TERRE HAUTE — The sudden death of 57-year-old Matt Branam on Friday morning continues to leave an air of sadness hanging over the community. As a hometown boy who rose to prominence as a successful business executive in the public and private sectors before returning to his alma mater to serve as president of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Branam's story was uniquely local. His voice on behalf of Terre Haute and the college he led was as crisp and credible as any that have existed here in decades. To be in his presence was to know that Branam was an accomplished and ambitious man. There was nothing ambiguous about the manner in which he viewed or approached his role as a leader both in the community and at Rose-Hulman. His vision for both was clear and provocative. He wanted and demanded the best. It was clear that Rose-Hulman, already known and respected as among the best engineering schools in the nation, was enjoying renewed sense of mission and vigor under Branam's leadership. Although he had been at the helm for only a short time, the Rose community felt his presence. He raised the energy level and had the college pursuing even greater excellence than it had previously achieved. Branam was a Terre Haute native, having grown up in the community and graduated with North Vigo High School's first graduating class in 1972. He attended Indiana State University, and ultimately earned a degree at Rose-Hulman. He then set out on a business career that took him into a prominent position with United Parcel Service, and later as head of the American Red Cross. He came to back to Rose to serve as interim president while a national search was conducted to replace Gerald Jakubowski. But many, including college trustees, were so impressed with how he was handling the position that they asked him to stay as permanent president. It was, apparently, a job he embraced and grew to love. He was back in his hometown and held one of the community's most important and prestigious professional positions. His is a wonderful story that ended much too soon. We join the community in offering condolences to Branam's family and to the men and women who make up Rose-Hulman's administration, faculty, staff and student body. The community shares their loss.

The celebration season
Spring has been a bit elusive at times in 2013, which is its nature.
EDITORIAL: Noteworthy in the news: MVC tourney an event worth having
It's been a long time since the Missouri Valley Conference chose Indiana State University to host its post-season baseball tournament, but Terre Haute had never been more prepared for an event such as this.
EDITORIAL: Cleaning up voter rolls
It's not a lot of money in the big scheme of things, but the $2 million designated in the recent session of the General Assembly will begin the messy but necessary process of cleaning up Indiana's voter registration rolls.
EDITORIAL: Waging the 'readiness' campaign
Almost every Hoosier who starts college intends to finish. Unfortunately, those who arrive on campus unprepared in key academic areas are far less likely to fulfill that aspiration.
EDITORIAL: Insult to an independent press
Distrust of government secrecy has been elevated to an exceptional level with the disclosure the Justice Department covertly examined two months of Associated Press phone records to determine who leaked details to the AP about a foiled terrorist plot.
EDITORIAL: Noteworthy in the news: Dashing finish for the Sycamores
It's always thrilling to see Indiana State University's athletic teams do well in high-level competition, and two specific teams rose to impressive heights last weekend in the Missouri Valley Conference outdoor track and field championships.
EDITORIAL: Better monitoring needed to prevent local environmental messes
The nasty, hazardous messes lurking in the community raise a bottom-line, red-flag question. Could these environmental problems have been monitored and, thus, prevented?
EDITORIAL: Memo to U.S.A.: You can 'SPPRAK' just as we do in Vigo County
Our kids, truly, are 'Making a Difference'
Some words in praise of boring government — Indiana's
A conservative Republican governor has super majorities in both branches of the legislature. One might suspect such one-party government leads to major changes in public policy. This did not happen in 2013 in Indiana.
EDITORIAL: Doc's prescient prescription
Viewed through a 2013 prism, Doc Bowen's response to the AIDS epidemic looks merely prudent, routine.
EDITORIAL: Education remains worth the cost
Within the next few weeks, each of the local colleges will have conducted graduation ceremonies. A few days later, a different Class of 2013 will don caps and gowns for commencement — the seniors at five Vigo County high schools. It is still a smart, worthy aspiration for those high school grads to replicate the achievement of those college students by earning a higher-education degree.
EDITORIAL: Good news for downtown
For decades, it seems, downtown Terre Haute has been in the throes of change
EDITORIAL: Overall, state budget step in the right direction
For average Hoosiers uninterested in political point-scoring, the budget crafted by the Indiana Legislature inspires only muted, if any, fanfare.
EDITORIAL: The lessons of organ donation
The range of emotion surrounding life-saving transplantation of a vital organ is extreme. It is the ultimate "good news-bad news" scenario.
READERS' FORUM: April 26, 2013
• Pence's tax cuts benefit wealthiest
EDITORIAL: Noteworthy in the news
This does not qualify as a surprise in any way. But the Wabash Valley's response to widespread flooding of recent days has been nothing short of impressive, even inspirational.
EDITORIAL: Still waiting for the jobs reward
The forces in control of Indiana government for most of the past decade need to show some results to Hoosiers in one primary category.
Good-paying jobs. -
MARK BENNETT: Littered with irony: Why do people callously discard their trash, and who are they?
Though they aren't acknowledged by the U.S. Census Bureau, there are basically two demographic groups of people … Those who would dump their old toilet on the banks of the Wabash River or a rural roadside. And those who wouldn't.
EDITORIAL: Doing the dirty work to clean up tossed trash
A first-of-its-kind, coast-to-coast project to remove litter from U.S. roadsides brought the Pick Up America crew through the Wabash Valley two years ago.
EDITORIAL: Keep school security a local issue
The decision to provide armed security inside a schoolhouse should be made locally.

EDITORIAL: A solution to distracted driving … stop it … now
You've got to stop. You know you do it. It's a miracle you haven't caused a tragedy already.
EDITORIAL: 'Women of Influence': 2013 selectees have given much to their communities
For the second year, United Way of the Wabash Valley has teamed up with local sponsors to select and honor a group of women who have made outstanding contributions to their communities, professions and families.
EDITORIAL: Noteworthy in the news: A new honor for our veterans
A commendation goes out today to state Rep. Clyde Kersey, a Terre Haute Democrat who led the charge this week in the Indiana House of Representatives to pay tribute to the nation's Purple Heart recipients.
EDITORIAL: Shifting view on marriage
One could argue, as many have, that Sen. Joe Donnelly did the right thing last week when he dropped his support of government-sanctioned opposition to same-sex marriage. It wasn't a radical move, considering most Democrats have now made the switch.
MAX JONES: The American Newspaper: Changing? Yes. Dying? No way!
It happened again this past January when all those "looking at the year ahead" stories started popping up on Internet "news" websites and broadcast "news" programs. Under a provocative headline reading something like "Five industries/businesses doomed to tank in the coming year," there it was, a prediction based on an unsubstantiated "expert" analysis that the newspaper industry will continue in 2013 to suffer its slide into oblivion.
EDITORIAL: A chance to change our bad cultural habits
The sight of diligent, eager young people dragging trash out of the Wabash River wetlands is both inspiring and sad.
EDITORIAL: Maintaining high standards
It's the raging buzzword in education circles these days. Everyone insists that higher standards must be met. Anything less is, doggone it, unacceptable. -

i used to play at rosedale and had a good group of people that organized days when people would come out so you knew there would be a good turnout. since this place is closer to where i live, im hoping to find a group of people to do the same at this field. ive only been there a couple times and every time there hasnt really been a group of walkons that were interested in anything other than camping in the woods until everyone's paint was gone. anyone who plays here should subscribe to this thread so we can try to organize something

In walk on play I will generally ramp my gun at 12.5, but only when everyone else has the ability to do the same. I have never seen anyone blatantly ramping to extreme rates of fire, since it would stick out so obviously when everyone else is at 12.5.
Bunkering is generally decided upon before playing. I have seen people ask to not be bunkered and people are generally fine with that. Just ask the group before you start playing whether they are ramping and whether they want to do bunkering or not.

I'm sure under some situations you could get away with ramping a little higher but I've never seen it. Most of the refs are xball players and know what 12.5 sounds like. No one has ever expressly said that it's the limit, but you're playing x ball on a psp field, so everyone just sort of goes with that.

Challenge your daughters, nieces and friends to join these inspiring young women and make their first ripple. From now until March 31st, they're searching the country to find young women who are the leaders of tomorrow. 50 rising high school juniors and seniors will be selected to become 2012 ANNpower Fellows. ANNpower Fellows are committed to creating positive and sustainable change in their communities and across the globe. Fellows will join an elite group of rising stars at their Leadership Forum to provide them with skills, tools and training need to realize their full leadership potential. Apply now!

Great Ladderball set for the money

Comments about Maranda Enterprises Double LADDERBALL:
We used the Double LADDERBALL by Maranda for a neighborhood ladderball tournament. The set worked great. You do have to be careful putting it together since it is still plastic. It would be nice if it had a way to keep score on the ladderball game itself like the Sportcraft model.We also used the Sportcraft ladderball version as well. By comparison, the Maranda set is much better than Sportcraft's. I think for half the tournament players had to keep untangling the Sportcraft's bolos. The sportcraft set kept coming apart too.Between the two sets, I would recommend the Maranda set.

See all my reviews
We use this product when camping. You can even use one of them inside the house on rainy days or way to hot days. Everyone in the house enjoys this game from 7 to 38 years old. The only thing that I don't like about it is the design for the stablilty. The bars are way to long and get in the way. Don't make the mistake of stepping on one they will break and there is sand inside of them.The price was right but I should have sprung the extra money and got a different one.

GHG data: The secretariat has developed a data interface which provides access to the most recent GHG data reported by countries that are Parties to the Climate Change Convention, and other GHG data relating specifically to the Kyoto Protocol reported by developed countries which have ratified the Kyoto Protocol.
The REDD Web Platform publishes information submitted by Parties, relevant organizations and stakeholders with the aim of sharing such information and experiences relating to REDD-plus.
Training materials: The secretariat developed the training courses on the technical review of greenhouse gas inventories from developed countries and reviews under Article 8 of the Kyoto Protocol. The training courses are offered to the experts nominated to the roster of experts by their national focal points. In addition to this, the CGE, under its work programme for 2010–2012, updated its training materials on national communications, which include: national GHG inventories; V&A assessments; and mitigation assessment. These updated training materials have been published for use by national experts involved in the preparation of national communications and other interested stakeholders.
IPCC national GHG inventory guidelines: Both developed and developing countries compiled their national GHG inventories on the basis of relevant methodological guidelines developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Cooperation and support: The Convention has put in place several mechanisms to assist developing countries with implementing mitigation action under the Convention. Such mechanisms relate to finance, technology and capacity building. International institutions like the Global Environment Facility, the green climate fund and the national communication support program also play an important role in supporting developing counties.

A tizzy is not needed in Concord
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
Republicans should take no offense at Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan establishing her own revenue estimating panel.
We suspect that one of the motivations driving Gov. Hassan's decision to form the panel is to offer more convincing clout when she winds up disagreeing with legislatively generated budgets by either the Democrats or Republicans (the latter being more likely). |

VLC starts up Kickstarter for Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 development funding
The popular media player VLC is setting its sights on Windows 8 and beyond. The developers are calling for donations to be sent forward to fund further development into hiring third-party aid. This will help create a top quality experience on Microsoft's latest platforms. At the time of writing the project has a backing of £4,532 pledged so far with 252 donators.
With 29 days to go, it's time to empty the pockets and support the team in bringing across the player's functionality to Windows 8 with an aesthetically pleasing interface. But that's not all. As the title suggests, the team is also looking at Windows Phone 8 (as mentioned in the video), which is a huge bonus for owners of new hardware from Nokia and HTC.
Snippet from the project page on Kickstarter:
"This new port will be natively integrated within the new User Experience and will also support ARM-based tablets in a subsequent release In contrast to the built-in media player, VLC for Windows 8 we intend to add support for DVDs and VCDs out-of-the box as well as unencrypted Blu-Rays. All the features known from our current releases will be retained like a full fledged equalizer, video filters and superior support for subtitles."
There are a number of VLC solutions for Windows Phone (with streaming and other functionality), but it's always better for consumers to have official support on the Store. A concept has already been drafted and the team is confident the app will be able to take full advantage of the Windows Store and with the backing of followers and fans, they hope for a speedy arrival. No word on Windows Phone progress, however.
You can add your donations on its Kickstarter page.
There are 59 comments. Sign in to commentlordofthereef says:
THIS I can got on board with. VLC has been amazing on any OS I ever ran it on. Donating now!
(P.S. We want video scrubbing not crappy 15-30 skips by pushing forward!)
Round And Round says:
Fail! Just press and hold the forward and back buttons.
TechAbstract says:
It's the same way when playing music. I never had trouble playing videos or music.
lordofthereef says:
I thought this was for wp8 when I first posted. Getting to a specific scene in a two hour movie on wp8 is fail...
KellenRS says:
I'm one of the devs who's working on this project. This Kickstarter is for Windows Phone 8 as well as Windows 8. Once we get the core VLC libs working with WinRT it will work on WP8 as well. Unless I'm overlooking something, the WP8 release should basically happen at the same time as the RT release. A beta for WP8 may even be availible sooner than the WinRT version because the store is more mature for WP8.
Your raise a great point with scrubbing. It's something I've been disapointed with in WP7/8. I actually listen to a lot of DJ sets which can be 2 hours plus. To me the holding a button approach to scrubbing isn't really accurate enough. Getting it right on a phone sized screen might be a bit of a challenge, but personally I think it's worth the effort.
For the desktop scrubbing will likely be exactly like (or extrememly close) to the Xbox Video app in the finished version.
jsnod25 says:
MPC via K-Light codec should be just fine on Surface pro... No need for VLC, though ARM support for the RT would be cool
pressstart says:
Straight up MPC-HC is more than enough. No need for codec packs :) I don't use other players anyway, so no reason for codec installations for me
Aaron M says:
"we intend to add support for DVDs" - this is pretty crucial considering W8 drops out of the box DVD support. Look forward to the release.
vel0city says:
Well, x86 computers running Windows 8 can run the regular VLC just fine.
Chances are, if you have a DVD drive, you're either using a laptop or a desktop. Both of these will almost always have an x86 processor. Although, this would be great for plugging in a USB DVD drive to a tablet if you really wanted to.
erasure25 says:
Just get the free Media Center add in..
Sulslim says:
Would be cool - Winamp for Windows 8, but W8 doesn't support the Gadgets :(((
The_Internet says:
nizzon says:
blackfire says:
Awesome indeed! Will definitely send a donation for it. MKV on Surface (RT and Pro) and the phone would be awesome! They mention some of the challenges on the post, but I think it still worth it, so I will support it. :-)
Tsyokiss says:
Yeah It would be nice to have mkv support on the phone, but if you just drop it in the video folder doesn't it automatically want to convert it to mp4.. ? -_-
DemiNutive says:
I have VLC for w8 pro and it works great, I have always used VLC on most of my PCs. Works great and I love the support of almost all video types and the 200% volume option on a laptop is great because most laptop speakers are crap
deloa84 says:
This is exciting indeed. I shall donate now.
inteller says:
dont really understand why they are asking for money, that has never been an issue on other platforms they ported it to.
Round And Round says:
And your cheap ass would make a comment like that.
lordofthereef says:
It is a legitimate question...
schlubadub says:
+1 @lordofthereef
inteller says:
don't worry people, Round and Round is my new comment stalker fan. you will find one of its smarny replies on all my comments from here on out. You all would do good to get your own personal comment stalker too, they are really fun and you don't have to feed or bathe them!
schlubadub says:
Round And Round is Like.A.Boss also known as Dont.Disturb.This.Groove also known as dozens of other names. He gets banned regularly because he is so abusive. His comments are always unhelpful and usually incredibly negative. Despite being generally reviled on here, he keeps coming back to heap scorn on everyone.
Round And Round says:
It's not a question its one of his usual complaints
DaSchnee says:
They say it in the video.. For Win8 they want to take full advantage of the metro UI but they are just some programmers no designers. They want VLC for Win8 to be beautiful
erasure25 says:
Why do you hate capitalism?
Bushybro says:
This is what I've been waiting for!!! This would make the rt even more awesome and of course WP8. Donating (in winning voice) LOL
JayTBennett says:
Donated, primarily because they have never been good at interface design and this is what they're asking for (and I should say, need for Windows 8).
As others have said you won't need VLC on Windows 8 Pro machines as the K-Lite codec pack works just fine, but for the Surface RT and other ARM devices, this app would be utterly essential
fulnix says:
Shane says:
Jeff Kibuule says:
tebugg says:
this is what i need to know before i donate. there are other "vlc" apps on the store right now but they only support streaming or wifi. will this be like the desktop app where you can play your media files from the phone itself? this kind of app is missing from the store big time. will it support mkv also? i need to know these answers before i can donate.
tebugg says:
i got the answer to my questions from the site. donated.
TechAbstract says:
I prefer KMPlayer and GOM Media Player over VLC on PC but would be nice to have on Windows ARM devices.
DieNadel says:
VLC is the best...it even can fix the broken files and play them.
Peter McCain says:
How much do I have to donate, so my name shows on the credits after every video you guys watch through VLC.
Rockartisten says:
If you donate one of your nuts, it will flash every 1000th frame. One of the developers apparently has testicular cancer, so this would be very much appreciated.
Nakazul says:
VLC rules!
camptime says:
Have been using VLC on and off over the years so decided to donat, Hope we get 5 star product. Just hope there are enought people out there to give them some support.
Dimi7287 says:
greg2k says:
Why would ARM support come in a subsequent release? I see no urgency in getting VLC to x86 tablets, there are decent alternative methods to having the Metro app, but on Windows RT there really is no alternative
Rockartisten says:
Read their proposal on Kickstarter. They roughly explain the additional work that needs to be done to bring it to ARM processors.
Tafsern says:
Windows Media Player Classic ftw! ;)
Can't wait for VLC to get out, like that player to :)
Henrik Erlandsson says:
Unfortunately their focus is only Tablets and not phones. See this response:
One of the goals of this endeavor will be to port an existing toolchain to add support for Windows on ARM devices. This toolchain could also be used and would be an absolute requirement for Windows Phone development. However, we don't have detailed plans at this point, while considering Windows Phone to be an interesting platform.
mtiede says:
I find this a little odd. Did they require "donations" for any other work they did?
clay113 says:
Did you read their site? They reason why they are asking is to not have people work on it in their spare time and have it take forever like their Android version did. I'd they get funding they will dedicate two guys to get it out faster for W8 and WP8.
clay113 says:
If not I'd
inteller says:
well it isn't coming for WP8, and they said an ARM version is coming in an subsequent release so until that materializes for sure onthe Surface I'm holding back.
clay113 says:
In the aticle yesterday they mentioned mobile devices as well so I assumed they meant porting to wp8. Oh well still getting it to RT is the main thing I care about being a Surface owner.
nsg1000 says:
newfiend says:
For all those that are complaining about donations.. Ask yourself this.. "Do I like working for free?".. I bet most of you wouldn't go to work if you didn't get some compensation..Right? I don't think what they are asking for is outrageous at all. Its a donation for all the time and work it takes. I think this is very reasonable. They could just have made VLC for tablets and put a price on it would that be better?
clay113 says:
Thank you. People want everything for free even when its a great product. Thing is a lot won't even donate and still probably end up getting it for free.
diplomat696 says:
Vlc is a great program I hope this comes through
clay113 says:
jmshub says:
VLC Media Player is a fantastic program that I have used without cost for a long time. I will use this Kickstarter as a way to give them something for their value, while speeding up progress on what will be another excellent product in the W8 app.
leo462 says:
Looking forward to it!
Murgatroyd7 says:
I guess there's a lot about Windows 8 that I don't know yet 'cause I figured you could just run the program in Compatibility Mode if it doesn't work.

Colorado's Sabatino Chen banked in a 3-pointer at the end of regulation but officials waved it off after reviewing the video, saying the ball was on his fingertips as the backboard lights went on to show time had expired.
Arizona (13-0, 1-0) outscored the Buffaloes 10-2 over the final 1:35 of regulation to force the overtime. The Buffaloes missed four of six free throws in that stretch.
The Wildcats were down by 17 points in the first half and 16 with 12:40 to go in regulation.
It was the third close win for the Wildcats, who beat Florida 65-64 on Mark Lyons' layup at the buzzer and San Diego State 68-67 on Nick Johnson's blocked shot.
Askia Booker led Colorado (10-3, 0-1) with 18 points.
Arizona's 13-0 start is the second-best in school history and best since the Wildcats won their first 16 in 1932-33.
But they survived this one by a fraction of a second.
Chen scored a career-high 15 points, 12 in the second half. Josh Scott scored 15 points and Xavier Johnson had 13 for the Buffaloes, who beat Arizona by two points to win the Pac-12 tournament last season.
Lyons overcame an awful start to score a season-high 24 points, including two free throws that tied it at 80 with 9.2 seconds left in regulation.
Solomon Hill scored 15 points for the Wildcats. His 3-pointer with 1:35 to go in the second half cut the lead to 78-73.
No. 2 Michigan 94, Northwestern 66
EVANSTON, Ill. — Trey Burke scored 23 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. added 21 and No. 2 Michigan pounded Northwestern 94-66 on Thursday night to remain unbeaten.
Off to their best start since they opened the 1985-86 season with 16 wins, the Wolverines (14-0, 1-0) had no trouble in the Big Ten opener after breezing through the non-conference portion of their schedule.
They built a 21-point halftime lead with Burke and Hardaway Jr. leading the way and were never challenged by Northwestern (9-5, 0-1).
Jared Swopshire and Kale Abrahamson each scored 11 points for Northwestern, but the Wildcats gave up the most points they have allowed this season.
No. 10 Gonzaga 78, Pepperdine 62
MALIBU, Calif. — Elias Harris scored 18 points and Kelly Olynk had 16 to lead No. 10 Gonzaga to a 78-62 victory over Pepperdine on Thursday night in the a West Coast Conference opener for both teams.
Olynk scored 14 points in the second half as the Bulldogs (14-1, 1-0 WCC) won despite shooting a season-low 43.4 percent from the field. Reserve guard David Stockton added nine points and four steals and Kevin Pangos scored nine points.
Pangos gave Gonzaga the lead for good at 38-36 on a 3-pointer and the Bulldogs pulled away to their 23rd consecutive win against Pepperdine, its longest streak against a conference opponent.

20130521 12:37 | swksvolFF | We were out one night responding to a town which had taken a legitimate brush from a tornado. We were doing our door-to-door safety check when I heard on the radio that the town we were in was totally wiped out. I said "Oh sh!t, then where are we!? Glad to see the death toll down. That was a tornado which didn't care if you did everything right; if you are in the wrong spot, then. | ||
20130521 12:35 | Deacon Blues | Interesting, if true: Stevens mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming insurgents with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft. Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap. This left Stevens in the position of having to clean up the scandalous enterprise when it became clear that the insurgents actually were al-Qaeda indeed, in the view of one of the diplomats, the same group that attacked the consulate and ended up killing Stevens. | ||

20130521 10:52 | badanov | Death toll in OKC has been revised downwards to 24. | ||
20130521 07:38 | Glenmore | Old Spook, I fear the problem is not with the GOP but with DC. I'd say it's something in the water, but I don't think they drink water there. | ||
20130521 02:07 | OldSpook | There appears to be no limit to the fecklessness of the GOP in DC. | ||
20130520 21:28 | Pappy | The GOP leadership will respond if they wish to retain power. The Tea Party and the conservative wing will put increasing pressure on the DC party. Hopefully you're right. I think they'll waver precisely because they're terrified of being accused of being tools for the Tea Party and the conservative wing. | ||
20130520 20:15 | Glenmore | Shipman, did the primitive oil show come through? | ||
20130520 19:49 | badanov | Some Monday evening Dwight Yoakam: | ||
20130520 17:50 | Shipman | I am a Bligh fan-boy, it was his unfortuante fate to Command the Bounty as a Lieutenant and not a Captain (1 rank in that time I think) A Captain got 3 or more Marines. A Lieutenant none. It's the dark secret of the USN and HMRN that Marines are really there to kill frisky sailors if the time comes, their assault capability are just gravy. Srsly. True story... my Uncle Charles was a Seagoing Type, perpetually annoyed and seeing deviant behavior where, well seeing deviant behavior in Norfolk. He ended up as a body guard to Adrm King and then a (yeah) a copper. He mellowed into a good chief of Police in Fernandiana Beach Fl and later into an awesome produce salesman in the bad part of TLH. I miss him, he was a hard core bastard, an enormous man with pent up anger at all things that he A: didn't understand 2. Understood and disagreed with iii. Figured someone was being cheated 4. was mkin fun, like his nephew. :( funf. Listen to your older relatives. | ||

20130520 10:26 | mrp | 1. I know it was. I read the book. 3. The GOP leadership will respond if they wish to retain power. The Tea Party and the conservative wing will put increasing pressure on the DC party. That's why Obama and his people targeted the Tea Party (and Sarah Palin for that matter). They are the real opposition and the true threat. 4. I read the Wretchard excerpt that you posted. | ||
20130520 06:19 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | 1. The USS Caine was fictional. That's what all you college boys think... but geometric logic says otherwise! | ||
20130519 22:57 | Pappy | 1. The USS Caine was fictional. 2.That mutiny, much like the real USS Vance one, was staged by the wardroom and not the crew. However, I have read about(and have seen one) uprising by ship's crews. The latter are a result of long-festering or a series of issues. 3. In any case, I was responding to the other commenters' remarks about the lack of response by the Republican leadership about attacks on the tea party. The leadership has no regard for the Tea Party, regarding them as political amateurs, useful only for scut labor, much like the landsmen on the Bounty were - until the mutiny occurred. 4. Apparently you didn't really read wretchard's remarks. Congress - the GOP part - is still at the "maybe there's a problem" stage. The GOP is still holding to the political process, where horse-trading reigns and compromises can be made. To use a line from the article: "nobody wants to risk the political peace by some hot-headed response". Meaning if and when the GOP does act,it'll likely be at the point where it's too late to use the bicameral, bipartisan political process, or any political action taken by the GOP will be unsuccessful, because a significant portion of its conservative/Tea Party base will have defected. 5. The judiciary is politicized. | ||
20130519 22:57 | mrp | The Bounty? Wrong naval analogy. A better one is the USS Caine. And what's the talk about "uprisings" anyway? It is past time for this Congress and our judicial system to rein in an out-of-control regulatory system that's increasingly hostile to political dissent. | ||
20130519 21:51 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Planet Tahiti, with the Open-Minded Swedish Air Hostesses... | ||
20130519 20:31 | badanov | Working the problem. | ||
20130519 20:24 | badanov | Some Sunday evening Glenn Miller w/ Ray Eberle: | ||
20130519 17:21 | Shipman | Hot damn, Pappy is implying we're going back to Tahiti. I'm onboard. | ||
20130519 16:52 | Pappy | That's because the Tea Party is essentially a non-entity to the GOP, and to the D.C. political system at large. They're the 'landsmen' on the political Bounty. I'll leave it to you to draw the rest of the analogy. Suffice it to say I've studied mutinies, from the Bounty to the USS Vance to scores of small uprisings on other USN vessels in the 1960s-70s. We're at the "something is wrong but things will work out" stage... | ||
20130519 16:43 | badanov | They damn oughta be! | ||
20130519 15:57 | Bright Pebbles | The trouble with wretchard's post is that the republican leadership isn't too fussed about attacks on the tea party. | ||
20130519 14:58 | 3dc | went back to 3dc nym on new linux .... | ||
20130519 12:28 | mrp | Sigh. Wretchard wrings his hands about a Republican response while the Obama Leftist crush dissent. Because that's the role conservatives are now forced to play with the DOJ and Treasury politicized and playing hardball against organizers and big-wallet donors. "Going for the big brass wring" isn't a matter of elections at this point. | ||
20130519 12:14 | Pappy | Morning from Next to The Park. Thanks for the tip, Shipman. I'll order the kindle version. I just have to wade through about, oh, 20 books before I can get to it. | ||
20130519 12:11 | swksvolFF | AP, that has my son swaying and clappin'. Atkinson is good. Learned more about Italy in 2 chapters than in whole school. | ||

For reasons unknown to me I have both the kindle and hardback, I only per-ordered the kindle. So if anyone is short let me know and I will send the hard bound | ||
20130519 02:23 | Skidmark | Kool, but its a bolt with a manual trigger. Maybe just a concept platform. | ||
20130518 23:32 | Pappy | One from wretchard: Perhaps the most incisive comment on the Obama administrations plague of scandals comes from the National Journal. It argues that the scandals will hurt the Republicans by enraging the base and strengthening the faction least willing to compromise with Obama [and] could hurt a GOP shot at the presidency. In other words the scandals could so damage trust in the system among some conservatives that theyll simply opt out of the party game. This will impede deal making according to the National Journal; and deprive the GOP of the juice to put together the coalition necessary to take their turn at the trough. Once they permanently exit the game then by default only the Democrats will keep the field. There is another danger facing Republicans which the National Journal doesnt directly address: If the scandals go too far at unearthing the rot then even the most craven Republican will be compelled to do something about it. What the scandals have done to Washington is take the former process of political horse-trading perilously close to a zero-sum game. Each new revelation bolsters the belief that the administration has done precisely what the Republicans dont want to do: go for for big brass ring. There are a lot of suggestive indicators. The key problem for the Republican Party and also for conservatives of a whole is deciding what theyre seeing. Prudence will probably stay the hand of conservatives and let things limp along for awhile. It will take more, perhaps much more to establish the belief they are actually under attack. This is as it should be, for the issues are so momentous that nobody wants to risk the political peace by some hot-headed response. Things will probably have to get a whole lot worse before a critical mass of voters choose the path that the National Journal warns against: where they exit the game. There is still some way to go until things become crystal clear; a brief space in which to make certain about what is really going on. For once we know the knowledge will bind us. There are dangerous lines to cross, which once traversed make it is hard to go back. The structures of the Republic were designed to make stark choices unnecessary. A very precious commodity mutual trust is at risk in the coming days. If it is trashed and expended, it will be a long time rebuilding it again. | ||

Calm before the storm: With regular season over, Mesquite girls prepare for playoff run
By DEVIN HASSON, firstname.lastname@example.com
The regular season comes to an end for girls basketball on Tuesday night with some teams fine-tuning their games for the upcoming playoffs and many others simply hoping to go out on a high note.
The Mesquite girls will not be hitting the court on Tuesday, having wrapped up their regular season with an impressive 57-52 victory over Rockwall on Friday that clinched the No. 2 seed out of District 12-5A.
But while the Skeeters (21-11, 10-2) might be enjoying a short, physical break with their bye, there is still work to be done.
The extra scouting time is a needed bonus for the Skeeters, who could either face Lakeview, Naaman Forest or Sachse in the bi-district round of the playoffs next week.
Whoever the opponent, Mesquite feels it will be ready for the challenge. The Skeeters appear to be peaking at the right time, having won eight of their last nine games since the start of the new year.
Even in the one loss--a 46-44 setback to district-leading Horn on Jan. 18--Littlefield saw positives.
"Overall we've played well, I think the girls have really stepped up," she said. "In the Horn game, we had the one really bad quarter where we got 20 down, but they really turned it up and were actually able to come back. ... we had our chances at the end, we just didn't get it.
"These girls never quit. That is the one thing I have said about all my teams at Mesquite, they don't quit and they play you until the end."
The Skeeters are by no means a one-player show. Brianna Williams has been the catalyst, averaging 13.5 points and 2.4 assists per game. Briana Caro, one of the most dangerous outside shooters in the area, is averaging better than 11 points and 2.4 three-pointers per game.
Viershanie Latham gives opponents headaches with her versatility and athleticism, scoring nearly 10 points and pulling down eight rebounds per game.
While different players have stepped up at different times, Mesquite is especially tough to beat when they are on the same page, as they were in the last Rockwall victory when Williams, Caro, Latham and Brittany Pearson all scored in double figures.
The playoff experience will not be a new one for the Skeeters, many of whom were key parts of last year's team that came within a whisker of the regional tournament with a 58-57 loss to DeSoto in the regional quarterfinals.
"I think they are hungry to get back and they want to go further than last year, so that is good," Littlefield said. "They know what to expect and I hope by being there before they will have the confidence to step up when they need to."
Before they can embark on what they hope is a lengthy playoff journey, Mesquite must play the waiting game. The Skeeters opted not to play a warm-up game this week, meaning they will be well-rested when the posteason gets started on Monday or Tuesday.
But as for any concerns about lingering rust due to the layoff, the Skeeters are relying on themselves to take care of any such problem.
"We need to play with the same focus that we have in practice," Littlefield said. "Intensity, passion and hard work will get you far. We need to continue to do those things, especially on defense. That is what has gotten us where we are."

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Chianti Classico Querciabella floats on the palate with layers of sensual red fruit, flowers and spices. It remains an essentially mid-weight wine graced with exquisite finesse and class, reflecting a stylistic change from some of the bigger vintages of the past. Floral notes reappear on..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A polished, international style, with toast and spice notes adding smoothness and depth to the black cherry and raspberry fruit. Rich and harmonious, with an impression of spice and mineral on the long aftertaste."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... lovely sweet fruit at the finish. Light jam and chocolate character. Good finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Rich aromas of ripe dark berries and light vanilla. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Balanced and delicious.

A no-confidence vote of University of Southern Maine President Selma Botman failed to reach the required two-thirds faculty majority. The vote followed a petition submitted in April by faculty members seeking Botman's removal.
Faculty voted 194 for no-confidence, failing to reach the 251 needed for a two-thirds majority, according to WMTW-8. Eighty-eight faculty members voted against no-confidence. A total of 282 ballots were cast Tuesday and Wednesday, out of 377 eligible faculty members. Had the no-confidence vote passed, it would not have automatically meant Botman's removal; that decision is up to the chancellor of the University of Maine System. Botman said the school must face its challenges as a community.
The faculty who launched the petition cited a decline in morale and spending decisions during her tenure. USM has been under scrutiny after the Portland Press Herald reported it gave out discretionary raises of up to $34,514 a year for 44 employees last year despite a looming $5.1 million budget cut. USM Senate Chair Jeannine Uzzi said the petition, however, was already being circulated before news of the raises.

About Me First Time Parent
Makes it easy to choose your baby foods... I put fruit on one row (typically for breakfasts), veggies on another (lunch, dinner), etc. Paired with the under-cabinet pouch rack, we never have to dig to find the food that we are looking for.
By ArmyWife
from Tennessee
Such a great thing!! I wish I would have had this for my first two children. We get two-three weeks worth of baby food at once so this was a life saver to organize all of that! Great product.

Great Idea
By EMomE
from NJ
This is a sturdy organizer that neatly holds and organizes my jars. it's great because I can actually see what I have rather than stacking them in a cupboard somewhere. Plus, I love that after we're done with baby food, I can easily use this to hold kitchen items.

Single vs. Relationship
Why It Is Better To Be Single
1. I have no idea why, but when you have a boyfriend who is paying for you all the time, it actually seems like you have less money. The only explanation for this is the hidden costs of bikini waxes and sexy lingerie. (Although I do not get regular bikini waxes and Ex-Boyfriend thinks my Wonder Woman underwear is hot, so I'm not really sure where my money is going).
2. You have the time [to sit in front of the television with your laptop, watching Flavor of Love while pretending you are looking for a better job on the internet]. Insert your own personal weird habit in brackets.
3. You can look down on everyone you know that is in a relationship, because you would never put up with someone's crap the way they do.
4. You may or may not be skinnier, but if no one's seeing you naked are the extra pounds really there?
5. You can apply the foul-smelling tanning lotion, make your eyebrows red and puffy by waxing them and/or use the green clay mask on your "problem areas." You wind up being hotter in the long run because you can afford to be short term ugly.
Why It Is Better To Be In a Relationship
1. Walking through Central Park with a friend is sort of boring. Walking through Central Park with a boyfriend is weirdly entertaining and can make you feel like you're in a Woody Allen movie. (Ditto for Sunday brunch).
2. You're happier when you get some affection and it is not really permissible to cuddle with your roommate while watching television.
3. You can look down on everyone you know that is single, because you would never obsessively analyze a person's random actions or freak out over a phone call the way they do.
4. You have someone who is obligated to have sex with you.
5. Boyfriends/girlfriends are incredibly less competitive than friends, since your success makes them look better. ("Isn't my significant other so successful/beautiful/charming? Doesn't that make you think I am more successful/beautiful/charming?")
And to clear up any confusion, yes, I am back together with Ex-Boyfriend, hereafter referred to as "Re-Boyfriend," hopefully avoiding further confusion.
