skin to go
We brought in a specialist to tell us in no uncertain terms how utterly daft Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's new R8 revolver was. Just three days after the R8 was patched in for the Winter Update, Valve appears to agree with the conclusion that a one-shotting pistol with pinpoint accuracy is silly.The inclusion of Papers, Please was interesting, since it highlights the biggest strength of Steam Machines in general: indie games. The PC is the most open platform for developers of small, simple-to-control games, while consoles are the most accessible way for players to consume them. Combining the two was supposed to be the Ouya's job, but with that disaster quickly fading in the rear-view it's the catalog of Steam and the fidelity of the Steam Controller that look like they could combine to realize that goal. Even if the pads are too cumbersome for the top 5% of shooter players, that still leaves any number of players hungry for a living room solution.The SteelSeries Kana CounterStrike: Global Offensive Edition is a mid-range gaming mouse that SteelSeries describes as "more than a Kinzu and not quite a Sensei… in size and features." Aimed at dedicated gamers who want a solid gaming-worthy mouse without (completely) breaking the bank, the Kana CS:GO Edition looks to compete with mid-level offerings from other gaming peripheral manufacturers such as Razer's DeathAdder, Cooler Master's CM Storm Inferno, and Logitech's G400. How does the Kana CS:GO Edition stack up to its competitors? SteelSeries graciously sent us a test product to review, so we put it to the test to figure out its capabilities as well as its limitations."It's not just offline audiences we're aiming for: television broadcasts, a higher standard of online production, a continued emphasis on competitive integrity—these are just some of the things you will see this year."A scammy Steam user has come up with Chrome extensions that can steal the Steam inventory of his victims and send the items to himelf.I wanted to cheat in CS:GO.

After some spooky celebrations for Halloween at the end of last month, Valve is now rolling out a fresh update that brings forth a new operation, not to mention plenty of other goodies.Now, a brand new patch just been released by developer Valve, and the studio has stayed true to its word from last week, as it's a big update with plenty of changes to the multiplayer-only first-person shooter.ADVERTISING
So that's quite a tangled web. That said, I'm not entirely sure how falsely raising a ruckus about this would've helped Orgless wriggle out of their contractual obligations to CSGO.one. I doubt there was a "If we ask you to help fix a match, you can leave sans any consequences" clause in place. Who knows, though? Contracts are weird.The Daily Dot report that Wolski left the team due to a dispute involving months of pay owed by his former team Supa Hot Crew—a team linked to MYM through the company AK3 GmbH. A number of current and former MYM staff are employees of AK3, and Wolski said he was worried about similar issues with his new team."Instead of being able to change your CS:GO Double theme, your items from your inventory are getting stolen," says Blaze in his blog post. "[I]nstead of trading with X or Y person you trust, the items then go to the scammer rather than whoever you're trading with."As the extensions' names imply, the scam is aimed at users of "Counter Strike Global Offensive" (CS:GO). The scammer with a public display name Delta advertised these extensions as auto-gambling bots or as helpers for carrying out Steam trades.
Launched in January 2015, OPSkins Group Inc. intended to take advantage of the growing demand for a safe way to trade skins for money. The site partnered with BitPay in August last year and since then it has seen an ever-increasing demand for bitcoin transactions.Not long after launching, OPSkins saw a demand for bitcoin payments for CS:GO virtual items. This is not an uncommon thing nowadays for virtual item trades Team Fortress 2 trading site Dispenser.tf provides bitcoin trades. On the other side of legitimacy, Star Trek Online "gold seller" Divine Treasury accepts bitcoins for in game items (although this is against the terms of service).The UK Gambling Commission, which regulates betting, declined to comment on individual providers but said any site offering gambling services to British residents must be registered.Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or CS:GO, an online first-person shooter from Hidden Path Entertainment and Valve Corporation, has just hit another record high.Not all of the hard work required to make CS:GO the success it is today has been done by Valve. Some fortunate outside forces have also acted upon the fate of Counter-Strike, and the rest of the esports world along with it. The huge success of live streaming platforms like Twitch, perhaps more than anything else, has been an enormous driving force behind the ability of esports to reach a wider audience than ever before.The number of Twitch staff members and admins who show up in the chat of any major tournament stream is testament to this fact - beyond simply providing the platform for esports to broadcast themselves, Twitch has been a huge advocate for competitive gaming in general.The current state of gaming peripherals is all about shades of black, hits of color, and exciting edges. To different degrees, the boards are in line with that look. While the Logitech has wild loops and angles, the Razer and SteelSeries are a bit more subdued, with smooth corners, matte and glossy black, and stylized print on the keycaps.That's certainly not an issue they have to deal with for games like Call of Duty or Battlefield, so this is some new territory for FPS fans to navigate. Let us know your take in the comments below.Evolve is an asymmetrical multiplayer game where a team of hunters chase down a monster. It was made by the hugely talented Left 4 Dead developers over six years before being released early in 2015, and I thought it was great. But publisher 2K, so convinced of the game's quality, put in place various DLC packages and pre-order bonuses to milk what it expected to be an enormous community. The perception took hold that Evolve was ripping off players—who had to buy the "core" game first—and it failed to sell in anything like the numbers expected. Now it's dead.
Tripwire's anti-cheat strategy is three-pronged. The first is technical, using both VAC and Punkbuster. This is one topic Gibson was secretive about, but he said Tripwire uses both because "they handle things in different ways." The second is being a proactive developer. When Tripwire notices a loophole, it closes it as fast as possible. When Red Orchestra 2 first launched, it didn't do a whole lot of server-side validation on hit detection. The game was plagued by hacks that allowed your machine to tell the server you shot someone in the head even when you were clear across the map. "Very quickly we put up an update that basically verified, within a reasonable margin of error, that they kind of have to be where you say you shoot them at," Gibson said. "If they're not, then we know that it's a hack and we ignore that shot."The higher level matches you're playing, the more you'll start seeing the same guns being used over and over again. There's not much debate over which weapons are the most useful in the average CS match: you'll need to learn to frag effectively with the AK-47 (when on the terrorist side), the M4A4 or M4A1-S (when on the CT side), and the AWP if you want to play that role (most five-man teams will only have one AWPer). It's worthwhile to get decent at some of the cheaper guns as well, but the vast majority of the time you will be using one of the above-mentioned rifles once you get into the more advanced ranks.CS:GO tips: Guide on how to get better at Counter-Strike: Global OffensiveOne map, Cache , only recently entered that collective consciousness. Cache was originally designed by Sal "Volcano" Garozzo for Counter-Strike: Source in Spring 2010. When CS:GO was released, Cache was ported to the Steam Workshop, where it became a staple of professional competitive leagues. After I created two GO maps of my own, I took a look at Cache and was impressed with what I saw. Maps like Cache have a unity to them—a clean, simple flow. I wasn't surprised to learn that Volcano was originally a professional CS player, and a legend in the scene. What was surprising was that Cache was the very first map he ever made. This was someone I had to work with. Now, after bringing an overhauled version of classic map Train back in December, the studio has rolled out the first patch for 2015 for CS: GO, making quite a few changes while also introducing a new skin case for players to enjoyA few big gameplay changes are also includedʏһҳúcapsule key csgo

Milky or cloudy swimming pool water can be a challenging problem to deal with. This is generally because it is difficult to know what is causing this unattractive discoloration of the water. One of the best tactics you can use is to try multiple possible solutions, starting with the most manageable or the most likely. Eventually, one of these solutions should be effective at treating the milky or cloudy water that has formed inside your swimming pool.
Things You'll Need
- Pool skimmer
- Pool vacuum cleaner
- Chemical kit
Remove debris from your pool water using a pool skimmer. Surface debris can be responsible for cloudy water.
Vacuum the floor of your pool using a pool vacuum cleaner. Built-up debris on the pool floor can be causing the milky or cloudy water.
Uncover your pool. The pool cover might be blocking UV rays, which are a natural way to kill bacteria that can cause cloudy water.
Jump in the water and swim around. It might seem unappealing to jump into milky or cloudy water, but lack of water movement may be causing the problem.
Remove any pool toys that have been floating in the water for several days or weeks. These toys could have a buildup of bacteria that are causing the cloudy water.
Balance the chemicals and pH content of the pool. Different areas and types of pools will require different pool chemicals. Check with your local pool supplier to obtain the proper kits for balancing your pool water.
Tips & Warnings
- If your pool water is still cloudy, check your pool filter and pump. Make sure they're running and working properly. If you have doubts, contact a professional pool repair person.

The Jedi Exile
- "I am the last of the Handmaidens, yes. It is a title reserved for that hero in the movie or game that can't live up to the demands of that title but never gives up (or gives up and gets raped), that (un)cool magician, samurai or Spartan, that title that goes out to the character in the movie over which all the fangirls, fanboys and bisexuals drool over. Except this time, that character is the last of an organization of somewhat-hot lesbian white girls who serve an ugly white cougar. Yes, I am the last of the Handmaidens, who you can not get enough influence over to explain her Jedi robes, whose name you will not know until the end of the game by which time it is meaningless, and the one that will always help you masturbate for a bargain price. Get used to it."
- ―Brianna breaks the fourth wall in a touching soliloquy to the player[src]
Brianna, also known simply as the Handmaiden, was a half-Human, half-Echani woman who served in the court of Atris the Bitchy in the years after the Jedi Civil War. Born to the forbidden union of Arren Kae and Yusanis of Echani, she grew up within a dancer/warrior society which encouraged bad poetry, discouraged humor and individuality, and equated brutal hand-to-hand combat with the deepest emotions and desires of sentient beings. Needless to say, she had it rough, but no matter what, her
loving and caring hard-ass half-sisters were always there to make sure she never dropped her guard lest she feast on knuckle sandwiches.
Upon first meeting the Jedi Exile, however, everything changed. Despite the wishes of the developers, she sought sanctuary with the Exile, though her patroness, Atris, had sent her out to spy upon the former Jedi Knight. Throughout the second epic journey of the Ebon Hawk, the Handmaiden honed her knowledge of the combat arts, passing on Echani techniques to the Exile, and through the older woman, learning of her Force-sensitivity and the fine art of girl-on-girl action. After a vicious confrontation with her sisters, then Atris, from whom she was rescued by the Exile, the Handmaiden confessed to her actual name, Brianna, and reaffirmed the fact that she honored the face of her mother.
Yeah. And prayed like mad that she wouldn't grow old so disgracefully.
Early life and trainingEdit
- "I know very little of my mother; she died when I was very young."
- ―Brianna
Brianna was the love-child of an illicit affair between Jedi Master and Historian Arren Kae and a famous Echani general, Yusanis. When the relationship was discovered, Kae was tossed unceremoniously from the Jedi Order; having nothing better to do, she joined Revan and Malak's forces in order to fight the Mandalorian Wars and kick Mando butt. Whether or not she took her infant daughter with her on campaign is uncertain, though Kae apparently met her end at the apocalyptic final battle.
While her mum was out chasing ghosts and digging through the muck, Brianna was taken in by Yusanis, who had her trained in the Echani
dancing fighting arts before his eventual lightsaber beatdown at the hands of Darth Revan some time later. In the wake of the Jedi Civil War, she was sent in secret to the pole of Telos IV, where Jedi Master and then-current Historian Atris the Bitchy had set up a secret Ice Academy, as a fallback for when the one on Dantooine went kablooie. Once there, she trained over and over and over again with Yusanis' other daughters, the five Handmaiden Sisters, while receiving special lessons on how to repel mind tricks. This mental armoring led to her being blind to her own Force-sensitivity.
Brianna Goes ForthEdit
- "Follow the Exile. Watch her movements; if she falls, do what you must."
- ―Atris gives Brianna her marching orders
She wasn't a terribly gifted student, however. Oh, she had the skills and physical ability, but throughout her training, Brianna always seemed distracted by something. Thoughts like honoring the face of her mother (oh, what a face...make your own joke here), why the kriff she was even freezing her ass off at the Academy, or what in the name of sam hill she was supposed to do while holding a self-sealing stem bolt, always kept her off her game just a wee bit. This resulted in her earning the dubious moniker of "last of the Handmaidens" as well as having to miss out on all the really good parties so she could train.
When the Lesbian Jedi Exile came to the Ice Academy looking for her stolen ship, the Ebon Hawk (which happened to be Revan's old rustbucket of a freighter), she found not only a three-pack of HK-50 assassin droids, but a lovely crop of fine-looking women—not to mention the most judgmental Jedi Master this side of the Unknown Regions. After quite a lengthy brouhaha culminating in quite a lot of aggressive negotiations, the Exile was allowed to free her friends, Atton Rand, Bao-Dur and the old hag Kreia, as well as the plucky T3-M4. Brianna, left on the sidelines by her mean half-sisters, nonetheless managed to glimpse the Exile as she wandered about. Intrigued by the older woman's history and sheer presence, she asked the Exile about what it was like to touch the Force. Satisfied with the response she received, Brianna then reported to Atris, who tasked her with spying on the Exile. Before the party departed Telos, she secreted herself onto the starship, hiding in the aft cargo hold.
Following the ExileEdit
- Exile: "Do you think you could put some clothes on?"
- Brianna: "After the way you've been undressing me with your eyes ever since we met at the Academy, are you sure?"
Exile: "C'mere, you..."
- — Brianna and the Exile
Her sudden appearance during the team's combing of Atris' records, which included the Exile's trial and expulsion, was not greeted with great joy among the crew. Rand was immediately suspicious of such a tasty morsel, while Kreia, who knew that her daughter now stood scant meters from her, was outright hostile. Bao-Dur didn't seem to give a ronto's rump. The Exile, however, took pity on Brianna, and allowed her to stay on board while the party searched for the lost Jedi Masters Vrook Lamar, Kavar, and Zez-Kai Ell. Relegated to the cargo hold in which she had stowed away, she spent most of her time in solitary training and distracted thought. As the journey continued, however, and the Exile picked up more followers, an uneasy truce settled amongst the party.
After scampering back and forth in some of the most unpleasant tourist traps of Nar Shaddaa, she began to see what drove the Exile: carnal lust for those of the same gender, and sorting out the mess that had once been the
glorious Galactic Republic. She helped to rescue the Exile from the clutches of the evil "misunderstood" G0-T0, personally shooting twenty-nine of his security droids and bashing five more into fragments. In the week that followed the hasty departure from the Smugglers' Moon, she and the Exile grew closer; as Brianna taught the ex-Jedi in the Echani arts, then learned of her own Force powers, the two fell in love lust "mutual understanding."
When the Exile and her party were called back to Onderon in order to bail Queen Talia out of a
little spot of bother Sith-backed attempt by her cousin, General Vaklu, to upstage and eliminate her, they were forced to split their forces. Brianna was tapped by the Exile to lead an expedition to Dxun, a place that made Yavin 4 look like a stroll through a botanical garden. Brianna, along with Mira and the great Mandalore Canderous Ordo, set out to find the creeptastic burial temple of Freedon Nadd in order to look for Freedon's Nadds cut off the Sith force's dark side-based ability to control the many beasts that roamed Iziz City and threatened the Royalists. The Sith Underlord which lurked at the temple's core attempted to lure Brianna to the dark side, but she instead responded with a lightsaber beatdown of her own. With the place cleared out, the way was paved for the Exile to swoop in, save the Queen, and snog her before everyone left to continue on their epic quest.
The chase commencesEdit
- "Don't suppose I could get a Midol for either one of you, huh?"
- ―Atton Rand, interrupting Kreia and the Exile arguing about Brianna
As the motley crew of the Ebon Hawk neared the end of their journey, things became complicated. Kreia became increasingly bitter over the seduction of her daughter by the Exile, though she never let them in on that secret; meanwhile, everyone else became suspicious of the old bag. Atton and Mical in particular seemed to sense that something was not right, but try as they might, they were continually cockblocked by Kreia's dastardly mind tricks.
When the time finally came to meet the lost Masters, the Exile took Kreia with her. When the Masters attempted to strip the Exile of the Force, the prune intervened, doing to them what they intended to do to the Exile, but far more horribly and lethally. Brianna, who had followed the pair, believed that Kreia had murdered them and the Exile as well, and took the crone back to the Ice Academy and Atris. When the Exile arrived back at the Ebon Hawk in chase, she realized that the old bitch had been playing everyone for fools. After that, a whole lot of fighting ensued, as the crew were caught up in Darth Nihilus' attack on Citadel Station. After PWNing the Sith and Nihilus itself, the Exile went back to the Ice Academy in pursuit of Atris, whom she believed (quite correctly) had fallen to the dark side.
- Atris: "So, you've returned..."
- Brianna: "The old woman, where is she?"
- Atris: "It is of no concern. Soon, she shall be dealt with."
- Brianna: "You can't! If Kreia dies..."
- Atris: "What of it?"
- Brianna: "...then the Exile dies too."
Atris: Oh? So, not only have you betrayed your oath to me, but you have betrayed us all to...her!? Did you look upon her with love!?"
Brianna: "No, wait! Ow, stop it! No lightning! No lightning!"
- — Atris gets really pissed-off
Brianna, who had arrived earlier with Kreia, was confronted by her sisters. In an epic brawl in a large vat of vegetable oil, she succeeded in laying the smackdown on all of them...oh, to be a fly on the wall for that match...but I digress. Anyway, when she attempted to report her findings to Atris, that the Exile wasn't such a bad person, the mistress was decidedly unhappy. With the Exile's old lightsaber, she attempted to do Brianna in; the ex-Handmaiden managed to hold her own for a while, but Atris' Force lightning proved too much. It was only the timely arrival of the Exile that saved her; the two fought like caged lions, ripping and tearing at weapons, arms, legs, clothes, boobs, until finally Atris submitted. The Exile gently, sensuously, corrected the elder woman as to how she had gone so terribly wrong, with Atris exiling herself forthwith.
Happily ever afterEdit
- "Now that that's over with...time for a tall, frosty glass of Tarisian ale."
- ―Brianna, now that it's all over
Brianna, now no longer simply "the Handmaiden", left battle behind her and took Atris's place as Jedi Historian, helping to rebuild the shattered Jedi Order. Though the Exile had left in pursuit of the True Sith, Brianna would never forget her, and what she had done for (and to) her...
Behind the scenesEdit
The article on Brianna is, in fact, the oldest still-existing article on Wookiepedia, which may or may not tell you something about the state of that site's userbase. Nevertheless, it wasn't until recently that the article was brought up to their standards (insert massive finger quotes here). Unfortunately, on Darthipedia the story is completely different. The concept of a Brianna parody has suffered from many unsuccessful, abortive attempts, most of which were swiftly deleted by the site's evil masterminds.
- "Naturally, we wanted everyone possible to come along for the ride. But then, we also wanted Hanharr to be a Dark Jedi, and you know how well that worked out."
- ―Chris Avellone of Obsidian Entertainment
In the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the character of Brianna was only available to a male-gendered Exile, but since that person never existed, there's been a bit of foo-foo as to whether or not she ever left the Ice Academy. Leland Chee has ignored the question completely; later, Wizards of the Coast gleefully announced that she did in fact journey with the Exile despite the gender used by the player. This caused quite a number of headaches among the hardcore fanboys (and even some fangirls) who, already with their knickers in a twist about the Exile's "official" gender, were now forced to wonder how the hell one was supposed to include the Handmaiden into the story due to a suspiciously conspicuous lack of beds aboard the Ebon Hawk.

What is Surgical Liposuction?
Surgical Liposuction is the most traditional form of Liposuction and involves fat being sucked either via pump or syringe. As with VASER liposuction, this method requires surgery to get results.
Surgical liposuction or fat removal surgery helps remove stubborn areas of fat, typically in arms, thighs, stomach, hips, chin or knees. These might be fat deposits that have been increasingly resistant to diet and exercise, so can be used to help sculpt body shape from perhaps a disproportionate figure.
Advantages of Surgical Liposuction
Whilst the surgery won't remove cellulite or stretch marks, surgical lipo can help deliver a long-lasting change to your body shape. Benefits include:
- Better option for targeting larger areas of body fat such as stomach, thighs, bottom or hips
- Permanent fat cell removal
- Targets difficult fat deposits
- Immediate results

I practice counseling that engages the spiritual life of my clients and that enables them to draw strength from God . The whole therapeutic process intends to honor the being and values of the client, sometimes reminding them of biblical parables and the context of Jesus as healer, but never tryng to steer them toward my personal beliefs. I have had great success using this approach, and have had clients be very comfortable with it. I should note that I also work with clients of other faiths and of no faith, who are aware that I am a Christian and a minister, but who also feel respected.
Andrew Johnston, MDiv, MA, LPCI

It is indeed good news ("gospel") that God loves you. Period. This is far more transformative, far more grace-filled, far more healing, and far more true than any person, belief system, community, church, or religion can adequately contain. I am a Christian counselor in the same way that Habitat for Humanity is a Christian organization: I have no intention of imposing any laws, or beliefs, or enforcing a "right" way to live. I welcome all people as clients, whatever religion, denomination, or lack thereof. My own faith, arising from Christianity, simply calls me to love all as I am loved, and to heal as I continue to be healed. Please contact me if you have any questions.

I help you feel the love of God deep within your heart, and soul and body. I help you soak in the love, receive the love, and express the love. I help you become an open vessel, allowing God's wisdom to flow through you. I help you find your answers in a way that makes the most sense to you.

Christian counseling is based on using solid Biblical principles to guide one's life. Clients will benefit by learning how to apply practical Biblical principles to their thought processes.

Biblical principles are right thinking, and when we learn to think with Biblical principles, our behavior will be right.

Our Lady's Priory, Aarhus (Danish: Vor Frue Kloster) was an early Dominican foundation just outside the walls of Aarhus, Denmark.
Early history
The exact date of the founding of Our Lady's Priory is unknown. One source, in an aside, says it was founded about 1227. The first Dominican community was established at Toulouse in 1223, so if the priory was indeed in existence by 1227, then it was a very early Dominican house. Another source in a similarly casual manner suggests 1239. Certainly by 1240 a Dominican priory was established just outside the walls of Aarhus, Jutland's largest town.
The placement of the priory was in conjunction with the still-extant church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke) which had been built in 1080 on the site of the chapel of St Nicholas' Spring, and served as the cathedral church in Aarhus from 1180. The earlier chapel had been constructed in about 1060 when Bishop Christian arrived to organize the Diocese of Aarhus. The recently rediscovered crypt church beneath the choir of the Vor Frue Kirke is perhaps the oldest surviving stone church in Scandinavia, dating from the reign of Sven Estridsen. When a new cathedral church was built, the Dominicans were given the use of the old church, to which they added a new choir and sacristy; by 1250 it had become the south range of the priory. The church's Gothic nave was added in 1350 and a side aisle in 1450. The tower was added in 1500. A new altar piece was carved by Claus Berg about 1530 and may still be seen in the church today.
At the time of the Reformation the four-storey priory complex had grown extensively.
Reformation in Denmark
Denmark became officially Lutheran in 1536 with the enthusiastic support of Christian III. All religious houses and their properties became crown property. The monks were expelled from the priory and either became local residents or travelled south into countries where monks could continue their way of life. The premises stood vacant for a time until Christian III directed that the church should be administered separately from the priory, and ordered the rest of the buildings to be converted into a "common hospital for the sick and the poor" in 1541. Vor Frue Kirke became a parish church, which it remains.
The buildings of the priory thus became a public hospital and a poor house, beginning a use as accommodation for the vulnerable and needy that continues into modern times.
In 1888 the priory's former old chapter hall was turned into a chapel for the residents of the priory buildings which had been turned into apartments for the elderly.
In the years after World War II it was decided to restore the Vor Frue Kirke and the comprehensive work was completed in the 1950s. During the course of the restoration the crypt church was rediscovered after centuries of oblivion. The medieval crucifix, thought to have been carved in 1400, which had survived the Reformation was rehung.

Ahamdabad: Window from back wall of Sayyid Alam (left), [ Achmet Bibis] (right)
Surveyor: Burgess, James (1832-1916)
Medium: Pen and ink on paper
Date: 1884
Cross section of the Sayyid Alam mosque at Ahmadabad in Gujarat from James Burgess' 'Original Drawings [of] Muhammadan Architecture of Ahmadabad.' Ahmadabad, founded by Sultan Ahmad Shah (r.1411-42) developed the city wall and was responsible for the construction of several buildings and mosques. The Sayyid Alam mosque was constructed by Sayyid Alam Akbar Husaini in 1412 and it is believed to be one of the earliest mosques in Ahmadabad. The early provincial style of architecture in Ahmadabad, especially this mosque, demonstrated a fusion of Hindu and Islamic architectural and decorative elements.

Mark Buehrle and Cliff Lee are no longer in the prime of their careers, though the 35-year-old veterans are showing they have plenty of good days ahead.
Both look to continue their solid starts to the season when Buehrle's Toronto Blue Jays face Lee's Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night as this four-game series shifts north of the border.
Buehrle made a name for himself with the Chicago White Sox from 2000-11, tossing a no-hitter and a perfect game before signing as a free agent with Miami. His 191 career wins are second to CC Sabathia (208) among active left-handers, while Lee is third with 142.
Now in his second season with Toronto, Buehrle (5-1, 2.25 ERA) is proving he still has a lot left in the tank. He posted a 0.64 ERA while winning his first four starts, and he bounced back from a tough outing to give up three runs - two earned - in 6 2-3 innings of a 7-3 win over Kansas City on Thursday.
"(Buehrle) pitches to win," manager John Gibbons said. "He's going to do whatever it takes, and he's on a nice little roll. He's having a good year for us."
The quick-working Buehrle allowed seven runs and 12 hits in an 8-1 loss to Boston in his previous start April 25. Both walks he issued against the Royals scored, and he has allowed eight walks over his last three starts after surrendering two in his first three.
"I'd rather give up 10 hits and no walks. I hate it. Make them earn it," he said.
Buehrle faced the Phillies five times in 2012 while with the Marlins, going 2-2 with a 3.24 ERA. He dueled with Lee in his last outing against them Sept. 28 of that season, giving up one run in eight innings while Lee allowed a run in seven frames in a 2-1 Philadelphia loss.
Lee (3-2, 3.00) also is having a solid start to 2014, posting a 1.67 ERA after giving up eight runs in his first outing. He allowed two runs - one earned - and four hits in seven innings of Philadelphia's 5-3 loss to Washington on Friday.
He was denied the win after the bullpen allowed three runs in the eighth.
"It was just one of those days where they got their hits, they earned it," said Lee, who has a 2.89 ERA for four different teams since 2008 when he won the Cy Young Award with Cleveland. "Those things happen in this game."
Lee is 2-4 with a 4.85 ERA in seven career starts in Toronto, most recently allowing five runs and a career worst-tying 12 hits in the Blue Jays' 6-5 win over the Phillies on June 16, 2012.
He'll face a Toronto team that has won six straight meetings after Juan Francisco's 10th-inning sacrifice fly gave it a 6-5 victory Tuesday. The Blue Jays (16-17) secured their first three-game winning streak by taking both games of this series in Philadelphia in the home-and-home format.
Jose Batista went 3 for 4 and has reached base in 33 straight games for the longest streak in the majors since Cincinnati's Joey Votto also reached in that many in 2011.
The Phillies (15-16) rallied from a 5-0 deficit to tie it on Cody Asche's grand slam in the sixth inning before falling for the fourth time in six games.
Jimmy Rollins didn't start for the second straight contest due to a groin injury and grounded out as a pinch-hitter. His status for this contest is unclear.

Security chief Lai Tung-kwok has cast doubt on the ability of Occupy Central organisers to prevent their civil disobedience movement from turning violent, saying "radicals" are almost certain to hijack it once it starts.
The storming of the Legislative Council foyer by activists on Friday, Lai writes in an article published in newspapers today, "clearly shows how a peaceful demonstration can lose control, resulting in the emergence of violent crisis".
[1]Occupy Central co-organiser Dr Chan Kin-man rejected the security chief's view, saying previous mass protests had shown most participants would not be provoked by radicals into resorting to violence.
Even Friday's protest in Legco against new town development in the northeast New Territories illustrated this, he said. "Most remained calm and exercised restraint in the face of radicals' call to barge in and occupy the [Legco] chamber."
Occupy Central organisers vow to bring the city's commercial hub to a standstill if the government fails to come up with a plan that meets the hallmarks of genuine democracy for the 2017 chief executive election.
In his article of almost 2,000 words, Lai also reiterates that "robust action" will be taken against any attempt to challenge the city's law and order, and that no cause, including civil disobedience, is above the law.
"As the objectives, visions, strategies and means of expression of the protesters of public processions differ, the radicals will take the opportunity to hijack the movement and turn peaceful public meetings into violence, deviating from the original plan of the organisers," he writes.
"Once violent confrontation occurs, the situation may become irrevocable and things could get out of control."
Chan said Occupy participants would not be easily provoked, as those who had signed its letter of intent would already have gone through a long deliberation process before they blocked the streets of Central.
In the conclusion to his article, Lai writes: "We will ensure that the law enforcement agency will act in accordance with the law and will take robust action to uphold the rule of law and to maintain public safety and public order."

Archive for the 'Crime' Category
Donald Trump highlighted Rahm Emanuel's homicide crisis recently. According to the article, 762 homicides were committed in 2016, which is a 57% increase from 2015.
Thus far, Mayor Emanuel has counted on friendly media treatment to essentially sweep this crisis out of sight. Thus far, it's worked, with the important part of that being 'thus far.' According to the article, "Donald Trump used his Twitter bully pulpit on Monday to blast Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel for allowing his city's murder and firearms shooting rates to spiral out of control. 'Chicago murder rate is record setting – 4,331 shooting victims with 762 murders in 2016,' Trump tweeted. 'If Mayor can't do it he must ask for Federal help!'"
The article continued, saying "Chicago's statistics underline a story of bloodshed that has put the city at the center of a national dialogue about gun violence. The numbers are staggering, even for those who followed the steady news accounts of weekends ending with dozens of shootings and monthly death tolls that hadn't been seen in years."
Then there's this:
Police and city officials have lamented the flood of illegal guns into the city, and the crime statistics appeared to support their claims: Police recovered 8,300 illegal guns in 2016, a 20 per cent increase from the previous year.
Imagine that. Criminals didn't use legal guns. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. That's more proof that we need additional gun laws. NOT!
It's time for Mayor Emanuel to crack down on gang-on-gang violence. I don't care if they kill each other. It's that innocents get caught in their crossfire. That can't continue. If Emanuel won't fix that, then he should be booted from his office.
The first priority of a mayor, governor or president is to protect his people. If he can't do that, then he's a failure. That shouldn't be tolerated. Further, he shouldn't be replaced with another liberal who pretty much agrees with Emanuel. That's just kicking the can down the road. That's unacceptable. Period.
This CBS report highlights the fact that Keith Lamont-Scott was a violent man. In fact, the report hints that the world is a better place without him. That isn't a statement on whether Scott was carrying a gun when he was shot. It's just a statement that he had a history of being a violent man.
The article opens with a statement that says "The black man killed by Charlotte police had a restraining order filed against him a year ago when he threatened to kill his wife and her son with a gun, according to court documents obtained Tuesday. Keith Scott's wife filed the order on Oct. 5, saying that law enforcement officers who encounter him should be aware that he 'carries a 9mm black' gun."
A man that's threatened to murder his wife and son isn't to be trusted.
Later in the article, it said "In the restraining order last fall, Rakeyia Scott sought to keep her husband away because 'he hit my 8-year-old in the head a total of three times with his fist,' she said in the restraining order document." Still later in the report, it said this:
"He kicked me and threaten to kill us last night with his gun," she said in the order filed in Gaston County, where the couple then lived. "He said he is a 'killer' and we should know that."
Whenever the Democrats talk about African-Americans getting shot, the portray them as innocent victims who wouldn't hurt a fly. Then they portray the officer as being a trigger-happy racist.
Consider this video of Hillary talking about the Lamont Scott shooting:
After unenthusiastically praising the police, Hillary went into the heart of her rant, saying "This much is certain. Too many people have lost their lives who shouldn't have. Sabrina Fulton has become a friend of mine. Her son, Trayvon Martin, was killed not far from where we are today. Sabrina says that this is about saving our children and she's absolutely right. We need to come together, work together, white, black, Latino, Asian, all of us, to turn the tide, stop the violence, build the trust."
Mrs. Clinton just missed her Sister Soldjah moment. Time after time, the outrage over Ferguson, Baltimore and other places was built on fictions like 'Hands up, don't shoot', only to have the myth demolished by verifiable forensic evidence.
This time, it's likely that the black police officer who shot Keith Lamont Scott will be exonerated:
Homicide Unit Detectives interviewed multiple independent civilian witnesses at the scene and at police headquarters. Those witnesses confirmed that officers gave numerous loud verbal commands for Mr. Scott to drop the weapon and also confirmed that at no time did Mr. Scott comply with their commands.
A lab analysis conducted of the gun crime scene investigators recovered at the scene revealed the presence of Mr. Scott's DNA and his fingerprints on the gun. It was also determined that the gun Mr. Scott possessed was loaded at the time of the encounter with the officers. The investigation also revealed that Mr. Scott was wearing an ankle holster at the time of the event.
Then there's this:
It's heartless for Democratic politicians to stoke racial tensions for political gain. What's worse is those same Democratic politicians not speaking out against black-on-black violence.
Technorati: Keith Lamont-Scott, Trayvon Martin, Ferguson, Hands Up, Don't Shoot, Freddie Gray, Baltimore, Police Officers, Hillary Clinton, Democrats, Election 2016
Saying that Hillary Clinton will want to change the subject of this article is understatement. Let's start by saying that articles like this virtually guarantee that she'll announce her VP pick this afternoon. The bad news for Mrs. Clinton is that this ties into the case that Donald Trump emphasized during last night's acceptance speech.
According to the article, "John McNesby, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5" in Philadelphia, criticized Hillary for "inviting relatives of victims of police shootings to speak at the Democratic National Convention next week, but failing to include relatives of slain police officers." It's still possible for Mrs. Clinton to invite some police officers to speak time-wise, though I don't think it would go over well with Democrats in the hall. Think of how Black Lives Matter and the New Black Panther Party would react to police officers talking about what they face while protecting the public.
President McNesby read from a prepared statement while expressing his disgust with Mrs. Clinton:
The Fraternal Order of Police is insulted and will not soon forget that the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton are excluding the widows and other family members of police officers killed in the line of duty who were victims of explicit and not implied racism.
Then he said this:
He said it's "sad that to win an election Mrs. Clinton must pander to the interests of people who do not know all the facts, while the men and women they seek to destroy are outside protecting the political institutions of this country.
"Mrs. Clinton, you should be ashamed of yourself, if that is possible."
I'd expect the Trump campaign to jump all over this unforced mistake. This fits perfectly into Trump's narrative that he's the law and order candidate. Further complicating this situation is that these officers are stationed in Philadelphia, the site of the Democratic National Convention. If these officers wanted to cause trouble, they could invite Mr. Trump to a quickly-organized rally right outside the Democrats' convention hall.
McNesby wasn't too happy in this clip:
Suffice it to say that this isn't the last time Mrs. Clinton will find herself defending the decision to invite the mothers of Michael Brown and Eric Garner to speak at the Democratic National Convention. I'd bet the proverbial ranch that Mr. Trump will emphasize this as proof that Hillary Clinton is soft on crime and that she'll to the Democrats' special interest groups in order to win votes. Let's see if that works.
Technorati: Hillary Clinton, Michael Brown, Hands Up, Don't Shoot, Ferguson, Eric Garner, New Black Panther Party, BlackLivesMatter, Democratic National Convention, Donald Trump, Law & Order Candidate, John McNesby, Fraternal Order of Police, Philadelphia, Republicans, Election 2016
Donald Trump's acceptance speech last night has been characterized as being scary or dark by Democrats. Mo Elleithee, a former Hillary campaign spokesman, said that this was a dreadful week for the GOP. That's spin but not very good spin.
Kellyanne Conway, Trump's pollster, said that she expects Trump and Hillary to be tied in all of the major swing states when the swing state polls start coming out. While it's wise to take anything from a candidate's pollster with a grain of salt, I've watched Mrs. Conway since she was Ms. Fitzpatrick. She isn't a spinner. She's earned the benefit of the doubt with me.
As for Trump's speech, it was different in important and profound ways. He stripped away the façade that the Obama administration has hidden behind for 8 years. It started when Mr. Trump said "It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation. I will present the facts plainly and honestly. We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore. So if you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully-crafted lies, and the media myths, the Democrats are holding their convention next week. Go there."
Think of that as Trump's way of telling the elitists in the media and in the Democratic Party (pardon the repetition) that America would hear the truth. Here's an example of that truthfulness:
These are the facts:
Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this administration's rollback of criminal enforcement. Homicides last year increased by 17% in America's fifty largest cities. That's the largest increase in 25 years. In our nation's capital, killings have risen by 50 percent. They are up nearly 60 percent in nearby Baltimore.
In the president's hometown of Chicago, more than 2,000 have been the victims of shootings this year alone. And almost 4,000 have been killed in the Chicago area since he took office. The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has risen by almost 50 percent compared to this point last year.
Democrats say that the speech was dark. Let's ask this question: Are those the type of statistics that should make us feel happy? Or are they the type of statistics that make your heart ache? If that wasn't enough information to make a decision on, this will help thoughtful people make the right decision:
One such border-crosser was released and made his way to Nebraska. There, he ended the life of an innocent young girl named Sarah Root. She was 21 years old and was killed the day after graduating from college with a 4.0 grade point average. Her killer was then released a second time, and he is now a fugitive from the law. I've met Sarah's beautiful family. But to this administration, their amazing daughter was just one more American life that wasn't worth protecting. One more child to sacrifice on the altar of open borders.
There's no spinning that story. If I were to put it in tennis language, that story would be "Game. Set. Match. Championship." Thoughtful people can't hear that story and think we need to continue this administration's immigration policies.
This is a powerful indictment of Hillary's incompetence:
In 2009, pre-Hillary, ISIS was not even on the map. Libya was stable. Egypt was peaceful. Iraq had seen a big reduction in violence. Iran was being choked by sanctions. Syria was somewhat under control.
After four years of Hillary Clinton, what do we have? ISIS has spread across the region and the entire world. Libya is in ruins, and our ambassador and his staff were left helpless to die at the hands of savage killers. Egypt was turned over to the radical Muslim Brotherhood, forcing the military to retake control. Iraq is in chaos. Iran is on the path to nuclear weapons. Syria is engulfed in a civil war and a refugee crisis that now threatens the West. After 15 years of wars in the Middle East, after trillions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost, the situation is worse than it has ever been before.
This is the legacy of Hillary Clinton: Death, destruction and terrorism and weakness.
That's a devastating and accurate before and after portrait of Hillary's incompetence. Think of it as the indictment the Justice Department didn't attempt to get.

I intentionally gave this post that inflammatory title. Other than a few left fringers that I could count on my fingers, nobody is pro-terrorist. It isn't difficult to make a case that there are lots of lefties that hate America or that think that they need to apologize for America, with our current president at the top of that list.
After reading Chris Stirewalt's article, though, I thought it was important to highlight how the Democrats' passivity or indifference towards terrorism and their pandering towards #BlackLivesMatter, Hands up, don't shoot and Al Sharpton have created the situation we're currently facing.
Shortly after starting in office, President Obama said that he didn't know the facts surrounding the Cambridge Police Department arresting Henry Gates but that he knew that "the cops acted stupidly." Later, he sent then-US Attorney General Eric Holder to Ferguson to conduct a civil rights review and investigation. President Obama even bought into the 'Hands up, don't shoot' storyline. President Obama didn't speak out against Black Lives Matter, either, because he wanted them stirred up for the midterm elections.
Couple that with Bill DeBlasio's shameful statement that he worries about his son and Gov. Dayton's statement that he thinks that Philando Castile would still be alive if he wasn't black and Mrs. Clinton's statement that systemic racism is putting African-Americans in danger.
It isn't a stretch to say that the Democrats' default position is to question law enforcement authorities. It's simply happened too many times to argue otherwise.
As for terrorism, it's painfully obvious that this administration hasn't done all it could in fighting ISIS. John Kerry admitted that attacks against Syria and ISIS would be "unbelievably small":
In Afghanistan, generals recommended to President Obama that they use a troop surge to destroy the Taliban. Rather than immediately accepting their recommendation, the administration dithered and dithered until the opportunity had passed and the Taliban had escaped. After all that time waiting, President Obama ordered a troop surge, then stated in the very next sentence when he'd pull our the surge troops.
Hillary isn't much better. She's more 'hawkish', if you can call it that. She's more willing to use the military but she's only willing to do that in a photo op way. Look at Libya. She insisted that we get rid of Qaddafi. Eventually, that happened. Then she ignored all of Christopher Stevens' urgent requests for additional security. After ignoring those urgent cables, the result was Christopher Stevens getting killed in a terrorist attack.
There's no proof that she's learned from that lesson.
Simply put, the Democratic Party hasn't shown that they have the inclination to consistently support police officers or to fight terrorists wherever they are. If we want to make America safe again, then voting for Hillary isn't an option. She has tons of national security experience with virtually no serious accomplishments. Think Benghazi, the Arab Spring, the Russian Reset Button and insisting that Bashar al-Assad was a reformer we could work with.
That isn't the type of experience that I'd vote for.

I wrote this article to highlight how untalented Donald Trump's spokespeople are. The article also highlighted how dishonest Trump's allies are. As deceptive as Barry Bennett, Katrina Pierson, David Wohl and Ed Brookover are, though, they're amateurs compared with Roger Stone.
If you've been hiding under a rock, Stone is Trump's thug. He's Trump's chief intimidator. (I initially wrote about Stone's thuggishness in this article.)
Apparently, Stone realizes that he's in big trouble if something happens to the delegates for the Republican National Convention. Appearing on Stefan Molyneux's program, Stone issued a threat, saying " I have warned the public, I have warned Trump supporters, of what I believe is 'The Big Steal'. One of two things will happen here, Stefan. Either Trump will have 1,237 votes, in which case the Party will try to throw out some of those delegates in a naked attempt to steal this from Donald Trump or he will be just short of 1,237, in which case many of his own delegates, or I should say people in his delegates' seats, will abandon him on the second ballot. So the fix is in."
That's definitely intended to tell Trump's supporters that the Republican National Committee, aka the RNC, working in concert with the "GOP Establishment," will attempt to "steal" Trump's nomination away from him. Then Stone added this:
Join us in the Forest City. We're going to have protests, demonstrations. We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal. If you're from Pennsylvania, we'll tell you who the culprits are. We urge you to visit their hotel and find them.
It's pretty apparent that Stone wrote this article to insist that his statements weren't advocating violence. In fact, he's blaming CNN for deceptively editing out something exculpatory. I'd love hearing the podcast for Mr. Molyneux's show that day. I want to know whether that would exonerate Stone or whether it would show that he's trying to weasel out of threatening delegates. I'm betting it's the latter.
Less than a month ago, Mr. Trump was talking trash, saying that he'd pay the legal fees for his supporters who laid a beating on protesters at his events. It was clear that Trump was a full-fledged thug, albeit a rich thug. Stone was his consigliere for the better part of twenty years. I won't buy it that Trump kept that parasite around for his charming personality. Trump kept him on Trump's payroll to have him do his dirty work.
Trump's schtick is getting old. Trump's thuggishness is preventing him from closing the deal with the American people. That's why Trump won't be the GOP presidential nominee.

Jazz Shaw's post about the murder of a Utah police officer is heartbreaking but important within the context of criminal justice reform. Far too frequently, we've heard stories about "non-violent offenders" being incarcerated after being convicted for a felony.
Jazz's post is about how Cory Lee Henderson murdered a police officer Sunday. Henderson allegedly murdered "Scott Barney, an 18-year veteran of the Unified and Taylorsville police departments and a father of three who worked in the Holladay Precinct." Since then, lots of disturbing information has come out about Henderson. In his post, Shaw wrote that "Henderson was indicted by a federal grand jury on felon in possession of a firearm, possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense" on Nov. 24, 2015.
That's just the most recent incarceration for Mr. Henderson. After being indicted, things take a bizarre twist. On "Dec. 4, 2015, Henderson is arraigned in federal court, pleads not guilty. On Dec. 8, 2015, Henderson is paroled to the Fortitude Treatment Center. Federal court records show U.S. Magistrate Judge Evelyn Furse allowed him to be released from federal custody to go to the treatment center. On Dec. 18, 2015, Henderson is reported as a walkaway from the Fortitude Treatment Center. The Utah Department of Corrections said Henderson checked out in the morning to look for employment but did not return at the end of the day. That night, state dispatch was contacted and notified that he was missing."
What type of nutjob judge paroles a felon with a lengthy history of convictions? This article is must reading:
Henderson's criminal history includes arrests for drugs, weapons, assault and theft. He was convicted of possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia in 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2015. He was imprisoned for possession of a firearm by a restricted person in 2014 and was jailed on parole violations in November and December last year.
Criminal justice activists will surely attempt to tell the public that he never should've been jailed for the drug charges. That's BS. In this and many other instances, drugs are just the tip of the iceberg. Notice that Henderson's record includes arrests for "weapons, assault and theft," too.
Last night, Megyn Kelly demolished defense attorney Arthur Aidala's argument that no state laws were broken when the Duggars' daughters were identified as victims of sex crimes. Check this video out:
First, here's the Arkansas law that's being debated:
Arkansas Legal Code
"A law enforcement agency shall not disclose to the public information directly or indirectly identifying the victim of a sex crime."
Aidala argued that the lawyer in question relied on the opinions of 2 different Arkansas attorneys general in making his decision. If that's true, which I believe is true, then these attorneys general got their opinions horribly wrong.
The Arkansas statute is exceptionally clearly written. It isn't ambiguous. If there's another law that says that people who commit sex crimes must be identified, then these attorneys general should've brought these conflicting statutes to the attention of the Arkansas legislature, Arkansas' governor and the people of Arkansas. Those conflicting statutes must be fixed so that they aren't conflicting anymore. Otherwise, teenage victims of sex crimes will be doubly victimized in the future.
Fortunately, a judge has stepped in and said "Don't release it and destroy the remaining reports."
What people think about Josh Duggar is irrelevant to this topic. That's totally separate. The law states what the law states. Releasing the report that identified those girls was illegal. Now that the Arkansas judge has ruled, that's the law of the land unless and until the legislature changes those statutes. I'm betting that the legislature won't touch it because it's an emotionally charged subject that's settled at this point.
The bigger point, though, to this discussion is that a state attorney general's opinion shouldn't conflict with clearly written state statutes. Opinions and precedents that conflict with statutes are simply wrong. There can't be any question about that. Period.
When Marilyn Mosby won an indictment against 6 police officers in the death of Freddie Gray and when Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake watched Baltimore descend into chaos, they became the public face of Baltimore's political and legal leadership. Now that violence engulfs Baltimore, it's clear that this disastrous duo deserve the criticism they're getting.
In most instances, I'd argue that Marilyn Mosby deserves the lion's share of the blame for Baltimore's problems. This isn't like most situations, though. Stephanie Rawlings-Blake first gave the thugs permission to loot stores and destroy buildings. She told police officers to "Let them loot. It's only property":
As amazing as that sounds, it's gotten worse since:
BALTIMORE (AP) — Antoinette Perrine has barricaded her front door since her brother was killed three weeks ago on a basketball court near her home in the Harlem Park neighborhood of West Baltimore. She already has iron bars outside her windows and added metal slabs on the inside to deflect the gunfire.
"I'm afraid to go outside," said Perrine, 47. "It's so bad, people are afraid to let their kids outside. People wake up with shots through their windows. Police used to sit on every corner, on the top of the block. These days? They're nowhere."
This explains why the officers aren't there:
Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said last week his officers "are not holding back" from policing tough neighborhoods, but they are encountering dangerous hostility in the Western District. "Our officers tell me that when officers pull up, they have 30 to 50 people surrounding them at any time," Batts said.
This doesn't help, either:
At a City Council meeting Wednesday, Batts said officers have expressed concern they could be arrested for making mistakes. "What is happening, there is a lot of levels of confusion in the police organization. There are people who have pain, there are people who are hurt, there are people who are frustrated, there are people who are angry," Batts said. "There are people, and they've said this to me, 'If I get out of my car and make a stop for a reasonable suspicion that leads to probable cause but I make a mistake on it, will I be arrested?' They pull up to a scene and another officer has done something that they don't know, it may be illegal, will they be arrested for it? Those are things they are asking."
Marilyn Mosby's hostility towards the police has accelerated the mistrust between City Hall, her office and the police officers. The police officers don't know whether they'll get arrested for making a mistake because Ms. Mosby and Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will take the thugs' side or the officers' side.
Two of the things that are fundamental to city governance is public safety and law enforcement. These ladies are failing to produce on either count. Based on their hostility towards police officers, it's unrealistic to think they'll suddenly change their policies and start making the streets safe or prosecuting the thugs that are murdering people.
Part I of this series highlighted a timeline of events that led to the termination of Todd Hoffner, the head football coach at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Part II highlighted some of President Davenport's rationalizations for terminating Coach Hoffner. This post will highlight the substantive complaints from Coach Hoffner's attorneys. This paragraph is particularly noteworthy:
Second, in that same section, the OLA report devotes an entire paragraph to President Davenport's justification for his reaction to the charges against Coach Hoffner and, specifically, the description of the Pennsylvania State University sex scandal. No comparable explanation from Coach Hoffner is included, nor is the fundamental distinguishing fact that the alleged conduct that MSU Mankato investigated had nothing to do with sexual abuse or similar conduct with respect to MSU Mankato students.
Comparing the Hoffner situation with what happened at Penn State is foolish. According to a footnote in the OLA's report, Penn State's high-level administrators, including Penn State's president at the time, "were indicted for endangering the welfare of children, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury. They are awaiting trial." In Coach Hoffner's case, he didn't exercise good judgment. Still, the Blue Earth County judge that dismissed the charges said that "the children acted silly, playful and age appropriate."
There's a little bit of hyperbole in this paragraph:
To omit from the OLA's report even the most basic of facts in this regard is misleading and profoundly unfair. The notion that a person could equate Coach Hoffner with Jerry Sandusky is absurd, and that a person could draw such a comparison exemplifies why that person should not have the authority to make life-changing employment decisions affecting others.
First, Hoffner's attorneys went a little overboard in saying that President Davenport shouldn't "have the authority to make life-changing employment decisions affecting others." That being said, Hoffner's attorneys are right in saying that comparing Coach Hoffner's actions with Sandusky's is absurd. They aren't close to being similar, much less close to being the same thing.
Jerry Sandusky is serving a minimum of 30 years in prison. According to Wikipedia, which I realize isn't always the most accurate website, "Specifically, Sandusky was convicted of the following charges and counts: eight counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, seven counts of indecent assault, one count of criminal intent to commit indecent assault, nine counts of unlawful contact with minors, 10 counts of corruption of minors and 10 counts of endangering the welfare of children. Cleland immediately revoked Sandusky's bail and remanded him to the Centre County Correctional Facility to await sentencing."
It shouldn't be difficult for university presidents to differentiate between a man who was investigated and had charges dropped and a man convicted of "eight counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, seven counts of indecent assault, one count of criminal intent to commit indecent assault [and] nine counts of unlawful contact with minors…" I'm betting that most high school students could differentiate between the two.
Simply put, this would be a disaster for President Davenport if the MnSCU Chancellor, aka Davenport's boss, were a principled man or if the DFL-chaired Higher Ed committees took their oversight responsibilities seriously. Since neither is the case, it isn't likely that this will hurt President Davenport.
That's the biggest of disasters in this entire situation.

text: I think it is weird that Sayid suddenly became a good guy when on the sub. Obviously it fulfills our hope that he got a chance to redeem himself, so I've tried to make sense of it. When Jack pushed MIB in the water, maybe it diffused his power. I'm sure some people will argue that he does not have "mind control," however, Claire seemed to gain some sanity as she spent some time away from MIB, so I think there's something to it. I think this detail about the water is important because it may be one way for Jacob or whomever to use it as a weapon against him. Maybe not exactly like the Wicked Witch of the West, though along the same lines.

This was our third year staying at the Hilton Santa Rosa. I am torn between giving it 3 or four stars, so I will give all the pros and cons. Main issue is that this hotels needs new carpet everywhere along with an update in the rooms. We had just left the Hilton in Concord where we have stayed on many trips and they just under went an renovation. Santa Rosa really needs to check it out. It came out fantastic!!!! For this reason alone Santa Rosa does not meet up to Hilton standards in my opinion. With that being said there are some fantastic reasons to stay here. It is an absolutely fabulous location for touring wine country. You are minutes away from numerous wineries in Sonoma. A 15 minute drive to Healdsburg area. Lower Sonoma is about 20 minutes away with Napa being about 30 to 40 if you choose to do that for a day. We found the restaurant/bar to be fantastic with a wonderful patio overlooking Santa Rosa. The view was great both in the morning at breakfast and at night with all the lights from the city. We had breakfast everyday and the buffet could not have been any better!!! We also had drinks and appetizers in the evening and enjoyed them also! We never had dinner but I can say I did see the entrees and all looked enticing. They had a very nice wine tasting in the evening with cheese platters from different wineries, Merriam being our favorite! Also, had a someone playing music while the tasting was going on which added a nice touch. The service and staff was always friendly and helpful in both the lobby and restaurant. Now for the negatives, which I hate to have to talk about since i do love this hotel for all its pros! Yes, the hallways smell a bit musty. Carpets REALLY need to be changed!!!! The rooms themselves are quite comfortable and large, including the beds. But I will say again, the carpets REALLY need to be changed along with updated decor and draperies. I found the the bathroom to be quite clean, but again could use some updating. Because of the things I like about this hotel, I will give it another shot, but will have to say if the carpets get much worse it won't be an option. For this reason, it just does not live up to Hilton standards for me.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Amazing what some can do with a blog, like Gay Porn Corner. It really isn't a text blog, but a video blog. Lots and lots of videos being shown, with minimal descriptions.
Still it is kind of nice to see such a collection.
It is a varied mix too, from ebony guys sucking, to twinks at play. Think I even saw a latino clip and a movie. Certainly this stuff is from membership sites, but hell its all different, all in one place.
There are some links, even some personal stuff, though frankly rather thin in that category. It is just a collection of videos, so if that's your thing'

If your business relies on expensive equipment that goes out-of-date quickly, a rental (operating lease) can be a great option.
Coming up with the capital to upgrade your equipment can be difficult. With a rental (operating lease), rather than buying the equipment outright, you rent it for a manageable, monthly payment.
The flexibility to get the equipment you need, when you need it
We understand that certain kinds of equipment need to be upgraded regularly, yet the cost can be prohibitive. Renting means you can afford better equipment for less capital.
Don't find yourself stuck with outdated equipment
At the end of your lease term, we offer you a range of options, including returning the equipment to us or extending the rental period and reducing your payments.
We also offer you a Technology Exchange Program. This program allows you to replace or add to your existing equipment at pre-determined times so you can have the latest technology, without adding to your operating costs.
Equipment is just the beginning
Ancillary equipment and even maintenance can add to your cost base. We understand that, and that's why we provide the option for you to bundle these costs into one affordable facility. That means the costs of hardware, software, maintenance, cabling and even training can all form part of the costs set out in your Rental Operating Lease.
A true operating lease
Payments on rental (operating leases) are treated as operating costs and your rental agreement will not usually appear as a liability on your balance sheet.
That means your capital is free for other business needs.
- Term: 1 to 5 years
- Loan Amount: $10,000 and upwards (subject to credit approval)
- Repayment Frequency: Monthly, quarterly, annually or structured to suit you
