Delphi retirees won't forget
Last Monday marked the 7th anniversary of Delphi filing for bankruptcy protection in 2005. Coincidentally, almost to the date, Delphi came out of bankruptcy Oct. 6, 2010.
Since then the lives of 22,000 Delphi salaried retirees and families have been forever altered, and not for their good. Many saw their vested pensions reduced by 30 percent to 70 percent. These were pensions that salaried employees had partially funded with their own contributions over their many years of service to GM and then Delphi. All of us saw cancellation of our health and life insurances.
These were some of the consequences resulting from the cold, calculated choices made by the Obama administration, Treasury and the Automotive Task Force to pick winners and losers in the GM (Government Motors) bailout. GM wins; the American taxpayers and Delphi salaried retirees lose.
It is truly amazing that the Obama administration might think that the determination of the Delphi salaried retirees to see a job through to successful completion was like a light switch suddenly and forever turned off once we retired. How wrong they are. We were always a "can do" group of employees. We did "whatever it took" to solve problems and issues so that the products we produced were made to the highest quality standards and shipped on time. We always worked as a team — a team that included our hourly brothers and sisters. The culture of GM/Delphi encouraged those attitudes in all of us.
We salaried retirees are a determined lot. President Obama needs to know that we are not going away until our pensions are fully restored and other grievances redressed.
Dennis Beck, Liberty Township
One dire look into the future
Many Americans have al- ready made up their minds to vote for Obama next month. They consider themselves to be true, rock-solid Democrats, or are voting for him because of race, or are union members who believe Obama supports them. They should reconsider.
There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that this president is "fundamentally transforming" America into a socialist nation. Even if you don't fully understand these words, or what they imply, you should know from history that socialism doesn't work, plain and simple. A former citizen of the Soviet Union recently stated that, "socialism is seductive, but is a totally bankrupt philosophy." Seductive in that many people like the idea that government will take care of them. Bankrupt because you eventually run out of "other people's money."
I really don't think people know the importance of this vote in how it will influence their near future and the future of their children and grandchildren. The national debt is at $16 trillion, and it rests on the shoulders of Americans yet unborn.
People all across our nation are preparing for dire consequences if Obama is re-elected. These people are serious and are getting ready for worst-case scenarios to protect their families and friends, to defend their freedom and liberty; to restore our nation to original intent Constitutionalism. Novels have been written about a possible terrorist nuclear weapon creating an electromagnetic pulse that would destroy all electronic devices within range. If that happens, it is estimated that 25 percent of our population would die in the first year for a number of reasons. Likewise, if Obama and Hillary pursue making gun ownership illegal, there will be a huge backlash of Americans who will refuse to give up their Second Amendment rights.
So, my fellow Americans, consider the consequences of your votes next month; it may mean the difference between liberty and tyranny.
Donald K. Allen, DVM, Youngstown
Another dire look into the future
Nov. 6, 2012, the Tea Party takes over more statehouses, governors' offices, and the U.S. Senate. Mitt Romney wins the White House.
Jan. 2, 2013, more states begin to pass voter-restriction laws, anti-union laws, more-restrictive abortion laws. The U.S. Congress begins the process of scrapping the Affordable Care Act, the EPA, the Department of Education, the Energy Department and others. They vote to void the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Voting Rights Act and all regulatory agencies.
Congress also starts the process to privatize Social Security, change Medicare to a voucher system, eliminate Medicaid altogether.
Jan. 21, 2013, Congress sends all these bills over to President Romney, who signs every one of them.
Jan. 21, 2013-Jan. 20, 2017, at least one liberal member of the Supreme Court retires. President Romney nominates an ultra-conservative, to whom the Senate quickly consents. The court shifts dramatically to the right for at least a generation.
Jan. 21, 2013-Jan. 20, 2017, Congress moves to change the U.S. Constitution, repealing amendments they don't like and adding amendments. Amendments allowing religion in schools, outlawing abortion and defining marriage as being between one man and one woman are added. Three-quarters of the states, being under Tea Party control, move quickly to ratify the changes.
Of course, throughout the period, various lawsuits are filed. But the Justice Department is now controlled by President Romney and the Supreme Court by the far right, so good luck.
This may be the most important election of our lifetime. That's why it's so important that everyone should vote. Shame on us if we allow this country to be taken over by this bunch of fanatics.
Geoffrey Jones, Boardman
Romney championed auto rescue
The controversy over the GM bailout continues with references in The Vindicator to a New York Times op-ed piece headlined: "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," penned by Mitt Romney. Those who wave the title of the op-ed and attribute it to Romney are just playing a crass political game. After all it's a newspaper editor who wrote the headline, not Mitt Romney.
Those who point to the headline would have you believe that Romney's plan was to have the auto industry fail, collapse, go out of business. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Listening to Romney's critics you would think that Obama spared GM the pain of bankruptcy. In fact GM was forced into bankruptcy by the Obama administration in exchange for federal financial help. Obama followed the path laid down by Romney, when he advised: "A managed bankruptcy may be the only path to fundamental restructuring the industry needs." Six month after Romney's advice, the Obama administration forced GM into a managed bankruptcy.
No doubt bankruptcy would have looked different under a Romney administration. It would have been much less political and local Delphi retirees might have been treated more fairly, but the focus would have been the same: finding a way to save the industry.
In Romney's op-ed piece, he explicitly supported federal loan guarantees to help the troubled automaker re-establish itself as a viable business. Romney concluded his piece this way: "The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk. In a managed bankruptcy, the federal government would propel newly competitive and viable automakers, rather than seal their fate with a bailout check."
When reading Romney's article, it's clear he has great compassion for the auto industry. He talked about his love for the auto industry, and pointed out that he was born in Detroit, and his father was tapped to lead American Motors through difficult times.
Mark E. Munroe, Youngstown
The writer is chairman of the Mahoning County Republican Party.
Obama care will eliminate Medicare as we know it, by not paying for the services, every year its gets worse.
Seniors, if your on Medicare your doctor will be paid 33% less than is currently paid.
Healthcare cost is increasing, Hospital cost is increasing, Wake up.
I am voting for Obama. Why ?
I am not a rock-solid democrat, I am not black, I'm not a union member.
I am voting for Obama because I believe that Romney really does believe what he said about the 47% of America.
I am a 47%er. BUT for 50 some years I worked and paid taxes. I now am living on Social Security AND my personal savings accumulated during my working years. So for now, I am in the group that Romney has described as irresponsible.
For Romney to say about me "I'l never convince (the 47% who pay no income tax) that they should take personal responsibility for their lives" is offensive.
For Romney to characterize me, " They (the 47% who pay no income tax) are dependant on the government, believe they are victims, believe that the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe thay are entitled to healthcare, food, to housing , and who believe that the government should give it to them".
Unfortunately I believe that he intended exactly what he said about me. His problem was that he never intended me to hear him describing me to others.
Romney has convinced me that he is just a snake-oil salesman. He will say whatever is needed in a particular town or setting to make the sale.
Ultimately, not only did he offend me personally, he has now convinced me that I can not trust his words.
And that's why I'm not voting for Romney!
I myself liked the America Geoffrey Jones described.
The American Dream of today is getting a welfare check and free public housing. Those who work for a paycheck are looked upon as the tax base. The rewards for years of working and paying taxes are getting slimmer. Don't expect much and you wont be disappointed. Government jobs are the only ones with a secure pension
OMG the Culture is out and about . We must stop those people . From the super insight of HULK/ STAN .
He is SOOOO smart
Please explain... "Mr Romney said it bit his lip before the explanation. Knowing what the headlines would read and his point never being able to be made." When was this said, what explanation are you talking about and what was his point (originally)?
"For weeks, Mitt Romney stood by his now-infamous remarks about "the 47 percent." Sure, he said, his criticism of nearly half of Americans who don't pay income taxes was "not elegantly stated," but he refused to disavow it." according to the WashingtonPost.
"Clearly in a campaign, with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question-and-answer sessions, now and then you're going to say something that doesn't come out right. In this case, I said something that's just completely wrong," -Mitt Romney to Sean Hannity on Fox News
If the "something came out wrong" he should explain what he was trying to say and why he it blundered so badly. But Romney's original remarks to his wealthy donors went on for over a minute, this was no gaffe.This was no slip of the tongue. This was the honest to goodness Romney being very candid with his donors about what he thinks of citizens who do not have an income tax bill. .
My view of the American society is an optimistic one. It is essential that we have faith and confidence in our leaders. I have none with Romney, he destroyed that with his remarks about the 47%ers.
Well said HappyBob, I agree with you 100%. His views are insulting to all of us in this category.
Vote for Obama if you "need" food stamps and subsidized housing...what a joke.

PARIS (Reuters) - Airbus
The airline also took a further 25 options on the planes, the companies said at the Paris Airshow on Wednesday.
Industry sources had told Reuters on Tuesday the carrier was about to announce the deal after talks narrowly avoided collapse.
Air France-KLM has been at loggerheads with suppliers over issues mainly including maintenance of the plane's Rolls-Royce engines ever since the deal was first mooted in 2011. Air France and Rolls had clashed over conflicting ideas for engine supply deals.
The airline said on Wednesday, however, that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Rolls-Royce
Rolls said the deal to power the 25 A350s was worth $1.1 billion at list prices.
Air France traditionally orders engines from Rolls' U.S. rival General Electric
Air France-KLM is seeking to lower costs by cutting jobs and restructuring its network as it aims to return to profit and cut debt by 2 billion euros by the end of next year. It faces soaring fuel costs, a worsening cargo business and tough competition from Gulf and low-cost carriers.
"This shows that despite some difficulties Air France-KLM is facing, we are in sufficiently good shape to be able to plan the renewal of our long-haul fleet," said Alexandre de Juniac, who is due to become Air France-KLM chief executive from July 1.
Air France-KLM currently operates a fleet of just over 190 Airbus aircraft.
By the end of May, the A350 XWB had won 613 firm orders from 33 customers worldwide.

Vegan MoFo: Noochy Popcorn! »
For my Vegan MoFo post this week, I made Sarah's popcorn recipe, and took it to the extreme! Actually, no, I didn't, I just added tons of salt and nutritional yeast and made that shit healthy and delicious. Ain't nothing tastier than popcorn drowned in Earth Balance, salt, and nooch. Except for lots of things, but that's not the purpose of this post!
Go make it! And put tons of nutritional yeast on it! Because if you don't, your little vegan brain will soon start to shrivel and rot. Seriously, B12 is hella important!
Here's a shitty picture I took on Jonas' cutting mat. That thing in the upper right corner is a Compassion Over Killing chicken keychain. Don't be jealous!

Hey, SF! Vegan Drinks is upon us! »
My favorite thing in the world is picking popcorn out of my teeth. Why? Because it gives me something to do AND it means I just ate a shit-ton of popcorn, which is one of many reasons to go to August's SF Vegan Drinks tomorrow, Aug. 25, from 6 to 8 p.m at Martuni's.
Why else would you go? Besides all-you-can-eat vegan popcorn, you can
get hammered meet other local vegans and network to your little heart's content. This month's special is something called the "VDSF," a martini with this new SF edition of Absolut Vodka (no idea) and juice, for $5. VegNews will provide attendees with a list of nearby veg restaurants to help you soak up the booze later, and if you're working on a veg project, you can yak into the microphone to anyone who will listen at 7:45 p.m. Plus if you're like me—cough-UNEMPLOYED-cough—you don't have an excuse NOT to go. I'm bummed they did away with the vegan hot dogs, but I hate everything there's always next time.

Best popcorn recipe ever, you're welcome »
One of my favorite late-night snacks is salty popcorn damp with melted "butter;" don't even talk to me about kettle corn, or we are not friends. Once I was no longer able to enjoy prepackaged microwave popcorn (even SmartPop has dairy, NOT SO SMART AFTER ALL), there was a void in my life. Oh, sure, I tried to fill it by air-popping bulk popcorn in the microwave; this technique never really worked right, instead causing melted plastic bowls, wasted brown paper sacks, burned kernels, kitchen fires, and so forth.
So I migrated my popcorn operation to a giant pot on the stove top. I'd dump in some oil or melt some Earth Balance at the bottom of the pan, toss the kernels in, and try not to burn my hands while shaking the pot vigorously. This inevitably resulted in burnt and unpopped kernels, not to mention a huge mess if the pot lid flew off.
Last night, I discovered something that savvy internet users have apparently known for some time: Making popcorn in the pressure cooker. It's the BEST: no risk of the lid flying off while you're shaking the pot, no burnt kernels, very few unpopped ones, salty and buttery popcorn, and just general awesomeness stuck between your teeth for days. There are many great reasons to own a pressure cooker, and I use mine all the time, but this is what truly made the acquisition worth it for me. Try it!
Pressure Cooker Popcorn
2 Tbsp. Earth Balance (or olive oil, if you're healthy and shit)
1/4 cup popcorn kernels
You can make more, but be sensitive to your pressure cooker's size, and use a 1:2 oil-to-popcorn ratio.
Put your pressure cooker on the stove, and heat it on high. Melt your Earth Balance if using. Meanwhile, remove or open the steam vent-thing or whatever keeps the pressure inside your cooker.
Throw three popcorn kernels in the pot and monitor them, but not too closely; you don't want to lose an eye. When they pop, you're ready to pour the rest of your kernels in. Shake the pot to distribute them evenly along the bottom. Fit the vented lid on top.
I know your arms are tired, but you've got to keep shaking the pot from side to side while keeping it on top of the burner. Trust, it will be worth it. Listen to the happy noise of popcorn popping. Remove the pressure cooker from the heat as soon as you count five seconds in between pops.
Pour your finished popcorn into a bowl, and marvel at its perfect beauty. Ruin it by dumping salt or nutritional yeast all over it. Shove into your facepiece by the handful. Be fat 'n' happy.

Review: the Parkway Speakeasy Theater! »
For being delightfully in the heart of Oakland, the Parkway Speakeasy Theater place sure sees a lot of Skinny White Bitches.* In fact, I can count the number of black people I've seen here on one hand AND I ONLY HAVE TWO FINGERS. That's a lie about the two fingers but wouldn't that be cool? And by cool, I mean horrible. Other than the not-so-delightful gentrification (wait sorry, revitalization) of Oakland, I do enjoy sinking my fat white ass into one of the comfy (yet probably highly unsanitary) couches to enjoy a second generation first-run movie or art house feature. They also have special nights with horror films, kids' films (you can bring your gross baby that night) and tons of other special events. But the coolest thing about the parkway is that you can GET ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES DURING THE MOVIE. OK, not all alcohol, it's only beer and wine but there are decent selections in both categories. The second most awesome thing about The Parkway is that you can enjoy your movie while snacking on VEGAN PIZZA (they make their own vegan cheese, kinda like a fake ricotta but it works, and tons of vegan toppings!) They also make a few vegan sandwiches and salads and various other vegan-friendly snacks (and often vegan cookies!!)! It is a very satisfying experience. The vegan stuff is clearly marked on their menu and they're open to suggestions so you can email them or leave a comment card when you're there and they'll try to accommodate. It was loud-mouthed vegans who got the vegan stuff onto the menu to begin with it so it pays to speak up and FIGHT THE POWER! Or NICELY MAKE A SUGGESTION!
Two more things: It's only $5 admission price and it's two-for-one on Wednesdays! Love that as I'm hella cheap. Also, they have a second location in El Cerrito if you want to enjoy a movie out in the sticks. El Cerrito is totally far away.
*Oh and calm the fuck down, Skinny White Bitches of the world. I don't need any hate mail because I used such an offensive slur against your people. If being called a Skinny White Bitch is the worst thing that has ever happened to you well then, LIFE IS GOOD.

Here's your degree -- and a lawsuit
Some universities are suing students who can't or won't repay their school loans.
Recent graduates are also having more trouble paying off their college loans, and many are being threatened with legal action from their alma maters for nonpayment of tuition and other bills.
The University of Pennsylvania filed six lawsuits against former students in November, demanding repayments from $13,000 to $27,000. A university spokeswoman told the Daily Pennsylvanian that students who graduate or leave the university with an outstanding balance will see their debt transferred to the school's collections office. Past-due balances, she said, are subject to a late-payment penalty of 1.5% per month.
And universities have other unique ways of pressuring students who can't or won't pay their bills. Kenya Shujaa, a former graduate student at Penn, faced a lawsuit and also saw the university withhold access to her transcript, which she said "limited the kinds of jobs that I could have." But Shujaa, who settled her debts last year, says she understands the university's actions. "That's the rule when you owe them money," she said.
Students who borrowed funds for college and earned bachelor's degrees in 2011 left school with an average of $26,600 in student loan debt, up 5% from 2010, according to a recent report by the Project on Student Debt, by The Institute for College Access and Success.
Last year, the Department of Education reported a 13.4% national student loan default rate -- with for-profit institutions having the highest average three-year default rate of 22.7%, public institutions at 11% and private, nonprofit schools at 7.5%.
"We continue to be concerned about default rates and want to ensure that all borrowers have the tools to manage their debt," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a press release. "In addition to helping borrowers, we will also hold schools accountable for ensuring their students are not saddled with unmanageable student loan debt."
Not surprisingly, educators say getting a college degree increases a student's chances of finding a job that pays well. But some also stress that both students and parents need to educate themselves about the loan process.
"Students and parents need to know that, even at similar looking schools, debt levels can be wildly different," said Lauren Asher, the president of The Institute for College Access and Success. "And if they do need to borrow to get through school, federal student loans, with options like income-based repayment, are the safest way to go."

Michael Dell's tough road ahead
You can't get blood from a turnip. This is just the next shoe falling on tax payers. The responsible working tax paying middle class person is the "unwilling consumer" for all the deadbeats leaching off the government.
Same thing they did with housing......... O hey .. you can't afford a house here is a loan anyway we will let the tax payer pick up the tab as we save the bankers.
College is expensive. Don't major in something that is a "feel good" major. Sure, that communications or art history degree allowed for some bodacious beer drinking while at school, but isn't paying you back post-graduation since you decided to spend $90k on the freaking thing. It is infuriating when people blame this, that, or the other thing for the ballooning student loan debt. I had over twice the average student debt and am almost done with repayment. It is my debt, I took it out and I am responsible for it. I have never missed a payment or been late with one. I have not been able to visit Europe as much as I want, or buy a new Benz, and had to wait unitl I'm in my 30's to buy a house because of that debt, but I only blame myself. Take some responsiblity for crying out loud. Stop blaming everyone else for your financial woes and open your eyes to the big wide world. Sometimes it will kick your a$$.
Wow....... where does this "you owe me" mentality come from?
if i borrow money from you, and I don't pay it back, it's solely a problem between you and I and not anyone else.
If I am the kind of person who demands someone else gets involved, I am a leech, and not a smart person.
If I am a group of people who supports and demands others get involved because I can't handle my own affairs, I am a liberal who thinks "someone owes me because I don't have enough skill to manage my own life."
No wonder there are articles like this.
Colleges have gotten a sweetheart deal for too long. These student loans are backed by the government so lenders are not concerned with your ability to repay, they will get their money back one way or the other. The schools are not encouraged to compete and charge unrealistic rates for classes and books, what do they care the loans will cover it. These loans cannot be set aside, you can't EVER get out of them, so the tudent is on the hook perpetually FOREVER.
The schools offer useless degrees or degrees that have very limited opportnities to make a living. I am not saying that music and art are not necessary but the market for most of these students would be working as a pinter of houses or a clerk in a record store. There are many many other examples such as ethnic or gender or lifestyle specific degrees. While it is good to have these areas of study available it is unfair to charge $80,000 or more for a degree that virtually worthless in perparing a student for the job world. Most of the people that have jobs relating to these type of degree are the ones teaching the classes.
In my opinion, colleges are the next bubble. Tuition increases always seem to be double to triple
inflation. Student loan rates were very high in the last decade, and the coursework appears to
outdated. Job related skills can probably be learned somewhere else. Already our colleges have
significantly more foreign students just to fill up the classes.
Since so much funding comes from alumni, litigating against them seems to be biting the hand
that will eventually feed. If the colleges don't believe these students will be the next generation of donors, then they are in real trouble as the product that they are selling is overpriced.
Eventually, the college experience may be like Amazon, order your course DVD and go to kiosk for testing. College will be for liberal arts education, similar to what it was like in the past.
Once again the only making sense on this feed is . Thank you for your insight. American's are brainwashed. The Capitalist structure doesn't work for education. Furthermore, the endless taxes paid to the government, by lowest earners is an outrage to our society. The Government has yet to get this right, and love to puni**** citizens.

Just when Project Kahn seemed been lost in the shadows, the British tuning firm returns back to the spotlight with some pretty snazzy new programs for us aftermarket-loving fanatics.
We've already gotten a good look at the new Range Rover Diablo and now, Afzal Kahn and his merry band of buddies have released their latest styling package for the Audi A5 .
As a man who prides himself on providing customers with some of the most well thought of packages in the industry, Kahn's work on the Audi A5 is a testament to why he's considered one of the best in the biz. The new body kit for the A5 may be "subtle" compared to his past works, but there's still something to be said about a man that can turn just about anything into his own personal work of art.
There's a taste of subdued aggression with this new body kit, something that allows the A5 to look more menacing than its standard brethren. And on top of that, its interior has been spruced up to add get some luxurious shine.
All told, another fine piece of work from Kahn and the boys.
Details on the Audi A5 by Project Kahn after the jump.
Exterior and Interior
The Audi A5 is one of those cars that, on its own, already stands out from the pack, but when you add a styling package that allows the car to bare its teeth a little more, then you have something that will completely draw the attention of anybody who takes even the quickest of glances of it.
That's how you can describe Project Kahn's latest body kit bonanza on the A5. The front and rear bumpers have been tinkered with to include side blades; the rear end of the car was given a boot spoiler; the car was given a stainless steel sports quad exhaust system; the side mirrors, and the front and rear diffuser were given a pearl finish; and there's also the new set of highly-advanced 21" RSL lightweight wheels with black and red stripes. All these modifications embody Project Kahn's mission of bringing out elegance and skilled artistic innovation in one especially tight program.
The inside of the A5 was likewise not left out of the changes. In it you'll find a complete leather treatment in perforated nappa befitting Project Kahn's goal of giving the interior a "bespoke touch". Other notable items on the car's interior include red dials in matte finish and billet aluminum pedals.
While the car's suspension was lowered by 35 mm and the addition of the stainless steel sports quad exhaust system does provide improved performance, Project Kahn steered clear of making any engine upgrades on the car so you can expect it to still carry the same 2.0-liter TFSI that produces 211 horsepower and 258 lb/ft of torque.
Project Kahn has priced the complete set-up of the Audi A5 Coupe Sport at £31,875, which is about $51,381 based on current exchange rates.
While we do enjoy what Project Kahn added with their new body kit for the Audi A5, nothing still beats a performance upgrade, which really put a damper on the tuning firm's work.
On the flip side, the Audi A5 Cabrio by Senner Tuning does come with a performance upgrade, albeit at the expense of minimal changes on the car's aesthetics.
Comparing the two programs, we believe that Project Kahn's work on the body looks far more aggressive than the relatively subdued work given by Senner Tuning. In terms of completely restyling the A5 to bring out the car's mean streak, the nod definitely goes to Project Kahn.
But at the end of the day, tuning companies that provide performance upgrades on the car will always have a leg-up on those that give body kits, and this is where Senner Tuning's software optimization on the A5's 2.0-liter T-FSI engine - it bumps up the output to 275 horsepower - takes the proverbial cake.
- Fresh and agressive exterior
- Nappa leather interior
- Nice 21" wheels
- No engine tweaks
- A bit pricey relative to the program
- Other options are available

LANSING (WKZO) -- Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette is calling for a single "en banc" hearing by all 15 judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit on the state's gay marriage ban case. Schuette filed a petition with the appeals court on Friday in an attempt to expedite the case, and notes the option has been granted previously.
The attorney general is defending the state's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages, which was overturned by a federal judge in Detroit in March. The federal appeals court issued a stay the next day, putting over 300 couples who were able to get married in legal limbo until a final decision is made.

KUNA — The Firth and Ririe girls basketball programs are all too familiar with each other, playing each other four times this season with a 2-2 result. Today at the Idaho Center in Nampa, the tiebreaker doesn't get any bigger: the Cougars and Bulldogs meet for the Class 2A state championship.
Both Firth and Ririe won in Friday's championship semifinal games, with the Cougars dominating another group of Bulldogs, the ones from Melba, in a 57-35 rout that seemed to be decided halfway through the first quarter.
MIDDLETON — There will be no repeat as state champion for the Snake River girls basketball team. Instead, the 46-39 loss to Timberlake in Thursday's Class 3A state tournament opening round drops the Panthers into the consolation bracket.
KUNA -- Kayla Jensen relished her assignment in the waning moments of the Firth Cougars' opening round game of the Class 2A girls state tournament: hug the ball and don't move.
Jensen snatched a loose ball in the final three seconds and held on to help Firth preserve a 44-43 victory over New Plymouth.
FIRTH — When Firth junior Jackson Thompson won his opening match of the 2A District Six wrestling tournament Wednesday afternoon he had no idea how long his day would end up being.
A two-point takedown with five seconds left in the third period sent the match into overtime. A reversal in the overtime gave Thompson the win over West Jefferson's Blade Albertson.
But the fatigue and stalling to catch his breath Thompson felt in the opening match would get even more intense in his second match as a berth in the 170 pound championship match hung in the balance.
After jumping out to an early lead against Salmon's Garrett Jarnigan, Thompson went in for a takedown in the final seconds of the match to steal the win, instead Jarnigan reversed Thompson and earned a tough 6-4 win.
Undeterred, Thompson wrestled his way all the way through the consolation bracket to earn a third place finish and a berth in next week's state wrestling tournament.
Thompson was the first of nine Cougars who punchers their tickets to the state tournament.
THOMAS — It is never to go into a season as the defending state champion and the favorite to repeat regardless of sport or classification.
The Snake River Lady Panthers found that out right from the beginning of the 2013-14 season.
But despite the trials and tribulations of the season the Panthers again won the 3A District 5 championship last week and will be returning to this week's 3A state basketball tournament to defend their title.
South Fremont 58, Shelley 54
South Fremont 12 14 12 20 — 58
Shelley 12 10 14 18 — 54
South Fremon Rykert Maupin 16, Kade Schatt 6, Joe Davenport 7, Chandler Campbell 2, Alec Pope 1, Con Bauer 26.
Shelley — Tyler Fredrickson 16, Bracken Nelson 16, Blaine Rumsey 4, Markos Vega 1, Dalton Nelson 8, Taylor Lund 7, Carter Cannon 5.
Snake River's first four baskets were 3-pointers as the Panthers started fast en route to a 69-52 District Five victory over Marsh Valley on Friday night.
Jaden Poulter got a steal and layup to complete the first quarter scoring for the Panthers (6-0, 17-3). Trey Albertson and Brad Coombs each had a 3-pointer and Kade Harral had two in Snake River's early barrage.
Snake River led 14-7 after one quarter. The Eagles (2-4, 5-15) closed within 14-10 to open the second before the Panthers answered with a 9-0 run to take control.
As time wound down in the fourth quarter Blackfoot head coach Dan Hale put his hands on top of his head in frustration.
After battling through four tough quarters a couple of defensive lapses in the final two minutes of the game saw another game slip away as Blackfoot fell 61-54 to Idaho Falls Friday night.
After a layup by Taylor Pearson tied the game at 50-50 with 1:19 left in the game, Idaho Falls went on an 11-4 run to build a nine point lead the Blackfoot would never recover from.

Blizzard Signs Exclusive Broadcast Deal with GOM for South KoreaBlizzard may have just dealt the deathblow to the Korean eSports Players Association (KeSPA) and existing professional StarCraft leagues in South Korea. The company has signed an exclusive broadcast deal (via TeamLiquid.net) with Gretech-GomTV, which will be the only company licensed to broadcast leagues, tournaments, or gameplay for all Blizzard games.
With the recent agreement, the rights to operate and broadcast all Blizzard game leagues including Starcraft II belong to GomTV, and [all tournaments] must be run after negotiating with GomTV.
In consideration of the fans and players, the presently running Starcraft 1 leagues will be allowed to suspend negotiations [with GOM] until August of this year, or another solution will be found.
As such, OnGameNet and MBCGame, two other channels that broadcast such StarCraft 1 leagues, will be able to finish out the current seasons, but after August must negotiate a deal with GomTV to continue broadcasting. This comes after a long battle between Blizzard and KeSPA over IP rights and licensing. KeSPA, the ruling body of Korean StarCraft and other game tournmanets, did not pay to license Blizzard's IP, but claimed it was open to negotiating a deal. The two companies could not come to a mutual understanding and Blizzard chose to partner with GOM.
Blizzard has worked previously with GOM on several one-off StarCraft exhibitions and invitational tournaments, the third of which was effectively shut down by KeSPA when it threatened to penalize players and teams that participated in the Blizzard sanctioned event. The GomTV events established an international following by providing an English language stream featuring commentary from Nick "Tasteless" Plott.
KeSPA plans to hold a press conference on Monday to issue a response to this development. It will be interesting to see what happens to StarCraft 1 leagues in Korea as well as the uptake of StarCraft II in the professional scene.

Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals
In response to growing requests from countries for capacity building to support GHS implementation, UNITAR and ILO initiated in 2001 the "UNITAR/ILO Global GHS Capacity Building Programme". The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is a new internationally-agreed tool for chemical hazard communication, incorporating harmonized chemical hazard classification criteria and provisions for standardised labels and safety data sheets. Implementation of the GHS and sound chemical hazard communication requires initiatives, activities and capacities for three distinct actors: government, business and industry, and public interest and labour organisations. In addition, the provisions of the GHS affect chemical hazard communication in four key sectors at the national level; they include: industrial workplace, agriculture, transport, and consumer products.
Building upon existing initiatives of international organisations, countries and others, the UNITAR/ILO programme provides guidance documents, educational, awareness-raising, resource and training materials regarding the GHS. Relevant topics include development of national GHS implementation strategies, legislation, situation/gap analyses, chemical hazards, labelling, safety data sheets (SDSs), as well as related support measures such as comprehensibility testing. UNITAR and the ILO are the designated focal point for capacity building in the UN ECOSOC Subcommittee of Experts on the GHS (SCEGHS).
In 2008-2009, UNITAR is supporting national GHS implementation and capacity building projects in Vietnam, Jamaica, and Uruguay. In 2005-2007, UNITAR supported projects in Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Nigeria, Senegal, Slovenia, Thailand, The Gambia, and The Philippines. Meetings and workshops have also been supported in Malaysia, Singapore and for the ASEAN OSHNET. Regional activities are being carried out in ASEAN, SADC, ECOWAS, CEE, the Arab region, and other sub-regions subject to available resources. The projects are executed by UNITAR, in the context of the UNITAR/ILO Global GHS Capacity Building Programme, with funding from the Government of Switzerland, the European Union and other donors.
As of March 2007, UNITAR/ILO have received 83 country requests for national GHS capacity building, as well as 4 concrete requests for GHS capacity building at the regional level.
In order to take advantage of the time prior to the formal adoption of the GHS in 2003, UNITAR initiated a number of pilot activities at the country and regional levels, with support of the governments of The Netherlands and Switzerland. In addition, a number of services to support these activities have been developed. Some highlights include:
- pilot countries: Zambia, South Africa, Senegal, Sri Lanka (2001-03)
- regional awareness raising workshop for Mercosur and Andean Community countries of South America (2004)
- regional awareness raising workshop and implementation report for SADC region (2003)
- guidance materials for undertaking GHS-related situation analyses and national action plans
- GHS capacity building library online (and in CD ROM format)
- initiation of UNITAR/ILO/OECD WSSD Global Partnership for Capacity Building to Implement the GHS (September 2002)
- meetings of the Programme Advisory Group (PAG) to review programme documents, ensure complementarities with other chemical hazard communication initiatives and provide guidance regarding Programme implementation
- GHS Stocktaking Workshop for Central and Eastern European countries implementation (2012)
GHS capacity building activities organised by UNITAR/ILO are funded by extra-budgetary resources. Interested countries and organisations that may be in a position to support project activities at the regional or country level are requested to contact UNITAR.

There are several people who choose to use weight loss supplements to help them shed unwanted weight. One of the hottest weight loss aides in the market is Garcinia Cambogia extract. The Green Coffee Bean extract is also widely acclaimed as an effective weight loss product.
No doubt every person would wish to choose only the most effective and safe weight loss product. In choosing between these two, it would be important to rate them based on safety and efficacy in helping a subject reduce body weight.
Both these supplements work in two ways. The Dr Oz garcinia cambogia is known to be a good appetite suppressant. It helps you control the amount of calories that get into the body by elevating serotonin levels.
Usually, when the levels of this neurotransmitter are low, one impulse is to reach for food. This supplement also works by blocking the formation of fat from excess sugars in the body. Hydroxycitric Acid contained in the supplement is responsible for its weight loss advantages.
The Green Coffee Bean extract on the other hand spurs your metabolism rates. One of the main reasons why people become overweight is because their bodies cannot burn fat as fast as is necessary. The other means through which this supplement works is by inhibiting the formation of insulin which stimulates the production of fat from excess sugars in the body.
There have been clinical studies on both these supplements to determine their efficacy. The results showed that a person stands to lose more weight when he uses Garcinia Cambogia extract as compared to the Green Coffee Bean extract. Nonetheless, both supplements are said to be good at helping you lose weight even in the event that you do not wish to take part in an intense physical workout.
Safety concerns also are a great determinant of the product that a person will choose. With the coffee bean extract, one of the concerns is the caffeine it contains. However, it can be pointed out that the levels of caffeine in the extract are not significant enough to cause you any interference. When Garcinia Cambogia dosage is respected, there is really no reason to worry about negative side effects. Thus, it can be said that both of these products are effective and safe weight loss products.
Whereas price is an important element of choosing a weight loss supplement, there is not a very big disparity.
With regards to all these factors, many people therefore choose to use Garcinia Cambogia extract because it offers a much more rapid weight loss experience. However, the choice ought to be guided by the real reason why you are overweight.
If you have a problem of overeating, the green coffee bean extract may not help you as much as the Garcinia Cambogia will do. On the other hand, if you have tried dieting and it seems you still cannot lose weight, your problem might be a slow metabolism which the coffee bean extract will help regulate.
You must be thinking where to buy Garcinia Cambogia or Green Coffee Bean. If you ask me, it will be Garcinia Cambogia. Like you, I was also in doubt before buying Garcinia Cambogia and this site helped me a lot. I had few questions in my mind and I got the answer in that site. You can check it out yourself. On the other hand, if you want to try Green Coffee Bean, make sure you collect the necessary info or even seek your doctor's advice.

Offense Rallies to Win Second Preseason Jersey Scrimmage, 37-36
Aug 17, 2013
Scrimmage Recap | Photo Gallery
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Senior Kevin Muma hit a 46-yard field goal as time expired to give the offense a 37-36 comeback victory over the defense in the second jersey scrimmage of preseason camp on Saturday at Spartan Stadium. The scrimmage, which utilized a modified scoring system, was 173 plays long (including special teams) and lasted two hours and 30 minutes under sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-70s.
Freshman quarterback Damion Terry led the rally for the offense, compiling 280 yards of total offense against primarily the No. 1 defense. He was 10-of-14 passing for 240 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 40 yards on 12 carries.
Red-shirt freshman Tyler O'Connor threw two touchdown passes and completed 11-of-16 throws for 102 yards and one interception. Senior Andrew Maxwell was 9-of-19 passing for 77 yards, while sophomore Connor Cook was 4-of-9 for 67 yards, including one touchdown and one interception.
Overall, the Spartan quarterbacks completed 34-of-58 passes for 486 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions.
Junior running back Jeremy Langford led the ground game, accumulating 75 yards on 13 carries, including a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs. Freshman Gerald Holmes collected 41 yards on seven carries and fellow freshman Delton Williams had 37 yards on 10 attempts, including a 15-yard TD run.
Sophomore Andre Sims Jr. collected seven catches for 87 yards, including a 43-yard score from Terry. Senior Bennie Fowler and junior DeAnthony Arnett each had two touchdown catches for the offense. Fowler, who scored on a 7-yard pass from O'Connor and a 13-yard pass from Terry, finished with three catches for 44 yards. Arnett also had a 7-yard touchdown catch from O'Connor and a 15-yard score from Cook. Arnett totaled five catches for 64 yards.
Defensively, sophomore linebacker Darien Harris collected a scrimmage-high 11 tackles. Fellow sophomore linebacker Ed Davis produced four sacks (28 sacks) and nine tackles overall, while sophomore defensive end Joel Heath had eight tackles, including 2.5 for losses (9 yards) with one sack (6 yards). Sophomore safety RJ Williamson compiled eight tackles and had a 7-yard interception return, and sophomore cornerback Trae Waynes also picked off a pass.
In addition to the game-winning kick, Muma connected on 7-of-8 field goals, including seven straight, while freshman Michael Geiger was 5 of 6. Geiger's long was from 46 yards out and his only miss was blocked by Kurtis Drummond.
The defense dominated the first half of the scrimmage, forcing four three-and-outs while also collecting an interception by Williamson against O'Connor. Sophomore cornerback Arjen Colquhoun tipped the O'Connor pass and Williamson returned it 7 yards.
The offense finally threatened to score as Maxwell led a 6-play, 39-yard drive to the 16-yard line, but Mark Scarpinato recorded a sack on third down and Muma missed a 40-yard field goal on fourth down for his only miss of the day.
The Spartans worked on third-down situations and field goals during the middle portion of the scrimmage. The offense quickly took advantage of its field position, as O'Connor hit Fowler for a 7-yard touchdown on the first third-and-goal situation. On Cook's first series, he threw an interception in the end zone as Waynes picked off his pass. A few third downs later, O'Connor tossed his second score of the scrimmage on a 7-yard strike to Arnett. Cook bounced back from his interception with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Arnett and a 29-yard touchdown run on his next two series. Muma was 6-for-6 on field goals during this stretch, while Geiger was 5 for 6.
In the first series following the third-down situations, O'Connor directed an 8-play, 75-yard touchdown march. Langford was the featured running back on the drive, collecting 58 rushing yards on six carries, including a 36-yard burst that set up first-and-goal. Langford scored three plays later on a 1-yard run.
The defense shut down the offense on the next four series, however, as it delivered three three-and-outs with two sacks.
Down 33-6, the offense started its rally with a 43-yard touchdown pass from Terry to Sims, which completed a 7-play, 69-yard drive. Terry came right back in and led the offense on its second consecutive touchdown drive, an 8-play, 75-yard effort that was capped by a 13-yard TD strike to Fowler which cut the deficit to 33-20. Terry accumulated all 75 yards of total offense on the drive, including 3-of-5 passing for 56 yards and 19 rushing yards.
With the momentum now on its side, the offense took advantage, scoring touchdowns on its next two possessions. Delton Williams finished off an 11-play, 75-yard drive with a powerful 15-yard touchdown run. O'Connor led the drive and was 3-of-5 passing for 31 yards, while Holmes had 32 rushing yards, including his scrimmage long of 26 yards.
Terry then connected on a 38-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Burbridge to give the offense its fourth-straight touchdown.
On the next series, Cook led the offense to what appeared to be its fifth scoring drive in a row, but he fumbled a snap inside the defense's 15-yard line that was recovered by Denzel Drone.
The offense rebounded on its next series, as Langford and Terry combined for all 70 yards of offense on an 8-play scoring march that ended on a 1-yard TD run by Langford. The offense went for two to try and tie the score at 36, but Terry's pass to Tony Lippett was ruled incomplete in the corner of the end zone.
Maxwell guided the offense on the game-winning series. He completed a 10-yard pass to Sims for a first down at the 22-yard line, but an incompletion and a sack forced the Spartans back to the 28. With two seconds remaining, Muma hit his game-winning 46-yard kick, giving the offense a 37-36 victory.
The offense and the defense split the two preseason jersey scrimmages, as the defense prevailed in the first scrimmage last Saturday, 28-22.
Michigan State will return to practice Sunday afternoon for its 18th workout of preseason camp.

Mark Dantonio Post-Scrimmage Quotes:
"Damion Terry is a big, physical guy. He's sudden, and he can create. He's still a freshman and that's the thing that bothers you a little bit, but he can create. The name of the game - and I've said this over and over again - is you've got to create at quarterback. You've got to take a bad play and make it a good one because things are going to break down. That's just the way football is. (After today's scrimmage) it makes it (the quarterback race) even more interesting. Damion throws a nice ball, and guys went up and caught the ball. It's exciting to see (his development).
"Jeremy Langford had a good scrimmage and Delton Williams did some good things as well. Gerald Holmes busted off one (long run) too.
"DeAnthony Arnett and Bennie Fowler played the ball well down the field. Tony Lippett came up with a big catch (41-yard reception to set up the last touchdown). Especially in the second half when we started clicking a little bit, the offense made plays and that was great to see."

I was recently approached by Aramis to give my interpretation of "The Gentleman" in a campaign titled "The Gentleman presented by Aramis".
I was given carte blanche and given the creative freedom to come up with what I felt told the story. Let me simply say in a time where it's cool and trendy to be a gentleman the reality is the gentleman is nothing new, nothing special - he's simply a man who lives life with passion, respect and style. Being a gentleman is an every day thing.

The latest mass murder was not caused by a lack of morals on the part of the killer. It was because he was insane. There are many insane people freely walking our streets due to the leftist belief that it is unfair to lock them up as was done in the not-too-distant past. Most of the homeless are insane. The insane, and they usually are well known beforehand, need to be locked up again. For their safety and for everybody else's.

This watch from HotBlack puts the live score of your favorite team's latest match right on your wrist. And it's a pretty good looking timepiece to boot.
A scientist says he's created the world's first true atomic wristwatch, packing a chip-scale atomic clock into a wearable carbon fiber case. And yes, he's made watches before.
Why tell the time with simple numbers when you can do it with cryptic digital inkblots? This week's prize, a highly unusual watch from Tokyoflash, will have everyone looking at your wrist.
The Fossil Abacus Mobilewear Caller ID Wristwatch has a cool factor that is reminiscent of a James Bond movie, but that's not enough to win our accolades. Its large size and limited compatibility with cell phones makes this more of a novelty gadget than a must-have.
Pricing not available
Visiting Tokyoflash Japan, maker of puzzling wristwatches, was nothing like we expected. Crave gets some hands-on time with the company's first electronic-paper watch.
Some people still wear watches, and some of those watches are housed in 18-karat gold and can unlock Aston Martins. We continue our look at uber-opulent gear with a roundup of supershowy timepieces.
The South Korean electronics giant's next arm-wrestling match with Apple may be over smart wristwatches that act as smartphones.
The perfect whiz-watch for your inner 10-year-old.
Pricing not available
The Martian Passport Watch has style galore and a clever two-way wristwatch aesthetic, but it's ultimately more of a cool novelty than a must-have accessory.
The Californian company's next gadget could be a wrist-worn smart device, if new rumours are to be believed.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Reading everything so far especially the article brings me to struggle to hold back tears from rolling down my face... I wish I could have had the experience of being able to share with the mother of my children a special bond like the one you had in that mainly married or couples guild. In a very fast past world with access to internet everywhere, to be able to have a world in which you can bond and relate while the other is apart and together when possible to me is awesome. I think she (other woman) needs to not just leave the guild but go to another realm so she is not tempted again to whisper or vent and confide in officers that are already taken. I think that could be maybe a good rule to put in the game to try and stop tainting good game play.
This is something that has happened to me in real life and I have three kids and one child from another father that I always considered as my own. That poor child has been being used to excuse all kinds of chaos between us. I never blamed him though, but unfortunately I have said some things due to his mothers encouragement to not respect me as the father of the house and give him special or different rules and obligations to respect, listen and obey my rules and guidelines. As a result I have betrayed my own integrity and lowered my standards to the ones I had been feeling like I had been mocked with for many years. None of which of what I have said gives me any excuse to turn rogue type idealism of eye for an eye an tooth for a tooth type mentality to him or her. Some of the things I have said and done however can never be taken back and have found myself at a loss for finding way's to apologise for despite my view of being the only one that ever needs to repent. I believe that in rare occasions such as this, you can not just go directly right back and say your sorry for something that has started to be a repeated mistake. You have to give them time and space and pray you get the chance to apologise at a time when they have been able to heal enough and think about what happened to even have the ability to believe that you are sincere. Words and excuses start losing any meaning to their validity the more you justify ones actions with the same reaction or response.
With the mother of my children and love of my life... I do no think at this point that it can be repaired. Whether this is due to mistakes that I have made in the past or mistakes that she has made have no validity to my view of this belief and reality of judgement at this point. More of double standards and the repeated scene of her saying I never want to talk and work things out, turning into a one way conversation of me just not having the ability to shut the !@#$ up and let them vent their feelings with no regards to the facts belief all true or me being able to vent my side and to me that is not a conversation that is a degradation defamation of my character or even validity to what they are saying is how I feel about the situation. As for counseling she always agrees but never does anything to show any attempt to due anything but pacify me with words that have been overthrown by a sick opposite of actions being revealed in the end.
My kids and I have been shown too much neglect and have been ignored far too long for me to have that kind of faith any more. I am federally disabled and have taken on the responsibility to protect and love the two children (6 months and 2 years old) I have been left with. I still struggle with my ability to ignore and not become a mocking bird of the partial lies that are I am being accused of. With my Father who art in Heave, I will survive however. My sadness has become so severe that I lack the ability to show any sadness or remorse or reaction to the situation any more.
I had just been recruited into my first guild on the toon I first started with lately since she stoped coming home this last month and have been kinda surprised by the uplifting of my spirits without the drama mama soap opera even coming into conversations in order to achieve this somewhat bliss. Oh yeah, one more thing. She tried to say that I spent too much time on the computer and other things. So I tried stoping my art or computer actions or whatever I would be doing to see if this was true. To my disappointment, the result was the same. She would have her say, not let me respond, start yelling and accusing me for never listening or having any consideration to her feelings, then out the door. Hours started to turn into days and now she is getting her own place and she says it is none of my business where or what she does. Even though, I thought that if we were to be good parents, should both have, if not for us, for the children that she hardly cares to see. She can put the blame on me though even though it is not all my fault you see.
In other news I changed computers to a different operating system called ubuntu and now I can not load the cd-rom in order for me to play... If anyone knows how to help with that maybe fixable issue please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com or find me under facebook with the same address. Thank you all. It would surprise the hell out of me if anyone reads this all the way through... I just keep praying on getting the recources to be able to provide for my children and go back to college.
