87 MPH Wind in Boulder, Colorado
Yesterday I posted about a high wind warning that was issued for Boulder, Colorado beginning at 11:00 p.m. last night and lasting through 5:00 a.m. Thursday.
Well, here it is, 7:19 p.m. on Wednesday and we're right in the middle of it. Ugh. I'm exhausted.
Trees are down, trucks have overturned, we've had a grass fire and the city is on accident alert because of it (that's a first…until now, accident alerts have only been issued during snowstorms).
Knock on wood, the house is still standing. It's going to be (another) long night.
Romney Camp Edits Negative Wording Out of Detroit News Endorsement
Is this the ultimate in arrogance or the ultimate in a whole lot of nobody-will-ever-find out stupidity? I think it's both:
There are a lot of kind words for Mitt Romney on the Detroit News editorial page Wednesday. But by trying to hide the few words that weren't very nice, the Romney campaign could lose the narrative — and the goodwill of the paper.
The News endorsed Romney with less than a week to go in the Michigan primary race. It's a must-win state for Romney and polls show he needs all the help he can get when it comes to convincing Republican Michiganders to get on board. All in all it was a nice editorial for the campaign (subhead: "State native offers the best resume, temperament and electability of the remaining Republican field"). But there was one graph where the paper took strong issue with Romney over the issue of the auto bailout, which has dogged him since the Michigan race began in earnest.
The Romney campaign apparently felt it best to drop that part down the memory hole. In a blast email version of the News editorial sent out to reporters Wednesday morning from the Romney press shop, this paragraph from the editorial was missing:
We disagree with Romney on a point vital to Michigan — his opposition to the bailout of the domestic automobile industry. Romney advocated for a more traditional bankruptcy process, while we believe the bridge loans provided by the federal government in the fall of 2008 were absolutely essential to the survival of General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Corp. The issue isn't a differentiator in the GOP primary, since the entire field opposed the rescue effort.
When a guy who's trying to sell himself as being wise enough and confident and tough enough to be the leader of the free world does something like this, it
's jaw dropping. Because in the end, he looks like an insecure, deceitful 16-year-old who has no ethics or morals; who can't defend what he did, and who cares only about being the most popular kid in school, no matter what it takes.
"Bob's For Jobs?"
This would be Virginia Governor Bob — let's rape women with an ultrasound machine — McDonnell's campaign slogan:
145 Bears Shot Last Year in Area Surrounding Canada's Tar Sand Oil Fields
If the people in charge of extracting oil from Canada's tar sands can't do a better job than this of disposing of their damn garbage, I hate to think what other kinds of messes they're making up there, much less the kind of mess they'd make constructing the Keystone XL pipeline:
Alberta Sustainable Resource Development says 145 black bears were killed by Fish and Wildlife conservation officers last year after being habituated to garbage in the oilsands region.
The number of bears shot in the Fort McMurray district was nearly three times the count the previous year and the highest in recent history, said spokesman Darcy Whiteside.
Nearly half — 68 bears — were shot in oilsands camps and facilities after being attracted to the camp by food, garbage or other attractants, Whiteside said Tuesday.
Another 51 were shot on residential properties.
No individual or company was charged with improper storage of food or other attractants, Whiteside said.
Environment and wildlife conservation groups were outraged by the number of black bear killings. They immediately blamed the deaths on lax garbage management and a lack of proper monitoring and regulation by the provincial government.
Way to go idiot humans. What a unnecessary, preventable tragedy.
VA Gov. Bob McDonnell Gives a Little Bit (But Not Much) on Ultrasound Rape Bill
The media is reporting that Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell (R) has "backtracked" on the ultrasound rape bill he and his religious fanatic friends tried to sneak through the legislature there.
Here the a statement he issued today, which again, the media is referring to as "backtracking." (Note the parts I've bolded.) Would you call this "backtracking?"
Statement of Governor Bob McDonnell on SB 484
RICHMOND – Governor Bob McDonnell issued the following statement today regarding SB 484, a bill before the General Assembly that would require an ultrasound prior to an abortion being performed.
"I am pro-life. I believe deeply in the sanctity of innocent human life and believe governments have a duty to protect human life. The more our society embraces a culture of life for all people, the better country we will have. Over the course of my 20-year career in elected office, I have been glad to play a leading role in putting in place common-sense policies that protect and defend innocent human life in the Commonwealth. One of those bills was Virginia's informed consent statute, of which I was the chief patron in the House of Delegates, finally seeing its passage in 2001. This session, the General Assembly is now considering amending this informed consent statute to include a requirement that any woman seeking an abortion receive an ultrasound in order to establish the gestational age for appropriate medical purposes, and to offer a woman the opportunity to voluntarily review that ultrasound prior to giving her legal informed consent to abortion.
Over the past days I have discussed the specific language of the proposed legislation with other governors, physicians, attorneys, legislators, advocacy groups, and citizens. It is apparent that several amendments to the proposed legislation are needed to address various medical and legal issues which have arisen. It is clear that in the majority of cases, a routine external, transabdominal ultrasound is sufficient to meet the bill's stated purpose, that is, to determine gestational age. I have come to understand that the medical practice and standard of care currently guide physicians to use other procedures to find the gestational age of the child, when abdominal ultrasounds cannot do so. Determining gestational age is essential for legal reasons, to know the trimester of the pregnancy in order to comply with the law, and for medical reasons as well.
Thus, having looked at the current proposal, I believe there is no need to direct by statute that further invasive ultrasound procedures be done. Mandating an invasive procedure in order to give informed consent is not a proper role for the state. No person should be directed to undergo an invasive procedure by the state, without their consent, as a precondition to another medical procedure.
For this reason, I have recommended to the General Assembly a series of amendments to this bill. I am requesting that the General Assembly amend this bill to explicitly state that no woman in Virginia will have to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound involuntarily. I am asking the General Assembly to state in this legislation that only a transabdominal, or external, ultrasound will be required to satisfy the requirements to determine gestational age. Should a doctor determine that another form of ultrasound may be necessary to provide the necessary images and information that will be an issue for the doctor and the patient. The government will have no role in that medical decision.
So yes, Governor McDonald is "backtracking" on "mandating an invasive procedure" but he isn't "backtracking" on mandating procedures, i.e., he is "asking" the General Assembly to change the legislation to state that "only a transabdominal, or external, ultrasound will be required…" In other words, the Governor is still putting the government into the exam room and between a woman and her doctor.
The government shouldn't require a woman (or a man or a child) to have any procedures. Period.
Conservative Tucker Carlson Suggests the U.S. "Annihilate" 75 Million Iranians
Tucker Carlson
said this last night on Fox's "Red Eye:"
I think we are the only country with the moral authority […] sufficient to do that. [The U.S. is] the only country that doesn't seek hegemony in the world. I do think, I'm sure I'm the lone voice in saying this, that Iran deserves to be annihilated. I think they're lunatics. I think they're evil.
Outrageous on so many levels, one being the laughable statement that the U.S. "doesn't seek hegemony in the world," and the other being that he's talking about annihilating 75 million people as casually as if he's talking about squashing a fly.
This is the kind of thoughtless, mindless drivel we heard prior to the invasion of Iraq. Do we really want to watch that movie again?
This is Not a Chicken
Wow. I love this graphic responding to the "personhood" amendment Republicans are introducing across the country. You know, the one that would make law the notion that a human being becomes a person the instant a sperm fertilizes an egg.

Point 1: Roy Williams needs to drive home the point that Jerry Jones is making in Dallas.
For the good of his team and the NFL, wide receiver Roy Williams needs to step up and be a more consistent target than Terrell Owens was over the last two seasons.
In 2008, Owens failed to log at least 40 yards of receiving in eight contests. And even during his 1,355-yard season in 2007, Owens wasn't a steady force for the Cowboys, rolling up 65 percent of his receiving yards during six big games. He averaged just 53 yards per contest in his other nine game appearances.
If Williams can be a steadier receiving threat, it'll open up opportunities in the running game and for the rest of the club's receivers. And the Cowboys could find a better balance offensively, putting a messy 9-7 season behind them for good.
That would reinforce a positive message to all of the owners in the NFL, who appear to be gradually realizing that problem players aren't worth the collateral damage they cause to a football team that has championship aspirations.
Dallas owner Jerry Jones, a man who previously appeared to be so desperate to win a Super Bowl that he endorsed questionable signings of players like Owens, Adam "Pacman" Jones and Tank Johnson, seems to have learned a painful, but valuable lesson. All three of those players have been jettisoned from the Dallas roster along with some outspoken veterans who had lost their team-first attitudes.
If the Cowboys rebound back into the mix for the NFC title this year, the decision to part ways with problem players could serve as a great example to the entire NFL. As Jones has witnessed first-hand, even highly talented players with baggage do little more than weigh your team down.
Point 2: It won't shock me to see Jeff Garcia starting at quarterback for the Oakland Raiders as early as Week 1.
While the veteran quarterback was acquired to be a mentor to third-year quarterback JaMarcus Russell, the Raiders had to know that they needed a player with a track record of stepping in on-the-fly to salvage a team's season. Garcia proved that he could be that type of player when he took over for the injured Donovan McNabb back in 2006, and I fully expect him to be called upon to save the Raiders from another season of disappointment this year.
Jeff Garcia

Let's face it, Al Davis will be watching his team's training camp as an 80-year-old owner who is hungrier than ever to see his once-feared club return to prominence in this league. At the same time, Tom Cable will be anxious to prove that he can be a successful NFL head coach. Neither one will be likely to stand by Russell if he struggles during training camp, despite the fact that he'd be gouging the team's cap for $13.6 million this season while holding a clipboard.
The feisty and competitive Garcia certainly isn't planning to yield the starter's role to Russell, particularly after the young quarterback performed like an erratic rookie during OTAs.
"I understand the role that I have basically assumed that JaMarcus was drafted to be the starting quarterback," Garcia said. "But I think there has to be a realization at some point as to putting the best players on the field that are going to give you the best chance to win. Now if JaMarcus is that guy, then he definitely deserves to be on the field and should be on the field.
"But if for some reason with what I bring as a player—from a competitive nature, and the intensity and emotion that I bring to the field—if that gives us a better chance to win games, then that decision is going to be left up to the coach. And hopefully he can make the right decision for the team."
Point 3: There's no team with a more muddled quarterback situation than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
If you take a quick glance at the quarterback depth chart for the Buccaneers, you'd think that they were setting the stage for a game show called, "Who Wants To Be An NFL Starting Quarterback?"
Tampa Bay has an interesting collection of young wanna-be starters, veteran washouts and second-tier talents competing for the role. It should be one of the most interesting training camp position battles in the league this summer.
Rumors have been circulating that Brian Griese, one of the five quarterbacks currently on the roster, will be released or traded. The 34-year-old veteran started five games for the Buccaneers last year, completing 59.8 percent of this throws for 1,073 yards. But in those five starts he threw seven interceptions and just five touchdown passes. He didn't make an appearance during the team's recent workouts.
Luke McCown has spent four of his five NFL seasons with Tampa Bay, earning just three starts during that stretch with the Buccaneers. Realistically, the 27-year-old quarterback is an underdog for the starter's role, but he's been touting himself as the incumbent that the others will have to beat out for the job. The fact that the Buccaneers signed veteran Byron Leftwich and drafted rookie Josh Freeman with their first-round draft pick seems to indicate that they don't necessarily agree with his self-declared status.
Leftwich appears to be little more than an insurance policy for the team to help bridge them until Freeman is ready to start. The former Jaguars starter backed-up Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh last year and appeared in five contests, performing capably. He could lead the offense for the first few games of the season if necessary. Second-year quarterback Josh Johnson was declared inactive for all 16 games last season and is still developing.
Unless Johnson stumbles badly during training camp, don't be surprised to see Freeman, Leftwich and Johnson as the three men left standing by September with McCown as the odd-man out. Freeman and Johnson offer the team a pair of athletic, young signal-callers who can grow in the Bucs' system together while Leftwich serves as their mentor.
Point 4: The thud you heard coming out of Cincinnati this week was Carson Palmer putting his foot down. And it's about time.
Prior to being sidelined for the year four games into the 2008 season, the Bengals quarterback threw for no less than 3,800 yards, a 62-percent completion rate and 26 touchdowns for three consecutive seasons. Palmer was a legitimate threat to opposing defenses every week, even while battling distractions that were caused by some of his teammates' off-the-field legal problems and the on-the-field antics of the player formerly known as Chad Johnson, who legally changed his name to Chad Ochocinco.
Carson Palmer

Over the past few seasons, Ochocinco seemed to be investing as much effort into choreographing his next touchdown celebration as honing his skills as a receiver. As a result, T.J. Houshmandzadeh slipped past him, becoming the team's top receiver.
With Houshmandzadeh signing with the Seattle Seahawks as a free agent during the offseason, you'd think that Ochocinco would have jumped at the chance to re-establish himself during OTAs as the leader of the wide receiver corps. But once again he was absent while the rest of the players began working together as a team. Palmer subtly sent a message to his lackadaisical teammate during a recent interview with NFL Sirius Radio, praising the receivers who were in camp, especially Chris Henry.
"He's a guy that's had a great offseason, really, really turned his life around. I'm excited to watch him play," Palmer said. "He's a guy that, it seems like he catches a touchdown every other ball that gets thrown to him, he's that explosive. He's kind of taken over for Chad's position and he's a guy that does not want to give up that spot right now."
The seventh-year quarterback obviously realizes that he needs to show his team that he's ready to take charge again—and that he can put points on the scoreboard with or without Ochocinco. Palmer sounded like a quarterback who would be just as happy to see the egocentric wide receiver stay home or play elsewhere.
"It's definitely a new look for the Bengals receiver corps, but I couldn't be happier with the guys we've got," Palmer said. "T.J.'s (Houshmandzadeh) gone and Chad's pretty much gone. He hasn't been here, so we've got guys that want those two spots, guys that compete day-in and day-out when we're out there on the field, running, conditioning and in the weight room lifting. They're guys that want to take over for those two spots. They look every bit capable of doing what we're going to ask them to do."
Point 5: The Giants offense will be more effective in the red zone this year.
Eli Manning & Company converted nearly 74 percent of their goal-to-go opportunities in 2008, the best mark by the team's offense since 2005. But the unit's 51-percent success rate overall in the red zone reflected a significant dip compared to the nearly 55-percent rate in 2007. And what made that statistic more troublesome for the Giants was the fact that the team ventured inside their opponents' 20-yard line 69 times—more often than any other season in this decade.
Undoubtedly, the loss of Plaxico Burress ten weeks into the season contributed to the drop-off, so the Giants bolstered their receiver corps that included Domenik Hixon, Steve Smith and Mario Manningham as they headed into the 2009 campaign. With their first-round selection of Hakeem Nicks, the team added a 6-foot-1, fast, physical wide receiver with great hands who reminds me a bit of the Colts' Reggie Wayne when he first entered the pro ranks. Two rounds later they traded up to select Cal-Poly's Ramses Barden, a player who could be inserted into the lineup along with tight end Kevin Boss to provide Manning with a pair of 6-foot-6 targets in the red zone.
"I'd love to make an impact in the red zone, as well as in the middle of the field," Barden said during a phone interview. "I want to be that complete player, and anything I can do in the red zone is definitely icing on the cake."
Point 6: Marc Bulger is badly in need of a bounce-back season.
The last time the Rams quarterback was able to unleash the full level of his natural talent was during the 2006 season. He passed for 4,301 yards, completed 62.9 percent of his throws and tossed 24 touchdown passes against just eight interceptions. And get this—he did all of that despite being repeatedly pounded to the turf, suffering 49 sacks behind an offensive line that seemed to be confused and poorly prepared.
Marc Bulger

Over the past two seasons, Bulger's status as the team's starting quarterback came into question as he threw more interceptions (28) than touchdowns (22). And his completion rate last year dropped to 57 percent, the lowest of his career. But in an obvious vote of confidence for Bulger, and in hopes of restoring balance to their offensive attack by opening up running lanes for Steven Jackson, St. Louis wisely added talent to a developing offensive line through the addition of former Baylor offensive tackle Jason Smith. Prior to the draft, they had improved their lot at the center position by signing former Ravens center Jason Brown.
New head coach Steve Spagnulo will provide a badly-needed spark to a club that has been reeling aimlessly for the past few years. And he's made it clear that he believes in his starting quarterback's ability to lead his team's offense.
"I really think the world of Marc, I did every time that we had to play against him," Spagnulo said this week. "I still think he's one of those guys that gets the ball out quick. He can put some pressure on the defense. And if the quarterback can put pressure on the defense, that's pretty good from an offensive point of view."
Point 7: Don't write-off Patriots running back Laurence Maroney. He still has plenty of spunk.
Unfairly judged by many people who questioned his toughness last year, Maroney recently revealed that he was sidelined by something more substantial than a generic shoulder injury last season.
"I had a broken bone and I was trying to play with it," the former first-round pick recently told the media.
Unfortunately for Maroney, New England is purposely tight-lipped about providing details about player injuries. The club apparently believes that keeping more detailed information close to the vest provides them with a competitive advantage. But as a result, the fans and the media didn't understand the severity of his injury.
Speculation ran rampant and Maroney's image took a blow. The impact of those comments obviously stung the fourth-year veteran. And he's anxious to get back onto the field to set the record straight.
"Everybody is going to think one way because they don't really know what's going on," Maroney said. "I dare anybody in this crowd to play football with a broken bone in your shoulder and you tell me how long you're going to last out there."
Maroney will be competing with former Jaguars running back Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris and Kevin Faulk for playing time this season, so it'll be important for him to get off to a fast start if he wants to be at or near the top of the depth chart in New England. In 30 game appearances during his first three seasons, Maroney has rushed for 1,673 yards and 12 touchdowns while averaging 4.3 yards per carry. He's also caught 26 passes for 310 yards and one touchdown.

Chancellor search forums scheduled
Public forums, social media and other tools will be used to gather campus and community perspectives into the abilities and characteristics the next UW–Madison chancellor should embody.
The search and screen committee for the next chancellor is seeking feedback through a variety of mechanisms on characteristics the university's next leader should possess.
David McDonald, who chairs the 25-member search and screen committee, says the forums are an opportunity for stakeholders inside and outside the campus community to offer their views on the talents and qualities the next chancellor should have.
"The UW comprises a large and diverse community with a kaleidoscope of interests," says McDonald, a history professor at the university. "It's important the committee have an equally complex sense of the types of qualities members of the community seek in our leader.
"We hope to gain, to the fullest extent possible, an understanding of the community's shared vision of where the university is headed over the next 10 to 15 years," McDonald says.
The forums, which are open to the general public, are scheduled for:
- Tuesday, Oct. 16, Room 1325, Health Sciences Center, 750 Highland Ave., 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.
- Wednesday, Oct. 17, Plenary Room, Grainger Hall, 975 University Ave., 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
- Friday, Oct. 19, Varsity Hall 3, Union South, 1308 W. Dayton St., 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
A Web chat to gather input on the search will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 23 from 6:30-8 p.m. To join in, visit this site.
Views on the search can also be submitted via Twitter by including the hashtag #uwsearch, or via email to email@example.com.
View some of the comments from the Oct. 16 and Oct. 17 forums here.
McDonald and other committee members will be at the forums and participate in the Web chat. Staff members may attend without loss of pay after receiving approval from their supervisor.
The search timetable calls for the committee to identify at least five qualified candidates in February. The list of finalists will be presented to UW System President Kevin Reilly and the Special Regents Committee, who then will make a recommendation to the full Board of Regents. It is expected that the regents will vote in April on Interim Chancellor David Ward's successor. The new chancellor would then begin July 1, 2013.

If there starts to be a failure pattern in these trannys, there will be a plethora of info to draw upon here to get a lemon law recall started!
As for my Focus, I just broke the 8000 mile mark. My Avg MPG has been 35. My shifts are still about 98% accurate. I have noticed a couple of
instances, where before I had said that it had stopped doing that. They haven't been all that bad, just a
mild shake
on roll off from a stop light
. And they only appear after the temperature is above 90 deg F outside, and the car is up to full operating temp.
Overall though I still love this car. I am now trying to work out a few bugs in the Sony MFT system. But that's for a different thread.
My wife owns 2012 Focus SE hatchback, about 7800 miles on it. Few months ago I took it in when we received the TSB 12B37 and had the recall service done on the DCT. It seemed to help a little at first but the car darn near stalls when taking off from a stop. And the shuddering and bucking seems to be a little worse in stop & go city driving. I'm wondering if we should have the dealer do the DCT "relearn" again? She loves the car but is getting rather paranoid about the hesitation from a stop. Anyone with tech knowledge have any advice?

By Paul Gardner
To say that Mexican youth soccer had a good 2011 does not even begin to describe the quite exceptional achievements of the Mexican boys.
To achieve, within the space of a couple of months, triumph in the U-17 World Cup, and then a third-place finish in the U-20 World Cup is success on an almost unthinkable scale. Only Brazil does that sort of thing. In fact, Brazil did mirror the Mexican saga in 2011, winning the U-20 world cup and finishing fourth in the U-17s.
We expect that sort of thing from Brazil. But, Mexico? Clearly, important developments are taking place down there. This was not Mexico's first U-17 win -- they had already won the World Cup in 2006.
Considering that we share a vast border with Mexico, also that we (that's the soccer "we" I'm referring to) spend a good deal of money, time and effort on youth development, we should surely be taking a close look at what the Mexicans are up to.
An opportunity to do just that came at the recent NSCAA Coaches' Convention in Kansas City. The enterprising Joe Cummings, who now runs the convention, made it his business to bring in two members of the Mexican Federation's youth division to impart, or at least explain, some of their wisdom. I spent some time with Jose Enrique Vaca, the program's general coordinator, and Jose Rosario Pina, the goalkeeper coach, then attended one of their sessions. And what did I learn? Above all, that success on the Mexican scale is not a sudden thing. Well, OK, we all feel that we know that.
But to have the details of a highly successful program spelled out, as Vaca and Pina did, is to realize the importance of those unglamorous items, administration and organization. The setting up of a nationwide system of scouting, ensuring the collaboration of the country's pro clubs, the holding of national camps. But again, there's a familiarity there. Don't we do all that right here? Aren't we supposed to be good at that sort of thing? Come to that, wouldn't the average American bridle at the thought that Mexicans could do that better?
Probably. But the fact has to be faced. One factor mentioned as particularly important by Vaca and Pina was that the pro clubs had been persuaded to play youth games (at both age levels) alongside pro fixtures. Thus a game between Chivas and Club America would always be preceded by games -- highly competitive games -- between the clubs' U-17 and U-20 teams. "We've convinced the club owners and Presidents to get with the national program -- there is now no resistance from the clubs," said Vaca
Meetings between the Federation staff and club coaches are held every three months, and Vaca reports that over the past 10 years or so there has been a real improvement in their programs -- with the introduction of areas like nutrition and psychology.
The idea of dedicated youth academies is only now beginning to take hold at the pro clubs ... a hint that great things can be accomplished without academies (or, maybe, that the setting up of academies does not necessarily bring success). Vaca calculates that, in the under-17 age group, there are some 12,000 boys playing with the country's 18 pro clubs.
I was surprised at the amount of time that selected boys are expected to spend at national camps -- "There are 10 or 12 concentrations [at the Mexican Federation's HQ in Mexico City] a year," said Vaca, "each lasting about 10 days."
As I always feel that giving a young player hefty doses of two different coaching systems (club and Federation) seems like a recipe for confusion, I had to ask ... but Vaca was adamant that all was well, "It helps the boys to be playing in different ways. They're going to be better players, I'm sure."
And yes, the Mexican Federation does scout Mexican-American players. As prospective national team players, of course -- "but we don't take them to Mexico, we want them to stay in the USA, to live there, to be with their families, to keep studying. We don't want to have boys who don't want to come. They must make the decision. We want to respect the USA."
Former Mexican national team coach Javier Aguirre once told me that Mexican teams struggled at the international level because they had a miedo de ganar, a fear of winning. Is that still a factor, I wondered. "That was true," said Vaca, "We thought only of qualifying from the group stage of a tournament, of the fourth, or maybe the fifth game. But not now. We're competitive now. We're no longer thinking of just that fourth game. The young kids feel now like they're world champions. They're learning to be not just good players, they're learning how to behave in hotels, in press conferences. Not long ago their hero was Cuauhtemoc Blanco -- a great player, but not an educated man. Today the boys look to Chicharito, educated, he speaks English, he's successful in Europe."
Complicated as it undoubtedly is, I'm inclined to think that the organizational element is the straightforward part of youth development. What truly separates Mexico from the USA is the superior quality of their players. Their uniformly excellent technique, the smoothness of their passing game, the utter naturalness of their movement.
This was touched on by Vaca, who drew worried looks from the hotel breakfast-eaters as he stood up in the restaurant to demonstrate how he wanted players to run and to move and to pass the ball.
But those are qualities which the Mexicans can almost take for granted. In the USA, one can never be sure. Too often, in their absence, we make do with substitutes -- we concentrate on size, particularly at the youth level, or on tactics, or on fitness. Right now, Jurgen Klinsmann seems obsessed with fitness, calling in his fitness gurus to work miracles, though how they can do that during the short periods that national team players are available to them, I really don't know.
I can find excuses for Klinsmann. He cannot hope to teach pro players the ball-skill talents they should have learned when they were young. Maybe he feels he has to turn to fitness, but it is a depressing thought -- especially as crash-courses in fitness are not likely to work either.
Nothing can take the place of the most basic of soccer skills - the ease of movement with the ball. The Mexicans have that. Americans, by and large, struggle in that area. If we continue the attempt to replace true soccer skill with fitness or tactics or whatever, we shall forever be in the position that the Mexicans feel they have now overcome: concerned only with winning the fourth game.

Caulking large gaps in shower enclose+to caulk or grout a tub with tile.
Hi all! I have two questions as follows:
1) Shower enclosure with large gaps: About two years ago I had a shower kit installed and I noticed large gaps between the panels and glass panels with the and the pan. Clearly it wasn't installed properly. I used a silicone sealant to fill the gaps, which are as wide as 1/4", and sealant came off. Another problem with the shower is that it is leaking water from the sides of the door. We have to stand a mob near the corner to catch the pooled water. After reading another post (Nestor_Kelebay), I fear it may be very difficult to remove the silicone from these ackward nooks. So I'm getting ready to try and fix it again.
I now regret having installed this thing and am considering pulling it out and replacing it with a good old fashioned hand laid shower stall with tiles and grout. However, I would like to get this thing in good shape until I have the $ to replace it.
2) Upstairs bathroom: I just removed a moldy silicone caulk between the tub and wall. Question, should I replace it with easier to use acrylic caulk? Or should I go old school and replace it with grout?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. :)
Have no idea what you are talking about with the "Shower enclosure with large gaps" thing. A picture would be dandy.:yes:
The leaks can be fixed by re-caulking the whole shower apparatus but you must see to a few things first.
The old caulk must be totally removed. If it is silicone there are silicone caulk remover chemicals available. Once the old caulk is removed the junctures to be caulked must be totally dry. Not just "maybe dry" but totally dry, like wick all the junctures with a dry towel then put a fan on the unit for about six hours to dry it out.:)
You do not want to use grout where caulk should be used. Caulk should be used to seal all junctures and changes in plane. Grout is not waterproof and will not work in those applications.
Use a siliconized caulk and NOT A 100% SILICONE CAULK. Silicone (100% silicone) caulk is hard to work with and doesn't work all that well in the hands of a novice. On the other hand "siliconized caulk" and acrylic caulk can be tooled and cleaned up with a wet sponge or wet finger during installation.:)
Nestor_Kelebay is a slum lord living in Canada that prides himself in knowing everything there is to know about everything there is to know about. He owns a few dumpy apartments and brags about them every chance he gets. His photos of his property show what slums they really are. So I would be careful what advice I take from ole Nestor_Kelebay, the Canadian Answer Man. He's probably related to that idiot Holmes anyway.:)

A story out of Thailand reports growing evidence of improper behavior on the part of Buddhist monks. A new National Hotline will allow any person to report activities on the part of monks that are not exactly kosher. In May, five monks were defrocked for sexual abuse of young boys. You know, the sort of thing that Does occur in the Christian or Jewish religions. How about:
1. A National Hotline in America to report gun nut cases who wander around with loaded weapons?
2. A National Hotline that leads to the defrocking of any Republican who dares to work with a Democrat. Double defrock, if they work with LIBERALS!
3. A National Hotline that reports every penny spent by the Koch Brothers to gain victory in elections with their money?
4. A National Hotline that reports each teary statement by John Boehner?
5. A National Hotline which keeps the American people informed, twenty-four hours a day, 7 days of week, about anything anyone found out about the truth at Benghazi!

Hey there! I'm back with Little Yellow Bicycle as a 'Just Because' cycling team member! You can check out the blog post HERE. Scroll through the LYB blog and see all the fabulous designs by the DT and cycling team! So much inspiration.
This collection is quite lovely! It has a unique color palette.. A bit different from the 'norm'. A coral-ish red, navy blue, small touches of lavender… really nice!
The moment I saw it all in person I knew I wanted to make something with a coffee or tea theme. I am ALWAYS inspired by the theme of papers/stickers. So, I made a tea cup! Almost looks real with the added saucer!
I added a dowel with some pretty rosettes, chipboard, 3D bow and stick pins. Fun, huh? You can make one too with the SVG Cuts Tea For You and Me kit. Add some bags of tea, cookies, etc. for a perfect gift!
Next up is a cute and simple vellum strip card. I LOVE LYB's vellum strips!
I love how much there is to play with in the Just Because collection! You really can take it so many different ways from girlie and cute, vintage, Valentine-ish, etc.
Whatcha' think? You can view the entire collection HERE.
Before you leave, I want to mention that LYB is having a NATURALS contest! Remember the adorable altered pitcher I shared recently showing off the Naturals? Hopefully that sent you all running to your nearest craft store to get some for yourself! If so, take a look at the contest! It runs through March 17th so you have plenty of time to enter!

Packed with folate, vitamin k, fiber, B6, vitamin C, omega-3s, and tryptophan, they can be thought of as a multivitamin for your brain.
15 brussels sprouts
1 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper
MAKE IT: Chop the brussels sprouts into small pieces. Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and pepper in a bowl to taste. Dress the brussels sprouts and then top with ample amounts of freshly grated Parmesan.

Yet Another Dumb Move By A Bank
Posted by Sucharita Mulpuru on March 17, 2012
- 443 Recommendations
- 0 comments
Until a few months ago Bank of America won the "Best In Biting The Hand That Feeds You" Award when it initiated its $5 debit card fee increase. Citibank may have trumped that in January when it decided that frequent flier miles that it gave away as promotional bonuses in exchange for getting customers to sign up for a new bank account was taxable income that needed to be reported to the IRS. The absurdity of this move is so large it's not even measurable. Because if they pull this off, they will solidify a position as an anti-customer bank at a time when banks could use some customer love, but worse they threaten to kill the single most effective tactic in the entire marketing industry: the promotion. By giving away a gift in return for a customer's patronage, and then calling it taxable income, this is the ultimate string attached. Does this mean free ice cream at Ben & Jerry's on their customer appreciation day is taxable? What about upgrades airlines sometimes give for free on flights? Or the eyeglasses that Coastal.com is giving away for free? Most of the time your social security number isn't captured, so there isn't an easy means to report any promotion or gift to the IRS, but let's hope we never get to the day where we do have to give away such information in order to take advantage of a promotion. How anyone at Citi could have thought this was a good idea (and not making very clear the taxation consequences) is baffling. Marketing freebies are aimed at getting new customers or retaining existing one; taxing them only gives people a big reason to not take advantage of them. Why isn't every marketer in America screaming from the hilltops that this is a terrible thing, and why is Citibank not being shamed for such an outrageous and self-serving action?
Two things could have made Citi come off a bit better: if they hadn't assessed a highly speculative value of the frequent flier miles at 2.5 cents (which translates to $625 for a 25,000 mile bonus, hardly fair given all the blackout dates and restrictions around using these tickets at all), or if they'd just done the noble thing and grossed up the value of the "bonus" to cover the tax, a standard HR procedure when people get their job relocations paid for. Hopefully with enough customer pressure, they'll reverse their position. Or when other banks and PayPal take away the market share they've left on the table, perhaps they'll realize it was a bad idea from the start.

Full Tilt Remissions Administrator Wires $76M in Refunds – DOJ-authorized claims administrator Garden City Group has delivered the first wave of Full Tilt Poker refund payments to US players whose bankrolls on the online site have been in limbo since April, 2011. On February 28th, GCG sent a total of about $76 million to more than 27,500 former FTP players. The mass refunds represent the first of several payment waves to be issued by GCG over the coming months, and represent those players who accepted the balances shown in Full Tilt's system without protest. Players with disputed balances and players who enjoyed either affiliate or rakeback relationships with the site, which was at one time the second-largest US-facing online poker offering, are subject to lengthier, individual review.

Charlie Hunter
- 8-string guitar
John Ellis - saxophone
Stephen Chopek - drums
Chris Lovejoy - percussion
Produced By
Charlie Hunter
Charlie Hunter's
time and place are here and now. With his unique
instrument, an eight-string bass/guitar combination
of his own design, Hunter has established himself
as one of the most tasteful and innovative bandleaders
in music. Now, with Songs from the Analog Playground,
Hunter has for the first time brought vocalists
and a road-tested instrumental ensemble into the
mix. The result is his most cohesive and accessible
effort yet.
four singers who contribute to Songs from the
Analog Playground include Theryl de Clouet
from New Orleans jazz-funk band Galactic
and rapper Mos Def, as well as Hunter's
Blue Note labelmates Kurt Elling and Norah
Jones. Says Hunter of his decision to bring
vocals into the studio, "That's the kind of music
I was brought up on. As a street musician that's
all you played, because if you played instrumental
music you really went broke."
Clouet was called into the studio with Hunter
and his band in New York from a Philadelphia tour
stop. His vocals on the buoyant Earth, Wind and
Fire cover "Mighty
Mighty" are gruff and soulful, adding
a potent edge to the Charlie Hunter Quartet's
polished sound. He also sings on the slow, spooky
rendition of the Willie Dixon-penned standard
Jones was called in after Hunter heard her demo
CD (the same demo CD that resulted in the recent
signing of the young singer to Blue Note), and
as Hunter says, "She came into the studio and
kicked butt." Jones' breathy alto graces two of
the more unexpected cover tunes on Songs from
the Analog Playground: Roxy Music's "More
Than This" and the show-stealing closer, Nick
Drake's "Day
Is Done."
intended for Mos Def to lay down some rhymes,
and instead the rapper transformed himself into
a tender soul singer on "Creole"
(for which Hunter wrote the music and Mos Def
wrote the lyrics). He also recorded the rap for
the album opener, the Latin percussion vamp "Street
Elling, a friend of Hunter's and noted jazz singer,
recorded his vocals after the instrumental tracks
for the original song "Desert Way" and
the standard "Close Your Eyes" were laid
down-the only overdubs on the record.
describes his synthesis of jazz, fusion, funk,
blues and rock as simply "rhythm music," and he
and his band-saxophonist John
Ellis, drummer Stephen
Chopek and percussionist Chris
Lovejoy-live up to the title from the
opening moments of Songs from the Analog Playground.
The quartet has been together for over a year,
and has played over 200 shows in that time - par
for the course for the road-warrior Hunter. On
previous albums, the guitarist assembled his groups
just before entering the studio; this time, his
road-tested band brought a practiced chemistry
to the recording process. "Our whole thing just
lives and dies by the band's playing together,"
Hunter says. "Really, the sum is more than its
Ellis, Chopek and Lovejoy provide lush backup
for the four singers on Songs from the Analog
Playground, but they really shine on the album's
five instrumental tracks. With ample room to stretch
their legs, the quartet has a soothing melodic
to balance its rhythmic virtuosity. The nimble
syncopation of "Rhythm Music Rides Again"
and the spacious groove of "Percussion Shuffle"
provide a launching pad for Chopek and Lovejoy
to strut their stuff, showing why Hunter praises
their ability to work in tandem as a fluid percussion
machine. "Run
For It" and the enigmatically titled "Mitch
Better Have My Bunny" let Hunter and Ellis
take the lead with graceful melodic runs and stirring
solos. Hunter performs the short-but-sweet "Sunday
Morning" by himself, displaying his remarkable
ability to play guitar and bass parts simultaneously
on his guitar.
from the Analog Playground is the latest high
point of Charlie Hunter's career, and the album
is a whole new sonic terrain for a musician who
just keeps getting better with time. Armed with
some of the world's best vocal chords and a veritable
freight train of percussion mastery, Hunter is
progressing at an alarming rate and bringing a
lot of eager listeners along for the ride. "I'm
just trying to play music in the post-music era,"
Hunter says. "Everyone says that this is a bad
time for music, and I totally agree, especially
as far as popular music goes. But that's great-It
just means it's more of a challenge for us to
make something happen."

Inside the K-Street Trade Group Where Menendez's Influence Meets Washington Money
A Senate ethics probe into the relationship between Senator Robert Menendez's and a Miami doctor and major campaign donor is bringing additional scrutiny to Senator Menendez's formidable campaign finance operation and his sphere of influence.
WNYC has learned that Senator Robert Menendez is the honorary chair of a trade organization that relies on a long list of his campaign donors as sponsors and has an address that is a K Street law office in Washington DC.
WNYC's Bob Hennelly reports the president of the group, the United States Spain Council, is a former Menendez staffer who was a consultant on a controversial Dominican Republic port security deal worth a half a billlion dollars to a major Menendez campaign donor.
It's Menendez's relationship with that donor, Dr. Salomon Melgen, that's at the heart of a Senate Ethics Committee probe that has dogged the Senator for months

Hospital's heavy lifting lightens load on nurses
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nurses, nursing aides and orderlies have borne the weight of the nation's obesity epidemic and suffered the consequences.
They have gone home with aching backs and, in worst-case scenarios, ended up in hospitals themselves.
"In the course of an eight-hour day, a nurse will typically lift 1.8 tons, which is pretty astronomical," said Amy Williamson, a workplace safety coordinator for Baptist Hospital here.
The official guideline from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is that nurses should lift no more than 35 pounds at any given time, but few hospitals and nursing homes follow that rule.
Back injuries to health-care workers cost billions of dollars annually and are a primary reason for nurses choosing to leave the profession. A 2011 health and safety survey from the American Nurses Association showed that disabling injuries from lifting are a top concern among 62 percent of nurses. Eight in 10 nurses said muscle and joint pain is a frequent occurrence.
"You are boosting patients in bed," said Williamson, whose hospital has received national recognition from the Occupational Safety & Health Administration for its efforts to prevent workplace injuries. "You are turning them. You are trying to assist them to the restroom. It has really taken a toll on our nurses and our techs."
Latashia McGee, 32, of Nashville came to Baptist Hospital in respiratory failure and suffering from diabetes, congestive heart failure, chronic sleep apnea and high blood pressure.
She was too weak to move on her own, but too big for a nurse to lift.
"I was retaining a lot of fluid," McGee said. "They got about 23 liters of fluid off of me," more than 50 pounds.
Nearly two-thirds of the people admitted to Baptist in the past two years weighed 200 to 299 pounds. About 2,200 patients weighed 300 to 499 pounds.
A few years ago, a nursing team faced with a heavy patient would have assembled three or four staff members for a group heave. Today, they wheel in a portable lift. Baptist has invested in portable lift devices that can handle up to 600 pounds and has one on order with a 1,000-pound capacity.
One nurse at Baptist wound up having to undergo three surgeries for a neck injury, torn rotator cuff and carpal tunnel issue. So, almost three years ago, Baptist launched a pilot project to prevent these injuries.
The campaign began in the unit where Mary Ann Baylor is nurse manager. It relied on three key components: equipment, training and awareness.
"We have not had any injuries since our pilot," Baylor said. "It's really a team project. We buddy up so that whenever we are using the lift, the chance of injury is nil. You can't afford to have everybody out sick."
The buddy approach — matching up a new user with someone skilled at using the lift devices — boosted compliance. Baptist wound up reducing its patient handling injuries by more than 74 percent from 2008 to 2011.
Only 10 states — California, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Texas and Washington — have adopted laws or regulations that require health-care institutions to have patient-handling requirements to protect nursing staffs, according to the American Nurses Association. Hawaii's legislature has adopted a resolution in favor of it.
"Manual patient handling is unsafe and directly responsible for musculoskeletal disorders suffered by nurses," said Jemarion Jones, a spokesman for the national organization. "Patient handling can be performed safely with the use of assistive equipment."
The portable devices can pick up patients weighing up to 400 pounds while ceiling-mounted lifts can pick up more.
Besides preventing back injuries for hospital staff, the devices lessen the likelihood of patient injuries and give caregivers greater options for moving patients around to prevent bedsores.
To accommodate the increasingly obese patient population, hospitals also have had to invest in braces for toilets, bariatric bedside commodes and chairs designed to bear extra weight.
"You can have someone who is complete total care that is 500 to 600 pounds," Baylor said.

Establishing specific, measurable and time-targeted objectives with determination.
On Friday, August 5, 2016, we will be holding our final day for student parking purchases for the 2016-17 school year. We have approximately 100 spots left to be sold on this date (all in the top/non-reserved lot). We will begin promptly at 8:00am in the Auditorium lobby with sales for SENIORS. At 9:00, we will begin allowing sales to JUNIORS. In both cases, we will go in CLASS RANK ORDER. Since we will not know an exact number of students interested, we will not be able to guarantee everyone in attendance a spot. We will sell the parking spots until they are gone. We will also take names for a waiting list in case spots open up should you not receive a spot on August 5.
If you are a Junior and are interested in purchasing a spot, I would recommend you come at
9:00am if you are in the Top 100 of the junior class. Junior students outside of the Top 100 may still have a chance at a spot, but it may be more unlikely.
If you are unable to attend to purchase your spot during this time, you may send a parent/relative in your place. In order to purchase a parking spot, you must currently possess and provide a valid drivers license and proof of insurance. You should also know your car make, model, year, color, and license number. Parking spots are $100 ($50 for South Tech students - cash/check only). Please understand in advance, we will work through the line as quickly as possible, but the wait in line may be lengthy depending on demand. Coming prepared will save everyone time.
If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Woods (467-6013) or me (467-6003) or feel free to reply to this email.
Thank you,
Andy Ross

Personal Information
Personal Bio
Im currently a small time cosplay who is getting more and more involved with the community and meeting more great people! With ever increasing craftmanship skills (if only my textiles teacher could see me now!) my costumes are becoming bigger and better and are a long shot away from my very first ones which we're either bought or pieced togeather the day before!
Cosplay Bio
My interest in cosplay starting when I went to my first MCM Expo in May 2007, I sort of knew what cosplay was but only in the few days before had I looked into it, I took so many pictures and loved every second of it! During the October MCM Expo 2007 I did my first cosplay, simple but fun wiht my friend Jordon, Rude and Reno from FF7 : Advent Children, it was increadibly fun and since then I've done 2 others which we're mainly bought with a tiny bit of modding. I'm currently working on a giant tetris piece and a dream cosplay of Otacon (MGS4 Style)
My proudest moment was at MCM when I had my Blood Ravens flag and in the early entry que people kept shouting 'FOR THE EMPEROR' and such at me!
My greatest achievement is when I was in my Naruto 6th Hokage cosplay and a young lady came up to me with a kid no older then 10 cosplaying as Naruto and asked me for a picture with him, the smile on his face was absolutely beaming! I later found the person on the MCM forums after posting about post con stuff and the woman told me that it had made her nephews day!
