More than half of Alabama's 25 newcomers were rated four- or five-star talents by Rivals.com.
Here's where the top 10 recruits in the country landed:
Robert Nkemdiche, DE, Loganville, Ga./Mississippi. Nkemdiche, who has a big upside at 6-feet-4, 282 pounds, is a major coup for Ole Miss. He will step in right away to join his brother, a defensive back who led the Rebels in tackles last season.
Reuben Foster, MLB, Auburn, Ala./Alabama. Foster changed his mind late in the game and picked the Crimson Tide over Auburn. He's ranked No. 1 at his position.
Jaylon Smith, OLB, Fort Wayne, Ind./Notre Dame. James is considered a big-time athlete who could make an immediate impact in South Bend. His brother, Rod, is a running back at Ohio State.
Su-A Cravens, S, Murietta, Calif./USC. Cravens, who showed great versatility in high school as a two-way player, is the country's top-ranked safety by Scout.com. He enrolled early at Southern Cal, which could help him see playing time next year.
A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Arlington Heights, Texas/Alabama. Robinson is a five-star player who is considered the No. 1 defensive tackle in 2013. Pulling him away from Texas is considered a nice prize for the Tide.
Vernon Hargreaves III, DB, Tampa, Fla./Florida. Hargreaves heads an impressive list of Florida recruits. He is ranked the top cornerback on most national lists and was an MVP in the Under Armour All-American game.
Matthew Thomas, LB, Miami, Fla./Florida State. A five-star recruit, Thomas chose the Seminoles over Miami and could compete for playing time next season at the Sam linebacker spot.
Laremy Tunsil, OL, Lake City, Fla./Mississippi. The second player in the top 10 to land with the Rebels. Tunsil is literally a huge get at 6-feet-5, 295 pounds and was ranked the No. 1 offensive lineman nationally.
Kenny Bigelow, DT, Elkton, Md./USC. Bigelow went west to Southern California. Like fellow top-10 recruit Su-A Cravens, Bigelow already is enrolled at USC and should have a shot at playing right away.
Montravius Adams, DT, Vienna, Ga./Auburn. Adams checks in at 6-4, 310 pounds and is considered a strong pass rusher. He has a chance to get on the field early under a new coaching staff.

Police capture stabbing suspect
PARKERSBURG – A Parkersburg man wanted for allegedly stabbing two people on Spring Street last week was arrested Monday by Wood County sheriff's deputies.
Ira Blair Hyde, 54, of 1616 Spring St. is facing malicious wounding and grand larceny charges after allegedly stabbing his neighbors David Whitlock and Mary Alvarado following an argument on Spring Street early Thursday morning and later stealing a vehicle.
Hyde was found by Wood County sheriff's deputies on West Virginia 31 around 2 p.m. Monday.
Parkersburg police and the Wood County Sheriff's Department had been searching for Hyde for several days, said Chief Law Enforcement Deputy Shawn Graham with the Wood County Sheriff's Office. "The two departments have been working together on multiple investigations lately that have produced some good results," Graham said.
A criminal complaint filed in Wood County Magistrate Court last Thursday alleges Hyde began yelling at his neighbors from a window. Whitlock, 51, of 1614 Spring St. came out into the street to tell Hyde to stop yelling, officials said.
Hyde exited his residence, approached Whitlock and began swinging his arms while holding a knife, officials said. Whitlock was unarmed.
Police said Hyde stabbed Whitlock once in the chest. Alvarado, 51, of 1614 Spring St. was stabbed several times by Hyde after trying to stop the dispute, police said.
As the victims yelled for help, Hyde fled the area on foot, police said.
Whitlock and Alvarado are in stable condition at Camden Clark Medical Center.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Hyde without incident as a fugitive from justice, police said.
Hyde was arrested in the parking lot of the Golf Club of West Virginia after an off-duty sheriff's deputy spotted a vehicle matching the description of a stolen vehicle from the Briarwood IGA at 12335 Emerson Ave. Sunday night, police said.
"(The department) is very proud of the job Deputy (R.A.) George did, being alert, paying attention," Graham said.
George was on W.Va. 31 when he noticed the 2002 Ford Explorer that had been stolen at about 5:40 p.m. Sunday from the IGA. George was on duty that night and had written the report for the stolen SUV, Graham said.
The off-duty deputy notified dispatchers with the Wood County 911 Center he was following the stolen vehicle near the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport Monday afternoon. George continued to follow the stolen vehicle in his personal car when he turned into the parking lot of the golf club, according to the police report.
George blocked the suspect in and detained him until deputies arrived, Graham said.
He helped Wood County sheriff's Sgt. Jason Allen take the suspect into custody, the report said.
Hyde was charged with one count of felony grand larceny and two felony malicious wounding charges in Wood County Magistrate Court Monday around 3:45 p.m., officials said.
After being taken into custody, Hyde told deputies he had stolen another vehicle, a 1995 Mazda Protege, around 10:58 a.m. Sunday off Swann Street in Parkersburg, officials said.
Parkersburg police detectives arrived on the scene to assist deputies Monday. Hyde informed officers of the location of the second stolen vehicle, police said.
The Protege was found along W.Va. 31 near Meredith Manor Monday night, police said.
Hyde did not post the $425,000 bond set by Magistrate Robin Waters Monday afternoon. He was confined on the charges. The second grand larceny incident is expected to be presented to a grand jury, officials said.
Hyde has been arrested on manslaughter, armed robbery, escape and fleeing while driving under the influence charges since the 1980s, police said.

The Peace Corps has been working in Paraguay since 1967, and is one of the oldest continuously operating Peace Corps posts in the world. The first Volunteers arrived in country in 1967 to work in agriculture extension in rural areas, and programs were soon established to work in the health and education sectors as well.
Nearly 3,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in Paraguay since 1967, and about 90 Volunteers arrive each year. Today, approximately 200 Volunteers are working in the six major sectors of agriculture, education, environment, health, small business development, and urban youth development.
Peace Corps Volunteers have always been warmly welcomed throughout Paraguay. Contributing to this receptivity are the efforts that Peace Corps/Paraguay has made to foster cultural sensitivity in its Volunteers, to place them directly in the communities to live at the level of the people with whom they work, and to stress the importance of communication in the indigenous language, Guaraní, as well as Spanish.
Peace Corps History
Main article: History of the Peace Corps in Paraguay
The Peace Corps has been working in Paraguay since 1967, and the country is one of the oldest continuously operating posts in the Peace Corps. After the government of Paraguay and the Peace Corps signed a joint agreement on November 4, 1966, the first Volunteers arrived in 1967 to work in agricultural extension in rural areas. Before long, projects were also established in the health and education sectors. Nearly 3,000 Peace Corps Volunteers have served in Paraguay since 1967, and more than 40 years later, an average of 130 Volunteers arrive each year. Today, approximately 200 Volunteers are working in the five major sectors of agriculture, community economic development, education, environment, and health. Many former Paraguay Volunteers continue to stay informed about the country's affairs and assist in development efforts in the country—years after they completed their service. At the same time, returned Volunteers have contributed a great deal to increasing Americans' knowledge and appreciation of Paraguay and its people.
Living Conditions and Volunteer Lifestyle
Main article: Living Conditions and Volunteer Lifestyles in Paraguay
Most Volunteers live and work in rural areas, but a growing number are being assigned to work in urban centers in response to the recent increase in urban migration. The latest census shows that more than half of the population lives in larger towns or cities. Your Volunteer Assignment Description (VAD) should indicate whether your project site is likely to be urban or rural. All Volunteers spend some time in Asunción because it is the location of the Peace Corps office, as well as the site of conferences and some in-service training.
About 80 percent of Volunteers live in small towns or villages with fewer than 5,000 people, and some of these campo (countryside) sites have fewer than 200 inhabitants. Most (but not all) have electricity, as the country has increased the availability of electricity from 24 percent of Paraguay's 3 million people in 1978 to more than 60 percent of the current population of about 6.2 million. Generally, streets in the campo towns are unpaved, and there is no running water or indoor toilets. Few people in these towns have traveled outside Paraguay, and many have never even been to Asunción. The only people with cars are likely to be the doctor, the priest, and a few business people, government officials, and ranchers. Horses, motorcycles, bicycles, and ox carts make up the majority of local traffic, with children playing freely alongside roaming cows, pigs, and chickens.
For both rural and urban Volunteers, housing in Paraguay is basic. Volunteers are required to live with a Paraguayan family during their initial three months of service. Some Volunteers then choose to live alone in one- or two-room wood or brick homes; others choose to live with a Paraguayan family for their entire two years of service. Peace Corps/Paraguay strongly recommends that Volunteers, especially single women, consider this option. Living with a family not only helps with community integration, but also decreases personal security risks. If you choose to live with a family, the furniture will be adequate and functional, but probably not overly comfortable. If you choose to live on your own, you will likely need to furnish the place yourself.
Volunteers who live in the capital or other large cities will have easier access to services such as running water, electricity, telephones, public transportation, and the Internet. They will also enjoy many of the same shopping and entertainment amenities found in similar-size cities in the United States.
Main article: Training in Paraguay
Pre-service training (PST) is the first event within a competency-based training program that continues throughout your 27 months of service in Paraguay. PST ensures that Volunteers are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to effectively perform their jobs. Training is conducted in Paraguay at the Peace Corps Training Center by the training staff, with participation from current and former Volunteers, program managers, some representatives of Paraguayan organizations, medical officers, the safety and security officer, the program and training officer, and the country director. The length of PST varies, usually ranging from 10 to 11 weeks, depending on the competencies required for the assignment. Peace Corps/Paraguay measures achievement of learning through written tests that have a minimum score requirement, through ongoing qualitative technical assessments of the various tasks assigned trainees, through periodic personal interviews and language interviews, through a self-evaluative process called TAPS, through staff observation of the trainees in their communities, and through conversations with the host families and other members of the satellite community. If a trainee has successfully achieved competencies, including language standards, he/she is then sworn in as a Peace Corps Volunteer.
Throughout service, Volunteers strive to achieve performance competencies. Initially, PST affords the opportunity for trainees to develop and test their own resources. As a trainee, you will play an active role in self-education. You will be asked to decide how best to set and meet objectives and to find alternative solutions. You will be asked to prepare for an experience in which you will often have to take the initiative and accept responsibility for decisions. The success of your learning will be enhanced by your own effort to take responsibility for your learning and through sharing experiences with others.
Peace Corps training is founded on adult learning methods and often includes experiential ―hands-on‖ applications such as conducting a participatory community needs assessment and facilitating groups. Successful training results in competence in various technical, linguistic, cross-cultural, health, and safety and security areas. Integrating into the community is usually one of the core competencies Volunteers strive to achieve both in pre-service training and during the first several months of service. Successful sustainable development work is based on the local trust and confidence Volunteers build by living in, and respectfully integrating into, the Paraguayan community and culture. Trainees are prepared for this through a "homestay" experience, which requires trainees to live with host families during PST and during their first three months at their site. Integration into the community not only facilitates good working relationships, but it fosters language learning and cross-cultural acceptance and trust, which help ensure your health, safety, and security.
Woven into the competencies, the ability to communicate in the host country language is critical to being an effective Peace Corps Volunteer. So basic is this precept that it is spelled out in the Peace Corps Act: No person shall be assigned to duty as a Volunteer under this act in any foreign country or area unless at the time of such assignment he (or she) possesses such reasonable proficiency as his (or her) assignment requires in speaking the language of the country or area to which he (or she) is assigned.
Health Care and Safety
Main article: Health Care and Safety in Paraguay
The Peace Corps' highest priority is maintaining the health and safety of every Volunteer. Peace Corps medical programs emphasize the preventive, rather than the curative, approach to disease. The Peace Corps in Paraguay maintains a clinic that is staffed full time by a physician and a registered nurse, who take care of Volunteers' primary healthcare needs. Additional medical services, such as testing and basic treatment, are also available in Paraguay at local, American-standard hospitals. If you become seriously ill or have a condition that cannot be handled adequately in-country, you will be medically evacuated to either Panama or the United States for treatment.
Diversity and Cross-Cultural Issues
Main article: Diversity and Cross-Cultural Issues in Paraguay
In Paraguay, as in other Peace Corps host countries, Volunteers' behavior, lifestyles, background, and beliefs are judged in a cultural context very different from their own. Certain personal perspectives commonly accepted in the United States may be quite uncommon, unacceptable, or even repressed in Paraguay.
Outside of Paraguay's capital, residents of rural communities have had relatively little exposure to other cultures, races, religions, and lifestyles. What people view as typical norteamericano behavior or norms may be a misconception, such as the belief that all Americans are rich and have blond hair and blue eyes. The people of Paraguay are justly known for their generous hospitality to foreigners; however, members of the community in which you will live may display a range of reactions to cultural differences that you present.

Packing List
Main article: Packing List for Paraguay
This list has been compiled by Volunteers serving in Paraguay and is based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that every experience is unique. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything we mention, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and professionally. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind that you have a 23 kilo, or 50 pound, weight restriction per bag, and a 2 bag limit. And remember, you can get almost everything you need in Paraguay. There are modern shopping malls in Asunción. Most small appliances, such as blow dryers and CD players/radio, are available. Clothes can be purchased or made for a modest price, and thrift stores offer used American clothing.

12 Cognitive Biases That Endanger Investors
What you don't know can impact performance.
I recently came across a terrific article that addressed 12 cognitive biases that prevent human beings from behaving rationally. As perception is reality in the financial markets, I thought it might be useful to address those issues through the lens of a trader.
1. Confirmation Bias
This is a fatal flaw of trading; we tend to surround ourselves with information that validates our own point of view and dismiss input that conflicts with our reasoning (also known as cognitive dissonance). This is the primary reason why we always strive to see "both sides of every trade" as the residual grist between variant views is where education-and profitability-resides.
2. In-Group Bias
This is a manifestation of confirmation bias, or the tendency to surround ourselves with those who share similar takes on the tape. This could pertain to our physical environment or a virtual experience, such as Twitter. Not only does this provide a false sense of security in our individual viewpoints, it makes us suspicious-or angry-with outsiders who dare to question how we feel. (See also: The Gold Scold.)
3. Gambler's Fallacy
One of the most famous disclaimers in finance is that past performance is no guarantee of future results. This bias is often referred to as a "glitch" in our thinking in that it extrapolates what happened in the past to construct an idea of what will happen the future. How many of you have played roulette at a casino under the premise that a string of red increases the likelihood of a black outcome? That's flawed thinking; the odds of red (or black, for that matter) or 48% on each independent spin.
4. Post-Purchase Rationalization
One of our Ten Trading Commandments is that the definition of an investment should never be a trade gone awry. Nobody initiates market exposure expecting to lose money, but we should never post-rationalize our risk (such as ignoring stop-losses or throwing good money after bad). We would be wise to remember that good traders know how to make money but great traders know how to take a loss.
5. Neglecting Probability
History is littered with stretches where in hindsight we're reminded not to confuse brains with a bull market. This bias limits our ability to properly assess risk, whether it's overstating an unlikely event (such as buying a stock for a takeover) or understating an unlikely event (such as Y2K, the fiscal cliff, or a terrorist attack). Tail events do happen, of course, but betting on an outlier is a long shot by its very definition.
6. Observational Selection Bias
This is when we suddenly notice something we haven't noticed before, and wrongly assume the frequency has increased (when it hasn't). Let's say I bought cannabis stocks as a way to play (what I perceive to be) the legalization of marijuana. All of a sudden, everywhere I look, there are more and more signs that support my thesis; the topic is featured on 60 Minutes, it's a hot-button issue during the election, it gained momentum in the mainstream media. While some of that may prove true, I am on the lookout for news, whether it's conscious or not.

Dairy group criticizes elimination of USDA report
A leading dairy group is criticizing the U.S. Department of Agriculture's decision to eliminate its milk production reports.
The USDA's statistical arm announced Tuesday that it would suspend multiple reports covering at least 10 agricultural products ranging from milk and chickpeas to cattle and catfish because of $85 billion in across-the-board federal spending cuts went into effect earlier this month.
Perhaps the highest profile reports on the chopping block are the agency's milk production estimates.
Chris Galen of the National Milk Producers Federation said Wednesday this is a big deal because the reports are used to make decisions about marketing milk and other dairy products and to set prices.
Galen says he's not aware of any other entities that produce the data dairy farmers need.

Vt. town reports cut pages and costs
Vermonters aiming to save tax money at March town meeting once scanned for fat in the budget mailed to them beforehand. Then local leaders calculated a way to cut costs even earlier in the process.
We are committed to reducing spending wherever possible, Green Mountain Union High School officials in Chester wrote voters this year. For the purposes of the printed annual report booklet, the budget presentation has been reduced to a 2-page summary.
Vermont law requires municipalities to publish an annual auditors statement, which many communities supplement with exposition from everyone from their town clerk to dogcatcher. But a rising number are saving printing and postage costs by delivering only the statutory budget basics and promising the rest to anyone who seeks it in person or online.
Take Manchester, population 4,391, which has divided its report into two parts.
Part A, mailed to all postal patrons of zip codes 05254 and 05255, includes the proposed budgets for the school district and municipal government, tax information, town meeting warning, minutes from previous town meetings and contact information, an attached note explains.
Part B featuring everything else is available to anyone who requests it.
This new method is designed to save the taxpayers money and reduce paper consumption, it says.
Townshend, population 1,232, has embarked on a multi-year initiative to reduce both financial impact and organizational stress associated with the production and distribution of the annual town report, auditors write.
Last year the town report was only mailed to registered voters, not to all town property owners. This year we have continued to reduce expenses by making the report available in PDF on the Townshend website prior to town meeting and only mailing a single copy to confirmed multi-voter households with their approval.
Next year the town may move entirely to email, auditors say.
As always, our goal is to reduce unnecessary expense where possible.
Whats lost and whats gained?
We have every intention of full disclosure, Ludlow Municipal Manager Frank Heald said at a recent Select Board meeting. But wed save $1,500 by not printing the entire 50-page financial and instead producing a summary.
Leaders of the town of 1,963 voted to follow that advice and make the information available upon request.
Maybe the number on how much we saved should go on that report page, Selectman Doug Ficken added.
In Bridport, population 1,218, The Select Board will be initiating a discussion at town meeting about the way town reports are distributed and how this could be changed to save money while still getting the information to those who wish to be informed, officials write.
Athens, population 442, and Halifax, population 728, both have ballot items asking, Shall the town provide notice of the availability of the auditors report in lieu of mailing or otherwise distributing the report itself.
Wilmington, population 1,876, will ask a similar question to see if the town, pursuant to Title 24, Vermont State Annotated, section 1682, will allow optional electronic delivery.
Some towns are already doing that. In Bolton, population 1,182, the auditors report promised on page 14 features the single sentence, The full auditors report is available at www.boltonvt.com.
Then again, the Internet has its own issues. Just ask the town clerk in Westmore, population 350: The town website was recently attacked by a virus. This required a complete overhaul. Hopefully it is now working better.
And his colleague in Sudbury, population 560: Please note the company I used for an email address for 20 years went belly up in August without warning its customers. My new email is email@example.com. Be sure to change your records.

Extreme Weather Belief Like A "pagan rite of human sacrifice to ensure a good harvest"
There was a time when Warmists said "weather is not climate! Yeaaaarrrrrrg!" Now, because fewer and fewer are buying into what they push (which they themselves refuse to act on, as witnessed by the yearly working vacations in exotic locations which produced tens of millions of tons of CO2), they have now moved on to "extreme weather" (some, like Al Gore, have even moved on to "dirty weather") in order to blame every weather event, including snow and cold, on someone else living a modern life
(NY Post) Superstorm Sandy. Parching drought across North America. A scorching midsummer heat wave in the Midwest. All these weather extremes are telltale signs that CO2 causes climate change, according to global warmists.
Indeed, the global climate-change nomenklatura gathered last week in Doha, Qatar eagerly (if grimly) cited Typhoon Bopha, which had just wreaked carnage in the Philippines, as the latest proof.
But it's not. The link between extreme weather and global warming has as much scientific basis as the pagan rite of human sacrifice to ensure a good harvest.
There is no long term trends in "extreme weather" having gotten worse. In fact, in some cases, extreme weather has gotten better. More is available at Watts Up With That? Suffice to say, Warmists are being their typical barking moonbat selves. And still haven't given up their own fossil fueled vehicles, much less reduced their own fossil fuels usage.
Extremes are a natural part of our climate, which constantly changes and is rarely stable for extended periods. In fact, weather extremes are the "old normal," not a "new normal," as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon proclaimed in Qatar.
Why can't so many rational, well-educated people understand this simple fact? The answer may be superstition.
I'd ditch that talk about "rational, well-educated", as most who are believers in "climate change" have no interest in doing research themselves to determine the reality, and, when one throws around the phrase "climate change", they aren't interested in science, they're interested in politics.
Climate-change skeptics might be regarded as modern-day witches because they think that global warming comes from natural forces. However, it's superstitious alarmists, who believe that extreme weather originates in our CO2 emissions and who have a dread of impending disaster, who are really the witches.
They may have a dread, but, until they act like it's a crisis and make changes in their own lives, there's little reason to believe it is a crisis. And, let's be clear, the debate is not about warming: the Earth has warmed a few degrees since the end of the Little Ice Age. The debate is about causation.

Christians are bound to others by the bonds of love which prevent them from doing anything that would injure another in any manner. This is the manifold law of love in action, fulfilling the law of Christ.
Love seeks to know and delight in pleasing another's discerned needs. It cannot ever work ill toward another. A person who loves his neighbor will not deprive him of his wife, his life, his property, or his good name. Neither will he permit the desire of lust to enter into his heart, leading him to covet another's possessions.
Christianity is holy and compassionate, seeking to secure peace and eliminate wickedness. In the midst of turbulence, it is "the salt of the earth and the light of the world". (See Matthew 5:13, 14)
Christ taught believers to continually look for the definite day of His return and keep the attitude of alert expectancy of His appearing. Christians need to awake from the sleep of fatal indifference and be proactive. Holy living makes one more careful and zealous to consider the nature of love, and the shortness of this present season of life.
The kingdom of God is approaching, calling Christians to redeem the time and watch for this great event, that they may be found in peace, without spot, and blameless. (See 2 Peter 3:14) Jesus Christ unites His disciples together, as they grow into His full likeness. This is not just receiving Him or believing the Gospel, but surrendering to His will, knowledge, and wisdom that imitates Him, in faith, hope, and love. Christians are to "put on the divine majesty" of Christ, being dressed with immortality and fit for glory.
Choate Baptist Church welcomes you to join them for Sunday School at 9:45 a.m., Sunday Morning Worship at 11 a.m., and Sunday Evening Worship at 7 p.m. They also meet for prayer on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. Brother Odom's message can be heard on KAML 990 AM and KCAF 92.1 FM each Sunday morning at 8:30.

May 24, 2013 —
Former Sullivan County Legislator Dr. David Sager, who was fired from his position as deputy commissioner of the Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) on May 16, has issued a statement about the matter.
He wrote, "I performed my duties as Deputy Commissioner of the Sullivan County Department of Family Services competently and professionally. Because Commissioner Parker has offered no reason to me or anyone else for my abrupt termination, I can only conclude I was let go as an act of retaliation for expressing to Mr. Parker my serious concerns about both past and present failures on the part of DHFS relating to individual cases and the inability of certain employees to conduct their work competently and in accordance with the law. DFS employees in my office have come forward to say I was a caring, productive, and hard-working colleague.
"Though Commissioner Parker and I occasionally disagreed on a course of action privately, I was always a supportive and deferential deputy. Recently Mr. Parker praised my work at a departmental meeting in front of the entire staff. In fact, leading up to the day of my firing, he and I were seriously discussing adding additional responsibilities to my portfolio.
"I am aware of the informative and spirited discussion that took place at the recent Legislature's labor sub-committee meeting. I am heartened by the willingness on the part of some legislators to dig in and begin the process of publicly asking the necessary hard questions about my abrupt and unexplained termination."
Before the firing, Sager seemed to be deeply involved in various matters and taking a leadership role in the department, working on such issues as foster care and taking part in county meetings. His firing came as a surprise to many people familiar with the workings of the county.
County chairman Scott Samuelson declined to comment on the matter because it involves a county employee.

WASHINGTON – League of Conservation Voters (LCV) President Gene Karpinski issued the following statement in response to Matt Cartwright's victory over Rep. Tim Holden in today's Democratic primary in Pennsylvania's 17th congressional district:
"LCV targeted Representative Tim Holden for defeat explicitly because he has opposed policies that will curb harmful global warming pollution and build a clean energy economy. Tim Holden is the first candidate this cycle to lose because he is out of the mainstream on global warming and clean energy, but he won't be the last."
LCV ran the largest independent expenditure campaign in this race, which included naming Holden to its 'Dirty Dozen' list. The centerpiece of the LCV campaign was a $230,000 television ad buy on broadcast and cable networks in the Scranton media market. The ad criticized Holden for opposing President Obama's clean energy plan. (View the ad here:http://youtu.be/-HaKhXOQN3A) Additionally, LCV conducted over 20,000 live phone calls to likely primary voters in the district.
A poll released shortly before LCV's ad campaign began showed Cartwright leading Holden by 6 points (42%-36%), with 22% undecided. Cartwright is now poised to defeat Holden by a significant margin.

Ha! Ha! lol
He should go to Turkey with Iverson. That would be fun to see. It would also make a good buddy Comedy.Due to a contract dispute, Stephon Marbury is no longer a member of the Shanxi Zhongyu Brave Dragons of the Chinese Basketball Association.
Despite the relative fame that Marbury garnered while playing for the Brave Dragons last year, the team asked him to take a significant paycut, which wasn't something Marbury was willing to do. Moreover, each CBA team is allowed just two non-native players, and every team has filled those international spots with the season close to getting underway. So unless an international player is cut, Marbury is, in both figurative and literal senses, a man without a country
"Can two former big time NBA players with big time personalitys work together to find there way back into the NBA?"
Ha! Ha! lol
I got to see KingStarburys reaction to this lmao.
bring him back to the NYK's =]
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
LOL, sorry boys cant blame this one on Isiah, Crawford, Curry, Dantoni, or Walsh!
Best of luck to him tho!
I do like the he and AI thing in Turkey.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
dudes, he's better then everyone else in china hands down iverson is coming off the bench over there in turkey and scoring 2 points the other day, does that mean the turkish dudes are better then A.I? HELL NO!
starbury back to NYK at veterans min.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
The title of this thread makes it seem like if Marbury got cut by the team.
He wasn't cut, he turned down their offer.
When Latrell Sprewell turned down the 21 million dollars offered by the Minnesota Timberwolves, was he cut? No, they offered him a contract, and he refused to accept it. It's the same scenario here.
I find it funny how everyone's talking about "Team Starbury", yet the haterburys are the ones who keep bringing him up.
Jeremon Linbury
This whole story is just a waste of important news. But i did find it hilarious that one of his demands was to have Mo Taylor on the team?????
Any chance Marbury pushed Isiah to trade for Mo Taylor? In that trade deadline debacle where we also got Malik Rose?
Those faggs weren't even gonna pay him that much. Why should he sign with them?
I see him coming back to the NBA and making a big impact on a team. The Heat should sign him, they can really use his defense. The Lakers could aslo use him too, he'd be useful on any team. Its just a matter of where he decides to take his talents to
I personally don't care, but I find it funny how people want to spin the truth by giving threads misleading titles.
The article says there was a contract dispute. It did not say they told him "you're off the team."
Marbury was the one who said "I'm out", because he didn't like the offer.
Bottom line.
Jeremon Linbury

Dr. Russell C. BriggsJanuary 30,2013
Dr. Russell C. Briggs
Dr. Russell C. Briggs
PORTLAND, Maine Dr. Russell Chamberlin Briggs passed away at home on Jan. 21, 2013.
He was born on March 13, 1932, in Montpelier, Vt., the second son of Raymond Alonzo Briggs and Carolyn Chamberlin Briggs. He was a graduate of Burlington (Vt.) High School and Middlebury College, class of 1954. Russell earned the degree of Doctor of Medicine from the Albany Medical College of Union University in 1958.
Following his internship at the Albany (N.Y.) Hospital, he completed his residency program in radiology at the University of Vermont hospitals. He served as radiologist at the U.S. Naval Submarine Base Hospital in Groton, Conn., from 1962-1964 and was discharged with the rank of lieutenant commander.
The years 1964-1968 found him on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin Medical School as assistant professor and director of the Division of Nuclear Medicine in the Department of Radiology. It was during this time when radioactive isotopes were being introduced into medical practice that Russ produced some of the early clinical studies of bone scanning using the isotopes strontium-85, strontium-87m and fluorine-18. His paper documenting the spread of cancer to the bony skeleton, published in the journal Cancer in March 1967, drew international attention to the use of bone scanning in the planning of cancer treatment.
Russ joined the staff of the Radiology Department of the Maine Medical Center in September 1968 and continued there until his retirement in September 1994. He served as director of the Division of Nuclear Medicine during this period and as chief of the Department of Radiology from 1987-1989. He held teaching appointments as associate clinical professor of radiology at the Tufts University Medical School and clinical professor of radiology at the University of Vermont College of Medicine.
He was a fellow of the American College of Radiology and held memberships in the Association of University Radiologists, the Radiological Society of North America, the Society of Nuclear Medicine, the New England Roentgen Ray Society, the American Medical Association, the Maine Medical Association and the Cumberland County Medical Society. He was particularly active in the Society of Nuclear Medicine, serving on the Executive Committee from 1974-1976, and as a national vice president in 1975. He was president of the New England Chapter of the Society of Nuclear Medicine in 1972-73. He was a member of the Commission on Nuclear Medicine of the American College of Radiology from 1973-1981. Russ was a diplomate of both the American Board of Nuclear Medicine and the American Board of Radiology for whom he served as an examiner from 1975-1994.
Russ authored 24 scientific papers and edited two publications for the American College of Radiology. He was a member of the editorial board of the journal Radiographics and served as a scientific referee for the Journal of Nuclear Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association and the journal Radiology. From 1994 to 2004, he was a member of the Radiologic Technology Board of Examiners for the state of Maine.
While he was truly devoted to the clinical practice of radiology and nuclear medicine, Russ particularly enjoyed his time as teacher and mentor for the continuous stream of residents and medical students who passed through the training programs at the Maine Medical Center. His was an environment of bilateral exchange of information and ideas. The Russell C. Briggs Award for Teaching was established in the Department of Radiology at the time of his retirement.
In 1961, Russ married his beloved wife, Barbara McKnight. Barbara lent constant support to his professional career. Together, they raised five children. Russ was particularly proud of his children and their many, varied accomplishments and activities. He often suggested that Barbara raised five only children. Russ always said that the happiest week of his life was spent with Barbara, their children and grandchildren in Vermont. To his children, Russ will be remembered as a supportive and wise father.
Russ enjoyed a long and happy retirement. He coaxed his friends to take art courses at MECA, and from that experience, he produced a houseful of colored pencil drawings which he loved to give to family and friends. Many happy hours were spent with the senior golf group at Falmouth Country Club where he was a member from its inception. A remembrance of Russ would need to include his affection for his dogs, Polly I, Polly II and Bantey.
Russ was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers, Raymond Jr. and John Martin Briggs.
In addition to Barbara, he is survived by daughters Katherine B. Dowling (Christopher), of Freeport, and Elizabeth B. Christensen (Andrew), of Cumberland; sons Thomas C. (Karen M.), of Charlotte, N.C., John D. (James Robinson), of Tempe, Ariz., and William H. (Deng Bin), of Hoorn, the Netherlands; four grandchildren, Wyatt and Quinn Dowling and Emily and Sarah Christensen; several in-laws, nieces and nephews.
Friends are invited to attend a memorial Mass at Sacred Heart/St. Dominic Catholic Church, Mellen Street, Portland, on Tuesday at 10 a.m. A reception will follow from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the University Events Room at the Glickman Library on the Portland campus of the University of Southern Maine.
The family would like to thank the first responders of the Portland Police Department and Fire Department for their prompt, capable and kind response. Arrangements entrusted to Conroy-Tully Crawford Funeral Home, 172 State St., Portland. Online condolences may be left at www.ctcrawford.com.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The Russell and Barbara Briggs Endowment Fund, University of Maine Foundation, P.O. Box 9300, Portland, ME 04104.MORE IN ObituariesAlan Ligourie

Commission hears funding requests
The Randolph County Commission heard several requests for funding from local organizations ahead of the 2013-2014 budgeting season at its regular meeting this week.
Karen Carper, the liaison for the Elkins ON TRAC program, asked the commission for $15,000 – close to double the amount of money ON TRAC received for the 2012-2013 fiscal year. ON TRAC's mission is to spur downtown revitalization and community development efforts with a goal of getting the city of Elkins designated a National Main Street through the National Trust Main Street Center, an arm of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
In order for Elkins ON TRAC to attain that status, it must hire a full-time employee – Carper is an Americorps VISA, and her term expires in early 2014.
"In the 2012-2013 fiscal year, you gave us $8,600," Carper told the commission Thursday. "We used $4,000 of that for staff operations and $4,600 for program needs. This year we're asking for increased funding of $15,000 to support full-time staff, which is a requirement for us to become a National Main Street."
Also Thursday, Sharon Bedford, the executive director of the Child Advocacy Center for Randolph and Tucker counties, asked for "level" funding, requesting neither an increase or decrease in the $15,000 the commission provided during 2012-2013.
Bedford reviewed the CAC's mission and briefed commissioners on some national and local statistics on child sexual abuse.
The CAC provides services and treatment to children who have been sexually abused, and works to prevent child sexual abuse.
Most notably, when a child has been sexually abused, the CAC makes it possible for the child to tell their story only one time to a forensic interviewer as opposed to up to 15 times, which was the standard prior to the inception of the CAC program.
"Statistics show that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 5 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday," Bedford informed commissioners. "That's about 20 percent of children."
In fiscal year 2012-2013, the CAC referred 69 children for mental health services, and the agency provided on-site assessment services to 48 families. Sixteen children received medical exams and treatment, and there were 1,182 instances of case management activities, Bedford said.
"With your support, children will not be retraumatized by the retelling of their story and children and their families will have a better chance to get the help they need in a manner that is considerate and respectful," Bedford said.
The commission made no decisions on those funding requests at Thursday's meeting.
In other business, the commission:
– Approved and signed a Victims of Crime Act grant application in the amount of $28,201, which pays for the salary of the victims services coordinator in the Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
– Voted to donate $2,000 to Tygarts Valley High School for its after-graduation lock-in.
– Voted to donate $1,500 to the Elkins Depot Welcome Center for its April 27 Ramps and Rails Festival, as well as two free concerts slated to take place in the town square this summer.
– Approved a request from Randolph County Office of Emergency Management Director Jim Wise to move E-911 dispatcher Scott Simmons from part-time employment to full-time employment, effective Monday.
– Approved and signed a grant contact in the amount of $4,000 with the Randolph County Humane Society.

The grandstands were packed, and it was almost standing-room-only as the graduates processed into Veterans Memorial Stadium to receive their diplomas on Friday night.
More than 220 seniors dressed in burnt orange caps and gowns created a sea of excited, nervous and happy young adults waiting for their next phase of life as high school is now behind them.
Guest speaker Jody Warner, a 2003 JHS graduate and now a prosecuting attorney in the Dallas area, inspired those gathered and told the graduates to challenge themselves to be their best.
Bell awards
Bell awards were presented to two teachers who greatly influenced the students and were nominated through written essays by the students. Bryan Webb and Victoria Elizalde wrote the essays for welding instructor Mike Mylnar (deceased), an exceptional teacher who had the respect of all those he touched in and out of the classroom. The Bell Award was accepted by his family.
Tevin Wilson's essay was directed at the one person who asked him to give more, on and off the football field. Head coach Troy Moses helped turn Wilson into a force on the field and in the classroom.
"I was lazy," said Wilson of his freshman year.
"My parents and Coach Moses helped turn me around. I changed; I worked hard in training and in the classroom. I finished in the top 10 percent of my class," said Wilson.
Diverse futures
Salutatorian Emily Barris, in her speech to the students, said that now was the time to show those who supported them all these years, just what they could accomplish.
"We have diverse futures ahead of us and will each make a different impact in this world," she said. "We were all given unique talents and interests that allow us to stand out as individuals. Whatever goal you choose to pursue, I urge you to do it with passion and to the best of your abilities."
Trying something new
She reminded the seniors not to be afraid to try new things.
"Life is not easy and will very often push us outside of our comfort zone," she said. "We must also never give up.
"Our country was founded by people who knew the power of determination."
Lessons, she said, can be learned from the past.
"Nobody believed this small group of rebels could create a resistance strong enough to overthrow their tyrannical government.
"But they did.
"Those citizens did not quit when the going got tough but instead gathered stones to face their Goliath and set in motion a revolution that would turn their 13 colonies into one of the most powerful nations the world has ever known."
Their generation, she said, will change the world — but only through hard work.
"We must not underestimate our importance because our generation is the future of this world," she said. "So work hard, never give up, and keep the faith because life is too precious to accept anything less."
Finding the right path
Taylor Castillo, in her valedictory speech, said that while many of her fellow graduates have already chosen the paths they will take in life,there are those who still undecided.
"In fact, I'm sure many of you are a little uneasy about some of the decisions you've already made," she said.
"But I want you all to know, if some of you are totally unsure of what it is you'll be doing after you leave today, that is completely OK too.
"Nobody knows exactly where they will end up in life.
"Life isn't planned out for us on a piece of paper and given to us."
Life, she said, is about change and growth.
"Choose to live life the way you want to instead of a life defined by what's on TV or what other people expect from you. Live the way that makes you truly happy, and reach for your dreams," she said.
Just the beginning
That night, she reminded, was just the beginning as many will continue on into higher education while others will enter the workplace.
"As we leave here tonight, I want each of you to remember that you are exceptional and to always live your life with integrity and honor," she said.
"Continue to be an inspiration to others in the next place your path takes you."

text: My son is currently 7.5 months old. He's been exclusively breastfeed or EBM through bottles so far. In 5 days I'm traveling oversea for work. We have almost enough EBM to cover my week long trip but will have to supplement some w/ formula. I'm okay with that. My main concern is maintaining my milk supply while traveling and whether my baby will reject my breasts once I return. To maintian a supply I'll be traveling w/ my handy Freestyle pump and will pump and dump on my trip. Any suggestions on how to make this week easier? Does anyone have any experience with extended absense from their baby? Any advice or words of comfort would be greatly appreciated!

What is in this article?:
- Supreme Court will review crucial biotech seed patent case
- First sale rights?
- Commodity seed controversy
- The Court's decision to review Bowman v. Monsanto Co., has created substantial discussion in agriculture regarding the scope of patent rights for agricultural biotechnology.
- What really has the agricultural law community talking is the planting of seeds not "saved" by the farmer from the previous growing season, but rather the purchase of seeds from a grain elevator (known as commodity seed).
The U.S. Supreme Court receives approximately 10,000 petitions per year asking it to review a particular dispute--called a petition for a writ of certiorari or petition for "cert."
As the Court cannot possibly hold an oral argument and decide each requested case, it usually selects the most critical 75-80 cases per year, with the term starting in October and running through the following summer.
Lawyers anxiously await the Court's decision on which cases it will hear and then speculate as to why it may or may not have accepted "cert" in a particular case and what this may mean for that area of law going forward.
Although agriculture undoubtedly is an important part of our national economy, it is relatively rare when the Court grants cert on a case directly involving agriculture.
The Court's docket tends to be congested with issues relating to the grand social challenges of the day, e.g., health care, affirmative action in higher education, freedom of speech, and balancing individuals' privacy rights with the needs of the police, to name a few topics on the Court's agenda for the 2012-2013 term.
The Court's decision to grant cert in Bowman v. Monsanto Co., therefore, has engendered substantial discussion in the agricultural law community regarding the scope of patent rights for agricultural biotechnology.
In Diamond v. Chakrabarty, 447 U.S. 303 (1980), the Court affirmed the ability to secure utility patents on "living" things such as microbes.
Life science companies quickly realized that many of their novel inventions, such as genetically engineered seeds, could qualify for utility patents. This provided an additional layer of intellectual property protection beyond trade secrets or plant variety protection certificates.
In J.E.M. Ag Supply, Inc. v. Pioneer Hi-Bred, Inc., 534 U.S. 124 (2001), the Court further affirmed that genetically engineered seeds could qualify simultaneously for both plant variety protection certificates and utility patents.
This provided agro-biotech companies an important means to protect their return on research investment by excluding the ability of competitors to appropriate their novel technology and incorporate it in their own seeds.
On the other hand, seed companies were left with a problem of how to prevent entrepreneurial farmers from saving this seed embedded with new (and expensive) technology. The "First Sale Doctrine" of patent law provides that once a patented product is sold, the new owner is free to make use of that product however he/she best sees fit.
For example, if I buy a patented chair, I could use it to sit on, or stand of top of it to reach into the top of my kitchen cabinets. And when I am done with the chair, am free to sell it to whomever I want, at any price I want and they are free to do whatever they want with that chair.

Your shopping cart is empty!
This is a very rare 1st run prototype Roc or Hammer in yellow with a blue stamp! Only pen marking on back is the weight at 180 grams. I have had this disc for many years bagged up in my Roc collection but recently someone told me that it is large diameter prototype hammer. I have a few hammers in my collection with the with all the old stamps but none have the curved bottom lip like this one. Looks and feels like a Roc to me. Same diameter and same lip and top as a Roc. None the less a VERY RARE disc either way you look at it. Brand new always bagged in perfect shape. Stamp has no flaws!

People love to play the victim these days. And why not? There are plenty of roles to go around. Be it a con artist preying on the kindness of others or a natural disaster wreaking havoc where it doesn't usually wreak, there seems to be an endless supply of new and exciting ways to turn regular people into marks and statistics.
As I've said before, not all of them actually deserve our support. Here are four more "victims" we should stop feeling sorry for.
4Tip Shamers Who Get Fired
Push/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Tip shamers are all the rage on the Internet these days. If you're not familiar with the term, just know that it's exactly what it sounds like. Someone leaves a shitty gratuity at a restaurant, the waiter or waitress uploads visual proof to the Internet, and, in theory at least, the awful cheapskate learns about Internet justice the hard way.
Pictured: The hard way, apparently.
Of course, that's never how it turns out. Unless the person being shamed is recognizable by name, chances are very few people will ever know they've been called out online. If it is a recognizable name, that probably means they're famous and have likely dealt with way bigger PR disasters than the public finding out they only tipped 8 percent on a tableful of Hooters wings.
Bowers/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Like admitting they got suckered into buying a calendar while they were there.
The only constant that seems to turn up in every famous case of tip shaming is that, in the end, the beleaguered employee who got shafted out of his hard-earned 20 percent also loses his job for making a scene. It's at that point that the Internet collectively goes into outrage mode and starts lambasting the tip shamer's former employer with angry tweets about how they can go to hell for siding with The Man instead of having their employee's back.
As fun as Internet vigilantism may be, there are a few problems with the rage that always surrounds a good tip-shaming story. First, there's the obvious point: The food servers of the world, as unfortunate as it may be, get shitty to no tips all the time. The majority of them don't act out on the Internet about it for the same reason most of them don't just hop up on a table and shame the tip misers right there on the spot as they're leaving the restaurant. Doing that kind of shit gets you fired, anyone who's seen the Dane Cook/Ryan Reynolds entertainment juggernaut Waiting knows that.
So these two and ...?
So what kind of people do you end up supporting when you lend your opinion to a tip-shaming fracas? The kind who can say stuff like this:
Must be nice!
That's a quote from an interview with the Internet's newest working-class hero, Brendan O'Connor. I did the highlighting myself using Photoshop. Drop me a line for all your graphic design needs. Anyway, he was fired from his job for posting this tweet after a company near the food truck he worked at placed a $170 order and failed to leave a tip.
Fight the power.
The Internet exploded with angry words for his former rolling employer, just as you'd expect, but would that still have been the case if everyone knew beforehand that this aggrieved employee was basically flipping grilled cheese sandwiches for shits and giggles to combat the crippling boredom that comes with not having to pay your own bills?
Even if not, the people who rallied around him did so knowing full well that he also said this:
"I asked some of the group as they were picking up their orders if they had intended to not tip. They hemmed and hawed and walked away."
That's a quote from an article O'Connor wrote for the Awl. That article was the starting point for most of the outrage surrounding this controversy, and not a single person seems to be asking the obvious questions.
The Awl
Such as "Did this kid really just refer to himself as a 'millennial'?"
First off, what kind of presumptive, entitled dickface just comes out and asks if someone is planning to leave a tip? Even if it was an honest mistake on the customer's part, is the $11 or so that you think should have your name on it worth looking like the biggest asshole in the world?
Beyond that, since when is tipping at a food truck a thing we're required to do? You don't tip at McDonald's, do you? How is this any different? People who wait tables are paid less than minimum wage with the expectation that they'll make up the difference in tips. Food truck workers are not. If I'm doing the majority of the delivery work, my only tip is that you should get your goddamn head checked if you think you're entitled to a tip.
3People Who Don't Read Fine Print
Hemera Technologies/Photos.com/Getty
I spent a lot of years laboring over hot telephones in various customer service factories before I finally settled into Brendan O'Connor's dream job here at Cracked. I answered customer service calls for everything from cellphones to health insurance to ... well that's it, I guess. Just those two things.
Nevertheless, that was enough time in the trenches to learn one undeniable truth about the average American consumer: When it comes to paperwork and the various terms and contracts we agree to on a regular basis, people don't read any of that shit.
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
To hell with your papers, corporate America!
In defense of all those truly awful people I talked to over the years, at least they had the good sense to call and ask questions about the things they didn't know. Some people don't, and that's how things like those "horror stories" about cellphone customers coming home from a trip abroad to find thousands of dollars in international roaming charges on their phone bill happen.
Like this guy, who talked his phone company into reducing a $22,000 bill all the way down to $200. He had a fairly legitimate argument in that the carrier should have notified him at some point well before things got that out of hand, but at the same time, finding out how your phone works when you leave the country is as much the customer's responsibility as anything. At least you should think of it that way if you'd prefer to just not come home to a crazy bill as opposed to fighting things out for hours (or days) on the telephone.
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
It's not as fun as this picture makes it look.
An unfortunate side effect of carriers setting up vast digital networks that cover almost all of the country is that one of the things cellphone customers used to live in mortal fear of, roaming charges, are practically a non-issue now. If you're somewhere in the United States where your phone doesn't work, you probably don't want to be there anyway and likely won't be ever again. Or you have AT&T and are in the downtown area of any major city.
Whatever the case, what I'm saying is that it's been a long time since most of us have had to worry about paying exorbitant roaming charges while traveling within the country.
Do you see Canada or Mexico anywhere on your coverage map, though? If you do, those countries likely aren't the same color as the land you call home, and I don't mean that in a racist way, even if it was kind of racist of me to make that declaration in the first place.
Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Because everyone in Canada is white.
The point is, if you just do some cursory research into things like "Will my phone work at the shady Mexican pharmacy where I buy my back pills?" or "Does my health insurance cover breast implants?" you can save yourself a ton of hassle in the future.
If you don't, it's nobody's fault but your own if drunkenly uploading every plate of poutine you eat to Instagram during that bender in Winnipeg eventually bankrupts you.
