Hold on to your sap gloves and night sticks – it's that time of the decade! An Autoblog source reveals that Ford is about to release a brand spankin' new Police Interceptor. Not only is this humongous news for our pals in the law enforcement community, but this is 120-point headline font for taxi companies around the country, as they typically buy old Police Interceptors with 90,000 miles on 'em and repurpose them as the cabs we all know and love passing out in. Why? Because Police Interceptors are the toughest passenger cars money can buy.
Few of us have the need to drive over curbs at 50+ mph, but if that need arises, you're going to want to do so in an Interceptor. Aside from the "severe duty" shocks, you get a beefed up frame and body mounts. Yes, that is correct. The Crown Victoria-based Police Interceptor is body-on-frame. Listen, when you're PIT maneuvering a perp during a high speed chase, the last thing you want to worry about is bending the chassis. Plus you got them heavy duty brakes, suspension components and oil coolers. A sweet package, no doubt.
Here's the thing though. If this new Police Interceptor is more than a package, what platform will it ride on? Ford has stated publicly that it's ending the geriatric Panther Platform Crown Victoria's life in 2011. We'll go ahead and interpret that to mean that this new Police Interceptor won't be Crown Victoria-based. Do we know that for sure? No, but it's a logical bit of speculation. Could the new Interceptor be Taurus-based, maybe something with a SHO motor and stouter brakes? Again, yes, but for all we know the upcoming car's a Fiesta with the Mustang GT's new 5.0-liter V8 crammed in the rear seat. Or one of them apocryphal Australia-only rear-drive Falcons. All we know for sure is that Ford's introducing a new Police Interceptor to a select group of folks in Las Vegas this Friday. Production? Concept? We're not entirely sure yet. More details when we get them.

Sailing: OneWorld avoid ban
Tuesday 10 December 2002
An America's Cup arbitration panel handed the United States challengers OneWorld a stiff penalty yesterday but stopped short of disqualifying them for breaking Cup rules by having boat design secrets from other teams.
OneWorld will have one point taken from them for each remaining stage of the regatta. The five-man panel also ordered the team to pay costs of $65,000 (£42,000) before Monday.
Prada, of Italy, and Team Dennis Conner lodged protests last month seeking OneWorld's disqualification for allegedly possessing and using design secrets taken from other teams. OneWorld later beat Team Dennis Conner 4-0 to reach the semi-finals, where they will face Prada in a best-of-seven series. Each race is worth one point.
Conner, who has been involved in nine of the 31 America's Cups there have been since 1870, expressed his dissatisfaction with the verdict saying: "Call me a dinosaur, but in the old days, if you broke the rules you were thrown out. Maybe it's time for me to stop."
Racing in the semi-finals was due to begin yesterday but was postponed until today because of strong winds in the Hauraki Gulf.

IntestiNEW Powder
Why take IntestiNEW?
There used to be a saying made popular by dieticians, "You are what you eat." Now, thanks to extensive gastro-intestinal research, we are beginning to understand that "You are what you absorb" and having a healthy intestinal tract lining is crucial to healthy absorption. A healthy intestinal lining is important because it ensures properly digested food nutrients pass through it to enter the blood. A healthy lining also creates a barrier that keeps any undigested foods, toxins, parasites and bacteria from entering the blood.
A healthy intestinal lining replaces its cells every few days. IntestiNEW contains therapeutic doses of key nutrients that promote healing of the intestinal tract lining and reduce the inflammation commonly associated with intestinal disorders.
IntestiNEW is available in powder and vegetable capsule formulas. Contains no dairy, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, yeast, additives or preservatives.
POWDER: Mix one level scoop of powder in water and take first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
CAPSULES: Take 5 capsules with water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
SPECIAL WARNINGS: If you experience vomiting, abdominal pain or nausea stop using and consult your health practitioner. Do not use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have kidney disease, or you are sensitive to the Marigold family of plants. Keep this and all supplements and medications away from children. Take only the recommended dose.
|What is in IntestiNEW?
|How can it benefit me?
|L-Glutamine 5000mg

AITAPE, Papua New Guinea — At dinner time on Friday, the earth shook. Ten minutes later, villagers along the northern coast of Papua New Guinea heard a whooshing noise. It was the sound of a tsunami, a 30-foot-high wall of water rushing in from the ocean in the earthquake's aftermath.
The giant wave crashed over the coastline, carrying along thousands of villagers and their thatch-roofed homes and schools and an old German church. Two additional waves swept clear a 20-mile stretch of the coast. Officials now say as many as 3,000 people may have died and thousands more are injured.

Tuesday, July 19, 2011
Sedgwick County leaders appear to be on the 'horns of a dilemma' about what to do with the two silver bull sculptures that have stood outside the Britt Brown Arena for more than 30 years.
It appears there is about to be a good old fashioned bullfight here in Sedgwick County. Okay, not really. But a second group has now expressed interest in taking the steel bull sculptures from the Sedgwick County now that the Britt Brown Arena is no longer active.
"350,000 cows came from lower Texas to Wichita to board those trains," said Mary Lou Rivers, treasurer of the Wichita Greenway Alliance. "The first year, $2,000,000 worth of revenue was deposited in Wichita banks because of the cattle industry."
Rivers is passionate about Wichita history, especially Delano and how Wichita got its start.
"This would be, historically, a wonderful place for those bulls to be on display," Rivers explained.
Last week, a group of Maize parents and teachers told the county they would pay for moving and refurbishing the bulls in order to place them in front of the new Maize South High School as their mascot. But the Wichita Greenway Alliance, of which Rivers is a member of, believes the bulls could be a significant addition to the rich history of Delano and Wichita as a whole.
"When the cows came from Texas up the Chisholm Trail, they crossed the Big Arkansas River here and drove right down Douglas to the Union Station, got on the trains and headed east.," Rivers said.
At least one commissioner is open to the thought of giving one bull to Maize and the other to Delano, or see if the taxpayers could make a little money off of them.
"I'm not as familiar with the Delano proposal," said Commissioner Karl Peterjohn, "but I'd be interested in knowing what they're willing to offer and put on the table and obviously the best value for county taxpayers."
Right where Delano Park is now located, in fact, were the cattle pens that held thousands of cows and steers at the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas Rivers. This is a chance, Rivers says, to make a mark on history in Wichita.
"History means a lot to me. Delano means a lot to me," Rivers said emotionally. "Those cows need to be here."
County Manager Bill Buchanan says that a decision on what to do with the coliseum bulls could be made within the next month.

Pawsh Pet Resort and Spa was designed from a pet's perspective to provide its furry visitants with homely comforts amid a safe, fun, and personalized environment. The facility is managed by Holly Kierski, whose credentials for the job include certifications in pet CPR, first aid, and as a bark-to-English translator. Holly heads a staff of professionals that supervise all of Pawsh's day-to-day activities, ranging from exercise-packed daycare services to upscale boarding options, some of which feature password-protected webcams so traveling owners can peek in on their canine or kitty. Meanwhile, on the spa side of Pawsh, professionally trained groomers spruce up shaggy styles, and outside the facility, Pawsh employees jet off to clients' houses for in-home sitting of more exotic pets, such as horses, birds, and freeloading cousins.
The seasoned technicians at Sams Gas efficiently refill 20-pound propane tanks, perfectly designed for gas grills. Whether customers own their own propane reservoirs or buy one from Sams, a technician will fill it to the brim with fresh-from-the-farm propane gas, lauded for being nontoxic and having minimal effect on the environment or the indigenous dryer-sheet trees that spring up in lint filters.
Most pet owners consider their furry friends to be full members of the family, with privileges that meet or exceed those of their human roommates. With that in mind, it's understandable that some people would reject the one-size-fits-all approach to veterinary medicine. Licensed vet Dr. Deanna DeVuyst certainly understands. That's why she started Home Healing Animal Clinic, LLC, a mobile practice that delivers holistic treatments to pets during old-fashioned house calls. Whether she's redirecting animal energy during acupuncture treatments or mixing up a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, Dr. DeVuyst keeps her patients comfortable and relaxed. In addition to dogs and cats, Dr. DeVuyst also heals horses with equine acupuncture treatments.
The first mobile HydroDog station went on patrol in Australia in 1994, bringing dog-bathing and grooming services directly to clients' homes. Back stateside in 2011, Anthony Amos launched a fleet of blue, dog-shaped trailers, towed by his groomer's vehicles, kicking off his own HydroDog franchise. Furry friends hop aboard the whimsical, climate-controlled trailers during appointments. There, groomers clean dogs with a minimum of two tearless shampoos, de-mat tangled hair, and condition fur before cleansing the ears and smoothing the nails. A citrus treatment free of harsh chemicals and pesticides wards off pests such as fleas, ticks, or smaller dogs hiding in fur. After sessions, HydroDog's groomers disinfect all tools and equipment.
Over the past 20 years, Dr. Andy Michaud has been caring for cats and dogs by adhering to the adage, "I'll treat your pets like they're mine, and I'll treat you like a friend and a neighbor." Dr. Andy and his staff of animal lovers offer a variety of pet-care services, including after-hours emergency care for dogs and cats. In-house groomer, Rachel, is tasked with the important job of maintaining your pet's health and well-being. Regular grooming, equally important as regular physical check-ups, helps prevent issues like excessive shedding, skin or paw disorders, and bad breath. Rachel is at the animal hospital 6 days a week, during normal business hours to give your best friend the extra attention they deserve.
Plantation Pet Resort helps pets feel at home by giving them ample exercise and attention on 11 acres of grassy play space. Dogs bound into the day at 7:30 a.m., roaming in two shaded outdoor play yards—one for big dogs and one for small. A fenced grassy area provides plentiful space for energetic games of frisbee, fetch, and Pin the Tail on the Schnauzer. Canines barrel across turf and engage in friendly tussles for two hours as staff members give pets' heated and air-conditioned suites a thorough clean. Happily weary dogs are led back to their spacious accommodations for breakfast and a nap, returning outside four to five more times during the day for a half hour or more. At night, TVs, DVDs, and radios keep pets from missing the comforts of home and the antics of favorite talk-show hosts.

The theme park season has officially opened for summer.
Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, which is about 2 1/2 hours from Fort Wayne, opened last weekend, as well as Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, northeast of Cincinnati. Holiday World in Santa Claus opened May 3. All of these parks are a day's drive from Fort Wayne and make a nice mini weekend getaway.
But if you are planning to head to a theme park, there are some insider tips that may make your trip go a little smoother and save you some money.
•Always arrive early so you can enter when the park opens and get on popular rides before the lines get too long. Most visitors don't show up first thing in the morning, so arriving at least 15 minutes before the gates open can be the difference between no waiting or a wait of 60 to 90 minutes for main attractions.
•It should come as no surprise that Saturdays are the busiest day of the week for theme parks. Go during slower times, such as Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Also, May and June tend to be slower months than the busy July and August months when kids are out of school and everyone is on vacation.
•If you have small children, Cedar Point has a parent swap program. The program, which you can sign up for at guest services or the park operations office, allows one parent to wait in line to a height-restricted ride and then pass off their Parent Swap pass to the other parent who has been taking care of the little ones, allowing them to walk up the exit to get on the ride. No waiting in line.
•If you're going to a park by yourself, look for single-rider lines to save time in line. You can even do this if you're in a small group and are willing to split up.
•There are plenty of restaurants and snack spots inside the parks, but that can get kind of expensive for a family. Solution: Pack a lunch. Some parks, like Cedar Point, don't allow food or drinks in the park, but there are picnic areas and shelters where you can leave the park and go and eat. It will also allow you to take a break from walking around the park.
•Most parks will allow you to bring in unopened bottles of water, but if you find you are running short, ask for some water. Most parks offer free water to guests and this will save on buying a bottle of water, which can cost $4 or more inside the park.
•Give your children a fixed amount of spending money before going to a park. This will help cut down on whining and begging over souvenirs or snacks.
•Pin your name and cellphone number to the inside of your kids' clothes. This will help in locating your child (or mom and dad) if someone gets lost.
•Have problems locating your vehicle when leaving the park? Use your cellphone to take a picture of the nearest sign in the parking lot when you arrive to remind you later where you left your car.
•Don't pay full price for admission to an amusement park. Discounts can be found on the Internet, through employers, at local businesses and even on the theme parks' website. Also, if you are a member of AAA or Entertainment Card, you can get discounts. And usually, most parks offer free admission to children ages 2 and younger.

When Benjie, a black man who fought in the Civil War, returns to the southern town of Ironside, his return is not exactly a welcome one. The citizens are already uptight about the color of his skin, but the fact that he fought for the Union Army and still wears his uniform is all that is needed for hatred and violence to be fanned by an ex-Confederate soldier named Colby. Benjie's one true friend turns out to be Neal McMasters, the rancher who raised Benjie and is now offering him a half-share in the McMasters land. As Benjie tries to make his new home, he helps some starving Indians and finds himself the owner of an Indian woman who eventually becomes his wife. He also uses Indians to help with the round-up. But things come to a violent turn when Kolby's hatred launches a reign of anger that brings about an unusual white-black-red triangle in the phenomenon of prejudice.

Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight was not operating on a flight plan. The pilot and one passenger reported minor injuries. The flight was originating at the time of the accident with the intended destination of Dubuque Regional Airport, near Dubuque, Iowa.The pilot stated in his written statement that the engine lost power during initial climb, after which the airplane "... turned to the right in a nose up attitude stalled, and impacted on the nose and right wing."An inspection of the airplane subsequent to the accident did not reveal mechanical problems with the engine. The airplane's flight control continuity was verified.

One of a Kind Candidate: Tim O'Flaherty, State Representative, Manchester, NH
New Hampshire, you are a weird granite nut to crack. Remember when a group of people calling themselves Free Staters piled into a van and moved to New Hampshire, where they planned turn the state into America's #1 libertarian stronghold?
The Free Staters are still outnumbered by Regular Staters, but according to the New Hampshire Union Leader, they're sneaking into state races like sneaky little sneaksters. Take Tim O'Flaherty, a Free Stater who's running for state rep in Manchester as a Democrat against Republican Free Stater Dan Garthwaite, who is also Tim's roommate. There are so many more layers to this onion.

5 Signs of an Unbearable Day from Dixville Notch
While some of us were busy hitting refresh on the latest polling results, hoping to get a hit of some swing-state survey methadone before the heroin of actual voting results became available later this evening, the good people of two New Hampshire hamlets were already casting their ballots.
The voting in Dixville Notch, the more hilariously named of the two towns, was a tie, five to five. Barack Obama carried the other hamlet, Hart's Location with 23 votes to 9 for Mitt Romney and 1 for Gary Johnson.
Surely, the fate of New Hampshire's four electoral votes will be decided in Cooter's Hollow and Cockville Snatch, but what do the results from Dixville Notch mean right now?

Mitt Romney Now Winning, According to Mitt Romney's Numbers
Well, this is a relief. After weeks and weeks of different polling firms compiling mountains of data showing Obama with consistent leads in swing states, finally, on the eve of the election, everything turned around and now Romney is the clear favorite to win everything.
And not a minute too soon, am I right?

Sheriff Candidate No Longer Advocates Killing Abortion Doctors
Good news, everyone! Turns out that Frank Szabo — a candidate for sheriff of New Hampshire's Hillsborough County — does not believe that the U.S. Constitution gives county sheriffs the right to shoot down doctors who attempt to give women legal and consented abortions…
In a written statement, Szabo today said he has reflected on the "unacceptable public comments" he made yesterday, and retracted the idea that he would use deadly force to stop an abortion doctor and apologized to the people of New Hampshire for so carelessly losing track of what he was saying.
Yes, that is an actual thing that was actually written about an actual sheriff candidate. Because — believe it or not –yesterday, Szabo actually for real no-kidding said this…

The Little Chick-fil-A That Could (Support Gay Pride)
Today — while angrily shaking their fists out the window at Chick-fil-A restaurants they happen to pass while en route to the neighborhood co-op for more quinoa and free-range soy blocks — liberals should be careful to note which state they're in.
Because if they happen to in New Hampshire, then they happen to be angrily shaking their fists at a co-sponsor of the local LGBT Pride Festival…
New Hampshire's only Chick-fil-A restaurant is going against the wishes of chicken chain founder Dan Cathy by pledging to co-sponsor an LGBT Pride Festival in the state.
Likewise, social conservatives should be careful not to bring their good God-fearing dollars into the N.H. location or they could find themselves unwittingly supporting such an un-Christian principles as this…
"It would make me sad if someone felt that they were not openly welcomed into my life or restaurant based on their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender," [franchise manager Anthony] Picolia explained.
Personally, I don't think this location should be allowed to call itself Chick-fil-A. For the sake of clarity, I think it should have to call itself Chick-fil-B.
Or maybe Chick-fil-LGBT?

This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWebCamp wiki by expanding it.
Exporting your data
Instaport.me and flickstagram.org let you export your Instagram photos.
freedom.io (source) can copy all of your Instagram photos and videos to WordPress, Tumblr, or Blogger, creating a new blog post for each, with the original dates and all comments intact.
Instagram does not have a photo upload API. However they do have comments delete / create APIs. So here's how you can fake POSSE to Instagram:
And bingo, you've effectively created a POSSE copy of your photo on Instagram since it now has a permashortlink back to the new "original" on your own site.
At this point you can also use a service like Bridgy to backfeed comments on the photo from Instagram to your own site.
IndieWeb Implementations
Manual Notes POSSE
Some users manually POSSE occasional notes posts to Instagram, e.g.:
As of this edit:
For some reason, POSSE copies, even of *notes*, on Instagram receive more interactions per follower.
Hypothesis: the Instagram reader experience is so much smoother and nicer that it tends to encourage more use and thus more interactions.
Supposed Features and Limitations
Ryan Barrett has found that Instagram's API now supports progammatically "liking" photos (used to 400).
Cannot Comment
Ryan Barrett has found that authing with scope=comments works, but the API call still 400s.
According to Instagram's API documentation, their commenting API only works for those who are whitelisted. Unfortunately the criteria for application for whitelisting are very restrictive.
UX Observation
Bad Silo Interop with Twitter
Shortly after it was purchased by Facebook, Instagram stopped including Twitter metadata on their photo pages, so Twitter Cards no longer show image previews for Instagram photos.
Instagram drives more traffic to their site, at the cost of a worse experience for users.
Using OwnYourGram or another method of PESOSing your photos out of Instagram, you can control how your photos are shared on other silos like Twitter. (e.g., by including Twitter metadata, or by posting the photos directly).
Switch from Foursquare to Facebook venues
Some time in 2014-05, Instagram switched from using Foursquare's venue database (e.g. in the iOS app UI) to using Facebook's places database.
This has resulted in:

Lack of privacy of location data
When posting a photo to Instagram, if "add to photo map" is enabled (even if no venue is chosen) then the exact lat/lng of the photo is recorded. When viewing the single photo you won't see the location of it. However, when viewing the person's user profile you can switch to the map view and see their photos all on a map.
The map shows photos as clusters, and zooming in will expand the clusters into smaller clusters until finally individual photos appear on the map.
It is relatively easy to figure out the approximate location of someone's work or home by looking for these clusters.
See Also
Uneditable Custom Locations
When adding a photo at a venue that doesn't exist, it is possible to create a "custom location", which is unfortunately not editable from that point on.
One potential up-side is when searching for venues, your custom locations now show up at the top of the list without needing a round-trip to the server to search.
Creating this custom location prompts only for the name, the exact geo location is added automatically, meaning it is not possible to adjust the specific location of the venue.

God Is Hate
There is no ambiguity there. The fact is, most religions have become so secular they are little more than social organizations. The only reason this is even being discussed is because organized religions are so far from anything like real Christianity that they would crucify Christ all over again. Religions nowadays doesnt hold a gun to anyones head and say, Get baptized or die! It is a totally voluntary entity. But it is an obscenity to suggest that God Almighty must compromise His standard of conduct in order to appease people! Besides, no one has enforced those standards for so long that if people were disqualified from public office or public service positions for adultery, lying, or thieving, no one would be left to run the country but Jehovahs Witnesses! And they wont do it!
The point is, these religious organizations need to give up any pretense at being Christian and just admit they are secular. The issue will then go away. Anyone who wants can have their ears tickled. (2 Timothy 4:3-4) For there will be a period of time when they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled.
It doesnt matter what you say, it matters what you do. If a group shows another group a black piece of paper and tells them it is white and they disagree, it is because that paper is actually black, not because they hate white. It has to do with the reality of the color of paper. A problem will only exist if people want to write on the black paper with black ink and call it legible. Homosexuals and Christianity are much like black ink on black paper, nothing is legible. It will only work if spiritual organizations who want to accept homosexuals and minister to homosexuals spiritual needs give up any pretense at Christianity. If they become white ink on black paper, they will make sense. You cant have it both ways and expect people to accept it. It isnt about hate. Its about logic. It isnt logical to say God loves something He says He hates.

Joint Accountability
I dont know whether I should applaud the city for taking down a person of power who abused city funds or if I should blast the city for leaving this guy holding the bag (Eddie, June 1 and 8). Former Baltimore police commissioner Ed Norris obviously did a bad thinghe misused funds entrusted to him by the people of this city. It doesnt matter if everybody was doing it, it doesnt matter that it was an accepted practice among other city executives, and it doesnt matter that the funds were paid back. The fact is the funds were misused. Another fact is that the city is almost as much to blame as Mr. Norris.
Please, dont misunderstand me. While I do believe that every person is ultimately responsible for his or her own actions, the city and city politics did everything possible to allow this type of behavior. Mr. Norris did not create this special fundand we all know that these types of funds existhe didnt sign off on his own receipts, and he didnt directly see to it that the bills were paid. This was obviously a working system long before he got there. Anybody who knows anything about the city also knows that nothing ever gets done with just one persons OK. Items to be paid must be logged, sent to fiscal for signature, and finally sent to disbursements so that a check can be cut to pay the vendor. There is no way that Mr. Norris use of this fund was a secret to anybody. It is quite clear that Mr. Norris was singled out and taken down for reasons other than mishandling funds or misrepresenting himself on a loan application.

Felt Forum
Brian Morton does his usual party dance around the bush, pointing out how the Republicans are wrong, again, as they assail W. Mark Felts wrongdoing (Political Animal, June 8). Cant Mr. Morton just admit that the Democrats have their share of wrong deeds and this is one of those?
The fact that Mr. Felt was a very high-level FBI guy, and the FBI was immersed in misdeeds such as wiretapping, along with tailing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and labeling him a subversive, are among many other woefully wrong items brushed off or not mentioned by Mr. Morton.
Felt leaked information that should have gone to a grand jury and then hid his misstep for more than 30 years, and that is just brushed over, among many other woeful foundations, and he seems to be Mr. Mortons idea of a hero. The fact that U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) was a Klansman in his youth isnt condemned either. Is he a hero of Mortons, too? Guess Sandy Berger is, as stealing secret documents was in the interest of national security as well, and because he fell on the sword for Bill Clinton. Felts reason for coming out nownot to make amends for his misdeed but because his family needs moneyis not mentioned by Mr. Morton.
But, I guess it is OK if you are a Democrat. Sorta like the states that flew the Confederate flag over their various capitals were states that Democrats were in charge of when the flags were first put up, done on their watch, now it is spin time.
My crap detector is ringing here also.

Baltimore City
Kudos to Russ Smith for his continuing spot-on parody of right-wing commentators everywhere (Right Field, June 8). His latest jokepretending to draw some kind of equivalency between W. Mark Felt (at great personal risk helped expose a president bent on undermining our constitutional democracy) and Linda Tripp (for purely partisan political purposes helped expose an illicit affair)was a riot!
Bert Meisel
Oh, sweet easy money. I bet a fortune in hell bank notes that City Paper was incapable of writing an article about this years Sowebo Festival without turning it into another hatchet job on our neighborhood. Its been about a year since the last one, and sure enough, along comes Charles Cohens June 8 All Quiet on the Southwestern Front (Mobtown Beat).
Forget about opening your eyes and ears to the amazing festival so many strove so hard to create that day. More noir traveling down memory lane to last years cop melee, picking at the scab, feeling the pulse of the traumatized, simmering up the anxiety we might have with the police this year. Ill let you on to a little secret: We got over it. We had great final days communications with the police and have nothing but good things to say about their service this time round.
Look, sorry we couldnt supply you with a riot again, sorry the 50 bands bored you, sorry the dozens of arts and crafts vendors and Carriage House art show didnt catch your eye, sorry the children played and painted, sorry the weather was great and the beer flowed, sorry this was one of the most successful festivals in years. Jesus, of all the photos you could pick from a nine-hour festival, you choose the sad closing moment of a palooka busted by the cops. I dont mean to take anything away from Frank Kleins great photography, I mean to take away from City Papers lazy inability to connect to our community.
I know you are not obligated to write a boring fluff piece on a stupid neighborhood festival. But as a community with so many challenges that manages year in and year out to pull this festival off, we expect more than to be a backdrop for a police blotter. I dont know why City Paper has it in for us. Maybe you never forgave us for losing those watering holes so long ago. But hey, what the hell, anytime you need a bogeyman to scare the bejesus out of some upstart urban living experiment, I am glad we are here for you. Boo! Corner drug dealers. Boo! Section 8 housing. Boo! No familiar restaurant bars to get drunk in. . . . As far as the positive happenings in the hood, we included those in a letter last year as a rebuttal to a previous hatchet job. Youre not getting it twice.

BDC and OMalley Are Insane
Unless your last name is Hilton, one does not wake up one morning and decide to develop a mixed-use, 752-key hotel complex in a major U.S. metropolitan area (Strange Bedfellows, Mobtown Beat, June 1). Thats absurd. This is a project that Mayor Martin OMalley and the Baltimore Development Corp. are simply unqualified to execute, though that does not seem to be stopping them, even after the project was deemed nonviable by private developers.
Few people understand the influence wielded by the BDC. It is a quasi-public enigma whose original mandate was to facilitate private entities in obtaining and developing Baltimores vast stock of underutilized properties. Over time, its role has expanded. It is now the sole city government body that judges and approves all programming, design, and construction of all of downtowns real estate, both private and public. It decides the fates of projects behind closed doors, to further its own agenda, which, so far, is demonstrated by the disastrous west side rejuvenation. Now these arrogant nonelected civilians, who are unaccountable to the public, wish to become hotel developers with your money.
BDC President M.J. Jay Brodie may have announced on April 11 that the city ran out of options and must finance the project, but long before that the design was awarded to RTKL and astrologer-type consultants were hired to create reports with predetermined results. Such preparation shows that the BDC recognized that no sane private developer was going to touch this site anytime soon, so it did what anybody would do if he or she held all your money and had no accountability: It pressed ahead anyway.
Most repugnant were the comments made by Irene Van Sant, a BDC middle manager. While claiming to speak on behalf of the city, she openly denigrates an elected city councilman, Keiffer Mitchell Jr. (D-11th), and mocks his authority.
Be aware, citizens, that if these demagogues become a competitor in the local hotel industry, they will saturate a struggling market and may force some hotels out of business. These are the same hotels whose design and construction was originally dictated and controlled by the BDC, their new competitor. None of this adds up.
What is really needed is more public outrage at this abuse of power and misuse of public money. Unchecked, OMalley will force this project through and claim it as part of his legacy; however, by the time it is built and fails, he will either be in the White House or touring with U2, and Baltimore will be stuck with a $305 million tumor on its face.
I wish good luck to Councilman Mitchell and all those that support the concept of a nonsocialist free marketplace. Please defeat this proposal, continue to search for a private developer, and send the message to BDC officials that they are not our elected guardians and are accountable after all.

The SEC Bachstory will be a weekly SEC recap posted every Monday morning breaking down all the big events from the previous weekend. In order to eliminate all confusion, the Bach in Bachstory is pronounced like back (Back to the Future, The Empire Strikes Back, Back in Black), you get the picture. After a two week hiatus the Bachstory returns and there is a ton of stuff to discuss this week with Ole Miss stepping up, LSU and Georgia stepping back, the Wildcats on the road and more.
The Weekend That Was
There were some great games this weekend, but we have to start with the LSU loss to Ole Miss and before we get to the juicy stuff I want to talk about Ole Miss waking up the last month. There are two people responsible for the Rebel turn around, Defensive Coordinator Tyrone Nix and Running Back Dexter McCluster. Nix has been masterful all season and even with all the injuries he has had to deal with, the Rebel defense seems to be getting better each week. The most points the team has given up this year was 33 to Auburn and 9 of those points were scored by a Jevan Snead pick six and a blocked PAT returned for 2. They have been consistent all season while the offense has been the reason for the losses. Nix has NFL talent on the defensive line, at linebacker and in the secondary plus he lost the teams best defensive player, Greg Hardy, a couple weeks ago.
If the Quarterback position had been marginally better in the losses, the bowl scenario for the Rebels could be very different right now. Houston Nutt has admitted recently that he was worried about overusing Run DMC early this season and he didn't think he could handle the beating all year. Honestly, that is a total cop out. Nutt is notorious for this kind of junk and if you look back at the games the Rebels lost, McCluster was a non-factor because he barely touched the ball. In the loss to South Carolina, it is amazing Run DMC didn't get the ball to until the fourth quarter when he went off on the Gamecocks. But this is classic Houston Nutt, as an underdog he is maybe the best in the business. As a favorite, you get what happened in Columbia. Either way, the Rebels are poised for their first 10 win season since Eli was on campus and a very good bowl game.
The Weekend That Wasn't
The reason I didn't discuss the LSU game very much in the first section is because while Ole Miss won the game, the real story line was the LSU coaching staff. In what was the worst game management I have ever seen in my many years of watching college football, Les Miles gave his critics more ammo as he snatched a loss from the hands of victory. Miles has been fortunate, to put it nicely, in past seasons. Who can forget the 2007 Matt Flynn TD pass to Demetrius Byrd with 1 second left that led to a National Championship instead of the disaster that is happening today. Miles has been playing with fire for years and while his risks have sometimes paid off, this was just flat out mismanagement, poor coaching, lack of communication and bush league. Russ Mitchell called me after the game absolutely appalled and wrote this piecethat is dead on.
The entire article is on point but I want to expand on one item that is the most egregious to me. Russ points out how much time Miles let run off before calling the timeout prior to the 4th down play and if they had called the TO immediately they would have had time to spike the ball and run out the kicker. The time being wasted is insane, but what makes it worse is that they never had a plan on what to do if that 4th down Hail Mary was completed. LSU called a fricking timeout, how do you not discuss what happens if it is completed? Get the kicking team ready and if you don't think there is time for that, Jefferson has to have a play to run. Ole Miss would have been caught off guard if they ran a play immediately and it would have had a great chance to succeed. This loss is going to hurt Miles immensely, there already was skepticism that his success was with Nick Saban's players and now that he has lost seven games in two years after only losing six games in the first three seasons. The natives are restless, maybe Michigan will call.
The Weekend That…What the Heck
What the heck is going on in Athens right now? I was convinced they had turned a corner last week against Auburn with a gritty win over a good team, not an elite win by any means, but a win that they could have built some good momentum on and calmed the fans down until the winter break. Man was I wrong; I didn't see that Kentucky loss coming even with how well the Wildcats have played on the road this year (more on that coming). Last week against Auburn, Georgia had zero turnovers, they limited penalties and didn't beat themselves which is what they have done all year long. They played the first half against Kentucky much of the same way and then the second half turned into every other game they have played this year.
Joe Cox's face turned the color of his jersey which is now a sign that teams should wake up their defense because he is about to throw some picks. Last week he didn't turn that shade of red all game and played perfect. I know some of you out there remember the Nintendo game (original Nintendo) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III "The Manhattan Project." I bring this up because when you were playing the boss for a level and were about the defeat him, the bad guy would shimmer red because he was about to go down and you had almost beaten him. Joe Cox is the same way, when he is about to blow up he turns that same shade red so break out Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael because that boy is about to go down for the count.
The game against Tech has become one of the most important in Richt's career and he has made a point of beating Tech nearly every season. UGA can win that game, they are one of the most talented teams in the country, but there is just something wrong with their mental state right now. The undisciplined behavior that Richt has let run rampant through his program for years is now coming back to bite him in the butt on the field. This could end up being his first non-winning season in Athens and while he will get another chance to make it right in 2010, it will be at a price. Expect new coordinators on both sides of the ball and a number of position coaches to move on. Change is needed and if Richt doesn't do it, 2010 will be do or die instead of a rebuilding opportunity.
The Weekend That Will Be
Not many people need to be reminded what is going on this weekend, Rivalry weekend is the most loved and thought about weekend in the College Football season. Championship weekend is huge, but not every team plays for a championship, everyone has a rivalry. All traditional rivalry games should be played at the end of the year, no question. So Boise State/Idaho, Colorado/Colorado State, USC/Notre Dame, Iowa/Iowa State and any other program that I left out because your game isn't being played this weekend; you are doing it wrong. The last regular season of the year we get Kentucky/Tennessee, Georgia/Georgia Tech, Clemson/South Carolina, Florida State/Florida, Alabama/Auburn, Arkansas/LSU and Ole Miss/MSU. It is the dream weekend for SEC fans, no other weekend comes close and we love it.
Big Man on Campus (BMOC)
Ryan Mallett, Arkansas QB
This one is going to be short and sweet, Mallett tossed for 313 yards and five touchdown passes. He did throw a couple picks, but came back strong to blow out Mississippi State in the Razorbacks final home game of the season. Right now Mallett is the first team All-SEC QB over Tim Tebow, basically if Tebow is named 1st team QB it will have absolutely nothing to do with this season and it will be based on his career. If you want to give the Heisman or Dave O'Brien award for a lifetime achievement I won't argue (although I disagree) but don't do it for a post season All-SEC team.
Player Now Doing Charlie Work (PNDCW)
As a note to those who do not know what "Charlie-Work" is, do yourself a favor and start watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (the episode called "Dennis and Dee go on Welfare" explains it perfectly).
Joe Cox, Georgia QB
Cox was abysmal is the loss to Kentucky, he turned the ball over three times…once inside the Kentucky 2 yard line and all in the fourth quarter. He completed 12 of 30 passes for a ton of yards and three touchdowns, but the turnovers killed UGA. If you aren't sure how a team can out gain their opponent by almost 230 yards and still lose, watch this game.
4 Downs with the SEC
First Down – Down Year for the SEC?
While it may seem stupid to consider a year when the top two teams in the country are from the SEC a down year, that is exactly what we have in 2009 and actually it is what we had in 2008. The SEC seems to have become a top heavy league like the Big 12 and Big Ten used to be with two teams dominating and every one else knocking each other around. All you need to know about where the SEC is this year is to look at the Polls, the ACC (probably the worst conference in the country) has 5 teams ranked in the top 25 and the SEC has 4 teams. Of course the season isn't over yet and I expect the SEC to make a couple statements this weekend against the Atlantic Coast Conference, but right now the league is 2 teams and everyone else.
The answer to that is simply coaching, Florida and Alabama have two of the best coaching staffs in the country and everyone else in the SEC right now is trying to catch up. Looking across the SEC it has been a disappointing year for coordinators and head coaches. Mark Richt is getting destroyed, Les Miles and Gary Crowton have taken huge steps back, Gene Chizik/Lane Kiffin/Dan Mullen are almost finished with their rookie seasons and they have all faired very well but they aren't striking fear in any of the SEC elite yet. Spurrier, Petrino, Nutt and the rest all have their ups and downs, but outside of the Gators and the Tide there is very little consistency. Last year was poor because of the youth at the quarterback position for most of the league and they still dominated in bowl games. Coaching is the question mark this year, but even in a down year for the SEC the bowl games will once again prove that it is the premiere league in the country.
Second Down – Kentucky on the Road
It is time for another one of my favorite things to do, a trivia question. Can anyone tell me what Alabama, Florida and Kentucky have in common this season? It is a pretty impressive stat and it should be discussed more than it has been so far this season, but these three teams are the only teams in the SEC to win 4 or more games away from home this year. Alabama has won in Atlanta against Va Tech, at Kentucky, at Ole Miss and at MSU. Florida has won at Kentucky, at LSU, at MSU, in Jacksonville against Georgia and at South Carolina. Kentucky has won in Cincinnati against Miami (OH), at Auburn, at Vanderbilt and at Georgia. The Wildcats one road loss was a 2 point defeat at South Carolina. Pretty impressive for a Kentucky team that has for years been doing just enough to make bowl appearances and now has a shot at their third 8 win season in four years.
Rich Brooks doesn't get nearly the credit he deserves for his job at Kentucky and with a fourth straight bowl appearance wrapped up it is amazing how well he has done for the Wildcats. After losing seasons in his first three years in Lexington, this will be his fourth year in a row with a winning record. He has taken a program that was a speed bump in the SEC where teams ran them over on their way to bigger and better things and turned into a threat to win against the "powers" of the SEC. It is unsure how long Brooks will continue to coach at Kentucky with Joker Phillips already named Head Coach in Waiting, but as long as he is coaching Kentucky, they are very fortunate to have him. He should get some serious consideration for the SEC Coach of the Year award and if they beat Tennessee, he should get it.
Third Down – Most Important Rivalry weekend in Years
Every year teams focus on this weekend because they hear about their rival 365 days a year. Fans, coaches, players and pollsters point to this weekend as the best in our sport and this year there is more on the line than any other season in recent memory. The bowl positioning seems to be more in flux than ever and a win in a rivalry game could push a team from any old postseason bowl to one on New Years Day. The coaches that would be under the most pressure to win this year look to be Gene Chizik, Mark Richt and Steve Spurrier. All three of these coaches need to win and get some positive momentum into 2010. For Chizik, a loss to Alabama would be the second time in two years that Auburn has lost to both Alabama and Georgia, this had not happened since 1998. Richt has never lost two straight to Georgia Tech, actually until last season he had never lost 1 straight to the Jackets and 7-5 with a win over top 10 Tech would possibly move their postseason destination from Shreveport to Atlanta or Nashville.
Spurrier might be the most desperate of the bunch considering the Gamecocks consistent late season meltdowns. Another loss to Clemson would be his fourth in five years and Gamecock fans who have been very patient with his struggles will likely not be so forgiving considering recruiting is not as good this year as it was last. It is hard to convince players to come to your school when you can't seem to beat your rival and you spend your holiday practicing in Birmingham. My picks will come out later this week, but right now I have only one of these three winning their rivalry game so two of these teams will need big bowl wins to escape the torment of losing to their rival for the second year in a row.
Fourth Down – The Bowl Picture
If everyone else gets to make bowl predictions it only seems fair that I get the opportunity to do the same. The SEC bowl picture is still a mess but right now this is pretty much where everyone stands. As usual keep in mind that outside of the Sugar bowl, no game is earned, it is given. It is more about ticket sales and match-ups than it is a team's record and since the Big Ten season is over and they always assign bowl games before the SEC, someone is going to get screwed out of a big bowl game; happens every year.
BCS Championship – Florida vs. Texas
Sugar Bowl – Alabama vs. Pitt
Citrus Bowl (Capital One) – Ole Miss vs. Iowa
Outback Bowl – Tennessee vs. Wisconsin
Cotton Bowl – LSU vs. Nebraska
Peach Bowl (Eat Mor Chikin) – Auburn vs. Virginia Tech
Music City Bowl – Arkansas vs. Clemson
Liberty Bowl – Georgia vs. Southern Miss
Independence Bowl – Kentucky vs. Kansas State
Papa Johns Bowl – South Carolina vs. Rutgers
