Skip to comments.NASA: Polar ice sheets are melting
Posted on 12/06/2012 9:16:39 AM PST by edcoil
Ice sheets at both of Earth's poles are melting rapidly, and the rate of loss has increased since the 1990s, a new NASA-sponsored study shows.
The study, which combines extensive data from aircraft and satellites, is believed to be the most precise assessment of its kind.
(Excerpt) Read more at ocregister.com ...
And how is this relevant to Primary Mission "Muslim outreach" ?
NASA no longer does space exploration. Heck, they don't even have launch capability.
So, they focus on proving global warming and muslim outreach.
Same as what Romney would have had them do. /SARCASM
haven't heard much about the "hole in the Ozone layer" lately. Guess it's closed up.
chicken little, henny penny, goosey loosey, cocky lockey and ducky daddle all concur.
I'm not believing this unless they have a hockey stick graph PROVING it!
Probably caused by my uncle's big ass Cadillac...
Climate changes. That's hardly scientifically controversial. Show me some evidence that the King Kanuts at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have the power to stop it.
"Hey!...We are too, relevant!...See, we'll produce reports to support your BS agenda!...See!...Wait!....."
NASA as prostitute....
It'll probably be closed until the patent on refrigerant R134a expires.
It took 40 million years to build up the antarctic ice cap and those G.D. Bitter Clingers are melting it down in one generation!
If this keeps up, in a few decades we might return to the climate conditions of the Medieval Warm Period.
I'm guessing that the Antarctic ice-sheet is currently melting faster than the arctic ice-sheet.
Oh No!
Home energy should be shut off at 11:00pm in Blue States to save the planet.
Shouldn't they be looking the other way?
Sorry, NASA.
You lost your connection to science around the time that you started Muslim outreach.
Go back to your rooms, close the door, and STFU.
Am I the only one who thinks it would be GREAT if the polar ice really was melting?
I don't believe any of the AGW BS, but I'm pretty sure the Sahara was once a lush jungle. Seems to me, more water in the atmosphere might be a good thing.
Obama is doing his part to combat Global Warming by keeping the victims of Hurricane Sandy living in homes with no heat and no electric.
So? Who cares? This earth is always changing! IDIOTS!
You know, the ice in my manhattan last night also melted!
Second verse same as the first.
More BS from government parasites trying to justify their waste of tax dollars.
Cleaning the roast beef sandwich from my monitor. lol
Good. It will open up fishing opportunities in the area. If we're lucky, enough will melt to kill a bunch of dangerous, predatory polar bears.
Watching the History Channel's "History of Mankind" the other evening they had a segment on the Mongol empire under Genghis Khan. What caused the Mongols to leave their homeland and seek to conquer other lands?
A period of global warming turned lush and green Mongolia into a barren desert in the 12th century.
Funny, there was mention of the sun causing this warming period but no mention of it being a man-caused event as we must suffer through today.
Garbage In = Stopped up pot.
How telling is that little snippet?
We just know it's there, but it's just "elusive".
I wonder if they have Muslim-transgendered toilet/prayer rooms on the space station. My guess is this is why they've had to scale back the space program so much in recent years.
Hmmm...that's funny. NASA's own website shows the antarctic ice sheet has been near or ABOVE long-term means for several years now.
NASA disagrees with itself: http://nsidc.org/research/projects.html
A very good SCIENTIFIC rebuttal here:
Why ice loss and sea level measurements via satellite and the new Shepherd et al paper are highly uncertain at the moment By Anthony Watts.
'Climate change' ain't just a state of mind or political reality thingy I reckun .. melt happens.
How many ice ages have come and gone long before al gore ever set foot in his research lab?
Did ya know the antarctic sheets are melting Right NOW! And last summer the arctic sheets were melting too! Omg run for the hills cause the sea is rising!!!!!
Now that Zero has won reelection, they are going to be pushing Cap and Tax really hard, both at the administrative level (EPA), executive order, and legislatively (Will likely be inserted into the "Fiscal Cliff" legislation or Debt ceiling legislation)
Who would believe anything from a group infested wth serial liars like James Hansen ?
Is this NASA's new mission???
If this latest pile of bunk is claimed to be the most precise are they then comparing this to past imprecse data?
Well, it could be a solution to our problem of both coasts being saturated with liberals. I'm okay with that...;)
A report by whom... James Hansen?

It's safe to say that by now we're all in the-know about the comeback of 70s fashion, especially when it comes to the wide-leg denim trend. Clearly we're into it, but we're not going to lie—we totally wish it would have come back with a bit more edge. So when we came across this killer editorial in the June 2011 edition of Style Singapore featuring some amazing denim looks with true 70s glam rock cred we were totally hyped to say the least. Modernized to perfection yet keeping with the drama that was 70s glam this has totally satisfied our fashion cravings!

Awesome find, but size runs small
"I really loved that these sneakers are lightweight. It was really comfy except for the fact that it was too small. I've always been a size 6 and I've never had problems ordering shoes online until now. I had to return it but by then the style and color had sold out in stores and online. So my suggestion for future buyers -- buy half a size larger than usual."

right shoe, wrong size?
"I ordered a size 11 med (big feet, I know), but this was like a whole inch shorter than my other pair of New Balance shoes. It says 11B, like my other shoes, but these fit like a 10. Sending them back to try again."

Issues addressed include: express waivers of review in plea agreements; what constitutes deficient advice and prejudice sufficient for a finding of ineffective assistance; the retroactive application of Padilla to cases on post-conviction review; federal habeas review of state court decisions rejecting Padilla-type claims; procedural default, successive petition, and time bars to federal habeas review of Padilla claims; and other collateral relief.

This Just In ...
Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
So Kev, what happened with those Franklin referenda?
In 2007, yours truly single-handedly waged a PR war against
The controversial $78.17 million two-question
The referendum was set up so that to pass both questions required a majority of school district voters to say "yes." By a wide margin, voters said "no" to both questions.
Question 1:
Question 2:
This year I also tried to persuade voters to turn thumbs down to three referenda, for lack of merit assuredly, but primarily because of poor timing for the expense. Tuesday's
Two of the three passed with a total price tag of $33 million. That's a lot of tax money during a non-recovery recession.
Here are Tuesday's results.
So what happened? What happened between the 2007 ballot bomb and this year's 2/3 success?
In an issue of Wisconsin School News put out by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards around the time of the 2007 election, Tom Joynt of the Administrative Leadership Department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee wrote about successful referendum strategies. The basis of his article is a 20-question survey that was mailed to the superintendents in all 70 school districts that had a successful referendum in 2005 or 2006. Forty-four completed surveys were returned, a response rate of 63 percent.
The survey was split into two sections: "Deciding to Hold a Referendum," and "Strategies Used after a Decision Was Made to Hold a Referendum."
In the "Deciding" section, the lowest-rated item was asking for student input on needs that were finally included in the final referendum. More weight was given to community input and opinions from staff.
After the decision was made to hold a referendum, there was a strong consensus to provide special information to parents and the media. I'm sure the
The Wisconsin School News survey also generated strong support for providing district residents with estimates of the tax impact of a referendum. Here, I believe the
Another survey idea that received a high endorsement if you wanted to have a successful referendum was to send a brochure to all community residents explaining all accurate details. Maybe
The survey respondents also highly recommended holding public forums. Now this, the
The personal comments on the survey were very, very interesting.
The superintendent in Oakfield, Joe Heinzelman warned, "Make sure you follow through on what you say will happen if a referendum fails." The author of the article Tom Joynt writes, "Empty hyperbole and overstated claims before a referendum will haunt public officials for many years." In
According to Joynt's article, Sue Alexander, superintendent of Markesan "felt unity of the school board in supporting a referendum is significant." Interesting. In Franklin, right before the 2007 election campaign, two incumbent school board members chose not to run. Three school board seats were filled on April 3 with all three candidates running unopposed, two of them opposed to the referenda.
Jamie Benson, superintendent in
Superintendent David Wessel of Spencer offered this advice: "make sure you ask for enough," but he also added, "don't go overboard."
And finally, Joynt writes, and this is where
And so we have in
In 2007, the
Doors to the Assembly reportedly were locked so no one could leave and no one could enter to see and hear what was going on.
I wrote the following at the time:
"The impropriety of this action by
It smacks of a desperate, underhanded, sleazy maneuver by folks who must be very worried about the outcome of the election. On principle alone, these referenda need to be resoundingly rejected.
Shame on the
"Now that the school district has given the senior class a civics lesson and is encouraging them to exercise their right and privilege to vote(many for the first time):
1. Will they be excused from school to vote?
2. Will the students get a lesson in how to register to vote; how to determine what district they live in; and where their polling place is located?
3. Will they provide transportation to the polls?
4. Will they earn a grade for voting---how are the students going to be assessed following this civics lesson? Will they have to wear the I Voted sticker as proof of voting?
5. Will they tack on an additional 2 hours to the make up school days since the students missed first/second hour to attend this civic lesson?
I have more questions to add but the most important one is:
When will the investigation into the legality of this action begin? Who will be held accountable?"
So what happened? Why did the referenda fail so miserably? There were many factors that contributed to the referenda defeat in 2007 that tie in with Tuesday's results where two out of three referenda were approved.
1) Sticker shock. The $78-million price tag was simply too high in 2007. This time, the cost was much lower, and divvied up into three separate questions.
2) No guarantees. In 2007, the school district could not convince voters that spending $78-million would automatically result in dramatic improvement in student achievement. This time around the district as it did in 2007 never argued academics. It argued needs for the kids. And More voters than not bought in.
3) Empty promises. At their own informational meetings in 2007, school officials admitted that even if the referenda were approved, class sizes might not get smaller. This time, referenda supporters made no promises of any kind, again stressing needs.
4) Blank check. The school district had no plans, no drawings of what the new high school would look like, and no site for the new school. This time, there were viewable drawings.
5) Timing. Property owners in 2007 had just paid their bills a few months ago.
6) Needs vs. wants. The school district needed a Buick, but asked for a Rolls Royce in 2007. This time they asked for a Buick.
7) Attitude. It's never good to insult the voters. They saw right through the arrogant, "But you just don't understand, let me try to explain it to you" approach in 2007. Less condescension in 2012.
8) Bad omen I. Two School Board members chose not to seek re-election in 2007. In 2012, most school board members voted to put the three referenda on the ballot.
9) Bad omen II. The main cheerleader for the referenda, the school superintendent, came out of a closed door meeting with the School Board and said he was resigning. In 2012, the main architect of the referenda, Superintendent Steve Patz was a cheerleader bent on getting the votes.
10) The public trust. Add #'s 8 and 9, and your credibility with the public was eroding in 2007. That obviously wasn't the case in 2012.
11) Bad PR. Someone put fliers promoting the referenda in City Hall in 2007. It came to our attention, the fliers were removed immediately for obvious reasons. In 2012, the shenanigans were almost non-existent.
12) More bad PR. The Friday before the 2007 election,
13) Major miscalculation. 2007 supporters thought they could go to the voters, play the guilt card, proclaim "it's for the children," and ask for the moon. Thinking the tax revolt was dead, they underestimated the anger of the taxpayers, who sent a loud and clear message at the polls. The same should have happened this time, but enough voters bought into the "these needs are for the children" spin.
Now we have future projects that will include ongoing operation and maintenance costs. Don't blame me and the other NO voters every December when the bill comes due in your mailbox.

|In response to Re: 'instant hot water'
: want to install a return loop system in my hot water lines to allow hot water to be virtually instantaneously available to reduce the wait and the waste of water we are currently experiencing. Understand the basic hook-up, but saw a Nibco product called 'just right' that gets installed into the cold water inlet, where most info states you must go through the lowest point avbailable into the heater...being the drain valve port. I see by adding a nipple and a tee I can access the drain port, but felt I can tee into the incoming line more easily. Won't this take the 'return' water down the inlet tube and still give me the convection results I am looking for?
: Rather than the Nibco product I was going to use a brass check valve to prevent flow in the wrong direction when there is a demand for hot water.
: What do you reccommend?

Attention all Hip-Hop Fans!!!
I think this is shaping up to be very interesting
who do you guys think would win?
The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.
"Reality is wrong, dreams are for real"
Jay-z hands down mos def is good wit the lyrics and all but when it comes down to it hove is on a different level!
this looks like gold for mtv....
anyway, jay-z for me, the verve, linkin park... all great bands that when mixed with jay-z they grow even bigger
~My DeviantArt Account|My Mangashare Gallery~
Are you a One Piece Fan? Then click HERE, you wont regret it!!!
Gonna have to go with Jay-Z on this one ..
Currently Reading:
Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail, Gantz, Medaka Box, Beelzebub, Soul Eater, Claymore, Ao no Exorcist
Have any of you guys listened to Black on Both Sides? or Mos Def's new album, The Ecstatic? currently, in a head to head battle, Mos would slaughter Jay..and you guys obviously don't know that MF DOOM is on Mos' team.
The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.
"Reality is wrong, dreams are for real"
To make things easier for you, listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVZQdgVcqD8
EDIT: Charles Hamilton is a singer nd Young Jeezy? his name doesn't deserve to be mentioned here; its not that he's terrible but the guys in discussion are way out of his league. Gucci Mane? that guy raps with soulja boy.
The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.
"Reality is wrong, dreams are for real"
well lets keep this civil lol kanyes early work is insane with the lyrics from his first two albums even his 808's was lyrical in a different matter charles hamilton a singer?? I urge you to do your research now on him and your right Black has no reason to believe he is any where near Jay-z's level once again I say that Black is not bad he is just not above the bar jay-z sets and I also think you are severly underestimating Young Jeezy listen to Thug motivation or Thuggin 101 he is a good ass lyricist just because he doesnt have the same flow doesnt mean he is bad. And calling GUCCI a bad rapper is border line ridiculous he did one song with soulja boy who I agree is terrible but again listen to some of his songs the man is ridicoulous with his rythmes but again Gucci wit jay-z is just a far off dream of mine.
ps sorry about the run on sentences ;p
I was gonna say posting before emotional debates. And then post my opinion, but I was too late.
As far as lyrical wise? Depends. They are two different rappers from two different backgrounds. Mos is more on the knowledgeable side. Usually putting spins to words and meanings and have a little hip hop in it. But trying to appeal to a newr rap audience his lyrics are all outdated.
Jay spits from the street while boasting about being a successful business man. Selling drugs while coming up to be the success that he is today. More corporate style if you will. But he does it so well it seems like hip hop.
Honestly this will boil down to who has the biggest fanbase. And since Jay has it most likely he will win it.

Dirty Jobs: Toughest Jobs DVD
In a totally unscripted format, DIRTY JOBS is a gauntlet of danger, fear, and humiliation, steadfastly endured by our intrepid host. Rowe assumes the duties of the job in question and works alongside Sewer Inspector, Zoo Poop Picker Uppers, Road Kill Collectors, Chinatown Garbage collector, Pig farmer... Average folks doing extraordinary work that simply must get done. Rowe is a tremendously good sport, and a perfect conduit between worker and viewer. His interactions are both earnest and ironic, and the results are enlightening, horrifying, hilarious, and very, very, real. In the end, viewers are left with an appreciation for hard working people, and a better understanding of what it takes to tackle tough jobs. No one will watch these segments and say, "That's a job I'd like to try," but everyone will be glad that somebody else is doing them.

PRICE-Juanna Buchanan Migliore died peacefully Nov. 23, 2007 on a beautiful and sunny late fall morning in her hometown of Price.
She was born to John and June Miller Buchanan in Helper on July 21, 1914 and, with the exception of seven years back East, she lived her life in Price.
Juanna eloped in 1934 to marry her beau Francesco Antonio Migliore (Doc to his friends and patients) in Washington, DC. They lived there and in Chicago until 1940 before returning to their roots in Price where Doc used his chiropractic skills to support his family including Michael and Launa Lee (Harvey). Doc died in 1983 and Michael in 1994 as a later-life consequence of service to his country in Vietnam. Juanna also mourned the loss of her sister Bertha (Spratling) and brothers Harry and Robert (Buck).
Juanna was an exceptional seamstress who made beautiful clothes for Launa, many friends in Price, and costumes for her grandchildren Brandon and Megan. This interest led her to work for many years selling materials and sewing notions in Price Trading where her skills and outgoing personality gained her many friends. Juanna and family spent happy times at the cabin Doc built in Scofield, a magical place now used by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandson Elliot.
Juanna was a beautiful, independent, friendly, and honest lady who dealt cheerfully with life's many challenges. She was actively involved in her community and the oldest Past President of the Price Ladies of Elks.
Her family would particularly like to thank her neighbor Norma Petrie who helped Juanna achieve her wish to live independently at home in her later years, and the amazing and caring ladies at Hospice especially Jessie who helped make that independence possible. A special thanks also to Drs. Etzel and Boyle. Juanna will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
Funeral services were held on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2007, at Mitchell Funeral Home in Price at 11 a.m. with a viewing at 10 a.m. In lieu of flowers please donate to Rocky Mountain Hospice at 60 East 100 North in Price, or the charity of your choice. Interment, Price City Cemetery.

Sales Ready Leads: Quality vs. Quantity
Smashmouth Marketing
The topic of Quality vs. Quantity in demand gen has been a constant debate. Whether it's inbound marketing or outbound marketing there are costs associated with a lead, there are costs associated with the time and effort needed to convert that lead to an opportunity, and there are costs tied to the quality of those leads and how that impacts conversion rates. As David Greenberg, Sr. Quality Vendor.
6 steps to writing a better Request for Proposals, a primer
Confluent Forms
We believe strongly in Requests for Proposals (RFPs) as a tool for companies to find the best products and services at competitive prices, but also as an evaluation method for finding that elusive "best fit". However, too often the RFP process is run by people who have never experienced the process before, either from the issuer or vendor side, and essentially don't know what to say or what to ask.
Why Are Marketing Automation Managers So Hard to Find?
Even though some vendors have been around for almost 10 years, Marketing Automation is still relatively new. According to Forrester, only 2-5% of B2B firms have invested in full-featured Marketing Automation. But that percentage is rapidly growing. Increasingly, B2B companies realize that Marketing Automation software requires skilled operators. But – if you decide to hire a Marketing Automation manager – what should you look for, and where do you find them? New technology requires people with a new set of skills, nothing new about that. But that's for web analysts.

5 quick tips to writing better proposals (RFP responses)

We're frequently asked for any tips we might have for people writing proposal responses to Requests for Proposals (RFP) that they've received. After finding us through the RFP Database , seeing the abundance of RFPs that it contains, and knowing that all of those RFPs are open competitions, the natural question is "if I'm going to spend time writing a proposal it has got to be a winner". Faced with the situation of having to read 300+ pages of different vendors' proposals many people read the first page and then start skimming, and if they're not skimming, their minds are probably going numb.

Is social media effective for B2B lead generation?
Sales Lead Insights
I'm probably biased, but I believe the primary objective of business-to-business marketing is driving sales of the company's products and services. Of course branding and awareness are also roles that can be played effectively by B2B marketing, but from my point of view these are only supporting roles—secondary to the primary objective of helping drive sales. Yet many of these same companies eventually come to the realization that not every prospective customer is ready to buy now. What's all this have to do with social media? about a survey they recently conducted. Not bad!

Developing your Go/No-Go decision tree
Confluent Forms
The situation: A potentially juicy RFP falls into your lap. You try not to get too excited because you know that creating a winning proposal can be an expensive and time-consuming affair. Before you get invested in the project proposal you want to determine whether this is, in fact, a worthwhile project for you to chase, or one that you should pass. Companies should always be taking a hard look and evaluating their leads as a way of increasing their win percentage and return on investment (proposal writing), but this is especially important in today's tough economic environment.

MISSION MATTERS: I Chose You
- John 15:16-17
Today we celebrate the feast of Saint Matthias. From the beginning of the Acts of the Apostles, we know he was chosen in prayer to replace Judas as one of the Apostles. Any other information about his life and death is vague and contradictory. We can assume that Matthias knew Jesus and was one of His disciples, though Jesus did not include him in the select group of Apostles until after His Ascension.
Regardless of those details, we are all like Saint Matthias ... we have all been chosen by God to be adopted children of God, to live our lives in ways which bear fruit — not just for today, but fruit reflecting God's love of all of us and our love for one another. We may not be called to be apostles with a capital 'A,' but we have all been chose to be apostles in the way God wants us.
In the Spiritual Exercises, Saint Ignatius wants each person to experience the fact that he or she is chosen by God, personally, specifically. Ignatius wants us all to know this in the core of our being, not just intellectually, but spiritually and emotionally. Only this way are we able to live our lives in ways which will produce more than short-term accomplishments, but fruit which will truly build the Kingdom of God and help others. It is in knowing and accepting we are chosen to be apostles of Christ that we will be able to try to live God's commandment to love one another — not just in the easy times with the easy people, but to try to live and love each person in our world — those easy to love, and those we find difficult to love.
Because we are chosen, we are all called to live our lives beyond the superficial. We are all called to work to treat each other in each moment of each day with respect, concern and caring that comes from the knowledge that God loves me, and that person, the other. We are called and chosen to recognize the hatred and lack of respect for other we often find in ourselves and others. We are called to the knowledge that hatred and disrespect needs to be confronted, not with more hatred or disrespect, but with the love we all seek as our goal. We are all called to be better apostles each day.
In this time between our celebration of Christ's Ascension and the ever-presence of God in Pentecost, let us each pray that we grow in our awareness that we are, in fact, chosen people. We are each called to live our lives as God's apostles in all parts of our lives ... with each person and in each place we are given.
Let us be confident in God's love and choice of us, so we might strive to live more and more in the peace and joy God continues to give each of us.
May we enter our summers with a new purpose ... a higher purpose that lead to a common and greater good for us all.
Have a blessed summer ... you are chosen by God.
D. Highberger, S.J.

I started writing these Tech Tips articles back in December of 2004. I've written on many topics, from digital cameras to computer spyware.Whether or not these articles are of any value to readers is anyone's guess. But, hoping they do something good, I continue to write them.
My goal has been to make technical topics less complicated for average readers. Part of what makes a technical column valuable is if it provides useful and insightful information.
If the column provides information that the reader cannot digest or interpret, the information is worthless.
Likewise, if the information isn't relevant or pertinent to the reader, the information is useless.
With that in mind, I want to improve the quality of this column, to increase its usefulness. In other words, I would like your comments and suggestions.
What types of technologies would you like to know more about? What could I do to improve these columns?
Now, I can't give exact "how-to" instructions on specific equipment, as setups and configurations vary between manufacturers (Canon cameras versus Nikon cameras, Linksys routers versus Netgear routers, and so forth).
I also can't delve into topics that can't be explained to some extent in a small column. Some topics are simply too complicated to explain in a single column (things like, "how do I design web pages?" or "how to I set up a computer network for my office?"
But I can explain many concepts, expound on various principles and hopefully, help you learn something you didn't already know.
If you would like to send me comments, you may call me at 435-637-0732 (extension 31), or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bitonti at the Senior Bowl
Bit's back in Mobile and here is just an ounce of feedback I got:
Bit and Brady Quinn where in the same place at the same time as they arrived....The minute Quinn received a "hospitality bag" from the Senior Bowl, he ran into the men rooms and angerily dumbed everything into the trash, but kept the bag...Seemed very upset and seemed like your typical "spoiled brat"....
Bit was on the plane with the Minnesota Vikings' contingent....Said former Jets DC Ted Cottrell was complaining about several things during the flight -- seats too cramped -- "what are we, damn sardines here?", ect.....Bit's words -- the Vikings, including Brad Childress, look like a bunch of losers
Cottrell was sitting next to Vikings safety Corey Chavous -- a draftnik, who wants to a be a G.M. one day. Bit said Chavous just ignored Teddy for the whole trip
Players that have looked good, so far:
QB Drew Stanton....LB's David Harris and Stew Bradley of Nebraska...Bradley might really surprise people, according to one scout at the Senior Bowl...He's a high school kick returner/quarterback, who grew into a real good linebacker at Nebraska -- but had some injuries...
Brian Leonard is waaay down in weight: 224 pounds...
Quentin Moses...249 pounds....He'll have to play OLB, perhaps, not DE.
19 year old senior DT Amobi Okoye of Louisville weighed 274, not 320 pounds (as reported)....
Chris Leak is 5' 11"; Troy Smith and Tyler Palko are barely over 6'
More S.B. info check Bit's blog:
After I talk to him tonight, I'll try to give more stories that we wouldn't print at DD.com -- i.e. Quinn acting like a punk; and Cottrell complaining on the plane....
Wow Okoye is looking smaller than expected.

Festool saw blades are engineered and designed for cutting efficiency, long-life, and superior cutting results. The carbide tipped Panther Ripping blade for the TS 55 Plunge Cut Saw is an excellent fast-cutting rip blade with an aggressive hook angle and deep gullets for use with both hard and soft woods. This blade incorporates an offset tooth design known as ATB (Alternating Top Bevel), allowing the blade to cut alternately to the left and right, generating a more efficient and cleaner cut in all types of wood. This thin-kerfed blade design meets less resistance, for more efficient cutting, and produces less material waste. Laser cut expansion slots reduce vibration for faster, quieter cutting. An oversized 20mm arbor enables more secure fastening of the blade to the saw, further reducing vibration for more precise cutting.

Skip to comments.Obama says today's GOP would reject Ronald Reagan
Posted on 04/03/2012 2:16:14 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement
WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama said Tuesday Republicans want to force a "radical vision" on the nation, accusing the opposition party of moving so far to the right that even one of its beloved figures, Ronald Reagan, could not win a GOP presidential primary.
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
Didn't everyone also say in 1979 that Reagan couldn't win the nomination?
He's wrong about why but he's right.
"Think about that. Ronald Reagan, who as I recall was not accused of being a tax-and-spend socialist, understood repeatedly that when the deficit started to get out of control that for him to make a deal he would have to propose both spending cuts and tax increases," Obama said. "He did it multiple times. He could not get through a Republican primary today."
The East Coast country club, executive type of GOP establishment didn't like Reagan back in the day and we are going to get stuck with their pick of Romney. Sad......
This gigantic bag of crap is neither. He is a Communist usurper and a charlatan.
Reagan would have been at the Tea Party rallies. No doubt.
The donkey speaks the truth by accident. Reagan would not win GOP nomination with present day idiots. This is not your father's GOP for sure!
You do not speak for the GOP or many Americans for that matter.
And you would not make a pimple on Ronald Reagan's ass so STFU
I remember well. He had Rat Speaker Tip O'Neill telling him that EVERY budget he submitted was dead-on-arrival in the House. Reagan raised taxes because he was forced to to deal with the Rats. And back then, most of the Rats actually wanted America to succeed and stay strong. I do not believe that is true today.
I totally disagree that Reagan would not survive a Republican primary today, although I admit the establishment Pubbies have been very successful at front-loading their loser RINOs since Reagan. But Reagan was the best communicator in my lifetime, and I think he had the ability to cut through the noise and make his case. Though now the MSM is also a far more malicious advocate for the left, Reagan had a way about him that put them in their place. Don't forget his "I paid for this mic" moment. Awesome!!
Obama is a moron.
We learned in the Reagan wera that Democrats cannot be trusted. We learned we cannot make deals with them. We learned that they do not negotiate in good faith.
etc etc
Well, if Ronald Reagan were here, you damn sure wouldn't be.
"Hes wrong about why but hes right."
I agree.
President Reagan is probably spinning in his grave now.
LOL. They tried to reject him in 1980. They did reject him in 1976. They did their best to undermine him during his administration. The republican party establishment never liked Reagan until he was out of power. Then it was "Me and Ronnie won the cold war together."
The current R establishment would die a thousand deaths were Reagan running again.
That's OK, today's demwits would reject JFK.
So, Obama's taking notes from the pro-Romney crowd here on FR?
"Reagan would have been at the Tea Party rallies" - Amen to that.
Reagan drew his inspiration from the stories of the days when men stood astride this nation, shore to shore and border to border. Somehow, there seem to be very few such stories being studied or even related today. Those who are in positions of power in the financial and business worlds, seem both timid and devious at the same time, as if they were ashamed of what they had to do to get where they are at. Men in high positions in the government who have never had to go out and defend the honor and trust of the nation in a meaningful way, seem willing to trade away that honor and trust for personal advantage, and for obscure goals in trying to create a fantasy world that has never been functional at any time in history.
Obama has no inkling of what a magnificent force of nature Ronald Reagan was, able to wrest control of the "bully pulpit" of the Presidency from the hands of those who would not, could not, use its potential for the common good, not only of America, but the world, building that beacon that stood at the center of the shining city on the hill.
Perhaps the Reagan era was not America's finest hour, but those were pretty good times.
Especially considering the dystopia we have sunk into, and which promises to become much, much worse.
They are polar opposites.
A clearcut case of the pot calling the kettle... uh... black.
Obama's vision is to take America straight into the Marxian State, and anything to the right of that is anathema.
Ronald Reagan would, of course, be utterly and absolutely appalled at the current political monkeyshines.
Today's Dem Party would reject John Kennedy.
You make a good point with your graphic there. In fact, I think the modern GOP party should be renamed to the CRICKET PARTY! Don't they sound so pretty when they all chirp together? I wish at least one had a spine.
Reagan also learned that the Dems were lying to him so he fought back by shutting the government down several times to FORCE the spending cuts they "promised" in statute.
Reagan's last three FY budgets had declining and small deficits even compared to today's. They were in the $150 billion range.
And back then the liberal MSM types were SCREAMING about debt. Now they look at Obama's unprecedented deficits and yawn or jump on the "can't cut because our food will suddenly be poisoned" BS bandwagon.
If any idiot left wing moron gets in my face and tries to argue that limiting the size and scope of the federal government means "kids will get sick and die" or "instantly our air would become toxic" etc. (yes, they make these kind of ridiculous arguements) then I'll knock them on their ass!
That is correct. He would not want to be part of today's GOP. Listen to his speeches in the 50's and 60's on socialized health care. He touts the Conservative line, not the RINO line.
How dare this ASSCLOWN presume to tell us what WE would do. Next thing you know, he'll be telling the Supreme Court what to do...
Really? Why do you care who we could elect?
Really? Why do you care who we could elect?
JFK would be considered a republican today. He was staunchly anti-communist and a capitalist, unlike today's democrats.
No they would not have!
Not many who have always been died in the wool Democrats around here admit to being Democrats because of jackasses like Obama who have moved so far to the left they are circling the planet.
Ronald Reagan and Mitt Romney would be on the opposite side of every major issue facing America today.
Hardly. The country hadn't yet been through the hell Clinton and Obama have put it through. The rino leaders of the party wouldn't want him but they didn't want him then either.
Besides I always listen to liberal Marxists telling me about what my side would and wouldn't want.

Hopefully I can get some good advice here -- searched the site and didn't quite find an answer to my newly occurring problem. I'm gonna call my plumber soon but figured I'd post first, just to see if I can solve this myself. This post is really long because I want to explain everything clearly and thoroughly.
I'm in a condo, efficiency kitchen, with very little room to spare. My kitchen sink is really just a large bar sink (14" x 16"), and it mounts through a granite countertop into a non-standard sink basin cabinet (non-standard because it's only 18" wide -- it's actually just a regular cabinet that I'm using as a sink basin). On one side of the sink, under the granite countertop, is an 18" dishwasher (which I very rarely use -- maybe 2 times per year, just to run it). On the other side of the sink, under the granite counter, is an Equator combo washer/dryer (ventless, single box, runs on 110V). All of this stuff hooks in below my sink, along with a garbage disposal and refrigerator ice dispenser water line. So, it's REALLY crowded under there, and I have basically no room to maneuver.
I have no air gap. Instead, when my plumber installed the dishwasher, he just looped the drain hose pretty high under the sink basin, so it's almost as high as the top of the sink. I assume this is fine (right??).
My problem is, how do I drain the Equator washer/dryer? Can I drain this just like I drain the diswasher, into the same 7/8" intake line that's built into the garbage disposal, taking care to loop the washer/dryer drain line high under the sink basin? [The inside diameter of the Equator's flexible gray drain hose is 7/8", which I think is the same as the dishwasher's drain hose.]
Here's the deal. When I did all the remodeling about 3 years ago, I jury-rigged a standpipe under the sink that connected, via a 1.5" PVC "T", to the garbage disposal's drain line. In other words, the middle of this "T" connected to the garbage disposal drain, the bottom of the "T" goes to the sink trap/sewer drain, and the top of the "T" was connected to a makeshift standpipe that I was barely able to sneak up the inside wall of the undersink cabinet, almost to the top of the sink (standpipe was about 33" from the floor). The gray rubber/plastic Equator drain hose rested just inside the top of this standpipe. [Hopefully all of this makes sense].
This seemed to work fine for the past 2 years or so -- no flooding or leaks or anything -- even though I had always been concerned that the directional PVC "T" that connected the Equator washer/dryer to the disposal drain and sink trap/sewer wouldn't allow enough of the washer/dryer water to flow. This is because the directional downspout -- the PVC shape inside the "T" that makes it directional, by "pointing" the disposal/sink waste water downwards and letting the Equator wastewater flow in from above -- takes up a bunch of room inside the pipe (of course). This partially blocks the inside of the 1.5" PVC pipe and doesn't seem like should let all the Equator wastewater to drain at the proper rate. In fact, I still don't really understand why this ever worked without flooding, because when the Equator drains, the water comes out of that hose with tremendous force. But for whatever reason, it DID work.
Recently, I've had a problem. Now, for some reason, whenever the Equator washer/dryer tries to drain, water gushes out the top of the standpipe and floods the entire undersink cabinet. Since it used to work fine, I thought there must be a blockage somewhere, so I took off the entire standpipe assembly and inspected it -- all clear, although there was some gray crap near the bottom part of it (very little, though -- just enough to coat the inside of the PVC pipe). There were are few globs nasty crud/food waste that built up around the top and sides of the directional downspout inside the PVC "T" connector, but I don't THINK there was enough of this stuff to block the flow too much. [Just for kicks, I also undid the little PVC screw cap at the very bottom of the undersink trap, to see if the trap was clogged. I didn't think was the problem, since the sink drained fine, and indeed the trap was all clear when I stuck my finger up in there.] Since the only obstruction I could find was the few globs of crap that accumulated around the directional downspout (inside the "T" connector), I ASSUME this caused the problem -- maybe there was just barely enough clearance inside this connector to prevent a flood in the first place, and those globs caused just enough of an additional occlusion to flood the standpipe.
I never liked that directional "T" connector in the first place, but it's what the plumbing supply store guy told me to use. I just don't understand what good it does, for my purposes. I COULD just replace it with a regular, non-direction, PVC "T" connector and see if that works. However, this means I'd also have to reinstall the whole standpipe assembly, which is a MAJOR pain and which I'd like to avoid if possible.
So here's what I was thinking:
(1) Get rid of the directional PVC "T" and replace it with a normal PVC elbow, so the garbage disposal drains into the undersink trap like it typically should.
(2) Get rid of the standpipe and attach the Equator drain hose directly to the garbage disposal's dishwasher input. Of course, the dishwasher still needs to drain there too. I guess I'd connect both drain hoses to the garbage disposal's dishwasher input by buying some sort of 7/8" (inner diameter) PVC adapter (like a "Y"-shape, to avoid right angles -- hopefully such a thing is readily available). So, this would allow me to connect both the dishwasher AND Equator drain hoses to it.
(3) Remember that I have no air gap, so I'd need to make sure both the dishwasher and Equator drain hoses loop as close to the top of the undersink cabinet as possible (i.e., as high as possible). That's all I need to worry about, right? [Note that I don't fully understand the concept of the air gap enough to know how high it needs to be, how it really functions, etc.]
(4) I'd want to ensure that no wastewater from the sink or 1 of the 2 appliances (dishwasher, Equator) can back up into the other appliance. I assume the only way to do this would be to have 1-way check valves on each appliance's drain hose, ideally as close as possible to the disposal's dishwasher input. 1 of these check valves would be inline with the dishwasher's drain hose, and the other would be inline with the Equator's drain hose. I don't think the Equator has a built-in 1-way valve. The dishwasher, an 18" Frigidaire MRD251RHR, supposedly does have a built-in check valve. However, this check valve is inside the dishwasher rather than at the far end of the drain hose, which doesn't seem ideal (you wouldn't want random wastewater, especially under pressure, sitting in the hose, right?). So can I get small, in-line, 1-way check valves that'd still give me about the full 7/8" of inside clearance for the dishwasher and Equator wastewater to flow freely and forcefully? I assume such things exist. Is the check-valve thing a good idea, or is it totally unnecessary overkill? [Basically, what I think would be ideal, would be a 7/8" "Y"-shaped device with 1-way check valves on both forks of the "Y," to prevent backflow into these forks.]
Would this work? What would I need to be careful about? Thoughts, comments, creative ideas, etc.? Being as specific as possible would really help!! Again, my main concerns are: (1) ensuring adequate, free-flowing drainage, (2) preventing flooding under the sink, and(3) preventing wastewater from backing up into any of the appliances. Also, VERY important: nothing I do can take up much space, because there's so little room in the undersink basin, and I REALLY don't want to have to detach the garbage disposal and other stuff to finish this job (there's essentially zero room to maneuver under there).
