You can listen to Jerry Sandusky's statement online, by clicking here.
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) - Jerry Sandusky says he's innocent and vows to keep fighting in a recorded statement broadcast by a student-run radio station at Penn State.
The statement was aired Monday, a day before the former assistant football coach was scheduled to be sentenced on 45 counts of child sexual abuse.
Sandusky's sentencing is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. Eastern Tuesday morning.
One of his lawyers says he would stake his life on the legitimacy of the statement.
In it, Sandusky says that in his heart, he knows he didn't do what he calls "these alleged disgusting acts." He says he's the victim of Penn State, investigators, civil attorneys, the media and others.
Mike Fliegelman, student general manager of Penn State Com Radio, says the statement was recorded at the county jail in Bellefonte.
Defense attorney Karl Rominger initially said he wasn't aware of the recording. Early Tuesday he confirmed to The Associated Press that it was authentic.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Will the allure of a $5 million reward be the downfall of a tweeting, rapping American jihadi who once fought alongside the Somali militant group al-Shabab but now denounces their methods and motivations in online feuds?
A U.S. State Department official said Thursday that the $5 million reward offered for Omar Hammami could exploit what are believed to be fault lines between Somali groups that may be for and against Hammami. The Alabama-born American was once high in the ranks of al-Shababab but has since had a falling out with the group's leader.
The U.S. announced on Wednesday the $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Hammami and another $5 million reward for a second American fighting in Somalia, Jehad Mostafa.

Jason Stork aka Mountainous
Email sent to Jason Stork:
Dear Mr. Stork,
I make contact with you today to touch base with hope that youll communicate with me with regards to matters relating to your YouTube internet presence, your interest in Ninjutsu and Military weapons and tactics.
Im a contributor to an online martial arts consumer advocacy website www.bullshido.net You may or may not be aware that Mr. Ralph Severe was recently investigated resulting in a formal review and write-up of the investigations findings.
It is felt that you have obtained your Black Belt in Ninjutsu via an online/DVD course without the benefit of formal direct instruction from a recognised or respected instructor, indeed it is also understood that you now hold a black belt from Mr. Severes own academy whilst it doesnt appear that youve undertaken (much if any) formal instruction to obtain that grade.
It is also noted from your videos on YouTube that you are presenting skill-set based material.
I wonder Mr. Stork if youd care to comment on the above? Ive taken the liberty of starting a discussion thread which can be found here : http://www.bullshido.net/forums/show...38#post2336838
You will note this email has been reproduced there and I hope youll seriously consider offering your perspective to the issues Ive highlighted in this short email.
In the interests of transparency I will be happy to continue this dialogue through the website rather than via email.
Thank you for your time

Why are you even bothering with this guy, is he selling something? Let him hang out in his Budo room, he's really psyched about it.Secret moves such as hitting a thing with your hand and hitting a thing with your leg have been stolen and degenerated by arts like karate, boxing, muay-thai, Kung-fu, and basketball. -Epicurious

The difference between Choson ninja and Mountainous is that one is using youtube to teach questionable technique and one is just having fun larping.
Mountainous IMO seem aware that he is larping, maybe he is like Phil Elmore with the "raised eyebrow" whom a lot of people did not realize that they know they are larping and quietly laughing at people that did not realize that.
I **** YOU NOT PEOPLE - This thread is NOT going to go in the direction of the YMAS thread.
If you don't have contributory content STOP POSTING.

I've previously invited him to contribute to the Severe discussion. Twice. I posted my invite on his Youtube page. No answer & my post never appeared. I've read elsewhere that he just deletes the many comments he doesn't like. Don't get your hopes up that he'll show.
There was a friend of his that posted in his defense on a previous thread. I'll see if I can run him down.

Medical Pharmacology
7 cr
This course is designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of the actions of drugs and their clinical uses. Basic principles, including dose-response relationships and receptor theory, are emphasized. Current concepts of drug effects, mechanisms, and sites of action are explored in detail with respect to major classes of drugs. Important considerations are also given to drug interactions and the toxicology of therapeutic agents, chemicals in the environment, and other biologically active substances.
Literature Reports
1 cr
Students and faculty participate in a supervised reading of the current literature and meet periodically (usually once a week) to interact in a discussion of the selected article or topic. The goal of this course is to maintain the faculty's and students' level of information at a "state of the art" in both methods and theory in the discipline and to develop critical skills in reviewing the literature.
Directed Studies
1-6 cr
Students participate in research under the direction of a graduate faculty member. The student may pursue independent research or participate in a literature project.
Physiological Pharmacology
6 cr
This course covers both cellular and organ system physiology. It is designed to prepare graduate students for Medical Pharmacology (PHA 540), for research in pharmacology, and includes reading and discussion of articles from the literature.
Special Topics
1-3 cr
Each course provides in-depth tutorial exposure to specific areas in the discipline. Student and/or faculty presentations followed by group discussions (usually in the Socratic mode), examine the subject matter in an area of current interest either to one student or to a group of students. Credits and titles are arranged with an individual faculty member.
Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology
3 cr
In this course, the central themes of signal transduction from cellular receptor to amplified response, structure-activity relationships, and drug design are studied comprehensively. Specific topics include receptor-ligand interactions, receptor structure and coupling mechanisms, the biochemical and molecular aspects of G-proteins, protein phosphorylation mechanisms, molecular modeling and protein crystallography. Prerequisites: Biochemistry.
Molecular and Cellular Toxicology
3 cr
This course is concerned with the mechanisms by which toxic substances exert their effects at the molecular and cellular level. Detailed analysis of the processes by which toxic materials are metabolized to toxic intermediates is addressed. The mode of action of how toxic compounds interact with structural proteins and other macromolecules, enzymes and receptors, and the genome is included. Examples of toxicity of the heart, liver, lung, pancreas, and brain, including teratogenic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic effects are discussed at the mechanistic level. Prerequisites: Biochemistry.
Research Seminar
1 cr
Students and faculty present a research topic for discussion before members of the department. The presentations are usually scheduled on a rotational basis. The student may present research data for critique by the faculty.

Soul plane holidays
And I grew strong
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that
sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second you'd
back to bother me

Take the bus
A guaranteed way to alleviate the annoying, dangerous traffic lines at Chukker Creek and any other school is to suggest that parents have their children take the bus to school. Taxpayers are spending a fortune for these busses and they're not being used. The kids might even begin to develop the social skills they'll need in the real world when they grow up.
Going home
I agree with the person who wrote that there is a big difference in Bush going to his ranch in Texas and Obama going to Hawaii. Bush lived on the ranch. He did not have to pay the exorbitant charges for hotel rooms and transportation around the islands. For those of you who keep making excuses about Obama, why don't you ask why he would not go to his home in Chicago for Christmas and other holidays? I would love to hear the answer, but then, I think I know the reason. Has Obama even gone to his home there since he became president?
As a resident of The Ridge at Chukker Creek, I wholeheartedly agree that something has to be done about the traffic situation. I believe increasing the turning lane will help alleviate the backup, but only if they allow through traffic for residents and emergency vehicles. Currently, the school blocks the through traffic lane in an unsafe manner that does not comply with federal traffic codes. According to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, the personnel putting out the cones must wear high-visibility clothing and the cones they are using must be high-visibility orange with white reflective strips because they are used before dawn. Almost every morning as I leave for work, I pass the perilous situation where I cannot see the worker, usually in dark clothing, or the cones that are dark green.
Litter blight
The "unattractive" chain link fence on the new bridge is the least of our concern. Don't you see what an eyesore all the litter is that is strewn over all the streets? Maybe spend some time thinking about how we as South Carolina residents can bring the pride back to the Palmetto State and help to be part of the solution to this unsightly problem instead of ignoring it and contributing to it. Report litter bugs, volunteer to pick up in front of your homes and in front of businesses. This is the embarrassment, not a new, safe concrete bridge.

Neighbors appeal seven-bed psychiatric facilityBy David Taube
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | November 19,2012MIDDLESEX — The basis of an environmental court appeal by neighbors of a proposed seven-bed psychiatric facility relates to town land-use regulations, and state officials plan to discuss the issue Tuesday.
State Mental Health Department administrators say the facility will help bring relief to overburdened emergency rooms. Since flooding from Tropical Storm Irene closed the Vermont State Hospital, hospitals have been acting more and more as buffers for involuntary psychiatric patients before patients can get beds at residential facilities.
"In terms of freeing up acute hospital beds, if even one person were even able to be out of that bed — one person moving out means that multiple people can then be served in acute care," said Frank Reed, a Mental Health Department administrator. "The same (goes) with emergency departments."
A family whose backyard and house are next to the proposed site filed a notice of appeal, but the couple and their lawyer had declined to provide the legal grounds for their case. In a public hearing, one member of the couple, Brian Hannon, said his property value could be affected, among other issues, but paperwork filed last week didn't make that case.
Court papers filed Thursday showed the basis of the couple's appeal relies on land use technicalities. Issues range from noise and parking to whether the facility conforms to the town plan and the building size complies with the regulations.
Assistant Attorney General Gavin Boyles said that document, called a statement of questions, limits the scope of the appeal, so additional concerns could not be raised later.
The state believes it will prevail, but officials have expressed concerns over the delay. The state has indicated a willingness to get the case expedited, but that has not been requested.
"The state is still weighing its options as far as how to move forward," Boyles said.
Boyles said a phone conference also has yet to be scheduled. A settlement has not been ruled out, he said.
Dave Burley, an administrator with the Buildings and General Services Department who testified at the Middlesex zoning board hearing on the project this fall, said Monday there was no restriction on the size of the building given the project.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The 22 water systems in Vermont that draw from Lake Champlain are participating in a...

MRVTV salvaged some archival material but lost most of its equipment in the flood. The studio took a temporary space next to the former Blue Toad in the Village Square Shopping Center and then took the Blue Toad space, completing renovations this summer. The station will host a Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce mixer celebrating the new space this Thursday, August 23, from 5 to 7 p.m.
CatamountBuilding rebuilt, MRVTV in new space
The red Catamount building that adjoins the Waitsfield Hotel in the Bridge Street Marketplace took on almost five feet of water during Tropical Storm Irene. The flood completely destroyed the studios and offices of Mad River Valley TV, The Valley's public access television channel.
The flooding also damaged papers and computers of the Architectural Association that shared space with MRVTV.
Craig Goss and Janice Kenyon own the building and dove right in after the flood with cleanup and rebuilding.
"While we still have some empty space, we were one of the first businesses/buildings to complete a full restoration, thanks to my neighbor Chris Welsch who drove the whole effort and thanks to all the volunteer efforts in The Valley. The volunteers were absolutely incredible and helped us get back on our feet in the first month or so. We were back in operation by January," Goss said.
The ground-level floor, which now houses the architects and used to house MRVTV, was completely gutted and rebuilt. Goss said they were fairly well covered in terms of insurance but received less coverage for a portion of the ground floor that requires stepping down a few steps.
Goss said that the support of the community and the Mad River Valley Community Fund were incredibly important in the recovery efforts.
"I believe the feeling of 'we're all in this together' has been there all along in our community. The community support was unbelievable for us and for everyone in the marketplace. No one enjoyed the flood, but overall we're feeling fine. We'll be fine," Goss said.

SOIC/Region 6 Regional Prevention Coordinators, Choctaw County Coalition and Pushmataha County Coalition would like to encourage community members to observe Alcohol Awareness Month to help prevent alcohol abuse in our community. This is an opportunity to help raise awareness of the dangers of alcohol dependence and encourage people to make healthy and safe choices when it comes to alcohol. Alcohol is the fourth leading cause of death among people ages 10 to 24, as reported by SAMSHA.
Underage drinking facts: Vehicle Accidents are the # 1 killer of teens and young adults 16-25 years of age; Alcohol is the number one drug of choice for America's young people, more than tobacco or illicit drugs; and those that begin drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcoholism than those who begin at age 21.
"During Alcohol Awareness Month we want to draw attention to the dangers related to alcohol abuse and underage drinking and connect our youth and adults with resources that can help them," said Amber Kent, Regional Prevention Coordinator for the Regional Prevention Coordinators.
Several Events are planned to be held in the community recognizing this annual event and to assist in educating residents on ways to keep their communities safe.
Southeastern Oklahoma Interlocal Cooperative (SOIC), Region 6 Regional Prevention Coordinators (RPC) is hosting (RBSS), Responsible Beverage Service and Sales Training for Retailers, Community Members, and Law Enforcement in Choctaw and Pushmataha Counties. The training is free of charge and will educate Retailers and Law Enforcement on Understanding legal and social responsibility related to serving and selling alcohol, identifying common signs that signal an underage ID and recognizing the signs of intoxication.
The RBSS training will be held in Hugo at the Kiamichi Technology Center on Thursday April 5, 2012, from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. The Regional Prevention Coordinators will also be conducting county wide compliance checks, along with local law enforcement and community partners.
A town hall meeting is scheduled to take place in Pushmataha County on Thursday, April 12, 2012 from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at Molina's Mexican Restaurant (located at 209 E. Main) in Antlers. The Town Hall Meeting topic will be "Addressing Underage Drinking and Statewide Social Host Law."
There will also be a town hall meeting in Choctaw County on Thursday, April 26, 2012 from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. The location of the meeting is to be announced at a later date. The topic for this meeting will also be "Addressing Underage Drinking and Statewide Social Host Law."
For more information please contact Robbie Mullens or Amber Kent at 580-286-3344.

Back in the 1950s, Little Joe Cartwright starred in a movie called I Was a Teenage Werewolf. Thats right, after seeing a full moon, Michael Landon ran around a public high school foaming at the mouth and pretty much out of control. Since there was little difference between his behavior and that of the normal students, he got away with it for two semesters.
As I watched the film, I remember thinking that it was going to be tough for Landon to get into college with that on his resume. But then the 1960s happened, so that was that.
This brings me to the present. My life these days is largely confronting political and social madness on television and then going home to deal with teenage drama from an almost-14-year-old girl. I vaguely remember being 14, because I was ensconced in a Catholic high school that gave out homework assignments like they were M&Ms.
Believe me, I had plenty of angst. But nobody paid much attention to it.
Like today, many teenagers back then brooded full time. Check out James Dean, an outstandingly cloudy guy. But now teens have two things that embolden their disenchantment: the Internet and permissive parents.
Earlier this week, I was encouraging my urchins to speed it up because the bus was coming.
I cant go faster cause youre staring at me, the teen wailed.
Im not staring at you. I just came into the room.
But I can see you!
You get the idea. My daughter also did not want to wear anything that covered her legs -- even though it was 39 degrees outside. She wanted to wear shorts. At that point, I started wishing shed turn into a werewolf. At least the fur would keep her warm.
But it is the Internet that is truly changing the teenage dynamic in America.
It used to be that teenagers would hang out together and swap stories of woe. I remember seeing Billy Joel and his crew at stores on Levittown Parkway. They were just slouching around the same as my guys were. Just being with other teenagers was comforting, but we actually had to leave our houses to do that. Now, teens can gang-brood from their rooms on the Net.
Because nearly every awful occurrence is highlighted on various Facebook pages, teenagers now find it easier to justify their own craziness. How can you criticize me for getting a C when Shelley got all Fs and crashed her dads car? That kind of thing.
Nothing is private anymore. Teenagers are subjected to (and some participate in) incredibly destructive behavior online.
And parents have few options.
Even if you ban home computers, hand-held devices are all over the place. Youd have to put a full-time bodyguard on the child in order to provide complete protection.
In the end, all parents can do is try their best to impose a sense of responsibility on their kids. But dont expect any appreciation, and be watchful at all times. Kids today are growing up at warp speed; the machines march them into adulthood way before theyre ready.
Even with fangs, Landon had it easier.

I recently signed up for Babycenter's e-mail Pregnancy Bulletins. After receiving one titled "Moms confess: 'What I wish I'd known about pregnancy,'†I realized that the Bulletins would be a great opportunity for increasing awareness about preeclampsia, particularly if Babycenter would be willing to send out one or two Bulletins each year specifically alerting expectant women to the warning signs.
We can't approach Babycenter on behalf of the PF, but we *can* approach them as individual users of the website, and I received permission to post this advocacy project on the forums. Below is a sample letter I'm sending to Babycenter via both U.S. mail and through their website form (no e-mail address & didn't receive a response to my question submitted through the web form, so I'm sending a hard copy to make sure my letter is seen/read!). The letter should fit on 1 page in Word with 1 inch margins. Per discussions with Kara, let's set a tentative deadline for sending our letters, so that Babycenter receives them all at once. If you can, please mail yours by January 15. [EDIT: new suggested deadline February 1... it's not too late!]
Also, when you send your letter, if you would reply to this thread, we can see how many have participated. Please remember to write on your own behalf and not on behalf of the PF, and please feel free to copy/paste & use part or all of the letter below!
Babycenter address: 163 Freelon Street, San Francisco, CA 94107
(per phone call to their business office, I'm addressing mine to: Babycenter, Attn: Scott Adler, Managing Editor)
Web form: http://www.babycenter.com/help-contactus (although I didn't receive a response to my question submitted via the form)
- - - - -
Dear Babycenter.com,
I enjoy the Babycenter website, [could describe personal use of site: i.e., for me, "and have used it frequently during both my first and current pregnancies"]. I have been especially glad to receive the tips and facts in the Pregnancy Bulletin e-mails, and would like to make a request/suggestion for making the Bulletins even more helpful to Babycenter members.
As you know, preeclampsia continues to be a serious risk for both mothers and babies: the disease affects 1 in 12 pregnancies, is the leading known cause of premature birth, and kills 500,000 babies each year. Twenty-five percent of cases are categorized as severe, and preeclampsia can quickly progress to seizures, stroke, and major organ failure. Since a cure has not yet been found, early detection and treatment is essential to maximizing the chances of survival for babies and mothers. All too often, unfortunately, the early signs of preeclampsia are mistaken for normal pregnancy symptoms, delaying treatment and putting additional lives at risk. If expectant mothers can be alerted to the warning signs of preeclampsia during their pregnancies, particularly during first pregnancies, it can literally save their lives.
Would Babycenter consider sending out a Pregnancy Bulletin specifically devoted to the warning signs of preeclampsia, to help alert women to the symptoms they need to know? If preeclampsia could be the focus of just one or two Bulletins each year, each expectant Babycenter member would know information she may need to communicate to her doctor – information that could save her life or the life of her baby.
[One or two sentences summarizing personal experience with preeclampsia: mine is, "My son and I are both survivors of preeclampsia, and my son was born four weeks premature. We are both healthy today, but many mothers and babies are not so fortunate."] All mothers and babies deserve a fighting chance against preeclampsia – please address preeclampsia in the Babycenter Pregnancy Bulletins, and give Babycenter members that chance!
Babycenter member [since _date_, if applicable; mine is "since 2002"]
[contact info]
Additional information about the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia can be found at http://www.preeclampsia.org/symptoms.asp, or at http://www.preeclampsia.org/pdf/hbpenglish.pdf

Thank you in advance to everyone who participates!
- - - - -
Nicole (misscoleyp) received a response to her letter!
There are more than 1,500 severe preeclampsia cases each week, and unfortunately, more than 2 of those mothers die each week because of preeclampsia. Worldwide estimates suggest that 76,000 women and 500,000 babies die annually because of preeclampsia. My son was one of them.
Please visit..... Cooper's Story and the Preeclampsia Foundation
Response from BabyCenter's senior editor:
Thank you so much for your letter about the dangers of preeclampsia and for sharing your personal story.
I was so sorry to hear how this disease affected you and your baby. And I agree that we here at BabyCenter need to help get the word out to expecting moms.
Currently, we highlight the risks and warning signs of preeclampsia regularly in our "My Pregnancy This Week†e-mail for third-trimester moms. Preeclampsia is a topic in the e-mails for weeks 23, 25, 26, 27, 35, 37, 38, and 40.
But you're right, we also need to feature this information regularly in our Pregnancy Bulletin e-mail.
I'll be taking steps to do this. We started this month by putting our article on preeclampsia (http://www.babycenter.com/0_preeclampsia_257.bc) in the spotlight area (or the top, right-hand side) of our February 23 Pregnancy Bulletin (see attached). We'll also feature this topic in our upcoming Pregnancy Bulletin on "7 pregnancy complications to watch out for,†which links to this story:
And I plan to highlight this important information through other e-mail placements and on our site throughout the year.
Thank you for being part of BabyCenter and more important, thank you again for sharing your stories. You're helping to make BabyCenter better for all our moms, and we appreciate that so much.
All the best to you and your families.
Thank you so much to Nicole and to everyone who participated and sent letters. You all made a difference!

Vt. soldier's widow takes on PTSD causeThe Associated Press | May 15,2014
At left, Amy Miner of Essex shows an April 2013 photo of herself and husband Kryn Miner, an Army veteran who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder before he was killed in a shooting last month. At right, Kryn Miner is shown in Afghanistan in 2010.Amy Miner says her late husbands fight did not end when he left the war.
As with many veterans, Kryn Miners battle against the emotional scars of a long military career was just beginning when he returned home.
It ended last month when the Essex man was shot to death by one of their four children after he threatened to kill the family.
His 39-year-old widow has vowed to bring attention to the need for better treatment for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.
The truth of the matter is if we cant take care of our veterans we shouldnt be sending them off to war, Amy Miner said in an interview with The Associated Press. It doesnt make sense, because theyre coming back and this is the result and its happening more and more.
A young Army veteran at age 44, Kryn Miner was a loving father and husband, a dedicated career soldier, the guy who would walk into a room and make immediate friends, his wife said.
But after 11 deployments in seven years, he became troubled. His behavior changed noticeably after he was thrown into a wall by a blast in Afghanistan in 2010, one of 19 blasts in his 25-year career, his widow said.
Suffering from PTSD and traumatic brain injury, he tried to take his own life in September, she said.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs says about 15 percent of veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from PTSD. The disorder is treatable and many soldiers diagnosed with it are successful and function well, according to Army Medical Command spokeswoman Maria Tolleson.
But PTSD also affects entire families dealing with a loved one who can become isolated, anxious or act out due to anger or depression.
Dr. Thomas Simpatico, director of the division of public psychiatry at the University of Vermont, said the more families know about the disorder, the better.
If your father is all of a sudden flying off of the handle or breaking dishes, or whatever, and it happens to be after you said something, one might make the wrong conclusion that his behavior is the result of your activity, he said.
Amy Miner said the last night of her husbands life got off to an amazing start. They attended a wedding in Vermont with two of their four children, dancing and celebrating with good friends.
But afterward things went wrong. Kryn Miner became verbally abusive toward his wife on the ride home and began to hit himself. Prosecutors say he threatened to kill his family, assaulted his wife, and then threw a loaded handgun to their teenage child who came to her aid.
Do you want to play the gun game? the sniper-qualified Miner asked the teen, according to authorities. The teen fired six shots when Miner pulled another gun from a bag, police said.
Prosecutors ruled the April 26 shooting justified and did not bring charges against the teenager.
Miner joined the military in 1987, serving with the 82nd Airborne Division. He became a paratrooper, ranger and sniper, jumping into Panama and serving in the Gulf War, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Not long before his death, his typical day was filled with anxiety, anger and depression, his wife wrote at the time. He felt lost, empty, worthless and was suspicious. He felt guilty for being home while some of his comrades died or were overseas and for the distress he caused his family, she said.
He had tried therapy at a Veterans Affairs facility but often had to wait for hours to see different counselors, Amy Miner said.
He had stayed overnight at a VA hospital, but doctors told him it wasnt the place for him. He had gotten into another treatment program unrelated to the VA and learned how to cope with some of the depression and anxiety, but the program didnt deal with PTSD.
Eventually, he turned to the Lone Survivors Foundation, which helps wounded veterans return to civilian life, offering retreats to service members diagnosed with combat-related PTSD and their families.
He was deeply committed to the notion that our nations veterans have access to the peer support network and resources they need to manage the impact of their time in the service, said Beau Teal, owner of CrossFit Burlington, where Miner was a trainer.
Miner also developed a workout for veterans battling emotional wounds, designing it to take 32 minutes as a way to remember the 32 veterans who either try to or actually do commit suicide every day, Amy Miner said.
His new mission was getting help for others suffering from PTSD, making a Chicago TV appearance to speak about the Lone Survivors Foundation and telling his story at a gala to raise money.
After his life ended, Amy Miner committed herself to continue his work.
He was and still is my everything, she said. I promised him I would never give up on him.MORE IN Vermont NewsBURLINGTON The Vermont Health Department has put out a warning about the wild parsnip, a common...

The NRA's trying a 'bait and switch'
Just when we thought the National Rifle Association was beginning to come out of the shadows, they showed their reprehensible intentions. Ultimately, the NRA is the business generator for the weapons and ammunition industries. The current bait-and-switch escapade demonstrates this. The "bait" part is the unspoken acceptance of a gun control bill developed by a bipartisan senate coalition. There was an indication the NRA would back off grading the votes on such a bill provided it excluded a ban on both assault weapons and large capacity ammunition magazines. This left a greatly reduced bill with only a universal background check to purchase a gun at a gun show. At-risk Republican and Democratic senators felt secure enough to garner more than 60 votes for cloture to begin debate on said bill with the assumed protection from recrimination by the NRA.
The "switch" part is the proposed NRA grading of the votes for passing the now watered down impotent "Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act". Knowing that the vote is now graded causes those at-risk senators to retreat from approving this anemic piece of legislation, insuring a win-win for the NRA. If the bill does become approved and is sent to the House for debate, a very weak bill could potentially become law, and the NRA wins. If the bill fails, the NRA also wins.
Don't get me wrong. A weak bill becoming law is better than no law. There are many aspects concerned with the need for gun safety laws, and a stronger background check is a step in the right direction. But one gets the feeling that the NRA played the government like a cheap banjo. And that is just what the NRA is all about. The fewer and weaker gun safety laws in this country assure a larger pay day for the weapons and ammunition industries.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The closings of control towers at 149 small airports, due to begin this weekend because of government-wide spending cuts, are being delayed until mid-June, federal regulators said Friday.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it needs more time to deal with legal challenges to the closures.
About 50 airport authorities and other "stakeholders" have indicated they want to fund the operations of the towers themselves rather than see them shut down, and more time will be needed to work out those plans, the agency said in a statement.
The first 24 tower closures were scheduled to begin Sunday, with the rest coming over the next few weeks. Obama administration officials have said the closures are necessary to accomplish automatic spending cuts required by Congress.
Airport operators in several states, including Florida, Illinois and Washington state, and the U.S. Contract Tower Association, which represents the companies that operate contract towers, have filed lawsuits with the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington seeking to halt the closures.
"The administration has decided to make tower closures the poster child of sequestration (automatic spending cuts)," said the group's director, J. Spencer Dickerson. "We believe there are other ways they could have skinned this cat."
Federal officials have insisted that the closures wouldn't affect safety. And there is evidence that with improving safety, some of the closures would make economic sense.
It turns out that the FAA has been using 30-year-old data on aircraft collisions to justify the cost of operating many of the control towers, even though accident rates have improved significantly over that time.
Had the FAA used more current data, it's probable that some low-traffic airport towers operated by private contractors would no longer have met the agency's criteria for funding, industry officials say. But the FAA has long been under pressure from members of Congress to open new towers at airports in their states, not to close them.
The FAA began paying contractors to staff and operate towers at a handful of small airports after President Ronald Reagan fired striking air traffic controllers in 1981. Today, there are 251 towers operated by private contractors at airports across the country at an average annual cost of more than $500,000 each.
The closure plan is unrelated to the FAA's use of obsolete safety data to justify the contract tower program.
In 1990, the FAA developed a complicated cost-benefit methodology for the tower program that relies on accident data from 1983 to 1986 to determine how many accidents would be averted and lives saved if an airport had controllers working onsite. The safety data have never been updated, despite marked improvements in accident rates.
In 1983, there were 10.7 accidents for every 100,000 departures involving small planes, business jets and other non-airline flights in the U.S., according to the National Transportation Safety Board. By 2011, the latest year for which figures are available, that rate had dropped to 6.5 accidents per 100,000 departures. The commercial airline accident rate has also dropped, and fatalities have declined even more. There have been no passenger airline fatalities in the U.S. in more than four years, the longest period without fatalities since the dawn of the jet age half a century ago.
"None of the formulas have been updated since 1990, despite a very significant change in the aviation operating environment and the general aviation and commercial accident rates," the FAA said in a statement in response to questions from The Associated Press. "The FAA is in the process of updating this policy."
Agency officials offered no explanation for the oversight.
"The FAA methodology likely overestimates present-day collisions," the Congressional Research Service said in a recent report.
Initially the cost-benefit ratios were to be recalculated every two years, but that didn't happen, said David A. Byers, an aviation professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and a consultant to the companies that operate the towers. If they were recalculated now, some airports would certainly fall below the FAA threshold for funding, he said.
Of the nation's 5,000 public airports, only about 10 percent have control towers. Those without towers generally have relatively few flights, and pilots coordinate takeoffs and landings among themselves.
Airport towers are prized by local communities as economic boosters, particularly in rural areas. Airlines are sometimes reluctant to schedule flights to airports where there are no on-site air traffic controllers.
Former Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn., a critic of the contract tower program, said he refused to allow lawmakers to insert provisions into bills requiring the FAA to pay for new control towers at airports in their districts when he was chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
"We couldn't always stop it in all instances in the appropriations process, particularly when a bill comes from the Senate and it has a designation of funding for a particular tower," Oberstar said.

Comparing iPad weather apps at a glance
18 iPad weather app current weather screens
Earlier in the week I compared the current weather screens of 27 popular iPhone weather apps, and in the spirit of equal time for expansive interfaces, here's the same thing for 18 popular iPad weather apps. The reason for the lower number is that not all of the iPhone apps had iPad versions -- Apple's own iOS weather app included! While some of the iPad versions are just bigger, others take advantage of the larger screen and broader aspect ratio to show not just bigger but more.
Like before, I used the exact same location and page, whenever possible, for each app. I paid for full versions of in-app purchases to disable ads when I could, and when it worked. If extended forecasts could be brought up on the same screen, I brought them up. I made them as comparable as possible.
Here they are, in order, from top left to bottom right, are:
- Today Weather, Check the Weather
- Weather 2x, The Weather Channel
- AccuWeather, Weather HD
- Weather Bug, Weather Live
- Dark Sky, eWeather HD
- Daily Weather HD+, Pocket Weather Australia
- Farenheit / Celsius, Thermo
- Weather+, Living Earth HD
- Magical Weather, swackett
The current weather screen isonly one aspect of a weather app, and doesn't cover features like radar, videos, etc. so as the title says, consider this only a glance at different design approaches. For more on the individual apps, check out our weather app review series.
That being said, which weather apps do you use, and are they the same ones that appeal to you most in the comparison above? Any of the weather screens attractive enough they encourage you check out an alternative app?

Comparing iPad weather apps at a glance
There is an iPhone version of Intellicast:
we don't get much variance in weather where i'm from so i've always been perplexed by the obsession with the weather apps. give me a 10 day forecast and i'm pretty good. Hell i don't really even check the weather. Most of the time i just stick my head out the front door instead. That is unless it's one of those less frequent times when we do get variance in weather.
Haze is a pretty nice minimalist weather app. Only uses your current location though.
I use Seasonality Go. I saw one of the developers other apps on MacBreak Weekly and when searching for that app, I stumbled onto this one. I like it, but it's expensive. Here's the link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/seasonality-go/id373913405?mt=8&at=10l3V...
I'm surprised you didn't include Raureif's 'Partly Cloudy'

Hi MacPherson, Are you posting this with your agreement with it or just for something for some to go through and poke holes in if they desire?Just curious since it usually is better, for me anyway, to bother with articles such as this when the poster is prepared to discuss their agreement with it. Especially so when the poster is not the original author.

I used to listen to Hanegraaff...it's frightening now to think so many take in what he says and see him as truly their "Bible Answer Man"...sad.And very good post, Martin.
Without hell the wrongs of Hitler's holocaust are never going to be righted.
Quote from: jabcat on December 27, 2008, 08:58:07 AMI used to listen to Hanegraaff...it's frightening now to think so many take in what he says and see him as truly their "Bible Answer Man"...sad.And very good post, Martin.On the plus side, I just heard him blast Mary K. Baxter apart. He also said that descriptions of hell are purely symbolic and not to be taken literally. In other words, not a torture machine, but terrible because one is removed from the presence of God. Billy Graham holds that view too. Not exactly UR, but a step up from the idea of God actually barbequing His children.
I'm on board with T.L. Osborn...but didn't Oral R. turn on Pearson when he went to his (extreme) version of UR? Maybe it's not correct, but I thought that's what I'd heard...
I don't doubt that there is a new age type of all-things-relative humanistic whatever that would fit the description of what she was talking about, but you would have just had to heard her to know what I'm talking about. She was emphatic that these were the beliefs of all universalists, etc.
I remember reading this awhile back. I, too, used to listen to the Bible Answer Man. Notice he quotes no scripture in this little articleThe first reason I believe in hell's irrevocable reality is that Christ communicated that hell was real. In fact, in the Sermon on the Mount alone He explicitly warned His followers about the dangers of hell a half a dozen or more times.Gehenna is a real place on earth, not an eternal torture chamber. Hank should know better. Jesus warned about judgment, particularly national judgment, and punishment of sin, as well as the principle of reaping what you sow. But Jesus didn't warn the masses about "hell", only the pharisees and his own disciples.Secondly, I believe that the concept of choice demands that we believe in hell. The concept of choice? What the "hell" is he talking about? Free will? People have the power to make choices, that's about it. Is our freedom of choice greater than Almighty God's soveign will to save us? (1 Tim. 2:4)the unrighteous would be incarcerated in heaven against their wills, which would be a torture worse than hell. Imagine spending a lifetime voluntarily distancing yourself from God only in the end to find yourself involuntarily dragged into His loving presence for all eternity! incarcerated against their wills?????? and being dragged into his loving presense for all eternity. That would be soooo terrible, so much worse than burning eternally in hell!!!! Didn't Jesus promise to do just that "drag all unto me" (and I don't think they'll be kicking and screaming)forcing them to worship God against their wills."Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" Believers in ET interpret this verse to be exactly that - that God will force billions of unbelievers to confess Him as Lord, just before he casts them into the Lake-a-Fire!! :omg: common sense dictates that there must be a hell. No, common sense dictates that there will be justice, sin will be punished (or forgiven). But the idea of eternal punishment defies not only common sense, but sanity.the wrongs of Hitler's holocaust are never going to be righted. Hell won't right them either. As someone else pointed out, the doctrine of hell demands that most of Hitler's victims will be with him in hell - yeah right, that would really serve justice.without a hell there's no need for a Savior. Little needs to be said about the absurdity of suggesting that the Creator would suffer more than the cumulative sufferings of all of mankind if there's no hell to save us from.This is the stupidest pro-hell arguement I've ever heard. Can you site one single verse in the entire scripture that defines salvation as being saved from hell? Where does the Bible say that Jesus died to save us from hell?As much as we might want to think that all will be saved, I think that common sense precludes the possibility. There he's goes again with "common sense" Maybe believing all will be saved is not common sense, but if Jesus is the Savior of the World - wouldn't he at least save the world. If he is the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the whole world, then he paid an unmeasurable price to redeem the world. Will he get what he paid for? It is folks like Hank who believe Christ died in vain. That's my
The way he describes God makes HItler sound like Mother Teresa.
Quote from: Andromeda_Organa on January 03, 2009, 07:07:39 PMThe way he describes God makes HItler sound like Mother Teresa.A Turn or Burn street evangelist told me she's probably in hell too, because she's not on record as saying Jesus was her savior. Or something like that... Just for the record: Jesus is my Lord and Savior!Bill
It was such blatant slander that I wanted to go to Tulsa and slap her mouth for just a second. I mean, it was really, really bad! You couldn't ever pay me or in any other way obligate me to ever hit a woman. But just that one time, I wanted to sooooo badly, the self righteousness and the slander was so calculated; so Pharisaical on a level that I'd personally never seen before.

Dana White went full retard once again!"The Klitschko fucking fight was the most disgusting, embarrassing thing. The fact that he got paid $17 million for that fight. The first fucking punch he threw, they stand in the center of the ring, the bell rings, he throws a punch and holds him. He did it the whole fight; he should have been disqualified for that. Then, in the twelfth round, he didn't throw any punches. That's all he did the whole round (hold). That's the heavyweight champion of the fucking world. Normally, in boxing, the heavyweights, like when Tyson was in there, heavyweight matches were exciting. Who the...I don't know who wants to watch that shit. I watched it and it's literally embarrassing. It's fucking embarrassing. Those guys are an embarrassment to the sport of boxing. Vitali's the exciting one, right? I don't even, I've watched few of their fights and I get sick when I watch their fights."
"When that's your heavyweight champion, the heavyweight division is lost. I saw the Klitschko brothers in L.A one time. They are fucking monsters. They are huge. But, how are you going to fight a guy that doesn't want to fight? That guy doesn't want to fight, he wants to grab you from your head and lay on you. It's embarrassing, it's fucking disgusting. I can't believe they found someone to pay this guy $17 million dollars, it's embarrassing."
Indeed the fight with Povetkin was awful, but it looks that Dana has not seen his other fights.
The Klitschkos may not be the most exciting fighters to watch, but they are not at all a disgrace to anything. They are extremely dominant and they have plenty of KO wins.
They are very intelligent fighters with an amazing feeling of timing. It is not that they throw 6 punch combos. They basically just throw jabs and crosses and ocasionally some uppercut. That is all they throw, but they do it with a such amazing timing, that those basic punches is all what they need to beat everybody.
By Dana's logic, GSP is also an absolute disgrace to the sport of MMA.
IMO he is just jealous because of the amount of money Klistchko got.

Revenge's Nick Wechsler Weighs in on the Season 2 Deaths — Exclusive
Since the highly-anticipated premiere of Revenge Season 2 opened with a dead body underwater in the wreckage of The Amanda, we've been dying to know who is a goner come Episode 13.
And since we'll have to wait until the Jan. 6 return of our favorite shoreside drama to uncover the the identity of the body, Wetpaint Entertainment decided to ask someone directly involved — actor Nick Wechsler who plays Jack Porter on the show.
We caught up with the actor and he gave us some vague clues as to what lies ahead. Here's what he had to say:
Wetpaint Entertainment: For a season and a half your storyline has been dominated by Emily Thorne and Amanda Clarke, and now, neither one of them plays any part in your current arc. You're on your own path, you and these Ryan boys. How's that going on for you?
Nick Wechsler: They're awesome to work with. I love those guys. I actually just hung out with Kenny Ryan [JR Bourne]. That's not his real life name, but I just hung out with him last night. It's great working with them. They're talented. They're fun. They're funny as hell. But it's a different thing to play with because so much of my thing has been about pining for Emily and being kind of reluctantly involved with Amanda. But things are starting to pick up. He almost lost her and the kid is his. He's giving it the old college try with her and I think it's actually kind of working. I think he's actually starting to fall back in love with her.
And now things are fine with Amanda and the baby, we're introducing a murder mystery.
Yeah, the whole show is a murder mystery in a way. We know that someone died on a boat, on my boat.
Do you know who goes down in the boat?
Not really, actually. I genuinely still don't know. I've heard things. I have some idea, but I don't know if my ideas are accurate.
Is your inkling that it's something shocking?
It might be shocking.
Are you looking forward to the holidays?
I really am, yeah. As much as I'm deeply, deeply grateful for my job, and never want to sound like I'm not, I feel bad for Mike Kelley because the dude never gets a break. He's going to be working through his Christmas break. But I have the luxury of a break, and it's needed. I need to recharge!
Do you think Jack will did in the boat explosion? Weigh in below!

Seeing Green?: Cee Lo Accused of Sexual Assault in Los Angeles
Green, 38, told TMZ he has not been to the restaurant in three months. "Nothing ever happened there or anywhere else," said the "F— You" singer, who mentors contestants on NBC's hit show alongside Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine. A source close to Green told TMZ: "I have never seen Cee Lo act in a physical way toward anybody." No charges have been filed in the case, and it has not yet been referred to prosecutors.

yeah definitely didnt look like the same Nate that put a beatdown on Cerrone and Jim Miller.
Yeah but he usually employs the same style regardless of who he's fighting and that wasn't it but props to Bendo for basically nullifying that, im sure the eye had something to do with it but it happens
An off performance? It never happens in MMA! Only every other single sport on the face of the earth! (Not really).
Bendo had a wonderful performance himself as well, though.
On a further note, I find it quite interesting that a losing fighter can't explain what happened in a fight without it being considered an excuse, pretty amazing really.
"I got smoked in the eye so I couldn't see" Is it actually hard for anyone to believe that that punch would make it hard for Diaz to see? lol

I hope this isn't too big, because it's awesome.
normally I shy away from these type post as it is usually sour grapes or how they were injured prior to the fight but Nat told the truth here. We did not see the amazing super fight we all expected because Henderson connected with a punch early that pretty much won him the fight .A fighter that explains why he lost rather than make excuses,How can you argue with that. I hate we did not see the super fight we all were expecting but it was a great performance by Henderson and I have much more respect for Diaz now that he not only told the truth but stuck it out as well.
never argue with a fool. people listening may not know the difference.

My first ride was AIDS/LifeCycle 11 - and I rode every mile! In all honesty, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Yes, I rode training rides before, but never anything beyond 40 miles. I did teach indoor cycle classes, but those classes do not have headwinds or speeding cars around you. Going into the event I only knew a few riders, I was a newbie and I hated spandex. In the end, that week in June became one of the best weeks of my life.
I will never forget those special moments I had on that ride- burgers with the kids at Bradley, meeting some amazing friends, the candlelight vigil in Ventura, surviving day two and quadbuster, and riding into Los Angeles. Through all the laughs, the tears, the sweat, and Disney songs came this sense of accomplishment. I felt empowered, not only because I rode my bike 545 miles, but because I was doing it for such an amazing cause. I felt passion coming from a community which I am now so proud to be a part of. Most importantly the ride gave me a feeling of purpose, a purpose greater than myself, one in which stays with me to this day.Read More

Chael Sonnen surprised many by submitting Mauricio Shogun Rua at UFC Fight Night 26 on Saturday night in Boston.
Hardly anyone, however, could be counted as startled that he immediately took aim at Wanderlei Silva, calling out the former Pride FC champion following his victory.
The funny thing is, now that Sonnen has defeated Shogun, proving that he is still a fighter to be contended with at the top of either the 205-pound or 185-pound division, everyone wants to fight him.Wanderlei Silva, six feet tall and 205 pounds, boy, until I met you, I didnt know they could stack crap that high, he declared.
Wanderlei Silva, three months, you and the bad guy.
Vitor Belfort took to Twitter immediately after the fight and dissed on Sonnen for calling out Wanderlei.
A short time later, it was Lyoto Machida calling for the fight with Sonnen, while also taking a dig at Belfort.@sonnench dont run from me. Why are u asking for wand? Lets fight, tweeted Belfort, adding, Why u are asking for wand, u have to fight me. Lets do it @danawhite @lorenzofertitta
UFC president Dana White had tried to match Machida up with Belfort as the co-main event of UFC 167 in November, but he wanted the fight at middleweight, a weight where Belfort has currently declined to accept any fight outside of a title bout.Since @vitorbelfort hasnt accepted our fight, I am sure that @danawhite can match me against @sonnench, he tweeted.
Sonnen calling out Wanderlei Silva and with Belfort and Machida both calling for a fight with Sonnen only exemplifies the options that White says Sonnens victory over Shogun opens up for him.
Tonight changed a lot of things for Chael Sonnen, said White. He proved that he can beat one of the top guys in the top ten at 205 pounds. Does he want to stay there or does he want to go to 185?
There are a lot of options for Chael. He can fight at 205 or he can fight at 185. The win over Shogun puts him in a great place at 205, and it puts him in a great place at 185.
