What's the best Kindle: Which Kindle should I buy?
Ok, the first thing you need to know is that the difference between the most basic and most advanced Kindle, is similar to comparing Steve Lomas and Paul Scholes. One is a fiery ginger one-dimensional footballer/thug, the other is one of the best footballers to play the game...who also happens to be ginger and fiery. Essentially, what I'm saying is that the cheapest Kindle (Steve Lomas) can only do one thing, whereas the most expensive can offer you a lot more (Paul Scholes). See also: How to watch free films on iPad.
Let's start with what you might be looking for when considering buying a Kindle. The chances are that if you are looking to buy a Kindle, you actually want to buy an eReader. (Kindle has become synonymous with eReaders, much in the same way Hoover has with vacuum cleaners). You should know that there are other makers of eReaders out there, take a look at our list eReader reviews to learn more.
If you are only looking for a device to read eBooks on, then the good news is that there is no real need to fork out for the most expensive Kindle on the market.
£69 Kindle
The bulk standard £69 Kindle is all you really need. It comes with Wi-Fi and has full access to the Kindle eBook store. With this you can store over 1,400 books (which is ridiculous), and you can even delete titles and re-download them for free via Amazon's cloud should storage space be an issue.
On top of that there is so little actual technology in the £69 Kindle that the battery life is staggeringly good, up to a month in fact. Finally, the screen E-Ink, which in real-world terms means that the contrast it good making it look like real page in a book, there is no glare and you can read your books from any angle and also in bright sunlight (perfect for holidays).
Kindle Paperwhite
This really doesn't need a lot of explaining, as it's pretty much the same and the £69 Kindle, but with a white background that lights up and enables reading in the dark. It's a nifty feature, but the question you should be asking yourself here is whether being able to read with the bedside lamp turned off is worth £40 of your money.
Kindle Fire, Fire HD and Fire HD 8.9
Ok, now we're stepping away from the world of eReaders and into the world of budget tablet PCs. These tablets are a long way from the iPads of the world, in terms of processing power and user experience, but they offer a lot of the same functionalities (web browsing, apps, gaming, video playback) at a fraction of the price, hence the name 'budget tablet'.
While the Kindle Fire tablet comes preinstalled with Kindle apps that let you access and read all of Amazon's 650,000 eBooks, the flipside is that it will be on a bright screen, and the consensus is that reading text on tablet screens isn't as comfortable as it is on E-Ink screens. The other downside to reading eBooks on tablets is that the screen and more powerful processors have a massive impact on battery life, dragging it down from potentially a month on a dedicated eReader, to under 10 hours on a tablet.
If you're in the market for an eReader, then the question you need to ask yourself with regards to the Kindle Fire vs a standard Kindle is, how much do you want to sacrifice the reading experience of extremely long battery life E-Ink eReader, such as the £69 Kindle and the Kindle Paperwhite, in return for the added web browsing and video viewing functionalities of the Kindle Fire range. If you only want a device to read books on, then the standard Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite is probably more suited, whereas if you want to read books, use apps, social network, browse the web and watch video then a Kindle Fire is more suited for you.
…If the latter is the case, then you really should consider other tablets too. Take a look at your best tablets chart and best budget tablets chart to find out more.
Wi-Fi Kindle or 3G Kindle?
Ok, the final thing you need to ask yourself is whether you want a 3G Kindle or a Wi-Fi only Kindle. What 3G lets you do is download Kindle content on-the-go when you have no Wi-Fi connection near you.
However, if you can spare a couple of minutes to download the books you want while connected to your home or work's Wi-Fi, then we strongly urge you to opt for the Wi-Fi only models. That way you can spend the money you save on some decent books for your Kindle, which is perhaps the most important factor of all.

FITSNews – February 18, 2008 – We know it's against the law to criticize Barack Obama these days, but the fact that sections of his stump speech are pretty much plagiarized from speeches given two years ago by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is kind of disappointing. Or at least it would be if we shared Obama's vision for America, which we don't, so that's probably a poor choice of words.
Speaking of poor word choices, though, here's what Obama's been saying lately on the campaign trail:
"Don't tell me words don't matter! 'I have a dream.' Just words. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.' Just words. 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself.' Just words, just speeches!"
And here's what Patrick said back in 2006 while running against then-Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey:
"Her dismissive point, and I hear it a lot from her staff, is all I have to offer is words. Just words. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal' — just words. Just words. 'We have nothing to fear but fear itself' — just words. 'Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country' — just words. 'I have a dream' — just words."
Is it plagiarism? Probably. Of course, since we're the most original writers like, ever (and since we can't even spell "plagiarism" without computer assistance), we're probably the last people on the planet you should ask. We have noted how unoriginal Obama can be in the past, but that was before a certain sultry supporter of his stole our hearts, people. Now we believe in "One Nation, Under Oprah," too!

With the distance here, you need to test as many things as possible before sending new parts. Testing an ECU is free, and I could install my replacement MAP for under $100, but round trip shipping could exceed that. Bruce Roe
With the distance here, you need to test as many things as possible before sending new parts. Testing an ECU is free, and I could install my replacement MAP for under $100, but round trip shipping could exceed that. Bruce Roe
Hey Bruce, sorry for the delay, my first daughter is about to come this world, so wife is taking a lot of my time!
Well, today i had the chance to test both temperatura sensors, and both @ room temperature, are 980ohms, is this correct?
That is a good value for room temp, they look good. Bruce
Now i think i have to clear the injectors, change their o-rings etc...
There is 2 solenoids, in the vacuum lines, do you have any idea on how to test them?
This problem could be connected to the vacuum lines?
my car is a california car, but some dumb machanic installed the wrong TVS sensor, i already purchased a new one there i will be getting tonight.
With this new TVS i will be able to leave my vaccum lines exactly as it was when came from the factory.
Any new ideas?
What is the BENDIX 161 xxxx number on your ECU? Check your MAP voltage.
Note the 5 pin test connector opposite the connector. It has 3 contacts, a gap cut in the board, and 2 more contacts. The very last contact above is the MAP voltage. With ign on, engine not running, it should read 7 or 7.5V ref to ground. Check your timing chain by lining up your timing mark. With distributor cap off, rock the crankshaft by hand, see how far you must go before the dist rotor starts to turn. 6 degrees means the timing set is completely worn out. Bruce
On a 78 you don't have to open it, just find the test connector opposite end from main connector. That is if you have the ECU I think, what is the BENDIX 161 xxxx number on your ECU? You could also apply vacuum to the ECU, and see that the voltage drops to a couple volts at high vac. Bruce
i will check the number and voltage.
I know for sure that it is already remanufacturated... with a blue tag.
I will take some pics tonight.
Guys sorry about the lack of updates and info, but my daughter was born on the may 27th, in a few days i will be able to follow thru.

Congratuations on your new addition. Have you named her yet?
next week i plan to start messing with the engine, will change the spark plugs, cables, oil, oil filter, air filter, TVS valve, clean injectors, change radiator fluids, check transmition oil, differential and last but not least, fix the vacuum lines.
after all this if still there is some problems i will mess with the ECU and etc...
i will keep everybody posted, i am dying to drive this car.
I will also change the brake booster, i received a re-manufactured one from A1 Cardone.
i got also the new trunk seal, and my trunk is full of parts, im just waiting for the air filter and oil filter which i purchased off ebay, the only way to receive it in Brasil.
If you remove the injectors, you will need new injector seals. Last original set I checked were completely shot, and a leak will result in a fire. good luck, Bruce Roe
ok bruce, i finally found some time, between the sleeps of my daughter...
I was able to run some tests, first, engine cold, ignition OFF, the test point measured a drop of -0.02, with the hose disconnected.
Then ignition ON, engine OFF, hose disconnected, test point showed a value of 1.80, i think my map sensor is bad...
3rd test, turn the car and disconnected the vacuum hose, no differencee at all on the way the engine runs...
Tried to press the fast idle valve and yes, the engine runs in a very low idle, but stalls when i step on the gas.
besides that, everything is the way i told before, starts with a very HIGH IDLE and stalling if i step on the gas pedal...
If i wait until engine is hot, the idle goes back to "normal" and i am able to drive the car without stalling....
if the engine is hot and i turn it off, i am not able to urn it back on...
sorry it took me sooo long to do the tests.

Did you know that most documentation software, including TKO and Microsoft Word, have a stylesheet system? A stylesheet enables you to consistently typeset all of your documents with just a few clicks or keystrokes.
Stylesheets have a double benefit:
As professional documentation writers, we always create a stylesheet before we start writing. This way our client only has to pay us for what we write. It already looks good before we start work!
You don't have to be a professional writer to use a stylesheet. All writers deserve to have them. TKO has a powerful stylesheet system. The Q-Template stylesheet includes styles for all text, paragraph and list types that you need for your operations manual. This project pack includes the stylesheet and we help you use it to best advantage.
When we went to create a demonstration, we suddenly remembered that all of our clients' documents are confidential, and so we didn't really have anything to use.
Instead, our Before and After demonstration has some handy business tips from people who provide documents free of charge. In the Before example we created it to look like documents we have seen that were not style-controlled. Then we applied the stylesheet to them for the After version.
We hope you enjoy reading the articles as well as viewing the amazing difference that our stylesheet service can make.
View the text BEFORE stylesheet service (Opens in a new tab or window)
View the text AFTER stylesheet service (Opens in a new tab or window)
We could decide to change the appearance. Since we now have a stylesheet, it takes only a few minutes to change it everywhere in the manual. View the text AFTER stylesheet service, with a different look (Opens in a new tab or window)

It would be Ihe lowest since J556. Through Thursday, Abilene had received slightly more than half, 6.79 inches, of ils expected 13 inches of rainfall. The last rain was .13 inch July 4. THE MOST dramatic drop came in the months of May and June, however.. May accumulation at .72 was the lowest since at T.03 Hie lowest since 1956. County: extension agent H.C.

Monday is also the day city water officials hope to begin full, automatic operation of Ihe transporting of 15.5 million gallons of water a day from Lake Ilubbard into the city's water supply.

I am sure this will not be put In the paper, but could you please tell me why The Abilene cosfs 15 cents in Abilene and 10 cents out (if town.

McCarty says that effeclive July 1 tlie He- .porter-News went up to 15 cents everywhere it's sold. He added that Ihe majority of newspapers in the United Stales are row selling for 15 cents and said that some are selling for 20 cents. At least one paper in California-is selling for 25 cents, he said. McCarty said the increase in cost is due lo the .increase in the cost of producing a newspaper. "It will jusf be a mailer of lime uiilil all newspapers will be 15 cents or more be- cause of the increased he said. Q. What is considered a standard size American flag? Is Ihe flag that Arrow Ford files oversized? If so is it disres- pectful? A. A master sergeant who leaches in the ROTC llardin-Simmons Uni- versity says there is no one standard size. He said many sizes are authorized and Ihe military itself has five sizes. The master sergeant said Ihe 20-foot by 30-foot flag at Arrow Ford is not disrespect- ful unless it were to be flown upside dowji.

Dean III, who once said his most difficult problem was "how I could end (his mess wilhout mortally wound- ing the faces ques- tioning in the impeachment proceedings he helped to initi- ate. II was Dean's Senate testi- mony a year ago linking pres- ident Nixon with the Water- gate cover-up Ural helped set the stage for Ihe current in- quiry by the House Judiciary Committee. His testimony now has been requested by James St. Clair, Nixon's impeachment defense lawyer, who wants lo examine him on the narrow issue of a payment he helped ar- range for Watergate conspira- tor E. Howard Hujil Jr. The former While House counsel played n leading role in all phases of Hie cover-up until he decided to tell his sto- ry to the Watergate prosecu- tors in April 1973, and he faces intensive questioning by com- inillee members. Today's session will be something of a homecoming for Dean, who served as a mi- nority counsel lo the Judiciary Committee for two years be- fore moving to the Justice De- parlinent early in the Nixon administration. "He was minority counsel of subcommittee Rep. Ed- ward Hutcliinson, R-JIich., now the ranking committee Republican, recalled Wednes- day. "I sat beside him and he did u good job." "I know him very Itcp. Charles K. "Wiggins, R-Calif., another senior COP member. "He is most compe- tent and I had no reason to question his integrity when lie was here." Dean pleaded guilty last Oc- tober lo conspiracy to obstruct justice and defraud the United Stales. His sentencing has been deferred and he has been cooperating witti the Water- gate proseculors. All SI. Clair wants Dean to lell the committee is how lie passed on Hunt's request for money to Frederick C. Laltuc, a former Nixon campaign aide who has testified that he deliv- ered lo Hunt's lawyer Ihe night of March 21, 1973. St. Clair hopes Dean will say he called Lallue that morning before a conversation with Nixon in which Hunt's money demands were dis- cussed.

Unless a shipper's bill of lading form provides for claimants to recover "administrative expenses" incurred in connection with filing claims, the claimant has no right to add a thin dime to its actual damages.
Colin Barrett, president, Barrett Transportation Consultants
Struggling with soft demand and growing competition from container, bulk and roll-on, roll-off carriers, the operators of multipurpose carriers with something special to sell will be the ones likely to survive.
Peter Tirschwell
Any further improvements to the U.S. container security regime need to embrace the principle of risk-assessment versus blanket physical inspection. All the latter will do is drive up cost, create supply chain delays and uncertainty and undermine competitiveness.
Mark Szakonyi
U.S. marine terminals' last-minute rallying around existing container weighing services, global operators' weighing services for those exporting outside the U.S. and a regulatory grace period made the rollout of International Maritime Organization's SOLAS akin to the much-feared but innocuous Y2K.

The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 regulations were published on April 6, and they have serious implications for brokers and freight forwarders.

An overcharge claim properly demands a refund of excessive money inadvertently paid out, not money that merely might have been paid had the shipper actually relied on the carrier's erroneous invoice.

Jeg Coughlin Jr. made some serious gains on the mountain at this year's 33rd annual Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals on Sunday in both the Pro Stock and Stock Eliminator classes.
In Pro Stock, Coughlin and the JEGS/Mopar Dodge Avenger lost a competitive race to Greg Anderson in the first round of eliminations. In Stock, Coughlin and his JEGS.com Dodge Challenger reached the semifinals before falling to Colorado native Stephen Hagberg.
Early in the day in the Pro Stock race, Anderson's car had a slight edge at the start and Coughlin didn't have quite enough power to catch up at the top end.
"It's a different breed up here at Bandimere Speedway as far as tune-ups and stuff go," Coughlin said. "We were just a couple of rounds behind. We did pick up. It was a much cleaner run and it felt like a much better run."
Coughlin crossed the line in 6.983 seconds at 196.99 mph, just behind Anderson, who crossed in 6.978 at 197.28 mph.
"There's still a lot of opportunity to get the car a lot more efficient," Coughlin said. "Greg put down a nice package as far as reaction time and ET, and it would have been tough to beat him anyway."
In Stock Eliminator, the JEGS.com Challenger picked up quite a bit every round as he made his way through three rounds of eliminations before matching up with Hagberg.
"We came up here from sea level and didn't change anything in that car but the rear gear," Coughlin said. "We were hoping we wouldn't run into anybody in our own class – and by that I mean it becomes just like Pro Stock, first one to the finish line is a winner.
"We made it through a couple of rounds and ran into a local who was really fast. We did all we could to get the car tuned up. When we started the weekend, we were .3 seconds off his pace and by the end of the weekend; we closed that up to less than a tenth of a second."
Both drivers had an identical 11.27 second dial-in and Coughlin enjoyed a solid advantage in reaction time. Hagberg wound up hitting the finish line first with a pass of 10.455 seconds at 126.91 mph with Coughlin crossing in 11.141 seconds at 96.94 mph.
Up next for Coughlin and the JEGS/Mopar Dodge Avenger is the July 27-29 NHRA Sonoma Nationals in Sonoma, Calif.
"Our last three races at sea level have been a lot stronger," Coughlin said. "We were in that top eight range with the rest of the pack. We're looking forward to picking it back up in Sonoma."

Members of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club were among 5 gangs involved in a shootout in Waco, Texas that left 9 dead and 18 injured.
Two other gangs, the Cossacks and the Scimitars, who appear to be aligned, were also involved in the shooting. The other two gangs haven't been identified.
Police said Monday morning that 170 people were arrested in connection with the shooting and will all face engaging in organized crime charges. The investigation is continuing.
Click here to see a list of the bikers who have been arrested.
The rivalry between the Cossacks and the Bandidos in Texas goes back to at least 2013.
According to the BigCountryHomePage.com, the president of the Abilene, Texas chapter of the Bandidos, Curtis Jack Lewis, was arrested in November 2013 on charges that he stabbed two members of the Cossacks during a fight outside a restaurant.

More than 170 people were arrested and held on $1 million bail after the shootout between rival gangs in Waco, Texas, that left 9 dead. See their mugshots here.Click here to read more
Here's what you need to know about the Bandidos:
1. The Bandidos Were Formed in Texas in 1966 & Spread Worldwide
The motorcycle club was founded in 1966 by Vietnam War veteran Donald Chambers in San Leon, Texas, according to one of its websites.
Chambers was convicted of murder six years after founding the gang.
The gang's motto is "we are the people our parents warned us about." It's patch is a man in sombrero with a machete and pistol.
It has spread to more than 100 chapters in the United States, and international chapters in Germany, Australia, Denmark, France, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Malaysia, Indoensia, Singapore, Costa Rica and Belgium.
There are more than 1,000 members in the United States.
The gang's main rival has historically been the Hell's Angels.
A gang expert told the Washington Post that the gang shootout parallels previous fights between the Bandidos and the Hells Angels, one of the world's largest biker gangs.
The expert, Kansas City-area police officer Steve Cook, said the feud started because the Cossacks, backed by the Angels, challenged the Bandidos for control of Texas. Other gangs joined the battle with the Cossacks because they were angry over recent killings by the Bandidos.
"My perception is that the Cossacks have been flirting, if you will, with Hell's Angels," Cook told the Post. "If I'm a Bandido, my immediate reaction is: 'These guys are going to try to make a move and bring an international gang into our state, which is going to cause a war.'"
Cook also told the Post:
The Bandidos already knew that the Cossacks weren't going to play ball, and when push came to shove and these guys weren't cooperating, all hell broke loose. You can tell by the number of weapons involved that these guys came looking for a fight. They were prepared.

2. The FBI Has Named Them as an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang
The FBI has named the Bandidos as an outlaw motorcycle gang.
The FBI says of the gang:
The Bandidos constitute a growing criminal threat to the U.S. Law enforcement authorities estimate that the Bandidos are one of the two largest OMGs operating in the U.S., with approximately 900 members belonging to 93 chapters. The Bandidos are involved in transporting and distributing cocaine and marijuana and are involved in the production, transportation and distribution of methamphetamine. The Bandidos are most active in the Pacific, Southeastern, Southwestern and the West Central regions of the U.S. The Bandidos are expanding in each of these regions by forming additional chapters and allowing members of supporting clubs, known as "puppet" or "duck" club members who have sworn allegiance to another club but who support and do the "dirty work" of a mother club – to form new or join existing Bandidos chapters.

3. The Gang Was Involved in the 'Great Nordic Biker War' With the Hells Angels in the 1990s
The Bandidos were involved with what has become known as the "Great Nordic Biker War" with rival Hell's Angels in Scandanavia from 1994 to 1997.
According to the website Gangsters Inc., the three-year war resulted in 11 murders and 74 attempted murders, with 96 people wounded.
The fighting included gun fights, car bombs and even an anti-tank missile fired at a prison cell holding a Bandidos member.

5. The Waco Shootout Was Called 'One of the Worst Gun Fights' in the City's History
One officer called the shootout between the rival gangs "one of the worst gun fights that we've had in the city limits of Waco."
Police told KXXV-TV that all of the victims were gang members who had gathered at the Twin Peaks restaurant. At least 18 others were, also all bikers, were injured. The extent of those injuries wasn't immediately released.
Sgt. Patrick Swanton said innocent bystanders and officers somehow managed to escape injury, including a restaurant full of families just feet away from the one where the shooting started.
"Let's just say it's Sunday and someone was looking out for us," Swanton said. "There were so many rounds fired from bad guy weapons here."
Police said there were at least 100 bikers at the scene and at least five gangs involved. Swanton said the argument started over a parking issue.
More than 100 weapons were recovered at the scene.
"We were in marked cars. They knew we were here, they knew that we've been here at their past events. And it mattered not to them," Swanton said at a news conference, which was posted online by KXXV. "That tells you the kind of level of people we're dealing with."
The police department's spokesman, Sgt. Patrick Swanton, was clear about who the bikers are after a reporter said one of the bikers claimed that they are clubs, not gangs.
"They are a biker gang. We know exactly who they are," Swanton said at a televised news conference. "A bunch of criminal element biker members that came to Waco and tried to instill violence into our community and unfortunately did just that."
"These are criminals on Harley-Davidsons," he said.

SAN ANTONIO (Chemicals Confidential)–The best jokes I remember from recent chemical industry conferences:
Andy Nicholson tiger joke
Two friends are out walking in the forest. Suddenly, one of them spots a tiger that looks both hungry and angry.
The other friend sits down, and puts on his running shoes. Seeing this, the first guy says, "Do you really think that these shoes will help you out-run the tiger?"
And his friend replies calmly "I don't have to out-run the tiger. I just have to out-run you."

Recorded at the time as suffering from an illness described by as "an acute congestion of the stomach and the brain"- historians now suspect that Keller was likely to have contracted scarlet fever or meningitis and it was this mystery illness that left the infant Keller deaf and blind for the rest of her life.
Perhaps the first sign that this young girl had the tenacity of spirit to become the remarkable woman who would make our history books- came when at the age of seven Keller developed and perfected over 60 home signs with which to communicate with her family.
It was at this time in Keller's childhood that her mother sent Helen to an ear, nose and throat specialist in Baltimore, who put the Keller family in touch with Alexander Graham bell, the renowned inventor of the telephone, who was also noted at the time for his work with deaf children.
It was Bell who advised Keller's parents to to contact The Perkins Institute For The Blind, where the school's director asked his former student Anne Sullivan, (herself visually impaired and only 20 years old), to become Keller's instructor. It was to be the beginning of a 49-year-long relationship of student and teacher and inevitable life long friends
Sullivan began to teach Helen to communicate by spelling words into her hand, beginning with "d-o-l-l" for the doll that she had brought Keller as a present. Keller was frustrated at first because she did not understand that every object had a word uniquely identifying it- subsequently Keller's breakthrough in communication came when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of "water"; she then nearly exhausted Sullivan demanding the names of all the other familiar objects in her world.
I am astounded by the amount of notable achievements in Keller's life, but some of the most impressive were in my eyes that she was one of the first deaf and blind people in history to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. Keller was also a prolific author and travelled the world as a respected lecturer and political activist.
In 1915 Keller founded the Helen Keller International (HKI) organization which is still going strong today preventing blindness and reducing malnutrition in over 22 countries around the world.
Keller was extremely outspoken in her opposition of war and was a member of The Socialist Party of America. Keller also campaigned tirelessly for women's suffrage, worker's rights and socialism, along with numerous other causes.
Closest to my heart is Helen Keller's reputation as being an advocate for people with disabilities.
Like many people with disabilities, Keller found comfort and companionship in canines, particularly in the Akita breed and was even given her dog Kenzan-go as an official gift from the Japanese government in July 1938. Keller is credited with having introduced the Akita to the United States.
In 1961 at the grand age of 81, Keller suffered a stroke and spent the last years of her life at her home, where she died in her sleep in 1968.
In 1964 President Lyndon Johnson awarded Keller with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the United States' two highest civilian honors. In 1965 she was elected to the National Hall of Women's Wall of Fame.

I'm off to Amazon to find ebooks on Helen Keller for my Kindle. Until tomorrow...
'Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.'
'Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.'

And everybody's thinking is this -- for the patriots. You know they finally. You -- have reached at the end of the year you know. There's that to me I kinda look at that and I say you know you're you're never. Going to be discussing in September and December. So you know Tom Brady has a chance. To see that. It can broke pumpkins can turn the right way you know on a pastor tidbit. There in Dobson. You know gets the point about. If he's gonna run a twelve yard -- it's got to be twelve not eleven and a half for thirteen. I'm sure those are the problems that are happening right now and yeah he's just he just have to go by history. And there are two things from the patriots favor number one. Belichick and Brady have been a winning combination. Over the last twelve years. And number 1013 years really quote twelve seasons I guess it's that. And two. The AFC east as usual stinks and it's stinks out loud. So that's what they are fortunate to be him -- and they're fortunate that the best of the three teams. Miami. There have to play right now because -- -- person I think would really. Would really. To get to Brady really hurt. You know pretty we -- this in 2006. Right when -- went to number you restructure his deal and then -- -- receive a call was -- was and they gave us some weapons falling year you restructure his deal necessarily any effort to set the ball maybe they can improve defensively that's pretty much Tommy Kelly and Danny Amendola Grammy for the most part and frank maybe other piece that they've brought back. Where's the frustration off we saw frustration last night Tom Brady but. At a match you be looking Dakota can't believe we're back doing this again seven years later. Well what you have to think about now is especially. Look at it this is not a second guess it was the first yes I wrote that the time this is a bad decision on the patriots part to let to let Wes Welker go. And it was in March it is in September. Wes Welker games missed over the last -- since the start -- 20110. The -- Amendola 21 and counting. Just you know and again. Part of being good players showing up in being here we all know that and even -- for what ever reason. Who is currently one of the great already murky performances I think. On Sunday evening when we need -- you don't start grabbing his upper leg. In the end zone in buffalo the other day in the second quarter so let's -- -- he's gone for six weeks. Andy showed up in the second half and I think it is seven ball at this. Fantastic. Very you know -- courageous performance. By me and they'll let. You know again the human body can only take so much any Amendola evidently is one of those guys who's. Body fight back because it's certainly has in the last year for years. And as a follow up to that the Welker part of this Peter have you gotten any more clarification on how that went down in terms of that negotiation and it fell apart 'cause of the patriots was it Welker zapping clarified since the season's guns are. Think that I think it remains murky and I think all sides wanted to remain murky but I think that. Welker just thought that the offer that he was given. Was not. Commensurate with what -- contributed to the patriots. He pushed the envelope push the envelope push the envelope patriots say we're not going any further and and patriots and started negotiating with the Amendola and and the you know John -- steps and then -- get -- gift. And look at other league through a thing on Monday night Chip Kelly and bill that that offense that I think. Was impressive for the Hong a lot of activity was very question that you didn't think that chip goes office would -- who were you surprised by that. No not really Lou because I think one of the things that you heard from people who he's played it against over the years is that. You know. First of all I think it's it's been a misnomer and been misunderstood over the years that. You know this is going to be. You know you're going to be thrown for 350 yards 400 yards every week. The last two years in Oregon he I have -- 64%. Runs. And so Chip Kelly want to. To run the ball and he saw that on Monday night. -- you know he's so what Shawn McCoy run run run into some Michael quickly the target I think the big test of it Lou is going to be. It's going to be you know how how much punishment really. That that Michael Vick can take because. He saw him in discount somebody -- they entered the game is at 33 year old quarterback and exit it is a 49 year old man. You know he -- will walk like Walter Brennan at the end of the game. So. I doubt he can take that level punishment for sixteen games also. Up Peter it's a circle back to the jets for a second you surprised that Mark Sanchez is telling people he's not going to get. Surgery is gonna try to rehab that thing to do surgery after the year. I mean. You know the only way the only. And that that must have happened when he saw. You know when he saw that doctors. Who you saw. Is that they -- told them that if you rehab for the next month or so you should be able to play you're gonna have some pain which should be able to play. Forget there's two or three quarter -- just read this last night. Stewart three quarterbacks who played with that injury. And you know played with a partial tear and so I think it it probably -- some pain tolerance. And and that is the idiotic things that I guess is it happened and I have not spoken to. -- -- -- generating critical column about this but just from. You know what's been said. It seems clear that. It's Sanchez believes that the time after surgery will not prevent it from being ready for training camp for somebody. But the difficult things here is. -- let's say he does it this way. -- you know what happens then is that house any pain and in no way it'd pay any money at all to bring him. He'd probably just gonna have to go on veteran's minimum contract. Let me let's see -- the Minnesota Vikings. And it is generating -- to -- don't throw the ball well until late July. Hurry hurry and account Christian Ponder for that job if indeed that's what happened. So aid it seems like an odd choice to me. But he's got to have some doctors saying that all you could definitely played by the middle of October with the shoulder. It also seems it just takes a drama out of the jets right because. Nobody thinks that team is gonna go to the playoffs and if its Huckabee Mark Sanchez then why not see what geno Smith I didn't do. I think I agree totally and I think that's probably what they're gonna do but also tell you this -- that. Rex Ryan who is going to decide -- police quarterback there. If he knows me afloat three interceptions up a fourth quarter. Rex Ryan it is it's easy to sit here and say they're not going anywhere -- Tina Smith. But you also have to say eight to 52 weather guys in the locker room to eighteen coaches and you don't get everybody in your organization. I know we're not playing the best guy able were playing for the future teams don't generally do that I can tell you. Rex Ryan absolutely categorically won't do that if he thinks the best chance to beat. These let's say the dolphins on November 8 or -- is they claim to replace Sanchez. -- back -- that they -- one and nine and -- -- -- -- helped tank the season and played kid he could try to win every detainee camp. These guys got a great on Sunday night Seahawks and 49ers were the one of the best robberies in football cannot wait. To sit down -- watch that look forward to your game plan column later today and Monday Morning Quarterback we'll talk the next product. A lot of Peter -- Sports Illustrated the Monday Morning Quarterback joining us our conversation Peter King as always sponsored. By our friends at town fair tire that is the Sunday night game without the patriots are looking at what games -- -- watching Manning Brothers. Letting -- each other late afternoon you get that Sunday night game Seattle. And you get the 49ers that's up against Red Sox -- yankees another -- this weekend.

Free-speech advocates are crying foul after a UC San Diego student government official's decision to freeze funding for 33 campus media outlets after one organization aired an offensive commentary about a controversial student party.
The move represents more fallout from the "Compton Cookout" – a party organized and attended by some UCSD fraternity members that mocked black culture and created a firestorm on campus.
As university officials were trying to deal with the reaction to the party, the student-run humor publication the Koala aired a video segment on Thursday "calling black students ungrateful and using a derogatory term for blacks," the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
(I couldn't find a good quality clip of the controversial broadcast. I can't make out the dialogue on this You Tube clip, but maybe you can.)
On The Koala's Web site, a Feb. 20 update features a "statement" about the controversial party: "The Koala would like to condemn the organizers of the Compton Cookout. If history has shown us anything, you need more black people at your party to have enough black-on-black violence to actually justify the name "Compton." Shame on you. SHAME."
The Koala has built something of a reputation for offending people. The group once aired students having sex on campus television and recently released an issue titled "Night of the Horny Asians," complete with a rape-themed drinking game.
Students voice concerns to UCSD Chancellor
Marye Anne Fox during a protest on Feb. 19
In response to Thursday's broadcast, UCSD Associated Students President Utsav Gupta immediately shut down the campus television station and froze funding for all media outlets funded by student fees, in part to review the policies by which these organizations receive money.
"We must develop effective policies to ensure that our fees do not go to the support the hateful speech that targets members of our community," Gupta wrote.
That spawned a Facebook group called "Tell AS: Mass Censorship is NOT the Answer," which has 1,125 members so far. There's also a less populated "UCSD Students Against Koala" group.
And the folks at the local office of the American Civil Liberties Union, not to mention the people at FIRE, the national non-profit Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, weren't too happy about the way UCSD has reacted to offensive speech.
A spokeswoman for the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties said the organization is still working on a letter regarding the student government president's decision to freeze media funding. Meanwhile, the organization has sent two letters to UCSD.
In yesterday's letter, David Blair-Loy, the organization's legal director, reviewed the contents of the university's new Web site: battlehate.ucsd.edu. He wrote that the university was bowing to political pressure by threatening of possible expulsions based on protected speech.
In a separate letter to UCSD administrators, Adam Kissel of FIRE, wrote that the university and Associated Students have an obligation to distribute student funds to student organizations in a viewpoint-neutral manner and may not make funding or de-funding decisions on the basis of content or viewpoint:
"In acting arbitrarily and on the basis of content concerns, Mr. Gupta has demonstrated an alarming misunderstanding of the university's obligation to uphold the First Amendment when distributing funds to student organizations," Kissel wrote.
UCSD's Associated Students allocate funding each quarter to more than 30 media outlets on campus, the Union-Tribune reports. A Feb. 20 e-mail to the affected organizations said that all winter funds were frozen and no spring funds would be allocated until further notice, according to the FIRE letter to UCSD.
Fourteen media outlets got more than $25,000 in winter quarter, including the conservative newspaper the California Review, the fashion magazine Fashion Quarterly, the newsletter the Progressive, and others.

Sharks Get Clawed By Seawolves Volleyball Team
(This article was written by students from the newspaper club at Middle School 323)
The tension of this volleyball game was no match for the confidence of the Scholars' Academy Seawolves and their fans. The atmosphere was familiar, since the Sharks had been there before. But at this championship game the Sharks came to bring fierce competition towards their rivals.
The Sharks served first, spiking a few points on the board, and showing impressive improvement from the last time. Getting up from their stumble, the Seawolves came back with a few points of their own. The Seawolves were able to overcome their early disadvantage and win the first game 25- 22. The next two games were also victories for the Seawolves, but the Sharks were putting up ever intense resistance. At times the Sharks owned the court, but the Seawolves were able to work together and put more points on the board.
Taking the last two games, the Scholars' Academy Volleyball team celebrated an exciting victory. After the game, a few members of the newspaper team interviewed some players and coaches. Ms. Khouri stated,
"Each player has a unique skill, and each member of the team complements each other on the court." In an interview with Mr. Stavola, the Sharks head coach, he stated that, "Two great teams played today."
Afterward, Sharks and Seawolves alike shed their competitive edges to join together in the Scholars' Academy dining room for a community- building lunch. Who knew pizza and ice-cream could bring such intense competitors together in peace and harmony.
The two teams learned so much about healthy competition and each other, it may be hard to compete with an "edge" in the future.
The players from the Sharks held no grudge against players of the Seawolves. The students enjoyed their lunches, talking and laughing with each other. Two great teams played today and they are already looking forward to next year!

Lessons From Internet Marketing HTML version
a short foreword
I don't mean to sound like a drama mama, but my life has been absolutely transformed ever
since I found internet marketing.
And it's not just about the financial benefits, although that is one of the most desirable
outcomes, for sure.
Well, 25th June is 2007 is my 23rd birthay, and I was planning to release my first WSO in the
Warrior Forum, with the proceeds as a gift to myself!
I brainstormed for a long time, and considered the various things I could write about.
And then it just struck me.
On a significant day such as my birthday, what in the world am I doing, trying to earn a gift
for myself amongst a community that has played such a vital role in my growth?
I then remembered reading this post about sharing information with each other amongst
internet marketers, and then using the knowledge gained, to go out and conquer other
markets, instead of fighting amongst ourselves. I like the way it sounds.
That's it.
There are still so many struggling internet marketers out there, just like myself months ago,
struggling to make some decent income from the internet.
Instead of trying to earn a monetary gift for myself, I've decided to do something different;
from there, this report was born.
It's time to give back.

Where I stayed
Jere and Arja's house
After the grocery store (the same one we were trying to get to the day before when i injured my knee lol) we walked over to the train station and paid 4 Euros each to get on. We met Jere at one of the stops and continued on to Espo; which is where the nature reserve is. Of course the train was late so when we arrived at our stop we had to run to catch our next bus which would take us the rest of the way
We were quite surprised at how far the city bus went into the woods. This nature reserve was pretty much located 30 min into the woods on a dirt road. It was awesome that the bus took us out there! Usually in Canada you'd have to take a truck. But even the dirt roads here are amazingly well kept. Jere told us that they pour sand and water or something on the dirt roads and pack it to make it smooth. I took a picture of their highways because it looks so fresh and new, but its not! It's just a good road. It's amazing that this is something I would take a picture of. But that's Sudbury for ya lol Anyways, we got off and started walking. The reserve was quite beautiful, but it looked exactly the same as Canada. Everything was the same, the pine trees, the birch trees, the ducks, the weeds...the misquotes. Actually, there weren't that many misquotes until midnight, but they were the same lol
We walked up and down hills, to a lake, saw a family of ducks, mushed our feet around in squishy ground and ate our Karjalanpiirakka's before we decided to find a nice spot to have a fire. I thought we would simply find a place in the bush, but this park had designated spots made for you
When dinner time came (finally!) it was time to try the new foods. The cheese we ate was quite rubbery and tasted like a mild mozzarella, but with the cloud berry jam on top was quite delicious. Steve and I both liked the potatoe Karjalanpiirakka better than the carrot. In case you don't know what a Karjalanpiirakka is, it's a really popular Finish snack food. Not potatoe chips or chocoalte. But a very thin circular pastry type bread filled with various mushed up dinner foods. They have carrot, potatoe, egg and butter and many other fillings that I don't know about. Jere liked to put very weird things on top of his
We were all pretty full after our huge meal and decided to head back after Jere took another swim. In total we were out for 12 hours by the time we got home. Quite a long day. Especially when you are supposed to get up early the next day to hitch hike to Turku, Finland.

Begun by Ian and Ellen Wilkes Irmisch as a tribute to their late father, the Tartan Terrors brought together Two-Time World Champion Bagpipers, internationally acclaimed musicians and comedians, and high paced championship caliber highland dancers to create a show that has brought standing room only audiences to every venue they have ever booked. Genieve Williams, Earth Tones Magazine, shouts from the rooftops "...the Tartan Terrors are the kind of group best experienced live..." And it is this penache for rousing audiences of all ages into a fevered frenzy of excitment that have propelled the Terrors into forefront of Celtic Music.
Recently honored with a request to appear on a tribute CD to the late John Allan Cameron, along with Natalie McMaster and Great Big Sea, the muscians of the Tartan Terrors continue to be driven by a desire to push the envelope in Celtic Music. By bringing together innovative music, dance and comedy the Tartan Terrors look to give their audiences a high paced experience that appeals to college audiences and seasoned music appreciators.
The Tartan Terrors are also steeped with a tradition of giving back to the community and have raised over $200,000 for charities within North America. A cause close to their heart is Breast Cancer Research, and with a portion of all their CD sales going to this worthy fight, they are truly part of every community they perform in.
Influenced by great traditional musicians and rock and roll favorites, top precision dancers from all over the world, and vaudeville style comedy they aren't just another band.

The suit was made public back in March but seems to have just hit the media today. The story, as told on the geocoder.ca website:
Since 2004 we have crowdsourced* the generation of the "Canadian Postal Code Geocoded Database." When you make a query to geocoder containing for example this information "1435 Prince of Wales, Ottawa, ON K2C 1N5", we then extract the postal code "K2C 1N5" and insert it into the database that you may download for free on this website.
This allows you to look up a postal code (eg K2C 1N5) on www.geocoder.ca, or www.openstreetmap.org or a number of other sites that use geocoder.ca data and technology.
Since we do not have a postal code dataset from the authority on postal code assignments, namely "Canada Post", we derive and guess this information sometimes with pretty good accuracy results.
Now "Canada Post" has sued "Geocoder.ca" in Federal Court, asking "Geocoder.ca" to take this database down from this website, and also to "pay Canada Post" damages on lost business the later has suffered by not selling enough copies of their own postal code file (last time I checked at $5,000CAD a piece).
A defense fund has been set up and already has several hundred dollars. The Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) is representing geocoder.ca in federal court.

So did you see the video of the cursing infant?
The video shows a young, black boy about 2 years old in a diaper standing next to a chair that has been knocked down.
Then you hear three adults off camera cursing at the toddler and the little boy cursing right back at them. The child even responds to some of the comments with an middle finger and telling one of the adults at one point to" "Shut up, bitch."
The adults are laughing, which causes the behavior to continue for another minute and these dummies taped the entire thing.
If this video was posted on one of the urban websites like worldstarhiphop.com, bossip.com or ilp.com, the comments would have turned racial immediately.
It's the world we live in.
This video is different because the police union in Omaha, Neb. posted the clip on its website to highlight what it called the "cycle of violence and thuggery" the community faces.
Now, the Omaha Police Officers' Association is under fire from the city's police chief, the American Civil Liberties Union and community leaders, who are calling the video racist.
The video is disturbing and sad, but it's not racist. Let me first say that the child is the victim. He is a product of a messed up situation. There is a saying you can't pick your family. Unfortunately for this toddler, he probably curses better than he can count. If this child is cursing like this now, imagine him when he starts school? The teachers won't be able to do anything with him.
The blame should focus on the knucklehead cursing at a child and for them this is entertainment.
While there may not be anything blatantly illegal in the video, we can safely assume that this is not a healthy or productive to this kid's upbringing.
The child isn't old enough to really know what's going on and the adults are too stupid to understand that they are messing this kid up and setting him up for failure.
Could the officers had handled this situation in a different way? Yes. They could have kept this information to themselves, but in the era of full disclosure the public needs to know what they face and come across on a daily basis.
Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn said police are the first ones to deal with all the mess in life. Police keep the peace, catch the bad guys and too often they have to deal with situations like the one in Omaha.
Our attention should be on the child and making sure that this kid grows up healthy. Turning the attention toward the police in a case like this seems backward and it ignores a much larger problem that many don't want to face.
- Eric Von suffered a heart attack
- Why was this kid released?
- Documentary on poorest ZIP code needed more
- Why don't we speak to each other?
- Man arrested in connection with fatal crash
- Things looking bad for America's Favorite Dad
- Another racist cartoon of the first lady
- Mikel Holt Scholarship Fund
- My weekend feel good story
- I'm excited about Black Panther
