Chance missed to make worthwhile changes to inter-county structure
Off the Ball - Getting inside the Game
Published 11/12/2013 | 23:31
Speaking at the launch of the Football Review Committee (FRC) structure changes, chairman Eugene McGee said: "competition structures are at the very heart of how football operates and there were broadly two key aspects to be addressed -- inter-county structures and club fixture-making."
But what, in fact, did they actually address regarding inter-county structures?
After consulting 4,000 people, in a process that took close to a year, the best that they came up with was to move three of the worst counties in Leinster and the worst county in Ulster into the Munster and Connacht championships.
One of the main criticisms of the Munster and Connacht provincial championships is that they're not competitive. Will moving Division 3 and 4 teams like Wicklow, Carlow and Antrim across address this issue?
The FRC's proposals are conservative and represent what they think will pass at Congress rather than what would make for a more exciting, fairer championship.
The underwhelming January competitions remain intact, and the only proposed change to the National League is to remove semi-finals. The length of the season, stretching from January to September, would remain unchanged.
It's well documented that the National Football League has lost its appeal. Attendances are down and some managers continue to treat it with disdain. To give the league a boost, they should have linked it to the championship. That would have reduced the heavy training that occurs during the league because managers would be required to take it seriously.
The championship should be two-tiered, yielding two All-Ireland champions every season.
Club championships are graded from senior to junior, giving more teams a realistic chance of winning. Junior teams would love to win a senior county title, but understand they're not at the required level. Why should the inter-county championship be any different? Division 3 and 4 teams competing against Kerry and Dublin for the All-Ireland title is silly.
But what's most disappointing is that the players themselves are generally disengaged from this process.
The majority of the players I played with never thought much about the games' structures, rule changes or even tactics. They just kept the head down like sheep and got on with training. The muted response to the GPA's restructuring proposals from players was disappointing, but didn't surprise me.
Kilkenny hurler Richie Hogan tweeted in response to the changes: "Where do they come up with this s**t! Just leave the thing alone!"
While the FRC have proposed some worthwhile changes, notably for club fixtures, the inter-county structural proposals could have been more radical.
I think they have blown a massive opportunity here to really make a real difference.
Euro mess shames unions and clubs
As Toulouse pounded away on the Connacht line on Sunday, as Leinster sacked Franklin's Gardens on Saturday, it was hard not to feel slightly wistful about the potential end of the Heineken Cup.
Even if it continues next season without the English clubs (and potentially without the Welsh) we'll have been denied the full expression of the tournament. That's a shame. It's a shame on the various unions who have been unable to prevent the clubs from flexing their muscles and it's a shame on the clubs for -- at best -- being incapable of the political skills required to convince everyone else that they had a viable, intelligent plan.
Eventually some pan-European competition will return after Sky and BT make a deal and everyone gets to save some face. This might not just be the last season we get to see Brian O'Driscoll play rugby, but it may be the last season that the glory of the Heineken Cup is available on tap to us as well.

Meh: Nearly half don't care who controls Congress
WASHINGTON -- Who cares which party controls Congress? Only about half of Americans. The other 46 percent, not so much, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll.
Ask people whom they would rather see in charge on Capitol Hill, and Republicans finish in a dead heat with "doesn't matter."
Democrats fare a little better: 37 percent would prefer their leadership, compared with 31 percent each for the GOP and whatever.
"I've never really noticed any difference in my life depending on which party is in," said Bob Augusto, 39, an oil refinery worker in Woodstown, N.J. He doesn't expect to vote in this fall's midterm election.
Nationally, Democrats have gained a modest edge since the previous AP-GfK poll in March, but it's not because people are liking them more. Support for Democratic leadership stayed essentially unchanged in the new poll, while Republicans lost ground to the idea that it makes no difference who wins this November.
"I think that in general people who are in Congress and people who have enough money to run for Congress are only in it for themselves," said Jill Narushof, 52, a mother of two and a part-time math tutor in Albuquerque, N.M., who said she'll vote but hasn't decided for whom. "I don't see very many who are really interested in serving."
Parts of the poll bode well for the GOP. Republicans, whose party has successfully deployed its House majority to repeatedly block President Barack Obama's policies, are significantly more likely than either Democrats or Independents to value control of Congress. Their base is more excited, too. Conservative Republicans are more concerned about party control than liberal Democrats are.
With Republicans making a strong push to seize control of the Senate, only a slim majority of Americans, 53 percent, said they care a good deal about which party wins.
A vast majority appear united around one thing: They're fed up. Nearly 9 out of 10 disapprove of Congress. Two-thirds want their current representative voted out, the AP-GfK poll shows. And 56 percent disapprove of the way Obama is doing his job.
Still, history suggests most people won't go to the polls to decide who runs Congress in the last two years of a presidency.

As many as one in five sun-like stars may have a planet the size of Earth, and the nearest could be in systems visible to the naked eye, astronomers say.
The research is based on a new analysis of findings from NASA's Kepler space observatory, and appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Study shows potential life-friendly Earths
A study of data collected by NASA's Kepler space telescope shows one out of every five sun-like stars in the Milky Way galaxy has a planet about the size of Earth that is properly positioned for water, a key ingredient for life. NO AUDIO
Ten newly discovered planets are close to Earth-sized and in the habitable zone of their stars, meaning they orbit at a distance that is not too hot or too cold to support life, Kepler scientists said.
There are about two dozen planets in total that may be a suitable distance from their suns so that their oceans would neither boil nor freeze, said Bill Borucki, Kepler science principal investigator.
If they have oceans, that is.
The Kepler mission stops short of delivering on key details in the hunt for life on other planets, such as the whether these planets have an atmosphere, oxygen or liquid water to support life.
Still, astronomers say the latest Kepler findings are a key milestone in the search for extraterrestrial life, and that more advanced technology in the future may answer more questions.
"We have lots of missions to consider in the future. I think some of those, which are already pushing technology, are likely to be done by our children or grandchildren," said Borucki.
The Kepler mission launched in 2009 on a search for planets outside the solar system that may orbit at a distance from their host stars that could allow life to exist.
A total of 3538 planet candidates have been found so far, with astronomers observing them as distant spots of light called transits, or passages in front of their stars that cause dimming.
Astronomers have found 833 new planet candidates using the first three years of a total of four years of Kepler data.
After analysing the first two years of data, the team had found a total of 351 Earth-sized planets. Now, they have found 647.
Just 104 are in the habitable zone, however, and of those, about 10 are believed to be potentially rocky like Earth, scientists said.
Astronomers also made some calculations to project how many of the 100 billion stars in our galaxy have potentially habitable planets.
"You can think of it like we are taking a census of extra-solar planets but not everyone is answering the door," said Erik Petigura, lead author of the study from the University of California, Berkeley.
Some transits might not be visible, or they may be lost in the brightness of the universe.
Based on this statistical analysis, astronomers estimate 22 per cent of stars like the sun have planets about the size of Earth with a surface temperature conducive to life, Petigura said.
"With about 100 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, that's about 20 billion such planets," he said.
That means the nearest sun-like star with an Earth-size planet in its habitable zone could be "12 light years away and can be seen with the naked eye", he said.
The Kepler science consortium brings together about 500 scientists from around the world.
The space observatory itself is now hobbled by the loss of two of its orienting wheels, and is no longer operating at full capacity, NASA announced in August.

This post is meant to complement the earlier post about playing Pathways into Darkness in OS X by providing steps to get the game running on Windows.
Getting Pathways to run in Windows is (ironically) easier in Windows than in OS X, but as before I will provide a single download with most of the work already complete, for your ease.
You will need two files:
1. 68k_emu_win.zip - This files contains the emulator BasiliskII, "hdd.vol" a volume that contains a fresh install of OS7.5, the game data, and the SDL library (required by the emulator).
2. The latest copy of GTK+2 - This is required for the emulator to run.
It really almost as simple as downloading the files.
Once you have the files first install GTK+2, next extract the contents of the file "68k_emu_win" you downloaded earlier. Finally enter the folder you extracted the files into and double click "BasiliskII.exe" and your done.
For better performance, it is recommended that you run the "BasiliskIIGUI.exe" file and tweak "Refresh Rate" and resolution fields found in the "Graphics/Sound" tab.
Other than that enjoy PiD. :D
[12-14-2008 - Updated broken links.]
[10-12-2010 - Got a couple messages about the links in this post being broken... Unfortunately I am unable to find the zip file in any of my backups. If I find it I will update the links.]

Without cars, trains or airplanes, people traveled by boat, horseback or on foot by "shank's mare". The reason so many colonial towns were located next to rivers is that often the roads were terrible seas of mud. It was so much easier to travel on the rivers!

Everybody knows that the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving, right? Well, probably not, but it was the Pilgrims' Thanksgiving that gave us our Thanksgiving holiday as we know it today.
The Pilgrims came to the New World looking for a way to worship God as they wished. They were not Puritans.

The Pilgrims at the Plymouth Colony were Separatists.

Some part of the author never grew up and the result is the enchanting adventures of The Children of Noisy Village, Ronia, the Robber's Daughter, and, of course, Pippi Longstocking.
"I write books for the child I am myself. I write about things that are dear to me--trees and houses and nature--just to please myself."
The ten Boom family lived a quiet, respectable life in the Dutch town of Haarlem. Corrie and her father made and repaired clocks. Her sister was their housekeeper. They were loved by the community. But in neighboring countries, Nazi Germany was rising, and soon it would sweep into the Netherlands.

Add pizzazz to your crafting projects, or make home decor shine when you use gold leaf. Thinly hammered sheets of gold, gold leaf comes in crafting quantities. Use it to make items look gilded in gold, and to work in conjunction with adhesive to stick to many types of surfaces. Find out more about using the delicate material, and purchase the DIY supplies you need to make your own gorgeous gold projects.
Take pottery to the next level by gilding it with gold leaf. Decorate cups, bowls, and plates, or add flair to terracotta pots. To gild pottery, all you need is a gold leaf adhesive called 'size', the gold leaf, and a spray sealant. Brush the size onto the pottery, and then gently place the gold leaf over the size. Once the pottery is covered, spray sealant over the project to set the gold leaf in place. For a distressed look, use irregular pieces of leaf and on random spots of the pottery.
Give a coffee table, dresser, or headboard a shabby chic feel, or update a picture frame with gold leaf. To add gold leaf to wood, sand the surface to make it smooth. Brush varnish onto the wood and allow it to dry. Then, use a brush to apply the sizing glue to the wood, where you wish to add the gold leaf. Wait roughly 45 minutes or until the size feels sticky to the touch. Apply the gold leaf gently and use a small sponge tip or gilding brush to press it into place. Spray a sealant onto the project.
Imagine the beauty of gilded glass vases, glass candle holders, Christmas ornaments, or serving bowls. To add gold leaf to glass, use a spray adhesive instead of size. Cut the gold leaf into the proper shapes in advance before you remove it from the backing. Spray the adhesive directly onto the gold leaf pieces, and then press them to the glass with your fingers. Use a small brush to add a coating of sealer.
If you want to liven up an old piece of jewellery, gold leaf is the answer. Clean the jewellery to make sure it is free from dust and debris. Use a small brush to apply the adhesive, and then carefully place the gold leaf onto the piece. Finish by brushing a clear sealant over the gold leaf. Gold leaf adds sparkle to a beaded necklace or accents a bangle bracelet.
Paper Projects
Make a journal that looks luxurious with gold leaf. To gild paper products like books and journals, use size adhesive glue and gold leaf. Cut the gold leaf gently to the size of your journal or scrapbook, and use a small brush to polish the size onto the book cover. Press the gold leaf into place and allow it to dry. Gilded notebooks make great gifts.

Excerpts of this interview really does show how close and tight the Park family is! The Park Siblings have all grown up to be loving and family-oriented people. Such a beautiful family! ^_^ This interview also shows just how similar Thunder and Dara are.
Note: Only parts of Thunder's interview are posted here. To get the full one, head on to OhThunder!
Each member is asked a question about Thunder, and they answered it from their perspectives.
-Joon was asked what would make Thunder mad.
Joon: "When I take away his cellphone that he never let go of? Just kidding. He doesn't get mad much. So, I think he won't get mad no matter what you do to him."
-G.O. was asked when Thunder seems happy.
G.O: "When he's talking with his family on the phone."
-What is "true Thunder" that you can't show to your fans?
Seungho: " He's crazy about his cat "Dadoong." It's just too much….can't show it."
G.O: "He's full of love for his family. So when he's talking with his family on the phone, he seems very happy."
Mir: "Surprisingly, he seems to like taking pictures. He poses funny and takes pictures during work. Once I saw him collecting those pictures (laugh)."
From Twitter: Fans requested the situations they wanted to see.
Thunder and Joon: (From a fan) "I remember you two did the parody of a commercial (the one with Dara and Lee Min Ho). Joon tried to kiss Thunder. Please do that again!"

Q. How do you feel about being the new Clio model?
In my experience as a cosmetics model, it's something that is enjoyable, but there's also the fact that you can't just let yourself go. But I'm glad that there's this chance now to show a more mature side of me, it's actually exciting to try out something new, and to discard the cute, young girl image. Now, according to the make-up concept, I can be a woman who can be charismatic or feminine, it's really about change, and it's something I'm excited for.
Q: Is there a beauty principle that you usually keep?
Even when we have tons of schedules, I really try to sleep as much as I can. Whenever I stand in front of the camera after I get enough rest, I feel that my skin's condition is the best. My skin becomes clearer and brighter after I get sleep.
Q: If there is a part of your make-up that you guve the most attention to, what is it?
Eye line! Because my eyes are round, I draw a strong eyeline if I want to give off a strong and bold feel, then I change it into something less if I want to go for a more charismatic feel; the eyeline gives off different impressions. Recently, I like the bold colors of the bloody series.
Q: What is the main difference between your on-stage and off-stage make-up?
Whenever I have to go up on-stage, I do my make-up according to the stage's concept, I also like to do it according the song's mood; but whenever we don't have a schedule, I usually just do a little eyeline, "wide child-like eyes," leaving a clear and innocent impression. Whenever I draw a small, short eye-line, it gives a cute and lovable impression.

Thanks to @NhicNhic and @TAMTAM1E1218 , my awesome ladies!❤
Maybe because she had already gone through the scary unnie concept with 2NE1 before, Park Sandara remains calm and collected as she goes through today's photoshoot alone.
"Our fans may be shocked by the outcome of the photos that will be taken today, hopefully, it's the good kind of shock, as compared to the shock that they had because of the bansak hair photoshoot from last year."
She says that today, 2NE1's Sandara Park, who is full of energy and plays like a naughty kid on stage, takes off her clothes and makes way for Park Sandara, who dons white, feminine clothing, standing alone in front of the camera.
Park Sandara became Sandara Park when she appeared in <Human Theater>, which chronicled her life in the Philippines, with the broadcast title, "My Name is Sandara Park," allowing the entire country to know her name as Sandara Park; she got used to it until she became 2NE1's Sandara Park.
She reveals, "Nowadays, even I myself feel awkward when someone calls me Park Sandara instead of Sandara Park. It sounds weird to me."
In fact, being 2NE1's Sandara Park was already a challenge. It was about 9 years ago, when she was just 21. Leaving the Philippines at that time when she was known as the nation's little sister, Sandara Park had to leave behind that identity and take on the status of being a trainee as she boarded a plane to South Korea alone.
"I was young at that time. Nowadays, I don't get to travel back and forth a lot anymore. Because I received a lot of love in the Philippines, my heart ached a lot when I left; but I had a challenge that I wanted to face in Korea. And so without fear, I came here to fulfill my dream of joining YG Entertainment."
Last year, Sandara Park tried out the bansak hairstyle, she says that she would have done anything to be like S.E.S. and Fin.K.L. ten years ago, when she was a young girl who dreamed a fairy tale dream of becoming popular in the music industry. There were four members who were all practicing to become solo acts initially, and who were quite shocked when they were put together under the name, "2NE1" for the first time. At first glance, they seem so different from one another. Specially Sandara, who was so shy, to a point that she was mistaken as mute during her school days. That is why YG's CEO Yang Hyun Suk, also known as "Yang Sajangnim," thought that it would be quite a difficult job to acquaint her with the other three members who were so, very different from herself.
"It was really awkward. When it was time to practice and I'd eat alone, those three always came to me first. So we became close really fast. Now, I think it's the three members who comfort and protect me."
Small misunderstandings though, would of course, arise. Recently, we learned that at first, Sandara Park thought that fellow member, and same-age friend, Park Bom, didn't like her. She blames it on the time when she called Park Bom but ended the call abruptly because she was too shy to talk.
"She didn't know about my personality back then until it was too late, but looking back at it now, it was really funny." The fact that she remains very shy is surprising, given how active and fierce the 2NE1 member Sandara Park can be on stage.
"I didn't say a word at school, but I found the courage to do a solo song during a school festival. I really don't know how I did gained confidence then."
Being too shy to show her real self, thus she needed the stage to stand on.
"Even before debut, my dream was always to one day be able to perform on a concert stage, so it felt really awesome when we had our first solo concert stage two years ago. And I was really happy during last year's concert tour. Two years ago, we only had a Japan tour aside from our domestic concert, but last year, we also went to the United States, Singapore, and Taiwan. I was really nervous, especially during our first performance in the states. We didn't know whether anyone would come to our first concert in New Jersey, I got really scared that there'd only be a few people in the audience. However, it was really amazing to see that a lot of Korean-Americans had come to see us. At first, I thought they were Americans, but they said that they were Koreans so I was surprised. When the tour ended, I cried a lot. If we are able to go to even more countries this year, it would be better."
Going beyond language barriers and borders, being able to be express herself on-stage, having that exciting feeling makes her want to stand on-stage even more. Looking back last year, there were some things that she wasn't able to do, yet there were just a few regrets.
"Because we went around for our global tour, we weren't able to do much in Korea. We were only able to put out one digital single, "I Love You" last year and weren't able to complete our album. I do look forward to performing new songs, coming back on-stage with a new style."
During debut, everything seemed suddenly so fascinating and new, but now that she's 2NE1's Sandara Park, she says that she still feels that challenges need to be faced.
She also recently reached the age of thirty. "Kill all!" Climbing on-stage, 2NE1's Sandara Park enjoys the challenge, but it's also important to Park Sandara to look back on the important things in life. Though with her ageless appearance, time seems to stop for her.
"Actually my debut wasn't that abrupt, I debuted when I was already 26 years old. Our team's youngest, (Gong) Minzy was just 16 years old when she debuted. To some extent, age matters, but we don't really care about it. 2NE1 as a team doesn't see ourselves as young girls, but I think that we have this feeling of needing to continue our music. However, now that I'm in my 30's, I also do think of what I'd do in the future. I'd really love to challenge myself in acting."
Of course, she doesn't want to leave 2NE1 to act alone. She believes that there is still a lot she can do as 2NE1's Sandara Park. But there are things that she wants to accomplish with the name Park Sandara, as well. She desires a lot.
"When I was young, though I was silent a lot, there were a lot of things that I wanted to do. Looking back at the past five years, I didn't even feel like time passed, there's still so much I want to do, like I don't want anything to be wasted time."
On the other hand, telling her about Wonder Girls' Sunye's marriage stirred something srange in her.
"Although I don't know her personally, I felt nervous and fidgety, but also excited at the same time, my heart felt really strange. But she looked really beautiful."
After being freed from the love-dating ban contract that the agency put on them within three years after debut, maybe this time would be a golden opportunity to try out something new. But for now, love seems to be vague since her focus now is on recording their new songs. Whether this will be a regular full album, or a mini album, for sure there will be a new style for Park Sandara as they sing new songs and do new performances. At first, facing this moment might have started off awkwardly, but now that she is faced with a familiar challenge, Sandara Park gains a confident look.

Alabama's newest offensive coordinator, Doug Nussmeier, has his work cut out for him, as he is taking over one of the three biggest positions in the best coaching staff in the nation. Keeping the Alabama Crimson Tide on top is a big job, but Nussmeier will have a lot of tools to work with.
Believe it or not, Nussmeier's predecessor, Jim McElwain, was quite good at what he did. He was sorely underrated by many critics and Alabama fans alike, though some of the criticism was well-deserved.
While he was with the Tide he kept the Alabama offense in the higher tiers of the SEC, including placing third in scoring offense (the only offensive statistic that really matters) in 2010 and 2011.
In his first season, Nussmeier will have more to work with than McElwain ever did (yes, that includes Mark Ingram, Julio Jones and Trent Richardson). He has a powerful stable of running backs, an army of top-notch receivers and a veteran national champion quarterback with the best offensive line in the country.
So, the tools are there, but what must Nussmeier do to utilize them all properly and keep the Tide on top?

Hotel is so so. Atmosphere is very dull. No food in time. Not worth.
Horrible room.. Bed bugs... Filthy toilets... Will never stay here again and won't recommend it to anyone!
After getting booking confirmation and full payment via hotels.com when I arrived at hotel by 11pm i get to know there is no room.
Par with what I expected. It was safe and the staff was moderately helpful.
For a 2 star hotel I did not expect much, and got what I expected. The hotel is okay for overnight but not more. The staff was fine and on top of it but the services were not great. There is no restaurant in the hotel and getting even a cup of tea takes 1/2 hour. the food I did order was bad. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that had no cheese. Just soggy bread and some veggies.There is no ice at all. When I arrived, my room had not been swept yet. Everyone is nice and helpful, it had good wi-fi, TV and air con. My shower did not work and found the linens much to be desired. This is fine for a quick one night but nothing more especially if you are expecting any food.

By now, everyone has seen the names of the top recruits in the country, the future Heisman and NFL MVP winners.
But every year there are a few players who show their true potential in college. Maybe no one gave them a shot in high school to excel at the next level, or maybe they are just way better than people thought.
This sideshow has 10 recruits I think are way underrated and will be household names around college football fans soon.
Feel free to comment and let me know if you think anyone else will be a breakout star, or if you don't agree with someone I listed.

Free School Meals Are Still the Best Measure of Deprivation
Free school meal eligibility is not a perfect measure of student disadvantage, but it's the best there is. Other measures, such as parental education or neighbourhood deprivation have also been used, but they are not as good at determining which schools are most in need.

Yesterday on Focal Point, American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer marked the anniversary of Roe v. Wade by predicting that America "will have to pay" for legal abortion: "It could be through civil war, it could be through anarchy, it could be through Muslim fundamentalists and terrorists attacks on the United States, but one way or another we cannot escape God's justice." He went on to argue that Planned Parenthood clinics are no different from Nazi death camps. "You see a Planned Parenthood clinic, just think Birkenau, just think Auschwitz,... MORE >

Operation Rescue head Troy Newman appeared on The Janet Mefferd Show yesterday to discuss the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and new tactics to recriminalize abortion and fight Planned Parenthood, making sure not to mention the growing support for Roe. Newman said that Operation Rescue and other anti-choice groups must act like the allied bombers who destroyed Nazi arms factories during World War II. Newman: I'll give you a little analogy; in 1943 the allied forces sent 1,500 bombers into Germany to destroy the ball-bearing factories and the aviation factories because they knew without... MORE >

Sometimes you really have to wonder whether anyone on the Religious Right has ever used YouTube before. Last month, conservative news outlets including Fox News and groups like Concerned Women for America jumped on a LifeNews post which alleged that Planned Parenthood was promoting ways to cover-up domestic abuse. They were upset that back in August, a Planned Parenthood-affiliated Facebook page posted a video by a British anti-domestic violence group entitled "How to look your best the morning after": Even the author of the original LifeNews article admits that the video, made...

Former Susan G. Komen executive Karen Handel, the Georgia Republican politician who has been largely credited with the cancer charity's disastrous decision last year to withdraw its grants to Planned Parenthood, spoke yesterday to the Family Research Council. Promoting her book about the episode, "Planned Bullyhood," Handel accused Planned Parenthood of launching an "unprecedented, premeditated, Mafia-style assault" on Komen. Further, she alleges that Planned Parenthood "literally co-opted the color pink" from Komen in a sinister "bait and... MORE >

As Kyle reported yesterday, right-wing activists are jumping on what they claim is definitive proof that Planned Parenthood is teaching young women to conceal bruises that result from domestic violence. Of course the charge is completely bogus. Planned Parenthood posted a video entitled "How to look your best the morning after" on one of its Facebook pages. The video, and title, were created by the British domestic abuse prevention group "Refuge" to draw attention to the issue and tell views to not "cover it up." However, an anti-choice website LifeNews... MORE >

Earlier today, Erick Erickson of Red State retweeted a tweet from Kristina Ribali, the Director of New Media at FreedomWorks, linking to a "disgusting" LifeNews.com article accusing Planned Parenthood of promoting a video that shows young women "how to cover up those nasty cuts and bruises that result from a beating." The video in question does, in fact, appear to be a demonstration from an obviously abused young woman attempting to conceal the bruises and lacerations on her face with make-up until she hears a noise off-screen and quickly turns off the camera ... at...

On today's edition of Liberty Counsel's "Faith and Freedom" radio program, Mat Staver took issue with the idea that Planned Parenthood is a women's health organization, asserting that it is nothing of the sort. In fact, said Staver, Planned Parenthood "is not interested in the health and well-being of women" but is really only interested in "their death agenda" and in "damaging the very core and foundation of who we are as Americans and a people of faith and values." Staver said that this nation needs to "erase this chapter of... MORE >

The former Susan G. Komen for the Cure executive who orchestrated the organization's controversial and short-lived break from Planned Parenthood earlier this year, is out with a new book claiming that the funding dispute was all Planned Parenthood's fault. In "Planned Bullyhood," Karen Handel claims that Planned Parenthood turned its back on a "gentlewomen's agreement" to not discuss the fact that Komen was withdrawing $680,000 a year in grants for breast cancer screenings through the organization's clinics and then turned on Komen in a PR blitz...

Abbey of Kells
The Abbey of Kells (Mainistir Cheanannais in Irish) is a former monastery in Kells, County Meath, Ireland, 40 miles (64 km) north of Dublin. It was founded in the early ninth century, and the Book of Kells was kept there during the later medieval and early modern periods before finally leaving the Abbey in the 1650s. Much of the Book of Kells may have been created there, but historians cannot be certain of the exact date and circumstances of its creation.
The Abbey of Kells was first founded by St. Columba ca. 554.[1] What some historians term a refounding happened in the early ninth century by Columban monks fleeing from Iona which was repeatedly raided by the Vikings. The site was a former Irish hill fort. In 814, Cellach, Abbot of Iona, retired to Kells. After further Viking raids, goods and relics from the abbey were transferred to other Columban houses inland, including Raphoe, Dunkeld and the Abbey of Kells. Some historians[who?] believe that the Book of Kells may have been either started in Iona and finished in Kells or written entirely in Kells by successive generation of monks.
The Vikings continually raided the Abbey during the tenth century and it was repeatedly sacked and pillaged. Despite the constant raids, the monks managed to keep the Book of Kells intact until 1006 when it was stolen from the shrine. A reference in the Annals of Ulster is generally believed to refer the theft of the Book of Kells and it relates that the manuscript was returned after two months without its cover. The force of the removal of the cover probably explains the missing illustrations at the beginning and end of the book.
The book was stored in the Abbey for the remainder of the Middle Ages. In the twelfth century, details of land charters for the abbey were copied onto blank pages of the Book of Kells as was common practice for the period. This is the earliest confirmed reference to its presence at the Abbey. Later in the same century, the monastery was dissolved with the abbey becoming a parish church and the Book of Kells continued to be kept there. Catholic landowners acquired the land.
The Book of Kells remained at Kells until the 1650s when Cromwell's troops were stationed in the town. At that point it was sent to Dublin for safekeeping. In 1661, the Book of Kells ended up in Trinity College, Dublin where it has stayed ever since.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Jim Thome said there was no doubt the ball he hit off the top of the left-field wall in the ninth inning Friday night was a home run.
"Absolutely," said Thome. "Looking at the replay, yeah. Everyone was saying that was a home run."
The Twins entered the ninth inning at Progressive Field trailing the Indians, 6-4. J.J. Hardy opened with an infield single against Chris Perez. Thome, pinch-hitting, sent a long drive off the top of the wall in left-center. The umpires called it a double, but manager Ron Gardenhire asked that they review it on replay.
The umpires checked it and the original call stood. Gardenhire argued the decision, which resulted in an automatic ejection.
Crew chief Gerry Davis declined to talk to The Plain Dealer before Saturday's game, but told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune on Friday night that "There was nothing that was clear and concise" enough to overturn the original decision.
"Third-base umpire Greg Gibson went out on the ball, ruled that it hit the yellow pad [on top of the wall]," said Davis. "When we got together, the other two guys had it hitting the pad as well. We went in to check ... from what we saw it hit the pad."
The ball must go over the yellow line to be a home run at Progressive Field.
SportsTime Ohio showed several inconclusive replays. The last one they showed, however, gave a clear view of the ball apparently hitting an object behind the pad and bouncing back onto the field.
"Rounding first, I thought it was a home run based on how the ball ricocheted," said Thome. "I know how that wall plays with the rail behind the fence. I've seen those bounces."
Both runs eventually scored on Alexi Casilla's one-out single to tie the score, 6-6. The Indians won, 7-6, on Matt LaPorta's homer in the bottom of the ninth. But the call cost Thome homer No. 578.
"When they reviewed it, I thought it was going to be a home run," said Thome. "To me, that's a call that probably shouldn't be missed. Credit the Indians. We tied it up and they ended up winning. But maybe if that's a home run, it changes the complexion of the game."
The Twins entered Saturday's game trailing Chicago by 1 1/2 games in the AL Central.
"When you're in a pennant race, these things become big," said Thome, who as the Indians' all-time home-run leader, has hit 184 homers at Progressive Field.
Hall of Famer: Kenny Lofton was inducted into the Indians Hall of Fame before Saturday's game. Indians Hall of Famers Bob Feller, Sam McDowell, Mike Hargrove, Andre Thornton, Sandy Alomar Jr. and Charlie Nagy were on hand to honor him.
Lofton walked in from center field, after unveiling his plaque behind the center-field fence, to a standing ovation. In his acceptance speech, he guaranteed Indians fans a championship.
He took a victory lap around the field sitting in the back seat of a Mercedes Benz convertible. Almost every Indians player was on the top step of the dugout applauding Lofton as he passed. Twins players applauded as well.
Britni Elise, a singer in Lofton's production company, sang the national anthem.
The late Cy Slapnicka was also inducted Saturday. He was a scout and general manager of the Indians who signed players such as Feller and Bob Lemon.
Testing, testing: Mitch Talbot and Anthony Reyes came through Friday's bullpen sessions in good shape.
Talbot, on the disabled list with a strained back, is scheduled to make a rehab start Monday at Class A Mahoning Valley. He can be activated Saturday.
Reyes, called back from a rehab assignment at Class AA Akron because of a sore back, is recovering from reconstructive surgery on his right elbow.
Good sign: LaPorta said he never had a walk-off hit of any kind in his career until this year. He's had three this season, one at Columbus and two with the Indians.
Finally: Casilla left Saturday's game with a left ankle injury. ... Former Indians pitcher Mudcat Grant was at the game Saturday as the Indians and Twins honored the Negro Leagues. The Indians wore the 1946 Cleveland Buckeye uniforms, while the Twins sported the 1909 St. Paul Gopher uniforms.

Cooley LLP is a law firm headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with offices in the United States, the United Kingdom and China. The firm's practice areas include technology, life sciences, clean technology, real estate, financial services, retail, and energy.[2]
Cooley was founded by Arthur Cooley and Louis Crowley in 1920 in San Francisco. In 1958, Cooley formed Draper, Gaither and Anderson, the first venture capital partnership to be organized on the West Coast. Also in the 1950s, Cooley formed Raychem and National Semiconductor, one of the original chip companies that gave "Silicon Valley" its name.[3] In 1971 the firm (then Cooley, Crowley, Gaither, Godward, Castro & Huddleson) began representing Disney in the controversial copyright and trademark infringement case Walt Disney Productions v. Air Pirates.[4][5] In the late 1980s, the firm moved into the tech area Palo Alto, from its then base in San Francisco.[6] In 1989, the firm (then Cooley, Godward, Castro, Huddleson & Tatum) facilitated the IPO of Qualcomm.[7] On October 31, 2006, Cooley LLP (then Cooley Godward) merged with Kronish Lieb Weiner & Hellman, which resulted in the firm growing from 440 lawyers to 550. In the announcement of the merger, the New York Times referred to Cooley as a "Leading Silicon Valley law firm".[8] In January 2009 however, the firm laid off 114 people from its offices, citing "the uncertain economy".[9][10]
Cooley has offices in 11 United States cities and Shanghai.[11] It also had an office in Kirkland, Washington, which it closed in the early 2000s.[12] In 2004 the firm also had plans to expand to London and Continental Europe after moving into the NYC and Washington DC markets.[13]
Cooley launched in London on January 12, 2015, creating a 55-lawyer practice and the firm's first office in Europe. Its lawyers were laterally hired from the London offices of Morrison & Foerster and Edwards Wildman Palmer, raiding the latter's entire office.
The American Lawyer has ranked Cooley number forty-seven in its annual ranking of U.S. law firms by gross revenue.[1] Top Legal 500 and the National Law Journal's NLJ 250 has ranked Cooley's practice areas from second through eighth tier in its national survey of law firms.[14] In addition, U.S. News and World Report nominated Cooley as the 2011–12 law firm of the year in biotechnology law.[15] In 2011, Cooley LLP was named U.S. Tax Court Firm of the Year by the International Tax Review.[16]
In 2003, according to Steve Hoare, Cooley faced "the prospect of sharing liability for the death of a teenager struck by a car driven by one of its associates". He wrote further that the associate's "firm may be held jointly responsible because questions have arisen over whether Wagner, who was an associate at the firm at the time, was working as a lawyer at the moment of the crash". Prior to the suit, the associate had pleaded guilty and served one year in prison.[17]

When the Professional Bull Riders Association brings its top-tier tour to Dallas this weekend, no one will be surprised to see big crowds.
After all, rodeo events are popular in Texas.
The PBR's Built Ford Tough Series stop at American Airlines Center on Jan. 24-25 is a natural fit.
But the same type of enthusiasm is a little unexpected in major metropolitan areas of the Northeast such as Washington D.C., New York City and Boston.
It wasn't such a stretch a half-century ago when the annual pro rodeo in Madison Square Garden was the sport's biggest event. In addition to competing in New York for a month, cowboys also worked a successful rodeo at the Boston Garden.
But by the time that I began covering rodeos in the mid-1980s, those high-profile shows in New York and Boston were a thing of the past.
Fast forward to today and western riding again is alive and well in the Northeast, thanks to the PBR.
On Jan. 2-3, the PBR's Ford Series opened the season in Baltimore and set attendance records. The association's top-tier tour also will return to Worcester, Mass., on May 1-3, where the event has been a success the past decade.
On Jan. 9-11, the PBR conducted a major tour stop at New York City's Madison Square Garden, which hosted a successful Ford Series event for a third year in a row.
Randy Bernard, the PBR's chief executive officer, said the New York City stop is a success for the same reasons the old Madison Square Garden Rodeo thrived in the 1940s and 1950s. At that time, famous film icons such as Gene Autry and Roy Rogers roped in the fans to watch pro rodeo legends such as Casey Tibbs, Jim Shoulders and Harry Tompkins.
Today, the PBR is a draw at Madison Square Garden because it features marquee bull riders such as defending world champion Guilherme Marchi, 2008 PBR World Finals average winner Robson Palermo, 2008 BFTS reserve champion and PBR rookie of the year Reese Cates, and J.B. Mauney, the popular Ford Series reserve champion who clinched the title last week in New York City and earned $30,245.
And the PBR thrives on aggressively promoting the world's top cowboys and bulls and having them face off in a dramatic show, which features pyrotechnics productions and rock music.
Sharron Shoulders, wife of the late seven-time world bull riding champion Jim Shoulders, said it's refreshing to watch the PBR in Madison Square Garden.
"They use their top bull riders to draw in fans," Shoulders said. "When Jim competed, the producers would use a big western movie star to get fans to come, but when they got in there, they really enjoyed watching the top rodeo cowboys compete. The fact that the PBR mainly uses their top bull riders to captivate fans says a lot for the PBR."
On the same week that they competed in New York City, star bull riders came to town early to promote this year's event. Cates appeared at the Garden during an NHL game betwen the Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers. He also joined Bernard and Mauney in ringing the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange. Cates was interviewed on the Rachael Ray Show.
"Whenever people see bull riders on the Rachael Ray Show and at the New York Stock Exchange, they get the opportunity to learn about the personality of a bull rider, and realize that we're not just a bunch of dumb rednecks trying to stay on the back of a bull," Cates said. "We're pretty educated people who come here for a purpose, and it's not just to ride bulls."
That's the right way to promote the PBR, said Tompkins, a legendary roughstock rider. Tompkins said he and other top cowboys made the same kind of media appearances back then to promote the Madison Square Garden Rodeo.
Tompkins, a native of Peekskill, N.Y., who lived in Dublin, Texas, during his heyday, said he once appeared on the popular game show ''To Tell the Truth'' to help promote the New York City rodeo. The basic premise of the show consisted of a panel of celebrities identifying a contestant from a choice of three people. But when Tompkins appeared on the show, no one on the celebrity panel believed he was a bull rider with a gold buckle when he told them he was a New York native.
"That threw them off right away," Tompkins said. "They would say, 'How could he be from New York and be a world champion?'"
n Smith roping tough: The SandHills Stock Show in Odessa features a special performance called "Super Tuesday'', which draws many of the world's top ropers. During this year's competition Jan. 6, defending world tie-down roping champion Stran Smith of Childress edged former Wrangler National Finals Rodeo qualifier Jeff Chapman of Athens in the popular event, winning $3,000.
