Topic Moos--too fucking sensitive...DuHs...idiot meatheadsPosted by Marzipan
Ok, so a friend of mine's sister had a kid about a year and a half ago who suffered a medical malpractice accident that led to nerve damage in her left arm. The kid goes to some sort of therapy to regain use of her arm. Today on Facebook she posted a note that the kid had some progress in rehab for the nerve damage. I posted "Yay! She deserves a treat." I mean that since the kid put up with a painful medical procedure, she ought to get an ice cream cone or something. Moo jumps my shit in an email, says "my child is not a dog." Erm...I didn't mean a fucking milkbone... Then DuH sends me a note that "if said what he heard I said, I'd better watch my ass..." Fuck's sake...I was happy the kid had a good day...now I risk losing my friend because his sister (Bratleigh's mom) jumped to conclusion and called her goon hubby into the picture... I give up.
Aren't parents the most wonderful people on Earth??!! They're so wonderful and loving and giving that they waste no time sending you a not-too-veiled threat to maim you over a perceived slight. Gosh why don't we all want to become parents?! Pigs. Especially him. If that's how he treats someone who posted a 5-word comment not to his liking on Face-Fucking-Book, imagine how he keeps Mrs Pig in-line if she ever says anything he doesn't like. - - - - - - - - "The death of creativity is a pram in the hallway" - Cyril Connolly
I wouldn't put up with that covert nonsense for another moment, if you care about any of the other posters. I would simply post something like this in the public area, "It was brought to my attention that a comment I made regarding Bratley deserving a "treat" for completing her therapy of last week was completely misunderstood. I would like to apologize if my comment was taken in any offensive way because that is not how it was intended. I meant with utmost sincerity that after having had to put up with that gruelling therapy that it would be nice to treat her to an icecream or a fun afternoon at a park, or something equally enjoyable. Perhaps some people think of the word "treat" in a way different than my own, but I always thought of it as something fun or pleasurable that was given as a well deserved prize upon the completion of something important or perhaps a difficult task. Then I absolutely would not respond to them in private OR public again and would most likely not ever post at all. That is RIDICULOUS to be that sensitive over semantics, EVEN IF something nasty was said and it was especially immature for the big bad hubby to put in his two cents in this case.
kidlesskim, you are too nice in these circumstances... I would reward such a raw example of stupidity with a display of sarcasm and slashing polite insults. this is an ill and uneducated moron who is unaware of the meaning of 'treat'. What 'normal' person doesn't use 'treat' when talking to a child anyway? I think Marzipan is dealing with hillbilly level trailer trash who didn't get out of 6th grade. Matter of fact, if I get the link, I could go lob a bomb and point that out to dick for brains duh.
now I risk losing my friend because her mom jumped to conclusion and called her goon hubby into the picture... This is your friend's sister with the brat, right? Why would you risk losing your friend? And if you did, because of something as moronic as this, good riddance, IMO. You don't need yet another breeder-pleaser in your life.

Friend is uncle of bratleigh, mom is the "slighted" party, goon hubby is an idiot.
No good deed goes unpunished. What is wrong with these people? "Treat" is used all the time to apply to people. Even adults--I say it to my DH all the time, like after he fixed the furnace, &c. WHY are people so TOUCHY?! The threat from the idiot hubs is not cool. I'd go with annie35's suggestion. My instinct would be to push back hard--I wouldn't like some dick trying to intimidate me. "Are you out of your mind? Are you that stupid that you don't understand I was trying to praise your daughter? What is WRONG with you?" But with some if not many if not most people, it's wasted breath. I'd shun these folks but then I'm not the world's most sociable person. Anyways, I hope the OP feels better. Sheesh, it was just a friendly sentiment! Lord.
The idiots and asshole prortion of the population grows day by day. WTIF is with someone who gets upset at the word "treat". I'd tell Moo AND Duh that you don't take kindly to threats and are considering taking out a restraining order on idiot Duh. Jeezus Kee-rist! People really are getting dumber by the day!
Even IF your comment had "sarcasm siren!" all over it, even IF you had instead said something like "Wow, what does he want, a biscuit?" -- what the hell right does he have to threaten you with physical violence? I'd put something public up on the page pointing out that comment to all onlookers. Show him up for being the childish neanderthal he is. Embarrass him. Make his dick shrink to the size of a button mushroom, if it isn't already naturally. - - - - - - - - "The death of creativity is a pram in the hallway" - Cyril Connolly

Did just that. Dropped them off my friend list. Kept my friend (Moo's Brother, friend for 20 yrs). Made it clear that his sister/nieces/nephews are a forbidden subject for me. DuH's not worth the effort to file the TRO. One, I am well-armed (gotta love the 2nd Amendment) and Two, I am 7 months away from being a lawyer, I could file it myself, but the hassle/cost to serve him with process would be a waste of time. I got him to delete his inane comments, and I got a pseudo-apology from him. Case Closed.
OOOOH. I bet you're SKEEEEEERED. Shine up the ol' sidearm and tell him to bring it on. While you're at it, tell him to shut his fucking pie hole and enjoy the nice malpractice settlement I'm sure they got, or you'll file harrassment charges. Don't grovel over this. Explain yourself ONCE and get on with life. And tell the duh fuckwad if he messes with you, his kids' disability and worrying what people are saying about it will be the very least of his problems. Fucking asshole parents. They think once they've spawned that they've got cart blanche authority to go around making terroristic threats to anyone who remotely disses their pweshus widdle snowfwake. Better yet, you should bask in the warm glow of the thought that those dipshits are so defensive because they are probably stressed out to the max with their damaged loaf and really hatin' life.

friend?? what friend?? two cents ¢¢ CERTIFIED HOSEHEAD!!! people (especially women) do not give ONE DAMN about what they inflict on children and I defy anyone to prove me wrong: The selfish wants of adults outweigh the needs of the child. If I want to hear the pitter-patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my pets. Mankind and its needs (wants) are like unto a black hole. It devours all available resources and it never is full: it merely grows larger and demands more. Definition of 'wealthy': Anyone who makes more/has more than you do. Someone pointed out that I'm a realist. And all along I thought I was just a pessimist crossed with a cynic. Entitlement, thy name is mooooooooooooooo "Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen. Add to this that, many of those who refuse or are unable to prove they are citizens, will receive free insurance paid for by those who are."" Politicians are like diapers: both need changing regularly.
Um, we don't give a polished shit what you think. Don't you have any idea where you are, you illiterate slob?
Yeah, you're a fine judge of that, now aren't you? Thanks for digging up a four year old thread, idiot.

Test Scores Counter Argument For More Funding
Travis Perry / Kansas Watchdog - Tue 04:02 PM 08/28/2012
Students' ACT test scores released last week suggest more money doesn't improve performance.
The results, released by the state, come as school districts across Kansas on Wednesday will make their respective cases for funding increases.
Kansas high school students who took the ACT this year averaged a composite score of 21.9 out of a possible 36, down from 22 in 2011, though 29 percent of the students met college readiness benchmarks in English, math, reading and science, which is up from 28 percent last year.
Both scores beat the national averages — a 21.1 composite score and 25 percent for college benchmarks.
In the past five years, the Kansas Department of Education said in a news release, the state hasn't seen much fluctuation in the overall score average. But the trend goes back at least twice as far. In 2002, the average score in Kansas was 21.6.
But while overall ACT performance has remained relatively flat, one number has risen consistently — public education funding.
A decade ago, Kansas schools spent an average of $8,488 per student, according to figures from the Kansas Policy Institute, a Wichita think-tank that advocates for free-market solutions and personal freedom. That number has since risen to $12,454 in the 2011-12 school year.
Kansas funds districts at a rate of $6,932 per pupil, while the remainder is filled out by local property taxes and federal money.
Dave Trabert, KPI President, said state and school officials need to focus on the resources they have rather than simply pump more money into the system.
"Everywhere you look you find information that makes it pretty clear that there's not a correlation or a causation between spending a lot more money and achieving a lot more; it's not there," Trabert said.
Trabert points to states such as Colorado and Texas, saying they spend about $1,000 less per pupil than Kansas while posting better scores on tests like the ACT. He says it's more important to properly use the resources at hand rather than to throw more money at the problem.
Tom Foster, director for Career Standards and Assessment Services for the Kansas Department of Education, agreed with Trabert — to some extent.
"There's no one thing that's going to solve the problem," Foster said. "I think just putting more money at it without any other changes is not going to work as well as we'd like it to work."
Foster said state education officials are addressing the issue highlighted by the ACT, which, he said, can be solved at least in part with a greater focus on getting students college- and career-ready.
"Part of the problem with an ACT score is a lot of kids don't get it until the end of their junior year or the end of their senior year, and then it's a little late in the game," Foster said.
Officials with the Kansas National Education Association, the state union for education professionals, could not be reached for comment Monday or Tuesday.
"Money doesn't make the difference, but putting an effective teacher in front of a kid is the number one thing that's going to raise achievement levels," Trabert said.

The Kansas Department of Education did not need to spend money to figure out that it is not money that drives test scores. What drives test scores is good parenting in all aspects of a child's life. A good teacher is nice to have, but if a child does not have a good work ethic and discipline or desire to learn, then a good teacher will make no difference in that child's test scores. Breakdown of the family is what is destroying America, followed closely by, surprise, spending too much money to fund every good idea that some legislator (Republican or Democrat) thinks up.

RedNeckWatch, I agree that parenting plays a roll in the success of our students. However, I totally think you missed the boat on having a "good teacher" in every classroom. It is not only "nice to have" but necessary. A great teacher can make all the difference! The truth is "money" is important because in order to attract our best to education it takes more money. Teachers are the single most important factor in determining whether a student will be successful or not. Parents are their children's first teachers and play a very vital role, but there have been plenty of bad parents who have raised exceptional individuals. "You can change your stars." I am an example of what great teachers can do. Every child has a right to a qualified, exceptional teacher. If we could attract better teachers.......scores would go up.

SalinaLady19 -- I understand what you are saying, but just disagree. exceptional teachers are, by definition, exceptional and not normal. Most teachers are average teachers and average teachers are by definition good teachers. I had 3 exceptional teachers throughout my education in Salina, college, and post graduate education. Average worked fine for me and my friends, who have all worked and earned success to one degree or another. I think we tend to blame teachers way too much for student failure, and having personal experience dealing with parents, see the correlation between engaged and interested parents and successful students. THere are ex captions, of course, but the vast majority of students with parents who don't care or don't keep track of their child's progress are poor students. I also think the statistics are hard to argue with, which are that we spent less for more the further back in time we go. I believe money is at the root of all evil and creates more problems than it solves.

Wow, RedNeckWatch as someone who is married to an exceptional teacher, I couldn't agree with you more. My wife is an amazingly exceptional teacher, and while she's only been teaching a few years every year more and more students specifically ask for her class. Even a former student who graduated last year who got a C in her class told his younger brother to take my wife's class as it would better prepare him for the future. All the great talks about my wife aside, if parental involvement isn't there my wife would fall flat. That being said, I HATE statistics because no one ever goes to investigate why.

For example: (And I'm not bashing pre-school) Children who attend pre-school tested higher, and learned better than those who did not. It was thought for nearly a decade that pre-school was the reason. Later studies determined that parents who are actively involved enough to put their child in an early childhood educational program are also types of parents who are actively involved in their children's lives and push them to be successful.

Furthermore, one commercial many of us hear on the radio lately involves the "National Association of Realtors". The commercial makes a quote stating something to the extent of children whose parents own their own home are more intelligent, have more confidence, and are better equipped. NO KIDDING? The "National Association of Realtors" needs to stop piggy backing off the fact that children who have parents who don't work dead end jobs, and who are sound investors in life are more than likely to succeed. Children with parents who are in control of their finances and don't appear stressed every night are going to be happier. OH MY GOSH right? Anyways, that's my 6am rant!

Redneckwatch, I see your point. It is true that most middle class students will probably do pretty well with a fairly normal teacher. I guess those aren't the students I was thinking about. So, it seems we are talking about apples and oranges. I am more focused on the students who don't have that parent support you mention. For those kids, the teacher makes all the difference in where they end up. It takes an exceptional teacher to help these students catch up to those who had a better start in life. Maybe this is more about "one size fits all" or rather how it doesn't.

ALl of you make excellent points. I would ahve to agree with you SalinaLady19 when it comes to children without parental support. There only hope is to have teachers take them under their wings and try to inspire them to work and learn. ANd I certainly agree that economics makes a huge difference in success because kids and parents who are not under that kind of stress are more likely to succeed. Overall great points.

I'd like to congratulate all the commenters so far. This is the first time I've read a story on this site followed by sensible, intelligent responses! Having said that, I think we should be wary of the source of htis info and maybe even question why it was chosen to be published as a news story. It's obviously from a group with an interest in reducing school spending in Kansas, but I don't think there's any clear connection between spending and ACT scores (unless it's studied over a really long time).

I'd have to agree with redneckwatch, I watched the other kids in my class and those who had family problems usally did not succeed well in school. They struggled through elementary and middle schools, and by the time they got to high school, they were labled with "learning disabilities" and put in the special education classes. Which was a load of crock. Most of them were smart and could read just fine, they just lacked the motivation to do their homework and turn it in. And a classmate that I had actually had a learning disability, but he did pretty well with a little help and even went to community college, but his parents were very proactive in his school work. And I come from a school where everyone has most of the same teachers.Yes, some were better than others, and maybe once in a while, they were able to get thru to one of their students. But I would guess that was pretty rare.

I know parents are busy with their jobs and what not, but if they would just turn off the tv and sit down with thier kids every night and just make sure they did their homework, I bet it would make a big difference.

YOu are so right amywho. That is the minimum in my opinion. I know of some students over the apst few years who are now at prestigous schools. Their parents TAUGHT them and made sure they LEARNED the lessons being taught at school by going over the homework. I even know 2 group of parents who bought the books and student manuals to learn and follow along to make sure their kids were getting it. ANd it paid off.

Look at the salina school system that spends millions of dollars i salaries to personnel that are not teachers. The superintendent alone takes a big cut for himself as do the many principles and vice principles. Lets not forget the monies paid to bilingual personal when we live in a country where English is the language. I want monies to go to the teachers that teach our children. Take a look at the salaries posted for the school district and see the waste.

We excel because our people excel. We look after them, develop them, and nurture them. We give them training and teach them what we know.

We want to help our employees, their families and neighbours by providing jobs and training, contributing to the local economy and helping where we can with schools and charities.

The audience at UFC's first ever, main event in China, saw Middleweight Asian Sanshou Fighter Cung Le delivered an overhand devastating right hook to returning middle weight champion, Rich Franklin. UFC fans worldwide, including China's new and enthusiastic UFC fan base, were surprised by the upset, but not for Le's Shaolin Kung Fu family.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 18, 2012
To celebrate the Shaolin & Sanshou in the US, Shaolin Institute will host a US Open Challenge (inter school amateur friendly fighting smoker party) on December 8th at Give West High School in Norcross GA. For friendship Kung Fu & Sanshou competition & party, all martial artists, fans and public are invited. 770-286-9808; http://www.shaolin-world.net
The audience at UFC's first ever, main event in China, saw Middleweight Asian Sanshou Fighter Cung Le delivered an overhand devastating right hook to returning middle weight champion, Rich Franklin, resulting in a knockout win at the 2:17 mark in UFC158.
With a record of (9-2), and nursing a severely injured foot suffered during his August win against Patrick Cote (UFC148), Le was considered the "underdog" against Franklin (29-7). In spite of the odds, Cung Le achieved what some are calling," the greatest win of his career". UFC fans worldwide, including China's new and enthusiastic UFC fan base, were surprised by the upset, but not for Le's Shaolin family.
Cung Le's first Sanshou coach and mentor, Grand Master Shawn Liu (Shi Deru), founder and President of LIU International Shaolin Institute in the southeastern U.S., knew that his student would rise to the challenge, as Le always had before, especially when Cung Le started going back to his Chinese Sanshou root, training with his old Kung Fu Sanshou team family member Scott Sheeley. Master Liu explained that while most fighters training focuses on bodybuilding and attack and defense techniques, Shaolin trained athletes receive a broad range of martial arts training focused on producing total "mind-body wellness" besides specific combat simulation dills, strategic combat awareness.
In traditional Kung Fu, Tai-Chi develops not only mind-fullness, mind-body consciousness, balance, flexibility, and self-control but strategic combat and self-defense skills. Meditation frees the mind and facilitates tremendous focus and Qi flow. Shaolin Kung Fu techniques combined with rigorous Sanshou training produces athletes with superior body mind awareness, extra senses, strength, speed, skills and agility, like Sanshou champion Cung Le. According to Master Liu, one should never underestimate the ability or tenacity of a Shaolin trained athlete.
Their intricate training fully equips them to rise to meet any challenge, regardless of circumstances. Cung Le is a superior Sanshou athlete who has and will continue to make his Shaolin family proud.

Actually I do you unthinkable delusional piece of fuck shit....I knew what the post was from the beginning and for the fuck of it asked what the point was just to see how many closed minded, lowlife, fuck tarted, people would respond to me with the weakest, lamest, poor responses possible to say, and sure as shit that was accomplished...this shit is too funny to me
Hey dipshit, it's make fun of the ABOVE poster, jesus christ, were you born feet first???
dude....its not that serious
Of course people are gonna knock you down a peg or two Jonnhythabezt. What your doing is just irritating. You're right that "its not that serious" but calling you a "dipshit" is such a true fact that you can't be not serious about it. Now if I was to call Chief a dipshit we'd all know I was joking. But I can understand your confusion. A thread made to assault but yet your norm made you unsure on what to do. Fuck you chief you reach around giving butt fucked receiving piece of dung. Now you give it a try.
PS: You called us all "close minded". So what was your new idea? Also what was "accomplished". You wanted to read the "weakest, lamest, poor responses possible to say"? That doesn't sound like fun at all. I know when someones trying to dodge a bullet (Insults). If your sorry just say your sorry.
I'm am truly not sorry. I truly don't care. We each had our fun with this and I got over this while it was happening. dodging a bullet? Come on man. Do you really think I'm actually concerned with what people actually think about me on this thread and whether or not I made myself look smart or ridiculous for the question I asked? Not at all. Shane you have a great day and the rest of everyone in here. Correct me if I wrong but did I not say Im just playing yall ... Happy Sunday?

Saturday Afternoon Update: Hurricane Sandy to Bring 60 mph Winds, Heavy Rain Monday and Tuesday
Rivers could continue to flood Wednesday through Friday, National Weather Service warns.
Update 12:30 p.m. Saturday - Hurricane Sandy briefly diminished Saturday morning and turned into a tropical storm, but the storm has since picked up speed and is a hurricane once again.
"These subtle upward and downward status changes make no difference in the major, widespread impacts we expect in the next few days," The Weather Channel reported.
Tropical storm-force winds are already hitting the North Carolina coast as Hurricane Sandy moves north-northeast at 9 mph from its current location more than 300 miles southeast of Charleston, S.C. Sustained winds are at 75 mph with higher gusts.
Clouds will increase throughout the afternoon Saturday and scattered showers may start around 1 a.m. Sunday. The weather during the Marine Corps Marathon Sunday morning will be cloudy with scattered showers, temperatures in the mid-50s and wind from the north at 10 to 20 mph.
Temperatures Sunday will remain in the 50s as the rain and wind both intensify.
Gov. Bob McDonnell will be speaking to the media at 1 p.m. today about storm preparations being taken by the Commonwealth. Virginia, D.C. and Maryland officials all declared states of emergency Friday.
As is to be expected ahead of strong storms, many grocery stores are running low on water, batteries and ice.
The City of Alexandria has asked its residents not to rake leaves to the curb ahead of this storm, as those leaves could block storm drains.
Verizon, which experienced massive 911 outages following the June 29 derecho, says it is ready for this storm.
For complete storm coverage, including preparation tips and more, go to the news tab above and click on our Hurricane Sandy section. Also follow Northern Virginia Patch Weather on Facebook.
Original Post - 5:30 a.m. Saturday
Although Hurricane Sandy is likely to weaken into a tropical storm Saturday as it tracks north, forecasters continue to warn that the hurricane hybrid dubbed "Frankenstorm" will deliver a serious punch to Northern Virginia, the District and Maryland as it moves through the area in the coming days.
The hurricane appears to be starting to morph into the much-discussed combined weather system.
"Sandy is showing characteristics of a hybrid cyclone," the National Weather Service noted in its Friday night discussion of the storm posted on its Web site. "That means it has some attributes of a hurricane and some of a nor'easter," the Capital Weather Gang explained in its blog.
Early Saturday morning the hurricane was located about 375 miles south/southeast of Charleston, with winds blowing at 75 miles per hour as it continues its trek north at about 7 miles per hour, according to the National Weather Service. A turn to the northeast is expected Saturday night or Sunday.
Hurricane-force winds extend out 70 miles from the eye of the storm and tropical storm-force winds extend out 435 miles, according to the National Weather Service.
WJLA's meteorologist Bob Ryan explained it this way on the station's weather blog that as the storm continues to move north, "It will interact with a strong wave in the jet stream and then almost go through a 'metamorphosis' from a weak tropical storm into a monster more classic East Coast winter-like coastal storm."
Gov. Bob McDonnell wasn't taking any chances with potential damage the storm could bring to Virginia. He declared a state of emergency ahead of the storm on Friday.
Rain, Wind to Begin Sunday Night
Starting Saturday, the likely scenario will see winds start to pick up speed in Northern Virginia with 20 mile-per-hour gusts Saturday ramping up to 30 to 35 miles-per-hour Sunday and then 50 to 60 miles per hour on Monday and Tuesday, forecasters say.
If predictions hold Northern Virginia will see the heaviest rain beginning Sunday night, forecasters say, continuing off and on until it tapers off on Wednesday, with several inches of rain before it is over.
Monday and Tuesday will see strong winds up to 60 miles per hour, heavy rain and likely highs of about 50 degrees, forecasters predict.
Rivers could see continued flooding Wednesday through Friday, the National Weather Service warned.
NBC-4 meteorologist Tom Kiernein notes on the station's weather team Facebook page that strongest winds may come Tuesday morning.

Do you know what the airline policies are? If someone is flying from a city not affected, do planes land fi there are heavy winds and rain? I see some airlines are waiving their change fees which makes me think they will cancel all travel to or from the east coast until Sandy leaves.
Mary Ann Barton
12:01 pm on Saturday, October 27, 2012
Just a guess that each airline will have their own policy. We do have a bit of information here on Reagan National Airport: http://patch.com/A-yZ0D

Does anyone know if we're suppose to get any snow with this in the Vienna/Northern Virginia area, or is it going to be high winds and heavy rain, but no snow? The forecasts that I've looked at all say the latter, but I keep hearing warnings of "up to 3 feet of snow".
Mary Ann Barton
3:44 pm on Saturday, October 27, 2012
ohaya, I have not seen any forecasts mentioning snow in the Vienna area — only rain and wind. Gov. McDonnell said today that VDOT will have snowplows in place along the West Virginia border.

With plenty of time to prepare, no one should be buying bottled water and ice (unless you have no freezer). You can make ice yourself today by putting containers of water in the freezer, and fill soup pots and other containers with tap water. Leave the bottled water and ice for people who actually need it when the time comes.

Since power outages are inevitable having a long run time flashlight is a good idea.

Santos settles in during Thursday's outing
Reliever Reid Santos has been struggling with his command since coming down to the Aeros June 3 from Triple-A Buffalo, owning a 4.41 ERA in 17 appearances. In 34 2/3 innings he has given up 17 runs on 35 hits with an uncharacteristic 11 walks.
But Santos may have turned the corner in Thursday's 4-1 win over Erie. Looking more like the dominant set-up man he was for the Aeros in 2007, the lefty struck out the first five of six batters he faced to earn his first win since May 7th of last year.

Crowe settling in at Buffalo
Former Aeros outfielder Trevor Crowe finally stayed healthy enough to earn a promotion to Triple-A Buffalo last week, and he's not letting it get away from him. After going hitless in his first game, the switch-hitting leadoff man has hits in his last four games, including going 3-for-5 with his second Bisons home run on Tuesday. That's two home runs in just five games.

LaPorta's true character revealed in collision at plate
I've purposely waited a few days to write about Matt LaPorta, the hotshot slugger obtained as the center piece in the C.C. Sabathia trade.
Everyone else can hurry up and go on record to gush about him, but I just wanted to see him play first, a couple of games at least. It's only been three, but I feel a little better about weighing in. I fell even better about it in a week or two. Until then...

All Stars, Roster Moves and More!
Randy Newsom didn't have much time to celebrate being one of four Aeros players named Wednesday to the Eastern League All-Star Game. Not long after hearing the All-Star news, Newsom (5-0, 1.75 ERA) also learned he had been promoted to Triple-A Buffalo.
Between the two bits of exciting news, Wednesday quickly turned into a cause for celebration for the underdog Newsom. He was once a relatively unknown side-armer who was acquired by the Indians as the player to be named later in the 2006 trade that sent outfielder Coco Crisp and pitcher David Riske to Boston and brought third baseman Andy Marte and catcher Kelly Shoppach to Cleveland.

Not as happy with fit as I have been with my other 10 pair I have purchased. Might get a size larger next time. Usually never feel like I need to break them in. Still the best Brand EVER!

Comments about Original Mush:
I have bought pair after pair after pair of this shoe for the last 12 years. I wear them all summer long, for about 3 or 4 years, and when they are completely worn through the sole, I buy the exact same shoe and do it all again. I can't even begin to describe how much these shoes mean to me. I find them more comfortable than sneakers when shopping or going to an amusement park. There is nothing negative that I could ever say about these shoes. Amazing!!!
Best Uses
Comments about Original Mush:
I have about 5 pairs of Teva Original Mush. I love them and wear them every chance I get. They are by far the most comfortable flip flops I have ever found and will not wear any other brand now. They are very durable and will last several years. I have a relatively wide foot and they fit nicely. I have found that the Original Mush are wider than the Mush II. Buy these! You will not regret it! I even bought several of my friends a pair and now it's all they will wear too! I have converted at least 5 people!

History In The Making |
DENTON, Texas - The entire North Texas soccer team and its fans gathered into the club level of Apogee Stadium Monday at 3:00 p.m. to witness the NCAA selection show for the NCAA Division 1 Women's Soccer National Championship. The Mean Green soccer team had to wait until the final bracket was revealed placing North Texas in the bottom right against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. NT last played Texas Tech in 2010 in Lubbock, a game that the Mean Green lost by one in the Red Raider Classic tournament. North Texas (16-4-2) is coming off possibly its best season in school history having won the regular season championship and SBC tournament. Texas Tech (15-5-1) came in third in the Big 12 and lost in the second round of its conference tournament to Baylor, the eventual champion. NT soccer has a chance to make history and advance in the NCAA championships for the first time in the program's 11 years. The previous two attempts in 2004 and 2005 resulted in first round exits. The first round matchup will take place in Lubbock, Texas this upcoming weekend on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. STREAMING INFORMATION FOR THE GAME: The game will be streamed by Texas Tech TV. Fans can also follow the Mean Green on facebook and twitter. |

Universal Companies is in the business of helping people. Our mission is to create educational, cultural and entrepreneurial opportunities that will stimulate the development of wealth within historically disenfranchised communities.
To accomplish this, Universal Companies focused on the identification and removal of systemic barriers to wealth creation within urban settings.
The premise of the Universal Plan is simple – without a comprehensive approach to community development, true neighborhood revitalization will never occur. This is particularly true in the African-American community, which faces significant challenges on many levels. Nearly 50% of African-Americans live in the country's largest 8 urban areas, many of them low-income. Therefore, the key to revitalizing the African-American community lies in revitalizing America's cities. The Universal Plan for Urban America is a multi-pronged approach to reinvesting in urban America – and in the African-American community.
Among the goals of the Plan are:
The Universal Plan seeks to create a balanced development outcome, encompassing diversity of income and diversity of ethnicity. To do this, Universal Companies has taken the following approaches:
This last is particularly important, and Universal has broadened its approach to assist neighborhood residents in building this capacity, through educational and social services, workforce development, and technical skills learning. This community development model, targeting education reform and community revitalization simultaneously, is at the heart of the Universal Plan, and has become a national model for a new approach to community development.
Universal Companies is a not-for-profit "Community Development and Community Management Corporation" formed under the efforts and direction of one of Philadelphia's greatest talents, Mr. Kenneth Gamble, world-renowned musical writer, composer, producer and founder and CEO of Philadelphia International Records. Mr. Gamble has been credited for being a pioneer in the development of soul/rhythm and blues music in America. Since 1960, Mr. Gamble has written, produces, and recorded more than 3,000 songs performed by numerous artists and is credited as the creator of "THE SOUND OF PHILADELPHIA (TSOP)." TSOP has placed Philadelphia on the International Map as a Mecca for the music industry and promoted Philadelphia worldwide. Since it's inception in 1993, Universal has built the capacity to challenge and reverse the effects of urban decline, which include economic and social disinvestments; poor quality housing, lack of job opportunities, high crime levels, poor quality of education, and an overall poor quality of life.
Universal Companies is fortunate to have many private and public-sector partners providing support to numerous programs and initiatives. They are as follows:

Next-gen iPhone components reportedly leaked (yawn)
Do you own an iPhone 5? Do you love cradling it in your hands as you bask in the envy of all your friends?
Well enjoy the feeling while it lasts, because it's time for the iPhone rumor-mill to start cranking out leaks for the new iPhone. Two new photos posted today by French blog nowhereelse.fr claims that Apple is already looking at the iPhone 5S and iPhone 6. The photos are of speaker components, and when compared to the current iPhone 5 appear to have changed slightly, indicating that Apple is already looking at revised models of their iPhone.
Several analysts have predicted that Apple will launch a cheaper, no-contract iPhone this year, retailing between $350-$450.

Fisheries Minister Jim Anderton today thanked the seafood industry for its contribution to the Shared Fisheries consultation process that finished yesterday.
Shared fisheries are those where commercial, customary and amateur fishers all target the same species. Snapper, blue cod, kahawai, tarakihi, gurnard, rock lobster (crayfish) and paua are all examples.
Jim Anderton said the overall goal of the Shared Fisheries proposals is to allow all New Zealanders to maximise the value they get from those fisheries within sustainable limits.
"The commercial fishing sector is a big part of that and I'm happy they have engaged in the consultation process constructively. I acknowledge the work of the Seafood Industry Council in facilitating industry input. Co-operation between Government, industry and other stakeholders will be the key to maximising the value of our shared fisheries. The industry's suggestions to improve the management of Shared Fisheries are helpful and will be given careful consideration.
"New Zealanders are passionate about the sea and their freedom to fish. As expected, groups have offered strong views and different perspectives. The Government will listen to and consider all these views before making decisions on the best way to manage shared fisheries. Deciding how our fisheries are allocated between the sectors is a very difficult job, but it is the Government's job to make the necessary hard decisions.
"Some elements within the commercial sector have overreacted and claimed the Government is proposing to expropriate property rights and undermine the 1992 Fisheries Deed of Settlement with Maori," Jim Anderton said. "This is, of course, nonsense. The Government will not, under any circumstances, undermine the Deed of Settlement or the Quota Management System that underpins sustainability of our fisheries.
"While the final policy has yet to be developed and agreed by Cabinet, I am personally committed to ensuring that any reallocation of quota will be fully compensated, and conducted on a willing-buyer, willing-seller basis.
"Seafic has said ongoing uncertainty around fishing rights is among the biggest factors that undermines fishing industry confidence and reduces possible investment. The commercial seafood sector is an important export earner for New Zealand and ensuring the industry has a stable investment environment is a top priority for the Government. The Shared Fisheries project is all about getting that certainty," Jim Anderton said.
The aim is to have final decisions on reforms, and the nature and timing of implementation, taken by Cabinet by mid-2007.

The three other recipients are being tested for rabies, and health authorities are looking for family members or health care workers who might have had close contact with the donor or the recipient who died to see if they might also have the disease, said CDC spokeswoman Melissa Dankel.
Why organs aren't tested for rabies
Before the airman died in Florida, he was experiencing "changes in mental status," according to Kuehnert. He said the donor tested negative for several causes of encephalitis, including West Nile Virus and herpes.
Organ donors are not routinely tested for rabies, even if they show the signs. One reason is rabies is extremely rare, with only one to three cases a year nationwide, according to Dr. Richard Franka, the CDC's acting rabies team lead.
Also, many lifesaving organs would be lost if donors were tested for rabies. Only three or four facilities in the country are capable of testing for rabies in humans, Franka said, which means most hospitals would have to ship a potential donor's blood or tissue. It could take two days to get test results, and by then the organs would no longer be usable.
Kuehnert said perhaps new rules need to be put in place to help doctors decide what to do with organs when the donor has died of encephalitis and no one knows why.
"What we need looking forward is a standardized approach when you have encephalitis of unknown cause so very important things like this aren't missed," he said.
At least one transplant surgeon won't take organs when the donor has died of encephalitis of unknown origin.
Dr. Amy Friedman, director of transplantation at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York, said the risk is too big.
But she added that she does kidney transplants, and her patients can survive, at least in the short term, on dialysis. Other patients waiting for organs such as hearts or livers might die quickly without a transplant -- and sometimes the only organ available is one where the patient died of encephalitis and no one knows why.
