metaphor "Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel".

Oil is everywhere, and for investors who may not own any energy stocks, the constant media coverage can be intriguing. In this video, Fool.com contributor Aimee Duffy tells the story of the Permian Basin, the biggest oil-producing play in Texas. Aimee discusses what issues face producers in the region, how they are being solved, who can profit, and why pipeline projects are important, even if you don't own pipeline stocks.
The surge in oil and natural gas production from the fracking movement is creating massive bottlenecks in takeaway capacity. However, this problem for producers creates an immensely profitable opportunity for midstream companies. Energy Transfer Partners is a company that helps alleviate the gluts in supply with its 23,500 miles of transformational pipelines. To see whether ETP and its sizable dividend payment could be a good fit for your portfolio, you're invited to check out The Motley Fool's premium research report on the company.

The process of researching colleges, understanding your choices, completing applications, and choosing the best school for you, can be really overwhelming. On Sunday, February 24th, 40 students from the Museum's Upward Bound Math & Science Program, ranging from 9th to 12th grade, had to chance to take some of those first steps with their friends, Upward Bound staff mentors, and even the Superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Alberto Carvalho. They attended the National College Fair at the DoubleTree Hilton Convention Center, sponsored by the National Association of College Admission Counseling and the School Board of Miami-Dade County.
The first person to greet them at the entrance was Superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools Alberto Carvalho and School Board Chair Perla Tabares-Hantman. The students introduced themselves, and Superintendent Carvalho asked them which high schools they represented and congratulated them on their accomplishments in the Upward Bound Program. Then the students had a lot of ground to cover at the Fair. Over 200 colleges from all over the country were present, and students were able to talk to lots of college/university representatives and receive all the admissions information they needed. Students also attended workshops on scholarships and financial aid, college admissions, college prep, SAT/ACT Exam information, and more.
Now there are some informed choices to be made!

Long considered a superior chapter, the OU SBA student chapter of Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) is now the recipient of the 2010 Ernst and Young Diversity Initiative Award. One of only ten chapters nationwide to receive this award, the professional accounting organization was recognized for its projects -- on campus and in the community -- which demonstrate how it embraces and supports diversity.
"It was a great honor to receive such an important award," says Mark Jasinski, BAP chapter president. "Our chapter is very diverse as we don't just tolerate diversity but embrace it. We thank Ernst and Young for recognizing our achievements in this category. The new BAP officers thank the past officers for building up BAP and creating this opportunity for us."
Ernst and Young sponsors and presents the award to encourage future business leaders to value the contribution of all people, and develop effective teaming which incorporates the diversity of thought generated from team members from different backgrounds and perspectives.
To be considered for the award, chapters had to submit a plan on how the chapter would impact overall diversity within the chapter, the SBA and the university, including defined objectives and desired outcomes in December, followed by a summary of the successful implementation and results six months later.
The SBA BAP's award was based on initiatives such as co-hosting professional meetings with the National Association of Black Accountants, pre-business, and majors from other business disciplines in its professional speaker outreach, organizing a food and clothing drive, preparing tax returns for low income families, and tutoring OU students in introductory accounting courses.
The award was presented at a national conference in San Jose this summer.
Beta Alpha Psi is an honorary organization for financial information students and professionals designed to encourage and recognize scholastic and professional excellence in the business information field. During the fall and winter terms, the SBA chapter of Beta Alpha Psi joins with other student organizations on campus to host weekly meetings where students can network, learn about different accounting firms and listen to representatives from the profession talk about topics relevant to the field.
"The organization will continue to support diversity in accounting through our promotion of it as a career to any and all who have a passion for it, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion or age," says Jasinski.
The chapter has a long-standing tradition of excellence at Oakland University.
"Students at Oakland petitioned to become a chapter of BAP 20 years ago and were granted full membership status 19 years ago," says Sandra Pelfrey, associate professor, accounting, and BAP faculty advisor. "Since then, we have earned superior status as a chapter in all but one year."
For more information on the chapter or the weekly meetings, see the Beta Alpha Psi Web site at http://w3.sba.oakland.edu/studorg/BAP/Site/Home.asp.

15 Ridiculously Bad Cakes Celebrating PregnancyDevan McGuinness
I love the idea of celebrating pregnancy and I am all for making a big deal out of the really exciting time to come. Parties celebrating the annoucnement of pregnancy, celebrating the pregnancy at a baby shower and even a meet-and-greet party after the baby is born are all great reasons to celebrate.
At the centre of a lot of these parties, other then the mama-to-be you will typically see a cake. I have seen some gorgeous cakes that make my jaw drop at their realistic and beautiful qualities. Then, you come across cakes that just have me shaking my head wondering what they were thinking.

SALT LAKE CITY - Utah's ski industry is getting an early-season intravenous shot. Ski-pass sales and lodging reservations are up as resorts reap the benefit of an improving economy. Even the weather is cooperating, with November building up snow equity on the slopes.
Utah boosters hope the Sochi Olympics whip up enthusiasm for skiing in the state that held the 2002 Winter Games.
Many of the 14 Utah resorts are stepping up offerings for season-pass holders, daily visitors and young learners. They're holding prices, offering special deals and notably, more multi-resort privileges. For vacationers who can't plan early-season purchases, Utah's Eagle Point ski area will offer $25 lift tickets to anyone on Thursdays and Sundays when it opens Dec. 19.
It's shaping up as a season of hope for Utah skiing after a pair of unimpressive snow years. By mid-November, Park City had booked 28 percent of the season for lodging at a pace a fifth faster than the year before, industry officials say.
The early bookings come as Park City Mountain Resorts prepares to celebrate its storied 50-year history with a season-long series of live music, fireworks and giveaways.
"The early-season snowfall helped calm fears," said Nathan Rafferty, president of the trade group Ski Utah. After a pair of lackluster winters, Utah was itching for a comeback and appears to be getting it, he said.
"We haven't seen this kind of sustained strength in the mountain lodging industry since pre-2008," said Ralf Garrison, director of Denver-based analysts DestiMetrics.
Resorts around Salt Lake City have modernized rapidly since the 2002 Olympics, and skiers can expect more improvements on the slope this winter. Fast lifts can now be found at most resorts, and Brighton Resort is opening a girls-only snowboard park.
Snowbird replaced its pokey two-seat Gad 2 with a high-speed quad, cutting ride time in half on a popular side of the mountain. Brian Head in southern Utah poured $3.5 million into base lodges and magic-carpet surface lifts. Other Utah resorts invested in snow-making, grooming fleets and dining options.
Another convenience is unfolding off the slopes. Salt Lake City's airport is now served by light-rail transit, which can connect vacationing skiers - with bus transfers - to Alta and Snowbird or Brighton and Solitude in the canyons east of Salt Lake City. Eventually, Utah wants to run light-rail directly to the four resorts.
A wild card for the ski industry, the legalization of marijuana in neighboring Colorado, has Utah resorts feeling queasy. Will it siphon off frat boy skiers to Colorado and send more families to Utah?
There's no sign either is happening, say Colorado and Utah resort officials who are trying to make it a non-issue, even as Rafferty concedes, "It is something everyone wants to talk about."
Rich Gomez, for one, said the pot dilemma "means nothing" for his skiing decisions. A 59-year-old businessman
from Trabuco Canyon, Calif., he prefers Utah's uncrowded slopes, deep powder and lift and lodging rates that are a bargain by Colorado or California standards.
"Look at the snow here - it's better," said Gomez, who was skiing with his grandchildren at Brighton Resort last week on a $49 lift ticket. "Utah is different. It's more laid-back. Colorado is nice, but it's tougher to get to and more expensive."
Gomez likes that he can choose among eight resorts within an hour's drive of the Salt Lake airport.
His son-in-law, Allen Basso of San Clemente, Calif., summed up a day at Brighton by declaring he found "not one line" at the bottom of a ski lift.
Others at Brighton doubted that dope-smoking skiers would avoid Utah to descend on Colorado. "We can do it on the sly here, but we're not admitting anything," joked Matt Burk, a 49-year-old medical respiratory therapist from Salt Lake City.
Anything that keeps Utah skiing low-profile is good, said Burke and his ski buddy, Torg Hickman, a 46-year-old nursing assistant. Both plan to take February off for skiing, burning a year's vacation time.
"This is the best place in the world," crowed Hickman, who has been skiing in Utah for 37 years.

Top 10 Scariest Features
We like heated seats and high-end stereos as much as the next car shopper, but some of today's automotive features provoke more fright than delight. Take GM's left-hand steering-column stalk: Until recently, this stalk housed the cruise controls in the form of a tiny, three-position switch plus a secondary button. The same stalk also managed high-beam headlights, windshield wipers and turn signals. Twist something the wrong way and the car could turn into a five-passenger R2-D2.
With things like that in mind, we chose 10 not-so-delightful features in today's cars, from chairs that perform pneumatic jujitsu on your back to owner's manuals that could qualify for a summer reading list.
10. Rain-Sensing Wipers
Rain-sensing windshield wipers have crept from high-end luxury cars to everyday models like the Toyota Avalon. They generally use infrared sensors to monitor a certain section of the windshield for moisture or dirt, then trigger the wipers to respond according to a threshold the driver sets. They usually work OK — until, invariably, they don't. When one editor's Volkswagen Jetta tester had its rain-sensing wipers suddenly spring to action one cloudless night, it was mildly frightening, to say the least.
9. Soda Can Cool Zone
Various automakers offer air-conditioned compartments to keep sodas and other sundries cool. Problem is, those cool zones get hot in the summer when the car is off; we had a couple sodas explode in a certain Dodge after a 90-degree weekend. A spokeswoman told us the car's so-called Chill Zone is not intended to be used as a refrigerator. All the same, we came away a bit steamed. And sticky.
8. Smart Transmission
The Smart ForTwo deserves its own category. The minicar's automated-manual transmission shifts gears with its own electronic clutch while the driver sees a traditional automatic setup. Drive the thing and you feel like you're on a bucking bronco. Once you're through first gear, the transmission stutters, shudders and very nearly takes a personal day before engaging second. The same thing happens on the way to third, and fourth, and fifth. Sorry, Smart, but this gearbox is anything but.
7. Power-Sliding Doors
Parents, rest assured the power-sliding doors on upscale minivans employ all sorts of electronic cutoffs to ensure they won't eat your Brownie troop. But we'll admit the prospect of power doors that can do their thing by remote 20 or 30 feet away can be a bit, um, dicey. They can also add hundreds of dollars to a car's out-the-door sticker. If you're feeling the pinch, go with manual sliders and open 'em yourself.
6. Multi-Manual Owner's Booklets
The thought of wading through an owner's manual to figure out how something works is daunting enough. Try wading through 10 of them or more; that's the number of pamphlets, manuals and quick-start guides included in some cars' libraries. With online directories only a click away, do you really need a state-by-state list of dealerships? Memo to carmakers: Just because it goes in the glove box doesn't mean it needs to be a box set.
5. Self-Parking Cars
Lexus' self-parking feature is optional on the LS sedan. Line up the superimposed square in the backup camera with your intended parking spot, gently let off the brakes and the LS will slowly steer around adjacent cars as it backs into the spot. You have to press the brakes to bring the car to a stop at the end. We didn't know Big Brother had a valet job, either.
4. iDrive
Even among the trio of similar dashboard interfaces from Audi and Mercedes, BMW's iDrive is utter knobsense. Directional inputs send you to various submenus, but in most models there are no shortcut or previous-screen buttons around the knob. In many models, street labels sit on a horizontal plane no matter the direction of the street, and if you need to scroll along the map you have to spin the knob to move east/west, then click it down and spin it again to move north/south. If you get the hang of it, you'll be ready for "Survivor" tryouts.
3. Voice Turn-by-Turn Navigation
Navigation systems have been barking out orders for years. With the exception of Land Rover's charming Brit, most of them employ a female American voice whose intonations range from casually disinterested to downright annoyed. Some systems try gamely to pronounce street names, but the result is usually anything but clear: You're cruising along, and she suddenly directs you to turn left on ... what was that? Ah, Fockner Ave.
2. Heart-Rate Monitor
You read correctly. Volvo's Personal Car Communicator monitors the cabin and pulses a light on your keyfob if your car has an unexpected visitor inside. TV ads show a woman approaching her S80 in a deserted parking garage, seeing the warning and hightailing it away. The thought of having this feature is scary in and of itself — not for fear of being carjacked, but because we wonder what sort of paranoia would drive you to want it.
1. Overly Aggressive Seats
Driver's seats run the gamut, from flat benches to the sort of hip-huggers you'd get in an F-15, and some of the more extravagant ones don't sit so well with us. The BMW 7 Series offers a massaging driver's seat, but its throbbing motions feel downright Frankensteinian compared to a real massage. In some of Mercedes-Benz's pricier models, active side bolsters automatically inflate to hold you in as you take a corner. They're convenient on highway offramps and winding roads, but 90-degree city turns can result in sudden rib pinching as the seats go hog-wild to keep up. Avoid large spicy meals beforehand — or wade through the Benz's onboard computer menus to turn the feature off.

With all due respect.....
First....William Hill has nothing to do with The Bellagio (or any MGM Resorts property).....
Second...If you think that Don Best is too expensive for you, then you are not at a level where "shopping" would make enough difference....Other than future bets, most books react to sharp betting a lot quicker than you could..Just watch the runners at most major books and you will see how quickly you need to move with changing lines information. The normal bettor just does not have the organization and level of information to react to nickel and dime changes at the books.
Why not just enjoy that we have sports betting in Nevada, find a few books that you enjoy betting at, and leave it at that.
don best is expensive, its like a couple thousand ,i shop numbers as well but dont wanna pay i prefer logging into offshore accounts watching lines, while sittin the hilton,or even tropicana where ur a 5 minute walk from mgm whos lines arent as sharp if u ask me

And there was, there was.
From the very beginning, in the Malbec Lounge at Espace Valentre, until the final meal, there was foie gras. And a plenitude of duck in various forms, but we'll focus on foie gras here.
At the Espace there was foie gras on toast points, foie gras on pancakes, foie gras on waffles, foie gras in cute little ice-cream cones, even foie gras in macarons. I'm not altogether sure the world is ready for foie gras in macarons. Two great things, mind you; but maybe not so good together? Likewise the saffron macarons. Colorful, but a little disconcerting finding those flavors joined with macarons.
Oh, wait...foie gras! Right, then.
So, after a few days of bright sunshine and black wine---it was eerily normal to see my compatriots standing in the sunshine grinning happily away at the scenery, the food, the wine, whatever, displaying black-stained mouths---we gathered for a final festive meal at a chateau-museum overlooking the green swathe of the valley of the Lot below us on a lovely Sunday afternoon.
The light poured in on the medieval stonework and the great hall of the chateau was thronged with happy attendees, many of whom were still babbling with excitement and wonder from their morning montgolfier, a hot air balloon trip over the valley and vineyards below.
There was a chatter of activity as people exchanged business cards and e-mails and website addresses and took the final photos for remembrance, so that people were taking photos of people taking photos of people taking photos.
Amidst all this hustle and hubbub, the owners and winemakers circulated around and deposited bottles of their wines at our tables, then joined the revelries themselves. It was pleasant to sit and sip and reflect, then to discuss the wines with the makers, a genial but devoted lot (get it? lot? in the Lot? oh, never mind) with the pride of ownership mixed with the desire to have more people enjoy what they spend so much time and effort creating.
Malbec, and most especially the Malbec of Cahors, is a food wine. That term is bandied about with great frequency these days, but with Malbec it is essential, for few people would consume Cahors as a recreational wine, and even fewer are the connoisseurs of wine alone who sit in their tiny conclaves and sniff and sip and parse and mutter over infinitely smaller details of arcane wine lore while invoking magical words that few others know or care about.
No, this Malbec of Cahors is truly a food wine. Often a sullen brute by itself, it can be tamed with food, coaxed out of its acidic isolation and convinced to reveal its inner self.
Apply a little foie gras with its velvety richness, its earthy elegance, and the Malbec responds. The excessive austerity relaxes a bit and the flavors emerge. Corny, I know, but it is much like a flower opening as the day begins to warm and the sun makes friendly overtures.
This is lunch, with some old and some new-found friends on a sunny day in Quercy, so I'm not in note taking mode or mood, but the magic of the iPhone lets me record the wines that pass through my glass.
The Chateau Haute-Borie. although young, was quite amenable to the charms of the foie gras and lentils, a classic but not classically bound Cahors, in that it was already showing its nature, which would only soften and lengthen in future, I think.
The Chateau les Rigalets was a delight with the food; built on a lighter frame, but from that remarkably good 2005 vintage that seems to be aging so well right now, it was more elegant, more violet-infused, and silkier in tone, and seemed to come alive with the foie gras.
The Chateau du Plat Faisant was much in the same mold: stubborn by itself, but yielding graciously to the food.
And this is the resounding, repetitive note of the entire sojourn in the Lot: that the great majority of Cahors wine, and the nature of Malbec itself as the primary grape, simply requires the patience of age and maturation; that the slow, unhurried unlocking of tannin-bound fruit cannot be hurried too much.
Unfortunately, patience seems a thing lacking today, so intervention is often required for those who are impatient---and mind you, "intervention" can be as much the philosophy of 'vin natur' as the technological wizardry or ampelographic intervention of agronomists and oenologists, for intervention is intervention.
One hopes, though, that some of the lonely majesty of the impenetrable Malbec, made accessable only by time, remains to us---and I believe it will, from what I have seen of the people of the Lot.
If that is so, I will remain both happy and hopeful for this region and these wines, for there is certainly room for the 'vin natur' and the delightful anphorae wines (yes!; decidedly yes!!) and the fresher, fruitier, more immediate wines as well, for each has its appeals and uses to a world of wine drinkers.

Ethiopian meeting to discuss volunteers' role in development
01 October 2005
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme in Ethiopia is organizing a two-day annual workshop in Bahirdar, the capital of the Amhara State, beginning 7 October 2005 on the theme "Volunteerism for Development", according to a press release issued by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), which administers UNV.
The workshop, organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and Development, is expected to bring together representatives from key stakeholders such as government ministries, regional bureaus, NGOs, educational institutes, UN agencies and civil society organizations.
They will discuss the importance of volunteerism and the role of volunteer actions in relation to the national development priorities, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The meeting will also strengthen partnerships between the government, NGOs, the private sector, academia, donors and UN agencies.
The workshop is part of the regular dialogue and follow-up where all the serving UN Volunteers and their host institutions come together to share experiences and common understanding about the UNV programme.
Established in 1971, UNV is the UN organization that supports the attainment of the MDGs through promotion of volunteerism, including mobilization of volunteers. To this end, UNV provides the opportunity each year for more than 7,000 women and men - 75 per cent coming from developing countries - to support peace, relief and development initiatives in some 140 countries.

In biomedical image processing, texture analysis is used in several applications from tracking structural changes of a tissue to segmentation of anatomical structures.The core of texture analysis is the extraction of texture features. Among several approaches that have been studied in the literature, a transform based method is chosen for texture feature extraction in this thesis. The transform that has been used is the dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) which is a recent wavelet method that has proved to give better results for texture analysis applications compared to previously suggested signal processing methods. The goal of this work is to introduce DT-CWT based texture analysis methods for biomedical images. These methods can be used both for 2-D and 3-D processing of biomedical images for several applications. This thesis explains three of them which are classification of tissues, segmentation of anatomical structures and estimation of volume texture orientations.

Maybe for an average person convicted of the kind of assault that Thomas J. Thompson committed, eight months at a halfway house would be sufficient.
But Thompson is not that average person; he is, unaccountably, an Erie County sheriff's deputy who, as a guard at the Erie County Holding Center, orchestrated a group assault on an inmate.
Somehow, U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder thought eight months in a halfway house would send a message to other guards about the need to perform their jobs honorably. Most do, but for those inclined to abuse inmates, Schroeder's sentence of this rogue deputy is a message that it's not all that serious. Do it or don't, but if you get caught, you might have to go to the halfway house.
That penalty is not enough, and it is up to Sheriff Timothy B. Howard to act and fire Thompson. The county simply cannot afford to have on its payroll a jail guard who thinks he is within his rights to assault inmates at will.
That was what happened in this case: Thompson said he was looking for drugs in the jail and that Stephen Heilmann, an inmate, lied to guards about it. He and other deputies then went to Heilmann's cell and told him that because he lied, he had to choose which deputy would punch him in the gut. The assault was carried out.
It was, as the judge said, "a violation of an oath. The meaning of that oath is being lost on people. That's the seriousness of the crime here."
He is absolutely correct, but a few months in a halfway house, a penalty that allows Thompson to keep his job as a jail guard, in no way reflects that seriousness. Prosecutors had sought a sentence of a year in prison, which would have cost Thompson his job.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross said, "With great power comes great responsibility. Mr. Thompson had that power."
The judge said he took into account Thompson's economic and family circumstances, which defense lawyer James W. Grable Jr. played like a violin. "A loss of employment due to his absence from work would be disastrous," he said. "This is something he will have to live with forever – that stain on his record."
But that's straight out of Lawyering 101. The answer to that dodge is that Thompson is asking the court – meaning the public that the court represents – to care more about his circumstances than he did. Why should that matter to the judge when Thompson treated the matter so casually, himself?
The sheriff previously fired Thompson over this issue, but a state judge ordered him to be reinstated at a lower rank. All of that happened before Thompson pleaded guilty to the crime, drawing his sojourn to the halfway house. Now Howard needs to act again not just to protect other inmates from this kind of outrageous behavior, but to protect the reputation of his jail and its other employees, as well as the county and its taxpayers from the costs that rogue deputies can easily run up.
There are reasons for rules and some of them allow for no deviation. This is one of them. Howard needs to get Thompson out of there.

New video has surfaced in the case of missing 8-year old Relisha Rudd.
The Metropolitan Police Department seeks the public's help identifying a person of interest seen in the video.
The police department released video footage Friday of the man stepping off the bottom of an escalator. Police say they believe the man may have information in Relisha's case and that they are only seeking to speak with him.
Police said they were unable to share the location where the video was captured as it might negatively impact the investigation; however, the shape and color of the tiles on the floor in the video look like those used at Metro stations.
Rudd was last seen on March 1. The man thought to have kidnapped her, Khalil Tatum, was found dead earlier this week.
Anyone with information about this new person of interest should call police at 202-727-9099.

The U.S. power grid might be vulnerable to widespread sabotage.
The New Jersey Regional Operations Intelligence Center raised concerns after recent incidents including sabotage or its potential at power plants and towers around the country, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
"Many of the grid's important components sit out in the open, often in remote locations, protected by little more than cameras and chain-link fences," the ROIC report stated.
The concern is that many of the incidents could be a sign of preparation for a larger, coordinated attack on the power grid, The Beacon reported.
Officials and experts have consistently warned terrorist or others could target the electrical grid to damage the country's infrastructure.
FBI investigators still have no suspects or motive in the ongoing investigation into last April's sniper attack on a power grid station in California. The military-style raid knocked out 17 transformers at a Pacific Gas & Electric Power substation, which feeds power to Silicon Valley.

Team KeRO get's after it.
Most people have heard of the Pareto Principle without knowing exactly what it is. The concept was named after an Italian economist who noted that 20% of the population in Italy owned 80% of the land. It's been applied in many areas but today we're going to use it to talk about nutrition. I often get asked what percent of weight loss is nutrition versus exercise. Today I had an athlete tell me he's lost 120lbs (on a medium frame) eating Paleo before he ever came to train at WCF. A good friend of mine is now over the 100lb mark for weight loss after nearly a year of Paleo. While my passion is performance most people's first step towards fitness is first to lose fat and second to worry about their Fran time, one rep maxes, and snatch and clean & jerk. 80% of your weight loss progress is going to be nutrition. 20% will you working your butt off. Simply stated: You can't outtrain a bad diet. So if you're doing the challenge stay the course. You'll see more progress in 5 weeks of strict Paleo than you will in 5 months of eating like crap.
Getting bored or need some Paleo Resources? Post your favorite Paleo blogs to comments. I like FastPaleo.com, what's your favorite?

Gun control advocates in New Jersey are criticizing Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen for voting against a measure to close the so-called "terror gap."
Frelinghuysen joined 26 other Republicans and two Democrats Wednesday in successfully voting against an amendment to a criminal justice funding bill that would let the Justice Department bar people on the FBI's terrorism watch list from purchasing guns. Frelinghuysen is the only New Jersey representative on the committee.
The congressman, in a statement from his office, called the watch lists "a mess" and said the amendment, sponsored by Rep. Nita Lowey, didn't make sense at least so long as that's the case.
Americans United for Change referred to the vote "a sad display in the U.S. House Appropriations Committee."
It called the closing the terror gap "the mother of all common-sense ideas: that we should treat terrorists just like we treat violent criminals, domestic abusers, and the dangerously mentally ill by banning those on the terrorist watch list from legally purchasing a gun in the United States."
It titled its statement on the matter "Country First? U.S. Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen Seriously Just Voted To Protect Terrorists' Access to Guns. Frelinghuysen's Fealty to the Big Gun Manufactures Hits Disturbing New Low." It used alternate versions of that title for statements about other legislators who voted against the amendment.
"First of all, anyone who thinks that terrorists will actually purchase their weapons through legal means is not living in the real world," Frelinghuysen said in the statement from his office. "Secondly, the terrorist watch lists are currently a mess — so filled with errors that they include thousands of innocent Americans and once contained the names of Sen. Ted Kennedy and Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela.
"When the federal government gets around to cleaning-up their lists, I am sure we'll take another look at the Lowey amendment. But until then, this effort will continue to have bipartisan opposition."
Gun rights proponents have long argued keeping people on the lists from purchasing guns would mean barring people with no confirmed criminal backgrounds from exercising their rights under the Second Amendment — and doing so entirely at the Justice Department's discretion.
"The problem I have is that the watch list ... has so many problems with it that I don't think it's appropriate for us to go down the road we're going," Sen. Lindsey Graham said in 2010 about a similar proposal championed by the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., Gannett reported at the time.
The Star-Ledger reported last year that an 18-month-old child was barred from a Newark-bound flight when her name appeared on a no-fly list. After officials investigated further, they cleared the toddler and her parents for flight.
Mayors Against Illegal Guns — a national coalition that includes 112 New Jersey Mayors — including some Republicans from Frelinghuysen's 11th District, cites a Government Accountability Office report that says people on watch lists tried to buy guns and explosives 1,453 times between February 2004 and December 2010.
"On 1,321 occasions – 91 percent of such attempts – the FBI was unable to block gun and explosive sales to suspected terrorists," the group says in its own statement on the "terror gap."
But a column today on Examiner.com questions gun control advocates' use of the GAO figures.
"Simply ask, 'Of those 1,321 successful gun or explosive sales to 'suspected terrorists,' how many of the purchases have been used in acts of terrorism — or even simple violent crime, for that matter?' If the answer is not stony silence, you will most likely find that (amendment sponsor Rep. Nita) Lowey and her ideological allies cannot point to one successful exploitation of the 'terror gap loophole,'"
Gun control advocates have set their sights on Frelinghuysen before, hoping he'll support measures for stricter regulation. In February, two groups sent him letters and petitions asking him to support universal background checks and other weapons restrictions.
"I have been pleased to receive petitions from groups that seek a range of new gun control measures and groups and individuals who believe additional laws are unnecessary or unwise," the Congressman said in another statement provided by his office at the time. "The president has put forward a broad agenda which has prompted a wide-ranging discussion. Diminishing violence is a goal everyone can support and I look forward to participating in the debate when specific proposals come before the House."
That same month, Frelinghuysen suggested support for at least some regulation, according to a story in the New Jersey Jewish News. The publication reported:
"I've always supported control," and background checks on anyone buying a gun are "a no brainer," said Frelinghuysen. "I know we don't need automatic weapons, but the question may boil down to what is an automatic weapon."

With the Knicks trailing the Nuggets by 26 points early in the third quarter, Anthony left the game with what the team is calling a "sore right knee."
That's the same injury that cost Anthony three games last week and obviously continues to bother him now. He finished with nine points on 3-of-12 shooting in 22 minutes. The Knicks were outscored by 18 points while he was on the floor.
Making matters worse, Anthony was the second Knicks All-Star to exit. Tyson Chandler left the game in the second quarter with what the Knicks called a "left knee contusion."
