Russian Neo Nazi Groups Tricking And Torturing Gay Male Teens
This is Putin's Russia.
Neo Nazis in the country have been advised by a top-ranking supremacist to create fake profiles on VK.com (a popular Russian social network) and lure in gay male teens for torture.
Spectrum Human Rights Alliance has more on the continued deterioration in Russia:
Infamous Russian ultranationalist and former skin head, Maxim Martsinkevich, known under the nickname "Cleaver" (or "Tesak" in Russian) spearheaded a country wide campaign against LGBT teens using a popular social network VK.com to lure unsuspected victims through personal ads. Mr. Martsinkevich's numerous and enthusiastic followers started two projects: "Occupy Pedophilyaj" and "Occupy Gerontilyaj". Allegedly they are trying to identify and report pedophiles using these "movements".
In reality, over 500 online groups have been created inside VK.com social network in order to organize illegal militant groups in every Russian city. Oddly enough their idea of fighting pedophiles targets exclusively male teenagers who respond to the same-sex personal ads and show up for a date. Captured victims are bullied and often tortured while being recorded on video. These self-proclaimed "crime fighters" perform their actions under the broad day light, often outside and clearly visible to general public that indifferently passes by or even commend them. Video recordings of bullying and tortures are freely distributed on the Internet in order to out LGBT teens to their respective schools, parents and friends. Many victims were driven to suicides, the rest are deeply traumatized. So far Russian police took no action against these "movements" even though Russian criminal code was clearly violated and despite numerous complaints from parents, victims and LGBT activists. Social network VK.com intermittently shuts down selected groups and profiles only to allow them to be re-open on the next day. Currently, the founder of VK.com, Pavel Durov, resides in the US and so far has not released any comments.
One particular torture was recorded by the neo nazis as proof that they had captured a "pedophile" under "Putin's Crackdown." Warning: it's graphic and disturbing due to the teen being "bullied, tortured, and sprayed with urine in broad daylight."
North America needs to boycott everything Russian
Hi, I am Russian , but I live in the US. Russia will never change, neither is anyone who is not Russian or isnt from there, will understand the inner working of the Russian government and mentality. Russian government beginning with the Soviet was always very similar to Russian criminal societies structure. Putin is Boss and it will be how he says, and if its not him, it will be someone else. You cannot undo almost 100 years of a certain mentality and structure, in just 2 decades ( i am not even talking about just The Russian mentality, which is almost 3 times as old as US). I dont approve it, i dont dissaprove it, i just understand that this is how it is and will be. (what I am talking about is the way Russia is operated, not just the Anti-Gay lawst)
To all those that start bashing a person for not agreeing with their lifestyle choice and saying that NEO-NAZIs should bash HIM or whatever, is the same as the first person commenting Do YOU like and agree with everyones lifestyle and choices?. I personally dont care about your lifestyle, I dont like it when I see 2 guys kissing, but I wouldnt ever beat you or demean you because of it. That small difference is called an intellect, culture and civility. Something that those people in the video do not have. They are what you call "BIDLA" or "Low Class Scum". Also remember this, Putin came from KGB, he is a cop at heart and that is how he runs the country. Basically he runs it similar to all the others, just on the low.
To suggest that being gay is a "lifestyle choice" betrays your ignorance of the matter. To live honestly and with integrity is not a "lifestyle." It is LIFE.
I appreciate your insight on this topic but I feel that your mindset of that is how it is and always will be is what condones this type of garbage to continue. If no one does anything but follow of course nothing will change. Also just because you say you would not beat a gay does not hide the fact that you stated you do not approve or DISAPPROVE of this action. Why would you not disapprove? It is human beings torturing other human beings. What if this was your son? Then would you disapprove of him being beaten and tortured?
Being gay isn't a lifestyle choice - you are born that way. Anti-gay laws are pure hate - which the Russian government supports.
what happen to Russia? Are Russia still undeveloped? do you know what is human right?
what do you think you have the right to treat someone like that?
shame on you!
I found that video deeply disturbing. I feel for all gay people trapped in countries with this middle age mentality. I sure hope this kid can make it out of there somehow.
Speak up Russians these bigots are making your entire country look like fools to the entire world your president is now a Joke and he is making the citizens of Russia a joke as well step up to the plate and stand up for the rights of all not just some. Don't let Putin take you back to the dark ages of ignorance and fear mongering. It is the People United than bring change fight back and victory will be yours.
I really believe if you are not part of the solution , you are part of the problem
having a shouting match does nothing to combat the issue.
You, your children are the future, what is your legacy
Putin is a pedophile and this is his defense mechanism (remember that scene when he kissed the infants on his belly and had the need to undress his to do this?), He obviously feels that by targeting gays he is going to appear more heterosexual and away from this stigma. Leave them alone jerk they are not hurting anyone.
Heartbreaking... I hate Russia...
This is looking , more as aggressive pedophiles . Who express them self as nazi ...People who want to see pain to others ,blood ,harm etc... That is psycho people with sick psycho president ..World must to do something to stop them !
Putin is Hitler. It's too sad that he and his partners in crime are using LGBT people as a scapegoat for the country's problems, and this hateful insanity has a lot of followers. When Germany was having major problems in the 20's and 30's, the Jewish minority was scapegoated and persecuted. So to those neo-Nazis is Russia: what's your next step? Putting pink triangles on all or suspected LGBT people. Then locking them up in camps? Then torturing and killing them? Their only crime is wanting to live free of eugenic, filthy, genocidal scum like you guys!!!
I totally agree with your statement, but to correct you it is upside down purple triangles that the gays were forced to wear in Germany.
I don't understand why that video is labeled as graphic. There's no "torture" in the video. Basically the kids put up a fake ad pretending to be an old man who agreed to have sex with the 15-year-old in the blue jacket for money. He came all the way from a suburb of Moscow to meet "Uncle Dmitri" (the fake old man's name) and the entire video is basically them teasing him about that and at the end they pour pee on him. (I speak Russian)
Of course, this whole situation could have been staged to get people thinking "Oh my God! There are old gay men trying to have sex with children in our country..."
Good work. Gays are an infestation to humanity. Also, funny how the gays lie about them being "Neo-Nazi" when they are no such thing. Just good samaritans ridding their community of homosexual filth and gay pedophiles.
That's so hateful and a testament to the hatred that's infested your heart and mind. I hope you can find peace and learn to see things as they really are.
Drop dead asshole. I hope some Nero Nazi's torture you and piss all over you.
Someone should rid the community of people like you loe..
Your an absolute idiot. Imbecile, moran, fool, degenerate, ignorant, backward tosser.
Your comments and those of you that post similar comments are nothing more than dim - witted pea beans, of whom there are no other adjectives than the similar ones I've stated to describe you.
Go read a book and join the 21st century people!
It's actually quite pathetic that people like yourself feel the need to dehumanize others - one would ask if yourself and others like you are hiding your own latent homosexuality!?
Actually if you'd do any research at all on the subject then you'd know, bigot, that psychologists have found no proof that homosexuality = pedophilia. In fact, pedophilia is in itself its own thing. Those people are attracted to CHILDREN not boys or girls. You're probably just as bad if you think you need to protect boys from child molesters and not girls. FACEBOOK/HAMORONS <- HOMOPHOBES ARE MORONS!
To an unschooled mind, there may appear to be some truth in what you say, but where and why i ask all the hatred. I think its about time you joined the rest of the world and think for yourself, instead of just mouthing off something parrot fashion from your government and less fortunate members of the uneducated public.
95% of pedophiles are men who have sex with girls. you don't seem to care about girls much. or the truth. you are the infestation - to females and gay people everywhere with your hate-filled bile, lies and ugly violence. you will the be the one to answer to god, nobody else. this video is a teenage boy, not a pedophile. you have an ugly soul.leave people be.get a life. good samaritan? hardly. I hope you get help. you need it.
Also, I know "Loe" and he LOVES dudes and loves kissing me on my balls. xo Stan.
really, u need an education, u do know there are 3 sexual organs the penis, and clit which are the same thing and the prostate located in every mans bum. gays are innocent pple using their sexual organs. putin is a schizophrenic god loving fool, and needs to be locked up, in the rubber rm. its sad, that u are out there hating innocent pple, and doing it while being uneducated. maybe one day you ll wake up.
For the record, you are everything that is wrong with the world. You're incapable of forming a rational thought, and you're a deeply perverted, immoral sack of shit.
You're a lousy shitstain of a human being, and you make the world a worst place and bring humanity down merely by existing. Blame "homosexual filth" for your problems all you want - in reality, the average gay is ten million times more moral and intellectually capable than you.
I hope you're just a troll, but the sad fact is, people like you exist. People who honestly believe what you say represent everything that's wrong with the human race. I'd much rather be gay then the kind of sick monster who takes delight in the mutilation and torture of vunarable young people.

Get ready, folks. The much-dreaded fiscal budget sequester may take effect in less than five days.
And if it happens March 1, the effect of $85 billion in automatic cuts across the breadth of the federal government during the next seven months could affect your life in ways big and small.
If there is any good news to report, it's that none of the impending budget cuts, if allowed to go through, would take place immediately.
Instead, the sequester's first effects won't materialize for at least 45 days. That period includes the 30-day notice that federal employers must give workers in the event of layoffs and furloughs, according to Doug Mehring, a Scott Air Force Base employee and local leader of the National Association of Government Employees, which represents nearly 2,000 Scott civilian employees.
Before the 45 days are up, however, Congress and the White House will likely work out a deal to end the sequester and avert the angry public reaction it would touch off, Mehring predicted.
But if that doesn't happen, then get ready for the closure of dozens of regional airports nationwide, including nine in Illinois, including St. Louis Regional in Alton, Southern Illinois in Carbondale and Williamson County in Marion, according to an advisory released Friday by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Get ready for fewer flights, worse delays and longer lines at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, as well as other major airports nationwide, because of hiring freezes and unpaid furloughs planned for baggage screeners and air traffic controllers, according to advisories posted by the Transportation Security Administration -- the target of $323 million in cuts -- and the Federal Aviation Administration, which is poised to take a $600 million sequester-triggered hit.
Get ready for shorter hours of operation at the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, home of the St. Louis Gateway Arch, whose rangers are also set to be sent home on unpaid furloughs because of the nearly $140 million hit the National Park Service is set to absorb.
The sequester-induced cuts would mean that key areas of the nation's nearly 400 other national parks, including Yellowstone and Yosemite, will either open late this year or be kept closed to the public. Compounding this problem will be the fact these cuts are set to hit hardest in spring and summer, the parks' busiest times of the year, according to the Associated Press.
And of course, get ready for the shot to the metro-east economy when as many as 4,500 civilian employees out of 7,000 at Scott Air Force Base -- by far the region's biggest employer -- are forced to take a weekly unpaid day of vacation for the next 22 weeks, causing direct economic losses of at least $28 million, according to U.S. Rep. Bill Enyart, D-Belleville.
But that'll be just the beginning as more than $43 billion worth of Department of Defense cuts caused by the sequester work their way in the months ahead through the economies of hundreds of towns dependent on military spending.
The resulting uncertainty will cause people to lose confidence and cut their personal spending, further exacerbating the problem, according to Fred McNitt, of MCR Federal, in O'Fallon, a contractor that analyzes budgets at Scott.
"There's the follow-on stream of 'Hell, I'm not spending. I don't have money to spend because of that cut,'" McNitt said. "That's a significant multiplier as it works through the economy."
No matter what happens, Scott Air Force Base employees remain anxious about their futures, said Mehring, the union representative.
"I think most of them want to see it over with," said Mehring, who works as a bricklayer at the base. "They don't want to kick the can down the road again."
Mehring noted that many civilian employees at Scott earn less than $35,000 a year.
"And to take a 20 percent pay cut, I don't see how they can make it," he said.
The sequester's impact is not spread equally across federal agencies.
For instance, while up to 700,000 of the Defense Department's 800,000 civilian could be forced to take 22 days of unpaid vacation time over the next five months, workers at the Environmental Protection Agency will only have to take six unpaid furlough days.
All told, the Defense Department's projected $42.7 billion in cuts adds up to almost 8 percent of the Pentagon's yearly budget.
This compares to nearly $29 billion in domestic discretionary cuts, or 5.3 percent, of federal agency budgets, and nearly $10 billion in Medicare cuts, which amounts to 2 percent, according to federal figures.
Social Security won't be touched by the sequester.
Two reasons account for why the Defense Department has been singled out for the worst set of cuts, according to David Swenson, an economist at Iowa State University, in Ames, Iowa.
First, because the Defense Department, with an annual allocation surpassing $700 billion, is the largest single component of the federal budget.
And second, it stems from the old city hall budget-cutting gambit of laying off firefighters and police officers first in a financial shortage. It's a bold, scary way of grabbing everyone's attention, Swenson said.
"Part of the aim (of the sequester) was to make sure you offer something to make members of the House and Senate sit up and pay attention," Swenson said.
The sequester is a by-product of the negotiations late last year that avoided the "fiscal cliff." The aim was to come up with a penalty so unpleasant and unpopular, so downright nasty, that it would force Democrats and Republicans, after years of stalling, to devise a strategy for making a substantial dent in the nation's $16 trillion debt.
The impasse leading up to the March 1 sequester stems from the stark difference in how Democratic and GOP leaders wish to achieve this outcome.
President Barack Obama want to use a mix of tax increases and spending reductions, including cuts in farm subsidies. Republicans, in contrast, want to replace cuts in defense spending with cuts in social programs, such as food stamps, regulatory agencies and the national health plan known as the Affordable Care Act.
If the full range of sequester-induced budget cuts go through, one result could be the loss of at least 750,000 jobs across the nation's economy. That could easily push the American economy back into recession, Swenson said.
"The odds are high, not necessarily for a long-term recession, but the odds are high that if indeed we have to realize this much in cuts without some sort of revenue enhancements," then the nation will be heading back to recession, Swenson said.
Enyart and Rodney Davis, R-Taylorville, the other metro-east freshmen representative, expressed pessimism that a deal can be made to avoid the sequester before the March 1 deadline.
Enyart said he expects to speak on the House floor after that chamber reconvenes on Monday to urge "members to plan together and get this resolved. I think the negotiations are ongoing, that there are two sides to it. And I'd like to see a compromise solution be reached."
Enyart said he wanted to see a compromise package approved that is not based entirely on budget cuts.
"I think that if America is going to stop borrowing money, you cannot get there by cuts alone," he said. "The numbers simply don't add up. If you fired the entire Department of Defense, including everybody in uniform, not just the civilian employees, if you fired the entire Department of Defense tomorrow, it doesn't solve the deficit."
Davis also expressed pessimism about Congress' ability to avoid the March 1 deadline.
"Now it's become a political blame game," he said. "All it is is another artificial deadline that's going have a severe impact on the hardworking taxpayers of the metro-east."
Davis, though, expressed hope that someday Republicans and Democrats can work together effectively again. He recalled the 1995 conflicts between then-President Bill Clinton and then House Speaker Newt Gingrich that led to a government shutdown.
But in the aftermath of that debacle, Clinton and Gingrich came back highly motivated to overcome their differences. They ended up with a compromise deal that led to an era of balanced budgets, a national budget surplus and economic prosperity, Davis said.
"Not everyone got what they wanted, but everyone got enough of what they wanted," Davis said. "And look at what that did for our country. I guarantee we can do that."

Stupid Levi. WHY DIDN'T HE LET MIKASA SCREW THE FEMALE TITAN OVER?
and I was starting to like Petra, but no. She dead now.
btw, I think Reiner is a Titan too. I have a good reason too. In episode 17 I think, The Female Titan had squished Reiner making blood splatter everywhere (Her smashing his head) but Reiner got out of her hands by a twirl with his swords. I think he regenerated. Thus, Titan.

John Brumm assisted in the creation of ScubaLab in 1992 with Jon Hardy, and assumed the role of ScubaLab Director in 2001. After a brief absence, Brumm is returning to the role, effective May 1. He will also be the Gear Editor of Sport Diver magazine.
Brumm was certified in 1981 as an NASDS diver. He founded Pacific Diver magazine in the late 1980s and served as its editor until 1992, when he became West Coast Editor for Scuba Diving magazine. We asked him about ScubaLab and the significance of gear testing to the dive industry.
Bottom Time: Why is it significant/important that ScubaLab test dive gear?
John Brumm: Because here at ScubaLab, being active divers ourselves, we happen to feel that good-breathing regs, and BCs that are stable at depth, and fins that will get you through a current without shredding your leg muscles, and dive computers that are easy to use and easy to understand, are all pretty darn important.
Scuba diving's a great sport, it's a heck lot of fun, but when we giant-stride into that ocean out there, we're entering an inherently hostile environment. Our comfort, our safety, and the degree to which we enjoy ourselves while at depth is heavily dependent on the gear we've strapped to ourselves. Remember, we're talking "life support equipment" here.
Having said that, it's difficult for the average sport diver who's interested in buying, say, a new back-buoyancy weight-integrated BC, to collect a half-dozen or so different models that he or she can get wet to check out the various valve systems, try the weight ditch systems, and see how stable they each are at depth. In other words, try before they buy. That's where ScubaLab comes in.
ScubaLab does what scuba divers would do if they could. ScubaLab exists to help divers become informed consumers of dive gear. Nobody devotes as much manpower, spends as much money, or invests as much time to provide objective and practical information on dive gear as ScubaLab. ScubaLab gear reviews are designed to find out exactly what a particular piece of gear is supposed to do, and how well it does its job. Everything ScubaLab does flows from this.
BT: You are not new to ScubaLab. Before leaving for a year, you were the director of ScubaLab from 2001 until 2010. What do you consider your proudest accomplishment as ScubaLab's director?
JB: Big picture, I was proud to be able to step in to keep the system going when ScubaLab founder Jon Hardy died unexpectedly. Jon Hardy laid the groundwork for dive gear testing, he set the bar, and I was honored to have been able to carry on in his footsteps and take ScubaLab to the next level. On a more micro level, I'm proud of the work ScubaLab does when I see changes in dive gear design and improvements in performance that often correspond to ScubaLab tests and gear reviews.
BT: Why, when and how did you get certified?
JB: Back in the summer of '81, while doing a leisurely circumnavigation of Catalina Island on the sailboat I owned at the time, I pulled into Avalon for a short layover. It was a beautiful day, so I decided to do some snorkeling at the Casino Point underwater park. The water was crystal clear and as I kicked along the surface I could see a group of divers sitting on the bottom maybe 50 feet down, engaged in a scuba class. I tried to free-dive down to see them, but couldn't get that deep, and of course I couldn't stay anyway. It looked like they were having so much fun, and they looked so comfortable just hanging out under water, that right then and there I knew I wanted to do what those divers were doing. Two months later I was certified.
BT: What's your favorite type of diving?
JB: I don't really have a favorite type of diving. Warm water, cold water, reef diving, kelp diving, wreck diving, oil-rig diving, blue-water diving, it's all good. I just like being under water. I like the quiet, the serenity. I enjoy just cruising around, and sometimes I'll just find a rock and sit on it and watch the underwater world go by.
BT: When you're not testing gear, what do you like to do?
JB: I like to sail. I've lived on a number of sailboats over the years and have had the opportunity to do some extensive cruising in the waters of California and Mexico. I also like to explore America's back roads on my motorcycle.

By Yvonne Gale and Lily Pad
I didn't get my Garfield video for Christmas. Mom said Garfield was too mischievous, and I didn't need to learn any more naughty behavior. But, I did get an unexpected surprise over the holidays; in fact, Mom and Dad got the surprise, too. My big brother, whose name is Kenny, announced to the family that he had acquired a new family member: A 3-year-old cat named Miss Kitty.
At first Mom and Dad were somewhat alarmed, because, according to my parents, my big brother can hardly feed himself. Mom started interrogating Kenny about how he was taking care of his new cat. Did he have ample food, did he have a cat carrier, a scratching post, a litter box, etc., etc.? No cat carrier, of course; Mom and Dad went right out and purchased one for Miss Kitty. And get this: Mom and Dad started referring to Miss Kitty as their much wanted grandchild.
Mom went to stay with Kenny for two days in January, and she fell in love with Miss Kitty. Mom says her grandchild is absolutely beautiful. And so sweet! Not naughty like me! Miss Kitty loves to be held and purrs so contentedly. Mom purchased her a new scratching post, because she felt her old one was not up to standard. For two or three days after Mom got home, it was "Miss Kitty this" and "Miss Kitty that."
I decided just to play it cool until the novelty of Miss Kitty wore off. I did attempt to endear myself with Mom by curling up around her feet while she slept. I also licked her with my rough little tongue instead of scratching her when she lifted me.
Another surprise came in January - not a cat this time, but a 2-month-old baby. My mom baby-sat a friend's grandchild whose name is Antonio. Casper and I knew something was up, because it seemed there was a new smell in the house, and there were two different objects in the house, a car seat and a diaper bag.
Mom helps in the church nursery once a month; she loves children and babies. Antonio was no exception; she went bananas over him. She cooed and talked to him. She would laugh and say, "Look at that beautiful smile." According to her, Antonio's black hair was beautiful, his eyes were beautiful, his skin was beautiful. She used the word "beautiful" eight times. I know, because I counted.
Well, then there came a smell, and it wasn't so pleasant. Mom didn't describe the smell as beautiful. It was time for a diaper change. She put a big beach towel on the carpet and laid Antonio on the floor. This was Casper's and my chance to check out this special little creature. I approached on the right, and Casper approached on the left. After sniffing Antonio, we realized he was quite little and defenseless and that it was quite all right that Mom was so protective over him. We were willing to share Mom's love and attention.
Just recently, Mom gave away one of my toys to her friend Kathy, who has three cats. Kathy got down on the floor and tried to get me to play with this toy that rolls around. She wanted to know where Mom got the toy. Mom replied that since I never play with the toy, Kathy could have it.
No, I hadn't played with this specific toy in six months, but it just didn't seem right for Mom to give it away. I promptly started playing with the toy right in front of Kathy, but she still left with it.
Mom saw through my antics. We had a little prayer meeting after Kathy left. You know how some parents will try to persuade their kids to eat everything on their plate, reminding them that there are so many hungry children in the world? Mom reminded me that there are so many cats in the world that have no home and no toys to play with. She insisted that I be a sharing kitty, not a selfish kitty. What was I to say? Mom can sometimes make you feel really ashamed of yourself.
To redeem myself in Mom's eyes, I want to speak up for sad dogs and cats everywhere. Since Mom and Dad have been married, almost 36 years ago, they have had four dogs and five cats. Most of these pets lived more than 10 years. According to Mom and Dad, pets are wonderful blessings from God. Casper and I know that we are very blessed to be loved so much and to be taken such good care of.
Share some love. Adopt an animal from a shelter, a pound, or a rescue organization. You will receive so much love in return.
Life is good; Mom just kissed me on my head after reading my closing.

To bad fans don't understand and it is too bad that the analysts are that stupid. TP should be getting a great deal of love for the MVP this year plain and simple. Unfortunately the revolving door of the MVP race always changes for the "preseason favorite" each and every year. They pre-pick who they want and then change the rules accordingly. Funny how the media deminished Wade's performances and hyped Westbrooks. TP and the Spurs are also rans even though they finished ahead of Thunder and the Bulls finished ahead of the Heat.
Objectivity by the voters would have a much close race than LBJ the run away MVP like they will have. Damn shame for those of us who see past the ESPN highlight reel.
Making up stuff to support your argument doesn't give you any credibility. They didn't change any criteria or rules, most people had Durant as the MVP before the season started. But LeBron stepped up his play big time from last season and the Heat were a top team in the league. The Spurs didn't have a top record because Parker is THAT good, they did it by having top notch coaching and the deepest team in the league. It's pretty obvious from your posts that you would prefer anyone winning it over LeBron simply because you don't like him.
LOL... keep trying man. I didn't make anything up. The rules change every year. Some of you guys who just want to appear impartial try to hard. Not once did I say Lebron shouldn't win it or it would be a travesty if the guy won it. Get off Lebron's jock for a few minutes and pay attention. The MVP isn't for the best player on the best team. It is supposed to be for the player that is helping their team win above expectations, is putting up numbers that is above expectations and would be greatly missed if their team didn't have them. You can say that about Lebron, however, without him Dwade and Bosh still win. You can say that about TP because the Spurs could still win. You can not say that about Durant because without him the Thunder lose. So just by that criteria KD should be the MVP.
Coaches don't play the game. Funny how Spurs fans are always killing Pop for his coaching yet you guys are slurping all over him. I know it is blasphemy for some of you to think that Lebron isn't the greatest-bestest-most-awesomest-basketball player ever but the fact is he isn't and shouldn't be the clear cut run-a-away MVP no matter what criteria they use this year.

BP Comment Quick Links
January 8, 2013 Rumor RoundupTuesday, January 8Yesterday's Roundup included a segment on a compensated free agent, Michael Bourn, who may yet rejoin his former team, months after he rejected the Braves' qualifying offer. Today's kicks off with a look at one of Bourn's fellow, beleaguered job-seekers… Rafael Soriano won't return to the Bronx The 33-year-old Soriano did a fine job filling in for the injured Mariano Rivera in 2012, converting 42 of 46 save opportunities and posting a 3.27 FIP along the way. After taking home $10 million in 2011 and $11 million in 2012, Soriano opted out of a $14 million paycheck for 2013, and then (predictably) turned down the Yankees' $13.3 million overture. With the free-agent market deep in relievers but low on proven closers with a clean bill of health, Boras likely expected a contender in need of a bullpen upgrade to come calling with a multi-year proposal. And that might have happened, if the price tag did not also involve surrendering its first-round pick. Since then, most of Soriano's potential suitors have found other plugs for their late-inning holes. The Angels signed Ryan Madson. The Reds kept Jonathan Broxton. The Dodgers retained Brandon League. The Red Sox inked Koji Uehara, and then acquired Joel Hanrahan from the Pirates. And the Tigers, perhaps Soriano's best hope for a long-term hitch, appear content to turn over their closer role to rookie flamethrower Bruce Rondon. The good news is that, save for Brian Wilson, Soriano now has virtually no competition; the bad news is that, as has been the case for most of the offseason, there is also scant demand for his services. ESPN's Buster Olney followed up on Klapisch's report by noting that the Yankees prefer the sandwich-round pick that they would receive when Soriano signs elsewhere to any deal with the right-hander, no matter how inexpensive it might be. If that's the case, then he should not expect any calls from general manager Brian Cashman until after the first day of the amateur draft, when the draft-pick compensation requirement would be waived. Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors tweeted back on Dec. 26 that a sign-and-trade scenario, even if the Yankees acquiesced to it, would be viewed as collusion by the league. Boras has a track record of wriggling out of seemingly ominous situations with free agents, most notably the nine-year, $214 million pact he secured for Prince Fielder last Jan. 25. Finding a new home for Soriano might be his stiffest challenge yet.

La Vista is a young, progressive city nestled in the southwestern suburbs of Omaha. As one of the fastest growing cities in Nebraska, the city has numerous opportunities for work, play, and community involvement. Approximately 16,000 people live here, boasting a close-knit environment and friendly atmosphere where everyone can feel safe and secure. Look for La Vista apartments for rent, and a high quality of life in this small Midwestern town.
Douglas County was established in 1855, named after Representative Stephen Arnold Douglas, most famous for losing against future President Lincoln. He introduced the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 which officially allowed the states to determine whether they wanted to allow or prohibit slavery. La Vista was not incorporated until 1960, making it the youngest city in the state of Nebraska. Today, La Vista is a thriving suburb of Omaha. Local officials work to embrace a progressive plan to attract highly-skilled residents and diverse business opportunities. Many well known businesses have a presence in La Vista, including PayPal, HP Computers and Oriental Trading Company, providing great sources of employment for local residents. With a convenient location to some of the Midwest's largest cities, apartments in La Vista make a great home for families and young professionals alike.
The Haunted Hollow Haunted Theme Park is one of La Vista's greatest attractions. Located at a farmhouse built in the 1880s, the park features many styles of entertainment, a nightly public bonfire and a popular hearse and creepy car show. La Vista Daze is another local favorite, bringing residents together to celebrate the core strength of the community. The festival includes events like the Community Cookout and Fireworks, a parade, beer garden, carnival and teen dance. La Vista also hosts many events during the holiday season, including Holiday Movie Night, Santa's Sleigh Ride, Holiday Tree Lighting and Halloween Safe Night.

Circle the globe with top National Geographic experts on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Traveling in the comfort of a private jet, encounter legendary places from Machu Picchu and Tibet to the Pyramids and Marrakech. Experience natural wonders such as the Great Barrier Reef, the Serengeti Plain, and the island paradise of Samoa.
We begin this extraordinary adventure with a welcome reception at National Geographic Society headquarters, followed by dinner at our hotel.
The Hay-Adams, Washington, D.C. (D)
This morning, our private jet takes us to Lima, once a thriving capital in Spain's New World empire, where we arrive in the late afternoon. Visit the renowned Larco Herrera Museum, notable for its extensive pre-Columbian ceramic collection, and enjoy a fine dinner at our hotel.
Miraflores Park Hotel (B,L,D)
We take a local flight to Cusco, where Inca and Spanish cultures intermingled, leaving many Spanish colonial buildings constructed on early Inca foundations. Explore the imposing cathedral in the Plaza de Armas, considered by many to be one of the finest combinations of Spanish Renaissance style and legendary Inca stonemasonry. Marvel at the treasures of the Pre-Columbian Art Museum, where we will meet with National Geographic grantee and master weaver Nilda Callanaupa, who works with traditional weavers throughout Peru to preserve the rich textile arts.
Discover the remains of the great fortress Sacsayhuaman overlooking Cusco, where enormous blocks of stone—some weighing more than 200 tons—were used to build the walls. Assembled without the use of mortar, the blocks fit together so tightly that a knife blade cannot be inserted between them.
Then travel on the Hiram Bingham, our privately chartered train, to Machu Picchu, passing through the spectacular Urubamba Valley, known as the Sacred Valley of the Inca. Still clouded in mystery, Machu Picchu was abandoned by the Inca and lost to history until it was rediscovered by American explorer Hiram Bingham in 1911 and excavated with support from the National Geographic Society. Examine the artfully cut stone altars, temples, foundations, staircases, and terraced gardens that make this one of the world's most extraordinary archaeological treasures.
Hotel Monasterio (B, L, D daily)
Alternative: Instead of visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu, head to northern Peru to visit the temples of Trujillo and Chiclayo, where the richest burial chambers in the Americas were discovered. See where the ancient Moche and Chimu peoples lived, and explore Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in the world.
Libertador Trujillo (B, L, D daily)
Fly to Easter Island, located 2,300 miles off the coast of Chile. Scattered with mysterious, colossal stone statues called moai, the island is an open-air museum of the ruins of a lost culture. The island has been a subject of debate since it was first seen by Europeans on Easter Sunday in 1722. How did its native people first arrive? What transpired over the centuries? What do the tall, brooding statues mean? Learn the hidden stories of the island's wonders with renowned archaeologist Edmundo Edwards, and marvel at the many moai that dot the island's windswept landscape. Along the way, discover the ancient ceremonial centers, volcanic craters, petroglyphs, lava formations, and fascinating clues to the Orongo birdman cult. Then enjoy a splendid performance by the Kari Kari Rapa Nui dance troupe.
Hangaroa Eco Village & Spa (B, L, D daily)
From Easter Island we continue our voyage across the Pacific, crossing the international date line. We lose a day en route and arrive in Samoa the following evening. (B, L, D)
Samoa is one of the few places where pure Polynesian culture remains essentially intact—tribal rituals and hierarchies are little changed from ancient times. This beautiful island world is well known for its hospitality, traditional ceremonies, and distinct communal customs (known as fa'a Samoa, or "the Samoan way"). Enjoy a fia fia—a colorful performance of Samoan dance and song.
Aggie Grey's Lagoon Beach Resort & Spa (B, L, D)
Fly to Cairns and transfer to the charming seaside town of Port Douglas. Explore the Great Barrier Reef, the largest known coral reef in the world and home to an exceptionally rich variety of marine life. Snorkel among rainbow-colored corals with schools of unicornfish, surgeonfish, bumphead parrot fish, and sea turtles.
Or discover the natural wonders of the Daintree, a rain forest that is approximately 90 million years older than the Amazon rain forest. Go on a Dreamtime walk in Mossman Gorge with an aboriginal guide, a member of the Kuku Yalanji, who will share his people's legends and take you to sacred sites.
Sea Temple Resort & Spa (B, L, D daily)
Fly by private jet to Siem Reap, our base for exploring Angkor, the heart of the ancient Khmer Empire. Delve into the magnificent Angkor Wat temple complex, one of humankind's greatest architectural triumphs; and discover the massive towers, carved murals, colonnades, and courtyards that exemplify classic Khmer architecture. At Angkor Thom, explore the Bayon Temple and the Terrace of the Elephants. Then set out on a cruise to nearby floating villages on Tonle Sap lake (water levels permitting), or explore the temple of Ta Prohm, still tangled in the thick roots of banyan trees. In the evening, enjoy a classical Apsara dance performance during dinner at our fine hotel.
Alternative: Instead of Angkor Wat, explore the lost jungle temple of Beng Mea Lea (water levels permitting), among the largest Khmer temples, and the ninth-century Roluous temple complex of Hariharalaya, the first capital of the Khmer Empire, which predates Angkor Wat by some 300 years.
Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor (B, L, D daily)
Today, fly by private jet to Chengdu, China, where we will see the area's giant pandas at the Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Center. Then enjoy dinner and a night's rest before departing for Tibet.
Shangri-La Chengdu
This morning, take a local flight to Lhasa, Tibet's capital, located on one of the world's highest plateaus. Once a "forbidden city," this Himalayan center of Buddhist pilgrimage—with the spectacular Potala Palace dominating its skyline—still retains a mystical atmosphere. Visit the Jokhang Temple, the region's oldest and most revered; and explore the colorful Tibetan markets, known for their finely crafted ornaments, rugs, religious paintings, and carvings. The next day, venture into Potala Palace, a highlight of our time in Lhasa. The palace, with its hundreds of rooms, lavish decor, and labyrinthine corridors, was once the winter residence of the Dalai Lama and served as the seat of the Tibetan government for more than 300 years. Stop by the nearly 600-year-old Sera Monastery, where we may see monks in the debating courtyard. You may also visit the Tibet Museum or a local nunnery.
St. Regis Lhasa Resort (B, L, D daily)
Alternative: Instead of visiting Lhasa, fly from Chengdu to Xi'an, China by local air and enjoy a two-day excursion in this former Chinese capital. View the famous 7,000-strong army of life-sized terra-cotta warriors; and visit the Ming dynasty walls, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the impressive Yangling Tombs of Emperor Liu Qi and Empress Wang.
The Westin Xian (B, L, D daily)
Return to Chengdu by local flight and continue on our private jet to Agra. Discover the iconic Taj Mahal, built in the 17th century by Shah Jahan as a tribute to his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. A masterpiece of the Mogul empire, the monument soars majestically above the banks of the Yamuna River. Wander the site, admire its form among the reflecting pools and gardens that surround it, and examine its intricate mosaics made of precious stones. In the afternoon, you may explore the imposing sandstone Red Fort of Agra, where Mogul emperors lived in splendor. Or you may choose to venture into Kachhpura, a village in Agra inhabited by the Harijan people, otherwise known as "untouchables." Meet with local families and visit a school. If you wish, rise early to join our National Geographic photographer to capture images of the Taj Mahal at sunrise.
Alternative: Instead of visiting the Taj Mahal, explore Fatehpur Sikri, Emperor Akbar's crowning architectural achievement, an exquisite red-sandstone city that served as the Mogul capital from 1572 to 1585. Stroll through well-preserved pavilions, courtyards, tombs, and palaces—most notably the emperor's private quarters, a "palace of dreams" richly decorated with Persian calligraphy and murals.
The Oberoi Amarvilás (B, L, D daily)
Fly by private jet to Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to a smaller aircraft for the flight to Serengeti National Park. In the local Maasai language, Serengeti means "extended place"—an appropriate name for this vast wildlife sanctuary, which is one of the most complex and least disturbed ecosystems on Earth. Go deep into the savanna to witness Africa's greatest concentration of wildebeests and zebras, as well as lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti (B, L, D daily)
Alternative: Instead of exploring the Serengeti, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater to observe the permanent population of almost 25,000 animals in one of the largest unbroken calderas in the world. Along with herds of wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras, we may also see the "big five" (rhinoceroses, lions, leopards, elephants, and buffaloes). Spend your nights here at a well-appointed lodge perched on the crater's rim. During our stay, travelers will have the opportunity to meet either Meave or Louise Leakey, both National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence whose family of renowned anthropologists has discovered many important fossils in the area.
Ngorongoro Crater Lodge (B, L, D daily)
Arrive in Luxor and head to the Luxor Museum to view its stunning collection of statues, figures, bas reliefs, and mummies. Spend the next morning in the Valley of the Kings, where we visit the tombs of divine pharaohs, including King Tutankhamun. Stop at the mortuary temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the longest reigning female pharaoh and one of history's great leaders. See the Colossi of Memnon, two enormous statues that are all that remain of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III, who commissioned many of the monuments and temples in Luxor. Visit Medinet Habu, the best preserved mortuary temple in the area; and gaze up at colorful reliefs detailing the triumphs of Ramses III, often considered the last great pharoah. Enjoy lunch on a felucca (traditional sailboat) as you cross the Nile River. Then visit the Great Hypostyle Hall and temples at Karnak, one of the largest ancient religious sites in the world, described by the ancient Egyptians as "the most perfect of places." In the evening, enjoy a gala dinner at the Luxor Temple.
Luxor Hilton (B, L, D daily)
Alternative: Instead of exploring Luxor, you may choose to visit Petra, the lost city of the Nabataeans. Hidden in Jordan's deep canyons south of the Dead Sea, this remarkable site was founded more than 2,000 years ago, and consists of elaborate buildings and tombs carved from sheer rock walls.
Mövenpick Petra, Jordan (B, L, D daily)
On our last day in Egypt, we board our private jet and fly to Cairo. Transfer to Giza to visit the Pyramids, including the 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops). Then enjoy a private luncheon with a view of the Sphinx. We continue to Marrakech this afternoon.
After our morning visit to the Pyramids, arrive in Marrakech and transfer to our hotel. The next day, explore this fabled city, located in an oasis of palm and olive groves, and steeped in ancient Berber tradition. See the Koutoubia Mosque, Ben Youssef Madrasa, and the grand Bahia Palace. Wander through the medina, a jumble of colorful suqs; and stroll the Djemaa el Fna, a lively square where snake charmers, acrobats, and magicians enchant the passsersby. If you wish, immerse yourself in the lush blue-and-green paradise of the Majorelle Garden, a delightful combination of traditional Moroccan architecture, Islamic art and artifacts, rare plants from five continents, and North African birds. On our last evening, celebrate our adventure at a farewell banquet with traditional entertainment.
Alternative: Instead of exploring Marrakech, spend the day in the spectacular Atlas Mountains, the highest mountain range in North Africa. Visit a Berber village, share tea with a village elder and his family, and enjoy a delicious picnic lunch. In the evening, rejoin the group in Marrakech for our farewell dinner.
La Mamounia (B, L, D daily)
Following breakfast, board our private jet and fly to Washington, D.C. Upon arrival, you may connect with your commercial flight home, or, if you wish, we will provide complimentary accommodations at the Hyatt Dulles Airport Hotel for the night. For the December and January/February departures which end in Orlando, complimentary accommodations will be provided at the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport Hotel for one night. (B, L)

He has lived for extended periods among indigenous communities, learning and recording their complex rituals and customs. Wade is the author of 17 bestselling books including The Serpent and the Rainbow (1986), One River (1996), The Wayfinders (2009), and The Sacred Headwaters (2011). His latest book, Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest, won the 2012 Samuel Johnson Prize, the top non-fiction prize in the English language.

In 2009, he received the Gold Medal from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society for his contributions to anthropology and conservation.

Wade will join the following departure:
Dec 28, 2014 - Jan 20, 2015
ALT indicates a departure that has a slightly different itinerary than the one shown on this page. Click the ALT icon to see the day-to-day itinerary.
The itinerary at left reflects the October 2014 departures. The December 2013, January and December 2014, and January 2015 departures begin and end in Orlando, Florida, but otherwise follow the same itinerary as the October departures.
Prices are per person, double occupancy. For a single room, add $8,650. Transportation by private Boeing 757 jet and other conveyance, as noted in the itinerary, is included in the expedition cost. Airfare to and from Washington, D.C. or Orlando, Florida is not included.
Our specially outfitted Boeing 757 is ideally suited for this extraordinary expedition. Its long-range capabilities and ability to land in smaller airports afford us unmatched flexibility. We set our own schedules, flying direct and avoiding layovers, which allows us the freedom to make the most of our adventures on land. Instead of the standard 233 seats, the jet's interior has been customized and refitted to accommodate just 77 passengers in two-by-two, VIP-style leather seating.
For your protection, all payments are secured in a bank escrow account. See special terms and conditions for these expeditions.

A VA Approved Lender; Not affiliated with a government agency, Mortgage Research Center — NMLS #17094
Veterans United Foundation strives to enhance lives by recognizing the selfless contributions of service members and their families through support of such individuals in need.
Despite the aid of benefits like the GI Bill, the ever-increasing expense of a post-secondary degree is one of the greatest challenges facing so many of our nation's finest, and in an effort to address this need, Veterans United Foundation has established the Veterans United Foundation Scholarship program.
The program's primary goal is to assist military service members and their families by awarding five bi-annual $2,000 scholarships to help pay for tuition and books.
To be considered, the scholarship applicant must have a connection to the United States Military through falling into at least one of the following categories:
Applicants must also currently be pursuing a post-secondary degree (associates, bachelors, masters or doctorate) at an accredited college or university, or plan to attend a college or university the following academic year.
In addition, applicants must have a financial need and maintain a cumulative 2.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
The Veterans United Foundation Scholarship can only be used toward school-related expenses (tuition and books).
The scholarship application link will be made available at www.enhancelives.com/scholarships ONLY during the spring and fall submission periods.
The Veterans United Foundation Scholarship application includes these elements:
*Please note that no confirmation email will be sent from the Veterans United Foundation Scholarship Program upon receiving your application and essay submission. Please do not email us requesting notification.
Winners of the scholarship will be contacted directly via email or phone and asked to provide proof of enrollment (transcript or acceptance letter) to a post-secondary school and their DD-214 (or appropriate family member's DD-214).
No direct notification will be sent to the applicants who were not chosen as a winner of the scholarship.

"It made me mad because I don't like to see stuff like that," Victory said.
Even the living horses aren't doing well. You can see one of the horse's ribs, which is why Victory gave this video to us.
"I can't stand to see horses starving like that because we used to have horses and we take care of animals," Victory said.
Victory owns the land where the images were taken, but they aren't his animals. He just won a lawsuit getting ownership of the property. Victory said the owners left but wouldn't take the horses or the skeletal remains.
"I just didn't want those dead horses laying on my property and people thinking they were mine and that I did it," Victory said.
We took the video to the Humane Society of Pulaski County.
"Is that cause for concern?" I asked.
"It is cause for concern," Kay Simpson, director of the Humane Society of Pulaski County, said.
Simpson said a vet would determine if the horse is neglected or not, but it's good that Victory reported it. So many people don't.
"You know what the number one is? I don't want to get involved because they will do something to me," Simpson said.
And even though animal cruelty is a felony, Simpson said many departments won't enforce the law.
"It's no worse than any other violation of law. Cruelty to animals is against the law and it's got to be worked," Simpson said.

Comments: Though far more tactical than feminine, it worked great in this capacity. I am a very adventureous girl. I never know were I will be, or what I will be doing that might require extremes in performance for an EDC bag. This bag is rugged and durable, water resistant, has a decent sized main compartment, well placed external pouches, heavy duty straps, buckles, and zippers. I am able to fit something useful/practical in every pouch/pocket. And, I can even fit my S&W Governor in the zippered pocket ... More details

Comments: I've had the Fat Boy for a few years now and have been using for my EDC. High Quality, rugged and overall the best size and usage for everyday carry. Highly recommended for concealed carry or even just a camera bag, its compartmental, expandable and VERY durable. Very satisfied and might even purchase another in Khaki. A must have for everyday use.

Comments: I'm from Cyprus, and I work in ther Law Enforcement with civilian clothes (undercover). I'm always on patrol and not in the office. I also enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, bou-scouts etc. I'm using FATBOY for the last 1 year and it accompanies me on my work, activities and everyday life. It's enough for carrying all of my gear I need (full size USP, handcuffs etc, even my snack). It's great that I can carry all needed and still be free to move.

Situated on a series of hills and surrounded by water on three sides, San Francisco is as equally captivating for the senses as it is for the heart and mind. Old-fashioned cable cars clang up and down the streets, smells of sourdough bread waft out of bakeries and the Golden Gate Bridge - often emerging from a bank of fog - presides over the entire spectacle.
But for every iconic experience in the city, there are 100 more that only the locals know about. San Francisco has countless neighborhoods and cultural enclaves - don't miss a visit to the city's Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) - and a simple stroll among them is often the best way to get acquainted with the city's true spirit.
The best approach to San Francisco is to mix a bit of the iconic with some of the under-the-radar activities and experiences that only the locals know about. Some top experiences to get you started include a Chinatown Walking Tour, a San Francisco Hop-on Hop-off Tour, a Golden Gate Seaplane Tour, or a Golden Gate Bay Cruise. See some of the beautiful areas just outside the city with a Muir Woods and Sausalito Day Trip or day trip to Yosemite National Park, or go a bit further out and visit attractions like the Winchester Mystery House, the cities of Monterey and Carmel, or Napa and Sonoma Wine Country.

UCLan defends league table fall
7:00pm Saturday 21st September 2013 in News By Jon Robinson, Reporter
A UNIVERSITY boss has defended the institution after it slipped to 88th in the country, according to a new league table.
The University of Central Lancashire, which was ranked 71st in the UK in 2012, dropped 17 places in this year's The Times and The Sunday Times Good University Guide.
Despite spending the second highest amount on facilities per student in the north west at £1,730, the university has the second worst graduate prospects in the region with 54.6 per cent of students finding professional jobs or further graduate-level study, according to the guide.
However, UCLan did receive the sixth best student satisfaction rate, at 81.2 per cent, which is higher than the University of Manchester and the University of Bolton.
Deputy vice-chancellor, Professor Dave Phoenix, said: "While our overall position in this league table is disappointing, there are elements that reflect positively on our focus to provide an excellent student experience.
"We continue to make significant investments into state-of-the-art buildings, research facilities and vocational course areas such as architecture, medicine and engineering.
"Our library, which is open 24/7, has been completely redesigned and refurbished with key input from students.
"However we recognise that the current economic conditions continue to make it challenging for anyone to find suitable employment.
"We do receive excellent feedback from employers on the quality of our graduates and the investments we continue to make in facilities are already helping our students to fulfil their career ambitions.
"Encouraging enterprise and entrepreneurialism among students is something else in which we have invested heavily.
"Many of our graduates start up their own businesses with the help of UCLan and in the last 12 months alone the university supported the launch of 191 of these ventures - the second highest in the UK."

Decent employers see through all of this. They demand a traditional education from recognised establishments. They pay the TOP salaries and only want to take on those who aspire a good deal higher. As for " Many of our graduates start up their own businesses " , my milk-man runs his own business but goes shopping and takes his family on days out in his milk truck after the rounds.
Lay the blame at the feet of those who engendered this culture of no-one-must-fail and increase-the-pass-ra

An alarming Supreme Court ruling against an innocent man
by Lisa Rea
It is hard to fathom the actions of the Supreme Court at times. This ruling is one of those times. Read the case of John Thompson, a wrongfully convicted man in New Orleans who spent 14 years on death row for a crime he did not commit.
I have written of a case like this previously (i.e. exoneree Greg Wilhoit on Oklahoma's death row) but this case has a different twist. The exoneree was seeking compensation from the District Attorney for the years he spent on death row because a prosecutor who worked for his office hid evidence that would have freed him---a blood test among other things. The Supreme Court ruling (5-4) written by Justice Clarence Thomas states that while there was "misconduct" by the prosecutor (Ginsburg points out there were actually four prosecutors involved), that "did not prove deliberate indifference" by the District Attorney.

Hi everyone
We have been contacted by two different news sources looking to speak to clients on specific situations:
1) a client who is currently in the two-year waiting period
a. Have low income, but not poor enough to qualify for Medicaid
b. A person of color if at all possible (hard to determine sometimes if you havent met them face to face)
c. The person can be from anywhere in the country, but they want to photograph and/or videotape them, so we will need to find out if they are comfortable with that.
2) Apparently, some oxygen providers are sending letters to their clients that are somewhat threatening (raising the prospect of their not getting their equipment) but also encouraging them to support this bill. A national cable TV network is looking to interview someone who has received such a letter. Do you know anyone who has seen such a letter?
a) this person must be willing to be on national TV.
If you have a client who fits this description, please send me their information as soon as possible so we can connect him/her to the reporter.
We dont have any clients in our database who fit these descriptions so we are reaching out to you all for help.

Hey Scotty,
Happy for you, man! I was just in your area, playing the Babolat World Classic for the first time. Had the tournament of my life, upset the #2 seed in the quarters, the #4 seed in the semis and lost in the finals of the Women's 40s Singles draw in a tie break in the second set, to the top seed, Dina McBride. Had a great time. Went there as the traveling coach for two new seniors, Len and Fidelis, and enjoyed opening up another frontier together. Glad you are enjoying keiki, wife, new home, and tennis. I respect everyone's path and embrace the whole. No judgement, just support and respect, and much aloha.
Your buddy from the HI jr. summer circuit and buff n' blue tennis days,

HAYWARD, Calif. — The Cal State East Bay baseball team remained unbeaten with a 9-2 victory over Oregon Tech at Pioneer Field Sunday afternoon. The Pioneers (7-0) finished off their second straight series sweep thanks to a seven-run sixth inning, featuring three-run triples from both Kyle Zozaya and Brandon Alexander. Sophomore Michael Pope pitched six scoreless innings pick up the win for the Pioneers, who open CCAA play next week. The teams played Sunday's game in just under two hours, largely because both starting pitchers breezed through the first three frames. East Bay finally broke the scoreless tie in the fourth inning with some productive outs. Alexander singled to lead off the inning, and Eren Miravalles followed with a double down the left field line. Jordan Wilder and Zozaya then hit consecutive sacrifice flies to plate the first two Pioneer runs. The East Bay offense put the game away in the bottom of the sixth with a seven-run explosion. Once again Alexander and Miravalles started things off, this time with a walk and a base hit to left. Wilder walked to load the bases, prompting the Owls to remove starting pitcher Craig Kathol. The first batter reliever Raf Belloc faced was Zozaya, who greeted him with a drive to the wall in right-center. All three runners came home on the triple. When the throw back to the infield got away, Zozaya was also able to score, making it 6-0 Pioneers with no outs in the inning. East Bay wasn't done, however. After two quick outs, the Pioneers mounted a rally, loading the bases again on singles from Roger Luna and Zac Chuvala and a walk to Andrew Rodriguez. That brought Alexander back to the plate for the second time in the inning and a new pitcher in the game for Oregon Tech. The Pioneer right-fielder promptly launched one to the base of the wall in right-center for a base-clearing triple. Pope came out of the game after East Bay extended their lead to nine. The right-hander went six innings in his second start of the week. He allowed just one hit and one walk, striking out five, to pick up his second win of the young season. Pope was followed by a trio of Pioneer relievers, who closed out the game without a serious threat. Chris Schmalz threw a scoreless seventh inning, making his second appearance of the year and his first of the series. The Owls were able to get on the board in the eighth inning against Nick Hudson. The junior right-hander allowed a hit, an earned run, and an unearned run before retiring the side. Tuesday's starter Matt Fontaine tossed a scoreless ninth inning to finish off the game. Alexander finished the day 3-for-3 with three RBI and a pair of runs. It's the first three-hit game of his Pioneer career. Miravalles was the only other East Bay batter to notch multiple hits, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored. Zozaya was 1-for-2 and knocked in four runs to lead the team.
The Hustlin' Owls will get back to the diamond on Friday, February 15 in Redding, California against Simpson University.

reading some other posts about upgrades got me thinking.. i'm half stuck between getting a processor, FX8120 or just the FX4100 or getting say a.. radeon 7970.. or something along those lines..
I've been thinking about the 8120 for a while but I keep hearing horror stories every now and then about it just being a fail processor.. if anyone has had some experience with them for some feed back with their "bulldozer" platform the video cards and CPUs make then that would be great aswell.. I currently have a phenom II x4 (as stated in the specs) and that line of CPUs have been great.. I wouldn't mind upgrading to another phenom processor if someone can show me some good ones.
I prefer AMD just because of price/performance ratios but if theres any honest selling point to a nvidia card (other than thats what MWO is using for their engine lol)
i've also been thinking about just getting like 3 monitors to replace my single LG 19 inch "TV" and run them in eyefinity with my 2 6770s. But I haven't gotten a chance to use eyefinty either so some feedback on that would be great aswell.
at the time of this post they're 129.99 but have been fluxing to about 149.99 every now and then.
