Jesus Christ on a stick. What a dumfuck bigot. Bradlee Dean. He's the one that high school students had to listen to at an assembly. He founded the hate group "You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International" Quoting him, "The Muslims are calling for the execution of homosexuals in America. They themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of of Judeo-Christian God. But they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do, because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know homosexuality is an abomination. If Americans won't enforce the laws, God will raise a foreign enemy to do just that." He's also a disingenuous coward, trying to weasel out of this statement without stating it's not what he's wanting. Not to mention he needs some English lessons.
Dean's a FOB (Friend of Bachmann). About him, she said: "They're way on course. Because they get it. They get what this is all about."
This country is a pathetic place sometimes.

Yes, I get annoyed when people get upset that others are better Muslims than they are Christians.
Followers of these religions are only tolerable when they ignore their own holy books.
Amazing how dependent these types are on bigotry and homophobia to keep their BS alive.
Unfortunately in this case the dumfuck defines "better muslim" as one who kills gay people. Why cant people like him just go back to something they do well. Oh.... maybe there's nothing they do well.
The comments section of the article were pretty brutal on this guy - and, I would add, deservedly so. One in particular.
"He has a right to his opinion, but that doesn't mean that I hope he wears a hoodie in the rain when Zimmerman is on duty!"
Well, hope springs eternal. - Me.

PEOPLE in Darwen can receive next-generation broadband after an iconic chimney was transformed into a giant antenna.
Internet firm 6G has joined forces with Pro Light Concepts by using the chimney tower at its Olive Lane base to deliver superfast broadband to homes and businesses in the area.
It is the first transmission site of its kind in Darwen with more set to be secured, said bosses at the firm.
Unlike traditional internet providers, 6G uses air fibre technology instead of underground cables to deliver its broadband service through the air.
Using tall buildings as transmission sites, 6G said it could provide speeds in excess of 100Mbps, where the average speed in Blackburn and Darwen was between two and 5Mbps to residents and businesses.
Linda Szafar, enterprise relationship manager at 6G, said: "We are really excited about this link-up with Pro Light and the prospect of delivering low-cost superfast broadband to Darwen. We believe we can assist in regenerating the town because fast connectivity is a big attraction for businesses looking to move into the area."
Mayor of Darwen Town Council Trevor Maxfield performed the official 'switch-on' to launch the link-up.
He said: "It is great to see two East Lancashire businesses working together on a project that will benefit the whole community."
Pro Light provides lighting and sound systems for nightclubs, theatres, hotels and public buildings in the UK and abroad.
MD Andrew Jeffrey said: "As a business we have suffered from really slow internet speeds over the past 10 years so the arrival of 6G is a major boost for us and the rest of the Darwen business community.
"We can have 10 to 12 members of staff using the internet at any one time while they are talking to customers on the phone.
"They might need to download a manual to give customers advice but that used to take an age under the old system as we were typically getting speeds of 6mbps or slower.
"Now we are getting 30mbps which has speeded up our entire operation."

Former England rugby captain Lewis Moody has been forced to pull out of a charity trek due to frostbite.
The Bradford on Avon-based former Bath and Leicester player was three days into the eight day Yukon Arctic Ultra Marathon when the temperature had dropped to minus 35 degrees Celsius and he began to lose sensation in his finger.
Despite having covered 85 miles in the first two days, competition rules state that any frostbitten competitor must be removed from the race.
Mr Moody, 34, said: 'I am obviously absolutely gutted. This was my greatest challenge and to be forced to withdraw is shattering.
"An injury like this in the Yukon is very different to those you would experience on a rugby pitch, the elements are brutally unpredictable and you are a prisoner to whatever it throws at you."
The retired rugby star was raising money for HOPEHIV and was trekking as a team with the charity's founder Phil Wall, and polar explorer Alan Chambers MBE FRGS, who also had to step out of the challenge.
Mr Wall said: "I am gutted for Lewis who had, as he always does, been competing with characteristic passion and determination.
"Even after pulling out from the race he donated his own shoes to a fellow competitor who was struggling with his own damaged footwear."

In this post we'll be making a traditional New Mexico green chile sauce and take a look at several recipes that use either use the sauce or that use chopped green chile peppers. New Mexico green chile is called by many names – New Mexico chile, Hatch, Big Jim, Rio Grande and Sandia – to name a few. Unlike poblano and jalapeno, New Mexico green chile has a tough skin; therefore, it is best when roasted and peeled. The resulting roasted chile is remarkable! If you missed my Red or Green? post, check it out to see how chile is roasted.
The whole roasted chile can be stuffed with cheese, dipped in a batter and then fried for chile rellenos. Once fried, one could smother the rellenos with more green chile sauce or red chile, or both. The roasted chiles can also be chopped and used for green chile sauce, green chile stew, salsa, just a bowl of green chile, and many, many more dishes. Last week I shared with you my red chile sauce, so this week I'm sharing my recipe for New Mexico Green Chile Sauce.
New Mexico Green Chile Sauce Recipe
The is MJ's adaptation of New Mexico Green chile sauce.
Yields 3 to 4 cups of chile sauce
Prep and Cook Time: less than 30 minutes
½ – 1 tsp. cumin / coriander spice mix*(to taste)
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 large cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. flour
2 cups water or chicken stock
2 cups roasted, peeled, deseeded, and chopped green chile
1 tsp. dried oregano
½ tsp. salt or to taste
*If you only have powdered spices, then lightly toast them and add to the sauce.
- In a heavy saucepan, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion and the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the onion is soft.
- Add the flour and stir to incorporate the flour into the oil and to coat the onion.
- Slowly stir in 1 cup of water to blend the water with the flour and to prevent lumping. Add the rest of the water, the chile, cumin/coriander spice mix, oregano, and 1/2 tsp. salt.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat for a low simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Use immediately or within 3 to 4 days. Freeze after that. It freezes quite well!
Just in case you're wondering – what is the red ingredient? when looking at the picture – it's roasted red chile. When you buy a bushel or bag of chile there are usually a few red chiles as well so the result is roasted Christmas. It's makes a pretty sauce, doesn't it?
Kitchen Notes
Freezing Green Chile Sauce – Green chile sauce can easily be frozen in freezer safe containers and where it keeps well for up to 6 months.
Canning Green Chile Sauce – New Mexico State University provides a detailed process for canning green chile. Click here for Canning Green Chile Sauce. (This link is a pdf.)
Green Chile Tomatillo Sauce – This recipe can easily be turned into a Green chile Tomatillo sauce. I usually use tomatillos when the chile I have is really hot or the guests I'm serving can't handle the heat. The tomatillos do change the flavor of the sauce "some", but I love it just as much as a straight green chile sauce!
Is your chile too hot? – When you buy New Mexico chile it is hard to guarantee that, if you buy medium, that it's going to be medium. I've bought mild before only to find a few hot chiles mixed in. So if you find your chile to be too hot, here are a few ways to tone it down a bit. Mix in a few chopped or blended tomatillos, add more onion, add some roasted sweet peppers, or, if it's just "a bit" too hot, add honey. When you add the honey, add it 1 tsp. at a time, taste and add more if needed, but stop before it gets too sweet. I never add more than 1 Tbsp.
Dishes with green chile sauce
Smother your favorite burrito, enchiladas, stuffed sopapilla, tamale, or rellenos with chile sauce.
Add sauce to soups, stews, a bowl of beans, or posole'. I love making a pot of pintos or black beans and topping with green chile sauce!
Pour over eggs, cornbread (for a little southern-southwest fusion), chicken, a steak, or pork.
Braise chicken, beef, or pork in a pot of green chile sauce.
Stacked Crepes with Red and Green Chile (Christmas Pathiri)
Dishes with chopped green chile
More ways to use chopped green chile:
Eggs and potatoes fixed 101 ways
Breads, cornbread (green chile cornbread – YUM!)
Empanadas, meat pies, tacos, tostados, Chile con queso, mole, salsa
The ultimate green chile cheese burger! If you serve a burger in New Mexico, you better offer it with green chile.
And the list goes on and on and on!

text: The CSI Effect: Exposing Myths of Fictional Criminal Justice Careers July 05, 2013 Criminal Justice, Professional Development By Richard Holloway, J.D., Program Director of Criminal Justice There is a seemingly unlimited supply of crime shows today. Whatever your tastes, you can probably find a show to suit them. But for some reason, unlike with other genres, it seems as if the average viewer – including many prospective Criminal Justice (CJ) students – believes everything he or she sees on crime shows. In CJ Education, we call this the CSI effect. While I personally love the series (and if I had to choose, "CSI: Miami" would be my favorite), I know that it doesn't accurately reflect reality. So my message to prospective students (and to potential jurors as well) is not to be disappointed when you're forced to deal with real-life crime. The typical crime drama wraps up in one hour what can actually take days, weeks, months or even years to accomplish. The wheels of justice on television move at nearly the speed of light. Crime scenes are processed within minutes, with detailed theories about the crime developed on the spot. Key witnesses either come forward voluntarily or are found in the nick of time. Evidence is analyzed quickly, and DNA and fingerprint matches take only as long as a quick push of the "Enter" button on a high-tech computer system. Every television-based agency has the latest in 22nd-century technology with little regard for realistic government budgets. That's fine for television, but in real life most agencies can't afford wall-size LED screens attached to SMART Boards where investigators effortlessly swipe documents and pictures around with instant access to every traffic and private surveillance camera in the area. Last gripe: On the show, the crime-scene investigator gets a call, shows up on the scene, gets briefed on the crime, joins the team searching for evidence, finds the key piece of evidence that will solve the case, takes that evidence back to the lab, dons a lab coat, analyzes the critical evidence, determines the identity of the criminal mastermind and then goes out to make the arrest. After a car chase followed by a shootout and/or fistfight, she makes the arrest and then testifies flawlessly in court (describing a high-tech animation she created for the trial). That one character on television assumed the duties of about eight to 10 different people in real life – and a few that don't even exist. So what's wrong with "CSI" and other crime shows? Nothing, if you need entertainment - but if you're looking for reality, everything. Unfortunately, many potential jurors expect the high-tech displays that most cities and counties can't afford – and many prospective students expect the same. Every session, dozens of students tell me they want to be a crime-scene investigator, but when I ask why, most can't answer. I suspect it's because the majority don't want to say it's because of what they've seen on television. Whatever the motivation, though, if you're thinking about investing money, time and effort in pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice, you owe it to yourself to find out the truth about the career path you're considering. You need to know what professionals in that job do on a day-to-day basis, so you can determine if it fits your strengths, interests and career goals. Prospective CJ students, get the truth before you begin. It will only improve your chances of success.

On Thursday, I posted this blog about a bit on the Bo & Jim morning show on Lone Star 92.5 FM, in which the morning show hosts "discussed" this recent news story about a transgender 7-year-old in Colorado, born biologically male, who was rejected when she tried to join the Girl Scouts. (The Girl Scouts later reversed that decision, saying the worker who rejected the child did not understand the organization's policies.)
Bo and Jim decided to make a joke out of this child's situation, actually laughing as they joked about the child getting beaten up.
After I posted the blog, I got an email from trans activist Autumn Sandeen of San Diego, who had worked with Kim Pearson, executive director of TransYouth Family Allies, to address a similar situation that occurred with radio DJs in Sacramento. Autumn is looking for other people who may have heard the comments by Bo and Jim (they don't post audio of their show online), and for a list of advertisers on the Bo and Jim show. That's information, she said, that's necessary to respond effectively.
So if anybody else out there was listening to Lone Star 92.5 on Thursday morning and heard the comments in question, or if any of you know who might be advertising on that program, let us know. You can leave a message here on this post, or send me an email here at email@example.com.

WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. - Well-known restaurateur Manuel Garcia was retrieving his newspaper outside his upscale Winter Springs home Monday morning when he was forced back inside by two masked gunmen who robbed him, according to police.
The robbery occurred around 6:30 a.m. at a home on Tuskawilla Trail near Tuskawilla Road.
According to Winter Springs police, two men wearing black clothing and masks stole about $350 in cash and jewelry from the home.
Garcia's wife calmly called 911 after the robbery.
"They said, 'Just follow me and everything's going to be alright.' They wanted to know where our safe was. They wanted to know where our jewelry was," she said.
The couple was held at gunpoint in their bathroom while the men robbed them.
"We haven't been downstairs yet. I'm afraid to go downstairs. We locked ourselves in our bathroom in the bedroom," she said.
Police believe the men then ran away through the woods. Police say there may have been a getaway vehicle near Cherry Choke Drive.
Garcia and his wife were not injured in the incident, police said.
A detailed description of the assailants has not been released.

Animal agriculture is under a terrible assault by animal rightists. "You are depicted as cruel, abusers, anti-animal and enemies of decency and humane care," said Wesley J. Smith, acclaimed author and senior fellow in human rights and bioethics at the Discovery Institute. "You are not dealing with people who want to reach accommodation with animal husbandry and its practices. We are not dealing with an animal welfare movement. Animal rights is not animal welfare."
Smith, speaking at the 2010 Animal Agriculture Alliance meeting in
"Animal rights is not about better methods of animal husbandry," he said. "Animal rights is an ideology. It's a dogma and even a quasi-religion for some. It becomes impossible to sit down and work out a reasonable accommodation that will last. Their intent is not that you don't keep chickens in battery cages, their intent is you have not pigs or chickens and there be no domesticated animals.
"They believe animal rights as opposed to animal welfare accept and embrace idea that what is done to an animal is same as done to a human being," Smith added. "They believe cattle ranching is akin to human slavery and just as evil. They don't think you have good intentions or ideals. They think you are evil."
Animal rightists believe human beings and animals have equal moral value, he said. "If you are sentient, an animal, insect or fish, you have a right to not be property which would end animal husbandry."
Smith noted PETA's campaign several years ago targeted to college-age students that displayed photos from
Smith says it's a misanthropic, anti-human view. "There is a great deal of self-loathing in the animal rights movement. The impact on humanity of preventing animal husbandry and domestication of animals would be very harmful."
It's been noted by many the astounding number of products in every day use that come from the by-products of animal production. These go beyond milk, meat and leather to include everyday products such as adhesives, cosmetics, lubricants, food ingredients, industrial products and a variety of medical products. "The efficient use of the cow is something most people aren't aware of," Smith said. "It's impossible to live in today's society without using non-human animals in everything we use. That is a powerful message and it is not getting out."
In an era where everything is based in emotion, there has to be a way to show the adverse impact of suffering on humanity if there was an end to animal agriculture. "We must show the incredible benefit we receive from the proper and humane use of animals," Smith said. "The intent of the animal rights movement is to destroy research, destroy herds and prevent all of us by law to eat meat, have medical research and some would also like an end to pets. It's a subversive, anti-human movement and they don't care about the human harm that will result."
Animals as litigants?
Smith spoke about the current trend in some legal circles of lawyers wanting animals to be able to sue people directly. "This is a big item on the animal rights agenda. HSUS would like to bring the lawsuits on behalf of animals with intent to destroy your business."
He said there have been lawsuits in the name of animals, but most are being thrown out. "Cass Sunstein, the President's regulations czar, has written that he believes animals should be able to sue," Smith said. "So has a Harvard law professor. It's coming in the next 5-10 years."
The animal rights movement has declared war on you, Smith said. "They seek to destroy your work and livelihoods. An attack on one of our groups should be deemed an attack on all. There is no point in sitting down and explaining our business to animal rightists -- they don't care. We do a much better job explaining the great traditions of animal husbandry and care of animals and the tremendous human benefit that would be lost if activists get their way."
You must be proud of what you do, Smith stated. "You bring good wholesome nutritious food to the masses. You have to be sure you maintain proper humane standards. Infiltrators will show anomalies are standard practice. You need to stand up for the person being attacked and start being proud of yourselves again. We are omnivores. Trying to push humankind into an unhealthy vegetarian lifestyle is bad for humankind."

Gang Prevention Status Report Presented to Fairfax County Board of Supervisors

Gang Prevention Status Report Presented to Fairfax County Board of Supervisors
A review of gang prevention efforts in Fairfax County was presented to the Board of Supervisors at its regular meeting today by Gang Prevention Coordinator Robert Bermingham.
The report compared crime figures from 2005 and 2006 and found that in 2006, gang-related crimes had decreased 32 percent from 2005 and at a greater rate than the decrease in overall crime. So far this year, gang-related crime statistics indicate a further downward trend. In addition, the report said that there has been no evident increase in the number of gang members residing in Fairfax County.
"This shows that the Fairfax County approach to gang prevention is really making a difference," said Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly. "The key is that we don't just focus on suppression, but also invest in prevention and intervention efforts to reach our youth before they are drawn into the gang lifestyle. Also, by developing public-private partnerships we can maximize the county's investment into a significant payoff for the community overall."
"When gang prevention was made a priority in Fairfax County, one of the main goals was to establish a comprehensive, collaborative effort within county services and with community stakeholders," said Bermingham. He pointed to five initiatives that either had been established or expanded during the past year:
Middle school after-school program expansion into all 27 middle
schools, which is supported by the county, schools and more than 100
outside organizations and groups.
Road DAWG camp program collaboration between Fairfax County Police
Department and eight other Fairfax County agencies reached more than
100 at-risk youth and parents/guardians. It has been enhanced to
include follow-up during the school year.
Intervention, prevention and education (IPE) program, a collaboration
of the Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force, Fairfax County and
the Center for Multicultural Human Services, provides intervention
services to gang-involved youth, prevention services to siblings, and
educates parents/guardians regarding gangs and available
Gang and Youth Violence Resource and Referral Phone Line 1-866-914-GANG
(4264) was launched this month and is coordinated by the Fairfax County
Department of Systems Management for Human Services and the Fairfax
County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. It is a 24/7
resource and referral phone line where youth, parents/guardians, law
enforcement, community organizations and service providers can obtain
information regarding gang prevention and intervention services.
- Smart Kids/Safe Choices violence/gang prevention program focused on 9-13 year olds and served 524 youth through a partnership of the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board and community and faith-based organizations.
The county's gang prevention effort, "Every Child Is Worth Saving: A Community Partnership," is based on a three-pronged approach — suppression, intervention and prevention. This is from the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Comprehensive Gang Model, which was adopted at the Fairfax County Gang Prevention Summit, Feb. 25, 2005.
The gang prevention presentation was made on behalf of the Fairfax County Coordinating Council for Gang Prevention and the Fairfax County Gang Prevention Steering Committee. The full Fairfax County Gang Prevention Status Report is available at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/gangprevention.

Rehab After Triple Arthrodesis
I had triple arthrodesis in June. Was laid up for 9 weeks, in a cast, with foot propped up on pillows. Had several casts during that time. After the final cast was removed I had developed 2 wounds on the foot. The surgery was performed in Maine, while we were on vacation up there. We then drove back to Florida ( where we live), and I was under the care of a wound specialist down here.
This delayed my rehab on walking, because of where the wounds were located. During the weeks of wound healing I walked around with an aircast boot. At the end of January, the wounds were finally healed, did away with the boot, and am now walking a little. Some days, the pain is bad. Am trying not to depend on pain killers, but some days, I have to take something. My doctor is in Maine and I was never assigned any physical therapy, except to be told to walk every day (heel-toe). I do treadmill about 15 min. a day, and my question is this - when I`m sitting down, is it okay to move my foot in a circular motion, do the alphabet with my foot, do strengthening exercises on my leg, etc. What are the proper exercises following surgery of this magnitude? Would appreciate an answer and thank you for your response.
This is a great question and I am glad you are taking a proactive position in your own care. We all need to move our joints every day and we would stiffen up to the point of not being able to move if we didn?t. This is why you were stiff after coming out of the cast and why your rehabilitation has been delayed due to the continued immobilization caused by your wound care. One of the big reasons that we swell so much when our lower extremities are immobilized is that the major mechanism we have for bringing blood and fluids back to the heart is through the action of the deep muscles in the calf and thigh.
Most airlines have illustrations in their flight magazines showing you how to exercise on route. It only stands to reason that continuing that active motion while resting, reading or watching TV is a good idea. It will do no harm and may help to improve your function. This is especially true before you get out of bed in the morning. A few simple stretches as you described will loosen your joints from the night immobility and may help improve your function. Certainly the type of gentle exercise you described (writing the alphabet with your foot) might be beneficial and I would also recommend talking with a physical therapist who specialized in lower extremity rehabilitation for muscle strengthening work specific to your needs.

text: One ex-jock's 1970 stories that need to be told By Doug Smock November 13, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Craig T. Greenlee was not killed in the 1970 Marshall plane crash for the simplest, least dramatic reason: He lost his passion for football and left the program in 1969.Simple as that, he says. That is why he is not in that portrait of the '70 Thundering Herd, the one in which the players are posed standing up in rows on the Fairfield Stadium turf, a photo so indelibly etched in the minds of thousands of MU alumni and fans everywhere.That is why he is alive, and more than 40 years after that fateful Nov. 14 crash, he has authored "November Ever After: A Memoir of Tragedy and Triumph in the Wake of the 1970 Marshall Football Plane Crash." The book was released last year, but was not well publicized at the time.Whether he wanted to admit it or not, Greenlee was right in the vortex of the crash's emotional aftermath. One-third of the players on the plane came to MU in 1968, as Greenlee did, to help reverse the school's gridiron fortunes.As he tells it, "I'm the only living link with a connection to the Herd's undefeated freshman team of '68, who played in '69 and/or '70, and who also took part in the efforts to keep football on the school's athletic menu."Many of the deceased players were black athletes coming to Huntington from the still-segregated Deep South. Greenlee hailed from Jacksonville, Fla., and had little interaction with whites before making the leap of faith to come to mostly white Marshall to play for coach Perry Moss.That's an angle often underplayed, from my experience. During the run-up to the 2006 movie "We Are Marshall," Young Thundering Herd quarterback Reggie Oliver gave a fascinating recollection of his four teammates from Druid High in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and their emotional joint funeral. Oliver also discussed his decision to stay at MU and finish his Herd career in their honor.Greenlee shares his memories of those four, Freddie Wilson, Larry Sanders, Joe Hood, Robert VanHorn and many other teammates. He tells how Larry Brown helped calm a racially charged brawl that erupted after a intramural football game on that Friday the 13th, and how close the campus was to a full-scale riot.That is a little-known story, but as one might guess, the tragedy defused those tensions. It is instructive or a good reminder - depending on your age - to know what kind of culture shock these athletes faced. For instance, they couldn't find a radio station playing soul music until a strong AM signal from Nashville, Tenn., came through late at night. And they had to get used to being called "boy" - a grave racial insult in the South then, but a more innocuous greeting in West Virginia at the time.Greenlee, a safety, returned to the program in the spring of 1971 and left the team a few weeks before the season opener. He stayed at MU and earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in journalism, and is currently a free-lance writer based in Winston-Salem, N.C.Indeed, Greenlee said the book sprouted from a first-person feature he was invited to write for the Winston-Salem Journal, but was not published. Eventually, he tracked down a number of those deeply involved, from freshman football players to non-football classmates, to the lucky ones not on the trip to girlfriends of crash victims. All these stories grab at you.But the more sobering moments come in Chapter 10, where he tells about those who were unwilling to address the crash for many years - including himself. When people such as Janice Cooley (girlfriend of Art Harris), former cheerleader Debbie (Bailey) Bowen and many others opened up, Greenlee says he repeatedly learned things that had him saying, "I never heard that before."For his part, Greenlee consciously avoided most of the crash coverage in 1970, though he participated in it. (He covered the National Transportation Safety Board's hearing for The Parthenon student newspaper.) He points out something I hadn't considered - there were no grief counselors as we have today, and the term "post traumatic stress" had not been widely coined.A lot of grief and stress was internalized for years. I found the book well written and easy to follow, and I zipped through it in three or four sittings. Upon finishing it, I was amazed, entertained and saddened all at once, but somehow wanting more. Perhaps it's just me - I never go a year without hearing or reading a crash-related story that didn't (a) make my jaw drop, (b) almost make me cry or (c) both.I kind of wish Greenlee would have tapped me on the shoulder a year ago, but that's no problem. Much like other works about the plane crash, this book is timeless.Contact Doug Smock at 304-348-5130 or email@example.com, or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

Sign up for our weekly email * Chesapeake Energy has said that its chief executive Aubrey McClendon will step down on 1 April 2013. McClendon served the company for 24 years. McClendon, also a co-founder of the company, stepped down as chairman in 2012 amid concerns related to undisclosed borrowings. At the same time, Chesapeake appointed Archie Dunham as its new chairman along with four new independent board directors. The company, however, said an "extensive board review" of McClendon's dealings to date has not revealed improper conduct and added that his decision to retire was "not related to the board's pending review of his financing arrangements and other matters". Chesapeake's activist investor, Carl Icahn, in a statement, said: "While it is known that some of these assets will be sold by the company in due course, I do not believe that this will in any way affect the ultimate realisation of Chesapeake's potential. I am confident that history will prove that Aubrey has been correct about the value of natural gas in general and the value of Chesapeake in particular." The company hired Heidrick & Struggles to find a new CEO. McClendon said: "While I have certain philosophical differences with the new board, I look forward to working collaboratively with the company and the board to provide a smooth transition to new leadership." "In many respects, our accomplishments are unique and I will always remain immensely grateful for the time I have spent with you building CHK [Chesapeake] into the industry leader that it is today," McClendon added. Chesapeake's shares grew by 10 per cent to $20.87 in after-hours' trading. Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

HOUSTON - Just hours after Gov. Rick Perry gave his State of the State address Monday, a new poll was released showing the majority of Texas voters don't want him to run for governor again, or seek another presidential bid.
The poll by Public Policy Polling shows 62 percent don't think he should run for reelection. That includes 39 percent of Republicans.
Eighty percent said he should stay out of the 2016 presidential race.
The poll also found Perry's approval rating in Texas to be 41 percent.
Republicans still approve of his work in Austin. Approximately 68 percent approve of the job he's done and say they would likely back him in hypothetical match-ups against top Democrats in the state.

Doctors now believe that low levels of vitamins D and K raise chances of heart disease—factors they had not considered before—and that increasing these two nutrients can help prevent heart disease.
At the recent American Heart Association's Scientific Conference in Orlando, Florida, researchers reported their findings from following more than 27,000 people, aged at least 50, with no history of cardiovascular disease. After one year, compared to those with normal vitamin D levels, those with very low levels of vitamin D—one third of participants—were 77 percent more likely to die, 45 percent more likely to develop coronary artery disease, 78 percent more likely to have a stroke and twice as likely to develop heart failure. Doctors noted that these problems arose even with moderate vitamin D deficiency but expressed hope because it is easy to raise vitamin D levels and to correct deficiency.
The scientists concluded, "When you consider that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in America, you understand how this vitamin D research can help improve the length and quality of people's lives."
Doctors in a vitamin K study explained that the body needs vitamin K to absorb calcium into bone and that, when vitamin K is deficient, calcium instead builds up in and hardens the arteries, leading to coronary heart disease.
Researchers measured the amount of vitamin K in the diets of 564 post-menopausal women and found that those who consumed about 45 mcg per day of vitamin K2 had 20 percent less coronary calcium buildup compared to women who got an average of 18 mcg of vitamin K2 per day.
Researchers said, "This study confirms once again that natural vitamin K2 is clearly linked to prevention of cardiovascular disease," and that, "vitamin K2 is essential to cardiovascular health."

Thought it would be interesting to hear when people first come accross the Dhamma
The first time i came accross them was on the internet one night, i was bored so i decided for some reason to read up on different religions and happened to type in buddhism on wikipedia. When i read those four noble truths something hit me and realised that they some how answered a lot of questions and made a lot of sense. I didnt acctualy start practising buddhism till sometime after. I have a pretty bad period and during that time for some reason those four noble truths came to mind which lead me to seek out a deeper meaning of them. From then on i was a buddhist

Davis gets rare start against righty
DETROIT -- Rajai Davis received a rare start against a right-handed pitcher in Thursday afternoon's game against the Tigers.
Davis is being used almost exclusively against left-handers this season, but he got the call in right field with Doug Fister on the mound for Detroit, batting sixth.
The move was made in part because of Davis' past success against Fister, while also giving Jose Bautista an opportunity to start at designated hitter to avoid aggravating a right ankle injury in the wet conditions at Comerica Park.
"That's one of the reasons, plus Rajai has hit this guy pretty good," manager John Gibbons said. "It kind of solves two things there. It's a little sloppy out there and we can protect [Bautista] a little bit, too."
Davis entered Thursday's game with a career .423 average (11-for-26) with a pair of doubles against Fister. The move immediately paid off, although not quite the way Toronto was expecting.
The 32-year-old Davis was hit by a pitch during the second inning. He promptly stole second base and eventually came around to score on a sacrifice fly by third baseman Mark DeRosa. He also singled in the fourth.
Davis entered the game hitting only .259 versus righties compared to .289 against lefties. That's one of the main reasons he has been used in a platoon role with left-handed-hitter Adam Lind.

1. 'Prime source' of information
Dear Editor,
I will miss the Humboldt Beacon. I started my subscription a year before I moved here many years ago because it was a prime source of local community information. It has continued to provide me and others with vital information that helps keep us connected to what is going on in the Eel River Valley. Franklin Stover has done an amazing job of keeping the paper relevant and informative. I am sad to see it go.
Donald Fregeau, Jr.
2. 'Just one more victim of our economic times'
Dear Editor,
I remember back some 40 years ago, the Humboldt Beacon, which was then owned and edited by Dwight O'Dell, was a Fortuna institution. O'Dell was a well respected newspaperman and he was very much involved in the daily life of Fortuna. I did not always agree with his opinion but respected his position because he always made very solid arguments. He pursued many different avenues as an advocate for Fortuna, from being President of the Highway 36 committee, which is still in existence today, to lobbying many politicians for one cause or another to benefit Fortuna.
Now with one final edition, I am honored that I can include some thoughts regarding the Humboldt Beacon which for me and many people like me, looked forward to reading about what was happening in our city. As everything eventually changes, we have lost many businesses which had been here for many years.
The demise of the Humboldt Beacon is just one more victim of our economic times, but for most of us who have known of the history of our newspaper it is a sad day indeed. I am also saddened for the loss of Franklin Stover who has been a good newspaper editor.
Mike Losey
Fortuna City Councilmember
3. Have subscribed since 1964
Dear Editor,
I was horrified to read the news that the Humboldt Beacon is ending. We have lived in Fortuna since 1964 and have always subscribed to the Beacon. It has been our source of community information. We see local advertising, learn about local events, and read obituaries that are not always in the Times-Standard.
From time to time you have had columns on folks just in the Eel River Valley. We get the news of what is happening in our local congregations and schools. It has been part of our lives for so long, I just can't believe that it is costing the owners that much to publish our weekly paper. It is too bad that decisions are made on economic terms only and not on service or need.
I volunteered to write up Fortuna City Council news when I could, just because I knew that Franklin Stover was stretched to the limit with a small budget and a huge job. I believe that we cannot be good citizens if we are not informed of what is happening in our community. I appreciate having the Times-Standard for county wide news, but it does not have the local flavor of our Beacon. We have lost a real hometown tradition and I think it is a tragedy. 110 years of publishing history is quite remarkable. I am so sorry it is ending.
Sylvia Jutila
4. Thanks for the 'wonderful support'
Dear Editor,
Just to let you know that I am extremely sorry about the loss of the Beacon and all you have done to help get the news out to this community. I have been a subscriber of this paper since moving here in 1957 and I will miss it. Thank you for the wonderful support.
Carol Kinser
5. Thanks to Beacon writers
It is with regret that we say goodbye to the Humboldt Beacon, a valuable resource to all of us here in the Eel River Valley. I would personally like to thank Franklin, Heather and Mary for the excellent job they have done for the Fortuna Volunteer Fire Department. They have always been there to assist us with news stories and announcements, many times at last moments' notice, with reporting that has always proven to be accurate and informative.
I'm really not sure how we will stay in touch with our local community in the future. However, I am sure that it will be much more of a challenge; not only for us but also for the many other service organizations in the Valley that the Beacon has taken such good care of. Like most things in life, you really don't realize what an impact someone or something has on you until you no longer have it available to you. I'm sure the loss of the Humboldt Beacon will be hard on the entire Eel River Valley community.
Lon Winburn
Fire Chief
Fortuna Volunteer Fire Department
6. Feeling 'bummed'
Dear Editor,
I am so bummed to hear the Beacon is going out of business, what a sad state of affairs! I grew up with the Beacon and have enjoyed reading it over the years. The local coverage of all the little towns like Scotia and Rio Dell is not found much in our other newspaper the Times-Standard. Your coverage of local schools and music in our community has been incredible, being a local musician and educator I have really appreciated that.
It is so sad that we keep losing these local businesses. I know that a lot of people who grew up in the Eel River Valley and now live elsewhere have enjoyed reading the Beacon to keep in touch with what is going on in our area.
Thank-you for all your hard work trying to keep it going. I for one do not like change when it is not for the better, so this is another example of one of those changes.

7. Paper loss is sign of the times
Dear Editor,
It will be a sad day for the Eel River Valley when the Humboldt Beacon stops publishing. Weekly newspapers used to be the primary news source for many small communities. They served a great purpose: presenting readers the truly local news and events of the week.
The Humboldt Beacon did this for more than a century and will be greatly missed. Sadly, it is a sign of the times over the U.S. because of the fierce competition from the wide array of competing media sources, including internet-based ones.
Before coming to College of the Redwoods to serve as the college's public relations and marketing director, I worked as a reporter for the Humboldt Beacon for a year. I covered local sports as well as writing news and feature stories.
Since coming to CR, I've appreciated The Beacon publishing so many of the college's press releases, photos and feature stories. Thank you Franklin Stover and previous editors for considering CR news valuable to the community.
I admired former Humboldt Beacon Publisher Patrick O'Dell's dedication to keeping the newspaper that his father had owned alive and thriving for many years. I thank him for giving me a position as a reporter at his family's newspaper. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.
Paul DeMark

8. Arcata Eye publisher comments
Dear Editor,
It's extremely regrettable that Fortuna will no longer have an independent news-gathering agency. I enjoyed my year working at the Beacon following the demise of the Arcata Union.
Social media and blogs aren't going to fill the gap. In the long run, the community will be the worse for it. It will be less self-aware. Its political, business and community leaders will now make decisions largely unchecked by the fourth estate.
My suggestion is that the community do some scoping, identify the writers and editors willing to restore a community newspaper to the area, then make firm commitments for advertising support to make the business sustainable. If it doesn't do this, the time will come when it will wish it had.
Kevin Hoover
editor and publisher

9. 'Local folks' wrote the articles
Dear Editor,
I heard about the closure of the Humboldt Beacon. I appreciate our past communication and enjoyed the journalism the newspaper brought to me. The Humboldt Beacon has represented the personality, values and culture of our local residents for over 100 years. Yes, the articles in each issue of the newspaper kept people aware of local current events. However, it was the local folks who wrote the articles that offered a unique view into the soul of the north coast community. History will note that it truly is a sad day for Humboldt County.
Mike Ringle
10. 'The paper will be missed'
Dear Editor,
The Fortuna Union High School District would like to thank all of the Humboldt Beacon staff for their support of Eel River Valley news, events, and accomplishments. The paper will be greatly missed.
For the last two years the Fortuna Union High School District has been communicating with the community through a monthly article. The opportunity to run a regular article has been an asset to keeping the community informed about academic, extracurricular, athletic, and financial issues. The district will miss the opportunity to have a regular community voice. Many thanks to Franklin Stover for his commitment to publishing our monthly article.
Having only one Eureka-based newspaper to cover all the news and events in Humboldt County is a tall order. For the Times Standard to cover the Eel River Valley news with the same depth is unlikely. There are too many small communities in the greater county area for the Times Standard to cover. Again, the district wants to thank the Humboldt Beacon staff for its hard work and support.

11. Subscribers since '64
Dear Editor,
I, too, am sad about the Beacon's demise. We have been subscribers (I believe) since we moved here in 1964. Having a truly local paper is quite important. This is what happens when someone sells out to a huge company.
I've enjoyed your writings and was pleased when you attended and reported on the Fortuna Union High School District Board meetings. You always made a fair assessment of the matters discussed.

12. Grandfather worked at the Beacon
Dear Editor,
It is so sad that there will no longer be a Beacon. My grandfather, Chester C. Craddock, was a newspaper man most of his working life and retired from the Beacon in the early sixties. He continued to write articles and contribute to the Beacon in various ways long after his retirement.
I myself worked for the Beacon in the sixties after high school would let out. Also other relatives worked there at different times. I have two sons. One has left the area and could care less about Fortuna or the Beacon but the other son is a real home grown boy that would pick up a copy of the Beacon almost weekly. This is just another example of losing our heritage. Thank you for all that you have done during your tenure. I wish you the best.

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. – The city of Martinsburg and five police officers are seeking the dismissal of a $200 million lawsuit stemming from the fatal shooting of a Virginia man.
The family of 50-year-old Wayne Arnold Jones of Stephens City, Virginia, sued Martinsburg and the officers last year. The federal lawsuit alleges that police used unreasonable and excessive force. It says Jones was shot 15 to 25 times while he was on the ground on March 13, 2013.
The Journal reports that attorneys for the city and the officers asked a judge earlier this month to dismiss the lawsuit. Their motion says Jones represented a lethal threat.
Police have said Jones drew a knife after the officers stopped him as he was walking on a street. One officer was stabbed during a scuffle.

Diamond has now been appointed chief executive of Barclays, a company more commonly associated with high-street banking than high-risk investment (his speciality). He has championed the idea of a "bailout" fund to ensure that banks never have to rely on taxpayer funds. Yet it is difficult for people to take him seriously when they look at his salary (he took home £22m in 2006).

My father is in his 70's and he claims it is before his time. I think it is from the late 40's or early fifties. What do you all think. It is a large toy in good shape but costly at the auction where I bought it.

First, I am new to the forums and only about 3 weeks into practicing buddhism. If I am posting this in the wrong area, please let me know. I am not used to this forum yet. That being said:
So, I work at a group home for mental illness. I love working with the clients, BUT I have to bill medicaid and medicare. My problem is this, my supervisor told me that my primary role is to get 5 hours of billing a night coded into the system, however I don't even spend that much time with them. If I did spend that much time with them then the billing would never get done because it takes a lot of work to enter services into the computer. However, my supervisor told me to get the 5 hours put in or I would have to find another job. I feel like she is expecting me to lie in order to accomplish this. I know there are a few violations of the precepts involved with this, but how would you guys handle it?

Beavan quietly making bid for rotation spot
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Blake Beavan was an 11-game winner for the Mariners in 2012 and has 43 Major League starts on his resume, yet the big right-hander is largely overlooked when it comes to conversations about Seattle's starting candidates this spring.
But Beavan, 25, isn't worried about that. He says he feels fully healthy after a bout with tendinitis in his knee last year and has returned to the pitching mechanics that worked better for him two years ago when he started 26 games.
And as for flying under the radar? The former first-round Draft pick of the Rangers understands full well why other young pitchers like Taijuan Walker, James Paxton and Brandon Maurer get so much attention.
"These guys we've got here are very special," Beavan said after throwing three innings of one-run ball in Monday's 8-1 victory over the Rockies. "Not that they're much different in age from me, but we've got Paxton, Maurer, Taijuan and all these guys that can light up the gun and show some nasty stuff out there.
"It's good to see those guys get talked about like that. They deserve it. I'm just trying to go out there and get back to where I was before last year. That's my main focus of Spring Training."
With Walker sidelined by a sore shoulder, Maurer recently slowed by a stiff back and Hisashi Iwakuma out for at least the first few weeks of the season with a sprained tendon in his finger, Beavan might prove to be an early-season fallback. And he's looked the part this spring with a 1.80 ERA in five innings in his first two appearances, scattering four hits with no walks in Monday's three frames.
"We stretched him out and he probably fatigued just a little and got a couple pitches up," manager Lloyd McClendon said. "But I thought his stuff was good for the most part all day. He did a good job for us. He's a command guy, he's not a guy that is going to light up the radar gun. He has to control the strike zone, stay down and move it in and out and he did a fine job of that today."
Beavan knows what is at stake this spring and notes "this is a big year for me" as he tries to bounce back from last year, when he started just two games before being sent down and then spent most of the year in Triple-A Tacoma outside of a long-relief stint in Seattle.
"There's been opportunity here the last couple years," he said. "It's always good to have competitive Spring Trainings and we're fortunate we've got a lot of guys who can do a lot of great things. It's just fun to see everybody pushing each other. We're still all buddies, but when we get on the mound, it's time to go after them and compete. At the end of the day, it's your turn to take care of your family and try to win a job."

It never rains but it pours, as they say. No sooner had our feature on the Sawyer family's plug-in Prius hit your screens (and mailboxes) than fast-breaking news overtook us: Hymotion announced a plug-in hybrid conversion kit for less than $10 000.
The company is now called A123 Hymotion, to reflect its purchase by battery maker A123 Systems. Their new L5 Plug-In Conversion Module supplements the Prius's stock 1.3-kWh nickel-metal-hydride battery pack with a 5-kWh pack based on A123's iron-nanophosphate lithium-ion cells.
Several features distinguish this kit from others now being offered, including the Sawyers' conversion, performed by Hybrids Plus of Boulder, Colorado. For one thing, it's been engineered and crash-tested to meet all applicable Federal new-car safety standards. For another, the converted car meets new-car emissions standards--which not every plug-in conversion does, including earlier versions of Hymotion's own kit.
And finally, it costs a lot less than the Sawyer family's conversion did: They paid Hybrids Plus $30,000 for a "PHEV-30," meaning their plug-in gets roughly 30 miles of pure electric range from its 4.5-kWh replacement pack plus another 4.5-kWh auxiliary pack. Those packs, by the way, also use A123's cells. Hymotion, on the other hand, quotes 30 to 40 miles of "electrically assisted" range for a third of that: $9,995.
Left unspecified, however, is the distance that the Hymotion kit will run in pure electric mode, without switching on the internal-combustion engine. The answer, as always, lies in the car's duty cycle: how heavily it's loaded, how agressively it's driven, the mix of speeds, and even such factors as how many hills it climbs.
We'll leave it to road testers to offer their real-world experience. And no doubt the highly active PHEV community will weigh in, from the always-energetic Felix Kramer at CalCars to the many members of the Electric Auto Association's very active PHEV mailing list.
After you read the feature on the Sawyers' car, by the way, check out both the audio slideshow on the conversion steps (my first audio slideshow) and the web-only summary of automakers' plans to introduce production versions of plug-in hybrids.
