American Indians and the Land for the Run
American Indians viewed the land run very differently than the settlers. While those who made the run saw the situation as an opportunity to claim free land, American Indians feared they may soon again lose even more land. In varying times during the nineteenth century, tribes had been forced from their ancestral homelands to reservations in present-day Oklahoma. Then, tribes were forced to accept individual allotments with the Dawes Act in 1887, which again reduced their land. The resulting land cleared of tribal ownership resulted in available land for the run.
After Boomers, such as David Payne, continually violated Indian treaties by encroaching on their land, the United States government finally relented and in 1885, passed an Indian Appropriations Act to allow natives to sell their unoccupied land. Furthermore, in 1889, President Grover Cleveland passed a new Indian Appropriations Act on March 2, 1889, which opened up these Unassigned Lands to settlers, which was distributed by land runs.
Elias C. Boudinot
Raised in New England following his father's assassination, Elias C. Boudinot studied law and dabbled in politics. This background proved instrumental in Boudinot's future. A loss in a Supreme Court case in 1868 led Boudinot to believe that Indians should seek protection of the United States Constitution and property rights as individuals rather than tribal ownership. During the 1870s Boudinot worked as a railroad attorney and spent much of his time in Washington.
In a February 17, 1879, in a letter to the Chicago Times, Boudinot espoused his claim that fourteen million acres of Indian Territory, including the Unassigned Lands, should be considered public domain and opened to non-Indian settlers. Boudinot's letter spread to other papers throughout the United States, motivating David Payne and other homesteaders to seek land in the territory.
Boudinot died in Fort Smith on September 27, 1890, just a year after the first Land Run.

The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) has given the health of the Nanticoke River – considered to be one of the most pristine rivers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed – a B-minus in the first-ever Nanticoke River Report Card.
The report card, based on data collected by volunteers with the Nanticoke Watershed Alliance, is designed to help local residents better understand the Nanticoke's health. From April through November, more than 30 volunteers monitor water quality at 37 sites throughout the Nanticoke's 725,000-acre watershed.
The Nanticoke River watershed covers approximately 725,000 square miles from its headwaters in Delaware to the river's mouth at Tangier Sound on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Captain John Smith mapped the Nanticoke River during his 1607-1609 voyages of the Chesapeake, and the river still has many spots where viewers can enjoy a "John Smith view" unobstructed by modern development.
"The Nanticoke River report card shows that we must remain vigilant about managing the watershed to avoid degrading this magnificent river," said UMCES Vice President for Science Application Dr. Bill Dennison.
The Nanticoke River Report Card is one of eight river report cards that UMCES produces along with its annual Chesapeake Bay Report Card.
Delaware environmental officials, political leaders and environmental advocates celebrated the river's health but also noted that the region must remain careful to protect it for future generations.

Welcome to the latest installment of the BayBlog Question of the Week! Each week, we take a question submitted on the Chesapeake Bay Program website or a frequently asked question and answer it here for all to read.
This week's question came from Soohyun, who wants to know: "What role might oysters play in the Bay's future?"
Oysters are vital to the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem, but are in serious need of continued restoration to thrive. Oysters are extremely significant both economically and ecologically in the Chesapeake Bay region, but without effective management of the oyster fishery, the bivalve -- which is still at just 1 percent of historic levels -- will continue to suffer.
When populations are sufficient, oysters create reefs that can provide a large area of nooks and crevices for aquatic species. Oyster reefs can create 50 times the hard habitat surface area of a mudflat of the same size. Many Bay species, including sponges, sea squirts, and small crabs and fishes, need the hard surfaces provided by these oyster reefs to survive.
Another important function oysters play in the Bay ecosystem is their role as a filter feeder. Oysters pump large volumes of water through their gills to filter out plankton and other particles, including algae, suspended sediments and chemical contaminants. One oyster can filter more than 50 gallons per day.
Because of the importance of oysters, several organizations around the watershed are building artificial reefs from recycled oyster shells and other hard materials. Artificial reefs provide habitat that is similiar to natural oyster reefs, giving oyster spat (baby oysters) the hard surfaces they need to attach to and survive. Over time, it is expected that oysters will build up on the artificial reefs and create natural reefs.
There has also been a lot of focus on raising baby oysters in hatcheries, protecting existing oyster reefs as harvest-free "sanctuaries," and developing and promoting oyster aquaculture programs. Other projects, such as Marylanders Grow Oysters and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's oyster gardening, get citizens involved in restoring oysters.
The Bay's oyster population may never be as healthy as it once was, but with new and innovative restoration efforts taking place across the region, it seems like it will be possible for oysters to continue to be an important part of the Bay ecosystem for many years to come. If you'd like to help restore oysters, check out some ideas from the Oyster Recovery Partnership.

The Atlantic sturgeon – a rare, ancient-looking fish that supported an important 19th century fishery in the Chesapeake Bay region – has been proposed by NOAA Fisheries Service to be protected under the federal Endangered Species Act.
Atlantic sturgeon have existed since the Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. They are large fish with brownish bodies covered in bony plates. They visit the Chesapeake Bay in spring to spawn in fresh water. Sturgeon likely used to spawn in all of the Bay's tributaries, but today only the James and York rivers in Virginia have small spawning populations.
Records indicate that Atlantic sturgeon were once abundant. The fish supported an important 19th century fishery when their eggs became popular as caviar. The commercial fishery peaked in 1870 but collapsed by 1901, when landings were just 10 percent of the peak.
All Atlantic coast states completely banned Atlantic sturgeon fishing in 1998, but sturgeon are still extremely rare. According to a federal review in 2007, Atlantic sturgeon are usually harmed by unintentional catch, vessel strikes and dredging, as well as by polluted water and damming of rivers.
The purpose of listing species as "endangered" is to offer special protections designed to prevent the species from becoming extinct.
Another Chesapeake Bay sturgeon, the shortnose sturgeon, is already on the endangered species list.
The Gulf of Maine, New York Bight, Carolina and South Atlantic populations of Atlantic sturgeon are also included in this proposal.
Citizens can comment on NOAA's proposed listing by Jan. 4, 2011.
The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) has released the first-ever State of the Susquehanna report, which details successes, partnerships, threats and opportunities for seven key indicators influencing the Susquehanna River basin's health.
The State of the Susquehanna includes data, maps, feature stories and other information that tells the story of the Susquehanna River basin. The report also highlights how the seven indicators relate to the health of the Chesapeake Bay.
The seven indicators in the State of the Susquehanna are:
"Despite gradual improvements, the Susquehanna will continue to experience enormous pressure, calling for additional research, including on potential impacts from the development of natural gas reserves in the Marcellus Shale on the watershed, especially in its headwaters areas," said Dr. Benjamin Hayes, director of the Susquehanna River Initiative, Bucknell Environmental Center.
Along with Bucknell University, other partners in the State of the Susquehanna include the U.S. EPA Region 3 and the Susquehanna River Heartland Coalition for Environmental Studies.

Federal judge George Wu officially overturned the conviction of Lori Drew, who was convicted of cyberbullying 13-year-old Megan Meier to suicide. That conviction was based on the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), which makes it a crime to intentionally accessing a computer system with intent to commit a crime or tort.
At trial, the jury found Drew guilty of misdemeanor violations of CFAA based on the theory that accessing MySpace with intent to harrass Meier was an unauthorized access of an interstate computer.

Unlike some people have hoped, the Internet hasn't led to big changes in the socio-economic makeup of Americans engaged in civic activities, a new study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project finds. As in offline politics, people who participate in online civic life by contacting government officials, making political or charitable donations or signing petitions, for example tend to be richer and better educated.
There are signs that social media sites like Twitter and Facebook are driving civic engagement among younger people. On social networks, income and education levels seem to be less correlated with whether someone engages in civic activism.

This is a story about love and Twitter, hope and the relative safety of a Walmart parking lot. Six months ago, Brianna Karp found herself living in an old truck and camper she inherited after the suicide of a father she barely knew.
She wrote as a way to stay in touch with the world. Soon, other homeless people were leaving comments on her blog, telling their stories and cheering her on. "I was definitely surprised just how many homeless and former homeless people are online and using social media to seek opportunities," Karp said. She blogged from Starbucks while she continued to search for work, buying $5 cards each month that entitled her to sip coffee and soak up unlimited Wi-Fi.
If Google Inc. digitizes the world's books, how will it keep track of what you read? That's one of the unanswered questions that librarians and privacy experts are grappling with as Google attempts to settle a long-running lawsuit by publishers and copyright holders and move ahead with its effort to digitize millions of books, known as the Google Books Library Project.
Librarians and the online world have different standards for dealing with user information. Many libraries routinely delete borrower information, and organizations such as the American Library Association have fought hard to preserve the privacy of their patrons.

Facebook has agreed to make worldwide changes to its privacy policy as a result of negotiations with Canada's privacy commissioner. Last month the social network was found to breach Canadian law by holding on to users' personal data indefinitely.
It will also make it clear that users can deactivate or delete their account. "These changes mean that the privacy of 200 million Facebook users in Canada and around the world will be far better protected," said Canadian privacy commissioner Jennifer Stoddart.

There's still plenty of room for innovation today, yet the openness fostering it may be eroding. While the Internet is more widely available and faster than ever, artificial barriers threaten to constrict its growth. Call it a mid-life crisis. A variety of factors are to blame. Spam and hacking attacks force network operators to erect security firewalls.
"There is more freedom for the typical Internet user to play, to communicate, to shop more opportunities than ever before," said Jonathan Zittrain, a law professor and co-founder of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society. "On the worrisome side, there are some longer-term trends that are making it much more possible (for information) to be controlled."
Users of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter could face higher insurance premiums because burglars may be using them to find out their personal details. The Digital Criminal report, which polled 2,000 social network users, found nearly two fifths had posted details of their holiday plans, with nearly two thirds of 16-24 year-olds doing so.
"I call it 'internet shopping for burglars'. It is incredibly easy to use social neyworking sites to target people, and then scope out more information on their actual home using other internet sites like Google Street View, all from the comfort of the sofa."

A vulnerability in Twitter Inc.'s popular microblogging service remains unfixed and can be used by criminals to hijack accounts or redirect users to malicious Web sites, a developer claimed today. The cross-site scripting bug in Twitter allows hackers to insert malicious JavaScript into tweets simply by adding code to a field of an API used by third-party Twitter application developers.
A software developer, a U.K.-based search optimization specialist, Slater recommended that, until Twitter patches the vulnerability, users should stop following any Twitterers they don't personally know or trust. "Who's to say they're not already stealing your details? If you don't see their tweets, they can't harm you,"
Internet service providers (ISPs) have reacted with anger to new proposals on how to tackle internet piracy. The government is proposing a tougher stance which would include cutting off repeat offenders from the net.
TalkTalk's director of regulation Andrew Heaney told that the ISP was as keen as anyone to clamp down on illegal file-sharers. "This is best done by making sure there are legal alternatives and educating people, writing letters to alleged file-sharers and, if necessary, taking them to court. But disconnecting alleged offenders will be futile given that it is relatively easy for determined file-sharers to mask their identity or their activity to avoid detection," he added.
Users of social networks are concerned about security but few are taking the steps necessary to protect themselves against online crime, according to a survey released on Wednesday.
Nearly 20 percent of those surveyed said they have experienced identity theft, 47 percent have been victims of malware infections and 55 percent have seen "phishing" attacks, in which hackers seek to capture password information. They also suggested that passwords be changed at least once a month and that friends or coworkers not be allowed to access one's personal computer.

Fans searching for "Jessica Biel" or "Jessica Biel downloads," "Jessica Biel wallpaper," "Jessica Biel screen savers," "Jessica Biel photos," and "Jessica Biel videos" have a one in five chance of landing at a Web site that has tested positive for online threats such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware. McAfee's conclusion: Searching for the latest celebrity news and downloads can cause serious damage to personal computers.
"Consumers' obsession with celebrity news and culture is harmless in theory, but one bad download can cause a lot of damage to a computer."

Internet criminals might be rethinking a favorite scam for stealing people's personal information. A report being released Wednesday by IBM Corp. shows a big drop in the volume of "phishing" e-mails, in which fraud artists send what looks like a legitimate message from a bank or some other company. If the recipients click on a link in a phishing e-mail, they land on a rogue Web site that captures their passwords, account numbers or any other information they might enter.
To protect yourself against phishing, access sensitive sites on your own, rather than by following links in e-mails, which might lead to phishing sites.
The average gamer, far from being a teen, is actually a 35-year-old man who is overweight, aggressive, introverted and often depressed, according to a report out this week from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The study also shows that when children and teenagers become game players, a trend toward physical inactivity and corresponding health problems extends -- and is exacerbated -- into adulthood.
"Among researchers, there is growing concern and uncertainty about the health consequences of video game playing," the CDC reported.
The German government warned job-seekers Friday to avoid posting potentially compromising pictures or remarks on social networking sites such as Facebook, citing a study about their use by employers. Consumer affairs minister Ilse Aigner "calls on citizens who use the Internet often to think about what they put online," a spokeswoman for her ministry told a regular government news conference.
28 percent of the around 500 German companies polled searched for information about their would-be employees' hobbies, political opinions and personal lives.
Albert Gonzalez, the man described by federal authorities as the kingpin of a gang responsible for stealing more than 130 million payment cards, is a computer addict constantly looking for ways to challenge his abilities, according to his lawyer. He has had an unhealthy obsession with computers since the age of 8. "He was self-taught, He didn't go out in the sandbox or play baseball. The computer was his best friend."
"It wasn't healthy. It's a sickness. It's a problem that has not been addressed in our society."
Switzerland's data protection watchdog on Friday demanded that Google immediately withdraw the "Street View" facility it has started offering on its map of Switzerland. Federal data protection and transparency officer Hanspeter Thuer released a statement warning that the US-based Internet giant was not respecting conditions he set to respect personal privacy in Switzerland.
The online service, which began in the United States, has sparked controversy because the snapshots also inadvertently capture passers-by on camera, sometimes in embarrassing or private moments.
The first US retreat for Internet addicts has opened its doors, welcoming a teenager that was captive to World of Warcraft online role-playing videogame. The 19-year-old boy went from pursuing quests in Azeroth to bottle-feeding baby goats and building a chicken coop as part of a reStart Internet Addiction Recovery Program at a rural five acre spread in the state of Washington.
"It is about helping people addicted to technology get through the withdrawal and help their brains get wired back to normal and connected to the world in a positive way. Games are really designed to keep people hooked. Those that stay hooked are people really vulnerable for whom the world is painful or scary."
Facebook, for better or worse, is like being at a big party with all your friends, family, acquaintances and co-workers. There are lots of fun, interesting people you're happy to talk to when they stroll up.
Sure, Facebook can be a great tool for keeping up with folks who are important to you. But far more posts read like navel-gazing diary entries, or worse, spam. A recent study categorized 40 percent of Twitter tweets as "pointless babble," and it wouldn't be surprising if updates on Facebook, still a fast-growing social network, break down in a similar way. Here are 12 of the most annoying types of Facebook users:

A Canadian model has won a landmark case in a New York court after Google was forced to disclose the online identity of a blogger who anonymously posted derogatory comments about the Vogue covergirl. The ruling came after Liskula Cohen, 36, filed suit in a bid to unmask the identify of her tormentor, who posted suggestive photographs of Cohen on the blog and described her as a "ho" and a "psychotic, lying, whoring... skank."
Google said that while the company does not tolerate "cyber bullying" it is also respectful of privacy. "We sympathize with anyone who may be the victim of cyber bullying,"
The clock is ticking, people are dying and a flu virus is sweeping the globe -- that is the scenario of a new computer game designed to make people think about how to respond to the swine flu pandemic. In "The Great Flu", players must choose whether or not to stockpile anti-viral drugs and deploy research teams to new areas of outbreak as the number of infections and deaths rises and more countries are affected.
"The game is very realistic and has an educational value. It informs people how the virus spreads, what the flu is and on the ways to fight the pandemic."
A 14-year-old boy was in critical condition in hospital with kidney failure after repeated beatings at an Internet rehabilitation camp in southwest China, state media said Wednesday. The incident in Sichuan province took place just weeks after another teenage boy was beaten to death at a similar rehabilitation centre in the south of the country where his parents had sent him to cure his Internet addiction.
China has 10 million teenage web addicts, the China Daily said, citing data from the China Youth Internet Association. The association said last week that there are at least 400 private Internet rehabilitation clinics nationwide.
US prosecutors have charged a man with stealing data relating to 130 million credit and debit cards. Officials say it is the biggest case of identity theft in American history.
They say Albert Gonzalez, 28, and two un-named Russian co-conspirators hacked into the payment systems of retailers, including the 7-Eleven chain. Prosecutors say they aimed to sell the data on. If convicted, Mr Gonzalez faces up to 20 years in jail for wire fraud and five years for conspiracy.
The cyberattacks against Georgia a year ago were conducted in close connection with Russian criminal gangs, and the attackers likely were tipped off about Russia's intent to invade the country, according to a new technical analysis, much of which remains secret. The stunning conclusions come from the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit, an independent nonprofit research institute that assesses the impact of cyber attacks.
Bombers struck targets throughout the country, and at the same time Georgian media and government sites fell under DDOS attack.
A new hacking incident report warns there has been a steep rise in attacks at social-networking hotspots including wildly popular microblogging service Twitter. Hackers aren't just hunting for victims in the flocks of people at social networks, they're also using Twitter to command "botnet" armies of infected computers, according to Internet security specialists.

The 24-year-old Singaporean research analyst is constantly on the lookout for attack manuals, video clips of Islamist militants in training and fiery extremist chatter that could hint at an imminent assault somewhere.
Nur Azlin is one of five research analysts at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies who monitor extremist websites daily to get a sense of an emerging battleground in the fight against terrorism. There are an estimated 5,500-6,000 websites worldwide peddling extremist ideas, according to the researchers.
A researcher looking into the attacks that knocked Twitter offline last week discovered another, unrelated security problem. At least one criminal was using a Twitter account to control a network of a couple hundred infected personal computers, mostly in Brazil.
Networks of infected PCs are referred to as "botnets" and are responsible for so much of the mayhem online, from identity theft to spamming to the types of attacks that crippled Twitter. A Twitter account that was used to send out what looked like garbled messages. But they were actually commands for computers in a botnet to visit malicious Web sites, where they download programs that steal banking passwords.
Foreign pornography producers are suing South Korean Internet users for breach of copyright by uploading their content onto local websites, police said Thursday. In an unusual case, a local law firm representing 50 US and Japanese porn producers has filed suit against about 10,000 heavy uploaders.
The lawsuit was filed simultaneously through 10 police stations in Seoul and the adjoining Gyeonggi province, a National Police Agency spokesman said, refusing to give details. "We selected about 10,000 user IDs that earned financial benefits from habitually uploading pornography on websites," an official of the unidentified law firm told local media.
Children are using the Internet to watch YouTube videos, connect with friends on social network sites and look up "sex" and "porn", according to a study of the top Web searches by youngsters. The words "sex" and "porn" also made it into the top 10, ranked numbers four and six respectively.
"It also helps identify "teachable moments" when parents should be talking with their kids about appropriate online behavior and other issues in their kids' online lives," California-based Symantec's Internet safety advocate Marian Merritt said in a statement.

BofA sees 3Q
profit decline
Bank of America Corp. reported its third-quarter net income fell 95 percent, to $340 million, breaking even on a per-share basis, from $6.2 billion, or 56 cents, a year earlier. Revenue at the firm dropped 28 percent, to $20.4 billion before adjustments, and was little changed from the same quarter a year ago.
Intel 3Q net
income off
Intel, the world's biggest maker of chips, said net income in the third quarter fell 14.3 percent, to $3 billion, or 58 cents a share, from $3.5 billion, or 65 cents a share, a year earlier. Revenue was $13.5 billion, down 5 percent.
IBM reports 3Q
results mixed
IBM said its third-quarter profit of $3.8 billion was unchanged from a year ago. Earnings per share, though, worked out to $3.33 per share, a gain from $3.19 a year ago because the company has less stock outstanding. The performance marked the 39th consecutive quarter in which IBM's earnings per share rose from the previous year.
eBay unveils
big redesign
in a switch, eBay has redesigned its website to encourage visitors to browse and collect items they might want to buy later. The site shows users items based on things they bought in the past or items on which they've clicked. Shoppers also can edit their feed by adding or removing items. The online retailer wants its shopping to feel more like window-shopping or browsing in a traditional store.
American Express
profit inches up
American Express says its net income rose 1 percent in the third quarter as its customers spent more money, boosting revenue for the credit card issuer. But the rate of growth in spending was slower than earlier this year, echoing a trend among major card issuers. The company posted net income of $1.25 billion, or $1.09 per share, compared with net income of $1.24 billion, or $1.03 per share, in the same period last year. Revenue rose 4 percent, to $7.86 billion.

Can anyone know how to post a website in facebook. Example; if www.mydomain.com is my site, then can I post my site on facebook like MyDomain | Facebook ??? Any idea???
create a fan page for your website and then you can do it.. otherwise facebook doesn't allow to use html...
Yes, you can post. After login to your profile page you will an option link. Just copy your URL to here and share. It will directly post to Facebook
Facebook allows vanity urls for brand pages after you have 25 fans. URLs must be unique of course which is a problem on generic names. You can assign a name by visiting Login | Facebook
I am not asking about to create a simple page. I just want to post my website into facebook, with my contact, about us page. Is there any way?
It appears that you are asking if Facebook will host your entire website. The answer to that is no.
No man. You are wrong. Its possible, because in my neighbour hood there is a huge shopping mall. And someone has posted all the details in Facebook about that mall as a website and I don't think its an App. The mall having some multiplex in it, and the movie show time and all details are showing in this facebook app/page that is changing periodically. I am giving the facebook url here. Oberon Mall | Facebook
First you create a page. Then you have to create some apps. Facebook apps allow you to add content that will be loaded into an iframe. That's why on the page you can see it has links and such but the links reference a different app for each link for the different content. Pretty ingenious if you ask me.
Exactly. Their website (.com) is entirely different than their Facebook pages.
Facebook tabs can mimic certain functionality but ultimately the medium is very different both in terms of what you can do (single tabs, limited scripting, 520 pixel width) and in goal. With facebook the user is already on engaging so the focus becomes more on how to show and gather user generated content. Businesses are starting to layer commerce in onto the platform as well with stores but you can't just expect to sell -- you need to build affinity and harness user interactions to get the audience to have a shopping value.
Yes ofcourse you can take a look of my facebook page fust go to my blog through signature and check my facbook page link... You can too do it very easily just you need to go my "facebook tips and tricks" panel in the right sidebar and then go for "how to create facebook fan pages" and if your facebook fan page becomes atleast 25 then you can rename it whatever your domain.
Best Regards!
If that was a facebook app, then where is the "apps" prefix in the url?? I can't find the "apps dot facebbok dot com/name", its only like "facebook dot com/name".
There is no "apps" prefix. It is a "Facebook Page" just like this one:
Bang! Web Site Design, Inc. | Facebook
I don't think its just a facebook page. If its only a facebook page then it should contain only the static values. But the movie show times are regularly changing. How?
At this point, it probably doesn't matter what we tell you. You seem pretty solid in your belief that it "isn't" a Facebook page. Perhaps the best thing for you to do is to research your question at the source, which would be Facebook.
I would contact their support with your questions.
yes, you can do it. But you need to integrate application for this. Take help from application developers who can do this work
Yes, I have. u need to create your page then fb allows you to put lot of things on ur page and the url for your site. That can be traced.
As for my knowledge i had the idea about it that i can make a Facebook Fanpage and then after having 25 fan for that page we can give a url of our desire, but from this post i have learned a lot about the facebook... thanks for the posting .
Of Course You Can!! On Facebook Connect Wizard you enter the name of your site and its URL then upload a special file to your site's main directory after that facebook will show you a list of code including new feeds, login button, photos, and photos of friends just implement all these things. after implementation you will see it worked.
Facebook will not allow you to post a website on your profile.As of my understanding, you can post a site on Facebook if you have created a web app.

Best Of :: People & Places
Look, how you spend your free time is your own business. But if you're planning to use your next day off to snorkel in the Upper Keys or ride your BMX through Flamingo Park, we're going to just say it: We think you're boring. There's a town just an hour and half north that's named after a planet. And as if that weren't enough of a draw, Jupiter is home to a museum celebrating the most virile man to succeed in Hollywood, Burt Reynolds. That's right — the mustached man is a Florida boy. He graduated from Palm Beach High and played football for Florida State University. The Burt Reynolds & Friends Museum started as an acting studio and dinner theater. It now houses film stills and memorabilia from Reynolds's illustrious career. He had starring roles in Deliverance, Smokey and the Bandit, and more recently Striptease and Boogie Nights. Reynolds was even asked to fill Sean Connery's shoes as the next James Bond. But he realized he could never pull off the well-coifed, martini-swilling hero. His brand of manliness was too steeped in Americana: dirty fingernails, faded blue jeans, and the musky BO of a hard day's work. Gawk at the Bandit's black Trans Am and his sheriff boots from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. But the museum's pièce de résistance is the infamous canoe from Deliverance. This time, it'll make you squeal with delight. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and admission is $5.
What you need is a weekend away. But alas, Miamians, you're already living in the very place most Floridians vacation. So where to go? If you answered the Keys, go ahead and line up in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Seven Mile Bridge. (Besides, it's the same pastel motels, just more coconuts.) Instead, steer the car north like you're heading for Disney, but bypass all the mouse-touting exits and that spooky biblical theme park called the Holy Land Experience. Deep in the Ocala National Forest is Wekiwa Springs State Park, where you can spend the weekend camping in a backcountry Florida Shangri-la. Here's the scene: Moss-draped oaks canopy the park's springs, and pristine blue water nestles in natural rock that, thanks to the Floridan Aquifer, is always a cool 72 degrees. As for lodging, choose one of the campsites in the inner circle for the best shade, and kayak the Wekiwa Lagoon for some guaranteed gator watching. Camping costs $24 a night, or for primitive camping, $5 a person. Otherwise, park admission is $6 per car. For noncampers, the park is open 8 a.m. to sunset.
Most TV news talking heads, even the dudes, look and act like failed beauty queens trying to make a second career for themselves. But WSVN's Belkys Nerey bucks that trend. The 42-year-old Emmy winner is a solid, straight-up anchorwoman — telegenic but still intelligent. Born in Havana, Nerey spent her childhood in Long Island before tripping down I-95 to South Florida. Once here, she studied radio and television at Miami Dade College and Florida International University, got her start in cable news, and earned a spot in the Magic City's media parade as cohost of local gossip institution Deco Drive. Today, Nerey is cruising through the post-Deco phase of her career, holding down WSVN's nightly newscasts alongside Craig Stevens. And whether it's a celebrity sex scandal or a political con job, she always delivers the day's stories with appropriate seriousness. Case in point: Unlike some of the lesser faces populating the public airwaves, Nerey never falls prey to that annoying TV anchor tic of flashing a vacant smile after reporting Miami's latest murder.
Without warning, a woman brandishes two bushels of tree limbs and proceeds to beat our friend Lourdes from toes to shoulders. Between sweeps of the soggy branches, the woman dumps bucket after bucket of cold water on our friend. No, she's not swabbing the deck of a fishing boat. She's helping Lourdes relax with platza, one of the traditional spa treatments available at the Russian and Turkish Baths on Miami Beach. The baths attract Miami's ultimate relaxation-seekers, those who are willing to abandon modesty, vanity, and sometimes plain old comfort if it gets them closer to bliss. Women and men in barely-there bathing suits, heads wrapped in towel turbans, endure the volcanic heat of the schvitz as if sweating were a way to absolve past sins. A skeletal older man stands under a heavy waterfall that pounds on his bony shoulders. He raises his head, eyes closed, waiting to be beamed up to the mother ship. Make your way through the rest of the grotto-like rooms and hear the cries of those jumping into the icy polar tank; catch glimpses of red flesh, pores screaming from the extreme heat, and shield your eyes from the meaty woman having the mud hosed off. What are you looking at, you perv? Pass the wet branches and wait your turn. A day pass costs $30, and the baths are open from noon until midnight.
Michael Putney doesn't tweet. He doesn't pop up when we search his name on Facebook. And as far as we can tell, he doesn't blog. No, sir, Michael Putney is decidedly old school, and in this Internet age, we couldn't appreciate him more. While most TV reporters seem to come and go, Putney has been covering local government and politics in South Florida for nearly 30 years. Add to his incisive reporting a hosting gig on This Week in South Florida, one of the few must-watch local programs, and his occasional columns in the Miami Herald (which often upstage the newspaper's regular gaggle of columnists). There are few voices on local airwaves we trust as much as Putney and who report on politics with such authority.
Miami is a town where clubs spit out adjectives like exclusive, VIP, and upscale like an overchewed piece of Juicy Fruit. But WALL Lounge is actually one of the few places that can blow hard without bursting its own bubble. Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, the All American Rejects, Erykah Badu, Swizz Beatz, Jamie Foxx, Jason Binn, and Selita Ebanks are just a few of the celebrities who have walked through WALL's infamous doors. Other guest sightings have been rumored, but unless the press snaps a picture, they're almost impossible to confirm. In fact, it's nearly impossible to get a photo of the place, period. WALL's success lies in its size; it is so boutique it does not merit a VIP section — the lounge itself is the VIP. So if you're lucky enough to get in, keep the video phone ready — you might catch a TMZ-worthy moment.

Forget Wheaties boxes. That was so 1990s.
Pop Tarts have (momentarily) taken over cereal boxes in the cool athletics collectables category.
Five universities have partnered with Kellogg's on limited edition Pop Tarts.
Right when it seems like it's a slow news day, something crazy and out of the ordinary like this happens. Thank you, Kellogg's.
The boxes feature school logos and are being labeled "printed fun." As one can guess, the flavor coincides with the school's athletic team.
The flavors are as follows: Michigan's Pop Tart flavor is Go Blue Strawberry; Georgia is Bulldog Berry; Arkansas is Razorback Red; Florida is Florida Gators Strawberry; and North Carolina is Tar Heel Blue.
So, we can definitely expect die-hard fans to go crazy like THIS at supermarkets trying to shop for Pop Tarts, which are already scrumptious enough anyway.
The best part about this: The hilarious reaction on Twitter. Here's a scroll of some of the best tweets:
"@DanWolkenUSAT: East Carolina's Pop Tarts keep applying to be Toaster Strudels #okayimdone"
"@Andrew_Gribble: MAC Pop Tarts: Unable to be toasted on Saturdays."
"@Mengus22: Maryland Pop Tarts would taste bad, but look far, far worse."
"@Mengus22: A meme is born RT @CecilHurt: Just tried the North Carolina logo Pop Tart in a taste test.I gave it a C-minus but someone changed it to an A"
"@RobDauster: As much as we all enjoy Kentucky's Pop-Tarts it's only a matter of time before breakfast has been vacated."
"@KegsnEggs: The WAC Pop Tarts have been discontinued. : )"

Dear Pete Campbell, A Word of AdviceBy Adam Wilson
You've always creeped me out. This isn't entirely your fault. You can blame your parents for the beady eyes and the cheeks as yet untouched by razor; for your emotional immaturity; for the fortune they squandered and the love they withheld; and for the Waspy sense of privilege they nonetheless managed to confer on your skinny ass.
And so I don't hate you, Pete, as others are wont to do. Sure, you've done some shitty things—getting Peggy preggers then treating her like trash; blackmailing Don into making you head of accounts; last night's display of pathetic adultery with that chick from The Gilmore Girls—but I feel a strange affinity for you anyway.

This is a celebratory time of year for me as it is the first birthday of this blog (and also my not quite 50 Birthday)
It has been a wonderful year! I have met so many lovely people in the Geneablogger community. I have not managed to post as regularly as I would have liked during the past year but have managed 74 posts just over one a week with another 23 half written waiting to post.
There have been just over 5000 visits to the blog in that time, with contact established with four people also researching my family. Blogs can be great cousins attractants!
I have also had wonderful help from blog readers in identifying military photographs.
Thank you to all of you! Hopefully this is just the first of many birthdays to come! I am having much too much fun to quit now!

Quality, built-in ironing centers since 1956
Easy Installation
HOMETIME hosted by Dean Johnson highlights an easy installation process using one of our new improved ironing center.
Messages by day
|All ironing centers except the NE-242 are designed to fit between 2" x 4" studs on 16" center, but you can surface mount all units.
|Always check specifications prior to ordering. You want to make sure you can lower the board completely and you're able to iron comfortably.
|You're sure to impress and feel your clothes look their best, when time and care are taken to iron them.
|Trouser creases stay in place when you rub the crease on the inside of the pant leg with a piece of wet soap and then press on the right side.
|It's safe to use sizing or spray starch on a garment as long as it is labeled "machine washable."
|Did you know that the useable space for ironing is greater on an IRON-A-WAY 42" or 46" ironing board than on a standard stand-up ironing board?
|Quick spray starch can be made at home by slowly adding 1 Tbls. Cornstarch to 2 cups water. Stir until the starch is dissolved. Pour into a clean spray bottle and spray fabrics lighting when ironing.
|Pressing costs between $3 to $5 per garment. At about 5 outfits per week can add up to $25 or more or $1300 per year. By investing one time in a quality built-in ironing center and ironing your own clothes, the product is paid for within six months and you will save dramatically on future dry cleaning expenses. This is not to mention gas and the inconvenience of dropping and picking up your garments.
|You can have your own custom door by removing the standard birch door and adding your own.
|The swivel board allows you to use both ends of the board. Using the narrow end for the collar, cuffs, and shoulder and then switching to the wide end to iron large pieces of a men's shirt really presents just as nice as the cleaners and much cheaper.

REIGNING Twenty20 World Cup champions the West Indies flexed their muscle against a depleted Australia to clinch a 27-run victory in their one-off international at the Gabba on Wednesday night.
National T20 captain George Bailey led out an unheralded line-up featuring three debutants.
In the end, Australia's inexperience showed as it stumbled to 8-164 in response to a fast-finishing Windies' 6-191 in front of a crowd of 19,562.
It ensured the Windies ended their horror tour with a smile following their 5-0 one-day series loss to Australia.
Denied Australian cricket's biggest stars because of the clash with the Test tour of India, fans voted with their feet in Brisbane - barely half of the Gabba was full for what was supposed to be this summer's international cricket climax.
While players tried to thrust their names in front of Test selectors in the two-day clash with the Indian Board President's XI in Chennai, punters were struggling to recognise all the Australian T20 players at the Gabba.
Chasing 192 for victory, Australia looked comfortable at 1-79 in the 10th over, with Shaun Marsh and Adam Voges at the crease, before two run-outs in three balls turned the match on its head.
First Marsh (21 off 19 balls) was caught short by Tino Best at cover after being called through for a quick single, ending a 74-run second-wicket stand.
Next over it was Voges (51 off 32 balls) taking the long walk back to the pavilion after Australia lost 2-3.
A cheeky single was attempted after wicketkeeper Devon Thomas fumbled, but he redeemed himself by throwing down the stumps to catch out Voges at the striker's end.
Just like Voges, captain Bailey (15) overcame a hamstring complaint to earn a last-minute selection, but he was snared by spinner Sunil Narine.
Brad Haddin (22 off 11 balls) tried to give Australia a sniff, at one stage bludgeoning Narine for two sixes and a four in three balls, before hitting out once too often against Kieron Pollard. Pollard then cleaned up, at one stage eyeing a hat-trick as the mini-collapse became a full-blown crisis for Australia.
The hosts initially punched above their weight to restrict the Windies after the early loss of matchwinning opener Chris Gayle (eight) in the second over. Left-arm quick James Faulkner (3-28 off four overs) was a thorn in the Windies' side, at one stage taking two wickets in three balls.
Opener Johnson Charles shared an 88-run second-wicket stand with Darren Bravo (32) to steady the innings. But it was the late hitting of Pollard (26), Andre Russell and captain Darren Sammy that helped lift the Windies to a more than competitive target.

I'd really like to see Stanzi obviously. There's a good chance he's not even close to ready, but I know Cassel ain't it, and I'm almost sure Quinn isn't. Chances are we still don't win more then 2-3 with Stanzi, unless he really is the next Brady, so we could still have a really good pick for a QBOTF.
Whoever our next HC or FO is can make their own decision, and make an informed one then with some real NFL footage on him. I don't think there's much chance of ruining him ala David Carr, as our team is too good for that to happen. If he loses confidence with this supporting cast, then he wouldn't ever be the QBOTF anyway.
If he wins 5-6 games to put us out of the reach of a top guy, that probably means he's worth giving a chance next year. If he doesn't worst case scenario, we know exactly what we've got, and can move on. Best case scenario, we end up with a QBOTF, and maybe even two, in the same way the Bolts took Rivers with Brees in house, who came on the next year.
In reality, I've probably got about as good of a chance of starting at this point. He might see some action in the last 3-4 games if that.

I stick to my assertion that with no viable option to start the season, we'd of been better off going with Stanzi and he would be our best QB by atleast week 6-8, if not sooner.
I went on and on about how it wasn't that far fetched...he's clearly the most accurate, seems to be able to go through progressions when given time better than Cassel if not Quinn, he's got the best mechanics. Funniest thing of all, the game plans would most likely have been more conservative throwing the ball (like they should be for Cassel, although not to the extreme of the Bal or TB game) and we never would have turned the ball over so much.

I don't want Stanzi to play and here is why. We all know Cassel blows but Stanzi I believe might be a backup at best. We have a shot at an elite QB prospect this year. No 2nd or 3rd rd QB's like Stanzi, Croyle. I mean a 1st rd talent like Barkley and Wilson. And with the way we are playing now we have a legit shot at 1st overall pick. I see 4 scenarios.
1st- Cassel plays like normal we get 1st pick draft a real QB prospect
2nd- Cassel somehow wins some games we miss out on top QBs in draft stuck with another 2nd or 3rd rd QB and stuck being bad!!!
3rd- Stanzi comes in bombs we get 1st pick draft a real QB prospect
4th- Stanzi comes in plays well team thinks we have something miss out on our future because Stanzi is the next Fitzpatrick Cassel
BACKUP QB starting
Lets just let Cassel finish his Chiefs Career and start the future with a top QB prospect!!!

Forget what you've seen of him in the preseason trying to impress playing with scrubs and a constant pass rush. He doesn't have everything you want, but there is some really good football in this kid unlike the other two. If nothing else i'm positive he's the best passer on this team (I don't know that it's close). If he is behind the other QB's in other categories he can learn as he goes and he seems like someone who will get better with playing time, not worse.
That being said if there is no change in offensive philosophy and the play calling continues to be mindless, it could be even more rough on him than it is on the other two. He's gonna want to make some plays which is what we need from this position, but could easily get frustrated if we wait until we're getting blown out to let him really throw it.
He was my day one pick as starting QB this year based on being the best pure passer, a proven leader, the clutch factor, the most accurate, best mechanics, and the most likely to improve. Needless to say, nothing has changed my mind.

What I would do to prevent this would be to start Stanzi once we have mathematically locked up the 1st pick in the draft. That way, even if he wins, it wont hurt our draft spot.

That might not be until week 17 though.
Personally, I let him play the last 3-4 games regardless. If we win just one or two, we can still get a really good QB prospect. If he wins all of them, we could still get a good QB, but would we really want one if he won all 3-4?

I remember when KC drafted Stanzi, I was stoked! A good buddy of mine is a (Nebraska/)KC fan and I'm an (Iowa/)Detroit fan. I told him Stanzi just needs some time to get up to the speed of the NFL (maybe a season as a backup) and then he could see that Stanzi was something special.
I remember watching his rookie preseason games. He wasn't terrible, stared down his WRs a little, like any rookie but made some really good throws (like his first TD). I thought he looked promising for a young backup.
Then, he never had his shot. Cassel gets injured and KC rides the Palko train. I remember thinking that if Houston or Arizona (who was 1 pick away from his draft spot/was on the phone with him when KC drafted him) would have selected him, he would have had his NFL debut already. I thought that maybe it wasn't his time yet, being a rookie and all. So, I waited. He didn't get his rookie chance.
This year, new HC, OC, new opportunities...
I watched the preseason games this year... He never had a chance to show what he had. I remember him running for his life in the Ravens game, he was sacked (maybe took a shot to the face in the Rams game), WRs dropping balls. He wasn't anything close to perfect himself but he never had time to develop a rythem or chemistry. I never understood why Quinn or Stanzi never had a chance to play with the 1s to see who should be the 2nd stringer (maybe the last preseason game when you know Cassel was the starter?). Anyway...
So, I waited.
Cassel gets hurt and Quinn gets the call. He looked decent in the Cassel injury game (Ravens?) so, I didn't strongly disagree with the choice of Quinn starting. Then Quinn gets hurt, Cassel is back to being the starter. I understand you want to win games but don't you want to see what you have in the young QB with only one win on the season? I just don't get it. I swear, if he would have been drafted anywhere else he may have played a real NFL snap.
I don't know if he will ever get a shot in KC but I think he will show some promise. Iowa's big run a few years ago had a lot to do with Stanzi and it hasn't been the same since he left. He doesn't make the best decisions at times but improves with every growing pain.
I just wish that KC eventually gives him a shot. Maybe it will happen this year, maybe it won't but I don't think it would hurt.

The Chiefs do everything wrong at the QB position ever since Montana with the exception of Green...Stanzi actually has a feel for the game, good mechanics, accuracy, and potential...so no, he won't be playing.

Matt Cassel on the OT INT:
I was throwing the curl and unfortunately a DL deflected it a little bit and it came off and went in a direction we didn't want it to go
Are you kidding me Matt? Take some freaking responsibility.

I've seen this kid play and he is all GUTS! He's a guy you can watch go through going pains from the 1st quarter to the 4th quarter when he was at Iowa, I have no doubt he is still very similar. Slow starter but great finisher.
I just don't believe this FO and staff are willing to go through growing pains with him. Maybe Cassel has made them gun shy.. I mean that dude literally has tarnished reputations beyond repair!
I think the only way Stanzi gets in by their CHOICE is if he is completely lights out ready beforehand. If that makes sense. They want the finished product without working for it. Had he got snaps last year like he should have he'd be so much better off right now. Instead he is frozen in place - unable to get experience and refine his game and unable to improve without the experiences.

I wouldnt mind seeing him at least get one start and go from there. Season is pretty much over for us as we are just about eliminated from any play off hope. The best thing we can do with the rest of the season is to give younger players a chance.
Worst case senario we have the number 1 overall pick and we know Stanzi isnt in our future plans.
Best case Stanzi lights it up and we can go in a different direction in our 2013 offseason. Wonder what woudl have happened to Brady if Bledsoe hadn't gotten knocked out?
Thanks for the sig Saintsfan
