Louis Farrakhan Says, "We need to put the American flag down. Because we've caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag"
I know this is difficult for many of you to say and admit, Rush Limbaugh was right.
It did not take Louis Farrakhan long to prove conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh correct regarding the LEFT going after the American flag next. In an interview with WMAL, Louis Farrakhan stated "We need to put the American flag down. Because we've caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag". This hateful race-baiter went on to say, "They Don't Give a Damn About Them 9.? Just days earlier Rush Limbaugh said, "And I'll make another prediction to you. The next flag that will come under assault, and it will not be long, is the American flag."
Hmm, who is spewing the hate?
Louis Farrakhan stated "We need to put the American flag down. Because we've caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag" in remarks before the Metropolitan AME Church in Washington, DC on Wednesday first reported by DC's WMAL.
Farrakhan said, "White folks march with you because they don't want you upsetting the city, they don't give a damn about them nine."
He added that when the police took suspected shooter Dylann Roof to Burger King they were saying "You did a good job. Kill all them [bleep.]"
Later, he declared, "I don't know what the hell the fight is about over the Confederate flag. We need to put the American flag down. Because we've caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag," comments that were meant with cheers and applause.
C'mon LEFT, c'mon Media Matters, c'mon race-baitors, says it … RUSH WAS RIGHT!

Whoopi Goldberg & Rosie O'Donnell Go At It Against Each Other Over Racism … "YOU ARE A WHITE LADY TELLING ME WHAT IS RACIST!"
There is nothing better than two liberals trying to out-liberal each other. Take a good watch and listen to Whoopi and Rosie go at it when it comes to racism in America. However, what might have been the best exchange was when Rosie O'Donnell tried to compare being gay to being black. Whoopi wanted no part of the comparison. Aren't liberals so tolerant?
"Listen! You are a white lady telling me what is racist to you," Goldberg said, with O'Donnell shooting back, "I am a gay American."
"It's not the same!" Goldberg said, raising her voice.
"You guys need to know what real racism is … Racism is when someone comes up and says (expletive) and die. That's racist."
Goldberg added that it was "ignorance," and not racism, that caused racial profiling, but Cox disagreed, stating that it was caused by "implicit bias."
"I've been black for 60 years," Goldberg said. "For me, stupidity, dumb folks who just say dumb stuff because they're not looking or paying attention to the person they're talking to, which is why people could walk up to Obama and not look up at him and see that it's the President."
i guess it would be astonishing for blacks and gays to hear that even white folks have been profiled, followed in stores and asked to do things as if they were the hired help.

Martin Bashir Resigns From MSNBC Following Disgusting Comments Made about Sarah Palin
HE'S OUT … Martin Bashir has resigned from MSNBC.
Another one bites the dust at MSNBC; however, this time it was a resignation. The Politico is reporting that MSNBC's Martin Bashir has resigned following the controversy and uproar started when the BSNBC host made sick and disgusting remarks toward former Alaska governor and GOP Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Bashir had been on vacation since making the offensive comments and was forced to make an apology after he called Palin on air "a world class idiot" because she made a comparison to slavery while discussing U.S. debt to China and an even more vulgar slave punishment comment after that. All that and he still was not fired by NBC.
MSNBC daytime host Martin Bashir has resigned from MSNBC following controversial remarks he made about Sarah Palin, MSNBC president Phil Griffin announced on Wednesday.
"Martin Bashir resigned today, effective immediately. I understand his decision and I thank him for three great years with MSNBC," Griffin said in a written statement. "Martin is a good man and respected colleague — we wish him only the best."
In his own statement, first published by Mediaite, Bashir announced that he had tendered his resignation following a meeting with Griffin and "further reflection" on his controversial remarks, in which he suggested that the former Alaska governor be forced to endure slavery-like conditions.
In 1756, he records that "A slave named Darby catched eating canes; had him well flogged and pickled, then made Hector, another slave, s-h-i-t in his mouth." This became known as Darby's dose, a punishment invented by Thistlewood that spoke only of the slave owners savagery and inhumanity.
When Mrs. Palin invoked slavery, she doesn't just prove her rank ignorance. She confirms that if anyone truly qualified for a dose of discipline from Thomas Thistlewood, then she would be the outstanding candidate.
It really does beg the question, how does one resign and not get fired for such offensive, planned comments made on air, unless the network agrees with the comments, but just can't take the heat? Bashir hasn't been on the air since November 22. MSNBC said he was on a pre-planned vacation, but it appears the vacation has turned into a resignation. MSNBC and parent company NBC still have literally taken no public action against Brashir for his comments. How amazing was the lack of punishment against Brashir for his vulgar comments, even Lefty Alec Baldwin had to question why he was fired and Brashir was not.
The Other McCain has other low-lights of Brashir's past comments which the suits at NBC had no issue with either. And here are some others.
Statements from Brashir and Phil Griffin:
Martin Bashir: "After making an on-air apology, I asked for permission to take some additional time out around the Thanksgiving holiday. Upon further reflection, and after meeting with the President of MSNBC, I have tendered my resignation. It is my sincere hope that all of my colleagues, at this special network, will be allowed to focus on the issues that matter without the distraction of myself or my ill-judged comments. I deeply regret what was said, will endeavor to work hard at making constructive contributions in the future and will always have a deep appreciation for our viewers – who are the smartest, most compassionate and discerning of all television audiences. I would also wish to express deepest gratitude to my immediate colleagues, and our contributors, all of whom have given so much of themselves to our broadcast."
MSNBC president Phil Griffin: "Martin Bashir resigned today, effective immediately. I understand his decision and I thank him for three great years with MSNBC. Martin is a good man and respected colleague – we wish him only the best."
Good man and respected colleague, eh?

Sarah Palin Cancels Interview With NBC's Matt Lauer In Protest of the Lack of Action Taken Against MSNBC's Martin Bashir for His "Violent & Hateful Rhetoric"
Looks like Matt Lauer will not be getting extra frequent flyer miles to Wasilla, Alaska …
Sarah Palin has canceled an upcoming interview with 'The Today Show's' Matt Lauer due to NBC's lack of taking any action against MSNBC's Martin Bashir for his vile, disgusting,"violent and hateful rhetoric". Bashir was forced to apologized to Palin and his 10 viewers Monday for his comments in which he called "totally unacceptable," when he said someone should $hit in her mouth and piss in her eyes for her comparison of slavery to the national debt. Hmm, can you really apologize from making such a comment? Palin is upset that Martin Bashir has received "ZERO" punishment from the network, not termination, not a suspension, not a slap on the wrist, nothing! Just a lame apology. If Brashir actually had the intellectual honesty and listened to Palin's comments, she is 100% correct. The out of control $17 trillion debt and climbing will put our children and grandchildren in fiscal chains.
Hmm, who is it again that has a war on women? Just curious, where is NOW? Imagine if a male on FOX News said the same about a prominent Democrat woman, think they would still have a job? Maybe if more conservatives stopped doing interviews on NBC News channels because of the insane rantings of their moonbat affiliate MSNBC, the network would actually attempt to make MSNBC actually perform in a professional manner.
It's no secret that Sarah Palin is mighty steamed at MSNBC and Martin Bashir over his despicable remarks about the abusive treatment he imagines for her.
And now she's doing something about it.
The former Alaska governor was scheduled to sit down with Matt Lauer for a Christmas season interview. That's now toast.
Palin has now canceled Lauer's scheduled trip to Wasilla, a source close to her tells me. It's not because Palin is upset with Lauer or the "Today" show, but as a protest against NBC for not taking action against Bashir. In fact, Palin once sat in as a "Today"co-host.
Tim Crawford, treasurer of Palin's political action committee, had told NBC News President Deborah Turness and MSNBC President Phil Griffin that "Americans deserve to know that your network doesn't condone violent and hateful rhetoric."
Conservative Radio host Mark Levin tears apart Brashir, his comments and MSLSD
Conservatives 4 Palin have an update that former Clinton Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers has called for NBC to get rid of Bashir.

More Race-Bait Hatred from Jesse Jackson … President Reagan was a Racist … Tea Party Seeks To "Maintain Walls" of Slavery And Segregation, America "The Land of The Free, Home of The Genocide"
Talk about irony, Jesse Jackson was introduced at McAlister Auditorium on Furman's Greenville, SC as an "international peacemaker …
Jesse Jackson so Furman students … "The U.S. south is "the land of the free, the home of genocide."
The Reverend Jesse Jackson spoke at Furman University and decided to further his race-baiting, divisive agenda by making insane comments regarding former President Ronald Reagan and the Tea Party. But that is all this one time Civil Rights leader has become, creating controversy and making outlandish comments in order to keep people divided, maintain animosity and further his cash-cow divisive agenda. Jackson has no answers to anything, but instead just wants to fan the flames. Jackson was invited to speak at "Keeping Hope Alive: Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement. Lauren Cooley, a Furman student who organized that protest and was disappointed that Furman would bring such a divisive individual to speak said, "He's been stirring up division for years through outlandish anti-Semitic, anti-white, and anti-conservative statements." Yup, that pretty much sums Jackson up in a nutshell. We are obviously allowed our Fist Amendment rights of free speech, but why does anyone listen to this guy anymore?
Keep Hate Alive …
Deceased Republican President Ronald Reagan sought to to permanently ban African Americans from playing college and professional football in the South with white people, civil rights icon Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. alleged in a speech at Furman University on Wednesday evening.
In the same speech he also alleged that the modern Tea Party was born from efforts to sustain segregation.
"Goldwater and Reagan – had they been successful, it would have been illegal for blacks and whites to play together on a Saturday afternoon," he said.
"You couldn't have had the Carolina Panthers behind the cotton curtain playing the Atlanta Falcons…[inaudible] it would have been illegal."
In the tirade, recorded by a Furman University student, Jackson went on to claim that if Reagan and former GOP presidential candidate Barry Goldwater had their way, there would have been no Olympics in Atlanta, and basketball legend Michael Jordan would have been ineligible to play basketball at the University of North Carolina (UNC).
"Michael Jordan couldn't have gone to UNC… [inaudible] it would have been ineligible for him to play at UNC," he continued. "You couldn't have had the Olympics in Atlanta Georgia. You couldn't have had the Dallas Cowboys in Houston, Texas, you couldn't have had the Super Bowl in New Orleans or in Atlanta or in Jacksonville or Miami."
Jackson may have been referencing Reagan and Goldwater's vocal support for state and individual rights, which a small number of far left critics interpreted as thinly veiled appeals for segregation.
He repeatedly calling the United States south "the land of the free, the home of genocide," and suggested that the modern day Tea Party was born from efforts to maintain "the walls" of slavery and segregation.
"The Union, those in the Confederacy sought to maintain the walls [of slavery and segregation of races] and secede from the country, the shots fired at Fort Sumter, the beginning of the Tea Party, the 'Fort Sumter' Tea Party, who sought to secede from the union, set their own government, their own currency, sought to ally with France and Britain, to form their own country," he said.

UNBELIEVABLE … MSNBC Host Melissa Harris-Perry Compares Gitmo Terrorist Inmates to American Slaves, HUH?
Liberalism really is a mental disease …
MSLSD MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry actually compared the GITMO terrorist inmates to American slaves. Wow, just wow. What is wrong with this network? Not only does the race baiting continue for the Far Left, but the foolish and ignorant comment was a complete insult to anyone who was a slave in America and their memories. Can you imagine if some one on Fox News made such a comment? Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the NAACP would be calling for a boycott and their firing. So let's under stand the mentality of the LEFT toward former slaves in America. The LEFT is comparing radical Islamist Jihadists whose sworn oath to Allah is to kill Americans and our way of life and "infidels" who has a different belief from them, who are being detained in GITMO, to black slaves who were bought and sold into slavery and brought to America against their will. Seriously? I'm sorry, I get the two confused all the time, NOT!
All blacks in America should be wringing the phones and hammering the emails of MSNBC in their collective outrage of comparing slaves to terrorist.
From The Weekly Standard:
"This is the time to reaffirm our Americanness," said Harris-Perry. "I also appreciate that the hunger strikers are not trying to die. They're trying to generate autonomy in the context of something that strips their humanity–something we certainly know about from the experience of American slavery. And that the language of before I would be a slave, I'd be buried in my grave and go home to my Lord and be free. Just that idea of creating human freedom within the context of horrible human conditions."

Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2013 … Its Always About the Content of One's Character
2013 Martin Luther King Jr. Day
"In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not to seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom, by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred." (MLK Jr.)
We all long for the "Dream", but we must always remain vigilant of how we get there and who we chose to follow and listen to. Sadly, many have tried to highjack Martin Luther King Jr's message to coop it for their own advantage. Don't be sheep America, be true to yourself and think for yourself. No truer words have ever been stated than those by Martin Luther King Jr. during his 'I Have a Dream Speech' on August 28, 1963, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character". MLK's message was meant for people of all colors, not one. It was also meant for individuals to interpret it for themselves, not to let those who would benefit from racial strife to tell you how to think and especially who to hate. Martin Luther King Jr's indelible message in about equality and the measure of one's character, not about one's skin color.
MLK Jr's 'The I Have a Dream Speech':
… I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream today.
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."
And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!
But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
King's message makes me wonder what MLK would think about of "His Dream" today? In the United States we have come so far as to be able to elect a President of color not once, but twice. We have had individuals of color in all three branches of government, as high ranking US generals, in the media and every position in the free market system. However, we still have racism in this country and even worse we have race baiting and those that would claim they care about the plight of the discriminated by making false claims of racism and playing the race card at every opportunity.
Think back to MLK Jr's enlightening words, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." The color of one's skin. Would it matter to MLK the color of one's skin who was president when blacks had a 14% unemployment rate, nearly twice the rate of white men and women. Would MLK Jr. have cared the color of one's skin of a president when black teens had a shocking 39.4% unemployment? Would MLK care of the color of ones skin of the leader of the US if Black millennials, those aged 18-29, fare better, but still face an 18.5% unemployment rate? I would dare say that the answer is no.
I would like to think that Martin Luther King Jr., had he been alive today, would speak out against any leader, including President Barack Hussein Obama, for his irresponsible and pathetic approach to help the black community unchain themselves from the bondage of slavery of dependence from the federal government, entitlement programs and the Nanny state. I would like to believe that King would have spoke out against the record millions that have been forced onto food stamps.
To be free at last, free at last means to not be dependent on one party or the federal government. I have to believe that was part of Marin Luther King Jr's dream as well. All Americans of all colors should reflect on that today.

Even Liberal Boston Globe Demands Apology from Obama's VP for Biden's comment … "going to put y'all back in chains"
Houston Barack Obama – Joe Biden you got a problem … So this is what has become of 'Hope & Change'.
When the far left, liberal pages of the Boston Globe demand an apology for Joe Biden's ill-advised and race-based comments, "going to put y'all back in chains," the Barack Obama reelection team has a huge problem. It would seem that Biden may have finally crossed the line of "Joe being Joe" gaffes. Normally Biden is given a free pass for his gaffes no matter if they were just ignorance like not knowing what state he was campaigning in or the correct century for that fact. But also making such racial profiling stereo-types comments about Indians and donut shops and the biggy that Barack Obama was the first mainstream African American (VIDEO)who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. However, Biden's racially charged comment, they're "going to put y'all back in chains," meant to instill fear into blacks and a not so vale inference to slavery was reprehensible and over the line even for the libs at the Boston Globe.
What an embarrassment
When Vice President Joe Biden warned a Virginia rally of hundreds of African Americans that Republican efforts to loosen bank regulations meant "They're going to put y'all back in chains," Stephanie Cutter, Team Obama's deputy campaign manager, said the president would have "no problem with those comments."
But imagine if Republican Paul Ryan uttered comments like that. Mitt Romney's pick for vice president would be pilloried for racial insensitivity — and so would Romney. In the fight for civility and substance over pointless hyperbole, Biden may not be the worst offender. But he's an offender nonetheless, and he should apologize.
Barack Obama, Team Obama and his talking point minions defended Biden's inexcusable comments as if it was just another incident of Joe being Joe and a Republican distraction. However, this matter is not going away even though Obama has put Biden in the witness protection program, out of site so that he cannot open his trap any more. As opined at the White House Dossier regarding the call by the liberal MSM, "this belies the Obama campaign line that it's all a "distraction." What Biden said was contemptible. It was one of his patented inane remarks leavened with extraordinary malice."

Lunatic Fringe: VP Joe Biden Tells Supporters that Republicans Would "put y'all back in chains," During a Campaign Speech in Danville, VA … A New Low for Obama/Biden
Just when you thought that Obama-Biden couldn't get any more low rent … HEY AMERICA, HOW'S THAT HOPEY-CHANGEY THING WORKING OUT FOR YOU?
OBAMA-BIDEN has hit a new low and that is saying something for these two. At a campaign even in Danville, VA Vice President Joe Biden told supporters that Republicans would "put y'all back in chains." Huh? And yes, the hideous comment was racial and meant to evoke putting blacks back in chains. This is what passes as a campaign? Could the Obama-Biden campaign get any more ugly? Politics is supposed to be a contact sport, but this is a new low in American politics. However, what else would one expect from a President and his Chicago style politics who cannot run on his record?
Vice President Joe Biden told supporters that Republicans would "put y'all back in chains," during a campaign speech Tuesday in Danville, Va.
VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: They've said it. Every Republican's voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they're proposing. Romney wants to let the—he said in the first 100 days, he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules–unchain Wall Street. They're going to put y'all back in chains. He's said he's going to do nothing about stopping the practice of outsourcing…
Biden was introduced at the campaign event by Center for American Progress Action Fund president Tom Perriello, who called Biden "the conscience of our nation's capital."
The conscience of our nation's capital? No wonder Washington, DC politicians have such a low approval rating. I think Perriello got the words conscience and brain dead confused.
The Romney campaign reacted to Biden's vile and inappropriate words calling them "not acceptable". However, in an interview with Andrea Mitchell, Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter the campaign has "no problem with those comments." How low rent and in the gutter is the Obama campaign going to go? Actually, they have called Romney a killer and not some one who is going to put Americans back in chains. Just curious, what happened to Obama's message of civility?
"The comments made by the vice president of the United States are not acceptable in our political discourse and demonstrate yet again that the Obama campaign will say and do anything to win this election."
What a contrast we are witness to with Obama's stooge VP Biden and the GOP pick Rep. Paul Ryan. Biden acts like the village idiot and Ryan comes across as a sincere, honest, serious VP candidate with a plan to prevent America from going over the fiscal cliff. Voters need to answer a question, everyone speculated as to who Mitt Romney was going to pick as his VP candidate and whether that person would be ready to lead America being only a heart beat away from the Presidency. Maybe that same question needs to be posed regarding Joe Biden. Who thinks this loose cannon is capable of being President?

Petersen's Success No Surprise For Ihmels
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
"Taylor stepped up and made the difference for us in the team title," Ihmels said. "I'm excited for where she is right now."
Heading into the conference championship, Petersen had yet to finish in Iowa State's top-seven this season. But last Saturday, on the 6,000-meter course at the Pebble Creek Country Club in College Station, Texas, the Reinbeck, Iowa native had the performance of her collegiate career. She crossed the finish line 27th overall and fifth for the Cyclones with a time of 20:46.00.
"I had a gut feeling she was going to run well and be our sixth or seventh finisher," Ihmels said. "But to see her finish fifth is great."
Including Petersen, three of the Cyclones' top-five finishers at the Big 12 Championships were native Iowans. Meaghan Nelson, a Cedar Rapids native, was the race's runner-up. Morgan Casey, a native of Gooselake, finished 20th.
As the Cyclones' fifth finisher, Petersen was the last runner to earn points towards the team score, becoming one of the keys to separating Iowa State's team score from those of Texas and Oklahoma State.
"To be able to score for my team and know I made a difference between us winning the Big 12 title or losing by a few points made this experience the best I have had in my collegiate running career," Petersen said. "To be able to share this title with my team means a lot to me. Someday it will be really cool to look back and tell my family and friends I played a part in the 2011 Big 12 victory."
Petersen is a junior majoring in animal science. She was rewarded for her academic efforts earlier in the cross country season when she was named first-team Academic All-Big 12 for the first time.
"She's a great student, comes to practice every day and always does what we ask of her," Ihmels said. "Coming from a small town and being a walk-on athlete, it's great to see her continue to get better and to see her have some success."
The Cyclones are currently preparing for the Midwest Regional Championship, Nov. 12 in DeKalb, Ill, where the Iowa State women will look to defend their 2010 regional title. Petersen hopes to be able to contribute again to the team's anticipated success.
"I have crushed my personal goal to improve my personal record," Petersen said. "But I am always looking to run faster in every race. Our team has accomplished the goal of winning the Big 12 Championships and now we need to keep the regional and national meets in our sights. We have a really good group of girls that could all be our number five runner, but I would love to run good races in the next few weeks and try to continue to score for my team."
She also hopes to use her accomplishments from the Big 12 Championships as a motivator for the rest of the cross country season.
"I want to use the experiences from this season to boost my confidence level in racing," Petersen said.

If you lost one of the pink pills, replace it from the very last day of the package, and then keep taking the pills one a day as usual. You will be one pill short at the end of the package which means your period will probably come a day earlier.
Here is the information from the manufacturer on what to do if you miss Jolessa or Seasonale pills.
If you MISS 1 pink "active" pill:
1. Take it as soon as you remember. Take the next pill at your regular time. This means you may take 2 pills in 1 day.
2. You do not need to use a back-up birth control method if you have sex.
If you MISS 2 pink "active" pills in a row:
1. Take 2 pills on the day you remember, and 2 pills the next day.
2. Then take 1 pill a day until you finish the pack.
3. You COULD BECOME PREGNANT if you have sex in the 7 days after you restart your pills. You MUST use another birth control method (such as condoms or spermicide) as a back-up on the 7 days after you restart your pills.
If you MISS 3 OR MORE pink "active" pills in a row:
1. Do not remove the missed pills from the pack as they will not be taken. Keep taking 1 pill every day as indicated on the pack until you have completed all of the remaining pills in the pack. For example: If you resume taking the pill on Thursday, take the pill under "Thursday" and do not take the missed pills. You may experience bleeding during the week following the missed pills.
2. You COULD BECOME PREGNANT if you have sex during the days of missed pills or during the first 7 days after restarting your pills.
3. You must use a non-hormonal birth control method (such as condoms or spermicide) as a back-up when you miss pills and for the first 7 days after you restart your pills. If you miss your period when you are taking the white pills, call your healthcare provider because you may be pregnant.
If you MISS ANY of the 7 white inactive pills.
1. Throw away the missed pills.
2. Keep taking the scheduled pills until the pack is finished.
3. You do not need a back-up method of birth control.
1. Use a BACK-UP METHOD anytime you have sex.
2. KEEP TAKING ONE PILL EACH DAY until you contact your healthcare provider.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is doing his part to support small businesses. Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha dropped in Saturday at Washington's Politics and Prose bookstore and purchased what he said was a "long list" of books that included "The Kite Runner," ''Harold and the Purple Crayon," and "The Sports Gene."
The president said he bought a reader for every age, from 5 to 52 - his age. He paid by credit card. The total was not announced.
Obama sent a tweet earlier Saturday about the importance of supporting small businesses. The Saturday after Thanksgiving has become known as "Small Business Saturday." It's designed to drive business to mom and pop shops between the whirlwind of Black Friday sales offered by large retailers and Cyber Monday deals from online sellers.
The White House later provided a list of the books the president bought:
Half Brother - Oppel

Foreign Ministry names Joseph Levy-Safri chargé d'affaires of Israeli Embassy in Ankara but tension between nations remain high
Ronen Medzini
Published: 11.21.11, 14:22 / Israel News
Ronen Medzini
The Foreign Ministry announced Monday that it will be sending another diplomatic envoy to Ankara, who will act as the chargé d'affaires of the Israeli Embassy, despite the unrelenting tensions between Israel
and Turkey.
It was not too long ago, in September, when Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu announced that following Jerusalem's adamant refusal to apologize over the 2010 Gaza flotilla raid,
Ankara will be downgrading its diplomatic relations
with Israel and suspending key military agreements.
Related articles:
In a dramatic turn of events, Turkey announced that it was expelling
Israeli Ambassador Gabby Levy from Ankara. Davutoglu said Turkey's diplomatic representation in Israel would be further reduced to second-secretary level. In accordance, all lower Israeli diplomatic personnel above the second-secretary level have also been expelled.

The announcement followed a press conference, in which Davutoglu said that some of the UN's Palmer Report
findings on the raid were "unacceptable," adding that it was "time for Israel to pay the price... The highest price it can pay is losing our friendship."
Following the expulsion of Levy, the Turks announced that no Israeli diplomats above the second-level secretary will be allowed to remain in Ankara. This led Jerusalem officials to search for the most viable candidate meeting Ankara's criteria – offering the position to Joseph Levy-Safri.
Safri, 39, a conflict resolution attorney, enjoys high esteem in diplomatic circles and most recently he has served as part of Israel's mission to Uruguay.
Turkey withdrew its own ambassador to Israel immediately after the 2010 raid. At the time, Turkey vowed that its demand for an apology from Israel would remain unchanged, stating that it is powerful enough to protect the rights of its citizen.
The Palmer Report
did not demand an Israeli apology, establishing instead that Israel should express regret and pay reparations, the official said in September, adding that Jerusalem still hoped that the two countries could "return to the cooperation that was a cornerstone of regional stability." Another senior official added that "the severing of ties goes against Turkey's strategic interests."
Since then, the Turkish prime minister's rhetoric has taken a belligerent tone, threatening that Ankara's warships could deploy in east Mediterranean waters at a moment's notice, and outfitting Turkish warplanes with radar systems that identify Israeli targets as "hostile."
A couple of weeks after the expulsion of Levy, Israel decided to end its police cooperation with Turkey, transferring the police attaché stationed in Ankara to Romania.
Ministry Spokesman Tal Volovitch had said that Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch has decided to transfer Israel's Ankara-based homeland security representative to Bucharest.

It was deja vu for fire crews Sunday afternoon, responding twice to the same trailer fire at 416 Lyndell Lane.
Panama City Beach firefighters say the fire was put out, and the fire marshal came by to investigate and declared it an accident. About four hours later, at 9:30 Sunday night, crews were called back to a fire at the same location.
Officials say the second fire is still under investigation. No one lived in the trailer, and officials say the owners were in the middle of renovations to try and sell the trailer.

Emcee gave trainer Kiaran McLaughlin and owner Godolphin Racing their fourth Grade 1 win of the 2012 Saratoga Race Course meet by taking the $500,000 Forego by 4 ½ lengths on Saturday.
"It's an honor to train for Godolphin and to have such quality horses," said McLaughlin, who earlier in the meet teamed with Godolphin to post Grade 1 scores in the TVG Coaching Club American Oaks and Alabama with Questing and the Travers via dead heat with Alpha. "It makes my job easier, but I have a great team of people behind me, and it's been an unbelievable meet. It's hard to even believe. It will take some time to sink in."
Emcee, who was seeking his first Grade 1 in three starts at the level, pressed pacesetter Pacific Ocean in second through a quarter-mile in 22.64 seconds and a half in 45.38. Jersey Town made a bold run along the inside to pass the top two in the run into the stretch before Emcee overtook that rival inside the final furlong and drove clear late. Hamazing Destiny nipped Jersey Town by a neck for second.
Off as the 3-2 favorite, Emcee returned $5.10 for a $2 win wager and ran seven furlongs in 1:21.00.
"My horse broke good and was right in the game," said winning jockey Alan Garcia. "Turning for home, when I asked him, he ran and did it very well. I was very confident. It was a great post today, better than last time. All I wanted was for him to break good and take it from there. He did it the right way."
In Saratoga's Grade 1 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap on August 5, Emcee left from post position 2, led in deep stretch, and was passed late by both Poseidon's Warrior and Justin Phillip to finish third, beaten a half-length. This time, he departed from post 5 in the field of seven, and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said the outside post may have made the difference.
"Had we been outside in the Vanderbilt, we might have been in a better spot," said McLaughlin. "I'm just happy to win with this horse. He deserved a Grade 1, and he got it today."
After winning his first two races in impressive fashion, Emcee was third in the Grade 3 Tom Fool Handicap presented by Corona Extra in March at Aqueduct Racetrack, then fourth in his Grade 1 debut, Aqueduct's Carter Handicap in April. A 4 ½-length optional-claiming victory on May 5 at Belmont Park preceded his third in the Vanderbilt.
Overall, Emcee is 4-0-2 in seven starts with $479,000 in earnings, including the $300,000 winner's share of the Forego purse.
Emcee, a 4-year-old, likely will have one start prior to a Breeders' Cup race in November at Santa Anita, McLaughlin said.
On Monday, McLaughlin and Godolphin will attempt to land another major stakes win at Saratoga when they send out Fortify in the Grade 2 Three Chimneys Hopeful. In addition to their four Grade 1 triumphs, they also won Saratoga's Grade 2 Jim Dandy with Alpha in July.
Caixa Eletronica was fourth, followed home by Pacific Ocean, Isn't He Perfect, and Jackson Bend. Shackleford, the 2-1 morning-line favorite, was scratched.

The UWG debate team recently brought in the new year with a victory over 76 other teams from across the nation at the University of Texas-Dallas and the University of North Texas.
The team of Osayame Gaius-Obaseki, a junior from Miami, and Hakeem Muhammad, a freshman from Chicago, defeated teams from Baylor, Emory, University of Michigan, Indiana University, University of Oklahoma and Wyoming at the UT-Dallas tournament. Gaius-Obaseki placed fourth as an individual speaker, Muhammad placed 25th. The strong showing by Gaius-Obaseki and Muhammad solidifies their position as one of the top 20 teams in the nation. This win is a repeat for the debate team, which also won the UT-Dallas tournament last year.
The team capped their trip to Texas by also winning the tournament hosted by the University of North Texas. In the field of 66 teams, Gaius-Obaseki and Muhammad defeated teams from the University of Indiana, Kansas University, University of Michigan, University of Oklahoma, University of Texas-San Antonio and Trinity University. Gaius-Obaseki was recognized as the top individual speaker, while Muhammad was eighth. Their combined record of 23-1 between the two tournaments included a preliminary round record of 13-1, which earned them the "Best Two Steppers" swing trophy. This performance marks the third consecutive tournament in which a UWG team has reached the championship round, something only the Northwestern and Georgetown teams have accomplished this season.
"The UWG debate program's sustained national success is the result of hard work and determination," said Dr. Michael Hester, dean of honors college and trans-disciplinary programs and director of debate for 18 years. "This success is not just on the part of the debaters, but also the faculty and staff at UWG who are committed to the motto – 'educational excellence in a personal environment'."
This year marks the third consecutive year the UWG debate team has had a freshman win a national varsity tournament. In 2011, Vanova Robles and her partner, a sophomore, won the Vanderbilt tournament. In 2012, Damiyr Davis and Miguel Feliciano, both freshmen, won the UT-Dallas tournament. This is also the third consecutive season an African American male UWG debater has won a varsity tournament, a feat unmatched by any other school during that time.
"Hakeem's tremendous season thus far highlights the success of UWG's inaugural Summer Transition Program," said Hester. "He came to West Georgia from an inner-city Chicago high school with a less than stellar academic high school record. After the summer program and fall semester, Hakeem has made himself eligible for the Honors College and is on the verge of a magna cum laude-level grade point average."
The Summer Transition Program, newly renamed the Ignite Program, identifies students who do not meet university admission standards but have the potential to succeed. The program conditionally accepts them to the university with the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to succeed at college-level work.
"Hakeem was given an opportunity by the innovative programs of Dr. Lingrell and his staff, and taught by the faculty here," Hester continued. "He has proven to be an excellent student and is well on his way to achieving great things at UWG and later in life."
This season's resolution is "The United States Federal Government should substantially reduce restrictions on and/or substantially increase financial incentives for energy production in the United States for one or more of the following: coal, crude oil, natural gas, nuclear power, solar power, wind power."
For more information contact Dr. Michael Hester at 678-839-6636.

Carmelo Anthony scored 40 points — giving him 90 in two games — and Raymond Felton had three straight baskets in a key spurt...
ATLANTA — Carmelo Anthony scored 40 points — giving him 90 in two games — and Raymond Felton had three straight baskets in a key spurt, helping the New York Knicks beat the Atlanta Hawks 95-82 on Wednesday night for their 10th straight victory.
Anthony, coming off a 50-point effort in a win over Miami on Tuesday, scored 24 points in the first half. He shot 17 of 27 from the field and was 5 for 6 from the free-throw line.
Felton sparked a 12-2 run that turned a tie game into an 84-74 lead for the Knicks. He scored eight of his 12 points in the fourth quarter to help the Knicks move into sole possession of second place in the Eastern Conference.
Atlanta missed an opportunity to move into a tie for fourth in the East and wasted a 25-point effort by Kyle Korver, who came up two points short of his season high.

Nature Reviews: Cancer
The unique abilities of human pluripotent stem cells to self-renew and to differentiate into cells of the three germ layers make them an invaluable tool for the future of regenerative medicine. However, the same properties also make them tumorigenic, and therefore hinder their clinical application. Hence, the tumorigenicity of human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) has been extensively studied. Until recently, it was assumed that human induced pluripotent stem cells (HiPSCs) would behave like their embryonic counterparts in respect to their tumorigenicity. However, a rapidly accumulating body of evidence suggests that there are important genetic and epigenetic differences between these two cell types, which seem to influence their tumorigenicity.

Boom EP
Released By: Hear Music
release description
The youngest of four children, Anjulie grew up in the Toronto suburb of Oaksville, Ontario, raised by immigrant parents from Guyana - a South American nation culturally influenced by its Caribbean neighbors to the north. As a result, her household was filled with everything from Afro-Caribbean calypso, reggae, and South American Latin music, to the pop and rock emanating from her older siblings' radios. The mélange has definitely influenced Anjulie's debut - a sophisticated blend of indelible pop smarts, hip-hop edginess, and world-music spice, topped by Anjulie's sultry vocal stylings that she created with her producers and songwriting collaborators Colin Wolfe, who has worked with Dr. Dre and Monica, and her longtime collaborator Jon Levine, keyboardist for Toronto's funk-pop combo The Philosopher Kings.
The slinky opening track "Boom," works a dark, Nancy Sinatra-esque '60s vibe, while the sweet pop sophistication of "Love Songs" and "Day Will Soon Come" exhibit her personal and musical confessions come to life. Much like her contemporaries Nelly Furtado, Corinne Bailey Rae and Lily Allen, Anjulie is ready to carve out her own essential place in popular music with this versatile, confident, eclectic introduction.

AJS started off in the motor manufacturing Midlands, where the first A J Stevens was built in 1909. By 1910, the Stevens Bros were making one of the first British overhead valve engined machines of 348cc capacity. A 498cc OHV, again a single cylinder engine, in an AJS 500 was offered to the motorcycle buying public from 1925. However, thanks to the Great Depression of the 1930s, the Stevens Bros had to sell out in 1931 to the Collier Bros, maker of Matchless bikes in Plumstead, London, to where AJS production transferred. This was how Matchless and AJS merged. Much later, the AJS Porcupine 500 twin (winner of the first ever World Championship in 1949 with Les Graham riding) and 7R 350, and Matchless G50 500 racers were to excel in racing. Latterly, AJS became a brand of the Associate Motor Cycles Group.
According to the vendor of the 1957-manufactured 16M 350 machine being auctioned here, which is presented in traditional AJS black, this is a lovely bike which runs well and has seen little use.

A great dish. Simple & easy to make.
I've made this twice already. I love this side dish. It is SO easy to prepare and I can whip it together in about 5 minutes. I don't even thaw the corn. I throw it in the microwave as directed, but just add about 2 tbsp water to it, and it turns out perfectly. I also just use plain cream cheese (since that's what I had on hand) and it tastes just fine to me...just needed salt and pepper. I also added some real bacon bits, which gave it a nice texture and flavor. Finally, I mixed the leftovers with some cooked rice and loved the combo of the two!

Strep Throat ~ Please go away, I can't take you anymore!
Friday, September 03, 2010
So I haven't been very active, the past couple of days, on my Sparkpeeps blogs and feeds and what not and I am sorry about that. I also want to thank anyone and everyone who has left me messages on my blogs and photos.
This Blog is nothing more than a "feeling sorry for myself" pity party blog....so please don't feel obligated to read any further! Sometimes it just feels good to get it out!
I went to the Dr. on Wednesday because I thought that I might have strep throat. Starting on Monday I just had a little sore throat, but when I looked at it Wednesday morning....it looked scary back there. I've never had strep...and I knew I had never seen anything like that before, so I decided to go.
She did a throat culture so I am actually still waiting on the results. But on Wednesday I was like...Hmmm so this strep throat thing isn't so bad, barely a sore throat and no other symptoms plus I'm contagious so good chance I can skip out of work for a couple days. My doctor did say that I could also be at the early stage and I may wake up in the morning feeling awful. Well...let me tell you! I woke up Thursday morning and thought that death sounded REAL good!! I haven't been able to eat anything AT ALL since Wednesday afternoon. I tried to eat some yogurt yesterday and couldn't do it! I have only been in this much pain one other time in my life.... I had a herniated disk in my lower back about 3 years ago, but this strep comes close second. Childbirth was a day at the park compared to this. Not to mention TOM paid me a visit yesterday, so all I have been doing is sleeping and crying and sleeping and crying! I feel like a big big baby!!
Anyway...I am on my third day of antibiotics so surely I'm going to start feeling better soon... I also found a big bottle of Hydrocodone that I forgot I had....so those have been helping (a tiny bit) with the pain. But I am hungry! I am thirsty! And I am scared that I am going to get dehydrated, so I've been struggling with fluids when I get brave.
I should be getting my results today and I am actually just praying that it IS strep throat, because if it isn't then what in the world else could it be? Throat cancer? Damn Tom for putting these horrible thoughts in my head!!
Well...if you got to the end of this I thank you for listening and letting me cry on your shoulder! I think I am going to take about a 3 hour nap until The Young and The Restless comes on....at least there's that! ;o)

I used to keep strep constantly, so one day my husbands grandmother told me to fix a cup of warm water with salt and one cap of vinegar, And I did what she told me. I have never had it since. If I feel a sore throat coming I go grab the vinegar and warm salt water.Hope this helps

They also say even when your not feeling well it's still good to exercise. It doesn't have to be much but just a little. I remember when I have had strep and how I felt(like poo lol)but I still managed to get in a little workout.
Really how you start to feel better

|Technical: Discovery I
I purchased my Discovery the existing standard suspension was rather
tired, which is not surprising as I suspect that both the springs and
dampers were those originally fitted by the factory. I already knew that
I wanted to upgrade the suspension as I needed to be able to travel
fully loaded over rough terrain and tow a large caravan. I was also
conscious of the fact that some of the other modifications I had planned
such as steering
guard, rock
sliders and a substantial roof
rack would add a significant amount of dead weight to the
knew several people that had bought 1 and 2 inch suspension lift
packages from Scorpion Racing comprising De Carbon dampers and their own
brand springs. This seemed an obvious solution and I initially thought
that a 1-inch lift would be appropriate.
when I described what I wanted together with the other modifications I
had planned to the Service Manager at Keith
Gott Land Rovers, he advised against a suspension lift. His reasoning
was this: Lifting the suspension raises the center of gravity, changes
the steering castor angle and changes the prop-shaft angles. The first
two, when combined with a heavily loaded roof rack, will adversely
affect the vehicle handling and the latter will increase wear on the
universal joints. As I was keen to maintain good mechanical integrity,
and I wasn't after ultimate off-road performance, this all seemed to
make sense. He recommended that I fit new standard front sprints and
up-rate the rear springs to original equipment heavy-duty items – the
same as fitted to Camel Trophy Discovery's. He also recommended Koni
adjustable gas dampers. These have three levels of stiffness, set during
installation, and the recommendation was to set them on their softest
level at the front and firmest at the rear.
fitting, the front springs were actually deemed to be ok and so were not
the suspension was upgraded in this way, the transformation was
immediately noticeable. The vehicle felt much more taught and stable
through corners, and the back end was no longer lower than the front.
Overall the vehicle was slightly higher than before, even at the front
which retained the original springs. This is due to the dampers, which
are positively pressurised and so provide a certain amount of lift.
the longer term, this suspension set-up has more than lived up to its'
expectations. During our trip to Morocco
the vehicle was very heavily laden but it remained level whilst still
being able to soak up the rough terrain and provide a comfortable ride.
More recently, whilst towing our Desert
Wolf trailer, the rear end of the vehicle drops no more than
25mm when hitched up.
also toyed with the idea of installing quick disconnect fittings on the
rear anti-roll bar, which was a recommendation from Scorpion Racing.
This is supposed to increase axle articulation. I eventually decided
against it as really I don't need that level of extreme off-road
ability for the majority of my driving and I didn't fancy crawling
underneath on a regular basis to connect or disconnect it.

Expand box score for true tally on education
Dear Secretary of Education Arne Duncan:
Congratulations on your MVP award at the NBA Celebrity All-Star game. 20 points, 8 boards, 3 assists and a steal-you really filled up that stat sheet. Like you, I spent some time playing overseas after college and have long been a consumer of basketball box scores - they tell you so much about a game. I especially like that the typical box score counts assists, rebounds and steals - not just points - in its numerical summation.
As a CYO coach of young players, my wife, Michele, and I expanded the typical box score. We added "good passes," "defensive stops," "loose ball dives" and anything else we could figure out a way to measure. This was all part of an effort to describe for our young charges the "right way" to play the game. I think you will agree that "points scored" rarely tells the full story of a player's worth to the team.
Mr. Secretary, I think the basketball metaphor is also instructive when we "measure" higher education. If you look at all these higher education "success" measures as a basketball box score instead of just a golf-type scorecard, it helps clarify two central flaws.
First, exclusivity - almost every single higher education scorecard fails to account for the efforts of more than half of those students actually engaged in "higher" education.
At Mount Aloysius, we love our Division III brand of Mountie basketball, but we don't have any illusions about what would happen if we went up against those five freshman phenoms from D-I Kentucky - especially if someone decided that half our points won't even get counted in the box score.
Here's a list of groups of "players" (students) that existing "scorecards" (including the so-called White House Scorecard) simply don't count. The databases for all the current higher education scorecards focus exclusively on what the evaluators call "first-time four-year bachelor's degree seeking students (FTFYBDs). Nothing wrong with that group except that they represent less than half of all students' currently in college - and yet these FTFYBDs are the only students the current scorecards actually "count."
None of the following "players" show up in the box score when graduation rates are tabulated on the current higher education scorecards:
- Players who are non-starters (meaning they aren't FYFTBDs), even if they play every minute of the last three quarters, score the most points and graduate on time. In higher education, these would be students who transfer, spring-enrollees, part-time students and mature students,who are usually working full time while going to school.
- Any player who has transferred in from another school. If you didn't start out at that school from which you graduated, then you don't count.
- Any player who switches positions during the game. Think two-year degree students who switch to a four-year program.
- Any player who is only going to play for two years. That is every student in a community college and also those graduates who get their RN degree in two years and go right to work (even if they later complete the four-year degree, they still don't count.)
- Any scoring by any player that occurs in overtime: think mature and second- career students who never intended to graduate on the typical schedule.
The message suggested by these flawed measures is unavoidable - these hard- working students simply don't count.
I know that your focus has been exactly opposite these measures - you understand that two-year degrees are essential in this economy, that students who need to transfer for family, health or economic reasons are just as valuable as FTFYBDs and that non-traditional students are now the rule, not the exception. But current evaluation measures are almost universally out-of-date with readily available data systems and out of synch with the real lives of many students, who simply don't have the economic luxury of a fully financed four- year college degree. All five groups of students listed just don't show up anywhere in the box score.
The second issue is fairness - the current measurement systems make no effort to account for the difference between (in basketball terms) D-I and D-III, between "highly selective schools" (which "select" from the top echelons of college "recruits") and those schools that work best with students who are first generation to college, low income, or simply less prepared ("you can't coach height" we used to say). As much as you might love the way Wisconsin-Whitewater won this year's D-III national championship on a last second shot, they're no match for D-I Coach Bo Ryan's University of Wisconsin. The Badgers are just taller, faster, stronger-that's why they made it to the Final Four.
The bottom line on fairness is that graduation rates track closely with family income, parental education, Pell grant eligibility and other obvious socio-economic indicators - the data is consistent over time and truly incontrovertible.
I know that you understand how essential it is that any measuring system be fair. And I know you are already working on this problem, Mr. Secretary - on a "degree of difficulty" index, so to speak. The classification system that your team is working on right now could assign a coefficient that weighs these measurable mitigating factors when posting outcomes. Such a coefficient would also help to identify those institutions that are doing the best job at serving these very students
Absent such a coefficient, colleges will have every incentive to "cream" their admissions process, and every disincentive against serving those students whom you have indicated are key to our economic future - two- year graduates, lower income and diverse populations.
That's the "court" that schools like Mount Aloysius, Misericordia and 15 other Mercy colleges play on. We love our FTFYBDs, but we work just as hard on behalf of the more than 50 percent of our students whose circumstances require a less traditional but no less worthy route to graduation. We think they count too, in the higher education box scores and in life. Thanks for listening.

The creators of the music game Def Jam Rapstar are the target of a lawsuit filed by music giant EMI. According to the Hollywood Reporter (thanks Andrew Eisen), EMI filed a lawsuit in New York federal court last week alleging substantial damages from the use of unlicensed songs (from the likes of Kanye West, DMX, Lil Wayne, and more) in the video game Def Jam Rapstar. The game was developed jointly by 4mm Games and Terminal Reality – both are named as co-defendants in the lawsuit.
According to the complaint filed by EMI in Federal Court, the company notified the game's developers that its rights on certain songs had been infringed and that some sort of agreement or settlement was needed to compensate EMI for royalties. EMI claims that these demands went unanswered.
The complaint lists 54 songs that EMI claims were infringed upon, and it is seeking statutory damages of $150,000 for each work infringed. The company also claims the rights to "distribute, display, and publicly perform" the songs, so further monetary damages could be in the pipeline. The Hollywood reporter also points out that the lawsuit could be worth more than $8 million – not including "the game's net profits, which plaintiffs also demand."
The odd part of this story is that EMI is claiming only part ownership on many of the songs and in varying degrees; for example, it claims it owns 10 percent of DJ Khaled's "I'm So Hood," 16 percent ownership of MIMS' "This Is Why I'm Hot," and 30 percent ownership of Lil Wayne's "Got Money." How this ownership percentage is translated by the court remains to be seen.

Certainly not the team that gives up 8 more offensive rebounds and 11 more turnovers. You get 19 more possessions, you get more shot attempts. The math is easy.
This is such an old story, yet when it unfolds every night it's still stunning to watch and still as logic-defying to comprehend.
On the defensive end it looks like the defensive rotations use up every bit of brain and body energy they have, and the shot that follows is a signal for all of them to relax for a moment, stop, freeze, stand stockstill unless the ball is a long shot and the rebound maybe ends up directly overhead.
Otherwise, they just stand and watch. Last night there were at least 4 own-rebound put-backs. Anthony and Martin looked like they were taking a ball away from a kid at the playground. Both of them waltzed down the lane for putback dunks.
I'm serious. I've coached for a very long time and I cannot believe that coaches at any level leave this unattended. And it is not, repeat, not tied in with the philosophy to not send people to the offensive glass. That's at the other end. This is defensive rebounding we're talking about.
It is said that rebounding is mostly a matter of instinct and will. Bass doesn't have it and despite last night, Green seems not to either. I'm ready to see if White can do it in Bass's place. Randolph already seems to have that flailing, clumsy, stumbling, rebounding nose for the ball. Maybe throw him in and let him whack a few people across the nose a few times.
As far as the turnovers, all those adequate passing combo guards are not adequate at all, and Pierce has become a turnover machine, a scorer whose last turnover, he is always quite sure, will be made up for by his next score. Sometimes he gives it a 'my bad,' but mostly he looks around for something else to hang it on, if he reacts at all.
Crawford came in as a 'trick or treat' player. Six turnovers from him is no shock. But from a veteran, captain, all-time great Celtic, future HOF, etc., etc., on a losing streak, playing at home against the Knicks for playoff seeding, six turnovers and listless defense is not the kind of leadership you'd expect, nor, might I say, the kind you got from other all-time greats like Cowens, Havlicek, Bird, Heinsohn, Russell, etc., etc.

Cal Post-Game Football Quotes
Related Links
September 20, 1998
Memorial Stadium Norman, Okla.
California Head Coach Tom Holmoe
On the game
"We feel good and over in their lockeroom they feel horrible because the difference in the game was an inch or so, some missed field goals and a missed extra point." "Tom Wolleck missed his first field goal, I think it was left, but he had a strong kick, he came off the field feeling confident and I was confident if we needed him again and he had the opportunity he would come through for us."
On OU's running game
"Gosh, they're good, they put a lot of pressure on our defense. We stacked the line knowing that we had to stop their strength, the run, in order to win. We knew if they got into a passing situation we were in pretty good shape."
"Oklahoma's offense is good. Brandon Daniels is the difference in their running game. Our defense was tired late in the game and Oklahoma nicked us up pretty good."
On the game-winning drive
"I felt going into the game the last team to have the ball might win, that wasn't necessarily the case but we did control the ball long enough and our game-winning field goal drive ran some time off of the clock. When Oklahoma did get the ball they were in poor field position and had to go a long way in a short amount of time to win."
On California's running game
"Marcus Fields made some big runs for us, we knew we had to move the ball on the ground if we were to win. We got some nice runs early and it gave us the confidence that we could move the ball when we had to."
California Senior Justin Vedder
On the game:
"It was a hard fought game by both teams. I don't think that we played very well offensively. Our defense held us in there. Hopefully we can come back next week and get better."
On OU defense:
"OU's defense this year was a little bit more attacking. They mixed it up pretty well, and made it hard on us."
On running the ball:
"We planned on running the ball coming in. We expected to, and we thought that we could. We did it pretty well today."
On his running yards:
"It is a good thing. We got in a situation where we kept driving down and getting big runs. We got in situations where we didn't have to throw, and that is good. Especially late in the game when the clock is running. We never really had the chance to throw the ball."
On the crowd:
"It was real loud one time. The referee said if he could hear us than he can't call a time out. Basically, I was trying to get the referee to call a timeout because we were going to call an audible, and we didn't have time."
California Senior Tim Wolleck
On first field goal:
"I just missed it to the left by a couple of yards. I hit the ball good. I just didn't account for the wind, or hooked it for whatever reason. It was a good hold and snap. I just missed it."
On last field goal:
"I was going through mental preparation. I was visualizing myself going out there and hitting it no problem. I just wanted to go out there relaxed, and treat it like an extra point. I just wanted to kick it like I would any other ball. I hit it pretty good, and luckily it went through the uprights."
On the game:
"We played a good game but there were a lot of mistakes. We played hard so there is nothing we can do. We'll go home, watch film and see if we can make corrections."
OU Coach John Blake
On the game
"I am disappointed that we didn't win. We didn't execute as well as we had hoped. But we have a week off to regroup and concentrate on the Colorado game for Homecoming. The defense executed well and made things happen. Our defense played -- well we got a lot of pressure on their quarterback and forced him to dump the ball.
At times we did execute the option well. Then again, there were times when we simply didn't execute. We knew this was going to be a tough game. I said from the very beginning that Cal is a good football team, so we have to learn from this experience and move on."
On the option:
"I think in the second half we did a better job of reading what they were doing. Brandon looked a lot more comfortable and we did some things to get De'Mond the ball. We had a little success once we made the proper adjustments."
On Ferguson
"I had no idea that Ferguson was sick. I think that he thought that he could overcome the situation. The team has a lot of confidence in him as a kicker and they rally around him. He has the right rhythm and timing."
On Reese not throwing the ball away
"He should have thrown the ball away, because we did have time for another play. We lost a lot of yards, but that is not what lost the ball game. He tried as hard as he could, but he has never been in that situation before."
OU Senior Kelly Gregg
On the game:
"Our offense came out and scored right off the bat, and our job is to keep them from scoring. At times we played well and at times we had some breakdowns. After the first series we calmed down and played pretty well, but it just makes you sick to look at the result. But we have to pick it up and get ready for conference play. That's when it really counts. We have to learn from our mistakes tonight."
On the Sooner offense:
" We just need to take advantage of good opportunities. We need to finish. Even the defense had some good opportunities tonight that we didn't finish. Everyone needs to improve at that."
On Califonia's running game:
" I think we adjusted well after we saw what they were doing, but they did surprise me a little. I thought they were going to throw a lot of short passes, but they kept going back to the run. You have to give them credit, they executed well. We would stop them some, but then we would give up a big play."
OU Junior Jarrail Jackson
On the game:
"I think our offense moved the ball pretty well, but then would get inside the 10 and have a couple of little breakdowns. Those are things we can get corrected and bounce back from. It's really hard to explain. We missed a couple of key blocks and then we would stall out on a drive."
