Crippled cruise ship finally docks after 5 days
MOBILE, Ala. — A cruise ship disabled for five nightmarish days in the Gulf finally docked with some 4,200 people aboard late Thursday, passengers raucously cheering the end to an ocean odyssey they say was marked by overflowing toilets, food shortages and foul odors.
"Sweet Home Alabama!" read one of the homemade signs passengers affixed alongside the 14-story ship as many celebrated at deck rails lining several levels of the stricken ship Triumph. The ship's horn loudly blasted several times as four tugboats pulled the crippled ship to shore. Some gave a thumbs-up sign and flashes from cameras and cellphones lit the night.
About an hour after the ship pulled up at 9:15 p.m. Central, a steady stream of passengers began making their way down the glass-enclosed gang plank, some in wheelchairs and others pulling carry-on luggage. One man gave the thumbs up.
An ambulance pulled up to a gate at the bottom of the gang plank and then its lights went on and it pulled away.
For 24-year-old Brittany Ferguson of Texas, not knowing how long passengers had to endure their time aboard was the worst part.
"I'm feeling awesome just to see land and buildings," said Ferguson, who was in a white robe given to her aboard. "The scariest part was just not knowing when we'd get back"
As the ship pulled up, some aboard shouted, "Hello, Mobile!" Some danced in celebration on one of the balconies. "Happy V-Day" read one of the homemade signs made for the Valentine's Day arrival and another, more starkly: "The ship's afloat, so is the sewage."
A few dozen relatives on the top floor of the parking deck of the terminal were waving lights at the ship as it carefully made its way alongside. Those about were screaming, whistling and taking pictures.
Hundreds gawked from dockside at the arrival at the Alabama cruise terminal in Mobile, the state's only seaport, as the Triumph docked.
Taxis were lined up waiting for people, and motorists on Interstate 10 stopped to watch the exodus of passengers from the cruise ship. Continued...
Some still aboard chanted, "Let me off, let me off!"
It took six grueling hours navigating the 30-odd-mile ship channel to dock, guided by at least four towboats. Nearly 900 feet in length, it was the largest cruise ship ever to dock at Mobile.
It will take up to five hours for all the 3,000 passengers to be off, Carnival has said.
In texts and flitting cellphone calls, the ship's passengers described miserable conditions while at sea, many anxious to walk on solid ground.
Buses started leaving the raucous terminal. Up to 100 have been reserved to carry passengers either on seven-hour ride to the Texas cities of Galveston or Houston or a two-hour trip to New Orleans. Some also can stay in Mobile. From there, passengers will make their way home with Carnival's help.
"I can't imagine being on that ship this morning and then getting on a bus," said Kirk Hill, whose 30-year-old daughter, Kalin Christine Hill, is on the cruise. "If I hit land in Mobile, you'd have a hard time getting me on a bus."
Galveston is the home port of the ill-fated ship, which lost power in an engine-room fire Sunday some 150 miles off Mexico's Yucatan peninsula. It was the end of a cruise that wasn't anything like what a brochure might describe.
Carnival CEO Gerry Cahill apologized at a news conference and later on the public address system as people were disembarking.
"I appreciate the patience of oileticular case."
Passenger Ferguson did say crew members did their best to make the situation bearable. Continued...
"They did their best to keep our spirits up," she said.
While the passengers are headed home, Triumph will head to a Mobile shipyard for assessment, Thornton said.
Earlier Thursday — four days after the 893-foot ship was crippled in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico — the passengers and crew suffered another setback with towline issues that brought the vessel to a dead stop for about an hour just when it was getting close to port.
As the vessel drew within cellphone range Thursday, passengers vented their anger.
Renee Shanar of Houston was on board with her husband, who she said has heart trouble. They were told they will be among the first to disembark, she said.
"I don't believe them; they've been lying to us from the beginning," Shanar said.
Disgusted by the foul air and heat on the lower decks, many passengers hauled mattresses and bed sheets onto the top deck and slept there, even staying put in a soaking rain. As the ship approached the coast, a slew of Carnival workers removed the bedding and took it downstairs.
In a text message, Kalin Hill, of Houston, described deplorable conditions over the past few days.
"The lower floors had it the worst, the floors 'squish' when you walk and lots of the lower rooms have flooding from above floors," Hill wrote. "Half the bachelorette party was on two; the smell down there literally chokes you and hurts your eyes."
She said "there's poop and urine all along the floor. The floor is flooded with sewer water ... and we had to poop in bags." Continued...
The company disputed the accounts of passengers who described the ship as filthy, saying employees were doing everything to ensure people were comfortable.
Some travel agents said cruise prices and bookings have not been affected by the disabled Carnival ship, but others in the industry say it's too early to tell.
Thelbert Lanier was waiting at the Mobile port for his wife, who texted him early Thursday.
"Room smells like an outhouse. Cold water only, toilets haven't work in 3 1/2 days. Happy Valentines Day!!! I love u & wish I was there," she said in the text message, which was viewed by The Associated Press. "It's 4:00 am. Can't sleep ... it's cold & I'm starting to get sick."
Carnival has canceled a dozen more planned voyages aboard the Triumph and acknowledged the crippled ship had been plagued by other mechanical problems in the weeks before the engine-room blaze. The National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation.
Passengers were supposed to get a full refund and discounts on future cruises, and Carnival announced Wednesday they would each get an additional $500 in compensation.
Plushnick-Masti reported from Houston. Associated Press writers Bob Johnson in Montgomery, Ala., and Melissa Nelson-Gabriel and Brendan Farrington in Mobile contributed to this report.

Recommended Immunization for Persons Aged 0-6 Years
The purpose of this tool is to be used as a reference for the 2010 immunization schedules of Texas and Mexico. It has been planned to reach health care providers from both sides of the Mexico-Texas Border, with the overall goal to assure adequate vaccination to all children. It is not a guide to compare the biological agents used in the immunizations, nor an immunological study. It is a tool to understand Texas and Mexico vaccination schedules and orient the health care provider about children and adolescents that initiate a vaccination schedule in one side of the border and continue it on the other side. NOTES: There are currently 6 licensed combination vaccines in the US: Pediarix® (D T aP-IP V -HepB), Pentacel® (D T aP-IP V -Hib), COM V AX® (HepB-Hib), T riHIBit® (D T aP- Hib), KinrixTM (D T aP-IP V) and ProQuad® (MMR-V). 1 There are currently 2 licensed rotavirus vaccines in the US: Rotarix® and RotaTeq®. Rotarix® requires 2 doses and RotaT eq® requires 3 doses to complete the series. 2 There are currently 3 licensed monovalent Hib vaccines in the US (ActHIB®, PedvaxHIB® and Hiberix®) and 2 combination Hib vaccine (COM V AX® (Hep BHib) and Pentacel® (D T aP-IP V -Hib). ActHib® requires 4 doses and PedvaxHIB® requires 3 doses to complete the series. Hiberix® is not licensed for use at ages 2, 4 or 6 months of age, but can be used as the final dose in children 12 months to 4 years of age. COM V AX® is administered at 2 and 4 months of age with a final dose given at 12 months of age.

Perhaps one of the building in Uru (the one behind the tent comes to mind) Can be converted into a reading room with shelves that can hold all the Journals, novels and other notes from the Myst Series. One Shelf could hold one Myst novel each chapter could be one book and each shelf or shelf unit could be one of the novels. Another shelf unit can have all of the Journals. and perhaps one or two linking books, where the linking panel still has a fly over seen but does not work as a linking book, (perhaps the DRC broke it in the proses of trying to learn how they work) as you turn the page past the linking panel you see all the D'ni writing and if you where to try and translate it you will notice its similar to the programing language that is used to create ages with all the Python and Blender stuff.

Cavaliers notes: Tyler Zeller, Dion Waiters out because of illness (with video)
The Cavaliers can't catch a break.
On the night Kyrie Irving returned to the lineup, they lost center Tyler Zeller and guard Dion Waiters to sickness.
Cavs coach Byron Scott said both players were forced to go to the emergency room at the hospital with stomach pain and vomiting.
"They have some type of virus," Scott said. "They were throwing up."
They weren't the only ones stricken with the virus. Cavs athletic trainer Max Benton was also sick, along with Cavs assistant coach Joe Prunty's wife and center Anderson Varejao's fiancé.
Scott decided to start Wayne Ellington at shooting guard and Marreese Speights at center.
"They are next in line, obviously," Scott said.
Irving much better
Irving missed the previous three games with a hyperextended right knee.
"I landed awkwardly in practice," Irving said. "It was a deep bruise. When I was playing in Orlando and Miami, I could feel it, but I tried to play through it. It was limiting my ability to go to the basket and have confidence jumping off my right leg."
He said he's not all the way back.
"I wouldn't call it 100 percent yet, but close to it," Irving said.
Scott said he doesn't expect to limit Irving's minutes. He'll likely play his customary 35 minutes per game.
"It will be full go," he said.
"If he's breathing hard, that (will tell) me he's a little tired or winded. All those things are going to be my indications on how long he'll play. But knowing him, I think he'll still be able to survive and play 34 to 36 minutes."
Irving didn't do any begging or pleading to play.
"I think he understood yesterday during practice if he had a good showing as far as his movements that I would feel a lot more comfortable," Scott said. "I also asked him again this morning how he felt and he said, 'Good.' I said, 'Are you lying to me?' He said, 'No, Coach, I feel good.' I still don't know how to really take that.
"Again, trying to keep a pretty watchful eye on him and the way he's walking and moving, I didn't see any hesitation in his steps, or any grimmacing or any limping or anything like that. So I'm going to take him at his word."
'Melo aggressive Continued...
Scott holds Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony in very high esteem. He was tied with Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant for the league lead in scoring at 28.6 points per game.
"He's the best pure scorer in the NBA," Scott said. "He can get you in so many ways. There are not many things he can't do. He's not just a jump shooter. He has the ability to get to the line. Offensively, he doesn't have any weaknesses."
Scott said the Cavs would give forward Alonzo Gee some help with Anthony. However, it was his job to keep an eye on Anthony at all times.
Loves that guy
Scott doesn't hide his affection for Clippers point guard Chris Paul, whom he coached in New Orleans. The same can be said of Knicks center Tyson Chandler, who made the Eastern Conference All-Star team this year. He was also the Defensive Player of the Year last season.
The 7-1 Chandler is seventh in the NBA in rebounds at 11.4 per game.
"We have to keep Tyson off the glass," Scott said. "The way he taps the ball out and keeps it alive, they were a lot of 3s off that. That's a big weapon for them."

Booking with Sykes is always a pleasure.
Mrs Lawrence, Sandbach, Cheshire, May 2013
Property details and online booking excellent with Sykes.
Mr Thorley, Newcastle, Staffordshire, May 2013
Those famous lyrics of the music hall song 'Oh I do like to
be beside the seaside…' conjure up images of the Great
British seaside holiday - think stripy deckchairs,
buckets and spades, fish and chips. They still take some beating,
especially if you have kids in tow. And the best place to stay? In
one of our seaside cottages, of course!
We feature a huge selection of holiday cottages, all within a
mile or so of the coast. Rub shoulders with burly fishermen in
sleepy fishing villages almost lost in time. Discover island
hideaways and other remote coastal cottages just perfect for
romantic escapes. Or opt for the thrills and spills of big seaside
resorts, offering round-the-clock entertainment for all the family.
We also feature a delightful collection of sea view cottages and
beach cottages mere steps from the shore.
Walk coastal paths and watch dolphins swim offshore. Play golf
on fairways overlooking the sea. Wend your way over dunes to find a
pristine beach for that perfect picnic. Scamper across sweeping
sands with your four-legged friend. Add sandcastles, rock pools,
paddling, swimming, surfing and more. Round off your day strolling
the prom and watch the sun set or enjoying the lively banter at a
local shanty inn. Or simply unwind at your lovely seaside holiday
home. The choice is yours!

NTMWD: Water is safe for consumption; smell, odor have no effect on water quality
By Kenny Green, email@example.com
Next time you go to take a sip of water from the faucet you may notice a grassy taste or smell. This is all caused by a recent algae bloom in Lake Lavon, which is the collection lake for all cities served by North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD).
�We are experiencing an algae bloom which is a natural occurrence when conditions are optimal,� said Denise Hickey, NTMWD spokeswoman. �The water may have a taste or odor or both. This year we are experiencing both. Our lab results are showing the highest levels we have ever seen. We attribute this to the drought that allowed the exposure of the shorelines. All of those plants are now under water and decaying. This is providing a food source for the algae.�
Algal blooms occur when high temperatures warm the reservoirs, little or no rainfall has occurred, and sunlight penetrates the water allowing photosynthesis to occur. When these conditions are present, the blue green algae species Nostoc and Anabaena will reproduce or bloom.
Hickey said that the odor and taste of the water has no impact on the quality of water consumers are drinking.
�The algae bloom does not affect the quality of the water. It still meets all the safe water drinking standards,� Hickey said. �The most noticeable thing for consumers will be a grassy taste or odor. It really smells like untreated lake water.�
Hickey said that the NTMWD has an ongoing project that once completed will significantly reduce any future effects of algae outbreaks on the taste and odor of the water supply.
�At our current facility we don�t have the ability to 100 percent remove the effects of the algae. We have a large construction project underway which will add ozone to our treatment process,� Hickey said. �It is a four to five year project.�
Ozonation is a water treatment process that destroys bacteria and other microorganisms through an infusion of ozone, a gas produced by subjecting oxygen molecules to high electrical voltage. The process will improve water quality.
�The most noticeable effect of the new process on the water will be that it will minimize odor and taste that occurs,� Hickey said. �Ozonation is a major upgrade in meeting the new water standards.�
Hickey said the $125 million ozonation project will be completed in stages.
�We have four different water treatment plants at our facility. Plants three and four will be online (with the ozonation) first. Plants one and two were built in the 1950s and 1970s and will have to undergo the most intense construction to implement the new process,� Hickey said. The construction work began in 2008 and is expected to be completed in 2013 and 2014.
For information on the algae bloom or answers to any other question or concern about the NTMWD water supply, visit www.ntmwd.com.

Crime Stories: The SYNDICATE
, Whos your family? [RATED MATURE]

"In 1950's New York, nobody gave a shit about no one!" said Tommy Resturicci, Don of the Resturicci family. "The Giovanni family...kill all them fucks!" In Crime Stories, is a on-going war between The Resturicci and The Giovanni families of THE SYNDICATE (A global network of crime bosses.) Each boss established their union with the other families. "But in order to dominate the street, you gotta play a little dirty." - said Frederico Giovanni, Don of the Giovanni family.
"The other families ain't got shit on us, do you understand?" continued Frederico.
You have to choose a family.
The war between both the Resturicci and the Giovanni have lasted for years. Each fighting for supreme control.
The police department are on both payrolls.
"The best coke around. You need it I got it, capeesh?" - Tommy Resturricci.
The war stood still, once Frederico Giovanni was murdered...Newspaper spread the news...[[GIOVANNI CRIME BOSS MURDERED BY RESTURICCI!]] The city went nuts. Even though Frederico was a drug lord, he also contributed help funds to the cities youth programs.
All the hype granted the Giovanni complete hatred for their adversary. The state government forces their departments to break payroll and arrest as many family members as possible. Resturicci and Giovanni.
The violence between the two families had turned the underground life into a warzone.
You're gonna have to choose. If you don't, get the fuck outta here." - Frederico Giovanni.
The Rules:
1.) Choose a family.
2.) Two weapons can be carried at a time. One primary, one secondary. However, you are only to have one side equipment (ie: grenades (4 max), molotovs (4 max), C4 (1 max) etc.)
3.) Each character are free to have one default vehicle upon entering the rp.((Note: Try and ignore the year of each car...))
1. 2003 Cadillac Escalade ESV
2. 2005 Porsche Cayenne S
3. 2005 Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa
4. 2004 Cadillac Seville
5. 2005 Hummer H2
6. 2001 Mercedes-Benz ML430
7. 1996 Cadillac DeVille
8. 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
9. 2003 Ford Thunderbird
10. 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis
4.) Help your family kill the other, or fuck off! Capeesh?
Major Locations
- The Resturicci Mansion
[Members of the Resturicci family, will reside here. Don't think you're safe when you're relaxing. A raid can happen anytime. Whether it be Giovanni or the FBI. The mansion is located near the west side of Brooklyn. You can also buy weapons here with the family's merchant.]
- The Giovanni Mansion
[The Giovanni survived more FBI raids in their hometown, but moved their headquarters to the south side of Queens. Like I said, don't ever feel like you're safe. The government hunts for Giovanni, a lot more than the Resturicci. You are also able to purchase weapons from the family's merchant.]
- The Bank
[Is where financial business is done between each family. Deposit cash, take a withdrawal. Stash money in a hidden account.
With the other families struggling to keep up with the Resturicci and Giovanni, the bank has become a bulls-eye for robbery.]
((Feel free to suggest more locales.))
Minor locations
Gun fights:
It all comes to this.
If you get into a gun fight with another role-player, the battle
spans in a T1 type style.
To make things easier to those who never heard about T1, I'm going to
make it easier.
T1 in Crime Stories requires that you complete a full paragraph
fully explaining, your character's attitude, emotion, defensive moves, and offensive moves.
For example (Role-playing as Ricki)
- Ricki watched Hector walk side to side with his .44 magnum. Almost instantly,
Ricki reached around to grip the hilt of his gun, planted in its holster on the left
side of his waist. As Ricki slowly pull the gun, he aimed it at Hector and fired while
sprinting right. He found cover behind a rundown car. He used this chance to reload his weapon.
((Note: If you do not state what your character's actions were during your post, they will be
considered void if you present them later on. Now after reading Ricki's attack, whether or not
Hector took the hit, or dodged, is entirely up to the guy using Hector. However, you must be
logical about it. Don't godmod and think you can dodge around everything. If you're character
is hit, suffering from gunshot wounds, you're character is considered dead. You would
need to create a new character. However, you're able to apply the skills and weapons you
gained from your previous character, to your new character.))
[[Here is how Hector would respond]]
- Hector's first instinct was pivot his foot side ways and dive behind a two wooden boxes
stacked around the other. He waited until Ricki finished firing, and aim his .44 magnum
toward Ricki and fired three rounds before ducking behind cover again. His gun aimed
just a little above the car, to try and attempt to catch Ricki's head.
[[If Ricki decides his character was killed legit, then he will post how ruff the damage, whether
or not he died etc. If you defeat someone, you are gained on more weapon slot of your choosing.
You may add another primary weapon, secondary, or side equipment.]]
T2 Speed-Typing
T2- T2 is the most basic and common form of online speed fighting. It consist's of typing a set limit of words in rapid succession in order to describe an action before one's oppenent can respond. T2 is mostly a Hand-to-Hand combat style.
Attempt: An attempt is the portion of a post that preceeds the connection. It means that you are trying to hit that oppenent.
A good example of a decent 'Attempt' is as follows.
Bob shot his hand for the gut of Chuck.
Connect/Connection: A connection signifies that one has hit their target and describes what happens after the hit. If the oppenent doesn't connect their attack or dodge before your connection, You get a point. A good example of a connection is as follows.
The hand about the gut slid Chuck upward.
Range: Range is the designation of one's positon at the time of the attack. You need to move 'Into Range' before you can attempt. However, keep in mind that the range of a fist is not as far as that of a spear. You should always tell the oppenent that you are moving into or out of range before typing an attempt. A good example of getting into and out of range is as follows.
Bob kicked forward, Running into the range of Chuck.
Chuck jumped back out of the range of Bob quickly.
Void: Void means that an attempt or connect did not hit, Or the attack was negated by the oppenent. It is used often in an incorrect sense, so always verify if you have 'Voided' or not. You can void by having the attack blocked, or making to many typos. Range can also acount for a void.
Prep: Prep is something you do before a big attack, like say summoning a thunder bolt from the sky. You don't have to say you preped, However you must do it to perform any kind of ranged attack or decent magic. A good example of a prep is as follows.
Izaka slipped his hand skyward, lightning forming about his grasp as he grinned wickedly all the while.
Counter and Dodge/Block: You know what this means, As well as dodge. You need to place these between the enemies attempt and connect. A counter is more complex than a dodge but you should always attempt a counter if you think you have sufficent time. Some good examples of a counter or dodge are as follows.
Bob spun to the right, His knocking down the spear of Joe. : Block
Bob jumped forward, Leaping over the fist of Chuck. : Dodge
Moving his hand around the hand of Joe, Bob pulled back against the elbow and snapped it in two. : Gorey Counter
Finisher: Once you have met the required number of hits, You will perform a finisher. The finisher can be dodged by the oppenent; However you get to decide their fate. Once the finisher is complete it should detail their death or how they were knocked unconcous. A good example of a finisher is.
Izaka thrust his longsword forward witha mighty roar, Bringing it through the chest of Bob whilst rotating the blade as to shred Bob's insides.
Word Limit: The amount of words you need in order to connect/attempt/prep/dodge/whatever. When showing the word limit you will most often see it in this fashion: 7-10-7; Or the extended: 7-10-7-10-12. Ok, To break it down. 7- Words to attempt; 10- Words to connect; 7- Words to dodge; 10- Words to prep; and finally 12- Words to counter.

[[T2 can also be used for this role-play. Those who sign-up are free to send challenges to other members. Open up the IRC, open up a private chat, and commence the battle. Those who win post your results to me and I will keep order of them.]]
Live Preview of T2 (Even though that guy had too many typos.)
These guys sucked too. Shadow Manductor was pretty fast tho.
Shadow Manductor vs. Lance Blight
These guys ain't nothing compared to what I seen back when Yahoo! Role-Play wasn't taken over by sex bots.
My character (Strider Hiryu. In T2 I wasn't the best, but back when I had this character, I was kinda like the newcomer who everybody saw as dangerous in T2. Rob's Vega recruited me in his clan lol.)
My friends: Rob (He rped as Vega from SF. One of the fastest T2ers ever. So popular everybody joined his own T2 style called V-Style.)
Athena Silverheart (OMG. She could literally destroy you in a T2 fight to 5 in under 10 seconds. Thats how fast she types lol.)
There were many. I'm trying to revive this style, because it brought excitement.

The other day I was researching how to make data sexy. Because measurement is so important to communications spending plans, and because everyone needs demonstrable ROI, I was looking for ways to bring stats alive. My expectations were simple: I was really thinking about visualising data - interactive maps, real-world bar graphs, novel approaches to pie charts and the like.
Then I stumbled across a Wired article from December 4, 2008. It went like this:
"Sometimes, a battlefield commander gets so much information, it's hard to make sense of it all. So the Pentagon's far out research arm, Darpa (Defence Advanced research projects Agency - birthplace of the internet), is looking to distill all that data into 'a form that is more suitable for human consumption.' Namely, a story."
The author of this tale, however, would be a series of intelligent algorithms that can pull all of this information together, tease out its underlying meanings, and put it in a narrative that's easy to follow.
If it works, Darpa hopes to have this Experience-based Narrative Memory (EN-Mem) system make "complex situations simple, understandable, and solvable."
The idea is that a computer system captures the basic interactions of characters and the dynamics of their motivations but also fills in details not explicitly mentioned in the data itself. In this way it creates storylines - which must be familiar enough to the decision maker to be applicable the real situation they're dealing with.
This is my idea of a very good thing - data as story. And it also reflects a constant theme in the world of messages and content - everyone needs a good story. To tell and to hear, and be able to re-tell.
The "storytelling" angle on communications and engagement has gone a bit quiet recently as everyone started talking about social media and creating conversations. But obviously storytelling is central to this.
We're doing some work for a client whose business rests to a large degree on gathering and monitoring data. The client has identified, quite rightly, that while their work is excellent, it carries little emotional punch. Our job is to help them make what they do feel more human and engaging. Basically, they're looking for a good story to tell - and for thier audiences to hear.
Darpa realised that battlefield commanders needed this too - even if they're getting a computer system to do it. I'm hoping that the idea will catch on. A bit like the internet...

A Tribute To Your Joe Morgan Memorial Tournament Winner... Craig James
If you're a regular visitor to Awful Announcing, you may notice something different today. A new face is on our Mount Rushmore, ESPN college football analyst Craig James. Senator James was the surprise champion of our Joe Morgan Memorial Tournament, in which one current sports media personality would replace Joe Morgan on AA's Mount Rushmore.
The Joe Morgan Memorial started with 32 of the most awful sports media personalities around - from Joe Buck and Joe Theismann to Skippy and Stephen A. to Cowherd and Berman. Being honest, I have to give credit to my broski Ryan for coming up with the idea (he always was the smarter Yoder), but it was an awesome experience that was hopefully as much fun for you as it was for us. Thanks to everyone who took part in the tournament, especially to the folks that took the time to leave comments, tweets, and especially vote. We had over 50,000 votes in the semifinals and finals alone!
Brian Powell started AA back in 2006 as an open forum for fans to voice their feelings on announcers and as the place to go for news, information, and opinion on announcing and the sports media. That's why we gave you the decision for Joe Morgan's spot on Mount Rushmore (and who knows, maybe we'll do it for the other spots in the future). When it all started, Craig James was nowhere near the list of favorites to be etched in Awful Announcing immortality. However, your votes carried James to an overwhelming victory in the JMMT.
James defeated his broadcast partner Mike Patrick in Round 1 and was never tested along the way, also beating out some of the biggest names in AA lore - Rick Reilly, Stephen A. Smith, Chris Berman, and Joe Buck. His victories over Berman and Buck were astoundingly ginormous. 77% of the vote against Berman and 85% of the vote against Buck (over 21,000 votes in the Final were cast for Craig James).
So how did we get to this point where average college football announcer/pundit Craig James became an unstoppable force that made Joe Buck look like Marv Albert and took him to the top of AA...

National Public Radio Interviews UCLA Scholar on President Bush's Meeting with China's Premier
Richard Baum tells NPR's Day to Day show that trade and Taiwan head U.S. agenda with China, as China emerges as Asia's central power.
China has become "the largest beast on the block" in Asia, Richard Baum, professor of political science and director of the UCLA Center for Chinese Studies, told a radio audience December 9. Baum was interviewed by Alex Chadwick for National Public Radio's Day to Day show as President Bush met with China's Premier Wen Jiabao in Washington.
Commenting on the little known premier, Baum said that "Wen is among a group of relatively faceless bureaucrats who achieved some distinction administering the reform programs under, first, Deng Xiaoping and then Jiang Zemin. He was not a guy who stuck his neck out of the foxhole to attract fire. And in this way he's very much like the president, Hu Jintao. The two of them together make a rather nice team -- relatively uncharismatic but relatively competent people."
Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian's threat to put a referendum on the ballot calling for explicit independence from China has been met with threats of military action by the Chinese. The Bush administration has called on Taiwan to retreat, and on the People's Republic to refrain from interfering on the island. Baum called President Chen's action "provocative," although "he backed down under American pressure and he now says that he will simply hold a referendum on the question of Chinese missiles opposing Taiwan. But in either case, the Chinese have reason to be squirming and nervous. Any change in the status quo as far as they are concerned is unacceptable." He added that the Chinese cannot be certain that the United States will not come to the defense of Taiwan if the mainland takes military action.
China Trade
Alex Chadwick asked Richard Baum how the Chinese could be expected to respond to the Bush administration's announced plans to limit imports of some Chinese goods. Baum responded that "The notion that there are going to be new import quotas on Chinese brassieres and various cotton textiles and fibers is regarded by the Chinese as evidence of a double standard in American policy. We lecture them on openness and transparency and free trade, and then we turn around and we impose tariffs on steel and now on brassieres and other fabrics." He added that, despite pressure from conservatives for President Bush to press human rights issues, "these cannot be high on his agenda." The two most important issues "are maintaining peace in the Taiwan Straits and preventing a trade war with China. Anything else has to be second to those."
Has China Become the Dominant Power in Asia?
Chadwick suggested that China is "supplanting Japan in the eyes of many" and asked if the West has "recognized the extent of this change." Baum replied, "I think because China is an Asian country, its Asian neighbors are far more aware of its potential power than we are. It's the proverbial 800-pound gorilla. And in its neighborhood, it is the largest beast on the block. The Europeans, I think, are also coming to grips with it. The EU has engaged in a diplomatic effort with China that I think is perhaps more progressive and more clear-sighted than our own. We tend to still think of China in cold war terms, as an inefficient, ossified, Communist giant that really can't do anything right. That's not the case. And we need to wake up to the fact that China is going to be a peer competitor before too long. And we need to work toward a stable relationship with China."

Creflo Dollar and Parental Authority
Published by Andre Showell on Tuesday, June 19, 2012 at 10:08 pm.By Andre Showell
It's easy to understand how the arrest of Creflo Dollar could send shockwaves throughout the nation. The well-known televangelist accused of choking his teen daughter during an argument, has found himself in the middle of a media firestorm. But the issue is also sparking debate from parents who wonder if the minister's attempt to discipline his child was justified or crossed the lines of what is appropriate.
If a revered member of society known for espousing the virtues of family values and morals can be arrested for disciplining a wayward child, what does that mean for the average mother or father who may already feel that their authority is being challenged by an evolving society?
Dollar has stated in a recent sermon that he, in fact, did not choke his daughter but merely restrained her. While only the people involved know the truth, this situation does bring attention to a type of parenting framework that doesn't shy away from corporal punishment as a way to keep unruly children in line. Many old-school or traditional African-American families view spankings or beatings as a necessary tool. For years, time-out sessions, or various forms of "grounding," have been viewed as weak or less effective than good old-fashioned spankings. But at what point does corporal punishment become criminal abuse?
And to what extent do child endangerment laws conflict with deep-rooted beliefs about a parent's role as chief disciplinarian in the home? I didn't receive spankings as a child, although my other siblings did. The threat of getting hit by my 6′6″ father or 5′10″ mother was enough to keep me in check. And while some psychologists would suggest that fear is not the healthiest way to curb a child's behavior, in my case, it probably did.
Notable Black organizations like the NAACP and the SCLC have issued statements of support for Rev. Dollar as they raise questions about whether Dollar should have been arrested in the first place. Parents already worry that they are not doing enough to protect their children in an increasingly dangerous world. Now they will be forced to make one of two choices: either adopt new modes of discipline or the law will adopt its own brand of discipline on parents.

Episode 2 "No Bitchassness" starts off with Diddy talking about how big his empire is. Sleep is forbidden, and every night he just cant wait to wake up and work. So the teams are woken up at 5am and hustled out of the house onto a helipad where a chopper is waiting for each team.
Last week, when I posted that trailer for the fake Mother Teresa biopic, I did some bitching about how Megan Fox's unbelievable hotness was really its only redeeming quality.
Episode: "Allison." The most fun I have ever had with one of those compressed air keyboard dusters was back in college when we discovered that if you spray it while the can is upsidedown, you can freeze things. It will also burn the hell out of your skin. Because of that, I guess it never occured to me to inhale all the crap inside of the can. Allison did, though.
Documentaries can be about as interesting as an eighth grade biology film strip, but when the cameras are following around people with serious drug addictions, you never know what's going to happen. After watching the subjects further screw their lives up for a few days, they spring an intervention on them and try to get them treatment.
Episode: "Little Boats." The run of fantastic episodes had to come to an end some time and I guess this was it. That's not to say that it was a bad episode, but with all the crap that has happened in the past couple weeks, I think it was a much needed break that let the writers do some housekeeping and hopefully set up some wild stuff that's yet to come.
Did you see Wild Hogs? Yeah, me neither. To be fair, it was a movie for men and women aged 40 plus. Hell Ride is basically the same movie. Except that there is LOTS of nudity and violence. And everybody dies. Ok, maybe that's a bad comparison.
We all know that one of the most difficult tasks of men's lives is the process of trying to understand women. It is often mindboggling, able to drive us to fits of rage and utter confusion. But the reality is that they smell REALLY good, and whether we like it or not, we need them.
Episode 2.03, "The Benefactor" starts off on a comedian doing a commercial for Utz potato chips and comparing a fat woman who has walked onto the set to the Hindenburg. Meanwhile, Betty Draper is riding horses at the stables, ogling one of the male riders with her friend.
Full disclosure: I have never smoked weed in my 26 years of life. That said, I was a little worried there would be some weed-oriented nuance in Pineapple Express I wouldn't get. Then I remembered that potheads think Scooby Doo is hilarious and my fears went away.
Crave Online had some shots of Sukiyaki Western Django up today. As we haven't done anything on the movie yet, I thought this would be a good time for a little background for inquiring Junkies.
At the top of the first episode "Raise The Roof" Ludacris and Tommy Lee have yet to be united. They are both sent on mysterious tasks to discover their mission…a mission of utmost importance.
This year's crop of comics for LCS was easily one of the best, but America (and the show's producers) narrowed the field down to five for the hour-and-a-half long finale. I think they were all solid choices, but the actual final show itself could've used a little more, you know, comedy. The opening:
There are a lot of reality shows out there, but this one actually makes a little sense. Contestants from all across the globe bring their stand-up chops in front of judges from other NBC properties and then, in the grand tradition, America votes. The comics tend to be pretty funny, but they sprinkle in a bunch of wacky gimmick acts, I feel like they could do without.
I've been holding off posting about the casting news for Quintin Tarantino's 2009 WWII epic for a couple of days because no one could actually get the story straight. But now it seems like the dust has settled a little and a few actors are left holding machine guns.
When Roger Corman's Death Race 2000 came out in 1975 it spooked a lot of people. If you haven't seen it, it's about a race in the future (now the past) where the contestants got points for running down pedestrians. The tagline was "In The Year 2000 Hit And Run Driving Is No Longer A Felony.
By now we all know that Heather Ledger did the best thing any human being has ever done in the history of the world when he played the Joker. (Just because he was really good doesn't mean I can't be a sarcastic jerk about it). But these concept images that were used before the movie started shooting look even creepier than the actual Joker.
Quentin Tarantino has been working on the script for his World War II movie since way back in 2001. It's finally, apparently, ready for mass consumption, which could really mean anything when it comes to that crazy man. There are differing accounts as to what the story is actually about, but there's a good chance it's going to be show like a western and focus around some very burly men (QT not-included in the "burly" part) making their way through WWII. If nothing else, there will no doubt be a lot of swearing and violence. Score. Studio: The Weinstein Company Rating: TBA Release Date: 2009 TBA
Episode: Mexico Anthony Bourdain said that he thinks vegans are "rude," which leads me to believe that he would get along just fine with Bear Gryll who is willing to eat just about anything. For the season five premiere, he dropped himself in the middle of the Mexican desert where, apparently, they don't have In 'N Out.
Bear Grylls is the kind of guy that makes the rest of us slobs look bad. He's climbed Mt. Everest and knows enough survival techniques to make MacGuyver look like a cut-rate Eagle Scout. Every week he drops himself into an intense situation and does all kinds of gross crap to get through it. Don't watch it with your girlfriend unless you want her to know how much of a wimp you are.
First look pictures of the upcoming adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road were just released.This is by far one of the creepiest books I have read in my entire life. You know Cormac McCarthy as the author of No Country For Old Men. Check em out.
As usual, Cisco and Shwayze are late for their appointment—a photo shoot on the beach. Jordan has a heart to heart with Warren about the weekend shows in San Diego.
Put the weird name out of your head for a minute and concentrate on the fact that James Bond is back and, juding by the poster and the trailers, well armed. The story picks up where Casino Royale left off, with 007 kicking the British asses of everyone he can point a gun at.

ICSA Teams,
We are looking forward to hosting you at Navy for our home regattas this fall. Since our school is a little different than most from a security / access perspective, you will have to follow a few simple steps so that you will be allowed to drive onto the yard and park near our sailing site:
At least seven days in advance of your competition, you should apply for a gate pass online. You can do this as early as 30 days in advance if you would
The request for a pass can be done
Username: team
Password: go2navy!
Select the sport Sailing-I and fill out the form as completely as you can. You will not likely receive any sort of confirmation, but if you fill out the form correctly, you will be allowed to drive onto the Academy. While only visiting teams and event officials will be allowed vehicle access to the yard, other spectators and supporters are encouraged to walk on to view the event.
Directions are available
