U.N. Treaties, Carbon Taxes, Supreme Court lefties, CAFE standards, EPA edicts, Valerie Jarret...This (once great country) ain't seen nothing yet.
I'm going gun shopping over the weekend to add to my collection. Suggest others do so too, while the gettins good... or even possible.
Why would anyone be surprised? 0bama openly told the Russians that he would give them what they want after he was reelected? Yes, gun control, carbon taxes, 0bamacare taxes; 0bama has hired 16,000 new IRS agents to see that everyone pays their fair share. Americans, you voted for this man, you must suffer the consequences.
#2-don't forget to buy extra ammo before the ''Ø'bullet tax(es)''go into effect.
I know I'm a broken DVD on this, but if there was ever a time to join the NRA, this is it!http://membership.nrahq.org/
The handwriting is on the wall. Understand what is coming.
Thanks so much Average American Voter. Your ignorance and stupidity is now destroying us all. Really appreciate that.
So now it begins..... No guns - weak military and defense - what else are you gonna uncork this term... Pretty soon the workers of America will belong to 99% because he took it all! How about Benghazi maybe that could be an impeachable moment! Well America you got what you wished for Santa Clause year round...
Thank you #5. I just signed up with a life membership. Long live the NRA!
This isn't nearly as bad as what the SCOTUS could be four years from now. With Reid trying to change the Senate rules already we may have as many as seven justices that are anti second amendment before the won starts his third term in the White House.
AMMO.. don't forget that too. I know others have said it but ammo is the easiest thing for them to go after. Make sure you have plenty.
Elections used to have consequences. But that ended on 11-6-2012. That is the last election that will ever have consequences. 51% of the voters voted to turn this republic into a soviet style dictatorship.Within the next two years, all those millions of illegal aliens will be legal citizens, and fully registered Demon-RAT voters. There will not be a red state left on the map. We will become a one-party nation, fully and completely controlled by the Demon-RATS.Sure, we will still have elections every two to four years to keep up the pretense that we are still a republic, but they will just be formalities to annoint the new Demon-RAT dictator and Politburo members (oops, I mean Congress members) for the next term.As soon as NØbama flips one conservative seat on the Supreme Court, the UN gun ban will be signed, sealed and deliverd by presidential decree (and immediately deemed constitutional by the Supreme Court). If I were a conservative Supreme Court justice, I would update my will and wait for the inevitable ''accident'' that will ''accidently'' kill me any day now.I truly wish I was exagerating. But I'm trying to get this all down in writing before the ''fairness doctrine'' bans all web sites like Lucianne.com, and we lose our ability to warn everyone about what is coming.
With another term ensured, you might have known that Obama's first move would be an attack on the Constitution in this case, the Second Amendment.
Buy ammo and spare parts for your trusted weapons before they become unreachable.On the other hand, a big black market in the weapons trade will help no one but organized crime.Only the Senate can save us from the UN.
So, the leftists are Coming to disarm me under the guise of some UN Treaty negotiated by Dr. Susanne (It was the Video in Benghazi) Rice - a real ethically challenged black bimbo. Okay folks, it's time to get ready and to get tough. There will be Hell to Pay!!!

Side we -- our out of town tryout in San Diego -- so when we're hopefully coming to Broadway sometime next year all right.
And so for people who are fans of yours and I know we have a lot of watching people -- getting to know you right now.
Tell -- a little bit about yourself I know you're born and raised in New York City yeah I'm a born and raised Brooklyn native my parents actually still there may not be -- Brooklyn tech and I went to a math and science has put New York caught Stuyvesant High School there.
And but you know I was doing my studies during the day and then I would.
Save -- -- my allowance money and go get a half has to get it TK TS who -- -- Broadway Show race.
You know after school and I would do the high school musicals and somehow the math and science -- you know into theater as part of my concentration.
That's what I decided to do and I went at Carnegie Mellon university in Pittsburgh.
To study music theater and done I lucked out I graduated had a Broadway Show this week no big deal yeah I think.
And it was the 2002 revival of not far from solved.
So an ever since then I've been lucky enough you know -- it just to -- doing this and in state.
But as a performer as a profession and that in addition to the work on Broadway of course we're here to have you talked to us about your music comment about the CD that -- come out and we are going to play a little clip of it.
Who want to introduce you to some of his music if you don't know it.
Here's a little -- Okay.
We want to make sure that people know exactly how powerfully the voices.
And we want to play that clip -- -- up front that was actually from a concert that I recently did at this.
Brand new beautiful space called 54 below.
And it's the basement of hit the historic studio 54 to yeah nightlife -- the seventies and right and you know that that space is gone through such that such an interest in transformational went from being a nightclub.
To this Broadway theater and my second -- -- I was actually in that building as well of the senate -- revival of Pacific overtures that was there.
And then now -- turned the basement of the space into.
Broadway's cabaret room you know it's kind of were -- prop -- folks like like me go and down and and you are more intimate.
-- -- are more intimate concerts and -- pilot -- and -- the room you know it's -- bit earlier this year and so I was lucky enough to also perform there as well house is ready Sunday.
How special let's talk about the CD it's all cover you.
-- Broadway that's a favorite Broadway lots of years -- I'll cover you I wanted to name the album.
Alchemy for two reasons -- I'll cover you it's my favorite brought a -- song from rent a show that I did.
On Broadway I was in the final company the last two years apparent that it was on Broadway.
And I also wanted to do an album of cover tunes so if there was a soundtrack to my life this.
Album which he would see you handpicked elevated I did yes Elvis songs kind of have -- a special meaning to me.
But -- we also decided that we wanted to make the listeners hear the songs.
In a brand new and fresh way so they're arranged with a jazz trio of -- which -- piano bass and drums and then also with a string quartet.
The kind that those are the only instruments we've used on the album there's ones there's one song let's just guitar but we really wanted to focus on how to we.
Meet these songs sound new and exciting infraction like what the -- -- -- for the first time with just these instruments.
General lot of artists a lot of -- musicians that -- you do this because I saw on your website which -- will tell people to go to there it is right there.
On www.
-- online dot net I was going through your web site.
And what I appreciated so much that you put on there.
Was that video of you in rehearsal yes.
And and getting a chance to see I mean everybody loves behind the scenes the -- shot so keep keep those coming because it's so great to see the work that goes into this.
You hear it it's fantastic but to be able to have that background and that history of what you went through to make this news on is really something special tell us about the -- -- -- You know it's so interesting I always I'm an only child in a grip as -- only -- of immigrant parents who could only -- -- -- I didn't have any Brothers and sisters you know.
I think I got into the -- -- -- -- theater because it's instant family right and I think I got into it you know you can get into it for the money and the fame but I got into it because.
Every day my job is to collaborate with other artists -- create something new.
And I have three amazing musical collaborators on the CD with me.
Michael Slater who's the head of yellow sound people.
He's also she Rivera's it's not musical director wow and she'd and also Alan -- are also on his label was well that's great -- folks on there so I knew it was going to be well taken care of there.
Might basis.
-- -- some of the arrangements her name is Marion McSweeney didn't and she does a lot of jazz arrangements for Jamont -- and other.
Just artist she's a real -- cool -- have yet you know the facts and Gary Adler.
Is also my musical director plays -- piano.
On the album and he's actually the musical director across the street here at the Radio City Music Hall I don't -- the spectacular and he's also one of the -- composers.
Other hit off probably -- Alter boys so I had a really good musical minds that need help me on this album and it's really labor of love between all four of us.
It's so nice to you to recognize those musicians my husband's a drummer so I'll -- you know like it is sometimes artists -- seat in -- center -- don't get to hear about the band.
On the -- of -- atmosphere I think I've only as good as my -- -- Let's talk about some of the songs quickly before we have to let you go -- selling your favorites I know that some of -- you know you've got to Madonna song.
And tell us about what other artists -- -- the Madonna song is so funny it's it's Papa don't preach shelf which you know I as an -- Kate you know growing up and it's Chinese -- parents barely spoke into.
This -- at eight years old and I've you know Madonna doesn't have the most family friendly.
Liberation Strahan did it was kind of racing in the eighties right but.
I didn't know eight years old so I learned every -- every Madonna song and I felt that the top my lungs that you know this a -- right I don't preach.
It's so controversial but but -- my parents to know any better readers that they would let me think you know it's kind of like all this week we all have those songs you know you know lay lady lay you -- -- Others thought -- like a kids you know everybody learns the leaders that's -- the what's the song really -- not I have wanted to do is shout out to all those inappropriate song that's Corey that we and I was also wanted to include some top forty songs I wanted to include Kate Perry's firework on their T yeah.
Because it's a song that I feel like this is such a big top forty hit everybody knows it.
It's actually a wonderful solved for the about the -- -- -- a wonderful song about recognizing.
Kind of that's the beauty and the spark that we -- have in office.
You know as individuals and so I wanted to kind of strip away the big dance field with Katie version and like really focus on her words.
And her music and personality is -- so.
What a great idea yeah and we want to tell people to go to the website where can people buy this -- -- you can buy it wherever you get all all the music that you like Amazon.com.

Spotify all of those great things.

text: Hey all, I just gotted my first chip and put it in today. It's a modbo 2.0, save me the "clone lecture". I can't get it to load anything but the "real" media and it boots just like it did before I modded it (no matrix logo, straight to game/movie). I'm wondering if this chip is picky about long wires or if I need to load some sort of firmware into the mem card to get it to work... any help would be great!

This pages explains when to use defcustom, when to use defvar, when to use defconst, and when to start the DocString with an asterisk '*'
. Variables with DocStrings that start with an asterisk are possible candidates for 'M-x set-variable'
. Since the user is supposed to type the new value into the MiniBuffer, the possible values must be simple to type!
Look at BufferLocalVariable for variables that have a different value in every buffer (such as 'buffer-file-name'
or 'defcustom'
. The DocString should start with '*'
. If the value is a long list, or a function, or if the variable would be set only in init files, then don't start the documentation string with '*'
. Maybe start DocString with '*'
. See above for details.'defcustom'
or 'defvar'
. Maybe start DocString with '*'
. See above for details.'defvar'
. Do not start DocString with '*'
. Do not start DocString with '*'
expressions specially. Normally, evaluating a 'defvar'
expression does nothing if the variable it defines already has a value. But C-M-x unconditionally resets the variable to the initial value specified in the 'defvar'
expression. 'defcustom'
expressions are treated similarly. This special feature is convenient for debugging Lisp programs. From GNU Emacs 24.3 on, docstrings starting with '*'
no longer indicate user options. Only variables defined using 'defcustom'
are considered user options. – XueFuqiao

Mercedes-Benz Eyeglasses and Shades
Filed under: Apparel
Mercedes-Benz is trying something new, and they're jumping in with both feet. In collaboration with Allison SpA, they've come up with designs for 40 different eyeglass and sunglass frames. They unveiled the new endeavor at the recently concluded Fashion Week in Berlin, and I have to say that I think they've really gotten it right. The designs look hip and modern, but not so trendy that they're not versatile enough for everyday wear. Prices range from $233-$330 for the Mercedes-Benz eyeglass frames and $220-$357 for the sunglasses.

As an Ohio State Alum I am getting sick and tired of the press using the Ohio State NCAA violations as a comparison to what major violations other Colleges have committed and claiming they are one in the same or that Ohio State was worse and only received a "slap on the wrist". This is nothing more than the same unethical reporting style we have seen since day one! I thought a reporters job was to justify their opinion with facts? I guess in today's world web-hits mean more to these guys than ethical reporting.
Couple new and a couple old but it goes to my point:
Yahoo Sports:
Charles Robinson
March 12, 2012
"The 15 scholarship losses over three seasons is a stiffer sanction than the nine scholarships docked from Ohio State in December, after the Buckeyes were embroiled in an extra-benefits scandal and concealment that ultimately cost coach Jim Tressel his job. Ohio State also received a bowl ban for one year (2012), as well as a five-year show cause penalty for Tressel."
MY FAVORITE - Athlon thinks ESPN loves Ohio State!
Athlon Sports
"The sheer depth and breadth of the North Carolina violations mean that the Tar Heels are going to get hit a lot harder than the Buckeyes, and it's not just because Ohio State is Ohio State and ESPN loves them. All of the things of which North Carolina's program has been accused are all of the things that are reputed to be the deepest, darkest evils possible in college football. Academic fraud and agents handing over cash do and should trump players selling helmets and pants."
Ted Miller
December 20, 2011
"Breathe, USC fans, breathe.
In fact, I'd suggest you ignore what happened Tuesday with Ohio State and its slap on the wrist from the NCAA for a massive systemic breakdown and a coverup by head coach, Jim Tressel.
Yes, when you hold up the Ohio State case and the USC case, it's impossible not to conclude the Ohio State case was far more severe. It was, of course, without question. No informed, objective person believes differently."

Thayer Evans
Fox Sports
December 21, 2011
The Ohio State University still doesn't get it.
That's the only way to explain athletic director Gene Smith's asinine response Tuesday to the NCAA's Committee on Infractions slapping the Buckeyes with a one-year post-season ban, the loss of nine scholarships over the next three years and three years of probation along with other penalties for football players receiving more than $16,400 in impermissible benefits.
You see, Ohio State's Dumb (Smith) and Dumber (university president Gordon Gee) brain trust wanted the Committee on Infractions to accept its meager self-imposed penalties of vacating the 2010 season, returning approximately $340,000 in money from last season's Sugar Bowl, going on probation for two years and having five fewer scholarships over the next three seasons, all conveniently WITHOUT A POSTSEASON BAN.
Full Story: http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/ohio-state-ncaa-sanctions...
There are so many reporters that I don't believe reviewed any facts before putting their opinions out there nor do they use the actual violations in their very generalized comparisons.
USC's Infraction:
1. UNETHICAL CONDUCT; VIOLATIONS OF AMATEURISM LEGISLATION; FAILURE TO REPORT KNOWLEDGE OF NCAA VIOLATIONS. [NCAA Bylaws 10.1-(d), 12.01.1, 12.1.1, 12.1.2-(a), 12.3.1, 18.104.22.168 and 30.3.5 (2009-10 NCAA Division I Manual)]
Beginning in October 2004 and continuing until November 2005, two individuals (for the purposes of this report, "agency partners A and B" respectively), were in the process of forming a sports agency and marketing company, in partnership with student-athlete 1 and his step-father and mother ("the parents"). In the course of this relationship, agency partners A and B gave student-athlete 1 and his parents impermissible benefits in the form of cash, merchandise, an automobile, housing, hotel lodging and transportation. As a result of the receipt of these benefits, student-athlete 1 competed for the football team while ineligible. This ineligibility began at least by December 2004 and encompasses the 2005 Orange Bowl game and the entire 2005 football season, including postseason competition. Further, the assistant football coach knew or should have known that student-athlete 1 and agency partners A and B were engaged in violations that negatively affected student-athlete 1's amateurism status. The assistant football coach provided false and misleading information to the enforcement staff concerning his knowledge of agency partner A's and B's activity and also violated NCAA legislation by signing a document certifying that he had no knowledge of NCAA violations.
Read Full NCAA report:
UNC Infraction:
[NCAA Bylaws 10.1, 10.1-(b) and 14.11.1]
During the 2008-09 academic year and summer of 2009, the former tutor and
student-athletes 1, 2 and 3 failed to deport themselves in accordance with the
generally recognized high standards of honesty and sportsmanship normally
associated with the conduct and administration of intercollegiate athletics and
violated provisions of ethical conduct legislation when they engaged in academic
fraud. As a result of the academic fraud, student-athlete 1 competed while
ineligible during the 2008 football season, student-athlete 2 competed while
ineligible during the 2009 and 2010 football seasons, and student-athlete 3
competed while ineligible during the 2008 and 2009 football seasons.
Read Full Report:
Ohio State's Infraction:
1. PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT. [NCAA Bylaws 18.104.22.168.6, 14.11.1, 16.1.4
and 188.8.131.52] (2010-11 Manual)
Between November 2008 and June 2010, eight football student-athletes ("studentathletes
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8" respectively) received preferential treatment from
and, other than student-athletes 2 and 7, sold athletics awards, apparel and/or
equipment to the tattoo parlor owner as set forth below:
Read Full Report:
I apologize for putting all this reading material up but sometimes reading actual facts makes more sense than reading bias opinion. When the Ohio State sanctions were released 8 out 10 sports reporters came out in a false rage, disgusted, outraged, bewildered on the proverbial Ohio State "Slap on the wrist". In order for these same reporters to save face and not have to admit they over-reacted they must continue to thrust Ohio State into the conversation as the most corrupt offender of NCAA rules every time someone else gets punished for something more egregious. These reporters should win Academy Awards for the wonderful ability to continue to hold up the act of being so infuriated that Ohio State only received a slap on the wrist while Major NCAA University Violator "A, B, and C" were so unjustly punished.
The only similarity in all of these is that each Head Coach knowingly lied, the rest of the violations are day and night in comparison and hold no equal weight in any debate.
Happy NCAA report reading.

There are some really great children's toys out there … but the iPotty isn't one of them.
The 2-In-1 iPotty with Activity Seat for iPad by CTA Digital was just named the worst toy of the year by Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood.
When asked why this toy was so destructive, one voter said, "Toilet learning should be a time of positive interaction between child and caregiver. Also, children should be aware of the cues in their bodies as they learn. This toy takes this social/emotional focus out of the process and substitutes the hypnotism of a screen." (CFC)

Statins: Are these cholesterol-lowering drugs right for you?
Find out whether your risk factors for heart disease make you a good candidate for statin therapy.
By Mayo Clinic staffStatins are drugs that can lower your cholesterol. They work by blocking a substance your body needs to make cholesterol. Statins may also help your body reabsorb cholesterol that has built up in plaques on your artery walls, preventing further blockage in your blood vessels and heart attacks.
Statins include well-known medications such as atorvastatin (Lipitor), simvastatin (Zocor), lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), rosuvastatin (Crestor) and others. Lower cost generic versions of many statin medications are available.
Already shown to be effective in lowering cholesterol, statins may have other potential benefits. But doctors are far from knowing everything about statins. Are they right for everybody with high cholesterol? What happens when you take a statin for decades? Can statins help prevent other diseases?
Should you be on a statin?
Whether you need to be on a statin depends on your cholesterol level along with your other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
High cholesterol
If you have high cholesterol, meaning your total cholesterol level is 240 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (6.22 millimoles per liter, or mmol/L) or higher, or your low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, or "bad" cholesterol) level is 130 mg/dL (3.37 mmol/L) or higher, your doctor may recommend you begin to take a statin. But the numbers alone won't tell you or your doctor the whole story.
If the only risk factor you have is high cholesterol, you may not need medication because your risk of heart attack and stroke could otherwise be low. High cholesterol is only one of a number of risk factors for heart attack and stroke.
Other risk factors
Before you're prescribed a statin, your cholesterol level is considered along with other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including:
- Family history of high cholesterol or cardiovascular disease
- Inactive (sedentary) lifestyle
- High blood pressure
- Poor general health
- Having diabetes
- Overweight or obesity
- Smoking
- Narrowing of the arteries in your neck, arms or legs (peripheral artery disease)
If your doctor decides you should take a statin, you and your doctor will have to decide what dose to take. Statins come in varied doses — from as low as 5 milligrams to as much as 80 milligrams, depending on the medication. If you need to decrease your LDL cholesterol significantly — by 50 percent or more — it's likely you'll be prescribed a higher dose of statins. If your LDL cholesterol isn't as high, you'll likely need a lower dose. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns about the amount of statins you're taking.
Lifestyle is still key for lowering cholesterol
Lifestyle changes are essential for reducing your risk of heart disease, whether you take a statin or not. Lifestyle changes you should consider making include:
- Quitting smoking
- Eating a healthy diet that's low in fat, cholesterol and salt
- Exercising 30 minutes a day on most days of the week
- Managing stress
If you're following the recommended lifestyle behaviors but your cholesterol — particularly your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the "bad" cholesterol — remains high, statins might be an option for you. Risk factors for heart disease and stroke are:
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Being overweight or obese
- Family history of heart disease
- Not exercising
- Heavy alcohol use
- Poor stress and anger management
- Older age
- Smoking
- Narrowing of the arteries in your neck, arms or legs (peripheral artery disease)
Consider statins a lifelong commitment
You may think that once your cholesterol goes down, you can stop taking medication. But, if your cholesterol levels have decreased after you take a statin, you'll likely need to stay on it indefinitely. If you stop taking it, your cholesterol levels will probably go back up.
The exception may be if you make significant changes to your diet or lose a lot of weight. Substantial lifestyle changes may help you lower your cholesterol without continuing to take the medication, but don't make any changes to your lifestyle or medications without talking to your doctor first.
The side effects of statins
Although statins are well tolerated by most people, they do have side effects, some of which may go away as your body adjusts to the medication.
Common, less serious side effects
- Muscle and joint aches (most common)
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
Potentially serious side effects
Liver damage. Occasionally, statin use causes an increase in liver enzymes. If the increase is only mild, you can continue to take the drug. Rarely, if the increase is severe, you may need to stop taking it. Certain other cholesterol-lowering drugs, such as gemfibrozil (Lopid) and niacin (Niacor, Niaspan), increase the risk of liver problems even more in people who take statins.
Although liver problems are rare, your doctor will likely order a liver enzyme test before or shortly after you begin to take a statin. You shouldn't need any additional liver enzyme tests unless you begin to have signs or symptoms of trouble with your liver. Contact your doctor immediately if you have unusual fatigue or weakness, loss of appetite, pain in your upper abdomen, dark-colored urine, or yellowing of your skin or eyes.
- Muscle problems. Statins may cause muscle pain and tenderness (statin myopathy). The higher the dose of statin you take, the more likely you are to have muscle pains. In severe cases, muscle cells can break down (rhabdomyolysis) and release a protein called myoglobin into the bloodstream. Myoglobin can damage your kidneys. Certain drugs when taken with statins can increase the risk of rhabdomyolysis. These include gemfibrozil (Lopid), erythromycin (Erythrocin), antifungal medications, nefazodone, cyclosporine (Restasis, Sandimmune) and niacin (Niacor, Niaspan). If you take statins and have new muscle aching or tenderness, check with your doctor.
- Increased blood sugar or type 2 diabetes. It's possible your blood sugar (blood glucose) level may increase when you take a statin, which may lead to developing type 2 diabetes. The risk is small, but important enough that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires a warning on statin labels regarding blood glucose levels and diabetes. Despite this possible connection between increased blood sugar and statin use, it's still safe for most people with high cholesterol, including diabetics, to take statins. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns.
- Neurological side effects. Some researchers have studied whether statins could be linked to memory loss or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. While there's little evidence that statins can cause ALS, the FDA says some people who take statins have developed memory loss or confusion while taking statins. These side effects reverse once you stop taking the medication. Talk to your doctor if you experience memory loss or confusion. Don't stop taking your statin medication before talking to your doctor.
It's important to consider the effects of statins on other organs in your body, especially if you have health problems such as liver or kidney disease. Also, check whether statins interact with any other prescription or over-the-counter drugs or supplements you take.
Keep in mind that when you begin to take a statin, you'll most likely be on it for the rest of your life. Side effects are often minor, but if you experience them, you may want to talk to your doctor about decreasing your dose or trying a different statin. Don't stop taking a statin without talking to your doctor first.

The USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism is in a building that's no more than a short field goal away from the entrance to Heritage Hall on the university's campus.
It's an extra point, really. Fairly easy to convert by either an injured scholarship athlete or a non-injured walk-on. No matter what his name might be.
The point is, as much as the facilities should be operating miles apart, they might save some space and put themselves under the same roof.
There's a paranoid football coach on campus who wants to keep all reporting on injuries that occur at practice to be a cone-of-silence curriculum initiative.
As all involved are trying to be cordial and compliant, isn't this simply an issue of censorship?
It's Journalism 101, kids. Listen to your professors. You're right in the middle of a real-life lesson.
Anyone ready to carpe some diem?
We realize the definition of "media" and "reporters" can appear to be quite murky these days.
But when a person in authority tries to stifle information in the name of trying to protect other teams from gaining a competitive advantage, where is the rebelliousness of a journalism student to throw a challenge flag?
Surely it can't be because, as one of the working journalists in Southern California suggested, that in the alternative reality known as college football, the head coach is the most powerful person on campus?
Lane Kiffin, an employee at a private institution that can clearly make its own rules, can't force everyone to sign a paper that says their Twitter accounts will be funneled through his office, and any stories on the team must come with a disclaimer: This message was not approved by the University of Southern California.
He can just end this childishness and just ban everyone from practice and force them to work a little extra harder to gain information.
Someone like Trojans prized center Khaled Holmes might not have a healthy leg to stand on going into today's game against Cal.
But isn't this whole suppression of information leading to Kiffin and the university ultimately cutting itself off at the knees?
On the average, Melky Cabrera hasn't made many smart decisions this year.
But in coming out now to proclaim he's not interested in winning the National League batting title while he's serving a 50-game suspension for PED, does it mean all the most recent career and season home run records are apt to be recalculated at some point down this slippery slope?
The Kings canceled their popular Frozen Fury exhibition game in Las Vegas set for a week from tonight.
Instead of a ticket refund, can we still go to the MGM as planned and bet on whether the NHL regular season will start before the Jan. 1 Winter Classic?
The Kings' list of names they'd like engraved on the Stanley Cup numbers 52. And only 24 are players? And Jack Johnson can't be one of them?

APD > Provider Rankings
APD Provider Scorecards Overview
The Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) is publishing scorecards for two groups of vital Medicaid waiver providers who serve Floridians with developmental disabilities. These rankings will be an initial baseline score. APD's scorecards will be adjusted over time as input is received from stakeholders.
All state agencies are developing provider scorecards to increase transparency and accountability to the public. The APD provider scorecards are intended to measure, evaluate, and improve performance. The long term goal is to improve the quality of state funded services.
These providers contract with the state of Florida under the Home and Community-Based Services waivers.
APD Director Michael Hansen said, "We worked with stakeholders to begin this process of scoring providers, however, we want to continue the dialogue to make this evaluation process better. We want to hear specific ideas on how to measure the quality of the services to our customers."
Customers, families, and providers are encouraged to submit suggestions and ideas to their local area office on ways to improve the ranking process. The scorecards are posted on the agency's website APDcares.org.
Below each column heading is a link labeled "Column Explanation." These links provide definitions and explanations for each column.
Please note, the Provider Scorecard is in process of being revamped. The new scorecard will take effect for the third quarter ending March 31, 2013.

"Societies that invest in and empower women are on a virtuous cycle. They become richer, more stable, better governed, and less prone to fanaticism.Countries that limit women's educational and employment opportunities and their political voice get stuck in a downward spiral. They are poorer, more fragile, have higher levels of corruption, and are more prone to extremism."
So writes Isobel Coleman, in her new book, Paradise Beneath Her Feet: How Women are Transforming the Middle East. Coleman is the Director of the Women and Foreign Policy Program and SeniorFellow for U.S. Foreign Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations. This important book illustrates how and why women are at the core of human progress in the twenty-first century.
On Wednesday, May 5, 2010 women from across the country will participate in a conference call with Dr. Coleman sponsored by the Council. The topic, Islamic Feminism: Moderating Extremism in the Middle East, is significantly informed by her research in Paradise Beneath Her Feet, as well as Dr. Coleman's over-all expertise on economic development; gender issues in the Middle East and Southwest Asia; foreign aid; microfinance and educational reform in the Middle East.

Media: Wayne Hart Communications Manager Makita U.S.A. (714) 522-8088 x 4410 email@example.com
Consumer: (800) 4-MAKITA makitatools.com
March 28, 2010 - Battling the extremely windy conditions in Fontana, California, and the field of competitors, the Rockstar Makita Suzuki SuperBike team managed two top-10 finishes on Saturday. The first of a doubleheader at the Auto Club Speedway, Saturday's race was postponed until the 50-mile-an-hour winds calmed down enough for the racers to take to the track. Blake Young on the No. 79 GSX-R1000 and Tommy Hayden on the No. 22 GSX-R1000 took their spot on the starting grid after only a 10-minute warm-up session before the race. The grid was determined by Friday's early qualifying races, as the weather was more conducive to racing. At the start of the race, Young and Hayden shot out in the middle of the top-10 riders. Young managed to work his way closer to the front of the pack, where the top five racers were trading spots in close quarters. He made it all the way to third place by the middle of the 21-lap race, but as all the leaders on Saturday encountered the ill effects of the gusting winds, Young was pushed slightly off course and pushed back into fifth place where he finished the race. Hayden initially struggled off the start, and battled his way up to a sixth-place finish. Hayden was second in points going into the race, and now is currently in third.

Obesity treatments could be one way to help women get into good health before having a child.
According to recent research conducted for the Centre for Maternal and Child Enquiries (CMACE), around five per cent of expectant mothers in the UK are now classified as obese.
Professor James Walker, chair of the CMACE, commented: "The numbers of obese mothers are on the rise and this group of women require specialist care since they are more susceptible to illnesses and complications.
"So far, there hasn't been a UK-wide study on the extent of the problem but we now have very good data on how these women are cared for and the areas where improvements are urgently needed."
This study found that maternity units were not well-prepared to cater for the needs of very overweight women.
However, health professionals suggested that the solution lies in helping women to lose weight before they fall pregnant to improve their health and that of their child.
The study also found that just 55 per cent of women with a Body Mass Index of 35 and above gave birth naturally.

TROWBRIDGE & DISTRICT LEAGUE DIVISION ONE: Boomsbury romp to opening-day win (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

TROWBRIDGE & DISTRICT LEAGUE DIVISION ONE: Boomsbury romp to opening-day win
12:00pm Monday 3rd September 2012 in Sport
LAST season's Trowbridge Windows & Conservatories sponsored-Trowbridge & District Football League Division One champions Trowbridge Wanderers began the defence of their title with a plum opening day fixture at Ben Howe's title favourites Boomsbury.
Wanderers, who had lost manager Dan Mercer and a number of their title-winning side to Bradford Town Reserves in the close season, were always going to be up against it and so it proved as Boomsbury romped to a 9-1 victory to send out an early warning to the rest of the division.
Carl Davies, who was the star of the show for Boomsbury in their comeback win over Calne Eagles in last term's Division Two Cup final, picked up where he left off from on that May evening at Weymouth Street.
Davies netted a first-half treble with further goals from Pete Spong, Booker Woodford and Matt Jones giving them a 6-0 interval lead.
The goals may have dried up in the second period but a second from Woodford along with a goal from Rueben Spong and substitute Neil Hannaford took the tally to nine, with Wanderers reply coming from Tom Pang.
Freshford United 2 Westbury United Reserves 2
ONE of the eye catching matches of the opening day was at Brown's Park, Freshford, where Hughie Fulton's villagers and last term's runners up entertained Phil Alford's Westbury United Reserves, who had finished just below them in the standings.
Honours were shared last term with one win apiece so it was little surprise that the first meeting of the sides this term ended in stalemate.
Marc Lanfear saw his opener for Westbury cancelled out by Elliott Carris-Smith, who headed Freshford level within a minute of his side falling behind.
Westbury retook the lead just before half time when Ashley Easton scored from the penalty spot to give the visitors a 2-1 half time advantage.
With time running out and the points on their way back to Westbury, up popped Carris-Smith to head home his second for Fulton's men to deny Westbury what would have been an important win at this very early stage of proceedings.
Castle Combe 1 North Bradley 7
A NEW-LOOK North Bradley side under Paul Ranger travelled to Castle Combe and, with Bradley expected to be off the pace for their first game in the division, it was Combe who were predicted to take the points.
The pundits were proved wrong as Bradley turned on the style with a storming second-half display to hammer their hosts 7-1.
Bradley started the game well but against the run of play they fell behind to a Carl Dawson goal, but they responded well and fashioned an equaliser before the break with Lewis Smith making it 1-1.
The second half it was all Bradley as they hit six unanswered goals, Dean Ranger helped himself to a hat-trick, Dave Appleyard grabbed a double and a second of the afternoon from Smith completed the romp.
Semington Magpies 2 Bradford United 1
SEMINGTON Magpies may have closed out last season with a 3-1 defeat at Bradford United, but when the sides meet at Magpies Littlemarsh base at the weekend it was Ricky King's hosts who prevailed, taking the spoils thanks to their 2-1 win.
It what was a surprisingly dour season's opener it was Bradford who struck the first blow with Tom Bouquet heading them ahead on 20 minutes.
Semington were level 10 minutes later, when they were awarded a penalty after Dan Rimmer had been brought down. Andy Harrison kept his cool as he tucked the ball home for 1-1.
Semington wrapped up the points on 35 minutes after a good move down the right wing involving Ricky King and Dan Rimmer resulted in Rich Allum tapping in the winner at the far post.

Lee, Romero looking for longer outings
Sure, Lee is winless despite a 3.18 ERA and his usually dominant strikeout totals, but at least he's still on the mound.
That's more than can be said for three-fifths of the Blue Jays' rotation, as Drew Hutchison on Friday became the third starter this week Toronto has had to pull because of injury.
Hutchison made only nine pitches before leaving with soreness in his right arm. Earlier in the week, Brandon Morrow (strained left oblique) and Kyle Drabek (torn ulnar collateral ligament) were placed on the disabled list.
Trying to buck that trend on Saturday will be left-hander Ricky Romero, who is coming off his shortest start of the season after giving up four runs (three earned) on eight hits in just four innings on Sunday against Atlanta.
Lee also tied his shortest start of the season his last time out, allowing four runs on seven hits in six innings against Baltimore.
Still, manager Charlie Manuel is confident that Lee's turnaround is right around the corner.
"Cliff is going to throw a gem sooner than later," Manuel said. "I think he will go on one of his streaks where he wins and he shuts people out, too. Hopefully, it starts Saturday. That's how I look at it."
Phillies: Errors proving costly
In the fourth inning on Friday, the Phillies committed their 13th error in their last nine games when third baseman Mike Fontenot fielded a one-hopper and threw it into right field, allowing Jose Bautista to score. Opponents have scored against Philadelphia in nine of the last 10 innings in which the team committed an error.
The Phillies had made just 13 errors in the 27 games before this stretch.
Hunter Pence is hitting .412 during his eight-game on-base streak.
The Phillies entered Friday's series opener averaging a Major League-best 5.12 runs per game on the road but were shut out for the first time since April 18.
Blue Jays: Johnson staying consistent
With his 2-for-3 outing on Friday, second baseman Kelly Johnson has reached base safely in 31 of his last 34 games and 50 of 59 contests this season.
Worth noting
Blue Jays left fielder Rajai Davis is 6-for-11 with a double and a triple in his career against Lee.

You want to place blame for terrible acts such as this? Look no further than Hollywood. All during the 1800's and the early 1900's most people had guns and many carried them daily. Yet this type of senseless killing did not take place. But late in the 20th century Hollywood decided graphic violence had to be presented in the goriest detail possible. So for the past 20-30 years our children have grown up exposed to needless violence that Hollywood portrays as entertainment. And the liberals of Hollywood will be the ones screaming the most loud that we need more gun control all the while creating more fake violence to "entertain" our youth (but really to line their pockets with more gold). These people are such hypocrites! Of course the liberal politicians will all jump on the gun control bandwagon while holding their hand out to Hollywood for more money. And many parents will continue to allow their children to watch violent movies while crying about the horrible acts that are committed. Wake up and think about it.

This is the leftmost tufa feature on the north face of Dinosaur Rock. It shares its first 45 feet with Patience Face, but where Patience Face moves right, head straight up onto "The Shaft." Love it up... continuous and physical.
This is on the left side of the north face of Dinosaur Rock. Please access this climb and Pretty in Pinkler only from the switchback along the Mallory Cave Trail. That is, don't approach up from the toe of Dinosaur Rock or walk down that way when done climbing. It's very steep there and will only contribute to erosion.
Previously: 1. Ascend the west face of Dinosaur Rock (4th class/5.0). Drop over the summit to a small ledge one the east face, eight feet down. 2. On this ledge, tie a rigging rope (static line) through a hole/thread in a big flake. You could back this up with cams or other flakes/horns there. Rap due east down this line, along the slab of Dinosaur Rock. 3. About 100 feet down, you'll build your back-up/directional anchor in a good crack over the lip above the finish. Use medium cams here in a good slot. 4. Rap a little more from here to get situated with your ropes on the lip. Drop a 60-meter toprope down. 5. On the way down you'll want a Metolius #4 TCU and, lower, a yellow C3 as directionals. Now: 10 bolts.
I'll bet people would enjoy this climb more if it was bolted. Sounds like you guys got some strict rules out there. Ouch.
This is now (9/24/10) a lead climb, with 10 bolts to double-bolt anchors at the lip. You need a 60-meter rope. Bolted and climbed by Paul G and Matt S. A million thanks to OSMP and Rick Hatfield, the Flatirons Climbing Council, and the Access Fund for making it possible to install new routes in the Flatirons. Enjoy the climb!
The Shaft is awesome and quite clean considering how recently it was bolted - no reason to wait on more traffic. Thanks for putting this up.
Another great line at Dino Rock - fun and bolted perfectly. Climbing turns exceptional at the upper arete/bulge/tufa section, and it's nice having a line a little easier on this face. Thanks, guys, for putting it up.
Good climbing but the consistency is broken by a huge no hands rest before the crux. I would have called it quits at the last bolt placement as the additional moves to the chains add no difficulty except for an awkward clip to claim the send. Still, a nice pitch with plenty of tricky moves.
Thanks for the comments, Ian. We had debated where the anchors should be, but put them high � top of the wall � to be consistent with our FHRC application and with the other Dino Rock climbs, which also go to the lip of the north face. If you get over your foot and reach left around the arete, there are some good sidepull crimps that making clipping the anchors a snap. I think this adds one more 5.10/5.11 crux, too, which is nice.
Superb route. Thanks to Paul and Matt. One or two of the hangars are loose. I'd suggest bringing a wrench to tighten them up if you plan on getting on The Shaft.
Excellent route! Thanks for putting it up!
This route is awesome. I can't believe it's so new. Thanks for putting it up. As of yesterday (May 10th, 2011) all of the bolts and hangers felt solid. Do NOT read further if you do not want beta. I always find it interesting to read other climbers beta and to have solid route descriptions in guide books so hopefully this is helpful for some..... Climb an easy but harder than it looks section for the first 2 bolts getting close to a rotten, right-facing corner. From here, if you're pumped, you can stuff your left leg up under a large block/flake and get a bomber and comfortabled no hands rest. This felt unnecessary but still fun to get it. And I have seen some people miss it and hang a bolt or two after so try getting it. From there, you traverse right on crimps and good feet for several bolts til you hit a huge ledge. From the ledge, get high feet and clip the bolt at the bottom of the tufa and arete so you're protected for you rest. Once clipped, you can climb right about 10 feet into a nice little alcove where you can get a no hands standing or seated rest. Take it, because the next section climbing on the tufa is pretty full on for about 30 feet and is definitely the hardest part of the route. Though there doesn't seem to be any overly difficult moves, the pump is maddening until you pull over the final bulge. Just over the bulge and a little travere right to some nice jugs to another ledge. From there, take a little rest before doing the last 2 moves to the upper anchors. I have heard some people have difficulty making the clip. For this, look far left and you will see a chalked hold that is a good crimp kind of sidepull. It is easy clipping the anchors from this handhold, and the feet are solid. Overall, a really good route with fun climbing and fun rests right when you need it. I would imagine that over time some of the holds down low will break off, because there is a lot of questionable rock down low, but the higher you climb the better the route gets. Great route, though. Do it!!!
APPROACH NOTE: Please access this climb and Pretty in Pinkler only from the switchback along the Mallory Cave Trail. That is, don't approach up from the toe of Dinosaur Rock or walk down that way when done climbing. It's very steep there and will only contribute to erosion.
Outstanding route with lots of interesting and varied moves, and a huge pump factor at the end! I can't think of a better sport route in Boulder. Thanks to Matt et al, and OSMP for making this route happen!
Wow! Best 12b sport route in the Front Range? Probably!
Well done, Matt! Outstanding route! When is the Patience Face going in? Many thanks for all your hard work establishing quality climbs for the community.
Glad you like the route, Chris! Patience Face passed at the last FHRC meeting, so we plan to put it in once it warms up (spring 2012).
The undercling starting the climbing after the rest was pulled off the route over the weekend, but it should not affect the climb too much or change the grade. Almost hit a little girl at the base...careful out there.
We yarded off the loose block with the X between the first and second bolts today. What's remaining might (**might**) creak a little when pulled out on, especially the left side of the complex, but it is avoidable. Use caution, and if it still seems iffy then feel free to send the thing.
