Yelp offers up doublespeak about Google
In its filing for an initial public stock offering on Thursday, Yelp filled up its "risk factors" section with Google-related words of caution.
Most of the warnings pertain to how much Yelp relies on Google for its business.
"Google in particular is the most significant source of traffic to our website," Yelp said. "If our website fails to rank prominently in unpaid search results, traffic to our website could decline."
Got it. So Yelp relies on Google. Okay.
But later in that paragraph…
"Google has removed links to our website from portions of its web search product, and has promoted its own competing products, including Google's local products, in its search results."
Yikes! Why would Google do that? That can't be good news for Yelp.
Oh, wait, Yelp asked Google to do that.
Later in the filing…
"In parts of 2010 and 2011, Google incorporated content from our website into its own local product without our permission. While we do not believe that Google is still incorporating our content within its local products, we have no assurance that Google or other companies will not copy, publish or aggregate content from our platform in the future."
We get it, Yelp. Google is good for business and bad for business. It's the devil you've got to deal with in the Internet game. But stop pretending that the only risks to your business are Google's own doing. -David

I'm not sure this is as simple as you say. The reading comprehension level of most WoW players seems to be pretty low, judging by all the people who seem unable to read or understand quest text, so this may be quite the challenge. Not to mention that the excerpt is more than two sentences long, placing it firmly in TLDR territory.

I still don't see the justification for anyone calling for the firing of the Lumpkin County history teacher who allowed her students to dress in Klan robes for a class dramatization of racism in America. I understand how the sight of the costumed and hooded students would upset a classmate, but once the project was explained, I would think that the concerns would be allayed.
The question here is intent. It seems clear that the teacher, who is well respected and liked, was trying to bring history to life for her students. (Several have posted on an earlier blog on this issue and defended their teacher and their class.) There are valid questions about whether she went too far in her effort to invigorate the history lesson.
Was it wrong to walk the kids through the school in their KKK attire? Yes, it was since other students had no warning and weren't expecting to look up from their pizza in the cafeteria and see four Klansmen. But again, once the situation was explained, I am

25 Books Every Child Should Read
Looking for a book to suggest to your child next time you're at the library or shopping the iBooks store? This list was compiled by Britain's leading children's authors and The Independent's book experts. These books will spark your child's curiosity, imagination and love of reading.
Philip Pullma, author:
1. "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll."Indispensable. The great classic beginning of English children's literature.
2. "Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi.
What effortless invention looks like.
3. "Emil and the Detectives" by Erich Kastner.
A great political story: democracy in action.
4. "Swallows and Amazons" by Arthur Ransome.
As clear and pure as Mozart.
5. "Black Hearts" in Battersea by Joan Aiken.
If Ransome was Mozart, Aiken was Rossini. Unforced effervescence.
6. "The Owl Service" by Alan Garner.
Showed how children's literature could sound dark and troubling chords.
7. "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster.
Superb wit and vigorous invention.
8. "Moominsummer Madness" by Tove Jansson.
Any of the Moomin books would supply the same strange light Nordic magic.
9. "A Hundred Million Francs" by Paul Berna.
A particular favorite of mine, as much for Richard Kennedy's delicate illustrations (in the English edition) as for the story.
10. "The Castafiore Emerald" by Hergé.
Three generations of this family have loved Tintin. Perfect timing, perfect narrative tact and command, blissfully funny.
Michael Morpurgo, Author:
11. "The Star of Kazan" by Eva Ibbotson.
The heroine is blessed with such wonderful friends who help her through the twists and turns of this incredible journey.
12. "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens.
The first few pages were so engaging, Marley's ghostly face on the knocker of Scrooge's door still gives me the shivers.
13. "Just William" books by Richmal Crompton.
These are a must for every child.
14. "The Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde.
This was the first story, I think, that ever made me cry, and it still has the power to make me cry.
15. "The Elephant's Child from the Just So Stories" by Rudyard Kipling.
The story my mother used to read me most often, because I asked for it again and again. I loved the sheer fun of it, the music and the rhythm of the words. It was subversive too. Still my favorite story.
16. "Treasure Island" by R.L. Stevenson
This was the first real book I read for myself. I lived this book as I read it.
17. "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway.
A classic tale of man versus nature. I wish I'd written this.
18. "The Man Who Planted Trees" by Jean Giono.
A book for children from 8 to 80. I love the humanity of this story and how one man's efforts can change the future for so many.
19. "The Singing Tree" by Kate Seredy
The story of two children who go to find their father who has been listed missing in the trenches of World War I.
20. "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson-Burnett.
I love this story of a girl's life being changed by nature.
Katy Guest, literary editor for The Independent on Sunday:
21. "Refugee Boy" by Benjamin Zephaniah.
Story of a young Ethiopian boy, whose parents abandon him in London to save his life.
22. "Finn Family Moomintroll" (and the other Moomin books) by Tove Jansson.
A fantasy series for small children that introduces bigger ones to ideas of adventure, dealing with fear, understanding character and tolerating difference.
23. "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" by Jeff Kinney.
It's rude, it's funny and it will chime with every 11-year-old who's ever started a new school.
24. "Capture the Castle" by Dodie Smith.
Written for a teenage audience, but fun at any age.
25. "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" by JRR Tolkein.
Be warned, these tales of hobbits, elves and Middle Earth are dangerously addictive.

Fashion persons Must-have Accessory-Seasonal Purses
At every season's turn Louis Vuitton Damier Alma, presently there will appear a great craze for seasonal bags. The tips beneath shall be necessary for you personally to secure a elegant seasonal purse.
Firstly, the style and design differ from season to season. In summer a large bag to carry all of your beach gear
can become your favorite belongings. In the fall, you might want
a thing which includes a strap to sling over shoulders for a short go away. As in winter a good number of individuals
commonly desire to go to gatherings, marvelous clutches are must-have purses for ladies. However, in spring, just about any the style or
design, it'll be suitable.
The next factor is about selecting out great fabric. Natural cotton, canvas, or vinyl are
fairly classic for summertime bags. They're extremely long lasting. As in spring, light-weight and long-wearing textile is the most beneficial choice. It is snug to
hold in light days.
Thirdly, it's critical
to secure a awesome design. Around every season, solid colours are always accepted. Patterns become more season-specific. Winter is a nice time to get a handbag which has a beautiful forest scene or a snow-covered town.
Natural and geometric designs are also very well liked in winter. In fall, intricate, tapestry or leaf patterns are
preferred. Lovely flowers and modern day designs are nice for spring time whereas tropical
flowers and abstract designs can insert fun to summertime purses.
The last important point is color. Every season has its particular and fascinating colors. In winter, darkish
colors are beneficial. White purses with darkish trim also are particularly glorious. To add, deep jewel colours are great options in winter. You can easily select purple,
ruby or emerald bags to get the spotlight. Having said that, in spring, it is recommended to opt for light colours to be stimulating. In summer, sunshine yellow, robin's egg blue or incredibly hot pink are fascinating colors. Orange handbags are amazing for autumn excursions. I0P0409u

The 1993 comedy starring Robin Williams as a desperate dad was her first film role
Fox 2000 is planning a sequel to 1993 hit Robin Williams comedy "Mrs. Doubtfire," but former child star Mara Wilson has "no interest" in reprising her role as Williams' youngest daughter, Natalie Hillard.
"I've been in some mediocre movies, but I've never been in a sequel. And I have no interest in being in one now," Wilson wrote on Twitter. "Sequels generally suck unless they were planned as part of a trilogy or series. I think 'Doubtfire' ended where it needed to end."
See video: Mila Kunis Gives Robin Williams 90 Minutes to Live in 'Angriest Man in Brooklyn' Trailer
Wilson — also famous for leading roles in "Matilda" and "Miracle on 34th Street" — left acting behind over a decade ago, and wrote a blog post in 2012 explaining why, so her quick rejection of even just the possibility of being asked to return is not surprising.
"There are many, many reasons I don't want to be in 'Mrs. Doubtfire 2.' But they haven't even asked me (yet), so no need to worry," Wilson added. "I'm glad I had the chance to be in it, and I'm proud of what we did, but I don't see how we could do it again."
See photos: 11 Movies We Wish Were April Fools' Day Jokes
The original film starred Williams as a recently divorced father who decides to dress up like a Scottish nanny in order to spend more time with his kids, also played by Matthew Lawrence and Lisa Jakub. Lawrence appears to be the only Hillard still acting. Sally Field co-starred as the mom, and Pierce Brosnan played her new boyfriend.
Williams, who has declined to be involved in the project in the past, is on board to bring the beloved babysitter back to life. Chris Columbus will return to direct from a script by "Elf" writer David Berenbaum.

Brandon Jacobs' complaints have been finally heard, but they haven't born the kind of results the San Francisco 49ers running back was expecting. Instead of getting more playing time, Brandon Jacobs' season will be coming to an early end after the San Francisco 49ers suspended their disgruntled player for three games.
Although the San Francisco 49ers didn't immediately release their grounds for suspending Brandon Jacobs, its most likely he was disciplined for a couple of recent public rants critical of the organization.
The 30-year-old Brandon Jacobs had been asking to be suspended after proactively venting out his frustration over lack of playing time in a series of posts on social media over the last month. During the weekend Brandon Jacobs engaged in another spat with a San Francisco 49ers fan who believed the eight-year veteran's recently posted Instagram pictures from his time with the New York Giants were disrespectful to his current team.
"I am on this team rotting away so why would I wanna put any pics up of anything that say niners," Brandon Jacobs responded to the fan. "This is by far the worst year I ever had, I'll tell you like I told plenty others."
Brandon Jacobs signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers in March, after being released by the New York Giants where he played seven seasons.
He has been griping about the limited playtime last month with reference to a never working ''in a place where you hate your boss so much, you should always be happy at work'' twitter post, followed by a series of other related content. However, later Brandon Jacobs stated that people shouldn't "assume" he was referencing to his job or the San Francisco 49ers; and further down the road acknowledged that the tweets were referred to his brother's unjust boss.
Although Brandon Jacobs is the fourth-leading rusher in franchise history (with 4,849 yards) and posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with the New York Giants during his 2007 and 2008 campaigns, the 2-time Pro Bowl champion saw his role diminish followed by a decline in production over the last four seasons. Last season, Brandon Jacobs has 571 rushing yards and seven touchdowns as a backup to Ahmad Bradshaw, who had been steadily rising at the New York Giants' starting running back spots
However, Brandon Jacobs had to know he won't receive much playing time in a crowded San Francisco 49ers' backfield that already featured three-time Pro Bowler and one of the top franchise players Frank Gore. Since signing with the San Francisco 49ers, Brandon Jacobs has fit-in more like a fourth-string running back role, playing only two games with 5 carries for 7 yards.
After being suspended for the last three games of regular season, at the earliest Brandon Jacobs could return if the NFC West leading San Francisco 49ers (9-3-1) reach the playoffs. However, seeing how the San Francisco 49ers have used him so sparingly throughout the season, its unlikely that he'd be activated for a high-contention game.
49ers suspend Brandon Jacobs for entire season

It was the final day of the Parliamentary calendar this year. It could have been full of Christmas bonhomie but instead it hit rock bottom. It was nasty, personal and bitter with the two leaders tearing at each other like backyard fighting dogs.
No one was surprised. The close numbers in the Parliament have dictated that each leader has considered themselves alternatively one or two seats away from victory or oblivion.
The history books record it was like this in the later years of the Whitlam Government, when close numbers pushed leaders to go for the jugular.
Perhaps only the oratory was better ...

YOU GUYS. If I may toot my own horn, the audio I got of last night's concert is mighty fine. Yes, of course, there's crowd noise. But the songs come through nice and clear, and there's no blaring moments of speaker overload. Considering I was just using VoiceMemo on my iPhone, not professional equipment with a direct connection to the soundboard, I'm pretty darn proud of it.

Please note: this is the entirety of Darren's set, including all of the talking between songs. If you're looking for the songs, only, you'll have to look elsewhere or edit down the tracks yourself.
No album artwork yet, but I will keep my eye on the delightful glee-covers and will probably update the files when some art becomes available.

Slick Rick in most conditions - one option for all temps makes things easy on your pow-fried brain. So if you don't get OCD about matching snow temps to the bottom of your snow slider, this is a good all-around option (definitely less effective in the spring corn - don't be a cheap ass and get some warm-temp). Also, gives off a very pleasant vanilla scent, which is good if you're trying to set the mood in that dungeon ski basement of yours.

Reinforcing its status as a perennial party town, Las Vegas welcomes 300,000 revelers to ring in the New Year. Hotels, clubs and bars take it to the limit with special shows, but many lock their doors around the midnight hours, so you'll need to decide whether you want to be in or out. We recommend out, since the four-mile-long Strip becomes a vehicle-free promenade (starting at 6 p.m.) where you can drink, mingle and watch fireworks shot off from surrounding rooftops. For a rockin' good time, hit up The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel where the theme this year is Empire Records — spinning iconic 90s bands like Nirvana and No Doubt, as well as pop and R&B hits from Mariah, Britney and more. For something a tad mellower, enjoy the music of The Beatles with Cirque du Soleil's New Year's Eve performance of LOVE at The Mirage — what better way to celebrate the hard day's night that is New Year's Eve in Las Vegas?

We have been arranging group nights for our members and visitors to attend to work in an environment with like minded people. These are not classes, they are nights where people working on things like micro-controllers and software development can work together and troubleshoot any issues they may have. This is also a good environment to be in if you are learning or studying in the area of the theme of the night. The following is a list of ones that have been currently set up:
- Electronics and Micro Controller Night: Every second Monday From 7pm – We mainly deal with Arduino's as they seem to be very popular within the hackerspaces community. [6th August, 20th August, etc]
- Craft Night: Every second Tuesday from 7pm – Over-heard at Craft Night: "One time she didn't want to come because she'd forgotten her stuff. Like Craft Night is only about crafting!" Everyone brings whatever they want to work on, and we hang out. Check out some projects in our gallery, or join the Craft mailing list to stay informed about crafty events. [7th August, 21st August, etc]
- Lock-picking Night: Every other/second Tuesday from 7pm – Bring your picks, locks, and have some fun! Check out some videos in our vimeo group. [14th August, 28th August, etc]
- Coder Night: Every other/second Thursday from 7pm – The night for software and coding. Come along, join a project, start a project, or work on your own. [7th November, 21st November, etc]
If you would like to suggest a group night please contact us. Some nights may be monthly, bi-weekly or weekly. Best thing to do is to throw an email out on the mailing list and gauge interest within the community.
If you would like to attend a group night and you are not yet a member, please contact us and let us know, as sometimes group nights do not run due to weather or other things going on.

The Good Idea, Horrible Investment Paradox
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - December 3, 2012 | Tickers: DDD, AMRS, FSLR, JCI, SSYS
One sobering reality of investing is that not every company with the potential to change the world is a great investment. All good investors realize this at some point, some through costly mistakes of their own (my hand is raised). Initially, it is difficult to rationalize how this can possibly be true. A company that makes it to the public market has surely survived the "big" problems in product development more »
Special Dividends Can Be Especially Destructive
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - December 3, 2012 | Tickers: COST, DDS, LVS, WMT, WLK |
The Bush Tax Cuts, which began in 2003, are due to expire at the end of 2012. It's not really as apocalyptic as the mainstream media makes it sound; several taxes are simply returning to pre-2003 levels (Reminder: investors with sound strategies still made money before 2003). That hasn't given pause to the 173 companies that are offering special dividends to shareholders (up 137% from 4Q11). You have more »
The Future Contains Lots of Pulp
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 29, 2012 | Tickers: UFS, ECL, IBM, IP, LMT |
"Ben, just one word. Are you listening? Plastics."
-Mr. McGuire in The Graduate (1967)
The infamous movie quote came after Ben was asked what he planned to do with his future. He wasn't very upbeat about the lack of direction in his life, but you should have a much clearer investment strategy. And it should probably include the next game-changing, world-transforming material: nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC).
Yes, NCC should more »
What the Bioeconomy Means for Investors
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 27, 2012 | Tickers: AMRS, CERE, LIFE, MON, MYGN, SZYM |
On April 1, the White House released the National Bioeconomy Blueprint (opens PDF) that outlined the importance of transitioning health/life science, chemical production, agriculture, and other industries into the 21st century. Yes, it was April Fool's Day. No, the White House wasn't joking.
Despite being lost in the midst of an election year the message was clear: an American bioeconomy can transform the world. The report more »
When Scaling up Brings You Down
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 26, 2012 | Tickers: AMRS, CDXS, GEVO, KIOR, SZYM
Despite sky-high hype before their IPOs and the honeymoon periods shortly thereafter, nearly all sustainable chemical producers trading on the public market are deep in the red today. The capital intensive and headache-filled task of scaling up has been met by Mr. Market's valuation catapult with a one-way ticket back to reality. Investors who fell to the Siren Song of these greentech IPOs are now (wrongly) questioning the viability more »
Can Raytheon Turn Iron Into Gold?
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 26, 2012 | Tickers: LMT, RTN |
You may not realize it from the storybook views of the profession, but the fabled alchemists of history gave rise to modern-day chemistry and the scientific model we still use today. Sure, the millions of attempts at creating the Philospher's Stone – which was believed to have the power to turn base metals into gold and silver – came up empty-handed. But perhaps we were looking in the wrong place all more »
The Number That Should Really Worry You About 3D Systems
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 18, 2012 | Tickers: DDD, SSYS
I have played the role of devil's advocate for valuations in the sustainable chemicals industry numerous times in my first year with The Motley Fool Blogging Network. It is impossible to come up with a concrete future value – much less a discounted cash flow (DCF) – for companies such as Solazyme or Amyris, which are still hammering out their production capacity. As a basic investment rule, I like to take more »
Pinned on Paradise
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 18, 2012 | Tickers: AMRS, SNY, SZYM, TOT
Once upon a time Amyris (NASDAQ: AMRS) was the darling of the sustainable chemicals industry. It was championed by legendary VCs Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Vinod Khosla, who individually suggested they transition from malaria wonder-drug artemisinin to impurity-free, drop-in diesel fuel. That suggestion catapulted the company into the center of the biofuels conversation just a few short years ago and created a vision that, through investor's eyes, remains more »
Take a SWOT at Mercury Systems
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 18, 2012 | Tickers: KTOS, MRCY
It is easy to get overwhelmed when researching a potential investment. What is the noise? What really matters to the long term prospects of an investment? Remember, when you buy shares in a company you own a piece of that company – not just a three to five-letter ticker on the other end of your login page. A great way to organize your research is to perform a SWOT analysis. Today more »

UAN-a Grow Your Portfolio?
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 13, 2012 | Tickers: AGU, CF, CVI, UAN, TNH
The world population is expected to rise to 7.5 billion by 2020. The United Nations predicts those extra 500 million mouths – plus larger appetites in emerging markets – will increase food prices up to 40%. While that figure may be disputed, one thing is certain: the world's farms will need to plant and harvest increasing numbers of crops to keep pace. The industry that has the most to gain more »
The Best Place to Waste Your Energy
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 13, 2012 | Tickers: CPN, CVA, NRG, WM
Traditional sources of energy – coal, natural gas, nuclear – are always in the headlines. They have ample government policies and regulatory frameworks that govern their use and guide investment. The market of energy-from-waste (EfW) does not have the same amount of fanfare or oversight, but don't throw the industry into your waste bin of investing ideas just yet. EfW technologies have one important thing in common with those of traditional more »
It's the Efficiency, Stupid
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 13, 2012 | Tickers: ANR, ACI, GEN, NRG |
I find it a bit comical that an election that virtually neglected energy – in the debates, on the campaign trail, at the voting booths – is now being blamed for a "War on Coal." Privately-held Murray Energy, citing the Electoral College's final tally, has thrown a public temper tantrum by firing 163 workers. Murray isn't alone. In the last year the entire coal industry has been shaken up by more »

Solazyme: A Lesson in Patience
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 6, 2012 | Tickers: AMRS, BG, CVX, KIOR, SZYM
I have given the investment community targeted warnings about Solazyme's (NASDAQ: SZYM) valuation in February ($14.34 per share), March ($15.13 per share), May ($9.71 per share), and August ($13.50 per share). Despite these words of caution I have been constantly drowned out in a sea of overconfidence and opinions that shift to fit the situation at the moment. Now I know how Kyle Metivier feels more »
The Only CAFE That Makes You Lose Weight
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 6, 2012 | Tickers: AA, F, GM, MGA, ZOLT |
In late August the White House and EPA announced that new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards had been finalized. The new laws will bind automakers to flaunt fleets with an average fuel economy of 54.5 mpg by 2025. The average for 2011 model years was just 28.6 mpg. In English: this will be no easy (or inexpensive) feat.

Attack of the Bakken Strippers
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - November 6, 2012 | Tickers: HES, MRO, STO
Dirty, low-output strippers. Oil companies racing to pump dinosaur sauce out of shale reserves are spending millions (that's a lot of singles!) to defeat them. The inevitable fate of oil wells is easy to overlook in the early stages of a domestic oil production renaissance, but all investors should familiarize themselves with strippers. According to Art Berman, a geologist and industry consultant, shale oil well production declines at an more »
Repeat After Me: My Genes are Patentable and That's Alright
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - September 12, 2012 | Tickers: BMY, INCY, MYGN, PFE
The recent Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics patent dispute involving two genes for breast and ovarian cancer, BRCA 1 and BRCA 2, has been widely followed by the media over the last several years. According to some the case highlights a potentially devastating future where humans have no control over their very own genetic code. Even worse, they say, patenting sequences of human DNA limits academic research and more »
The Fallacy of Energy Independence
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - August 29, 2012 | Tickers: FSLR, HES, MRO, STO
It's election time again in the United States, which means politicians from both sides of the aisle are strengthening their arguments about important issues (those deemed important by the media, anyway). Undoubtedly, when politicians can find time in their busy mudslinging-filled schedules they find a camera and talk about "energy independence." These sound bites yield variations of the following phrases:
- "We need to lessen our dependence on foreign oil more »
Why Renewable Energy Group is a Buy
By Maxxwell A.R. Chatsko - August 29, 2012 | Tickers: ADM, FF, REGI, WFM
It is no secret that the fuel industry goes hand-in-hand with low margins, but that doesn't mean investing opportunities don't exist. After all, low margins never stopped anyone from investing in supermarket companies such as Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFM) with its whopping 3.85% profit margin over the last year.
Now what if those low margins were coupled with an industry that was reliant on a combination more »

Solving the Pakistan problem: Weaken or eliminate the country?
Yesterday, the New York Times reported that, lately, a proposed new map of the South Asia region "has been making the rounds among Pakistani elites." This map shows Pakistan "reduced to an elongated sliver of land with the big bulk of India to the east, and an enlarged Afghanistan to the west." Apparently, the map […] [Read More]
Europe looks ahead to President Obama's agenda
Last week's balloting, which determined who the next president of the United States will be, was widely described as a "global election," referring to the fact that, even though millions of people in many countries beyond the U.S. could not vote in the contest, they were deeply concerned about its outcome and on how the […] [Read More]
Will Obama nurture the Britain-U.S. "special relationship"?
The George Bush-Tony Blair, joined-at-the-hip partnership remains an indelible souvenir of the period leading up to the outbreak, in early 2003, of the U.S.-led war in Iraq and of the way it played out through the end of Blair's tenure as Britain's prime minister (which ended in June 2007). The Bush-Blair war-buddies show also served […] [Read More]
North Korea: From terror supporter to Washington's new best friend
The Bush gang likes to talk tough about its supposed commitment to the so-called war on terror, but when it comes to earning its favor, sometimes, apparently, it actually pays to have been involved in terrorist activities.

Bush's big flip-flop: Okay, Iran. Now we're talking!
In diplomatic parlance, it's called "engaging" your adversary. In plain terms, in this instance, it's also called the mother of all policy flip-flops (or what used to be uneuphemistically referred to for what it unabashedly is: a profoundly hypocritical U-turn about which even some staunch supporters of George W. Bush are fuming). The big, foreign-policy […] [Read More]
U.S. missiles for Eastern Europe: Russia's angry, and Iran is rumbling
That treaty that U.S. Secretary of State and Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg signed in Prague yesterday calls for the building of an American-military radar base in the Czech Republic, a facility the Bush administration claims would be part of an "anti-missile shield in Europe [that] would protect the [United States] and a large part […] [Read More]

Looks like Reggie McKenzie will have to work his draft magic to find a replacement for Kamerion Wimbley. Manny Lawson, a man that was on Oakland's free agency radar in recent days, has apparently chosen to stay put in Cincinnati.
In all honesty the Raiders had very little chance of inking Lawson or any other free agents at the moment. McKenzie has openly admitted that the team has less than $4-million in cap space, much of which will go towards signing the draft class and making a few positional additions to the roster.
There were no secrets about what it was going to take to get the Raiders back into financial shape. Unfortunately in professional sports the business aspects can and do have a direct effect on the product placed on the field. It might be a year or two until McKenzie has a team capable of competing at the highest level.
That's not to say that missing out on Lawson is the end of the world for the silver and black. For all we know there could be a better option to be found in the draft. However there isn't much more to hope for at this point other than finding hidden gems in the draft.
In Reggie McKenzie we trust.
