The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Ilyasova, Redick, Sanders set to return
Bucks coach Jim Boylan said he expects to be closer to full strength for Tuesday night's home game against Dallas.
Center Larry Sanders and forward Ersan Ilyasova should be available, as well as J.J. Redick, the coach indicated. All three players missed the Bucks' 115-113 victory in Sacramento on Sunday due to injuries.
Ilyasova missed the last two games with a left knee bone bruise, while Sanders and Redick were out for the game against the Kings. Sanders had a hyperextended left knee and Redick a sprained right ankle, injuries sustained in the Bucks' game in Oakland (a 103-93 victory over Golden State) on Saturday.
Forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is questionable with a turf toe injury. He started against the Kings but had to exit during the game before returning.
Boylan said Mike Dunleavy will start at small forward if Mbah a Moute is unavailable.
The Bucks bench crew played well on Sunday, with forward Gustavo Ayon contributing 12 points and Marquis Daniels adding nine in Milwaukee's victory.
The Bucks have won six of their last seven games to improve to 32-29 and are just two games out of the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference race. They trail Boston, Atlanta and Chicago by one game in the loss column.
Milwaukee is starting a busy week against the Mavericks and will follow that with a road game in Washington on Wednesday before hosting the streaking Miami Heat on Friday. Miami has won 18 straight games entering its game against Atlanta on Tuesday night.

Twas not long ago a young blogger who's moniker was
--william shatner--had a perpensity for being 'first', and
would indicate such simply by typing "first".
{Freshwater} just in from the coast where he is often
referred to as {saltwater} continues the blog tradition,
if not by necessity in proclaiming his new status amongst
the herd.

Hey SpecialK....................ARE YOU GONNA help them wheel Kaman out on the court on his Gurnee 41 tonight?
Go get em, and how about giving the Udoh minutes to Gustavo tonight? If Epke ever pulled down 7 boards in 14 minutes, I can't remember it.
From the sounds of things {MC} Gus better get some love or the brotha
is off to Spain, or France, or somewhere over there.
He's just not feelin it here in the heartland as demonstrated by his quote
the other day.
Let me get that for ya...just in case ya missed it {MC}? -
Here ya go mate:
For his part, Ayon understandably isn't thrilled with his lack of minutes to date. In a Hoops Hype translation from an earlier Spanish interview:
"Here it's gotten to the point of being asked, "Hey, what can you do?" I'm like, "You can watch tape and you see can what I can or I can't do
You realize you're not taken into consideration. You are compared to guys that are just filling out the roster and I'm not one of those...."
We'll let the class determine effect and appropriatness of said stance.
**** -
I like it! His Hornets numbers suggest there's a good backup C in there (still kind of just a guy, but we'll assume something was lost in translation there) 6ppg, 6 rebs, a steal and a block in 20 minutes is making things happen. With starters minutes he's be giving you about 10 boards and 1.5 blocks. None too shabby.
Show him the love, I say. -
I think Icky Play-dough had 7 or 8 boards against Sacto and that would be his career high as a Buck. He usually gets 1 board per 14 minutes
Gustavo is worth @ least 5 Mr. G00dBar's?
The whole league is now game-planning for Gustavo. We'll see how he handles it.
Just kidding. -
So, time for him to unveil the three point step back?
Hey Krakkens..............you think Charles might be 'Austin Powers'?
"A: Charles F. Gardner - I do give my opinion at times and can offer some perspective in the blogs and elsewhere. " -
Ahhh, thank you {andypanda} for the laugh out loud 2:08 entry.
Nice mate'>>>
Gus has something Ekpe has seemed to have lost since joining the Bucks, confidence. As starting center for the Warriors for portions of last season, Ekpe was scoring, rebounding and 10th in the league in blocked shots. For a guy in his early 20's traded into Skile's small-ball system, he did not react well. But with Biylan playing bigger, and the big upside I saw when watching many Warriors games last season, which I do not think Gus has, I would not destroy Ekpe's confidence further by giving his minutes to Gus. Sanders likes playing along side Ekpe, so I would continue to start him in a rotation including:
Udoh has never scored a lot and never scored efficiently. He is also FAMOUS for never rebounding his weight, and as far as being destroyed by Scott, his BEST rebounding rate ever was last year after the trade. You were right about his shot blocking, however. That he CAN do.
Udoh is well known as a great player for doing the small things and positioning himself well, but never getting any stats.
It looks to me like you made up your mind about Udoh and Skiles, and then made up your facts to back up your story. I know a woman like that! -
So did Ray Charles, Buck.
If what you say is true {bnk}, and I don't doubt it for a moment,
then, for the love of God get Gus out there and lets see what
the guy's got. Is this just Boylan trusting the moment?
Or himself?
Udoh has the looks, he simply seems to lack the moxie>
This is great news. Adding Ilyasova and Redick really helps out Jennings and Ellis, due to improved perimeter shooting. And of course, Sanders is a monster at the defensive end.
I'm not too concerned about Moute, as he's been playing less than 20 minutes per game anyway. Dunleavy will start, but his minutes were already strong.
Perhaps we can get some more minutes for Henson. Or maybe everyone's hero, Ayan. He's a foul machine, but it's nice to see someone out there with a pulse.-
If you can't beat 'em, hack 'em.

There's a slow burn goin on in chicago on many levels.
This is illustrated by banter this AM on the local sports radio
geniunely suggesting the Bulls would do well to win one of
those games.
The Rose-Saga has taken on so many tributaries in story line
it is worth following. ANd, chicago's guard positions are
just a mess with injuries and incompetence. That position
got really old on them real fast. Hamilton, Capt K., the little leeper
Robinson, etc. all having issues of sorts. -
Kind of fun, for a change, to watch an opposing team pay an over-rated player tens of millions of dollars to stay home all season while acting like he's too injured to play.
Once they drink the elixir of "pay for no play", they rarely come back.
Can't wait to attend tonight's game. I've had season tickets for more than a decade, but this team is fun to watch for all sorts of reasons.
Worth repeating, or so it seems.
The Bucks will lose a game here and there. Its the losing 'streak' they
ever so strongly need to avoid now. I was impressed how they came off the
Clipper lose. Wins out West no matter who the foe can be tough.
Mavs/Wiz/Heat/Magic/Portland will test them with the lesser game being on the
road, and tonight...the Mavs fighting for that precious eight spot. Their not
done. Portland is 9-20 on the road but don't they always seem to play the Bucks
This is a big five game stretch (hell they all are), and again, go ahead a
mess up a game here n there...everyone's tryin to win now, but, avoid the lapses
in which suddenly your piling up numbers in the loss column.
We're asking alot of a team who we all know good and well we have not seen this
kind of basketball in some time. Not only are we asking, "can they keep this
winning percentage up", yet we also realize the the post season requires
insurmountable energy and urgency. Can this squad provide a glorious ending
to the season AND still bring it with Gusto in Post Play.
**** -
Don't play Gooden & Pryzbilla....limit Udoh and Daniels....and this team is dangerous!
Daniels has to play now, Moute is injured
Daniels and Dunleavy at SF
cant really do JJ at SF for tonight game
Dallas would just play Marion there

Okay, so, College Humor might be a year too late on the Manic Pixie Dream Girl hate, but this clip from Vag Magazine writer Leila Cohen-Miccio is still hella funny: dude hires a prostitute just to play the ukelele, find whimsy in a hotel bathroom and live in the moment. It's really kind of demented and brilliant. [College Humor]

Normal Lake Level: 841 msl
Current Lake Level: below conservation pool
Lake Temperature: varies with the time of year, but lake rarely freezes over completely
Lake levels vary some but normally are at conservation pool. There are three boat ramps in the main lake and one boat ramp in the cooling pool on the east side of the project. Two of these ramps are inside the Linn County Park and one ramp is maintained by KDWP. Usability is determined by the weather. For winter time ramp conditions call the Linn County Park at 913-757-6633. With cold weather anglers can always use the walk-in area on the east side of the lake. This trail provides access to the hot water outlet into the lake. In cold weather this is one of the premier angling spots. The warm water produced by the KCP&L Plant attracts quantities of bait fish and predators of all kinds. Best baits are shad imitations.

General Comments |
Water levels are good for fishing. Recent bass sampling indicates that La Cygne produces some of the best large largemouth bass in the state. Boat ramps are okay to use. Overall the fishing has really improved in the last couple of weeks and it is expected to continue to improve and the water warms. Fishing at La Cygne produces a mixed bag of fish from big blue or flathead catfish, to white bass and wipers or crappie and largemouth bass. Good shoreline angler access is provided by the Linn County Park on the west side of the lake. Anglers can walk in to the hot water outlet area from the east parking lot. The location is: at 69 HWY and Ks HWY 152, go east on E.2200 Rd., turn north at Young Rd. and go West at E. 2400 Rd. to the parking lot. Unload gear and walk west down the trail to where the hot water from the power plan empties into the lake. Results from the March 10 bass tournament is:l Despite the cold rainy weather and lack of fish numbers the tournament was successful. 18 boats showed up. Most teams brought in 1 to 2 fish. A father son team brought in the biggest bag...3 fishing weighing just over 17 pounds!!! It was an awesome bag. The son also got big fish with a 7.75 and the dad came up just short of that with a 7.1! All in all it was a good day. Call the Linn County Park at 913-795-6633 for more information or camping, and cabins reservations. Get the family, get your friends and Go Fishing.

The Journey Of a Pumpkin
in 1985 Palace Software came out with a game called Cauldron for homecomputers like the C64, Spectrum and CPC.
the main character was a witch on a broom who had to collect magical items and bring them home to brew a mighty potion together, to destroy an evil Pumpkin and finish the game by doing that.
But..he is back..and seeks for revenge.
one year later, Palace brought out the game: Cauldron 2 – The Pumpkin strikes back
the game starts at a random spot where we have to navigate our always bouncing Pumpkin,
collect items in a given order and in the end to destroy the witch in her own castle.
This very good flash adaption of that game convinced the gamer´s heart as it is really close to the original. not to forget, a good game for coming halloween

Position is a way to explain where something is.
To find which is your left hand side, point your index fingers and stick your thumbs out at right angles. The finger and thumb of your left hand will form a capital letter L.
Middle is between up and down and is between left and right. Middle means the same as center.
Up means the same as above. Down means the same as below.
Left and right are called opposite sides.

In many sports, the term "position" is used to show what occupation a person has on their team. For example, in baseball, positions include catcher, shortstop and pitcher.

The position of something is where that thing is in space and time. Usually people use Cartesian coordinates to write down a position. So a scientist might say that the balloon was at x, y, z when it popped at a certain time.

Series: Evolution Basics
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: Biological Evolution: What Makes it Good Science?
Is the contemporary theory of evolution an example of good science? Biologist Michael Buratovich explore this question in a well-researched two part essay.
Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Worshiping, Growing, and Learning
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
Evolution and Creationism in America's Biology Classrooms
High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.
Science and the Bible: Assessing the Evangelical Encounter with Evolution
Having now completed our study of the five main views about "Science and the Bible" held by conservative Protestants, I conclude with a final column, assessing the whole situation as I see it today.
Introducing the BioLogos Navigator
Part of BioLogos mission is to show how all things hold together in Christ—to show how a Christian worldview integrates the knowledge we have of God through the Scriptures with the knowledge we have of God through the other areas in which He reveals himself as Creator and Redeemer.
Series: Science and the Bible: Intelligent Design
In this series, Ted Davis identifies the history, core tenets and assumptions about the Intelligent Design view.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Series: It's an Old World After All
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
Oxygen and Co-Creation
In the mid-seventeenth century, John Mayow conducted a series of experiments in which he showed that burning candles in bell jars consumed one-fifth of the enclosed air before extinguishing. Remarkably, mice placed in bell jars did exactly the same thing...
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.

Chapter 1
The hovercab glided to a halt against the curb, then settled smoothly onto the pavement.
"That'll be $79.50", said the driver.
I handed him a hundred and opened the door.
"Thanks buddy," I said as I got out into the misty air. The spaceport was bustling with activity, even at this early morning hour. I grabbed my duffle bag from the back seat and headed toward the entrance.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I watched a gorgeous redhead got out of the cab a little down the way. Shouldering my bag, I eased in through the front entrance of the space port, mentally noting that the redhead was carrying a blue duffle bag, almost an exact replica of mine, as planned.
I took a few seconds to look around me as I walked slowly behind her. I had to admit Zenori was a nice enough place, even if the creeps who built it gave it some wacky sterotypical name to add to it's modernity. Even at 7 in the morning, Zenori was bursting with activity. A couple of punk kids zoomed past on hover scooters, trying to knock each other down. I couldn't help but smile, 'cause I used to be just like that.
I stopped by the kiosk for the Zenori Reporter and a copy of some adventure story. As I set down my duffle, the gentle movement from within went ignored by all except me. Timing would be critical.
The kiosk spat out a disk in exchange for a twenty just as the redhead breezed by. Good. Another thirty seconds and the game would begin in earnest.
"Attention!" blared the public speaker, "Shuttle Z One Zero Two to Station Alpha Prime will be departing in five minutes. All passengers please report to Gate Z. Repeat! Shuttle Z One Zero Two to Station Alpha Prime ..."
Sticking the Zenori Reporter and the cheesy "Great Adventures of the Hardy Bots" diskette into the back of my khakis, I turned and fell into step behind the redhead with practiced naturalness. A security bot was hauling in the punk kids on hover scooters a few hundred yards ahead, methodically zapping them with a stunner ray. I inconspicuously admired the redhead slim waist, accentuated by her tight blue skirt and tugged in white blouse, as we proceeded down the expansive walkway toward Gate Z.
The duffel bag swung in time to my steps. It wasn't that heavy, but my knowledge of its contents made me accentuate its movements. The redhead stopped, suddenly, as if she had forgotten where she was. I also came to a halt. What was she doing? Surely she knew what to do by now, we had gone over the plan a hundred times or more...
After standing there a moment, she slowly turned her head slightly, as if something had caught her eye. After what seems like an eternity, but couldn't have been more than a second, she quickly shakes her head, as if clearing it of unpleasent thoughts. Without another hesitation, she turns and continues toward the gate.
The whole incident hadn't lasted more than 3 seconds, but it was enough to cause my blood pressure to rise. I felt panic slowly nibble at the edges of my consciousness. I too gave my head an impercetable shake, forcing the bad thoughts away. Nothing would go wrong I told myself. Before resming my place behind her, I cast a glance at what had caught her attention.
It was one of those political electronic-posters you see everywhere these days. They are all the same in my opinion.
"Reellect Proctor Varson!", the poster cried.
Hmm...Varson...doesn't ring a bell.
I look up and notice that she has gotten quite far ahead of me now. I respond quickly, rushing to catch up. Now is not the time for me to let her out of my sight.
As i hurried to catch up, i looked around furtively, trying to make sure that no one was looking at either of us suspiciously. I couldn't afford to screw up on this. I had spent too much time and money to make sure that this would go off without a hitch.
I looked over my shoulder to see if anyone was following us and traced the movements of a security bot as it hovered over to a door down the hall. It wasn't paying any attention to me, so i turned around to resume following the readhead.
She wasn't there.
I panicked, thinking that we had been caught, and looked around wildly for an exit, any exit, or even a place to hide. One of the security bots was approaching rapidly, so i ducked into a nearby bathroom.
Setting down my duffle-bag, I turned on the water and splashed my face to clear my head. Stay calm. I could still get out of this.
Suddenly one of the stalls behind me hissed open. As I turned to look, the red head emerged and said, "I can't go through with it."
Desperate, I grabbed her and pushed us both inside the stall.
"Z, we've been over this." I was speaking too loud, but couldn't stop myself, "It's the only way! Just a few more steps and it's done."
Zalia looked pale and shaky. We hadn't seen each other in weeks. Too risky. I had had to stop myself many times in the last few days from trying to contact her to make sure all was well. And just to hear her voice. It had been far from a holiday on Caldus II watching that infernal thing, but it was the only way.
A bit panicked, I backed out the loo to grab my duffle. How stupid to leave it out there!
"Where's yours?" I asked
"Listen..." she started
"Where is it?"
Zalia pulled the bag out from behind her, accidentally activating the flush mechanism of the Reliever. A cool mist sprayed up from the ergonamic bowl, perfuming the stall with a slight "Glade O' Heaven" scent, as harp music softly played in tune to the sound of a barely audible flush.
"Glad to be of your service," chirped the Reliever.
I quickly grabbed the bag out of Zalia's hand and handed her mine.
"Ok, we are going to plan B. You WILL go through with this," I hissed at Zalia forcefully, " or things will get very unpleasant for the both of us. I am a bit saddened by the frighten look in her eyes, it's a shame she had to see this side of me, but I needed her to be stronger for us to pull this off.
"I can't, Buzz ... ", she said. Just then, the bathroom's door swung opened.
Quickly, I picked Zalia up and stood her on the reliever, making her crouch down so she wouldn't be visible to whoever was entering the bathroom. I quickly unzipped and rezipped my fly, then opened the stall door, walking out with my duffel bag. I closed the stall door behind me and stood at the sink in front of it. I glanced over to see who had entered and saw the security bot coming straight towards me.
My heart began pounding, and i forced myself to look at the sink. I could hear the bot coming closer. I closed my eyes and splashed my face with cold water, hoping that it would help steady my nerves.
"Excuse me sir," it said with a deep male voice. "But I believe you left one of your bags in the stall."
My head came up. If I had taken my own bag out of the stall, then... I looked around.
It was Zalia's bag.

Dow on Pace for Triple-Digit Gain
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stocks rose again Wednesday, buoyed by better-than-expected reports on durable goods orders and pending home sales. The advance came ahead of what's now expected to be an essentially fruitless eurozone summit on Thursday and Friday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 92 points, or 0.74%, to close at 12,627. The blue-chip index has now risen in the past two sessions and clawed back the majority of the losses suffered on Monday.
The S&P 500 rose 12 points, or 0.90%, to finish at 1332. The Nasdaq climbed 21 points, or 0.74%, to settle at 2875.
The capital goods, energy and utilities sectors saw the strongest gains, while consumer cyclicals were the only group to tick lower.
Within the Dow, 24 of 30 components finished in positive territory, led by JPMorgan Chase(JPM) , Bank of America(BAC) , Alcoa(AA) , and General Electric(GE) .
Caterpillar(CAT) , McDonald's(MCD) , Home Depot(HD) , and Cisco(CSCO) were the biggest losers among the blue chips.
Winners outpaced losers by a roughly 3-to-1 ratio on the New York Stock Exchange and nearly 2-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
"We continue to believe that capital markets are simply too quiet for their own good and not accurately reflecting the myriad macro challenges in Europe and the United States," said Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx. "Those will have to come to a head in the coming months, and at current levels on the CBOE VIX (fear gauge) Index markets are simply not discounting the volatility that is to come."
Colas said that while the S&P 500 is essentially unchanged over the past 30 days, the implied volatility of eight of the 10 sectors in the index are down between 4% to 21%. Only health care and telecom stocks are higher over the period. Beyond this, the implied volatility of everything from EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) stocks -- down 5% -- to emerging markets -- down 8% -- to high yield corporates -- down 18% -- is lower over the same period.

3. | poetry slam | ||
A spoken poetry competition. The way you read your writing puts emphasis on its meaning. Uses a bit of theatrics. I won a poetry slam with my latest writing
1. | poetry slam | ||
A poetry slam is a competitive event in which poets perform their work and are judged by members of the audience. Everyone who signs up has the opportunity to read in the first round; the lineup for subsequent rounds is determined by the judges' scores. Though rules vary from slam to slam, the basic rules are: more...
* Each poem must be of the poet's own construction; * Each poet gets three minutes (plus a ten-second grace period) to read one poem. If the poet goes over time, points will be deducted from the total score. * The poet may not use props, costumes or musical instruments; * Of the scores the poet received from the five judges, the high and low scores are dropped and the middle three are added together, giving the poet a total score of 0-30. Slam is engineered for the audience, whereas a number of open mike readings are engineered as a support network for poets. Slam is designed for the audience to react vocally and openly to all aspects of the show, including the poet's performance, the judges' scores, and the host's banter. Audiences can boo or cheer at the conclusion of a poem, or even during a poem. The best poetry slams include a wide variety of writing and performance styles. This, of course, depends on who shows up to compete and-- beyond the first round-- what the judges see fit to hear more of. The only requirement for judging is that the audience member not be a family member or intimate friend of any of the competitors. The best slam poets are those wh... |

It's like a rap battle, but without the black people. "You want to come with me to a poetry slam?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't collect Pokemon." |
4. | poetry slam | ||
Shit poetry by illiterate hipsters. Everyone gets on stage and yells at you about Social Injustice. My friend forced me to go a poetry slam. I had not before then seen such a high concentration of pretentious assholes gathered for the purpose of stoking one another's egos.
5. | Poetry Slam | ||
An increasing phenomenon in bars and cafes across the western world, where poor poets strut and fret about an open mic stage and spout doggerel about police brutality, their ex-girlfriends' mothers or the last time they got stoned. All in the same poem. The point of a poetry slam is to shout your drivel louder than the previous contestant, while whooping your friends into a brain-dead ecstacy by throwing in staccato clusters of meaningless interior rhymes without discretion or respect to form reflecting thematic content. You must also recite your work breathlessly, hunched over your microphone and clutching your tofu-addled guts. Invariably, poetry slams are populated by idiots and poems are full of sound and fury, signifying something only if you are part of the poetry slam clique. "My girlfriend's mother, she's a bit of all right/Apart from her love for the fascist Right/I got stoned with her and I said, hey mother-babe/Wanna take a ride in my astrolabe/She fetched me a punch upside me chops/and said "Young man, I shall call the cops"/and they arrived and said hey you're that twat from the Poetry Slam and they hit me man and it was really heavy and like I had to eat non-organic baked beans in the cell with a papier mache fork taken from a page of the Daily Mail and had to wipe my backside with a copy of Young Conservatives' Conference Special 1987 - William Hague Edition. Wow, bummer."

Hey All,
Wanted to share a great gift idea a friend had mentioned to me. Everyone is looking for a unique and romantic gift to surprise that special person in your life, yet we still want to keep our bank account from a droubt ( especially in this economic time ). Well my friend gave me this idea to personalize a wine label with our old engagement photo on the front. He told me to visit personalwine.com and I did. Turned out to be cheap and unique. They have great bottles of wine for spectacular prices, and the labels turned out so cool. I have hidden the bottle until V-Day but man I cant wait to pull it out and pop that cork. We are going to have a great night. Who knows, add some chocolate and a home cooked meal, maybe ill get a special gift of my own. Hope this helps.

'Obama' as a prefix
Category: Opinion Written by Julianne Malveaux
(NNPA)--The right wing seems determined to associate President Obama with any government program that helps people on the bottom. Thus, the term Obamacare was used to attack the health care program that President Obama fashioned and worked with Congress to approve. While Obamacare is not perfect, it brings more people into the health care system, and further solidifies the safety net that many have attempted to fray.
Now these folks are running with the term "Obamaphone," which speaks to the fact that President Obama has simply extended a Lifeline plan that was authorized by Republican President Ronald Reagan when it was clear that those who were either isolated by poverty or by their rural status needed telephones to connect themselves to the world.
The Reagan program used taxes on some of us to provide telephones for the rest of us. People were able to get a telephone that offered basic service for a basic fee. With the onset of technology, Lifeline customers had the option of getting a landline phone or a cellular phone. This is not an Obama initiative. It began in 1996.
Those who get a subsidized telephone have numerous restrictions. They don't get to choose their phone, but are offered whatever is available, usually a refurbished phone. They get 250 minutes a month if they get a cell phone. The 250 minutes is about four hours a month, or an hour a week. Is this really some kind of rip off, or is it a reasonable way to bring people on the periphery to the center? What do you do with no phone when there is a medical emergency or even a job call? Absent Lifeline, you are yet again a peripheral citizen.
Obamaphone? Give me a break. Until the Tea Party began to hold sway on our national consciousness, Republicans were among those who embraced the notion that every American should have basic telephone service. Now, anything associated with government assistance is associated with President Obama, despite the fact that both Democratic and Republican presidents have attempted to assist people at the bottom, albeit with different levels of energy.
Let's not forget that it was Democratic President Bill Clinton who pushed the "welfare reform" that limited government assistance to 60 months or five years. When President Clinton, long a favorite among African-Americans, proffered a 1996 reform that I described as "welfare deform," several of his African-American supporters excoriated him. He weathered the storm, as did the public assistance program. Still, nobody describes it as Clintonwelfare. It was an ill- conceived and pandering policy change that allowed President Clinton to brag that he'd gotten "tough" on public assistance.
Associating President Obama with government support to the poor is a subtle way of associating people of African descent with public assistance, and with the pejorative term "welfare." This is a most understated form of racial coding, a coding that enabled former Congressman Newt Gingrich to describe President Obama as a "food stamps" president and to falsely assert that President Obama "put" more people on food stamps than any other president in history. Does Mr. Gingrich remember the Great Recession that the scion of his party, former President George W. Bush, enabled, or is he too busy purchasing jewelry for his blushing bride of a decade to pay attention to our nation's economic situation?
One in six Americans lives in poverty. More than one in four African-Americans and Latinos live in poverty. One in 10 of all Whites live in poverty. The Great Recession and economic restructuring have kicked these diverse groups of poor people, many who are grateful for food assistance, to the curb. President Obama has been responsive to this group of people to the extent that a hostile Congress has allowed it.
If I were President Obama, I'd be flattered by descriptions of Obamacare and Obamaphones. I would not even mind having food stamps being described as Obamafood. Would we prefer to describe poverty as Romney starve, or sequester starve? Make it plain. Associating President Obama with health care, Lifeline telephones and healthy eating is to his credit, not his detriment.

Political maneuvering over the budget
Category: Opinion Written by George E. Curry
(NNPA)—There has been much discussion about the big picture items in President Obama's proposed budget for fiscal 2014. If the devil is in the details, as politicians like to say, some parts of Obama's budget will mean hell for some needy citizens.
Before getting into the details, let's talk approach. As I have often said, I am not a fan of some of the tactical approaches Obama takes. I understand that his reasoned approach—as opposed to the meat cleaver style of House Republicans—is far better than the GOP alternative. Still, it makes no sense to offer a compromise position in advance of actual negotiations.
A report by the Center of Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan think tank that analyzes government policy and programs, notes, "It is unusual for a President to include these kinds of compromise policies in his budget. Typically, the President's budget would include policies that are more akin to an opening bid in a negotiation—that is, the President's budget generally reflects his preferred policies. This budget, in contrast, reflects the President's position at a stage of the negotiations after several rounds of offers had been made. This budget differs significantly from the approach taken in earlier Obama budgets."
Clearly, compromises will have to be made at some point—even compromises President Obama will not want to make—but this is not the time to make them.
Robert Greenstein, president of CBPP, said: "Politically speaking, I had thought that the White House should not put these concessions in its budget, as distinguished from offering them in bipartisan negotiations if and when Republicans agreed to dedicate substantial savings from curbing tax credits, deductions, and other preferences (known as 'tax expenditures') to deficit reduction. The Administration took a different approach. Having done so, it is appropriately insisting that the part of its budget that contains the President's last offer to Boehner is an indivisible package—that policymakers cannot cherry pick the budget cuts on their own, as some Republicans are already suggesting, without taking the accompanying revenue increases."
Given President Obama's overtures, one would think reasonable people would meet him half way. But the operative word is "reasonable." Instead of also making concession, Republicans have become even more recalcitrant.
"When it comes to deficit reduction, the playing field is not level," Greenstein stated. "The President is sticking with his final offer to Boehner despite the anger that it's creating in his party and his political base due to the chained CPI and other proposals.
"The Speaker and other Republican leaders, however, have buried their last offer to Obama in December and are ignoring the fact that it included $400 billion in revenue increases beyond what policymakers enacted at the start of the year. They now brand any new revenues as unacceptable. The contrast between the President's approach and that of Republican leaders is striking."
Beyond the political wrangling, there is plenty to be concerned about.
"The budget proposes to replace sequestration for all years—2013 through 2021—with other deficit-reduction measures. While most of the proposed deficit reduction is in the form of higher revenues and lower entitlement spending, the budget also reduces funding for discretionary programs by $200 billion below the already austere caps set in the 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA)," the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities report states.
"The $200 billion in proposed cuts are evenly split between defense and non-defense programs, consistent with the President's December offer to Speaker Boehner. Non-defense discretionary programs include a broad set of government functions, such as education, public health, law enforcement, veterans' health care, housing supports for low-income families, and scientific and medical research."
Calling the non-defense discretionary program funding "ill-advised," The center's report noted, "The BCA funding caps already significantly constrain this area of the budget. In fact, under the BCA caps, spending for non-defense discretionary programs is on track to reach, by 2016, its lowest level on record as a share of the economy (these data go back to 1962). This area of the budget, which has been cut significantly in recent years and is not a driver of longer-term deficits, would be cut still more deeply under the President's budget."
In addition the CBPP said, "The budget would increase the income-related premiums paid by upper-income beneficiaries and gradually expand those premiums to cover a larger fraction of beneficiaries. It would also increase cost-sharing for new beneficiaries by raising the deductible for physician services, introducing co-payments for certain home health care services, and introducing a premium surcharge for those who purchase Medigap supplement plans that provide near-first-dollar coverage (which encourages greater utilization of health care services)."
There are plenty of good things in the president's proposed budget, including his plan to expand early education and infrastructure investments, but Obama needs to break his addictive habit of making major concessions to Republicans before sitting at the bargaining table with them.

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (CNN) -- If September 11, 2001, was the day everything changed, then April 15, 2013, serves as another reminder of that change, of our frailties and of a new reality in which "it can't happen here" has been replaced by "it can happen anywhere."

Researcher uncover secret of owls' neck twist
Backup arterties help the birds rotate their heads up to 270 degrees.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine investigated how owls can turn their heads up to 270 degrees without injuring themselves. They found that owls have backup arteries that provide more nutrients when their blood vessels get strained by rapid turning.
Scientists already knew that the birds only had one socket pivot, which allows them to twist more than humans, who have two.
But the new study revealed that the arteries also collect any excess blood that's created by the extreme turning.
Bing: See owls up close
The team's research was summarized on the U.S. National Science Foundation website.

CD (Item 608498) Fania, 1994 — Condition: New Copy
A tremendous concert from the Fania All Stars – recorded on the 30th anniversary of the Fania label, and with enough fire and soul to show that the group hasn't dimmed at all over the years!

Tunes are a bit shorter than the old days, but still have plenty of room for participants to do their thing – and titles include "Quitate La Mascara", "Puerto Rico/Adoracion", "Azuquita Mami", "Busca Lo Tuyo", "Tres Pianos/Guajira", "Vamanos Pal'Monte", and "Su Gente". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Blessings everyone, today I wanted to post a great video exposing a very obvious Illuminati band called '30 Seconds to Mars', they seem to be infatuated, as many other entertainers, with using Satanic and Illuminati symbolism, their logo is a Pyramid with a capstone in other cases a Phoenix, which in Occultism represents Lucifer, they also use the pyramid hand-sign just like Jay Z, Kanye and others. Their videos and songs are filled with subliminal messages, some very direct ones, like singing for a "Brave New World", which is another term used for a New World Order, not only that but in the video for the same song they flash on the screen the words "Lucifer, Power, Fame" for a second, coming out of the mouth of their lead singer who coincidentally is also a famous Hollywood actor by the name of Jared Leto, who has been part of many movies with the same Illuminati symbolism that on his music.
The video also explains some of the messages behind the Movie Transformers, for which they made the soundtrack, a film full of symbolism regarding the coming deception, as I have mentioned in earlier articles. Lastly by the end of the video, there's a piece of footage from an interview in which Jared Leto blatantly promotes the Illuminati's depopulation agenda, and right after that, you'll see Bill Gates at the annual TED conference, also expressing the same idea regarding depopulation, yet in this case actually explaining how to achieve it in a major and faster way, through Vaccines, Health Care and Reproductive Health Services.
Is time to wake up, people must be aware of the world we live in and of what 'the powers that be' have prepared for the coming years, blessings.
