Check Out This Hilarious Interview With "Clown" Of Slipknot [VIDEO/NSFW]
Roadrunner Records recently spoke with "Clown" of Slipknot during the Download Festival in Donington Park in Leicestershire, United Kingdom. Before you watch this interview please know that "Clown" uses some pretty harsh language so make sure if you don't want anyone to hear the language used don't watch.
My favorite part of this interview is when "Clown" gives his answer on what he does when Slipknot performs "The Heretic Anthem."
Shawn "Clown" Crahan is a very busy not only performing in Slipknot but he has put himself at the top of music video directors. The last video that he directed is Motionless In White's "America" which is by far my favorite video fo 2013 so far.
Check out the video and get some laughs with Clown of Slipknot.

Wales 16-16 Fiji, Millennium Stadium, November 20
Wales left painfully exposed

Wales' Ryan Jones reflects on his side's draw with Fiji at the Millennium Stadium © Getty Images
Far from erasing their shock exit from Rugby World Cup 2007 at the hands of Fiji - this game served as a reminder of the frailties that linger within the Welsh game and that a lack of genuine strength in depth continues to hinder their progress.
The hosts came painfully close to another highly embarrassing reverse at the hands of the Flying Fijians who would have been fully deserving of the win had they upset the odds due to their unrelenting efforts. But as credit-worthy their performance was it is Wales' shortcomings that will dominate the headlines.
As a warm-up for their biggest test of the autumn against the No.1 ranked New Zealand it could not have gone much worse. But in the same way that Fiji may celebrate a draw as if it were a victory, this result will resonate as far and wide as that dark day in Nantes. Six Tests without a win is bad enough but the performance is the real concern with their tactical and mental fragility suggesting they are in for a torrid time against the All Blacks who on this form have nothing to fear from the Welsh.
Wales lacked conviction for much of the contest and were all too easily bullied by a Fijian side that delivered their trademark punch in terms of physicality. That should have been no surprise to the hosts but you could have been thinking that Fiji were an unknown quantity going by Wales' failure to weather that storm and meet fire with fire. One crunching tackle in response to a Fijian onslaught may have been enough to change the course of the first half but it never came.
The home side, featuring nine changes from the side that pushed the Springboks so close last weekend, were guilty of trying to force proceedings early on with individuals seemingly determined to impress in what for some was an audition ahead of the All Blacks clash. And when they weren't looking for the adventurous route they were sitting too deep or gifting territory and possession in the loose or at the lineout - with one wild pass from the usually reliable prop Adam Jones summing up his side's woes.
All the talk before the game was about not being drawn into a broken game that Fiji thrive on but that message obviously didn't hit home and it took what was surely a strongly-worded reminder from coach Warren Gatland at half-time to remedy the situation. But even then it needed the fresh impetus provided by replacements - fly-half Stephen Jones, scrum-half Mike Phillips, centre Tom Shanklin and lock Bradley Davies - to spark Wales into life and offer some much needed support to the industry of openside Dan Lydiate and vision of centre James Hook.
Wales began to look a little more like the force they are supposed to be but they could not find the continuity or cutting edge that would have ended Fiji's brave challenge. And maybe just as well because a home win would have been a little harsh on a Fiji side fully deserving of a share of the spoils. But the fact that they were able to snatch a draw reflects particularly badly on Wales captain Ryan Jones who not only failed to get his side over the line in the dying moments of the game but coughed up the final penalty that enabled Fiji to snatch a draw.
The game as a whole may have been an ugly spectacle - with the scrum a particular eyesore - but sport remains a results-driven business and Fiji cannot be faulted for their application. Centre Albert Vulivuli grabbed a try to cap a superb personal display with the strong-running of No.8 Sisa Koyamaibole also worthy of note.
As good as they are with limited preparation you wonder what Fiji could do if granted the same kind of luxuries afforded their Tier 1 rivals. The two sides are slated to meet again during next year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand by which time Fiji may well be a more polished force. A thought perhaps not worth dwelling on if you are a Welsh fan or Warren Gatland but the daunting prospect of his under-performing side facing the All Blacks will be causing enough sleepless nights as it is.
This performance was a world away from the power and pace on show against the Boks and Gatland has his work cut out to breathe life and belief back into his side and in particular some of those players who let him down here. Luckily he has some experienced heads to call upon next weekend but there is precious little evidence to suggest Wales will bring an end to a 57-year drought against the All Blacks.

What's the most Godless city in America?9 comments on this story
According to a Time magazine article, the metro areas surrounding Providence, R.I., and New Bedford, Mass., are the least Bible-minded city areas in the United States, with much of the Northeast also being ranked low in the recent study by the American Bible Society.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Roanoke, Va., and the greater Birmingham area of Alabama were all ranked in the top three as cities with the highest connection to the Bible.
"We want people to know that whether you live in the least or most Bible-minded cities, the Bible can speak to your needs, challenges and concerns and help you make sense of your life," said American Bible Society communications officer Geoffrey Morin.

Girl Scout Troop 151 loves animals, so when it came time for this Cadette troop of girls out of Hammond Middle to pick an idea for their Silver Award, they decided they wanted to help pets.
They contacted the Howard County Food Bank about their idea to start collecting dog and cat food for needy families with pets. The Food Bank loved the idea of a Pet Food Bank and the girls have been working hard to raise awareness and money to support their project. They have had meetings with the Food Bank.
Then, in August, they dropped off 80 pounds of dog and cat food at the bank. In September, they collected food and passed out flyers at the Petco in Columbia. What a great idea these girls had.
The troop members are Drew Trumbull, Emma Danaher, Allison Fleming, Julia Yoon and Gabriella DeGrezia. Their leader is Kathy Trumbull with Judy Danaher and Erin Fleming as co-leaders.

Lack of energy shows in perfect-game loss
Shields drops first game as Rays fall further into hitting slump
By Eric Gilmore / Special to MLB.com
A's left-hander Dallas Braden left no doubt, firing a perfect game against a Rays team that had hit just .209 in its previous eight games before Sunday's 4-0 loss.
"Obviously, this entire trip we really have not swung the bats like we're capable, but we will," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "I have a lot of faith in our guys. It just was a matter of the approach was not good today, and we were just down on the energy scale."
The Rays left Oakland and headed for Anaheim after losing two out of three to the A's. They lost back-to-back games and lost a series for just the second time this year.
Tampa Bay won the first four games on this nine-game road trip before losing two straight to Oakland. But during that four-game road streak, the Rays masked their hitting problems with tremendous pitching and what manager Maddon referred to as an "uncanny" ability to produce timely hits. The timely hits disappeared Saturday, and hits of any variety vanished Sunday.
"We just have to keep battling," Rays catcher Dioner Navarro said. "We lost today. Just another loss, and we've got to come back strong tomorrow."
Maddon said he had a bad feeling as the first few innings of Sunday's game against the A's unfolded. No, he didn't expect his team to be the victim of a perfect game for the second time in less than a year -- White Sox left-hander Mark Buehrle was perfect against Tampa Bay on July 23 last season. But he sensed that his team lacked its usual energy, playing its sixth road game in six days and second straight day game.
"They just outplayed us today," Maddon said. "Our energy was down. We did not have our typical energy. We just looked flat from the beginning, and it just proceeded throughout the day. Of course, their pitcher had something to do with it, but I thought a lot of it was self-inflicted."
Then again, Maddon joked, maybe it was his fault that the Rays didn't get a runner on base.
"I'm a bad omen. That's the third perfect game I've been on the wrong side of, and the fourth no-hitter," he said. "Not all four as a manager. One [perfect game], Kenny Rogers, as a bullpen coach. Eric Milton, as an interim manager, and then two perfect games as a manager. So I guess if you want to see one eventually, hang around me and at some point you'll see one."
Rays starter James Shields entered the game with a 4-0 record and a four-game winning streak against the A's. He was 4-1 with a 3.59 ERA lifetime against Oakland before Sunday.
This time, he gave up 11 hits -- 10 of them singles -- and four runs, just two earned, in six innings. He struck out six and walked one.
"They got base hits off me," Shields said. "They didn't hit the ball hard, but they got the hits they needed to get. They got hits when it counted, with runners in scoring position.
"I didn't pitch well today. They were the better team overall. You've got to tip your cap to Braden. This guy pitched an unbelievable game against us."
Shields pitched a 1-2-3 first, but that was the end of his easy ride. The A's laced three singles in the second inning and took a 1-0 lead when Landon Powell singled home Kevin Kouzmanoff.
Oakland made it 2-0 in the third, using three more singles. Kouzmanoff drove in Daric Barton with an infield single in the hole that deflected off the glove of a diving Jason Bartlett.
The A's added two unearned runs in the fourth when Shields gave up two more singles and Navarro made a throwing error.
The Rays' Ben Zobrist said there's nothing to do now but give Braden his due and try to get back on track against the Angels.
"He pitched a great game," Zobrist said. "We just have to be gracious losers today and just say, 'Hey, great game.' It's just one loss for us. We're still in a good place right now as a team. We just have to come back and keep playing our game."

President George Bush's speech in Senegal about the evils of slavery last week has, as one critic quipped, made Africa and its history "sexy". About time, too, as Aids, drought, genocide and poverty threaten not only the continent but the stability of the world.
But how much of the blame for Africa's present plight can be laid at the door of slavery? After all, hasn't slavery in the Americas been illegal since the 1880s and haven't Africans themselves had slaves since time immemorial?
It's true that African slavery predates the Atlantic slave trade. However, traditional systems of domestic slavery - brutal as they could be - were transformed and intensified on an unprecedented scale as the internal slave trade also generated an export trade, first across the Sahara and then across the Atlantic.
As the Portuguese caravel replaced the Arab caravan, the slave trade was continuously rationalised for profit and thus made more ruthlessly efficient than ever.
The history of the Atlantic slave trade could be characterised as the first bloody essay into globalisation. For it didn't just involve Africa, but the Americas, Europe and Asia as well.
Goree, where Bush delivered his speech, was among the first African slave ports to be drawn into the Atlantic economy and exemplifies the inherently international nature of the trade. Variously claimed by the Portuguese, French, Dutch and British, Goree was supplied by African warlords with slaves from an increasingly wide range of peoples from the African interior. These captives began to forge a more generic "African" identity as they plotted uprisings against their new commercial masters.
The slave merchants resident in Goree included both the sons of the business elite of Bordeaux and the legendary "signoras" of African-Portuguese descent. They in turn traded slaves and provisions for East Indian cloth, Swedish iron ore, English guns and French brandy with the European and American ships that plied the west African coast.
By the late 18th century, Goree island had lent its name to the main quay in Liverpool's new harbour and to a parish of Bristol, Rhode Island, then an important North American slaving port.
Enslaved Africans not employed to cultivate crops or service the slave caravans coming from the east into Goree were fated to be exported across the Atlantic as plantation labour. It was this hunger for labour which fed the demand for slavery in the Americas.
If Goree itself saw perhaps only some 330,000 people cross the "gate of no return" throughout the 18th century, the most recent estimates put the total number of enslaved Africans forced onto the New World between the 1440s and the 1860s at no less than 12 million. This excludes the untold millions who died en route to the west African coast nor those who died on the so-called "middle passage" to America and the Caribbean.
Malcolm X conjured up the dramatic image of a trail of blood across the Atlantic as slave ships threw the rebellious and ill to the sharks. This may not have been literally the case but it contains a metaphorical truth. For though white crews also suffered from the harsh discipline and high mortality rates of "the Africa run", Africans also had to endure the often-unmentioned horrors of being chained in holds awash with dysentery, and of being subject to the casual reign of sexual terrorism endemic on board slave ships.
Ferociously brutal reprisals were inflicted on any perceived act of insubordination, including not eating or dancing at the captain's command. Nor should the psychological impact suffered by those separated from their families to face a terrifyingly uncertain future be discounted.
One of the Atlantic slave trade's most insidious legacies was the way it racialised slavery. In ancient times when "free labour" was the exception, anyone from any people could be enslaved. Indeed, the word slave is said to have come from the Greek word for Slav. But by the 18th century, slave status was increasingly associated exclusively with Africans. It was this association which served to denigrate black people whatever their status.
The racist ideologies of the early 19th century were thus rooted in the slave trade and in turn materially affected the fate of Africans everywhere. The prestige now enjoyed by Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell was unthinkable until very recently, so enduring has slavery's impact been on the status of black Americans.
The final charge to be laid against the Atlantic slave trade is its impact on Africa itself. Transatlantic slavery encouraged the armed, the predatory and the ruthless. It empowered regimes brutal enough to extort taxes or slaves from their neighbours and engendered the spread of domestic slavery as increasing numbers of people were needed to grow crops to feed those slaves awaiting export. Mafia-style regimes made strong through the arms trade and greedy by the prospect of easy money flourished at the expense of the peaceful peasant and communally-run village.
So though transatlantic slavery is at the root of modern racism, it transcends race. It epitomises a most exploitative form of globalisation, which has since resurfaced in new forms. Will the Bush regime help redress its legacy through fair trade practices and constructive engagement? Or will Adam Smith's "invisible hand" still hold the whip?

FAQs on possible Biogenesis suspensions
FAQs on possible Biogenesis suspensions
Q. What happens next?
A. Biogenesis founder Anthony Bosch will be interviewed sometime in the next week, according to ESPN. How many players may face suspensions and for how long will be determined after baseball investigators fully evaluate the evidence they have.
Q. One of the players rumored to be facing a possible suspension is Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez. He's rehabbing from hip surgery, and there's no clear timetable for his return. Can a player be suspended while on the disabled list?
A. Yes. For example, Phillies infielder Freddy Galvis was given a 50-game suspension on June 19 last season after testing positive for a metabolite of Clostebol. He had been placed on the DL with a fractured vertebrae on June 7 and was still sidelined when his 50-game suspension was up.
Q. In that scenario, how is the player penalized?
A. Players are not paid while they're suspended.
Q. How will Major League Baseball announce potential suspensions?
A. It depends. If the player is considered a first-time offender, he's informed privately. No announcement is supposed to be made until after he decides whether to appeal and that process is completed. In the case of a player who's previously been suspended, MLB is free to make his name public immediately.
Q. What happens if a player decides to appeal?
A. There will be a hearing in front of an arbitrator. The player will be represented by the Major League Baseball Players Association or an attorney of his choosing. MLB's case will be made by a management labor lawyer.
Q. Can the arbitrator compromise by, say, reducing a 50-game suspension to 25 games?
A. No. Just like in salary arbitration, he or she must come down on one side or the other.

As they say, every vote counts.
With only a nine-vote difference between the candidates in the 22nd Judicial District attorney Republican primary, no winner was declared Tuesday night and all indicators point to a recount and a more than a week wait for official results.
After unofficial numbers were tabulated in the 22nd Judicial District, which encompasses Montezuma and Dolores counties, challenger Will Furse held a razor-thin lead over incumbent DA Russell Wasley. Out of 3,825 ballots cast in the two counties, Furse claimed 1,917 votes, 50.1 percent, and Wasley held 1,908 votes, 49.9 percent.
There are also a few ballots that need to be counted in the district.
Both candidates seemed stunned to receive the news Tuesday night.
Wasley commented on the rigors of the campaign and said that following a crazy election cycle a close result shouldnt be such a shock.
Everyone worked very hard and I guess it was just a very close race, Wasley said, at Republcan headquarters on Main Street Tuesday night. I guess this year nothing surprises me. But still...
Furse struggled to find the right words to address the situation, settling on a few comments on the importance of voting.
I almost dont want to say a word until we have final results, Furse said. I had no doubt it would be close but to hear victory may be defined by only nine votes ... It should motivate people to go out and vote, because, obviously, your vote will make a difference.
The results of the primary may trigger an automatic recount. Colorado election law mandates a recount if the margin of victory in the district is less than one half of one percent of the total votes cast. The current nine-vote difference is just 0.02 percent of the total vote.
However, in both Dolores and Montezuma counties there are some ballots that have yet to be counted in the race, and those ballots could move the election from recount territory to an official declaration of a winner.
We had over 30 unsigned ballots that came in to us, Tullis said. Those voters still have a chance to come in to the clerks office and sign their ballots and have their ballots be counted.
Colorado election law allows for an eight-day window after a mail-in ballot election during which voters who failed to sign for their ballots may rectify the error.
Voters are to be informed by mail they have time to sign their ballots, if they want their vote to be counted.
According to the Colorado Department of States Quick Reference Guide for primary mail ballot elections, If a mail ballot envelope is not signed, a letter must be sent within two days, but no later than three days after the election, notifying the voter that he or she has nine calendar days after the election to go to the elections office to sign the envelope.
Tullis said as voters return to sign ballots, those votes will be counted as the canvassing process is completed in the county.
In addition to unsigned ballots, Tullis said the county is also waiting on UOCAVA ballots. UOCAVA voters are military voters and county residents living overseas.
I would say we have about 60 total ballots that could still be counted, Tullis said. That doesnt mean they all will come back, but they could.
In Dolores County, no ballots were returned unsigned, but the clerks office did hold back 25 ballots to join with military ballots that have yet to be returned. At least 25 ballots must be held in reserve in order to conduct a final count with voting machines. Two military ballots are still out, for a total of 27 votes that may still be counted in Dolores County.
All outstanding ballots must be returned to the county clerk offices by July 5. Canvassing and official abstracts are due July 9.
Once abstracts are delivered to the secretary of states office the determination will be made whether an automatic recount has been triggered. Should the secretary of states office order a recount, that decision will be made by July 16. Candidates may request a recount, to be conducted at their own expense, by July 17. Recounts must be completed by July 26.
An election-night party for Furse held at Mr. Happys Bakery had an awkward feel as supporters tried to wrap their minds around the narrow lead earned by their candidate that may vanish in the future.
I anticipated it would be much closer than anyone thought but this is closer than what anyone wanted, said Furse supporter Todd King. Hopefully time will uphold the results we have now.
The county breakdown had Furse with a 1,835 to 1,792 edge in Montezuma County and Wasley with a 116 to 82 vote lead in Dolores County.
Other Republican candidates said Tuesdays results exemplified the nature of the race.
I think it speaks to the quality of the campaign those two ran, said Keenan Ertel, who was declared the winner in the District 2 race for Montezuma County commissioner. They really knew how to get out there and get votes and I know both want it dearly and both have worked so hard.
Dewayne Findley, Republican winner for the District 3 race for Montezuma County commissioner, said he is sure both DA candidates are on pins and needles, waiting for results.
I will say this, win or lose, I think the voters usually get it right, Findley said.
As for the candidates themselves, both believe final results will turn out in their favor and both are willing to fight in the next few days to be sure the official count is fair and everyones voice is heard.
We are just going to have to wait and be sure the process is followed, Furse said. We want votes counted.
Wasley said the waiting will be difficult, but a week is not much when compared to the multi-month campaign.
Weve been waiting for months, he said. I suppose we can wait a few more days.
Official results in the race for the Republican candidate for district attorney are expected once all ballots are counted and a canvass is completed. The deadline to complete the canvass is July 9.
Currently, no candidate has filed paperwork to challenge the primary winner in the 2012 general election.

I like to listen to music, and I know that my choice of music is not to everyone's taste, so I tend to listen to a bit of music through a set of earphones rather than blasting my music out of the speakers so that everyone around me has to put up with it, (considerate of me I know. It's a shame not every one is like that?)
Anyway, the earphones that I use have to be connected to a half decent music system, although I don't want to spend a lot of money for the privilege, which means I don't look down the ipod road.
So over my time of listening to music I have found several lovely music systems, with one or two bad ones as well. My latest one being a lovely little red number that cost less than a night out and has lasted quite some time, giving my ears the pleasure that I desire whilst keeping those around me from giving me funny looks, (until I start singing that it..??)
This lovely little red number that I am referring too is in fact called the Yarvik, but not just any old Yarvik but the Yarvik run, which makes it sound like a Russian motor vehicle from the 1960's.
So what does this car... I mean, music player look like..?
It's square, and I don't mean that in the 1980's way for boring, or was that the 70's?.
No, I mean the player is a square shape, or rectangular really, to be precise, measuring in at 29mm wide by 44mm high and a mere 12mm deep, weighing in at just over 10 grams.
The front has what looks like a white cross inside the lovely coloured casing. On this cross there are the controls, those being the back and forwards button to browse through your tracks, together with a + and - button for the volume. In the centre of the white cross there is a play/pause button which, as it says, plays and pauses the tracks you have put onto this little player.
Look on one side of this and you'll see the mini USB port, together with a small on/off switch and a tiny little LED light which glows when the USB cable is connected to your PC.
On the other side there is the 3.5mm earphone jack socket which will house your favourite earphones so you're not stuck with the ones that come with this one. Plus, there's another little light that lets you know when a track is being played or is paused, indicating by either flashing or staying on.
Then on the rear of this there is a solid feeling clip which, when closed, has a vice like grip so that when it is attached to a belt or the like it is not going to flick off as you jog along the road.
Some technical bits...
It connects to a PC using USB 2.0, with the supplied cable being a good length so that you're not having to stick that close to your PC when charging it up, or transferring your data over.
The earphones (supplied) have a frequency response of 20Hz to 20KHz with an impedance of 32 Ohm, (Yes, I know, sounds like a song I once heard on Red Dwarf. not that I was actually on the mining ship). Together with the fact that they have a cable length of over ¾ of a metre there's plenty of cable to stop you having to have you head bent down when you're listening to your music with this player sat in your pocket.
It connects to a PC using the USB cable and once connected it can charge the battery and transfer data using most operating systems, Windows that is, although I'm not so sure about Mac but I can't think why it shouldn't work on it. (If you try first the please let me know if it doesn't as I haven't tried as yet).
It supports MP3, WMA and OGG music formats, which covers most tracks these days
It has a playing time of up to 5 hours from one fully charged Li-Ion battery, which takes about 2 -3 hours to fully charge.
There are several versions, colour wise and storage too, with the one I have being the 2GB version, which will hold many songs to get you through that workout, or, if like me, that sitting around doing nothing.
My opinion...
As I said earlier I don't like to spend too much money for the sake of listening to music, so I tend to go for cheaper music players, like this one. Sometimes I get a few months out of them before they decide to pack up, but that's not too bad as I have spent a lot of money on players in the past and they have only lasted a matter of months themselves.
This one is not a lot to look at, and it won't turn heads when it gets spotted in the street, (which means that you won't get mugged for it). But if you're anything like me and don't really care what other people think about the equipment you have, (easy now ladies), then something like this is a blessing in disguise.
Using it is so simple, getting easier with each use. The controls on the front feel firm enough and are very responsive when pushed, be it changing the volume or the tracks. It's not touch screen type control and does need pressing with a bit of force, (but only a bit).
The clip on the rear is strong and when it grips what ever you attach it too it doesn't move very much. It may slide a little on certain size belts but it has never fallen off anything that I have attached it too, which is good, especially when running up and down somewhere or other.
The earphones that come with this aren't the best although they are good enough to hear the music clear enough. But as I have a favourite set of buds I tend to use those instead, which gives me a better sound and, more importantly, a very comfortable fit inside my ears
Then there's transferring tracks onto this little device, which takes no effort at all and, depending on how many tracks you want to put onto it at one time, can take a matter of minutes to do so.
You do have to remember that once your tracks are on the player they will play in order that you put them on. There's no way of changing the order just using this player, you'll have to plug this back into your PC, swap them around there, then unplug the USB cable. Either that or just keep flicking through the tracks until you get to the one you want.
But then again, if it's you putting the tracks on the you will most likely only put the ones that you want on in a particular order, the order that you actually want.
Plus, when you have this connected to your PC it automatically goes into charging mode, so the longer you take putting tracks onto it the more power it will gain.
It comes in a vast array of colours, such as black, blue, green, silver, purple, gold, white and even pink, so there's got to be a colour for everyone to match their outfits.
I do have to mention that when I saw this in the box I just couldn't believe the size of the box itself, it was in fact over four time the size of this little player, which was a bit over the top in any ones eyes.
Inside the box there was the player itself, which you can see through the window ¾ of the way up. Then there's a set of earphones, which luckily are a standard 3.5mm jack so that you can use your favourite ones if you don't like the sound quality of these.
Also, there is a manual, which is the reason for the size of the box as it is in the form of a booklet... this booklet has several languages including English, (yippee), French, German, Spanish and more, which is why the booklet is so thick.
In all, this is a cheap and cheerful little player that you can listen to your favourite tracks on without worrying that it may get damaged. Whilst it's small enough to hide away it's big enough to fill your ears with delight.
So, if you like to listen to music whilst wanting to keep your money in your wallet then this is well worth looking at as it will certainly make you happy.
So what about the price of this little music player?
This sells on the open market for about £14.00, with prices varying depending on the GB size. But the colour of the unit doesn't change the price at all, just the GB storage size.

Will CPRIT Be Perry's Achilles Heel?
Defenders downplay integrity unit probe of governor's cancer-fighting institute.
Disclosure upfront: Despite thinking Zac's series on Gov. Rick Perry is hilarious, I sort of like Perry, not least for his ability to make "enlightened" types see red. That said, I can't help thinking that the governor's defenders in the Travis County dust-up—including David Axelrod and Alan Dershowitz—are underestimating one aspect of the case.
That is, the implication that Perry vetoed the public integrity unit funds because the unit was investigating funny business at the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, one of Perry's "signature accomplishments."
That might be seen as a stretch—if the governor didn't have a history of bigfooting in this manner. Remember how he delayed investigation of the Willingham arson case by replacing several members of the Texas Forensic Science Commission just before a key presentation? Just seems like the CPRIT angle might strike Jane and Joe Six-Pack as a little more troubling than Perry's defenders are letting on.

Painting a lush and vivid picture of the coral reef off of Queensland Australia, Di Morrissey tells the story of Jennifer, whose traumatic childhood experience with a family beach vacation shapes her adult relationships and respect for the sea. Jennifer's problematic relationship with her mother and husband are set against the backdrop of a cay in the coral reef where marine scientists and resort vacationers coexist but shady dealings threaten to topple the delicate balance. With a sumptuous voice and sincere tone, Kate Hood performs the dramatic, personal story that carries an underlying theme of sea conservation.
When world-famous Isobel Belitas arrives, Jennifer learns to see the world - above and below the sea - very differently. Isobel also teaches her to come to terms with her obsessive mother, as well as her disintegrating marriage. But no one, not even investigative journalist Tony Adams, could have prepared Jennifer for the stunning revelations of what is really happening on this island paradise...
©2003 Lady Byron Pty Ltd.; (P)2005 Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd.
"Full of the sights, sounds and smells of tropical north Queensland....the story plunges forward with all the impetus of a wave crashing on the beach, and the reader is carried - joyfully - along with it." (Travelscene International)
"Yawnfully predictable storyline"
What a predictable and shallow story. Only I had paid for it so I was determined to hear it out.
If only the narrator hadn't given the heroine a breathy little girl voice, I may have accepted her total lack of personality. We don't really understand 'why' Jennifer does what she does. Her husband to be is not nice from the start and her mother is a plain bitch but good old Jen just goes along with them both until her life crumbles in the most predictable way. There is just something missing from the description of Jennifer's reaction to those around her. I didn't understand why she never expressed doubt or disapproval - I didn't hear her thinking - I didn't ever get to feel warmly towards her. This seems to be a weak vehicle for the author to write about the Barrier Reef and conservation. Both great topics but a painful way to learn about them. My first and sadly last Di M.

NORMAN, Okla. — Bob Stoops doesn't want anyone looking for a deeper reason why he decided to silence some of his players as No. 16 Oklahoma tries to tackle a growing problem in Big 12 road games.
Stoops said Tuesday that his reasoning behind allowing only five players to talk to reporters this week was not related to the four-game Big 12 road skid for the Sooners (8-2, 4-2 Big 12), who happen to have the nation's longest home winning streak.
"There's just too many messages out there. That's all," Stoops said. "I'd rather some older guys that have been around, let them talk. It gives them a little more attention, guys who I think deserve it. And they're all good players, right?"
Indeed, Stoops allowed access to some of the team's top standouts: defensive end Jeremy Beal, receiver Ryan Broyles, linebacker Travis Lewis, offensive lineman Eric Mensik and running back DeMarco Murray. Notably missing was quarterback Landry Jones, a team captain along with Beal and Lewis.
"He's got class, he's working, he's got a lot to do," Stoops said. "He's only a sophomore."
Jones is 1-5 in road games over the past two seasons, with the only win coming last year at Kansas. He also has wins this year against Cincinnati in a game played at the Bengals' stadium instead of on campus and against Texas in a Cotton Bowl stadium half-filled with Oklahoma fans.
Stoops frequently defends Jones by saying his supporting cast hasn't done enough to help him win on the road. He doesn't plan to make any changes to the Sooners' weekly routine, saying that it worked in the years before Oklahoma lost several star players — including Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford — while going 8-5 last season.
He also considers those neutral-site games to be road victories.
"I think we've had three regular seasons that we've been undefeated, so we've got to be doing something right on the road through the years," Stoops said. "Obviously, last year was one where it wasn't the best. We don't need to go back into all the different reasons last year wasn't the best in a lot of cases."
In each of its losses this season, Oklahoma has immediately fallen behind on the road. Missouri returned the opening kickoff for a 7-0 lead, and Texas A&M went up 9-0 in the first 3 minutes on an errant snap for a safety and a quick scoring drive.
Stoops said he is "not out there gauging" his team's energy level prior to games to determine whether it differs on the road from at home, but he has never noticed a warning sign that the Sooners would be in trouble.
When asked why there's such a discrepancy between the Sooners outscoring three conference opponents 140-17 at Owen Field while losing both road games, he fired back: "Ask those other teams why maybe they didn't play so well here."Comment on this story
In order to reach its annual goal of winning the Big 12 championship, Oklahoma will need to find some answers. The regular season concludes with road games at Baylor and then No. 12 Oklahoma State, which holds a one-game lead over the Sooners and Texas A&M in the South standings.
The team's rallying cry has been to play the same way on the road as at home, but it hasn't been that simple so far.
"Until we do it, we can just talk about it and philosophize and theorize, and we just need to go out and play good football," offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said. "We're capable of it. We've done it a couple times this year. We need to do it again.
"Good teams do it every week. Talented teams do it once in a while."

wikiHow to Make a Landsphere
Do you want a terrarium with tiny critters? Don't have time to care for your pets? Then this terrarium will cure both! Read on to learn to create your own "garden".
1Get a glass jar or bottle that is at least 3-liters. Then, wash your container with water only & dry it.
2Add aquarium gravel, rinse it with water. Spread it in your bottle or jar about one inch deep. This will provide drainage for your plant roots.
3Put half an inch of compost in your container. The compost has microorganisms that will decompose waste products.
4Place in two inches of potting soil. This will provide burrowing areas for your animals.
5Place the seeds of small plants in the soil of your landsphere. Do not use seeds of very tall plants. Water the seeds daily until they germinate.
7After you put your animals in your landsphere, add water for the last time, seal it up, and don't open it again.

- Instead of catching your animals from the wild, you can buy them.
- With more equipment, you can make an even better landsphere.
- If you find snails or pill bugs under logs or rocks, remember to return the log or rock to its original position.
- Generally bad choices include caterpillars (only eat certain kinds of plants), aphids (reproduce quickly), spiders (only eat live prey), termites (they'll damage your home if they escape), flies other than fruit flies, reptiles and amphibians (must always be kept in tanks and they only eat live prey).
- Do not add flying insects in your container as they could damage their wings bumping into the glass.
- Remember that making terrariums is difficult.
Things You'll Need
- 3-liter jar or bottle with lid
- Aquarium gravel
- Four seeds of small plants
- Potting soil
- Compost
- Spray bottle with water (for watering)
- Small animals.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will have the opportunity to address needs on both side of the ball with their No. 3 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft.
Many believe that Jacksonville could be focused on one of the top signal-callers in the draft class -- Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel and UCF's Blake Bortles -- but they could instead have their eyes on improving along the defensive front.
According to ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr., the Jaguars will not pass on South Carolina standout Jadeveon Clowney if he is available when they are on the clock.
"The Jags decided to re-sign Chad Henne, and while I don't think they did so based on the idea he's an immovable object at starter, I do think they believe they can win football games with him starting if they improve everywhere else," Kiper wrote in his latest column. "And Clowney certainly improves a pass rush that we've been talking about as a draft priority for way too long."
SANCHEZ: AFC O-line coach believes Clowney will struggle in rookie season
Clowney is one of the most talented defensive players to come around in the past decade, and the Jaguars desperately need to improve their pass rush, which ranked tied for last in the NFL in sacks with just 31. So putting their quarterback needs on hold to boost their defensive presence could be a move that pays off in the long run.
Henne is by no means a star quarterback, but he showed the league last year that he is capable of running the Jaguars offense with some effectiveness.BANKS: Florida NFL teams making all the right moves in free agency

Two Isle of Wight bars are to be closed for seven days after staff were repeatedly caught selling alcohol to juveniles.
In recent test-purchase operations carried out by police and local authority trading standards officers, two venues: Ryde Superbowl and Foleys Bar, Shanklin, sold alcohol to volunteer purchasers aged 16-years-old.
In one instance the purchaser was aged just 15-years-old.
Where an 'underage' sale is repeated within a 3 month period the licensee may have committed an offence of 'persistently selling alcohol to children.'
In response, authorities may impose a 'closure order' banning alcohol sales for a fixed period.
These orders, issued by Superintendent Will Schofield under Section 169A of the Licensing Act 2003, will apply from January 14 at Foley's and from February 4 at Ryde Superbowl.
Under this legislation 'closure' means all sales of alcohol are banned for the full 7-day period, but the premises may remain open for other lawful activities.
Police licensing sergeant Mark Voller said: "Police view selling alcohol to juveniles as a serious matter, as reflected by the action taken against these venues.
"We have repeatedly warned that bar staff must carry out 'proof of age' checks in line with the policy on the premises.
"We have found that where no attempt is made to check ID the risk of making an illegal sale increases sharply.
"Licensees must show their staff how to check customer ID, then make sure they actually do it."
He added: "Together with Trading Standards officers we have met with the licence holders for both bars, who reassured us that everything possible is now being done to prevent illegal sales.
"We hope other Island businesses will take note of this outcome and we are keen to assist any licensee who is unsure of the law or the measures they need to put in place."

When individuals begin considering their way of living in retirement, they may consider moving to a small, cheaper home. Some may even look at seniors' condos or retirement homes. If the house you live in has been paid off, you may think about downsizing but you may actually see your housing costs increase, even though technically, you are reducing.
Many who have lived in the city are moving to a cheaper, less urban setting. This also typically lowers property taxes. Some individuals feel adventurous and that they are financially at the age in their lives when they can see the world and travel without obligations such as work and children to care for. Some enjoy doing this in an RV. RVs typically cost between $5,000 and $160,000.
While travel is seen as exciting by some, it is not for every retiree. Some prefer to remain in the community they have live in for a while-they feel better knowing their neighbors and possibly having family nearby. They may already be familiar with the activities in the area.
Some do look at moving away, especially if family is living far away. A lot of people prefer to be near their adult children and especially grandchildren. Moving near family also provides a connection in a new city. Socializing and activities may be introduced by your family.
If you are to do it feasibly, why not go live in Australia for a few months? It does not have to be there- the point is , go do what you always wanted to but could not because of work, school or caring for children.
Today, many retirees are pursuing a college education, or at least taking a few classes. Many are seeking post-secondary education either as additional education or purely for interests' sake. In many American states, residents are eligible for a few months of free tuition if they are over the age of 65. Many find it beneficial to their mental health, to keep their minds active and always learning. You can take the Introduction to Shakespeare course you never had time for, or Introduction to Physics.
Some, but certainly not all retirees find themselves feeling restless during retirement, especially at the beginning. When you have gone to work every day for fifty years, this feeling is not uncommon. Many retirees look at volunteering as a means to do something with their time, improve certain skills, utilize skills they already possess, and meet new people. There are many organizations, both profit and non –profit, needing volunteers. Finding a volunteer position which fits your skills and interests should not be too difficult-from building houses to serving soup at a soup kitchen to working with children- everywhere is searching for volunteers. This generation has been involved with activism for decades, pursuing a cause you are passionate about but were never able to dedicate a time to- the time is now!
However you decide to spend your retirement, whether it be volunteering, lying on a beach or traveling the world, make sure it is exactly how you want to spend it and it is what is making you happy. After all, you only have one retirement.

The Canadian government is currently strongly considering removing the "threatened" status of humpback whales residing off the coast of British Columbia. In what seems like far too much of a coincidence, changing the designation would likely enable the impending Northern Gateway pipeline project to send oil tankers through the protected (for now, anyway) waters where the whales raise their young and feed.
Though the government initially received the recommendation to change the classification of humpback whales three years ago, it decided against it based on the public's opinion. Let's prove ourselves influential again by reminding Canadian politicians that we still want to protect the whales, and that that shouldn't be compromised due to corporate oil interests.

Expressing themselves
My DD is 15 and I am very proud of her. She has her own style. It may not be what I would do, but, it works for her. She has bleached blonde hair, wears different colored hair extensions, puts purple chalk in her hair sometimes, (it's temporary and washes out so that she can change the color if she wants), wears dark black eyeliner and mascara, ripped jeans or some other color skinny jeans, band tee shirts and listens to heavy metal music. She loves groups like Black Veil Brides, Blood on the Dance Floor, Falling in Reverse and Asking Alexandria. She hates Slipknot and that I am grateful for and can't stand the (as she calls it) prep style. This looks great on her. She wants piercings and I have agreed to allow her to have one cartlege piercing on each ear. She knows that when she gets older, then, I will listen to her arguement on the little side piercing on the nose but nothing more. She doesn't ask for a tattoo, because she feels that she is too young for it and I will agree with that for right now. Personally, I believe she should never get a tattoo even at the ripe old age of 90.
But, I read responses to some of the questions about dressing and self expression and I have to wonder what exactly is wrong with me?
I let my dd do this because I see nothing wrong with it. She doesn't get picked on in school and most kids look up to her. She has a bf and he's just as sweet as she is. He respects her very much. Kids talk to her about everything and she gives them honest answers about respecting themselves and their bodies. I think that she's great, but, according to a lot of you, she's weird and I am a bad mom for letting her do this.
Am I? Show me what the big deal is?forgive the eyes, the light hit her at the wrong time.
Edit: I want to thank all of you precious ladies who gave me such encouraging words. I have met so many moms not just on here but in other places who look at my DD and then tell me that they would never allow their kids to look so (and I quote) "weird or hideous". I used to get angry. But lately, I had begun to question myself as a mom. My DD has never heard what other moms have said about her and I will never tell her. I know that it would really hurt her and that's truly ashamed because if the kids don't judge her, what gives the parents the right to judge her? You guys (I want to say y'all but, I know that you all are not from the South and I want to be a little more grammatically correct) are so wonderful and I have been blessed.
I understand that you didn't allow it. But why?
Quoting atlmom2:
I didn't allow it. They never asked but probably they knew the answer. At 18 and 21 they wouldn't. Not knocking you dd. Not for my girls.

I missed the posts you're referencing but from my own experience with my kids, I don't see anything wrong with you or your daughgter. Let her have fun. My sons were hell bent on expressing themselves. I did oppose in the beginning but I would look at them one day and would see platinum blond hair, ripped up jeans etc and the next one would have bright red hair..so I figured as long as the grades were o.k., they're not hurting themselves or anyone and they're not getting picked on, so why not. Let them have fun expressing themselves and get it out of their system while they're young. Most of the times its a passing phase anyway.
I think she looks just fine and it sounds like she is a great person. Who cares what other moms say. They are judging your daughter (and you I guess) by looks...and not stopping to hear what is on the inside. =)
I think your daughter looks beautiful and age appropriate! I would rather my daughter have a unique style, than try to look older than she is, with revealing clothes and fake nails. Honestly, when I was in high school and from what I see at my daughter's middle school, the "scene" girls as my daughter calls it seem more well adjusted than the so called popular crowd.
She needs to look fierce, because she is so sweet. Girls do that. Piercings grow in. Hair grows out. Nothing permanent. As far as the music, my tiny preppy SD listens to much "angrier" music than my daughter-who-was-goth/punk ever did.
Here's my DD and a few of her phases. As you can see, I have no problem with expression...
Her at Prom a few years ago and her shoes...the shoes made the outfit lol
One of her through the years..
Is she honest ,compassionate ,ethical ,respectful,beginning to make plans for her future,hopefully making grades that will help her get into any college or training she needs ?
If so then I see no issues with how she dresses.
That doesn't fit my kids or family's style but that is MY family.Your family needs to fit your family's style.
Love her prom outfit ...FANTASTIC shoes.
Not quite as unique but my daughter wore a kind of Marilyn Monroe ,a little more modest , 7 year itch style dress for her sweet sixteen with PINK western boots.We talked about her shoe choice ,she felt strongly so they are just shoes.My mother was frantic ,my sister finally told my mom just to stop.That my daughter was who she is and those that knew her loved her for being who she is.Despite my moms dire predictions of my daughter's future based on her non traditional choice of footwear my daughter graduated with honors ,college freshman class pres ,was an officer in Cotillion ,currently an officer in her sorority.and in her nursing association on campus.Even if she dresses a bit outside the norm....imagine that ; )

Music and sports against poverty
The latest data from the Philippine Statistics Authority's Annual Poverty Survey shows that poverty has increased by almost five percent, from 25.8 percent to 24.6 percent in 2013 to 2014 due to higher food prices and the lingering effects of major devastations such as Typhoon Yolanda.
As part of its efforts to effect positive change in the Philippines, JCI Manila has been exploring alternative efforts to alleviate poverty on top of its fundraising and community initiatives. And they have found two promising platforms: music and sports. Their area of focus: Smokey Mountain, a former landfill that is now a resettlement site for Manila's impoverished families.
Through the Smokey Mountain Music Academy and the Football Club, members train coaches and residents to play music and sports as part of their education curriculum.
Says Steve Baltao, JCI Manila president, "Filipinos are one of the most musical people on earth. Teaching children this gift, allowing them to communicate through words and song – it's not just an emotional outlet – it helps develop other skills such as collaboration and cooperation – which can help them lift their lives out of poverty."
It is not just the children who benefit from music education; their communities stand to gain much as well. A study released by the Inter-American Development bank shows a positive correlation between music education, school attendance, better grades, and enrollment. This can be attributed to music strengthening skills such as language, reading, and memory, which are critical to the learning process.
Meanwhile, the positive effect of sports on childhood development has been extensively proven, with outcomes lasting well into adulthood. Aside from the natural physical development inherent in any sports activity, team-based sports also build character through inclusiveness, sportsmanship, camaraderie, and even strategy. Strengthening the body is also a vital result of sports; in poverty-stricken areas, there is no greater danger than illness.
Continues Baltao, "To paraphrase Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, the tragedy of poverty is not the lack of food or shelter; it is the feeling of being nobody. JCI Manila established the music and sports programs at Smokey Mountain to show the next generation that there is hope, and that they are part of the future. They just need to cooperate and collaborate as they would in sports or music – and these same values can be used to help them out of their situations."
JCI Manila is currently accepting applicants for membership through to Aug. 25. For more information, visit http://bit.lyjcimanilagnmo, www.jcimanila.org, like JCI Manila on Facebook, and follow @JCIManilaPH on Twitter.

Cricket: Cook tells England team to pull rank
ALASTAIR COOK has challenged the England team to prove they are worthy of their No.1 ranking with a show of force against world champions India.
As I said at the time, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly we got there
England hit top spot in the one-day format last year but captain Cook still needs convincing that his team really are the best 50-over unit on the planet.
"As I said at the time, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly we got there," said Cook ahead of today's opening game in a five-match series.
"We won 80 per cent of the games last year so that shows we're worth it, but at the time I didn't feel like we were the No.1 side because we have so much development to do.
"If we won here it would convince me. It would prove that we are No.1 and that we can handle a lot of conditions."
Cook's caution is understandable. Of England's 12 victories in 2012, eight were at home.
The other four came in a whitewash against the unpredictable Pakistanis in the Middle East.
The series before that, England lost 5-0 in India.
"Although it was 5-0, we lost a lot of those games by small margins and just one of their players took it away from us," said Cook.
"Clearly we are the underdogs. But if you look through our side we have got a lot of firepower and a lot of world-class players.
"For us to win the series everyone in our squad is going to have to play out of our skin."
In the absence of Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler and Joe Root have the chance to push their batting claims.
Among the pace bowlers on trial, Stuart Meaker, Jade Dernbach and Chris Woakes all need to do more than they did in the warm-up games.

Murder site social club demolished
A social club just yards from where a teenager was murdered has been bulldozed.
Sixteen-year-old Ben Morutare from Walsall was found dead near to The Smethwick Home Guard and Old Comrades Club in Smethwick in July.
The club, which became a target for arsonists after it closed following the murder, has now been razed to the ground.
The social club was closed after the death of the teenager from Coalpool, on August 1.
Ben was found with stab wounds to the leg on grass near to the Oldbury Road club where he had attended an 18th birthday party. He died at Birmingham Children's Hospital.
Following the death boss Bal Sangha said she had been forced to consider knocking it down because of strict conditions imposed by police. Officers demanded security be beefed up at the club and wanted door staff.
But owners said people would not use the venue if prices had to be increased to cover the extra cost of the door staff and more money could be made knocking the building down to make way for flats.
The owners were today unavailable for comment.

May 20, 2014 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
With a few more days to go before the Section III Class AA playoffs launch, the West Genesee baseball team still had important business to attend to – namely, ending a drought of outright league championships that stretched back more than three decades.
In order to secure the CNY Counties League American division regular-season title, the Wildcats had to win at Fayetteville-Manlius Monday afternoon, and though there were all kinds of nervous moments, WG pulled it off, edging the Hornets 6-5.
Having long separated from the rest of the league contenders, the Wildcats and Hornets held the top two spots, but F-M had the edge head-to-head, based on beating WG 7-6 on May 7 in Camillus.
Less than two weeks later, the two sides reunited, with WG pitcher Seamus Barry looking to follow up his strong effort in a 4-0 shutout over Cicero-North Syracuse as he opposed John Schurman, F-M's top hurler this spring, sporting a 4-1 mark.
Barry never got out of the second inning, though, struggling with his control. He left with arm trouble with the bases loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the second and the game tied, 1-1, with Evan Reichel replacing him.
On the first pitch he threw, Reichel surrendered a two-run single to Anthony Nucerino, which put the Hornets in front, 3-1, but settled down and proceeded to blank the Hornets over the next four innings.
By then, the Wildcats were back in front, 5-3, thanks to a four-run third inning where it got just one hit off Schurman, but benefited from a series of F-M errors that kept the inning alive.
Not only did Reichel pitch well, he also delivered an RBI single in the top of the sixth to extend WG's lead to 6-3. In the bottom of the sixth, Reichel tired, and F-M tagged him for two runs, one of them racing home on Josh Loeffler's triple.
One more time, though, Reichel bore down, getting Mike Hoalcraft to pop out with the tying run on third. Taking no chances, the Wildcats brought in pitching ace Bailey Gauthier, who set the Hornets down in the bottom of the seventh for the save – and a league championship.

A shelter from the rain and the taxman
The recent surge in the prime property market can be partly explained by the fact that more wealthy people are investing in property as a way of reducing the punitive impact of the 50 per cent tax rate.
Angela Beech, head of personal tax at Blick Rosenberg Accountants, said many investors were setting up companies, particularly off-shore vehicles, to buy properties rather than doing so in their own name.
A company is set up, money is injected into the company, shares are issued to the director (the property investor or his family) and then the company buys the property. The houses are treated as company stock. When it is time to move, the investor can sell the shares in the company rather than registering the…

Well, I'm kinda new to quilting. My mother taught me sometime last year and I've been working at it since.
I am asking for help because I would like to make a quilt for someone very special. He has been blind and deaf since birth. He has what is called "pin vision" in one eye. Which means he can see about as much as the size of a pin out of one eye.
He lives in a home that my mom works at. Mom heart just aches when she sees him because although he has taught himself a wealth of things throughout his life, he still seems like a lost soul sometimes. For instance, he sometimes lays on the floor curled in a ball because he likes the feel of the sunlight coming in through the window... He mostly communicates by touch. For example. They have a little wall hanging with pockets in his room and if it's supper time and my mom puts a spoon in the pocket and directs him to the wall hanging and he feels the spoon and heads for the kitchen. If they put a piece of coral in the pocket, he knows he's going to get to swim that day and his face just lights up.
Anyway, I would like to make a quilt for him. I was thinking maybe something with alot of different textures so that he could feel each one individually. I'm asking for any help or input that anyone could give. Whether it's design, fabric suggestions or anything else that you can think of that might help. THANKS!!!

Carla K. Johnson, AP
Uninsured patients with traumatic injuries, such as car crashes, falls and gunshot wounds, were almost twice as likely to die in the hospital as similarly injured patients with health insurance, according to a new study. The findings by Harvard University researchers surprised doctors and health experts who have believed emergency room care was equitable.
The study appears in the November issue of Archives of Surgery. Researchers couldn't pin down the reasons behind the differences. The uninsured might experience more delays being transferred from hospital to hospital. Or they might get different care. Or they could have more trouble communicating with doctors. The hospitals that treat them also could have fewer resources.
The researchers took into account the severity of the injuries and the patients' race, gender and age. After those adjustments, they still found the uninsured were 80 percent more likely to die than those with insurance — even low-income patients insured by the government's Medicaid program.
Federal law requires hospital ERs to treat all patients who are medically unstable, but hospitals can transfer patients, or send them away, once they're stabilized. A transfer could worsen a patient's condition by delaying treatment.
The researchers analyzed data on nearly 690,000 U.S. patients from 2002 through 2006. In the study, the overall death rate was 4.7 percent, so most emergency room patients survived their injuries. The commercially insured patients had a death rate of 3.3 percent. The uninsured patients' death rate was 5.7 percent. Those rates were before the adjustments for other risk factors.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Neuroendocrine Cancer Awareness Network Inc, North Bellmore, NY, USA
When I was first diagnosed with carcinoid cancer, my oncologist told me there was nothing to be done but an injection once a month, then maybe clinical trials when that quit helping. I was reluctant to search the internet and pick up false hope chasing windmills and fake cures. But, I finally decided I had to turn to the internet, because I was getting no information about the disease from my doctor. I found CCAN, requested their information packet, watched videos from the conferences they put together. I was amazed at just how much more could be done to help me than what I had been told. And I have sought out that help. I am so very grateful to CCAN for all they do.

Instead, it would set up a process under which reimbursement rates could increase slowly each year, capped at 3 percent, based on a cost-of-living increase similar to the one used to calculate increases in Social Security benefits. Paul said this change would remove much of the current uncertainty surrounding the reimbursement rate, which, if cut, could lead to a significant drop in access to medical care.
"As an eye surgeon, many of my patients are seniors, and many of those seniors are Medicare recipients," Paul said. "Medicare, in its constant quest to save money, cuts physician reimbursement and in turn puts America's seniors at risk of losing their access to quality healthcare. I know the value of quality care, and I want to ensure our nation's seniors continue to get it."
Paul said his bill would prevent a cut of about 30 percent to Medicare reimbursements next year, which represents cuts due under the current formula that have been avoided each year. He also said he would pay for this change by repealing expanded healthcare subsidies under the 2010 healthcare law.

Thanks in advance!
There is a radio thread in the developement forum with all the files and instructions you need, follow them closely. You can flash whichever radio you want in that thread and I don't think there is a clear way to tell which is "best" unless you know someone in your area that has tested the different radios, it depends on your location, carrier, distance from tower, etc. Some give more siganl but drain battery faster, some are battery meisters but siganal is not so good. Try a few and see what works best for you, just remember to follow the instructions carefully.
sent from my Desire Z using XDA premium app
hey man thanks for the reply.
i dont know if there are specific radios for the desire z cuz i have the desire z hboot. the radio i flashed is the same one i had when i had the g2 hboot. you think that their might be a radio specifically for the desire z or is the hboot outdated?? ill have to look into that.
thanks again for the reply!
Agree with Redpoint73,earpiece issue is ROM or hardware,I assume you also wiped the EFS data ? Good practise but not sure will help your problem, no need to "update" your hboot, nothing to be gained.
Wipe your cache and see if that helps,if not try a different ROM ILWT CM 7 is a good effort

Marketplace for Thursday July 24, 2014
Facebook's blow-the-roof off earnings report shows that it has figured out mobile, and is set to dominate the mobile ad world. So how did that happen, and what comes next? Plus, in its latest earnings report, automaker GM has revealed that it expects to spend between $400 million and $600 million to compensate victims of its defective ignition switches. We consider the company's strategy in handling its massive recall. Also, Twitter released its diversity statistics yesterday. Not surprisingly, they were as dismal as those at Google, Facebook and other tech companies. So now that they know the scope of the problem, what are these companies doing to address it?
