- "We've survived the Greenskins' invasion of our world. We've survived the fall of of the Arx Tyrannus. We've survived the death of so many of our brothers. The Greenskins before us are not a threat but an opportunity for vengeance. An opportunity for glory. An opportunity to show the universe that the Crimson Fists still live! For the Primarch! For the Emperor! For the Crimson Fists!"
- — Chapter Master Pedro Kantor at the Battle of Traitor's Gorge
Pedro Kantor is the 29th and current Chapter Master of the Crimson Fists Chapter of Space Marines, having served as its master for almost a standard century, and his record of service goes back another 250 Terran years. He first rose to prominence at the Battle of Melchitt Sound, where, as a sergeant, he led the crucial boarding action against the Ork Kill Kroozer, Da Growla. The Kroozer was disabled in the attack, allowing the Crimson Fists' Strike Cruiser, The Crusader, to break the Ork line of battle and scatter the Greenskin fleet into the detritus-clogged outer system. Pedro Kantor is a heroic figure of the Imperium of Man who has fought bravely to bring about victory when faced with great tragedy. His presence inspires loyalty and heroism in his troops. Unlike his close friend, Captain Alessio Cortez, Kantor places his duty to the Emperor of Mankind and to the people of the Imperium above his desire for glory or vengeance. He has a strong sense of honour that sometimes leaves him torn between what is morally right and what is tactically sound. Kantor is faced with the difficult task of bringing his Chapter back to full strength after the costly defence of his Chapter homeworld of Rynn's World.
Battle of Rynn's World
In 989.M41, an Ork Warlord known as Snagrod, the Arch-Arsonist of Charadon, began a massive Ork WAAAGH!, taking several Imperial colonies of the Loki Sector with minimal resistance. Snagrod boasted that his next conquest would be Rynn's World, a peaceful Agri-world and Chapter planet of the Crimson Fists Space Marines. The 3rd Company of the Crimson Fists, under Captain Ashor Drakken, was sent to stall the WAAAGH! on the planet of Badlanding and gauge its strength. The size of Snagrod's forces had been significantly underestimated, and only a few Astartes of the 3rd Company escaped to relay this vital intelligence back to Chapter Master Kantor.
Invasion of Rynn's World
Kantor ordered the immediate recall of all Crimson Fists, and set about organizing the defences of Rynn's World to meet the expected Greenskin assault. During the initial invasion of Rynn's World, a great tragedy befell the Crimson Fists. A missile launched by one of the planetary defence installations struck the Crimson Fists' own fortress-monastery. The missile's potent warhead levelled the monastery, leaving just over a dozen survivors, Kantor among them. The survivors were ultimately able to travel overland through great peril and link up with a detachment of Crimson Fists, consisting of elements of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Companies, assigned to defend Rynn's World's capital, New Rynn City. Taking command of the Imperial forces, Kantor was able to hold off the Orks through an 18-month-long siege until Imperial reinforcements could arrive just before the city fell to a horde of Ork Gargants.
- "We have been wounded sorely. Yet still we stand, with fire in our eyes and valour in our hearts. Let them think us beaten. We shall teach them otherwise."
- — Chapter Master Pedro Kantor following the Invasion of Rynn's World
The Rynn's World Incident resulted in the near-destruction the Crimson Fists Chapter. As a result, Kantor's primary focus is currently on rebuilding the Chapter. Due to their significant losses, the Crimson Fists can only be fielded as infiltration-size squads of Astartes. Snagrod's WAAAGH! has induced a deep hatred of Orks within the Chapter, and it is said that Crimson Fists Astartes will go to any lengths to defeat any Ork forces they encounter.
All of Rynn's World's major cities were destroyed with the exception of New Rynn City, the capital and seat of the world's government, before the planet was brought back under Imperial control years later. Millions of the Agri-world's people had been killed, most likely a majority of the population. it would take decades for the planet to recover its lost infrastructure and agricultural productivity. Many of the worlds of the Loki Sector captured by WAAAGH! Snagrod, including Badlanding, are lost, remaining in Ork hands to this day.
Battle for Traitor's Gorge
One tale of the reclamation of Rynn's World from the Orks of WAAAGH! Snagrod is not so widely told, and known only to the Crimson Fists' Chapter Master Pedro Kantor and his closest Battle-Brothers. The tale begins a half-year after the completion of the reclamation of Rynn's World from WAAAGH! Snagrod. Although the planet was officially designated by the Imperium as secure once more, Orks are always a difficult species to truly eradicate once they have made planetfall. Several Greenskin warbands were known to be lurking in the planet's Jaden Mountains, conducting raids that the surviving weary and war-torn populace of Rynn's World could ill-afford.
As the Crimson Fists' few surviving Techmarines salvaged and repaired what little had survived the WAAAGH!'s assault, Chapter Master Kantor dedicated himself to cleansing the Jaden Mountains of the remaining Orks that lurked within their confines. It was a difficult campaign, for the Orks defended every crag and cavern, and Kantor had neither the men nor the equipment he would have wished for such a task. Nonetheless, the Crimson Fists forged on, slaying Greenskins wherever they could be found. Under such a threat, it was perhaps only a matter of time before the Orks of the Jaden Mountains united. So it was that when Kantor's force came under attack in Traitor's Gorge, they found themselves assailed not only by the warband that they had been hunting, but by every Ork for leagues around in every direction.
Though but two dozen in number, Kantor and his Crimson Fists fought as heroes of legend, taking a grievous toll on an Ork horde that numbered hundreds. With Kantor at the forefront, the Space Marines battled their way clear of the ravine's treacherous confines and sought the high ground. There they planted their feet and fought shoulder to shoulder against the horde, but still the Orks kept coming. With all the Crimson Fists' Thunderhawk Gunships lost in battle or under heavy repair, Kantor knew that both evacuation and reinforcement were impossible, and the Orks showed no sign of giving up the battle. Three of Kantor's Battle-Brothers had been slain in the escape from the ravine, and only the Chapter Master remained unwounded. In return, the Crimson Fists madeTraitor's Gorge run red with the blood of slain Greenskins, and fought from behind barricades of the bulky Orkish dead, but Kantor knew that the odds were stacked against him.
Without warning, the Greenskin tide began to slacken. Seeking the reason, Kantor's keen eye saw ghostly figures on Widow's Spire to the west and Darkridge to the east, high above and behind the encircling Orks. Graceful were these newcomers, darting from cover to cover and paying no heed to the treacherous footing as their longrifles brought precise death to the Ork horde. Who his fresh allies were, Kantor could not immediately tell, for their forms shimmered as insubstantial as mist in the morning sunlight, but nor did he care. All that mattered was that this intervention gave his Battle-Brothers the chance that they needed to counterattack and turn the battle's tide.
Giving a mighty shout, the Crimson Fists charged over their rampart of dead greenskins and set upon the Orks with new vigour. Caught between the re-doubled rage of the Crimson Fists and fresh attackers on the slopes, the Orks were thrust back. The Greenskins fled down Traitor's Gorge, leaving more than ten score dead and twice as many wounded behind them. As Kantor's men walked amongst the carnage, ending the lives of those Orks too foolhardy or injured to flee, a robed figure detached itself from the shadows clustered on Widow's Spire and strode swiftly to Kantor's side. Coldly contemptuous of any threat posed by the watchful Space Marines, it cut through the Chapter Master's wary greeting:
"The surviving beasts cower in the shadows below, ensnared in a web of our devising. Pursue them into the darkness and a great victory shall be yours."
"And should I choose not to do so?" Kantor asked, for he could not bring himself to place his trust in the elaborately helmed alien, now revealed as a warrior of the Eldar race, that stood before him.
"Then they will escape and grow ever stronger in the darkness. In fifty years a shadow of their making will arise to envelop this area of space which, unopposed, shall be the doom of your people and mine. Catastrophe will reign, and you shall lament your inaction this day."
"Will you aid us in the gorge as you did here?" Kantor demanded, but the figure shook its head.
"Be not so swift to embrace us as allies. Auspicious fate dictated that we should fight side-by-side this day but, fate is a fickle creature. At our next encounter, it will be my fists that bear the stain of your blood."
And with that, the alien turned and was gone, and the shadows that lurked amongst the scree of Widow's Spire and Darkridge were gone also. Kantor weighed the words and actions he had borne witness to and led his men into Traitor's Gorge. There in the darkness a great victory was indeed his, forever ending the Ork threat in the Jaden Mountains. Returning to the lowlands, Kantor continued the rebuilding of his Chapter, and in time raised the Crimson Fists out of ruin to once more stand alongside the greatest champions of Mankind. But in all the years of triumph that followed, the robed figure's words would dwell heavily on Kantor until, at the last, they met again...
- Artificer Armour
- Dorn's Arrow (Storm Bolter) - Pedro Kantor is known to carry Dorn's Arrow, an ancient and revered relic Storm Bolter attached to his gauntlet that has a high rate of fire, even for a Storm Bolter. It is also able to penetrate thick armour plate.
- Iron Halo - Pedro Kantor also carries his Iron Halo as a protective shield against attacks. This proved very effective against the Orks during the Battle of Rynn's World.
- Power Fist - A Power Fist (also known as a "Power Glove") is essentially an over-sized, armoured gauntlet that generates an energy field around it that disrupts any solid matter it touches. It is a favoured close combat weapon for the warriors of the Imperium of Man, as well as the Forces of Chaos (particularly the Chaos Space Marines). It is an iconic weapon of the Loyalist Space Marines. It is large and slow in combat, and so the bearer must be willing to risk the blows of his enemy before he can strike back. The benefits of the Power Fist are that it increases the user's strength, much as Power Armour does due to the power provided by the mechanical servos that allow the Power Fist to move as its user desires. The disadvantages of its unwieldy nature are often well worth the limitations, however, as as the combination of the disruptive power field and sheer physical strength afforded by a Power Fist allows a Space Marine to pulverize and tear apart armour plate from the most well-protected of vehicles, and to wound and kill even colossal monstrous creatures in close combat; its brutal effects against more mundane foes goes without saying. It is most commonly found fitted to Space Marine Tactical Dreadnought Armour.

Slashing Capacity
In early 2016, the State Council, China's cabinet, issued two consecutive directives designed to cut excessive capacity in the country's coal and steel industries in response to downward economic pressure. The central government made reducing capacity a top priority in its 2016 work report. Starting from 2014, the market prices of steel, coal and oil have been in free-fall, resulting in industry-wide losses in 2015 for these vast enterprises. According to the China National Coal Association, China uses four billion tons of coal annually, but production exceeds five billion. Industry sources also suggested that domestic consumption of crude steel peaked at 764 million tons in 2013 before falling by 3.4 percent in 2014 and 5.5 percent in 2015. Controlling the exposure of debt-ridden enterprises, many of them State-owned; managing redundancies; and better integrating market forces with government subsidies are all challenges that economic planners are struggling to address.

Denizens, this Cham-Peen-Ship Eee-Dish-Shun of the Perfect Football Weekend begins with the old adage, "If you have to tell someone how good you actually are…you actually aren't".
Exhibit #6…as in the sixth-ranked Baylor Cubbies…and their public-relations firm.
Baylor has hired Kevin Sullivan Communications, but the company's founder and namesake says his company wasn't hired to influence opinion.
"We were hired just to be an extra resource on the media relations front to help out (Baylor executive associate athletic director) Nick (Joos)," Kevin Sullivan told Fox Sports Southwest on Monday night. "He's got a small staff and has a huge amount of activity going on right now."
The university hired the firm last week.
Sullivan said Baylor had used the firm in the past and he'd had a long relationship with Joos. He also said any insinuation that the firm had been hired to influence the 12-person committee charged with selecting the four participants in the College Football Playoff was "inaccurate."
"We're just trying to set up some national interviews for (athletic director) Ian (McCaw)," Sullivan said. "It's media relations, that's all."
So, essentially, the Dumb Fucks Down In Waco didn't hire Sully's group to influence public opinion, NoSirreeBob. No, they're just going to help with media relations.
To help them influence public opinion.
The simple fact is this: The Playoff Selection Committee has seen the 61-58 travesty that took place in Waco a few weeks back – and the more they've thought about it, the more they have realized that there's no fucking way in Hell that Baylor's a better team than TCU – a position pretty strongly reinforced by that selfsame Cubbie squad getting torched by unranked West Virginia the next week.
Memo to Widdle Artie Bwiles and the rest of the Baylor pussies: Save the PR money next time – and just beat West Virginia. (Oh, and playing someone other than the Little Sisters of the Poor in non-conference wouldn't hurt, either.)
Okay, here we go. It's finally put-up-or-shut-up time for Gary Patterson and his third-ranked TCU Horned Frogs. They have Iowa State at home – and though the Cyclones aren't going to be the pushover everyone's expecting…how bad are they?
They got beat by Rock Chalk.
If TCU wants to be taken seriously this year, they not only have to beat Iowa State at home, but beat them convincingly. None of this "we only need to score one more point than them" bullshit this week, Coach P. We have to have a beating of Texas Tech proportions tomorrow (sorry, General). Pull what Baylor did last week against Tech, and both Baylor and Ohio State will jump you.
One of your team mottos is "Leave No Doubt". Well, now's the time.
Sunday, Andy Dalton & the Cincinnati Bengals will play host to Ben Roethelisberger (did I spell that right?) and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pittsburgh…isn't quite as good this year as in years past. They're still 7-5, but they've looked postively horrible in those five losses. Still, it's a technical toss-up (Bengals favored at home by three); it'll depend on how well Cincy's line protects Andy.
The wild-card games this week are as follows: Oklahoma State to play #20 Oklahoma in the annual Bedlam game (never mind where they go post-season – this is OU's bowl game), 13th-ranked Wisconsin vs. #5 The Ohio State University in the B1G championship game (sorry, but OSU has no chance against Bucky with their third-string quarterback playing), top-ranked Alabama vs. 16th-ranked Mizzou in the SEC championship game (I'd love for Mizzou to win here, 'cause it might actually propel Baylor to the top four and finally get them to shut up – but Bama's too strong) and SMU
T going up to play Connecticut (the Huskies were the Shitland Ponies' first post-Death Penalty victim, and Kennycut's never forgotten that; SMU T completes its winless season).
I'm back at work Monday, so I'll get to the recap ASAP – hopefully Sunday. In the meantime, Vicar, care to pick the SEC winner…?

Denizens, we launch into this week's edition of the Perfect Football Weekend with yet another blurb from the Penn State debacle – this time with the No Cojones At All administration coming >< this close to stepping into a pile of shit up to its collective head. To wit: — "A newly disclosed email from the NCAA's top lawyer documents just how close Penn State came to having its football program shut down due to the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal. It says the school's "cooperation and transparency" saved the program." — (Sorry for the formatting – looks like WordPress is vomiting up a lot of my coding tonight.) That would be the "cooperation and transparency" into which it was browbeaten & cowed, if you'll recall. — "The email from lawyer Donald Remy to a school attorney was attached to a court filing Thursday, as the NCAA battles with two Pennsylvania officials over penalties that were imposed on Penn State. The email establishes that on July 17, 2012, six days before the Penn State sanctions were announced, a majority on the NCAA executive committee favored the "death penalty," shutting down the football program." — And again, this is the NCAA threatening to shut down the football program for the actions of people who weren't even employed there, simply because they had certain access to certain buildings, where they performed activities that were not even sanctioned by the university, that were eventually dealt with by school personnel in accordance with Pennsylvania law. This would be akin to Arlington Heights losing its football program for me entering the school building and performing some illegality, any illegality, that was arbitrarily & capriciously deemed to be _¡qué horrible!_ Damn good thing I'm not the PSU chancellor. My lawsuit against the NCAA would have started at ten (10) digits, and gone from there. (For the pussies in the Church of the SubTarded, that's one-extra-extra-extra-extra large, or one billion.) Once again…fuck you, NCAA. Very quickly now, on with the football. As I write this, my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets, fresh off a perfect season, are in the bi-district playoffs against Burleson Centennial HS down south of Realm HQ, in Mansfield. As of this writing, Heights is up 7-0, so we'll keep an eye on that. Tomorrow, Gary Patterson takes his fourth-ranked TCU Horned Frogs – yes, that's right; if the season ended today, the Frogs would be in the playoffs – up to Lawrence to play Rock Chalk. The Tadpoles are a solid 28-point favorite here, so unless they lay a complete egg, I don't see them breaking _that_ much of a sweat. Sunday, Andy Dalton's Cincinnati Kittycats – fresh off that humiliation at the hands of Cleveland (Cleveland?), try to snap out of it vs. the Saints at the Superdome in N'awlins. This isn't the best place to try to snap out of a funk, but N'awlins isn't playing all that well, either (they're one game under .500), so even though they're a 7-point favorite at home, Cincy's got a shot here. Wild card games are as follows: *Oklahoma* traveling to Lubbock & taking out their Baylor frustrations on TTech (sorry, Generalette), #16 Nebraska going up to Madison to get pounded on by #20 *Wisconsin* (Joel Stave's not quite as crappy a quarterback as Tommy Armstrong), and top-ranked Mississippi State running into fifth-ranked *Alabama's* buzzsaw (sorry, Vicar). We're back next week with the recap. Maybe it'll be Monday – who knows?

As we launch another edition of the Perfect Football Weekend, Denizens, we are compelled to revisit the railroading & virtual crucifixion of one Joseph Paterno, former Pennsylvania State University head football coach, and how he was made to account, drawn & quartered, for basically performing within the scope of his job.
In this column, we are now finding out that even the NCAA knew that it didn't have the legal authority to hand down any sanctions on either Paterno or the PSU program.
New internal NCAA emails offer a glimpse into how the organization questioned its own decision-making leading up to the unprecedented sanctions levied against Penn State in 2012, saying at one point it was banking on the fact that the university "is so embarrassed they will do anything."
Seven pages of emails — from July 13 to July 21, 2012 — were filed Sunday as part of a Pennsylvania state senator's lawsuit against the NCAA.
NCAA president Mark Emmert announced the sanctions against the university July 23, 2012.
"Delicate issue, but how did PSU gain a competitive advantage by what happened?" Kevin Lennon, the NCAA vice president for academic and membership affairs, wrote July 14, 2012. "Even if discovered, reported, and actions taken immediately by the administration, not sure how this would have changed anything from a competitive advantage perspective."
Julie Roe Lach, then the NCAA's top enforcement officer, responded to Lennon about 75 minutes later. She told him that "Mark" — believed to be Emmert — thought Penn State did gain a competitive advantage, although she and several others disagreed with that point.
"I characterized our approach to PSU as a bluff when talking to Mark yesterday afternoon after the call," she wrote.
"We find it deeply disturbing that NCAA officials in leadership positions would consider bluffing one of their member institutions, Penn State, to accept sanctions outside of their normal investigative and enforcement process," the university said in a statement released Wednesday.
So, basically, the NCAA intimidated Penn State into firing JoePa and engaging in its own little bit of self-flagellation.
Now, there's not a single one here who is saying that what Jerry Sandusky did wasn't wrong. What I'm saying is that neither PSU nor Paterno bore any responsibility in the matter (save for State firing Paterno & turning him into some sort of pariah), and should not have been held accountable. And for the NCAA to have done exactly that, through illegal means, smacks of the worst sort of fascism.
Fuck you & the horse you rode in on, NCAA.
On with the football. Another early start to the PFW, but this time it's Andy Dalton's Cincinnati Bengals at home versus cross-state rival Cleveland for first place in the AFC Central.
Normally I wouldn't give Brian Hoyer much chance on the road, but Cincy's defense isn't exactly the '93 Cowboys. Game goes to whomever has the ball last.
Last game of the regular season for Phil Young and my Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets Friday evening, this one against the Western Hills Cougars (aka the Alma Mater of the First Wife) – and, given what's been done to them this year…well, call it overconfidence if you must, but Heights could play it's third-string all game and rout these guys.
How bad is Western Hills? Their only victory is against North Side. By six points.
South Hills destroyed them on an Aledo scale, 83-7.
Trimble Tech, whom Heights smashed last week, 64-0? The week prior, they beat Hills 60-18.
This will be the first unbeaten season in football for Heights in a long time. How long? Don't know for sure, but I think I was going there at the time.
Saturday, it'll be Gary Patterson's sixth-ranked TCU Horned Frogs at home versus Bill Snyder's seventh-ranked Kansas State Wildcats. The purple team will win.
TCU needs this one. Get it, and it's all but a fait accompli that they win the Big XII. They're home, so I feel better than I otherwise would, but it'll still be close.
The wildcard games this week will be Marshall at Southern Miss (sorry, Vicar), #23 West Virginia taking out their frustrations versus TU (Charlie Strong runs into another buzzsaw), and #20 Georgia destroying Kentucky (the Dawgs are not happy about losing to Florida, and the Wildcats are gonna be made to pay).
We're back next week with a recap. With any luck, it'll actually be Monday.

Drudge is reporting that Janet "Big Sister" Napolitano is out the door, outta here!!!.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday she will step down from her post to become president of the University of California system.
Yeah…she'll fit right in: She's a fruit, a flake and a nut.

The outrageous thing about this bitch is that she's still wasting our oxygen.
Narrating a new MSNBC "Lean Forward" spot, the Tulane professor laments that we in America "haven't had a very collective notion that these are our children." "[W]e have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families, and recognize that kids belong to their communities," Harris-Perry argued.
Get near my boy, you cowardly cunt, and – parental rights or not – it'll be the last thing you ever do.
Children belong to the parents – not you, the "community" or the State. And as much as I dislike Her Doublewide Bitchiness, I'd still trust her with my son more than I would you.
So don't even think it, bitch. Unless you have a death wish.

And as if that weren't enough (as the General succinctly noted here), the National Concubine of Asshats & Arsekissers decided to collect their own pound of flesh:
The NCAA decision to void all Penn State victories back to 1998 eliminated 111 Penn State victories, dropping iconic coach Joe Paterno from the all-time winningest football coach to 12th on the list.
With the wins voided, Paterno's official career win total is 298. Bobby Bowden with 377 wins becomes the all-time winningnest Division I.
Bullshit. Pure, unadulterated, 100-percent non-biodegradeable bullshit. The NCAA does not have the authority to do that to either Paterno or Penn State. JoePa & the Nittany Lions won those games fair & square, and there's fuck all the NCAA can do about it.
Suck it, NCAA! Joe Paterno has just as many wins as he did this time seven days ago. Kiss Penn State's collective ass if you don't like that.
The NCAA has slammed Penn State with an unprecedented series of penalties, including a $60 million fine and the loss of all coach Joe Paterno's victories from 1998-2011, in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Other sanctions include a four-year ban on bowl games, and the loss of 20 scholarships per year over four years.
Not that I give a shit about what happens to the school itself, seeing as it pissed on the Paterno family's back and tried to tell 'em it was raining.
But if I were them, I'd be on the horn to my attorneys RightFuckingNow. The National Cowards & Assholes Association may fancy itself as some sort of college athletics Gestapo, but that doesn't mean their bullshit has the force of law.
Do it, Penn State. Bloody their noses a bit and see if they don't back off.
I dare you.

This morning, Pennsylvania State University beclowned itself with an act of sacrilege.
The Joe Paterno statue was removed Sunday morning from its pedestal outside Beaver Stadium, and it will be stored in an unnamed "secure location," Penn State president Rodney Erickson announced. Erickson also said the Paterno name will remain on the university's library.
Well, how absolutely fuckin' white of Widdle Wodney.
The decision came 10 days after a scathing report by former FBI director Louis J. Freeh found that Paterno, with three other top Penn State administrators, had concealed allegations of child sexual abuse made against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. The Freeh report concluded their motive was to shield the university and its football program from negative publicity.
Lemme tell you something about Louise Freeh. This dickhead was the FBI director for one Bill "Kaiser Wilhelm von Slickmeister" Clinton.
You guys do remember Der Kaiser, don't you? You know – the half-assed excuse-for-a-President who had a full-blown affair with one Monica Lewinsky (complete with a cigar up her pussy & everything) – then lied about it to the American people?!?!?!?!?! That Kaiser Wilhelm?
Louise Freeh was part of one of the lyingest half-assed regimes in American history. He himself is a lying sack of shit. If Louise Freeh were to tell me that 2+2=4, I'd damned sure have a calculator & a couple of computers handy.
Joe Paterno was never charged with a crime. He never had a fair trial. His attorneys were never – and still aren't – allowed to cross-examine witnesses, whom themselves are shielded by their own attorneys. Yet we're expected, nay obligated, to take Louise Freeh's word as fucking gospel?!
Fuck. That.
Joe Paterno, like every other American citizen, is innocent until proven guilty. He, just like all the rest of us, is entitled to the benefit of the doubt. Nothing less.
Yet Widdle Wodney Ewickson, being the spineless little dickweasel he is, will take the word of the FBI director of a known & proven liar, and further sully the reputation of the man that defined what previously had been the model college football program for nearly the last half century – and does it after the man has died, thus leaving him unable to defend himself.
Typical leftard scumbaggery.
Fuck you, Rodney Erickson.
Fuck you, Penn State.
Fuck you, Louise Freeh, you cowardly little needle-dicked son-of-a-bitch.

Was it something I said?
Ged Kates can keep his job another year – but dammit, son, you need to find you a secondary.
Guess it was too daunting a task. Kates is taking his marbles and moving to
Beverly Hills Richland Hills.
The Arlington Heights football program, one of the most successful teams in the district, took the biggest hit, with seven coaches resigning.
In 2009, with Ged Kates as their head coach, the Yellow Jackets became the first Fort Worth team in eight years to win a playoff game. Heights also won a playoff game in 2011. In January, Kates accepted the head coaching position at Richland.
Former Kates assistants Brian Brown, Steven Burkett, Jacob Johnson, William Kates, Cody McCauley, Derek Ward and Whitney Wyatt have decided to leave.
Kates said three of his former Heights assistants will join him at Richland.
They're calling it a cost-cutting measure. I call it the gutting of a once-proud football program.

Denizens, welcome to this week's edition of the Perfect Football Weekend.
Arlington Heights gets its season ended by Birdville tonight, fifth-ranked Smurf Turf Douchebag State proves once again it can't beat TCU without their so-called "trickeration" (they'll win, but they'll have to use trick plays to do so), sixth-ranked Oklahoma has the week off, so we'll plug in 18th-ranked Wisconsin at UMinne-haha, 19th-ranked Nebraska is at 12th-ranked Penn State, and Dallas has Beefalo at home on Sunday.
And I'm not pontificating on the games this weekend, because I've got a Red Curtain o' Blood covering my eyes RightAboutNow, and a certain Filipina bitch – not to mention a lot of other Lame-Assed Media types – are at the top of my shit list.
Some background. A damned good man lost his job today, and he lost it for the CARDINAL, UNFORGIVABLE SIN!!!!11!!!ONE!!1!ELEVENTYMILLION!!1!…of following Pennsylvania state law.
I refer, of course, to Joe Paterno.

Guess you've seen by now where racist
eugenics evolutionary shit-for-brains professor shit-for-brains Satoshi Kanazawa has all but decreed that we conservatives and/or Christians ain't too ed-yoo-ma-ka-ted.
Political, religious and sexual behaviors may be reflections of intelligence, a new study finds.
Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs. This applied also to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. The findings will be published in the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly.
There is but one thing – and only one thing, if you ask me – that can be viewed as a proper response to an asshat like this.
"Romans 1:22″.

What really pisses me off about this is that my boy is about to be indoctrinated into this bullshit, and I can't do much about it – save for some very illegal shit…
Candidates for certification to teach in public schools in Texas are being told that they will be held accountable for any "heterosexist" leanings and must become agents working to change society, according to one candidate who was alarmed by the demands.
The applicant, who requested anonymity for fear of repercussions, told WND part of the teachings on multiculturalism required him to read several online postings about the issue inside the education industry.
One warns that "teachers and administrators must be held accountable for practices deemed to be racist, sexist, heterosexist, classist, or in any other way discriminatory." And a second warned that educators must not define education as the basic skills.
Oh, they'll be held accountable, all right – 'specially after the fecal material begins to impact the oscillating bladed spindle.
"How do we create a better world? How do we do more than simply survive? As educators, we must help people to become committed to social change," the article demanded.
Well, I know how you bastards can create a better world – but your survival doesn't have much to do with it.
Go read the rest. It's RCOB time for me…

The Department of Well, This Is A Shock chimes in with this not terribly surprising piece of crap which should surprise no one save those living under rocks.
An overwhelming majority of science professors at Texas' public and private universities say they're against a state policy requiring that weaknesses in the theory of evolution be covered in public school science classes, according to a new study released Monday.
Nah, can't have the young skulls full o' mush (a little Rush lingo, there) gettin' their minds filled with, y'know, actual truth. That might, who knows? postpone their inevitable indoctrination into the One World Religion of Gaia and Mother Earth 'n all. We can't very well have that, now can we?

Guys, I'm gonna have to borrow a Glenn Beck line for this one.
Blood is gonna come SHOOTING out of your eyes on this one
This is so farking sick I am having a difficult time trying to figure out what to say to start things. So I'll just let the guys from WND take care of it. Go here to follow along.
A federal court decision approving mandatory public school instruction for children as young as kindergarten in how to be homosexual is being allowed to stand, drawing a description of "despicable" from the parent who unsuccessfully challenged his school district's "gay" advocacy agenda.
The U.S. Supreme Court without comment has refused to intervene in a case prompted by the actions of officials at Estabrook Elementary school in Lexington, Mass., who not only were teaching homosexuality to young children, but specifically refused to allow Christian parents to opt their children out of the indoctrination.
I know everyone here doesn't need reminding about this, but for the sake of these dimwits in academia, maybe a little brushing up on the one, true law needs to be brought forth.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and the entire 18th chapter of Leviticus can pretty much clear up ANY confusion ya'll are having about this subject.
It's patently clear that Massachusetts public education is not concerned one damn bit about doing their primary job — EDUCATING, but rather furthering an agenda of social engineering that utterly twists and warps the Judeo-Christian beginnings of this nation. Hell, these folks are not only throwing all that out the window they're also saying "we're gonna do whatever the fuck we want with your kids and you parents ain't got shit for say so about it."
I'm quite certain that the original Pilgrims who landed there on Mayflower Rock are ready to jump out of their graves and start screaming "Just WHAT THE HELL are you doing?"
All I got left to say is O-M-F-G!

Thanks for your feedback!
Loved itI LOVED this book! From the storyline, to the characters, setting, writing and pace it was fantastic. I couldn't put it down and there isn't one thing I would change. It's a sweet second chance romance with a few sexy times thrown in to make things fun and interesting. The chemistry and attraction between Liam and Kate was apparent and you couldn't help hoping things would work out for them even when timing once again seems to be against them. I'm very excited to see this new series start off with such a bang and I can't wait to read more about these fantastic characters. I highly recommend this one!by Bette on April 12, 2016

Great start to a wonderful new seriesOh, what a sweet book this is. I enjoyed every word of it. From beginning to end the story held on to me by my heartstrings. I just did not want to put it down Liam O'Donnell is living with the ghosts of his past and they pretty much control his love life. Even though he had lost the only woman that he may have ever loved, he's pretty sure that he's saved himself a world of pain. Kate Hadley is a fighter, determined to make her way in the world. She's tough, works hard and has a heart of gold. So when her ticket to success involved working with her ex she's going to suck it up and make it work, Living in such close quarters rekindles old flames. But the problems that kept them apart in the first place are still there along with a whole host of new ones. I'm going to stop right here because any more would mean spoilers. So get your copy and dive into The Bouys for a whirlwind romance of a lifetime. ARC provided in exchange for an honest reviewby Ash P Reads on April 12, 2016

LOVE!!!!I enjoyed every moment I spent with this book, the story is fun, with subtle humor and banter between the brothers, it has high emotions, without being filled with angst and despair, it has sweet, adorable, yet very passionate romance, that made me sigh. And in a great balance and lovely flow, no less. I loved the determination, focus, and dedication the group had, to fix the resort back to what it can be. The hard work, the sweat, and the blood, it was all towards the greater goal, to restore their family's legacy. I was prepared to all fun and romance, then it hits with the brother's childhood drama, and tragedy. Liam has to go deep, to find acceptance to the past, forgiveness, and move on. It was raw, yet beautiful. Liam and Kate, There was something very much 'easy' between them. No high drama, no screaming, fighting, accusations. Even though their past could warranty all that, they took the high road, and I loved it! They talk, they share, they become friends while working together. And they work well together, they have a rhythm that compliments each other, a connection that makes them understand each other, and attraction that makes them want to consume each other at ones. I savored the story, I didn't want to depart from the characters, they are so easy to relate to and fun to be around. There's baseball, the good and the bad side of it. Fishing, brothers who fight, but stand up for each other, whales, hard work, and pain, and lust filled adoration and ardor between Liam and Kate... I'm eagerly waiting for the next story in the series, cause this one is a home run! ~ Five Spoonsby Books & Spoons on April 24, 2016

Looks like another great series!Off The Hook by Laura Drewry Fishing for Trouble #1 Release date: April 12 2016 4.5 Stars I have enjoyed every book I've read by Laura Drewry, and this one is no different! Liam and Kate were a cute couple. Liam seemed like he had matured a bit since he and Kate had parted in Vegas. He had his mind set on his goal and worked hard to get what he wanted. Kate was a forgiving and trusting girl, but stood up for what she believed in. I kinda wish I got a few more glimpses of their time in Vegas together.. as I am sure that "crazy attraction" would have only added to their chemistry. I loved seeing the little extra details of the characters, - the songs that Liam whistles/sings, the books Jessie reads etc. it just made me feel closer to them. I had some good chuckles, and some great *sigh worthy* moments. The baseball practice was funny and the bit at the very end was awesome! The O'Donnell boys are a rowdy bunch when together and Jessie is a wonderful character as well… I secretly hope she gets together with Finn or Ro.. but at the same time, if she met someone outside the O'Donnells … that would hopefully just result in one more book for me to read! This is the first book in what seems to be a promising series! I can't wait for the rest! *I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*by Crazybooknerd on March 08, 2016

It Hooked Me!!!Off the Hook by Laura Drewry....I enjoyed this great story so much, the storyline was awesome. Second chance romance is always a favorite for me. The characters are so likeable and I love seeing the story unfold between Liam and Kate. If you enjoy Jill Shalvis books, then you will want to read this book or any by Laura Drewry. I received a complimentary copy of this book by publisher via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.by Rhonda on April 12, 2016

I really like your frames on these square photos, Steve. Do you just have a single file that you overlay over each one?
beautiful! love the background too.
+Matt Soave Thanks Matt. short answer no.
Longer answer: Until a couple of weeks back I would never even use a vignette let alone a virtual frame. I was a purist I'm afraid but I found that certain images need a boundary on white web pages but while I begrudgingly accept the need I wanted the framing to be specific to the image i.e. be done mindfully and not just slapped on out of habit (guess that makes me a semi-purist now). In the case of this image, if it wasn't for the blown out sky I probably wouldn't have framed it at all.
I've also only just started using a square format (late to that particular party I know) mainly with the intention of deepening my knowledge of composition and have found that getting a square image to work without a frame is really hard. My hunch is that the long sides of a rectangle act as a constraint, holding the image in so to speak. With a square there is obviously no long edge to tighten them up.
Apologies for the long winded response :)
+buda buda Thanks! I really never expected this to be a keeper – I shot it last night after sunset but the background surprised me so I edited it. The bokeh made a very non-descript treeline a bit interesting.
I really like it! beautiful++
I like the theme . . . I can feel the chill in the air . . .
I really like this!!
+buda buda +Julie Stropp Thanks :)

On the planner's loss due to lack of information in bayesian mechanism design
In this paper we study a large class of resource allocation problems with an important complication, the utilization cost of a given resource is private information of a profit maximizing agent. After reviewing the characterization of the optimal bayesian mechanism, we study the informational cost introduced by the presence of private information. Our main result is to provide an upper bound for the ratio between the cost under asymmetric information and the cost of a fully informed designer, which is independent of the combinatorial nature of the problem and tight. We also show that this bound holds for a variation of the Vickrey-Clark-Groves mechanism. Finally we point out implementation issues of the optimal mechanism.

Target: Quentin Tarantino
Goal: Defend Quentin Tarantino for protesting and speaking out against the police brutality that has claimed dozens of lives this year alone.
Famous director Quentin Tarantino recently attended an anti-police brutality protest in New York and spoke out against the recent wrongs that have been committed by police against unarmed civilians. Now, police unions in New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and New Jersey are calling for a boycott of Tarantino's films and say the director is a "cop hater."
At the protest, Tarantino said, "I am here because I am a human being with a conscience. And when I see murder, I cannot stand by and I have to call the murdered the murdered and the murderers the murderers."
Police took this as Tarantino calling all police murderers, when nowhere in his statement was that said. There has been a new case practically every week where a police officer in the U.S. shoots and kills unarmed civilians. Even when those cases are caught on video and the civilian is shown to have done nothing wrong, or when a police officer is caught in a lie about what happened, these officers often walk free despite the fact that they did in fact murder someone.
Quentin Tarantino's words are being twisted and police unions are now taking a mafia-like approach in an attempt to tear him down. Defend Tarantino for protesting and speaking out against wrongful police brutality.
Dear Mr. Tarantino,
As a famous director, your words hold a lot of weight. That's why it's such a positive thing that you recently attended a protest against police brutality and spoke out against the injustices that are happening to unarmed civilians killed by police across the country, especially black civilians.
This fight is a long road that needs as much support as it can get. That's why police unions feel so threatened when a person of power such as yourself helps bring a voice to those who are often left out of the conversation. I support your words, and you should be defended against these wrongful attacks where unions are putting words in your mouth.

The NHS Breast Screening Programme screens around 1.6 million women annually. A mammogram (X-ray of the breast) is taken with the aim of discovering cancer at an early stage, saving an estimated 1,400 lives a year.
The plastic paddle used to apply pressure to the breast during a mammogram must be completely still or blurring of the image can occur, which may cause some women to be called back for a second time. This is undesirable because the women may feel discomfort and anxiety, a second dose of radiation is required and the NHS must fund the additional cost.
As only very slight movements in the paddle may cause blurred images, the University's Professor Peter Hogg and consultant radiographer Judith Kelly of Chester Breast Imaging Unit enlisted the help of engineering students Gary McGeever and Carl Wilcock to explore possible solutions.
The students set their minds to the problem, designing motion detectors which can measure any movement in the paddle. Their ideas became reality when the specialist engineering company Mass Measuring Ltd built the instruments at no charge to the University.
Professor Hogg and Chester Breast Screening are now using the equipment to determine how factors such as speed, the application of pressure and thickness of the breast affect how the paddle works and whether it moves.
The results are likely to be used to produce the first set of precise technical guidelines for radiographers which will minimise paddle movement and reduce repeat mammograms.
Professor Peter Hogg of the School of Health Sciences said: "Salford is the only university in the UK which is researching the problem of image blurring. There is a very successful breast screening programme in this country but I believe it is possible to develop it even further. By working with Mass Measuring Ltd and Chester Breast Screening, our research has brought together the expertise to make this happen."
Judith Kelly of Chester Breast Screening at the Countess of Chester Hospital said: "As someone who reports mammograms looking for cancerous abnormalities, the quality of the image is of great importance to me. Blurred images can be a problem, so we're very excited about this research. We're also grateful to the University of Salford for the interest and enthusiasm shown in initiating the project."
Tony McGeever, Managing Director of Mass Measuring Ltd, said: "We are particularly pleased to be actively involved in this research. With our expertise in volumetrics and pressures, we hope we can further contribute to the project and help boost the success of the UK's breast screening programme as a result."
The University has received £1,000 from Chester Breast Screening and another £1,000 from Symposium Mammographicum towards the project.

How to align spinner with checklist itemsAsked by crbilunka on October 21, 2015 at 03:43 PM
Hi there. I'm attaching the link to the form I'm working on. This is mean to be a basic order form (I couldn't find any templates that matched what I need). I need a spinner box added to each item so that the user can add their own quantity. I'm having difficulty aligning them. I would like some uniformity and presentation. On some of the items, when I try to align the spinner right, it bumps down to the next line. Could you help, please?
You can add this css code to your form:
.form-line.form-line-column.form-col-1 {
width : 260px;
margin-left : 158px;
.form-line.form-line-column.form-col-2 {
padding-left : 5px;
Or you can clone the demo form:

Keggy the Keg is the unofficial mascot of Dartmouth College.
From Eight Mascots that Need to Die comes this comment, describing Keggy's creation:
My freshman year roommate at Dartmouth, Chris Plehal, was one of the two guys that came up with Keggy the Keg (the other was Nick Duquette). What's important about Keggy is not so much that he's a giant beer or that he filled the void of a humanoid mascot at football games, it's that he represented a giant "Fuck you!" to the Dartmouth administration. Kegs are banned at Dartmouth unless you register them way in advance. It's a huge pain, it sucks for the environment (we drink a LOT of cans and none of the frats try very hard to recycle) and most importantly, it's an infringement on our freedom of beverage container choice for no apparent reason. Keggy represents getting 'faced, having fun and rooting for the Big Green, but more importantly, he represents a group of kids who got together and decided to make an administration-headed movement to choose a new mascot (of which the Mountaineers and Wildcats were choices... hi, WVU and Arizona!) into a complete joke. The administration that took our kegs and tried to cut the entire swim team over Thanksgiving break tried to throw us a bone by letting us choose the next mascot and Keggy turned the whole shabang into a giant shitburger for them to choke on. Any time students can stick it to an administration that is trying to get them to have less fun by limiting their beer flow or fucking over their student-athletes (these weren't jocks, these were smart kids who also swam) it's a good thing.

Jake Rosholt is a three-time NCAA National Champion as well as a 4-time All-American. He is also a member of Team Takedown, a camp that consists of Jake, his younger brother Jared, Johny Hendricks and Shane Roller. Not coincidentally all of these fighters also attended Oklahoma State University. Rosholt had a brief run in the UFC in 2009 going just 1-2 in his three fights with the organization.
Since his release Rosholt has gone 6-2-1 and will be facing the toughest test of his career on September 21 when he meets former UFC welterweight Anthony Johnson. The two will fight in the main event for Xtreme Fight League 9 in Oklahoma. The organization went all out for their 300th show which will also feature fellow OSU wrestler Randy Couture as a special guest.
Rosholt recently joined BJPenn.Com Radio and spoke about the challenge that lies in front of him. Johnson seems to be happy at 205 and Rosholt is looking forward to facing him in a bout that could see the winner back in the UFC.
"I think he's a great fighter and I'm real excited for it," Rosholt told BJPenn.Com Radio. "This is the toughest guy I have ever faced in my career as far as I'm concerned. I'm ready for a tough fight; I have a lot of respect for his credentials and his ability. I'm ready for a battle. I believe Johnson is one of the best light heavyweights in the world and I think it's going to be a great fight."
"I saw his debut at 205 and I thought he looked good. He came out aggressive and pretty much dominated the whole fight. I think his opponent was a bit subpar and not really on his level, but this is MMA and anything can happen. Sometimes those are the toughest fights so you need to be on your toes."
Rosholt lost his own debut as a light heavyweight to Matt Thompson in June, but this is the weight where he believes he will be most successful and will allow his body to perform at its' best.
"I'm going to stay and fight at 205, it was really hard for me to make 185," Rosholt admitted. "I couldn't recover and fight at 100%. I wrestled at 184lbs my first couple years in college and moved up to 197lbs for my junior and senior year. That was in 2004 and when I began competing in MMA I figured I'd be alright once I rehydrated so I dropped back down to 185. It was taking too much of a toll on my body and I may not be the biggest light heavyweight out there, but it's a much more natural weight for me."
Fighting for the UFC is the goal of all mixed martial artists and once you have gotten a taste of the big time, it's only natural to want to get back there as soon as possible. A win over Johnson will almost certainly attract the UFC's attention, but for now Rosholt isn't worried about that, he's focused on the task he has in front of him.
"I haven't had any contact with the UFC personally, I know my manger talks to Joe Silva because of Hendricks and Roller," said Rosholt. "Honestly I'm not worried about that at all right now; I'm worried about this fight with Johnson. I want to go out there and put on the best performance of my life and have a phenomenal fight. All that stuff will work itself out in due time and I know I'll be back there fighting the best guys in the world when it's all said and done with. This fight with Johnson will be one of the better fights outside of the UFC that anyone will see this year."
With UFC 152 fast approaching we wanted to get Rosholt's opinions on the three big fights that occupy the top of the card. First you have Jon Jones defending his light heavyweight crown against Vitor Belfort. In a battle to become the first ever UFC Flyweight Champion, Joseph Benavidez will take on Demetrious Johnson and last, but not least, Michael Bisping will face Brian Stann.
"I think Jones will win, Vitor has the power and is athletic enough to make it interesting, but my vote is with Jones," offered Rosholt. "Benavidez goes hard and has a lot of good skills as does Mighty Mouse. That should be an action packed fight and highly entertaining. I'd be surprised if it's not a decision. Stann and Bisping is a bout I am very interested in, I think it'll be a really good fight. A lot of people hate Bisping, but he's tough. His stand-up is very good and crisp and he can get in and out very well. Stann has those heavy hands and may have a little wrestling in his back pocket. I don't know who to pick in that one."
Johny Hendricks is not only an OSU and TTD brother he is a good friend of Rosholt's. All that stands in the way of Hendricks earning a shot at the UFC welterweight title is Martin Kampmann. The two will face off at UFC 154 in November. Rosholt admits he is biased, but in his heart of hearts he truly believes Hendricks will walk out of that bout the new number one contender.
"Obviously I think Johny is going to win, but it'll be a great fight," Rosholt said. "I really like Kampmann and I think he's tough and very durable. He's shown just how tough he is in his last few outings. Johny has some serious power in his hands and if gets a hold of Kampmann he's going to hurt him. Hendricks is a well rounded fighter and I have to give him the edge in this fight."
Jared is four years younger than Jake and recently suffered his first career loss last month. It wasn't easy for Jake to watch his little brother lose, but in the end he knows it will be a valuable lesson for his little brother.
"He's got a ton of talent and a ton of potential," assessed Rosholt. "He's still developing and is young in this sport. Obviously losing is never fun especially your first one. Your ego takes a big hit and I know how it feels personally, his ego took quite a shot, but it woke him up. It opened his eyes a little bit and made him realize he can be beat. He knows he needs to go in there with the right tenacity and motivation every time. He's going to learn a lot from this loss and it'll make him a better fighter down the road."
We asked Rosholt the same question we presented to Beltran. Would it make sense for the UFC to have a third fighter preparing to fight in case one of the main event fighters got hurt? His answer was the complete opposite of the one Beltran gave us.
"I don't think it's a good idea, it's a crappy situation for the guy on the side," said the 30-year-old Rosholt. "If someone gets hurt and he gets to fight then yeah it works out for him, but how does it work for all involved? Do they have to prepare for two different opponents? If no one gets injured you have the guy on the side that just went through a full training camp and now he has a big letdown. They can't just give him another fight and have him train for 16 straight weeks. Most people have a science to making their body and their mind peak to get ready for a fight.
"Altering that process can hinder a lot of people's performance. I don't think it's an option at all; injuries are part of this sport. It sucks, but I don't think we'll see a cancellation like we saw with UFC 151. You'll see guys like Anderson Silva and Stephan Bonnar step up and fight. They'll put on a show and fans will either be happy or they will complain. Fans will always find something to complain about, it's just like anything you can't make everyone happy. You can't stop the injuries, you have to train hard it's just the nature of the beast."Tags: Anderson Silva, Anthony Johnson, BJPennDotCom Radio, Brian Stann, Demetrious Johnson, jake rosholt, jared rosholt, johny hendricks, jon jones, Joseph Benavidez, martin kampmann, Michael Bisping, randy couture, Stephan Bonnar, team takedown, UFC 151, UFC 152

Three different physicians will evaluate Tom Benson's mental health to see if he is still fit to make business decisions about the Saints, Pelicans and other assets in his business empire, a judge ordered Tuesday.
Benson, feuding with the relatives he has decided to cut out of his succession plans, was resisting the idea of an independent evaluation. He said he was willing to meet privately with Civil District Court Judge Kern Reese, but he argued that a psychiatric exam was too intrusive.
After a hearing of about 90 minutes on Tuesday morning, Reese decided that Benson will have to undergo the evaluation after all if he wants to kill the lawsuit challenging his new succession plans, which call for eventually handing control of his sports franchises to his wife Gayle.
Reese did reject the particular evaluation called for by psychiatrist Ted Bloch III, who was proposed by Benson's estranged relatives. The judge said that exam would be too invasive — it involved performing extensive questioning, blood work and neuropsychological testing over the course of several days.
Instead, Reese said that Benson would undergo a standard exam used in these types of cases. Bloch and two other physicians — one chosen by Benson's lawyers and another chosen jointly by that doctor and Bloch — will have until March 13 to complete their reports. The three-physician team must be assembled by Feb. 25, Reese said.
Still, the ruling was a clear victory for Benson's daughter, Renee, and his grandchildren Rita LeBlanc and Ryan LeBlanc. It means there is a chance that Benson could be declared unfit to make the kind of drastic decision he did last month, severing all contact with Renee, Rita and Ryan, and cutting them out as his heirs.
Benson's lawyer, Phillip Wittmann, said he was disappointed with the ruling and may ask the 4th Circuit Court of Appeal to review it. But Wittmann said he was confident that a standard evaluation would vindicate the stance Benson has taken all along: that he remains perfectly capable of making sound decisions about the various businesses he owns in Louisiana and Texas.
Wittmann went into Tuesday's hearing hoping to convince Reese to throw out the lawsuit altogether. Benson's side argued that his relatives lack a legal basis to dispute whether the 87-year-old family patriarch was acting reasonably and deliberately when he altered his succession plan.
Benson has justified the switch by saying that he has lost faith in the professional competence of his former heirs, and by citing what he perceived to be their poor treatment of Gayle, his third wife.
In their lawsuit, Renee, Ryan and Rita say Tom Benson has been unduly influenced while in a weakened mental and physical state. Represented by Randy Smith and Stephen Gelé, they requested in writing that Reese make Benson demonstrate why he should not be examined by Bloch.
In court on Tuesday, in objecting to what Benson's relatives sought, Wittmann argued that Renee, Rita and Ryan wanted a psychiatric exam authorized to go on "a fishing expedition" and "a shotgun search" for any potential health issue that may hurt the position of the Saints and Pelicans owner. Wittmann also said their efforts to sue Benson were improper given that his client has never ceded a controlling share of his businesses to anyone.
"He's entitled to change his mind," Wittmann said. "And he doesn't need to explain why."
Wittmann also argued that Louisiana law had a clear hierarchy about who would make decisions on behalf of people who are incapable of doing so for themselves. In Benson's case, sitting atop that hierarchy would be Saints and Pelicans President Dennis Lauscha and Gayle. That's because Benson gave Lauscha and Gayle — his wife — medical and business power of attorney in January.
Daughter Renee would be under Lauscha and Gayle for those reasons under normal circumstances, but she would be disqualified because she is an adverse party in a lawsuit against Benson, Wittmann said in court.
Smith countered that Benson's actions should not strike anyone as reasonable or deliberate. He detailed how Benson, Renee, Rita and Ryan had all coped with various tragedies together. Among them were the deaths of Tom Benson's first two wives as well as two of Renee's siblings. Benson and his relatives had all worked together for years, and the deterioration of their relationship as well as their dismissal as employees coincided with the patriarch's having more frequent memory and physical problems, Smith argued.
After Tuesday's hearing, Smith said he was "delighted" with Reese's decision. He had argued that medical exams were proper in the kind of proceeding involving Benson.
Tuesday's hearing followed a Texas judge's order that ex-San Antonio mayor Phil Hardberger and local attorney Art Bayern jointly take over the decision-making of a trust set up to benefit Renee and her children for at least the time being. Benson had been the steward of the trust, and the order from Bexar County Probate Court Judge Tom Rickhoff came after he was asked to address a temporary restraining order that had been put in place to prevent Benson from taking further action to remove business assets from the trust.
Smith attempted to introduce Rickhoff's order as evidence that there was valid concern about Benson's ability to tend to his business matters, but Reese did not allow that, saying it was not relevant to the issues being argued in New Orleans.
No one from the Benson family attended Tuesday's hearing.

Unchalli Falls is renowned among the natives as Keppa Jog, which literally means 'deafening'. Originating from the Aghanashini River, this waterfall is at a height of 381 feet (116 meters). The stream originating from Shankarathirtha in Sirsi joins Manjaguni stream to form the Aghanashini River. It can be visited at any time of the year and offers an excellent view of the surrounding vegetation and water falling down rocky slopes.
