The Maine Republican Party is an affiliate of the United States Republican Party (GOP) in Maine. It was founded in Strong, Maine on August 7, 1854.
The Maine GOP is noted for its historically strong state College Republican federation.[citation needed] Other affiliate groups include the Maine Federation of Republican Women and the Maine Federation of Young Republicans.
The Republican Party formed in Maine in 1854 due to Prohibition and the abolitionist movement. Hannibal Hamlin left the Democratic Party because of the slavery issue and helped form the Republican Party. He was the state's first Republican governor. In 1860, he became the first Republican Vice President after Abraham Lincoln won the presidency.
From the 1860s until 1900, James G. Blaine rose as a dominant Republican figure. He was the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, a U.S. Senator, and Secretary of State for three Republican administrations. He ran for President in 1884 but lost to Grover Cleveland. In the late 1800s, Thomas B. Reed served in the House of Representatives for three terms. He started many reforms and was sometimes referred to as "Czar Reed". "Reed's Rules of Order" are still used in Maine Legislatures.
Except for rare lapses, the Republicans dominated Maine politics until 1954, when young progressives from the Democratic Party gained strength.[1][dead link]
Margaret Chase Smith was the first American woman elected to serve in both houses of Congress (elected to the House of Representatives in 1940 and the Senate in 1948). In 1964, she was placed in the nomination for presidency at the Republican National Convention.[1]
On August 19, 2013, the resignation of seven members of the State Committee, viewed as libertarian and conservative, was announced along with their unenrollment from the Party. Those who resigned cited numerous grievances with the Party at both the state and national levels, including Party rule changes, support from Congressional Republicans of National Security Agency surveillance programs, and the failure of Legislative Republicans to block tax increases in the recently passed State budget.[2]
The Maine Republican Party controls the governor's office. It holds a majority in the Maine Senate, and a minority in the Maine House of Representatives. It also holds one of the state's U.S. Senate seats and one of the state's U.S. House seats.
The Maine Republican Party caused a stir during its 2010 convention when the historically moderate party passed a constitutionally conservative platform supported by "Tea Party" activists. The new platform calls for the elimination of the United States Department of Education and the Federal Reserve System, the rejection of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (because it would give foreign entities control over U.S. citizens), a freeze and prohibition on stimulus spending, and the prosecution of perpetrators of the "global warming myth". It also demands a "return to the principles of Austrian Economics", and the assertion that healthcare is "not a right" but "a service" that can be addressed only by using "market based solutions". Indeed, the platform says, "The principles upon which the Republican Party was founded, to which we as Citizens seek return, and to which we demand our elected representatives abide, are summarized as follows:[5][6]
During the 2012 Maine caucuses, the Maine Republican Party received heavy criticism for mistakes and omissions in voter tallies.[7] The Waldo County GOP Committee called for a censure of Chairman Charlie Webster for his handling of the controversy.[8]

Indian police have filed charges against the Karmapa, an exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, after allegedly seizing nearly £900,000 ($1.4m) from his monastery.
The charges were filed by police in a district court against 10 people including the Karmapa and relate to lesser amount seized from a car in January that police allege was destined for a land transaction.
"Today the charge sheet has been put in court," said police superintendent Sumedha Dwivedi, adding that police planned to file further charges related to seized foreign currency. The court will decide whether to proceed to trial.
The Karmapa is revered by Tibetan Buddhists as the 17th reincarnation of a 900-year-old spirit and is regarded by some as the likely successor to the Dalai Lama.
Police accuse the Karmapa of criminal conspiracy. A district court in the state of Himachal Pradesh where exiled Tibetans including the Dalai Lama are based will decide whether the charges have merit.
"As chairman of the trust he must have knowledge of everything that is going on, that is why he has been included in this," Dwivedi said.
The 26-year-old Karmapa has fought off suggestions by India's media that he is a Chinese spy since police found the cash, including some Chinese yuan.
His office denies wrongdoing and says the money comes from the thousands of often wealthy followers who have visited the Karmapa every year since he arrived in India.
The Karmapa is close to the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, and both men strongly deny he works for China, which has also rejected the accusation.
After the Dalai Lama, the Karmapa – whose is also known as Ogyen Thinley Dorje – is the most eminent lama to have fled Chinese rule of Tibet. He escaped across the Himalayas in 2000 but remains recognised by Beijing as the 17th incarnation of his spiritual lineage. He says he does not want a larger leadership role. There is also one other claimant to the title of 17th Karmapa.
The Karmapa's lawyer, Narender Pal Singh, said he had not yet received any formal notice or copy of the charge sheet.
The Karmapa's office has previously said he does not involve himself in the financial affairs of his religious order.
The Indian government was aware of the cash, his office has said, but officials had not issued the correct paperwork to exchange it for rupees.

The library is more than just a quiet place to study—it's also a place where groups can meet to gather information, share resources, and work collaboratively. Information technology has not only revolutionized the way libraries deliver services, it has also transformed the study spaces where students get together to learn and work on projects.
The PSU Library and Office of Information Technology (OIT) have a long history of coming together to transform traditional study environments, equip them with new technology, and create spaces that facilitate knowledge exchange and promote active learning. The latest such collaborative project is the renovation of three basement study rooms: Millar 90, Millar 96, and Millar 2.
These rooms will be furnished with the Extron Teamwork system (which is similar to the media:scape system already available on the library's second floor). Students will be able to mirror their own devices on a shared, large-screen display, or use the room's built-in computer, which will be equipped with all the software currently available on the library lab computers. This means that students don't have to supply their own computer, or they can work with multiple computers at once, each taking turn to share their desktops on the large screen. This form of collaboration will be particularly useful for students working together on group projects where content from different devices needs to be shared by the group. The shared display in Millar 90 and Millar 96 will support six separate devices, and Millar 2 will support four.
Work on the transformation has already begun, and all three rooms are expected to be available by end of February. Students will be able to reserve the rooms using the library's online reservation system.

January 17, 2013. Los Angeles, California.
―Nostradamus was most certainly not a prophet,‖ intoned UCLA Philosophy and
Anthropology Professor John Morse, scolding his debate opponent across the stage. ―The
best that can be said about him is that he accidentally cured some very sick people during
his lifetime. The worst that can be said about him is that he was a charlatan, snake oil
salesman, and a liar, and the great weight of the historical evidence points toward
viewing him in an extremely negative light. But whatever he was, he was not, as you
say, ‗the greatest seer whoever lived,' and I challenge you to come up with any facts—as
opposed to after-the-fact rationalizations--to prove it.‖
John Morse was quite at ease in front of the lectern, and, in his own mind anyway,
was badly beating Los Angeles best-selling author Erika G. Flynn in their debate entitled
―Nostradamus: Prophet or Quack?‖ which was televised over Time Warner's local
interest television channel in Los Angeles. It was astounding to Morse that this woman's
books on Nostradamus garnered fifty times the sales of his own books on the subject.
She simply had no compelling facts to support any of her wild assertions, yet the
audience seemed to hang on her every word. Listening to her tell it, Nostradamus
predicted the French Revolution, Hitler's atrocities, Saddam Hussein, 9-11, Osama Bin
Laden, the election of Barak Obama, global warming, and the death of Michael Jackson.
Yet ask her to predict any specific future global event based upon the sixteenth century
figure's Propheties, and Flynn suddenly became very short on details.
Morse knew his stuff. He had read over two dozen scholarly books on Nostradamus
(many of them in their original French), and had visited Nostradamus' birthplace in St.-
Remy-de-Provence, his home in Agen where he met his first wife, and his home in Salon-
de-Provence where he had gone on to write his famous ―quatrains,‖ or four-line verses.
Nostradamus organized his prophetic quatrains into ten groups, or ―centuries.‖ Each
―century‖ had 100 quatrains. However, the seventh Century only had 42 quatrains. The
missing 58 quatrains from Century VII were either never written or were lost by the
publisher. Morse had poured over handwritten manuscripts attributed to the seer, as well
as letters written by Nostradamus' son Cesar. And he had been called upon from time to
time to authenticate centuries-old French artifacts believed to have been once possessed
by the psychic. Morse was fairly well-versed in astrology and was familiar with the
ancient astrological texts which had been used by Nostradamus in the sixteenth century.
But after over a decade of research, Morse became quite convinced that there simply was
nothing of substance to Nostradamus, and that the seer had managed to somehow
hoodwink centuries of followers concerning his so-called psychic gifts. To Morse,
Nostradamus was a fraud.
Morse had become interested in Nostradamus and other psychics about eleven years
ago, just after his wife Lola died. Now there was a person who should be remembered
through the ages. Lola was like a perfect day—when the sky is blue and the breeze is
cool and every traffic light turns green and an unexpected check arrives in the mail.
When he woke up next to Lola each day, Morse felt flabbergasted at his luck. She was
incredibly beautiful, way above him in the looks department. He had met her on a trip to
Peru. He had planned to visit Machu Picchu with a group of other professors and some

Mazda's plan to milk every last ounce of potential from the internal combustion engine rather than jumping, both feet, into the unknown of EVs and hybrids is proving to be quite a clever move.
Last year, we named the crossover SUV CX-5, in diesel form, as Driven's Car of the Year. The reason was the clever engine, chassis changes and other engineering feats that had served to make it one of the cleanest, most economical and efficient soft-roaders on the market.
Now Mazda has launched the ground-up redesign of its highly popular Mazda6, and has somehow made a bigger car that's better to drive, uses less gas, has a much nicer interior, looks better and will, in all likelihood, sell more.
The sweeping changes that Mazda's flagship four-door has undergone are part of SkyActiv, the result of a hugely ambitious edict from Mazda's CEO Takashi Yamanouchi that the overall efficiency of the company's products is increased by up to 30 per cent.
This meant developing new design and engineering techniques to make for lighter chassis and bodywork, developing new transmissions and rethinking what was taken as gospel by engine builders - reinventing the wheel, basically.
While Mazda isn't completely shying away from the electric and hybrid world (there's an EV model of the Mazda2 available in Japan), its R&D included some outside the box thinking on power regeneration systems. The SkyActiv project is starting to come to fruition, with the CX-5 the first vehicle to contain a full suite of SkyActivated systems. Mazda6 is next in line, and the upcoming Mazda3 will also benefit.
Driven went to last year's Paris Motor Show to see the Mazda6 sedan and wagon unveiled, and then had a chance to drive several models on mostly rural roads and highways in the green belt outside the capital. The cars were impressive even then, although still not final production-spec vehicles. Mazda's engineers and designers were quick to swoop on motoring writers departing vehicles after these test sessions, eager to gain insight on everything from centre console design to the car's handling and engine characteristics. Their notes were comprehensive - every tiny detail was on their radar and there was an overwhelming sense that they were desperate to fill Yamanouchi's requirement and make a significantly better car than its already able predecessor.
But driving in Europe is delightfully bereft of the boulder-size coarse chip that punctuates New Zealand's motoring fun with shudders, excessive road noise and disparaging comments from overseas visitors. So it was nice to get behind the wheel - thankfully on the right side of the car this time - and try both the sedan and wagon, in a variety of specifications and engine types, on local roads.
The drive programme started with a run down Auckland's Southern Motorway to Hampton Downs. At the track there was the opportunity to try things that are generally frowned upon when attempted on public roads - high-speed slaloms, some time on the skidpan and a few rapid laps.
The slalom showed what we already knew - changes to the suspension geometry for the new, larger, vehicle gave it a far more positive turn in, and improvements to the chassis meant it could easily handle quick changes of direction without too much drama. We did learn that the handbrake is still the quickest way to get around the final cone on a slalom course. The reason this warrants a mention is for the benefit of fleet managers, so that the reps and managers that get the new models won't need to try it themselves (insert Tui billboard here).
Getting out on the wet skidpan was extremely revealing - despite LHD vehicles and language barriers, the Paris launch didn't offer much in the way of emergency braking or radical loss of control. Mazda's dynamic traction control systems, once the front end lost grip, provided a surprisingly seamless rescue package, rebalancing the car quickly and without any real indication that it was stopping something horrible happening. Regaining full control of a traction-free front wheel drive car is as good as it gets - and didn't wait for clumsy attempts to adjust accelerator and brake inputs from the driver, just intervening without any fuss and getting on with things very safely.
After leaving Hampton Downs, a long drive through the Waikato and Bay of Plenty offered some experience of real Kiwi roads - the good, the bad and the horrific. The drive route included a run over the Kaimai Range with its long, off-camber corners, slow trucks, and steep winding descent. Can Mazda's new SkyActiv showpiece handle what New Zealand has to offer? Yes, without doubt, and significantly better than the last model did.
Even minor changes, like a slight change in accelerator pressure that triggers hard downchanges from the six-speed auto, have had a huge effect. The last version was quite random in how the transmission reacted, and at times felt uncomfortably squirmy off the line or when coming out of corners, with the front end hard to predict on bad roads.
Mazda New Zealand boss Andrew Clearwater is very clear about his goals for the new 6 - increasing market share, taking it not only from the medium car segment but tempting those usually shopping in the big car aisle or for SUVs as well.
The specification level is extremely high, with radar cruise control, Bose stereo systems, Bluetooth friendliness and safety features like pedestrian protection zones, collision avoidance and blindspot monitoring, depending on the model. We're getting two petrol engines - a two-litre and a very willing 2.5 as well as the 2.2 diesel that was fitted to the CX-5 car of the year.
Wagon and petrol versions are on sale here from April 1, although dealer stock has started arriving. The spec levels go from the base model 2.5 petrol GSX sedan, from $49,795, running through to the 2.2 diesel wagon in Limited spec at $60,795.
While the new 2.5 litre petrol version is an excellent drive, I'll stick with the diesel version that was my pick after the early drive last year. It's a great engine that revs over 5000rpm, taking away the mental block that comes with diesel mills that force a change at 3500rpm. Add to this the fuel economy that saw under 5L/100km for much of the two-day launch, and only peeked over the 7L mark after really pushing it.
The Mazda6 not only carries on the good work of the CX-5, but marks a seachange in what we can expect from the company as SkyActiv continues to evolve and improve on internal combustion.
Loopy? It actually works
In this era of envirocred, not making a regenerative braking system available is like heading into the rainforest with an axe.
Mazda's new system is very different to the average brake energy recovery approach.
Traditional systems feed charge back into the car's battery in a slow trickle that doesn't match the jabs on the brakes that come with city driving. i-ELOOP uses a high-tech
capacitor which accepts charge instantly, puts it through a converter under the passenger seat and then feeds that power to the accessories.
Think of it like a bucket full of water, that's filled and emptied all the time, and quickly rather than slowly filling up a big vessel and then slowly emptying to power the vehicle's drive. So headlights, air-con and the nice Bose audio system will all get bonus power, regained from driving normally, via a clever proprietary high-duty 120-farad capacitor that is built into the front bumper. It fits neatly into the ambitious SkyActiv line-up and while i-ELOOP may sound like something that an archaic internet browser might do to wind you up, it is genuinely clever stuff.

Yesterday, President Obama said he wanted to extend FBI director Bob Mueller's term for another two years, on top of the 10 Mueller has already served. It's not only the first time since Hoover that a Bureau director has been asked to stay on. It makes Mueller the only major public official to have kept his job through the entire "War on Terror" era.
Mueller remains largely unknown to the general public. He doesn't give many interviews to the press, and even some of the people who have worked with him for years say they don't know him particularly well.
Washingtonian magazine editor Garret Graff is the exception. He has interviewed Mueller at least a half-dozen times, and spent more than a thousand hours speaking to the director, his top aides and 180 current and former officials at the FBI, White House, Justice Department, CIA, NYPD and the Pentagon. These interviews form the heart of Graff's new book, The Threat Matrix: The FBI at War in the Age of Global Terror.
We talked to Graff about the director's longevity, Osama bin Laden's thumb drives, the Bureau's allergy to technology and the lamest ultimatum by a wannabe terrorist ever.
Wired.com: How has Mueller been able to hang on?
Garrett Graff: Mueller last year became the longest-serving FBI director since J. Edgar Hoover himself and, with this proposed extension by President Obama, will clearly be the most influential director since, as well. There have been five FBI directors since Hoover but Mueller was set to be the first to reach the full 10-year term limit — two directors quit early, one was fired and one was appointed director of the CIA.
What's particularly impressive about Mueller's accomplishment is that the job has never been harder than it is today — it's 24/7 in a way that the job never was under Mueller's predecessors, with enormous pressures from both U.S. security threats and geopolitical pressures overseas.
I think this is going to be a Cal Ripken-like record, one that we've never seen before in modern history and one we're unlikely to ever see again. Mueller just happened to have a unique constitution — an enormous reserve of physical stamina, the right set of political skills for an apolitical job, and the right mix of management skills necessary to lead and transform an agency in the midst of tremendous pressure.
Wired.com: News reports say that the FBI is part of the team that's scouring the discs and drives taken from the bin Laden raid. Any insight on what the agents are doing, specifically?
Graff: While the bin Laden operation was mostly led by the SEALs and the CIA, the FBI was very much involved in the planning, helping to train the SEALs about how to gather evidence at the scene and ensure the collection of valuable intelligence. Much of that intelligence — the flash drives, documents and so on — is now being worked on by the FBI forensics and laboratory teams (along with other agencies).
The Bureau really pushed the SEALs to preserve forensic evidence like fingerprints on the evidence they collected at the Abbottabad compound so that the FBI lab officials could track every possible lead. The effort to process that information since has been a joint exercise by the FBI, CIA, NSA and Pentagon.
The combat-intelligence role has been one the Bureau has played since the fall of 2001, going into Afghanistan and later Iraq to help gather intelligence, process raid sites for evidence and leads, and conduct interrogations. The first FBI agents in Afghanistan, who went to Kandahar after the invasion in 2001, worked with U.S. special forces to teach them how to treat raid sites as crime scenes with an eye toward gathering what the FBI calls "pocket litter," the random documents and personal property that was lying around.
Wired.com: Mueller became FBI director just a few days before 9/11. Was this the job he thought he was walking into?
Graff: Mueller actually thought he was showing up to fix the computers. Under his predecessor, Louis Freeh, the Bureau had neglected its IT infrastructure — Freeh himself didn't like computers — and Mueller's big challenge was supposed to be fixing that.
Mueller's a bit of a closet geek — he got onto cybercrime threats very early in his career, launching the Justice Department's first cyber team, helping to build the computer system used by U.S. Attorneys nationwide, and he's always quick to purchase the latest gadget — but he came into the job on September 4, 2001, with little knowledge of counterterrorism or the intelligence worlds. I tell the story in the book of how coincidentally he was sitting on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, in one of his first briefings on al-Qaida when the Trade Centers were attacked.
The irony of just how much Mueller has changed the Bureau in the last decade, overseeing a huge transition toward more intelligence-driven, threat-based cases, is that the Mueller of 2001 would likely not be considered capable of replacing the Mueller of 2011.
Wired.com: Two FBI squads spent years chasing al-Qaida. Yet, after 9/11, Mueller turned the investigation over to a whole different squad. How come?
Graff: There was a feeling — quite wrong, I believe — that because the 9/11 attacks occurred, the FBI teams in New York who had been chasing bin Laden's organization had failed. Mueller chose to move the al-Qaida investigation from New York to Washington and turn the investigation over to a different squad; most of those key agents from the al-Qaida squads, who at that point had spent years chasing bin Laden and made some key arrests and gathered some critical intelligence on the organization, were sidelined.
Still today, not one of the eight heads of counterterrorism who have served over the last decade had worked al-Qaida before 9/11.
Wired.com: You write that Mueller was key to Dick Cheney's agenda to radically expand executive power after 9/11 — and to largely control the levers of the security state personally. How?
Graff: Mueller served a tour in Vietnam and won a Purple Heart and Bronze Star with valor leading a Marine platoon there. He's a good Marine — he keeps his head down, keeps a low profile in the media, and doesn't stray outside his lane, responsibility-wise. It's one of the political skills that has kept him in the job as director for so long.
Vice President Cheney radically shaped the nation's response to 9/11, putting the CIA much more at the fore of the response than it had been traditionally, and greatly expanding the military's role through programs like Guantanamo and enhanced interrogations. The FBI, which until 9/11 had really been the lead agency in responding to terrorism attacks like Pan Am 103 and the East Africa embassy bombings, was sidelined in some key respects.
Mueller, while he has his own firmly developed sense of Constitutional rights and protections, didn't see his role as advocating for specific policies — he saw his role as executing the agenda presented by the president and vice president. Even though he disagreed with many of the decisions made in the wake of 9/11, he protested remarkably little.
Wired.com: After 9/11, you write, the federal government lost all sense of proportion when it came to terror. Any potential whisper of terrorism got put on the "threat matrix," the list of potential plots forwarded to the White House. (My personal favorite: the e-mail that read, "Dear America, I will attack you if you don't pay me 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 dollars. MUHAHAHA.") Tell
us how the threat matrix drove the agenda in those years — and how long it took for sanity to return.
Graff: The name of the book, The Threat Matrix, comes from the document that the FBI and the CIA developed after 9/11 to track the the unfolding terrorism plots. Each morning, CIA director George Tenet, FBI director Mueller, President Bush, Vice President Cheney and other national security officials, spent an hour going over that document — it was a spreadsheet, actually, that many days stretched to 15 to 20 pages, outlining every piece of intelligence and unfolding plot gathered by the U.S. government in the previous 24 hours.
The problem with the document, though, was that everyone wanted to share everything — so most of the stuff listed in the threat matrix was bunk at best, specious rumors, half-baked analysis and half-true exaggerations. The team in the Oval Office, though, didn't know that, so they had to treat everything as a serious threat — the document really numbed them and made it hard to make smart decisions about how real and expansive the terrorist threat was after 9/11.
The best example of this is about a month after 9/11, a report came in on the threat matrix that a nuclear weapon was on board a train bound for Pittsburgh, set to be detonated within 24 hours. That obviously spun up the government and put people into panic mode. It took a couple of days to run down that the intelligence actually originated from a misheard conversation in a men's bathroom in the Ukraine, there was no basis in reality at all. For weeks, President Bush teased the men briefing him, "Is this another Ukrainian urinal incident?"
Wired.com: What steps did Mueller take to reorient the FBI around counterterror?
Graff: The biggest shift under Mueller is that counterterrorism has gone from one of the top priorities to the top priority. That's meant they've reshuffled thousands of agents from other tasks.
It's also meant that they've really accelerated a push overseas that began in the 1990s. The FBI, which originally was designed as a domestic agency, today operates in about 80 countries overseas and has hundreds of agents deployed to places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and other global hotspots. Agents are in Thailand working organized crime cases, in Africa doing kidnapping cases, Latin America doing drugs and gangs, and in Eastern Europe doing cybercrime cases.
The FBI actually last month conducted its first raid on the ground in Somalia, going in to capture a pirate ringleader and bring him back to the U.S. to stand trial. J. Edgar Hoover really wouldn't recognize much of the work that Mueller's FBI does today.
Wired.com: When Mueller took the helm of the FBI, its computer systems were woefully out of date. Have they gotten any better, relatively speaking? Does the Bureau have an electronic case-record system yet, for instance?
Graff: The FBI's computer upgrade has been by most accounts the biggest failure of Mueller's tenure — it went wildly off track in the years after 9/11, running hundreds of millions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule. Only in the last couple of years has it gotten on track and begun delivering real value to agents.
It's come a long way since 2001 — I tell the story in the book of how in the summer of 2001, FBI agents in San Francisco had no way to transfer an al-Qaida's suspect e-mail securely to agents in New York; they had to save the e-mail to a floppy disc and fly commercially to LaGuardia to hand-deliver the disc. But the FBI still isn't where many people had hoped they'd be.
While agents now can do things like share information better, access the internet at their desks, and use BlackBerrys — you might laugh but many of these innovations were years in coming — the case-management system is really the last puzzle piece and that is scheduled to be completed by next year. One good argument for extending Mueller's term is the chance for him to see that full process through and not change horses midstream.
I believe though that the computer system is just one part of the big picture: I still think that the FBI is underinvesting in cyberthreats right now in the same way that it underinvested in counterterrorism in the 1990s.
Wired.com: What were the downsides of turning the FBI into more of a counterterror shop? What was lost, as a result?
Graff: The reassignment of so many agents to counterterrorism and the re-prioritization on national security hasn't been without cost. We haven't pumped new staff into the FBI at the rate that we have in other homeland security agencies since 9/11, which means that many of the new CT agents have been pulled from the traditional criminal divisions of the FBI — squads that investigated things like bank robberies, fraud, white collar crime and particularly drug cases.
In many of those areas, prosecutions have dropped by 40, 50, and even 60 percent. Mueller, for instance, pulled 2,000 agents off the southern border who had been working big drug cases — and that reassignment actually tracks pretty closely to the tremendous rise of violence in the Mexican drug world over the last decade.
I think part of President Obama's decision to extend Mueller's term by two years is to give him a chance to continue the rebuilding of the criminal division, a process that Mueller began about two years ago. He's got one of his most favored executives, TJ Harrington, heading that process now, trying to bring some of the same evolution in thinking that they've applied to counterterrorism — focusing more on threats and intelligence — to the criminal investigation process.

stinky washing machine and drains
about a year ago we remodeld , since then our washing machine smells like a molded rag, our main bathroom sinks smell as well. there is not a problem with drainage just the foul odors. my wife has tried different washing and conditions products but has not helped. the washing machine is about 3 years old, there are pee traps on the washer and the sinks. other bath rooms do not have this issue. please can any body help with the stinkies before it gets hot weather when it gets really bad. thanks
If you have a front loader there are problems with odor. Try running some vinegar through the machine...not sure how much. Probably a couple of cups and a complete hot cycle. Bleach may also work. Leave the door open after every load to let the moisture dry out. The vinegar will neutralize the build up of softeners and detergents and should be done several times a year. Google it for details. The bleach should take care of moldy smell. Hope this helps!
Buy Tide washing machine cleaner in the aisle with the detergent comes in a 3 pack. Try that one a month. It costs about $7 cleans the washer and drain lines. Follow instructions. Hope it helps.
Run conventional bleach in a load of whites periodically, and leave the washer door open so it can dry out. That will kill off any mold you may get growing.
If there is a smell coming from the sink drain, you have a trap / vent problem somewhere (usually a trap problem).
Something worth checking---the last two 'odor in the laundry room' call I had were from a floor drain---the trap had gone dry---
Not a mold smell though--so I think the other members are on the right track----Mike----
I agree that front loaders do smell funny......
Is it possible that you have a leak in one of those drain lines below the house? If the whole area smells funny, you could possibly be dumping water underneath and causing a funky smell.

Sep 3, 2013
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. --On Tuesday, Southeastern Conference recognized Tennessee juniors Hannah Wilkinson and Julie Eckel for their outstanding play this past weekend. Wilkinson was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Week and Eckel was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Week.
Tennessee (3-1-0) enjoyed two impressive wins on the weekend, upsetting No. 17 UCF, 2-1, on the road on Friday and shutting down James Madison, 2-0, at home on Sunday.
Wilkinson's and Eckel's SEC weekly nods mark just the third time in school history that two Tennessee players have received SEC weekly honors for the same week. On Oct. 22, 2012, Wilkinson and Eckel earned the same respective accolades after Tennessee defeated No. 9 Texas A&M, 1-0, and rallied back to beat Ole Miss, 2-1. On Oct. 31, 2005, when Ali Christoph received Offensive Player of the Week and Vanessa Phillips-Bosshart received Defensive Player of the Week.
Wilkinson, who was named the TopDrawerSoccer.com Player of the Week earlier on Tuesday, scored the match-winners in both of Tennessee's victories this weekend. At UCF on Friday, Wilkinson headed in a free kick from Cheyenne Spade for the winner in the 81st minute. On Sunday against James Madison, she recorded the first multi-goal performance of her collegiate career. Wilkinson scored goals in the fourth minute and the 77th minute, getting past the JMU keeper both times for open-net shots.
Eckel played 180 outstanding minutes in goal for Tennessee this week and went 2-0-0. She notched six saves against UCF and stood her ground on numerous one-on-one attempt, allowing Tennessee to come back with a pair of second-half scores to win the game. On Sunday, Eckel recorded her first shutout of the season and the 18th of her illustrious Tennessee career. Her 18 saves ranks third in Tennessee history. The two wins this week pushed Eckel's career total to 32 and moved her in third place in UT history, behind only Phillips-Bosshart (49) and Ellen Dean (46).
Tennessee will next host Dayton on Friday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m. Admission to all 2013 regular-season Tennessee soccer matches at Regal Soccer Stadium is free. The game will feature a free live video broadcast on UTSports.com with Brian Rice on the call, Tori Beeler Watson providing analysis and Dani Klupenger reporting from the sideline.

Claim Your Treasures
There are millions of dollars in unclaimed jewelry, antiques, and cash sitting in the state's safe deposit box. Florida's Chief Financial Officer oversees the unclaimed property. CFO Alex Sink is on a mission to match people up with the missing items. Sink says since the economy took a nose dive more people are looking to her office to see if they have unclaimed treasure.
"We are finding in this down economy that we're having more calls into our call center. We had two million hits on the website last year, people just scrambling around. You know when times get tough I always say you've got to look under the sofa and find extra pennies, dimes and nickels and quarters," said Alex Sink.

- - Weather Helm (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/general-discussion-sailing-related/103168-weather-helm.html)
Weather Helm
I sailed about 20 miles today from Point Orient NY to Clinton Ct.
Boat is a Bristol 32, cutaway full keel, center board.
Barn door rudder.
BRISTOL 32 sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com
Wheel model
Center board stuck up.
Rigging recently replaced due to a dismasting a few years ago.
Crisp full battened main, with lazy jacks
Crips genoa I'm guessing 150
No boom vang
Traveler not really operative.
I was able to get the luff moderately tight but not as tight as I would have liked.
No tells on the main so I had a hard time knowing exactly how to trim it.
The backstay seems very tight.
I'm guessing that the rudder and 3 blade prop are very fouled
Wind was about 10 knots gusting to 13 apparent.
Close hauled to close reaching.
I was surprised at how much weather helm the boat had.
I had to really let out the main to the point where the first foot or so of the luff was luffing before it was reduced enough to be tolerable.
Interestingly if I locked the helm it would track for quite a long time without adjustments with only 3 or 4 degrees of rudder.
Genoa is roller reefing type with two marks. I reefed to the first mark and as expected the weather helm was worse.
I don't have a lot of confidence in whoever did the re-rigging as the mast is particularly noisy at anchor because the internal wires are not captured in any way which seems pretty sloppy to me on a re-rig job.
I haven't check mast rake yet, don't know what it should be.
I don't know if it is tall or short rig.
Maybe their are just so many things out of spec on this boat that they just all add up to the behavior I experienced.
Anyone with one of these beasts that is tuned well? Do you have to reef the main in 15 knots of wind?
Or maybe the helm on this kind of keel and rudder is just very heavy.
Re: Weather Helm
I have no experience with that boat, or with any full keel boat.
But I can tell you that adjusting the rake on my own mast by 4" made a huge difference in weather helm. Factory spec for my boat is 4" rake. First year the rake was 12", and I had huge weather helm. Second year I tightened the forestay down to 8" rake (as far as I could adjust), and it was a little better. Third year I made some turnbuckle modifications inside the furler drum to bring the rake down to 4", and it's very well balanced.
I still get rounding up above 12 kt unless I reef, but I get to hull speed well before that. I have a light boat, so early reefing comes with the territory.
My main point is not to underestimate the importance of proper rake on the handling characteristics of the boat.
Re: Weather Helm
I have a Pearson Vanguard which is very close to the Bristol in design. I find that reefing the main in 10-15 knots really helps balance the boat almost perfect.
Re: Weather Helm
"centerboard stuck UP" --- results in pretty obvious 'high index of suspicion'
Most probably your cause of 'heavy helm' ... the boat was probably skidding off to leewards, and the side forces on the rudder due to the skid are mimicking 'weather helm'.
Next time, or anytime, you have heavy helm, and before you blame 'weather helm' ... FIRST thing to do is to look at the turbulence wake (from keel and rudder) coming off the stern. If that turbulence wake coming off the stern is not almost 'dead straight off the stern', about 4-5° MAXIMUM or less, the boat should be considered to be skidding to leeward.
Causes of a skid: 1. too loose forestay (luff of head sail is operating too far to leewards) 2. in a center-boarder - not enough board down. 3. too much sail up vs. the 'projected' underwater shape.- boat is heeling over too far.
That you added mainsail luff tension (shifts the point of maximum draft forward ... the #1 correction for 'weather helm') and with no positive results .... by elimination, strongly suggests a SKID and NOT a 'weather helm' problem.
Re: Weather Helm
My experience with the Bristol 32, like many boats of that era, was that it did tend to develop a lot of weather helm. But I would also think that the stuck CB would not be helpful. It was not unusual to adjust a partially raised centerboard position as an aide in balancing the helm. But also these were tender boats and pretty much all boats develop more weather helm with heel angle.
Re: Weather Helm
A few degrees of helm is not much. If you had significant weather helm it would round up when locked off.
You wouldn't need to reef at that wind speed. = maybe 15-20 knots. A bit of backwinding is not a problem either.
It rather sounds like you have room to play with checking and fixing a few things anyway. Check rake, get centreboard working, traveller stay tension, wools, all these things make a difference and some might be +ve now some _ve.
Re: Weather Helm
Also where would one find the correct rake number?
Re: Weather Helm
Boat before current was a CB, had it for 10 years, a Hood design.
Definitely agree with other posters, CB up was the biggest contributor.
Re: Weather Helm
Hard to tell anything with the centerboard not fully extended. It's a main component of the boat's design and has the specific function of minimizing slippage. In that boat, it may change the pivot point. Centerboard boats generally need the board down when close hauled. Fifteen knots of wind is enough to have a reef in both main and any large genoa. My 160 genoa is problematic if the wind gets greater than ten knots and is really only useful in light winds.
Weather Helm
I was sailing near where you were yesterday (Gardiners Bay) and when close hauled the apparent wind was as high as 24 knots. Not surprising you needed to reef.

The Miami Conservancy District (MCD) actively promotes and develops recreational amenities throughout the Great Miami River Watershed.
Recreation trails: MCD owns and/or maintains an extensive recreation trail system (nearly 34 miles) throughout Montgomery County. View regional trail system.
River access: MCD builds boat ramps to encourage recreation on the Great Miami River Watershed waterways. MCD also offers river recreation maps to the Great Miami, Mad and Stillwater rivers which make up the state-designated Great Miami River Watershed Water Trail – the largest water trail system in Ohio. The trail collectively offers 291 miles of waterway accessible to recreational boaters, fishermen and wildlife watchers.
Low dams: MCD owns five low dams. Only Two-mile Dam in Hamilton is part of the flood protection system. The low dams create a pool of water upstream of each dam for recreation, including boating and fishing. The cities of Hamilton, West Carrollton, Moraine and Dayton, and Montgomery County pay an assessment for MCD to maintain the dams. Watch Play It Safe.
RiverWalk: The Dayton RiverWalk runs along the levee-top between the Main Street Bridge and the Monument Avenue (Dayton View) Bridge on each side of the Great Miami River. The total length of the lighted, crushed gravel walkway including the two bridges is about 2 miles. The walkway is easily accessible from the end of either bridge. The Miami Conservancy District controls the land where the walkway is located and maintains the facility for the City of Dayton.
All of these projects were constructed and are maintained by funds separate from flood protection or groundwater assessments. Assessments to cities – as well as grants and other revenue sources – pay for the construction and maintenance of MCD recreation amenities.
Do not enter river water covering the trail.
Hidden hazards such as debris, erosion, slippery mud or undercurrents make such actions extremely dangerous.
Please allow time for MCD maintenance staff members to clean – and possibly repair – the trail after the river water has receded.

Individual Swiss Chard and Italian Sausage Lasagna
To make this recipe as a single large lasagna in a 9-by-13-inch pan, cut the noodles into strips 4 inches wide and 13 inches long. Bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 45 minutes, and let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
- Servings: 8
Source: Martha Stewart Living, October 2008
For the Filling
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/4 pounds sweet Italian sausage, casings removed, meat crumbled into small pieces
- 3 shallots, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 3 pounds Swiss chard, stems removed, leaves cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
- 3 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced crosswise
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
For the Bechamel
- 1/2 onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 1/2 cups whole milk
- Fresh Lasagna Noodles, (cut into 4-inch squares and cooked, or store-bought dried noodles, cooked and cut to size)
- 8 ounces fontina cheese, grated (1 cup)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make the filling: Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage, and cook, stirring, until golden and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer sausage to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Reduce heat to medium, and add shallots to drippings in pan. Cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add chard, and cook, stirring frequently, until just starting to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic, lemon zest, and salt, and season with pepper. Cook, stirring often, until chard wilts completely, about 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Transfer to a colander to drain.
Make the bechamel: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, salt, and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in milk, a little at a time, until incorporated. Bring to a boil, stirring often, then reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring gently and often, until thickened and creamy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Place a piece of parchment flush against the surface of sauce to prevent a skin from forming.
Place 8 baking dishes that are 7 inches across and 1 1/2 inches deep on rimmed baking sheets. Spread 3 tablespoons of bechamel in each dish, and top with a noodle. Spread 3 tablespoons chard mixture evenly in each dish, then divide 1/2 of the sausage mixture among dishes (about cup each). Top each dish with 2 tablespoons bechamel, then a noodle. Repeat once with chard, sausage, bechamel, and another noodle. Top each with 2 tablespoons of bechamel. Sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons fontina.
Bake until cheese is golden brown and sauce is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Study on the portability of benefits for public health officials
The American workforce is highly mobile, with workers relocating and changing employers often over the course of a career. However, local and state public health professionals face many barriers to mobility that impact public health's ability to attract and retain a skilled workforce. The lack of pension portability, or the ability of workers to take their pensions with them when they leave an employer, makes it difficult for public health leaders to move from state to state and thereby serve as sources of innovation and improved practice between jurisdictions. This grant supports the conduct of a scan of the 50 states to review the portability of pension benefits of public health leaders between and within states. This project will inform the Foundation's program strategy to create an environment in which public health is understood and valued. The deliverable for this project will be a white paper that will examine issues related to the pension portability for public health leaders, including the minimum amount of time required for pension benefits to be fully vested; whether defined benefit (including a review of benefits provided and age, years of service, and salary requirements) or defined contribution plans (including any contributions made by employers) are provided; whether systems allow the purchase of service credits for prior periods of employment in other jurisdictions; federal tax laws governing pension portability; and trends in portability in public employee retirement systems.

ActionSampling Around the City of Seattle!2012-05-23 1 Share Tweet
When the Sun shines in Seattle, its kind of a big deal. Actually, its a really big deal. Time to venture out and explore the city with my actionsampler! Here is my review of this multilens camera!
Seattle is known for its rainy weather. Winter is a long drawn out season here with mainly gloomy overcast days. Sometimes, it can be sad. In fact, there is a mood disorder for that called Seasonal affective disorder. However, with spring in full swing now, the sun is out and the entire city changes! Everyone suddenly wants to go outside and reacquaint themselves with that big yellow ball in the sky. I love it! Okay, now that you know what I have to work with, let me bust out my Lomography ActionSampler.
This small camera was given to me by a friend from the Seattle Lomography Adventurer Club, our local Lomo group. He advised me that I wouldn't need too much light and I'd be perfectly fine shooting indoors with my normal room lights on. Here are some of the indoor shots:
URGH. My first few shots were so dark! I thought my friend had played a good trick on me. Honestly, I didn't know these were too dark. I was too infatuated with my Diana Mini that I tucked the ActionSampler away, only to be remembered this spring. With the first shots too dark, I continued through my first roll and I was definitely in for a big surprise.
A friend of mine came up to visit me a few weeks ago and he was lucky enough to visit on a very sunny weekend. In Seattle, I think people are more appreciative and grateful for the sun. More people get up and out, as we try to do as many things in the sun as possible.
Here are a few shots from the ferry:
With four lens, the ActionSampler takes 4 sequential shots. Once you take a shot, you'll hear a slight whirring sound. Don't be alarmed. This is normal! The sound is pretty loud indoors and you are bound to get some looks. Like most lomo cameras, this camera is almost entirely made up of plastic and is light in weight. It will easily fit into a pocket or just toss it in your pack/purse/bag. It is a little bit longer than the Diana Mini, but smaller in width.
As you can see, the pictures come out soft with a dreamy look most people are looking for. With nothing really to focus, you kind of just shoot away and hope you caught something! I love how the buildings look, especially with the four images on each frame.
When you move into the shadows, you can see a dramatic change in the pictures. Moving into the shade, the actionsampler pictures change dramatically. I feel like this camera is just hungry for tons of light! On the other hand, you can still get some good shots in the shade. The actionsampler does not come with a flash. I haven't tried it out yet, but I would love to try the Actionsampler Flash. Here is a picture in the shade on the same sunny day:
The camera uses 35mm film, which is great because you can take it to get it developed almost anywhere! I usually tell the lab people not to cut the negatives, because they may mistaken the pictures to be half frames and cut it straight down the middle of the frame.
Overall, I like this little camera. I suggest you shoot out in a lot of light when using any film 400 ISO and under. As spring continues and the sun is out more, I'll definitely be taking this camera around to catch some action around the city. Take note — the ActionSampler thrives with a lot of sun. Winter is over, so go out and use your ActionSampler!
The Actionsampler Clear snaps up a series of four images on one 35mm print. This multilens camera records your subject's movement and now has an ultra cool transparent body. See it with the rest of our Multilens cameras here!

only reason i can think of NOT to own your own shop, is it's nicer getting a paycheck than trying to figure out hth your gonna cover everyone else's paycheck come friday........
how mechanically inclined are you? if you are, then i don't see why you couldn't do it, just remember, anytime you do something you enjoy on the side, and turn it into a job, thats exactly what it becomes.
as far as shops go, there is a shop in town here, the guy who ran it was killed street racing, well the building owner owns the lifts and other heavy equipment, i'm don't know if this is a semi-normal practice, but i do know that the equipment comes with the shop lease, might be like that elsewhere, just have to look.... that would cut way down on start up expenses.
Troy-Curt and Nairb are shop owners......
as is KristKustoms, and several others here......
oh, and don't forget the government regulations..... osha makes it damn near impossible to stay open unless your stuff is wired tight, so to speak......

First, the scent! So beautiful and natural it makes me feel indulged. The scent lifts my spirits.
I'm 44 and my skin is in great condition but I do need extra moisture even in the summer. This oil is not heavy. It makes my skin feel nourished and conditioned. I use it under a bb cream or tinted sunblock. I wait a few minutes after applying the oil to let my skin absorb it before I apply the bb cream and the finish is flawless.

Originally posted on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 1/15/13
For years, the name Pedro Feliciano was a fixture in an otherwise hectic Mets bullpen. His ability to get lefties out was always a plus, and reliability upon him was key. Then following the 2010 season, Sandy Alderson let the then-longest tenured Met on the roster go across town to the rivaled New York Yankees. A pair of seasons later, Feliciano never so much as threw a pitched for the Bombers, who paid $8 million for a two-year DL trip. Now Feliciano is a free-agent again, this time supposedly healthy and intending to pitch in Winter Ball last time we heard from him agent. With the Mets in need of a bullpen overhaul, Feliciano would be an inexpensive high-risk, high-reward type of reward player; the kind of player GM Sandy Alderson goes wild for. He could be a trusted arm in a pen that is full of anything but. He could help fill a gaping hole that has not even begun to be addressed this winter. Who's for the return of the Perpetual Pedro to Flushing? I sure am. Thoughts?

NIH strengthens existing regulations on managing
financial conflicts of interest, affecting all investigators
seeking public health service funding
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a final rule that amends the Public Health Service (PHS) regulations on Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research for which Public Health Service (PHS) Funding is Sought (42 C.F.R. Part 50, Subpart F) and Responsible Prospective Contractors (45 C.F.R. Part 94).
The changes focus on Investigators' disclosure requirements of significant financial interests (SFIs), Institutions' reporting and management of identified financial conflicts of interest (FCOI), and public disclosure of information regarding Investigator FCOI. The changes include clarification of how the regulations apply in circumstances in which an Investigator or a PHS-funded research project transfers from one Institution to another. They also mandate each investigator to undertake COI training at their institution.
To learn about the specific changes, you may
All institutions applying for PHS funding must be in full compliance no later than August 24, 2012. Additional information regarding the implementation of these new regulations by ETSU, including availability of training and revised procedures for reporting significant financial interest, will be communicated in early 2012.

Latest on the Cup Finalists, Pavel Datsyuk wins prestigious Russian sports award, Blackhawks concerned over Patrick Kane's off-ice escapades, and more.
NJ.COM: If the Devils win the Stanley Cup, it remains to be seen if that'll work in their favor in re-signing team captain Zach Parise.

Subject: st: Graphing Question
Good morning,
I have, what should be, a simple graphing problem. I clustered doctors into four groups. I created a table showing the proportion of doctors in each group who use a certain drug with their patients. The proportions are simply the weighted means of a binary variable which indicates whether or not the drug is prescribed by that doctor. Now I want to draw a pie chart showing those proportions. I can easily draw a pie that displays proportions which are not weighted, but how do I tell Stata to draw the pie using the weighted means? In short, I want the table and pie slices to be identical so I can give my client both.
Incidentally, how do I get the pie slice labels to be outside the pie and have the percentages next to the slice label? It seems that everything goes inside the pie and we can either get labels or percentages, but not both.

Track: Missouri Primary Returns
The map on this page shows not only who's winning in each of the state's 114 counties, but, using Patchwork Nation, it shows how the candidates are doing in each of Missouri's eight types of county – from the wealthy Monied Burbs to the rural agricultural Tractor Country counties. It will fill in with data as the results from the primary comes in.
What to Look for in Missouri
Missouri is a "beauty contest" where no delegates will be awarded. It is also a primary vote, which tends to favor candidates that have strong built-in bases of voters – bases like, say, socially conservative evangelical voters. This should not be a good state for Romney. Look at the map below and you will see a lot of yellow marking the counties Patchwork Nation calls the Evangelical Epicenters.
The real question out of Missouri may be whom the voters in those yellow counties get behind on Tuesday night. Evangelical voters have not been good for Romney and Patchwork Nation knows from its visits to southern Missouri in 2008 that there are some who say they won't back Romney because he is a Mormon.
But if the voters in the Epicenters don't go for Romney do they get behind Santorum? Santorum has the backing of Christian conservative leaders, but Tuesday will mark the first real test of this territory with a large number of counties falling into this type.

Stop me if I've told you this one, but after I accepted Jim Finks' offer to join him in New Orleans in the summer of 1986, my old boss at the NFL Management Council, Jack Donlan, told me to find my replacement before I left New York. I thought it would be an easy matter finding an enthusiastic young up-and-comer to join Donlan in the NFL's labor relations department. The Collective Bargaining Agreement, which came as the result of a 57-day players' strike in 1982, would expire in another year, and Donlan needed a spokesman to represent the position of NFL owners. Surely, the first person I asked would jump at the opportunity.
I was pulling so hard for the Seahawks during their fourth quarter rally Sunday.
Paul Tagliabue's decision Tuesday to vacate discipline against current and former Saints players in the Bountygate episode was the right one, but it is disappointing that Commissioner Roger Goodell did not make it when he had the chance. Regular readers to this column will recall my September 12 column in which I climbed up on the commissioner's throne and pretended I had the power.
Now that the New Orleans Saints have gotten back on the road to redemption with their Monday Night Football win over the Philadelphia Eagles, it's time for them to move on to the next opponent. And, on to the next distraction too.
A Channel 6 sports reporter called last night to ask if I would comment on the legacy of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for the 10 pm news.
The battered New Orleans Saints and the emotionally-bruised Drew Brees take on the flabbergasted Green Bay Packers Sunday in a Jim Mora coulda, woulda, shoulda moment. For the Saints, it's what if bountygate had not occurred and Sean Payton were still in the pit.
According to a declared affidavit signed by former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, the New Orleans Saints had a "pay-for-performance/bounty program. Here is a copy of the sworn affidavit. The Affidavit was given to Jonathan Vilma, the New Orleans Saints linebacker who was suspended by Roger Goodell, the NFL commissioner.
ESPN: NFL gave Vilma affidavit from Gregg Williams citing bounty offer of 10,000
NFL gave Jonathan Vilma a sworn affidavit from former Saints DC Gregg Williams that the New Orleans LB offered $10,000 to any teammate who knocked Brett Favre out of the January 2010 NFC Championship game. More on ESPN and ESPN.com.
Robert Griffin III, or RG3, the new NFL rookie sensation has begun to finish what Commissioner Goodell started--the systematic demolition of the New Orleans Saints football team.
He and his Washington Redskins won the opening game of season 2012, the year the New Orleans Saints have been hoping to return to the Super Bowl glory but this time would be playing at home in the Super Dome.
The NFL Players Association filed another losing motion this week when it asked federal judge Ginger Berrigan to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the suspensions of Will Smith and Scott Fujita. Berrigan must rule in the next day or two since the season, for everybody but Dallas and the Giants, begins Sunday. So the beat goes on.
But lost in all the discussion of a TRO's, a new NFL season, Sean Payton's vacation, interim head coaches and interims to the interim head coach is one big tuna can at the bottom of the New Orleans Saints' travel trunk. It is still only a faint smell, but the longer it sits and spoils, the more likely it will result in another stinker on the Saints reputation. If you recall, Saints owner Tom Benson retained former FBI Director Louis Freeh to conduct a complete and impartial investigation into the Bountygate scandal and its assorted tentacles.
Despite General Michael Flynn's announcement via his counsel that the General and former head of National Security, would take the 5th Amendment in Congressional proceedings, the Intelligence Committee will pursue information, regardless.Read More

Hurley Medical Center is 1st in Michigan, Among 1st in U.S. to Implant New FDA Approved Pacemaker
On May 15, 2012, Hurley Medical Center became the first location in Michigan, and among the first hospitals in the United States to treat patients with an INGENIO™ pacemaker, manufactured by Boston Scientific.
"The INGENIO™ device enables physicians to treat pacemaker patients with an advanced and comprehensive set of therapies," said Dr. George Predeteanu, the Cardiologist who implanted the first device at Hurley Medical Center. The INGENIO™ pacemaker's minute ventilation (MV) sensor is easy to optimize and will provide needed therapy for patients with chronotropic incompetence (CI) to help them feel less fatigued during physical activity," adds Dr. Predeteanu.
"Having access to my patient's respiratory rates, as needed, will help me proactively manage their heart failure symptoms and make any medical changes necessary before their symptoms get worse. The goal is to keep patients out of the hospital," said Dr. Samir Elian, Interventional Cardiologist. Dr. Elian's patient received the pacemaker at Hurley on May 15, 2012.
INGENIO™ pacemakers feature RightRate™ technology. RightRate™
The INGENIO™ pacemaker will also have the capacity to transmit implantable cardiac device data from the device to physicians and other healthcare providers. Boston Scientific's new LATITUDE NXT® Remote Patient Management system, currently under review by the FDA, will let physicians conduct remote follow-ups of these device patients to monitor specific device information and heart health status. The system will also detect clinical events between scheduled visits and send relevant data directly to a secure website, which can be accessed by physicians. This wireless technology will allow patients to transmit data to physicians from most locations in North America without the need for landline-based technology.
Media: For interviews, please contact Ilene Cantor, Interim Administrator, Marketing, Community and Public Relations at Hurley Medical Center at email@example.com or 810-262-7164.

- 1/4 cup fresh parsley sprigs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 (4 1/2-pound) boneless pork loin roast, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- Garnishes: fresh herbs and roasted garlic
How to Make It
Process first 8 ingredients in a food processor or blender 2 minutes or until smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides; set pesto mixture aside.
Butterfly roast by making a lengthwise cut down center of 1 flat side, cutting to within 1/2" of other side. From bottom of cut, slice horizontally to 1/2" from left side; repeat procedure to right side. Open roast, and place between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; flatten to 1/2" thickness, using a mallet or rolling pin.
Spread about two-thirds pesto mixture over roast. Roll up roast, jellyroll fashion, starting with long side, and secure at 2" intervals, using heavy string.
Place roast in a shallow roasting pan; cover with remaining pesto mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°; bake 1 hour or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 160°. Remove from pan, reserving drippings in pan; keep roast warm.
Whisk flour into drippings in pan, and cook over medium-high heat 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add broth and next 3 ingredients; simmer 3 minutes or until thickened. Pour gravy through a wire-mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding solids. Stir in 1 teaspoon each parsley and thyme. Serve gravy with roast. Garnish platter, if desired.
