I didn't want to write anything about the BountyGate coverage knowing I could never give an unbiased, fair assessment of the scandal as a lifelong Saints fan. I've always been curious what it'd be like to have my team at the center of a scandal big enough it got its own "Gate" attached to it... now I know, it sucks. This is worse than going through the years of Billy Joe Hobert AND Billy Joe Tolliver. The actions of Gregg Williams, Sean Payton, Mickey Loomis, the players, and everyone else in BountyGate have taken a team whose story was admired and embraced by a nation - from the depths of Hurricane Katrina all the way to a Super Bowl triumph - and blotted it with an ugly scandal. They've hurt their organization, their league, and their fans in a drastic way.
Make no mistake, the Saints organization and those involved should pay for what transpired, if for nothing else than their sheer arrogance and stupidity in lying to the league and thinking they would never get found out. With Roger Goodell's emphasis on player safety (more on that in a bit), they had to know the risk of getting caught giving out bounties to knock players out of games would far outweight the petty cash and/or symbolic reward. They had to know the hammer would come down hard when that day of reckoning would come, especially after attempting to cover up their activities. The parties involved deserve every bit of likely punishment that's coming (fines, suspensions, draft picks) because of that reality.
Are bounties wrong? Of course. Unethical? Absolutely. But as you've heard this week, bounties and pay for performance schemes aren't exclusive to New Orleans. Of course, that in no way excuses the elaborate and cringe-inducing as the one run by Gregg Williams though.
But it's also true that in any "Gate" level scandal or controversy, the media by nature is bound to circle like hungry sharks smelling blood in the water. When this type of story erupts, levelheadedness too often gets thrown out the window. Rushes to judgment are made. Sweeping comparisons are a dime a dozen.
The competition of "Who Can Be The Most Appalled And Horrified This Could Happen" among sportswriters over BountyGate has been a story worth watching in its own right. But in the end, the hyperbole therein hides the true scandal of BountyGate. Just take a look at these examples...
There's Ashley Fox of ESPN saying Mickey Loomis and Sean Payton should be fired. Somewhat reasonable if unlikely. There's Mike Florio concerned with the potential of Saints fans who are crazed "nutcases" taking vigilante justice on whoever informed the league about the bounties. Completely out of nowhere, but sure, whatever. Skip Bayless says it taints the Saints Super Bowl win forever. That's a relief. There's PFT again hypothetically wondering if Peyton Manning's neck injury was caused by a Gregg Williams bounty. All these stories are symoblic of the constant oneupsmanship for who can be the most outraged and suggest the steepest penatlites for Gregg Williams and the Saints. But these examples aren't even among the most drastic.
*Take Gary Myers of the New York Daily News as one of many saying defensive coordinator Gregg Williams should get a lifetime NFL ban. A bit extreme, but with the furor surrounding BountyGate, not surprising. He writes this:
"Play hard. Play clean. When players walk off the field after a game, the last thing they say to each other is, "Stay healthy."
As it turns out, they all don't mean it, especially those who play for former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who should be thrown out of the NFL for life by Roger Goodell. He was financially motivating players to hurt players. It doesn't get worse than that."
If you're going to ban Gregg Williams for life because of the bounty program, you better be prepared to throw out a larger percentage than you think of defensive players and coaches if the NFL carries its investigation of bounties to its logical conclusion. The shock and awe that something so monstrous can happen in the NFL rings a bit hollow. Football is a violent game. Defensive players have been trying to hurt offensive players since a pig's skin was first used to make an oblong shaped ball. Ever seen this hit? We've romanticized guys like Chuck Bednarik for decades, now is it time to pretend that side of football has never existed? Doesn't get worse than that? I can think of a few off-field examples of NFL players and coaches committing crimes that indeed are, but that doesn't fit neatly into this news cycle.
*The "haughty" Gregg Easterbrook has already been taken down at length by Deadspin as he went all-in with his typical flash and aplomb and DERANGED HYSTERIA!!! These are actual words written by an actual columnist at an actual sports website:
"With football being hammered by scandal after scandal, where is the person of honor who will take a stand to return integrity to the sport?"
Oh, Lord.
"Michael Vick went to prison for nearly two years for harming dogs, which he should not have done. Williams offered players money to harm people. And there was no misunderstanding: Williams told the league Friday, "We knew we were wrong while we were doing it.'' The situations are not directly analogous. But if prison was the fair punishment for causing harm to animals, the punishment Williams faces must be severe."
Killing and torturing dogs and breaking federal law IS NOT DIRECTLY ANALOGOUS to a coach wanting his players to knock an opponent out of a game. Whew, glad that's been clarified. What does this sentence even mean though - "if prison was the fair punishment for causing harm to animals, the punishment Williams faces must be severe." Severe... so beheading? Firing squad? What exactly will satisfy Gregg Easterbrook's thirst for blood? If you thought this couldn't get any more self-righteous, here you go...
"But high school players are exposed to injuries that at minimum cause pain, expense and lost school time, and at worst may bring lifelong physical or mental debilitation. If the example being set by the NFL is one of a Super Bowl team acting gleeful over injured opponents, the worst harm isn't done to the pros. It is done at the high school level, where most of the sport is played, and where teens, and their coaches, emulate what they see in the NFL."
Think of the children, won't somebody please think of the children!!
*Not to be outdone by his fellow Greg-with-an-extra-G, Gregg Doyel of CBS called for Gregg Williams to be incarcerated. I would have thought the Greggs would have banded together:
"After being barred for life from the NFL -- I mean, don't even let him into the stadium as a fan -- Williams should spend the next several years worrying about criminal charges. Jail? Sure. Until the statute of limitations expires, Williams should spend the next several years worrying about jail."
We've already discussed the liftetime ban as a slippery slope... but jail? If you want to classify what Gregg Williams did as a criminal offense, what about the guys that actually delivered the hits. Shouldn't the ones that actually committed these acts of "battery" be thrown in the clink? If that's what we want, again, then let's throw Warren Sapp in with them for his dirty hit on Chad Clifton. Albert Haynesworth and Ndamukong Suh can't get away with their stomps that were outside the rules and spirit of the game either. Were those dastardly acts done with the best of intentions, or are we only limiting this kind of behavior when there's an envelope of cash at stake? Should we extend this conversation to baseball beanings, hockey fights, drivers intentionally wrecking one another, and flagrant fouls in basketball too?
Come to think of it, have we actually heard one specific story of a person who suffered incredible physical and emotional harm because of a bounty hit in the last three years? Wait a second... oh no... no... oh crap...
"I want him (Williams) to see Brett Favre, because Williams' bounty system helped chase one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history into retirement. You can argue Favre should have retired anyway at age 41, but that's another matter. Right or wrong, Favre couldn't walk away -- didn't walk away -- until he could barely walk away thanks to the brutal pounding the Saints administered.
Favre didn't retire until a year later, but the beating he took in that game reduced him to a shell of himself for his final, injury-shortened season. It was so brutal, so unusual even in the context of professional football, that it dominated conversation for days and remained a topic of discussion for months."
You've got to be kidding. This overexaggeration is fine and dandy until you consider the facts. Favre did walk away, Favre didn't miss a play in that NFC Championship Game, and Favre came back to play the next season. To try to turn BountyGate into the evil Saints pulling the trigger on Old Yeller is laughable. Did the hits on Favre dominate converstaion for days and remain a topic of discussion for months? That's just revisionist history at its finest. I don't remember Favre being a shell of his former self when he threw his 500th career TD pass to Randy Moss in New York the next season. But then again, one of the most satiable elements in BountyGate for the media is to take a trip back to the altar of Favre.
*Standing there is the King of all that is Favre, Peter King of Sports Illustrated. From the second BountyGate was made public, King has inserted Favre front and center into the narrative. King throws out the hypotheticals of Pete Morelli flagging Bobby McCray for his low hit on the quarterback and the Vikings eventually winning the game because of it in his Tuesday column. My, what could have been...
Hard to imagine Favre, regardless how he felt, not playing in the Super Bowl two weeks later. I bet he would have, come hell or high water. But he wasn't sure about that when we spoke Friday. "I wonder if I would have been able to play in the Super Bowl,'' said Favre. "I'm just telling I could not walk on Tuesday. That was a bad one.''
Just another part of this story that makes you sit back and wonder a lot of things about that day in January 2010.
What makes me wonder is whether or not BountyGate would be the worst scandal of all-time if Tavaris Jackson was the quarterback that day instead of Brett Favre. What confuses me is the same Favre that was forced to retire because of this barbaric brutality would have played in a game two weeks later? Which one is it? To his credit, Favre isn't getting caught up in the BountyGate madness, maybe he's changed in retirement. However, when King waxes about what could have been for Favre, it takes away from the real story at hand.
It's all well and good to glorify big hits and celebrate the violence associated with football until the curtain is pulled back. It's all well and good to glorify the violence of the game for "JACKED UP" and highlight packages and praise bonecrushing hits. But how many of those hits have been a part of bounties with or without a monetary reward attached? If we collectively want to go down this road, we need to consider the fundamental nature of the sport we all love, and consider our role in supporting it.
The bottom line in BountyGate is this - the media, fans, the NFL, and nearly everyone else emerges as a winner in taking a piece of the BountyGate pie. The media gets to play the outraged card and shower us with righteous indignation. The media loves nothing more than a scandal, and this has everything - high profile franchise in the nation's most popular sport, good turned evil, and one of the greatest media love affairs in the history of football as the central victim of the story. The TV networks get their hours of offseason coverage filled with a sensational controversy that can be debated from a million different angles. And we all as fans (well, except for Saints fans) get to have a new villainous foe and take up real estate on the moral high ground.
But most of all, the NFL and Roger Goodell get to fly the flag of player safety and protect the shield. Nevermind the NFL pushing for an 18 game regular season and more punishment for their players in exchange for more dollars. Nevermind the battle during the recent labor dispute between the NFL and its current and former players over pension and long-term healthcare. Nevermind the utter hypocrisy of the league when it comes to issues of player safety. Goodell will get just what he wants here - bringing his golden gavel down and being the white knight of the NFL while players still go out and ravage each other's bodies, bounties or not.
In reality, at its core, BountyGate is a scandal not because of a rogue defensive coordinator or a disturbingsly sophisticated system of rewarding physical harm. BountyGate is a scandal because it reveals the cold, hard truth of football - people willing to hurt other people and put their bodies and lives at risk to gain success and immortality. That won't change whether or not bounties are put in place. Football is a violent sport that has climbed to the top of the world because of its violence. That's not an easy thing to say, but it's been true about us throughout our history.
After all, what do you think drew fans to the Roman Coliseum?

New Mexico fat cat weighs in at nearly 40 pounds
This Thursday, April 19, 2012 photo provided by [auth] the Santa Fe Animal Shelter Meow, a 2-year-old tabby tops the scale at over 39 pounds at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter in Santa Fe, N.M.. Meow, came to the shelter after his elderly owner could no longer care for the feline. The shelter plans to put the cat on a special diet so he can lose weight gradually. Adult cats typically weigh between 7 and 12 pounds. (AP Photo/Santa Fe Animal Shelter, Ben Swan)
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — This cat doesn't slink. It waddles.
The orange and white tabby named Meow tips the scales at nearly 40 pounds, and the Santa Fe Animal Shelter in New Mexico is on a mission to get him back into shape.
Shelter spokesman Ben Swan says Meow's 87-year-old owner could no longer take care of him, so the 2-year-old cat was turned over to a southeastern New Mexico shelter that called Santa Fe for help.
Meow is going on a special diet so he can shed some pounds and go up for adoption.
Swan says the cat has a sweet demeanor but can't play for very long because he loses his breath due to the extra weight.
Swan says it's unclear how Meow got so big in his short life.

Meow actually came from the Roswell Humane Society and Roswell Animal Services. We transferred him to Santa Fe, so he could get into a foster home, to lose weight, so then, he could find a new loving home. He will be featured on the Today Show on Tuesday (tomorrow) morning.

Payment for Ecosystem Services
The three Guianas are the greenest countries on Earth, cloaked in rainforest over a staggering 80-98% of their land areas. Yet pressures (small scale gold mining, expanding road networks, and large scale timber harvesting) are accelerating. If standing forests, fresh water, and rich biodiversity cannot provide sufficient revenues to these developing nations, the ecosystem services they provide will be lost in the pursuit of development models from more advanced economies.
Under the component Payment for Ecosystem Services WWF Guianas is supporting initiatives that promote sustainably use of the tropical rainforest; especially in the areas of REDD+; freshwater provision and eco tourism.

In a fast-changing world, here's five things you'll need to keep up with in 2012.
1 Prices are rising
WE'VE had a fantastic run with cheap travel in the past few years but expect to pay a bit more in the next 12 months.
Strong demand for business travel is expected to drive up prices of both airfares and hotels.
American Express predicts economy class airfares will rise between 6 per cent and 10 per cent on short-haul routes and 5 per cent to 9 per cent on long-haul routes, despite airline competition and the growth of low-cost carriers.
Hotel rates are also on the rise, with American Express predicting mid-range hotels will increase their rates by 3 per cent to 8 per cent and upper-scale hotels will add between 6 per cent and 10 per cent to their prices.
Global forecasts by Carlson Wagonlit Travel show we can also expect to pay more at overseas hotels, with modest increases in North America, Europe and Africa and increases of about 10 per cent in Latin America.
2 Channels are changing
Travel deals and information will be released in different ways as social media and other technology-based channels continue to grow.
Hot deals are increasingly being sent out through channels such as Twitter and Facebook and many are available only for a day, meaning travellers must be actively engaged with the technology to benefit.
The annual Frommer's Unlimited Digital Content Trends Survey found two-thirds of travel companies planned to spend more of their marketing budgets on social media this year.
The Global Trends Report, which was recently released by World Travel Market and Euromonitor International, says 2012 will also bring the "gamification" of the travel industry.
With growth in online sales outpacing growth through traditional channels, travel providers are looking for new ways to grab travellers' attention and generate brand loyalty.
"Gaming is used to encourage consumers to share their experiences, photos and videos to help generate brand awareness and loyalty," the report says.
"Gaming dynamics work through the offer of points, badges, status levels, as well as real gifts such as trips or air miles."
3 The Chinese are coming
Don't be surprised if you start to see tourist signs in Chinese as well as English, or Chinese dishes popping up on menus where you don't expect to see them.
Tourism destinations around the world are setting their sights on Chinese travellers and operators are scrambling to cater for what they consider a lucrative but demanding market.
China is already Australia's most important tourism market in economic terms and there are estimates its value could almost triple by 2020.
Big hotel chains are training their staff and rolling out menus and activities designed for the Chinese market, while many smaller operators are attending workshops to learn what changes they need to make.
Just as we saw a big emphasis on catering for Japanese travellers in the 1980s, we can expect China-fication in 2012 and beyond.
4 The future is near (field)
If you haven't yet heard of near field communication (NFC), you certainly will.
Last year was widely touted as the year of the mobile phone for the travel industry but there is so much more to come. NFC, or the ability to transfer information and money simply by waving your smartphone near a receiving device, is expected to turn smartphones into everything from boarding passes to a way to pay for duty-free goods, without the need for paperwork or plastic cards.
Travellers in the US state of New Jersey are now able to purchase train tickets by waving their phones in front of a sensor and, many say, the technology is likely to spread quickly.
Airlines could potentially use the technology to automatically check passengers in when they arrive in the airport terminal, or to check whether they have made it to the boarding gate.
Passengers might use it to get their boarding passes, pay excess baggage charges, claim their frequent flyer points or enter airport lounges.
It remains to be seen what investments will be made during the course of the year but the technology is ready to go.
5 Good deeds are contagious
The World Travel Market Global Trends Report identifies "luxury without guilt" as a key trend coming out of Europe in the wake of the global economic crisis.
The report says upmarket travellers are happily enjoying luxury breaks by choosing more ethical providers, or trips that give them the opportunity to give something back.
"Voluntourism" is not a new trend but it has tended to be adopted by backpackers and other young travellers on dedicated volunteer trips.
A British travel agency, Kuoni, recently released a collection of socially and environmentally responsible luxury holidays that include volunteering stints or activities such as meeting farmers who have been helped by Fairtrade organisations.
The Global Trends Report says animal welfare and environmental concerns are also meriting more attention in the devising of menus at upmarket properties.

I think make too much about former players giving information to their new team.

I think make too much about former players giving information to their new team.
I know the Chargers are signing JJ's checks now, but do you think in his heart he's pulling for d-bags like Turner, Rivers and AJ Smith over his former team? I'm sure he'll go all out but I don't see him pulling out old playbooks to get one over on the Ravens when the Chargers season is over. McClain and Gaither seemed to harbor grudges but not sure how much intel they provide.
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk
iirc Gaither is injured reservist?
more worried about JJ's play than his espionage.
Gaither and McLain are two years removed from the team. Any info they can give they already gave last year.
This is a media creation and that's it. A coordinator will use 97% game film when scouting another team.
I am referring to what guys like JJ and Carr saw in practice against our offense regarding our offensive players' tendencies. The fact that they didn't play under Pees is irrelevant. I agree film is the go-to for studying an opponent, but ex-players also know their teammates' tendencies they can share in game planning. I am sure I am making too much of this, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
The biggest worry to me is not the ex-players....it's Norv Turner vs Cam. He should be able to read Cam like a book (since he runs Norv's offense basically) and we all know how Cam's ability to adjust is about as fast as molasses going uphill.
That last part hit the nail on the head. Cam's inability to make proper in-game adjustments is frustrating as hell. He might have to do that today considering the Chargers' run defense is pretty stout.
It's that inside knowledge that Franklin brings of the 2003 Ravens that's the real difference ;)

QE--yes archery today. We had to leave by 6am for an hour and a half drive to be there for 2 of the 3 kids to shoot at 8am (have to be there at half hour early to check in). The kids shot well and we were back home by about 1. I have been dragging most of the day. We haven't done much but watch a couple movies. DH had lunch (spaghetti and garlic bread) ready when we got home so that was nice.
A cake sounds good. I cheated and bought sugar cookies today since I didn't feel up to baking.
No time in the clubhouse today, maybe tomorrow afternoon...
I had another full day. I spent th'smornin' lookin' for nautical fabrics. Yesterday DDIL & DS said that they had decided ta do the baby's room with a nautical theme. I know that DDIL has a bunch o' blankets left over from the first boy. (I know 'cause I made 'em.) but I wanted ta make this baby 6 that were his own. DDIL's baby shower was taday at 2:00 & I thought I'd git the fabric for the shower & then make 'em later. There isn't a fabric in Midland, w/a nautical theme, ta be found. I did stop at an estate sale while I was out but that only took about 10 min.s. (I bought some silk scarves & silk robes.) I finally bought some underwater fabric, enough for 1 WOF square blanket, & used it ta wrap some diapers. I then rushed ta the shower.
After the shower was over DH took me out ta eat, Mexican food. http://www.quiltinghaven.com/Smileys/default/smiley.gif Then we bought a movie at Hastings & watched it. I thought I'd git caught up on here while the movie was goin', but Turtle (my cat) decided ta sit in my lap the whole time. He just got out o' my lap & has gone ta bed w/DH. Turtle still feels bad. He had a cat scratch abscess on his cheek & was in the hospital for 2 days.
I can't believe how fast this day went.
Oh let's rush on over to sunny California for some yummy cake to celebrate those 2 babies Birthdays! Each day they are getting stronger--Oma.
Made a road trip yesterday to my aunt's estate sale. Brought home a couple of lovelies! This Martha Washington Sewing table--finish is beautiful. Pic shows a dusty top.Attachment 392773 And an Vintage Singer ($20). Serial number says it was made in 1928. Now to check out how it really works! Last hour drive home was snow covered roads so I am ready to call it a day! Will post more on the Singer later.
Yes Anael, soda is baking soda.
Mirabelle, a broiler is usually at the top of an electric oven. (Or it can be a separate part of a gas oven) You move the rack up as high as you can under the burner unit and turn the oven to broil. It gets the frosting mixture real hot and bubbly, then you take it out, but be careful not to burn it!
QuiltE, the cake is not heavy, but it is not light like an angel food cake. I like it because you don't have to get a mixer out, it turns out real nice just stirring the ingredients together. My aunt once told me to mix things with a pastry blender if you don't want to use a mixer, and I'll tell you, that works great!
Glad the BB got there Carrie! My son and his three little boys (age 7, 9 and 11) all shoot bow and arrows. The older boys were in a tournament in Sacramento a few weeks ago, and our son also shoots in tournaments.
Thanks JeanieG on my over it is under the oven and we call it the grill.. You learn so much here..
Have to figure out my new camera then I can post some pics of what is on my new design wall:eek:
I meant oven not over but you knew I meant right
I meant to compliment OK on her sewing cabinet, its beautiful, wish I had my grandmothers treadle sewing machine. I remember the decorative legs and the beautiful draws on it and I wasn't allowed to touch it
I am trying to do this in a hurry cause I have to cook dinner, Roast Pork and all the trimmings. who wants to join me ...... dinner will be served in the RV in about an hour
I'll join you for dinner Mirabelle, love roast pork! Glad we got the broiler/grill figured out!

For all you old timers on the board, there is a movie named for Jacoby.
Mother, Juggs, and Speed!
Jacoby is a bad ass Mother @&?$;/',
He did buy a Juggs machine
And his Speed is unreal!!
All Angles: Jacoby Jones 108 Yard Kick Return
56 yard touchdown reception,
I was one of the guys, Texans' fan, who didn't want to get rid of Jacoby. My wife & I are still huge Jacoby fans. We like his story, poor kid from LA, from a small unknown school, but made the most of his talent & so far, hasn't let the money change him.
He's all about football & worked on his game which has improved tremendously his last few years in Houston. His stats have come down, but that's not his fault. As far as the body catching goes, the two plays in question were two balls that he over-ran, they were slightly underthrown, & they were both contested. Not too many receivers are going to pluck those out of the air.
He's still probably a little slow (in the head) & I imagine he wasn't used much as a WR with you guys because he hadn't got the play book & chemistry with Flacco down yet. But if Flacco can keep putting the ball in front of him, something Schaub will never do, Jacoby will continue to go get it.
Like I said, I didn't want to see him go. I know/knew we didn't/don't have another play maker on the outside & with Andre getting older, we desperately need someone other than Andre to stretch the field. In several games, including the last three we played against the Ravens with Jacoby, he'd completely rip the top off a defense whether he was getting targeted or not.
Then when he catches it underneath, his return skills makes him a threat to score.
I think we let him go, more because of his cap hit than the muffed punt thing. Yeah, that upset a lot of Texans' fans, but our F.O. has made it pretty clear they could care less what we think & are going to do what it takes to win the best way they see fit.
In my heart of heart, I think we "knew" the salary cap was going to go up last season & was caught totally off guard when it didn't. We had to make some tough decisions & we had to make them fast. Doesn't make sense to straight up cut 2/5 of the best offensive line in football.
You guys have a good football player who has the potential to be a very good football player for a long time. You'll probably also be our nemesis over the next 4 to 5 years. Still, I wish him the best. I'm a Bolden fan, a Torrey Smith fan, a Ray Rice, Vonta Leech, Ray Lewis, TSizzle, Pollard, Reed, Ngata, & Yanda fan. But I have no problem rooting for you to get your a55 whupped when you line up across from them boys on Kirby.
Congratulations on your Championship, congratulations on Jacoby Jones.
But we're going to kick your a55 in your house in 2013.
I bet you Flacco underthrew it to make it look like a punt so that Jacoby would catch it better. lol.
Caught it like the mile high miracle throw. You know it's a catch when he does that. Cradling the ball like that , makes me laugh(you know he is thinking about not dropping it). If Flacco develops an ability to put the ball in the receivers hands, with the receiver still running forward, watch out.
Suggs has named him "dragonfly". Dragonfly Jones!

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal speaks during the opening of the state legislature at the state capitol in Baton Rouge on Monday. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Friday, June 06, 2014 11:51 AM
You had to be there to understand and appreciate the irony of the situation. Gov. Bobby Jindal and representatives of the oil and gas industry and large landowners were at the state Capitol Monday celebrating passage of a bill that gives the energy industry almost total immunity from legacy lawsuits. It just happened to be on the same day that reports surfaced saying the state is doing a poor job of regulating and inspecting oil and gas wells.
Irony is defined as "a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result." This occasion fit that definition perfectly. How could an industry just accused of failing to clean up environmental problems caused by improperly operated wells be so bold as to celebrate getting a free pass?
This was no wild accusation by an outside party. Legislative auditor Daryl Purpera, an extremely credible and unbiased source, released the report. It laid everything on the line.
When oil and gas companies abandon and fail to plug wells, the state has to pick up the environmental costs and the expense of plugging those wells.
The report said 53 percent of the oil and gas wells in Louisiana weren't inspected within a three-year guideline set by the state. And over 2,800 orphaned wells in the state hadn't been plugged as of July 2013.
There's more. Louisiana has only required 25 percent of the state's 57,819 wells to be covered by financial security agreements. Those agreements provide funding to cover the cost of plugging wells that are abandoned by the oil and gas industry.
The Times-Picayune said Texas, Oklahoma and California, other leading oil and gas production states, are doing a much better job. And Louisiana's production fees aren't sufficient to cover the costs of problems caused by those abandoned wells, the auditor said.
Who is at fault for all of those failures? Some of the blame belongs to the Legislature, but the primary responsibility rests with the Office of Conservation within the state Department of Natural Resources.
Nothing was said about the auditor's report on oil and gas wells until a television reporter asked Jindal if it was a good day to be signing an oil industry bill. The governor and spokesmen for DNR blamed the problems on the need for new technology and accountability, and Jindal said all of the issues will be addressed.
Maybe they will, but maybe they won't. DNR doesn't have a stellar record when it comes to enforcing rules and regulations. A department spokesman was asked at a House committee hearing during the session why it hadn't pursued the oil and gas companies on behalf of the state.
"We do not have any evidence that the (oil and gas) permits have been violated," he said.
The legislative auditor has turned up some extremely credible evidence showing abandoned oil and gas wells are a serious problem. Lax enforcement falls squarely on the shoulders of DNR. And that brings us to the bill those folks were celebrating Monday.
Senate Bill 667 by Sen. Robert Adley, R-Benton, is the one the governor signed with much fanfare. He then handed pens to those marking the occasion with him. There were smiles and hand-shakes all around after each bold signature.
The Adley bill puts DNR in charge of coming up with a plan to clean up oil well contamination that occurred many years ago. The legislation pretty much kills legacy lawsuits filed by property owners who inherited land that needs to be cleaned up. If they don't like DNR's cleanup plan, they can take the issue to court. It's a tough process for small landowners who don't have the resources to pursue legal action.
Some of the oil and gas representatives who showed up to celebrate the Adley bill signing have taken on a more conciliatory mood since Monday. Don Briggs, president of the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, told the Lafayette Daily Advertiser he believes his members should pay double the amount of fees needed to plug and clean up abandoned wells. Richard Metcalf, environmental affairs director for the Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association, told the newspaper his members would also be willing to pay higher fees.
In a surprise development, both men said fees won't be easy to increase because of Jindal's opposition to raising fees. Does that mean the state's taxpayers are going to have to continue to pay for plugging those wells and cleaning up the contamination?
As I sat there in the press conference room on the fourth floor of the Capitol Monday watching that bill signing, I wondered why the governor didn't just postpone the event. The audit that was so highly critical of DNR made a mockery of what he was doing. He also had to cancel plans to sign a bill that would kill a lawsuit filed against 97 oil, gas and pipeline companies. That one is posing some serious legal problems.
True to form, Jindal rolled right along as though everything is right with the world.
"... This bill will help deter frivolous claims and ensure our legal system is fair for those that need it most," he said. "Many have come together to work on this bill, and I am proud to sign it into law."
You have to wonder what those who lost their right to sue think about that. They weren't part of the compromise Jindal was praising. Only the big boys sat at the table.
Maybe those are the things you have to say when you are running for president and want the rest of the country to only think positive about life in Louisiana. It is a great state, but it needs a lot of attention it isn't getting from the political arena.

Absorbing Plastic & Acrylic Filters
Each of the different materials used for absorption filters, plastics and glass, does have advantages and disadvantages with respect to protection and comfort and also possible damage symptoms are quite different when hit by a laser. Plastic filters will carbonize at high power densities and can be quickly penetrated.
Laser safety eyewear made from plastics are especially characterised by low weight and therefore features a high wearing comfort. In most cases it consists of a single shield with temples which can be used in dependence of the design also over prescription glasses (OTG). Some manufacturers (for example laservision) offer also very sportive single shield designs with a very good field of view. But there are of course also spectacles available with two curved filters and good fit.

Rajasthan: Need of Lifeline medicine stores questioned
- Shahnawaz Akhtar, DNA
- Nov 29, 2012, 06:16 AM IST
Jaipur: Almost a year ago, Lifeline, a chain of medical stores in government hospitals that sold medicines at subsidised rates, was indeed the lifeline for many. But this 'Lifeline', which could have been a boon, has invited sharp criticism from all quarters.
Chief minister free medicine scheme that came into effect a year ago, is also in line of fire. The condemnation for retailing medicines through Lifeline stores in Rajasthan further escalated with SMS Hospital's decision to sell around 2,000 types of medicines through Lifeline windows.
Amid all criticism, SMS might be thinking of retracting its plans, but that hasn't stopped activists from protesting against Lifeline stores.
Many believe with the implementation of free drug scheme, the existence of Lifeline stores is redundant. There are over 50 lifeline stores in state in medical colleges and district hospitals. "But there is no need for any other store after implementation of free drug scheme," Dr Narendra Gupta of Prayas, an NGO said.
Dr Gupta and other activists had recently met health minister AA Khan to voice reservations against SMS Hospital's plan of procuring oral medicines for its Lifeline stores.
SMS alone has six such stores, while there are several others in district hospitals across state. Dr Gupta questions, "Under the free medicine scheme, there is a provision to buy medicine from outside if it is unavailable in hospitals. Where is the need of Lifeline stores?" "There might be some use of Lifeline stores in medical college hospitals but in district hospitals there is absolutely no need," he said.
Defending Lifeline shops, SMS Hospital MS Dr Virendra Singh said, "Procurement of 2,000 oral medicines to sell in Lifeline stores is under consideration but Lifeline stores help patients get drug cheaper."

Younis leads Pakistan to 6-336 v Windies
Page Tools
Younis Khan hit his ninth Test hundred to guide Pakistan to 6-336, and West Indies paceman Corey Collymore grabbed four wickets, as neither side conceded an inch in their second and final Test today.
Younis fashioned a resolute 106 to lead a Pakistan recovery, but Collymore gained bounce and movement from the hard, true Sabina Park pitch to snare four wickets that left Pakistan in a solid position when stumps were drawn on the opening day.
Fortune favoured Younis when slip fielder Devon Smith dropped him on 47 off Chris Gayle, but he quickly regained his composure, and proceeded to make the most of his reprieve.
Younis drove Reon King off the backfoot through mid-off for a single to reach his milestone, but he was one of three wickets that Collymore carried away in a purposeful spell of seam bowling that provided him with figures of 4-55.
Collymore led the West Indies fightback, after Younis added 87 for the third wicket with captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, who scored 50, and 117 for the fourth wicket with Asim Kamal, who made 51.
Collymore had Younis caught at gully driving off the backfoot, after the Pakistan vice-captain smote 14 boundaries from 190 balls in a shade over four hours.
Four overs later, Collymore bowled Kamal off the inside edge when the batsman essayed a backfoot drive. The left-hander hit seven fours from 122 balls a little over 150 minutes.
After beating Shahid Afridi several times outside the off-stump with perfectly pitched balls that moved away, Collymore celebrated when the batsman finally nibbled at another tempting delivery, and was caught behind for 33.
West Indies could have tightened their grip more, when Kamran Akmal was caught behind on 16 off Tino Best, who was crestfallen when umpire Darrell Hair bellowed for a no-ball that looked questionable on television replays.
Akmal, who is not out on 19, kept his composure and batted through close to 45 minutes to add 38, unbroken, for the seventh wicket with Abdul Razzaq, who is 24 not out on, to slow down the West Indies.
Younis in concert with Inzamam, the two most senior Pakistani batsmen in the line-up, had spearheaded the recovery operation prior to the visitors taking lunch on 2-102.
Pakistan, who chose to bat on a hard, true Sabina Park pitch, slid to 2-43 before Younis and Inzamam brought some stability to the innings.
Opening batsman Yasir Hameed was caught at first slip off Powell for 13, and fellow opener Shoaib Malik was caught behind off Collymore in bizarre circumstances - the batsman choosing to walk, despite a restrained appeal from the West Indies' fielders.
By the time Pakistan had progressed to 3-202, Younis was within sight of his milestone.
He and Kamal had consolidated Pakistan's position, after the visitors had lost Inzamam in the first hour following the lunch interval.
Inzamam hit seven fours from 60 balls in just under one-and-a-half hours. He was eventually caught at slip off Chris Gayle, edging an arm-ball when playing defensively forward.
West Indies, who were beaten 2-0 at home by South Africa in their most recent Test series and lost eight consecutive One-day Internationals to the Proteas and Pakistan, lead the two-Test series 1-0, after winning the first Test at Bridgetown by 276 runs.

Windows 8 CP SundayOld posts Tagged Old posts, Old posts April 8th, 2012
It's back, resurrected from a DVD-RW after the slightly unfortunate removal while building a bootable Vista flash drive installation a while back. So far, I have just run the basic installation. After I have finished here, I will go back into it and set it up a little better. I still don't like it and will not be forced or coerced into liking it either.
Having said that, I feel that I should have it installed somewhere.
I don't dual boot or VM (apart from XP Mode), preferring to run a separate installation to which I can switch by selecting an alternative boot device. It is nothing against Windows 8 that I do it this. I just don't like to create complications. When I accidentally removed Windows 8, it had absolutely no adverse effect on anything else, no multi-boot files to edit, etc..
As usual, to install any OS on my production machine involves reverting from AHCI to IDE mode, a touch annoying because forgetting to do this results in staring at a machine that will do NOTHING. If you are wondering why I bother with AHCI bearing in mind that I do not run the complexities of RAID, it is because I have an X-Port built into the case which is useful for virus checking client hard drives before letting them boot up in the wild.
One thing I don't understand is why two of the disks have decided to take each others disk # in Disk Management. It makes no difference operationally and thankfully, the Windows 8 disk is still Disk #1 'ere I should create another bootable flash drive without first checking the numbers of the drives..

Grading advice
<< < (4/4)
Another way to encourage the whole class to consider more creative options is to bring on some of the more inventive answers to discuss...so go over the question and correct answer and then say, "some of you had really inventive approaches" and discuss those too (with the permission of those students). It could be that others thought of those solutions but were afraid to get the answer wrong so went with the safe answer. You could open the doors for them a tad.
Quote from: aysecik on February 08, 2013, 12:37:35 am
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! It is difficult for me to grade on the B for good work A for exceptional type scale, because most questions are not as open ended.
Who ever said that all problems must be graded on the same scale? I often classify a problem as open-ended/creative or closed/straightfoward before applying my rubric. Anyone who gives the complete answer for closed/straightforward gets full credit. However, anyone who gives a textbook answer to an open-ended/creative problem gets a B; an A is for those who have gone beyond repeating what they have been told.
I've not had any problems doing this in engineering and physics classes. Students seem to understand different kinds of problems better than they understand arbitrary "he got a bonus/extra credit/plus point and I didn't" grading.
Thanks for the ideas! Yes, I could incorporate creative answers in class (perhaps when the idea they incorporated comes up in another section, even). And polly_mer, perhaps I'll do that in the exam. Too much work to change my pre-prepared homeworks at this point in time and with my existing commitments, especially given they count for 15% of grade total (10 assignments) - I doubt that will create as much problem. For those, I will simply say you can check the model answer, and if you put in something beyond that, I'll give you an extra point (so it's not subjective). These students seem pretty easy-going anyway.

I really enjoyed reading these new posts, brought back some great memories for us of Vietnam (cafe 43 stuffed squid..mmmm) Cambodia (I think the same boy was our tour guide also!) and of course Bali and Fiji. Seems like a lifetime ago we were travelling now that we're settled in New Zealand for the forseeable future! Glad you both had a fantastic trip, hopefully we'll bump into you again someday! x

Where I stayed
Similar to Prego in Italian or Aloha in Hawaiian, Bula is a Fijian word that is imbued with a variety of meanings, each of which depend on the situation. Bula (pronounced boolah) means "life" and is commonly used as a greeting, meaning "hello!". Using bula in this way is to express wishes for one's good health. The full saying is "Ni sa bula vinaka," (pronounced as nee-sahm-bula-veenaka) which equates to "wishing you happiness and good health."
After arranging our island hopping transport with the help of Pela, the huge Fijian that picked us up from the airport, we boarded a large catamaran for a week plus of island hopping in the Yasawa and Mamanuca Island groups. Our first stop was Bounty Island, known locally as Kadavulailai. Bounty was a tiny dot of sand and palm trees a mere two meters above the ocean and small - we easily walked its entire shoreline in under a half an hour. The weather was windy and mildly stormy but I was able to go sailing on a tiny catamaran in a brief sunny period. The food was all inclusive (all the lodgings were setup this way as there is nothing else on the island) and delicious with fresh fruit at most meals. The pineapples and papayas were juicy and deliciously sweet and more importantly plentiful. During the evening meals, which took place only feet from the waterline, a highlight was watching the small black-tipped reef sharks prowl along and surf the waves for food. The lights from the dining room attracted fish, which in turn attracted the sharks, and at one point we could see six sharks cruising the waves less than 10 feet from us.
The snorkeling at Oarsmen's was also amazing. Similar to the reef at Manta Ray, there was a reef out front crowded with a myriad of colorful fish and corals. At one point we saw a large eel and near the shallows we played in another school of 1000+ fish. A highlight for Adar was a pod of curious cuttlefish that investigated us as we swam around them. A neat thing about cuttlefish is they can swim forward and backward, side to side, and up and down all the while changing colors. After about three minutes they lost interest in us and swam away. I am not sure but I think their dance and color show was their way of saying "Bula!".
Another day we visited the sava-i-lau caves just to the north of the Nacula. These limestone caves are half flooded with rain water and many side caves are accessible via the central chamber with vertical walls extending about 60 to the sky above and 30 below the water line. We visited one of these side caves whose large access was underwater. To get into the cave you had to dive beneath a rocky outcrop and swim into total blackness guided only but the light of the guide in front of you. It sounds scary than it actually was as we were only underwater for 5-6 seconds. Once your eyes adjusted on the other side you could see the large opening in front of and beneath you glowing blue green from the light on the other side. After an otherworldly swim to the far end of the cave we stopped to hear the Fijian lore about Uluitini, the ten-headed god of gods, that lives in the cave and the eel and two fish the did not ever grow old by living in the cave's restorative waters. On arriving back in the main chamber, we found a group of young boys who were scaling the walls and jumping back into the water. Feeling young again, I scaled about 20' up the vertical wall and counting to seven with the excited boys (dua-rua-tolu-va-lima-ono-VITU) I leapt with excitement into the clear water below. BULA!
Bula Vinaka (Thank you) Fiji for many wonderful memories and a solid week of smiles and laughter.

Hello to everybody
After years of avoiding BM's I decided to take the plunge and go for one. This is after years of owning Vauxhalls, especially SRI's, and suffering their poor quality.
I must admit I am indeed pleasantly suprised with my 323. I know it's old (2000 reg) but it's to my maximum budget. A genuine 62K on the clock, but left to stand for several months, hence the need for a little tlc.
Have owned this for just 2 weeks now and have replaced filters, engine oil and diff oil so far. As well as checking brakes etc etc. Must admit though that they are not the easiest of cars to work on, and I am not a fan of leaving servicing to 15k (the filters I took off were falling apart and after 11K only)
I need to at some time reset the service light - once I can find out how to do it!
I am now in the process of cleaning wheels, painting calipers, killing underbody rust spots and carnauba waxing (brilliant stuff)
As I am keen on quiet cars I like to cure rattles etc but must admit I haven't noticed any yet.
Thats it for now folks.

Lifeguards Needed
The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation is training and hiring men and women to supervise 53 pools and seven beaches during the summer months. In the past, the Parks Department has had to close areas of the beach due to a lifeguard shortage. This year, the Parks Department has expanded its efforts to hire lifeguards. Free lifeguard training for Rockaway residents is available at Far Rockaway High School. The training program will run through July, or until the Parks Department has sufficient personnel to staff the swimming facilities.
In addition to learning basic lifeguard skills, lifeguards learn how to work as part of a team in a variety of high-pressure situations. These lifetime skills are invaluable and transferable to any profession lifeguards may seek in the future. Not only will participants get in shape, but employment is guaranteed for all those who pass the test.
The minimum qualifications are that participants must be 16 years of age by the completion of the course and have eyesight no worse than 30/20 in one eye and 40/20 in the other.
Contact the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation for more information and applications.

do tweeters just give you more treble?
Thats is correct. The tweeter is only ment to produce high frequencies only so all your cymbals and hi hats and the s's will sound crisp and clear. They are worth it trust me
I didn't get tweeters installed in my truck because my 2-way JL Audio speakers have a tweeter built into them. So there was no NEED for separate tweeters if I wasn't looking to set off car alarms with the sound. An amplifier powering only your speakers will be the best upgrade in my opinion versus getting new tweeters installed. Adding more tweeters is nice, but adding an amp to the speakers you currently have is even nicer.
Theirs probably no need for them but the sound does change when you have the tweeters aimed at your leg instead of your head. Most people wont hear the difference because they just crank up the high end and the low end. Forcing the speaker to work a little harde. But im sure the JL's can handle it

I haven't hunted waterfowl in 10 years ever since I became disabled,for ducks I used steel #4,for geese I used either steel BB or BBB,they have come out with new stuff since then,but I just couldn't see paying over 50 cents per shot and back then the "Estate" shells were running about $6 box.
Your State should produce maps with public hunting access locations and any specific regs for that area,one thing I found was it usually took a couple seasons of hunting and talking to other hunters to figure out the best area unless you are lucky enough to find an old hunter to go with.
Also once you get a map of locations before the season opens go do some scouting with binoculars and figure out where your going,on public land it's first come first serve so we used to get there about 1-2 hours before shooting times to get a spot and set decoys,can't remember how many times we had hunters walking in to find a spot right at shooting hours and incoming birds spotting them and flying off,or either having no decoys so they set up where they can shoot at birds coming in on yours,or throwing theirs out close enough that when they shoot your getting peppered with falling shot.
GOOD LUCK,I really miss it and I know my Chocolate Lab did too,she lived to retrieve until old age started setting in

2 Timothy 2:23 - 25 (NIV) - 23Again I say, don't get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. 24 A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. 25 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people's hearts, and they will learn the truth.

FBC Jax Academy Headmaster Gone
Daniels was hired in 2008 to head up the school that was launched the fall of 2009. According to the academy website, Marlene Anderson is now the school's headmaster and no mention is made of Daniels.
No official word has come from FBC Jax about the change.
The Watchdog wishes Mr. Daniels and his family well, and hopes they are doing fine.
10 comments:
"No official word has come from FBC" . . .No surprise, just another sign of why wise members are leaving the downtown church.
What an insult to the members of FBC Jax to know their own preacher is going to be a guest speaker at Calvin Carr's church the Sunday evening prior to Thanksgiving.
Mac has never been a full time preacher and or given 100% of his time feeding his own flock. Just like Mr.Disagnio described on his pathetic perception of the role of deacons on his Twitter, "the deacons have got Mac's back."
And they say this blog and we who comment is nothing but "beauty shop" gossip. :>)

Word is his "management style" was not working, whatever that means.
Those of us that know Dr.Hypercrite and his merry band of thugs realize Jim probably tried to implement his own ideas,not theirs and got the boot.
Member FBC Jax, hanging on by a thread.
- November 10, 2009 at 12:47 PM
I am sorry to hear this news. Mr. Daniels, and his family, were one of the few bright spots still left at FBC Jax. It was hard to criticize the school as long as Jim was "in charge."
Now, maybe it is one of "Team Brunson" that in fact is running the school.
Another sad day for FBC Jax. Anyone know if Jim left on his own, or was asked to leave, or was "called" someplace else like Barton, Pigg, etc.?
- November 10, 2009 at 4:36 PM
This is a great big "nunya." Mind your own business.
There are many bright spots at that academy and starting with the students and teachers that have done nothing to you personally. You do not know what the circumstances are.
If you want to know what happened, why don't you call the academy and ask them?//.. What? Not your style to be upfront? Come on show some backbone. Here is an opportunity to dispel the myths, rumors, and accusations of your cowardice.
You should pray for the teachers and students.

"If you want to know what happened, why don't you call the academy and ask them?//"
Sure, we know "Christians" always do things above board. Ask them? Sure. I know you would and believe the answer no matter what the strange circumstances are surrounding the exit. Because you are a good little follower.
- November 11, 2009 at 6:30 AM
If you want to know what happened, why don't you call the academy and ask them?//.. What? Not your style to be upfront?
First Baptist Administation are the ones who are not upfront. Just not their style.
As far as "mind your own business" . . .just whose money do you think is being paid to run this school. Tuition does not cover the cost of operation, so excuse me, it is our business as one would think they wouldn't have to read about the change by reading it on a blog.
I must have missed something - did anyone ask the question "what happened"?
We do wish the Daniels family well, he did a fine job and now all anyone has to do is come in and piggyback all of his hard work to carry on. Too bad there was not an opportunity to say "thank you".
Yes, another sad day for FBC Jax. Right, the ugliness continues and it's not because of this blog!

If you want to know what happened, why don't you call the academy and ask them?
Sounds so simple doesnt' it? Problem is, no way they give any answers to the WD. So one of YOU, will have to ask. Unless YOU are afraid...or just don't care.

The College of Engineering and Applied Science at CU-Boulder has published a new book on the life and contributions of former CU president and civil engineering professor Roland Rautenstraus.
"RAUT: Teacher, Leader, Engineer," by Richard Weingardt, traces the life of CU's 12th president from his roots as a minister's son growing up in small town Nebraska and Kansas to his tremendous impact on the University of Colorado and on the state, through its transportation and educational systems, and land-use policies.
Proceeds from the book sales will go to support a memorial teaching professorship and a student scholarship in Rautenstraus' name. Rautenstraus died on Dec. 25, 1997, at the age of 73 after 50 years of service to the university.
After receiving a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering in 1946, he joined the civil engineering department as an instructor. He later earned his master's degree and became chairman of the department and served in a variety of administrative posts before being named president. He served as president from 1974 to 1980, and then returned to the faculty where he taught courses in transportation engineering until the time of his death.
Rautenstraus was a popular professor and a successful president, who led the university through its evolution from a single campus with several extension centers to a four-campus system. He took the helm during turbulent times and distinguished himself by his calm and even-handed leadership and his genuine respect for students.
Weingardt, a professional engineer and former student of Rautenstraus', writes that "Raut" was the first and only engineer to ever lead the University of Colorado, and he searches for an answer to the question, "Why did he step down?"
Weingardt, CEO of a successful Colorado-based consulting engineering firm, is the author of several other books, including "Forks in the Road" (1998), which focuses on the potential of engineers to be leaders in society and the leadership traits that are exemplified by Rautenstraus.
U.S. Senator Robert Dole, who grew up with Rautenstraus in Russell, Kan., wrote a forward to the book.
Individuals will receive a complimentary book with a contribution of $50 or more to the Rautenstraus Memorial Endowment, made payable to the CU Foundation, Campus Box 422, Boulder, CO 80309. Multiple copies may be purchased from Jacqueline Enterprises, 3010 S. Garfield St., Denver, CO 80210.
