A source close to the Nebraska Board of Regents told Orangebloods.com the regents met informally Wednesday and have agreed to move to the Big Ten and that a formal announcement Nebraska is leaving will come Friday.
And to complicate matters for Missouri, the Tigers appear to be falling down the list of priorities for the Big Ten.
An athletic director with knowledge of the Big Ten said, "Missouri is getting cold shoulder from Big Ten."
According to a story by Lee Barfknecht of the Omaha World-Herald, a respected reporter covering the Big 12 for years, Nebraska is expected to leave for the Big Ten as early as Friday, according to information provided to Barfknecht by an executive at another Big 12 school.

Skip to comments.Emotional Pat Caddell on the MSM ignoring Benghazi: These people have no honor!
Posted on 10/27/2012 10:13:05 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather
In a clearly emotional moment, Pat Caddell says he feels outrage and shame for his country after listening to Tyrone Woods family speak out over the handling of the Benghazi attacks by the Obama administration as the way the media is ignoring it. He says they have no honor and repeats his statement that the MSM has become a fundamental threat to American democracy and the enemies of the American people.
(Excerpt) Read more at therightscoop.com ...
They define "honor" as "that which will help destroy the United States."
It's true
There is one Democrat (maybe ex-Democrat now?) who has the decency to be ashamed for his country after this outrage. Obama did not have one press conference for months and they didn't raise any issue about it. There is a legal process whereas if you do not exercise your legal right, you end up losing it. If some day the media loses its special protections, I wouldn't shed a tear for them. They are not deserving of those rights.
Journalists and reporters have replaced lawyers at the bottom of the food chain. You just can't go any lower.
Just caught the show with Pat and now Christine PELOSI is closing out on Geraldo, who is in the tank for Obama.
All freedom loving Americans feel heartsick the more we learn of this atrocity and lack of courage to fight for our fellow American, no less a US Ambassador.
I think Pat is an ex-Democrat now....and also that Kristen lady on fox(darn can't think of her last name)..Powers? ..they both have been sickened by the whole ordeal.
Alan Combs makes me ill the way he just sits and lies and deflects...rather than being honest about everything. Stupid Geraldo was the same way.
I actually flipped on MSNBC last night to see what the opposition was saying. I absolutely cannot believe that anyone would watch that nasty Rachel Maddow show. That woman makes positively no sense...and is just plain nasty.
It's all crashing down on the big BO...thank the Good Lord for that.
Guillotines from orbit ... it's the only way to be sure.
We must have more "Romney Democrats" vote for Romney. Worked for us when the "Reagan Democrats" voted for Reagan.
Pat has been an honest broker for more than a few years now.
It seems to me that Carter would have (been) lost without Caddell, who, through his polling that informed Carter's strategy, helped Carter win just enough to get the Presidency. If Ford had won, either Ford or Dole would have been the '80 nominee, running against Kennedy, who would have had no reason to grant the infamous Roger Mudd interview. We would not have been blessed with Reagan as President then, it seems. So, all in all, Caddell may have helped us. And he is one of the good guys, party affiliation notwithstanding.
geraldo is persona non grata in my house. Afraid I would shoot my TV.
I heard Cadell on radio, and his anger and emotion sounded loud, clear and genuine.
Watch what will happen when Romney becomes President.
Suddenly, the MSM will declare themselves the paragon of journalism in how they cover Romney's every move.
I hope that people like Caddell and others reject the MSM after how they behaved these past four years, especially this year.
It's time for the old guard of MSM to be retired, and let a new media take over.
Shun these people forever.
I saw this. A Good idea. Shame them.
Pat Caddell is one of the last remaining DINOs, a breed on the verge of extinction.
I was disappointed that James Inhofe said the hearings on Benghazi should wait until after the election because they'll be too "political" otherwise. What hasn't been political in Washington since the Dems began attempting to undermine national security to enhance their political prospects starting around 2004?
The Dem party line is now that we have to wait until after the election to hold hearings on Benghazi. Geraldo, Pelosi's daughter and Rangell all agreed with Inhofe on that.
This liberal media is so far in the tank for this president there's no more air left in the tank.
I did not see Huckabee tonight, but someone on Twitter said that Catherine Herriage told the Gov that she had documents that proves the Obama Admin was running guns to Syria via Libya.
Pat is one of the few truly fair-and-balanced commentators out there who will hit both sides equally, like when he said Romney's campaign was the worst campaign in history.
He does this Political Insiders web show every Monday with a couple other guys, and I think they do another segment of it every Sunday around 5:30 PM ET live on FOX.
Justice with Judge Jeanine Opening Statement 10/27/12
It is akin to finding out your spouse cheated on you. He is devastated because his entire value system had been predicated since McGovern for whom he worked on the fundamental assumption that the Democrat party was a party of honor and that the press within limits operated according to an honorable professional standard. The illusion has been brutally torn away.
He puts the nation's defense in the realm of patriotism beyond party politics and these people simply do not share his values.
His world has been shattered.
LOL. I get THAT! It's the only place for Gazi coverage at this hour. His tie is St. Patrick Day green and about an inch an a half wide. Poor guy is so ruffled looking.
Caddell also said recently he could never be a Republican because he didn't want to be a member of "the stupid party." So once again he's on target.
He isn't alone. The Special Report panel on friday was out of control for a while.
Emotions are running very hot.
I watched the segment.
LOL. That's a shame. Pat Caddell could help make them a whole lot smarter!
Of course, they'd have to actually listen to him.
The only thing Geraldo cares about is how much more 0bama can do for Hispanics. He's obsessed with that. It even trumps his supposed love for our military, and therefore America.
I did not hear the remark about the Republican party, I will have to disagree with him on that. I am a loyal Republican, cast my first vote for Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Pat Caddell speaks for millions of Americans...
The main-stream media has no INTEGRITY !
They are not journalists - they are reporters to the Office of Propaganda ~~> the White House !
No wonder there is a dropping of readership and viewers !
Alleged journalists and reports.
I saw Caddell with Ann Coulter on 'Justice' Jeanine where I think the Judge let Ann speak maybe one or two words.. Jeanine rudely stepped all over Ann's comments.
I was just looking on the NYT website to see if I could find anything on Benghazi.
I looked it up under the letter B in their topics list...nothing
The last time there was a mention was Oct. 17....
Took me awhile to find that.
repWHOREters for 0bama.
Agreed. You can tell the man is honest...and what I've seen from him the last few weeks is how much he loves his country.
That's what makes me ill about Combs and some of the others...they have no honesty or integrity.
I sure hope Free Republic is up and running election night...any thoughts on how things are going to go?
Suddenly, the MSM will declare themselves the paragon of journalism in how they cover Romney's every move.<<
Yup...if Romney farts..They'll want to know what key it was in....
I'm not the most religious of our ilk, but I am so ready to feel God's hand upon our nation.
Agreed. You can tell the man is honest...and what I've seen from him the last few weeks is how much he loves his country.
That's what makes me ill about Combs and some of the others...they have no honesty or integrity.
I sure hope Free Republic is up and running election night...any thoughts on how things are going to go?
Geraldo. He thinks the Senate Foreign Relations Committee should handle this. Why don't we just let Holder decide instead? We know how far that would go. I think those people died because of politics to begin with. It just sickens me. I don't care who is elected, they better not drop this afterwards.
Yet he still is a Democrat.
So because everyone was talking about it, I flipped on geraldo...for the very first time ever, and heard the most atrocious remark from charles rangle that made me change the channel before he could even finish. What he said, and I quote, is, "I really believe Republicans are dancing on the graves of these four Americans."
Would rather watch Predator. Damn sure won't ever try to watch geraldo again. Gah!
Yep, and she stepped on Pat Caddell's comments so many times that I finally turned it off. I couldn't hear a word he was saying, for her interjecting her own comments.
In my opinion, she ruined what could have been an epic discussion of the Benghazigate affair.

Agree, Peeker. Ty Zeller is 7-0, 250 and he's under orders to add muscle and weight because he got pushed all over the paint his rookie season. Can't imagine a guy 7-0, 207 or even 227 not ending up like a pile of matchsticks by May.

City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

Rob at the Black Keys concert in LA
adayinthelifeofaDJ (
At the Black Keys show at Sayers, Rob Pattinson just rolled in with a group of male pals
— Matt Donnelly (@MattDonnelly) October 1, 2012
No KStew y'all. But I believe he's with Dominic Cooper. Will confirm, its very dark. Just chilling everyone is waiting for the set to start
— Matt Donnelly (@MattDonnelly) October 1, 2012
From LA Times (Via):
Robert Pattinson stepped out Sunday evening in Hollywood for a show by rockers the Black Keys.
Making a guys' night of it, Pattinson rolled with friends including his "Breaking Dawn — Part 2" costar Rami Malek for the exclusive show, hosted at the Sayers Club by 98.7 FM.
Ducking into a rear entrance close to 9 p.m., Pattinson, in a black baseball cap and jeans, posted up against against a back wall and enjoyed mixed drinks as the band played hits including "Tighten Up."
Rob sang along to virtually every track, breaking occasionally to greet folks such as Sayers Club creative director Jason Scoppa.
Rob seemed relaxed, positioned behind the rows and rows of fans snapping photos and taking video, not of him but of the band. An unusual experience for Pattinson, but perhaps a typical night at the exclusive venue.
From People (Via):
Sunday funday!
Robert Pattinson stepped out with friends to see The Black Keys perform at The Sayers Club in Hollywood on Sunday.
Dressed casually in a blue button-down, short-sleeved shirt and a backwards baseball cap, Pattinson arrived just before the show started at 9 p.m.
Pattinson couldn't have looked happier as he chatted with male pals including The Master actor Rami Malek, an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
"He had a smile plastered across his face during the entire show," the source adds. "He bobbed his head to almost every song. When he wasn't rocking out he sipped on beer and spent time texting."
After the show ended at 10 p.m., the Cosmopolis star stayed at the club, enjoying beers and posed for photos with 98.7 deejay Kennedy.
"Pattinson seemed amused by her and was laughing a lot throughout their conversation," the source says.

You're replacing a "starting" PF in Hickson at 7.4 ppg / 4.4 rpg with Jamison who's averaging 20 ppg /8.8 rpg. Ferry has already won that. Despite his poor first game w/ this team, Jamison is still ave 13/7. Plus he's going to give you 30+ minutes off the bench to JJ's >20 and give you experience at the tail end of games. Jamison has found his place with this team and is working well w/LBJ. Look how well the teams spacing is w/ AJ out there. I don't see the need to HOPE on being surprised.

Chicago Bears Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
The Chicago Bears are one of the most storied franchises in the National Football League with a rich history of iconic athletes. Since their establishment in 1919, the Bears have won more games than any other franchise while also producing more Hall of Fame players than any other team. With 27 players enshrined in the Hall of Fame and with 15 retired jersey numbers, the Chicago Bears are no strangers to extremely talented athletes that develop into all-time greats.
Being so successful, the Bears are responsible for producing one of the most dominant seasons in NFL history. Their run in 1985 will forever be immortalized in the NFL record books. Equipped with a Hall of Fame running back and a stifling defense, the Bears started the season 12-0 before losing to the Miami Dolphins in what turned out to be their only loss of the year. Chicago finished the regular season 15-1 and continued to steam roll the competition once in the playoffs. The Bears started their postseason run with back-to-back shutout victories over the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams, respectively. After not allowing a single point in their first two playoff games, the Bears squared off against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. The Bears' legendary 1946 defense held the high-scoring Patriots to just ten points in a 46-10 blowout victory. With the win, Chicago claimed their first Super Bowl title to add to its collection of NFL Championships. The ten points that Chicago allowed during the historic run remains an NFL record for fewest points allowed in playoff history.
The Bears are currently a team built to win and to win often. With a gun-slinger in Jay Cutler as their starting quarterback, the Bears are primed to make deep playoff runs for years to come. Chicago's offense is built around Cutler, but the weapons around him are very impressive. Perennial All-Pro running back Matt Forte is one of the best athletes in the game, and he sports an all-around game that makes him a threat anytime he steps on the field. With the additions of Brandon Marshall, Julius Peppers and Jared Allen over the years, the Bears are building the foundation to what will undoubtedly be one of the premier franchises in the league. Chicago now boasts weapons on both sides of the football, and its star power will be so much fun to watch in the coming years.
Honor your favorite Chicago legends that contributed to the franchise's outstanding history or celebrate the current roster's superstars with sports memorabilia signed by Bears players from the past and present. Show your Chicago pride in your sports room or Bears collection while celebrating championship moments and the investing in the future of the franchise with Chicago Bears memorabilia.
- Brian Urlacher Signed Helmets: An eight-time Pro Bowler, Brian Urlacher is one of the best linebackers the NFL has ever seen. He played his entire illustrious 13-year career for the Chicago Bears and fit right in with the team's legacy of all-time great linebackers. Just like Dick Butkus and Mike Singletary before him, Urlacher was an anchor on the defensive end while also making the Bears on of the most feared teams in all of football. Urlacher was named the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year after dominating the 2005 season to the tune of 122 tackles and six sacks. Brian Urlacher will undoubtedly be a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame when it's all said and done, so fans and collectors should invest in rare sports memorabilia, such as a Brian Urlacher autographed helmet for their sports room or collection. A Brian Urlacher signed helmet adds value to any Bears collection and offers a piece that concentrates on the defensive history of the franchise while showing Chicago pride.
- Jay Cutler Autographed Footballs: Jay Cutler is the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears that will lead the team into its next era of NFL domination. Armed with one of the strongest arms in the NFL, Cutler was a first round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft and has since established himself as one of the most feared quarterbacks in the league. The Pro Bowl passer has made the Chicago Bears a perennial playoff team since joining the franchise in 2009, throwing for over 23,000 and 155 touchdowns in his career. These numbers that clearly prove his elite ability at the quarterback position make Jay Cutler memorabilia the perfect centerpiece for any football collection. As one of the best passers in football, the purchase of a Jay Cutler signed football will bring value to all sports memorabilia collections as it consistently acquires worth during his career and beyond.
- Brandon Marshall Signed Mini Helmets: Brandon Marshall is the five-time Pro Bowler for the Chicago Bears and one of the most feared wide receivers in the NFL. Known as one of the toughest receivers in the game, Marshall owns the NFL record for most receptions in a game with the 21 passes that he caught against the Indianapolis Colts in 2009. Marshall has been extremely successful since entering the league in 2006 as a member of the Denver Broncos, but truly reached his best game after joining the Bears and was reuniting with quarterback, Jay Cutler. Cutler and Marshall have formed a dynamic duo that produces touchdowns left and right to take the Bears offence to the next level. With a Brandon Marshall autographed mini helmet, fans and collectors can add a fantastic item to their collection that will steadily increase in value as Marshall's career continues to flourish. Show your Bears pride with sports memorabilia that features official Chicago colors, while honoring one of the top players in franchise history with a Brandon Marshall signed mini helmet as the perfect centerpiece for your collection.
- Dick Butkus Autographed Jerseys:One of the most feared defensive players from all of football history, Dick Butkus played his entire extraordinary nine-year career with the Chicago Bears. The Bears drafted Butkus with the third overall pick in the 1965 NFL Draft after he enjoyed a very successful career at the University of Illinois, where his jersey was later retired and named him to the College Football Hall of Fame. With the Bears, Butkus continued his dominance on the defensive side of the ball as one of the game's most intimidating linebackers. Earning a trip to eight Pro Bowls and being named an All-Pro six times while being named to the NFL's All-Decade Team in the 1960s and 1970s, Butkus is one of the best to grace the sport. An autographed Dick Butkus jersey is a necessity for any die-hard Chicago Bears fan looking to add a real treasure to their sports room or serve as the perfect addition to any Bears memorabilia collection. Each Bears jersey hand-signed by the legendary linebacker features official team colors and many include rare inscriptions, like "HOF 79," to commemorate his lifetime of achievements allowing fans to take home a piece of NFL history.
- Walter Payton Signed Photos: Walter Payton is another Chicago icon that is also regarded as one of the greatest NFL players ever. The legendary running back played his entire 13-year NFL career for the Chicago Bears after the franchise selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 1975 draft. Payton was a nine-time Pro Bowl selection and a six-time All-Pro player that took the league by a storm. Many of his accomplishments on the field still stand as NFL records, which makes his career unforgettable for all football fans. A distinct member of the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team, the Bears retired his No. 34 jersey in his honor and Walter Payton was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame during his first opportunity in 1993. Since he died prematurely in 1999, Walter Payton memorabilia is extremely scarce so fans and collectors are always demanding rare items with his autographed, like signed Walter Payton photos. Preserve the legacy of an all-time great with an autographed Walter Payton photo that captures the Hall of Fame running back in mid-air as he jumps over a pile of players or breaking one of many NFL records.

Skip to comments.Crowd Laughs as Chicago Teachers Union President Talks about Killing the Rich
Posted on 01/08/2013 10:45:29 AM PST by Kaslin
The Chicago Teachers Union is not just about looking out for its members interests. The union wants to fundamentally change America, too.
That shift occurred when the radical Karen Lewis was elected as its president two years ago. Shes best known for mocking U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncans lisp and for taking on - and defeating - Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in the districts first teachers strike in a generation.
CTU leaders have been on a victory lap of sorts since the September strike, with union activists seeing themselves as protectors of union power during a time of membership decline and education reform at the state and local level.
Theyve also taken on the role of social activities, fighting for causes like the Occupy movement and gay marriage, which have nothing to do with education.
Some union leaders have called for violence and other radical tactics to achieve social goals.
When Lewis appeared at the Illinois Labor History Societys Salute to Labors Historic Heroes from the History Makers of Today, she didnt disappoint the crowd. She threw gasoline onto the fire of class warfare, and even mentioned mob killings of wealthy Americans.
Do not think for a minute that the wealthy are ever going to allow you to legislate their riches away from them. Please understand that. However, we are in a moment where the wealth disparity in this country is very reminiscent of the robber baron ages. The labor leaders of that time, though, were ready to kill. They were. They were just off with their heads. They were seriously talking about that.
Some in the audience laughed and clapped at her remark.
I dont think were at that point, Lewis laughingly replied, without specifying when that point might arrive. And thats scary to most people. But the key is they think nothing of killing us. They think nothing of putting our people in harms way. They think nothing of lethal working conditions.
She then used schools without air conditioning as an example of lethal working conditions.
The true labor leaders of the robber baron age would probably roll over in their graves and remind Ms. Lewis that she and her colleagues have it quite good.
Big salaries with an average income in the $70,000 range. Generous benefits and pensions. Limited work days and nine-month work years. What are these people complaining about?
Lewis also used the occasion to mock job creators.
Which side are you going to be on? So are we going to be on the side of justice? Are we going to be on the side of a living wage for every person? Or are we going to be on the side of people whose entire mentality is based on a lie. Job creators. Really? Then why have we lost so many jobs?
With such a cynical, un-American attitude coming from their union president, does anyone really expect Chicago teachers to introduce students to the many virtues of the free market system, or the nobility of taking a risk to become an entrepreneur and therefore a job creator?
As domestic terrorist-turned-professor Bill Ayers acknowledged, leftists have the power in our schools and classrooms, and theyre taking full advantage.
The Chicago Teachers Union is the tip of the spear in terms of social justice unionism. Its a union led by far-left radical activists who are determined to alter American society through our schools and children. Advocating for the interests of teachers is simply a means toward a larger and nastier goal.
Projection much, Mr. Union Man?
And the MSM has the gall to slime the Tea Party as radical extremists.
"Yeah! Kill 'em! Kill the rich! Off with their Heads! And then we'll kill the blacks!"
I think a lot of people would be smiling while listening to a rant like that -- right up until the kicker. Then they would suddenly be shocked that violent, hatefilled extremist had suddenly shown up out of nowhere.
As self-fulfilling prophecy, it seems to me. They've all done an excellent job of removing any last qualms or crises of conscience I might have had.
Sigh. Angry fat black woman rant.
Sow the wind, lardcore activists. Sow the wind.
Just let a normal person say something like that and he's immediately condemned.
Karen Lewis is probably raking in 500K a year for doing nothing more than acting like an azzhat. She's rich.
The dyke brigade.
Did she talk about eating them, too?
Karen Lewis isn't one of the "starving" that's for damn sure!
How about a map of these people's adressess? We want to remember these fools if/when the war goes hot.
There goes lunch. Check please.
"She then used schools without air conditioning as an example of lethal working conditions.
A far more accurate example of "lethal working conditions" is having a white teacher in most black classes in most Chicago schools.
Welcome to the Pooblik Skrewl Collective - goonion operated for the benefit of dues paying teachers rather than students.
Karen Lewis isn't one of the "starving" that's for damn sure!
:: Do not think for a minute that the wealthy are ever going to allow you to legislate their riches away from them. ::
So, who are these "wealthy" that you speak of Ms. "Teachers" Union President. Would they be the ones that employ you; that pay your wages for a days work? Whoa re thse folks? Aren't they the TAX PAYERS? Even the single mom with 4 kids with a part-time job pays taxes. IS she who you speak of?
:: They think nothing of putting our people in harms way. ::
So, just how dangerous is it in your classroom and, since it may be lethal, why do you continue to expose the children of tax payers to such danger?
Karen, you are ignorant and self-indulgent.
"get in me belly!!!"
Karen Lewis, Street Fighter
Her dreadlocked hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and her nails were painted green with silver sparkles (she changes the color often). The room was littered with souvenirs: A glass block etched with the words Bitch Brick rested on her desk, and a pair of blue boxing gloves hung on the wall, a gift from a friend after Lewis told the Chicago Tribune she was going to buy some following the announcement of the mayors education team.
A Halloween mask of Rahm Emanuels face was tacked onto a shelf in front of Lewiss desk, staring straight at her and leaving little doubt that she considers the mayor her chief opponent. Yet Lewis marveled that she and Emanuel dont like each other more. I dont understand it, she said, shaking her head. We should be best friends. We have way more in common than we dont.
Shortly before he took office in May 2011, Emanuel invited Lewis to a dance performance and dinner at Henri, the upscale French restaurant across from Millennium Park. She said they had the same tastesthey both drank malbec and ordered the lamband talked about their shared love of ballet. They are also both Jewish. Raised Lutheran, Lewis converted in the early 1990s when she was looking for something spiritual and says she was drawn by the idea that you could question God.
The evening was meant to establish a working relationship. But the conversation took a turn when, according to Lewis, Emanuel said that 25 percent of students in CPSor nearly 100,000 kids at the districts current enrollmentwere never going to make it and that he wasnt going to throw money at the problem. The comment came to light a year later when Lewis talked about it in an on-camera interview with local NBC reporter Mary Ann Ahern; Emanuel denied it, calling the story totally false. The episode likely damaged whatever trust they had established.
She really does look like Jabba, doesn't she? LOL
Almost soft-spoken in person, Lewis is a natural performer and a forceful orator, often building up a head of steam around a single point. She also has a tendency to take things too far. The unfiltered Lewis was on full display in a speech she gave to a convention of teachers last fall in Seattle, where she committed the gaffe that introduced her to the greater public. I am the only black woman in the class of 1974 from Dartmouth College, she said, only to deflate her own accomplishment in the next breath with a sarcastic woo and a glance. People are impressed, she continued. Let me tell you, I spent those years smoking lots of weed. Self-medicating. The crowd tittered.
This was just three minutes into a 32-minute ramble that veered from the bankruptcy of Milton Friedmanstyle capitalism to billionaire education reformer Penny Pritzker to the now-infamous mocking of the speech impediment of Arne Duncan, the U.S. secretary of education. This guy who has the nerve to stand up and say, Education is the thivil rights ithue of our time, Lewis said, imitating Duncan. You know he went to private school because if he had gone to public school hed have had that lisp fixed.
I'll bet she does think she's 'dead sexy'.......ugh.....just threw up a little....LOL
The real goal of the radical left...
Do not think for a minute that the wealthy are ever going to allow you to legislate their riches away from them."
What makes her think she has that right?!
She's on a mission to take from the White Man.
it is all about contol of the pensions.
unions are just politicians giving money to themselves and overporked thugs like her feeding off of the serfs. She is nothing more than a henchman keeping the minions in line.
What a commie idiot.
She said "But the key is they think nothing of killing us. They think nothing of putting our people in harms way. They think nothing of lethal working conditions.
Chicago classrooms are "lethal working conditions"? Now why would that be? Would it be because the little darlings were raised in two-parent, God-fearing homes who value Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?
Almost every Commie that has even a tangential relationship to the current administration was somehow involved with the Chicago schools. Valerie Jarrett's 84 year old mother still agitates through the CPS system. They've been cranking out Commies for years.
Well, I must say looking at those photos, and the size of some of those pantloads, it's obvious that those poor teachers must have had mountains of food forced down their throats. Probably by nasty tea partyers. Yeah...Bush and Cheney too.
She then used schools without air conditioning as an example of lethal working conditions."""
What a sissy joke.
I went to elementary school and high school in Wisconsin, in a one room school and then a rural high school.
We didn't have air conditioning or anything close to such.
I would put the graduates we had up against anyone working in the Chicago school system—or any other—with any kind of test of general knowledge anyone can devise.
The unions have become what they were formed to protect against.
They don't even work 9 months a year. I added up all the days the kids were actually in school, and it averaged 6 months.
They only work HALF of what those who are paying them have to work.
So, because teachers only work half a year, they should only be paid half their wages. That's all the taxpayers would get if they only worked half a year.
Why not keep things fair, just as they ask? Cut their pseudo-welfare checks in half.
I thought that is why kids don't go to school in the summer time. I can't think of one school in NYC with air conditioning. Maybe the offices had AC but not the classrooms.
Anyone know what her yearly salary and perqs are?
Thanks to libtard government interventionism, pressure-group warfare is becoming more and more serious. When this is combined with the Marxist doctrine of class interest,in such conditions, growing conflict and hostility develop among the various groups, culminating in violent clashes and, ultimately, in demands for political separation.
Lewis is an ignorant Marxist pig.
Conservatives are fools for letting themselves be called Reds. It'll confuse a generation in the same way we let liberals steal liberty.
We also better start reading up on the Robber Barons.
Conservatives should rail against the political entrepreneurs who use government to hobble real entrepreneurs. That's how to win this war and it is a war.
When Countrywide Financial's CEO had a $140 million salary in 2007, and cut it to $102 million in 2008 (incidentally he also had lots of stock), the market killed him. NO more Countrywide, no more stock value. Forget unions, time for the stockholders to get bold and angry.
No surprises. Observed them in their own environment at Outbound tours at my local open mike outlet in the Village, back when I lived in New York. These are far left moonbats with no interest whatever in teaching kids reading, writing, 'rithmatic, and least of all reasoning. If you have kids in public school, take them out. Home school them. Pay private school tuition. Refuse to pay your property taxes.
506 people, mostly young adults were shot and killed in Chicago last year. I think that is more than died in Afghanistan, who would know no one is talking about our soldiers.
"I am a river to my people!!" </Anthony Quinn, brigand and raider>
<Gunfire, wild cheering and ululation>
</Lawrence of Arabia>
Just like Barky and every other race-ripoff artist.
They sure are succeeding at the class envy thing.
Yikes! Sure hope nobody got between her and the buffet table. Talk about your casualties.
Bet the Chicago FD calls her whenever someone gets trapped under a side of beef. "We need the Jaws of Life, STAT!"
Karen looks like she's on the "Michael Phelps" diet plan. Swim, baby, swim!
Bully unions must die and starved out of existence.
Yes, her whining about a lack of air conditioning is a joke. I went from 1st grade through high school graduation without benefit of an air conditioned classroom.
In Texas.
Here in Texas we'd say " I bet there's places on that body that ain't never been washed"....

What to Do When a Purchase Goes Wrong
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Spending money is easy, especially these days. Just give a credit or debit card number, set up an automatic bill payment or, if you must be old fashioned, write a check. But what if you have second thoughts?
If you aren't happy with the product or service you bought, how do you stop payment?
The procedure, as well as your rights, varies depending on the type of account you used for the payment, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. says in its winter newsletter . In fact, you may consider this when deciding how to pay, as your stop-payment options are better with a credit card payment than with one made with a debit card or check.
Generally, the first step is to seek satisfaction from the merchant with a refund, return or repair, the FDIC says. If that doesn't work, you can escalate.
To withhold or reverse a credit card payment, contact the card company.
"The Fair Credit Billing Act includes legal protections for problems with the quality of goods or services purchased with a credit card," the FDIC says. Under that law, if the purchase totals $50 or more, the merchant is in your home state or within 100 miles of your home, and you made a good-faith effort to correct the problem with the merchant, you may withhold payment for defective goods or services while your credit card company investigates the matter," the FDIC says.
"You may also withhold payment for defective goods or services under other circumstances, such as if the merchant is also your card issuer, regardless of the cost or geographic location."
If you have already paid the card bill, try to resolve the dispute with the merchant, and if that doesn't work, file a complaint with the card company. The card issuer may refund your money if it agrees with your complaint.
Remember, though, that you are still obligated to pay all other charges on your card bill. Check with the card company for other features it may offer, including extended warranties.
Federal law does not provide the same remedies for purchases made with debit cards , the FDIC says. If you discover the problem quickly enough, contact the bank to ask if the withdrawal can be stopped. But the odds are the withdrawal will be made too fast.
So in most cases the only real option is to negotiate with the merchant. Though there is no federal provision for reversing debt card charges, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act does provide safeguards against unauthorized transactions and billing errors.
Your options with a purchase by check are better, because it takes a few days for the payment to be passed to the merchant. During that window, you can tell the bank to stop payment; afterward, you'll have to deal with the merchant. Stopping payment may incur a charge, typically $20 to $35.

When you adopt a "bully breed" such as a pit bull terrier, American Staffordshire terrier, bulldog, Boston terrier or other similar canine, you may already know that your precious puppy might have a negative reputation that precedes him. As an owner of a so-called bully breed, you may find yourself frequently defending your dog against negative stereotypes such as dog aggression and other bad behaviors.
It's important you train your canine companion to become what is known as a breed ambassador. This means that, with plenty of training, your dog can prove to the world what you already know - that he (and perhaps the rest of his breed) is a sociable, well-behaved canine who makes a perfect companion.
Here are some tricks for training your bully breed to show off his best behavior all the time.
Know what pleases your puppy
When training, you will need to have some type of motivation for your dog. For many canines, this means food or treats, but others may respond better to toys or praise. Once you figure out which reward appeals most to your pet, you'll have a much easier time training him.
Basic training
Basic puppy training commands like "sit," "stay" and "come" are crucial for your bully breed to learn. Fortunately, these breeds are quite intelligent and will be able to master these commands quickly with plenty of positive reinforcement. Other commands you may need to work on with a bully breed are "no," for a variety of behaviors like dog barking or chewing, and "off," since their eagerness to meet new people may cause them to jump. Teaching your bully breed not to jump is important because it can frighten people who have heard about the negative reputation of these dogs, and because once your dog is fully grown, his strength might be enough to knock someone over.
Focus on socialization
Socializing a puppy is as important as getting him his dog vaccinations and pet food. Why? Without proper socialization, your dog can become fearful of situations he has not experienced before and act unpredictably.
Animal Planet reports it's crucial you develop a strong bond with your bully breed before socializing him with other people. Once he fully trusts you, he will respond better when you introduce him to the many faces of the world - make sure you include men and women of all different ages and races, as well as men with facial hair, people bundled up in coats and scarves, and people with other features that make them look unique.
Bully breeds tend to prefer the company of people, and not all will get along with other dogs. Knowing this, use caution when introducing an adult bully breed to other dogs. When you are raising puppies, it is sometimes easier to socialize them with other dogs and animals. The sooner you begin introducing a pittie pup or other bully breed to other dogs, the more likely he is to accept them and get along with them when he is older.

Strategy: Anatomy of a SQL Injection Attack
Safeguarding data is one of the most important tasks of any IT organization. But 15 years after its coming-out party, SQL injection remains a threat to databases of all sizes. Attackers have the tools and motivation to go after vulnerable Web applications and use them as a gateway into a company's database. Once inside, the level of havoc that can be wreaked ranges from stolen data to data corruption.
In any case, failure to protect against SQL injection attacks is a serious security lapse. Indeed, database designers and application developers are far from helpless — by properly sanitizing user input and taking steps such as limiting the information in error messages, IT can do its part to protect the organization from the type of data theft sure to make headlines. In this Dark Reading report, we examine how a SQL injection attack is levied and provide tips on how you can mitigate the risk of such attacks. (S7390913)

Skip to comments.Harry Reid shoots down Feinstein gun-ban bill
Posted on 03/19/2013 8:44:42 AM PDT by jazusamo
Sen. Dianne Feinstein emerged from a closed-door meeting with Majority Leader Harry Reid on Monday but her ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines didnt.
Mr. Reid turned down her attempt to bring her ban on 157 different weapons and ammunition clips aboard the Democratic Partys comprehensive gun bill, Politico reported.
My understanding is it will not be [part of the base bill], said Mrs. Feinstein, California Democrat. I would like to [see it moved], but the leader has decided not to do it. You will have to ask him [why].
Her bill instead will have to go forth separately or as an amendment and that means its probably not going anywhere.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
Where is the other hand? What is it doing?
Wow that's too bad.
I was hoping to get EVERY senator on record with a vote on this.
Harry: do it for "the children"
They're not serious. This is all grandstanding for the base. Oddly, I don't think the base wants gun control either as I know two Democrats who have recently run out and bought their first guns.
I do not trust Tom Coburn to not give them cover to get at least something they want.
Never TRUST them...they are up to something
Registered Democrat scumbags/gutterwhores are deeply saddened.
Looks like all those years of experience in the Senate didn't do her much good, I wonder if Sen. Cruz is chuckling. LOL!
The last time DiFi passed a gun control bill, it led to a Republican takeover of the House and Senate.
Jus' askin'.
No he's not but there's others.
Exactly - with this piece of theatre out of the way they can concentrate on "common sense" legislation like universal background checks, aka registration and, hence, confiscation.
First they propose the huge bill, then decline it in favor of the smaller bill to show they are reasonable.
Thus everyone feels like they have had a small victory.
And the Marxist slowly take away your rights.
And Harry remembers that. Right now Harry has his eye on taking the House and keeping the Senate in the mid-terms. He knows a gun bill now is political poison. When/if the Dems control both houses, THEN Harry and DiFi will quickly ban guns. Count on it.
Not now, DiFi, wait until 2015...
It has served its purpose as cover for the bill they're actually going to pass.
Here is hoping the House can stop it, because the 'Pubbie pukes in the Senate won't.
The one hand got its base all riled up and loving them because they were finally so tough on guns.
The other hand wants to preserve their majority in the senate.
They'll move the goal posts until enough people are fooled by their rhetoric, and then they'll become actual gun grabbers rather than gun grabber wannabes.
If a bill is pushed Boehner and the House had darn well better stop it.
Strategy II is now in play.
Tax the living bejeezus out of everything gun related to the point the tax becomes so punitive and the consequences of failing to pay the taxes so high, people will turn in guns.
This of course will not end well. Either way they will get what they want.
Gabby's hubby for one. said he'd turn it in to cops, though. ask the dems you know if they're going to follow his example.
Incrementalism via the dialectic. That's all this is.
'Her bill instead will have to go forth separately or as an amendment and that means its probably not going anywhere.'
The answer is...it will go in as an amendment to a completely unrelated bill in the middle of the night in a committee session.
Let's hope this ban stop takes some pressure off of the ammo hoarding, so I can go get some more bricks of .22LR.
"Not now, DiFi, wait until 2015..."
The old hag is 80! I am just hoping she get's to meet her maker before "her bill" gets a second chance.
"If a bill is pushed Boehner and the House had darn well better stop it."
Therein lies the problem!
"Lets hope this ban stop takes some pressure off of the ammo hoarding, so I can go get some more bricks of .22LR"
No kidding! I jut bought a Sig .22 for plinking and can't find a single round for it!
And my spouse bought a sub-compact 9mm, same story.
She's a real testimony to what California has become
Ran +3 points ahead of Caliph Baraq in 2012 election.
Problem is, Harry can't stop their defeat next year. Gun owners have long memories, and they no the gun grab started in DC by the Dems, and has cost many their rights on the state level.
They will be held to account as though Feinstein's bill had passed in its entirety.
Nice try Harry!
Harry told her that first we have to register them. Then when we ban them we know where to go. When you get Universal Background Checks you have paperwork on where all guns are.
Political posturing best described by two hyenas fighting over a piece of animal carcass.
Say what you want about Reid. But, he has an A+ rating from the NRA, and that is one of the main reasons he is still in the Senate.
I hope you're right but I tend to be very cynical when it comes to predicting what voters will do.
Watch and learn grasshopper. The bill will be to for all firearm sales requiring background checks. Swine's amendment will fail and the Senate will pass a bill that supposedly closes the "gun show loophole".
Then it will be illegal to sell a firearm without a background check anywhere, any time, and now the local FFL dealer will have a record of the sale.
Then in 5 years when her stupid bill comes up again and it passes they already have the paperwork to know who and where the firearms are, so they can make a midnight visit to confiscate them.
See Current California actions for example of National Confiscation plan.
You are correct maybe Schumers bill about safe gun storage that criminalizes teaching someone to shoot at a informal shooting range ,or loan a buddy a rifle during deer season as unlawful transfer of firearms.
if it's not her, it'll be some other democrat rat traitor.
Don't fret. She and her anti AW bill will still be buzzing around like flies on s****!
Nah, they know folks do not want this, what Dems want is total control in 2014, then they will ban your guns.
Never ever trust them. With dems, you are only safe until the next election, or until the next Sandy Hook.
It's limiting your ammunition...
I'm hearing that the bill won't get passed in the House. Maybe that will change now that the gun ban isn't included? I sure hope not.
Amazing how
Tom Coburn for President. Woo! Woo!
One of these seems to turn a Conservative into a moonbat liberal.
Tom has recently disappointed me severely.
Sounds like a problem at the big house, and certainly won't change truth on the ground.
Sad to see the rule of law go by the wayside, but there it is.
I know at least one Dem who hasn't purchase one yet, but admitted to researching the best guns for defense. When pressed, many they liked had a capacity greater than 10 rounds.
No seriously. They're still going after magazine capacity. Read the rest of the article. They figure they can get enough democrats to vote for that.
Suppose I ignore it.
They most certainly will, if everyone on our side adopts that attitude.

JCoz wrote:This was a quote from Knights article today:The odds of pitching prospects tell us that White and Pomeranz won't both turn out to be top-notch pitchers. It's possible neither will. But more than likely, one will emerge as a bona fide ace, and will probably still be a bona fide ace long after Jimenez has left the Indians to be somebody's inning-eating No. 3 starter.
So not only is it MORE THAN likely that we traded away a bonafide ace, but one that will far outlast the one we just got in Jiminez.
The article tries to paint a levelheaded view at prospects, but this paragraph badly betrays him as believing whole heartedly in going down the very same line of thinking that helped management pass on Pedro years ago.
I don't know whether or not Jiminez has legit issues that will doom his career, but it just seems insane to state that any prospect is more than likely to become the most coveted of assets in MLB- the FOR bonafide Ace. And to top it off with predicting longevity as the cherry on that Sunday..again we are talking about a pitcher here....well that's bordering on elite level optimism......or I guess pessimism, in this case.
I agree JCoz. Jonathan's stuff is always so much to read and this is no different but I disagree with the bottom line.
Jimenez is a front of the rotation guy. We don't know what White amd Pomz ultimately are. And to hint that the Tribe got damaged goods or that UJ's shitty outing last Saturday speaks to some sort of Fausto-like schizophrenia to me isn't fair. Dude was affected by the rumors, the uncertainty, etc. and any of us would have been out there physically with our head somewhere else.
Jimenez also had a hip flexor and groin tweak in the early part of the year that affected him. That's going to affect his velocity/success, maybe still is. But it's not damaged goods IMO.
By all accounts UJ is bright and works hard. I think he'll be fine here at the top of the rotation once he settles in. Masterson and Jimenez for at least the next two seasons? I like it.

It's when I hear people say stuff like "wins for a pitcher is overrated"..... that makes my head explode.
Cliff Lee's stats:
2012: 211 innings, 3.25 ERA, 207:28 K:BB ratio, 6 wins 3.60 Runs/game (run support)
2013: 207.2 innings, 2.95 ERA, 201:32 K:BB ratio, 14 wins 3.41 Runs/game (run support)
Two almost identical seasons with Cliff Lee actually receiving less run support in a season where he has 8 more wins. Wins as a stat are completely fluky and offer zero predictive value. Don't even get me started on a closer blowing a save in the 9th only for his team to come back and score in the 10th to get him the win.
Aside from saves, Pitcher wins are the most meaningless stat in sports. They weren't 50 years ago when pitchers were going for CG's every game, but the game is different today.
