Say What?!?
I nearly spit out my coffee this morning while reading the sports section of the Inquirer. In the midst of various notable baseball tidbits was this gem:
Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland said yesterday that, while he does not condone the use of performance-enhancing drugs, most fans don't care about the issue.
"The people who care about it probably don't like baseball," Leyland said.
Come again?
Mr. Leyland has obviously not been reading the posts here at MLBlogs, from bloggers like Emily at I Live For This, Jen at A Diatribe from a Journalism Student, or Julia at Julia's Rants. They don't just like baseball, they love baseball. And judging by the comments to some of these posts, many other fans feel the same way – there is no place for PEDs in this game.
It is thinking like this that has allowed the problem to perpetuate. For Mr. Leyland to allow this quote into the press is irresponsible.

Wow, apparently, he's been in Motor City too long. True fans do care. Those who don't know the difference between the Red Sox and the Reds are the ones who care less. Mr Leyland, get a clue!! Seriously, it's for your own good at this point.
i kind of agree with Leyland, alot of fans really dont care. The reception Manny has gotten since his return has been supportive, nobody will boo Papi. Fans just want wins and homeruns, some could care less how it gets done as long as their team is winning
I personally despise the use of PED's but a lot of "fans" dont seem to care. David Ortiz has been called the "loveable user," Manny Ramirez is the biggest thing in Hollywood, A-Rod is cheered, I think it's disgusting.
I don't know what to say on this one. Manny served his suspension without much comment and did not throw the blame to anyone else. Ortiz pretty much said that he didn't know he took any illegal drugs and that it must have been contained in his vitamins. I cannot boo Manny while he is a Dodger . I will never boo a Dodger. Others such as Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens still deny they ever did anything, Clemens actually throwing his wife under the bus by saying it was her drugs.
I, as a nurse, find that truly illegal drugs such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, marijuana and alcohol (yes, alcohol) have actually harmed and killed people. It makes my job much harder. And alcohol is legal although it harms others and the person himself with the illness it eventually causes. And all that is a drain on all of us..
The fact that names seem to seep out of that list causes me to wonder the timing of it. I tend to think there has been much illegal hanky panky going on with all that. I don't know.
I cannot pass judgment on people because I myself am not perfect, and never will be. I think I have more of a problem with people who have used the drugs but don't want to take the penalty. I figure later on those who did take steroids or other PEDs will feel the effects on their bodies with brittle bones, etc so they will pay their penalty in that respect.
With athletes seemingly getting better and stronger, the competition is more and more stressful. Could it all be better diet?? Better exercise. Better nutrition. I don't know.
Just my opinion.
Sorry about my rant. We fans do care but what can we do? Those PEDs were not illegal before and I think more athletes have used them than we know. They just haven't been found out.
Cat, ranting is quite alright. What initially bothered me about Leyland's quote was not necessarily whether or not he agrees with the use of PEDs, but that he felt the only people who cared about PED use probably didn't actually like baseball. From what I've read here on MLBlogs, a majority of us DO care, and we ARE fans. Granted, "caring" about the issue could mean your opinion could fall on either side of the debate. Hopefully those who have used PEDs in the past will admit to it if need be – I can't really call it "wrongdoing" because it wasn't against the rules of baseball at the time. Personally, as far as the "list" goes, I wish they would either release the whole list, or destroy it once and for all. What's done is done. We need to move on.
When Manny was suspended for using whatever it was that was ilegal, I wrote a post that I do no condone that and I don't BUT he served his suspension and I know it was killing him not to hit because that guy loves to hit. He followed the rules of the suspension.
Like Cat, I do not believe in booing ANY Dodgers. I did not boo Andruw Jones last year as bad as he was doing for us and I was not going to start with booing Manny. He served his suspension, apologized to the fans and to his teamates so I was ready to move on. My motto is "just don't do it again."
I do have a problem with people that have used PED and have denied it like Sosa and Clement. I am suspicious of others that deny it, I am suspicious of players that have hit a lot of homeruns one year and this year's number are no where close to where they were the year before. So I have names in my mind that I think "did he or didn't he."
Thanks for the link post! Let me tell you, I'm disgusted that people don't care about this issue. It's a huge issue, and it's going to ruin the sport if we don't stop it. I am a Red Sox fan, but by no means condone what David Ortiz did and can't ever respect him the same way. I never boo any major league player, regardless of what has happened. Right now, it sounds like there's the possibility that players who were on that list contested what happened. It's hard to figure out this mess. I can't believe people don't think that fans care, and I can't believe there are fans who don't care. Maybe I should send Jim Leyland my letter.
I'm guessing Jim Leyland meant that real fans want to see baseball, not hear news stories about the latest steroids abuser. If he had it to do over again, he'd probably say it differently. Just a hunch.
You may be right, Jane. The few lines I quoted above are the entirety of what appeared in my newspaper. Apparently, the quote is from a longer column in a different outlet in which Leyland says he is "sick and tired" of all the steroid talk. I think he could have chosen his words better, and I think whoever edits these news nuggets for the paper did a disservice by not including the quote in its full context.
Sue – it truly amazes me how utterly stupid some people can be! Thanks for the link – and here's hoping that someone, somewhere realizes that we fans are NOT going to find drug use in baseball acceptable!
Open mouth – insert foot. Yeah, i think he needs a mulligan on that comment. Either that or he's just stupid. Dunno…

Guard AuxiliaryUS Power
No matter where you are in California, a water adventure awaits you – each one as big and unique as the state itself. It can be majestic as paddling a kayak around San Francisco Bay within view of the Golden Gate Bridge or as heart-thumping as riding the raging flows of the Lower Kern. You can canoe the quiet might of the lower American River in fall, or fish the mountain splendor of Lake Almanor. With the endless possibility of water adventures in California, it is increasingly important for recreational boaters to understand how to boat safely.
There are many ways in which individuals can educate, prepare and equip themselves to be safe boaters. Some courses and classes can be taken online, some sent conveniently to your home, and many in person through various organizations and agencies.
Courses are approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and have received approval from the California Division of Boating and Waterways. These courses meet the requirements for court-ordered courses. Those convicted of an alcohol or drug offense or moving violations while boating must pass one of these approved courses and show their earned certificate to the court as proof of meeting their obligation. An added perk in taking a course: many marine insurance providers will honor a NASBLA approved course to reduce their clients' premiums!
Classes provide classroom and on-the-water boating safety education in kayaking, canoeing, water skiing, power-boating, sailing, personal watercraft operation and other aquatic activities. Some centers specialize in programs for the disabled. To viewclasses, please visit the Aquatic Centers tab for more detailed information.
To understand the many options available to you, please click on the subsequent tabs for the Division of Boating and Waterways, Aquatic Centers, US Coast Guard Auxiliary and the Power Squadrons to learn more about the various courses and classes available to you.
The Division of Boating and Waterway's course includes an optional exam with two answer sheets. The exam consists of 60 questions. This correspondence course allows boaters to study at home at their own pace and covers state and federal boating laws, rules of the road, boat handling, required equipment, navigational aids, accident reporting and special topics.
Once completed, the answer sheet can be forwarded to the division for grading. Those who successfully complete the course are awarded certificates of completion. (Please allow four to six weeks for delivery.)
This course is accepted for court-ordered requirements. Click here to view other approved court-required boating courses.

A Look at His Last Three Performances
vs. MIA 42 pts, 9 reb, 5 asts
vc. BOS 35 pts, 12 reb, 10 asts
@ NJN 33 pts, 7 reb, 4 asts
For the last 10 games he is averaging 31.2 pts, 7.6 reb, and 3.4 asts. Melo has been impressive on defense and has finally made a commitment on defense every game. One can argue that this is the best that Melo has played throughout his entire career.
No doubt in my mind, he is the best player in the NBA for the month of April. The Knicks would absolutely be lost without him, and he responded to the challenge by going all out bananas on the Knicks' opponents.
Kudos to you Melo, thanks for leading our bockers through these last 15 games or so. May you have a beastier(?) Playoff run.
Signature created by AmareforPresident
I'm just happy for Melo after virtually being labeled the 2nd fiddle to Jeremy after Linsanity exploded, the issue with MDA, and all these lingering injuries that he's gone through. You gotta love his commitment to this team and his teammates.
Signature created by AmareforPresident
I came to pay my respects, dudes been beasting like no one else lately. This is more like the Melo from Denver but even better. Mark me off as another one that thinks hes playing his best basketball ever in the last 10 to 15 games
I hated him his first couple of years, eventually became a fan. I became a much bigger fan in a game last year when he was still with the Nuggets. He put a beating on Vince Carter like no one else ever had, then he got traded to us. It was rough for a while this year but hes coming through now, i hope he can get healthier and lead us to our first playoff win in a century
He's def playing the best basketball out of anybody in the league this past month hopefully he keeps it up when Amare comes back.
It was lonely at times supporting Melo at times, but I have kept on supporting him.
He is finally playing like a superstar.
That's the Melo I was actually hoping for and expecting when we traded for him.
I always felt like he's a player who really excells on one-superstar teams and his current heroics seem to confirm that.
I certainly hope he can stay the same when Amar'e returns soon and Lin next season, but I somehow doubt it.
It's a bit like TMac, absolutely beasting and winning back 2 back scoring titles while beeing the lone star in Orlando and never reaching those heights again in Houston (alongside Yao).
Huge props to Melo for what he did the last couple of weeks. I thoroughly enjoyed it, you're the man bro! (finally).
We should trade him he sucks remember.
We went on that winning streak during Linsanity when Amar'E was out. Now Melo is going H.A.M.with Amar'e out and looking like an MVP candidate.
Amar'e played his best basketball last season when Melo was still in Denver.
They're definitely better without each other.
That doesn't mean they can't play together, but you'll never see the 31 ppg, 8 rpg, 4 apg Melo with amar'e next to him over a month or even a year.
The same with STAT. He won't ever post his 26 ppg, 8rpg, 2.5 bpg stats from 10-11 alongside Melo for a longer peroid.
Stat/Melo/Lin/Smith all need the ball in order to play well.
Biggest problem is guys like Stat and Melo play better defensively when they get their offensive game on. When they go for stretches without the ball, they play like **** defensively. They don't have the elite mindset to keep their focus without getting their touches.
I don't know if you guys are old enough to remember Tony Campbell.
Tony Campbell was a guy that dropped something like 22 points per game over a season with the T'Wovles in the early 1990s.
Melo is better than Tony Campbell, but they're both wack sauce.
Numbers? What are numbers?
The reality is, and this is the gut check for some of my brethren, is that this team is 32-29 in a wack sauce conference, and this paltry mark is largely due to Melo's wack sauceness over this season.
His inability to stop acting like a silly bitch while playing under Coach Mike speaks volume of his character, and you can rest assured that this weak character will manifest itself when the going gets tough, that's just what wack sauce characters do!
Yea, you'll get some flashy flashy 40 point games, but ultimately we'll be looking back at the Melo era in New York as an era of wack sauce.
The guy nobody doubts is one of the top players in the league but when a player quits on his teammates its disgraceful...
It was a bad situation but lets hope MELO learned something from it......I would hate to think without the major spotlight on himself he will not give a 110%.....anything less then that and I would trade him.
You want to talk about character? Lets examine other superstars like Dwight, Kobe, and Lebron all not great character.
You must love hearing ESPN say how will Melo work with Amare and Lin, he can't play team ball, he's a ball stopper.
Support the team and its players.

Belington woman arrested 9 months after warrant issued
Nearly nine months after a warrant for her arrest was issued, a 21-year-old Belington woman was apprehended Thursday by police for allegedly obtaining prescription drugs by forgery.
Kimberly Rochelle Nicholson allegedly forged a prescription for Percocet from a local doctor and picked it up at the Kroger on 11th Street in Elkins last spring.
According to the criminal complaint in the Randolph County Magistrate Clerk's Office, on April 9, 2012, at approximately 8 p.m., Nicholson allegedly picked up a prescription for 120 325 mg Percocet pills.
Dr. William San Pablo, whose clinic is located at 201 Main Street in Elkins, reported that the same prescription had been stolen, the complaint states. Pablo told the investigating officer, Lt. S.D. Richards with the Elkins Police Department, that the writing on the prescription slip Nicholson gave to Kroger pharmacists was not his and that Nicholson has never been his patient.
The security camera at Kroger allegedly captured a video of Nicholson walking up to the pharmacy counter with another woman and then signing and paying for the Percocet.
Magistrate Rob Elbon set bond at $25,000 cash or surety, and as of presstime, Nicholson remained incarcerated in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail.
The penalty for a conviction of obtaining a prescription by forgery is a prison term of one to four years in the state penitentiary, a fine of up to $30,000 or both.

Outta my way, Missy...
There is wisdom in age when it comes to being a smart driver
By Jennifer Hadley 04/30/2009
Whenever anyone asks my parents how old they are, they smile and reply "We're approaching middle age." Without fail, this always evokes a chuckle from me (and anyone who happens to be within earshot) as my parents are in their 60s. But you wouldn't know it from looking at them or talking with them. And you certainly wouldn't hesitate to get in the car with either of them, despite the fact that they can technically be labeled "senior drivers."
All the same, I admit that I've been caught behind a car crawling along at a snail's pace and angrily shouted "Outta my way, grandma!" Muttering to myself, I generally follow this up with something to the effect of "grumble, grumble, going to cause an accident and kill someone driving like that, grumble, grumble." Then, just to prove how insightful I am, I look over my shoulder (to confirm that the driver is in fact a senior) as I zoom around them like a maniac. And then, of course, I feel like a jerk, because she probably is someone's really nice grandma. And she probably makes great cookies.
In addition to feeling like a jerk because I have no patience (or manners), I should feel like a mega-jerk because my resentments are, for the most part, based on prejudice, not facts. According to a recent study released by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (iihs.org), the fatal crash involvement rates for older drivers (age 70 and up) has declined at a substantially sharper pace than the decrease in fatal accidents involving drivers 35 to 54 years old.
This is despite the fact that when the study began in 1997 there were fewer than 18 million licensed drivers in the US over the age of 70, and by 2006 (when the study ended) there were more than 20 million licensed drivers age 70 or older. Moreover, according to a study released by the Rand Corp. (rand.org) in 2007, drivers over 65 were only one-third as likely to cause auto accidents as drivers ages 15 to 24.
Unfortunately, though, my grumblings aren't completely unfounded. Older drivers are nearly seven times more likely to be killed in a two-car collision than younger drivers, due to increased vulnerability and consequent death from injuries. Man, now I really feel bad for saying that "grandma's going to kill someone driving like that," as it seems that senior drivers pose a much greater risk to themselves than they do to others.
However, I'm still going to make the case that we can all stand to learn a lot from senior drivers. After all, they're not only reducing their involvement in fatal accidents at a quicker pace than middle-aged drivers; they're also causing fewer accidents than young drivers. And according to both studies, the reason seniors are making safety strides on the roads should be credited directly to senior drivers themselves.
Seniors tend to restrict their own driving, opting to drive fewer miles, drive only during daylight, and curtail their own driving in conjunction with mobility or vision impairment. Incidentally, the older a driver becomes, the more self-restrictions they tend to impose, according to the IIHS study, with drivers 80 and older more than twice as likely as those 65 to 69 to set limits on their driving.
It seems clear that there is wisdom in the ages when it comes to being a smart driver. Heck, maybe by the time I'm my parents' age — you know, approaching middle age — I'll even be a smarter, more patient and therefore better driver. That would make the roads safer for all of us.

Police arrest 16 in Bennington County drug sweep
BENNINGTON For the second time in less than a year, an inter-agency task force made up of area police officers conducted a drug sweep of Bennington County on Wednesday, arresting 16 people for charges related to heroin, cocaine and prescription drugs.
Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette said police were looking for 23 people Wednesday as part of Operation Strike Two. Doucette said he believed the success of the drug sweep, which netted about 70 of the people identified, came from cooperation between the Vermont State Police, the Bennington County Sheriffs Department and the police departments in Bennington and Manchester.
In January, police conducted a drug sweep called Operation County Strike with 67 targets. Almost 50 people were arrested that day.
After the program was so successful in Bennington County, the program continued around the state of Vermont. We had successful drug operations in Springfield, St. Albans and now right back here in Bennington, Doucette said.
Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage said the reason for two sweeps in nine months in the same county was the idea of being persistent and targeting drug sales. She also pointed out that law-enforcement officers in January had been clear that the drug sweep was not a one time event.
Doucette said he didnt believe police could eliminate the problem of drug abuse but could try to reduce its occurrence and impact.
We definitely need to push back and arrest these people and have successful prosecution, Doucette said. And we need the judges to take a look at all these crimes that are being committed with all of this drug dealing and hand out harsh sentences.
On Wednesday afternoon, 14 people were arraigned. None of them were ordered held without bail although several would have been required to post bail before being released.
Arraignments took place in Bennington criminal court for: Kathleen M. Bresnahan, 45, of Bennington, for three felony counts each of selling cocaine and selling heroin, three misdemeanor counts of possessing cocaine and two misdemeanor counts of possessing heroin; Bonnie Bucchieri, 23, of Arlington, for a felony count of selling heroin and a misdemeanor count of possessing heroin; Christopher D. Coyne, 28, of Pownal, for felony charges of selling cocaine and conspiracy to sell drugs and a misdemeanor count of selling drugs in a home; and Edward Crandall Jr., 36, of Bennington, for two felony counts of selling heroin, a felony count of selling drugs to minors in view of a school and a misdemeanor count of possession of heroin.
Also arraigned were: Tracy Eastman, of Bennington, 41, on two felony counts each of selling cocaine and heroin, four misdemeanor counts of selling drugs in a home, two misdemeanor counts of possession of cocaine and a misdemeanor count of possessing heroin; Nicholas Gillotti, 30, of Bennington, on two felony counts of selling heroin, a felony count of possessing heroin and a misdemeanor count of possession heroin; Ashley Rafus, 25, of four felony counts of selling cocaine, four misdemeanor counts of possessing cocaine and four misdemeanor counts of selling drugs from a home; Kayleigh E. Sigsbury, 25, of Bennington, for a felony count of selling cocaine and a misdemeanor count of possessing cocaine; and Chalissa Shakir, 20, of Bennington, for a felony count of selling cocaine and a misdemeanor count of possessing cocaine.
The final group of arraignments were for: Andrea Stepp, 25, for misdemeanor possession of regulated drugs; Beverly Stratton, 36, of Shaftsbury, for a felony charge of selling regulated drugs and a misdemeanor charge of possession of regulated drugs; Mark Stratton, 30, for a felony count of sale of regulated drugs; Domenic Thane, 22, for felony counts of selling heroin and regulated drugs and misdemeanor counts of possessing heroin and regulated drugs; and Joseph E. Wright, 30,of Manchester, for a felony count of selling cocaine and a misdemeanor count of possessing cocaine.
All of the people arraigned on Wednesday pleaded innocent. Two others arrested Wednesday are expected to be arraigned today.

A quick comment on Clemens
For most of my life, I've never really thought anything one way or the other about Roger. But, unfortunately, it seems that he has decided to let his name go down in ignominy. After thinking about it, though, I'm not all that bothered by this. He'll always be a Yankee in my mind and this is the type of hubris I associate with the entire Yankees organization.

Ignominy. I love it. I don't know what it means, but I love it.
I was kind of hoping that the link for ignominy would take me to dictionary.com🙂
Oh, Roger. As a die-hard Red Sox fan, I love nothing more than to see you sweat under Congressional Pressure.
You, sir, are the man who dominated my childhood. You put up incredible numbers throughout the 80's and early 90's with the Red Sox. And then you sat on your tail and became a .500 pitcher for four seasons, left town, became a Blue Jay, and pulled off two back to back Cy seasons before going to the Yankees (which, for the record, you said you'd never do.)
Then, when you were announced as a member of the All-Century team at the All Star game, you walked on wearing a Yankees cap. Sir, you'd been a member of the Yankees for less than five months.
You are the epitome of the soulless, money-grubbing, joyless athlete that populates the Yankee roster. A hired gun. A man who'd throw his own grandmother under the bus for a cool million. Nothing pleases me more to see you under so much pressure.
One suggestion…if you make it into the hall, you're going to have to decide which hat you wear inside: Red Sox, Blue Jays, Yankees, or Astros. Let me suggest this: wear a hat with a syringe laid over a dollar sign. Because those are the only teams you ever played for.
I don't know what that word means either, but since u are a college graduate it must mean something important. I would say from his comments MADHATTR84 is a little angry. Someone please tell me, what is the score on this steroid thing. This NL person seems to feel like the AL is leading in this game. All I hear in Yankees, bluejays,Redsoxs. What other teams are involved. Just asking
what game? the steroid game? looks like SF took the title on that one, Baba, with the Yankees hanging close. By the way, what are you talking about? Did you forget to take your meds this morning?
i took my meds I was just interjecting a new train of thought. I completely lapsed on the SF connection and felt like the AL was ahead in the steroid issue. That's why I have u there with that fast thinking brain to bring me back to the facts

Sony is running a multifaceted media campaign that harkens back to their early days of innovation and pushing the envelope. They ran an ad during the Golden Globes award show that got to the heart of their philosophy. When I watched the video clip, all I could think was that sure looks like a day at Cogswell College.
They say, "When you combine the artist with the engineers, you get something really new – something special." The ad went on to say, "when great thinkers combine with great doers, 1 + 1 can equal 3." So true! Great things happen when you create an environment that encourages – and even demands – collaboration across disciplines.
Walk into any classroom at Cogswell, step into the student lounge or listen to conversations taking place in our hallways – and you know you are in a unique place. Students and faculty are passionate about what they do and are eager to learn from each other.
Our next Open House is February 22. Why not RSVP now and come see for yourself how well we have integrated art and engineering? Step into our world of possibilities.

|Defensive Line Coach
|Previous College:
|UW-Milwaukee, '74
Keith Collins completed his 32nd year as an assistant coach with the Concordia University Wisconsin program in 2015. He is currently the defensive line coach and has coached the offensive line in the past.
He reminds us that it is not what "he" has achieved over the many years at CUW, but what his players have achieved as members of the "Falcon Family". While a member of the "Falcon Family", he is affectionately coached in more than 350 games inclusive of national playoff, varsity and junior varsity contests.
Collins has coached 18 CUW Hall of Famers, 32 All-Americans and more than 100 all-conference first team, as well as more than 130 all-conference second team honorees. He has coached eight conference title winning teams and six to the national playoffs.
Collins began playing football while at John Marshall High School in Milwaukee, Wis., between 1966-69. He made the varsity starting lineup playing guard and defensive end, while in his sophomore year. At Marshall he was a member of three City Conference Championships.
He was drafted in 1969 and served in the United States Navy as a Medical Corpsman, and was assigned to the Fourth Marines. Upon completion of service to his country, Collins was honorably discharged from active duty. As a result, he met his now wife of 35-plus years, Cynthia, and his stepson Stephen Mark White. Collins and his wife have two children, Vanessa Marie and Casey Collins.
Collins continued to play football while married at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee when it was a NCAA Division IAA program in the early 70's under the tutelage of Glen "Doc" Brady. He then went on to play semi-professional football with the West Allis Spartans.

Calculating the cost of personal use is as complicated as it is important. When an employee takes a personal flight on his company's aircraft, how do you calculate the trip's cost or value? The answer depends on who's asking the question and why.

Some of you only know the concept of diplomatic immunity from movies like Lethal Weapon 2, which have featured evil diplomats who use their immunity as a "Get Out of Jail Free" card after a hard day of killing, drug and firearm trafficking and attempting to blow up the toilets of senior policemen who have had enough of this shit.
In reality, this immunity is granted to keep diplomats from being harassed while they do their work in unfriendly nations. It makes sense, but as you can suspect, people abuse the living hell out of it, often to a hilarious and/or terrifying degree ...
6The Case of the Pipe-Smoking Terrorist
In 2010, Mohammed al-Madadi, an envoy from Qatar, was flying from Washington, D.C., to Denver, when he suddenly found himself craving a smoke. From here on out, we want you to imagine what would have happened had, say, you done this.
Al-Madadi retired into the bathroom, turned off the smoke alarm, took out a pipe (because if you're about to break the rules, you might as well go all out) and puffed away until a flight attendant smelled smoke and got suspicious. The flight attendant confronted al-Madadi, who emerged from the smoke-scented bathroom still holding his lighter, and asked what exactly the passenger was doing in there.
"It's OK! This is additive-free tobacco!"
Al-Madadi, possibly offended that this puny non-diplomat insisted on talking to him, answered with a blank stare and responded that he had, in fact, been trying to light his shoes on fire. Unfazed, the flight attendant asked al-Madadi for his lighter, which he of course refused.
So, let's recap: A suspiciously behaving man exits a bathroom that omits a strange smoke, makes a direct reference to Richard Reid's post 9/11 shoe-bombing attempt and refuses to cooperate with the staff. On a plane.
Washington Post
While being an Arab.
From that point, things escalated like the world's strangest Benny Hill sketch. The plane's U.S. marshals were called over to calm al-Madadi down. They grabbed him, put him in his seat and, while keeping an eye on him, alerted the pilot of the situation. The pilot, in turn, kicked things up a notch by sending out a "potential terrorist" status report, which led to the usual motions for this kind of situation, including sending out fighter jets and actually alerting President Obama about a terrorist scenario. You know, usual diplomat stuff.
Al-Madadi's ass was detained the second the plane landed, which is when it was found that he was, no shit, on his way to meet with a terrorist who was implicated in 9/11.
"I'm going to break him out of jail. Joke! I'm actually going to murder him."
Now fresh with a bucketload of terrorist accusations and a pretty big-ass bill for getting those fighter jets up on his back, and likely facing some serious jail time, what did al-Madadi do?
If you said immediately invoked diplomatic immunity and waltzed away to Qatar scot-free, then congratulations! You have a good sense of what's coming in the rest of this article.
5Mexican Press Attache Steals White House Phones
The North American's Leadership Summit is an annual event between the U.S., Canada and Mexico that more or less serves as an excuse for the USA to pat its neighbors on the back and tell them that they totally matter, too. In other words, it is a peaceful event with the sole purpose of strengthening the bonds between the three nations ... which makes the stunt pulled by Mexican press attache Rafael Quintero Curiel at the 2008 summit an even bigger dick move.
At the meetings, it was the habit of the participants to leave their phones on a table in a high security room outside the conference rooms (because nothing turns a friendly meeting into full-scale fisticuffs like a constantly buzzing BlackBerry). So a number of White House staffers thought nothing of parting with their phones for the meeting -- that is, until said meeting ended and the phones were nowhere to be found.
"Harper, if our ass-to-mouth video makes it online I swear to God I'll burn Toronto down."
Since each and every now-phoneless person was a political pundit and therefore had a BlackBerry filled with numbers and messages from some really big names (and presumably also with the kind of dirt that would make J. Edgar Hoover raise an eyebrow), a full-on freakout ensued.
Then someone thought to check the security cameras, which showed crystal clear footage of Curiel entering the high security room, filling his bag with sweet, sweet American phones and waltzing away without a worry in the world. "Holy shit, they just give out piles of free phones at these meetings! I AM THE PHONE KING!"
"Hello? Yes, I would like a new ringtone every week. People are being so nice today!"
The Secret Service sent teams of agents rushing to the airport, where the Mexican delegation was by then waiting for their flight back home. In true Hollywood fashion, the agents got to the airport in the nick of time, stopped the plane and confronted Curiel ...
... who gave them a little smile and said he had no idea what they were talking about.
Let that sink in for a moment. The man had blatantly stolen half a dozen phones from high ranking American officials on camera and his goddamn plane was stopped by the Secret Service. And he proceeds to give them a "Problem, officer?"
"It's my taillight, isn't it?"
Of course, his tone somewhat changed when the agents actually showed him the security camera footage. Not for the better, mind you: He now maintained that the whole thing was accidental and he had just found the phones, thought they were lost and was going to give them to the driver of his car to bring back to management at the meeting place.
The agents considered pointing out that this really didn't explain why he denied taking them in the first place, or why he took them at all, or why he was taking them to freaking Mexico, but Curiel had already proceeded to the next stage of his plan: waving his diplomatic passport in front of them like the "Get Out of Jail Free" card that it is. In the end, the agents did get the phones back, but the diplomatically immune Curiel was free to fly home.
Alan Levine
But not without his complimentary hotel toilet seat lid and 42" LCD TV.
And while the Mexican government did eventually fire his ass and subject him to a legal slap on the wrist of some kind, the fact remains that a man who got an inch away from stealing a whole lot of phones full of extremely confidential information from the freaking U.S. government went about his merry way, presumably flipping the Secret Service the bird as he went.

text: MTA President Anne Wass on proposed budget released by the Senate Ways and Means Committee We are disappointed that the focus continues to be on making deep cuts, instead of investing in education. While we fully understand the difficult economic times that we are in, we cannot lose sight of the pivotal role that education plays in our economy. Our students' success is key to our state's success. We must do all we can to provide them with the educational opportunities to grow and thrive and, ultimately, give back to our economy as productive, tax-paying citizens. The $27.88 billion budget scheduled for debate next week (week of May 24) is an improvement over the final House budget, but more resources are still badly needed. The draft budget includes $51.5 million in cuts to public higher education funding, a $116 million cut in Chapter 70 school assistance, and $37 million in cuts to local aid to cities and towns. That adds up to a 4 percent decrease in higher education funding, a 3 percent cut in Chapter 70 funding, and a 4 percent cut in local aid. We urge legislators in both the House and Senate to join with the governor in seeking full funding for local aid to cities and towns, Chapter 70 school assistance and our state's public colleges and university. We also urge legislators to give careful consideration to a series of proposals created to generate new revenue. Our public schools and colleges are critical to our students and our economy.

The search for a man from Singapore who was swept out to sea earlier this week was suspended Wednesday afternoon following a three-day, multi-agency effort, according to Kauai county officials.
Phua Chuan Chin, 62, is being reported as Kauai's ninth drowning for 2013.
Chin was one of two men swept out to sea Monday morning while walking the rocky and remote shoreline along Kalihiwai Point, just east of Kalihiwai Bay on the North Shore.
Chin's body could not be located despite this week's air, land and sea-based search with a team of rescuers including Kauai lifeguards, firefighters, police and the U.S. Coast Guard.
The second man, 47, from Ohio was able to make it back to shore after being swept out. Rescue Specialists then airlifted him from the scene to Kalihiwai Beach where awaiting medics transported him to Wilcox Hospital. He was released from care Monday afternoon.
The incident occurred during a high surf advisory that was posted for all north and west facing shores, warning of strong breaking waves and pounding shorelines.

Far Cry Nexus Launchedposted by Dark0ne Site NewsFollowing on from a great 2012 I'm keeping the momentum up with the launch of Far Cry Nexus. For those of you who are unaware, Far Cry 3 came out towards the start of December and in my personal opinion (and a few of the online publications I browse) it's one of, if not the best game released during 2012. I managed to sneak this gem in to my collection during the recent Steam Christmas sale and I haven't been able to put it down since. It's actually managed to curb my current DotA 2 addiction, which is quite a feat.
My experience with the Far Cry series has been a bit hot and cold. While I enjoyed the initial areas of the original Far Cry back in 2004 I found myself uninstalling it once I was getting assaulted by invisible mutants in dense jungle locations and never completed it. In 2007, Crysis came out which I enjoyed immensely, completing it several times. Development of Far Cry 2 moved from Crytek (Far Cry, Crysis) to Ubisoft Montreal (Assassin's Creed, Tom Clancy franchise) and was set in Africa, rather than a tropical island. The setting and the move from Crytek to Ubisoft left me a bit cold so I never got into the game, despite owning it. In 2011 Crysis 2 came out, and despite really wanting to like it, I'm not afraid to say I thought it was an absolutely terrible game and lacked any of the open, sandbox elements that made the original so good. With my confidence in Crytek shattered, I opened up a bit to the idea of Ubisoft Montreal's Far Cry 3 which was back on tropical islands. I lost my initial skepticism of the game within the first hour of play and am now thoroughly enjoying it and highly recommend it.
If you're not in the know about Far Cry 3, then here's a very quick break-down: if you like open sandbox games like Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, Fallout 3 et al, where you can move freely around a large map and pretty much do anything and everything then you'll like Far Cry 3. To put it in even more layman's terms; it's much like Skyrim with guns on a tropical island. It has hints of influences from Assassin's Creed, but by and large it's an amazingly unique game that is sure to keep you engaged for many, many hours.
It's all sounding great so far, right? Unfortunately there's a snag: while Ubisoft have released a map editor for multiplayer maps, they haven't released an SDK or editor for the main game, which makes modding a bit more tough. Not as tough as the recent XCOM game, but still, it does present a barrier to entry for some. With no official modding forums over at the Ubisoft Official Forums talk about modding has been restricted to a few rather large threads where new hints and tips are shared by budding modders. New mod announcement threads are lost among the myriad of other Far Cry 3 related discussions to do with anything and everything. Modders working hard to ensure they, and you, can make the most of the game deserve more than that, they deserve a dedicated place where they can share their work without getting drowned out by all the other game related noise. And that's why I think the game needs a Nexus.
Over the Christmas and New Year period I've worked hard on setting up Far Cry Nexus and getting in contact with as many of the known authors as I can, asking them if they'd be willing to share their work on the site and talking to a few about what I can do to help. The initial response has been good, and once again I'm here hoping to support a great game that could be even greater if only the modders were given the room they need to make the most of the game.
You'll already find the file database has been populated with some of the mods, and hopefully that will continue to fill up as word spreads and we can put a spotlight on the modding community for Far Cry 3. Honestly, if you're a bit burned out with modding for some of the other games we support right now I can highly recommend Far Cry 3 for filling the void. If you're finding it a bit hard to talk about modding on the official forums amongst all the other general chit chat for the game then our Far Cry 3 forums have been split up into separate categories to better accommodate modding chatter.
I'll continue to look into ways of helping to support Far Cry 3 modding, and I'd love to hear from any of you currently working hard to mod the game.

As with any single event, Hurricane Isaac doesn't tell us anything about whether hurricanes are getting worse due to climate change. But Isaac's impacts should be examined to teach us about our vulnerabilities to the types of extreme events scientists tell us climate change will make more common.
While there is nothing unusual about a Category 1 hurricane in late August, its large size and slow speed meant that Isaac's impacts were more characteristic of a much stronger storm. In some areas the storm surge rivaled that of Hurricane Katrina [2] and the 20 inches of rain that fell in New Orleans [3] (breaking a city record dating back to 1871) would qualify as a spectacularly wet month, let alone single storm. These impacts are consistent with what scientists expect in the future as rising sea level exacerbates storm surge and as hurricanes drop more rain [4].
The experiences of Louisiana and Mississippi communities as they cope with Isaac's deluge can help us prepare for future disasters. For example, one legacy of Hurricane Katrina was that New Orleans' upgraded levee system and emergency procedures were more effective with Hurricane Isaac. While other areas in Louisiana flooded, pumps in New Orleans were able to handle the rain and levees rebuffed a 12-foot storm surge [5]. In hard-hit Plaquemines Parish, the National Guard was confident they had safely evacuated everyone from the area [6].
However, there is still more work to be done, as evidenced by the overtopping of levees in Plaquemines Parish and Slidell, Louisiana [7]; mandatory evacuations due to the risk of levee failure at Lake Tangipahoa [8], Mississippi; and a contaminated water system [9] in St. John the Baptist Parish, Louisiana. As climate change increases the risk of extreme weather, it will be important to improve resilience.
The question is: How much more extreme weather can we take before adaptation efforts are simply insufficient? In the town of Jean Lafitte, Louisiana, Mayor Tim Kerner said, "We can't do this every year." While noting that his community was incredibly resilient, the constant flooding was taking a mental and financial toll that few could handle for long [10]. If we are to avoid this fate in the long run, we must both adapt to changing extreme weather risk and act to reduce CO2 emissions today in order to preserve our vulnerable communities.

4. Pearl Jam
Only one OF spot available for the Halos. Trumbo is definitely available and they are definitely looking for starting pitching. Hughes would probably love to go home.
I still think Hughes can be a solid contributor to our rotation for years. Maybe not an ace, but definitely a solid #3. But, if we don't have the cash to resign him after 2013 to a 4/$40 mil deal than I think we should just make the deal. We get a 26 yr old OF/1B with a power bat.
lol Hughes for Trumbo they might do that

I don't like Trumbo. The Yankees should extend Hughes. Kuroda and Pettitte are gone after 2013. Pineda might not ever come back. Trading Hughes would open up too many holes in the rotation for next season...
Extend Hughes 4/36
Sign AJ to catch for 1/10
Trade for Soriano
Does anyone realize how badly Trumbo struggled during the 2nd half of last season? The guy has lots of raw power and he looked liked he turned the corner during the first couple months of the season. He was getting on base and at a good clip. However he fell off a cliff and went back to the guy who can't get on base and swings at everything. I think he has potential but I'm not sure this team needs another power hitter with a low OBP and likes to swing freely.

They threw his name out there to see if the Mets would bite. They want some Dickey.
I also think Trumbo is incredibly overrated. A guy with a career .302 OBP is nothing to get excited about.
