Sales of new single-family homes in the U.S. easily set a record for the May-June period, the Commerce Department reported. Fueled by strong population and household growth, improving economic conditions, a favorable financing climate, and the continued solid investment potential of new homes, sales of new single-family homes hit a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.326 million units in June. This rate was marginally below the record 1.337-million unit pace set in May and stood 11.1 percent above sales in June 2003.
"Buyer demand for new homes remains quite strong as job growth proceeds and consumer confidence builds," said Bobby Rayburn, president of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home and apartment builder from Jackson, MS, U.S. "NAHB's Housing Market Index, based on our monthly surveys of single-family builders, indicates that the perception of an improving economy is helping drive the market."
NAHB Chief Economist David Seiders added: "The fundamentals behind housing demand are very positive, and it's also likely that home buying in May and June was spurred by expectations of rising interest rates later this year. Ironically, mortgage interest rates are now below the May-June levels, slipping to about 6 percent in recent weeks. While home buying may fade later this year, it now appears that home sales for 2004 will easily surpass the record set last year."
Three U.S. regions registered sales decreases for the month. The Northeast posted a 14.2-percent decline from May. The Midwest dipped 2.9 percent, and sales in the West declined 13.1 percent. The South posted a 9.6-percent increase for the month. All four regions, however, posted second-quarter averages that exceeded the performances in the first quarter of the year.
The inventory of new homes for sale in June was 374,000 units, representing a 3.4-month supply at the current sales pace. "The inventory situation improved during May and June as sales surged, and the supply-demand balance in the new-home market was very, very healthy at mid-year," Mr. Seiders said. "That bodes well for both housing production and home prices in the months ahead."

On and off media reports appear saying the so-called revolution in Iceland is an example of successful fight against the world financial oligarchy. In concrete terms it is all about the debts that Iceland owes to deposit account holders... It's difficult to say goodbye to illusions. Iceland is just another example of the way world bankers manage to guide the energy of public protest into the direction they desire. It's even hard to imagine what the West would do if the people of Iceland really decided to stand up and oppose the interests of Financial International. In reality there are many examples of genuine precedents of such actions taking place in the contemporary world when the all-powerful financial oligarchy is really confronted.

Sweden has come out with a proposal to build a joint Nordic Battalion Force (NBF) to make it part of the agenda for Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark... The force advocated by Sweden would operate as a separate force to the European Union's Swedish-led Nordic Battle Group (NBG), made up of troops and equipment from Finland, Norway, Ireland, Estonia and Latvia. Unlike the NBF, which would be Nordic-specific, the larger NBG is assigned to the EU's standby international mission forces. But taking into consideration the fact that the major EU parties are also NATO members, it easy to guess the both formations will inevitably add to NATO's capabilities too…

Exclusive: The methane time bomb
Arctic scientists discover new global warming threat as melting permafrost releases millions of tons of a gas 20 times more damaging than carbon dioxide
Tuesday 23 September 2008
The first evidence that millions of tons of a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere from beneath the Arctic seabed has been discovered by scientists.
The Independent has been passed details of preliminary findings suggesting that massive deposits of sub-sea methane are bubbling to the surface as the Arctic region becomes warmer and its ice retreats.
Underground stores of methane are important because scientists believe their sudden release has in the past been responsible for rapid increases in global temperatures, dramatic changes to the climate, and even the mass extinction of species. Scientists aboard a research ship that has sailed the entire length of Russia's northern coast have discovered intense concentrations of methane – sometimes at up to 100 times background levels – over several areas covering thousands of square miles of the Siberian continental shelf.
In the past few days, the researchers have seen areas of sea foaming with gas bubbling up through "methane chimneys" rising from the sea floor. They believe that the sub-sea layer of permafrost, which has acted like a "lid" to prevent the gas from escaping, has melted away to allow methane to rise from underground deposits formed before the last ice age.
They have warned that this is likely to be linked with the rapid warming that the region has experienced in recent years.
Methane is about 20 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide and many scientists fear that its release could accelerate global warming in a giant positive feedback where more atmospheric methane causes higher temperatures, leading to further permafrost melting and the release of yet more methane.
The amount of methane stored beneath the Arctic is calculated to be greater than the total amount of carbon locked up in global coal reserves so there is intense interest in the stability of these deposits as the region warms at a faster rate than other places on earth.
Orjan Gustafsson of Stockholm University in Sweden, one of the leaders of the expedition, described the scale of the methane emissions in an email exchange sent from the Russian research ship Jacob Smirnitskyi.
"We had a hectic finishing of the sampling programme yesterday and this past night," said Dr Gustafsson. "An extensive area of intense methane release was found. At earlier sites we had found elevated levels of dissolved methane. Yesterday, for the first time, we documented a field where the release was so intense that the methane did not have time to dissolve into the seawater but was rising as methane bubbles to the sea surface. These 'methane chimneys' were documented on echo sounder and with seismic [instruments]."
At some locations, methane concentrations reached 100 times background levels. These anomalies have been seen in the East Siberian Sea and the Laptev Sea, covering several tens of thousands of square kilometres, amounting to millions of tons of methane, said Dr Gustafsson. "This may be of the same magnitude as presently estimated from the global ocean," he said. "Nobody knows how many more such areas exist on the extensive East Siberian continental shelves.
"The conventional thought has been that the permafrost 'lid' on the sub-sea sediments on the Siberian shelf should cap and hold the massive reservoirs of shallow methane deposits in place. The growing evidence for release of methane in this inaccessible region may suggest that the permafrost lid is starting to get perforated and thus leak methane... The permafrost now has small holes. We have found elevated levels of methane above the water surface and even more in the water just below. It is obvious that the source is the seabed."
The preliminary findings of the International Siberian Shelf Study 2008, being prepared for publication by the American Geophysical Union, are being overseen by Igor Semiletov of the Far-Eastern branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Since 1994, he has led about 10 expeditions in the Laptev Sea but during the 1990s he did not detect any elevated levels of methane. However, since 2003 he reported a rising number of methane "hotspots", which have now been confirmed using more sensitive instruments on board the Jacob Smirnitskyi.
Dr Semiletov has suggested several possible reasons why methane is now being released from the Arctic, including the rising volume of relatively warmer water being discharged from Siberia's rivers due to the melting of the permafrost on the land.
The Arctic region as a whole has seen a 4C rise in average temperatures over recent decades and a dramatic decline in the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by summer sea ice. Many scientists fear that the loss of sea ice could accelerate the warming trend because open ocean soaks up more heat from the sun than the reflective surface of an ice-covered sea.

The music of Black Power turned out to be just as revolutionary as the politics. Just as activists conceived of a society that placed fewer limitations on and granted more liberties to African-Americans, contemporary artists associated with the movement worked toward stylistic freedom unconstrained by genre boundaries. And just as there were various permutations of the Black Power message (from militant nationalism to peaceful dissent), there was no one sound, much less one hit, that defined the cause. Instead, the movement espoused not only in jazz and R&B, but also in rock, funk, folk, proto-rap, even stand-up comedy. Perhaps the most powerful aspect of Listen, Whitey! The Sound of Black Power 1967-1974-- the album and the book, both representing many years' research by historian Pat Thomas-- is how they portray a music in flux: Artists such as the Watts Prophets, the Original Last Poets, Shahid Quintet, and Marlena Shaw were only just realizing the potential for cross-genre synthesis and for radical political statement through music.
The rhetoric is not buried deeply in the music; in fact, these works wear their politics on the surface. Backed by saxophonist Eddie Harris, singer Gene McDaniels fashions a hook out of "silent majority," the term famously used by Nixon to describe the millions of American who tacitly disagreed with left-wing protestors and who wanted no part of any revolution. What could have been awkward commentary-- the phrase isn't inherently musical-- instead becomes an eloquent redefinition of the phrase, equating silence with hypocrisy and cowardice. What good is a majority that stands for nothing and speaks up for no one? Listen, Whitey! depicts a movement in which the very act of making art becomes politicized-- a form of outreach not unlike the Black Panthers' breakfast program. On a riveting live version of "Woman of the Ghetto", Marlena Shaw doesn't simply document inner-city life, but does so from the perspective of struggling mothers and neglected children. She peppers the verse with relentless bursts of scat-singing-- a volley of untranscribable consonants that could be horn charts, heartbeats, or gun blasts.
These artists make their cases and explain their stances so exactingly that it's easy to grasp their messages as well as their rejection of previous civil rights strategies. Although it advocates social activism over violent revolt, Shahid Quintet's "Invitation to Black Power (Parts 1 & 2)" seems to reject both the passive tactics of the Deep South civil rights movement just a few years easier and its roots in the church. However, the oratory skills of the black Southern preacher inform the public speaking style of Stokely Carmichael, whose "Free Huey" is a highlight on the compilation, bolstering his reputation as an intense public presence. "We have to recognize who the major enemy is," he declaims. "The major enemy is the honky and his institutions of racism." Compare that speech to Eldridge Cleaver's "Tim Leary", which makes public the Black Panther leaders' falling out with the popular LSD sage. Cleaver's cadence is littered with um's and uh's, offering few glimpses of the magnetic presence who drew likeminded activists into his circle. "Tim Leary" is of purely historical value, documenting a footnote in the two men's lives.
In general, however, Listen, Whitey! emphasizes lesser-known acts, or at least lesser-known songs by fairly well-known acts. Thomas is interested in depicting Black Power music at street level rather than playlisting the most popular songs of the era. In the book, he unearths a wealth of material on the under-studied and overlooked Motown imprint Black Forum, which released spoken-word albums by Bill Cosby and Ossie Davis addressing the Congressional Black Caucus, Langston Hughes reading poetry, and black Vietnam soldiers discussing the realities of warfare with disarming candor (someone please reissue Guess Who's Coming Home). On the album, the standout from Black Forum is Elaine Brown's sparkling gospel-pop testament "Until We're Free", which communicates dignity and determination in the face of "absurd" hostility.
If there's a prominent theme on the album, it's the language of race: What do words like "black," "white," and "power" even mean? "White folks in this country dirtied up the word black, not us," explains comedian Dick Gregory in an incisive routine that could double as poetry. "White folks corrupted power, not us. Then one day we come through with two innocent words, 'Black Power,' and everybody go crazy." Unfortunately, the track fades out too quickly, leaving Gregory's comment that "America hides bigotry under conservatism" unexamined.
Gylan Kain, formerly of the Last Poets, rejects any such categorization in his boisterous "I Ain't Black": "I ain't black!" he insists repeatedly, as the band goes wild behind him. As the song progresses, he changes it up: "I ain't white!" The implication is clear: he pushes against the racial distinctions but embraces the insults attached to them-- "bastard" and "motherfucker"-- in much the same way that other artists and activists took on the pejorative "nigger" to forcefully distinguish themselves from the white society they saw as fundamentally corrupt.
Perhaps the most curious inclusions on Listen, Whitey! are a trio of tunes by white artists, who alternately support the Black Power cause and reject their own race. British folkie Roy Harper enumerates white offenses in "I Hate the White Man", a meandering indictment of imperialism, greed, genocide, and endemic cruelty. On the other hand, "Angela" by John Lennon and Yoko Ono sounds well intended but incredibly naïve, which is perhaps the downside to their notorious plan to rush that album to stores. Similarly, Bob Dylan released "George Jackson" just two weeks after the death of the activist during a prison riot, but he manages to capture the tragedy while it's still fresh, somehow preserving those raw emotions in amber. More crucially, he doesn't let his sympathy get him off the hook: "Sometimes I think this whole world/ Is one big prison yard/ Some of us are prisoners/ The rest of us are guards." Dylan may side with the prisoners, but he understands that he remains apart from them-- both prisoner and prison guard, an uncomfortable duality that he navigates with more sensitivity and nuance than Harper or Lennon.
It's fitting then that Listen, Whitey! ends with the hard one-two punch of the Original Last Poet's frenzied "Die Nigga" and Amiri Baraka's fiery "Who Will Survive America". The two songs couldn't sound more different, but they are intense, jarring, even fearless as they ponder the true cost of revolution. Forty-eight years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act and 46 years after the founding of the Black Panther party, it's difficult to reconstruct the original context for these songs or to understand how startling it would have been to hear artists discuss race and revolution so frankly. But by focusing on the range of music inspired by this movement, Listen, Whitey! allows so much of the confusion, outrage, anger, emotion, humor, and even optimism of this music to resonate anew.

MANUFACTURER: Boeing
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2005-05-17
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness
directive (AD) for Boeing Model 737-300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes modified in accordance with STC ST00127BO. This AD
requires installation of bonding straps to the safe side harnesses
of the digital transient suppression device of the fuel quantity
indicating system. This AD is prompted by the results of fuel
system reviews conducted by the STC holder. We are issuing this AD
to prevent unsafe levels of current or energy from entering the
fuel tank, due to hot short faults or threat conditions associated
with the safe side harness assembly, which could result in a fire
or explosion of the fuel tank.

This affection evaporated pretty quickly, in the summer of 2005, with scenes of disorder in the streets of Baghdad and New Orleans. But it was there in 2004, and you can see it in that 23 percent turnout increase.
The 2012 election was different. Barack Obama got 6 percent fewer popular votes than he had gotten in 2008. And Mitt Romney got only 1 percent more popular votes than John McCain had four years before.
In retrospect, it looks like both campaigns fell short of their turnout goals. Yes, examination of election returns and exit polls indicates that the Obama campaign turned out voters where it really needed them.
That enabled him to carry Florida by 1 percent, Ohio by 3 percent, Virginia by 4 percent, and Colorado and Pennsylvania by 5 percent. Without those states, he would have gotten only 243 electoral votes.
Romney, like Kerry, depended on voters' distaste for the incumbent; he could not hope to inspire the devotion Bush enjoyed in 2004 and that Obama had from a diminished number in 2008.
But to continue this counterfactual scenario, if Obama had won 23 percent more popular votes this year than in 2008, he would have beaten Romney by 85 million to 69 million votes and by 54 to 44 percent.
In reality, Obama's vote and percentage went down. Considering what happened in Bush's second term, that suggests a course of caution and wariness for the re-elected president and his party.

In this short, fantastic video featuring Marawa the Amazing we witness her, "Scale the walls of a Victorian terraced house without your feet ever leaving the ground." It is mind-bending! Marawa explained to us, "Basically it is a camera and mirror trick – so they filmed from the mirrors and I was on the ground 'walking across the building', which was actually the floor. They were petrified I was going to break the mirror and wouldn't let me wear my heels which was super annoying, but it was really fun." Dalston House is a project by Leandro Erlich and it is located in London, England, UK, which is also currently home to Marawa herself. Dalston House is only open until August 4th so visit it while you can!

My bff accidently gave a girl on the opposing team a concussion in basketball and I got one in soccer
be careful.....
by softballismyBFF on 7/10/2012 2:07:18 PM
This is the only thing I don't like about basketball. You're not protected at all, and there is quite a bit of physical in it. No helmet, pads, or anything. Just a uniform, and your bball shoes.At one of my bball tournaments two girls butted heads, and since my mom is a nurse, she had to go help, and she lost her vision, and had a huge headache, and had to be taken to the hospital where she ended up being fine.

My boyfriend and a friend of mine at school hit heads during flag football. Both had a concussion, but only my boyfriend went to the hospital. The other boy fell out while he was in the parking lot and then had to be helped into the car, but still wasn't taken to the hospital. The next night he had a seizure and went into what was believed to be cardiac arrest. They flew him out to Children's where they found a skull fracture. He had so much brain damage that he was a vegetable and would have had to live on a machine all his life, so they pulled the plug and he passed away. It took an amazing person out of our school district, out of a community, out of a family and my boyfriend is left feeling he murdered him. Our town is so small, nearly everyone knew him and now he's gone. Please pray for his family and my boyfriend, on which the toll of the young man's death has taken its greatest effect.
by madison_j on 7/10/2012 1:23:14 PM
I had a concussion once but it wasnt from playing sports. I got knocked over when i wasnt looking and i fell on the blacktop and got a concussion at school. Thats probably the worst place to get a concussion.

Elizabeth Banks has welcomed another son!
After welcoming son Felix in March 2011, the "Hunger Games" star and husband Max Handelman have a new addition to the family, Magnus Mitchell Handelman.
"Like Felix, Magnus was born via gestational surrogate," the 38-year-old actress wrote on her website.
"This experience has exceeded all expectations, taught us a great deal about generosity and gratitude, and established a relationship that will last a lifetime," she continued. "I am also so very thankful to our family and friends for their support throughout this process, as well as the Center for Surrogate Parenting for helping make all this possible."
In addition to her busy career on the big screen, the mom will have her hands full – and a bit dirty.
"I now turn my attention to managing two boys under two. For which I am thankful. And all their poop. For which I am less thankful. Wish me luck," she added.

NH's heating oil season starts revving up

"People started looking at their oil tanks to see where they stand," said David Jones, owner of Neighbor's Oil in Plaistow.
The busiest time for oil deliveries is usually November and December, but dealers say now is a good time to buy.
Now is also a good time for struggling families to apply for help paying a portion of their heating bills.
The state provided assistance to 36,805 households last winter season and expects to see at least the same number of requests this year, Lovett said.
"We're getting lots of requests from people who have never been on the program before," she said.
Lovett said the state doesn't know yet how much it will receive in federal funds this year, but she's hopeful it'll be at least the same as last year's $24.3 million.
Several oil dealers said they believe prices will likely be similar to last winter.
Like other dealers, Victory's price per gallon was $3.349 on Friday; it has slowly increased since the spring.
Kevin Schea, president of Harry's Fuel in Brentwood, said he expects oil prices to average $3.50 a gallon through the end of the year.
"People were really panicking because of the news and everything that was going on," Carter said, referring to the crisis in Syria.
"A lot of people are filling up now because they think the price of oil is going to be sky high," Carter said.
Schea said most oil companies make deliveries for their customers once during the summer months, especially if they use oil to provide hot water, but "we won't start seeing eight-hour days, five days a week until mid-November and then it slowly slides into six days a week and then seven days a week."
"Snow days keep kids home, so consumption is higher," Pack said.

Olivia Cole's Oscar week diary
It's been one of those weeks. Seduced by Owen Wilson, flirting with John Hamm and licked all over by the star of The Artist.
Published: 09 March 2012 12:03 PM
At dinner in the dark bar at the Sunset Tower Hotel I run into Mad Men's Jon Hamm who suggests that, as a tourist, I have to check out the infamous Saddle Ranch Chop House over the road, where you can ride a bull rodeo-style.
I politely decline (not in this dress) and head on to jeweller Stephen Webster's store on Rodeo Drive for the launch of Richard Young's exhibition of photographs of Elizabeth Taylor. Young got his first scoop in 1975 when he snuck into Richard Burton's 50th birthday party at The Dorchester by pretending to be the DJ. He was rumbled and Taylor hissed at him to 'get out', only to call later to ask for prints of his pictures: a good case study for any Hollywood correspondent in the making.
On Thursday, the parties start in earnest with an invitation to the Mayor of LA's Tudor-style residence, Getty House. The Hollywood Reporter throws its annual nominees party in its vast garden. LA in February is sunny by day but freezing at night – hence Gwyneth Paltrow's choice of a witchy cape over her white Tom Ford dress at the Oscar ceremony. Not having Mr Ford on speed dial myself, I'm wearing an early 1980s silver fox fur coat of my mother's over my dress. The result has a certain 1930s Hollywood vibe, I think.
The next stop is Cut and a dinner thrown by the celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck and his wife Gelila, with the super-glam mobile phone company Vertu, for friends including the music producer Quincy Jones and photographer Bruce Weber. Puck does the cooking for the Governor's Ball each year, creating a feast that always finishes with his trademark: tiny gold chocolate Oscar statuettes. The dancing starts before pudding. Gelila drags me on to the floor and no one even touches the crème brûlée 'Baby Banana' cream pies. A travesty.
Oscar week wouldn't be complete without a snoop around one of the infamous 'gifting suites', where brands set up in a hotel suite and try to cajole the stars to wear their shoes/diamonds/moisturiser. The resurgence of this activity this year is a sign (some say, straight-faced) of a recovery in the US economy. At the Four Seasons I meet Janie Bryant, costume designer for Mad Men, who's designed a collection of corseted underwear for the American brand Maidenform, and is guest of honour, welcoming invitees to the label's suite. I next head to the Montblanc suite at the Beverly Wilshire where the pink Ruinart flows. The brand has taken over a vast suite – the one used by President Obama when he's in town – and the roof terrace is the size of a tennis court. To me, though, it will always be the Pretty Woman hotel and I bemuse the assembled company by reciting choice lines, such as 'the champagne brings out the flavour of the strawberries'.
Early next morning I accompany the stylist Joanne Black, my LA wing woman, to a session of Barry's Bootcamp, which has a legion of fans from Katie Holmes to Hugh Jackman. The technical translation for the ensuing high-octane agony is high-intensity interval training. It certainly gets me ready to race down to the Jameson Indie Spirit Awards in Venice Beach. Seth Rogen is a witty host and my bet to replace Billy Crystal presenting the Oscars in the future, not least because he retains the full use of his facial muscles.
There's barely time for a disco nap before Charles Finch and Chanel's annual dinner at Madeo restaurant. I've challenged myself to wear London designers all week and choose a backless grey sequined number by Markus Lupfer for the occasion. 'I hear Margaret Thatcher does a wonderful Meryl Streep,' purrs the actor Danny Huston, who's about to direct again for the first time in years. Diane Kruger adjusts her star-speckled Chanel in the corner and says that if she ever learns the secret of getting through awards season without painful feet and uncomfortable frocks, she'll let me know.
Owen Wilson nurses a cocktail at the bar. I'm taken aback by how strong his Texan drawl is, but he has beautiful Southern manners. We end up talking about F Scott Fitzgerald, one of the many great names Wilson's character meets in Woody Allen's Oscar-nominated film Midnight in Paris. Woody's agent John Burnham squeezes by: 'Ah, the muse,' he says affectionately of Owen. The following night, the screenplay wins Woody the Oscar.
Next stop is Soho House for Harvey Weinstein and Chopard's pre-Oscar party. I meet The Artist's A-list pooch Uggie (above), who cuddles up and licks me on the nose. He may be canine but I stick with the usual formula for meeting major stars and whisper in his silky ear that I love his work. Later, as Tony Bennett serenades the crowd and the Grey Goose is flowing, I meet Jean Dujardin, fresh off a flight from Paris and almost as handsome as his canine co-star. He's the hot favourite for Best Actor, but I still wish him bon chance for tomorrow.
On Sunday, the big night, I wear a red The State of Grace dress slashed to the thigh, perfect for flashing a pin Angelina-style. I've inveigled my way back to the Beverly Wilshire to watch the awards on Obama's vast TV, but as the credits roll I head to the Mondrian hotel for the victorious Weinstein Company's after-party. After a sweep of awards for The Artist and The Iron Lady, the atmosphere is lively. I spy a happy-looking Harvey, P Diddy, Meryl, Kenneth Branagh, and an Oscar. I even get to hold Oscar – it weighs an absolute ton. Thank goodness I'd been to boot camp. ES

I bend over backwards to watch the games on TV in no small part due to GKR. But when I do listen to the radio, I just don't get the love for Josh Lewin. Yeah, he's an upgrade over Wayne Hagin but that wasn't a very high bar to clear.2. Robert in Manhattan Beach Posted: January 27, 2014 at 02:11 PM (#4646798)
I don't like his voice and I think he defers too much to Howie. I just don't think they make a great team. It seem they co-exist more then they blend.
Lewin does Chargers football on the radio using a fake gravely tough guy voice that is impossible not to chuckle at. His catchphrase "Move those chains!" Is equally cringeworthy. I don't get him either.3. if nature called, ladodger34 would listen Posted: January 27, 2014 at 03:26 PM (#4646847)
Lewin does Chargers football on the radio using a fake gravely tough guy voice that is impossible not to chuckle at. His catchphrase "Move those chains!" Is equally cringeworthy. I don't get him either.
Think he is a decent baseball announcer (at least when he was on Fox). Nothing spectacular, but not terrible either (damning with faint praise, I guess?). I've only heard him a few times on Chargers broadcasts, but man, he needs to tone it down a notch. He calls every 2 yard gain by the RB like it is a touchdown. My wife was in the car with me one day and heard him screaming and asked me if the team did something good and it was seriously a 2 yard gain or something like that.
Most local NFL broadcasters are that way. It's what the league cultivates.5. JJ1986 Posted: January 27, 2014 at 06:48 PM (#4646982)
I almost never listen to football on the radio, but I caught a random Patriots game this year and the announcers were unbelievably bad. They talked way too fast, called what was happening only when they felt like it and spent most of the time complaining about calls that went against them months earlier. Whenever a call went against the team, they referenced the push on the field goal that was called against the Jets as though it were the worst thing in the world ignoring that it was a correct call.6. Bruce Markusen Posted: January 27, 2014 at 07:53 PM (#4647013)
I think most of the support is for Rose, who is an absolute gem on Mets broadcasts. I don't know of anyone who knows Mets history any better than Howie.7. john_halfz Posted: January 28, 2014 at 12:25 PM (#4647323)
His play-by-play is solid and down the middle, too. It would be a crime for the Mets to drop him from their broadcasts.
In the case of the Mets, you deal with Josh to get Howie. And if you tune in early, you get Ed Coleman grousing about the weather. Very solid. Not nearly Bob Murphy, but by 2014's standards, pretty darn good.
Over in the Bronx, on the other hand, you've got the best advertisement I can imagine for the value of learning Spanish.

Two arrested over allegations of animal cruelty after police rescue 81 dogs from suspected puppy farm in Essex
Published: 22 August 2013
Few people in London— where we have suffered the 2005 bombings, this year's killing in Woolwich and numerous foiled attacks — would disagree that terrorism is a chilling word. But as the row over the detention at Heathrow of the partner of US journalist Glenn Greenwald rumbles on, we should look again at what the word really means.
That's because the big question in this saga is not whether the Met acted lawfully in holding David Miranda, important as that is, but whether the reach of the Terrorism Act is too great and whether we're paying too high a price to protect ourselves.
Most of us think of terrorists as people who want to bomb or shoot others in direct acts of violence. Our law sees it differently.
Read the legislation and it makes clear that a person who creates a "serious risk to the health or safety" of a "section of the public" while promoting a political or ideological cause is deemed to be engaged in terrorism.
It doesn't matter that they have no intention of causing harm: the unintended consequences of their actions can be enough to make them guilty. That was the line taken by Home Secretary Theresa May as she defended the Met this week, saying "it is right" for police to act against those with "information which could help terrorists" — the information in question presumably relating to US whistleblower Edward Snowden, interviewed by Greenwald.
I think that's wrong. The legislation's net spreads too widely.
That's not because I'm a conspiracy theorist who thinks the threat is overblown and a cover for authoritarian state agencies. The convictions this year of 11 members of a Birmingham terror cell plotting an attack that a judge said was intended to turn their city into a "little war zone", and of another four men who planned to blow up a Territorial Army base, prove that the terrorist threat remains real. MI5 and the police do a fine job in foiling such plots and I'm grateful to them.
But when it comes to terrorism we should target the powers of the state at would-be murderers, not non-violent leakers, however naive or reckless they might be. It's about the balance between protection and civil liberties. Tilting it back towards the latter by rewriting the Terrorism Act and its sweeping definition of terror is what's now needed. The Home Secretary has shown the way once by scrapping control orders. That raised the potential danger to the public as the price for removing draconian curbs on personal freedom.
It was a small step but a correct one. It was also brave, reflecting the same spirit Londoners showed eight years ago when they returned to the Tube in the days after the 7/7 murders. We recognised then that total security would exact too high a price on our liberties.
The same remains true now. Detaining fleeting visitors with no violent intent for nine hours and threatening them with prison feels excessive and un-British. The law shouldn't allow room for such actions.
Maybe, if the Home Secretary is right about the impact of Snowden's leaks, that would place us in greater peril. But if that's true then we should accept it. Life can't be risk-free. After all, facing down danger to preserve our freedom is part of what being British is all about.

I love LSSU Dance Company. Being part of the Dance Company gave me an
opportunity to make new friends and be involved in campus and community
activities. We participate in such a wide variety of events that go way beyond
dancing. I personally enjoy programs that allow us to introduce dance to young
children. The smiles, hugs, and high-fives are priceless. There is something very
special about being part of a campus organization that is really focused on giving
back to the community while doing what we love.

PASIR GUDANG: Malaysia's top women's singles shuttler Tee Jing Yi's victory at the Iran International last month may have gone unnoticed but it has been a huge morale booster.
On Wednesday, she showcased her new-found confidence by marching into the second round of the Malaysia Open Grand Prix Gold at the Pasir Gudang Municipal Stadium here with a convincing 21-18, 21-14 win over fourth seed Aprilla Yuswandari of Indonesia.
The unseeded Jing Yi will take on Japan's former No. 1 Sayaka Sato on Thursday. The Japanese is playing in her first international tournament after coming out from an injury and slump.
Jing Yi quit badminton in November last year because she was frustrated with her career but thanks to some coaxing from those who believe in her abilities, she made a return a month later.
The world No. 52 Jing Yi said that she is more relaxed now as she knows exactly what she wants out of badminton.
"I was quite lost at that time (when I quit) but now, I am clear of what I want. The Iran International was just a satellite tournament but it felt good to taste success again," said Jing Yi.
Before the small success in Iran, she struggled to come good in the first three tournaments of the year. She lost in the first round of the Korea and Malaysia Opens in January and crashed out in the quarter-finals of the India Open GP Gold in February.
"I am getting my touch back and hope to keep the momentum going," added Jing Yi, who has vowed to stay focused in her match against Sato.
Jing Yi is the only Malaysian left in the women's singles category after the defeats of Lim Yin Fun and Yang Li Lian on Wednesday.
