The TSA is warning the United States that there may be a plot to surgically implant a bomb inside a person, to avoid scanners currently in use. I shudder to think what this might imply for "enhanced screening" in the future.

Ripped from the headlines!
One of these things…
Nation of Laws
A former President and Vice President have publicly confessed to war crimes – the ordering of and condoning of torture, among other things. The current President says we must look forward, not backward.
A former Presidential candidate had an affair and misused campaign contributions. The current administration is going to nail his ass to the wall for that!
A government of laws, and not of men. – John Adams
Kobo and Nook touch – separated at birth?
Kobo announced the Kobo eReader Touch on Monday; Barnes & Noble announced the Nook Touch on Tuesday. Both use similar technologies, to the point I almost wonder if they're basically the same device, except for the store each connects to.
Both weigh 200 grams, use a 6″ Pearl eInk screen, have one button on the bottom bezel, and use the nifty infrared touch screen technology that Sony introduced last year. If not for the four buttons on the Sony PRS-650, I'd wonder if both Kobo and B&N hadn't just nicked Sony's design. Well, that and the fact that Sony costs twice as much and doesn't include wifi. The Kobo is $130 and the Nook is $140, while the Sony is $230.
So, this summer you'll have four different 6″ Pearl eInk ereaders to choose from. Three are infrared touch-screens, and one has a keyboard and is a bit bigger than the other three. The Kindeal is $114 and has a great store integration. Kobo and Nook are in the ballpark and have their own stores as well as compatibility with ePub stores of old. Sony is odd man out, which is par for the course over the past fifteen years.
I can't help but wonder what Amazon will do next in the ereader war.
Executive Overreach then and now
"No more ignoring the law when it's inconvenient. That is not who we are." – Senator Obama, August 2007
Checks and balances? War Powers Act? I can't hear you.* – President Obama, 2011
* – For the oblivious, this is not a quote.
Daniels Bows Out
And there goes another one! Mitch Daniels, who by all accounts is a reasonable human being with deep ties to the GOP establishment and no significant baggage to scare off independents, has declared he won't run in 2012. This leaves Pawlenty as the only declared possible candidate in the GOP that won't scare off either the base or independents. Of course, he's also not very exciting and has to run away from his own record in order to throw red meat to the Tea Partiers, so it's not a lock. Take all statements as if they include the caveat, "18 months before an election is just plain silly to be handicapping races."
As an exercise, my coworker and I took a look at the history of the Democractic and Republican party primaries and eventual winners. Only once in the history of either party could we find an example of a candidate who lost the general and went on to win the general election years later – Richard Nixon. With that in mind, and realizing that the economy is no longer screaming downward like a fireball of doom, might the more "adult" and sane members of the GOP stay away from becoming the sacrificial lamb in 2012? Surely, any analyst came to the same conclusion we did from our comfy chairs – if you lose against Obama, give up on ever being President in the future. It seems plausible that Daniels and other reasonable people may be staying away just because they know that Obama is likely to win anyway, so they're not going to go through the bother.
With that in mind, why not nominate the most entertaining person to the GOP candidacy, just so we can all have some fun next year? Come on, you know a Michele Bachmann/Barack Obama debate would be absolutely hilarious!
Newt Wants to Spread Texas Miracle
So, Newt Gingrich told Sean Hannity, "I know how to get the whole country to resemble Texas." This was in the context of economic and business issues. Which parts of Texas' economy does he want to duplicate?
Does he want to duplicate the 99% reduction in state funding for libraries announced recently? Does he want to duplicate the gutting of education? Would he like to duplicate our empty, hollow city centers where tumbleweeds outnumber successful small businesses? How about the $23 Billion budget shortfall – is that worth duplicating across the nation? Maybe he wants to make the rest of the country look like our elder care industry, where next year's budget will lay off nearly 60,000 nursing home workers? Texas is 50th out of 50 states in uninsured children as well as uninsured adults – maybe that's what he wants to spread (hey, look at that – we only have the third highest teen pregnancy rate)? To be fair, we're #1 out of all fifty states in the amount of carcinogens we dump into the atmosphere (double the #2 loser state), so that's something to be proud of.
Maybe, just maybe, Gingrich really just wants to duplicate the unassailable GOP majority in Texas. After all, the 2003 out-of-cycle unprecedented gerrymandering has made it all but impossible for any Democrat outside of Houston or Austin to be elected to an office higher than dogcatcher. Maybe that's the great success story Gingrich wants to duplicate.
GOP 2012 Contenders Dropping Like Flies
Mike Huckabee, one of the most pleasant theocrats I've ever heard speak, has dropped out of the 2012 race. To be fair, he never actually said he was going to run, but c'mon! He was near the top of the heap in every straw poll, and he's one of the few people polling above single digits that could be a credible candidate. So he's gone now.
Donald Trump, one of the most unpleasant human beings I've ever heard speak, has dropped out of the 2012 race. Again, he never actually filed as a candidate, but he also polled near the top of most straw polls, although he's definitely not in the credible candidate category by a long stretch. Continue reading GOP 2012 Contenders Dropping Like Flies
Free-ish Speech
Harry Reid and Lindsey Graham agree that the United States government must Do Something to address Terry Jones' burning of a Quran. Several days after Jones burned a book in Florida, the duly elected (stop laughing) president of Afghanistan fomented some dissent about it, and some clerics in Afghanistan called on the USA to arrest Jones and prosecute him to the full extent of the law. And then they rioted and killed some completely unconnected civilians, just to prove how reasonable their demands were.
Terry Jones is an asshole. Fred Phelps is also an asshole. I don't ever want to hear what those people, or others like them, have to say about anything. Their voices are irrelevant to my life and counterproductive to the causes of acceptance and tolerance and peace. However, they have the right to be assholes and say shitty horrible things and even burn a book (assuming the book is not stolen and they abide by fire regulations for the local municipality, of course). Popular speech, by definition, does not need to be protected; only unpopular speech needs such security.
How in the world do two United States Senators of no little seniority decide to promulgate a view that the rioters are not to blame for a riot, the murderers are not to blame for murders? Instead, in twisted "we're at war" land, the person burning a book in Florida is responsible for the deaths of UN members in Afghanistan. Considering that the Undeclared War On A Specific Tactic is impossible to define in time or space, claiming that free speech must be curtailed because the USA has soldiers in harm's way means that free speech is curtailed for all time. The UWOAST is a war (never declared so therefore not really but "police action" or "military excursion" doesn't have the right ring to it) without end, and these two men, who have sworn to uphold the Constitution, think that same Constitution doesn't apply unless they want it to? Fuck them too.
We Have a Constitution?
Some Democrats complained about the rampant anti-Constitutionality of warrantless wiretaps and indefinite detention during the Bush administration, and the Republicans called them anti-American. Some Republicans are complaining about the anti-Constitutionality of bombing a foreign country with no Congressional authorization (while ignoring the anti-Constitutionality of continued indefinite detention etc.), but nobody is calling them anti-American. Amazing that both parties only recognize we have a Constitution when it says stuff they agree with.
To be fair, although nobody seems to be calling Republicans anti-American (I'm pretty sure only the GOP can use that term, something about trademark infringement), there are plenty of other insults being lobbed about. Obviously, anyone who refers to the Constitution is a fringe nutjob in today's political climate.
Shining City on the Hill
President Obama this week:
We cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people that there will be no mercy, and his forces step up their assaults on cities like Benghazi and Mizrata, where innocent men and women face brutality and death at the hands of their own government.
Unless, of course, those people live in Sudan, Darfur, Somalia, Congo…
Glenn Beck's Site Takes on O'Keefe Video Accuracy
In some sort of strange reversal of normality, the first group that seems to have really dug into the NPR "sting" video in any detail appears to be The Blaze. The Blaze is a conservative website, which you can tell because every headline is in all-caps (seriously, Righties, why do this?). Although not agreeing with Ron Schiller's statements, the writer of this piece shows very clearly that some of the statements are taken so far out of context that it boggles the mind. One example -he replies to a statement that isn't shown in the edited video, but it makes it look as though he's countering a completely different statement.
It's really quite interesting and a good piece of investigative journalism. Schiller was still obviously unwise in making some of the statements he did to these near-strangers, but in context it appears to be yet another James O'Keefe cut-and-paste mess. That guy makes Mike Moore look like an honest videographer.
NPR Sting
James O'Keefe and Andrew Breitbart have no credibility whatsoever, after their various misdeeds of the past few years. In case they've completely escaped you, these stunts include "fake pimp going to ACORN offices," which revealed nothing untoward within the organization and were nearly completely fictionalized after editing; "Shirley Sherrod is a racist" video, which was so deceptively edited that it showed the exact opposite of reality; and of course, attempting to illegally bug a Senator's office. By this time, if you see O'Keefe or Breitbart mentioned in any sort of journalistic story, you would be justified in assuming there is no truth to it at all.
With that being said, how in the hell could this be any worse for NPR? NPR marketing droid Ron Schiller tells fake Muslims that the GOP and Tea Party are racists and entirely owned by the evangelical movement, as well as saying that NPR would be better off without federal money. Obviously, I believe his opinions have some validity – the current GOP has been in thrall to the Religious Right for decades, some in the Tea Party have a significant xenophobic streak, and NPR's begging means they end up beholden to whichever way the political winds blow. But, I can say those things in public or in private because I have no authority or power in any significant way. A senior NPR executive should just shut the fuck up when dealing with near-strangers. It doesn't help Schiller's appearance much that he left NPR last week for another job. That may be true, but it sure does look like he's running away and giving NPR deniability.
I'm very curious how this will end up playing out. There seems to be more than enough stupid to go around on both sides.
Hosni Mubarak has run unopposed in all but one "election" due to the Egyptian constitution making any other candidates ineligible. Finally, after 24 years in office, he permitted a multi-candidate election in 2005. During that election, there was widespread election fraud and intimidation by Mubarak, abetted by the state-run media being completely filled with pro-Mubarak propaganda. After the election, the runner-up (and possibly the actual winner if a real count could have been taken) was arrested and imprisoned for the next four years. Egypt has been operating under emergency law that suspends most of the constitution since 1967, under the guise of protecting the people from terrorists. Under that emergency law, the government can imprison people for essentially no reason for any length of time, parliamentary elections are suspended, and assets can be seized on the word of the President with no recourse.
And VP Biden says Mubarak is not a dictator. Right. Biden's just jealous.
Importance of Crypto
I think this recent court precedent really shows the importance of personal encryption. As in so many of these civil liberties cases, it's hard to feel any sympathy for the person, as he's an obvious drug dealer. But, since it's possible for police to do a pat-down of anyone at a traffic stop, and if "anything in your pockets" is free game for them to search through… Most of us don't do a lot of illegal things, but we almost all do embarassing things. As smartphones proliferate, many people are carrying the equivalent of a large filing cabinet of personal documents and photos and videos with them at all times. Although the police have the obligation to do their utmost within the law to uphold the law, it's possible that you may want to think about what you keep in your smartphone that you might not want a random stranger to see. This goes double at border crossings or customs stations at airports – there is a solid precedent that customs agents can pretty much just take all your personal electronics and never give them back whenever you enter the USA. It seems messed up, because it is.
Stimulus Disappointment
Back in January 2009, right after the inauguration, I posted a quick summary of views from economists about the expected effect of the stimulus. The stimulus was expected to be about 20% bigger than it ended up, but the basic gist was that doing nothing would mean high unemployment rates (9%) through 2010, and beginning to drop in 2011, finally returning to historical norms by 2014. Enacting the stimulus as it was planned was expected to lead to unemployment rates peaking at 8% in mid-2009, and dropping steadily through 2013. The recovery plan was supposed to lessen the worst and shorten the duration of the employment loss.
In January of 2010, I posted the followup, which was cautiously optimistic, while pointing out that unemployment was actually at 10%, but did appear to be declining slightly. Sadly, this trend was not borne out by the end of 2010. Here we are, over two years after the Bush administration began the economic recovery plan, nearly two years since the Obama administration compromised its way to a smaller stimulus devoted largely to shoring up banks with no guarantees of lending to actual citizens, and it seems the results are actually worse than what was expected from doing nothing at all. That's just sad.
Here's the latest unemployment figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. I sincerely hope you're not one of the 10%. Happy New Year.
Never Served in the Military
John McCain mentioned this weekend that most of the people on talk shows have never served in the military. He said this in the context of condemning them for being out of touch with the needs of the military vis a vis Don't Ask Don't Tell. It made me curious. What talk show hosts, if any, have served in the military? I wandered through a truly stupendous number of reference articles and was completely unsurprised to find that the only current talk show host veteran is Regis Philbin, who was in the Navy. Montel Williams, although not currently on television, had the most interesting military career – he was an enlisted Marine and went to Annapolis to become a Navy officer, eventually learning Russian at DLI and serving on submarines. The only other surprise (because I was not at all surprised that Rush Limbaugh got a draft deferrment from Vietnam) was that Anderson Cooper spent a couple summers as an intern at the CIA. Not military service, but did you know that Anderson Cooper worked for the intelligence community, even part-time? Weird.
Senator McCain is correct that the talk shows are populated by people who have never served in the military. But, they don't make decisions about the military – Congress does. I find it much more illustrative that 75% of the members of both houses are non-veterans. Chickenhawks and bleeding hearts alike – odds are that they didn't serve a day before spouting about what is best for the military. As someone who generally finds the current GOP reprehensible, it annoys me further that only one of the freshman class of Democratic Senators is a vet, and none of the freshman Representatives. Have liberal veterans simply given up on elected office? One more data point added to my tally of "Reasons the Democratic Party is Spineless."
How To Get Blocked by the USAF
I understand the USAF's web filters must be working overtime right now, as they attempt to keep the "disclosed but still classified" documents from Wikileaks away from anyone in the military, while they remain available to everyone else on the planet. Just nod and smile. What I find particularly amusing is that there seems to be one way to ensure any arbitrary URL is blocked: add the word "wikileaks" to the path. I open up a news site and some of the images are red Xs – they are all named some variant of xxahbr-wikileaks.jpg or something similar. There are articles in mainstream websites which are not available, even though other articles on the same site are – the articles which are blocked all have "wikileaks" in the URL somewhere. I can't even get to the Wikipedia article about Wikileaks, while I can otherwise wander Wikipedia with impunity. It's bizarre, and entertaining, and yet… A Fox News article my boss emailed me the other day, pointing out the USAF blocking which the USAF has not seen fit to tell us about – that article I could access, even though it had the offending term in its URL. I guess Fox News is on the USAF's "always trust" list, while CBS isn't. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
Repeat after me: "Taxes are lower than ever before in this generation. We are NOT being overtaxed."
It's interesting that we're shifting the tax burden to employment taxes rather than income taxes, and we've completely gutted the wealth taxes. But, we must ensure that the uberwealthy get an extra 100,000 dollars in tax relief, rather than the mere $4000 they would have without this capitulation. Remember, even without an extension of the tax cuts for income above $250,000 – everyone was set to have lower income taxes than before the "temporary" cuts of 2002. Marginal tax rates are not effective tax rates. Oh, and when Eric Cantor says half of all small business owners would have faced higher taxes (and therefore fired people obviously), that's just a lie. The average small businees income is $40,000/year. That's far below $250,000 for those who are bad at math (GOP – I'm looking at you). Now, here's where it gets fun. Only 2.5% of business owners would have faced higher taxes, but those businesses account for 44% of the business income. So, if you want to claim that half the income from businesses would be taxed higher, you're not far off. But, to claim that half of all small businesses would have been hit – that's just bull. Also, there's no solid definition of "small business" so maybe Cantor is thinking that Walmart and Best Buy are small. After all, Eric Cantor's wife makes millions per year – wonder where his loyalties lie.

Medical Malpractice is improper or immoral conduct in the performance of duties by a doctor, done either intentionally or through carelessness or ignorance.

Basin is a census-designated place (CDP) in Jefferson County, Montana, United States. It lies about 10 miles (16 km) southeast of the Continental Divide in a high narrow canyon along Interstate 15 about halfway between Butte and Helena. Basin Creek flows roughly north to south through Basin and enters the Boulder River on the settlement's south side. The population was 255 at the 2000 census. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of human habitation from 10,000 years ago at a site near Clancy, 20 miles (32 km) from Basin. From about 2000 BCE through the mid-19th century, nomadic tribes hunted bison in the grassy valleys that trend east, away from the Rocky Mountains and into the plains. By the time miners found gold in the streams in and near Basin, most of the these tribes of Indians had been forced onto reservations by the U.S. government. Basin rests above the Boulder Batholith, the host rock for many valuable mineral ores found in this part of Montana. After the town became a hub of gold and silver mining, Basin's population peaked at about 1,500 in first decade of the 20th century but gradually declined as the mines were depleted. Abandoned mining equipment, closed or barricaded mine portals, and the ruins of a smelter and ore concentrator remain in Basin in the 21st century. Historic buildings from Basin's heyday form much of the core of the CDP's small business district, which includes a fire station, a post office, two restaurants, a bar, a commercial gallery, small specialty shops, and the nonprofit Montana Artists Refuge. Basin has a small elementary school, its own water system, and a low-power radio station. Local volunteers and elected trustees provide limited services to the settlement, but it relies on the government of Jefferson County, Montana, for law enforcement and other services.

Cancel Your Credit Card if You Payed Adobe
I got an email from Adobe few days back basically telling me that they've been hacked and there's a good chance my credit card information and account details were exposed to hackers. Today I got a phone call from NBK telling me they've noticed I've done a few transactions with Adobe, as I'm subscribed to their creative cloud service and wanted to tell me they're cancelling my prepaid card and giving me a new one to avoid getting it hacked.
That was an impressive move by NBK's part but it's going to take around 10 days for the new card to be ready. I highly recommend anyone who has paid Adobe before to cancel the card they used and get a new one. It is beyond me how a company this advanced, this huge had managed to get 2.9 million customers bank and account details exposed to hackers.

I have been using this nonstop for about seven months I love the way that it makes my hair look and feel I have curly thick frizzy hair and I love to blow dry my hair straight I feel this product really does wonders I have tried so many other products nothing works like this I highly recommend it it does not leave your hair greasy or oily it makes it shiny bouncy Street and no flyaways
My go to for a weightless blow out. No too heavy so it won't weigh your hair down. A great heat protect-ant for blow drying your hair. Will prevent heat damage and breakage from heat damage caused by blow drying. Goes on wet hair. A little goes a long way so the bottle will last you forever. Great for all hair types. Can even cocktail it with a natural hair oil.
I use one and one half pumps of Redken Satinwear along with a tiny bit of Redken Diamond oil and it makes for the best blow dry! Redken Satinwear has been around for a long time and I hope it never gets retired! One of my most loyal products!
I have been using this product for years. I have fine hair and it does not weigh my hair down. I use it before blow drying daily. It smells great while protecting my hair! Love it!
This is the best creme it makes you hair silky soft and helps to keep this from getting burnt not am,azing but not dissapionting either
Smooth hair is only attainable for me when using this before blow drying my hair. It leaves my hair soft and virtually free of frizz
This has to be my favorite Blow Dry Lotion!!! Others don't really work as well, I definitely recommend this to everyone!
I love this product for when I do my hair at home. It gives me a great blow out and leaves my hair soft and manageable.
I love using the redken satin wear as a heat protectant before blow dry. I often use this on my older female clients or ladies with pixies as you don't have to use very much product. One pump will do. This product definitely helps with blow dry time and over all finished appearance of the style!
I never blowdry my hair without this stuff. It really helped my frizz after drying and keeps my hair very soft and flows throughout the day. It's a very light cream so not alot is needed to do the job.
I was thinking to buy this product but a little bit hesitate. Is it really work?
Does this stuff really work? Is it worth the money?
How does this stuff work & when would be the best time to use it while blow drying your hair? Should I put it in while my hair is wet or ?
I've used products like this before that have left my hair oily or with a residue... How does your hair feel after using this?
I've used this product for about a year. It actually works very well right before you blow dry hair. I also use it for heat irons as well.

On Saturday I went out with my sister, her fiance, and my husband to a Strawberry Festival in Delaplane Virginia. I personally think the best part of the festival was purely the location between the low, rolling mountains. Mountain vistas everywhere!
The Shenandoah Valley truly is my home. The celebrations here over the weekend were a lot of fun to go out and enjoy. At the Strawberry festival we bought strawberry sundaes and a basket of strawberries. We walked the park, listened to country music, watched kids do sack races, and asked some questions to a conservation group about red-tailed hawks.
I really enjoy getting to experience little cultural events in rural areas, it reminds me of my time in Harrisonburg. What did you do over Memorial Day weekend?

Topic: Shade Tolerant
Title: Vines for shade in North-Central Georgia
Answered by: Jackie OKeefe
QUESTION:I am looking for something to hide a 6' wood fence that will grow in almost full shade. I have an area approx 2 feet wide to plant in. Since the fence and planting areas are stepped -- about 8 feet for each section, it may be neat to plant a different complimentary plant in each section. I would love them to be evergreen and flowering..but am open to suggestions. What do you recommend? Also, when I bought the house, there was star jasmine planted in small (1 foot tall) pots alongside a shaded garage wall with a trellis behind them. They are not doing well. Do you think they need more sun, a larger pot (or to be put in the ground), or a different plant? Thank you!!
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center works to conserve, propagate and educate the public about our native plants, so our answer suggests natives that can thrive in your area. If your planting site is in full shade, it limits the range of options, and species that bloom in shade are always harder to find. There are six suggestions below. The first five grow in shade; the sixth, Bignonia capreolata (crossvine), requires part sun. If some parts of your fence are better situated for light, that may work for you. Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper) doesn't flower but has pretty fall color. Celastrus scandens (American bittersweet) isn't noted for its flower but bloom-like orange fruits persist through the fall into winter. Please note that there is a very invasive non-native variety that should not be confused with our native bittersweet. Likewise, non-native wisterias are much more invasive than Wisteria frutescens (American wisteria). Of all the vines listed, only Bignonia capreolata (crossvine) is evergreen (usually), but as noted above, it requires more light.
You may find it useful to contact your local experts... Georgia Native Plant Society Newsletter will link you to people in your area. Their advice can be really useful! Here is a link to an article about vines for Georgia:
Native Vines article from Georgia Native Plant Society
One note – some of the feedback online (and my own experiences down here in Texas) suggests that not only do some of these vines do well in your locale; they may do SO well that you will need to keep them in check. In designing your beds, you may want to keep this in mind and design them such that escape by running roots is limited.
Concerning your Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides), which is not native and not really in our scope of expertise, here are a couple of suggestions. Carefully remove one from the pot to see if there's an obvious problem such as soggy or compacted soil, evidence of pests or disease, or so many roots that it clearly needs potting on into a larger container. The soil in pots becomes compacted over time, and harder to keep evenly watered, so periodic repotting is often a good idea. More sun won't hurt, and long-term, it would probably be easier to care for them if they were planted in the ground.
Search the Native Plants database any time for more information on our native species. Our database is always growing and adding new information. The search tools allow you to narrow searches by state, by plant type, and for various growing conditions. There are also recommended plant lists by state.

Parthenocissus quinquefolia (Virginia creeper)

Welcome to SportsNation! On Monday, ESPNChicago.com reporter Jeff Dickerson stops by to chat about the Chicago Bears.

Josh (Southside Chicago)
Did Phil Emery spend any time in the CIA, or are you not allowed to talk about it?
Jeff Dickerson (1:02 PM)
Ha! The Bears are covert, no doubt about it, but it's because they feel like it gives them an advantage. And to some extent, it does. Phil Emery is no different than 99% of the other NFL GMs.
J.Long (Miami)
What are the neighborhoods in Chicago that are near Halas Hall? Any chance I can stay in Tom Waddle's guest house for awhile?
Jeff Dickerson (1:03 PM)
If you're lucky. Waddle's garage is nicer than my house.
Darryl (Winnipeg, MB, Canada)
Are the Bears out on Levitre? It seems most of the chatter is going towards other teams with more cap room.
Jeff Dickerson (1:04 PM)
I don't believe the Bears are going to make a run at the top guards like Levitre or Vasquez. Think second rung guys. I'm starting to wonder if Brandon Moore will be out of their price range.
Mike (Mundelein)
Looks like Emery won't do much in free agency. It's midday Monday and no player cuts or contract restuctures announced for a team with little cap room. What's the logic at Halas Hall?!? Surely this team has a lot of needs on the OL, LB, TE....that all can't be addressed with 5 draft picks.
Jeff Dickerson (1:08 PM)
First of all, the Bears have until Tuesday at 3 p.m. to make a couple of moves if necessary to free up space if they want to have all that done by the start of free agency. But the larger point is that they just don't have a ton of money to spend. That's what happens when you draft poorly over the years. You have to spend money on free agents, and end up with Julius Peppers eating up $16.383 million in cap space. You could sign 3 of 4 really good players for that amont of money. I'm not saying the Bears should get rid of Peppers, but that's reality. And no, I don't believe the Bears can address all their needs in one offseason.
Jeffersonville in. [via mobile]
What Offense of lineman do you see them picking up in free agency
Jeff Dickerson (1:11 PM)
Honestly, a lower level guard that still represents an upgrade over last year. If they can make it work, the Bears would love to land a free agent OT. But those cost money. I don't know if the Bears are in a position to go after those guys, but I'm sure they'll try. They could always take an OT at No. 20 in the draft.
Jammy (NYC)
What are some REALISTIC Interior O-lineman that the bears could target?
Jeff Dickerson (1:12 PM)
I've been a fan of Brandon Moore, but I don't know if the Bears can afford him. But he would be great. Further down the line is Kevin Boothe and Ramon Foster, to name a few.
Peter (New Jersey)
What is the status of safety Brandon Hardin? Will he be ready by training camp?
Jeff Dickerson (1:13 PM)
I believe so. The Bears used a 3rd round pick on Hardin last year. It would be nice to see a return on that investment.
Tim Miller (Endwell, NY)
Are the Bears really interested in Welker?
Jeff Dickerson (1:16 PM)
Again, that's a ton of money for a player at a position where the Bears already have Brandon Marshall, spent a 2nd round pick on Alshon Jeffery and are paying Earl Bennett $2,350,000 (that includes his workout bonus) this upcoming season. I don't see it. Welker should stay in NE. He's got a good thing going there.
Aaron (Mexico)
Will Hester be traded?
Jeff Dickerson (1:17 PM)
I don't think so. What I hear is that new Bears special teams coach Joe DeCamillis loves him and that Hester is content to be a return man. Now, it could change, but at the moment, I don't expect Hester to be moved or released.
los angeled [via mobile]
How will a backfield combo of Reggie Bush/Matt Forte and a star receiv/tight end(any) benefit the bears offense?
Jeff Dickerson (1:20 PM)
I think the Bears would be all for a star TE to emerge on the roster, but they already have a Bush in the backfield to compliment Forte. His name is Michael Bush. You probably forgot about him because the Bears barely used him last year. Bush got a $4,000,000 signing bonus last offseason. It's time for the Bears to get him more snaps on offense.
T. Hopkins (Las Cruces)
Any news on Urlacher being re-signed after his proposed terms?
Jeff Dickerson (1:21 PM)
Last we heard the Bears had not responded to Urlacher's contract proposal. I imagine we'll find out something before the league year begins tomorrow.
Josh (South Carolina)
Have you heard of any possible landing spots for Urlacher if the Bears don't work out a deal with him?
Jeff Dickerson (1:21 PM)
I can think of two places: Dallas and Washington.
Cory (Gary,In)
Seeing in some of the predictions Tyler Effiert might be drafted. I'd like to say I'm a fan of that, especially over the dismal play of Davis. Thoughts?
Jeff Dickerson (1:24 PM)
Tyler Eifert is a going to be a really good NFL player, in my opinion. Let's say there are no OL left on the board worthy of being selected at No. 20 when the Bears go on the clock, I would consider Eifert. Why not? And he'd be a lot cheaper than spending money in free agency on the Jared Cooks of the world.
Vander (Chicago)
8.5m for Melton, while a nice young player, seems a bit high when there are so many other needs on this team @ OL, LB, DB and WR. Thoughts?
Jeff Dickerson (1:24 PM)
Agreed. Don't like that $8.45 million cap number for Henry Melton. My guess is he eventually signs a long-term deal to lower that cap hit.
Eddie (Macomb IL)
Any word on offensive line free agency front? Nick roach a goner?
Jeff Dickerson (1:29 PM)
No. I don't Roach is a goner. But the Bears are going to have to pay him a little money here. Eight teams have shown interest as of this morning. That's not to say all 8 teams will make offers, but there will be a few. It's up to the Bears to make this happen. There is nothing wrong with locking up a talented, 27 year old linebacker with a bright future. I think the Bears view Roach as more than a standard two-down SLB moving forward. So pay him for it. If the numbers are close, I bet Roach stays in Chicago.
David (Fairfax, VA)
Jeff, do you think the Bears will have any interest in signing Adrian Wilson, now that he was released by the Cardinals?
Jeff Dickerson (1:32 PM)
That's a really good question, David. Let me preface that by saying Wilson can still play and would be an outstanding pickup at a discounted rate. But, the Bears do have young and experienced guys like Chris Conte and Major Wright at safety, a good reserve in Craig Steltz, a promising candidate for the 4th or 5th safety spot in Tom Nelson, and oh yeah, they used a 3rd round pick last year on Brandon Hardin. So I don't know if safety is a huge need, but the Bears seem to add one every year. If they signed Wilson to around a veteran minimum deal, I can't imagine too many Bears fans would complain.
J Finley (Green Bay)
Wouldn't I look good in a Bears uniform?
Jeff Dickerson (1:33 PM)
I'd love to see you thrown into the mix with Marshall and Cutler, for entertainment purposes if nothing else.
Austin (Iowa) [via mobile]
What are the chances that if we clear enough cap room with either restructuring or extending current players deals that we go after a guy like Mike Wallace? The combo of Marshall, Jeffery, Wallace and Bennett would be deadly.
Jeff Dickerson (1:35 PM)
From what I've read, Austin, Mike Wallace is going to command over $11 million a year. Don't see it in Chicago. You know when the Bears should have added Wallace to their roster? In the 2009 NFL draft when they instead moved out of the second round and selected WR Juaquin Iglesias. How did that work out for them?
Dannon Sherich (Thomson, IL)
Why havent the Bears gave Kellen Davis the boot yet?
Jeff Dickerson (1:36 PM)
Maybe they want to see if they can upgrade the position first. Or maybe it happens before tomorrow at 3 pm.
David (Wisconsin)
I know this is probably a pretty crazy question and has nothing to do with the current issues with the Bears.....but is there any chance down the road that the Mckaskeys build a new stadium that has nothing to do with the Park district?
Jeff Dickerson (1:40 PM)
We can all dream. But the Bears would probably need to spend their own money to build the stadium. Therein lies the problem. And as a son of the great state of Illinois, we have our share of corruption issues when it comes to getting things built or accomplished on a govt. level. So I wouldn't hold your breath.
Todd (Crystal Lake)
do signing bonus count twords the cap? Can the Bears make a lower contact offer but give big signing bonus to free up cap space?
Jeff Dickerson (1:45 PM)
Another good question, Todd. Yes, a signing bonus does count towards the cap, but what teams do is prorate that amount over the life of the deal. For example, Kellen Davis got a $2.7 million signing bonus last offseason. Half of that ($1.350 million) counted towards his salary cap number last year. The other $1.350 million counts towards Davis' 2013 cap number and would represent the "dead money" the Bears would have to carry this year if they cut Davis. So while a move the get rid of Davis would clear up $2.5 million in salary cap space, the Bears would still be on the hook for that $1.350 million counting against the cap this year. Bears would probably like a do-over on that one.
Taylor (Loop)
With Kelvin Hayden looking on open market, if he leaves would Bears consider bringing back DJ Moore?
Jeff Dickerson (1:46 PM)
No. That ship has sailed. D.J. is looking for a new team. He could use a fresh start.
Eddie (Macomb IL )
What are the odds Jake Long becomes a Bear? Would be nice protection for Jay and a good investment.
Jeff Dickerson (1:48 PM)
If they can steal Long for a low price, then it's worth considering. But when I read things that state he's looking for over $11 million a year, I just don't see it happening.
T. Hopkins (Las Cruces)
Do think it would benefit the Bears OL more if they upgraded at Center and allowed Garza to move back to Guard than to replace Webb?
Jeff Dickerson (1:49 PM)
I don't know if the Bears would move Garza back to guard. I think they will be looking to add a guy capable of playing center at some point. Roberto has had an excellent career, but he's getting close to the end.
James Ellerson (Alsip)
Evan Rodriguez was drafted because he had the ability to stretch the field, seemingly the way Greg Olsen did for us, but in his rookie season, we didnt get to see much of him, especially with his injury. With him working out with Marshall, along with Jeffery, what do you think are the bears chances of giving him the opportunity to be the main pass catching TE next season?
Jeff Dickerson (1:51 PM)
Yes, I believe Evan Rodriguez will be given a chance to be a vertical threat in the passing game next year. I still think the Bears could consider adding another TE either in free agency or via the draft, but don't sleep on Rodriguez. He was a 4th round pick. Emery likes him. He will get his shot.
Rena Menkes (Work)
Ok....so if youre Phil Emery, is there any concern about stocking the o-line with more high intensity guys? Between JWeed and others, theyre a quiet, uninspiring bunch. Guys like Eric Winston and the rookie Fluker could really bring some spunk!!! ok, BYE
Jeff Dickerson (1:55 PM)
Sure. But I'd first like to see some guys have are actually good offensive linemen. I would have no objection if the Bears could somehow land Winston. He's what they need. And I loved Fluker at the Combine. He seems like a winner to me. Although, granted, I'm not paid to make those evaluations. The sad thing is there is so much work to be done of the OL, I can't see it all getting done in one offseason. That's what happens when you swing and miss on a pair of 1st round tackles.
Matt (Groton, South Dakota)
how is Lance Louis progressing? Do you see him getting resigned?
Jeff Dickerson (1:57 PM)
I've been told that Louis has been rehabbing at Halas Hall since the start of the offseason and working hard at it. I feel bad for Louis. He was in position to get a nice contract before he got hurt. But now with the ACL, it's going to be a struggle. But I sense the Bears want to bring him back and will probably get something done with him.
Theo (Lincoln Park)
So it is obvious that in Cutler's final year of his contract we are putting a lot of eggs into his basket. If he doesn't pan out this season, what are some viable QB options for the bears?
Jeff Dickerson (1:58 PM)
I don't know. But I hope Phil Emery has a Plan B at quarterback. He may need it.
Jeff Dickerson (1:59 PM)
Thanks everybody. We hope to have more news today. I'll be on from 7-10 tonight on ESPN 1000 and this afternoon at 3:30 with Carmen and Jurko. Talk to you then.

Said hello

2 hours evaporated
into what seemed
like a few seconds.
Actually, timelessness.
There seemed no time
I was so totally engrossed
& involved in effortless
I found myself eloquently
fluent in my expression
of words and even more
so between the lines.
I tapped into a source
I couldn't have broke
into before.
Somehow, I found
my way into and out
of my creative genius
without trying. The
ideas and words just came
to me & no matter
how difficult the concept
initially seemed to

ease, rarely reaching

... and here's our poor Christmas tree, just put out to pasture today ...
School was cancelled today, but the nanny was here because the snow didn't really start until lunchtime. I didn't leave the office until about 2:30pm when I realized the roads were beginning to get bad. I slid home, with a new humidifier in tow (the eczema problems in this household are spiraling), and tried to get more work done with Kyle meandering around too, but I wasn't overly successful. The house was just louder than usual, even though Claire went to play at neighbor Ashley's house.
So Kyle will soon be called out to snow plow, and I'll get no kid or house breaks for a while again. Friday looks to be one of the worst days yet with a low of -13F and a high of zero degrees. Frostbite can occur quickly in those conditions, which likely means the kids won't see the outdoors for a few more days. Obviously school is cancelled again for tomorrow, so I'll have a WFH day with all three stir crazy kids the whole day.
We've had better winters before.

Ed Rendell says Donald Trump's past comments on women will likely come back to haunt
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell says Donald Trump's past comments on women will likely come back to haunt him because Rendell says "there are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women."
The Democrat was offering his thoughts to The Washington Post on the likely Republican nominee's prospects for success in the Philadelphia suburbs when he made the comment. Rendell says Trump's comments might gain him some working-class Democratic voters, but will cost him Republican women because he says "people take that stuff personally."
Rendell didn't immediately return requests for comment.
Rendell's comments have stirred up controversy in the past. In 2010, he said the U.S. had "become a nation of wusses" following the postponement of a Philadelphia Eagles game due to a snowstorm.
