The New Zealand Warriors have confirmed the club has no had contact with any agencies in regards to the Australian Crime Commission investigation into performance-enhancing drugs in professional sport.
The Newcastle Knights, Penrith Panthers, Canberra Raiders, North Queensland Cowboys, Manly Sea Eagles and Cronulla Sharks have all had contact with the NRL confirming they were part of the ACC investigation.
Warriors chief executive Wayne Scurruh said the club had not heard from the ACC, ASADA or the NRL.
"We have had no contact and prefer to leave any statements to the NRL," he said.
The Sharks issued a statement on Tuesday morning stating they will continue to provide full support to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority and the NRL in their ongoing investigations.
Cronulla say they won't be making any further comment at this stage: "but will endeavour to keep sponsors, members and fans informed of any developments where possible.''
Sea Eagles general manager David Perry said the club would continue to cooperate fully with the ACC, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) and the NRL.
"The NRL has informed the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles that the club was the subject of intelligence gathering by the Australian Crime Commission,'' Perry said in a statement.
"The Sea Eagles condemn unreservedly any use of illegal performance-enhancing substances by players.
"We are unaware of any use of illegal performance-enhancing substances by any member of the Sea Eagles squad.
"We are complying fully with all requests from the NRL, ASADA and the ACC, with Deloittes already visiting the club last week to gather information pertaining to our sports science program.
"The club will not make any further comment until it has consulted with both the ACC and ASADA.''
The Knights were contacted by the NRL about the matter on Monday but say they have no further information or details on how they are involved.
"Our club will cooperate with any official enquiry,'' said chief executive Matt Gidley.
"We maintain full confidence under the management of (coach) Wayne Bennett.
"Until we receive further information from the NRL and/or ASADA, there is nothing further we can add.''
The NRL put the heat back on its sides after the ACC granted the league permission to notify the clubs referred to in the ACC's Project Aperio report - with the Cowboys outing themselves late on Monday night, while Penrith reportedly confirmed they were one of the clubs in the spotlight.
"We have been mentioned in the report but we have no information on the context,'' Cowboys chief executive Peter Jourdain said in a statement.
"Like all NRL clubs mentioned in this report, we will co-operate fully with the NRL and ASADA.
"Until we receive a briefing on Tuesday afternoon, we will not be making any further public comment.
"We strongly support this investigation.''
Clubs were told they were in the report but were not given specific information as to the nature of the investigations, with the ACC report making links between the widespread use of banned substances, organised crime and match-fixing.
AAP contacted all 16 clubs for comment on Monday night, with Canterbury, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Brisbane, Parramatta, Wests Tigers and South Sydney all claiming they had not been contacted by the NRL.
The NRL said it was not legally permitted to name the clubs, or specify just how many clubs were involved.
"The information that has been passed on to the clubs is simply that they have been referred to within the report,'' NRL chief executive Dave Smith said.
"The NRL is working with the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) who will establish a more detailed briefing with the clubs regarding its investigation.
"The NRL does not have authority to name the clubs or confirm the number referred to in the report.
"Regardless of the outcome of any investigation, we are already committed to establishing the strongest integrity and compliance unit of any code and we are determined to see rugby league stronger for having addressed these issues.''
Penrith boss Phil Gould says he hasn't been provided with any details on how the NRL club is implicated in the investigation.
Gould said he would seek more information as a matter of priority, so the Panthers can clear the air over how they are involved.
The outspoken rugby league commentator and administrator has been critical of the ACC for being vague in their handling of the matter since handing down the report last Thursday.
"Last night ARL Commissioner David Smith called to inform me that the Panthers club has been `implicated or referred to' in the Australian Crime Commission Report,'' Gould said in a statement.
"At this stage, that is all the information David was permitted to relay to us. No other details are available at this time.
"As we have stated previously, Panthers welcomes the opportunity to assist in any enquiry or investigation and we look forward to a speedy resolution to this matter, both for our club and the code of rugby league.
"We will do our best to keep our sponsors, members and fans informed as more details come to hand.''
Earlier Monday, Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy backed calls for clubs and fans to be given some clarity.
"I think a lot of people have said in our game and in other codes that we'd like them to name names, team or individuals,'' Bellamy said during a press conference to announce his re-signing with the Storm.
The Nine Network on Monday claimed Curtis Johnston, a lower grader with NRL club South Sydney, had been stood down as part of an investigation into allegations he used performance-enhancing drugs.
Johnston, who plays for the South Sydney's NSW Cup feeder club North Sydney and has yet to play in the NRL, is reportedly at the centre of an investigation following a series of damning text messages.
It is not yet clear if the drama surrounding Johnston is linked to the ACC's report.
The Nine Network claimed it had secured possession of a series of text messages from Johnston boasting about his use of banned substances.
It is believed Johnston claimed the text messages were a joke.
While refusing to name the player or club involved, NSWRL boss Geoff Carr said a player had been stood down following an allegation of illicit drug use.
"There's been an allegation and the club has been cautious and stood the player down,'' Carr said.
"There has been no positive test.''
The establishment of a helpline to provide information in relation to anti-doping doesn't seem to have gone down too well with players, with Tigers superstar saying he would not be inclined to dob in a peer.
"First of all that's not in my nature and secondly I don't know anyone that does it (take banned substances,'' Marshall said.
"If I did, I definitely wouldn't be involved in any sort of way to put them (in trouble) at all.''

Up the rocky slopes and across the small stream, we arrive at the barn. Then head downhill to the two farm homes on the property
Oh no! The Roaring Fork road is closed for construction until October 2! New Plan! Next stop, the main park entrance and Sugarlands Visitor Center where a park ranger confirms that Laurel Falls is running strong thanks to the recent rains and that the paved path to the falls is a good choice today since the other falls paths are a bit muddy. He encourages us to continue up the unpaved path past the falls to view some old growth trees.
As we drive up Little River Road towards Laurel Falls, we are reminded once again about the connection between mist, smoke and mountains ending in a short 1.6 mile hike to Falls. Like the hat?
Moving pasts the falls the crowds disappear, the trail is no longer paved, becoming rocky and rough. The trail ascends gradually in a couple of switchbacks through rhododendron and laurel and then enters a forest of giant tulip poplar and hemlock. Casey likes the old growth forest trees and apologies on behalf of the entire human race. We are reminded that this place gets an average of 55 inches of rain a year. Today – liquid sunshine abounds.
Back to the cabin for a lovely sunset.

The place wasn't like in the pictures at all. We didn't enjoey being there, although we had basic things: water, blankets, heating we didn't like how the place look like. The kitchen was dirty and we found find the washig machine, there was a closet in the kitchen full of garbage. In the room things were clean but was cold and there was a bed under other we can't use. The door in the room was damaged, the sofa bed was too old and wasn't Confortable. The blackout was damaged too and we never met the host. The day we arrived a guy received us and show us the things but during the whole week nobody was there or contact us to check how the things were. The neiborhood wasn't to bad but it was far from everything. The Tv didn't work well.
Hi !!! I stayed there for 3 weeks with my little 1,5 year old son in May 2014...and what should is say? It was PERFECT. The location was great, a huge playground, 24h washcenter, a great deli, all just around the corner ! the house is located in the heart of flatbush...just a little walk of ten minutes to the subway with ELEVATOR. i loved it there because it was so nice an calm and cool...not the manhattan stress :-) buuut it tooks a longer time if u want to go to manhattan..but the subway line brings you straight there...also to fulton street, where you can shop sneeeakers :-)
when i flew back...i shed tears in the cab...i was incredibly sad leaving flatbush.
Steve and Heather were so nice and helpful!! WORDS CANT DESCRIBE! Sorry for giving my feedback this late, really want to say THANK YOU for your SUPPORT ( thx thx thx a million times :-)... Hope i soon have enough money to come back!
We were in the ground floor of the apartment: the greatest. Sure photos are dated and printing is not the same when you arrive, everything would need a good cooling and storage and more. Steve was very present, extremely kind and did everything just to make things easier and make our stay more enjoyable. The terrace is nice and Steve also has full project to landscape the garden. The area is residential, small houses more or less maintained but still quiet. A Happy half hour from Manhattan. Good place to take a first look at NYC without breaking the bank
Nous étions dans l'appartement du rdc : le plus grand. C'est sûr les photos datent un peu et l'impression n'est pas la même quand on arrive, tout aurait besoin d'un bon rafraîchissement et de rangement en plus. Steve était tres présent, d'une gentillesse extrême et a tout fait tout pour nous faciliter les choses et nous rendre le séjour plus agréable. La terrasse est bien agréable et Steve a aussi plein de projet pour aménager le jardin. Le quartier est résidentiel, des petites maisons plus ou moins entretenues mais tranquille. A une Bonne demi heure de Manhattan. Bonne adresse pour prendre un premier aperçu de NYC sans se ruiner
Have been for the second time in NYC and is staying for the second time in a rundown building. Possibly all (cheaper) rooms are so run down. It makes a sad to see how the owners can rot the building in NYC.
Compared to the outer appearance of the apartment was relatively clean. The technical equipment (TV, fridge, even Wii Playstation) was compared to the princely state of the building. However, it was not easy to bring the TV and WIFI and running. WIFI did not work upon arrival, at night it suddenly works by itself. The next night the same thing.
If someone has taken a shower in the upper apartment, the water has dripped through the ceiling on the TV.
On the last evening and departure there was no hot water for showers. Only in the kitchen.
Localization is quite inconvenient. Path to Subway 300m. However, the bus stop is right outside the door. Evening and especially at night not all trains to the terminus.
But the most unpleasant was the Wimdu system. This accommodation works with digital locks. There's no one on site. Only one week after the departure I found the code for the digital locks in Wimdu account where I do not normally nachschaue. This message was sent also only about 1 week before arrival (where I still do not know exactly). One week before arrival in NYC but we were a long time in the US and had very limited access to the Internet. In the evening at 20 Accordingly we stood: 00h in front of a closed building and feared already, having to look into the need for another hotel. Fortunately, we were able to reach the owner by phone.
Assessment: Book Only when nothing else is real in the lower price range. For such an accommodation the price still seems too high. But that's NYC.
Zum zweiten Mal in NYC gewesen und zum zweiten Mal in einem heruntergekommenen Gebäude logiert. Evtl sind alle (günstigeren) Unterkünfte so heruntergekommen. Es macht einen traurig zu sehen, wie die Eigentümer in NYC die Gebäude verrotten lassen.
Verglichen mit dem äusseren Erscheinungsbild war das Appartement noch relativ sauber. Die techn Ausstattung (TV, Kühlschrank, sogar Wii-Playstation) war im Vergleich zum Zustand des Gebäude fürstlich. Allerdings war es nicht ganz einfach den TV und WIFI zum Laufen zu bringen. WIFI hatte bei der Ankunft nicht funktioniert, in der Nacht hat es dann plötzlich von allein funktioniert. Am nächsten Abend dasselbe.
Wenn jemand im oberen Appartement geduscht hat, ist das Wasser durch die Decke auf den TV getröpfelt.
Am letzten Abend und Abreisetag gab es kein warmes Wasser zum Duschen. Nur in der Küche.
Die Lage der Unterkunft ist ziemlich ungünstig. Laufweg zur Subway etwa 300m. Allerdings ist die Bushalte direkt vor der Tür. Abends und vor allem nachts fahren nicht mehr alle Züge zur Endstation.
Das Unangenehmste war aber das Wimdu-System. Diese Unterkunft funktioniert mit digitalen Schlössern. Es ist NIEMAND vor Ort. Erst eine Woche NACH der Abreise habe ich den Code für die digitalen Schlösser im Wimdu-Account gefunden, wo ich normalerweise nicht nachschaue. Diese Nachricht wurde auch erst ca. 1 Woche vor Ankunft versendet (wohin weiss ich immer noch nicht genau). Eine Woche vor Ankunft in NYC waren wir aber schon lange in den USA und hatten nur sehr beschränkten Zugang zum Internet. Dementsprechend standen wir abends um 20:00h vor einem verschlossenen Gebäude und befürchteten bereits, in der Not ein anderes Hotel suchen zu müssen. Glücklicherweise konnten wir die Eigentümer telefonisch erreichen.
Beurteilung: Nur buchen, wenn man echt nichts anderes in der unteren Preisklasse findet. Für so eine Unterkunft scheint der Preis dennoch viel zu hoch. Aber das ist wohl NYC.
Steve and Heather's place is a great alternative to the very expensive accommodation on Manhattan Island. Steve, who we met on the night we checked in, was a helpful and gracious host, but the fully automated door codes mean that you can come and go as you please and also feel self-sufficient. The place is very clean and well appointed with fridge, shower/toilet and several options providing beds for between 2 and 5 people. The neighbourhood felt reasonably safe to walk through, even at night, and I liked being in an actual neighbourhood, dwelling in an apartment, just as I might do if I actually lived in Brooklyn. There is free wifi, an amenity which becomes more and more important to me these days as I travel, and an outsized television which we barely tapped the potential of in just watching for the weather. The location seems a bit far from the metro when you first walk it, and being the last stop Brooklyn direction from downtown Manhattan, you have to be prepared for a commute each morning if the sights you want to see are on Manhattan island, but given the pluses of price and of staying in an actual neighbourhood, the commute and the walk are negligible factors. The area around the metro station on Flatbush has a McDonalds which we used for morning coffee (don't expect to be served in a hurry though), and an unpretentious Italian pizzeria (Uncle Vic's) which we found served excellent pizza, pasta and portable calzones. The majority of restaurants in the area seem to be West Indian, but if not a fan of jerk chicken and salt cod, there are also some Chinese places. The multitude of fruit stands were also handy for buying oranges and juice that we could have in for the morning. If visiting New York again, especially for a longer stay, like a week, I would definitely try to stay in this Brooklyn apartment.
Een perfecte locatie. Lekker rustig achter met een veranda om te ontbijten en dan naar de metro te lopen. Ongeveer 45 minuten van het centrum. Vriendelijke en aardige eigenaren. Je kan echt je eigen gang gaan. Brooklyn is heerlijk.
Perfect location. Easy going and with a neat backyard where you can eat outside (in the summer ;-). Near subway. Only 40 minutes of the heart of Manhattan. Relaxed surroundings. We liked the contrast with the hustle and bustle of a big city and this place. For us perfect
our stay in this apartment was a réussite.Confortable, well equipped kitchen, lovely terrace to eat (an additional table would be welcome as there are three appartemants therefore the world sit.) 45 minutes by subway from central park, the report quality / price is excellent. Brooklyn very nice neighborhood (many carraibéen so french speaking ...) and all conveniences and shops nearby. possiblility of doing laundry on request, also including the air conditioning on request (surcharge).
notre séjour dans cet appartement a été une réussite.Confortable, cuisine bien équipée, terrasse très agréable pour manger (une table supplémentaire serait bienvenue car il y a 3 appartemants donc du monde a assoir).A 45 minutes en métro de central park, le rapport qualité/prix est excellent . Quartier de brooklyn très sympa ( beaucoup de carraibéen , donc parlant français ...) et toutes comodités et commerces à proximité. possiblilité de faire les lessives sur demandes , y compris aussi sur demande la clim (payante) .
The booking was really easy, and the reply from Steve the landlord was quick.
The Check-in is fully automated, and so easy and safe. The house is fully equipped, and with a great terrace.
The subway is nearby, with lines direct to Union Square, Times Square/Broadway and Central Park, and their are shopping opportunites nearby to.
We had a great stay at the house, and we were allow to borrow an extra appartment. Steve was so helpful

Visioning update: Urban, rural taxing districts studied
The Pequot Lakes City Council continues to study the differential in the city's urban and rural taxing districts, which was identified earlier this year in a visioning session where the council pinpointed key issues and projects.
The Economic Development Committee (EDC) received council approval Tuesday, April 2, to spend $1,500 to hire Springsted to complete an analysis and study of the two taxing districts with the concept of combining them. The EDC first wants to determine the impact of combining the tax districts on properties.
"You've got a difficult situation here, especially when talking about property taxes. It's a very emotional issue," Mark Jurchen, EDC chair, told the council.
"Everyone at the table has a conflict of interest," he said of city council and EDC members, since they live or work in one of the two taxing districts.
The two districts were created when the city and Sibley Township merged in 2002. The urban tax rate is double that of the rural tax rate. It's unknown why the rural tax rate didn't eventually become equal to the urban rate.
Jurchen said the rural taxing district has 63 percent of city's valuation and pays 40 percent of taxes.
Commercial properties in the former township and the city no longer have such a tax differential.
Other visioning goals
Sibley Lake Park: The Park Commission will walk through the park at 1 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, to generate ideas for park improvements. The commission and city staff will work toward developing rules and guidelines for the park as well.
The Park Commission has received a few surveys from residents with suggestions to make the park more user friendly. A survey is online on the city's website at www.pequotlakes-mn.gov.
Mayo Lake Park Preserve: The Park Commission and city staff will work toward developing rules and guidelines for this new park.
Branding/marketing: Mayor Nancy Adams is working with the chamber to research the idea of placing banners throughout the city. Funding for banners is needed.
County Road 11 gateway: The Planning Commission started discussion on County Road 11 as a gateway into Pequot Lakes when Highway 371 expands to four lanes east of downtown.
Discussion points have included use of roundabouts, a bike and snowmobile trail from Breezy Point into Pequot Lakes, parking, sidewalks and crosswalks, lighting and landscaping, according to Planning Commission meeting minutes.
Capital improvements plan: Staff is working with all departments to begin listing capital improvements through the budgeting process.
Sewer ponds/sanitation: The Public Works Department and city engineer are discussing options with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.

Town Square
Andy Cohen's Feigned Ethics
Original post made by Barf Bag Warning, Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park, on Mar 9, 2007
Who are the people in Mr. Cohen's cabinet? How often do they meet? Are the written instructions given to Mr. Cohen made available to the rest of the council and the public? Bet not. I don't think Cohen blinks without permission from his group of advisors, a group that is motivated by fear and negative thinking.
Beware of tortuous process nonsense. We saw enough of that with Nick Jellins.
Insofar as the length of the council meetings: Mr. Cohen often appears as though he's already asleep during the meeting. No reason to adjourn the meeting so he can go home and get some shut-eye. He's already checked out.

Dear BarfBagWarning, This kind of personal attack is out of line. As I have found in talking with him myself, Andy Cohen is a caring, sincere, and principled person who makes the effort to listen to anyone who wishes to share their concerns and ideas with him. Then he makes up his own mind.
You might try it some time.
a resident of Menlo Park: Park Forest
on Mar 10, 2007 at 10:12 am
Barf Bag Warning who ever you are. Your viscous personal attack on Judge Cohen is completely out of line. You claim to be a resident of the Allied Arts neighborhood; here is a councilman who supported the neighbors in the dispute with the Allied Arts Guild.
As for use of notes, this indicates to me he has come prepared on issues before the council. I know Judge Cohen and you obviously do not. He will take the time to listen to your views, but if anyone thinks he is not independently making his own decisions on the issues, really has never talked with him.
Finally, I respect and appreciate every one of the present council.

I find Cohen quite refreshing. He doesn't owe anyone anything (not developers or unions even though he talks with both). He seems to be serving our community out of a sense of duty to doing Good rather than to the Almighty Buck or to satisfy his Ego.
From what I can tell, he is the only Councilmember who has made consistently clear his priorities since he took office - open and inclusive government, balanced budget, planning our community's future. If you listen closely, he explains his votes early in the council discussions. I do wish he would repeat his rationale when votes are taken because his colleagues and the reporters seem to miss it. On the other hand, that wouldn't be needed if the council's discussions wandered less and the meetings were shorter.

This is the kind of stuff that just wastes time. Attacking one person or praising one person, giving credit to one person, blaming another and so on. Can we stay on the issues please? All councilmembers bravely put their time in week to week and they all deserve at least some respect.
First, there is no evidence that any councilmember is owned. Nor is there is evidence that any councilmember is not influenced by special interests. Call it what it is.
Back to the open government issue. This is a great start. The letter didn't go far enough in my opinion. But I am glad it is happening.
If I recall, the real cry for open government came from the new candidates. In two years, I never saw a letter or opinion from the two senior councilmembers to this effect. Regardless, with the request for open government reform, this council has set a pretty high bar for itself. Let's see if it has the stones to see it through and push for change.

As far as I know, Andy talks to everyone who wants to spend time with him and personally investigates issues that constituents raise. I find it very refreshing that he doesn't waffle or try to speak out of both sides of his mouth as most of the other council members do.
BBW may feel more comfortable with council members who listen primarily to out-of-towners or to people with a vested financial interest in council decisions. I am glad that Andy and Rich have taken down the "for sale to highest bidder" signs.

To reach here we had a long journey in dusty roads full of rocks and pits. It took us 4 hours to reach.
Here in Kenya and in similar countries with these bad dirt roads the distances should be considered differently. One can believe that a distance of 20 kms can be covered in 15 minutes or 20 the maximum but the truth is that one needs more than 2 hours to reach this distance because of the very bad condition of the dirt roads
The word 'safari' for an African means drive, so our
safari is interesting, because we see zebras and gazelles in the fields on our way to the school. Many 'wild beasts' as the locals call them here which in reality are the male cows, very different from ours. They look like buffalos. Giraffes can be seen in the distance, and wild pigs. We are told that you can be attacked by a leopard if you walk in the evening in these fields. The Massai people who live out in these fields are able to protect themselves and from a young age they are trained how to kill these animals.
The Massai tribe is found mainly in the southern part of Kenya. They worship cattle because it is their main source of economic survival.
They prefer to remain nomadic herdsmen, moving as their needs necessitate
The students of this school walk for miles to attend classes.
Their school is in a much better condition than the one I visited some days ago, and the students here, even wear uniforms. Of course it is a poor school, and not all teachers here get paid.
Most of them do volunteer work as I am informed, and the salary of a teacher who is paid from the government does not exceed the $190 U.S.
We have brought rice and maize for the students today, soap, many pencils, copy books and candies
In the drier regions of the north, they subsist on a diet of cow's blood and milk, which they mix together and drink.
A cup of such milk mixed with blood was offered to us when we visited the small Massai settlement 3 days ago, but we politely refused to have. (I am so sad that by the time we got to that Massai settlement I had no space in the camera for more photos) !
I am interested to see where the children's food is prepared, and the principal of the school takes me there. (See photos).
They tell us that the older students are responsible for the school's daily cooking
At the back of the school the students learn how to create a small garden, and some students grow different plants. There is lack of water in the area. It is a place with very little rain and for this reason they keep a big reservoir at the back of the school.
There is a very cute little girl of about 4 or 5 who is very scared. The moment she sees us she starts crying. Probably it is the first time she has seen a white person but little by little her attitude changes. By the time we leave she is smiling and she even gives me her hand and I hug and kiss her.
The best way to greet children is to touch them on the head I am told. In return the kids bow to show their respect.
In a senior classroom I start chatting with the students, and the atmosphere is really friendly
When we leave the class the principal tells me that because the boy had had a circumcision it was not right for me to hug or kiss him and that was the reason why the girl acted like that. He is supposed to be a man now and he is no longer a kid as I thought!
Before we leave, the bell rings and all students by class are gathered around the place where their country's flag stands. There are a few announcements made, and they stand around the things we brought them. They thank us, and there is some singing and praising to the Lord. They seem to be very religious, but this can be seen throughout the country. There are no atheists here.
We greet them goodbye and we get in the jeep and drive off.
It is already quite late in the afternoon but the trip does not end here. We visit a couple of other houses and distribute clothes and gifts (I am thankful that we brought many) and by the time we get home it is really late.
It has been a tiring, yet very interesting day with new experiences again today!

Drug Information
Magnesium hydroxide is used as an antacid for short-term relief of stomach upset and as a laxative for short-term treatment of constipation . Magnesium hydroxide is available in nonprescription products alone and in combination with other nonprescription ingredients to relieve stomach upset.
Common brand names:Phillips Milk of Magnesia
Summary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Folic Acid
Folic acid is needed by the body to utilize vitamin B12 . Antacids, including magnesium hydroxide, inhibit folic acid absorption.1 People taking antacids are advised to supplement with folic acid.
Antacids, including magnesium hydroxide, may reduce the absorption of dietary iron. Iron supplements do not require stomach acid for absorption and one human study found that a magnesium hydroxide/ aluminum hydroxide antacid did not decrease supplemental iron absorption.2The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.

Potential Negative Interaction
Explanation Required
Individuals taking potassium-depleting diuretics and those who are otherwise at risk of developing potassium deficiency (such as people with chronic diarrhea or vomiting) may experience a fall in serum potassium levels if they take magnesium without taking additional potassium.3 This could lead to muscle cramps or, in individuals taking digoxin or digitalis, more serious problems such as cardiac arrhythmias . Individuals who have a history of potassium deficiency and those who are at risk of developing potassium deficiency, as well as people taking digoxin or digitalis, should consult a physician before taking magnesium-containing products.

Let's see what I have on this thread:
The first one is about how seed drills pulverize the neonic seed coat on maize, and the dust can blow across fields (off target effect).
The second one shows that guttation drops from neonic treated corn kills bees within minutes (another off target effect).
The third one shows that neonics, even at sublethal/undetectable doses, increases the pathogenicity of Nosema (potentiation effect) while suppresing glucose oxidase/colony immunity (immune suppression).
So, neonics can kill during planting, during the first few weeks of growth, can 'potentiate' a known honeybee pathogen afterwards, and then suppress colony immunity.
So, it's obvious that neonics can not only go off target and kill directly, but even at undetectable levels, they can cause Nosema to become more deadly.
Have I left anything out?
Off target effects, pathogen potentiation, and immune suppression.
I'd say that neonics have a few problems.


text: A Monon man was killed in a crash this morning that shut down both northbound lanes of I-65 near the Demotte-Roselawn exit just south of Lowell for several hours and sent two truck drivers to an area hospital. Jim A. Uildriks, 52, of Monon, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 6 a.m. wreck by the Lake County Coroner as a result of blunt force trauma. His 2007 Dodge Ram pickup truck was behind a tractor-trailer driven by Richard W. Konrad, 59, of Indianapolis, which had stopped because of construction up ahead, according to the Indiana State Police. A second semi, driven by Paul J. Gottsacker, 51, of Lavelle, Wis., was behind Uildriks' truck and did not slow down or stop. It hit and ran over the pickup before hitting the trailer of Konrad's semi. Both truck drivers complained of pain and were taken to Saint Anthony's Hospital in Crown Point.

Fleeing man run over, killed by DeLand officer
Published: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 10:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at 10:15 a.m.
DELAND, Fla. — The Florida Highway Patrol says a man was run over by a patrol car and killed while fleeing DeLand police during a traffic stop.
The incident began early Wednesday after a Volusia County Sheriff's deputy tried to stop a vehicle for a traffic infraction. The driver fled and the deputy deactivated his emergency equipment.
Troopers say an alert was put out and two DeLand police officers spotted the car and began following it.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports the car stopped and the driver got out and ran. That's when the patrol car ran over him.
FHP says four women inside the car were not injured. The agency will review video from the patrol car's dashboard camera to figure out what happened.
The incident remains under investigation.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Graphics Card Review
By Olin Coles
Manufacturer: NVIDIA Corporation
Product Name: GeForce GTX 760 Graphics Card
Retail Price: Starting at $249.99 (Amazon | Newegg)
Full Disclosure: The product sample used in this article has been provided by NVIDIA.
On 25 June 2013 NVIDIA will introduce the GeForce GTX 760 video card, designed to replace the GeForce GTX 660 Ti in the updated product stack. These two discrete graphics solutions are virtually identical in looks, shape, and size, but GeForce GTX 760 has received an updated graphics processor and memory subsystem.
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 760 video card is built from the 28nm Kepler GK104 graphics processor, featuring 1152 CUDA cores that are clocked to reach 980 MHz and reach 1033 using NVIDIA Boost 2.0 technology. GeForce GTX 760 also comes with 2GB of GDDR5 video memory, clocked to provide a 1502 MHz graphics frame buffer. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests and compares the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 graphics card using several highly-demanding DX11 video games, such as Metro: Last Light, Batman: Arkham City, and Battlefield 3.
There are three platforms to enjoy video games: portable, console, and PC. While smartphone and tablet devices can play games, graphics rarely go beyond simple 2D. Gaming consoles take detail quality a few steps farther, but pale in comparison to the hyper-realistic gaming experience available to high-end PC graphics cards. While game developers might not consider PC gaming as lucrative as entertainment consoles, companies like NVIDIA use desktop graphics technology to set the benchmark for smaller more compact GPU designs that make it into notebooks, tablets, and smartphone devices.
GeForce GTX 760 Features
Source: NVIDIA
The GeForce GTX 760 has been designed for gamers who want to enjoy their games with the graphics settings and AA turned up, paired with a 1920×1200 or 1920×1080 display. GeForce GTX 760 ships with 6 SMX units providing 1152 CUDA Cores. The memory subsystem of GeForce GTX 760 consists of four 64-bit memory controllers (256-bit) with 2GB of GDDR5 memory.
The base clock speed of the GeForce GTX 760 is 980MHz. The typical Boost Clock speed is 1033MHz. The Boost Clock speed is based on the average GeForce GTX 760 card running a wide variety of games and applications. Note that the actual Boost clock will vary from game-to-game depending on actual system conditions. GeForce GTX 760's memory speed is 6008MHz data rate.
The GeForce GTX 760 reference board measures 9.5" in length. Display outputs include two dual-link DVIs, one HDMI and one DisplayPort connector. Two 6-pin PCIe power connectors are required for operation
NVIDIA Boost 2.0
NVIDIA GPU Boost technology automatically increases the GPU's clock frequency in order to improve performance. GPU Boost works in the background, dynamically adjusting the GPU's graphics clock speed based on GPU operating conditions.
Originally GPU Boost was designed to reach the highest possible clock speed while remaining within a predefined power target. However, after careful evaluation NVIDIA engineers determined that GPU temperature is often a bigger inhibitor of performance than GPU power. Therefore for Boost 2.0, we've switched from boosting clock speeds based on a GPU power target, to a GPU temperature target. This new temperature target is 80 degrees Celsius.
As a result of this change, the GPU will automatically boost to the highest clock frequency it can achieve as long as the GPU temperature remains at 80C. Boost 2.0 constantly monitors GPU temperature, adjusting the GPU's clock and its voltage on-the-fly to maintain this temperature.
In addition to switching from a power-based boost target to a temperature-based target, with GPU Boost 2.0 we're also providing end users with more advanced controls for tweaking GPU Boost behavior. Using software tools provided by NVIDIA add-in card partners, end users can adjust the GPU temperature target precisely to their liking. If a user wants his GeForce GTX 760 board to boost to higher clocks for example, he can simply adjust the temperature target higher (for example from 80C, to 85C). The GPU will then boost to higher clock speeds until it reaches the new temperature target.
Besides adjusting the temperature target, Boost 2.0 also provides users with more powerful fan control. The GPU's fan curve is completely adjustable, so you can adjust the GPU's fan to operate at different speeds based on your own preferences.
Adaptive Temperature Controller
With GPU Boost 2.0, the GPU will boost to the highest clock speed it can achieve while operating at 80C. Boost 2.0 will dynamically adjust the GPU fan speed up or down as needed to attempt to maintain this temperature. While we've attempted to minimize fan speed variation as much as possible in prior GPUs, fan speeds did occasionally fluctuate.
For GeForce GTX 760, we've developed an all-new fan controller that uses an adaptive temperature filter with an RPM and temperature targeted control algorithm to eliminate the unnecessary fan fluctuations that contribute to fan noise, providing a smoother acoustic experience.
NVIDIA GeForce Experience
GeForce Experience is a new application from NVIDIA that optimizes your PC in two key ways. First, it maximizes your game performance and game compatibility by automatically downloading the latest GeForce Game Ready drivers. Second, GeForce Experience intelligently optimizes graphics settings for all your favorite games based on your hardware configuration.
Shadow Play
Utilizing the H.264 video encoder built-in to every Kepler GPU, ShadowPlay works in the background, seamlessly recording your last 20 minutes of gameplay footage, or if you'd like to record your latest StarCraft match, ShadowPlay can record that too.
Compared to software-based video encoders like FRAPS, ShadowPlay takes less of a performance hit, so you can enjoy your games while you're recording.

Cell phones who would have thought?
Cell phones who would have thought?
Old myth, we get hives from in cell towers and power boxes all the time. I can assure you they are healthy. Bee physiology is nothing like humans or their lifespan. They do not talk and text while driving/flying either.
The real issue will be when all the old Beeks retire and there are far fewer people to keep bees, then we will definitely see a decline in bees.
It stated that the colony with cell phones got extra loud when the phone received a call..... Knocking on the side of a box has the same affect
I carry a phone in my pocket when I am working my hives and have never experienced CCD in any of my hives.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
This young beek would be glad to take all your hives when your ready to retire...
I never let my bees have cell phones.
Just bought a bunch of woodware from a guy who was a hobby bee guy. then a friend knew a friend who knew of an old beek who had retired. Ended up buying his bee farm and all the stuff. went from having 4 working hives to about 15 with the potential of about 100 more in wooden ware in stock.
Old, non-science news from Britain's trashiest "news" paper.
On a related note though, cell-phone-related deaths of my bees are increasing at an alarming rate as more and more of them engage in texting while flying. I've warned them, but you can't legislate against stupidity. one of them idiots just hit my window!

Reviews for this host's other properties
For us it was a pleasure to be your guests! Thanks to Alexandra and Erik we had a wonderful first week on Crete. We had no problems with our appartment at all. Everything clean and functioned well. We even had TWO (!) cooling fans, so we didn't had to sweat due to the intense heat. Alexandra and Erik were very helpful and gave us good advice concerning sightseeing or food shopping! Me and my girlfriend cannot complain about anything and we wish Alexandra and Erik the best for the future.

'A Walk to Beautiful' to be shown May 14 at Pine River church
First Lutheran Church women in Pine River will show "A Walk to Beautiful" at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, in the church fellowship hall.
Dessert will follow the program.
RSVP to First Lutheran Church at 218-587-2316 or email@example.com.
This public broadcasting video tells the story of loneliness and shame for thousands of Ethiopian women. These women who are rejected by their husbands and ostracized by their communities leave their homes in search of treatment of obstetric fistula. Walking for hours to the nearest road, then searching for public transportation, they finally reach Western and African doctors who treat them with respect and find they are surrounded by women like themselves.
This event is open to all women and those who attend are encouraged to bring a friend.

I am a second year beekeeper with 2 hives and 2 NUCS on the way. I am very happy that the hives survived the winter despite my "help". I was welcomed last week with a kiss on the nose from one hive. This year is going to be great!
I appreciate all the discussions.

Single-Origin Coffees versus Blends
So much attention these days seems to be given to single-origin coffees – served as shots of espresso, dripped in brewers, or brewed in siphons.
Coffees termed "single-origin" are pure, unblended coffees from one particular region (Sumatra, Kenya, etc.). People laud the "purity" of the single-origin coffee experience – being able to fully appreciate the terroir of each coffee, roasted just dark enough to develop the full potential of these coffees' flavor, body, acidity, and aroma, without the incursion or influence of any tastes introduced by the roasting process itself.
As Yogi Berra famously said, "It's déjà vu all over again!"
When I first started in the specialty coffee business in the late 1970's, people were in love with single-origin coffees fresh from the roaster. Blends were available, too, of course, and some sold quite well. But the majority of interest from the extremely small consumer base that existed in those early years seemed to be was focused on "varietals" (as unblended coffees were incorrectly called in those days – the more accurate and au courant description "single-origin" being coined in the late '80's).
This infatuation with unblended coffees in the '70's was understandable, given the paucity of coffee knowledge of that time period. Early adopters of specialty coffee in the 1970's were a product of the years between the 1920's and the 1950's, when the only types of coffee available were blends such as Folgers or Maxwell House, certainly not any single-origin coffees! During their formative years, America's heavily marketed coffee blends were sold pre-ground in vacuum-sealed tin cans on supermarket shelves. In fact, as hard as it is to imagine this today, many consumers I originally sold freshly roasted coffee single-origin coffees to in the 1970's actually had no idea that coffee existed in the whole bean form, or indeed that it had even been roasted. They assumed that it was packaged in the form that it was grown in – brown and granular!
In my opinion, the single-origin coffee experience today is vastly better today than it was in my early years of passionate involvement with specialty coffee. Today, the selection of exemplary single-origin coffees for roasters has been exponentially expanded with the development of green coffee firms focusing exclusively on upper-end coffees – a segment of the market that basically didn't even exist in the 1970's. The Internet has made information and knowledge flow easily in both directions between growers and roasters – it is so much easier for a roaster to sell an expensive single-origin coffee today because they can more readily tell the consumer the "back story" behind the coffees in the bin. Finally, programs such as the Cup of Excellence® and the Coffee Quality Institute® have created an intense awareness at origin on the linkage between single-origins' quality and the price they can command in the marketplace. The result of these revolutionary changes since the 1970's for single-origin coffee aficionados is nothing short of spectacular.
Coffee Bean International - with its history extending back to a single storefront also selling freshly roasted coffees in the early '70's - today offers its customers a beautiful assortment of single-origin coffees, sourced from the primary coffee-producing countries around the world. All of our unique single-origin coffees are hand-roasted by us in Portland to the lightest roast level practical – high enough to where the maximum amount of flavor and aroma has been created without tasting grassy or green, and low enough to avoid having the taste of the roast become apparent in the cup. Our trademarked name for this light single-origin roast is "Peak Roast®", a self-describing term if I've ever heard one.
Interestingly, Coffee Bean International also offers an alternative roast level on a small subset of these same high-quality single-origin green coffees. This slightly, subtly darker roast level, trademarked by us as our "Velvet Roast®" level, deepens the character of these select single-origin coffees, adding complexity, body and interest in the cup, in my opinion, without adding any appreciable awareness of a darker roast.
As you can see, we here at Coffee Bean International are obviously WAY into single-origin coffees - and have been for years, opting for this varied approach rather than that of many other specialty roasters that only offer one light roast level for their unblended coffees.
Blends – somewhat out of favor in a few zealots' minds today - are a mixture of two or more single-origin coffees, sometimes all taken to the same roast level, sometimes each taken to different roast levels. Blends can also be created by mixing sub-blends together, sometimes with an added single-origin or two for something specific such as body or aroma. There is no limit to the profiles you can create, if you understand your coffees and have a gift for working with food.
The dissatisfaction with blends (and presumably the roasters that create them) by single-origin fanatics has a little déjà vu in it for me today, for it reminds me of my own prejudices and attitudes when I was young and learning (and earning) my way upward in coffee. In those years all that mattered to me were single-origins, with their moodiness and their divergent personalities. I loved imagining the journeys they had taken to get to me, and loved imagining the people and cultures that they represented. Coffee blends, in my mind, were nowhere near as interesting, with their refinement and balance, predictability and practicality. It took me years to realize that - in the same way the music of a string quartet compares to that of a lone violinist - designing great blends, of bringing together all of the divergent flavors and tones and characteristics of the best single-origins into one dynamic and cohesive cup actually represents one of the biggest challenges - and greatest satisfactions - a roaster can encounter.

For 19 years, readers of Lois Lowry's award-winning book The Giver have wondered how the story would end. This month, the fourth and final book in the series, Son, hit stores. Lowry sat down with TFK Kid Reporter Adriana Palmieri to talk about the complete series and her life as a writer.
Son is the fourth and final book of a series that started with Newbery Medal winner, The Giver. Did you have a particular message in mind when you wrote The Giver?
I hate books with messages. There is no message in The Giver. I just try to tell a story. Sometimes then, readers will find things that are messages in the book, but I didn't consciously put them in there.
Where did you get the idea for The Giver?
The Giver was written 20 years ago. My father was very old at that time, and he was losing his memory. So, I was thinking a lot about memory and what it would be like if we could control other people's memories, and that's kind of what became the book The Giver.
Did traveling all over the world as a young girl influence how you thought of society?
Traveling and living all over the world as a young kid made me an observant person. I was always very shy, and so it was sometimes difficult to be the new kid in a school or a foreign country. But it taught me to see things, to notice things and to pay attention to things, and that's important for a writer.
What is your new book, Son, about?
In the book The Giver at the end of the book and throughout the book, there is a baby named Gabe. The new book Son is about him and what has become of him. But it is about more than that too. In The Giver, there are young girls who are chosen when they are 12 to be birthmothers, and their job is to produce babies for the community. So, a lot of the book focuses on the young girl who has given birth to Gabe. She's a new character, [and] her name is Claire.
What is your goal as a writer?
Just to tell a good story. I don't want to teach anybody anything. I don't want to influence their politics or make them into religious people.
Who or what inspired you to become a writer?
I was lucky that I grew up in a house that had a lot of books and in a family that read a lot. And I think that's what most inspired me. There was no particular person who influenced me, although my mother had been a teacher before she got married, and she would read to us a lot when we were children.
In any of your novels, is there a certain character that represents you?
Two of my books, A Summer to Die and Autumn Street, are autobiographical, so the main character is me, though I've given myself a different name. In the other books, the characters are all fictional. But I think probably in each book, the main character, even though sometimes it's a boy, probably has my characteristics. I think in most of my books the main characters are often very introspective, which means they think a lot and are creative. That would have been me at that age. Also, two of my books, Stay and Bless this Mouse, are about non-humans. One had a dog as a main character, and one has a mouse. But even so, that dog and that mouse have my characteristics.
What is your proudest achievement as a writer?
I do not have an answer for that. There are things that I have been proud of in each book, and there are things I wish I could go back and change in each book because I feel I could've done better. But you know, that's probably a good thing, because if you felt as though something you did was perfect then why would you go on to do it again? You always work on trying to do it better.
Did you like to write as a young girl?
Oh yeah. That is what I always did best and liked best. Matter of fact, there is a children's magazine that is still published, and its name is Jack and Jill. It was around when I was a child, and when I was 10 years old, they had two pages where they printed letters from kids. They printed one of my letters, and after all these years I found it. It said the year 1947, and there was my letter, and it says in my letter [that] I am writing a book. It is called A Dog Named Lucky, and I am on chapter 13. I have no memory of that book, and I never finished it. I probably never got beyond chapter 13. I was being a writer even then when I was 10.
When you are not writing, what do you like to do?
I travel a lot, and I like to spend time with my grandchildren. I have a dog and a cat. I have gardens. And the thing I most enjoy is I go to movies. That's what I miss in the summer. I have a wonderful summer house, but it is way far away from any movie theater.

If I was ever in love with a game it was AC 2 so naturally I was gutted when it closed down. I'm no graphics whore but I think the way an MMO looks is very important and to my eye AC 2 looked nothing short of incredible.
Since then I've tried practically every MMO out there and none of them have come close to the feeling created by AC 2 in terms of gameplay, visual appeal or the immersive feeling of the game world.

text: Hi. I searched but couldn't find an answer. I have a 2010 Silverado WT with a 4.3L V6. I bought it new and let the dealer do the oil changes and tire rotations. I decided that since money is getting tight right now that I can save some money by rotating my own tires and changing my own oil, and I actually miss doing this work myself. I start with the oil change. I get it on ramps and take a look. Looks easy enough. (My last truck was a 1990 with a 305 and I did all the routine maintenance for the 13 years I drove it. So besides resetting the computerized nonsense this should not be any harder.) I get my ratchet out and try to remove the oil drain plug. Damn its tight! Oops it slipped and rounded the edges of the plug a bit. I didn't want to mess anything up and decided to take it to the dealer one more time to do these services. When I ask them to change the oil and rotate the tires I also ask them if they can use hand tools instead of air powered impact wrenches to tighten the drain plug and lug nuts so that they are not so tight that I can't use my own hand tools at home if I decide to work on my truck myself. Well of coarse the the service manager tells me he can't hand tighten the lug nuts on the tires because it will be a safety issue because the lug nuts will work their way off while driving, and same with the oil drain plug. So I ask him is this something that all new trucks need? I changed my own oil and rotated my tires with my 1990 for the thirteen years I owned it and never had it fall apart or anything come loose after tightening them with my own hand powered tools. He didn't know what to say to that. So I told him if your not comfortable using your hand tools than just do it your way. I didn't have any fight in me at the time and my oil needed changing. So what I want to know is do I need to buy and air compressor and impact wrenches and whatnot to just change oil and rotate tires?, or if I find a way to loosen these parts by hand is it alright to use my hand powered ratchet and my hand power lug nut wrench and my own power to tighten the lug nuts and the drain plug like I did with my old truck? Or is something different on these new trucks? Because I don't want parts falling off my truck because I didn't use an air powered impact wrench. I'm pretty sure the service manager is BSing with me. Also, the one time I had work done on the brakes of my old 1990 truck the dealer tightened its lug nuts so tight I busted the wrench that came with the truck for removing the tires. So if this is the case if I ever got a flat on my new truck that has had its lugs overtightened it would be pointless to try to put the spare on it. I would just possibly destroy another factory lug wrench or just bust my gut trying to loosen the lug nuts. (On a side note I also found out the hard way that there is only one headlight bulb that can be replaced without having to take the whole front of the truck apart. Damn! vehicles have gotten dumb in 20 years. I figured technology would have made them easier to own, but instead it just made 10-20min repair jobs go to 2-3hr jobs!)

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by roscoe36, Oct 25, 2007.
I'm going to hedge my happiness and pick the Bears in my survival pool. Win/win.
Last year's Super Bowl representative. Can we beat them twice this season. Probably not. I don't think they've fallen that far yet. Look for a 14 point Bear victory margin........
Not so fast there youngin. CJ back with KJ running the rock? More balanced offense should produce more points over the whole game. That said, I had this pegged as a loss.
Your positive attitude is respected by me. So is your intelligence. I still WANT the Lions to win......but.
Nemo, you pick the Lions to lose EVERY week. So far you're 2-4.
Yea, I know. I used to be good at predicting Lions losses. They never were opportunistic before. They would just roll over and play dead. This week, If the Lions win. They should pour the gatoraid on Marenilli for the 2nd week in a row. And Millen should have to dry him off.
Lick it off?
Griese has been putting solid #s but their D is beatup. Bears should be solid at home. If Lions win...well ESPN rating before last weeks win was 11 and now we are 9th best !!! Mirrors break on the rough NFL road. Bears 24 Mirrors 17
This is a tough one to call. It could go either way, but I think it's almost always safe to go against the Lions...especially for a road game that matters. Bears win.
This is the week where the Lions look like a real NFL team. Not only will they defeat the Bears, the offense will look like the juggernaut that it`s really not. Kevin Jones will rush over 100 yards and the defense will force three/four turnovers to remain one of the top (in forcing turnovers) teams in the league. Stay tuned for the winning lottery numbers after the game!!!!!!!
The colour commentator for the game just said that Calvin Johnson may be the biggest and most athletic player to EVER play WR in the league. Wow, talk about a lofty statement. I don't know about all that, since he has only played 6 games in the league, but he's special for sure. CJ just had another nice gain on an end around but came up a bit gimpy.
Lions are winning 10-0 near halftime.......I may have to start predicting WINS for these guys......
13-0 Lions at the half. Roy Williams is an immense talent, but he makes a lot of mental mistakes. Two weeks in a row now he has failed to make the right move to get out of bounds after a catch with time running out. Last week he didn't even attempt to get out of bounds, which the announcer picked up on right away. He made a catch near the sidelines and all he would have had to do was continue running in the direction of his momentum and would have easily got out of bounds to stop the clock. Instead, he turned it back inside to try to get an extra yard or two. In that instance, time (and saving a timeout) is more important than an extra yard. Again just before the half today, approx 20 seconds left in the half, Roy catches a pass for a first down near the sideline. Instead of getting out of bounds, he makes a spin move back inside to try and fight for extra yards. The Lions were forced to call their final timeout and had to settle for a field goal.
NO! Don't do that. Keep predicting losses. It's working like a charm. LOL. I'm not going to get too hopeful. MSU was up 17-3 at the half yesterday. Damn, if the Lions win and go to 5-2...I dunno...I can handle them being losers I'm used to it...but success? Seriously, I really don't know what to think about this. But I'm jumping ahead...Still a half left to be the REAL Lions.
I don't think he's as dumb as he is a selfish bas*ard.
You're right, there's still a lot of time left. However, I'm feeling decent about our chances. Though I would have preferred a TD at the end of the 1st half instead of a field goal (lucky bounce for Hanson on that 52 yarder). The Bears O doesn't really scare me, although Griese is at his best in the hurry up offense. The Bears D is without several key players, but they still have enough play makers to turn this game around. They average more points than their offense, so this one is a long way from over. I'd like to see the Lions feed the Bears a steady dose of KJ and TJ up the gut to eat some clock in the 2nd half.
I think it's more dumb than selfish. I mean, he hasn't complained since we drafted CJ, and he seems to have embraced it. Despite the fact that he knew his touches would go down quite a bit.
I don't think he's dumb either. I agree about him being a bit selfish. A great example is his "first down salute" in games when they are getting blown out. He has a bit of an ego too. He reminds me of a tamer, less crazy version of Chad Johnson. I think Calvin Johnson will end up being Roy v2.0. He's bigger (6'3" vs 6'5"), faster (which Roy admitted to last week), smarter and more grounded than Roy.
Excellent point. I don't think that he's totally selfish, but I definitely think that he's a bit of a "me" player (which, IMO, most of the elite WRs are). I think that it's a combination of selfish and just mental lapses. Not dumb, just "brain farts" once or twice a game.
Separate names with a comma.

Rahm Emanuel: "Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values"
posted at 4:43 pm on July 25, 2012 by Allahpundit
Is there anywhere in America outside of Chicago itself where the term "Chicago values" isn't pejorative? It's basically a byword for political corruption and insane levels of gun violence (tough local gun-control measures notwithstanding). If I were the Cathy family, I'd be tempted to make Rahm's quote the company's new slogan. "Chick-fil-A: Where the numbers add up and no one gets shot."
Ald.Proco "Joe" Moreno announced this week that he will block Chick-fil-A's effort to build its second Chicago store, which would be in the Logan Square neighborhood, following company President Dan Cathy's remarks last week that he was "guilty as charged" for supporting the biblical definition of marriage as between a man and woman.
"If you are discriminating against a segment of the community, I don't want you in the 1st Ward," Moreno told the Tribune on Tuesday…
"Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values," the mayor said in a statement when asked about Moreno's decision. "They disrespect our fellow neighbors and residents. This would be a bad investment, since it would be empty."
Moreno is relying on a rarely violated Chicago tradition known as aldermanic privilege, which dictates that City Council members defer to the opinion of the ward alderman on local issues. Last year Moreno wielded that weapon to block plans for a Wal-Martin his ward, saying he had issues with the property owner and that Wal-Mart was not "a perfect fit for the area."
I always get crossed up when gay-marriage supporters get indignant with opponents because I agree with them on the merits but can't quite believe that sanctimony can set in so quickly on an issue that used to see ~70 percent opposition as recently as 15 years ago. A lot of people have changed their minds since then, including me, but it's precisely because I used to hold the opposite position that I feel humility when tempted to sneer at gay-marriage opponents. Were Rahm and Moreno true blue SSM supporters from day one or did they too once — gasp — have "Chick-fil-A values" on this subject? As I recall, Rahm spent a few years working for a guy who lied his ass off about gay marriage for decades purely for cynical, self-interested political advantage. Were his values copacetic with "Chicago values" before he "evolved"? What's worse, the Cathy family honestly professing their opposition to gay marriage or the Lightbringer dishonestly professing his opposition because he cared more about getting elected than standing up publicly for something he privately believed? The view from your high horse must be amazing, Rahm.
Per First Amendment expert Eugene Volokh, denying the company a building permit because of its managers' political or religious views is grossly unconstitutional. The same is, and always was, true of the Ground Zero mosque in NYC; you can hope that they don't build on the site, but when push comes to shove, they have the right. (The legal calculus would change if Chick-fil-A refused to serve gays, but as far as I know, the business itself has never discriminated.) The silver lining: If Rahm and Moreno are right about "Chicago values" then Chicagoans will simply refuse to patronize the new franchise. Evidently Chick-fil-A's gambling that there are enough locals who'll come to eat that it's worth the expense of trying to set up shop. If Rahm's serious about what he said, he should be willing to gamble too. Let them build and, after a boycott is inevitably organized, the market will decide who wins. And if the boycott works and Chick-fil-A decides to withdraw from blue states and cities, hey, I'll live. We've still got the colonel in NYC, baby. He was pro-gay-marriage, right?
Update: I really should be above linking to Roseanne Barr's tweets by now. I should be. And yet.
