Brennan: Te'o caught in seemingly well-rehearsed lie
- The image of Manti Te%27o as naive runs counter to how he comes across in Katie Couric interview
- He comes across%2C with his answers%2C as coy and savvy
- Perhaps only when he faces the media in a live session will the full truths emerge
We've been told, by way of explanation, that Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o was a naïve, trusting, big-hearted kid who was so in love and so kind and so gullible that he was the perfect target for the now-infamous online girlfriend hoax.
So who was that coy, savvy, self-assured, coached-up fellow sitting on the set of Katie Couric's show? The one who threw the tough questions right back at Couric in the snippets of an interview that aired Wednesday on Good Morning America?
If that was the real Te'o, who's hoaxing whom here?
In the short clip of the full interview that airs Thursday on the syndicated Katie, Couric homes right in on a key part of this bizarre saga: why Te'o kept talking about his dead girlfriend even though he knew she never existed.
"You stuck to the script and you knew that something was amiss, Manti," Couric said.
"Correct," Te'o replied.
"Well ... anybody, put yourself in my situation," Te'o replied with a slight smile. "Katie, put yourself in my situation. ... This girl, who I committed myself to, died on September 12. Now I get a phone call on December 6 saying that she's alive and then I'm going to be put on national TV two days later, and to ask me about the same question. You know, what would you do?"
He must be asking because he thinks everyone would do what he did: Lie.
Te'o told Couric he lied about the hoax only in December -- and presumably not in November, or October, or September. The Associated Press found a Web interview Dec. 8 and a newspaper interview published Dec. 10 in which Te'o talked about his dead girlfriend after he found out she didn't exist, as we now know.
So he lied. There's no doubt about that. Then again, it certainly wasn't the world's biggest lie. It probably wasn't the biggest lie told either of those two days in the state of Indiana. Te'o is not an elected official; he's a college football player who became famous during the past season and came in second in the voting for the Heisman Trophy. He represents no one but himself and his school, Notre Dame.
However, a big part of the Te'o story has been his compelling backstory: how he handled the tragedy of his dead girlfriend, his overall sportsmanship and honor, his strong leadership qualities. All of that has been called into question not just because of how he lied to protect himself, but how he now has presented himself in the Couric interview.
Perhaps the clips that were provided are not representative of the entire interview. Perhaps he's sweet and kind and innocent at every other moment, certain to bring both grandmothers and general managers to tears.
We'll find out soon enough. But if these clips are indicative of the full interview, we still have an incomplete and confusing image of a player we once thought we knew.
"Whenever someone answers a question with a question, that's a bad sign, a red flag, because it's not an honest answer, it's a way of deferring an honest answer," said David Bernknopf, a crisis communications expert with SplendidVid in Atlanta. "It felt to me like that was something that had been cooked up in a practice session: 'When the questions come, put it back on Katie, put it back on the audience.'
"The idea that he is saying, 'I made a little lie,' that's where he gets into trouble," Bernknopf continued. "I hope he's telling the truth now, but it makes you wonder how much the Heisman and the national championship PR machine either encouraged him to not be completely truthful or put pressure on him to the point where he decided he couldn't be truthful."
Of this we can be certain: there is much more to come in the strange story of Manti T'eo. Although he has talked to ESPN and Couric, he still hasn't faced reporters at a news conference. We still don't know what the NFL will make of him, and when and where he will be drafted.
But we do know he just aced Public Relations 101.

You see them on TV on variety shows and in commercials. They look utterly perfect. But are they?
Japanese manga Helter Skelter explores these issues. It follows Japanese superstar Ririko, whose seemingly flawless appearance is the result of extensive plastic surgery that requires constant care and attention.
After the beauty clinic she frequents comes under investigation, Ririko's perfect body starts falling apart—and so does her sanity.
This summer, Manga Helter Skelter is getting a big screen adaptation. Like the manga, the movie looks to be a biting criticism of the Japanese celebrity complex.
The film stars the often troubled Erika Sawajiri, and Helter Skelter marks a comeback of sorts for her. That, or a big eff you to the Japanese entertainment industry. I can't decide which.

We first learned about Starbucks's plan for World Juice Domination back in November when they purchased juice company Evolution Fresh. Now, lo these many months later, the first Evolution Fresh store has opened in Bellevue, Washington, and, well, it sort of looks like what you'd get if a Whole Foods and a Starbucks mated. You can buy pre-made juice or order your own mixture, plus you can get wraps and salads and the like. The only problem? They've started things off by displaying a huge poster with a silly typo that informs customers that, "Most fruits and vegatables are fat free and cholesterol free." Is it a bad sign that a company that's all about fruits and veggies can't spell vegetables properly? Hmm, probably only a little bit worse than the fact that Starbucks routinely butcher their customers' names when writing them on the cups. (Cazey, your latte is ready!) Let's just hope the quality control on the actual juice-making is a little more strict.

Aside from being a good blogging tool, WordPress is also a lightweight content management system that can be used to run such diverse sites as news or magazine publications, personal and organizational websites.
I recently started accepting paid web development work and website management. Several weeks back, I bought a domain, Tugkaran.com (from the Bisaya word for staging ground), and created a static HTML page as placeholder because I did not have time to configure WordPress to run the site.
But when one of my projects was about to go live, I needed to quickly build Tugkaran because I already placed a link to it in the footer. I spent whatever time I could spare from newsroom and web development work building Tugkaran, 30 minutes or so here, an hour there, a few minutes here.
It took me five hours to go from sketching the site on paper, protoyping the design in HTML, and setting up WordPress with the custom theme. The site was designed "live." Developing it locally and then replicating the work in the server would take more time—which I didn't have.
The Tugkaran website still needs a lot of work but it will do for now. I'll polish it when I have more time. If you want to study the files I worked on, you can download it at the end of this post.

Last year when my daughter was 8 years old, I took her to the San Francisco Opera's shortened version of Carmen for families. She was enchanted by the elaborate costumes, the richly textured voices and the bustling pageantry, and when I tucked her into bed that night she was humming Bizet's beloved aria Habanera.
She was thrilled—yet also irritated because she didn't get to see the full performance and missed an entire act. She felt cheated.
Ever since my daughter has been asking me to take her to a "real" opera, and last weekend her dream finally came true.
At age 9, my daughter stepped inside the grand War Memorial Opera House, following the parade of silver-haired couples, distinguished gentleman in tuxedos and elegant ladies wearing flowing silk gowns, velvet veiled hats, and sparkling high heels.
As her mother, I was a little nervous. Could my energetic and callow child sit through two-and-a-half hours of Verdi's Rigoletto?
Her record is mixed: She intently watched an entire Giants baseball game, refusing to leave her seat to get food because she didn't want to miss an important play. But she also asked to leave the animated film Brave only 15 minutes into the show. "I don't like it. Too scary. Too loud. I want to go," she said, and so we left.
My mom gut told me that opera was right up her alley. My daughter likes tea parties, hoop skirts and books that take place in the 1800s. Her favorite movie is "Singing in the Rain." She insists that our family eat dinner off placemats, refuses to wear shorts that don't fall below her knees and often says things like "I wish I grew up in a time when there were no computers." She longs for the alluring "good old days" and sometimes seems like a lost soul trapped in a world of iPhones, short-shorts and action films—all things she loathes. For some reason, I felt like opera fits in with all of this.
I bought the cheapest seats. $27. In the very back of the balcony. Far to the side.
I didn't want to spend a lot in case we left after the first act. Plus, we don't have the sort of lifestyle that allows us to spend $500 on a night out (any extra money goes to college savings or trying to keep our 10-year-old car running). But the woman at the ticket office assured me that they were still good seats. "You actually get the best sound in the back," she said.
"I'm bringing my daughter," I told her hesitantly.
"How old is she?"
There was a pause. I considered backing out. I recalled the tantrum my daughter had thrown last week. She's only a child. Nine is too young, I thought.
She jumped into the silence with a reassuring, "That's a good age to start!"
(Note to anyone who is inspired to go the opera from this story: We bought our tickets on the morning of the performance.)
We had fun getting ready.
From the back of my closet, I pulled a vintage velvet dress that I'd purchased at a flea market years ago. After a little dusting, the dress looked like something a well-heeled lady would buy at a posh boutique.
My daughter decided to wear a gray and pink silk skirt with a matching top that a friend passed down to her—an absolutely gorgeous outfit that was originally purchased by her friend's father in Paris.
We curled our hair and finished off our outfits with glittering necklaces.
We weren't dressed in Neiman Marcus frocks, but we looked fabulous.
My plan was to grab a quick bite near the Opera House at The Grove, a casual, affordable eatery with kid-friendly food.
My daughter took a peek inside, "Oh nooo, we can't go in there dressed like this. We need to go somewhere fancy."
Soon we found ourselves talking to the hostess at Bistro Absinthe, a lively spot that's done up like a Parisian brasserie with cafe tables and antique posters. The sort of place that you'd expect to find during the Belle Epoque, an era my daughter would probably enjoy if time travel were an option.
Phew! One table left.
I pulled out my phone to take a photo of my daughter looking at the menu. She was pondering whether to order the gazpacho or a corn soup—and I was so amazed that she wasn't demanding a kids' menu. She was rising to the occasion and growing up before my eyes. I wanted to capture the moment.
"Mom, put away your phone," she told me in a hushed, embarrassed voice. "This is a fancy restaurant. People don't take out their phones in places like this."
We talked about our favorite (and least) favorite books throughout most of the meal. "Everyone loves Stuart Little, but I just don't like it," she said. "People families don't have mice as children. It doesn't make sense. Stuart Little is just weird."
I won't attempt to write about the actual opera or review it because my most memorable opera moment is watching Pretty Woman as a teen and being touched when Vivian (played by Julia Roberts) was moved to tears by La Traviata, which tells the story of a rich man tragically falling in love with a courtesan.
I'd never been to the opera until Saturday night. My parents never listened to opera. Because of my daughter's interest in opera, I borrowed a Madame Butterfly CD from the public library and we listened to it in the car a few times. This is all new to me and I'm officially an opera ignoramus.
But I will tell you that my daughter was mesmerized by the performance about a court jester named Rigoletto, whose daughter, Gilda, falls in love with a flirtatious, noncommittal Duke. She sat silently and only let out a faint "ewww!" when Gilda kissed the Duke. After the embrace, the lovesick woman lay on the ground singing, fluctuating her voice, sending out beautiful, pure sounds that fluttered about the opera house like butterflies.
I looked over at my daughter and her hand was over her chest, her mouth was wide open wide and her brown eyes were the size of saucers. As the audience clapped loudly, she said, "Oh my, Mommy! Her voice sounds like a flute. It's so pretty."
At intermission, I told her that we could leave—and she looked at me as if I were telling her that we could just skip Christmas.
We returned to our velvet seats. "Oh mommy, they feel so soft," she said. "Much fancier than going to the movies."
The third act was intense, and Gilda, Rigoletto's beloved daughter, gets stabbed. In moments like this my daughter often wants to leave the theater or turn off the movie, but at the opera she stayed glued to her seat because the actual act of violence was brief. While today's movies depict action around death, Rigoletto focused on the aftermath and the unbearable sadness that the father felt as he was saying goodbye to his dying daughter. This brought my daughter to tears but it felt real and by then she was so attached to the characters that she couldn't leave.
When it was all over she clapped wildly and kept looking over at me and saying, "That was so good."
Most of the opera patrons looked at my daughter and smiled, and the usher who directed us to our seats said, "It's so nice to see a young face."
But we also received several dirty looks. In line for a cookie during intermission, my daughter shook some Tic Tacs into her hand and a lone Tic Tac fell onto the ground. She bent down and started to scurry after it, and I just said, "Leave it." The man standing behind us looked at me as if my daughter were a dog pooping on his lawn.
The frumpily dressed couple sitting next to us looked at my daughter with disapproval. I could practically hear them thinking, We didn't come to the opera to sit next to a child. And I caught an old woman muttering something about children under her breath in the restroom.
But what I'd say to these people who were irritated by the sight of my 9-year-old scuffling across the cool marble floors in sagging tights and shoes that are too big, the opera needs her. She's enthusiastic and in love and after the show was done, she asked when we'd return. She's got me thinking about investing in season tickets (in the back balcony, of course) and I'd be surprised if she doesn't turn into a regular opera patron.
We sat among a sea of empty seats, and my daughter was quite disturbed by the vacancies and troubled that the show wasn't sold-out.
"Mommy, why aren't there more people here?" she asked. "If I could, I would come every night."

Dickey getting bird's-eye view of knuckleball
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- R.A. Dickey is getting a new look at his signature knuckleball: the view from atop his catcher's helmet.
Dickey asked Erik Kratz to attach a GoPro camera to the top of his helmet while catching the knuckleballer's bullpen session on Wednesday morning, and Dickey planned to review the film for his own benefit.
"The more information for me, the better. It's good to get kind of a real unique perspective," Dickey said. "When you can put a camera on top of a catcher's mask, I can really see my body as it comes down the slopes, see mechanically what it does. That camera in particular is high-definition so I can see rotation and things like that. It gives me great feedback, which is why I wanted to use it."
Named the Opening Day starter on Tuesday by manager John Gibbons, Dickey called the appointment "special" and "an honour to represent not only a team, but a country, on the first night of the year.
"I never take something like that lightly," Dickey said. "My story is such that those kind of experiences are highly valued."
The movement on Dickey's knuckleball early on this spring has impressed Gibbons.
"I don't want to catch it, I know that," Gibbons said.

The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples of ChristBy Rev. Andrew Murray
Chapter 4 Faith
"Blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of the things which were told her from the Lord" kjv@Luke:1:45.
"I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me" kjv@Acts:27:25.
"Abraham was strong in faith, being fully persuaded that what He had promised, He was able also to perform" kjv@Romans:4:20-21.
God has asked you to take and lay up His Word in your heart. The Word is taken and received into the innermost depths of your heart through the avenue of faith. Let the young Christian take pains to better understand what faith is. He will, then gain an insight into the reasons why such great things are connected to faith. He will have a perfect belief in the idea that full salvation is dependent upon faith ( kjv@2Chronicles:20:20 kjv@Mark:9:23 kjv@Hebrews:11:33-35 kjv@1John:5:4-5).
Let me now ask my reader to read over the three texts which stand above. Find out what the principal thought is that they teach about faith. Please, do not read beyond them. First read these words of God and ask yourself what they teach you about faith.
They help us to see that faith always attaches itself to what God has said or promised. When an honorable man says anything, he also does it. So it is with God. Before He does anything, He reveals it through His Word. When the Christian becomes possessed with this conviction-established in it-God always does what He has said. With God, speaking and doing always go together. The deed always follows the Word. "Hath He said, and shall He not do it?" ( kjv@Numbers:23:19) ( kjv@Genesis:21:1 kjv@Genesis:32:12 kjv@Numbers:14:17-18 kjv@Numbers:14:20 kjv@Joshua:21:45 kjv@Joshua:23:14 kjv@2Samuel:7:25 kjv@2Samuel:7:29 kjv@Psalms:119:49). When I have a Word of God in which He promises to do something, I can always be sure that He will do it. I simply have to believe the Word and wait upon God. God will fulfill His Word to me. Before I feel or experience anything, I hold onto that promise. I know by faith that God will make it good to me ( kjv@Luke:1:38 kjv@Luke:1:45 kjv@John:3:33 kjv@John:4:50 kjv@John:11:40 kjv@John:20:29 kjv@Hebrews:11:11 kjv@Hebrews:11:18).
What then is faith? Nothing other than the certainty that what God says is true. When God says that something exists, then faith rejoices although it sees nothing of it ( kjv@Romans:1:17 kjv@Romans:4:5 kjv@Romans:5:1 kjv@Galatians:3:27 kjv@Ephesians:1:19 kjv@Ephesians:3:17). When God says that He has given me something, that something in heaven is mine, I know by faith that it truly is mine ( kjv@John:3:16-17 kjv@John:3:36 kjv@1John:5:12-13). With faith, I am able to believe God when He says that something will come to pass, or that He will do something for me ( kjv@Romans:8:38 kjv@Philippians:3:21 kjv@1Thessalonians:5:24 kjv@1Peter:1:4-5). Faith secures those things that are, but that I have not yet seen, and that are not yet, but will come. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" ( kjv@Hebrews:11:1). Faith always asks only for what God has said, and then relies on His faithfulness and power to fulfill His Word.
Let us review again the words of Scripture. Of Mary we read, "Blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a performance of the things which were told her from the Lord." All things that have been spoken in the Word will be fulfilled for me. Therefore, I believe them.
It is reported that Abraham was fully assured that God would fulfill what He had promised him. This is the assurance of faith--to be assured that God will do what He has promised.
It is written in the Word about Paul, "I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me." It stood fixed with him that God would do what He had spoken.
Young disciples in Christ, the new and eternal life in you is a life of faith. And do you not see how simple and blessed that life of faith is? Every day I go to the Word and hear what God has said that He has done and will do ( kjv@Galatians:2:20 kjv@Galatians:3:2 kjv@Galatians:3:5 kjv@Galatians:5:5-6, kjv@Hebrews:10:35 kjv@1Peter:1:3). I take time to house in my heart the Word in which God says that. I hold it firmly, entirely assured that what God has promised He is able to perform. And then, in a childlike spirit, I await the fulfillment of all the promises of His Word. And my soul experiences--Blessed is she that believed, for the things that have been spoken to her from the Lord will be fulfilled. God promises-I believe-God fulfills. That is the secret of the new life.
Father, Your child thanks You for this blessed life of faith in which we have to walk. I can do nothing, but You can do all. All that You can do has been spoken in Your Word. Every Word that I take and trustfully bring to You is fulfilled. Father, in this life of faith, so simple, so glorious, I will walk with You. Amen.
1. The Christian must read and search the Scriptures to increase his knowledge. For this reason, he reads one or more principal passages daily. He reads the Scriptures to also strengthen his faith. To achieve this he must take one or two verses and make them the subject of special reflection.
2. Do not allow yourselves to be led astray by those who speak of faith as something great and unintelligible. Faith is nothing more than the certainty that God speaks the truth. Take some promises of God and say to Him, "I know for certain that this promise is truth, and that You will fulfill it." He will do it.
3. Never mourn over unbelief as if it were a weakness which you cannot help. As God's child, however weak you may be, you have the power to believe because the Spirit of God is in you. Keep this in mind--no one understands anything unless he has the power to believe. He must simply begin and continue to say to the Lord that he is sure that His Word is truth. He must securely hold the promise and trust God for the fulfillment.

About Us
Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/5/2014 (2404 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The roadside sign still reads Eye Opener Diner but, because of legalities, the name of this excellent little place has been changed to the Red Eye Diner (the sign will eventually be replaced). For years its breakfasts drew a clientele from the most distant suburbs, but after it was sold a few years ago, it slid downhill, and finally closed.
Now the original owners are back and breakfast mavens all over town are celebrating.
It's in a free-standing building just this side of the Perimeter Highway, and, despite the sign, is very easy to miss (it sort of sneaks up on you). The cheery interior must have been freshened up over the years, but seems unchanged -- a shiny, retro-diner decor with a classic counter-and-stool set-up, chairs and booths comfortably padded with gold-speckled tomato-red vinyl, and vintage black-and-white photos of long-gone movie stars on the white walls. It is open daily at 8 a.m. (9 a.m. on Sundays) and takes orders until 2 p.m. only. On the other hand, it remains open on most holidays (but will be closed on long weekends during the summer).
Almost everything is made from scratch, with fresh local ingredients whenever possible, including the luscious jams, which come in pretty little ceramic pots (for sale in jars as well). The Vita Health eggs are free-run and organic, the coffee always tastes freshly made and the refills are endless.
There are a few rarities among the more usual, familiar breakfasts. Fresh pickerel, for instance, which isn't on the printed menu but turns up often as a daily special. Sweet-fleshed and moist, it is simply sautéed, and simply delicious. As a breakfast dish, it is paired with eggs and hash browns; at lunch it comes with terrific crunchy fries.
Eggs Benedict come with good hash browns and a generous bowl of various fresh fruits. You can have the classic Benedict with ham, alternately with bacon, or with fresh wild salmon and asparagus ($12 to $13). Three-egg omelets aren't fluffy, but they are tasty and satisfying -- some are such standards as ham and cheddar, a Denver or a western, but there are also trendier specials, i.e. with goat cheese (and plenty of it) and freshly cooked spinach, all with hash browns and toast ($12 to $14).
Classic Breakfasts range from $5 for two eggs to $14 for a six-ounce AAA sirloin, both with hash browns and toast, and include such other options as a croissant stuffed with scrambled eggs, bacon and cheddar, with a fruit bowl on the side; the North End Special of two eggs with kubasa and potato pancakes; and French toast and buttermilk pancakes.
I found the potato pancakes -- made with mashed instead of grated raw potatoes -- too dry, but one day's special of blueberry pancakes was heavenly. Four of us had planned to share an order for dessert but (and it's in the nature of the wonderful service here) instead of bringing us a stack, they prepared four small ones so we each had our own little pancake -- so good it never occurred to us to add syrup.
The Red Eye may be best known for its breakfasts, but it's also a good place for lunch. Burgers don't come much better than the Swiss burger -- a big, juicy patty of flavourful beef, decked out with sautéed mushrooms, onions and melted Swiss cheese on a dense, eggy bun ($13, with fries). Classic Sandwiches range from $4 to $5.50, among them, our almost inch-thick country ham sandwich with lettuce. Other choices include corned beef, roast beef and a BLT. A top-notch Reuben is listed under Specialty Sandwiches, which cost from $12 to $13, and come with both soup of the day and fries. Other Specialty listings are a clubhouse of grilled chicken, ham and bacon on a ciabatta bun, a steak sandwich on garlic toast and a hot-beef sandwich on Texas toast with gravy.
Soups vary from day to day, and the two I tried were delicious: a lightly creamed seafood chowder that was packed with an assortment of fish, as well as shrimp and crabmeat; and a savoury potato soup with bits of sausage ($4.50 to $6).
There was only one pastry in the showcase on my visits, but it was a great one -- an exceptional lemon meringue tart, tasting of fresh lemon, with a fine crust and an almost gossamer meringue topping. On other days, there might be banana cream tart, blueberry banana or raspberry cheesecake tarts or banana bread ($4 to $5).
The vibes are downright jolly. The Red Eye is a family affair run by Janet and Fred Bauer, assisted by daughter Sarah and a staff that seem to be part of the family, who are all so welcoming and attentive you may feel like part of the family, too. Reservations aren't accepted, but the service is brisk and the turnover fairly rapid so you'll never have long to wait. If you like lingering, time your visit for after the breakfast or lunch rushes.
Cash or debit cards only.

AUSTIN (AP) - Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis, the Democrat who filibustered an abortion law for nearly 13 hours, is running for governor, two people with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Two Democrats spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because they did not want to pre-empt her formal announcement scheduled for next week.
Davis campaign spokesman Hector Nieto would not confirm that Davis is running.
"As senator, Davis told grass-roots supporters last week via email, she's made a decision and she looks forward to making her decision public on Oct. 3," Nieto said.
Republican Attorney General Greg Abbott announced his candidacy this summer and is the early favorite to succeed Gov. Rick Perry, who is not seeking re-election after 14 years in office.
No other Democrat has expressed interest in running for governor in Texas, where a Democrat hasn't won a statewide office in 20 years. Experts say Davis would need to raise $40 million to mount a serious campaign. Abbott has raised more than $20 million.
For months, Democrats have urged Davis, 50, to run.
Davis' progressive politics and charisma on the campaign trail have long made her popular among Texas Democrats. But it was her filibuster in the Texas Capitol on June 25 defending women's right to an abortion that won her fame across the U.S. The filibuster helped temporarily block new statewide abortion restrictions. She has attended fundraisers in New York, Washington and San Francisco.
The last Democrat elected governor was the late Ann Richards in 1990. Richards was defeated by George W. Bush in 1994 and Republicans have held the office ever since. The GOP has also held every statewide office in Texas since 1998 and the controlled the Legislature since 2003.

Re: Where have you met other Fett Fans?
I asked sergeant major (Our teacher/coach for ROTC) if i could stitch on a madolorian sign on our navy uniform, of course he said no, but then i asked if he watched any star wars, he said yes, i then asked him which movies/guys do you like? then he said, the clone soliders. when i heard this, i thought he was gonna allow us to wear stromtrooper outfits and march and stuff with the outfits on , that'd be so motha f****** awsome.
Then what he said shocked me, he says "so hawk ( he gives everyone a nickname in ROTC) did you join because of the soliders in star wars? ( he is refering to the clone's when he says soliders)
And then i said, they influenced the decsision alot. he said starship troopers made him think about the military.
And then i told him if it was possible to clone me, and name the clone boba, then he said get out of here troy.
But then he told me,
if i got into the military, and there is a war, that i would be allowed to place symbols on our outfits and what not.

Since being taken over by boxer Bobby Blackwell in 1980, De Barra's has been about two things: beer and folk music
Blackwell was a passionate music lover and he saturated De Barra's in Clonakilty, County Cork, with music in as many ways as possible. Folk music isn't only food for the ears here, it's a feast for the eyes, too. The walls are covered with musical instruments. Watch out for the Picasso-like arrangement of guitars, banjos and fiddles over the fireplace.
Thankfully for all traditional pub lovers, much of De Barra's interior has been largely unchanged. The bar, floor, and a small snug are all original features and the spot beside the fireplace is everyone's favourite.
On the snug's wall is a front-page of a newspaper displaying an account of the Lusitania's sinking in 1915. One or two of the more elderly regulars have been caught spinning survivors' tales to gullible audiences over afternoon pints.
Tall tales aside, the staff of De Barra's are all as musically inclined as Blackwell himself, and each staff member is a gifted musician.
Don't be surprised to see them pick up instruments and jump in with the band on stage.

Deadspin and Gelf Magazine bring you the best (or at least the most interesting) foreign-produced journalism about the London Olympics.
1. Locals Celebrate Bolt's World Record | Jamaica
Usain Bolt is a demigod—or, perhaps, a full-fledged god—in his home village of Sherwood Content, where the Jamaica Observer provided an insider's look at the village's post-world-record celebration.
"To the world! I am on top of the world. I am floating," exclaimed Bolt's aunt Lilian Bolt, who was elegantly captured mid-float by the reporter/photographer.
Once Lilian's nephew crossed the finish line, the Observer reported that "Lilian broke out into wild celebration, dancing to the beat of Mackie Conscious' song entitled Bolt, which was recorded after the phenomenon sprinter's victory at the Olympics in Beijing, China, four years ago."
Bolt supporters in Sherwood Content gathered in the streets, cheering, singing, dancing, and banging on pots and pans. The group then made an informal motorcade to Falmouth, the parish capital, and continued the celebration in historic Water Square.
"A so the ting go, a yah so nice," one reveler shouted.
"Lightning strike twice," said another as he mimicked Bolt's famous pose.
And how did Lilian end the historical night? According to the Observer, she "called upon the government to consider Bolt as a national treasure."
2. After the Gold Medal, The Race Is On for Fastest 'Congrats! | Grenada
Kirani James won the first-ever Olympic medal—a gold in the 400-meter—for Grenada, the tiny Caribbean nation that is roughly the size of Winston-Salem, North Carolina (with less than half of Winston-Salem's population).
The BBC reports that "Grenadians danced, cheered and waved flags in the streets." The prime minister even declared this afternoon a national holiday.
But what's a local success story without a little political grandstanding?
That's exactly why Grenada's New National Party congratulated James and the people of Grenada with an editorial that ran in Spice Grenada at 8:37 pm last night. It was clutch, because it took the party's opposition, the National Democratic Congress, until nearly 11 pm to file their formal congratulations.
Did residents of Grenada think for two a half hours that the National Democratic Congress wasn't proud of the hometown hero? Probably not; it looks like these things are pretty pro forma.
The New National Party congratulated James and "[called] on all Grenadians that in their celebration of this historic achievement that we as a people do so in ways which would make Team Grenada as proud of us as we are of them." The New Democratic Congress's lengthier statement included a quote from their public-relations officer, Arley Gill, (who probably wrote the thing), saying, "The NDC and the rest of the nation are grateful to Kirani and wish him continued success. At the same time, let us continue steadfast in our support of the Grenadian athletes who are still competing at the Olympics." The press release added that "Gill described Government's renaming of Lagoon Road to Kirani James Boulevard, following his World Championship victory in 2011, as a 'visionary act.' "
The Grenada United Labour Party and any other Grenada parties had better start working up their statements quick, as the NDC and NNP are already locked in fierce battle for the most heartfelt congratulations.
3. Morrissey Is Not Pleased With Your Olympics | United Kingdom
At last, a taste of that trademark British cheek we've all heard so much about. Calling the Olympics "lethal to witness," moderately relevant indie demigod Morrissey unloaded on his blog this weekend, sparing from his bile neither the Royal Family nor their close consorts, "Lord and Lady Beckham."
Although the post from the Manchester-raised ex-Smiths frontman is dated to Saturday, the British press didn't report on it until Monday, probably because accusing the media of treating the British public like "undersized pigmies" is a poor lead-in to the magic of Kate's kiss cam.
Still, that over a week was able to pass before someone unleashed the haters seems remarkable.
This is Britain, for Pete's sake—land of Monty Python and the infamous lotto lout. Considering the moratorium, maybe Morrissey's invocation of "1939 Germany" isn't just the hysterical ranting of a shameless celebrity on the cusp of a new world tour. The nation has been rendered "foul with patriotism," he warns ominously, and "no oppositional voice is allowed in the free press."
On the other hand, what exactly is there to oppose about Jessica Ennis's abs?
4. Newspaper Takes The Country's Olympic Efforts To Task | Zimbabwe
With over half of the Olympic games behind us, Zimbabwe finds itself medal-less. One Zimbabwean newspaper, the Herald, believes that such a failure is the fault of the country's Olympic infrastructure, which doesn't do nearly enough to recruit and groom new athletes.
The Herald editorial argues that Zimbabwe came into London hoping to squeeze one last bit of Olympic magic out of its past hero, Kristy Co-ventry, who won a combined seven medals at the Athens and Beijing Olympics. Though Co-ventry, at 28 years old, may be past her prime and the editorial claims that Zimbabwe's Olympics committee was wrong to have put so much faith in her rather than trying to recruit new talent.
"Are we doing enough, as a country, to tap such talent and expose it, the way we did it with Makusha, or we just wait for a lucky break as and when it comes without putting a lot of our efforts into the project?" asks the editorial.
That seems to be a fair question, especially when South Africa is brought into the conversation as a comparison. South Africa took home just one medal at the Beijing games. In response the country redoubled its efforts in training and producing athletes. The result? South Africa has won three gold medals in London, thanks in large part to the arrival of two elite swimmers, Cameron Van der Burgh and Chad le Clos.
The Herald would love to see Zimbabwe take a similar approach, more aggressively recruiting and training athletes, heading into the 2016 Games. Though there is a lot of reforming to be done, as Zimbabwe sent more Olympic officials than athletes to London.
5. Media's Obsession With Gold Medals a Product of the Chinese Sports System | China
In a point/counterpoint editorial in the Global Times, two Chinese writers discuss how the media's obsession with gold medals-and blatant disregard of bronze and silver-came to be.
During this year's Games, China has been noticeably preoccupied with its gold-medal count. Zhang Yiwu, professor and deputy director of the Cultural Resources Research Center of Peking University, said in an interview with the Global Times that he finds this to be "quite natural.
"There are historical reasons why China attaches great importance to gold medals," Zhang writes. He writes that China's war-torn and poverty-stricken history, and China's gold-medal drought before 1984, contributed to the national—and media—obsessions with gold medals. Zhang also blames the media for overstating the country's obsession with gold.
Meanwhile, Liu Yuanju, a Chinese journalist, thinks that the call for paying more attention to athletes "should be encouraged." China's public is not that obsessed with medals this year, Liu writes, citing (again) a more "mature" social mentality rather than a structural problem with the sports system. By the end of the piece Liu seems to think that the media "gold medal fever" isn't even happening: "This is exactly why both new and traditional media are beginning to pay more attention to silver and bronze winners." But, nevertheless, Liu finds this to be a "pleasant" development for Chinese society.

We mean, they did shut down a Fortune 500 company for two-and-a-half days so I'd probably have to say at the moment they are. Be that as it may, I'll be on CNBC's "On The Money" at 7:00 PM EST tonight answering that question among other laborgasmic issues in the wake of the end of the multi-day strike of General Motors and the landmark labor agreement — so turn it on to hear the answer. Or turn it on just to watch Melissa Francis. Either way we'll bet the CNBC folks will be happy.

The league submitted the offer after nearly 11 hours of bargaining Thursday. It's based on the possibility of a 72-game season, starting Dec. 15.
But union president Derek Fisher said it doesn't address all the necessary system issues that are important to the players.
"It does not meet us entirely on the system issues that we felt were extremely important to try and close this thing out, and so at this point we've decided to end things for now, take a step back," Fisher said. "We'll go back as an executive committee, as a board, confer with our player reps and additional players over the next few days. Then we'll make decisions about what our next steps will be at that point."
NBA commissioner David Stern said there's really nothing left to negotiate.
"There comes a time when you have to be through negotiating, and we are," he said. "This is the best attempt by the labour relations committee and therefore the NBA to address the concerns that the players expressed coming out of their meeting of the player representatives."
Hunter said they would try to bring the player representatives to New York by Monday or Tuesday to decide what the next step is, and whether the current offer is acceptable.
"It's not the greatest proposal in the world, but I have an obligation to at least present it to our membership and so that's what we're going to do," Hunter said.
Stern said he didn't expect the players to like every aspect of the revised proposal, saying there were many teams, too, who don't like aspects of the revised offer.
Regardless, it will be better for players than the one that Stern had waiting: a 53-47 split of revenues in the owners' favour, a flex cap with a hard ceiling, and salary rollbacks.
Stern would not speculate on how players would react to the deal.
"I would not presume to project or predict what the union would do," he said. "I can hope and my hope is the events of next week will lead us to a 72-game schedule starting on Dec. 15."
Beyond the salary cap system issues that divide the sides, union executive director Billy Hunter said there were six pages of what he called ancillary items, such as the draft age and the commissioner's disciplinary rights, that still must be addressed before a deal.
"There's not enough progress to get a deal done," Fisher said. "That's the disappointing part. We want to get back on the court."
The union had nearly its entire executive committee in attendance, with Fisher and Hunter joined by players Chris Paul, Maurice Evans, Roger Mason Jr., Keyon Dooling, Theo Ratliff, Etan Thomas, Matt Bonner; lawyers Jeffrey Kessler and Ron Klempner, and economist Kevin Murphy.
Management stuck with the same small group as Wednesday: Stern, deputy commissioner Adam Silver, Spurs owner Peter Holt, the chairman of the labour relations committee, and lawyers Rick Buchanan and Dan Rube.
"It's been a long haul," Hunter said.

How to Make Caramel Pears Recipe
A more grown-up version of my childhood favorite made with pears, hazelnuts, and cinnamon sticks.
I recently decided to make caramel apples for the first time. Not the bright red, hard candy-shelled type, but the sticky, gooey version from my childhood—all rolled up in a tight weave of ground peanuts, of course.
When I was little, I remember visiting the Affy Tapple outlet on North Clark Street in Chicago with my mother on weekends. The trip was followed by a stop at the Romanian Kosher Butcher, just a block down, for beef hot dogs and summer sausage. I'm pretty sure she chose the sweet shop first, to distract me with the sticky mess.
So when I mentioned the caramel apples to Erin Zimmer, my new favorite friend at Serious Eats, we were in the midst of holiday madness and finding the time to dip apples seemed difficult (I envisioned Christmas gifts covered in sticky fingerprints, and loose peanuts in my buche de noel). She assured me that caramel apples would still be in vogue in 2010, and not to worry.
Well, I didn't.
Instead, I started dreaming up new ideas, and after running into Ed Levine on New Year's Eve, came up with some creative ideas.
Since I'm not seven-years-old anymore (although some might agree I still behave like I am), and have managed to find my way into a professional kitchen (clearly, I was lost that day), I thought I should create a more grown-up version of my childhood favorite with apples: introducing caramel pears.
They are covered in toasted hazelnuts (thanks for the tip, Ed) and even garnished with cinnamon sticks. A little cellophane and raffia and I might put Affy Tapple out of business.
Caramel Pears
- 6 Seckle pears
- 6 cinnamon sticks
- 1 cup toasted hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons dark corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 generous pinch sea salt
Trim the stems off the top of the pears and pierce with the cinnamon sticks to create a handle.
Place pears on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Set aside.
Spread chopped hazelnuts onto a plate. Set aside.
Combine 3/4 cup cream, sugar, corn syrup and butter in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until it registers 280°F on a candy thermometer.
Immediately remove the caramel from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup of cream.
While working quickly dip one pear about 3/4 deep into the caramel, using a spoon to coat the top of each piece of fruit.
Follow by rolling the caramel-coated pear in the hazelnuts and return to the baking sheet.
Repeat these last two steps with the remaining pears and let sit at room temperature to set.

What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of dozens of non-psychoactive cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. Cannabidiol, and all the other cannabinoids, were patented by the United States Government in 2003 as neuroprotectants and antioxidants (Patent No. 6,630,507). Cannabinoids are characterized by their ability to act on the cannabinoid receptors that are found throughout the body. CBD and other cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds that display potent anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. They can promote the body's healthy regulation of the central nervous, immune, and endocannabinoid systems.

Despite market buzz that dividend-paying stocks are nearing bubble-like proportions, investor demand keeps driving Global X Funds to create new income-producing exchange traded funds (ETFs), the company's chief executive said Monday at a New York Stock Exchange bell-ringing ceremony.
Global X Funds CEO Bruno del Ama (left) reported that within weeks of the Global X SuperDividend ETF (SDIV) passing its one-year anniversary of trading on the NYSE Arca on June 9, the fund's net assets doubled to $93 million. SDIV was the third most traded ETF on the first day of trading out of 161 fund launches in the first half of 2011, according to Bloomberg. As of July 31, SDIV's 12-month yield is 7.56%.
Yet another income-producing ETF was launched by Global X this July, the Global X SuperIncome Preferred ETF (SPFF), which is designed to track 50 of the highest-yielding preferred securities in North America.
"The dividend-paying companies do outperform over a number of environments," del Ama said at a breakfast before the NYSE bell-ringing.
And in a counterintuitive twist, he added, the companies that pay the highest dividends have the lowest volatility—which helps explain Global X's launch of so many income-producing ETFs.
Global X now offers a total of four income-producing ETFs, which trade on NYSE Arca, the all-electronic trading platform of NYSE Euronext:
- SuperDividend (SDIV)
- SuperIncome Preferred (SPFF)
- Global X MLP (MLPA)
- Global X Canada Preferred ETF (CNPF)
Robert Curry, a Barrington, Ill.-based Morgan Stanley Smith Barney wealth advisor who attended the NYSE event, said that the dividend trade may now be somewhat crowded, but that income equities continue to be a sound investment. Curry compared the current environment to the 1950s, when bond yields were low and dividend stocks outperformed fixed income.

HOPPER, HUGH: Hoppertunity Box
A great LP that came out originally in1975 in Norway, of compositions recorded piecemeal over a several weeks by Hugh, Dave Stewart, Elton Dean, Gary Windo, Marc Charig, Frank Roberts, and Mike Travis (with Nigel Morris [Isotope] on one track), that mixes great real-time playing with multi-tracked and vari-speeded basses. Rich sonically, and sure-footed musically, this record also exemplifies much of what was great about an era of rock experimentalism that was already being left behind, or buried under expensive technology.

NEW YORK — Researchers have revived a giant virus more than 30,000 years old, recovered from the permafrost of northeast Siberia.
The virus poses no threat to people. Although it is considered a giant when compared to other viruses, it is microscopic and infects amoebas.
The one from Siberia is a new kind of giant virus, joining a group that was first discovered 10 years ago.
The researchers said their finding suggests that dangerous germs might emerge in the future as permafrost thaws because of global warming or mineral exploration. They said sampling permafrost to look for ancient viruses that infect amoebas is an inexpensive and safe way to assess that potential threat.
The new work was reported Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Aaron Hernandez -- Dropped By Puma
Aaron Hernandez Dropped By Puma
And boom goes the dynamite ... NFL star Aaron Hernandez' biggest sponsor PUMA has just dropped him like a hot potato.
A rep for PUMA tells TMZ, "PUMA has ended the relationship with athlete Aaron Hernandez in light of the current situation."
Hernandez signed the 2-year endorsement deal with PUMA in April 2013 as the face of its "training category." It's unclear how much the deal was worth ... but safe to say, a lot.
As we reported, Hernandez is currently in custody awaiting his murder trial. Hernandez was charged with 1st degree murder and 5 other gun-related charges in connection with the death of a 27-year-old former semi-pro football player named Odin Lloyd.
Hernandez is being held without bail.

Six crew conducted two spacewalks during its stay at the International
Space Station. Both were based out of the Quest Airlock, and the
spacewalkers used U.S. spacesuits, which are called Extravehicular
Mobility Units, or EMUs. The
crew was originally scheduled to conduct only one spacewalk, but
a second was added to the manifest for April 8 in order to prepare
for future assembly missions.

'Cause You Know it Don't Matter Anyway
Why is it my children have to go against the grain and get more sick in summer than they do any other season.
Oh, wait. It's because they are my kids and have figured out my secret of fucking everything up. Yes! That's why!
So. Griffin's been complaining of a stomach ache for about a month. I took him to the doctor earlier this week and as far as they can tell, nothing is wrong. So we took him off fruit punch. He seems to be fine now. Of course, I decided if Griffin was giving up fruit punch I'd give up my Pepsi and WooWeeBoy does iced coffee ever have an ass load of caffeine in it. Wheeeeeeeee...
Now, Darwin on the other hand. He can't stop pooping. He's a non-stop pooper now for the past three days. I'm talking at least a dozen poopy diapers a day, no lie. And his ass? Is totally red. And he's acting like a brat (imagine that! a sore butt and child acting like a brat ALL AT THE SAME TIME, I bet you can't wrap your mind around that one).
Welcome to my life: tummy aches and sore butts.

Bummer about the butt. I always think it makes it so much harder for them to be sick because they act so horribly...and I feel bad for getting annoyed. Ugh.

Undergraduate Student Research Projects Showcased
Xuhui "Louis" Ning, a senior majoring in biochemistry, won top honors for his project in bionanotechnology. Above, he spoke with volunteer judge Dr. Beth Lange, chief scientific officer for Mary Kay.
Each year, dozens of undergraduates participate in research projects at UT Dallas.
They work in areas from social sciences to physical sciences, and in emerging fields such as nanotechnology, biomedical devices and cybersecurity.
"We just want students to be involved," said Dr. Bruce Gnade, vice president for research. "Our faculty members are very enthusiastic about having bright students to work with, and there is a wide variety of opportunities available. Students gain valuable skills and experience that make them more marketable to potential employers and graduate schools."
The Office of Research at UT Dallas encourages students to get involved in research by providing a competitive awards program that funds student research under the guidance of faculty mentors. Last fall, in the program's sixth year, 62 students received Undergraduate Research Scholar Awards from the research office.
Aaron Kotamarti received second place for his project that combined genetics, biochemistry and computer science.
Sixty of those student researchers displayed the results of their efforts recently in the Undergraduate Research Scholar Awards and Poster Contest held on campus as part of the Exhibition of Excellence in Undergraduate Education event, organized by the Office of Undergraduate Education. Faculty judges chose 11 finalists.
The finalists then went through a second round of evaluation by six judges from industry at the annual Undergraduate Research Poster Contest Finals, sponsored by Raytheon. The top three posters won cash awards.
Student finalists represented the School of Arts and Humanities, the Naveen Jindal School of Management, the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, and the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
Xuhui "Louis" Ning, a senior majoring in biochemistry, won top honors for his project in the emerging field of bionanotechnology. Under the guidance of Dr. Jie Zheng, assistant professor of chemistry, Ning addressed the problem of tumor-targeting agents that can be toxic if they accumulate in the liver and spleen.
Brenden Palmer won third place for his work using a video game to examine the psychology of failure and how people learn.
Ning worked with a novel nanoparticle that has a gold core surrounded by a chemical agent. In laboratory tests, he compared the particle's activity and speed of clearance from tissues to an imaging agent currently in use.
"We've shown that this nanoparticle clears more quickly than the clinically proven agent," Ning said. "Since it targets tumors, it might be used for early disease detection or it might also be useful for targeted delivery of drugs."
Aaron Kotamarti received second place for research that combines genetics, biochemistry and computer science. His faculty mentor was Dr. Michael Zhang, director of the Center for Systems Biology and the Cecil H. and Ida Green Distinguished Chair in Systems Biology Science.
Using biological principles as input, Kotamarti devised computer programs that could help researchers better understand a process called methylation, which helps regulate the expression of genes. Kotamarti has a bachelor's degree in engineering from UT Dallas and is currently completing a bachelor's degree in biology and a master's degree in engineering.
Third place went to Brenden Palmer, a freshman in the School of Arts and Humanities. Dr. Monica Evans, assistant professor in the arts and technology (ATEC) program, oversaw Palmer's project, which used a popular video game to examine the psychology of failure and how people learn. Palmer said his work has potential applications in improving training methods used in business, education and the military.
Match Day Brings
New Opportunities
During a week dedicated to undergraduate research, a new event gave undergraduate students a chance to explore and pursue opportunities to work in faculty labs.
During Match Day, which was held March 27 in the Visitor's Center Atrium, faculty from across the University stood behind tables and booths and explained various projects to students. The event was designed to show students the variety of research projects on campus and to help faculty recruit top students to work on research projects.
"Students who participate in a research project as an undergrad will gain valuable experience that contributes to future success professionally, or in graduate school," said Courtney Brecheen, assistant dean of Academic Excellence Scholarships and Undergraduate Programs.
Dr. Beth Lange, chief scientific officer for Mary Kay, has judged the poster competition the past couple of years and said choosing winners was difficult.
