CORVALLIS - Oregon State coach Mike Riley took some time off last week, visiting friends in San Diego, but it's doubtful his mind strayed too far from the start of spring practice this afternoon.
"This is where we start building our identity,'' said Riley, who was Pacific 10 Conference Coach of the Year in the wake of OSU's surprising (to the prognosticators) 9-4 season and No. 18 final ranking.
The national media has latched onto OSU's Rodgers brothers - especially Jacquizz - and given the usually-ignored Beavers some pre-season love going into 2009.
But Riley knows this is a roll-up-your-sleeves kind of spring as the program looks to replace some star players on offense and practically the entire defense, which had some, uh, problems stopping arch-rival Oregon's spread in the Civil War game.
It is tempting to say, given the Beavers' success since 2006 and the talented young players itching to grab the spotlight, that OSU will keep rolling along and pick up where it left off - which was one tantalizing victory away from the Rose Bowl.
"We've established the foundation and we've got a good thing going here,'' said Riley.
"We want to keep building on that.''
OSU is one of only 10 Division I programs to be ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for three straight years (28-12 record, three bowl wins) and the Beavers' 27-21 upset of No. 1-ranked USC last September was an instant ESPN Classic. No other team in the nation can say it has beaten USC two out of the last three years.
What does all of that mean in April and May? Not much.
Riley is a firm believer that the fast finishes and the stunning upsets and the bowl wins and the national rankings only happen through hard work in the spring, dedicated summer conditioning drills, and the rigors of Fall camp.
So today's practice in the Truax center is a first step.
The reality is, Riley's 2009 team is filled with question marks and he hopes those questions will begin to be answered in the coming weeks, as the Beavers build to their May 2 Spring Game at Reser Stadium.
"We've got a lot of work to do, but I'm excited to see how it unfolds,'' said Riley.
Aside from replacing outstanding players such as wide receiver Sammie Stroughter, left tackle Andy Levitre, defensive ends Slade Norris and Victor Butler, middle linebacker Bryant Cornell and the entire secondary, the Beavers must take every precaution in making sure there are no major medical issues in the Fall.
Starting quarterback Lyle Moevao, who figured to have a battle on his hands holding off No. 2 Sean Canfield, will miss spring ball after having off-season shoulder surgery.
That could give Canfield a big edge in the Fall.
Riley expects Moevao to be 100 percent by August, and in the meantime Canfield, Ryan Katz, Virginia transfer Peter Lalich and Justin Engstrom will get the snaps.
Riley envisions some difficult decisions ahead on the quarterback issue (and Lalich is a wild card) but says, "we're just going to let it play out. ... Lyle will get better, and hopefully we go into the season with two guys who can win games in this league.''
Riley said he could tell that Moevao didn't have all of his arm strength during OSU's 3-0 win over Pittsburgh in the Sun Bowl.
More obvious to a national audience on CBS was the impact of the Beavers being without the Rodgers brothers. Quizz - the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year - had a bad shoulder, and wide receiver James had broken his collarbone in the Oregon game.
Riley said the brothers are nearly at full health, but no chances will be taken in the spring.
The Rodgers brothers will be in uniform, but are likely to see little or no contact work.
"Jacquizz doesn't need any practice being tackled,'' said Riley.
Quick hits: Mike Remmers (6-foot-4, 286) is penciled in to replace Levitre at left tackle and another ex-Jesuit prep, Michael Lamb (6-3, 267) could replace Speer at left guard. ... OSU must find a starter at right tackle, where redshirt freshman Colin Kelly and junior Timi Oshinowo are the likely candidates. ... with the OSU future of tailback Jeremy Francis (in Florida attending to family medical issues) in question, this is an important spring for backup Ryan McCants. ... the impact of losing Stroughter and slotback Shane Morales will be lessened if touted redshirt freshmen Jordan Bishop, Geno Munoz and Kevan Walker are as good as advertised. ... ex-Lake Oswego prep Gabe Miller has switched positions from tight end to defensive end. ... ex-Central Catholic prep Kevin Frahm and Ben Terry are penciled in at defensive end. ... new faces to watch at that position include Miller, Matt LaGrone, and Taylor Henry. ... OSU's next marquee middle linebacker could be David Pa'aluhi. .. the four new starters in the secondary could be Tim Clark (left corner), Suaesi Tuimaunei (safety), Lance Mitchell (safety), and Patrick Henderson (rigth corner). ... sophomore Cameron Collins could be a rising star at safety and two of the fastest players on the team are cornerback hopefuls Brandin Hardin and former Canadian high school track star Keynan Parker.
SPLIT END (X receiver)
Darrell Catchings (5-11, 179 Jr.)
Damola Adeniji (6-3, 215 Sr.)
Jordan Bishop (6-3, 195 RS Fr.)
Geno Munoz (6-0, 187 RS Fr.)
Comment: Catchings needs to make a significant jump to hold off the kids. Riley loves the upside of RS freshmen Bishop, Munoz, and Walker. ... Adeniji, who can go up and get the ball in a crowd, is a wild card.
Casey Kjos (6-2, 215 Jr.)
Kevan Walker (6-0, 195 RS Fr.)
Comment: This was a key position last season because Shane Morales was so good at being a sure-handed possession guy who would move the chains on third down. You would think Walker would be able to beat out Kjos, but as QB Sean Canfield said before spring ball, "I don't know what it is, but Casey looks more athletic to me.'' ... Riley says of Kjos, "physically and mentally he's a lot like Shane.''
Mike Remmers (6-4, 286 soph.)
Geoff Garner (6-6, 280 Fr.)
Michael Philipp (6-3, 320 Fr.)
Comment: Who steps in for NFL-bound Andy Levitre? For now, Remmers is the guy. He has competition, and there is always the chance pure freshman Michael Philipp could make a move. Riley is loathe to start a true freshman at LT, but Philipp at least warrants a chance. "He's either a starter or a redshirt, there's no in-between,'' said Riley. "We are not going to waste a year with Michael.'' ... key thing to remember here, Michael's mom wants him to redshirt, too.
Michael Lamb (6-3, 267 soph.)
Brent McNeil (6-3, 325 Jr.)
Comment: Based on pedigree, McNeil probably would be a No. 1 here, but OSU doesn't award starting positions based on pedigree and potential. .. McNeil fought injury issues last season and according to Riley now he's facing some personal issues which could slow his progress. ... if Lamb starts, replacing Adam Speer, it gives OSU a pair of ex-Jesuit players on the left side.
Alex Linnenkohl (6-2, 288 Jr.)
Grant Johnson (6-3, 265 soph.)
Comment: OSU line coach Mike Cavanaugh likes Linnenkohl, who seized hold of the position in camp last summer and kept it. If he keeps progressing he's going to be a good one.
Gregg Peat (6-3, 296 Sr.)
Burke Ellis (6-4, 249 soph.)
Comment: Peat seems solid here, but there is always the chance Cav shuffles bodies around to get the best athletes on the field. And there are some big, talented (and brainy) linemen joining this program.
Colin Kelly (6-4, 266 RS Fr.)
Timi Oshinowo (6-6, 283 Jr.)
Wilder McAndrews (6-4, 290 Jr.)
Comment: Riley said he's excited to see what Kelly, from Kelso, Wash., does this spring with a chance to start. ... injuries have held McAndrews back. He is recovering from wrist surgery and likely won't participate in spring ball. The coaches think Kelly has a lot of potential. ... Timi O. may start spring as No. 1 here because of his length of service, but we think Kelly is the guy.
Howard Croom (6-3, 240 Sr.)
Brady Camp (6-4, 258 Jr.)
Colby Prince (6-3, 250 RS frosh)
Comment: A big TE who can run and catch would make OSU's offense even more difficult for opponents. But the Beavers haven't had a sure-thing TE in the red zone since Joe Newton graduated. ... can Croom take the next step? Will it hurt this group to lose Gabe Miller to another position (defensive end)?
John Reese (6-3, 240 Sr.)
Joe Halahuni ((6-2, 254 soph.)
Comment: Riley hopes somebody makes a jump here. ... ex-LB Will Darkins is switching positions to RB/FB and will try to become the next Andy Stewart on this team. ... Stewart made the roster after an all-school tryout and turned into a heart-and-soul guy who contributed.
Sean Canfield (6-4, 220 Sr.)
X - Lyle Moevao (5-11, 220 Jr.)
Peter Lalich (6-4, 229 Jr.)
Ryan Katz (6-1, 208 RS Fr.)
Justin Engstrom (6-5, 208 soph.)
Comment: Canfield is No. 1 with Moevao sitting out following surgery on his right shoulder. Coaches will get a long look at Virginia transfer Lalich, and the strong-armed Katz, who left HS early to join the team last year. ... Canfield was going to make a big run at Moevao even if Moevao had been healthy. This just makes Fall camp more interesting.
Jacquizz Rodgers (5-7, 193 soph.)
Ryan McCants (6-1, 240 soph.)
X- Jeremy Francis (5-11, 218 Sr.)
Jovan Stevenson (5-11, 195 Fr.)
Comment: Quizz will be babied in the spring because he's coming off shoulder surgery. OSU doesn't know if Francis - who left school to tend to his ailing mom in Florida - will be returning. Spring and Fall will be crucial to McCants, because he needs to prove that he can perform as the No. 2 back behind Quizz. ... mixed signals on Francis' return. Riley seems skeptical it will happen, while others say there's a good shot he'll be back in time to be eligible for Fall. .. if you watched the Sun Bowl, you want Francis back.
FLANKER (Z receiver)
James Rodgers (5-7, 185 Jr.)
Darrell Catchings (5-11, 179 Jr.)
X- Reggie Dunn (5-11, 185 soph.)
Kyle Brown (6-4, 208 Jr.)
Markus Wheaton (6-1, 175 Fr.)
Comment: James Rodgers, itching to play, is coming off surgery to repair a broken collarbone. He won't be breaking much of a sweat in the spring. ... if Dunn (not playing spring ball) is as good as advertised, he should play somewhere given his experience and his ability level. Brown is hurt again. ... Wheaton, the cousin of famous UO player Kenny Wheaton, was a prized recruit who might be a serious threat to play if the team didn't already have Munoz, Bishop, and Walker.
Kevin Frahm (6-2, 255 soph.)
Gabe Miller (6-3, 231 Jr.)
Andrew Seumalo (6-3, 238 RS Fr.)
Comment: TE Gabe Miller at DE? Riley says that is where he envisioned Miller playing when OSU recruited him. ... JC All-America defensive end Simi Kuli's appearance on campus seems - yes you've heard this before - a longshot.
Stephen Paea (6-1, 293 Jr.)
Sioeli Nau (6-2, 307 Sr.)
Jesse Fifita (6-1, 276 RS Fr.)
Comment: Paea was under the radar last season, until opponents discovered how strong he was. This could be his breakout season in the Pac-10 but let's see how this unfolds with Paea no longer able to play alongside the under-rated Pernnell Booth, who used up his eligibility.
Mitchel Hunt (6-2, 271 Jr.)]
Brennan Olander (6-1, 274 Jr.)
Latu Moala (6-1, 294 Sr.)
Comment: D-line coach Joe Seumalo appears to have the depth in the interior to rotate a lot of bodies. Huge cast of characters at DT who could contribute, some of them with names we can't begin to pronounce, let alone spell.
Ben Terry ((6-2, 243 Sr.)
Evan Hull (6-4, 256 Jr.)
Matt LaGrone (6-6, 240 RS Jr.)
Taylor Henry (6-1, 222 RS Fr.)
Comment: Terry needs to make the next step to be a force. LaGrone is the wild card here, an interesting story who might turn into a huge surprise at the position. ... Riley said Henry's speed will excite OSU fans. Henry could be a situational third-down pass-rush specalist, like Slade Norris and Victor Butler in the past.
Keaton Kristick (6-3, 226 Sr.)
Zane Norris (6-2, 200 RS Fr.)
Comment: Kristick is one of the top players in the Pac-10 at his position. In a recent TV interview Kristick said one of his biggest pet peeves is people who chew with their mouths open. Says he would be a better person if he wasn't addicted to video games and he feels a close connection to actress Scarlett Johansson. Where else would you get this kind of dish?
David Pa'aluhi (5-11, 229 soph.)
Tony Wilson (6-1, 219 RS Fr.)
Keo Camat (6-2, 233 Jr.)
Comment: Will Pa'aluhi have the instincts and the smarts of previous OSU MLBs? Only way to find out is to play him. ... Riley seems high on Wilson, too, and is eager to see how this position battle plays out.
Dwight Roberson (6-0, 238 Jr.) or
Keith Pankey (6-0, 211 Jr.)
Kameron Krebs (6-0, 207 RS Fr.)
Walker Vave (6-2, 230 Jr.)
Comment: Riley said plans now call for Pankey and Roberson to share the position again. Roberson seems the more athletic of the pair. ... Krebs and Vave may have a say in this thing, too.
Tim Clark (6-0, 170 Sr.)
Brandon Hardin (6-2, 206 soph.)
James Dockery (6-1, 175 Jr.)
Comment: OSU loses FOUR STARTERS in the secondary. "Always a concern,'' said Riley. ... two big questions here. Is Clark ready to be a team leader in the secondary and take over at corner? And when does Hardin's speed and athletic ability translate into taking over somewhere? "We could move (Hardin) into safety, but he's so fast and he's got such good ball skills, we've got to play it out at corner with him,'' said Riley.
Suaesi Tuimaunei (6-1, 208 Jr.)
Cameron Collins (6-2, 216 soph.)
Comment: The Oregon game exposed OSU's lack of quickness at this position last November. Starting Tuimaunei (or Collins) and Mitchell could be an upgrade in terms of athleticism and speed. Then again, Greg Laybourn was all over the field and led the Pac-10 in tackles. ... Collins, who could easily play OLB on this team, seems a sure-fire star of the future in the program, on and off the field.
Lance Mitchell (6-2, 205 soph.)
Josh LaGrone (6-1, 181 RS Fr.)
Anthony Watkins (6-1, 213 RS Fr.)
Comment: Riley said the secondary is a major concern because it is always somewhat scary to replace all four starters (Lewis, Afalava, Laybourn and Hughes all gone). ... Riley said he is "excited'' about LaGrone's potential.
Patrick Henderson (5-10, 175 Sr.)
Keynan Parker (5-11, 168 RS Fr.)
David Ross (6-0, 185 soph.)
Comment: It's Patrick's job going into spring practice, but there are several players who could make a push at one of the CB spots. "It's going to be very interesting,'' said Riley. ... a player to watch out for might be Parker, said Riley. ... in terms of pure foot speed, a CB duo of Hardin and Parker (the Canadian schoolboy track star) would be off the charts.

Building Beauty: Metal worker Shea Scully crafts stunning art from basic objects.
By Barry Wise Smith
Shea Scully sees beauty in unusual places. Recently on U.S. 31, Scully spotted a pile of discarded fiberglass rods on the side of the road and dodged traffic to load them in his truck and take them back to his workshop in northeast Birmingham. "I'm always looking for interesting shapes," he says. The rods could end up as part of a dynamic kinetic sculpture or large-scale light fixture.
Drawn into the art world by Mavis, a ballet dancer and actor, Scully's first job was as a set builder for the Seattle Children's Theatre. Then fate stepped in and while on a walk, Scully passed the workshop of Gulassa & Company, a high-end architectural fabrication business. After approaching the owner, Scully embarked on what he refers to as his "graduate work." Alongside 20 to 25 artisans — metalworkers, woodworkers, glass blowers, graphic designers, and more — Scully learned the principles of machine work and fabrication.
"It was a great artistic atmosphere," Scully remembers. "I was a sponge, soaking up everything I could. That's where I learned my aesthetic." It's an aesthetic he describes as modernist/minimalist, mixing natural and industrial materials.
When son Joe was born, the Scullys, who welcomed daughter Guinevere four years later, decided they wanted their kids to grow up closer to their families and plotted a move back south, choosing Birmingham for its proximity to Shea's family in Mississippi and Mavis' in Kentucky. On arrival, Shea started his business, Stolisma, focusing on custom architectural work. Scully says he chose Stolisma, the Greek word for "adornment," because "I'm creating jewelry for your home."
He also enjoys restoration work "because it ties me to the craftsmanship of the past." In fall 2010, a tree fell on the family's Crestwood home, nearly destroying it. Scully turned the tragedy into triumph, using the necessary renovation project as a showcase for his creativity and skill. The home now showcases molded metal sinks, a steel cable barrier separating the loft space and more. "For years, I'd been doing all these great things in other people's homes. I finally was able to do them in my own house."
Whether working with an architect or designer or on something of his own design, Scully enjoys the challenge of creating something from nothing. What inspires him? "The potential and possibility of a form locked inside a normal object and bringing that out," he says. "Like a carver or sculptor, I have to release the vision in my head onto a solid structure."
In the future, Scully would like to move his workshop to Avondale. "Things are starting to pop there with the brewery and other new businesses," he says. "It feels like a good place to be." Eventually he would like to create a live-work space where Mavis could conduct dance and acting workshops while Shea would teach metalworking classes. "Students might learn how to build a canoe and then take it out on the Cahaba River," he says. "They would learn the processes and then get to enjoy the end product."
Whatever the future, Scully plans to continue bringing beauty to the world. He says, "My work is a passion. It's what I love."

September 30, 2008
Dear Eric,
As the 2008 season ended Sunday, I thought back to the end of Spring Training when our team was so unsettled and many people forecasted dire results for the Giants. We have to admit that we are all pleasantly surprised at how well our club came together over the final two months of the season. We can proudly tell you that the Giants organization is now in a much stronger position to return to our winning ways than we were six short months ago.
We entered the 2008 season with three main goals and I think that by staying the course throughout the year, we have been able to make great strides towards returning the Giants to winning seasons and a post season berth in the near future. Our goals remain:
- To develop more young players from within our organization.
- To change the team's culture in the clubhouse and on the field.
- To improve our level of talent on the field. (Especially in the bullpen and adding power to the lineup in 2009).
Several young players stepped to the forefront this season and have a real chance at becoming frontline players for the Giants in 2009 and beyond. Tim Lincecum and Brian Wilson are two players that we were learning about last season and they took quantum leaps this year, with both earning All-Star honors and one being the frontrunner for the Cy Young Award. Pablo Sandoval, Emmanuel Burriss, Travis Ishikawa, Fred Lewis, and Nate Schierholtz have all positioned themselves to be in our starting lineup in 2009.
On the mound, Jonathan Sanchez, Sergio Romo and Alex Hinshaw each made great strides in their development and figure prominently in our plans. We also look forward to strong performances by Barry Zito and Matt Cain, as well as the return of Noah Lowry and Merkin Valdez to bolster our staff next season.
Following the trade deadline, Bruce Bochy and I made a concerted effort to play the younger players for the majority of the final two months of the season. We were rewarded for that decision as we were able to see how these young men could handle the daily rigors of the Major League schedule and the majority of them responded extremely well. So well, in fact, that the Giants posted a 28-27 record from August 1 on, which was seventh best in the National League and second best in the NL West.
Bruce and his staff are to be commended for their efforts in installing a new work ethic and clubhouse atmosphere with this team. With 16 players making their Major League debuts, and on average those players playing only 88 games at the double- or triple-A level, the coaching staff was doing an extraordinary amount of teaching at the big league level. In all my years of professional baseball, this is the hardest working group of professionals I have seen. For example, they were the only team to take infield on a regular basis. They have willingly put so much time on the field for early and extra work to improve the level of play for themselves and the team.
Whether our players are working on the fundamentals of hitting, base running or fielding, we want the game to become second nature to them so that they can play an aggressive style of baseball. I have noticed that this year's team has much improved team speed over our recent clubs, which has helped us not only to put pressure on opposing defenses, but also enabled us to expand our defensive range.
For the Giants to be competitive in 2009, and to supplement our strong starting rotation, we will need to acquire some veteran arms for the bullpen and to add some sorely missed power to our lineup. We will address these areas of need either through free agency, trade or our minor league system. Perhaps Sandoval (23 home runs in the minors and majors) Ishikawa (27 home runs in the minors and majors) and Schierholtz (19 home runs in the minors and majors) will add some much needed pop to our lineup next year, but we are still looking to improve.
As for free agency, the Giants will be very selective this winter. We are only interested in players who fit into our long-term plans, while owning a strong work ethic. Aaron Rowand and Bengie Molina are two of our most recent free agent acquisitions who embody the type of players we are looking to add to our club. With the young core of this club under the Giants' contractual control through at least 2011 (Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson, Romo, Hinshaw, Sandoval, Burriss, Ishikawa, Lewis and Schierholtz), we will have a very discerning eye for help from outside the organization.
We will thoroughly explore any and all trade scenarios that would improve our lineup. Ultimately, we will be reluctant to trade away "the future."
After seeing many young players make a rapid ascent through our farm system to the big leagues this season, some of our most recent draft picks could be playing for San Francisco in the very near future. Our top two picks in 2007, Madison Bumgarner (15-3, 1.46 ERA) and Tim Alderson (13-4, 2.79 ERA), had tremendous minor league seasons and are definitely on the fast track. This year, our four top draft picks were college players – including Buster Posey, winner of the Golden Spikes Award, given to the best college player in the nation. (Tim Lincecum won this award in 2006). Given their experience and success at the collegiate level, they all have the potential to move through the ranks very quickly.
While I know that parts of the 2008 season were very trying, I want to personally thank you for staying the course. Hopefully, we can expect winning baseball and October baseball returning to AT&T Park in the very near future.
Brian R. Sabean
Senior Vice President and General Manager

Review rating: Three out of five stars
Gary LeVox must have grown up with a Steve Perry poster hanging over his bed.
Or maybe the lead singer of Rascal Flatts is just naturally gifted with an icicle-sharp tenor that's reminiscent of Journey's heyday.
The group's 9 p.m. show in Pelham employed many of the trappings bands reveled in during the 1970s -- smoke machines, fireworks sprays, an elaborately constructed set, a Technicolor light show -- along with those pointed, Perry-esque vocals.
LeVox isn't the only singer in Rascal Flatts; bassist Jay DeMarcus and guitarist Joe Don Rooney took a few leads during the 100-minute show and provided the trio's trademark harmonies. Still, LeVox's vocal contributions were the most potent ones, especially during hits such as "Take Me There," "Me and My Gang," "What Hurts the Most" and "Bless the Broken Road."
Rascal Flatts was backed by a five-member touring band that included Birmingham drummer Jim Riley. He was allowed to sing the first few lines of one song, "You," and acquitted himself admirably.
But whenever LeVox opened his mouth, Perry's influence loomed like a benevolent ancestor. And when the Rascal Flatts song "He Ain't the Leavin' Kind" moved into a soaring snippet of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'," well, the comparison was inescapable.
Perhaps it's not so odd that an arena-rock veteran would have such an impact on these country-pop stars. Both Journey and Rascal Flatts are slick and polished crowd-pleasers. The mainstream messages in their songs clutch at the public's hearts, expressing simple, clear feelings such as optimism, sadness, joy or regret.
Rascal Flatts even had its own guitar-god wannabe in Rooney, who closed his eyes during solos and struck the traditional poses with gusto. He wasn't bad, although Neal Schon or Eddie Van Halen would have shredded him in a duel.
Here's the bottom line: Arena rock and contemporary country are united by a devotion to formula. On Thursday, as always, Rascal Flatts fit itself neatly into a bright, tight music style that does extremely well on today's radio stations.
That's why about 10,000 people left their homes on a rainy night to hear Rascal Flatts at the Verizon Center. The place was nearly packed, and LeVox reached the high notes effortlessly.
Journey fans, you should have been there.

Inquest rules on gay teen goaded to suicide by baying Derby mob

Shocking display of mob rule. If those people that videod the incident uploaded it to You Tube and other social networking sites, then surely the police could trace the upload back to its source? This incident beggars belief!
I don't know if the taunts would have made any difference, but these 'people' sure didn't help Sean or the cops trying to help him. It makes you wonder if as a species we should have a future.
'The city lost its humanity for a period of time that day'! Probably the veneer of humanity is less than skin-deep, anyway. Is anything else to be expected from a baying mob? This police officer sounds like an innocent soul.
The brave nasties who taunted a distressed young man should be tracked down or at least the 'communities' from which they hail ie Derby should be bombarded with messages of disgust. Such inhumanity demeans us all and erodes what ever bit of cultural, spiritual values that permits us compassion. Shame on these people. I agree that it is possible to trace these people. If there's enough will to do so…
It is DEAD EASY for the police to track down the scum who uploaded their filth to You Tube so if nothing happens we will know that the police and the Authorities in Derby DELIBERATELY failed to track down and punish them.
The city may have permanently lost its humanity
Poor boy. The less you need when you are in pain is someone mocking and deriding you. A wonderful oportunity of a life, lost.
Pope Benedict XVI is smilling!!!
Most likely. Just another way the church "protects life – its smokescreen for its horrible crimes from its inception.
Surely the police could have cordoned off the area to stop the idiots jeering at Shaun? Was that too much to ask? And why wasn't
there something on the ground to protect him if he did jump?
I find it amazing that the police say they cannot trace the scum
mocking Shaun. I hope they rot in hell – for ever.
Sleep tight Shaun.
What a nightmare this was for young Shaun Dykes.
Suicide is all too common in the GLBT communities and the cause is exactly what happened here. Taunting, the unending refrain of hatred and contempt that emanates from christist pulpits and the preaching of rightist mullahs and gets repeated by lumpen types.
We've all experienced it and for far too many it's accompanied by abandonment by parents and friends and all the demoralization and injury resulting from homelessness. Then they face the exploitation of police and pimps (often the same people), drug and alcohol use and bug chasing. It takes a terrible toll.
Every time this happens we should call for the widespread use of hate crime laws to suppress cult centers and right wing political groups that preach hate against us. Especially the catholic cult, where most it comes from.
Oh calm down for gods sake.
Point 1 – the so called 'baying crowd' had no knowledge the lad was gay or he was depressed or the reasons behind his desire to committ suicide
Point 2 – He was on the roof of a landmark, brand new and focal point of the city with a large police present.
Point 3 – Look at from the 'baying crowd' side, if your going to deliberately put yourself in the full public view and your intention is to what your actually doing – you cant blame the mindless numpties for shouting vile things to him – what do football crowds do every Sat afternoon – crowds are inherently vile.
Now why he did it should be investigated and guilty parties brought to book.
brought to the tower of london. Not sure if they hanged people there or simply used an ax.
I'd rather they did what the catholic church did through much of history – when its power was threatened
Torture and murder.
I think that the taunters should be punished, what they did was horrible. However, how you track them down is another question. The people filming with cellphones are not necessarily the ones doing the taunting.
All of this says a lot about the world today. Shame shame shame.
Hungerford Bridge, London. Police were doing their best to talk down a man. Again, jump, get on with it, put on a show… They were genuinely excited at the prospect of watching someone die. How's about we make it a Crime to Incite Someone to Suicide or Self Harm? Sentence? Next time I'll YouTube the hecklers.

Leonard Nimoy doesn't think he's needed in 'Star Trek' sequel
Like his former "Star Trek" co-star William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy is enjoying a late career renaissance. The actor and director's return as Spock was one of the joys of J.J. Abrams "Star Trek" blockbuster this past summer and he'll be back on Abrams TV show "Fringe" tonight as the mysterious William Bell.
Speaking in a conference call to reporters yesterday, MSN TV reports Nimoy answered some questions on whether Spock would make a return in the highly anticipated "Star Trek" sequel.
Nimoy was quoted as saying, ""I frankly doubt that I will be called upon again. I think I was useful in the last film to help bridge between the original characters, the original actors, and the new cast. They have a wonderful new cast in place, and I'm sure they'll move ahead with them. I don't see, at the moment, why they would need me in the next film, although, if they called me, I'd be happy to have a conversation about it."
The last film ended with Nimoy's Spock trapped in the alternate time stream of the new "Trek" universe and on his way to help colonize a new Vulcan after his home planet's dramatic destruction.
Nimoy, who says he's had a "wonderful" time returning to acting, also glowed over working on the last "Trek" feature.
"The 'Star Trek' movie was a joy to do," Nimoy told the reporters. "I admire the production team that made the film. I admire the new cast. Zachary Quinto I thought was a great choice for the new Spock, and it was a pleasure to work with him and with all the other people on the project."
The upcoming and untitled "Star Trek" sequel is currently being written by co-producers Robert Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof. Paramount Pictures expects to release the flick sometime in the summer of 2011.
"Fringe" airs Thursday nights at 9 p.m. on Fox.

The Height Of Provocation
Yesterday was an interesting day in the Lok Sabha. After LK Advani let his thoughts tumble out of his mouth and called the UPA government 'illegitimate', Sonia Gandhi lost it and made him apologize in Parliament. It might have gone down as just another minor scuffle (after all, our Parliamentarians don't always agree), but for what happened afterwards. Manmohan Singh himself came out and said that Advani's statement was 'disgraceful'.
For me, this is the height of provocation: Advani saying something which could actually make MMS change his default silent mode and say something negative. Then I started thinking that the height of provocation would actually be different for different people, and make them do different things. Here are a few examples:
1. Sunny Leone - too much Bollywood: Anyone who has seen Jism 2 will know that Sunny Leone was covered up for most of it. And she's reportedly committed to doing Bollywood movies for another couple of years, at least. Now, every additional movie that she does will mean having to wear clothes in front of the camera, and this is the exact opposite of what she's been used to, and it will irritate her more and more. One day, she will snap and go back to her roots, creating the biggest porn movie of all time. Her fans might not complain.
2. Obama - too many meetings: Barack Obama is unlike any other US President in recent history; he is different from most heads of state worldwide, too. He is still young and energetic, and such a person is forced to attend meetings with old, boring heads of state (including the late, lamented Kim Jong Il and the dynamic, driven Pratibha Patil). Every such meeting spent mouthing meaningless niceties and eating strange cuisines must raise his temperature another degree. One day, he will meet the President of Somalia and will go mad and nuke the entire world.
Hang on, he might do that without provocation, too...
3. Anna Hazare - anything: Mr. Hazare does not strike me as the most good-tempered man around. An astonishingly large number of things can set him off - other people drinking, other people being unemployed, other people not going to school, the government, any government, any political party, corruption, Baba Ramdev's beard...the list goes on. When pretty much anything in the world can make you go on a fast or beat someone up, provocation is a way of life. He should audition for the Hulk's role in Avengers 2.
4. Tim Cook - comparison with Steve Jobs: Tim Cook doesn't merely have big shoes to fill; he has Shaquille size shoes to fill. Whenever he gives a keynote speech or releases a successful product or announces record earnings, the press and the people are always going "Steve would have been better, I wish he were still with us". And it doesn't look like they're stopping anytime soon. One day, Mr. Cook will have had enough, and he will release a troll version of the iPhone 7, which costs $1000 and has all the features and design of a Nokia 1100. Apple fanboys will buy it anyway, and it might take a full week before they realize what happened to them.
5. Mayawati - statue removal: Mayawati was removed unceremoniously from power, but that's not the worst thing that happened to her. The new government reportedly quietly had two statues removed, and they publicly demolished one last week (of course, they had to reinstall it after riot threats). You've got to believe that Akhilesh will celebrate every new month in office with an attempt to remove one more statue of the most beautiful woman in the world.
And, after a certain number has been removed, she would have had enough, and will bring lawlessness, murder and arson to Uttar Pradesh, all those wonderful things that it hasn't seen enough of since she was in office.

Syracuse, N.Y. – It was just last week that Steve Grilli, the former big leaguer who lives in Baldwinsville, shook his head while discussing Tommy Milone, the left-handed whiz-bang of the Syracuse Chiefs.
"Sometimes," Grilli said, "people can't see things right in front of their noses."
He was speaking of Milone's numbers with the Chiefs, which now stand at 8-5 with a 3.02 earned run average . . . and with a stunning 113/8 ratio of strikeouts-to-walks in 111 innings pitched. And he was wondering why the kid, who leads the International League in whiffs, was still in the minor leagues.
Which inspired a related question: Why was Grilli's son, Jason, still down on the farm (albeit, in a different barn at Lehigh Valley) with Milone?
"I had a scout tell me just the other day," the elder Grilli said, "that Jason would be back in the big leagues by the end of next week. I asked him, 'Can you guarantee that?' He just laughed."
Well, it's happened. As predicted by that beef merchant -- and at long last -- Jason Grilli has returned to The Show, as he'll be suiting up for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night at PNC Park where the St. Louis Cardinals (and Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday and Lance Berkman) will be waiting smack dab in the middle of the National League Central's terrific divisional race.
After posting a 4-1 record (including a 1.93 ERA) for the IronPigs in 28 games -- and allowing International League hitters to bat only .028 with runners in scoring position against him -- Grilli, acquired by Pittsburgh from the Philadelphia organization earlier this week, has been returned to presumed rightful place.
And one has to muse, as Steve Grilli does of Milone, why it sometimes takes people so long to see things right in front of their noses.
Grilli, the son? He's 34 now and will pitch over this weekend for his sixth major-league outfit after having previously tossed for the Marlins, White Sox, Tigers (in the World Series, no less), Rockies and Rangers. Interesting, Jason's manager with the Pirates will be Clint Hurdle, for whom he played in Colorado . . . and as familiarity usually beats the alternative, this would appear to be a good thing.
In any event, Grilli's promotion to the big leagues (overdue as it may have been) makes for a happy story. And here is why: After being chosen by San Francisco out of Seton Hall as the No. 4 overall pick in the 1997 draft, Jason -- a graduate of C.W. Baker High School in Baldwinsville -- has grinded through a mix of baseball's highs and lows . . . through trades and a release and stints in free agency . . . through injuries and surgeries and rehabilitations.
And now he's being rewarded for his perseverance (and, too, for his production).
Indeed, Grilli's baseball journey has taken him to Fresno, Shreveport, Fresno (again), Calgary, Portland, Calgary (again), Gulf Coast, Brevard County, Calgary (again), Jupiter, Albuquerque, Charlotte, Toledo, Frisco and Lehigh Valley in the minors and to Miami, Chicago, Detroit, Denver, Dallas-Fort Worth and now, Pittsburgh, in the majors.
And, just like that -- from one weekend to the next -- Jason will have gone from an IronPig sitting in the bullpen down the right-field line in sleepy Alliance Bank Stadium to a Pirate taking the mound in front of a big and raucous house in Pittsburgh.
Good for him. And good for his beaming father, too.
Now, about Tommy Milone . . .

Ready France? France better get ready for Samsung is going all out to promote its Wave series of phones all around the world. And a new MTV edition of the Wave 575 might very well be headed their way. The phone is being promoted as a Web Phone with some really cool promotional media from MTV. There are several cool MTV embedded applications that come along with the phone as well.
Samsung Wave in France has already made a good impact and hence the company is focusing on the French market to establish its front in Europe. The MTV edition of the Wave might very well be the next big thing that happens in the low budget smartphone market of Europe. The phone as usual boasts of some absolutely stunning features that can the hats off your head and leave your eyes whistling.
Here are the technical specifications from the phone which are definitely worth some really raised eyebrows
- Dimensions: 109 x 55 x 12 mm weighs around 100gms
- Screen: 3.2 inch capacitive multi-touch display
- Camera: 3.2 Mega pixel camera capable of geo-tagging, panorama and HD recording
- Memory: 100 MB internal and External up to 16 GB
- Battery: around 48 hours with full usage
- Operating System: Samsung Bada 1.1
- Network: 3G and WIFI capable
However the interesting thing about the phone is its looks Samsung has customized the looks of the phone to be synchronized with the look and feel of MTX the music channel. The colour and the contours are elegantly developed and would give the buyer a classy feel. The interface of the app has also been readjusted with the looks and feel of the MTV music channel and the music company is also giving away four applications totally exclusive with itself along with the phone.
Here is exactly what you get more than the hardware if you go for buying the special MTV edition of the Samsung Wave 575.
- Exclusive MTV content
- Bettered and MTV oriented user interface
- 4 different interesting applications exclusive to MTV
- Access to email and social networking
- And many more MTV exclusive stuff
Personally I feel that the move made by the big heads at Samsung has a lot of strategic implications to it. For one the partnership will MTV will draw a lot of music crazy customers towards the device. Also, as a personal feeling, I used to not like both the exteriors and the user interface of the Wave 575 and that for sure is getting a much needed facelift. The phone is being made available for a price of 209.90 euros and is definitely aimed towards the young children of the country.
As far as India is concerned it is highly likely that this one hits the sub-continent as well but when and how is not really decipherable right now. However with the kind of market that MTV and Samsung have in our country it might not be very long before we see that happening.

Ron English has been fired as Eastern Michigan's head football coach effective immediately, according to a Friday afternoon athletic department announcement.
"At this time, I have decided that a change in the leadership of our football team is necessary," athletic director Heather Lyke said in a statement. "Eastern Michigan University's commitment to our student-athletes remain of the utmost importance as we move forward with the rest of this season and in selecting the new leader of our program."
Offensive coordinator Stan Parrish, a former head coach at Ball State, has been named interim head coach, and a national search for a new coach will begin immediately, according to the school.
The announcement comes less than 24 hours before the 1-8 Eagles host Western Michigan, 1 p.m. Saturday at Rynearson Stadium.
English's contract, which pays him a base salary $349,937 this year, runs through Dec. 31, 2013. The contract is the original five-year deal he signed in December 2008. Per the terms of the deal, Eastern will be responsible for paying the remaining balance on the contract.
Lyke, who was hired on July 1 spoke to The Ann Arbor News Thursday evening. She said then that the fact that English was in the final year of his contract added "a bit more steam" to the evaluation process of his program, but declined to speak to the specifics of that evaluation or its timeframe. She did not return a phone message Friday afternoon.
English's firing brings an end to a nearly five-year tenure that at one point showed promise for reviving the Eagles program, but ultimately fell apart over the last two seasons. Since his hiring in December, 2008, English has compiled a record of 11-46 in parts of five seasons.
That includes an 0-12 campaign in 2009, the school's first winless season since 1981, followed by a two-win season.
2011 marked English's best year at Eastern, when the Eagles went 6-6, including a 5-3 start to the season.
But last season saw English's second two-win season at the helm, including six straight losses to start the season.
This year, despite replacing his offensive coordinator and installing himself at defensive coordinator, English recorded just one win. That came in his team's season-opener, when the Eagles had to come back from 11 points down in the second half at home against Howard, an FCS team.
From there, Eastern lost eight straight by an average of more than 30 points. Eastern's last two losses have been by 39 points apiece.
English came to EMU after spending five seasons as a Michigan assistant, including 2006 and 2007 as the team's defensive coordinator, and one season as Louisville's defensive coordinator.

oh boyy... and the drama begins in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2..............
I think Yunas strong part is pcs than tes. Whenever I watch her scheherazade program, I cant find anyone whose more artistic than Yuna is. But for the topic, I hope Mao an Yuna can bring a great performances to the audience !
Refer to the chart below (somebody thoughtfully compiled it)
(Per the person who compiled the chart, the highlighted comps show 2 cases where she lost despite high TES b/c she couldn't get enough PCS.)
Not that this means she's not artistic, etc. but it shows that she rarely gets propped up w/ PCS. (World 2011 is where her PCS was greater than TES)
Another thing to note is that Yuna used to get very high level (3 on step & 4 on spins & spiral), so I don't think that it's going to be all jumps for her this time either. I don't see any reason for it to be that way.
Anyway, it's good that she's back. Hopefully it'll get more ladies to attempt more difficult jumps this season & next.
I agree that her comeback would make other ladies bring more difficult technical components and it's a good thing. While Yuna's been away it seemed like ladies brought less challenging jumps.
And her tes is high too, but thats something we cant assume since it really depends on how she executes her elements. But as far as pcs, her artistry on ice and the transitions she had always been at the top so its easy to assume she'll receive a high score on that part

I would not have expected another YuNa v Mao battle at Sochi, we were unsure of YuNa's return and the past 2 seasons for Mao were sub par but Mao seems to have turned it around and YuNa surprised us all at NRW showing little rust and posting the best SP score this season. We all thought the russian young babes would be the contenders (they still might) but they seem to be having puberty issues (along with pressure from federation to succeed).
So yes more likely the same battle as in Vancouver.
My estimation is that Kostner will be in the medal equation too, she has been strong the past couple of seasons and it be great for her to get that olympic monkey off her back.
But anything can happen, we still have a long wait before Sochi....
Personally, I would prefer that Sochi ladies event does not come down to another Mao/Yuna battle. I would prefer other skaters to mix in.

Managed services are outsourced services for which the management and responsibilities are handled by a service provider. Some common managed services include professional services automation (PSA), remote monitoring and management, mobile device management, business applications, postage, transportation, database management, information services, communication services, and many more. Nearly any piece of software or business application available today can be offered as software as a service (SaaS).
A managed service provider (MSP) is an individual or organization that handles the management and upkeep of a provided service and is responsible for delivering and maintaining the service. Managed services often operate on a near-fixed or flat monthly payment model, sometimes with an initial up-front cost for setup which creates a consistent revenue stream for managed service providers. MSPs may often use a Vendor Management System (VMS) to provide both parties with detailed analytics and data about the services being provided. In addition to the VMS, the deployment and control of customers' managed services is often done with specialized software known as Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) software. The MSP business model has become more common due its success and the consistent revenue stream that it provides. Some value-added resellers (VAR) also offer products and services with a similar recurring-payment model.
Many government agencies use managed services and many fortune 500 companies take advantage of them as well. Managed services can replace the traditional off-the-shelf resale method, but switching poses many challenges including a more complex billing process and a new sales process which is more service based.
Networking practice services are targeted for our mid market and enterprise clients who have fairly complex network infrastructure environments.

Managed services provider (MSP) Logic Speak managed 1,250 endpoints — and that number almost doubled after the acquisition of another company. President and CEO Jason Etheridge said his company couldn't accomplish this without remote monitoring and management (RMM). "It would be impossible to do our jobs efficiently — which is the key to managed services," he explained.
Karl Palachuk, keynote speaker at Channel Transitions VAR/MSP Executive Conference, powered by Business Solutions on Sept. 24 at the DoubleTree Chicago-Downers Grove, joined the panel discussion at the event and shared advice for overcoming some customer objections to managed services.
Chester Ritchie, SVP at Worldpay, and Donte Kim, president of Nodus Technologies, discussed opportunities for managed services providers (MSPs) in payment processing beyond the retail and hospitality verticals.

Ultimately, the owners of the Double JJ Resort in Rothbury want to sell the 2,000-acre destination resort, they told the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Grand Rapids.
For the meantime, the Double JJ owners will not be handling the operations and finances of the resort, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Jeffrey Hughes ruled Tuesday. A court receiver will be appointed to run Double JJ, which continues to operate.
The judge's ruling is the latest in a series of complicated legal and financial maneuvers in the wake of this past Fourth of July weekend's ROTHBURY music festival at the Double JJ.
Although the festival that drew an estimated 40,000 people to southern Oceana County was successful, the Double JJ was facing the default of a $17.5 million construction loan for the Gold Rush indoor waterpark and Thoroughbred Suites Condominiums that came due in February.
BankFirst of South Dakota went into U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids immediately after the festival to begin legal action against the resort.
Bob Lipsitz -- co-owner and president of Double JJ and its associated companies -- protected his businesses from the BankFirst legal action by filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization last week. Lipsitz sought to continue operating the resort during the bankruptcy proceedings, while BankFirst wanted an independent court-appointed trustee to handle the resort's affairs.
Judge Hughes ruled in the bank's favor in appointing a receiver, according to court documents. BankFirst sought the receiver because it argued Double JJ's operations were in "utter disarray." Double JJ argued that its problems are due to the economic difficulties in Michigan and throughout its tourism industry.
All indications from the ROTHBURY co-producers and Double JJ owners is that a second festival is planned for next summer. Festival organizers expect crowds to double in 2009 based upon the successful first-year event.
In the end, Lipsitz told the court in a sworn affidavit that he is looking to sell the Double JJ, which he and his wife have owned since 1988. Lipsitz and his wife Joan own 56 percent of the resort and Walter Wojack of Canton, Ohio is a 44 percent investor.
"(Double JJ's) plans to aggressively pursue a sale of substantially all of its assets," Lipsitz wrote the bankruptcy court. Double JJ has hired the law firms of Rayman & Stone of Kalamazoo and Varnum Riddering Schmidt & Howlett of Grand Rapids to handle the reorganization plan and seek court approval of the resort's sale, he said.
The ROTHBURY Festival -- the four-day, camp-in music and environmental festival that was headlined by The Dave Matthews Band -- has become an obvious benefit to the eventual sale of the resort, Lipsitz argued.
"This event -- by any measure a massive logistical undertaking -- was enormously successful and, by all indications, has transformed (the Double JJ) into what may be the premier music festival site in the United States," the resort's attorney stated about the result of ROTHBURY.
Those close to the festival and the Double JJ situation indicate that there are at least three separate parties interested in purchasing the Double JJ. However, no mention of potential buyers have shown up in federal court documents.
In the summer 2007, Double JJ engaged CB Richard Ellis' Chicago office to place the resort up for sale. However, at the time Lipsitz said his intention was to seek lenders to refinance the BankFirst construction loan or investors to help the resort's financial issues.
Those problems resulted from the construction of the waterpark and the condominium hotel in 2006. The operations of the waterpark and sale of the condos have not covered the $17.5 million debt, although Double JJ attorneys told the court that the resort had already paid BankFirst $3.1 million in interest before the construction loan came due in February.
"Unfortunately, the significant costs of borrowing resulted in a significant strain on the (Double JJ's) cash flow," Lipsitz told the bankruptcy court. "In addition, the worsening economy in the state of Michigan over the past few years resulted in 13 condominiums, most of which were pre-sold, not to close ... resulting in decreased revenues."
The bankruptcy filings included the lease agreement between Double JJ and ROTHBURY co-producers Madison House Productions of Boulder, Colo. and AEG Live of Los Angeles. Double JJ received a $285,000 "site guarantee" payment prior to the festival and expects to receive other "substantial" payments from the producers now that the event has concluded.
According to the three-year agreement between Double JJ and the festival co-producers, Double JJ would also receive approximately $50,000 more in bonus payments for the approximately 40,000 people who attended the event. The resort also will receive 10 percent of the profits for all non-alcohol related food and beverage concession sales. Double JJ attorneys said the bonus and concession payments have yet to be made by the co-producers.
In addition to the lease, bonus and concession payments, Double JJ received a $171,000 payment for the 232 rooms on the resort for the four days of the festival and $96,000 from the co-producers for meeting rooms and lodging prior to the event, Double JJ attorneys reported to the bankruptcy court.
In the U.S. District Court case by BankFirst, Double JJ was ordered to place festival funds in a court-established escrow account while proceedings continued. Double JJ argued to the bankruptcy court that it did not have any of the festival revenues in its possession as of the time of the U.S. District Court order.
No funds have been deposited by the resort, which was one of the reasons Judge Hughes used in appointing a bankruptcy trustee to take control of Double JJ, according to published reports.
Meanwhile, the owners of Double JJ appear to be going in different directions in the face of the financial turmoil.
Double JJ and Lipsitz told the court that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to reorganize the business based upon a "duly noted and authorized meeting of the board of directors" of the company. Minority owner Wojack told the court that was not true.
"In short, the filing of the (Double JJ) bankruptcy was not properly authorized," Wojack told the court in that he was not notified of the board meeting nor did he attend.
The Wojack affidavit was used by BankFirst in arguments for a bankruptcy trustee to handle the affairs of the resort during the bankruptcy proceedings.

Your Editor's Notebook about abusive language was thoughtful and insightful ("Responding to obscenities with words of wisdom," page A6, Sept. 13 Herald). Sadly, those who behave this way probably don't read newspapers.
When I walk my dogs through our neighborhood, I'm struck by the fact that so few of my neighbors subscribe to any newspaper or bother to retrieve their copy of the North Kitsap Herald before it gets soggy and unreadable. I doubt that they watch TV news either. I consider local newspapers indispensable for citizens who want to be informed voters.
Too many voters get their information from distorted Internet posts placed by paid propagandists to polarize and mislead. These skilled propagandists are employed by some of the same billionaires who anonymously fund superPACs and phony "grassroots" movements. Sadly, the uninformed are too easily misled, and haven't tumbled to the fact that the libertarian ideology is a clever scam perpetrated by powerful predators who want to weaken government so they can take it over.
Beware of wolves posing as friends of individual liberty and freedom from government regulation — and protection.

Slate: Hey, Maybe We Need To Rethink This Whole Free Speech Thingy
Ever since the
planned terrorist attack on our Libyan compound and diplomatic personnel "spontaneous uprising" over a stupid video which none had actually seen, per the administration, there has been much hang wringing and navel gazing over the freedoms enshrined in our 1st Amendment. It's the usual pattern, where something happens, liberals blame someone for saying something mean, and then start wondering about whether free speech is all that it's cracked up to be, instead of saying "I disagree with what you're stating, but, I'll fight to the death to defend your right to say it". And here comes Eric Posner at Slate wondering if the US overvalues free speech
The universal response in the United States to the uproar over the anti-Muslim video is that the Muslim world will just have to get used to freedom of expression…….Muslims need to grow a thick skin, the thinking goes, as believers in the West have done over the centuries. Perhaps they will even learn what it means to live in a free society, and adopt something like the First Amendment in their own countries.
But there is another possible response. This is that Americans need to learn that the rest of the world–and not just Muslims–see no sense in the First Amendment. Even other Western nations take a more circumspect position on freedom of expression than we do, realizing that often free speech must yield to other values and the need for order. Our own history suggests that they might have a point.
King George and his governors saw no point in freedom of speech, either. And once that free speech starts being chipped away, where does it stop? What freedoms will next be targeted?

A tool that's growing
in popularity among design engineers, 3D printing still has a long way to go
before becoming a standard fixture in the crime scene lab. But on the popular TV
series CSI: NY , the toolwhich rapidly creates models of parts by depositing layers of material much like an ink jet printerhas proved to be also useful in solving a crime. In the Dec. 1 episode, a mounted policeman was shot to death. Investigators believed the weapon was a high-power rifle, but could not prove it without the key evidencethe bullet. It passed through the victim's body, entered his horse's vertebrae, and could not be safely removed. No matter, said Oscar-winner Gary Sinise, a.k.a. Detective Mac Taylor, who took digital data from a scan of the horse and used the ZPrinter 310 System by Z Corp. to create a 3D model of the bullet. Karen Kiffney, Z Corp.'s marketing manager, says inquiries about the 310 model have gone up after the episode aired. Marketed as an entry-level system, the machine can create parts up to 8 × 10 × 8 inches (203 × 254 × 203 mm) in size.

See Past Polls
May 16, 2008 Poll Results
Should gay couples be allowed to marry?
Note: This is not a scientific poll. The results reflect only the opinions of those who chose to participate.
God so ordained since he created all, that man and women should be married into union, not men to men or women to women, but mankind will so dictate the perverseness of there own beleifs whether God likes it or not;but in the end God will have the last say so and those ,whether homosexuality or other sins, will stand in judgement for those sins and without Christ as there lord and savour will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. I know this will get flack for what God says about this subject, but you who love yourself rather then God will have to endure the judgement.
Disallowing Gay & Lesbian marriages, unlike the thoughts of many, will not discontinue Gay & Lesbian couples. This is a question of legal rights and how it affects people in general. Let's face it - the only real legal benefit to marriage is the ability to put someone on your insurance policy! Lighten up people! Gays and Lesbians are creating unions - regardless of legality. In the long run it affects NO ONE, except the couples in question. Get a life! (To all you haters). Btw, I am not a lesbian... but a firm believer in people minding their own business. I don't see how this issue is even for debate. If it doesn't affect you - then butt out.
My God as I understand him is a loving one and he speaks of loving one another. Many of my gay friends are in committed relationships without the support of medical benefits or legal protections in regards to property and children. Most likely the push against marriage comes from a very strong lobby of Insurance Companies in my opinion.
When two people love each other what is the problem. They should have the same protections and rights as anyone else

A marriage license, like fishing, hunting and drivers licenses, is issued by the state. No one should be denied one if they meet the basic requirements, hunter safety course for hunting, Drivers Ed for driving or a certain age for marriage. If a person has religious objections to homosexuality they should join churches that don't allow gays or lesbians to marry, but should not force their religious beliefs on the rest of society. Remember a marriage is not necessarily a religious ceremony nor does a marriage performed as part of a religious service have any more standing then one performed by a Mayor or Judge or a Ships Captain, if ship captains can actually marry people. Don't keep two people in love from being able to live their lives together with the legal benefits of a state issued legal document. God has nothing to do with a marriage license; people are invoking the name of God to further their bigotry and hatred.
I had been thinking about posting a comment here, but just haven't found the time to write it. But bobbrindel's post took the words right out of my fingertips. I completely agree.
Gay marriage SHOULD be legalized for two reasons. One reason is because for all citizens of this country to have the same freedoms under the laws that we all abide by we as a people have to legalize gay marriage. The founding fathers of this nation were men of God yes, BUT the church ruled England and thats why there had to be a separation of church and state.We cannot tell people where to go to church, we cannot tell people to abide by church rules, and all people should never have to abide by another persons belief if its not their own. Second, I am a Christian, I do not judge homosexuals and do not believe that they are bad people. I believe God loves them as his children. All Christians know and believe that free agency is a huge part of our life on earth. That we must choose good from evil , to have a choice. By voting to allow homosexuals to marry doesn't mean you are agreeing with it , you are just giving them their free agency, their freedom to choose, and if they choose to get married or not its their fault after that not yours. That is a very important life lesson for all humanity. We cannot continue to pry into others lives and tell them what they are doing is wrong and then support laws to make it so they cannot even have their free agency to choose right from wrong.Love people and open your minds...this is coming from a Hetero Christian. Please America , open your minds and hearts...

Three Mercer Island teens face one count of malicious harassment in hate graffiti case
The three defendants in the case of hate graffiti at Northwest Yeshiva High School, St. Monica Church and Island Park Elementary School were charged on Wednesday afternoon with one count of malicious harassment.
Court papers for each individual said in each case that the defendant "did maliciously and intentionally and because of his perception of the religion of the students and staff of Northwest Yeshiva High School did cause physical damage to or destruction of the property of Island Park Elementary, St. Monica Catholic Church and Northwest Yeshiva High School, and did place that person or members of that group of persons in reasonable fear of harm to person and/or property."
The 18-year-old defendant will be arraigned on Oct. 27 at 8:30 a.m. at the King County Courthouse, courtroom 1201. The two 17-year-old defendants will be arraigned on Oct. 27 in Juvenile Court.

The next AACE International Total Cost Management Today webinar will be February 26 at 11:00 AM Eastern USA and will cover the topic of "Cognitive Biases."
The evidence is overwhelming. Cognitive biases affect our project execution. Indeed, these biases color virtually every aspect of our lives. But in particular, the role of these biases is pronounced and is evidenced by project personnel not using the best judgment in their work. Bill Kraus performed a search in the AACE virtual library for papers containing the word bias and found he was not the only one who thinks so and also that biases affect many different aspects of project management. In doing more reading, Kraus found that it's a much bigger factor in our lives than he realized. That's truer in project work than we want to think about. Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, in the article List of Cognitive Biases, lists a total of 113 variations on biases.
How do these cognitive biases affect our project execution and how can we negate the effects?
Understanding these points will hopefully allow projects which better achieve their objectives, whether budgets, schedules, quality, or other goals.
Speaker Bio:
William E. Kraus, PE CCP holds bachelor's and master's degrees in civil engineering and has practiced in project management and project controls for more than 42 years. He is a licensed professional engineer in Colorado and Tennessee, He joined AACE International in 1985 and is a Certified Cost Professional. He is a former president of AACE International and is a Fellow. He was awarded an Honorary Life Membership in 2013 and is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (FRICS) and a member of the Order of the Engineer.

We're at war. No, not overseas, but closer to home. Sea lampreys have invaded Michigan waters and treaten to destroy the natural sea life that abounds. No form of sea life is safe...none at all.
August 05, 2008: Muskegon chronicle: Sea lamprey are non-native, eel-like fish that cling to lake trout, whitefish and salmon and suck their blood and other bodily fluids. The unsightly parasites snuck into the Great Lakes in the 1920s through the Welland Canal, which allowed ships traveling between Lake Ontario to Lake Erie to bypass Niagara Falls.
The Great Lakes Fishery Commission, a U.S.-Canada agency, has spent $300 million since 1956 capturing and killing lamprey in rivers before the parasites reach the Great Lakes.
A task which is difficult to do. Lampreys spend several years buried at the bottom of lake and river beds before maturing enough to emerge and begin an 18-month killing spree. Even if the lampreys detach themselves from a fish, they often leave wounds that won't heal and become fatal.
The Fish and Wildlife Service agency plans to take more aggressive actions.
Sections of the lower Muskegon River, from Croton Dam to Maple Island Road, and portions of two tributaries -- Bigelow and Bridgeton creeks -- will be treated at various times from Wednesday to Aug. 14.
The sea lamprey can leave serious and sometimes fatal wounds.The agency plans to apply a chemical called TFM to Bigelow and Bridgeton creeks first, followed by a treatment in parts of the Muskegon beginning Aug. 11. Weather conditions and stream flow could affect treatment dates.
The chemical treatments are aimed at killing 12,700 so-called transformers, sea lamprey that are expected to emerge from the river bottom this year and begin their journey to Lake Michigan.
While the agency claims the chemical agent used to kill the lamprey transformers is "nontoxic to most aquatic life," some other sea life fatalities will most likely occur as well.
In case you want to learn more about the sea lamprey, here's an instructional video that is simultaneously entertaining.

SPRINGFIELD — An 84-year-old Agawam man entered a guilty plea in U.S. District Court to charges Thursday of mail fraud and tax evasion charges in exchange for a plea deal that could keep him out of prison.
James F. Hansmann agreed to enter a guilty plea as part of an agreement with prosecutors in which they will request a sentence that includes no jail time, but three years probation, one year of home confinement and restitution of close to $500,000.
Judge Michael A. Ponsor will take the plea deal under advisement.
The charges could have resulted in a penalty of 20 years imprisonment.
Hansmann, who worked as a self-employed income tax preparer. According to the federal indictment against him, Hansmann took money from his clients that were supposed to be paid to the Internal Revenue Service and deposited it into his personal account. This continued for a period between 2006 and 2010.
The bulk of the restitution would be $408,035 Canterbury Construction Inc., while the remaining $86,691 is due the IRS.
He was ordered released on his own recognizance pending his sentencing hearing, which is scheduled for sentencing hearing, scheduled for Jan. 14.

In response to The Times-Picayune's Twitter feed of updates in the Los Angeles Lakers' 87-78 win over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night, nola.com reader tomfears wrote:
"Hornets lost this game on turnovers and Free throws.
"It was a winnable game; Lakers did not win it, Hornets lost it at the line and in giveaways. What I could see in the beginning guys put too much pressure on themselves. I guess the possibility of going up 2 - 0 was too tempting and caused a lot of erratic play by Gray and Okefor at the outset.
"That set the tempo for the entire game. Lakers had one run in the second and every time the Hornets could have answered there was an untimely turnover or missed Free throw.
"After two games there is no reason to think we can't hang with the Lakers for the rest of the series."
