Gaara: his sand jutsu is amazing and he gives me hope Kishi will turn Sasuke good again lol.
Kankuro: he is just a badass with badass puppets I love his jutsu as much as an others.
Lol I like the first reason. :p
my top 5 fav
1. LEE (always like him, tough for ship. series, not shown much but always thought he was funny)
2. Jiraiya (thought he hilarious, but also a great fighter if he had to be)
3. Kabuto (One of the few that like his flashbacks but he was against everyones fav Itachi + Sasuke so the guy had no chance to be liked, its tough growing up in a orphange and not knowing your family; people just hated the guy always calling him Oro's ******, but he surpass Oro in some ways [i dont believe all] with the power Oro had; hated how he got taken out; really like his coat and whole transformation to a weirdo)
4. Obito/Tobi - still learning about this guy but seem interested; like how tobi was in the beginning a big goof ball; then turned into "madara" a darker version.. probably moved down outside of top 5 when series is all said and done, or maybe higher.. but for now #4 as im interested in his story..
5. Naruto (kinda seem annoyed at him when he stops fighting to talk so much; but hes the main guy, and am rooting for him so the story can be complete i guess) // was gonna put minato but didnt see enough of the guy..
my top 5 badass characters
1. Madara - dude was consider one of the greatest ninja ever; OP now that he's edo
2. Itachi - was anything cooler than this guy at the beginning, he was mysterious a main focal point for sasuke
3. Orochimaru - creepy, never seem to back down from a fight, even took out the 3rd and he was playing him for the most part
4. Kisame - guy rough childhood, just a killer tough sharkboy, bloodmist + legendary swordclan member.. sounds badass to me
5. Minato - Not likely to see a goody guy here, but he's been shown to be a killer on the battlefield... and the way he totally teleported that attack from the ninetails to the a few miles outside the village was pretty cool.. hes smart, cool, a romantic, and sacrificed himself for the good of his newborn son and village.. all the makings of a badass here...
honorable mentions:
Naruto (Sage Mode) fight vs Pain (He was pretty badass there);
Zabuza (took out kakashi in beginning had an awesome sword too, great introduction villain to series);
Young Garra (a close second to Oro, in creepness factor..);
Obito/Tobi - theres so many personalities of this guy and we're still learning about him atm.. but last fight in zetsu suit was so bloody and awesome..;
Hanzo - dude was feared and took out the Sannin, i know he got owned by pain (sucks didnt really get to see it) owned huge part of territory of land
Sasuke - as much as i dislike the character (always found him whiny and saved and lucky; naruto is too btw) he has had some pretty badass moments too; taking out a weakend oro, deidra, danzo, and even the naruto fight at the end of the 1st series
Nagato/Pain - Dude is OP, naruto be dead if he wanted to kill him/not capture him.. same could be said of sasuke too though, took out a ton of characters, and a village.. he be at/near the top if he didnt reverse the jutsu

Good List!!
1. Itachi
2. Kakashi
3. Orochimuru
4. Tobi (the funny one)
5. Tie Minato/Madara
Honorable mentions Pain, Hidan, and Tobi (post Itachi's death)
1: Non- Edo Madara: EMS + Rinnegan. It's game over for any ninja. Not to mention he is a legend; a man know for his prodigy intelligence, mastery on taijutsu, ninjustsu, Genjutsu and his own EMS abilities. A force to be reckoned with. And let's not forget the six paths he can use.
2: Obito Uchiha: EMS + Rinngena. Even though you need both eyes for the 6 paths and even sharingen to harness its power fully, his space time Jutsu is extremely impressive. He has also shown an immense growth as a ninja. Shows how even a stone can be turned to diamond by the likes of Madara.
3: Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha: EMS Sasuke and MS Itachi are class S ninjas. Speed, intelligence, tactical abilities, you name it. And with their considerable mastery on sharinegn, they are a deadly pair. I can see all kage level ninjas losing to them.
4: Orochimaru: A prodigy that come once in many generations according to Sarutobi. That man made his own Justus and was leagues above his fellow sanin. His battle without his seals with the two and getting out undefeated proves it.
5: Kabuto: An extremely intelligent and deadly medical ninja who was at Jounin level at a mere age of 19. Not many ninjas can defeat him.
It seems like the number of Minato fans is getting higher and higher..!

It's a deceptive little text message that could lead to big losses.
"You won a gift certificate at a local store, text back to claim your prize and the other one was text stop to stop receiving these messages," said state consumer protector Bruce Kim.
But even he is vulnerable to what's called "mobile cramming."
Those text messages appeared on his cellphone.
There are text messages of all kinds, including one that offers free music ringtones or wallpaper, but in reality could cost you.
"A joke a day, your horoscope, celebrity news, you want to be careful with clicking on that," said Kim.
The problem is reply back and you could be racking up charges on your phone bill.
"It could be a dollar or $20. It's unwarranted, unsolicited, unauthorized charges on your cellphone bill. The problem is people don't check their bills carefully and it may not be there every month. It may be there one month and gone the next. It's becoming a nationwide problem and it's increasing in volume," said Kim.
The FTC is working with wireless carriers to resolve the problem of third-party vendors and these mystery charges.
States are finally wising up to what they're calling "unfair and deceptive practices."
Lynne Wilkens said she always scrutinizes her bills but had never heard of cramming.
"It sounds terrible. I do text, but I haven't gotten one of those, but I am going to be more careful not to click," said Wilkens.
Kim says to some the charges may seem too "manini" to bother with.
"It adds up. It adds up. The problem is that they are doing this on such a widespread basis, it is adding up to two billion dollars a year," said Kim.

A new report says about 400,000 fewer Wisconsin residents obtained health insurance through an employer than a decade ago.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Thursday the drop comes as fewer employers offer coverage and fewer workers opt to accept it.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation report stated the percentage of the state's population under 65 with health benefits fell to an average of about 69 percent for 2010 and 2011 compared with an average of 79 percent for 1999 and 2000.
The national average was 59.5 percent, down from about 70 percent in 1999 and 2000.
The report said about 3.3 million employees and their family members in Wisconsin got health insurance through work in 2011, compared with 3.7 million in 2000.

Weed Out at Mary Knoll Park this Saturday, May 17, 2014
This year, rain or shine, the Weed Out at Mary Knoll Park in Brookfield will be held on Saturday, May 17th, from 9am to noon. We may be having a slow spring, but the Garlic Mustard marches on! In most places, it is already up and easy to identify--some of it is already blooming.
Two 'Weed Out' Days at Mary Knoll Park! Saturday, May 4 & 11, 2013
This year there are 2 Weed Out days at Mary Knoll Park in Brookfield on Saturday, May 4th and then Saturday, May 11th. Both dates start at 9 am and finish at noon. We may be having a slow spring, but the Garlic Mustard marches on!
The first weekend's focus on May 4th, will be on pulling the invasive Garlic Mustard. It is already up and easy to identify. Don't worry if you are inexperienced. As always, Patty Gerner will give instruction on what to look for and how to pull the weeds. (Usually Gary Majeskie from Park & Rec. Forestry Department attends too). It is a great opportunity to learn about these invaders so you can check your own yard for the pests.
On the second weekend, May 11th, the more hearty will help Boy Scout Troop 23 volunteers dig out the bigger invaders: Buckthon trees and (possibly) Honeysuckle bushes. Both produce numerous berries and are prolific spreaders. The Buckthorn trees shade and crowd out native plants and trees; Honeysuckle berries irritate bird's digestive systems and provide no nutritional value.
To help, give the Parks, Recreation & Forestry department an idea of how many volunteers to expect, call 262.796.6675 to register. (Not necessary. If you forget to call, come anyway.)
So consider joining the group this Saturday and/or next at Mary Knoll Park, 615 S. Sunnyslope Road, just south of the I-94 overpass bridge, in Brookfield. I've been to most of the Weed Outs and it's always been an enjoyable workday, not to mention a great opportunity to enjoy a morning in the park and see the wonderful native plants that are thriving now that they aren't being crowded out by the aliens.
Wear gardening clothing and bring gloves.

It's Puffball mushroom season again
There was a buzz of excitement amongst the adults in my aunt and uncle's Brookfield home, as they laid their treasures on the kitchen counter. The grownups had just returned from a mushroom hunting expedition at Kinsey Park and the 2 neighboring homes and had struck pay dirt.

ONALASKA, Wis. -- Robert and Becky Glynn's love story starts like so many love stories. "We met in college. We were both on the UW-L track team. Shortly after we graduated, we got married."
They had two children together, Austin and Madison. But unfortunately for the Glynn's their love story ends like so many love stories. "We kind of just grew apart."
"I always tell people he's a great guy, a great dad, we just weren't compatible in the end for each other."
After 9 years of marriage, Becky and Rob made the decision to divorce. But they also made another key decision. "We always said from day one that we'd put the kids first. We would never argue in front of them or bad talk the other parent. Communicate with each other and not, 'go tell your dad this.' We kept them out of the adult stuff." We wanted what was best for the kids so we knew we had to get along."
"When some people get divorced they just want to make the other person's life miserable. If you decide to get divorced you just got to let go."
And let go, they did. As time passed, both Becky and Rob moved on. First, Becky met twin cites native Erick Berling online. "Eventually she decided to meet me for a night. That night turned into a weekend and that weekend into six years."
Meanwhile, Rob was doing some online dating of his own and a California mother of four named Jennifer Sly took a liking. "She stalked me on facebook." I didn't stalk him. I sent him a message and he messaged me back and that was that."
In 2008 Rob married Jennifer and Becky married Erick. And for awhile things remained civil but separate among the two couples. Until Becky and Erick welcomed twin boys to the world - changing the entire family dynamic forever. "Because it just kind of melded our families closer together. Because everyone wanted to be around the twins so we were just around each other a lot more."
Robert and Jennifer even offered to help out with Erick and Becky's twins. "People always ask, 'why do you babysit your ex-wife's kids?' And he says, 'they're my kids brothers.'
The more time they all spent together, the more they wanted to spend together. In fact the Sly's, Glynn's and Berlings even came up with one universal last name.
'The Slynnlings.' 'The Slynnlings.' 'The Slynnlings.'
The Slynnlings. 4 parents, 8 kids. One uniquely happy family. "There's biological and there's step and there's half and we treat them all the same. They're all brothers and sisters."
And perhaps most interesting of all the bonds formed is the amazing, unlikely friendship between Becky and Jen. "I've just started referring to Jen as my sister. Because I don't have one and were as close as that. Rather than referring to her as my ex-husbands wife."
"People are always telling us how, 'I don't know how you do it.' and I think, 'I don't know how you don't. It's hard enough even in the best of circumstances. Because it's not hard. It's made our lives easier."
But their lives are about to become anything but easy. And this unconventional family will have to lean on each other more than they ever expected.
What happens next is a true test of friendship and family. Tune in next week for part two of the 'Slynnling' family's story.

For Immediate Release

State officials visit McLean County Regional Alternative School
State Board to request restored Regional Safe School and truancy program funding to FY13 level
BLOOMINGTON – State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch and State Board Chairman Gery J. Chico visited Bloomington's Regional Alternative School, known as RAS, Thursday following the Board's monthly meeting in Normal. The RAS helps students stay on track and complete high school. It is one of 77 such schools throughout the state served by state grants that have seen a 66 percent reduction in funding since fiscal year 2009.
"These types of programs are critical tools in the effort to keep students in school and prevent dropouts," said Chairman Chico. "They often provide the bridge to a high school diploma and a brighter future. For many students, including some with disabilities, a change in environment, a new instructional approach and other support services proves to be a turning point, helping a student stay the course. This is an investment that pays dividends down the road for students as well as the state's economy."
The Regional Safe School funding line item helps provide alternative education for youth in grades six through 12 who are suspension- or expulsion-eligible due to severe misconduct and who are administratively transferred to a Regional Safe School Program at the discretion of the local school district in lieu of suspension or expulsion. This program includes academics, age/grade-appropriate work-based learning opportunities, counseling and community service.
The State Board of Education plans to ask the General Assembly later this month for $239,300 in supplemental funding to restore the Alternative Learning/Regional Safe Schools line item funding to the fiscal year 2013 levels. Regional Safe Schools funding has decreased from about $18.5 million in fiscal year 2009 to $6.3 million in fiscal year 2014, resulting in nearly a thousand fewer students served at such schools and fewer staff members to support student achievement. Additionally, the Board plans to request $500,000 in supplemental funding for TAOEP, the Truants' Alternative and Optional Education Program, to also restore the budget line to the FY13 level.
The TAOEP funding line has decreased 43 percent from about $20 million in FY 2009 to $11.5 million in FY 2014, resulting in a 77 percent drop in the number of students served across the state. Truancy prevention and intervention programs integrate resources of the school and community to meet the needs of the students, including those who are age 21, and their families. Optional education programs serve as part-time or full-time alternatives to regular school attendance and offer modified instructional programs or other services designed to prevent students from dropping out of school.
Mark Jontry, regional superintendent of the DeWitt, Livingston and McLean County Regional Office of Education, said cuts to a variety of grants, including General State Aid and transportation, have also hurt the office's ability to serve and intervene earlier in a student's life. The state's K-12 education budget has been reduced since fiscal year 2009 by more than $700 million dollars, including $165 million in General State Aid. Regional Safe Schools are non-taxing entities, receiving no local property tax revenue.
"As fewer students are being given the opportunity to place themselves in an environment which is better suited to meet their needs, these students are then more apt to run into problems and be suspended or expelled," Jontry said. "They end up coming to us anyway but due to a negative situation rather than by choice."
The Bloomington-based RAS serves nearly 200 Safe School students from DeWitt, Livingston and McLean counties. The Regional Office of Education also oversees services to an additional 550 students in all three counties who are struggling with truancy, homelessness, learning challenges and the need to recover credits, or catch up, in order to graduate.
Many of the schools' graduates say the schools' smaller class sizes as well as academic and personal support helped them re-engage in learning and school.
"It gives kids who are going through a rough time a chance. I probably wouldn't have been able to get my diploma without it," said Sarah Murray of Bloomington, who graduated from Normal West High School in May after spending two years at the alternative school. "RAS gave me the ability to graduate high school with pride and also prepared me to be successful in the real world."
Ms. Murray is now attending Heartland Community College and plans to get her bachelor's degree with a major in criminal justice.
The supplemental funding of for both the Regional Safe Schools and the TAOEP would support more struggling students and their families to prevent students from dropping out of school, and allow more suspension and expulsion-eligible students to be placed in alternative learning settings to continue their education. All 48 Regional Offices of Education, including the three Intermediate Service Centers in Cook County and Chicago Public Schools receive RSSP grant funds. Seventy-two TAOEP grantees, including community colleges, school districts and Regional Offices of Education, provide integrated truancy services.

KD lacks heart.
You think Jordan would of passed up a last minute shot?
KD is too cautious of his FG% and that will hold OKC back from taking risk and being rewarded.
Jackson should never be the man to the last minute shot, it doesn't matter if he's wide OPEN. He missed two wide open shots previously. KD was shooting 70% within the game and could afford to skew his FG%
Ibaka and Westbrook will be all star talents with or without KD. KD's passing is more less of a skill and just an attitude of caution he carries around himself.
Kevin Durant sucked defensively this game. Parsons and Delfino had his way with him and Durant was all offensive this game.
I can't wait to see Houston steal another win from OKC.

WHAT IS IT? A self-contained kit that stockpiles 250 of the most commonly used bolts for a Honda CRF250, CRF450 or CRF150.
WHAT'S IT COST? $49.95 (250 bolts), $29.95 (120 bolts), $14.99 (bodywork only).
CONTACT? www.specbolt.com or (770) 363-6580.
WHAT STANDS OUT? Here's a list of things that stand out with the Specbolt 250-piece Honda bolt kit.
(1) Grading. Specbolt uses 10.9-grade, zinc-plated bolts that exceed most standard motorcycle and ATV manufacturers' specs. Grades 8.8 and 10.9 are the most common metric bolt grades. Grade 8.8 (carbon steel that has been quenched and tempered) has a tensile strength of 120,000 psi. Grade 10.9 (alloy steel that has been quenched and tempered) has a tensile strength of 150,000 psi. Note that metric bolts have two numbers?8.8 or 10.9. The first number, the 8, for example, is the tensile strength, and the second number is the yield strength. In both cases, the higher the number, the stronger the bolt. Specbolt's hardware is high quality.
(2) Selection. The 250-piece kit includes almost everything you would ever need for your CRF250/450. Specbolt makes identical kits for Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and KTM owners (and they will custom-make sets for vintage bikes). The kits include most of the bolts you would need for your cases, clutch perch, plastics, fenders, number plates, magneto covers, cases, coils, fuel tanks, radiators, fork guards, triple clamps, handlebar clamps, brake calipers, chain rollers and much more.
(3) Cool factor. We took our Specbolt kit to a Honda factory mechanic and had him evaluate it. He was impressed to find crush washers for both the oil-drain plug and water-pump bolts. Additionally, the chain-adjuster bolts were well thought out, as were the shoulder bolts for the radiator shrouds and fork guards.
(4) Missing. One $50 kit can't include everything you'll ever need. Our experienced Honda wrench noted that there were no seat bolts (which have changed from 2012 to 2013), no axle nuts, no brake-rotor bolts, and no oil-drain bolt. However, when you lose these parts, your day is most likely done.
(5) Container. The Specbolt kit comes in an 18-compartment plastic tackle box, which fits very readily under the front seat of a truck.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? No matter how many bolts you carry, you always lose the one you don't have. So, without paying a lot more money or lugging around a much bigger box, we can live happily with the 250 bolts in the Specbolt kit.
Shakespeare was on to something in Hamlet when he wrote, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be; for loan oft loses both itself and friend." With Specbolt's 250-piece bolt kit, you will never have to borrow another bolt at the track. Lending is up to you.

Dodger Season ticket holders in the last two rows of Top Deck are displaced
Dodgers are breaking our hearts and our season ticket family my removing the last two rows (R& P) of the Top Deck. I felt like they served me an eviction noticed when I got the call on Wednesday
I think instead of a call the day before they opened Select A Seat meetings for Season ticket holders, we should have been notified way before. The Dodgers said that they were holding rows O & N for the displaced fans yet when I went yesterday the only open seats in my section (3) on what will now be the last row (O) were three seats.
I will miss having my season ticket family together. I will miss having my friend Lorena next to me watching the game while we make plans for our road games. I will miss Ray and Ray Junior asking them "what happened in that play" since they also keep score.
I will miss Steve & Rhonda and their two little girls. Rhonda emailed me wondering what everyone is doing about the seats. She tells me "The girls will miss their best friends!!" Rachel likes to sit with Lorena and I and dance with us during Adrian Gonzales att Bat music. She also likes to sing with us Take me out to the Ball Game and "God Bless America"
I will miss Martha & her husband and kid. I will miss Todd and wife and their two sons. I will miss Chuck and Robin. I will miss Mary & Art. I will miss Joe and his girlfriend. Where is our Candy Man James with his dad and his two kids going to sit? Sad day for the displaced season ticket holders in the last two rows of the Top Deck. How far apart are all of us going to end up?
I was told that the removal of the seats is to expand the handicap area but that the sections with the wall will be Standing Room only. I feel like the casual fans that will take the "Standing Room only" are more important than the faithful season ticket holders. Another reason that I liked my last row is that is in the shade and I can watch the game standing up if I like without anyone in back of me.
Other season ticket holders are also moving because now instead of only the first row having a higher price, rows A thru H will have a higher price. Between those season ticket holders moving beyond H and the ones from the last two rows there are not many choices left.
I ended up with seats in section 3, the new last row. Ray ended up in Section 5. Rene in section 2. Margie in section 2 but moving to the handicap when those are built. Lore has an appointment on Monday, the earliest she can meet them. Jeanine and two other friends moved from row B in section 3 to row L. I have not heard from the rest.

Wow, pretty bold to think the Dodgers will need SRO places. A bit of a reach, don't you think?
You can't stop the candy! You'll just have to sit somewhere else up there! Let me know.
I don't get it Emma. The Dodgers to me aren't being very nice to their season ticket holders. I hope that Lorena ends up sitting with you. I am moving my seats too, staying in reserve but moving out futher to the foul pole to keep my price at $6.00 each.
Kristen, Agreed. More time to get our group together would have been nice. as it was we were scrambling to call each other and some we could not get a hold of. There is one person that has season tickets that I DO NOT want him sitting next me. He needs to improve his higiene a lot!

Deputies found vehicle in farm yard
Western Wisconsin sheriff's officials are investigating the death of a person whose remains were found in a burned vehicle.
According to a Pierce County sheriff's department statement, someone reported finding a burned vehicle in the Town of Trenton, about five miles from Ellsworth, at 8:20 a.m. Saturday.
The department said deputies found the vehicle in a farm yard where no one lived. They checked the interior and found human remains.
The vehicle was not on fire when officers found it.
The Ramsey County Medical Examiner's office in Minnesota is expected to perform an autopsy to try to determine the person's identity.

Nurturing Youth Leadership in IraqSep 2, 2013
70 young people attended a UNDP organized Youth Training Camp at the American University in Sulymaniya from 18 to 24 August. The Camp sought to nurture youth leadership through the capacity building of master trainers amongst the participants. These had previously been selected from nearly one thousand expressions of interest, based on specific selection criteria and gender equality. This event represents a continuation of UNDP's efforts to empower youth in terms of their participation in Iraq's political future.
Three areas were highlighted as a result from a participatory needs assessment of training requirements: training of trainers; project management; and, youth mobilization. Aside from the skills imparted by senior international trainers and UNDP, one critical outcome of the event was the building up of trust and unity among the participants, who were from all parts of Iraq and from diverse ethnic and religious representations.
One participant said "The first thing that I noticed upon arrival to the American University was the diversity in so many things: where we're from, our beliefs, our educational backgrounds, etc., and the thing that I realized upon the completion of the training was the unity in our humanity. Each one here has a special story to tell."
The Training of Trainers workshop focused on providing knowledge, techniques and different approaches to be used while designing, implementing and evaluating training.
The Project Management Training workshop focused on building the capacity of participants to review their previous projects, redesign, evaluate and learn about project cycles, including logical frameworks.
For the Youth Mobilization workshop, the trainers addressed advocacy tools that can mobilise youth to achieve specific objectives and influence decision making in the public policy making process. The workshop also addressed the use of social media in mobilising youth.
The impact of the training was not limited to the participants and the volunteers. The students of the American University were very much involved in different activities and willing to build relationships with the participants as well. One student said, "We have different NGOs and clubs within the university but we are facing problems with engaging youth in our activities as volunteers – we learned a lot from the participants during these days."
The event was covered extensively across Iraqi social media and by the fourth day of the training camp, a page on Facebook was created (Iraqi Youth café https://www.facebook.com/IraqiYouthCafe). The page has already been viewed by 50,000 people across Iraq.
The next step is to help the participants design and implement their activities by engaging their communities and decision makers. Their activities will lead to the next step of the project, a meeting with the Iraqi Parliament in two months. By the end of this year there will be an evaluation meeting with youth to evaluate the process of this project and how to make it sustainable.Contact

Chupacabras are blamed for a number of unexplained animal deaths. Chickens, pets and goats are found dead with puncture marks on their throats. The carcasses are reported to be "completely drained of blood."
Sounds pretty awful, doesn't it? Fortunately, there seems to be very little evidence for such a creature. Most biologists regard the chupacabra stories as just another urban legend.
For one thing, the description of the chupacabra fits a character in the science-fiction movie, Species. That movie came out the summer that the legend started. The chupacabra may just be the result of "movie madness."
Biologists suggest that the dead animals were most likely killed by dogs or coyotes. Veterinarians autopsied 300 of the victims and found that the bodies were not drained of blood after all.
A couple of years ago, an alleged chupacabra was found dead near Cuero. DNA analysis and examination of the tissues determined the beast to be a coyote with a really bad case of mange. That should have put an end to the legend.
So you probably won't believe me when I tell you that I have seen a chupacabra. Not once, but several times. They are common in the South Texas brush country.
OK, OK. I am referring to a bird. But that bird is a "goatsucker."
The word chupacabra comes from the Spanish words, chupar (to suck) and cabra (goat). It was originally applied to birds that were believed to suckle milk from goats. Now this is a pretty weird thing for a bird to do. In fact, it is almost impossible for an animal with a beak to suckle. I think it must have been something someone dreamed up.
The beaks of goatsuckers are very small, but their mouths (or gapes) open very wide. The open mouth resembles the mouth of a frog. It is an imaginative leap, but maybe that mouth looked like it could fit over the teat of a goat.
I once saw a nighthawk, a member of the goatsucker family, cornered on the ground by a dog. The poor bird could only open its mouth and make a puffy noise. But since its mouth was so wide, it was scary. It freaked out the dog. So there is no telling what a human would make of such a sight.
This group of birds is also known as the Caprimulgids. The family includes nighthawks, whip-poor-wills, nightjars, frogmouths and potoos. Representative species of Caprimulgids are found all over the world.
In South Texas, we have a resident goatsucker. It's the Common Pauraque (pronounced puh-RAH-kee). It is about 11 inches long and patterned in various shades of brown. When it sits on the ground, which it often does, the pauraque is well camouflaged. It looks just like the leaf litter around it.
All the goatsuckers catch insects in midair. Most cruise along with their mouths opened like a sweep net. But pauraques hunt from a resting position on the ground. They sit in an opening in the brush or along a rural road and watch for low-flying night insects. When a pauraque sees an insect, it flutters up a few feet to catch it and then returns to the ground. They do this almost all night long.
To see a pauraque in South Texas, you need only to drive along a rural road after dark. Pauraque's eyes shine rosy red in car headlights. It is an eerie sight. Most observers say that the bird is on the edge of the road facing toward the center. The light-colored road shows the silhouettes of the flying insects, making it easier for the pauraque to see its prey.
Even if you have never seen one, you probably have heard one. The pauraques call all year long but more frequently in the spring. The sound is a distinctive "pur-wheeeer" that can be repeated all night long. It is a breezy, whistled call. I think it may be the source of the bird's name. Pauraque is a Hispanic pronunciation and spelling of the indigenous peoples' name for this common goatsucker.
Listen for the Common Pauraque after dark or during the pre-dawn hours. Once heard, you will begin to associate the sound with the Brush Country. If you hear it as a recording somewhere else, you will be nostalgic for South Texas. And you will want to return!

About Witness for Peace
MissionWitness for Peace (WFP) is a politically independent, nationwide grassroots organization of people committed to nonviolence and led by faith and conscience. Witness for Peace's mission is to support peace, justice and sustainable economies in the Americas by changing U.S. policies and corporate practices that contribute to poverty and oppression in Latin America and the Caribbean.HistoryWitness for Peace was founded in 1983, as the Contra War raged in Nicaragua. We established an ongoing presence there and sent U.S. citizens to accompany the Nicaraguan people in war zones and to document the "human face" of the Reagan Administration's military policy. Witness for Peace was at the forefront of bringing the brutal realities of those policies home to the U.S. public through grassroots education and large-scale media outreach. During this initial period, Witness for Peace established a successful model of merging the powerful forces of on-the-ground documentation, assertive media strategies, a dynamic delegations program and stateside grassroots mobilization. Over the years, Witness for Peace has answered urgent calls to accompany the people most affected by harmful U.S. policies and corporate practices. Currently, Witness for Peace has a permanent presence in Honduras, Mexico and Colombia. We also have a visible presence in Cuba and Nicaragua. Witness for Peace documents the human costs of unfair trade and military policy, transforms U.S. citizens who travel with us to Latin America and mobilizes a motivated grassroots network of nonviolent activists who hold policymakers accountable and work for positive change. Over the past twenty-five years, Witness for Peace has developed and maintained an energized nationwide base of 20,000 members, sent more than 10,000 people to Latin America and the Caribbean on short-term transformative delegations and sustained a highly skilled team of international staff in our program sites abroad.

Toomer has had an awsome career and i wish him the best next year. Its sad to see it end the way it did.

sometimes players should come to terms that they can't play forever then they make a fuss out of it and blame it on the team that he's no longer wanted. come on.
As much as i love Amani (and as clutch as hew as last post season) he has no burst left. There is no reason to keep him on the squad. Let him join another team, and then when he retires sign him to a 1 day contract so he can retire a Giant.
idk i see were he is coming from he wasnt out there when they lost Burress when he should have been. I want the Giants to get Anquan Boldin and keep toomer.
Amani Toomer got screwed by Kevin Gilbride...who basically proved that he can't be an offensive coordinator without PLaxico Buress.
Gilbride told Eli to throw to Toomer 5 times in the last3 or 4 games.
5 receptions in a couple games! Horrible offensive play calling. When your best WR is out why do you trust rookies over Amani Toomer????
This is another reason added to the huge list of why to fire Kevin Gilbride.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Exactly what im talking about when i say its sad to see it ened the way it did
We need to draft/trade for WR. I think Plax and Toomer think that they can get away with everything since the won the SB in NY. Well guess what, nothing is forever and no one is untouchable. I am very comfortable with him leaving. I would give Plax another shot though, ERR i meant chance
I am more worried with the fact that our best RBs are free agent. I would hate to lose Jacobs and Ward. Derrick i can live with since we also have Bradshaw but we MUST resign Jacobs. He is probably the best player we have.
What also scares me is the fact that Spags is gone. I think he was the key to our bullet proof defense. Remember we lost both Strahan and Osi in the preseason and he managed to do great without them.
yea i was thinking trade up to get a receiver like nicks or heyward-bey but they really really need linebackers. Danny Clark was pretty good and he was excellent against the run. But pierce looked lost down the stretch and Chase Blackburn was starting..WHO? So idk its tough to say whats more important. IMO they should prob draft a LB and they could either sign Houshmanzadeh who i bleieve is an unresticted FA or trade for Boldin who has said he will not return to the cards no matter what-but i think a super bowl ring could change an opinion so we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully plex returns so they dont have to worry about getting that front line guy, but they still need a reciever. Lets asume burress comes back-thats plex and steve smith as the main threats. Then Hixon who needs a lot of work, moss, and manningham how were barely used last year.
Damn player-centric usernames straight to hell.
First of all, We had two 1,000 yard rushers in the backfield. We should HAVE THROWN LESS! Not as much as we did. Especially with Eli in that stadium.... I highly doubt toomer meant what he said... It was probably taken entirely out of context. I happen to know Amani, He's a friend of the family and its not his style to say stuff like that.
th3realicon dont be worried that Spags is gone. Sheridan will run the same exact system with probably better personel, Picture this, Haynesworth and Robbins/cofield to go with Osi and tuck at the ends with Kiwi rotating in at all positions.
I have faith in Donnie Walsh
Im Sorry but Toomer meant what he said and has a reason to feel the way hes does. He was shut out by the giants and will be elsewhere next year.
Our Primary option was Plaxico and the defense of other teams would double Plax and leave those rookie...2nd 3rd option recievers open aall the time.
Without Plax we had to rely on other guys and Toomer SHOULD have been a big part.
I never said that Amani talked crap, congrats if your friends with him. I said it was crazy that Gilbride enver gave him the ball in the last couple games and didnt make him a pivitol part of our offense with Plax gone. Toomer had the most skills and experience as a WR on this team..he was the only Veteran reciever so to not pass to him is foolish...agreed??
And yes I agree that we should have passed less and given the ball to Jacobs and Ward (especially Ward) who only got 12 possessions in the last game vs the Eagles...that is unneccesary when two weeks before he single handedly won the game against the Panthers having over 200 yards rushing.
If you consider Steve Smith, Hixon, Boss all "experienced" and Veteran WR then your wrong bro. Toomer should have gotten more passes and Jacbos/Ward should have gotten 20 possessions each to run the ball.
I blamed Gilbride and if you didn't see him get completely outcoached by Jim Johnson, the defensive coordinator from the Eagles, then you haven't seen enough games my friend. Gilbride got out coached in the last game and I don't blame Toomer for leaving.
Gilbride is a C rating offensive coordiantor without Plax or a top reciever to create the defensive double team...thats my theory. And my other theory is that we lost BECAUSE of that horrible play calling.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Hey Paul1355 my fault if I sounded like a dick in my last reply... Lets put it this way, I trusted all of the recievers the giants had on the field. I really felt we had a great chance of winning going into the game with that receiving corps we had. We also knew their potential and knew what they could do, They all played in the superbowl last year so that deffinately helps when playing in other big games. But to call them rookies, or say they shouldnt be trusted in big games because they arent "experienced" is completely wrong!
I agree with most of what you said about gilbride. Not so much that toomer was a non factor, But Derrick Ward was a non factor. Ward deff should have gotten more carries and I believe that the giants not running the ball was the main reason why we were one and done. And Gilbride is without a doubt the main reason to blame for that. The Giants offense without the presence of Plax became very predictable. Couple that with horrible winds in the meadowlands and you have the two reasons why we are watching the superbowl this sunday instead of playing with it.
On to toomer.
I love Amani, Old reliable. I really would like to see him stay with the Giants or retire. I really think he'll be back next year. Just my gut feeling. He should have been used more in the game, but shoulda coulda woulda. Maybe if one of our recievers have stepped up we wouldnt even be talking about resigning toomer or wanting him back... You never know. Next year will be different. You can bet that ****. I'm still heartbroken over it. I just thank god the Knicks are playing great basketball and that the yankees are right around the corner.
Again paul sorry if I came off as a dick... Dont take it personal!
I have faith in Donnie Walsh
plaxico is responsible for us losing.nobody else.like jacobs said, "we go 15-1, and win the superbowl" that's the simple truth.amani needs to chill.he wants to leave, fine.it was cool having you.
They are recievers that should have come through...especially in week 3 when we played the Browns and Plax didnt play and we wound up scoring over 40 points....but this wasn't the Browns.
And the Eagles game was the icing on the cake that we need a top receiver to have a dominate offense.
and I want Toomer to come back...his experience and skill alone could have helped us in the last run if Gilbride just included him more.

Sleek and nimble, the Saucony Kinvara TR lets you experience the terrain on trail races and faster trail runs.
The Kinvara TR is the most minimal of Saucony's trail run lineup, which also includes the Peregrine and the Xodus. This performance-oriented shoe features low stack heights, delivering a fast and close-to-the-ground feeling, though this means the amount of impact protection supplied is limited and best suited for shorter runs and races.
The Kinvara TR's outsole offers excellent grip. Though the lug pattern is not the most aggressive available, it does deliver confidence inspiring traction on all but the most technical terrain. Our testers felt that the flexible rock plate only provided some protection from rocks and debris. If the trails you run are peppered with a bunch of sharp and rocky hazards, a more substantial option such as the Peregrine or even the Xodus might do the trick.
The shoe features a snug- fitting upper, especially towards the base of the laces and the toebox, delivering a secure, locked down sensation that's great for fast running. Our testers also noted that the low ankle collar provides an increased range of motion. Those who tend to overpronate should exercise caution due to the reduced ankle support offered in this shoe.
The Kinvara TR, with its low weight and fast feel, makes a strong case to serve as a race day shoe in the serious trail runner's collection, or even as a stripped-down daily trainer for the speedy billygoats among us.
"This is definitely a shoe best suited for runners with excellent biomechanics - the ankle mobility offered by the Kinvara TR exaggerates even slight overpronation."
"I can run an hour to an hour and a half max in the Kinvara TR before my legs feel trashed. Anything longer and I'd want a more substantial shoe with more underfoot protection."
"The low profile and snug, secure upper give this shoe a performance feel. I'm bringing these to my next trail race."

Kidd is meeting with Col. H. Charles Hodges Jr. about unannounced training flights late Thursday night that alarmed residents, woke up children and startled livestock.
The Peninsula Daily News reports the mayor is inviting Hodges to address the public at a Tuesday night city council meeting at City Hall.
No one notified local officials that four special forces helicopters would be flying around the Coast Guard station at Ediz Hook. Startled residents called emergency dispatch operators and said low-flying copters were circling the city.

Metro-North Trains Collide in Connecticut, 60 Injured
wo Metro-North commuter trains collided in Connecticut during the Friday evening rush hour after one train derailed and struck a second train, injuring 60 people, five critically, officials said.
An eastbound train derailed at about 6:10 p.m. and struck a westbound train between the Fairfield and Bridgeport stations, an MTA official told NBC News.
"We came to a sudden halt. We were jerked. There was smoke," said Alex Cohen, a Canadian passenger on the westbound train en route to New York. "People were screaming; people were really nervous. We were pretty shaken up. They had to smash a window to get us out."
There were no fatalities, according to Lt. James Perez of Fairfield Police. Both trains were evacuated.

James Manning, 21, of Barre, left, consults his attorney Tuesday, when he was arraigned on new charges in Barre. Manning is now facing six counts of felonious sexual assault on an individual younger than 16 and one count of unlawful mischief.
BARRE — The alleged ringleader of a central Vermont gang who is accused of sexually assaulting his underage followers has picked up additional charges of sex assault on a 14-year-old girl.
James A. Manning, 21, aka "Rabbit," of Barre, pleaded innocent to four counts of felony sexual assault on a victim under 16 on Tuesday in Washington County criminal court in Barre. He is already facing two counts of felony sexual assault on a victim under 16 and a misdemeanor charge of unlawful mischief.
If convicted of all the charges, Manning faces a maximum of 120½ years in prison and a $60,500 fine.
According to an affidavit filed Tuesday, the 14-year-old girl told police she and Manning had intercourse three times and oral sex "plenty" of times over a period of two months, from November to January.
The girl told police Manning would manipulate her by threatening to kill himself whenever she would try to leave him, according to the affidavit. She also said he ignored her and turned his back to her when he tried to have sex with her at the end of November and she said no.
According to the police affidavit in the original case, Manning was in charge of a group called the Brotherhood Mafia that started in Burlington and moved to Rutland and then Barre. Police say a 15-year-old member of the group told them he saw Manning sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy as a form of initiation into the group.
The witness also said Manning sexually assaulted him and hit him in the head with a baseball bat as a form of initiation, police said.
The witness also told police the Brotherhood Mafia would go around the city setting fires, slashing tires, breaking into vehicles and writing graffiti on walls under the direction of Manning and another man, according to the affidavit. Some of the fires that the police say the group set were at St. Monica School and a Third Street garage. The group also allegedly went to Eastman Auto in Barre Town in September and slashed tires and took vehicle emblems.
Police interviewed Manning at the end of January and he denied that his club was a gang, according to the affidavit, but instead called it a "group of friends that would hang out." He said the group would wear black and white and was for "troubled youth that needed people to talk to," police say.
Police say Manning denied sexually assaulting the 14-year-old boy but did admit having oral sex with him twice. He also admitted that he had oral sex with the 15-year-old witness twice, sex with a 14-year-old girl once, and oral sex with another 14-year-old boy once, but claimed all the sex acts were consensual, according to records.
Manning was already scheduled to be in court Tuesday for a bail review hearing. Manning's attorney, James Lamonda, asked the court to reduce Manning's bail and release him on home confinement under the supervision of his father and a GPS monitor. Lamonda said Manning has post-traumatic stress disorder from watching a friend kill himself around three years ago and needs mental health treatment.
Lamonda also said that because of the charges he faces, Manning is targeted by other inmates. The lawyer said he has seen Manning with a black eye and marks on his body as a result of the assaults. Manning is being held at the St. Johnsbury prison on $75,000 bail.
Deputy State's Attorney Megan Campbell said the state was against lowering the bail or releasing Manning. She said an official with the Department of Corrections told her that if Manning was granted home confinement, no one would be checking on him and if he did flee it could take up to 24 hours for authorities to be notified. Campbell also noted that Manning's father lives with a man connected to the gang activity according to the police affidavits.
When Judge Thomas Zonay read off what Manning is accused of doing before giving his decision, Manning repeatedly shook his head. Zonay denied the requests for lower bail and home confinement.
"The defendant is someone who appears to have rules that he wanted to have. It was his determination as to what would occur. He was the boss of his gang, and the court has little faith that he will appear as he is supposed to without a significant amount of bail," Zonay said.
Manning started crying as Zonay added that home confinement was also not appropriate because the court did not have faith that Manning's father's supervision would be sufficient.
As for Manning being attacked in jail, Zonay said that is something that should not happen.
"The fact that you are being charged with a crime and the fact that you are being held at this time does not mean that you are open season or anyone should be able to victimize you," Zonay said.
The judge asked the Washington County sheriff's deputies transporting Manning back to St. Johnsbury to communicate to the facility about the allegations of Manning being assaulted.

The old Guest House Motel near downtown La Crosse was set on fire Thursday.
The La Crosse Fire Department is doing live fire training in the old motel. The building was recently purchased by Dahl Ford who is letting the fire department train there before it's torn down.
The department is learning how to handle fires and search and rescue in an apartment-style building.
They say it's a rare opportunity that they couldn't pass up. "We have a lot of new hires and a lot of young lieutenants and to be able to get that kind of training in a building like this that everybody can go through is invaluable," said Lt. Tom Griffith.
This was the second of six days of training that will run through the end of the month.

Or does it conquer even death it self and move universes? What does it mean to you?breeld posted:12/26/2012 6:21:28 AM Wow-you really got me to thinking with that one. I love my family so deeply that no matter what they may do, it will never change. On the other hand, when you fall in love, you can also fall OUT of love. More times than one. So I think that kind of love is maybe just getting emotionally attached to a person, and emotions can change. Of course, I could be wrong, but I never have been before. lolWereparadox posted:12/26/2012 6:47:08 AM Why do you care so much about your family? Is it just because you've known them so long that you just become senitmentally attatched to them? Because they have some of the same genetic material as you? Legends tell of loves so strong that one person would go to hell and back to recover the other. Imagine that. Will you scour the earth to find way to be with anyone? Could you love anyone that much? Not to just except that a person is gone but fight every thing that is to be with them? That is more of a question for everyone.breeld posted:12/26/2012 11:04:13 AM Actually, two of my sons have a fatal disease-it makes me appreciate every minute I have with them. I couldn`t love them more. The other love, I have felt at one time. I was younger then. I don`t think I`ll ever have that again.Jaxerback posted:12/26/2012 12:14:50 PM I would die for my kids.Wereparadox posted:12/26/2012 1:09:26 PM I don't want to bring up bad stuff but what do your children have Bre? The other love forever given up on is why this world can destroy gods. From the very begining it is drilled into our skulls that death is almighty. It starts out celebrating your birthday with cake and gifts and parties. That's the trap. When the years go on it just becomes an ingrained count down to the "end". For some they don't mind. Its a "new begining" and a chance to start again. Me I hate it more then anything. Probably because I grew up in cemeteries watching so many people cry. Children, parents, I know you if you play the game, you live by the rules, but it doesn't make it suck any less. But you know one thing you can't make the rules but you can pick the game. The only thing I try to see through is at least to give people an option. Not some metaphyical salvation that you have to just believe in. That's in no way fair or balanced. Death is here. You can see it, touch it, smell it. In order for a balance the other option has to be here as well. A place. Opps got off topic. Sorry got ranting about the primal inbalance of this world. The point is never give up there is more under heaven and hell then what men will admit. If you truely want something let nothing stand in your way. P.s. That last part was not ment for you stalkers out there. Love is only right when its consentual. No means No.breeld posted:12/26/2012 1:54:07 PM They have Huntington`s Disease.

Thanks for the help with proper latch- I am still a bit sore but making progress.

For Immediate Release
March 6, 2014
Illinois Green School Award Recipients Announced
Two schools and a district receive state recognition for their conservation efforts
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) Thursday announced the state's three winners of the Illinois Green School Award program. The program recognizes schools that save energy, reduce costs, protect student and staff health and wellness, and offer environmental education. The three recipients are Woodland Primary School in Gages Lake, Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School in Oak Lawn, and Evanston Skokie School District 65 in Evanston.
"As we prepare our students to be successful in the global economy, it is also important to teach them how to create and maintain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy global environment," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "The work of these students and educators is an excellent example of how to weave all three components into teaching and learning for future success."
Students and staff at Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School enjoy filtered drinking water fountains, which protect users from ingesting potential contaminants. Thanks to two refillable water stations, the school has seen a reduction in the amount of plastic bottles discarded and ultimately being taken to landfills. Their paper- recycling program along with a 1:1 netbook program has significantly reduced the school's paper consumption. They are currently working on the implementation of alternate sources of energy to further reduce environmental impact.
Students in Evanston Skokie School District 65 enjoy at least 120 minutes of physical education per week, including both formal PE classes and free-play recess time. At least 50 percent of the district's PE classes are conducted outdoors whenever temperatures are above 40 degrees. Solar panels in three of the schools not only conserve energy but are also used for educational purposes. Students can go online and compare the energy generated by the solar panels at various times of the day.
Woodland Primary School in Gages Lake is an early childhood and kindergarten facility that is constantly looking for new and innovative ways to improve the health and wellness of their staff and young students. They have partnered with a local hospital to implement the Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) program to help support health and wellness in the school and in the community. Administrators and staff believe that exposing young children to environmental topics lays the foundation for future instruction and learning.
The applications for these two schools and the district have been submitted to the U.S. Department of Education's Green Ribbon School awards program.
"It's not just about being green, it's about creating a learning environment that connects student health and the environment to academic achievement," said Mark Bishop, Vice President of Policy and Communication, Healthy Schools Campaign. "These winning schools demonstrate that connection and are helping educate the next generation of Illinois's leaders."
Illinois is among 38 states and the District of Columbia participating in this year's program. Applications for the program, which is in its third year, were submitted to ISBE in mid-November. Nominations reflect the U.S. Department of Education's Green Ribbon Schools' three pillars: reduced environmental impact, improved health and wellness, and environmental literacy. The department will announce winners in April.
Each state may submit up to four nominees from public or private schools serving any configuration of K-12 grades to the U.S. Department of Education. If a state nominates more than one public school, at least one must be a school with at least 40 percent of students eligible for free and reduced-priced school meals.
Following the U.S. Department of Education's announcement of winners in April, there will be an award ceremony in Washington, D.C., in late May.

text: The thing that we don't know is what went on in the locker room. Let's say you're right, that Marbury would have accepted a bench role. Who is to say that this was ever offered to him? This was a general question from a reporter. Again, playing Marbury would have meant no minutes for Robinson. Disagreeing with this decision because you're a fan of Marbury I can understand but it's time to move on.

Rookie of the Year: It's Not a Joke!
Today MLB announced the American League and National League Rookie of the Year Award winners.
Andrew Bailey, the Oakland Athletics' 25 year-old right-handed reliever out of Wagner College, received AL honors while Chris Coghlan, a 24 year-old left fielder for the Marlins from Palm Harbor, Florida won the NL award.
The Rookie of the Year Award is very important, if you ask me. But I was watching ESPN's Pardon the Interruption show this evening and they didn't even make mention of the winners until the very end of the program.
In fact, it was almost as if they announced the winners in passing and the hosts of the show had never even heard of Bailey and Coghlan; they didn't even know which teams each winner plays for!
I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. Tony Kornheiser guessed that Coghlan was on the Padres while Michael Wilbon suggested Bailey was on the Royals.
I just find that sad; if I were one of these two young men, I would be very upset. Every young player loves watching themselves on ESPN and to think if either Bailey or Coghlan turned on Pardon the Interruption tonight….neither host even knew who they were.
Coghlan had a respectable season, making his MLB debut on May 8. He set a new franchise record for consecutive, multiple-hit games; Coghlan hit more than once in a game eight straight times this year.
At the conclusion of the season, Coghlan finished with a .321 average (which led all rookies) nine home runs and 47 RBIs.
That's impressive, wouldn't you say? I'd say that is enough to be called Rookie of the Year.
Bailey also posted stellar numbers this season, nailing down 26 saves for the Athletics this year. He went 6-3 with a 1.84 ERA coupled with 91 strikeouts in 81 1/3 innings pitched. He also was selected to the All-Star Game this year and got to participate with the game's best players in St. Louis this past summer.
Like Coghlan, Bailey was impressive. He earned it.
But I just find it unfortunate that there are people who had no idea who these kids are and almost made the whole thing into a joke; I mean Kornheiser and Wilbon guessing which teams these players are on?
Give me a break.
Jackie Robinson was the first ever Rookie of the Year in 1947, as the honor was the brainchild of the Chicago chapter of the Baseball Writer's Association. For the first two years of its existence, the award was given to one player but in 1949 one player from each league was given the title.
Along with Robinson, a number of other influential and famous players have been the given Rookie of the Year Award. I'm talking Cal Ripken, Jr., Eddie Murray, Carlton Fisk, Rod Carew, Luis Aparcio…
And even our very own Derek Jeter. (Incidentally Jeter is the last Yankee player to win the award)
Jeter was so humble when he won the award in 1996; I remember him saying something like, "I think I had some help with the voting." The Yankee Captain had won the award unanimously, hitting 10 homers and averaging .314 with 78 runs and 183 hits.
He beat out James Baldwin of the Chicago White Sox, 104 points to 64.
But what if Jeter had won the award and nobody knew who he was or even what team he was on? Or TV hosts basically joked about the fact that they had no idea where he came from?
I just found that to be in bad taste. I normally think the banter and humor on Pardon the Interruption is funny, but tonight I was not really laughing. I was actually quite upset.
But it's alright–Andrew and Chris are taking home the hardware, not ESPN. So even though they may have been slighted a little bit, they still get the last laugh.
Congrats to both Bailey and Coghlan. You guys have earned it. Tomorrow MLB will announce the Cy Young Award winners.
Will CC Sabathia be Cy Cy Sabathia? Or Will Zack Greinke take it home to Kansas City? Tune in tomorrow. Same (baseball) bat time, same channel.

Thanks for sticking up for Bailey…it's very rare for non A's fans to stick up for our players. I didn't get to see ESPN announce the winners; I only saw it on the A's website. I can't believe they didn't know what team Bailey is on! They knew he was in the running, you think someone would have done their homework, or at least written it down on a post it note, lol. So sad. Thanks again for acknowledging Bailey's hard work this season.
– Opinion
Hey, I had to say something. It's an important award, one that Bailey earned. It was a little sad that ESPN couldn't at least acknowledge it in a serious manner. Plus the A's didn't have the best year; they deserved something to be proud of and Bailey gave them something to honor.
I no longer watch ESPN except for Sunday night baseball. I've gone full time to MLBN and MLB.com. I hope other baseball fans are also supporting this.

The University of Toledo Parking Enforcement Office
The Public Safety Department (419.530.4100) is responsible for following up on all parking tickets issued at UT.
Our offices works to identify the responsible parties for the listed violations, and proceeds with collections efforts, which include billing, journalizing, and, in severe circumstances, the immobilization and towing of vehicles, and even reporting scofflaws to the Office of the Ohio Attorney General for collection.
Please click here for more information regarding ticket appeals
Please know that these are not valid excuses for appealing a ticket:
1) If you do not have a front license plate, your license plate must be facing toward the aisle when parked
2) "My friend drove my vehicle and he/she did not know where to park"
3) "I was running late and there were no spots available"
4) "My friend/parents were coming to visit me and they did not know where to park"
5) "I was unloading my car"
6) "I forgot to update my permit"
7) "I didn't know we had to buy a new permit for every semester"
8) "I didn't know we needed a permit for summer"
9) "I thought I could park wherever after 4 pm"
10) "I thought you could park anywhere on weekends, including Fridays"
11) "I'm appealing this ticket because I get three ticket voids a semester" - The first warning on each offense PER YEAR can be voided. An individual does not get all three of the same violation taken away.
For example: if all three tickets are failure to register within the same year, the first one can be voided and the other two will remain. This is per academic year... so August 2013- August 2014, for example.
Parking Tips For Health Science Campus (map)
With the relocation of the College of Pharmacy to the Health Science campus, the demand for parking at HSC has increased. UT Police has produced a map and tip sheet to help educate people unfamiliar with HSC about available parking and the tunnel system. Please park in area 46, near the Dana Conference Center and use the tunnels to get to any building on campus! Just click here for a PDF of the map and tip sheet.

Story Behind "Dumb Starbucks"
We're now open for business! Visit us at 1802 Hillhurst Ave in Los Angeles. pic.twitter.com/WnVefrYM9b
— Dumb Starbucks (@dumbstarbucks) February 7, 2014
Dude created a "Dumb Starbucks" store in LA. Tons of people visited it. The guy who created the store is Nathan Fielder (a Comedy Central comedian).
The store is literally - quite nearly - indentical to an actual Starbucks store. In a promotional video, Nathan says he can copy Starbucks in this way because it is meeting the minimum requirements under US law for parody.
A Starbucks spokeswoman says the dude can't use the Starbucks name because it is protected by copyright.
Sadly, the store was shutdown yesterday by LA health inspectors. They said the "Dumb Starbucks" store was operating with out a permit (aka: Starbucks alerted the LA health inspectors to the lack of permit).
News out today that this whole thing was just a stunt for Nathan Fielder's Comedy Central show. Bravo, good sir, bravo.
