Maddon on 500th win with Rays: It's all the players
Maddon with a ball from the game.
Manager Joe Maddon downplayed the accomplishment of winning his 500th game with the Rays, saying the credit should go to the players.
"Honestly, until (VP communications) Rick Vaughn brought it up a couple days ago, I had no clue this was going on,'' Maddon said. "It really speaks to the quality of the players and the organization is what it does. Whereas the first couple years spoke to the lack of quality. All of a sudden it got better in years 3, etc. I just happen to be standing in the corner of the dugout. Our guys, it's just the ability, the skill level, the way this group cares, all that stuff is really increased on an annual basis. The 500 wins, I just happen to be the steward of this group and i have reaped the benefits of their play. Better baseball players make you a lot smarter manager.'
Maddon becomes the fifth manager to have at least 500 wins with their current team, joining Ron Gardenhire (Twins), Jim Leyland (Tigers), Charlie Manuel (Phillies), Mike Scioscia (Angels).
Maddon said he appreciated the opportunity to stick around.
"At the end of the second year that was that moment where ownership could have thought something differently, but did not,'' he said. "They chose to stay with me, and part of that is why I wanted to sign the extension when we got that opportunity. I've said it before, this is the best place in the major leagues to be as a manager. And I really believe we've become a destination spot for players. I know maybe we don't pay the most money but as a place to participate and as a place to grow and feel free as a major-leaguer to take your game to the field, I think this is a great place to play."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- And now, the worries set in. Summer's over and the rest of 2012 suddenly has more than a few big question marks hanging over it. The sellers traditionally come out of the woodwork in September and October has a talent for infamy but it's more likely that November that will take center stage this time around. "What could be more uncertain than handicapping a presidential election more than two months away, and then projecting which agendas will be adopted by the supposed victor and approved by a yet-to-be reconstituted Congress?," wrote Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, in commentary released Tuesday. "Regardless of who wins the election, or how the majorities shift in Congress, the victors won't be sworn in until January 2013, nearly a month after the U.S. faces the possibility of falling off the fiscal cliff. Therefore, it will be incumbent upon the lame-ducks to resolve this impasse in order to allow for the traditional post-election rally to materialize." Interestingly, the historical data is soundly in favor of the Democrats when it comes to stock performance as well as growth in both GDP and corporate profits, according to S&P. "Since 1900, there have been six stretches of Democratic presidents and six for Republicans, during which the S&P 500 rose a median 12.1% in price during each year that a Democrat occupied the White House, as compared with a median 5.1% gain under Republican administrations," Stovall noted. "In addition, since 1949, U.S. real GDP increased a median 4.2% per year under Democrats, versus 2.6% per year under Republicans." Corporate profits, measured on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis, have risen a median 10.5% per year since 1936 during Democratic administrations vs. an 8.9% advance under the GOP, S&P said. "So while one might say that Democrats are the 'tax and spend' party, the important part of that equation may be the 'spend,'" Stovall wrote. "When you spend, that usually improves the economy and increases corporate earnings." Citigroup, however, has a different take. The firm argues a victory for the challenger in a presidential election may be the best way forward for equity bulls, regardless of party affiliation. The data shows a median gain of 7.4% for the S&P 500 in the first year of the new term following an incumbent's loss vs. a rise of 1.2% if the incumbent stays in The White House.

Wall Street Journal
Federal authorities, capping a three-year investigation, are preparing insider-trading charges that could ensnare consultants, investment bankers, hedge-fund and mutual-fund traders and analysts across the nation, according to people familiar with the matter.
The criminal and civil probes, which authorities say could eclipse the impact on the financial industry of any previous such investigation, are examining whether multiple insider-trading rings reaped illegal profits totaling tens of millions of dollars, the people say. Some charges could be brought before year-end, they say.
The investigations, if they bear fruit, have the potential to expose a culture of pervasive insider trading in U.S. financial markets, including new ways non-public information is passed to traders through experts tied to specific industries or companies, federal authorities say.
One focus of the criminal investigation is examining whether nonpublic information was passed along by independent analysts and consultants who work for companies that provide "expert network" services to hedge funds and mutual funds. These companies set up meetings and calls with current and former managers from hundreds of companies for traders seeking an investing edge.

Sailajanath insists on Special Status to AP - Tv9
Wed, Sep 07, 2016, 01:57 PM
Former minister and Congress leader Sailajanath insisted that Andhra Pradesh (AP) should get Special Status Category and nothing less. The special package being proposed by the Centre is nothing but diversionary tactics, he said. The people will not accept it. Special Status would automatically bring in industries and improve employment, he added. He also condemned the decision to make Vijayawada as railway zone, instead of Visakhapatnam.

Writers for E's Fashion Police are going on strike two weeks after filing a complaint that could result in the cable TV network having to pay more than $1 million collars in back wages.
The strike against both E! and Rugby Productions -- the production company of Fashion Police star Joan Rivers -- is sanctioned by the Writers Guild of America, whose East and West branches urged members not to work on the program.
"This is very simple," said Fashion Police writer Ned Rice. "We have earned the right to be a Guild show, we deserve to be a Guild show, and we want to be a Guild show. The ball is clearly in E! and Rugby's court right now and we're ready to go back to work on Fashion Police just as soon as they sign a WGA contract."

In a story that appeared last week in Flight International and then got legs via Wired, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is going to require Boeing "to demonstrate that certain 787 flight critical domains - digital systems and networks that for the first time will be accessible externally via wireless and other links to airline operations and maintenance systems - cannot be tampered with."
The FAA Special Conditions Notice [Docket No. NM364 Special Conditions No. 25-356-SC] effective 1 February 2008 summary states:
"These special conditions are issued for the Boeing Model 787-8 airplane. This airplane will have novel or unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. These novel or unusual design features are associated with connectivity of the passenger domain computer systems to the airplane critical systems and data networks. For these design features, the applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for protection and security of airplane systems and data networks against unauthorized access. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing standards."
The Notice goes on to state (highlighting mine):
The proposed architecture of the 787 is different from that of existing production (and retrofitted) airplanes. It allows new kinds of passenger connectivity to previously isolated data networks connected to systems that perform functions required for the safe operation of the airplane. Because of this new passenger connectivity, the proposed data network design and integration may result in security vulnerabilities from intentional or unintentional corruption of data and systems critical to the safety and maintenance of the airplane."
Again, the upshot is that the FAA is worried that passengers (or aircraft maintainers) may intentionally or by accident interfere with 787 flight systems, and wants Boeing to prove otherwise.
According to Flight, "Boeing's network architecture for the 787 includes embedded software and electronics used for flight critical control and navigation systems, called the aircraft control domain, as well as for airline business and administrative support, known as the airline information domain."
I wonder if this connectivity issue is one of the reasons for the problems with 787 software that Boeing was having a few months ago.

Detailed Description:
This study is looking at whether functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can see if and when the brain responds to pressure stimulations of the eardrum. The study requires 2 visits, 1 for screening to determine eligibility and 1 for the fMRI. This study will help to understand how the middle ear system is controlled, which may have an impact on how people with middle ear disease are treated.

Other: changing ear canal pressure
ear canal pressure changes: pressure varied from +/-40 decapascals
Detailed Description:
Otitis media is a ubiquitous disease in young children which can persist through adolescence, and arise or recur in adults. A consequence of an infection and/or Eustachian tube dysfunction, it manifests as an effusion that disrupts the normal impedance matching function of tympanic membrane-ossicular chain system. Eustachian tube dysfunction prevents the equilibration of middle ear pressures and drainage of the accumulated effusion. It is thought that middle ear status modulates the function of the Eustachian tube via afferent signals processed centrally resulting in changes in its tonus or muscular function. This pilot study of right-handed 21-35 year olds of either sex will validate a published fMRI method for visualizing cortical brain activation in response to external ear canal pressure changes (N=5). The outcome measure is intensity changes of the cortex associated with applied stimuli.

DADE CITY — Tim Saylor's biggest football memory had been a blocked punt he made in a middle school game. The ball bounced off him and into the end zone resulting in a safety for a two-point win.
Now he'll have a better story to tell his grandkids one day.
On a night when Pasco's defense proved crucial, Saylor's block on a North Marion extra point proved huge in a 13-12 win in a Class 3A region final.
Pasco (12-1) will host Tallahassee Godby next week in a state semifinal, marking the Pirates' second trip to the final four. The last Pasco team did it in 1992, finishing 14-0 to win the 3A title.
"It's kind of one of those moments," Pasco coach Tom McHugh said. "I never thought it would have been possible. I told the kids they are a special group of kids at a special time, and they're overachieving."
That certainly could be said of Saylor. He said once the ball was snapped the kid in front of him simply moved aside to block someone else. Saylor slipped through the hole and smothered the kick attempt by Colts senior Braden Camire to maintain a 7-6 lead in the second quarter.
Pasco's coaches had stressed the little things, and they had plenty of proof that even the smallest details could have big ramifications. Pasco had experienced the sting of an 18-17 loss to Nature Coast, a loss that came down to the Sharks punching in a two-point conversion late. Pasco then experienced jubilation after Gulf missed an extra-point attempt in the first meeting, a 21-20 Pirates victory.
"Special teams is a huge thing," McHugh said. "We won a game by one, we lost a game by one and we won another one by one. …They never gave up. That was the difference."
Also crucial was the defense, which forced six turnovers.
As North Marion (9-4) struggled to retake the lead in the second half, the Pirates' defense, which has allowed a mere 12.08 points per game, forced three turnovers on North Marion's final three possessions. The final blow came when Pasco senior Jarrod Carmody stripped North Marion running back Eddie Rocker (25 carries, 117 yards) and recovered the fumble with one minute, 40 seconds left to seal the victory.
"We have 11 guys on defense that play to the whistle as hard as we can play," McHugh said. "We were overmatched physically. Those guys were strong. …You have to want it more than you fear it."
Pasco opened the game with a huge surge of energy thanks to senior Josh Johnson intercepting Chuckie Looney. That set up a 10-yard touchdown run by Jamaal Sampson. Looney finally connected with receiver Jordan Fulford in the second quarter for a 36-yard touchdown, but the Colts trailed 7-6 after Saylor's block.
In the third quarter, Pasco kicker Brennan Allen nailed a huge 45-yarder for a 10-6 lead. The Colts answered for a 12-10 North Marion lead after another failed kick, this one simply too short.
"It feels great," Johnson said. "I never thought we would go this far. I've never been this far in my life. Every time in baseball I get stuck (in the region final). This feels great."

Adventure Time – "From Bad to Worse" Recap
While this episode's plot and setting is something the writers have done before (just like last week's episode), they really have fun with the zombie theme on a level they didn't really achieve with the first episode, "Slumber Party Panic". That episode didn't really do much with the zombies and simply used them as a generic crisis that could have been anything. This episode felt like it was consciously made to be a take on zombie movies, as shown by the acknowledgment of standard clichés like the obligatory "character does something really stupid to get themselves infected" scene that appears near the end. There's also Lumpy Space Princess, who manages
to be the highlight of an episode as always, moving the plot along while staying in character (something I wish Lady Rainicorn had done throughout the episode, too).
I just love the growing sense of dread throughout the episode
as the setting gets more and more claustrophobic, and the situation just gets progressively more dangerous. The really tense cinematography (especially the scene at the very beginning) and eerie electronic score really helps to create a scary atmosphere. The writers do some really creative, clever stuff with the premise, such as Jake's way of fighting off his zombie infection and the twist ending that solves the whole problem. While it was surprising, it was also cleverly telegraphed from the very beginning. "From Bad to Worse" is Adventure Time at its best: hilarious, creative, and a little bit deranged.

Britain's Culture Minister Jeremy Hunt defied government legal advice by communicating privately with
Josef Ackermann bowed out as the chief executive of Deutsche Bank after more than a decade in which he transformed the institution into a global contender. Mr Ackermann passed his responsibilities to two people who will run the bank in tandem. Anshu Jain, a native of India who has been in charge of Deutsche Bank's investment banking operations, will serve as co-chief executive with Jürgen Fitschen, a German whose title is head of Deutsche Bank regional management. Under Mr Ackermann, the stock has ridden a roller-coaster, peaking above €100, in 2007 but falling below €20 in 2009. On Thursday, European time the shares closed at €29.09 on the DAX index.

The Syrian government said its preliminary investigation into the massacre of 108 civilians in the village of Houla proved that security forces were not responsible. The announcement came as Houla residents reported being targeted by renewed mortar and heavy machine-gun fire from Syrian army positions, and activists said as many as 15 factory workers had been executed at a Syrian army checkpoint. A UN statement blamed the Syrian government for the deaths, signalling the harshest international condemnation of President Bashar Assad's regime since the uprising against his rule began 14 months ago.

We pay our lying politicians too much.
No we don't. They deserve more because that attracts the best people.
No, it doesn't. They're just professional spinners who rort the system and entrench factional fiefdoms.
No, they don't. They have great ideas and work bloody hard.
No, they don't. Ever tried caring for a sick child on $30,000 a year?
Yes, the jury is out on a 20 per cent pay rise for Australian politicians.
So there's only one solution: let juries decide how much we pay our MPs.
The Remuneration Tribunal is about to give backbenchers a base salary rise from $140,000 to $180,000-plus, with the Prime Minister set for a $90,000 rise to $473,000.
Appointed by the governor-general, the three-member tribunal of part-time members – Ausgrid chairman
Unlike corporate executives, there is no three-strike rule for politicians. No remuneration report for voters to consider; just a yay or nay from Parliament.
Most members of Parliament are refusing to comment on their likely pay rise and many have argued that voters pass judgment at elections anyway.
But elections are a blunt instrument and come too rarely to turf out the non-performers who are often only there because of favours they did for powerful mates.
The current system is also short on incentives for members to perform better – other than by pursuing leadership jobs with the moral hazard of "whatever it takes".
In seeking a pay-setting solution, we don't really want to give other MPs the chance to point-score against political rivals.
Neither do we have the
A better solution can utilise a cornerstone of egalitarianism: that you deserve to be judged by a jury of your peers.
In the new model, MPs, party members and political science students will be barred from jury selection, just as legal practitioners and law students are in the court system.
Most voters will do pollie jury duty at some time.
We empanel a series of discrete juries which, under direction from a pollie pay commissioner, decide cases by majority (10 of 12 or three of four) verdict.
One jury determines base pay rises/falls for all MPs and the size of the bonus pool available for incentive payments that year.
In what amounts to a National Pollies Wage Case hearing, the MPs nominate one of their kind to defend their case, while a prosecutor (perhaps an ombudsman/auditor-general type) argues the case against the MPs.
The second jury sits every three years to review MP perks and set the percentage pay premium for special jobs MPs hold, such as prime minister (now 160 per cent), leader of the opposition (85 per cent), or committee membership.
Crucially, to build in greater incentives and long-termism, half the premium for each MP will have to be vested for six years or two elections, whichever comes first.
The third part of the scheme is a set of juries, which sit each year to rule whether the performance of specific MPs demands a pay cut or bonus.
This is crucial because, as everyone knows but will not admit in public, a fair whack of our lower house members – and even more senators who are there purely thanks to above-the-line voting – are just party-linked nodding dogs in safe seats whose re-election is guaranteed no matter their performance.
Under the jury system, voters can submit positive and negative comments to the prosecutor, who argues the case against the MP in a jury hearing presided over by a tribunal commissioner.
Prosecutor: Is it true you missed 10 sitting days and when you did turn up you just heckled the other side, toed the party line and never offered one unique idea?
MP: But we're ahead in the opinion polls!
The jury hearings will be short except where an MP has bludged or lied or wants to argue they have performed above and beyond the call of duty.
The pollies can call witnesses arguing for a bonus, with the commissioner directing the jury to take into account the MP's pre-parliamentary salary, life experience, great ideas turned into legislation, charity work, as well as brave actions such as crossing the floor, challenging the party leader or sticking to the topic during question time.
The incentive is for MPs to perform better and for parties to choose better candidates.
Politicians' pay will more closely reflect community expectations and Australians will feel greater ownership of a system that too often feeds professional party hacks and lacks transparency.

Each week, we offer a roundup of the best literary events in the city. All events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted. Want to submit an upcoming event for consideration? Go here.
Geoff Dyer (Zona: A Book About a Film About a Journey to a Room)
Wednesday, March 14, 7 pm, at Tosca (242 Columbus Ave.)
Litquake only comes once a year, but the folks behind the festival are looking to spread the wealth with a new monthly series at historic Tosca, which will generally take place the last Tuesday of each month. This month, however, brings a bonus round: noted British essayist and novelist Geoff Dyer, whose latest work is a book-length analysis of Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 film Stalker. The space is limited to 75 folks and will fill up, so get there early; if you can't make this event, Adam Johnson will also read on the 27th.
Ben Hellwarth (Sealab: America's Forgotten Quest to Live and Work on the Ocean Floor)
Friday, March 16, 7 pm, at Books Inc. Berkeley (1760 4th St.)
Saturday, March 17, 1 pm, at Book Passage Corte Madera (51 Tamal Vista Blvd.)
In the midst of the 1960s space race, the U.S. had its sights on not only the moon, but the ocean floor as well. Though divers at the time had strict depth limits and could stay underwater for only minutes, the Navy pushed forward, exploring exactly how deep and how long they could stay underwater. The results have inspired both explorers like Jacques Cousteau and the professional divers that now work on oil rigs, even as the program was neglected by the government and eventually ended in tragedy. The first book from longtime Bay Area reporter Hellwarth (who now lives in Pennsylvania), Sealab is equal parts historical record and gripping thriller.
Jennifer duBois (A Partial History of Lost Causes)
Tuesday, March 20, 7:30 pm, at The Booksmith (1644 Haight St.)
Booksmith is hosting the launch event for the first novel from Stegner alumna and current Stanford teacher duBois, which is already garnering praise for its 28-year-old scribe. The book intertwines the stories of Irina Ellison, a professor dealing with the onset of the Huntington's disease that killed her father, and Aleksandr Bezetov, a Russian chess champion who decides to launch a doomed presidential campaign against Vladimir Putin. Faced with equally lost causes, the pair become linked by a long-lost letter written to Bezetov by Ellison's father.
Jeanette Winterson (Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?)
Saturday, March 17, 7 pm, at Book Passage Corte Madera (51 Tamal Vista Blvd.)
Popular novelist Winterson (above) has made her first entry into the world of memoir. Her new book focuses on her strict religious upbringing in an adoptive family (a theme also explored in her autobiographical Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit), and explores how she survived abuse to put herself through Oxford University and seek happiness. Universally acclaimed in the U.K., Why Be Happy is now making its first appearance Stateside.
And a bonus event (literature meets dinner):
Litquake Fundraiser at Jardinière
Monday, March 19, 5-10 pm, at Jardinière (300 Grove St.)
If you're a fan of Litquake and want to support the festival, consider dining at Jardinière next Monday, when the restaurant will serve a three-course repast inspired by the recipes of storied food writer M.F.K. Fisher. The $59 menu includes beef tartare, quail a la financière, and ambrosia, with wine pairings, and $10 from each meal sold will go directly to Litquake. (A vegetarian menu is also available.) The Litquake staff will also announce the winner of the 2012 Barbary Coast Award: Poetry Flash, the Bay Area-based literary journal that's been promoting local writers since 1972.

Reports of Chris Cohan's intent to sell the Warriors seemed too good to be true even before team president Robert Rowell doused them with denial. Still, they got a body to thinking: One, where's the party if such a sale ever comes to pass? And two, what would Cohan's legacy be? How would he stack up against other owners and groups who have bankrolled Bay Area franchises in the four major sports?
There have been two dozen, including the Morabito brothers (who founded the 49ers, the first major league franchise on the West Coast), Charlie Finley (who owned both the A's and the California Golden Seals), and Pat Boone (yes, the crooner, whose Oakland Oaks of the old ABA won the Bay Area's first pro championship).
Every bar stool debate requires criteria. Here's ours: Huge points for championships. Semi-huge points for locating a team here (or saving it from leaving). Large points for reaching the championship game/series, frequent playoff appearances and sustained regular-season success. Points off for long-term ineptitude and chronically ineffectual management. Huge points off for relocating a team outside the Bay Area (or trying to).
Here's how we rank 'em:
1. Eddie DeBartolo (49ers, 1977-2000).
A literal dynasty maker, his tenure here is known for big victories, big personalities, big salaries and big parties. Every sports town should have an Eddie D. at some point.
Highlight: Five Super Bowl championships. Lowlight: The guilty plea to a felony charge that signaled the end to an unforgettable party.
2. Walter Haas (A's, 1980-95).
Understatedly classy, sensibly benevolent, Haas delivered A's fans from the outrageous Finley years and ushered in an era of stability and success.
Highlight: Three consecutive American League pennants from 1988-90. Lowlight: Health problems that forced Haas to sell the team.
3. Charlie Finley (A's, 1968-80).
Part carnival barker, part snake-oil salesman, part grumpy old man, part eccentric genius. There will never be another like him (and probably shouldn't be).
Highlight: Consecutive World Series championships from 1972-74 (by a whisker over his Hot Pants Day promotion). Lowlight: Allowing his best players to become free agents rather than pay them fair market value.
4. Al Davis (Raiders, 1966-present).
Love him, really, really love him, hate him, or really, really hate him, you can't take your eyes off him.
Highlight: An unimaginably entertaining 15-year run of success from 1966-80. Lowlight: The current six-year run of abject failure that threatens to tarnish his legacy as one of sports' great visionaries.
5. Peter Magowan-organized investor group (Giants, 1992-present).
Even if you could imagine the Giants remaining in San Francisco long-term after the 1992 season, it was difficult to imagine them being a very good team. Almost overnight, they were both.
Highlight: Building a gorgeous ballpark for a team that almost moved to Florida. Lowlight: Allowing Barry Bonds to wag the dog.
6. Franklin Mieuli (Warriors, 1962-86).
He brought the team west from Philadelphia, hung an ornate chandelier in the Cow Palace, traded Wilt Chamberlain and won an NBA title, all while wearing a deerstalker cap. We're still waiting for the Warriors owner who can duplicate even one of those feats.
Highlight: The unexpected 1974-75 NBA championship. Lowlight: Allowing Rick Barry to bolt to the ABA.
7. Bob Lurie (Giants, 1975-92).
He saved the Giants from moving to Toronto, then endeavored to pack them off to Florida. Well-meaning, earnest, sincere — history will remember him kindly.
Highlight: The 1989 World Series, at least until the ground started shaking. Lowlight: Four failed ballpark votes leading to his attempt to sell the team to St. Petersburg investors.
8. Horace Stoneham (Giants, 1958-75).
Pretty darned good owner until he started running out of cash.
Highlight: The '60s, featuring five homegrown future Hall of Famers and more wins than any other National League team. Lowlight: Selling parts for money during the early '70s.
9. Tony and Victor Morabito (succeed by widows Josephine [1957] and Elizabeth [1964]) (49ers, 1946-77).
They didn't win championships and rarely made the playoffs. But their 49ers were generally exciting even when they weren't very good.
Highlight: Consecutive playoff appearances from 1970-72. Lowlight: Being eliminated by Dallas on each occasion.
10. San Jose Sports and Entertainment Enterprises (Sharks, 2002-present).
Unwieldy name for the investors who have created a place for hockey in the Bay Area's busy sports landscape.
Highlight: The NHL's second-best record over the past five regular seasons. Lowlight: The playoffs that have followed each of those seasons.
11. Jim Fitzgerald/Dan Finnane (Warriors, 1986-94).
They turned the team into something everyone wanted to watch, and the business into a place everyone wanted to work.
Highlight: Five playoff appearances in eight years. Lowlight: Granting Chris Cohan an option to purchase the team.
12. Steve Schott/Ken Hofmann (A's, 1995-2005).
They had a tough act (in Haas) to follow, and struggled at first. But they grew into the job, rebuilt the A's into a contender and can look with satisfaction upon their time with the team.
Highlight: Four consecutive playoff appearances on a thrifty budget. Lowlight: Four consecutive first-round ousters (all in decisive Game 5s).
13. George and Gordon Gund (Sharks, 1991-2002).
It was only fitting they returned the NHL to the Bay Area, given that George was a minority partner in the group that shipped the California Golden Seals off to Cleveland.
Highlight: Acquiring defenseman Doug Wilson, now the general manager and as ever the face of the franchise. Lowlight: The 17-game losing streak during the team's second season.
14. Pat Boone (Oaks, 1967-69).
He and two partners paid $30,000 for a start-up franchise in the fledgling ABA. Two years later, they sold it for $2.6 million. The stories and memories generated in the interim: Priceless.
Highlight: Filching Rick Barry from the Warriors, and using him to help win the 1968-69 ABA title. Lowlight: Selling the team to a Washington, D.C. investor almost before the championship celebration was over.
15. Denise and John York (49ers, 2000-present).
Call them the anti-Eddies — little intuition for the game, no feel for theatrics, no stomach for largesse. Just gnawing echoes of the way things used to be.
Highlight: Advancing to the second round of the 2002 playoffs. Lowlight: Sacking coach Steve Mariucci four days after losing that game.
16. Barry van Gerbig (Seals, 1966-70).
His background as a goalie at Princeton, stockholder in cash cows Union Carbide and Standard Oil of New Jersey, and socialite whose orbit included the likes of Bing Crosby and John Brodie seemed to make him a perfect candidate to oversee an NHL expansion team.
Highlight: A 14-win improvement from the team's first year to its second. Lowlight: A 13-game winless streak to end the first season.
17. Lew Wolff/John Fisher (A's, 2005-present).
Is it our imagination, or have they spent more on development plans and environmental impact reports than they have on payroll?
Highlight: A trip to the 2006 ALCS (the team's first since 1990). Lowlight: Ham-handed efforts to move the team to ABO (Anywhere But Oakland).
18. Chris Cohan (Warriors, 1994-present).
He compares unfavorably to the aforementioned, but read on — it could be worse.
Highlight: The upset of Dallas in the first round of the 2007 playoffs. Lowlight: Pretty much everything that preceded and has followed that series.
19. Wayne Valley/Ed McGah (Raiders, 1961-66).
Troopers in the fight to make the AFL a legitimate challenger to the NFL.
Highlight: Hiring Al Davis as head coach after the 1962 season. Lowlight: Seasons of 2-12 and 1-13 that made Davis' hiring necessary.
20. Charles Soda partnership (Raiders, 1960).
Hey, the dream had to start somewhere.
Highlight: Establishing Oakland's first major league sports franchise. Lowlight: Franchise-inaugurating 15-point home loss to Houston.
21. Mel Swig (Seals, 1975-76).
The last entrepreneur to take a whack at the Seals before concluding the NHL was a concept that didn't fly in the Bay Area.
Highlight: The "3M" scoring line of Dennis Maruk, Bob Murdoch and Al MacAdam. Lowlight: Bubble-wrapping the team and mailing it to Ohio.
22. Charlie Finley (Seals, 1971-74).
Apparently the care and feeding of World Series champions wasn't enough to satisfy Finley's competitive jones. He believed he could conquer hockey as well, with predictable results and unintentional hilarity all around.
Highlight: First NHL team to put player names on the back of sweaters. Lowlight: Finley sat on his hands while a conga line of his charges jumped to the rival WHA.
23. NHL (Seals, 1974-1975).
When local investors could not be found, the league stepped in and operated the Seals. We didn't say willingly, or well.
Highlight: Retired Finley's white skates (players complained they blended with the ice, especially on TV, making it appear they were skating on stumps). Lowlight: Heralding 18-year-old defenseman Rick Hampton as the next Bobby Orr.
24. Transnational Communications (Seals, 1970).
These folks make Cohan look like Walter O'Malley-times-Google.
Highlight: Having Pat Summerall and Whitey Ford as part-owners. Lowlight: Declaring bankruptcy in the first season of ownership.

Is Sylvester Stallone Prepping to Write, Direct and Star in HUNTER?
A few years ago Sylvester Stallone was excited about making a fifth Rambo film that would include the character hunting down a government created, genetically engineered creature in the Pacific Northwest. The idea for the movie actually came from a book called Hunter written by James Byron Huggins. Stallone has owned the rights to this book for years, and at one point thought it would make a great new adventure for Rambo explaining,
The film will be set in the Pacific Northwest. Back in the general area where we first were introduced to John. It seems that somewhere in that Area there is a U.S. Military installation that is doing experiments on elite soldiers as part of some sort of program where they're attempting to tap into that savagery that we have deeply embedded into us. The plan is create brilliantly instinctual killer soldiers that have no qualms about taking life. Sly brought up the ancient Immortals, which were cartoonishly glimpsed in 300. In reality, they were children trained from the time they were infants to kill.
Well as happens with Government Experiments to create the perfect killer - it goes exceptionally well... and then exceptionally badly. And Rambo is brought in with a Black Ops squad ("Like in PREDATOR") to hunt, capture or kill this worse than Rambo killer.
The project obviously never moved forward. Now it looks like the action star is ready to move forward on the story again. According to an article found on Yahoo!,
He is reportedly in talks with Lionsgate to try and get the films in theaters in 2014. Stallone is slated to be involved as a scriptwriter, actor and director for the 3D-slated movie.
This time around it won't include the Rambo character. The version he's developing now will be a straight adaptation of the book, in which Stallone would play an elite hunter named Nathaniel Hunter who is hired by the US military to hunt down a terrifying predator spawned by secret experiments in the Arctic Circle.
This sounds like it would make for a great movie, but it doesn't really fit in the world of Rambo. I'm looking forward to seeing what Stallone does with it! What do you think about this film project?
Here's a description from the book:
Nathaniel Hunter could track anyone -- or anything -- on earth. Now the military desperately needs him for a mission that his ultrasensitive instincts tell him he should refuse. A beast is loose somewhere north of the Arctic Circle. It has already decimated a secret research facility and annihilated a squad of elite military guards. And the raging creature is headed south toward civilization, ready to wreak bloody devastation.
It's a job that Hunter can't turn down, but he soon discovers that his prey is terror incarnate, a half-human abomination created by a renegade agency through a series of outlawed genetic experiments. It has man's cunning, a predator's savageness, and a prehistoric power that has transcended the ages. And even if Hunter survives its unrelenting hunger for human blood, he'll still have to confront the grim reality that it may have grown immortal.

You have always wanted to lead a simple life in the province and
raise your own food. You are slowly accomplishing such a feat
because you now how chickens and cows on your own farm. The next
thing that you are eyeing on is to learn more about pig rearing. You
want to start by
raising pigs for food, but eventually, you aim to
make a profitable business out of this.
This is the reason why you are very persistent in knowing everything
that you can get your hands on about
pig rearing. All the
information that you are gathering about pig rearing actually get
you more excited about the venture. You already have learned that
pigs are intelligent animals, so must pay extra attention of their
housing and the fencing that you need to enclose it with. This way,
you won't lose them easily. It is also uplifting to know that pigs
are generally clean animals. They don't defecate and urinate on what
they consider as their sleeping quarters. You have to give them
space where they can do these activities. You also have to make sure
that they area where they will nest is always dry and there is
sufficient hay in it at all times.
For the basic
pig rearing purpose, the shelter must be big enough
for the animals to be able to roam even when they get bigger. Aside
from the bedding, the area must have a feeder and water trough and
you need to give them space that will serve as the bathroom.
If you aim to get your pigs reach the weight of 200 pounds, you need
to allot about 700 pounds of food for each pig. For starters, you
can begin by caring for two pigs to give them competition when it
comes to food. This way, each one will be engaged to eat and this
will help them become bigger at a faster rate.
Pigs also love treats every once in a while. You can give the
animals fruits or vanilla wafers as snacks. You just have to make
sure that they aren't overfed, or else you have to exert effort in
walking them on a leash to help them get rid of the excess weight
that they have gained.

Breast Cancer
Calcification in breast
Had a mammogram in Nov. 2007, was notified to come back for a second mammogram Jan. 2008, due to breast calcifications. Second mammogram had same views performed, was told to come back in 6 months. Should I be worried that I did not have a biopsy done at this time? Is it typical to go get a second opinion? I read that this being the first time noticed and only being in one breast, for this to be more of a pre-cancerous condition. Could this develop fast over the next 6 months? How does calcium deposits turn into a form of cancer? Will I always have this or will it eventually disappear?
Most breast calcifications are benign. They do not disappear. If you were scheduled for a follow-up mammogram in 6 months, then the Radiologist believes that these calcifications are benign. Under these circumstances, the radiologist is correct 98-99.5% of the time. You need the 6 month mammogram to detect if there is any change in the calcifications. If there is a change, then you would be scheduled for a biopsy at that time. Usually any growth is slow.
The radiologists are occasionally wrong and find out that the calcifications are due to cancer. This occurs only 0.5-2% of the time.

By Lorae Vardas, Correspondent
Pierz School District Superintendent George Weber is concerned about health care reform and its possible impact on teacher negotiations. "We received rather startling news last week from our flex administrator," he told the Board at the Nov. 20 meeting.
"She notified us that according to recent IRS interpretations of one of the provisions of the new Affordable Care Act, there will be no allowing of pretax flex dollars that could pay for health insurance premiums other than the one plan the employer offers," said Weber.
Weber said this IRS interpretation, effective Jan. 1, 2014, applies not only to educational institutions, but all companies and every employee in the country. "It seems like this would be a front page story," he said, indicating that he has been in contact with area elected officials, including Cong. Rick Nolan's office.
Because it is an IRS matter, the change indirectly impacts teacher negotiations. Thus far, the board negotiation committee has completed three or four rounds of discussions with union leaders, he explained. "Our challenges are that we will have some increases in health insurance, in addition to the changes to what we can offer staff based upon the National Health Care Reform Act."
Despite the flex insurance restrictions, Weber is optimistic about a timely settlement. "We all have a vested interest in making our salary schedule attractive for high quality teachers and retaining our best teachers," he told the board. "I am confident we will reach a compromise that is a good outcome for the district and our teaching staff."
In related action, the Board ratified a two-year master agreement with the Pierz educational support professionals. The salary package for 2013-2015 gives a 2 percent increase in year one and another 2 percent increase in year two. They also receive a small increase in the district's contribution to health insurance to help offset higher premium costs.
Pierz School Board Briefs
In other agenda items at the November 20 meeting, the Pierz School Board:
• Approved for posting the 2013-2014 faculty seniority list of the district's 79 teachers, which is headed by Patricia Niosi, speech pathologist since 1973. Also approved was the Pierz Education Assistants' seniority list and the roster of volunteer coaches for the 2013-2014 school year;
• Accepted a donation of $500 from the Little Falls Rodeo for the Washington DC/New York City class trip; and
• Accepted the resignation of Emma Nelson, high school education assistant, and hired Lachelle Brinks as a long-term substitute for School Nurse Rachel Young when she goes on family leave.
Because of the Christmas holiday, the School Board's next monthly meeting was moved to Dec. 18, at 6 p.m. in the Healy High Board Room. The annual Truth-in-Taxation public hearing is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. with the final property tax levy to be certified hereafter.

Romance is in the air, I can feel it in my bones. My chocolate-covered chicken bones. It all started last week when I had houseguests on the way and nary a homemade confection to nestle upon their pillows during turndown service. One half of the visiting couple is particularly stringent about his food being unprocessed, thus something from (chicken) scratch was in order.
I thought about chocolate-covered strawberries, but after a day of travel, when I hit the pillow, I'm looking for a little more excitement. I opened the refrigerator to gain inspiration, and the package of chicken feet I had slated for stock sat front and center. I contemplated the diaphanous digits, and suddenly one of them curled inward, beckoning me to come hither.
As any logician would do at that moment, I came up with what you see here: chocolate-covered chipotle chicken feet. This classic dish walks the line of tradition and modernism with the sure feet of a ballerina. Or it would if it was alive. My timing couldn't be better, since this is a natural play-it-safe choice for Valentine's Day dessert. Imagine gazing deeply into your lover's eyes, while both of you suck hungrily on sinew, gristle, and chocolate. There is no greater aphrodisiac.
These chicken feet double as nipple pasties, lest you be inclined to greet your sweetheart with a tantalizing tongueful of edible lingerie. And if you're planning to pop the question anytime soon, know that popping champagne is so last year compared to popping chocolate-drenched knuckles into your mouths to celebrate.
The method is simple and it starts with a pedicure. Chickens, like humans, deserve the dignity of a little pampering (plus their toenails impart bitterness). In addition to clipping off their nails, give the pads of the feet a good buffing with a vegetable brush; channel the gals at the nail salon. Then put them in the pressure cooker with just enough water to cover them, along with half a cup of maple syrup (exfoliating), quarter cup of hoisin sauce* (moisturizing), and two tablespoons of cider vinegar (astringent).
Bring the pressure cooker to temperature on high, and then adjust the heat on the stove so steam emits in a steady stream for 30 minutes. Turn the heat off and allow the steam to escape naturally before opening the cooker. At this point, pour one inch duck fat or canola oil in the bottom of a deep pan and heat it to 375°F. Remove the chicken feet from the pressure cooker, pat dry and deep fry until golden and crispy, about one minute.
All that's left now is to coat the feet in melted, tempered (if you wish) chocolate, and once it hardens, dip each toe in powdered chipotle pepper or paprika. If you don't like spice, you may dip the toes in salt instead, of course the final presentation is a little more redolent of a certain other white powder you found on fingernails quite commonly during the clubby 1980's.
In honor of the season of romance, I'll say goodbye with a short ode:
Chocolate chicken
You're the chipot to my le
This Valentine's Day

Wings Financial Applies for State Charter to Combat Airline Unemployment
In an online letter (www.wingsfinancial.com) the $2.1 billion Apple Valley, Minn.-based credit union said employment in the air transportation industry is down 24% since 2001. Wings Financial said by converting to a state charter, it would open membership up to the 13 county Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota area. Nearly 50% of its 125,000 members live or work in the two metropolitan regions. Wings Financial was chartered in 1938 to serve Northwest Airlines.
Wings Financial mailed out ballots to members, which were due back by Aug. 27. The state charter application has been approved by both the state of Minnesota and the NCUA, Wings Financial said. The vote to convert requires a count of all mail and in-person ballots cast.
"If members voted against the conversion by ballot, the state vote would become irrelevant. If the ballot vote passes, then we would conduct a vote of the members present at the special meeting to determine whether or not we would adopt the Minnesota state charter," Wings Financial wrote.
The Minnesota state statute, which requires two-thirds of members present at the meeting to vote in favor of a proposal, will not become Wings Financial's new method of deciding initiatives that require a member vote. The statute's voting requirement applies only to the charter conversion. Future questions requiring a member vote whether in person or by mail ballot would be conducted in accordance with credit union bylaws, which call for the use of Roberts Rules of Order. Most member votes would require a majority vote of all members voting.
Meanwhile, employment reduction in the air transportation industry "could present challenges for Wings in the long-term," the credit union said.
Wings Financial said its board of directors looked at several options for long-term growth before deciding on maintaining both its service to the air transportation industry and potentially expanding beyond that field. In 2004, the credit union was approved for a trade, industry and profession charter. Wagner said 40,000 members have joined since the TIP charter.
According to June 30 NCUA financial performance data, the credit union's membership growth rate was 4.08% as of June 2008, went up to 4.22% in September 2008 but then dropped to 3.88% in December of that year. This year, Wings Financial's membership growth rate continued to decrease at 1.06% in March 2009, which was behind its peer average of 3.90%. In June, the credit union's slide continued on at 0.72% compared to its peer average of 4.66%.

NEW YORK (Aug. 5)
The Zionist Organization of America announced today that Dr. Mikhail Zand, the Russian-born Jewish scholar who withstood intensive Soviet harassment in his ultimately successful attempt to emigrate to Israel, will address its national convention next month in Pittsburgh. Dr. Zand, who will be making his first visit to the United States, will speak on the plight of Soviet Jewry at the convention's opening session on Sept. 2 and again at a public affairs program Sept. 4. The 44-year-old scholar in Oriental languages had been a professor at the Institute for Eastern Studies in Moscow until his participation in a sit-in for Soviet Jews last March resulted in his arrest and imprisonment. Dr. Zand has continued as a forceful spokesman for Soviet Jewry since coming to Israel. He says Soviet Jews now seeking to emigrate regard themselves as "an inseparable part of the Jewish people." Speakers previously announced for the ZOA convention, the organization's 74th, include Israel Ambassador Yitzhak Rabin and Ehud Avriel, chairman of the Zionist Actions Committee of the World Zionist Organization.

PHILADELPHIA — The first, second and third basemen are all the same, as is the shortstop. So are the catcher and the right- and centerfielders.
It's only in leftfield the Phillies made a change from the team that won last year's World Series and the one that will try to do so again starting Wednesday.
Pat Burrell is with the Rays now, replaced by Raul Ibanez.
And the Phillies say they are better for it.
"It's worked out for us," said shortstop Jimmy Rollins, the most veteran Phillie. "Definitely. It has definitely worked out for us."
At the time, Phillies officials said it was a difficult decision to part ways with Burrell, who'd become something of the face of the franchise after 11 years.
And a somewhat curious one to replace him with Ibanez, who was 4 years older (36 at the time), who was left-handed when they really wanted a right-handed bat to balance their lineup, who had never played in a major market or the National League and who wasn't any kind of bargain, getting a three-year, $31.5 million deal.
Now, it looks like a brilliant move, as Ibanez delivered a spectacular season, hitting .272 with 34 homers and 93 RBIs, carrying the team early and making his first All-Star appearance.
"He's one of the reasons why we're in the postseason. He's one of the reasons why we won our division," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "He's been tremendous. … He's had a big year for us. He's definitely made us better. He's made us a better team."
And that's without factoring in how much smarter they look given how poorly Burrell played for the Rays.
After getting a two-year, $16 million deal from the Rays, a significant cut from the $14 million he made in Philadelphia in 2008, Burrell had a .221 average (lowest among all American Leaguers with at least 475 plate appearance), 14 homers (all against right-handed pitching) and 63 RBIs.
Phillies officials say politely that they are surprised Burrell did so poorly, that they in no way foresaw such a dropoff. They attribute it to the same things the Rays did: the change in leagues and in jobs (from playing leftfield every day to DH), maybe to the neck problem that bothered him in May.
"I thought he'd do fine down there," senior adviser Pat Gillick said. "Guys switch leagues, you never know. Some guys it doesn't affect, other guys get a little psyched out about it — they don't know the pitchers, etc. … I thought he'd have a better year."
"There's some adjustments to be made there, but I think he'll be back to play well," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro said. "Hopefully he'll get it going again for him, for his sake."
Between the difference in their offensive production, and the improvement in defense and baserunning — "Raul's a better athlete," Manuel said — Phillies officials feel the decisions accomplished their goal.
"We just felt like we were going to get a little better," Amaro said.
Burrell's former teammates don't want to say whether it was as right of a move as it appears.
"I can't say it's the right move," Rollins said. "It's not a wrong move. It was really just a business decision."
"That's probably not a fair question," rightfielder Jayson Werth said. "Pat always will be missed around here, but, that said, we made a great addition with Raul Ibanez. He filled a great void not only in leftfield but in the clubhouse."
Though Burrell is gone from the roster, his presence persists in the Phillies clubhouse. At least three players, Werth, catcher Carlos Ruiz and reserve Greg Dobbs, have small posters of Burrell hung at their lockers and speak glowingly of the impact he had.
"I have a great amount of respect for him as a person — he gave me solid advice and was a great role model and example for me," Dobbs said. "It's my way to honor him."
"I think he's left his mark on this town and this team and he'll be forever missed," Werth said. "He's one of a kind. There's nobody else out there like Pat Burrell — in a good sense."
"Everyone knows what Pat meant to this team," Rollins said.
The Phillies honored Burrell when the Rays came to Philadelphia for preseason exhibitions, showing a video tribute soundtracked to I Want to Know What Love Is and giving out the souvenir cards. He was also invited back for their World Series ring ceremony and got a huge ovation.
But that hospitality has its bounds, as Burrell hasn't been — and likely won't be — part of their official postseason pomp and circumstance. They've had ceremonial first pitches thrown out by other former stars such as Darren Daulton, Geoff Jenkins, John Kruk and Mickey Morandini. Burrell, playing in a charity golf tournament this weekend in Arizona, declined through the Rays to comment.
"He'll be missed around here, especially in the clubhouse and in the dugout," Werth said. "But, hey, we've got to go with what we've got, and Raul's been a big part of this team this year. I actually can't see this team without him really."
In Philadelphia, that's something they used to say about Burrell. Around Tampa Bay, not so much.

text: Man denies making incriminating statements in rape case By Zac Taylor September 1, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The friend of a Clarksburg man convicted in 2002 of raping an elderly woman in her home said that investigators questioned him while he was nearly blacking out on a drug overdose and later falsely represented his statements to a Harrison County grand jury.In May, the Gazette-Mail reported that Andrew Locke, according to grand jury testimony given by a lead detective on the case, told police that Joseph Buffey had confided in him that he broke into a Clarksburg home and that "things didn't go as planned." Police used Locke's statements in the case against Buffey, who eventually pleaded guilty to charges he broke into the home, and raped an 83-year-old woman identified as "Ms. L."Recent tests indicate that DNA found at the scene of the rape matched an unknown male unique in one in 40 billion profiles and does not match Buffey, indicating that he was not at the scene of the crime the night Ms. L was raped, his lawyers say. The test results have become the driving force in Buffey's effort to reverse his conviction.Locke, an inmate at the Ohio County Correctional Complex, said in a letter to the Gazette-Mail that he, Buffey, and a man named Ronald Perry had burglarized a local Salvation Army the night of the alleged rape, but denied that he told detectives that Buffey left the group later in the evening."The statement about 'things didn't go as planned' was made in regards to the Salvation Army being robbed," Locke said in the letter. "We had broke into the Salvation Army to rob the safe and had only ended up getting nine dollars."According to the grand jury transcript, former Clarksburg Police Detective R.G. Matheny told jurors that Buffey had taken the nine dollars from Ms. L, and attributed that information to Locke.Based on the letter, Buffey's lawyers interviewed Locke, who told them that he had taken a large amount of morphine pills before he was questioned, and that the detectives took him to the hospital after the interrogation. Medical records from the United Hospital Center in Bridgeport corroborated Locke's story, Buffy's lawyer, Sarah Wagner Montoro said in a July court filing. Harrison County assistant prosecutor David J. Romano could not comment on Locke's claims, but said that attacking the specifics of the police investigation distract from the fact that Buffey admitted to the crime in 2002."It's not germane to what this real issue is about," he said. "I think it's a side issue. I don't think it's very significant."Once you plead guilty, all that stuff under the law is no longer material, unless it induced you to plead guilty some how."According to Romano, evidence in the case indicates that Buffey admitted to one investigator during a polygraph exam that he had broken into the Ms. L's home the night she was raped. Perry, one of the accomplices in the Salvation Army break-in, told police that Buffey went off on his own afterward and walked toward the victim's home. Perry also said he was wearing a ball cap backward, blue jeans, and that he had a knife, which matched statements from Ms. L herself as she attempted to describe her assailant, Romano said.Buffey also apologized to the victim and her family during his sentencing hearing in 2002, Romano said.Buffey's lawyers point to the 2011 DNA test, the results of which prosecutors do not dispute, as the most important factor of the appeal considering that Ms. L. never claimed that more than one person raped her."Ultimately, what remains of the state's case is Mr. Buffey's guilty plea and its own faith and correctness of that plea," Montoro said in a court filing, "essentially, the view that 'since he pled guilty, he must somehow be guilty.'

Fat Joe Talks Working With Kanye West on "Pride N Joy"
Fat Joe has been featured on a posse cut or two through the course of his 19-year career, but his recently-leaked, "Pride N Joy" single feels like uncharted territory…even for the Bronx Bomber.
Though the record—featuring Kanye West, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes, Yasiin Bey (Mos Def), DJ Khaled and Roscoe Dash—sounded like a rough draft when premiered by Funkmaster Flex on New York's Hot 97 radio station, Crack assures it's the final version.
"It's the final version unless there's something I don't know about," Joe told XXL. "We did a bunch of shit. Kanye, he mixed that record eight times and he had it in different ways. Like, I got Trey Songz on that shit, Miguel. We had a bunch of niggas on that shit. If niggas really want more versions, I'm sure there's gonna be a remix. I'm sure it's gonna get iller. I love the way it came out."
Despite being billed as a star-studded affair, Yeezy and Roscoe Dash are the only two guests on the forefront of the song. 'Ye trades bars with Joey on the first verse, a la EPMD, while Roscoe handles the hook. The remainder of the guests sing background rather than spit verses as expected. Crack said it was all West's idea.
"There's some other real dope parts of that song that we ain't put on there," Joe reveals. "But, you know, he's Kanye West. He's a genius. He's the best. I argued with him a little, but I let him lead the way, so that's how it is. There's no way in the world you're gonna get everyone to sing on beat. Niggas just said, 'We're not singers.' And he was like, 'That's the dope shit.' We off beat. We ain't no R&B niggas. We singin' that shit off beat."
Joe was particularly amped about one feature on the song.
"I'm honored to work with Kanye of course, but I'ma say the biggest surprise on that record is Mos Def," Crack revealed, about Yasiin Bey's appearance. "I respect that guy a lot. I can't believe he's on a Fat Joe record. [He's about] consciousness, I'm talking about fuckin' bitches."
The Terror Squad general also says finally working with 'Ye is one of the proudest moments of his legendary career.
"Kanye West [is] so validated and considered one of the very best of all time, one of the geniuses, the Berry Gordies, Quincy Joneses, and it was an honor for him to work with me," he explained. "I honestly believe I got another stripe from me workin' with Kanye. And that's hard for me to do 'cause I worked with everybody you can name in the world from LL to Eminem, to everybody."—Carl Chery (@cchery)

An undocumented immigrant who has been living in sanctuary with his wife and son at Southside Presbyterian Church since May 13 has received a stay in his deportation case.
Even as he enjoyed lunch at a nearby restaurant Monday, Daniel Neyoy Ruiz said he couldn't believe he could now safely leave the church grounds and return home.
"I still don't believe it, but I've got the paper here to prove it," he said, reaching for his pocket.
The document, a stay of deportation, means the government has agreed to not enforce the order of removal for one year. In the meantime, Neyoy Ruiz can obtain a work permit and later apply to renew the stay.
Attorney Margo Cowan said she received word midafternoon that Immigration and Customs Enforcement had approved her client's petition. She rushed to the church to share the news.
"When she told me, I just began to cry," Neyoy Ruiz said. "We were all crying there at the church. I'm very happy to be free again and be able to continue living my life."
Cowan said that while she is pleased with the outcome in this case, Neyoy Ruiz represents the thousands of illegal immigrants who are in the United States without legal status.
"This really is a historic moment, and we call on the administration to stop issuing these final orders of removal for people who have earned the right to stay here," she said.
Neyoy Ruiz and his wife, Karla, came to the U.S. in 2000 and have an American-born son who is 13.
His deportation case began in 2011 after he was stopped on Interstate 19 by a state Department of Public Safety officer because his car's exhaust was emitting smoke. Immigration officials were called after he could not show he was in the country legally.
Neyoy Ruiz was granted sanctuary by Southside Presbyterian, the birthplace of the sanctuary movement in the early 1980s, after ICE initially declined to close his case or grant him a stay of deportation.
In a statement, ICE said that after conducting a further review, it had granted Neyoy-Ruiz a one-year stay of removal and would re-evaluate the case to determine next steps at the end of that period.
Cowan said it was a combination of voices that finally made the government reconsider. She said people had sent hundreds of emails and letters to government officials, and that Bishop Gerald Kicanas, leader of the Tucson Catholic Diocese, as well as U.S. Reps. Raúl Grijalva and Ron Barber had supported their cause.
Although Karla Neyoy was thankful her family's ordeal was over, she said their time at Southside Presbyterian not only kept them together, it made her family stronger — and larger.
"We value our family much more now, what we're willing to do for each other," she said. "And in these 26 days we have found new sisters, friends, aunts and mothers here. We have formed a new family with them."
Star reporter Sarah Garrecht Gassen contributed to this report.


text: I have owned both, and as expected, I progressed from .40 to .625. Now for hunting, (which I never did, due to the poor chance of a humane kill) I know the 625 is better in every way. But for accuracy and velocity, given the same length tube, which caliber has the upper hand? Having used both, I always got the feeling that the .40 pushed the dart faster.

A Brit Air CRJ100 carrying 21 passengers and three crewmembers crashed onto a small road and caught fire some 2,500 feet short of the runway at Brest-Guipavas Regional Airport in Brittany on the night of June 22, leaving the 53-year-old pilot dead and three others injured. Flight AF 5672 was a scheduled run from Nantes to Brest. At press time no obvious cause appeared forthcoming, but investigators have recovered the flight-data recorder from the wreckage of the 50-seat regional jet. Preliminary weather reports indicated storm clouds at 2,000 feet and visibility about half a mile.
