From Jefferson County:
Jefferson County needs a fire board like Berkeley County because the JCESA and the commissioners are ripping the volunteer departments off by keeping their money, not distributing it when it should be, collecting interest off it and not abiding by the contract.
From Bunker Hill:
You know the dumbest, stupidest man in the country could be a lot better than Obama. We have 70-some days left. It has been a disgrace, what he has done.
From Inwood:
To the childless Martinsburg taxpayer: Are you bellyaching about your taxes being spent on Medicaid and welfare recipients as well? By that standard, should those recipients have to pay extra taxes when a large majority of them aren't even employed or because their jobs don't offer health insurance? How does that work? Let's just all only pay taxes on what we use. Nice try, but no cigar.
From Inwood:
To the two lovely young ladies who stopped on the W.Va. 9 bypass on Sunday by the Bardane exit to help this woman when her car broke down: Thank you so much for taking time for me and letting me use your phone to call for help. Your kindness and caring spirit is much appreciated! Thank you again.
From Charles Town:
Concerning the Homeland Security's ammunition purchase: You better believe they are, and it has nothing to do with protecting officers from social security fraud. That doesn't even make sense. The clueless out there really need to pay attention to what's going on in our country. I really liked what the caller said about the knock on the door in the night as in Hitler's Germany during the 1930s. You people out there better wake up, because it's all going to go away.
From Bunker Hill:
I would like to know how Manny Arvon has the nerve to say that the first day of school was a success, that the transportation went off without a hitch when I know of five buses that were extremely late. My daughter's bus was 35 minutes late and my other daughter's bus was an hour late. I would like to know what his response would be to that.
From Kearneysville:
I enjoyed reading the feedback regarding my female (I'm not a gentleman) perspective of yard sales. I'm happy that you enjoy making additional money to keep food on the table, purchase medicine and to pay taxes, but that's my exact point. If you can make that much money selling your items, then there is a small business in my view. Patience is not my issue, irresponsible drivers and an overabundance of yard sales are. I'm not basing my opinion on where I come from; I'm basing it off our public resources and additional revenue for our counties. By the way, I work full time, attend school and pay my fair share of personal, property, state and local and federal taxes.
From Charles Town:
To the lady from Kearneysville: Don't be so quick to criticize the yard sales. Some kids need clothes, and that's the only way the mom has of getting the clothes.
From Charles Town:
To the person in Huntfield who keeps complaining: She must be the person who got defeated in the election, because all she wants to do is complain about the mayor and the councilmen in Charles Town.
From Pikeside:
As a Marine Vietnam veteran, I would ask that my brothers in Afghanistan kill 'em all and let God sort them out. If they're not on our side, if you even think, don't take a chance. Shoot em and worry about it later.
From Berkeley County:
I'm interested in locating a weeping willow tree suitable for pictures, including in wedding vows. Thank you.
From Rippon:
I talked to God last night after seeing the message about the bumper sticker and yes, He confirmed He will vote Republican. The other side is screwed up pretty bad.
From Inwood:
Hey, Gerrardstown! Nobody cares if your water and air is polluted by the quarry mine. Didn't you know, West Virginia eagerly allows out-of-state companies to ruin and run.
Web Exclusives
From Gerrardstown:
Ladies and gentleman, the story will be true. The names have not been changed because there is no innocent. This is the city of Washington, D.C. Obama is in charge, spinning us out of control. Freedom is gone. Guns are scarce and God also. Everything is just completely out of control. No longer are we free American citizens. ... Please vote for GOP. This is our last chance, America, to stand up and fight back. Stay free, vote GOP. God bless America.
From Martinsburg:
Several times Newsweek has had Obama on the cover as the "Democrat Prima Donna." He made the cover again this week and the caption reads, "Hit the road Barack" and the article inside says, "Why We Need this President Out." This is a lot of people's feelings, so it might be a good article to read.
From La Crosse, Va.:
Very important! Trying to locate my two sisters Judy Chloe Jack and Anna May Jack Hayward. Please call Joan Williamson at 434-636-2461 or write to 578 Tessman Road, La Crosse, VA 23950.
From Martinsburg:
I'm looking for a group to scrap book and also makes cards with. If anyone knows of a group, could they please call and let me know or if they are interested in starting one they can call me. My name is Cindy and my phone number is 304-262-6383.
From Airport Road:
Thank you, Eric Householder, for stopping by the road when my truck broke down on Tuesday down in Pikeside. You were a mighty big help. You came back to help me. Thanks a lot! From Ben Vorce, of Snooks Lane.
From Charles Town:
With our county's education in a declining state, I believe our parents are now needed more than ever for teaching their children the basics of life. Sadly enough, I see there are still some here who don't think children need a good education. Well let me just say, without education, you cannot make wise choices in life, and many of them demonstrate that on a daily basis. And when it comes time for you to need some family members to help out, they won't be there for you. Prepare our children for the future.
From Martinsburg:
I'm growing sick and tired of the people who live in Foxcroft housing development right by Rosemont school. I live right down the street and the people who live in that development run those stop signs all the time multiple times a day. They have almost hit me many times just to look at me stupid like I did something wrong. There are two stop signs there that lead into the development and out of the development. The opposite side of the road has no stop signs. These people have no regard for the stop signs or the people that live on Stephen Street.
From Martinsburg:
In response to the person complaining about yard sales: I hope all Texans aren't like you. My husband and grandson have spent weekend afternoons going together since my grandson was old enough to know what a yard sale was. They value that time together, doing "old-fashioned bartering" until his little legs wear out or until my grandson, as he calls it, "hits the jackpot" and buys with his earned money something that no one else wants anymore or someone's child has gotten to old to want to play with. It warms your heart to see someone else get as tickled with that item as their child did.
From Hedgesville:
A felony terrorist charge for jogging with a toy gun? Berkeley County prosecutor overreacts again. How about charging the guy with disturbing the peace and take way with toys? Oh, and a stern talking to.
From Hedgesville:
Thanks to the state road department for the quick response I get from them when I call them to pick up trash that some trashy person dumps out along the road. Once again, thank you!
From Martinsburg:
A man is arrested for basically carrying a training (read toy) gun and playing dress up? Give me a break. I can understand the reasoning and urgency for subduing, cuffing and questioning, even holding him for observation and psych exam, but to arrest him? I don't blame the police, they were brave for subduing Mr. Alemar. ... But once more information was obtained he should have been released.
From Martinsburg:
In the story about Mr. Alemar's arrest, I'd like to know whom the person was that decided to label a toy that can be bought at most department stores such as Walmart as a "training gun." I am familiar with some of the nonlethal guns used for training by some police departments and military units to prevent accidental discharges/injuries a budget savings, but I have never heard of training with toys since broom sticks were used for airplane gunners during WWII.
From Martinsburg:
I was appalled when I read the complaint about wasting time on youth soccer and bringing minimum-wage jobs and fixing the sidewalks instead. You have got to be kidding; our government needs to put more time into activities for our youth and jobs for our youth and jobs for our community. Without our children having activities they would be more attracted to the crime and drug scene. As for the jobs, I believe our government needs to spend more time on providing and assisting us with jobs whether it is a minimum-wage job or not.
From Harpers Ferry:
The telephone number we have had for four years is also listed in the yellow pages under a business. I have called all the phone companies and Yellow Pages concerned. They all point the finger at each other. I tried calling the FCC also. Can someone please help!
From Bunker Hill:
Regarding the trash burning in Elizabeth Station: It's always late at night when the burning is going on. DNR has been called and it came out but nothing was done. I don't care that people burn branches or lawn clippings, but household trash is disgusting. Maybe complaining to the HOA will help.
From Charles Town:
I don't mind paying taxes for schools. However, I do have a problem with parents who "live" off the system, and their kids get all the "free" stuff. We are educators in our family, and while the kid(s) are getting free lunches and then some, Mom and Dad are crawling back up into their brand, new SUV. Sorry, it's wrong!
From Martinsburg:
Since the Martinsburg caller feels those with kids should pay a little more for education, I was wondering where we could send his bill? After all, your parents did not pay extra for you when you were in school, which by your logic means you owe back taxes, plus penalties, plus interest. Pay up.
From Kearneysville:
I'd like to know what happened to the movie theater Ranson was supposed to get. And what about the steakhouse restaurant that was supposed to come as well? Does anybody really know what's going on with this crazy situation? And speaking of which, are they going to build that coffee house in Kearneysville anytime soon?
From Charles Town:
Anyone who's shopped real estate knows ugly doesn't sell. Property values soar when boasting scenic, unspoiled views of mountain or body of water; they plummet when offering nought but a barren litterscape. This is why I am dismayed to see so much litter along the roadways of Jefferson County where I reside, some thrown from passing cars, some perhaps blown from overfilled trash or recyclable bins. It's not just unsightly, it degrades property values.
From Hedgesville:
To the person who thinks we shouldn't complain about paying school tax: I don't and never have had children in the school system. I still pay $158 a month in taxes to the schools.This is on top of the taxes that are used for people that don't know what birth control is all about. The bottom line is I shouldn't be responsible for other people's kids.
From Baker Heights:
Rep. Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin co-sponsored a bill to redefine rape with VP candidate Paul Ryan. Hmmmmm ... but now that we know his opinion the national GOP wants him to drop out of his race overruling the will of Missouri Republicans. Odd that they don't want Paul "I-Agrees-with-Legitimate-Rape" Ryan to. Could they care less about women's safety; only grasping for power?
From Ranson:
I would really appreciate my neighbors mowing their grass, cleaning up their yards and removing the junk (dead cars, couches, trash) from around their homes. The rest of us are quite tired of looking at it. Please?
From Berkeley County:
I hope all the school buses are in proper working order. I saw one today at about 3:45 p.m. that the yellow lights were flashing as children were leaving in the rain. No red stop sign or red lights - hope this is a oversight on the driver's part. They are our future.
From Bunker Hill:
So it's wrong to be out near a school jogging in camouflage clothing, but at the same time school custodians are allowed to report to work wearing the same type of clothing?

Last night I had a dream that back in the 08 finals Hossa actually scored on the last second shot and the Penguins won game 6 in overtime. Then game 7 the Penguins won 5-0 and Ozzy was pulled. The dream was so realistic at first I was like I cannot believe the Wings lost back to back finals!
Imagine that was true though, how much would that have sucked!! Thankfully it was just a dream

Zbynek Michalek of the Pittsburgh Penguins was in a peculiar position on Monday: Arguing that his hit on Matt Hendricks of the Washington Capitals didn't warrant anything more than the elbowing minor it received on Sunday afternoon, while waiting to hear if the hit Alex Ovechkin put on Michalek would received its own punishment.
The first skate to drop was for Michalek: The NHL Department of Player declared that there would be no fine or suspension for this hit to the head of Hendricks (via @cjzero)
One would have thought at least a fine would be handed down, but most likely no one gives a shit about Matt Hendricks .
Matt Hendricks sucks.

Simply the best
Men of accomplishment
More donations
More donations….At today's Senate Blue Ribbon hearing on Binay's colorful life, whistleblower Ernesto Mercado upped the ante by donating to the government a 4 hectare property inside the Binay Hacienda, a property that Binay titled in Mercado's name when they were still friends. And to top it off, Mercado revealed that Binay owned several condos under the name of his associates. One condo was titled in the name of a certain Eng, Ariel Olivar.
At Jennifer Laude's wake
It's nice that Binay condoled with Jennifer's family. It's even nicer that there was a reporter/photographer from the Philippine Daily Inquirer to record the event.
Creating a martyr
Look at the placards of Gabriela. "Justice for Jennifer Laude. Junk VFA" Other mini-rallies in front of the US Embassy and at the UP campus had similar placards.
Justice for Jennifer Laude that is what one would call for if one truly cared about justice for Jennifer Laude. But when one adds "Junk VFA" written in bold red letters seemingly larger than the font used in "Justice for Jennifer Laude" then the tragedy that befell Jennifer is reduced to being a means to an end. Her coffin becomes a political soapbox.
The same thing happened when a UP student committed suicide. There was very little discussion on understanding suicide because know-it-alls already knew what drove her to kill herself – it was the unequal distribution of wealth, it was anti-poor policies, and on and on and on. Coffins as political soapboxes.
Let's respect the dead. Let's call for justice for Jennifer Laude. Let's not victimize the victim by using her dead body as a vehicle to advance a political agenda. Please naman Gabirela and company, do not desecrate the dead.
NOTE: Iba ito sa let's say the funeral of Ninoy Aquino. Ninoy was seen as a martyr, spontaneously and by millions. Etong ginagawa ng Kaliwa is creating a martyr. Big difference.
House Bill 4477
House Bill No 4477 will legalize marijuana for medical purposes. In other words, it will be legal for sick people to enjoy the benfits of marijuana.
My question is: What about healthy people, why can't they also enjoy the benefits of marijuana?
Just asking.
Statement of President Aquino on the passing of Dolphy
Following is the statement of President Benigno Aquino III on the passing of Rodolfo "Dolphy" Quizon Sr. on July 10, 2012:
Mabuting tao si Dolphy, at kinatawan niya ang karaniwang Pilipino: malalim magmahal, masayahin, may respeto sa kapwa, at handang harapin ang mga hamon ng tadhana. Nagmula siya sa isang henerasyong dumaan sa maraming pagsubok—at sa pakikipagsapalaran ay natutong maging mapagpakumbaba, matapat, at matulungin. Hindi kailanman niya tinalikuran ang mga kaibigan, at ang sambayanang naging bukal ng kanyang mga tagumpay.
Sa loob ng mahabang panahon, ipinakita sa atin ni Dolphy na anumang pagsubok ay may katuwang na pag-asa at ligaya; mulat siyang anumang problema ay mapangingibabawan ng positibong pagtanaw sa kapalaran. Binago niya hindi lamang ang kaniyang industriya, kundi maging ang pambansang kamalayan: sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang sining, pinalawak ni Dolphy ang ating pananaw, at binigyan tayo ng kakayahang suriin, pahalagahan, at hanapan ng ngiti ang mga pang-araw-araw na pangyayari sa buhay ng bawat Pilipino.
Nakikiisa ako at ang aking pamilya, sampu ng ating mga kasamahan sa gobyerno, sa pagluluksa ng Pamilya Quizon ngayong gabi. Ang pagpanaw ni Rodolfo Quizon Sr.—ang nag-iisang Hari ng Komedya—ay tiyak na nagdudulot ng lumbay sa isang bansang matagal niyang pinasaya.
[English translation]
Dolphy was a good man who embodied the common Filipino: he loved deeply, knew the value of humor, respected his fellowmen, and was always ready to face any challenge life threw at him. He came from a generation that went through a lot of trials—and the struggle taught him to be humble, honest, and helpful. He never turned his back on his peers; he never turned his back on the people who had propelled him toward success.
Throughout his life, Dolphy showed that hope and happiness always lie at the other side of adversity; he knew that any problem can be overcome through a positive outlook. He did not only revolutionize the entertainment industry; he also changed our national consciousness for the better: through his art, he extended our worldviews, and gave us the ability to reflect on, value, and find joy in the daily realities of Filipino life.
I, along with my family and the rest of our administration, join the Quizon family in mourning. The passing of Rodolfo Quizon Sr.—our King of Comedy—is a truly sorrowful moment for a nation that, for so long, found happiness in his work.

Dog Meat in Korea: A Socio-Legal Challenge
Rakhyun E. Kim
Griffith University - Griffith Law School
Animal Law Review, Vol. 14, No. 2, 2008
This article explores the dog meat debate in Korea from a socio-legal perspective. It first examines the legal status of dogs and dog meat, and the legal protection for dogs under the old and new legislative frameworks. It then discusses socio-legal challenges to banning dog meat in the Korean context, employing examples of both legal approaches taken by other countries and the politics of dog meat in Korea, specifically. The article argues that the controversy over dog meat must be reframed and dog meat be socially redefined in order to protect dogs, which are currently caught in the conflict over their socio-legal status as companion and livestock animals.

Magic Man
|Chapter 25
|Posted: January 27, 2012
|Over the course of my next couple visits, Legolas opened up to me more and told me about Minaethiel. She must have been very beautiful from the dreamy way he talked about her. I think it helped him somehow. He started to relax as his memories came forward instead of trying to hide his feelings and making it sound like nothing more than a story. I opened up more about Ethan and me. I realized that maybe I hadn't loved him like I thought I did. Legolas helped me to realize that a lot of decisions we made were inspired by Ethan and I was along for the ride. I never knew how much sway he had over me. Still, he had been a very important part of my life.
We were both still rather confused about the whole song incident. It was strange indeed, to say the least. I think we both chose to sweep it under the rug instead of dealing with it. But the more I thought about it, the more it bothered me. I decided to confront Legolas about it.
It was close to the end of September. The leaves were beginning to change. I knew that soon, Legolas would leave to go back home. He still hadn't found this 'key' he mentioned. I knew he wouldn't stay in the forest once the trees were bare. Then, I wouldn't see him until the late spring.
"Legolas," I said as we walked along a path of dried grass through the forest. "Don't you wonder about the song? I mean, it was something I thought I made up. Then you come along and say it belonged to someone before me. Don't you find that kind of odd?"
He walked along silently as if to search for the right answer. "I have thought about it often. I do not understand how you could possibly have known about it."
"Maybe I heard it in my dream where I also heard her name."
"Perhaps." was his short answer. Whatever he was thinking, he would not say.
I let it go at that and stayed quiet for a little ways. The other thing that bothered me was his leaving. "Legolas," I asked again.
"Yes mellon." he said in his own melodic language.
"Will you be leaving soon? I know you won't stay after the leaves have fallen."
"I'm afraid so. I hoped to have found the key by now. I hoped to have finally been able to bring it back home with me and never return to this world."
His last comment saddened me. I liked having Legolas around and I thought he liked it here too. I guess it was selfish of me to think he wouldn't miss his home and want everything to be resolved. Maybe this was the reason he never again asked me to reveal my name. It would be easier to part with each other.
We walked along a little further. Then I got a chill and wrapped my arm around his. He felt me shiver and looked down at me. "Are you cold?"
"A little." I said, lying. Actually, I had been cold for some time now. We had been outside for quite a while and the sun was on its way down. The air was cooling off quickly.
Legolas stopped walking and took me into his arms, rubbing my back. "Forgive me. I forget how susceptible your kind is to cold temperatures. Elves are much more tolerable." He continued to hold me and speak something in his native tongue. My body warmed instantly. I wasn't sure if it was from his spell or being so close to him. Whatever it was, it felt blissful and I didn't want it to end. I brought my arms around his waist and pulled him closer. He lowered his face to the top of my head. I felt his warm breath and held him tighter.
"This is nice." I said as I listened to his heart beat. "Say something in your language, a poem perhaps." I told him. He began speaking, every word seeming to be connected to the one before it. I closed my eyes and felt the rumble in his chest as his voice went on. I felt like my world was melting away. He was no longer an Elf, but a tree, like the one in my dream. I had heard the same low rumbling hum then as I did now. Legolas seemed to be connected with the earth somehow. He was in tune with everything around us and I could see, hear, feel and smell it all. It was like a sensory overload. The blend of all the sounds of the earth was like an orchestra when they are tuning their instruments. It sounds like chaotic nonsense. And then the conductor taps his wand and they all find that one note that allows them to connect and harmonize. Legolas' heart beating was like the tapping wand. Suddenly all the different sounds surrounding me came together to form one perfect note. I was at peace and in tune with Legolas' heartbeat.
I think Legolas sensed it too. He continued on in his language but now he was singing. His voice was beautiful and it drew me in. I dared to look up at him. His eyes were closed as he sang. He was hearing the harmony of the earth. When he was done, he looked down at me, eyes the color of the ocean. They had changed to a color I hadn't seen before. Light blue was happiness and stormy grey was desolation. But this was altogether something different, something very familiar.
I was trapped once again by his gaze. He held me there as he lowered his head to mine. I watched as his lips parted. We came together in a simple kiss. His lips were soft and smooth. His hair brushed against my face and felt like satin. My heart beat so loud I thought it might explode. I felt that same warming sensation I had felt when we first met. My body was responding and it felt so good.
Legolas broke the kiss and pulled away. We gazed into one another's eyes. I couldn't help but feel I had seen this look before. I fought against his will to keep me frozen. Some kind of internal struggle was taking place within my soul. Something wanted to come forward and claim Legolas as mine. I couldn't understand these feelings. They were like nothing I ever experienced before.
Legolas leaned into me. One hand cupped my face while the other brushed my hair behind my ear. I was paralyzed as his lips touched mine once again. He smelled like a summer breeze. The warmth of his body pressing against mine sent shivers to my very core. Whatever was hidden within me was trying to come to the surface. He seemed so familiar to me now. Our kiss of lips upon lips ended all too soon for my liking.
Once again I opened my eyes to gaze upon him. "I know you." I whispered, desperate to remember.
He pulled away from me as if realizing what we just experienced was something he'd been searching for. "I felt this also."
"What is happening to us Legolas? We are friends but now I find you… well… I… I…" My mind drew a blank.
"Hush. Do not speak but feel." he said leaning into me once again. This time when we kissed it was more passionate. He let go of his reserve and I gave into my want for him. His tongue searched for entrance and I abided. Never in all my life had a kiss ever felt so right.
His hands left my waist and traveled up my sides to come to rest at the curve of my breasts. I recalled the strength of those hands when I had first met him. Back then he resisted my touch but now he was a willing participant.
His kiss became more demanding and his hands traveled back to my waist. He lifted me slightly off the ground so that only my toes touched. It was as if I was floating on air and he was my cloud. My body began to react as I felt something deep within me stir. I realized I wanted Legolas. I didn't care that he was a godlike creature from another world. I needed to feel him, all of him. Visions of his naked body by the pond filled my head. I felt an invasion in my mind. I noticed his lips tighten as we kissed. Then he interrupted our make out session. "Did you like what you saw by the water's edge?" he whispered with a sultry voice.
My eyes shot open and I pulled away from him. "How did you know I was just think…"
He laughed slightly. "It is another trait of my people. When we care for someone, we feel their thoughts."
I thought about what he just said. "Are you saying you have feelings for me?"
"I might be saying such a thing, but first you must awaken from your dream." His voice was suddenly very distant.
"What are you talking about Legolas? I am not dreaming. I am with you in the forest and you are kissing me and I think that I could lose myself in your arms if you…"
"Awaken my fair one. You have slept so long you no longer remember. I have searched for you for so long. My heart breaks to know you do not know me. Please remember me. Remember me my love. Remember…" His voice slowly faded away.

•Jeepers Creepers 2 The first Jeepers was nothing special as horror films go, and this sequel is more of the same as an evil winged creature with rotting teeth returns to pursue fraidycat teen athletes and cheerleaders returning from a big game. (R)
•Once Upon a Time in the Midlands
Though it boasts a contemporary setting, a quirky, British domestic comedy derives its humor by lampooning classic Westerns. A small-time hood (Robert Carlyle)—who abandoned his wife (Shirley Henderson) years ago—returns to a working-class suburb to win her back from the milquetoast garage owner (Rhys Ifans) with whom she has been living. (R)
•Party Monster Seth Green, in a juicy comic turn as a spoiled, cross-dressing club kid, is the sole reason to see this misbegotten, drug-drenched drama depicting the true story of Michael Alig (Macaulay Culkin), a New York City party promoter who committed murder. (R)

Talk may be cheap, but when it comes to the arrival of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final in Los Angeles, the chatter actually is priceless.
The following are some verbal gems, not to be confused with filibusters. You get the voices of the chief protagonists. After that, The Maven comments.
And, as an added attraction, you'll hear from my Associate in Hockey Knowledge, Jake Becker, direct from New City, New York, which, actually, isn't that new anymore. (It is 216 years old, if you really want to know. And if you don't believe me, ask Sam Rosen.)
ALAIN VIGNEAULT: Our 'B' Game won't do it [Saturday night]. We're not going to beat [Los Angeles] if we do not bring our 'A' game.
[WATCH: AV on Rangers Bring Their Best in Game 2]
MAVEN'S TWO CENTS WORTH: One way to inspire the Rangers into their 'A' Game is to inform them -- as if they didn't know it already -- that everybody and his Uncle Dudley figures that the Cup is in the bag for L.A. But as Yogi Berra has indicated, "Nothing is in the bag until it's in the bag."
JAKE'S FILIBUSTER: Anyone evaluating the Rangers' opening stanza in Game 1 would no doubt give them the 'A' and throw in some gold stars. But to raise the silver chalice, AV's squad – led by Ryan McDonagh and the rallying Dan Girardi – has to be more careful with the puck in his own zone and be more brazen against Jonathan Quick.
CARL HAGELIN: Our team responds real well after losses. In the third [period] we had way too many turnovers, and we didn't get deep enough in their zone."
MAVEN'S TWO CENTS WORTH: Turnovers are for bakeries and assorted other pastry shops, not for Rangers exiting their own zone. Exhibit A (as in Against logic) was the Derek Stepan clearing attempt that didn't clear the New York zone. And we all know what happened after that. FOCUS is the key word in such situations. FOCUS is the antidote to turnovers.
JAKE'S FILIBUSTER: The Blueshirts haven't lost two straight games in these playoffs since their foray with the Penguins, and that had a Disney ending. As Darryl Sutter pointed out, "You don't get any award for being resilient." His Kings were certainly quick to recover when down 2-0 on Wednesday, but the Rangers have the rebound-ability knack.
DAN GIRARDI: You've got to have a short-term memory. It [his fall on the Kings' winning goal] was a tough play. There's nothing I can do about it right now.
MAVEN'S TWO CENTS WORTH: When it comes to plays such as Justin Williams' winning goal for Los Angeles, Dangerous Dan is right that it accomplishes nothing by sweating over it. Girardi can accomplish a lot by playing the playoff game of his life in the second contest of this intriguing series.
JAKE'S FILIBUSTER: Word is the Rangers had Girardi's back in the locker room following the opening loss, which is as it should be. You would expect nothing less from a team that has made it to the Final round.
ANZE KOPITAR: We've done it how many times? We came back and managed to win the game. But we can't put ourselves in a hole against a team like that where they keep coming and they have a lot of firepower that can hurt you pretty quick.
MAVEN'S TWO CENTS WORTH: I like the Slovenian's scouting report.
JAKE'S FAN FILIBUSTER: Firepower the Rangers do have, but that had better be evident from the sticks of Marty St. Louis, Chris Kreider and, of course, Rick Nash.
DREW DOUGHTY: When I get angry, I kind of turn it on.
MAVEN'S TWO CENTS WORTH: Pardon my edit, Drew, but I'm deleting two words -- kind of -- because, brother, when you do turn it on, LOOK OUT, MATILDA, THIS GUY IS TROUBLE. AND I DON'T MEAN MAYBE, EITHER.
JAKE'S FILIBUSTER: Doughty's Bruce Banner quickly metamorphosed into a spirited – though not green – Hulk. And what turned him on? An unpenalized thump from the butt-end of Kreider's stick. With a Nash goal here and a Kreider goal there, the Rangers can reduce Doughty's rage to frustration.
DUSTIN BROWN: [The Rangers'] best chances came off their speed. We need to find a way, much like we did against Chicago. Where we can limit them is through the neutral zone, forcing them to dump the puck in more.
MAVEN'S TWO CENTS WORTH: How can I argue with a kid from Ithaca, New York, where Commissioner Gary Bettman went to a school called Cornell. Dustin is right -- almost. But the Rangers' best chance will be if Henrik Lundqvist pitches a shutout.
JAKE'S FILIBUSTER: Minus the breakaways, the Rangers' chances in Game 1 were few and far between. Yes, their speed is their primary weapon, but without support from their brethren in blue, the Rangers won't be able to attack Quick on the rebounds.

Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees
Baltimore is trying to use this three game series to put a little space between themselves and the Yankees. New York is looking to move ahead of the Orioles, and closer to a wild card spot. No matter what happens, the rivalry between these teams is always heated and will make for some good baseball. The pitching battle seems to be in Baltimore's favor as the Yankees Phil Hughes is up in the rotation. He has not had a good season, and the Orioles will look to take advantage of him early.

Operator: Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Second Quarter 2011 Harris Earnings Conference Call. My name is Alisha and I'll be your operator for today. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct a question-and-answer session.
I would now like to turn the conference call over to your host for today, Ms. Pamela Padgett, Vice President, Investor Relations. Please proceed.
Pamela Padgett - VP, IR: Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to Harris's second quarter fiscal 2011 conference call. I am Pamela Padgett and on the call with me today is Howard Lance, Chairman, President and CEO and Gary McArthur, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Before we get start a few words about forward-looking statements. In the course of this teleconference, management may make forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve assumptions, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those statements. For more information and a discussion of such assumptions, risks and uncertainties please see the press release and filings made by Harris with the SEC.
In addition, in our press release and on this teleconference, we will discuss certain financial measures and information that are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measures is included in the tables of our press release, and on the Investor Relations section of our website, which is www.harris.com. A replay of this call will also be available on the Investor Relations section of our website.
With that, Howard, I'll turn it over to you.
Howard L. Lance - Chairman, President and CEO: Thank you, Pam and I want to welcome all of you to our second quarter fiscal 2011 earnings call. Harris' second quarter results were excellent, with contributions from all of our operating segments. RF Communications posted strong international growth. Government Communications Systems showed continued stability with better than industry average margins and we saw a good improvement in Broadcast Communications results.
I am pleased to report that the previously announced Schlumberger Global Connectivity Services acquisition is still expected to close in our third fiscal quarter. GCS adds scale to our global managed satellite communication services business, expands our global footprint and further diversifies the Company into faster-growing markets. When combined with the previously acquired, CapRock Communications business, this merger will create exciting new channels to provide Harris assured communication solutions to both government and commercial customers alike.
Our consolidated revenue in the second quarter was $1.44 billion. That was 18% higher than the prior year. On an organic basis when we adjust for the impact of acquisitions, revenue increased by a strong 9%. Non-GAAP income, which excludes acquisition-related costs, was $155 million in the second quarter or $1.20 per diluted share. That was an increase of 12% compared with the prior year quarter.
Non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and also excluding acquisition-related costs, was $296 million in the quarter an 11% increase compared to the prior year.

In Tuesday's Florida GOP race, John McCain packed in most of the votes.
After a week of hurling accusations at each other, John McCain beat out Mitt Romney in the final round at the polls. McCain's victory in Florida makes him the front runner for the Republicans. He has more delegates and more momentum than any other candidate going into next week's "Super Tuesday."
As McCain gains new life in the race, former frontrunner Rudy Giuliani looks poised to bow out of contention.
McCain Left Standing
McCain now considers himself the man whom can bring Republican voters together to topple the top Democratic contender, come November.
"It shows one thing - I'm the conservative leader who can unite the party," McCain stated after receiving news of his early victory. "It's a very significant boost, but I think we've got a tough week ahead and a lot of states to come."
McCain's victory scored him 57 national convention delegates, putting the Arizona senator into the overall lead among other GOP presidential contenders.
Take a look at who Florida Republicans are supporting at the primary polls: Latest Numbers at the Florida Polls
The above numbers include 6,900 of 6,913 precincts (99 percent). McCain won all 57 delegates. Second Place Not Good Enough
Even though Romney didn't see any light in the Sunshine State, his hopes were not darkened.
"At a time like this, America needs a president in the White House who actually had a job in the real economy," the former businessman said before promising not to bow out of the race.
A Technical Knockout?
It seems that Rudy Giuliani may have suffered the biggest blow of all in Florida.
However, he did all he could to tiptoe around officially throwing in the towel.
"We'll stay involved and together we'll make sure that we'll do everything we can to hand our nation off to the next generation better than it was before," the disappointed leader-turned-underdog declared.
Huckabee said he would shake off the blow and revive his efforts beyond Florida's borders.
Demographic Factors
If you're a Republican in the Sunshine State and you're planning to have a say about whom you'll see delivering the next State of the Union address, there's a 33 percent chance you're 65 or older.
Nearly half of GOP supporters in Florida believe the economy to be the key issue in the race.
Less than 20 percent of Florida Republicans deemed terrorism, the Iraq war or immigration the number one issue.
Is race a determining factor at the polls? Let's take a look.
About 80 percent of Republicans voting in Florida are white, nearly 10 percent are Hispanic and a nominal percentage are black.
Votes in the Bank
After heavy campaigning, each GOP candidate in the Florida primary looked to fill his pockets with votes.
McCain, the prizewinner in the contest, added 57 GOP delegates to his account. There were no consolation prizes for the losers.
So far, here's what the contenders have deposited in their delegates' bank.
John McCain now has 93, Romney posts 59, Huckabee boasts 40 and Giuliani registers a modest 1.
On the blue side, Hillary Clinton scored a decisive victory over Obama and Edwards in Florida, but she gained no delegates to show for it.

text: "I'm scared to think of my album flopping," confesses Jazmine Sullivan on "Fear," giving the lie to her debut's title. But she need not worry: Her first single, "Need U Bad," has already hit No. 1 on Billboard's R&B chart. A killer combo of reggae and retro soul produced by Missy Elliott, it's the best Lauryn Hill song that Lauryn Hill never did. But with tracks like the gritty "Bust Your Windows" and the girl-group throwback "One Night Stand," this CD is more like the African-American answer to Amy Winehouse's Back to Black (they even share producer Salaam Remi). Here's hoping this talented 21-year-old singer leaves the drama on disc.

Almost daily I read the rich don't pay enough taxes, the rich don't carry their fair share, and the rich hide their money.
Let's be honest, the fact is death and taxes are the only things certain. It is the laws/rules that determine how much money we all pay toward our tax bill. Each and every one of us tries to max out our deductions so we pay as little as possible. It is not an individual's preference what they pay, it is big brother.
So how do you fix it? A flat tax, every one pays an equal percentage of their income. No deductions, no loopholes and guess what: no need for the IRS.
Why not the fairest tax of all, a sales tax. You don't buy, you don't pay. You buy new you pay more; you buy used you pay less. But you decide when and how much you pay. Again, big brother is no longer needed.
Lastly, we could go a long way to reducing the debt if campaign contributions to candidates, political parties and PACs were taxed. I don't care what you call it, it is income, it is wealth, and it adds up to billions, and it should be taxed.
There shouldn't be any free rides. Bring back Jim Trafficant, and beam me up Scotty.

Got a K-31 headed my way. Does anyone have any suggestions, tip, tricks, etc, on loading the 7.5 Swiss?
Thanks in advance,

Mine likes Hornady 165grn SP bullets over a mild load of H4895. Unless you like lots of extra work, make sure you pick up some boxer primed brass. It takes forever to load the Berdan primed GP11 casings.

Use the Redding Dies. DO NOT BUY THE LEEs! The Lees are sized for the K11 chamber and will give you nothing but issues with your ammo. Once I switched to the Redding FL sizing die, no more issues. Had tons of failure to fire with Lee dies or chamber wouldn't close. Mine likes 168gr Sierra Match Kings over 4320. I've heard 174gr Berger VLDs closely approximate the GP11 bullets. Prvi brass is good to go for reloading, and Wolf ammo uses Prvi brass anyhow. Its a crying shame the GP11 brass isn't boxer primed because it looks like really good stuff!

Will also add that the K31 is VERY sensitive to OAL, most the data in the books are too long and again for the K11 chamber. Recommend loading up a dummy round at the book value, trying to chamber it and working down a bit at a time until you can get the chamber closed. The serial # on the bolt should be at 12:00 and the back of the bolt should be flush with the receiver. You'll love the K31, the trigger breaks perfectly and you can drive tacks with it.

Any powder suggestions? I normally use either Varget, 4320, or 4064 for what I load currently.

Tagging for followups. :)
I'm just about out of boxer primed 7.5 swiss factory ammo, and plan on loading some of my brass for it for the first time.

I've used the Hornaday 155gr A-Max over Varget with great success in my K31s. Starting load from 41gr., I keep velocities mild to keep recoil down, don't need full military ballistics to punch holes in paper at 200 yards.
COL to suit your rifle, I found this combination also shoots close to the factory sight settings.

I just posted photos of the tool I use to remove Berdan primers from GP-11 brass. If you know anyone that has a metal lathe it shouldn't be that difficult to come up with something similiar for removing the spent primers. After that, prep work on GP-11 brass is just about the same as Boxer primed military brass.

I have loaded hundreds of 7.5 Swiss cartridges for my K31 using Lee dies. What I learned is that when sizing the bottom of the die must come into contact with the shell holder. There can be no light between them. On the cheap Challenger press I use this means giving the sizing die one more complete turn in addition to what the instructions call for. If the cases are sized correctly you will not experience failures to fire. Lee dies (being cut for the 1911 chamber) may work the brass more but they do work for K31 loads.
My match load is a Hornady 168 gr A-Max over 47.4 grains of AA4350. I am using Prvi Partisan cases and Wolf large rifle primers.

Parker51, when you get a sec can you mic the diameter of the decapping rod?

It measures .308 and should be slightly rounded on the end so it starts easy in the brass.

ROOSEVELT PARK, MI – Good Friday was a good Friday for the Dillon family of Roosevelt Park.
Sister and brother Stacy and Scott Dillon, both in the Air Force, surprised their mother, Joan Dillon, and older sister Melissa Dillon – as well as Melissa's 2-year-old daughter, Tayla -- by showing up unexpectedly at their table at The Station Grill, 910 W. Broadway in Roosevelt Park on Friday, April 18.
It was the first time the family had been reunited in three years.
The military sibs were in blue dress uniform. Both carried bouquets of flowers.
Mother and big sister were suitably shocked – or mostly so.
"Oh, you boogers!" Joan Dillon said as the two long-unseen children walked up to her table from a back office, where they'd sat in wait. They stood, they hugged, and the restaurant patrons and staff broke into applause.
Joan said afterward she'd had a suspicion her son might show up without warning. He had earlier told her he had a scheduled leave, then told her it was canceled. "I kind of thought something was going on," she said.
But Stacy's appearance was a total surprise.
She was thrilled at the family reunion. "It's great, because I hadn't seen Scott in three years," Joan Dillon said after the reunion. "It's very, very nice; very good" to have her brood back together.
Melissa Dillon was shocked to see her siblings. She hadn't seen her brother since he enlisted. "I was definitely surprised. It was a very good job," she said.
Stacy, a 23-year-old staff sergeant E-5, is stationed at Minot, N.D., Air Force Base and has been in the service more than five years.
Scott, 21, a senior airman E-4, is stationed at Vogelweh Air Base in Germany. He's frequently deployed to other overseas assignments – he just got back from Africa, exactly where, he's not allowed to say -- and has been in the Air Force for nearly three years.
Both joined up shortly after graduating from Mona Shores High School.
They started plotting the surprise together early this year in texts and phone calls. They got simultaneous leaves, long enough for Stacy to stay in Muskegon until May 5, Scott until May 15.
Stacy said the idea for the surprise was "kind of mutual" – she came up with the concept of surprising her family at a restaurant, Scott thought of calling local news media.
They enlisted the help of the Station staff and of their grandfather, Carl Dillon. Carl made the restaurant reservation and told Joan and Melissa that he and his wife, Bonnie, were inviting them out for a 6 p.m. Easter dinner.
A few minutes after 6 came the surprise.
In the 45 minutes or so leading up to it, Stacy and Scott Dillon waited in a back office at the restaurant with Stacy's friend Nicole Schmeling, watching the reserved table on a video monitor. Carl and Bonnie showed up around 5:30.
Almost exactly at 6 p.m., Joan, 56, and Melissa, 29, showed up with Tayla. Stacy and Scott waited until they were settled in and getting ready to order their meals, then made their grand entrance.
Stacy's and Scott's excitement – and, in Stacy's case, nervousness – rose as they waited for their mother and sister to appear on the monitor.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time," Scott said.
"It feels wonderful," Stacy said. "It's always nice to come home, especially after a long period of time." She said it had been about two years since she last was home. Her mother visited her about seven months ago in North Dakota, but that was only for a couple of days, she said.
They laughed and joked between themselves as they waited. Stacy kidded Scott about his obsession with the movie "Top Gun." He said he's watched it over and over and knows all the lines. "People don't want to watch it with me," he said.
"That's what kind of started it for me," he said of the classic 1986 movie and his passion for the Air Force and airplanes. Growing up, he loved the annual Muskegon Air Fair at the Muskegon County Airport.
As the sister and brother grew up, Stacy caught Scott's enthusiasm. As the older sister, she was the first of the two to enlist.
Stacy admitted her stomach was churning as the surprise reunion approached.
As their mother, sister and niece showed up on the video screen on schedule, Stacy's and Scott's eagerness showed.
"I'm excited!" she said.
"Yup! Yup! Yup!" he said. "They have no idea."
"I'm nervous," Stacy said.
"I'm excited! I'm stoked!" Scott said. "My heart's racing." He swiveled rapidly back and forth in a rotating chair.
Then, the big reveal.
Afterward, Carl Dillon nodded toward his grandchildren and spoke proudly: "Fine-looking airmen."
