It's only okay to commit hate crimes against white people
- 220 Replies
You've got Obama out here talking about his son would look like Trayvon, sweet. My daughter would look like Caylee Anthony. Another lost life without justice. What is his point? The judicial system is flawed. Bottom line. It's not just Trayvon, it's other people too, of all colors.
The men who raped me.... got away with a piddley ass 6 month sentence. I am white, all three of THEM were black. I was 13, they were 17-20. I lose my virginity for my whole life... and you get 6 months?
The fuck?
It's the whole thing. Everything, This shit is a hot ass mess. I have been convicted of a crime I DID NOT do and actually just got rejected for a job because of it... so I know how it feels. I've been locked up for BULLSHIT for a YEAR. I've been arrested, profiled, searched, whatever. Remember, I AM WHITE, and I look like I am too. I'm porcelain complected for fucks sake. I get in trouble just as much as anyone else. I get flicked at LEAST once a month for something stupid.
In this country, in my opinion, it's as much about money as it is about race. If you've got bread, you don't go to jail. If you don't... well you get hemmed up on BULLSHIT regardless of your color.
I've lived it, as a white, middle-class female from the fucking suburbs. There's just as much bullshit going on in the white community. I was abused for over a decade by my WHITE step-father... I reported him to cops, CPS, nothing happened. Instead, I GET LOCKED UP when I'm 15 for being a "troubled youth".
Damn right I am troubled mother fucker, look at my home life!
ETA: Yes, my rape was racially motivated. While violating me, I was called "stupid white bitch". I didn't get the justice I deserved. I didn't get to be on the news.
For the sake of perspective, If I were a black woman and raped by 3 white men and was called a "stupid Black bitch"... would that change anything?
I sent this to my FB friend who called me an idiot for not jumping on the race crime bandwagon yet.
Not sure which side I'm on about Zimmerman/Trayvon
Apparently that means I'm a racist idiot. I replied with this.
Sorry if this offends you.
Do people really not understand the difference between crimes against someone of a different race, and racially motivated crime?
It's on Netflix currently.

LB Chris Register of Greensboro, NC has offers from Clemson, USC, Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, NC State, East Carolina, Wake Forest, Tennessee, Ole Miss an Indiana. He attended a junior day at Clemson and looks forward to a return trip. "I had a good time and I want to get back down there for some football games," said Register. "They still hit me up on facebook all of the time." USC is another visit he wants to take during the season. "Coach (Shawn) Elliott contacts me from time-to-time and told me he really wants to get me on campus," he said. "I went there for a junior day when I was a sophomore and I really liked it. I want to get back for a football game this year." Register attended junior days at UNC and NC State but had little to say about the visits. "They went pretty good," said Register. "They're both recruiting me hard." His most recent trip was planned for Florida State but a scheduling conflict forced Register to cancel the visit. He does not have any favorites but did express interest in the Tigers and Gamecocks.

Monroe's police union plans to reopen its contract next year to seek a cost of living pay raise.
In the coming months, the police union will be able to reopen salary negotiations after taking 0 percent raises each of the first two years of the contract, said Andrew Grossenbaugh, president of the Monroe chapter of the Ohio Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. The contract's third year starts at the end of June.
"We're making less money than we did two or three years ago because the city's raising our insurance," Grossenbaugh said.
Monroe officials were unable to provide the increase in insurance costs prior to The Journal's deadline.
Grossenbaugh said the union is not looking for any exorbitant raises, just cost of living increases.
"We always come to the table willing to negotiate," he said. "We understand the economic times. We don't want to go to arbitration because it causes everyone more time and money."
But Grossenbaugh said the union will go to arbitration if necessary.
Chief Greg Homer would talk details of the apparent looming wage negotiations, but said "everyone in the city is in the same position" in terms of pay raises and rising health insurance costs.
"I don't think the city is in any better situation today then they were two years ago" when the contract was negotiated," Homer said.
IAFF Local 3824, the Monroe firefighters' union, do not have a reopener clause in its three-year contract, which expires in December 2013, said union president Kelly Shotwell. The union negotiated a 0 percent raise for each of the contract's years. New contract negotiations are expected to start in October, he said.

Hathaway delight at Krauss win
London fighter targeting more success in 2012
By Jonathan Witty - Twitter: @skybet_Jonathan. Last Updated: 07/05/12 2:43pm
John Hathaway: Pleased with his return to the Octagon
UFC Lightweight contender John Hathaway was delighted with his dominant victory against Pascal Krauss at UFC on Fox 3 following his lengthy injury lay-off.
The London Shootfighters star returned to the Octagon after over 12 months on the sidelines on Saturday night and earned a unanimous decision win against the previously unbeaten German.
Hathaway, now 16-1 in his MMA career, was pleased with his conditioning and insists he is ready to push on this year and re-establish himself in the Lightweight division.
He said: "I'm ecstatic that I got this win! I was able to drop him a few times and he recovered quickly, so I knew I had to capitalise on any opportunity that I got.
"I'm working all areas of my game and I felt quicker, stronger and more aggressive in this fight. I've been successful in this division so far, and I'm ready to keep pushing forward."
Hathaway dominated all three rounds and utilised his wrestling skills to full effect, taking Krauss down on numerous occasions and showing impressive striking in the final round to sway the judges' scorecards.
Also coming off a lengthy injury lay-off, Krauss was philosophical about his defeat and is prepared to learn from mistakes made against the English fighter.
He said: "I have been out for so long, it felt good just to be back in there. I needed to be more aggressive and stop his takedowns.
"Mainly, I needed to get off my back. I stayed on my back way too much in this fight. I didn't expect him to move back so much during the fight."
The 25-year-old added: "It really threw me off that I had to pursue him the whole time. I definitely want to fight more often so that I don't have such a long time in between my fights."

GONZAGA UNIVERSITY NEWS RELEASE Dale Goodwin, Director Peter Tormey, Associate Director |
GU to Exhibit Wizard of Oz Collection | |
In honor of the 150th birthday of L. Frank Baum, author of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," Gonzaga University's Foley Center library will host an exhibit titled "Beyond Oz: Highlights from the L. Frank Baum Collection of Currie Corbin." The Rare Book Reading Room, located on the third floor of the Foley Center, will be the site of this exhibition that runs from April 10 through June 30. The hours will be Monday through Friday 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Saturday noon-4 p.m. The date of Baum's birth was May 15, 1856. The exhibition will be closed for holiday April 14-17, May 20, and May 27-29. The exhibition is sponsored by Spokane Teachers Credit Union, which is paying for the Exhibition catalogs that will be given away to attendees. All of the materials in the exhibition are on loan from Corbin, a Spokane resident, who began collecting Baum's work as a child growing up in Eastern Montana. His own transformation from a reader who loved the Oz books to a serious collector dealing in a rarified and usually adult world is a fascinating story in its own right. Corbin financed his Oz passion by selling hand-painted Santas to gift shops in Yellowstone National Park. He occasionally stayed home from school to bid by telephone on auctions at Sotheby's and Swann Galleries. In 20 years of collecting, Corbin amassed a wonderful array of Oz books and other rare Baum titles. He even has titles published under Baum's various pseudonyms, which included women's names. Highlights from the exhibit include the only known copy of a 1913 lithograph poster from Baum's 1913 stage production "The Tik Tok Man of Oz." Other rarities include first editions of most Oz series titles, including some signed and in original dust jackets. Corbin will discuss his collection in a public lecture at 7 p.m., Thursday, April 27, at the Foley Center Teleconference Room. The event is free and open to the public. Corbin attended Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., where he majored in business. In addition to collecting rare books, Currie collects rare western photography, western art, vintage cocktail shakers, and arts & crafts period pottery. Corbin is director of marketing for Oxyfresh in Coeur d'Alene, and is a member of the Spokane Arts Commission. Also, he is a concert pianist and an operatically trained vocalist. For more information on the Oz exhibit, contact Stephanie Plowman at (509) 323-3847. |

2000 Chevy Camaro starts, idles low around 1000 rpms for 4 or 5 seconds before dying

Why did my car stall when I used the foot brake?
Keep in mind it's not just an increase in load, but also a reduction in engine RPM. When your engine slows down during braking, your alternator output drops. So you're drawing more current from the battery, and putting less back. |

When do brake rotors really need to be replaced?
I just did the front brakes on my car this weekend, and I noticed that the allowable rotor wear was only 2mm. I think resurfacing them after a normal amount of wear would probably take them over the limit. I tend to just replace them every other pad change -- they're not that expensive, considering how important they are. |

1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Disc Brake Conversion
Disc brakes don't grip well when they get wet, which can be a problem when off-roading. Their advantages (self-adjusting, easier to service, less fade when hot) more than make up for this, though. |

2003 Ford Escort ZX2 has creaky steering
You could ask someone to check to see if they need to be lubed. Another possibility is your sway bar. If your bushings are starting to get hard or worn, they could creak as the weight transfers to one end. You should be able to check this by pushing down on the left front corner of the car. If it creaks or groans, that may be your culprit. |

But the Spaniards brought more than just Men, Horses and Guns.
They brought DISEASE....

SAN DIEGO -- Philip Rivers thought Manti Te'o had a decent first interaction with San Diego Chargers veterans.
"It didn't seem like he was lost or anything ... he didn't stand out, which was a good thing," Rivers said after the first practice of organized team activities, which are practices in helmets, jerseys and shorts, but no pads.
Te'o did get matched up with star tight end Antonio Gates a few times, which was "a quick welcome, Day 1," Rivers said.
"Today was a good first day," said inside linebacker Donald Butler, who will be paired with Te'o in the Chargers' 3-4 defence.
The only person who didn't get to talk about Te'o's performance was Te'o himself.
The team pulled an end run and kept Te'o away from a large media contingent that hoped to find out from the player how he felt after mixing it up with vets for the first time.
As Te'o walked off the field, an assistant coach put an arm around the rookie's shoulders and said he had to get to a meeting.
Te'o, the linebacker from Notre Dame, was picked by the Chargers in the second round after slipping out of the opening round in part because of a poor performance in a blowout loss to Alabama in the national championship game.
He also was part of a girlfriend hoax that drew national headlines.
If the Chargers can protect Rivers on the left side of the offensive line as well as they're protecting Te'o from the media, they might end their three-year playoff drought.
The Chargers have taken unprecedented steps to limit Te'o's time in front of the microphones. The team refused to let reporters do customary one-on-ones with him after his introductory news conference during the draft, and has continued to refuse to set up interviews with the linebacker. Te'o did speak after the first practice of rookie minicamp on Friday but was the only player off-limits on Monday.
"We make decisions that we think are best for the organization," rookie head coach Mike McCoy said. "Like every other player, we've got a plan and we move forward with it. He addressed everyone the other day. We have a schedule for him and we're going to follow it. We have a belief in what we're doing and the way we're going to take care of our players."
Te'o worked with the first-team defence.
"He's done a nice job," McCoy said. "It was a good start for him this weekend. We have big expectations for him coming in here and stepping in and playing for us. He's in there with the ones right now and we're going to see how much he can pick up."
Said Butler: "Obviously, we have high expectations for him coming in and playing and hopefully he can get our system down and come in and be productive."

At birth, your body was 100-percent human in terms of cells. At death, about 10-percent of the cells in your body will be human and the remaining 90-percent will be microorganisms. That makes you a "supraorganism," and it is the interactions between your human and microbial cells that go a long way towards determining your health and physical well-being, especially your resistance to infectious diseases.
To learn more about the community of symbiotic microbes that outnumber our own somatic and germ cells by a 10:1 ratio, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2008 launched the Human Microbiome Project (HMP) - a microbiome is the full complement of microorganisms populating a supraorganism. The goal of the HMP is to sequence the genomes of 1,000 or more of these microbial species and assemble the information in a "project catalog" as a reference for future investigations. The project catalog is housed at the HMP Data Acquisition and Coordination Center (DACC), which was created and is maintained by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
"The HMP project catalog is a unique worldwide resource," says molecular biologist Nikos Kyrpides of Berkeley Lab's Genomics Division, who heads the Genome Biology and Metagenomics Programs for the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) and is the co-principal investigator of the DACC. "It has a central role in the HMP, not only in maintaining the list and status of over 1,400 individual human microbiome projects, but also as a data managements system for the metadata associated with these projects, such as information on the microbial isolation sites and the sites in the human body where these microbes can be found, and information on the phenotypic properties of these microbes."
At JGI, Kyrpides oversees projects such as GenePRIMP, a highly rated quality control program for genome sequencing, and GOLD, the Genomes On-Line Database. GenePRIMP stands for "Gene PRediction IMprovement Pipeline, and it consists of a series of computational units that can be used to significantly improve the overall quality of the predicted genes in any sequenced genome. The results identify gene-calling errors such as potentially incorrect gene start and end positions, large overlaps between genes, and fragmented or missed genes. GOLD provides comprehensive information on genome sequencing projects, including metagenomes and metadata from around the world. The HMP project catalog is powered by the GOLD database and provides a specialized user interface by which the data stored in GOLD can be read.
The other co-principal investigator of the DACC is Victor Markowitz who heads Berkeley Lab's Biological Data Management and Technology Center in the Computational Research Division, and also serves as the Chief Informatics Officer and Associate Director at JGI. Markowitz oversees the development and maintenance of the Integrated Microbial Genomics with Microbiome samples (IMG/M) system, which provides comparative analysis tools for the study of metagenomes - the collective genetic material of a given microbiome. First released in 2006, IMG/M contains millions of annotated microbial gene sequences, recovered from wild varieties of microbial communities. IMG/M is now being applied to the HMP.
"Resources such as GenePRIMP, GOLD and IMG/M are among the best in the world when it comes to providing comparative analysis tools for microbial genomes and metagenomes," Markowitz says. "As the HMP moves forward, these resources will provide support for the annotation and analysis of HMP datasets, in particular via the metagenome annotation pipeline at JGI and a HMP specific version of the IMG/M system."
The first 178 reference microbial genomes have now been analyzed and catalogued by the HMP. The results were published in the journal Science in a paper titled, "A Catalog of Reference Genomes from the Human Microbiome."

Ian Punnett (Twitter) was joined by author Timothy L. O'Brien, who discussed the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the culture of that period in American history. "What surprises me is how little is really, truly modern in our lives," he said of his research into that era. To that end, he noted that debates over presidential authority, the power of the business class, and issues surrounding race, gender, and immigration existed following Lincoln's death and remain hotly debated to this day. On the Great Emancipator, himself, O'Brien marveled that "there's a lot about Lincoln that actually does live up to the myth," unlike many other historical figures who have become idealized over time.
from c2cplanet:
While John Wilkes Booth is forever vilified for his role in Lincoln's assassination, O'Brien detailed some of the key players who also played a role in the plot unfolding. One such character was Mary Surratt, the woman who owned the boardinghouse where it is believed planning for the assassination took place and who was hung for her role in Lincoln's death. Although O'Brien conceded that Surratt likely withheld information about her knowledge of the plot from authorities, he suggested that her son, John, who fled the country following the assassination, likely played a more pivotal role in the event.
O'Brien also discussed the relationship between Lincoln and his wife, Mary Todd, as well as her life following the assassination. He lamented that Mary Todd has seemingly been "brutalized by history" and treated as a caricature by historians. O'Brien attributed this portrayal to Mary Todd's erratic behavior and penchant for visiting seances in the hopes of communicating with her late husband. "She was desperately searching for some answers and some support," he contended. Additionally, O'Brien defended Mary Todd against the frequent historical depiction that she was an unhappy spouse, noting that the former president had his own personal issues, such as depression. "I don't know how easy he might have been to live with, himself," O'Brien mused.
Behind Bond
In the first hour, James Bond novelist, Raymond Benson, shared his thoughts on the new Bond film, Skyfall. "It pushes a lot of buttons in a lot of people," he said, "it's certainly the best Bond film they could have made in the year 2012." On that note, Benson pointed to the "legacy of Bond" and how, over the years, the style of the films have evolved with each actor who played the legendary spy as well as the mood of society at the time. During his appearance, Benson also talked about how his book, The Man with the Red Tattoo, inspired the creation of a Bond museum in Japan.
In the second half hour, journalist, Bill Wasik, and veterinarian, Monica Murphy, discussed the history, science, and cultural mythology of rabies. Noting that the disease has been recorded in historical accounts dating back to the origins of human writing, Wasik surmised that the terror associated with rabies lies in the fact that it can be seen passing from animals to humans and often originates from domesticated dogs. Since the overt symptoms of rabies may not be visible in animals infected with the disease, Murphy warned that "any wildlife that's acting strangely" should prompt a call to authorities for help.

A book released last year stirred an unusual controversy on whether Mahatma Gandhi had a gay lover.
"Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle With India," written by Pulitzer-Prize winning author Joseph Lelyveld, includes passages that some interpreted as hinting that Gandhi and Hermann Kallenbach, a German-Jewish architect, were more than just very good friends.
Gandhi's friendship with Kallenbach is again at the center of attention.

2010 Ghana Real Estate and Data on Industry
March 2010 rate of inflation
The March 2010 inflation rate is 13.32%. The rate is 0.91 percentage points lower than that of February 2010 (14.23 %). The rate of inflation is the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the twelve-month period from March 2009 (289.76) to March 2010 (328.35). The monthly change is the percentage change in the CPI over one month (Table 1).
The Consumer Price Index
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the average price level measured relative to a reference period, usually called a base year. The base year for Ghana's CPI is 2002, which is equated to 100. The March 2010 CPI was 3.69 percentage points above that of February 2010.
Inflation trend
The rate of inflation has been falling since July 2009, with declines more than 1 percentage points occurring in September 2009, November 2009, and January 2010. Significant drops
(close to 1 percent) were also recorded in August 2009, December 2009, and March 2010.
The non-food inflation rate has been relatively high and more stable than the food inflation rate and relatively mimics the year-on-year inflation. The food inflation is decreasing slower than the non food inflation (Figure 1).
Non-food rate of inflation
Inflation in the non-food group (which has a weight of 55.09 percent) has had a major influence on overall rate of inflation. In March 2010 there was an appreciable inflation rate in Recreation and culture (41.03%), Furnishing, household equipments etc (22.25%), Hotel and restaurants (20.43) and clothing and footwear (19.78).
Food rate of inflation
In the food group (which has a weight of 44.91 percent) sub groups with the highest inflation rates are Sugar, jam, honey, syrups, chocolate and confectionary (33.77%), food products n.e.c (24.37%), mineral waters, soft drinks and juices (22.95%) and meat (17.7%). Fish subgroup recorded the lowest inflation rate of o.03% (figure 3).
The detailed information on the series is contained in the CPI User's guide at GSS. The target publication date of the monthly newsletter is 15th of the month. It is released on the second Wednesday of each month, and on the third, when the 15th of the month falls on Wednesday. The next release date is 12th May 2010.

In The Museum: The Thursday Regulars
- By Rebecca Maksel
- Air & Space magazine, January 2010
Eric Long
(Page 3 of 3)
The volunteers, who have worked together for 13 years, are proud—and sad—that the Junior will be the last aircraft to be fully restored at Garber. "As a group," says Rousseau, "this is our last hurrah."
Rebecca Maksel is an associate editor at Air & Space/Smithsonian.

spent many hours in the 70s and early 80s in the back of my granfathers cw-1 junior never knew at the time how unusual an airplane i had been lucky enough to fly in. when i turned sixteen i was to heavy at 175 pounds to fly with him since when he did his restoration for second time used grade a covering. thankfully he had a tiger moth and a citabria both of which he flew almost on a weekly basis.this looks like a good place to come a see this plane this summer

Rutas Recomendables »
The dark blue line, the OM23, is an important Ruta Recomendable, because it connects Miraflores to Centro de Lima through avenidas Larco, Arequipa, Wilson and Tacna. Together with the Metropolitano this is the most direct route to Centro the Lima as explained here. If I would have to guess which is the most likely combi route among the Rutas Recomendables that tourists will use, it is this one.
The OM23 line can be recognized by its light-blue buses, with bright stripes in orange, yellow and dark blue. This line should not be confused with the IO20 route, which also has light blue buses. OM23 is a Ruta Recomendable, IO20 not. The difference is in the approach to fleet renovation. The owners of OM23 are pursuing a commendable progamme of accelerated fleet renovation.

What do consumers really want to drink?
Tuesday 25 August
Are we guilty of not listening to the consumer? Probably, yes. Working in the wine trade every day does tend to take over your life – it's not just a job – you drink, sleep, breathe the stuff. Inevitably that tends to mean we are removed from the wine-buying public. No matter how many Wine Intelligence studies or in-house market research we read, can we really remember how we felt about buying wine or what we were drinking before we got into the trade? Tricky, isn't it?
In my last blog, I praised London restaurant L'Anima for putting its wine list in the hands of the twittering public. Great publicity and a great way to involve your customers.
Days later, I'm interviewing Naked Wines boss Rowan Gormley who has come up with the genius (albeit brave) idea of getting his customers to choose the wine. He's already got his customers, affectionately known as 'angels' to do this back in June and aims to do it again in the autumn.
The price of getting Naked
As I explained in my article on decanter.com, Naked will stump up US$100,000 on wine at this year's Wines of Argentina trade tasting and do the same at Wines of South Africa's tasting in October.
He's asking fifty of his 'most active' customers to attend the London event. They'll taste 100 wines and select 10 for the list.
Customer empowerment goes further…the angels then state a price they would be prepared to pay for the selected wines against the prices set by the wineries. The wineries are online – or at the tasting – and see the price comparisons and are able to adjust their prices if they wish. If the customers don't believe the wine is worth as much as the producer does, the producer can then reduce its price to secure a larger order – or not.
Gormley believes enfranchising the customer is all-important. 'We have tasted with consumers and if you say Robert Parker has given it this mark or this critic said this it doesn't mean much but the most powerful view is fellow consumers.'
Is there anybody out there?
Only 50 wines have been submitted by the Argentineans thus far and Gormley expressed surprise and disappointment the response had been lacklustre when there's such a decent prize at stake. Come on senors and senoritas, get your Argentinean fingers out.

Comments about Detours Madison Rack Trunk:
I really do love this bag. It's incredibly cute and functional and I use it almost every day. I mainly use it to commute to work and mill around the city. It looks great on my bike and it is sturdy and easy to attach to my rack. The shoulder strap and handles also make it really easy to carry around like a normal handbag - it's not awkward to carry like some panniers.
The two things that are cons about this bag are where it's situated on the rack and the small size of the inside of the bag. Because it sits atop your rack and doesn't hang from the sides like most panniers, it makes the back of your bike fairly top heavy and awkward at times. This might not be that big of a problem for most people who have a normal sized bike (my bike is tiny because...I'm tiny). It's just something you have to get used to - really not a huge deal, but worth mentioning. Also, and this may be a pro for some people, but the bag is fairly small - meaning you're limited with what you can carry. It's a tight squeeze when i bring my lunch, change of clothes, my bike lock and a light jacket. Again, some people may be looking for a smaller bag for short commutes, millin' around town, etc. If so, this is the bag for you! Also, it looks fairly large on my Salsa Casseroll...as previously mentioned, my bike is tiny. It is just an optical illusion. This bag is small.
Overall, I love the bag and am very happy with my purchase.
Best Uses
Comments about Detours Madison Rack Trunk:
I am a commuter cyclist (24 miles round trip from home to work) and am so pleased with my purchase of this bag that I mainly use for commuting. I began cycling to work last year and purchased a cheap rack bag that had Velcro straps on the bottom to secure it to the rack. The Velcro soon wore out and I purchased a few others and ended up returning them because they were way too small. I commute to work (where I have a shower/towels available) so I'm packing only the necessities i.e. shoes, work clothes, wallet, small bottles of shampoo/conditioner. This bag is the perfect size and so versatile! It is well made and is much higher quality than some of my past bags. Two of my favorite features on this bag that differentiate it are the 4 straps with quick-release buckles and the hidden handles/strap that tuck away into the sides. The buckles really keep it so much more secure than Velcro so I know my bag isn't going anywhere! The handles are perfect for when I have to get off my bike and take the bag with me. It's so quick, easy and lightweight I would recommend this bag over and over to anyone looking for a quality rack bag.
I never write reviews but felt people should know how great of a bag this is if you're looking for something you can pop on and off your rack and carry around easily. Happy cycling!

Back for another Monday check-in!
Did you all have good weekends? Mine was pretty nice. This really felt like the first summer weekend where I was able to chill out. It's my own fault I haven't done it earlier – sometimes I forget to chill when I can. I blame the student in me.
On Friday, I celebrated my best friend's birthday with dinner and drinks on the porch of The Porch. It was really crowded so we all ended up sitting on the wall and eating off of a bunch of little cocktail tables.
My pie: asparagus, sweet onions, and oil-cured olives (I asked for no cheese).
I could write pages about my bestie, but I'll try to be brief. We are similar in really important ways, but in other ways we are complete opposites. She is the life of the party, knows how to give tough love in an empathetic way and is a straight-shooter, which I love. Hard-worker. Strong. She portrays coolness and toughness outwardly even if she is feeling scared or stressed. I admire her a lot. It was fun to celebrate her!
On Saturday morning, I cruised over to my mom's for breakfast. I cut up a melon for everyone…
…and placed my breakfast order with the chef. 3 eggs, scrambled please!
After breakfast my mom and I went for a walk and chatted for a few hours. She helped me look for apartments last week and it was such a gift to have her input. I think I'm ready to sign a lease on one of our finds.
On Sunday (yesterday), I drove back up to my apartment to pick up some stuff. Good times! I've now decided what I would want my superhero ability to be: teleportation.
I still miss blogging like crazy, but I still have mixed feelings about whether now is good time to come back. I am a very all-or-nothing, black-and-white girl. Blogging "whenever" does not sit right with me. I like structure. I've looked forward to this Monday check-in so much, that one day a week does not feel like enough. However, I am still not stable enough with my schedule to make a commitment to a complete return. I'm still trying to figure this out. In the meantime, my journal has been such a godsend.
I know we all have different styles of blogging so some of you may not relate to my current predicament. That's cool. I just wanted to be honest and share in the hopes that maybe someone does relate or understand. The last thing I'll say for today is this: the act of not blogging has been very insightful! I'm not surprised…
Shake-ups in routine –> feelings of dissonance –>questioning and insight –> learning!
Questions for you: Do you ever shake up your routine on purpose as a "challenge"? What did you learn?
Also, if you were a superhero, what would your power be?
Until next week!

A small sawmill that hoped to sell surplus electricity from its steam generators has instead put the generators up for sale.
Eagle Stud Mill in Hall was one of eight businesses that worked with NorthWestern Energy in 2009 to explore turning waste sawdust into power. But even its leftovers couldn't compete with the low market price of natural gas-derived electricity.
"Power's going for about 6 cents a kilowatt-hour, and we needed 12 to 14 cents to make it work," mill owner Joe Brooke said on Friday. "When we were running the stud mill, the generators supplied the power for the planer, which was about a third of the cost for electricity. But then we were running the boiler, and we had to have somebody on the boiler all the time. When stud prices went to hell, we couldn't afford to operate it."

During the last checkpoint, where Dachev says that they're completely surrounded, a long line of enemy ground units will appear. Destroying them will usually yield 180 to 210 experience per group; if you managed to destroy them all, you'll earn you 2000+ experience. After using all your ammo, just crash yourself or reload the checkpoint and repeat the process. This is the fastest way to grind for exp though you can't use this mission to master other planes since it doesn't have a custom setting option when replaying it.

Monarchs edge past Worcester
Toffoli, named to the American Hockey League All-Star Game earlier in the week, beat Sharks goalie Harri Sateri at 18:48 of the third period.
Worcester forward Jon Matsumoto scored the only goal of the first period, notching his 12th goal of the season. The Sharks held a 1-0 lead until the eighth minute of the second period. Monarchs centerman Linden Vey, with assists from Brandon Kozun and Tanner Pearson, beat Sateri. Vey had a goal and an assist for the Monarchs (18-17-2-2), who host Providence tonight at 7 at Verizon Wireless Arena. The Monarchs also host Portland on Sunday at 3 p.m.
Goalie Martin Jones returned for the Monarchs, saving 28 of 29 shots. Sateri saved 16 of 19 shots for the Sharks, who dropped to 19-16-1-3. In a physical battle, the division foes began swapping punches in the opening seconds of the game. Andy Andreoff, who earned a three-game suspension earlier this month for a hit to the head of Worcester's Curt Gogol, dropped the gloves with Jimmy Bonneau. Justin Johnson also had a fight with Bonneau. Neither team scored on the power play in the contest.

A groundbreaking, unprecedented bestseller in Italy, Roberto Saviano's insider account traces the decline of the city of Naples under the rule of the Camorra, an organized crime network more powerful and violent than the Mafia. The Camorra is an elaborate, international system dealing in drugs, high fashion, construction, and toxic waste, and its influence has entirely transformed life in Campania, the province surrounding Naples.
Since seeing his first murder victim, at thirteen, Roberto Saviano has watched the changes in his home city. For Gomorrah, he disappeared into the Camorra and witnessed at close range its audacious, sophisticated, and far-reaching corruption that has paralyzed his home city and introduced the world to a new breed of organized crime.

Fox News' Chris Stirewalt adopted the false, GOP-inspired label of "government run health insurance" during Fox's coverage of House hearings on the Affordable Care Act health reform rollout.
On the November 13 edition of America's Newsroom, host Martha MacCallum used a House hearing on the health exchange website to ask Stirewalt to comment on problems in the rollout of Obamacare's exchanges. Stirewalt claimed that problems accessing the website are a major problem because people have been "compelled against their wishes to purchase government run health insurance."
But the ACA is not "government-run" health insurance. The Affordable Care Act creates exchanges in which consumers can purchase health insurance that will be managed and operated by private health insurers. The Washington Post's Fact Checker blog pointed out that the ACA "builds on the existing private insurance" much like Massachusetts health insurance reform of 2006. Politfact called the claim that the ACA is a "government takeover of health care" the 2010 "Lie of the Year," explaining that the law "relies largely on the free market":
Media fell for another misleading leak from the House Oversight Committee when they hyped allegations that the Obama administration ignored HealthCare.gov security warnings -- though the warnings were for a portion of the site that will not be operational until early 2014.
On November 11, a CBS News report cited selectively leaked partial transcripts from Affordable Care Act (ACA) opponent Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) to claim that "the project manager in charge of building the federal health care website was apparently kept in the dark about serious failures in the website's security." The network was criticized by Maddow producer Steve Benen when he found that the warnings referenced a function of the health care website that won't be active until early 2014 and has nothing to do with the parts of the website that are currently in use. A Democratic staffer Benen talked to also said that this part of the website "will not submit or share personally identifiable information."
CBS' faulty report aired just days after the network faced widespread criticism and was forced to apologize for failing properly vet an unreliable source that was prominently featured in the network's October 27 60 Minutes report on the Benghazi attack. But CBS wasn't the only outlet to promote misleading claims from the leaked Oversight Committee transcript.
On November 11, The New York Times reported that The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Henry Chao, "[t]he chief digital architect for the federal health insurance marketplace," was "not aware of tests that indicated potential security flaws in the system, which opened to the public on Oct. 1," citing excerpts released by Issa. The same day, FoxNews.com claimed that Obamacare security concerns had been "withheld," but never mentioned that its story was based on a partial transcript. CNN's New Day, and Fox News' America's Newsroom and On The Record with Greta Van Susteren all ran the story on November 12. The Associated Press repeated the claim "Chao was unaware of a memo earlier that month detailing unresolved security issues" as late as November 13 -- after contradictory reports had surfaced.
The media's failure to confirm the suggestions made by partial transcripts from the House Oversight Committee is a significant oversight, considering the committee chairman Darrell Issa's history of releasing misleading material the press.
From the November 11 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom:

Right-wing media claimed opposition to the Affordable Care Act influenced the Virginia governor election despite polls that show the health reform law was an insignificant factor in the race.
Fox News has stoked outrage over the plan changes in the individual health insurance market, charging Obama with "government malpractice" and calling him a liar for supposedly not informing people that plans would change. But Fox's hyperbolic attacks ignore the fact that these changes are not only common in the individual market, but also that the administration announced them years ago.
Republican and conservative media figures lauded a report from CBS' 60 Minutes on the September 2012 Benghazi attacks, using it to advance their attacks on the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton. But that report has since come under fire following the revelation that the piece's key Benghazi "eyewitness" had previously claimed he was nowhere near the compound on the night of the attack.
Fox News hyped a poll asking viewers whether members of Congress should be exempt from the Affordable Care Act, even though they are actually not exempt -- a poll finding that reflected Fox's misleading coverage of the issue.
On the October 31 edition of Happening Now, correspondent Mike Emanuel claimed that senators are "trying to interpret the law more broadly" to exempt their staff from enrolling in Obamacare. Emanuel promoted a new Fox poll claiming that the vast majority of people surveyed want "members of Congress & their staff " to live under Obamacare.
Fox has repeatedly misinformed viewers by claiming Congress has received a special exemption from the ACA, even though the law does not exempt members of Congress or their staff.
Fox News is calling mileage-based user fees that several states are considering "Orwellian," implying the government would be able to track your vehicle without permission and perhaps even "shut your car off." But the network's segment left out that such proposals generally include devices that cannot track your location and certainly cannot turn off your car, satisfying both the American Civil Liberties Union and several conservative organizations.
In a segment featuring no voices in defense of mileage-based user fees (MBUF), Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum declared such proposals the "most Orwellian thing I've ever heard." MacCallum hosted Berkeley Varitronics Systems President Scott Schober, who suggested the government may be able to "shut your car off" if you do not pay the fees. MacCallum added that if "somebody is stalking you and they want to know where you're going, they could very well hack right into this system and follow you." The segment was so conspiratorial that fellow Fox News anchor Jon Scott joked that "I see the black helicopters over your studio right now":
Ryan Morrison, Founder and CEO of True Mileage, Inc. -- a company that designs devices that could be used for MBUF -- said this "definitely sounds like misinformation." In a phone conversation with Media Matters, Morrison said "no company or departments of transportation are looking into devices that could shut off a car." He added that "certainly no one would be able to do anything like that with our devices, and the only time that I've heard of something like that is with a LoJack" for stolen vehicles.
In addition, according to Morrison, most proposals are suggesting allowing citizens to choose whether to install devices without GPS-tracking -- such as his company's -- or to install ones that do have GPS-tracking -- in order to save money when they travel out of state or on less congested roads. For instance, Oregon, which has moved forward with a pilot program for a MBUF (also known as a "vehicle-miles traveled" (VMT) fee), would allow participants to choose devices that do not have GPS tracking and delete personal data after 30 days. The American Civil Liberties Union is reportedly "satisfied with the privacy protections" in Oregon's program.
Fox News immediately pounced on a 60 Minutes Benghazi report to continue a baseless smear campaign against Hillary Clinton in an attempt to make sure the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate will "be politically relevant for Hillary Clinton down the road."
After CBS' 60 Minutes aired a segment of correspondent Lara Logan and producer Max McClellan's year-long investigation of the Benghazi attacks regarding a long-answered "lingering question," Fox's America's Newsroom host Martha MacCallum hosted Tea Party News Network's Scottie Nell Hughes and contributor Leslie Marshall to discuss the report. These politically-oriented guests were selected in an apparent attempt to smear former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as MacCallum admitted to the pair, "the reason we're talking to you about this is because it is going to be politically relevant and it may be politically relevant for Hillary Clinton down the road." One such attack discussed was the long-debunked myth that the administration told the military to "stand down" rather than proceed with a Benghazi rescue mission.
MACCALLUM: Yeah, they had made repeated cries for help, for increased security. Those were turned down. And the reason we're talking to both of you about this is because it is going to be politically relevant and it may be politically relevant for Hillary Clinton down the road. She, we also remember, shook her hands in the air and said 'what difference does it make whether it was a bunch of crazy individuals or something that was planned and plotted.' I am paraphrasing a bit of what she said, but you all remember it well.
MARSHALL: That is great paraphrasing, taking one sentence a bit out of context.
HUGHES: They asked for help, a month before there was a meeting where they sat there and laid out the entire plan that this embassy was going to be under attack, and that night when the calls for help went out and the soldiers wanted to go in and help, there was a call somewhere from this administration to stand down. We don't know who made that call.
MARSHALL: Really, really?
MACCALLUM: The "Stand Down" order is very controversial, but we know they did not go in and help.
After Marshall called out MacCallum for taking Clinton's Benghazi testimony out of context, Hughes turned the conversation to the myth that the Obama administration told the military to "stand down" and cancel any planned rescue missions -- one of Fox's favorite myths.
In fact, multiple sources, including the commander of the Special Forces team that was allegedly told to stand down and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, have all said that no such order was given. The House Armed Services Committee also released a statement putting the myth to rest, stating that, according to testimony and "contrary to news reports," the commander "was not ordered to 'stand down.' "
Fox has now entered its second year of using the tragic attacks in Benghazi to smear the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton to score political points.

Fox News' Bill Hemmer cited an unnamed report to continue the network's dishonest attacks on the Affordable Care Act by claiming that HealthCare.gov may cost taxpayers over $1 billion -- an assertion that overstated the actual cost by more than $700 million.
On the October 25 edition of Fox's America's Newsroom, host Hemmer asked whether HealthCare.gov, the website established under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to connect Americans with health insurance exchanges, would be "the first billion-dollar website?" Hemmer then told contributor Katie Pavlich, "Government keeps throwing money after problems which shows you how government gets fat and very, very expensive," before concluding, "These people have lost their minds." The on-screen text read, "Rpt: Final Obamacare Website Costs Could Top $1 Billion."
However, as reported in a Washington Post fact-check, yesterday's congressional hearings regarding the ACA website revealed that government contracts to create the website amounted to a total value of less than $300 million. According to The Washington Post:
In the testimony, a reference was made to the fact that the TCV (total contract value) was $292 million. That is the least important number, as in effect it is like a credit card limit. What is more important is what has been already spent or obligated.
To sum up: The floor for spending on the Web site to date appears to be at least $170 million, with an upward potential of nearly $300 million.
While neither Hemmer nor Pavlich revealed the source of the report they were using to make their claims, a Media Matters search found only a Newsmax article with a similar contention. That article in turn referenced a report from Bloomberg Government. But according to Bloomberg, their study covered "all health law-related contract awards to the firms since the ACA was enacted in March 2010," not just the those related to the ACA website. That study may also be overstating the costs, considering "it assumed that most recent IT awards by the Department of Health and Human Services are ACA-related because the law's implementation has consumed an increasing share of the department's time and resources."
Fox is doubling down on misleading its viewers about the costs of the ACA -- almost literally. It was previously called out for inflating HealthCare.gov's costs to $634 million.
Fox News cut away from President Obama's speech on immigration reform while MSNBC and CNN did not. Instead of covering the president's speech, Fox chose to return to its nearly two-hour-long coverage of House Republicans' committee hearing on Healthcare.gov glitches.
While MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News all covered the beginning of President Obama's speech on immigration reform live, Fox News promptly cut away after only two minutes and forty seconds to take a commercial break before returning to its nearly-two-hour-long coverage of House Republicans' hearing on the glitches affecting Healthcare.gov. MSNBC and CNN aired the less-than-10-minute speech in its entirety.
When Fox's America's Newsroom returned from break, co-host Bill Hemmer brought the focus back to the congressional hearings, mentioning Obama's immigration speech only to theorize that it was planned to distract from the hearing "going on right down the road."
Hemmer must have forgotten that Fox frequently cuts away from remarks given by the president -- often using trivial news stories as an excuse -- when he accused Obama of attempting to distract from the House's hearing.
Fox's Bill Hemmer refused to accept a U.S. senator's correction and admonishment of the network's misreporting on the health care plans of Congress and congressional staff under the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare).
During the fight over the government shutdown and Affordable Care Act, a favorite refrain of the right-wing media and the tea party has been the line that Congress is receiving exemptions and special treatment under the ACA that normal Americans cannot obtain. This is not true -- staffers receive the same employer-sponsored health care that most employed Americans receive.
A conservative pundit repeated this myth in an October 23 segment on America's Newsroom, and when Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) came on after a commercial break to discuss violence in Egypt, he wanted to correct the record -- but Fox host Hemmer wouldn't allow it.
Near the end of Corker's interview, Hemmer revealed that the senator was displeased with Fox's handling of the Congressional exemption story in the previous segment, saying in part, "You were listening to our program a bit earlier during the commercial break. You took strong exception to the fact that you think Congress is playing by the same rules that regular Americans are playing by when it comes to Obamacare."
Corker replied, "I think there's been a lot of misreporting and sort-of a myth around what's happening with Obamacare."
The senator then made three different attempts to tell the truth about congressional coverage.
Each time, Hemmer interrupted Corker. He parroted the myth that Congress receives special treatment and rebuked Corker's explanation with claims that people "get lost" in the facts.
Right-wing media dishonestly accused President Obama and the Justice Department of "McCarthyism," "extortion," and carrying out a "vendetta" against JPMorgan Chase (JPM) after the two parties reached an historic $13 billion settlement over the company's role in the 2008 financial crisis. The attacks characterized the settlement as politicized "medieval justice," excusing JPM's responsibility for its own alleged wrongdoing and those of Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual -- two entities which played a large role in the collapse that were later acquired by JPM.
From the October 18 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom:
Fox News completely ignored the role of political brinkmanship over raising the debt ceiling in prompting a credit downgrade warning, erroneously claiming that the warning was prompted by concerns over long-term debt stabilization.
On October 15, credit rating agency Fitch placed the United States on a negative rating watch, threatening to downgrade the country's debt from "AAA" status if the debt ceiling is not raised in a timely manner.
On the October 16 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, co-host Martha MacCallum interviewed Fox Business' Stuart Varney regarding Fitch's downgrade threat, asking why the stock market has not reacted negatively to the warning. The conversation eventually turned to the United States' long-term debt prospects, with MacCallum asking if rating agencies have become less concerned about the national debt. Varney responded by claiming that not only are rating agencies still concerned about debt, but also that Fitch's warning was primarily in response to the United States' long-term debt:
MACCALLUM : It used to be that the credit rating agencies were very concerned about the long-term financial stability of the United States of America. Is that no longer the case Stuart?
VARNEY: No, they are still concerned. That's what this warning was all about. We have failed to get our long-term debt under control.
Varney's assessment of Fitch's warning is false.
At no point in their discussion did MacCallum or Varney mention the primary reason Fitch placed the United States' credit on negative watch: brinkmanship over raising the debt ceiling. In its warning, Fitch directly cited political obstacles to raising the debt ceiling as a "high" driver of the rating watch (emphasis added):
The U.S. authorities have not raised the federal debt ceiling in a timely manner before the Treasury exhausts extraordinary measures. The U.S. Treasury Secretary has said that extraordinary measures will be exhausted by 17 October, leaving cash reserves of just USD30bn. Although Fitch continues to believe that the debt ceiling will be raised soon, the political brinkmanship and reduced financing flexibility could increase the risk of a U.S. default.
While Varney contends that debt worries were a primary driver in prompting the warning, Fitch explicitly stated that current and near term debt levels (as a percentage of the economy) are consistent with the agency's "AAA" rating. Fitch did suggest that public debt should be put on a downward trend in the medium to long term, but noted this concern was secondary to the more immediate and potentially disastrous problem of failing to raise the debt ceiling.
Republicans have held firm in their unwillingness to raise the debt ceiling without extracting political concessions, most related to defunding, delaying, or eliminating provisions in the Affordable Care Act.
Virtually every other news outlet noted that Fitch was primarily concerned about brinkmanship and failure to raise the debt ceiling. Instead of noting this fact, Fox chose to continue its history of raising false alarms over the nation's debt load.
