Beating Flappy Bird is Almost Impossible… Almost [VIDEO]
Whoever said beating Flappy Bird was impossible was wrong...
Whoever said beating Flappy Bird was impossible was wrong...
The internet never ceases to amaze me. It's a veritable strand of DNA that connects almost every human on Earth. We are just over seven billion people.
The internet is the greatest resource we have in terms of non-tangible things
No lie, we all enjoy the fights. Our parents enjoyed the world of boxing, our grandparents looked on in the realm of bare-knuckle boxing. It's a heritage that can be traced back millenniums, even farther back than wrestling in Rome. As humans, fighting is ingrained in our DNA. With the latest evolution being MMA (mixed martial arts), it's become so captivating that even the hottest of chicks are into it these days...
This is one of the most backwards looking things you'll ever see.
Every single week, I dedicate a lot of time wasting to seeking out the best gif pics I can find. Mainly because gif's rule, and wasting company time is a hard thing to justify in a world of endless selfies. While it's lacking a little of the "weirdness" you're used to seeing, I make up for it with epicness and boobs.
This Valentine's Day are you thinking of doing something a little different, maybe a threesome? Or maybe you're all alone and don't have a Valentine this year, how sad. Are you still up for a threesome? The wrecking crew over at Break.com hit the streets with a hilarious V.D. prank asking random guys if they wanted to have a threesome for Valentine's Day.
The Epic Meal Time crew loaded out a second recipe this week, featuring the one and only Tony Hawk! Taking everything food you'd be able to get at an average baseball game, and baking it all into one epic meal of a pizza!
CPR is one of those "things" that we've seen so much on TV, in movies, and on the web that most of us should be pretty confident in whipping it out when the moment calls for it. But, that's no excuse to go cracking your best bro's sternum...
If you haven't noticed yet, the Z-Crew has been pretty obsessed by Vine recently. It's honestly seven seconds of pure awesomeness. The possibilities are limitless, but you start running out of ideas by Vine 34 of the day
The Epic Meal Time crew is apparently switching things up. A few weeks ago, we noticed a second, smaller video each week titled "Handle It." It normally features one of the lesser known crew, but being true to the badassery EMT is known for
It's every athlete's dream -- appearing on 'SportsCenter's' top 10 Plays.
Being the so called "King of Weird", I tend to stumble across a lot of awesomeness. Mix in a hint of internet over-exposure, and normal photos just aren't good enough anymore.

Milwaukee Brewers Rumors
West Links: Rockies, Astros, Bogar, Young, Montgomery
The Dodgers made more headlines yesterday when it was reported that A's assistant GM Farhan Zaidi would become their new GM to work under president of baseball ops Andrew Friedman, and that former Padres GM Josh Byrnes would join the front office as well. That may be the biggest front office news that's come out recently, but it's not the only news. Here's are some more notes on front offices and coaching staffs, all of which happen to pertain to baseball's Western divisions…
- The Rockies announced yesterday their entire 2014 coaching staff as well as some front office promotions (Twitter links). Former Rox reliever Darren Holmes will assume the role of bullpen coach, while Steve Foster was named pitching coach. Foster has worked as a minor league pitching coach and bullpen coach with the Marlins and also worked with the Royals bullpen from 2009-11.
- In the Rockies' front office, five executives were promoted. Rolando Fernandez is now the VP of international scouting and development, Zachary Rosenthal and Jonathan Weil were promoted to assistant GM, Zachary Wilson will assume the role of senior director of player development, and Danny Montgomery was named a special assistant to new GM Jeff Bridich.
- The Astros hired Alan Zinter as their new assistant hitting coach, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle tweeted yesterday. The 46-year-old Zinter had a 19-year minor league career and also saw time in Japan back in '99. He was twice called up for a taste of big league action, first in 2002 with Houston and again in 2004 with the D'Backs.
- After missing out on the chance to become the Rangers' permanent manager, Tim Bogar has taken a role with the division-rival Angels as a special assistant, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter link). Bogar took over as the interim manager in Texas following Ron Washington's abrupt resignation, but the Rangers ultimately hired former Pirates bench coach Jeff Banister as their new skipper.
- The Rangers today officially announced the hiring of Michael Young as a special assistant to GM Jon Daniels. The move was first reported back in October though not made official until today. Young will assist GM Jon Daniels in player evaluation and development at the Major League and Minor League level in addition to going on scouting trips and special assignments.
- The Brewers officially announced on Monday that they had hired Ray Montgomery away from the D'Backs as their new vice president of amateur scouting and a special assistant to GM Doug Melvin, and Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic looks at what the loss means for the Diamondbacks. Montgomery interviewed for the team's GM job before Dave Stewart was hired, and he was said to be in line for a promotion. Stewart tells Piecoro that the team was working to expand Montgomery's responsibilities but hadn't figured out exactly how his role would grow prior to his departure. Stewart and VP of baseball operations De Jon Watson will meet this week to discuss replacement candidates, and Piecoro lists a few internal candidates.

Aramis Ramirez Exercises Option To Remain With Brewers
Aramis Ramirez has exercised his side of his $14MM mutual option with the Brewers and will return to the club in 2015, the Brewers announced via their Twitter feed. Milwaukee exercised its end of the option on Friday. Ramirez is represented by Paul Kinzer.
Ramirez said in September that he was keeping his options open, though he preferred to return to Milwaukee and wasn't sure if he wanted to play beyond the 2015 season. Exercising this option checks off both boxes for the 36-year-old slugger, though as MLBTR's Tim Dierkes noted in Ramirez's Free Agent Profile, it's very rare for a team and player to both agree on a mutual option, let alone one worth as much as $14MM. Dierkes projected Ramirez to find a two-year deal worth between $26-$30MM (depending on if Ramirez had a qualifying offer attached to him or not) this winter.
"He is comfortable in Milwaukee, and obviously Aramis has made a lot of money in his career and he has invested wisely and is in very good shape (financially)," Kinzer tells Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "He told me he wants to control his own destiny. He'll decide after next year if he wants to keep playing.
"If he signed a two- or three-year deal (with another club) now, he'd feel obligated to fulfill that contract. This is his choice. He's happy in Milwaukee and if he puts up the numbers and wants to play another year, it's his decision and nobody else's. He said he'll sit down with his family at the end of next year and decide if he wants to play more. It was an easy decision for him."
Ramirez hit .285/.330/.427 with 15 homers and a 109 wRC+ over 531 plate appearances in 2014. While still a productive bat, there were a few red flags around Ramirez's performance — he hasn't posted a lower slugging percentage since the 2002 season, a lower walk rate since 2000, and his .142 ISO was a career-low over a full season. If Ramirez's decline gets sharper, the Brewers may have dodged a bullet by only having the veteran under contract through next season. Milwaukee's corner infield situation for 2015 has become much clearer with Ramirez returning at third and the newly-acquired Adam Lind getting much of the time at first base, though Lind will need a platoon partner to face left-handed pitching.
Dierkes ranked Ramirez as the 19th-best free agent of the 2014-15 offseason, and the fairly sparse third base market gets even thinner with Ramirez off the board. This further strengthens Pablo Sandoval and Chase Headley's chances of finding big contracts as the best available 3B options, though Hanley Ramirez could also still explore signing as a third baseman.

Quick Hits: Ramirez, Astros, Padres
Here's the latest from around the league:
- Potential free agent Aramis Ramirez will meet with his agent on Sunday to determine if he will exercise his side of a $14MM mutual option with the Brewers, reports Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish. The Brewers exercised their end of the deal on Friday. Ramirez has hit well when healthy, including a .285/.330/.427 line last season. However, he's averaged just 441 plate appearances over the past two years. Entering his age 37 season, teams may be hesitant to commit to many years or a high annual value. Even so, he can likely earn better on the open market. Ramirez will receive a $4MM buyout (paid in two, $2MM installments) if he declines the option.
- With Root Sports Houston solving the Astros broadcasting disaster, Houston may have more money to spend in free agency, according to Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle. Owner Jim Crane is on the record as saying payroll could edge up by $20MM, which is fairly modest considering the club ranked dead last in 2014 with an opening day payroll of $44.5MM, per ESPN. The new partnership with Root Sports Houston could further improve the Astros financial position. As Drellich points out, just don't expect Max Scherzer.
- Also via Drellich, the Astros could aim to improve via trade, as they did with Dexter Fowler last offseason. The club is loaded with young talent, and at some point it will be necessary to consolidate some of that depth. The bullpen and infield (aside from Jose Altuve) are the top problem areas for the club, and they could stand to add a starter too.
- The Padres front office hires under new GM A.J. Preller have a common trait, notes Dennis Lin of U-T San Diego. The group of Don Welke, David Post, Chris Kemp, Sam Geaney, and Logan White all have very strong reputations as talent evaluators. At least one outside source believed talent evaluation was a weakness for the Padres, so the focus seems well placed.

Blue Jays, Brewers Swap Adam Lind, Marco Estrada
The Brewers have acquired 1B/OF Adam Lind from the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish tweets. SportsNet.ca's Ben Nicholson-Smith initially reported the two sides were close to a deal. The Jays will receive righty Marco Estrada in return, Andrew Walker of Sports590.ca tweets.
The Blue Jays exercised Lind's $7.5MM option on Lind earlier today, and Lind's contract also includes a 2016 option for $8MM or a $500K buyout. Even though the Jays picked up the option, there were rumors they might trade Lind. Lind hit .321/.381/.479 in 290 plate appearances this season, but the Jays' acquisition of another lefty first baseman, Justin Smoak, last week was a possible indication that they were planning for Lind's departure.
The Brewers had a need at first base, and Lind will presumably take most of the at-bats there. He's below average defensively at any position, but he should be able to make up for that with his hitting. At age 31, there isn't much reason to expect a steep decline from his .273/.336/.450 career numbers, although a repeat of his 2014 offensive performance is perhaps unlikely.
Lind is a career .212/.257/.331 hitter against lefties, so the Brewers will surely use him in a platoon, possibly with someone like Jason Rogers or with another outside addition. As Brewers GM Doug Melvin points out (via Todd Rosiak of the Journal Sentinel on Twitter), though, the NL Central is heavy on right-handed starting pitching. The main Brewers 2014 first basemen, lefty Lyle Overbay and righty Mark Reynolds, are both set to become free agents.
Estrada posted a 4.36 ERA with 7.6 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 for the Brewers in 2014. He's entering his last season of arbitration eligibility (in which he's projected to make $4.7MM) before he can become a free agent. He lost his job in the Brewers' rotation in July, then pitched significantly better down the stretch as a reliever. He's a fly ball pitcher and he isn't a hard thrower, which led to 29 home runs allowed last season. Still, his other peripherals are solid, particularly if he can revert to his 2013 numbers, when he posted 8.3 K/9 and 2.0 BB/9. The Blue Jays currently appear mostly set in their rotation, particularly after picking up J.A. Happ's option last night, so Estrada could be ticketed for the bullpen.

Brewers Nearing Deal For Adam Lind
The Brewers are close to a trade for 1B/DH Adam Lind, Ben Nicholson-Smith of SportsNet.ca tweets. The Blue Jays exercised their 2015 option on Lind today, but they've taken calls on him already this offseason.

Central Notes: Brewers, Aviles, Scherzer
Scouting director Ray Montgomery has left the Diamondbacks to becomes special assistant to the general manager and vice president in charge of scouting for the Brewers, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic writes. It's a significant hire for the Brewers — Piecoro notes that Montgomery is widely considered to be very promising, and that he interviewed for the Padres' open GM job months ago. Montgomery worked with the Brewers before the Diamondbacks hired him in 2010. Here are more notes from the Central divisions.
- The Indians exercised Mike Aviles' option in part because they would like top shortstop prospect Francisco Lindor to get more time at Triple-A Columbus, Terry Pluto of the Plain Dealer writes. Lindor earned a promotion to Columbus last season but only collected 180 regular season plate appearances there. With Lindor in the minors, Jose Ramirez will start at shortstop, with Aviles backing up Ramirez and second baseman Jason Kipnis. Pluto feels Aviles would have trade value if Lindor earned a promotion more quickly than the Indians anticipate.
- Tigers ace Max Scherzer could receive a seven-year, $175MM contract to top this offseason's free agent market, writes Joel Sherman of the New York Post, projecting salaries for ten top free agents. Sherman notes that his guess on Scherzer might be low, but that Masahiro Tanaka's 2014 season with the Yankees demonstrates the kinds of uncertainties that often accompany big-money investments in pitchers.

Brewers Exercise Mutual Option On Aramis Ramirez
The Brewers have exercised their half of a $14MM mutual option on third baseman Aramis Ramirez, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (Twitter link). Ramirez and his agents at Kinzer Management will now have three days to decide whether to accept their half or decline in favor of free agency.
Should Ramirez exercise his half, he'd be locked into a one-year, $14MM deal to return to the Brewers. If he forfeits that salary, the Brewers could still make him a one-year, $15.3MM qualifying offer. The team has obviously expressed a willingness to pay him $14M, so it stands to reason that the additional $1.3MM wouldn't be too much of a detriment, especially considering the fact that it would secure them a compensatory draft pick at the end of the first round of the 2015 draft should Ramirez decline the offer and sign elsewhere.
MLBTR's Tim Dierkes recently penned a free agent profile on Ramirez noting that he believes Ramirez can find a two-year, $30MM contract on the open market without a qualifying offer attached but may have to settle for a lesser annual value and take something along the lines of a two-year, $26MM deal if the Brewers make the QO.
One other option, as Tim covered in the profile, would be for the two sides to work out a compromise over the next 72 hours and draw up a new two-year deal at a slightly lesser rate than the QO or the current $14MM sum. Tim speculated that the same $26MM price tag might make sense for both sides, and I'm inclined to agree.
Ramirez, 36, batted .285/.330/.427 with 15 homers in 133 games (531 plate appearances) this season, though he did struggle in the season's second half. Nevertheless, 2014 marked the 11th time in the past 12 seasons that Ramirez has posted an OPS+ of 100 or better. He averaged a 134 OPS+ from 2011-13, suggesting that he can still produce at a very high offensive level even as he ages.

Brewers Claim Juan Centeno
The Brewers announced that they have claimed catcher Juan Centeno off waivers from the Mets (Twitter link).
Centeno, 24, received 43 plate appearances with the Mets from 2013-14 and batted .225/.279/.225. In 439 plate appearances at the Triple-A level, the Puerto Rican backstop has a much more palatable .298/.345/.355 batting line. Baseball America ranked Centeno as the Mets' No. 28 prospect following the 2013 season and named him the best defensive catcher in the Pacific Coast League this past season.

Brewers Decline Rickie Weeks' Option
The Brewers have announced the decision to decline their $11.5MM club option on Rickie Weeks, making him a free agent. Additionally, the team officially announced that it will exercise Yovani Gallardo's option as MLBTR's Tim Dierkes reported yesterday.
Weeks, 32, was the No. 2 overall selection of the 2003 draft by the Brewers. He's spent his entire career with Milwaukee. He emerged as one of baseball's best second basemen from 2007-11, hitting .255/.357/.448 with an average of 18 homers, 13 steals, 2.5 rWAR and 3.1 fWAR per season in that stretch. However, his production has declined steadily since that time, as he's batted .233/.327/.398 since that time and eventually fell into the short end of a platoon role with the left-handed hitting Scooter Gennett.
Weeks inked a four-year, $38.5MM contract extension prior to the 2011 season. He will now hit the open market in a thin class for second basemen. Because of the lack of free agent competition, some clubs figure to have interest in Weeks in a full-time capacity despite lackluster performances against right-handed pitching in recent years. It should be noted, of course, that Weeks did hit .294/.351/.395 in a small sample of 131 plate appearances against righties this year and .274/.357/.452 overall, giving interested clubs reason for optimism.

Brewers Exercise Yovani Gallardo's Option
The Brewers have officially exercised their $13MM club option on right-hander Yovani Gallardo, reports MLBTR's Tim Dierkes (on Twitter).
Gallardo, 29 in February, has spent his entire career with the Brewers after being selected in the second round of the 2004 draft. In 2014 he totaled 192 1/3 innings of 3.51 ERA ball with 6.8 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9. Though he no longer averages a strikeout per inning as he did from 2009-12 (perhaps, in part, due to slightly diminished fastball velocity), the option was still a relatively easy call for the Brewers. Gallardo's option contained a $600K buyout, essentially making this a $12.4MM decision for the Brewers.
In parts of eight Major League seasons with Milwaukee, Gallardo has a 3.69 ERA with 8.6 K/9, 3.3 BB/9 and a 46.3 percent ground-ball rate. He signed a five-year, $30.1MM contract prior to the 2010 season, and by virtue of this option being exercised, will see that guarantee rise to $43.1MM over a six-year term.

What others say: 'Obamacare' needs to be reformed, not repealed
This may be grabbing at straws that there is some hope for ending the poisonous partisan deadlock over "Obamacare," but it could be a positive sign that former Senate Republican leader Bill Frist is emerging as a voice in the health care debate.
And in one of those "only in Washington" tectonic political shifts, he is doing it in partnership with former Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle. Many believe the two politicians would never speak to each other again — let alone cooperate on remaking one of Congress' most far-reaching laws.
Frist defied tradition and Senate collegiality by campaigning against Daschle in the Democrat's home state of South Dakota, a race Daschle ultimately lost.
But now the two have united under the banner of the Bipartisan Policy Center to defend critical sections of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, large sections of which Frist agrees with, an act of heresy in GOP congressional circles.
Frist knows health care and health care policy. He's a heart-lung transplant surgeon whose family founded a giant hospital-management company. He is working with other health care specialists on a report due out early next year — and it will not recommend repealing the Affordable Care Act, which Republicans say will be their first order of business if they are in charge.
The problem for congressional Republicans is that the public is coming to like parts of the Obama plan — universal access, not being denied coverage for pre-existing conditions, no lifetime limit on coverage and coverage for dependents up to age 26.
And there is great skepticism among older voters about the Romney-Ryan plan to begin replacing Medicare and its direct payments with vouchers to buy private health insurance.
Frist is a strong advocate of the individual mandate and the state-based health-insurance exchanges. And for all the bogus GOP talk of "death panels," he is calling for reforms to incentives to use expensive high technology on terminally ill patients. He has noted that 30 percent of Medicare costs, more than $150 billion annually, is spent in the last months of life.
The Republican slogan of "repeal and replace" has a nice ring to it, but is probably politically unworkable. There are ways to reform health care, however, and Frist and Daschle could provide the gravitas and bipartisanship to make that happen.

September 16, 2014 --

Turn to chiropractic care to treat back pain
Updated On: Oct 10 2013 08:22:21 AM PDT
(NewsUSA) - Anyone who's ever suffered with chronic back pain can tell you how debilitating it can be. Take Naomi Morgan, a 65-year-old nursing assistant from Maryland who's been living with it for more than 20 years.
"The pain was beyond terrible," Morgan recalls. "There were times when I could barely walk."
Long-popular steroid injections have been linked to medical complications and side effects. So patients like Naomi are now looking for safer ways to manage their pain.
"I had already had two surgeries and my doctor recommended a third," she says. "But I swore that the only way I would ever have surgery again is if I wasn't able to move my legs, back or anything else."
Morgan turned to Dr. Alan Sokoloff, the chiropractor for the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens.
"Often times, patients want instant relief or a quick fix," says Dr. Sokoloff, "even if it means choosing a more aggressive route. Research continues to show the effectiveness of the conservative method: Trying chiropractic first, then medicine and surgery, is gaining in demand with its safe and positive results."

Said he plays taller than his height. Aaron Wilson
Johnny Manziel has seen his share of critics say he doesn't have what it takes to succeed as an NFL quarterback.
Whether it be his height (a listed 5-11-3/4 at the combine) or the notion that he leaves the pocket too soon, the former Heisman Trophy winner has heard it all.
Speaking at the NFL combine on Friday, Manziel said he's looking to prove those people wrong.
"I'm just looking to show up all the people who are saying that I'm just an improviser, I feel like I worked extremely hard this year to all around hone in on my game," Manziel said. "So continuing to do that. I'm working out in San Diego, continuing to do that and get better as a pocket passer and a quarterback in general."
Asked about his height, Manziel said, "I feel like I play 10 feet tall." It's clear there's a level of confidence to Manziel the NFL will soon see.
And that confidence translate into a high level of competitive nature.
"I think I'm probably one of the most competitive people on the face of the earth," Manziel said. "Whether it's sitting here playing tic-tac-toe or rock-paper-sciccors or whatever it may be, I want to win."

Happy Meowday My Adam, My Love. It is so hard to believe this is your third Meowday without You. I hope you will come and visit again, I REALLY need it. I am doing better. I guess that is why God and You decided that it was time for me to take care of another little boy. Thank You for sending him to me. But, did you have to send me another baby boy that has diarrhea. That smell is back just like you. Giving him pills mixing medicine. Makes everything about you come flooding back. But, you know I will do all I can for him. He is a very sweet little boy.

I have cried so much, I don't know why that week was so very hard for me. I think about you all the time. YOU are never far from My Heart. I woke up today and that day came flooding back. I started to remember every little thing that happened that day. I look at the clock and think about what I was doing then. I feel you are here, the Girls are acting strange, looking down the hall. I was sitting on the floor where you left me. Are you here my Sweetheart? I will go later to your grave to put some flowers and to sit and talk to you. I hope you can send me a sign a message. I know you are ok , I just want to hear from you.

Oh my, this is so very hard to type. I still can't believe I am really typing this. I can't believe it has been a year since My Sweet Adam left me that terrible day. I am still stuck on that day and that time 3:15 when I heard that terrible scream and He was gone. Time has not helped in fact it just makes things worse, I still cry at strange times, I see something that reminds me of Adam and I cry. I wake up in the middle of the night hearing that sound and start to cry. This has been so very hard on me and I know My heart will never mend, this pain will never go away or ease. There is a huge hole in my Heart that will never close.

Police: Katy Trail robbery suspects may be tied to more than a dozen area attacks
Wopular is an
online newspaper rack,
giving you a summary view of the top headlines from the top news sites.
Senh Duong (Founder)Wopular,
A Missouri judge this week ordered the state to stop paying membership fees to an organization that's writing tests for the Common Core educational standards.
Cole County Circuit Judge Daniel Green on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order for about two weeks to block Missouri from giving taxpayer dollars to the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.
A spokeswoman for the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium directed inquiries to Executive Director Joe Willhoft and Chief Operating Officer Tony Alpert, who did not respond to an interview request Wednesday.
The restraining order notes that Missouri still will have access to the consortium's assessments without being a member and without paying fees.
Authorities in New Jersey say a Pennsylvania woman has been arrested for paying an undercover officer she thought was a hit man to kill her daughter's ex-boyfriend and two other people.
"Nagrodski didn't have a lot of money, but she certainly had a lot of determination to take revenge on the man she believed had taken her grandchildren from her," said Elie Honig, director of the state's Division of Criminal Justice.
The State Police disarmed an explosive situation and probably prevented multiple deaths.
In June, arrest orders were issued for three other opposition figures living abroad who are accused of plotting with the United States to topple Maduro's socialist government.
The Oklahoman reported (http://bit.ly/1HGS2BP ) Wednesday that the autopsy says Hufford apparently tried to fight off the attack and had defensive injuries to both hands and her right arm.
A spokeswoman for the Oklahoma medical examiner's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.
Moore makes comeback from life-threatening injury
DENVER (AP) — Before every game, Broncos safety Rahim Moore rolls down his socks to oil the 13-inch scar that serpentines down his left calf.
Only when he awoke from emergency surgery did he understand his quick thinking had saved his limb and maybe even his life.
Moore wouldn't realize until after watching the Super Bowl from the sideline that seeking medical attention right away also saved his NFL career.
By every measure, the fourth-year safety has returned a better player this season after doubling down on his film study while rehabbing from the rare muscle condition called acute lateral compartment syndrome.
Many things silhouette a man's life, from the choices he makes to the journey he takes, and some of the things have come to define Moore are these: sidestepping the tough streets of L.
Appeals court judge declares against death penalty
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A judge on the state's top criminal court has declared that he now believes the death penalty should be abolished as a punishment for capital murder.

Hey, you know who goofs on his political opponents and their families all the time based on their physical appearance? Jon Stewart does…
After tonight's Daily Show, we can add Jon Stewart to the ever-growing list of people who can't help but wonder if Marcus Bachmann, husband to Republican presidential candidate Michele and runner of a pray-the-gay-away facility, may be a little light in the loafers.
OMG I'm so offended! How would Jon Stewart feel if somebody did that to him?
/ flimsy moral justification
Ew, gross!
Via Wikipedia…
Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz; November 28, 1962) is an American political satirist, writer, television host, actor, media critic and stand-up comedian.
In 2000, Stewart married Tracey McShane, his girlfriend of four years. The couple met on a blind date set up by a production assistant on Stewart's film, Wishful Thinking. On June 19, 2001, Stewart and his wife filed a joint name change application and legally changed both of their surnames to "Stewart."
I know what you're thinking: "But maybe she just had a bad day. Or maybe she just ate dinner (or three)". WRONG.
I'm sure she was prettier before she had kids, but that's like saying a used car was nicer before it got driven off a cliff.

My Ceviche dishes out inexpensive, fresh seafood on South Beach
My Ceviche dishes out inexpensive, fresh seafood on South Beach
My Ceviche
235 Washington Ave, Miami Beach
The goods: Chef Samuel Gorenstein (BLT Steak) teams up with Roger Duarte (George Stone Crabs) in this fast-casual ceviche joint, dishing out fresh, local fi sh filleted on-site.
Ambience: The 240-square-foot South of Fifth space is essentially a takeout counter that provides local delivery for $2.50 (even to the beach).
The grub: Peruvian-inspired raw fish plus Mexican dishes. Prices are moderate — ceviche $11.75-$14.75, fish tacos (pictured) $3.50 and seafood burritos $10.
Ceviche — available in six styles including coconut, aji amarillo and Asian — comes with a side of popcorn, a wedge of boiled sweet potato and a hunk of corn on the cob. Massive burritos are built from fresh corn, baby tomatoes and sticky jasmine rice with creamy sauce on the side. Salads include tomato and avocado, chopped and mango slaw. Guacamole with chips, crispy plantains, creamy barbecue corn and frozen Paulina's Pops are among the other offerings.
Verdict: An upscale chef presents fresh, affordable seafood in a tiny takeout spot.

However some job descriptions tend to be a bit more demanding than others. And if the returns are not that high, then you might want to start rethinking your profession. But before deciding to switch careers, here are the top 10 worst jobs in the world. After all, you would not want to end up in a more dismal situation than you already are in:

In case you're not familiar, pretty much every craptastically popular reality show or game show has a version in pretty much every Western nation with a halfway decent TV market. Hence, Swedish Idol. Is it any better or worse than American Idol? Well, it would be a true challenge to be worse. And, when you invite Ariana Grande across the pond to special guest, it's probably a whole lot better.
Ariana Grande has somewhat perfected the leggy not much covered leotard performance look. Kind of like Miley, but less directly crotch raunchy and fluorescent. More like an old school torch singer if she could get away with wearing so few clothes on stage without being arrested. Whatever Ariana Grande does to keep that perfect little shape of hers, it's working. Maybe it's eating salted fish, which she's stocking up on while in Sweden. But I bet it's something more organic and yoga. All the kids are doing it. Ariana, in any language, you and your minxy female form float my Swedish gummies. Enjoy.

Help translating this paragraph: doubts about 「への」and「と共に」forms, and structure of a sentence beggining with 「これ」?
I'm generally pretty strict on these kinds of questions, but considering that this particular block of text is kind of dense and hard to understand, I'll offer some help in parsing it. I'll break it apart bit by bit. ポーランドのプロニスクで生まれ Born in ~ Poland パレスチナ移住後はユダヤ系住民のイギリス軍への参加を呼びかけると共に After emigrating to Palestine, he called for all Jewish ...
Probably, you recognise each of the words "[顔]{かお}" and "[表]{あらわ}す", don't you? "顔に表す" is a phrase which means that someone shows his feelings on his face obviously. So, this sentence denotes, "The speaker never fails to show his sarcasm on his face."
Think of this か as a の that is nominalizing a question. デパートはどこにあるか、知{し}っていますか? Do you know where is the department store? In spoken casual conversation I've heard native speakers drop the か and communicate just as effectively, but I would recommend always using か.
どこの会議室か知りません。 Literally means "I don't know which meeting room it is." Do you know what kind of meeting room (that is)? Would literally be (それが)どんな会議室か知っていますか。
As a whole sentence, 「士郎の理想、英雄となった姿」 is the long subject phrase. If I have to narrow down, 理想 and 姿 are the two parallel subjects. According to this Wikipedia article, this tweet, and this page, this question is made in a special context. Here, the speaker is talking to Archer, who is supposed to be the reincarnation of Shirou, who wanted to became a hero. ...
英雄となった姿 is followed by が which should tell you it's not that. Ex: 彼は目が青。(subj: him). Can't tell w/o some reference, but the subject is あなた. Could be Shirou, might not be.

If you've ever had a boss who has taken the blame for one of your errors, he or she may have been a servant leader. Find out in this lesson all the other characteristics of a servant leader.
Serving others takes a significant amount of self-sacrifice. Not only does it require one to consider the needs of others, but it oftentimes requires putting one's own needs on hold. The idea of philanthropy, or having a genuine concern for the advancement of others, is something that most of us have considered at some point in our lives. Anytime you thought it would be a good idea to serve food at a homeless shelter, sign up to build a house with Habitat for Humanity, donate blood, or drop off used clothes or can goods, you have the intentions of a true philanthropist. For some of us, helping the less fortunate is a way of being grateful for the gifts we have received in this life. For others, it is simply the desire to do something nice for other people. There are even some of us that do it because they believe putting the needs of others before your own is a true testament of character and a requirement of being a true leader.
The concept of servant leadership was first coined by Robert Greenleaf in 1970.
Greenleaf believed that before anyone can lead, they first need to be a servant. To be a true leader, one must ensure people's highest priority needs are being served. For Greenleaf, effective leaders do not lead by power, coercion, or control - rather they lead through service to those whom they influence by embracing a high level of moral responsibility.
The servant leader continually strives to help subordinates reach their personal best by supporting, inspiring, and celebrating their development. However, subordinates are not the only people the servant leader is concerned with; in fact, the needs of customers, peer employees, and the community are also considered.
While any smart businessperson knows the importance of taking care of customers, providing employees with the tools they need to do their jobs, and having a high level of social responsibility, a servant leader has a genuine concern for those with whom they work and provides products or services above the status quo. The focus of the servant leader is on the growth, development, and advancement of others, not personal gain, power, money, or status.
The servant leader is like having all of the resources, knowledge, and authority you need to be successful.
To many of us, the idea of having a servant leader probably sounds a lot like winning the lottery. Besides, who would'nt want a boss who cares more about you than themselves?
Just imagine for a second what it would be like to be lead by someone who:

Servant leaders make sure everyone gets a fair shake in life and is open with their communication, decisions, ideas, and problems - no matter how challenging that may be for them. They work hard and push others to do the same. While your boss might have some of these characteristics, a true servant leader is all of these things at all times. Just imagine how nice that would be to have someone like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, Mother Theresa, or Cesar Chavez as your leader, and you can begin to see what a true servant leader is all about.
Let's review. Robert Greenleaf created the concept of servant leadership in 1970. Greenleaf believed that before anyone can lead, they first need to be a servant. According to Greenleaf, to be a true leader one must ensure the highest priority needs of employees, customers, and the community are being served. As a true philanthropist, the servant leader is focused on the growth, development, and advancement of others and not personal gain, power, money, or status.
The servant leader takes the time to listen to others, takes blame for failure, shares credit for successes, gets to know personal goals of others, works to inspire the personal best in others, is open and translucent in their communication, and makes decisions for the better good instead of their own selfish motivations making sure everyone gets a fair shake in life. Famous examples of servant leaders include: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, Mother Theresa, and Cesar Chavez.

The Cricinfo Awards comprise two unique sets of awards - one subjective, voted on by a jury, the other based on numbers. We announced the nominees in December 2007. Now the votes have been counted and the numbers crunched and it's time for the winners.
The Jury Awards pay tribute to the best individual performances in the three international forms of the game during the calendar year 2007. The winners, picked by Cricinfo's expert panel - comprising some of the world's most discerning observers of the game - from a shortlist compiled by the site's staff, are now out. Use the links below to find out more.
The other part, the Statsguru Awards, is based on hard data. Cricinfo records data on 16 parameters for each ball bowled in international cricket. We can tell you who has been the most consistent batsman of the year, who has scored the greatest percentage of runs in boundaries, who has bowled the most dot-balls, and more. The awards in this category are also out, below.
We invited readers to vote on the Jury Awards shortlists. The results are here

|Statsguru Awards
Going beyond the usual look at the most runs scored, wickets taken, or batting average, the Statsguru Awards are the result of detailed data analyses of performances in 2007.
Which batsman played more consistently than any other over the entire year? Which bowler performed at his best against top-order batsmen? Who relished tail-end wickets the most? Cricinfo's ball-by-ball data analysis of every international game has answers to these queries and more. The Statsguru Awards are based on these stats. The results originate from quantitative analyses of performance throughout the year, which makes these awards definitive and distinctive.

The cricket world reacts to the passing away of Phillip Hughes
Phillip Hughes: Country kid who moved a nation
Likeable, hard-working and skilful, it was a matter of time before Phillip Hughes cemented his spot in the Australian Test team. Then, improbably and inconsolably, his time ran out
Hope for Hughes, feel for Abbott
It is impossible to imagine how Sean Abbott must feel after sending down that bouncer to Phillip Hughes. While the cricket world hopes for Hughes' recovery, it should also ensure Abbott is supported

You forget, as it appears most politicians and most people today also forget, that one of our founding documents does in fact recognize God explicitly.
The Constitution was written by Deists, not Catholics, or Protestants, and the god they mentioned, and this only in the Declaration of Independence, was Locke's "god of nature." They did not want the Republic to profess the Christian religion, where it would profess the Trinity and declare Jesus Christ to be the King of this nation, or any religion at all.
There was a group, the National Reform Association, that lamented the Deistic Constitution that made the U.S. entirely unconfessional, and from reviewing the history and the frank admissions of the Founders that the nation was founded on godless Enlightenment and not Protestant Christian principles. The National Reform Association saw this fact as the key flaw to the Constitution that lead to the War Between the States.
One such admission by the generation of the Founders lies in the declaration of the U.S. Senate in Article XI of the Treaty of Tripoli, approved by John Adams on June 10, 1797, that:
As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion, as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility of Mussulmen (Moslems) ... it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
The National Reform Association sought to add an amendment to the Preamble of the Constitution confessing Christ the King of the nations. Their proposed rewrite went as follows:
"We the People of the United States, [humbly acknowledging Almighty God as the source of all authority and power in civil government, the Lord Jesus Christ as the Ruler among the nations, His revealed will as the supreme law of the land, in order to constitute a Christian government, and] in order to form a more perfect union..."[Proceedings of the NRA, 1872]
This was tabled by Congress in 1874. In the report of the House Judiciary Committee that rejected this out of hand on February 18, 1874, it was declared that, after due examination of the record of the debates at the Constitutional Convention, it was revealed that:
The fathers of the Republic in the convention which framed the Constitution...decided that this country, the foundation of whose government they were laying, was to be the home of the oppressed of all the nations of the Earth, whether Christian or Pagan, and in full realization of the dangers which the union between Church and state had imposed upon so many nations of the Old World, [decided] with great unanimity that it was inexpedient to put anything in the Constitution or frame of government which might be construed to be a reference to any religious creed or doctrine.["House Reports," Vol I, 43rd Congress, 1st Session, Report No. 143, cited in Liberty, the God that Failed, C. Ferrara]

Katie Roiphe…this comprehensive record of American women's attempts at literary achievement holds its own fascination; the small, vivid portraits of women's lives are extremely readable and enlightening…A Jury of Her Peers is likely to become an important and valuable resource for anyone interested in women's history.

Notorious Alaska fish pirate Arne Fuglvog doesn't appear to have cast much of a shadow. Not a year has passed since the man once close to taking the job as the nation's top fisheries manager went to jail for his illegal fishing, and his cronies in the 49th state are lining up in to try to block federal rules aimed at more closely monitoring commercial fisheries that work the empty ocean off the wild coast of the 49th state.
The Petersburg Vessel Owners Association, of which Fuglvog was once president; the Alaska Longline Fishermen's Association; the Alaska Trollers Association; the North Pacific Fishermen's Association; Southeast Alaska Fishermen's Alliance; United Cook Inlet Drift Association; the United Fishermen's Marketing Association; and a bunch of others say federal plans to put fishery observers on some of the small boats working the high seas off Alaska are onerous.
"I'd have thought this whole Arne Fuglvog thing would have highlighted this (illegal fishing), and sort of been in their face like this could be a problem," said Elizabeth Mitchell of the Association for Professional Observers. But apparently not.

NEW YORK (AP) - A series of weak reports on the U.S. economy is sending the stock market sharply lower.
The Dow Jones industrial average plunged 217 points, its biggest drop in six weeks, to close at 14,960 Wednesday, a loss of 1.4 percent.
It's the first time the Dow has closed below 15,000 in a month. Intel led the Dow lower.
Several reports suggested the economy is slowing, including weakness in hiring at private companies, a drop in mortgage applications and sluggish service-sector job growth.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 22 points, or 1.4 percent, to 1,608.
The Nasdaq fell 43 points to 3,401, a loss of 1.3 percent.
Five stocks fell for every one that rose on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was average, 3.6 billion shares.

Supplements: Try and get down 1 litre of water on waking. Fish oil, multi-vit, whey, creatine, vitamin d, magnesium, metamucil.
Program: follow the Greyskull LP for 1 year and milk every drop out of linear progression, and then some. The lifts I'm shooting for are kinda high but trying to reach it will keep me inspired and focused. I think it is attainable however given my upper body strength. Once I get form down and develop my back and postierior I think the lifts I'm having trouble with now will take off.
Plan to do kettlebell swings after lifting for conditioning and a light jog with hill sprints on Saturdays. Also going to Judo and boxing classes as time permits. Finally, I*plan to do mobility work before and stretching after workouts as religiously as I do the lifts.
Experience: 2 months on the Greyskull LP and I am only now learning to squat and deadlift properly. Over coming flexibility and a major imbalance in glutes/hamstrings that has my squat/deadlift ridiculously light.
Aspiration: Since I started I have become addicted to putting weight on the bar. I would eventually like to get into powerlifting competition on a small scale. I also want to get into "fighting shape" for Judo competition at and life in general.
I will be weighing in and taking pics once a month to gauge progress, will post them at end of the year.
Any insights or comments as I go are appreciated.
Let's do this!
