Norwich — Former Recreation Director C. Roger Moss used city equipment for personal use, allowed drinking of beer at adult softball games on city property and invited family members to a staff party in a luxury suite at the Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium, a termination letter released Monday by city officials said.
Moss was fired by City Manager Alan Bergren Nov. 12. The Day filed Freedom of Information requests for the investigation report and termination letter, and then a complaint with the state Freedom of Information Commission when city officials initially refused to release the documents.
Moss has filed a grievance challenging the termination. Moss said Monday he had objected to the release of the termination letter, because his grievance is pending. He declined to comment further. City Human Resources Director Brigid Marks said grievance proceedings have not yet been scheduled.
The termination letter signed by Bergren Nov. 12 outlined nine allegations. Bergren described some as showing "poor judgment" as a department head and wrote that Moss allegedly made false statements in responses to some allegations.
The second letter released Monday was written by Marks to Moss Oct. 15 prior to a pre-termination hearing. Marks outlined 10 incidents in that letter.
Bergren had placed Moss on paid administrative leave Oct. 1.
In his termination letter, Bergren wrote that Moss was told during the summer that men's softball players were drinking beer on city property, and he failed to investigate the allegation. Bergren called the failure to do spot checks "poor judgment, particularly since you were a department head."
Moss allegedly allowed softball players to drink beer at the softball banquet in August. At the termination hearing, Moss told Bergren he "felt it was acceptable behavior" because Otis Library had hosted a wine-tasting event. Bergren wrote that the library is not governed by the city, and Moss had indicated he was aware that beer drinking on public property was not allowed.
"The fact that you allowed individuals to drink and bring beer to a city-sponsored event on city property is a dereliction of duty," Bergren wrote.
Moss also allegedly drove a city truck for personal use, including to and from home. He also was accused of using a city camera for personal use and in August, allegedly moved a large city grill, propane tanks and a large tent to a location in Berlin for a Podunk Bluegrass Festival fundraiser. Moss is executive director of the festival.
Bergren wrote that Moss was "dishonest" or made false statements in responding to the grill, propane and tent use and camera use.
Moss allegedly told Bergren that his wife, son and son's girlfriend attended the staff party at Dodd Stadium only after invited guests failed to attend. But Bergren wrote that Moss' response was "dishonest" because city officials later discovered the family members had been on the invitation list prior to the event.
In another incident, Moss allegedly stored "large amounts of personal, Podunk and wrestling club items without permission" at the city Recreation Department. Moss reportedly told city officials that a subordinate employee had told him storage of personal items was acceptable.
A big-screen TV with a sticker labeled "East Hartford" also was stored at the department. Bergren wrote that Moss' responses to questions about the TV were "dishonest."
Moss had worked as East Hartford recreation director for 15 years prior to being hired by Norwich. He also is youth wrestling coach in Berlin.
The final incident involved Moss' purchase of a storage shed for the Recreation Department in September. Moss allegedly selected a shed he liked at Carefree Small Buildings. Moss then allegedly allowed the company representative to provide the required three competitive bids — two of which had no return addresses. Bergren called that situation "highly unprofessional."
In describing several incidents, Bergren included a statement that in June he had directed Moss to inform him of any issues "that could be viewed in a potentially negative light by city taxpayers."

This invention relates to a method for determining if surface or near-surface drilling hazards exist at a subsea location.
Prior to drilling a wellbore, a study must be made to determine if geological conditions exist that could render the location hazardous for drilling. On land, data for this study may be easily obtained by coring and surface mapping. For a subsea location, it is more difficult and costly to obtain data necessary for such a study. Typically, a combination of a deep towed side scan sonar/sub-bottom profiler survey and a geohazard survey are performed. The deep tow survey data is utilized to map surface and near surface characteristics. The geohazard survey is used to obtain fathometer data to produce a contour map and sparker data to obtain further details about the near sea floor geology. This hazard analysis is required as a sound drilling practice and often as a regulatory prerequisite. Hazards that could affect wild-cat drilling include surface faults, debris slides, landslides, mudflows, salt structures, fluid expulsion features, carbonate build-ups, and shipwrecks and other man made obstructions. For drilling a wellbore for long-term operations, buried landslides could also be significant, but for wild-cat or evaluational drilling, movement of a buried landslide would be sufficiently slow that the purpose of the wellbore would be fulfilled prior to a failure of the well due to the buried landslide.
A near-surface hazard analysis is typically performed by obtaining the two survey data sets, constructing models of surface and near-surface geology, and then studying the morphology for indications that one of the formation hazards may exist, and then studying the near-surface geology to determine if the indications evident from the surface model actually represent a hazard.
Although it has not been common practice, sparker data have recently been replaced with high resolution 3D seismic data. A seismic survey incorporates initiating a shock wave above a subsea surface and recording signals reflected from subsurface discontinuities as a function of time. Continuous interfaces between subsurface rock layers can be found as a function of shock wave travel time by matching signal patterns received at various receiver locations. The nature of reflected signals are indicative of the nature of the various rock layers. By using the information obtained from the reflected signals, velocities for the signals through individual layers are estimated, and the estimated velocities are used to convert time data into the depth estimates.
3D seismic involves collecting data along a plurality of lines at one time. The lines are typically acquired one hundred to three hundred feet apart. With 3D seismic data, a considerably more complete understanding of subsurface features can be achieved.
Sources used to initiate shock waves having a range of frequencies. Relatively low frequency shock waves are needed to obtain data from deep within the formation. High frequency data is useful in determination of geological characteristics but is difficult to maintain below about two to three seconds below the mudline. The mudline is defined as the top of the sea floor, and the terms sea floor and mudline will be used interchangeably herein. "High resolution" seismic data is obtained by enhancing of the high frequency responses. Commercially available computer programs such as CogniSeis FOCUS software and Landmark ITA/Advance software may be used to obtain this high resolution data.
Maps based on high resolution seismic data may be prepared using other commercially available software such as ZYCOR and a plotter such as a Versatec plotter.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method to identify near-surface hazards wherein 3D seismic data is used to provide a surface rendering that is useful to identify geological features that could represent drilling hazards, and high resolution 3D seismic interpretation is used to further analyze those features to identify existence or absence of near-surface drilling hazards for prospective drilling sites that are not in a geologically complex area. It is a further object to provide such a method wherein deep tow and geohazard surveys are not required.
These and other objects are accomplished by a method to identify existence of near-surface drilling hazards in the vicinity of a sea floor location, the method comprising the steps of:
obtaining 3D seismic data for the seafloor in the vicinity of the sea floor location;
preparing a high resolution 3D vertical profile from the 3D seismic data;
preparing an artificially-illuminated rendered surface based on the 3D seismic data; and
identifying existence of near-surface hazards in the vicinity of the sea floor location by visual analysis of the rendered surface with reference to the high resolution 3D vertical profiles.
In this method, 3D seismic data is used to perform a drilling hazards study without the need for obtaining deep tow or geohazard data. 3D seismic data is typically available for prospective drilling sites, and considerable time and money is saved with the practice of the present invention. This method is particularly beneficial for prospective drilling in water of greater than about 800 feet in depth because water of about this depth is required for obtaining a robust water-bottom event.
FIG. 1 is a typical artificially illuminated rendered surface prepared for use in a near-surface hazard analysis using grey shading.
FIG. 2 is a high-resolution seismic cross-section passing near a proposed well site.
FIG. 3 is a map showing identified potential near-surface hazards in the vicinity of a proposed drilling site.
3D seismic data is obtained as an initial step in the present invention by methods well known in the art. This data has likely been collected in the vicinity of a drilling prospect. Several geophysical service companies such as, for example, Western, Geco and Digicon, are capable of collecting this data. This 3D seismic data is further processed according to the present invention to obtain at least one high resolution seismic vertical profile, and an artificially illuminated rendered surface image. At least one of the seismic vertical profiles is preferably through the prospective drilling site. The high resolution seismic vertical profile and the artificially illuminated rendered surface image are used together to determine the presence or absence of near-surface drilling hazards in the vicinity of a drilling site. Preferably a grid of several vertical profiles is developed so that features can be more fully understood based on the profiles.
The present invention is best practiced in conjunction with a potential drilling site that is more than about 800 feet below mean sea level. In shallower water, it is difficult to obtain shallow 3D seismic data acceptable for high frequency enhancement. The present invention is also best practiced in conjunction with a potential drilling site where the sea floor is of a slope of less than about 5� and not a geologically "complex" surface. When the sea floor is of a greater slope than about 5� or a geologically complex surface, the present method may be utilized along with other information to obtain a complete understanding of potential near-surface hazards, but a significant advantage of the present invention, avoidance of performing deep tow and geohazard surveys, is not likely to be achievable.
High resolution seismic profiles are preferably obtained by first subsetting the 3D seismic data into a data set that represents only responses that are less than about two to three seconds below the mudline. Subsetting the data reduces the volume of data to be processed, and focuses on the interval of interest for a shallow hazard study.
The subsetted seismic data is enhanced by high-frequency boost and whitening methods that are well known in the art. Software that is capable of such high-frequency boost and whitening includes CogniSeis FOCUS software and Landmark ITA/Advance software. The high resolution profiles may be displayed and hard copies produced using software such as ZYCOR available from Landmark.
Seafloor and subseafloor images that contain sufficient detail for the practice of the present invention can be constructed from 3D seismic data. These images can be constructed by first picking a loose grid and then applying an auto-picker to compile a dense grid of points. The dense grid provides sufficient detail to clearly show where near surface drilling hazards may be located in the subsequently produced artificially illuminated rendered surface. From the dense grid of points, the seismic data is converted from time to elevation and amplitude data using known methods and then base maps and contour maps can be created using software such as ZYCOR.
An important aspect of the present invention is that artificially illuminated rendered surfaces are created from seismic data to provide a starting point for identifying potential near-surface drilling hazards. Artificial illumination allows for display of a level of detail that contour maps or other methods of display are not capable of revealing. Artificially illuminated rendered surfaces can be prepared for the sea floor, and for significant horizons near the sea floor. Generally, near surface drilling hazards are of within about 2000 feet of the sea floor.
Artificially illuminated rendered surfaces can also be prepared based on the amplitudes of reflected seismic signals. The advantages of creating such artificially illuminated rendered surfaces parallel that of the contour surfaces. Significantly more detail can be displayed and therefore used to identify and understand potential near surface drilling hazards.
Commercially available software capable of creating artificially illuminated renderings from dense sets of data include ER-MAPPER, and ENVI Image Processing. Hard copies of such renderings may be obtained using printers such as Tektronics 300 dpi dye-sublimation printer. Referring now to FIG. 1, an example of an artificially illuminated rendered surface is shown with grey shading to indicate light from the left (west) at a 37� angle with vertical dimensions exaggerated by a factor of five. Examples of features that are apparent from this figure include gas volcanos, 101, salt highs, 102, debris flows, 103, erosion from dense salt brine, 104, faults, 105, and a basin, 106. It can be seen that a contour map would not be likely to make these features as apparent as they appear in this figure.
Artificially illuminated renderings and the high resolution seismic sections are interpreted by means known in the art to identify near-surface drilling hazards. This interpretation is performed in a manner similar to near-surface drilling hazard studies based on deep tow and geohazard data. Near-surface drilling hazards include, but are not limited to surface faults, debris slides, landslides, mudflows, salt structures, expulsion features, and carbonate build-ups. Each of these hazards could result in a wellbore failing prior to the goals of a well being accomplished.
Results of a near-surface drilling hazard analysis are typically displayed on a map or overlays to a map for easy understanding of the importance of each potential hazard to a drilling site at all proposed locations.
If a wellbore is drilled for long-term production development, study beyond the scope of the present invention may be required due to the possibility of hazards such as buried landslides, shipwrecks and man-made hazards which may not be identified with the use of the present invention. The present invention is therefore not preferably practiced in conjunction with installation at development facilities.
A near-surface drilling hazard analysis was completed and accepted by the Gulf of Mexico Minerals Management Service as complying with specifications for shallow hazards assessments detailed in MMS publication NTL 83-3 and NTL 88-11. This analysis is detailed in "Shallow Hazards Report Blocks 109 and 110, Green Canyon Area Gulf of Mexico," submitted by Shell Offshore Inc. on Jan. 14, 1994, and on file with U.S. Department of Interior, Gulf of Mexico Minerals Management Service. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are copies of plates from this Report.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a high resolution seismic section near the proposed well site is shown. This section was prepared from 3D seismic data that has been truncated below 3 seconds and modified with a high-frequency enhancement and whitening. A proposed well site, 201, is shown on a seafloor, 206, below the mean sea level, 207. Faults, 203, are depicted around diapiric uplifts, 205. High amplitude events, 208, are evident along with an amplitude anomaly, 209. A time scale, on the left, is provided, and an approximate depth scale is shown on the right. Thirty eight sections, such as FIG. 1, were prepared along with fourteen sections perpendicular to the first thirty eight. Two subseafloor horizons, horizon A, 209, and horizon B, 210, were interpreted and rendered surface models included in the report.
An artificially illuminated rendered surface was also prepared based on the same 3D seismic data from which FIG. 2 was prepared. The artificially illuminated rendered surfaces were prepared by selecting a loose grid on each horizon and utilizing an auto-picker to fill in data points. Elevation data was then determined for each point based on expected velocities to generate a dense grid of elevation data for each surface. The dense grid of elevation data were then used to generate color-coded, artificially illuminated surface images. These images were then reproduced in hard-copy using a Tektronics 300 dpi dye sublimation printer. Surface features were then identified from these hard copies by visual inspection, and then the high resolution seismic sections were utilized to fully understand the relevant surface features.
Referring now to FIG. 3, a map of surface features identified in this shallow hazard is shown. Similar maps were also prepared for horizon A and for horizon B. High-amplitude events are shown by shading such as shown in 301. Faults, 302, are shown with up, 303, and, 304, down sides marked. A sea floor valley is shown as dotted line 305. The proposed well site is shown as 306. An area of poor reflection, separated by line 307, is also identified. The location of the proposed well site was shown to be acceptable based on this study and result displayed such as in FIG. 3.
Lines for which high resolution seismic cross-sections are available are shown as lines 308. These lines were spaced about 1,500 feet apart in the NE-SW direction and about 500 feet apart in the NW-SE direction.
The foregoing description and example of the present invention is exemplary, and reference to the following claims is made to determine the scope of the present invention.

MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G Graphics Card Review
4K Benchmarks
Far Cry Primal is a game built on the impressive Dunia Engine 2 with wide open, beautiful environments. It might look stunning, but the performance is actually quite good - but most cards will be stressed at 1440p, and especially so at 4K and beyond.
You can buy Far Cry Primal at Amazon.
We recently changed over to Metro: Last Light Redux, with developer 4A Games making the Redux version of Metro: Last Light the 'definitive' version of the game. Redux had a fresh coat of paint on the already impressive 4A Engine, and it really pushes our GPUs to their limits.
You can buy Metro: Last Light Redux at Amazon.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is one of the most graphically intensive games we test, with Monolith using their own Lithtech engine to power the game. When cranked up to maximum detail, it will chew through your GPU and its VRAM like it's nothing.
You can buy Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor at Amazon.
Thief has been around for quite a while now, with the latest version of the first-person stealth game powered by Epic Games' older Unreal Engine 3. While it's old, it has some great multi-GPU scaling that we use to test out our various GPU setups.
You can buy Thief at Amazon.
Tomb Raider is still such a gorgeous game, with developer Crystal Dynamics using their own 'Foundation' engine to build Lara Croft into the new world. One of the best parts about Tomb Raider is the absolutely stellar multi-GPU scaling, so this is an important test to see how well our NVIDIA GeForce SLI and AMD Radeon CrossFire setups scale.
You can buy Tomb Raider at Amazon.

The Pain Curve – Lack of Automation Leads to Failure
Due of the rise of Hadoop, many enterprises are now deploying their first small clusters of 10 to 20 servers.
At this small scale, the complexity of operating the cluster looks and feels like general data center servers. It is not until the clusters
scale, as they inevitably do, when the pain caused by the exponential complexity becomes apparent. I've seen this problem occur time and time again.
This talk describes why clusters are so different from farms of single-purpose servers that reside in traditional data centers, and why without an automated solution that can address the cluster requirements, real pain is coming and failure is certain.
Speaker Bio:
Greg Bruno is the Vice President of Engineering and co-founder of StackIQ. Prior to joining StackIQ, he co-founded the open-source Rocks Cluster Group at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). He received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCSD where he researched parallel file systems. Prior to the Rocks Cluster Group, he worked for 10 years at Teradata Systems where he developed cluster management software for the systems that supported the world's largest databases.

Skip to comments.Wendy Davis hits back at Bristol Palin
Posted on 01/28/2014 1:22:34 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Texas gubernatorial hopeful Wendy Davis brushed off criticism about her life story from Bristol Palin, saying that nothing Palin accused her of was true.
Davis was responding to a blog post from the daughter of former Gov. Sarah Palin, who wrote last week amid questions about the timeline of Daviss personal biography, slamming her for allegedly leaving her kids behind with her ex-husband after finishing law school.
Gosh, children are sooo inconvenient, huh? Im glad my mother didnt put motherhood on the shelf when she was elected to City Council, then became our mayor, then governor, Palin wrote, addressing her comments to liberals. I know you would rather think about Wendy Davis, so lets get back to her. Shes more your type of woman. She left her kid, husband, made it into a false made-for-tv-movie-type tale and then demanded that Texans have the right to kill babies. Thats the woman you libs can really get behind!(continued)
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
"Punching down at a private individual? Did you learn that from Mr. Obama, Wendy? "
I suspect that Wendy figured that one out all by herself.
There's nothing "allegedly" about her leaving her kids and husband. There's a court record.
LOL Wendy Davis going after a private citizen who writes on a blog..WOW need anymore proof that Wendy is DONE..not like we all didn't know that already
Couldn't happen to a more deserving twit than WD.
Wendy lowers her own status by "Barking Back" at the bloggings of a 22 year old private citizen. Yes, it's Bristol Palin, but she has not been elected to anything. Bristol must've really struck a nerve for Wendy to react that way. This only elevates Bristol's status. I can see the day where Bristol could become a Talking Head on certain news shows, but not now, during the O years. All in good time!
Wendy Davis is nothing more than a stalking horse for Hillary. In 2016 the rats will discard Davis as they compare St. Hillary is to the trashy troll that is Davis.
And they expect Texas women will say, "See? Hillary is truly a feminist supporting the cause for women everywhere."
The rats might as well have telegraphed this.
Wendy Davis for no reasons whatsoever is going out of her way to attack a private citizen who has done nothing at all to her.
In the end, it is just another brutal attack on the Palin family, who are doing nothing except attempting to raise their families in private outside of the public view.
Yeah I mean someone who writes on a blog is obviously a threat LOL..Wendy should just abort herself..from this campaign..she can call it a late late late late abortion..and since she loves abortion so much she can take one for the cause
Sounds like somebody is over the target.
Hopefully the communist filth from Hollywood and fellow travelers blow millions on Abortion Barbie and still lose to Abbott 65-35.
Hillary Clinton could eat a puppy live on TV and she would still get 50+ percent of the vote now how sad is THAT..sad that woman see murdering their baby as "Taking one for the cause"
Exactly! Barbie-wendy broke the most basic rule of PR by even responding - and now she's elevated Bristol to the level of a Texas gubenatorial candidate (which has a nice ring to it...) So now she's just about guaranteed that the whole issue will live on, when otherwise even most of us were hoping she'd just go away.
The heck of it is, it's all true, so she not only comes across looking like a dope, but a lying dope.
Popcorn! We need more!
LOL. Wendy Davis, lover of infanticide, suddenly starts targeting private citizens?
Oh, and a young girl at that?! :)
Wendy, you're finished as a candidate. Maybe you can get appointed to some low level crap in the lame duck Clown's withering team's bureaucracy.
You're gonna be beaten by a handicapped guy you and your team mocked.
How's it feel, failure?
Bristol Palin could run against Wendy Davis in Texas and beat her by 20 points..that is how toxic Davis is..other than loving abortion what does Wendy Davis even bring to the table, absolutely NOTHING..she is just your typical abortion loving, Communist thinking, progressive libtard
Austin doesn't have enough residents to get Wendy Davis elected to statewide office.
Wendy Davis should "man up". Critics were far more catty and misogynist with Sarah Palin (and still are).
Abortion Barbie says "Campaigns are HARD."
Davis might be a Harvard grad with a multi-million dollar campaign war chest, but her run is starting to resemble Christine O'Donnell's / Sharron Angle's. Very, very tone-deaf.
Not me. I want her to continue the campaign to the bitter end and drag as many jackasses down ticket to defeat with her as possible.
What an idiot, saying that she (Davis) will always be the most important woman in her daughters' lives. Just taking that gift for granted shows her to be arrogant beyond belief, but it probably also means she is a liar.
Davis - Psychotic Narcissist.
You can even see it in her eyes.
I think Wendy would have had a better shot at a Senate seat.
The national MSM doesn't get as excited about state offices. If they could get her to Wash DC, they would be ecstatic.
Great site!
Makes me wish the R party here in IL had a pair amongst 'em, and took this kind of approach to fighting to turn this state purple, at least.
Fair is fair. Palin took the first shot. This might wind up being a Twitter flame war between the two. I don't know about you but I'm going to start the popcorn. It might get good.
Go Bristol! Boy you have to love that Palin family. Thank you Tod as we say here in TX "you done good".
Looks like the Barbie Doll got her feathers ruffled. Good for you Bristol.
Don't at all be surprised when Bristol runs for statewide or national office in the future.
Can you imagine how mad the liberals will be when Sarah is President of the United States and Bristol is in the US Senate?
It's pretty obvious that Davis has killed at least one of her offspring and is spending the rest of her life trying to justify that murder.
In the end, it is just another brutal attack on the Palin family, who are doing nothing except attempting to raise their families in private outside of the public view.
Here's what Davis said:
"With all due respect to Ms. Palin, of course, nothing that was said in that tweet is true. Im very proud of the mother I have been to my daughters. I have always been and will always be the most important female in their lives. They are the most important thing to me and Im very proud Ive been able to be a role model, a friend, a mother to these two beautiful girls Ive raised."
Davis shouldn't have responded to Palin at all, but it's hard to call that a "brutal attack on the Palin family," or even an "attack" whatsoever.
What a great sight! They should build one for any LibTard Usurper trying to move into Red States. :)
Wish we had had one for Tammy Baldwin (D, WI) back in the day! the rest of America wouldn't be stuck with her now!
The odds are much higher of it being Hillary and Chels.
Whereas she should be living the rest of her life in penitence for that baby and helping other young girls NOT make the mistake. Too many old ladies are doubling down on their dead babies, not trying to make things right.
A general rule of public relations is to ignore those below you, lest you elevate them and give them a podium, which Senator Davis has done here. If I blog about Wendy Davis should she respond to me, too? Miss Bristol Palin has never been elected to office that I'm aware of. Will she respond to a tweet or post from Piper, I wonder?
'site' More coffee!
going after a Palin will always excite the leftist base of any politician
In repentance, yes.
She's been lied to like most of us - "God will never forgive you for that". But, that's a lie.
They're rather like alcoholics, trying to make sure everyone else in the room is drunk, too, in order to not be the one in the wrong.
Ooooh....great link!!
From your link....Wendy & The Tall Tale (Not Ready for Prime-time)...
Ooh - a Wookie!
Now THAT would be awesome..just seeing liberals commit mass suicide if that happened would be the coolest thing EVER. Bristol is a smart girl and she has a good head on her shoulders..she hasn't done any political commentary on TV..yet, but I think she should..she is very intelligent. I follow her blog and her facebook page as well and even though she gets her share of haters, she also has a good amount of supporters too..her son is also adorable
WIndy is barely coherent in her reply. At best, her usual specialness and use of, "I", soaked up all the Q&A time in this report.
Politico just couldn't help itself. It just HAD to write an article that it thinks reflects more negativity on the Palin name. It's a huge, loud backfire on Davis.
NAh...Davis is itching for notoriety, good or bad press, she knows she's done so why not take on Palin's daughter to get to Palin. Davis is part of "the Clinton machine"...so they'll use her any way they can. Sorta of like Weiner....
Does anyone know if she is giving up her senate seat?
Excuse me, but when someone leads a statement with the phrase, "With all due respect," it only means one thing. It means the really bad word that begins with "F"followed by You.
And that is exactly what Davis said to Bristol.
She's a Democrat. Can you cite me a single case of one of them who ever gave up a lower office before winning a higher office?
Well, I did read that she was up for re-election for her Senate seat this November. I don't think she can run for 2 offices at the same time, but I'm not sure.

Louie Gohmert Mocks Supreme Court Justices and Gay Marriage Supporters for Believing in Evolution
While Justice Antonin Scalia has problems believing in biology, Rep. Louie Gohmert takes issue with any Supreme Court justice who understands evolution. On last week's edition of Washington Watch, Gohmert spoke to conservative activist J. Christian Adams about the court's decisions in the DOMA and Prop 8 cases, which he had previously warned signal the collapse of civilization.
Gohmert reacted to the court's rulings by quoting "the wisest man in the history of mankind," King Solomon, while lamenting that his wisdom was "ruined" by engaging in polygamy (which also happens to undermine Gohmert's case that there was just one definition of marriage in the Bible).
"He should've stuck with one man and one wife and I think he'd stay wise the rest of his life," Gohmert said of Solomon, "but during a period of wisdom he said, 'There is nothing new under the sun,' and the holy quintet [the Supreme Court] had not apparently realized that, they really thought this was something new and improved."
The congressman then delved into the world of philosophy: "From a philosophical standpoint, you know, we got intellectuals on the court who are believed to support the idea that evolution is how mankind got here and there is an ongoing evolution occurring. And I can't just help but wonder, as these brilliant intellectuals have gotten to this point, how marriage between two men fits into the evolving of producing higher offspring that make the species higher and better."
Adams added the justices have sought to "change the laws of nature" and "alter what is reality," while Gohmert referenced a Chiffon margarine commercial to warn the justices that they "shouldn't mess with Mother Nature."

As he often reminds me, my husband would never have a dog if he wasn't married to me.
And yet he's more than a casual onlooker in our little Casa de Perra. He's a full-fledged inmate if I ever saw one.
Whether I'm bringing foster dogs home or teaching Honey to ride in a bike cart, he always bring a sense of humor to the proceedings.
But you know that already, right? You've read his guests posts.
Oh, you haven't? Then you don't know what you're missing.
We'll start off with the slightly gross:
Over the past two days, Honey has been coming up to me out of nowhere and nuzzling the palm of my right hand.
I would find this behavior cute instead of vaguely creepy but for the fact that my little finger has been seeping trace amounts of blood from the eight stitches I received from a losing encounter two days ago with an access hatch cover.
Read the rest of Glad to Meat You.
And of course, what kind of dog blog would this be without a truly amazing poop story? And I mean amazing. Learn what happens when, walking a dog without a plastic bag, my husband gets inspired by the surrounding snow and the image of a tootsie pop in The Dog, The Universe, and Me.
So he might not have a dog if he wasn't married to me. But he'd also have fewer funny stories.
Your Turn: Do your closest friends and family understand your dog passion? Or do they just go along for the ride?

this article on Shelterpop, Seymour choose the materials and is responsible for the names of the mattresses, coloring and ticking. A design motif monogram is based on her paintings. Seymour stands behind her products and in fact, says that her whole family is sleeping on her new mattresses, so I guess we can add product testing to the list. These kind of product brandings always strike us a a bit odd and got us wondering - do you own any "celeb" branded home goods? (via: Shelterpop) (Image: OCRegister, Josie Swindler for Shelterpop)

Hearing that Kevin Mitchell is viable option to face Brandon Rios on March 3rd but I hear he has legal issues that could prevent him from coming over to the States to face 'Bam Bam'. That would be a shame, that's a good looking scrap #boxing

I wanted to see him fight this last card instead of Murray!! seemed like good timing to make since he had just beat Murray. Cuz if it had been Mitchell, he seriously would have troubled Rios on that night. Now I think it will be bad timing for Mitchell, I don't think Rios will come into the ring that out of shape twice in a row and he'll be looking to make a better impression. Still think Mitchell will have some success tho, he can fight inside pretty decent and has the speed and footwork advantage from the outside.

According to the recently released 2012 Javelin Strategy & Research Identity Fraud Report, the number of identity fraud incidents increased by 13 percent in 2011, totaling 11.6 million adult victims. The report also found that certain social media behaviors and increasing number of data breach incidents contributed to the overall amount of identity fraud instances in the United States over the past year.
The findings in this year's study indicate that fraudsters are taking advantage of consumers' increased use of social networks, and hacking into large businesses where many identities are housed in one place. As these criminals continue to evolve in finding new ways to retrieve personal information, it is imperative that consumers remain consistent and committed to protecting their identity.
Intersections (provider of Identity Guard®) is pleased to provide the following recommendations and insight into this year's report:
Protect Your Information. Exposing common information like birth dates and addresses puts consumers at a greater risk as these elements are commonly used by financial institutions for security questions and validation of identity to access accounts. Even such seemingly harmless information could be valuable to experienced identity thieves.
Be Social, But Be Smart. Knowing that social networks are a hotbed for identity fraud activity, consumers should take extra care when deciding who to connect with and what applications to accept. Users that approve friend requests from strangers and use GPS/location based applications are far more susceptible to fraud.
Take Caution with Mobile Computing. The convenience of online and mobile banking is here to stay, but consumers need to take the extra step of ensuring their network connection is secure and their devices have updated security.
Be an Active Party in Detection. Consumers must take the responsibility of protecting their identities into their own hands. By enrolling in a comprehensive identity protection service like Identity Guard®, consumers have the extra security they need to help keep them protected.
Act Quickly. The sooner a victim learns of the fraud, the sooner their road to recovery can begin, so consumers must remain alert and act quickly in the event that they notice suspicious activity, reporting it to their financial institutions and law enforcement.
