Wolfeboro bond hearing to focus on road projects
By LARISSA MULKERN
Union Leader Correspondent
WOLFEBORO - More major road repairs may be in Wolfeboro's future.
The board of selectmen will host a public bond hearing on Dec. 19 to review five big ticket items on the 2013 town warrant including $1.45 million for road work.
A proposed $700,000 bond issue would cover Center Street reconstruction from South Main Street to Wolfeboro Falls. Repairs include a new roadway, drainage and sidewalks with granite curbing, as well as intersection upgrades. This is a proposed New Hampshire Department of Transportation municipal management project with a total cost of $2.1 million. The state will fund two-thirds of the cost and the town's portion is $700,000, according to the public notice posted on Thursday.
David Ford, director of Public Works and Water and Sewer Utilities, said the work will begin across from Pickering Corner and stretch about 1,800 feet up Center Street to Willow Street.
The work will also improve site distance from Lehner Street onto Center Street, where any driver who has tried to take a left turn can attest to the challenge of seeing oncoming traffic from the right.
Improvements include new ADA compliant sidewalks with curbs, four-foot bicycle lanes on both sides of the street, and more clearly defined driveway cuts.
"We have some long driveway cuts and we'll make it more pedestrian friendly," he said.
Another $600,000 bond article is part of the town's annual allocation for general road repairs. Next year's funding would be applied to five miles of road reconstruction to portions of Cotton Valley Road, Percy Drive, Interlakes Way, Pork Hill Road and Stoneham Road.
A third road-related bond requests $150,000 for an engineering study of Middleton Road. Ford said Middleton Road is a state road that over the years has been neglected. The state wants to turn a 1˝-mile portion back to the town.
"It's in terrible condition," said Ford.
The state would fund two-thirds of the cost, with the town's portion at $150,000 for first phase engineering.
Major improvements to Lehner Street, including water and sewer line replacement, repaving and new sidewalks, were recently completed and the town is now looking to get rid of two eyesores on the street.
A $130,000 bond article would pay for acquiring, demolishing and removing two abandoned buildings at 74 and 80 Lehner St. The properties are located directly adjacent to the Foss Field recreational complex.
Other bond requests include $400,000 for upgrades to the sewer collection system; $239,000 for upgrades to the Public Works Facility on Pine Hill Road; and $200,000 for a new maintenance building for the Parks and Recreation Department.
The bond public hearing will be held at 6:40 p.m. at the Wolfeboro Library Public Meeting Room, 259 South Main St.

Catch that "game" last night? Yeah, neither did the Heat. It's funny that I thought my own personal hate for the Miami Heat, WAS in fact personal. Of course it wasn't , and here is a great picture thread showing the creative extent of the Miami Heat hatred. In other hip hop/Dallas Mavericks news, Birdman lost a cool 2 million bucks on the Heat series, and Dallas rapper Dorrough looks like he want to parlay this franchise success into a franchise of his own.
Man I really can't stand that team. Here is one more little dig, Deshawn Stevenson (Mavericks guard) wore a t-shirt to an after party yesterday, it had a pun, for those of you who can't read the blurry TMZ pic, it says:
Hey Lebron! How's My Dirk Taste?
Man I love a good pun. Somewhere out there Souljah Boy is reminding anyone who will listen that Deshawn Stevenson is his boy. In that same breath, somewhere out there Jay-Z is sleeping peacefully, resting his head on the lap of a goddess. The world goes on…

Among my favorite review/essays are Samuel Johnson's demolition of Soame Jenyns' A Free Enquiry Into the Nature and Origin of Evil and Hugh Kenner's demolition of John Harrison's putative takedown of Yeats, Pound, Eliot et al., The Reactionaries. Were it not for Johnson, no one would remember Jenyns, and Kenner performed a similar favor for Harrison (through the graces of William F. Buckley, who anthologized Kenner's essay in Did You Ever See a Dream Walking?).
Reading David Albert's review of Lawrence Krauss's A Universe From Nothing in the current New York Times Book Review, I thought of Johnson and Kenner. Krauss's book sets out to prove that something can come from nothing, and therefore to undermine the claims of a Creator. In its afterword the book carries an enthusiastic endorsement from the militant atheist Richard Dawkins. Albert is not impressed. Indeed, his review is derisive. Especially given its venue, it is a striking review.

Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Federal efforts to create thousands of acres of shallow-water Missouri River habitat to help an endangered fish species have been backlogged nearly six years in the waterway's namesake state because of an ongoing dispute about where to dump excavated dirt.
The situation is so dire that only a fraction of the habitat has been built. The issue recently came to a head when a Missouri agency took the unusual step of refusing to act on a permit request for a long-stalled project, raising new questions about what will happen next in the effort to provide a refuge for young pallid sturgeon and other native species. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering its options while farm groups are vowing continued opposition.
"The state thumbed its nose at the corps," complained project backer Ken Midkiff, chair of the Missouri Clean Water Campaign, a project of the National Sierra Club.
At issue is the corps' effort to recreate about 20,000 acres of slow-moving shallow-water habitat - about 20 percent of the approximately 100,000 acres of shallow-water habitat that disappeared when the river was dammed and straightened and its channel narrowed. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ordered the corps to undertake the habitat effort in 2003 because, while changes to the river aided navigation and improved flood protection, the pallid sturgeon population has dwindled. That puts at risk the future of a dinosaur-era relic that can live more than 50 years and weigh up to 80 pounds.
The conflict has centered on what to do with the dirt excavated to create the new habitat. Farm groups don't want the fertilizer-laden soil dumped into the river, as happens in many of the projects, saying they'll get the blame when it causes environmental problems and that Missouri is spending millions to keep it out of the river.
"If they try dumping dirt, we plan to sue," threatened Bob Perry, general manager of Perry Agricultural Laboratory Inc. in Bowling Green. "They usually blame agriculture for this pollution. But they are going to dump this soil right in the river."
However, proponents, including the corps and environmental groups, say researchers have determined the soil dumping won't cause trouble and note the pallid sturgeon evolved to live in large silt-filled rivers. Before the upstream dams and reservoirs were built, the Missouri River was far muddier.
As a result of the debate, only about 3,500 acres of shallow-water habitat have been constructed so far. Much of it has been built in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, where there haven't been objections.
Nearly 60 percent of the new shallow-water habitat - or 12,000 acres - is supposed to be built in Missouri, where the 2,341-mile river cuts a 543-mile path. But only a handful of projects were completed in the state before concerns were raised in 2007 about what the corps was doing with the dirt it was excavating to create a side channel at Jameson Island near the village of Arrow Rock in the central part of the state.
While state officials debated the project, floodwaters washed out the final stretch of dirt needed to reconnect the side channel to the river. However, farmers complain water exiting the side channel re-enters the river in such a way that it erodes a levee that protects farmland. Although the corps says the levee concerns are overstated, it's offered to make changes.
But fixes to Jameson Island and construction of other side channel shallow-water habitat projects planned for Missouri have been stalled amid the ongoing permit discussion.
"Our inability to construct over the past six years in Missouri has put us way behind," said Steve Fischer, the head of the corps' Missouri River Recovery Program, adding that the agency has a target of completing 6,000 acres of shallow-water habitat projects by 2014, a goal designed to keep the project on track. "At some point the Fish and Wildlife Service could find us in jeopardy of not complying with the biological opinion. It's not a comfortable position to be in."
For part of the six-year span, the Jameson Island project was held up while an environmental study was conducted on claims that dumping excavated soil into the river contributes to a "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico. Experts blame the low-oxygen, or hypoxic, conditions primarily on farm fertilizer runoff brought by the Mississippi River, which the Missouri empties into. The nutrients cause oxygen depleting algae blooms.
The National Academy of Sciences found in 2010 that the corps' plans to dump more soil into the river wouldn't significantly affect the dead zone in the gulf. It estimated that the Corps' plan would add 34 million tons of sediment more per year into the Missouri River, which would boost sediment flowing to the Louisiana coast by 10 to 20 percent.
Farmers, however, aren't sold and have fought hard against Jameson Island, fearing it will begin a series of projects that will exacerbate the problem, and they'll get blamed. Already, environmentalists want more done to reduce fertilizer runoff and animal waste making it into waterways.
"As the ag industry works to reduce the hypoxia levels in the gulf, it would do the opposite," said Tom Waters, chairman of the Missouri Levee and Drainage District Association. "It doesn't make sense."
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources was on the verge of issuing a water quality certification for the Jameson Island project in January when the agency abruptly withdrew it, announcing it would take no action. John Madras, director of the Water Protection Program for the DNR, said the inaction would allow the process to move forward without getting "bogged down at deliberations at our level here."
But Zach White, the corps' project manager for Jameson Island, said the agency has never seen a state simply refuse to act. He said the corps believes it has the authority to proceed without the permit, but that the agency prefers to have input from the state.
"After all these public meetings, we were a little bit disappointed," White said. "We are currently weighing our alternatives to proceed with the project."

Tech News: Google Takes Cue From Apple and Plans to Build Retail Stores
In other news, online game companies focus on gamblers, and HuffPost Tech interviews ex-New York Times reporter Victor Elheny.
This column brings you the most interesting and useful business and financial commentary on technology from around the Web every day.
HuffPost Tech
Link: Life As a Tech Reporter in the 1970s, at the Dawn of the PC Age
"Victor McElheny was the New York Times' go-to tech reporter in the 1970s, a decade marked by a series of tech-world firsts that moved computing beyond labs and into homes, including the release of Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) first computer, the introduction of the digital camera and the debut of the Altair computer.
"For our 'Life As' series, McElheny talked about being a tech journalist at the dawn of the PC era."
Link: Google Wants to Starve Piracy Sites to Death
"Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) is looking into a new strategy for cracking down on piracy sites: cutting off the sources of their funding so they'll wither and die.
"The Telegraph says Google is in cahoots with Visa (NYSE:V), MasterCard (NYSE:MA), and PayPal (NASDAQ:EBAY) to stop supplying money to websites that host links to illegally obtained books, movies, and TV shows. This plan would also stop feeding cash to sites that don't respond to legal requests because they're offshore or out of the country.
"It would be the first time Google has taken such a drastic step to cut down on piracy, but not the first for financial companies. PayPal, Visa, and MasterCard, among others, stopped donations to WikiLeaks in 2011 to cease donations to the document-dropping site. Although WikiLeaks hasn't gone away entirely, that move seems to have severely hampered its operation, which seems to be exactly what Google would like to do for pirate sites."
The Wall Street Journal
Link: Google Works on Launching Retail Stores
"Google Inc has been developing plans to launch retail stores in the US, said people familiar with the matter, in another sign the company is studying Apple Inc.'s playbook for building a consumer-electronics brand.
"The stores would likely sell Google-branded hardware, these people said. But it isn't clear when or where any stores would open, and one of the people said the Internet giant might not move forward with the plan this year.
"Apple's stores have been a big factor in the success of the company's iPhones and iPads, and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) has also opened its own retail outlets. Inside Google, the idea of opening retail stores has long been debated as the company has become a major player in mobile devices, said people familiar with the discussions."
The New York Times
Link: Tech Industry Sets Its Sights On Gambling
"Look out Las Vegas, here comes FarmVille.
"Silicon Valley is betting that online gambling is its next billion-dollar business, with developers across the industry turning casual games into occasions for adults to wager.
"At the moment these games are aimed overseas, where attitudes toward gambling are more relaxed and online betting is generally legal, and extremely lucrative. But game companies, from small teams to Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA), have their eye on the ultimate prize: the rich American market, where most types of real-money online wagers have been cleared by the Justice Department.
"Two states, Nevada and Delaware, are already laying the groundwork for virtual gambling. Within months they will most likely be joined by New Jersey.
"Bills have also been introduced in Mississippi, Iowa, California and other states, driven by the realization that online gambling could bring in streams of tax revenue. In Iowa alone, online gambling proponents estimated that 150,000 residents were playing poker illegally."
Link: A Porous Perimeter Perplexes Security Pros
"While it's a nasty pill to swallow for old-line security folks, the perimeter isn't what it used to be. The days when a company could hide behind its firewall and feel secure are gone.
"Pockets of resistance to that notion still exist, but the message is getting through to security pros. 'It's a painful message to receive if you're someone in traditional information security,' Hugh Thompson, senior vice president and chief security strategist at Blue Coat Systems (NASDAQ:BCSI) told TechNewsWorld.
"'It's harder to draw where the line is in the sand between the good guys and the bad guys,' he said.
"Security pros aren't the only people who find the world behind the porous perimeter unsettling. 'It's harder and harder for an employee to make good security choices,' Thompson said.
"'I'm almost nostalgic for Nigerian prince scams,' he quipped, 'because now we're seeing very personalized attacks. Attackers will research a person, create a very compelling sounding ruse and get you to click on a link, so it's getting harder and harder for people to make good choices online.'
"Perimeter defenses are just a part of the picture, noted Seth Goldhammer, director of product management for LogRhythm, a Boulder, Colo. log management and SIEM vendor.
"'Security has never been a single product, a single technology,' he told TechNewsWorld. 'A layered security approach has always been best for a good security practice. Having the right collection of technologies coordinated correctly is the best chance an organization has to defend itself.'"

Purr-Fect Auto Services, a gas/service station, is based in an area of Massachusetts with lots of competition for both sides of the business. However, owner Richard Cardano has found that he can keep his customers coming back with great service by giving them a token of his appreciation.
For every $100 that a customer spends in the service bay, they receive a logoed coin worth a 50-cent-per-gallon discount on their next fill-up at the gas station. Roughly seven customers each week receive two to four coins. "It's not unusual for me to pass out 10 or more coins to a single customer," says Cardano.
Customers like the idea – and the savings – as they continue to return for their regular fill-ups. "It gives them a reason to come here rather than a station down the street where gas might be five cents a gallon cheaper," says Cardano. Customers using the coins often fill their tanks – roughly a $40 gas purchase – rather than merely topping off.
Cardano worked with his distributor partner for the best promo item. "After a few exchanges of design ideas, we found the coin design that would work best – and has worked best – for our business," says Cardano, who purchased 1,000 coins. "When we started the program, we got a couple hundred coins out of the box and started giving them to customers," he says. "Since then, the customers – and the coins – keep coming back, so we have not had to get any more from the box in the office."
Those in the auto-service industry, gas stations, quick lubes, car washes, convenience stores and other related venues would benefit by extending a "token of appreciation" to customers – and a reason for them to return in the future. Contact your distributor partner for great ideas and the perfect products to promote your business.
NASCAR is expanding its outreach by building the star power of individual drivers, attracting a multicultural fan base, executing more social-media strategies and improving the racetrack experience for fans. Its new Diversity Program is going strong and is set to continue this mission with Hispanic-themed events and advertising campaigns this year.
Alejandra Diaz-Labrecque, manager of NASCAR Multicultural Development, is a driving force behind the initiative, and she believes that education and awareness are equally important in the quest to gain more Hispanic fans and drivers. "There are two main components of the Hispanic push," Diaz-Labrecque says. "The first is raising awareness and the second is making the race experience welcoming to fans."
The diversity program, Bienvenidos a NASCAR, formed partnerships with tracks and race series across the country to promote the movement. The program offered bilingual ambassadors, a bilingual broadcast, Spanish-language signage, concerts including Los Lobos in Phoenix and Chino and Nacho in Miami, branded merchandise, discounted tickets and more.
"In conjunction with each track, we set up branded tents and booths and handed out T-shirts, cups, keychains, lanyards, all with the Bienvenidos a NASCAR logo on them," Diaz-Labrecque says. "We had sweepstakes going on in each of the markets, in which the track donated items with its logo, and we offered VIP tickets as well as ran TV and radio ads."
Bienvenidos a NASCAR also developed a Spanish-language landing page for its site and a Spanish call center for ticket purchases. Hispanic fans were offered ticket packages that included bilingual brochures, track maps and advice for race day. "If you've never been to a race before, it can be very overwhelming," says Diaz-Labrecque. "We wanted every attendee to feel comfortable and welcome, so the literature included tips such as where and when to see fireworks, flyovers and driver introductions."
Handbooks featuring QR codes linked to NASCAR garage videos were distributed, so fans could learn what goes on under the hood of a racecar and familiarize themselves even more with the sport. Headsets were also included in the ticket package, which allowed onlookers to hear the drivers and crews, and listen to broadcasts in Spanish.
Helping to promote the ongoing cause are a handful of well-known Hispanic drivers, including Juan Pablo Montoya of Columbia, Aric Almirola from Cuba, Nelson Piquet Jr. and Miguel Paludo of Brazil, Victor Gonzalez of Puerto Rico and Jorge Arteaga of Mexico.
Bienvenidos a NASCAR has continued to grow and become involved with more events and races such as NASCAR Championship Drive in South Beach, Miami. "We know it's going to be an investment before we see huge results," says Diaz-Labrecque, "but it's all about raising awareness and educating Hispanics on the sport."
With momentum gaining from its efforts toward the Hispanic community, NASCAR is excited for 2013, when the NASCAR Toyota Series will compete for the first time ever in the U.S. in Phoenix on March 1. "We will be there in full force," says Diaz-Labrecque. "It will be an over-the-top, blowout event."
For 20 years one promotional products distributor in the Midwest has handled a steady stream of orders from upwards of eight local car dealers in his area. "We've dealt with them through good and bad," so to speak, says the distributor.
And, while market swings have affected orders, none of that has affected them so much as the recent shift in how dealers are targeting clients these days. In particular, the distributor says, where once dealers were more focused on promotions to bring new customers into their showrooms, these days their marketing strategies are more about keeping existing clients. In fact, Goldblatt says, mailers urging consumers to test drive vehicles are almost nonexistent in his area.
"The loyalty fight is on, for sure," says Brian Bolain, national marketing communications manager for Lexus, based in Torrance, CA. The company, he says, predicts as many as 1 million additional cars to be sold this year above last year's sales.
Still, "it's more cost efficient to retain customers than to lose them and try to get them back," he insists, adding that even though Lexus enjoys a loyal customer base with a retention rate upwards of 50%, they use regular promotional products and marketing campaigns to keep the clients they have.
In fact, Goldblatt works regularly with a local Lexus showroom and says the owner is more eager to market to existing customers with regular mailers and thank you gifts (think high-end umbrellas and travel mugs) meant to entice buyers back in.

Ramirez was a nice signing, bringing in De Aza gave the team a nice shot in the arm when he was healthy. The trade to bring in Danks was nice, but there were not enough of those.
The Tigers are also guilty of this to an extent, but they were able to get better talents in Cabrera, Fielder, Young and Fister (Verlander was drafted). They were also able to bring in a few young guys to fill positions either from within or that trade that got Jackson there.
The Giants were also guilty of having a lot of bad signings, but they were able to make up for it with strong starting pitching and Buster Posey.
The point is, the Sox need to bring in top-tier talent in important spots. People that other teams would love to build around. They have been doing better with young guys. They had 9 rookies on the roster, the pitchers were solid, until rookie troubles happened, but they give me hope. The coaching needs to be consistent across each minor league level, where they hear the same things, instead of too many things at once. Organizational philosophy was mentioned, and I agree. The young hitters is something they must improve upon. I hope we got that guy in Hawkins, but we will have to see. I've said plenty of things about the farm system in previous posts, but getting solid contributors is also needed.

I agree with both of these posts. A core group of young talent is the best way to build a team, even if you're the Yankees (and they're having more problems as Jeter, Rivera, et al age). That's how the Sox were a continued success leading up to the strike. That team, however, was built on high draft picks after a few years of losing in the late 80s. I don't think they have luxury of just blowing up the team for a few years and getting talent that way (nor do I think that method works with any regularity), it will require more international investment and better scouting, drafting, and developing young talented players. Hopefully the new CBA will make that more of a reality for the White Sox.

This Week In Island History
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago
From the Newport Journal, Sept. 26, 1913
Much satisfaction is expressed over the arrest of two chicken thieves Monday night. For a number of years a large amount of poultry has been stolen on the island, usually a few fowls being missed almost nightly. At one time a reward of $200 was offered, and it is now questioned if this is not in force at the present time.
After four days delay on account of stormy weather, work was resumed Tuesday on the addition to the schoolhouse.
The stormy weather of the past four days has had a tendency to make the hotel guests hasten their departure, and the hotels are making preparations to close after one of the most successful seasons in recent years.
75 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 23, 1938
Jamestown is slowly recovering from the effects of Wednesday's hurricane. Works Progress Administration workers, men and boys are working steadily to clear away fallen trees from the main highways and side streets.
The whistle house at Beavertail was washed away and many of the cottages on the east side of the light are either demolished or damaged beyond repair.
At 4 o'clock ferryboat Hammonton, which has been plying between west Jamestown and Saunderstown, left her dock on the west side, came around the north end of the island and stopped at Newport, where she left passengers who had been marooned on board.
The West Ferry wharf is completely deserted. The waiting room was wrecked and a portion of it is at Hull's swamp, two miles north of the dock.
From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 24, 1938
Through the cooperation of the Jamestown Fire Department, the Red Cross Wednesday established a central information and relief bureau at the fire station.
The main thoroughfares are pretty well cleared of fallen trees, and Conanicus Avenue is again open to traffic. The road to Beavertail has been roped off at the entrance to Mackerel Cove beach and no one is allowed to pass the point.
From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 26, 1938
The town school opened this morning. The high pupils left on the 8 a.m. ferryboat Hammonton and returned on the government boat this afternoon.
Through the U.S. government, Jamestown has been provided with an emergency vessel to be used in ferry service to Newport. Ferry service between Jamestown and Saunderstown is nonexistent because of extensive damage on the Saunderstown side.
50 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 21, 1963
Gross revenue on the Jamestown Bridge was $18,021, down 18 percent for the first 19 days of September this year as compared to the same period last year. It was felt that the decrease was due to the fact that last year's America's Cup races resulted in unusually large traffic flow over the bridge. The traffic for this same period was 50,102, or down 5,732 crossings, for the same number of days.
From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 24, 1963
Army Engineers have recommended to the Jamestown Town Council that the abandoned World War II Army barracks at Fort Wetherill be burned, but the council, at its meeting last night, was not certain just who would do it. Fire Chief Merton Hull said it is not a job for the volunteer fire department. Twelve buildings are scheduled for razing. Largest are 10 wooden barracks, each 90 by 30 feet.
From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 26, 1963
Harbor Defense Division 1-2 of the Naval Reserve, composed primarily of Narragansett Bay area residents, held its monthly drill Saturday and Sunday at its recently reactivated headquarters at Beavertail in Jamestown.
25 years ago
From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 23, 1988
Jamestown's first town planner (Jennifer K. Parker) is resigning to take a job with a North Kingstown environmental consulting firm.
From the Newport Daily News, Sept. 27, 1988
Spurred by a complaint from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Town Council Monday night took a step toward allowing political signs in Jamestown.
15 years ago
From the Jamestown Press, Sept. 24, 1998
The Town Council has decided that it cannot approve of the state Department of Environmental Management's plan for Fort Wetherill as presented in a recent "revised mission statement."
At its meeting last week, the Jamestown Village Association voted to change its name to the Jamestown Chamber of Commerce – a move that will bring a more business-like tone and greater benefits to members of the organization.
10 years ago
From the Jamestown Press, Sept. 25, 2003
The Jamestown School Committee read and commented on a first draft of a letter that they intend to send to the North Kingstown School Committee that will serve as notification that they may be pulling out of North Kingstown High School beginning in three years.
The single act of transferring sales licenses has opened the door for the island's first fast-food franchise restaurant in the form of Dunkin Donuts. Spinnaker's Café has taken a down payment and transferred its victualizing license to Dunkin Donuts.
The M/V Dauriya, the Russian fish-holding vessel that has become a wintertime fixture in the lower bay, was given an official "welcome back" by the Jamestown Town Council Monday night.
Jamestown celebrates its 325th with flair. The celebration included speeches and a parade with floats.

A team of maritime heritage archaeologists from NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries have discovered the shipwreck remains of the 1837 British whaling ship Gledstanes. The shipwreck was found off Kure Atoll within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument during a month-long expedition to discover and document shipwrecks in monument waters.
At the end of the first exploratory dive of the day, the NOAA dive team discovered a pile of iron ballast and some chain. The ballast led to a trail into the dramatic topography of the reef where more artifacts were found scattered, including four massive anchors, iron ballast, a cannon and cannon balls, and a trypot.
"For years I have been coming up to Kure Atoll in hopes of searching for this particular shipwreck, but in the past we have been deterred by the weather and unworkable conditions," said Kelly Gleason, NOAA archaeologist for the monument and mission leader. "This year, the Gledstanes was revealed to us, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the opportunity to share this wreck site and its story with the public."
"The story of the Gledstanes and her survivors is limited, but adds to the important legacy of shipwreck survival stories at Kure Atoll," said Hans Van Tilburg, maritime heritage coordinator for NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries' Pacific Islands Region. After the loss of their ship due to extremely rough seas, the crew launched the ship's small boats and made for the closest dry land the small sandy island at Kure Atoll named Ocean Island. In a short time, the Gledstanes broke apart in the heavy surf. The crew salvaged what they could from their destroyed ship and set about fashioning a 38-foot vessel called the Deliverance, and then set out for help.
The Gledstanes is the fourth whaling ship, and one of the oldest ships, discovered thus far in the Papaha¯naumokua¯kea Marine National Monument, shedding further light on the major significance of 19th-century whaling heritage in this region.
The researchers aboard the NOAA ship Hi'ialakai will also make stops at French Frigate Shoals, Pearl and Hermes Atoll and Midway Atoll. The public can follow this month-long mission on the monument's Web site at www.papahanaumokuakea.gov.
Papaha¯naumokua¯kea Marine National Monument is administered jointly by three co-trustees the Department of Commerce, Department of the Interior and the State of Hawai'i and represents a cooperative conservation approach to protecting the entire ecosystem. Co-trustee agencies in cooperation with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs manage the monument through the Monument Management Board. The Monument area includes the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge/Battle of Midway National Memorial, Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, Kure Atoll Wildlife Sanctuary, and Northwestern Hawaiian Islands State Marine Refuge.

The Democratic House and Senate have voted to extend key provisions of the Patriot Act which many liberals have criticized for the last eight years, and today President Obama signed that extension into law. One of these provisions allows investigators to obtain a warrant to wiretap all phones that may be used by a terrorist, not just a particular phone number. Federal agencies have had this power, which is obviously necessary in an era of disposable cell phones, for quite a few years in organized crime investigations, but only with the Patriot Act was the authority extended to terrorism. Another provision allows the government to subpoena records more or less as lawyers have had the ability to do in civil cases forever. This is the notorious "library" provision that has nothing in particular to do with libraries. The third provision allows federal agencies to surveil "lone wolf" terrorists who may be dangerous even though not affiliated with a particular group, like the Washington snipers of a few years ago.
This legislation shouldn't be in the least controversial, but Democrats spent years demagoguing the Bush administration's efforts to prevent terrorist attacks. The Democrats' shameful conduct included countless attacks on the Patriot Act. Yet, now that they have the responsibility of governing, those attacks are forgotten–the extension passed the House 315-97 and Obama signed the legislation quietly, without a whimper.
I suppose it's too much to expect the Democrats to admit they were wrong all along.

Clifford Gary was born in Shelby County, Texas on February 8, 1925. The 1930 Shelby County Census listed his father as Harold (occupation farmer), mother Alma and two sisters, Bonnietta and Cora Jean. His military record shows 4 years of high school but I'm not sure which one.
He enlisted in the Army from Camp Wolters, Texas on April 26, 1944 at the age of 19. Clifford fought with the 157th Infantry Regiment of the 45th Infantry Division at the "Battle of Reipertswiller, France that lasted from January 14th – 20th, 1945. On the morning of the 14th, the 157th Infantry Regiment launched a counterattack against the penetrating Germany forces that would last for last for seven grueling days. While the German penetration was stopped, the regimental casualties were the heaviest of any single battle of the war. Seven company commanders, thirty platoon leaders and some six hundred other valiant soldiers were either killed, wounded or captured during this tragic operation. Two men, both privates were the only ones who successfully escaped. Among those taken prisoner was Clifford Gary.
On January 21st, 1945 Corporal Clifford Gary found himself as a Germany Prisoner of War. He was 20 years of age and had been in the US Army less than 1 year. He was assigned to the Germany Camp Stalag 11B, Fallingbostel Prussia and remained there until his release 17 months later on June 11, 1946.
Clifford returned to civilian life and passed on October 23, 1997. He is buried in the Youngblood Cemetery, Beckville, Texas.

Description of CiliophoraThe ciliates. One of the most familiar groups of protozoa, distinguished by usually having many cilia lying in rows on the body and used for movement, sometimes with more cilia around the mouth and used for feeding. Typically between 10 and 500 microns in length. One of the characteristics that is very unusual is that ciliates have two kinds of nuclei - diploid micronuclei and selectively polyplopid macronuclei within each cell.

Obamacare truth: The promises were falseEDITORIAL
August 31. 2013 3:03AM
Finally, the facts are catching up to President Obama's deliberately false claims about his health care policy.
Here is how CNN led into a story on health insurance changes last week:
"President Obama said this spring that little will change for the 85% to 90% of Americans who already have coverage, only that 'their insurance is stronger, better, more secure than it was before.' But that's actually not the case at a growing number of companies."
CNN counted three fees, one tax and the individual mandate as Obamcare provisions that "are certainly pushing up health insurance costs for employers..." The University of Virginia is dropping coverage for spouses who have their own insurance option because Obamacare will add $7 million in costs to its current coverage, university officials have said.
Though some companies were making similar changes before Obamacare, as CNN noted, "The ACA is definitely escalating the pace of change," a health care consultant told the network.
National Journal reported last week: "For the vast majority of Americans, premium prices will be higher in the individual exchange than what they're currently paying for employer-sponsored benefits, according to a National Journal analysis of new coverage and cost data. Adding even more out-of-pocket expenses to consumers' monthly insurance bills is a swell in deductibles under the Affordable Care Act."
A state-sponsored report by the private Lewin Group found that in addition to adding $85 million in direct state costs over seven years, expanding Medicaid in New Hampshire would cost hospitals $228 million, in part because lower-income insured people would drop their private insurance and go on Medicaid, which has lower reimbursement rates for hospitals.
The New Hampshire Hospitals Association has, amazingly, supported expansion despite acknowledging that financial loss. The association continues to assert, simplistically, that expansion is the morally right thing to do, period. That posture (it cannot be called a rational argument) is what got us into this mess in the first place. When governments impose insanely costly, grotesquely inefficient policies purely out of moral posturing - and ignore the costs - bad things happen. They are happening to the U.S. health insurance marketplace right now as a direct result of Obamacare. And it is only going to get worse.

NBC to take over part of NASCAR TV package in 2015
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR will return to NBC in 2015, ending its eight-year partnership with both ESPN and Turner Sports.
The 10-year deal with NBC Sports Group announced Tuesday begins in 2015 and gives the network the final 20 Sprint Cup Series races of the season and final 19 Nationwide races. NBC last broadcast races in 2006 before ESPN took over its portion of the schedule.
"We are back. We are thrilled to be back," said Mark Lazarus, chairman of NBC Sports Group. He said of all the deals made since Comcast Corp. purchased NBC, the NASCAR deal "is one that we've really been focused on, one that we have wanted to have the opportunity to be able to sit at the table when contractual opportunities came due."
"The quantity of content that this deal provides and the quality of content that this provides is really a game changer for us for our entire group, and we can't wait to get started," Lazarus added.
The deal makes NBC Sports Group the premier motorsports network with NASCAR, Formula One and IndyCar among its properties — a trifecta Lazarus said made NBC the motorsports leader.
"I believe with us now being the home to the second half of the NASCAR season, the home for cable for Indy and the home to Formula 1, that we are probably the most dominant home for motorsports, and that that circulation of motorsports fans will be good for all," he said.
A previous relationship with Lazarus, who was formerly with Turner Sports, and the ability to be part of NBC's sports properties attracted NASCAR.
"With NBC, you're joining a family at NBC Sports where you'll be surrounded by incredible championship-type programming," said Steve Herbst, NASCAR's vice president of broadcasting and production. "Their football package on Sunday night is the No. 1 show on television ... they are the home to championship programming and we'll be promoted and marketed and shown alongside those top-tier events."
NBC will air seven Cup races, while 13 will be on the NBC Sports Network. The Nationwide Series will have four events on NBC and 15 on NBC Sports Network.
There are still three Sprint Cup races to be sold, which Herbst believes will move quickly. Lazarus said NBC purchased everything made available to the network, which means the three events not currently held by Fox were not offered.
"We were offered a package that had 20 in them, so we bought everything that was made available to us. That doesn't mean we bought everything we wanted," Lazarus said.
Herbst said some of the Cup events on NBC will be a lead-in to "Sunday Night Football."
"We're going to have the opportunity as we get into the fall season and the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup to be on Sunday afternoons leading into NFL football, and that's an exciting opportunity for us, given the obvious power of the NFL," he said. "We still have a ways to go to figure out what races and when, but it will be select races that go into Sunday Night Football."
The deal also gave NBC Sports Group rights to the K&N Series and NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour events, NASCAR Toyota (Mexico) Series events, the NASCAR Hall of Fame induction ceremony and season-ending banquets, live-streaming rights for Cup and Nationwide, and Spanish-language broadcast rights on Telemundo and Mun2 for national series events and NASCAR Toyota (Mexico) Series.
The rights to the first half of the Nationwide schedule have not been publicly announced, but NASCAR chairman Brian France let slip in a Tuesday conference call with reporters that there will be Nationwide races on Fox Sports 1.
"We will have both Cup and Nationwide on FOX Sports 1 at some level," France said during the call. ESPN currently broadcasts the entire Nationwide schedule.
If correct, Fox would be the leading candidate for the three remaining unsold Cup races.
Jon Ackley, an associate professor who teaches a NASCAR business course at Virginia Commonwealth, said he initially thought ESPN and Turner dropped NASCAR at the right time because of increased rights fees and sinking television ratings. But the more he studied it, the more he began to think NASCAR chose NBC over the others.
"Maybe this is a good deal for NASCAR, it certainly gives a lot of continuity for the schedule and makes it easier for viewers to find the race on each weekend," he said.
Still, he noted that it's unclear how many races will be on cable TV. Fox, for example, has not said how many Cup races will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1.
"I don't even know if I get NBC Sports on my satellite," he said. "That's another concern of mine is that unlike ESPN with its 24-hour coverage, everybody knows ESPN and they go to ESPN if they are looking for something. It's very accessible. There may be a learning curve and it may be a very slow learning curve for the public wondering where to find their NASCAR."
NBC Sports Group replaces ESPN, which carries 17 events and picks up its portion of the schedule this weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Turner, which currently has six races on the schedule.
NBC shared the television contract with Fox from 2001-06 in the first national TV deal for NASCAR. NBC pulled out of negotiations on an extension, and ESPN picked up that portion of the schedule in 2007.
Ackley also wondered what the ramifications could be for NASCAR after severing ties with ESPN.
ESPN was not allowed to do on-camera interviews at the track from 2001-06, and its reporters were forced to race to a nearby helipad after races to speak to drivers before they headed home.
"I was sort of surprised that once again, NASCAR has turned its back on ESPN, like it did in 2000," Ackley said. "I'm wondering what the fallout will be, whether it will be a lack of respect of NASCAR coverage and reporting."
John Skipper, president of ESPN, said the network will continue to cover NASCAR when its deal expires.
"We will continue to serve NASCAR fans through SportsCenter and our other news platforms as we continue to enhance our industry-leading collection of quality assets. We are looking forward to the start of our Sprint Cup season and will continue with our deep commitment to the highest quality coverage," Skipper said in a statement.
France thinks the relationship with ESPN will be fine.
"It's a different time now. They have different thinking about how they want to cover sports," France said. "Obviously you think about all those things, but the reality is they have to cover the big events that people watch every weekend. You never can predict the future, but we didn't think that was something that would hold us back from making this deal, that's for sure."
Turner indicated earlier Tuesday it could not compete financially in the negotiations to extend its 31-year relationship with NASCAR.
"We think NASCAR is an attractive property, but we are disciplined in our approach to negotiating sports rights and could not come up with a business model that was financially prudent for our company," said David Levy, president of sales, distribution and sports at Turner.

County-Wide Burn Ban Extended Through Labor Day, September 4
A county-wide burn ban will remain in effect through Labor Day weekend following a 2-0-1 vote Monday afternoon by the Owen County Board of Commissioners.
Acknowledging improved conditions from recent rainfall in the northern portion of the county, the board cited continued drought conditions in the southern half of Owen County as reason enough to extend the burn ban.
Owen County Emergency Management Director Jack White provided the board with copies of the ongoing Disaster Emergency Proclamation.
Commissioners George Jennings and Richard Foutch voted in favor of extending the ban, while commissioner Donnie Minnick abstained from the vote.
White noted that a recent survey of the county's fire department chiefs resulted in five voting in favor of continuing the ban, while four in favor of lifting the ban.
The proclamation reads as follows:
"Whereas, Owen County, Indiana is immediately threatened by a natural disaster-specifically county wide drought conditions, and;
"Whereas, as of the 20th day of August, 2012 we find Owen County to be at risk of widespread fire hazards because of the ongoing drought conditions and;
"Whereas, a county-wide burn ban affecting certain activities is an appropriate public safety response to the fire hazards presented by the current drought conditions;
"Now therefore, we, the Owen County Board of Commissioners, declare, pursuant to the provisions of IC 10-14-3-29, that a state of emergency exists in the county and that we hereby invoke and declare those portions of the Indiana Code which are applicable to the conditions and have caused the issuance of this proclamation, to be in full force and effect in the County for the exercise of all necessary emergency authority for protection of the lives and property of the people of Owen County.
"We also declare that, effective immediately, the following activities are prohibited in Owen County:
•Campfires and other recreational fires, unless enclosed in a fire ring with dimensions of 23 inches in diameter by 10 inches high or larger;
•Open burning of any kind using conventional fuel such as wood, or other combustible matter, with the exception of grills fueled by charcoal briquettes or propane; the burning of debris, such as timber or vegetation, including such debris that results from building construction activities; and
•Burning will be allowed in burn barrels with a one-quarter inch mesh top from dawn to dusk only.
•Charcoal from permitted grills shall not be removed from the grills until the charcoal has been thoroughly extinguished.
"In addition, we strongly encourage our residents to attend public displays of fireworks and limit their personal use of fireworks to those that do not leave the ground, and that they refrain from using aerial firework devices.
"Reference is hereby made to all appropriate laws statutes, ordinances and resolutions and particularly to Section 10-14-3-29 of the Indiana Code.
"All public offices and employees of Owen County are hereby directed to exercise the utmost diligence in the discharge of duties required of them for the duration of the emergency and in execution of emergency laws, regulations, and directives whether state and local.
"All residents are called upon and directed to comply with necessary emergency measures, to cooperate with public officials and disaster services forces in executing emergency operations plans, and to obey and comply with the lawful directions of properly identified officers.
"All operating forces will direct their communications and requests for assistance and operations directly to the Emergency Operations Center."
The county-wide burn ban remains in effect until September 4th, at which time the Owen County Board of Commissioners will revisit the emergency to decide if the need for an extension of the emergency proclamation is necessary.

2011 Los Angeles Dodgers Season Preview: Corner Infield
Questions about guys reaching expectations and age lead this preview.
First Base
James Loney
- I'll make no bones about it: I'm a Loney fan. I love what he does with the glove and his potential at the plate. However, this is a make-or-break season for Loney. His performance this season will determine whether he remains a Dodger, is traded or is non-tendered next winter. Loney is coming off the worst season of his career, thanks to a dreadful second-half slump (.211/.285/.331). The sad thing is, Loney's first half was quite promising, as he had an .803 OPS at the break. Much like almost every other Dodger hitter, Loney fell flat on his face after the break. If he doesn't have a breakout season, the Dodgers could consider other options for first base come 2012.
Loney's batting average on balls in play has been relatively consistent with the league average for the last three years, so his 2010 slump wasn't the product of bad luck -- he just didn't perform.
Backups: Blake, Jay Gibbons, Marcus Thames
Third Base
Casey Blake
- Blake surprised many by being as valuable as he was in 2009, posting an .832 OPS and 4.6 WAR. However, things went terribly wrong for him at the plate in 2010, posting a .727 OPS and a 27.1 percent strikeout rate (up from 23.9 in 2009). He has plated surprisingly good defense in his time as a Dodger, but that isn't guaranteed to continue. He is in the final year of his contract ($1.25 million buyout for 2012), and the quicker he can be pushed into a utility role, the better. Failing to sign a left-handed counterpart for him could come back to hurt the Dodgers come midseason when Blake will likely being showing his age. As of now, there is no acceptable platoon partner for Blake with the Dodgers.

Loney is a personal favorite of mine and I want to see him succeed. He gets a lot of crap from some, but he hasn't been nearly as bad as some have made him out to be. The Dodgers know what kind of player he is and it's their fault for not bringing in players to counter. Then when the offense struggles, people need someone to blame. Loney did have a horrific second half, but I'm willing to bet he performs closer to his first-half numbers than his second-half numbers in 2011. Blake is an aging vet who is about ready to slide into a utility role. There's just no one to platoon with him. That could change if Blake struggles mightily early in the season.
The Dodgers aren't going to get league-average offensive production from the corners, but the defense should be solid.
Next up: Middle Infield

I hope Loney gets it together as well and this is a make or break year for him. His offensive production is poor when compared to other 1B around the league. He has never had a WAR above two, that's not good out of your 1B. I do like him though, I'll be rooting for him, I'll be rooting for the Dodgers so hopefully he gets his shit together soon.ReplyDelete
I still believe Loney is not the problem. Yeah, he fell off last year, but that may have been part of a team collapse. I have no logical reason to say this, but I think Loney has the ability to play better, if he isn't asked to carry a club. If he is surrounded by good hitters, he can hit close to .300 with 90 rbi's. I really don't care if he never hits over 20 HR's, as long as he is getting on base and driving in runs.ReplyDelete

Manchester United's Seven Deadly Sins: #2 – Pride
Pride: Wanting a mirror that isn't Dante's.
Cantona says hello to Leeds, 1993
Eric Cantona the footballer would strut around on stage accompanied by a spotlight — if it had momentarily focused elsewhere, he would instantly demand it back. It was part of a package deal, but it was not something that hindered him, rather the opposite. Cantona, citing the "kick, and then rush" football at Leeds United as one of his reasons for leaving to FourFourTwo, would reveal that "if I don't feel the environment is good, I don't want to be there. I need to feel good." It was this that made Manchester United, according to the man who had signed him, the perfect club for the mercurial Frenchman.
"There's no way Eric Cantona would have been a great player if we hadn't allowed him to express himself, to be Eric Cantona," Sir Alex Ferguson would reveal to journalist Philippe Auclair in an interview for The Blizzard. "I think we were a perfect club for him, a club where he was able to stick his chest out and say, 'I'm the man here, I'm the king here.' Because he had this aura, this presence, this belief in himself."
Auclair would never pass up a chance to talk Cantona, especially to the man who knew him better than most and doubly especially being the author of the wonderful Eric Cantona biography, The Rebel Who Would Be King, for which credit goes to for this story. Auclair revisited Cantona's return to Elland Road, his first since leaving Leeds United, and of his provoking of a hostile crowd. As the pre-match practice was coming to a close, Auclair writes, through the help of a friend present that day, when "the moment came to return to the dressing room, drowned in an ocean of noise, a sewer in full flow, Cantona took the ball, juggled it for a while and signed off with a volley into the top corner. The jeers doubled in ferocity but, as David [his friend] remembers it, intensified by the admiration the crowd couldn't help but feel for such arrogance ('We had to admit — this guy had balls')." He had big balls.
Roy Keane threatens to play badly, 2005
This one could easily have been filed under 'wrath', but, no, it goes beyond that. In an interview with MUTV, Roy Keane criticised new signing Rio Ferdinand and other members of the Manchester United team (in Keane's defence, he may well have been ticked off by Ferdinand's white suit, in which case he is excused). Here are the highlights: "Just because you are paid £120,000-a-week and play well for 20 minutes against Tottenham, you think you are a superstar. There is a shortage of characters in this team. It seems to be in this club that you have to play badly to be rewarded. Maybe that is what I should do when I come back. Play badly."
Keane is a proud man. Was he arrogant? Almost certainly. Sometimes we'd get hard-men like Keane (some might say) and automatically assume that there are layers; that emotion isn't supposed to come with what they might do — or say — and so that it's natural they don't brag about it. They just shrug it off, it's what they do. Bragging shows character, a big head, a swagger and linked to that is some kind of twisted happiness. Not that he wasn't hard — he was hard, he is hard — but to simply lump Keane with the hard-men would be unfair, because he had dimensions, plural, and because hard-men aren't supposed to be this fun, rather generic, the template for wannabe Krays.
Keane didn't explicitly boast, but he always appeared to be on the verge of it. He would tell Mick McCarthy that he didn't rate him as a footballer, Jamie Redknapp, too — "You, Redknapp, are you happy with your Under-21 caps?" — and assume some kind of superiority by chiding those who wore gloves on the pitch. "Sometimes I believe the man upstairs has great plans for me," he would say once.
Roy Keane has standards but only very personal ones, and appears to care little for reputation. That's a good thing, probably. To think we were surprised that Keane, the leader of a team that desperately needed reassuring words after a bad run of form, would speak so openly!
Bless him — he went on: "There is talk about putting this right in January and bringing new players in. We should be doing the opposite — we should be getting rid of people in January." Hands up if you love him.
When Andy Cole became Outstanding, 1999
Andy Cole made the unfortunate decision to release Outstanding (there could well be a full-stop here) in the same year as Manchester United's treble-winning season, where everything could invariably be compared unfavourably — though apparently that was the intention. To put it kindly, it was an ambitious record, with lyrics that otherwise screamed the "do you know who I am?" line, including the fact that, apparently, he is 'the host with the most / got clientèle guaranteed' and that he's 'sharp like a razor / speed to amaze ya / beat ya like Ali did Joe Frazier', which, though intimidating on the surface, would probably be laughed out of a recording studio in Harlem.
But credit to Cole for trying; he chose not to adopt a faux-American accent, only briefly touched on various actually-banal, actually-not-song-worthy tasks carried out in the early hours and made no unsuccessful attempts to rhyme 'positive' with 'negative'. You could look at it another way: this was at the start of Britain's short-lived hip-hop golden era. This one stayed true to itself, with lyrics that still resonate today ('Tell the world my name, who's that? Andy Cole').
Can he kick it? Like every other '7.5 mill record-maker', yes he can.
Scholes too good to be a reserve, 2001
Paul Scholes, they would tell you, is as modest as one of Chaucer's maids, but with all the stories (or story, as it's apparent that only Rio Ferdinand's recollection is on record) of hitting trees from 40 yards in front of his impressed team-mates, he does at least recognise that he's got a unique gift.
"I don't know why I did what I did in 2001, but it is something I really regretted doing," Scholes would say after his initial retirement in 2011. "I wasn't in a great mood. I had been left out the Liverpool game the previous weekend and I knew that the team going down to Arsenal in the [League] cup was basically a reserve side." United were beaten 4-0 at Highbury, with arch-enemy Sylvain Wiltord scoring three, as if to foreshadow later events that season.
"I ended up getting fined and having to apologise, but I was lucky. The manager would have been within his rights to get rid of me." Scholes' loss, really; how many others could really say they played alongside Lee Roche and now-convict Ronnie Wallwork?
Sir Matt and Sir Alex the same, 1945 & 1986
Manchester United's two greatest managers have always, in some way, tried to play down their achievements, wanting not to be carried away. Those that know and knew both Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby would vouch for their humility, though not for their self-confidence; those things, which some make the mistake of thinking, are not mutually exclusive.
Indeed, they would have self-confidence in abundance. "Call it confidence, conceit, arrogance, or ignorance but I was unequivocal about it," Busby wrote in his autobiography Soccer at the Top. "At the advanced age of thirty-five, I would accept the managership of Manchester United only if they would let me have all my own way. As the manager, I would want to manage. I would be the boss."
There are some striking parallels to be had here with Alex Ferguson's first programme notes in 1986, long before he was a 'Sir': "I am not really interested in what has happened here in the past. I don't mean any disrespect to the great achievements of Manchester United over the years. It's simply that now there is only one way to go, and that is forward.
"Taking over a club of the magnitude of Manchester United is an awesome prospect," he added. "But ultimately a football club is a football club and I shall simply try to run things at Old Trafford in what I believe to be the right way."

Wow, from Goth to Teaparty...that is a leap of faith.It was reported yesterday that several republican congressmen were giddy because of the gov shutdown. That sure sounds like someone working to avoid it.
I've seen several tweets commenting that the tweeter (twit?) could smell alcohol on the breaths of a significant portion of congresscritters. Like, half of them.
The Tea Party provoked the government shut down by buying into the "austerity means more revenue" argument, and then insisted that it had to be their way or no way. Given how well shutting the government down went for the Republicans last time, I expect this will ultimately lead down the same path.
First of all, I would hate being a righteous prick. My talents are few as it is. I'd hate that to be the only thing I was good at.Two, I think these guys are hoping that when all of this comes back to bite them in the ass, that they aren't there. Wherever that is. Though they still want to be in congress. And since they get to draw the district lines, they probably will be.When everything is wrong, its hard to come up with a strategy to fix things. There is no place to start.
Grayson's not far left. He's pure awesome.
Rachel Maddow, on her show, showed Republican congressman/women coming out and voicing their happiness over it.-Nam
On Wednesday afternoon at the Word War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) confronted a female U.S. Park Service Ranger as she was preventing non-veteran tourists from entering the temporarily-closed park due to this week's government shutdown.

Remember who won supporting actor Sunday night at the Golden Globes? Or screenplay? Or score? Best movie — well there are two of those, so it's confusing before they even get to the envelope.
Who cares?
What stays with you is the intimacy, the ease, the unfiltered fun of the night. Like a big family gathering, egos are checked at the door, grudges are set aside. The mood swings between effervescent (the endless bubbly helps) and electric. Newcomers, old-timers, nearly everyone let their nerves get the best of them. Let me just say — Jacqueline Bisset, Jon Voight, Alfonso Cuarón, Spike Jonze — never has a stammer been more endearing.
Golden Globes 2014: Full coverage | Show highlights | Best & Worst | Top winners/nominees
If you are Meryl Streep, prepare to be a punch line. If you are Matt Damon, get ready to have Melissa McCarthy channeling your good guyness. And if you are lucky enough to be Jared Leto, with a remarkable turn in "Dallas Buyers Club," maybe the audience will shout out your name before presenter Christoph Waltz has a chance. Rowdiness is encouraged, applauded.
It's good to win, always, but what the Golden Globes has made verboten are bad sports and bad losers. How nice for a town that has made an art form out of bad behavior.
And the Globes themselves. After so many years of not mattering in so many ways, the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. awards show has become the party you wouldn't miss for the world. Yes, there is the sheer lunacy of co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, back for a second year and setting the irreverent tone, frequently with a glass of vino in hand. Yes, there are those strange golden statuettes, which, by the way, have gone from being dubious years ago to highly prized today, thanks to much more astute choices by the Foreign Press' infamous 80-or-so voting members.
But the show's clever cachet is the way it has no cachet at all. The Globes is the one awards show that we, the people, are invited to. We are never made to feel like outsiders, unwelcome guests. All those familiar faces you've watched, on big screen and small, whose exploits have filled the pages of Us and People magazines, whose tweets have amused and incensed, come to vibrant life right in front of us. There's an inclusive vibe about the entire evening that is refreshing.
And forgiving. So what if Leonardo DiCaprio mispronounced nearly every word that came out of his mouth, absolutely butchering "Philomena." He was very much in the free-floating spirit of the show. It is one of those crazy nights that definitely suits some actors better than others — Emma Thompson, her Louboutins slung over her shoulder, then tossed, in presenting the screenplay award; Matthew McConaughey doing his Texas stoner best, peace out brother; Cate Blanchett giving a nod to Judy Garland, vodka and pills.... It lent a kind of appealing reality.

The thin line between film and TV is one of the night's charms. There is so much line-crossing these days that it became one of the best running jokes thanks to Fey, Poehler and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The actress was nominated in both mediums. Snooty and sporting sunglasses when she was on the film side for her "Enough Said" performance, then chowing down on a sub when she switched to the TV side for her star turn in HBO's "Veep."
Being game, like Dreyfus and so many others, brings a kind of humanity to the event that cuts through the veneer that usually separates Hollywood from the rest of us. The winners tossed their notes, lost their lists and let their emotions flood the stage.
Voices quivered, like "All Is Lost" composer Alex Ebert's, and broke, as did Bisset's for her "Dancing on the Edge" win. Tears welled as Amy Adams gripped her Globe for "American Hustle." There was Jennifer Lawrence, another "American Hustle" winner, gushing, "Parks and Recreation's Poehler screaming, " I never win anything!" and "Gravity" director Cuarón explaining that, when he told his star Sandra Bullock he was going to get her "herpes," he meant an "earpiece." It felt spontaneous rather than scripted, and it worked.
Humility ruled the day — highlights were Bono's tribute to Nelson Mandela captured in U2's winning song and Steve McQueen, director of the best dramatic movie, thanking his wife for putting Solomon Northup's book, "12 Years a Slave," in his hands.
Even the fumbles were fun. When all else — or the teleprompter — fails, try the truth, like "The Wolf of Wall Street's" Jonah Hill and Margot Robbie, who made their personal disaster on stage a delight. Robbie conceded she didn't want to improvise, and blushed charmingly; Hill vamped famously.
So Oscar beware, you're in danger of being outshined and outplayed by the group that handles Hollywood sans the kid gloves. For one brief and shining moment, at the Golden Globes, the stars do indeed feel like us. Real people, only better dressed.
