'harbinger' is to be read and pronounced as 'humdinger'
It's some stupid dog, human interest type of story.
I got less than a paragraph through reading it before noticing a glaring mistake; they refer to the soviet union as a "nazi-friendly country". The soviet union was not only no more a country than the united kingdom is a country, but it was no more "nazi-friendly" than the united states is butt-buddies with cuba. How can you not understand the idea of not attacking countries just because you can? Countries with a massive army, insanely solid propaganda machine, plans to kill everyone in your country (jews, slavs, communists), etc.
I'll say it: Hitler was kind of a dick, everyone knew that (they didn't know the extent of his dickery until after the war, but that's a whole other story).
I'm sorry about the whole rant, but one of my pet peeves is the tendency for idiots in all levels of society to blame communists (and random countries [and presidents ffs] that aren't even communist) for everything that goes wrong. But economic systems are a rant for a different day.
Took a break from tumblr (right after i said i'd be posting some of my artwork for a few days, cuz i'm a douche) and when i got back i was following someone. Someone new.
So i tried to figure out who it was, how did i end up following this person? Who are they? Frightened, I went through many theories, one of which was that someone had hacked into my account. But to merely follow themself? Who would do such a thing? I pondered long.
By that time i wasn't even mad, merely impressed that someone could hack my account, and intrigued that they would hack it for such a reason. It left me asking why, and who would do such a thing.
Turns out it was just someone i followed but they changed their name and profile icon while i was gone. And here i was, believing that i had been infiltrated by someone who merely wanted more followers, dare i even say they wanted me as a follower?
Lol i know, i'm batshit insane, but it's part of my charm innit?
I will stop letting other people make my decisions for me,
I will do what i want regardless of whether i'll be on my own,
And I will stop worrying over what people think of me.
(I don't normally make new years resolutions, because it's stupid and arbitrary, but i'm drunk and so i'll stoop to the level of the great masses that think that the 31st is different from any other day and that there's any real difference from just choosing any other day of the year to make your life better.)
In other words, happy new year!
I bet the Germans have a word for it.
You can spend hours looking at people who are living a better life than you, you end up feeling dirty afterward, and to top it all off you're probably worse off than when you began.
Truth in Numbers? Everything, According to Wikipedia, a new documentary explaining the site's methods and guiding vision, is available for viewing online before its theatrical release. Whether the sort of people who seek out online documentaries need a tutorial in how the go-to information site works is an open question, but the film raises interesting questions about authority, only somewhat intentionally.
The film opens in India, at a school whose students don't use the internet, in a town whose adults aren't familiar with Wikipedia. An American man shows the citizens Wikipedia, and one instantly notices an error in the entry for the city of Varanasi, which the man fixes. By this time, we've learned the stranger's identity, after he calls Wikipedia "my website" – he's Jimmy Wales, and we jump to a lecture he's giving, far from India, about the potential his site has. But Truth in Numbers? may well be coming too late.
More: 'Truth in Numbers? Everything, According to Wikipedia' - The Documentary Reviewed - Urlesque
This will be a long commentary about the movie in question, viewer discretion is advised:
They point out that anyone can edit Wikipedia. Duh. They conveniently and egregiously avoid mentioning that this information is (in all but the most extreme case) referenced by linking to other sites. And those references are, in turn, scrutinized by the group of editors.
They mention a person claiming they were an expert and that they had several college degrees in theology. And? Doesn't this say more about how much we put into appeals to authority? Why does it matter that a person has a piece of paper, when, if asked, they couldn't prove any of their knowledge in a peer-reviewed manner?
They also point out that editors are anonymous. Ooh, scary, we can only judge these people on what they've actually done and not on where they grew up or what color their skin is. The world would be better if people were anonymous more often.
And how can you prove that anyone wrote anything? Anyone could write a book and sign their name as someone else. It would be more difficult now, but the majority of our knowledge as human beings could very well be written by people under pseudonyms or even blatantly posing as other people.
Also, why so many "critics"? I'm starting to think that word just means "contrarian with a thumb up their ass". And then they come out with the Sarah Palin logic of "they're anonymous, therefore: criminals!!!" and that just made me want to punch a baby (which is the only appropriate emotional reaction when faced with Sarah Palin logic).
Another example of Sarah Palin logic is when they continually say that Jimbo Wales should "reveal the identities of it's anonymous users" if he cares about Wikipedia continuing to be a reliable source of knowledge. Basically they want everyone to be revealed so they can enforce their methods of intimidation and stop Wikipedia from being a platform for the free spread of information.
There is no cabal.
They also completely reject the idea that a collective of people who constantly scrutinize and correct eachother would be more accurate than just one person, even though that's the same exact way that science is advanced; through peer-review. And at one point they mention Adolf Hitler and how if you were to write an article on him you'd have to call him a "monster" and say that everything about him was bad. This is obviously not the case and it's just plain stupid to glorify name-calling over explaining the whole story. And i'm not saying that Hitler was good. He was, quite frankly, a complete jerkass. But to put the word "jerkass" in any encyclopedia would be disturbingly unprofessional, to say the least.
Not as a question, but as a statement.
No, i don't know. Please fucking tell me.
i was useing Gimp and Photoshop..
i personaly like how it came out..xD
(No i'm not a Nazi..shut up..i don't what no flame's)
Oh, you're not a nazi?
Okay, i have to clarify this because i'm an OCD bastard, especially when it comes to language and history. The swastika has been used by almost every culture throughout history and across the globe, and is still used in many eastern cultures and religions as a symbol of good luck.
The right-facing swastika (卐), such as the one in the picture, was used by the Nazis as well as allot of other groups in history; not so much anymore for obvious reasons. But the left-facing swastika (卍) was not ever used as a symbol by the Nazis and thus can be used to clarify your meaning in using this ancient symbol.
Of course this person doesn't clarify why they are using the symbol(alternately called swastika, svastika, or manji) so i could only assume that they think it looks SUPER KEWL!!!! which is fine too i suppose.
tl;dr= Swastika does not equal Nazi.
Declaration of War Against Justin Bieber Haters
Children have too many freedoms.
Know that lisp that seems to only come from having braces?
Most. Annoying. Fucking. Sound.
Also, this is the stupidest plan ever. If you do this then you will go to jail, and rightfully so as it would potentially endanger people's lives and property. In short: consequences will never be the same.
Also also, assuming that anyone who doesn't like [he who doesn't deserve to be mentioned] is a "metal-head fucktard", is just idiotic (in more technical terms it's called a false dichotomy).
The problem isn't bullying, the problem is this capitalist society that uses the idea of popularity to constantly barrage adults and children with the message that if they don't by x then they are going to be looked down upon by their peers and thus are useless little empty shells of human beings.
The reality is that those popular kids are vacuous drones that will never amount to anything because they don't have the balls to go against the decrees of some authority figure, and that nobody should admire or even respect these people. Pick any historic person and they're bound to be someone who was either unpopular or at the very least had something to say outside the norm.
Popular people are stupid people; break the norm and make history, or follow the crowd and become a mere ghost in the records.
(on a somewhat unrelated note: http://www.interestings.net/?p=167)
Is there something i'm missing here? Some cultural difference wherein Canadians merely slow down so as to not hit a child at more than 18 miles/hour?
There would be so much rear-ending and swerving into oncomming traffic in the future if this goes through.

- RT Breno Giacomini – Signed with New York Jets
Giacomini wasn't the most popular amongst Seahawks' fans but he was active, tough (though his toughness too often transferred to dumbness) and an emotional leader. Seattle survived his short term injury for a few weeks thanks to Michael Bowie so this wasn't a irreplaceable loss but it still left a sizable hole to fill and the jury is still out on Bowie.
Loss Importance Grade: B+
- OG Paul McQuistan – Signed with Cleveland Browns
McQuistan brought experience and versatility to the OL, particularly at guard. The Browns will have picked up a valuable piece that could become an instant starter. With the drafting of the extra-mobile Johnny Manziel in Cleveland, his experience is even more valuable based on his time with Russell Wilson. Because of McQuistan's versatility and production in the face of injuries the past two or three years in Seattle I really feel as if this loss is very much on par with Giacomini's. In other words replacing him fully and earning an overall A rating at the end of this thing would take an equal replacement for each.
Loss Importance Grade: B+

Now I sight my shaft to shoot
I pray thee lord to win me loot
And if I miss the target yellow
Let me hit another fellow!
I nock my arrow and draw my bow,
then loose my shaft and watch it go.
And it may hit the target with some luck,
but in case it don't, I suggest you duck."

Reducing Your Risk
Talking to Your Doctor
Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Resource Guide
A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop rheumatoid arthritis with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing rheumatoid arthritis. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Although rheumatoid arthritis can develop at any age, you're most likely to develop the condition between the ages of 30 and 60.
Women are 2.5 to 3 times more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than men.
You are more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis if there are other people in your family with this condition or with other autoimmune disorders. Genes called HLA (human leukocyte antigen genes) increase the risk of rheumatoid arthritis.
People who are obese may have an increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis.
Some studies have suggested that there is a connection between long-term smoking and the development of rheumatoid arthritis.

Pangkor Laut seems to seduce everyone. When I depart, two girls are crying on the boat back to the mainland marina.

Taiping was founded in violence, which is ironic given that its attractions today are of a gentle nature. A relaxed place to savor leafy pleasures, it is a quiet town where the residents go about their business largely untroubled by glossy shopping malls and big tour groups.
Have you heard of Penang? If so, it's probably because you're a foodie. Often referred to as the "Food Paradise of Asia," Penang does offer amazing eats, but it also plays host to a number of other delicious experiences.
The Gates of Hell are open and peckish spirits from the Underworld are wandering about. This can only mean one thing: it's time for the Hungry Ghost Festival.
Penangites love to eat, drink and talk, and Penang is regarded as the street food capital of Malaysia. Unsurprisingly, many new ventures have revolved around increasingly sophisticated venues for chatting and snacking.
A Vipassana course is travel of a very personal kind, as it is above all a journey with the self, which may or may not involve conventional travel. If you love travel of all types, you can, as I did, combine both.
If the British East India Company existed today, it would be a billion-dollar mega-corporation. In 1786 the company wanted a suitable port of "refreshment and repair" along the valuable trade route to China, and the tropical island of Penang.
In Penang, we stayed at an ultra-luxury two bedroom beachfront apartment with a private beach, pool, tennis court, playground and daily maid service for $110 a night.
Back at our hotel, the tsunami watch was on and a security team kept watch, cellphones in hand, waiting for word from the nearby island of Langkawi, which, in the event of a tsunami, would experience the tidal wave.

Regional Modernities
The Cultural Politics of Development in India
Edited by K. Sivaramakrishnan and Arun Agrawal
472 pp.
Cloth $64.95
Paper $28.95
Author Info
"This is a well-conceived and well-executed anthropological collection of essays."—Lakshmi R. Iyer, United States Department of Agriculture
"This collection sets a very high standard of scholarship in the social science literature on development and modernity. Individually and collectively, the essays in this volume will challenge and provoke scholars engaged in the critique of development in India and elsewhere."—Journal of Asian Studies
This collection of essays by leading social scientists focuses on development in India to explore the emergence of "regional modernities" in ways that are distinct from a so-called global modernity and its myriad local variations. "Regional," for the authors, incorporates the state and other subnational and supranational social and political formations that are more or less salient depending on the social networks and development projects under consideration. In particular, the concept of region allows the assessment of large-scale ethnic, religious, social, and geo-political formations as they mediate oversimplified binary oppositions of colonial or postcolonial power and local incorporation or resistance.
Individual essays present case studies of development across India, considering the role of class, caste, gender, and ethnic and political identities in their interactions with government forces. They investigate the binding of diverse groups through large projects such as dam building and offer rich ethnographic accounts of tree farmers, entrepreneurs, government officials, women in Gandhian ashrams, slum dwellers, and atomic scientists.

Letter to the Editor: Church has wrong response to issue
New Hope Bible Church's decision to sever ties with the Boys Scouts is an unfortunate response to the decision made by the Boy Scouts of America regarding homosexual membership.
Those opposed to the original policy were willing to sacrifice the good of the children because they disagreed with a policy. They were wrong. Now those who oppose the new policy are doing the same thing. They, too, are wrong.
I started in Scouts when I was 11. For the next seven years not once did any of my Scoutmasters try to lead me in one direction or another on the issue of homosexuality. That was left up to my parents and my church. Scouting teaches leadership and outdoor skills, develops confidence, and makes activities such as white-water rafting, camping, and spelunking available to children.
I probably relate very closely to the morals and biblical teachings at New Hope Bible Church. New Hope is now giving a group on the opposite side of this issue the opportunity to charter a pack, troop, or crew and wield the influence on these children that New Hope Bible Church once had, but volunteered to give up.
I will give New Hope Bible Church credit for one thing, though. Members disagreed with the policy and chose to start an alternative organization. Had other groups chosen this route, rather than force a successful 100-plus-year-old youth organization to change its biblically based policy, parents would have the opportunity to make the choice that best suits their beliefs years ago and without any legal or public battles.

Skin Problems & Treatments Health Center
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Topics
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) - Overview
How is an infection diagnosed?
If your doctor thinks that you are infected with MRSA, he or she will send a sample of your infected wound, blood, or urine to a lab. The lab will grow the bacteria and then test to see which kinds of antibiotics kill the bacteria. This test may take several days.
You may also be tested if your doctor suspects that you are a MRSA carrier. A MRSA carrier is a person who has the bacteria living on the skin and in the nose but who is not sick. The test is done by taking a swab from the inside of the nose.
How is an infection treated?
Depending on how serious your infection is, the doctor may drain your wound, prescribe antibiotic medicine, give you an IV (intravenous) antibiotic, or hospitalize you.
If you have a MRSA infection and need to be in a hospital, you may be isolated in a private room to reduce the chances of spreading the bacteria to others. When your doctors and nurses are caring for you, they may use extra precautions such as wearing gloves and gowns. If you have a MRSA pneumonia, they may also wear masks.
Most cases of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) begin as mild skin infections such as pimples or boils. Your doctor may be able to treat these infections without antibiotics by using a minor surgical procedure that opens and drains the sores.
If your doctor prescribes antibiotic medicine, be sure to take all the medicine even if you begin to feel better right away. If you do not take all the medicine, you may not kill all the bacteria. No matter what your treatment, be sure to call your doctor if your infection does not get better as expected.
How can I prevent getting or spreading MRSA?
As more antibiotic-resistant bacteria develop, hospitals are taking extra care to practice infection control, which includes frequent hand-washing and isolation of patients who are infected with MRSA.
You can also take steps to protect yourself from MRSA.
- Practice good hygiene.
- Keep your hands clean by washing them frequently and thoroughly with soap and clean, running water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Hand-washing is the best way to avoid spreading germs.
- Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered with a bandage, and avoid contact with other people's wounds or bandages.
- Do not share personal items such as towels or razors.
- Be smart about using antibiotics. Know that antibiotics can help treat bacterial infections but they cannot cure viral infections. Always ask your doctor if antibiotics are the best treatment. And avoid pressuring your doctor into prescribing antibiotics when they won't help you get better.
- Always take all your antibiotic medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Using only part of the medicine may cause antibiotic-resistant bacteria to develop.
- Do not save any antibiotics, and do not use antibiotics that were prescribed for someone else.
- If you are in the hospital, remind doctors and nurses to wash their hands before they touch you.

Yogi Levitates In Front Of 150 Witnesses, No Props Or Tricks Discovered Yogi Pullavar, also known as Subbayah Pullavar, was an Indian man who on 6 June 1936 was reported to have levitated into the air for four minutes in front of a crowd of 150 witnesses. Yogi's feat was publicly observed and photographed in an exhibition that occurred in South India. The feat was executed around noon on a sunny, cloudless day and in an area where visibility was not obscured.
Personally, I believe the trick is in the stick, that along with amazing upper-body.
Am I the only one completely creeped out by this dude's hand? It looks so unnatural.

In July 2010, al Qosi pleaded guilty to providing material support for terrorism and conspiracy. He had been detained at Guantanamo following his capture at the Pakistani border in December 2001 and was released according to a plea agreement with the U.S.

The AFP reports Tianyi has been charged with rape, and this is not the first time he has been part of controversy. In 2011 he and another teenager were both driving "expensive cars" when they "attacked a couple who reportedly blocked their passage, while the [couple's] child looked on." It was not until after widespread online coverage of the crime that Tianyi "was sent to a correctional facility for one year." General Shuangjiang apologized. These actions and the manner in which sentences were handed down has only added to the growing resentment in China "towards the children of powerful families and wealthy families viewed as living extravagantly or above the law."

If you wouldnt' accept 'nearly', then why should anyone else?
Equal treatment under the law, means equal treatment under the law. Gay people are compelled to be equally law abiding, equally responsible and even more when it comes to being tax payers. Equally required to work and contribute to the general welfare. Nearly the same rights, wouldn't be fair for being FULLY responsible. THAT is the truth of the matter. Just because you can't handle that truth, doesn't mean gay citizens should suffer for it.
Homosexual activists achieved historic gains in the November 2012 election in the states of Washington, Maine and Maryland. These three notoriously liberal states passed laws extending marriage benefits to homosexual relationships by four to six percentage points. But will these legal victories ultimately deny them the sweeping Supreme Court decision they long for?
Judge Robert Jones of a federal court in Nevada has laid the groundwork for such a conclusion. In his ruling on a lawsuit which sought to overturn Nevada's ban on gay marriage, Jones wrote that the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) lobby's success in advancing its...

Widick signs to play at NPCC
Brady senior Courtney Widick has excelled at every sport throughout her high school career.
She was a varsity starter for four years in volleyball and played at state as a senior.
Widick is also a four-year starter in basketball with two trips to state and she was the leading scorer for the past two years.
She has run at the state track meet twice already and hopes to get back there again next month.
While she likely could have chosen to compete in college in any of the three sports, Widick chose basketball for the next chapter of life.
Widick signed her letter of intent on Thursday, making official her commitment to play basketball for coach Dick Thurin at North Platte Community College.
With a full scholarship, playing basketball for the Knights might seem like a no-brainer but it wasn't an easy decision for Widick.
"There's just so many things to think about," she said. "It's a big commitment."
But Thurin was persistent and Widick knew playing for North Platte meant she would be able to stay close to home.
"I've been playing basketball since I was in the third grade," she said. "That's like forever."
Thurin said he recruited Widick as a guard and he's looking forward to the depth she will add to the team from the outside.
Widick said basketball has always been fun for her and now it will be a job too.
"My dad said I could get a job to pay for college or I could play basketball and that would be my job," Widick said. "I might as well have fun while I'm working, right?"
Widick is the daughter of Ross and Terri Widick of Brady. She is undecided on a college major.

Embraer and Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) on September 25 rolled out the first American-assembled A-29 Super Tucano for the U.S. Air Force's Light Air Support (LAS) program. The single-engine turboprop will be used to provide light air support, reconnaissance and training capabilities to the Afghanistan military.
Embraer EMB 312 Tucano
Beechcraft claimed a communications first for the AT-6, its losing contender for the USAF Light Air Support (LAS) program. Meanwhile, Embraer described progress in producing the winning LAS contender, the A-29 Super Tucano.
Beechcraft said that it accomplished the first flight of a production AT-6 light attack aircraft in Wichita on Tuesday. The first flight of an AT-6 production representative test vehicle occurred in September 2009.
At the Latin American Aerospace and Defense (LAAD) Show, Embraer announced a new customer for the EMB-314 Super Tucano. The Senegalese Air Force signed a contract for three aircraft and in-country training of pilots and mechanics by Embraer. Senegal will use the aircraft for border surveillance and internal security. The deal takes the number of the type ordered to 210.
After delays of nearly a year, the U.S. Air Force announced yesterday that it selected Sierra Nevada Corp. and its partner, Embraer Defense and Security, for its light air support program (LAS). After a lengthy rebidding process, the Air Force in essence confirmed its original choice of the A-29 Super Tucano, built by Brazilian airplane manufacturer Embraer.
For a journalist, the best part of attending the annual EAA AirVenture extravaganza in Oshkosh, Wis., is that often serendipity reigns, and the result is an entirely unexpected bonus, in this case the opportunity to fly Embraer's EMB-314 Super Tucano light attack turboprop.
The U.S. Air Force has apparently chosen the Embraer Super Tucano to meet the Light Air Support (LAS) requirement.
Demonstrating its technological range and capabilities, UK-based Cobham (Booth No. C10124) is highlighting recent platform wins by its Commercial Systems business unit. The company will provide an integrated avionics suite for the new Skylander SK-105 utility aircraft, and it has been tapped by Embraer (Booth No. N5132) to provide an advanced flight display system for 14 EMB-312 Tucano trainers being upgraded for the Columbian air force.
Flight evaluations of the two contenders for the U.S. Air Forceπs Light Air Support contract were completed late last week at Kirtland AFB, N.M. Embraer has teamed with U.S.-based Sierra Nevada to offer the Super Tucano. Hawker Beechcraft has partnered with Lockheed Martin to offer the AT-6.
Embraer has sold eight Super Tucano turboprops to the Indonesian air force. The aircraft will replace aging OV-10 Broncos in the light attack role, although Embraer notes that the Super Tucano can also perform surveillance and air-to-air interception. The value of the deal, which also includes ground support and an integrated logistics package, was not revealed. Deliveries will begin in 2012.

How your data will fuel the coming digital/biological convergence
Published: March 21, 2012
The secret thread running through the SXSW Interactive conference is one that, once noticed, is seen propagating throughout everything from politics to comedy, social media strategies to street parties, all the way to the very laws of thermodynamics.
It's encapsulated in something keynote speaker Don Tapscott, author of Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything, said on the first day of the March conference: "Up until a couple of years ago, every revolution had a leader."
He calls ours the Age of Networked Intelligence: one that started with the advent of the printing press and rolled on through to the internet, where we have "access to the intelligence of other heads." Then he talks about self-organization, the Tunisian revolution, and how weak ties conglomerate into strong ties. He ends with a long video of starlings, swarming like a living cloud. The flock is called a murmuration.
There's the thread: The swarm, self-organization, emergence. Many small parts that, coming together, create a higher level of organization. After I recognized it, I found it everywhere. "Comedy Bang Bang" podcast host Scott Aukerman introducing a show by encouraging the audience to laugh: If you laugh, the person next to you will laugh, and the person next to them, and so on. The grassroots political organization AmericansElect.org, which surveys online voter information to identify an ideal presidential candidate (look for 'em on the ballot this November). A talk on pop-up libraries in Chicago. "Coolfarming," the act of realizing ideas through "swarm creativity," where a "cool" idea excites people who recruit others who then recruit even more people until the idea gets "hot." Wikipedia — now 10 times the size of Brittanica — which mobilized to help block the Stop Online Piracy Act. It inhabits futurist Ray Kurzweil's discussion, when he comments on the power of "decentralized structures." Even within the laws of physics, he says, tiny, randomly moving particles come together to shape the immense complexity of the universe.
So, yes, right: The Swarm Theory colors all the moments of SXSW. Capitalizing on this new decentralized Age of Networked Intelligence are all the social startups that hit the wires this year, the progeny of social media and location-based applications. Highlight (more or less the belle of the ball), Sonar, and Banjo collate your social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) and roll in your location to tell you who's around with whom you might share common friends or interests. Meexo takes it a little further by surveying the scene for possible hookups. If where you are now isn't interesting, Forecast lets your people know where you will be. GooseChase allows you to build scavenger hunts for friends. Health and wellness apps Jiff, Pipette, VitalClip, and BodiMojo, in various ways, keep an eye on you and connect your health information to friends, doctors, and medical expertise.

When asked if he had spoken to Alex Rodriguez recently, Yankees ace C.C. Sabathia only had one thing to say, "Who?" The Yankees' organization and most of the players have kept their distance from A-Rod since the aftermath of the Biogenesis scandal which included the ensuing suspension and appeal. Yankees' general manager Brian Cashman said he had not spoken to Rodriguez and he was "focused on this team and moving forward."
Rodriguez was a never-ending distraction last year. The Biogenesis case was a large part of that, but even before that, Rodriguez was grabbing media attention from a hip injury he suffered last spring. His mid-season return from his surgery added on to this phenomenon. His streak of distractions continued on this year when he declined to be included in the pregame introductions on the field. If that is not enough for the media to eat up, he was in the news once again in the past two weeks. Rodriguez still owes around $3 million dollars to all his lawyers and private investigators he hired to help try and overturn his record suspension handed down by Major League Baseball.
New York fans should be happy though that his distraction of bad play is not on the field. The one they called "Choker," struggled in his return from his hip surgery. In 44 games and 181 at-bats, Rodriguez hit .244 with 38 hits and 43 strikeouts. Could the Yankees use his glove? Absolutely. However, a player such as Yangervis Solarte, has stepped up his game because of A-Rod's absence.
There is a simple answer to the problem of using performance enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball and I think Pete Rose and the 1919 Chicago White Sox know the answer: Banish players forever! Major League Baseball should crack down harder on cheaters like Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, etc. They will not however, because of the one key factor in the successful business of baseball: money! Executives believe people viewing baseball will go down due to the lack of star power. The game may not be as entertaining, but at least it would be pure.

Book Description:
Within a decade of the Wright Brothers' historic flight at Kitty Hawk, pilots were dropping the first crude bombs out of airplanes in combat while visionaries were predicting that the crushing power of an aerial assault would end warfare as we knew it. Yet for much of the first century of flight the myth of the airplane's unstoppable power often surged far ahead of technological reality. It would take both brilliant new inventions and bold new thinking for air power to triumph at last—as it did with such devastating effect in the two Gulf wars. This sweeping history includes the latest inside details of air operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, where precision weapons and unmanned drones quickly determined the outcome of the fight against the Taliban and Saddam Hussein. Stephen Budiansky draws on combat memoirs, government archives, and museum collections to create a sobering and dramatic account of the air wars of the last hundred years. A story of ideas and men, of intricate machines and fierce passions, Air Power is an edge-of-the-seat drama of contemporary warfare and technology crafted by one of our most gifted writers.

IG: Missing documents plague IRS process for screening new hires
Monday - 3/19/2012, 3:29pm EDT
A new inspector general's report finds missing documentation plagues the Internal Revenue Service's process for pre-screening new hires who are often entrusted with sensitive financial information.
The IRS is required to pre-screen all of its job applicants before they report for duty to determine an applicants' "initial suitability."
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, reviewed practices at four branch offices responsible for employment operations. However, in about 77 percent of the cases the IG reviewed, there was insufficient documentation verifying all of the required pre-screening steps had been taken.
IRS pre-screening can include a fingerprint check, citizenship verification and a tax check of the last three years, among other procedures.
The IG report doesn't necessarily indicate the agency hired employees without conducting the appropriate pre-screening measures, only that official documentation was often unavailable.
"Our report does not indicate that the IRS hired applicants who were not suitable or that the steps were not completed; rather, we found that the documentation of some of the prescreening steps was unavailable," said J. Russell George, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, in a statement. "As IRS employees are entrusted with sensitive financial information contained in more than 230 million tax returns, the IRS must ensure that all appropriate pre-screening procedures are completed and documented."
The report recommended that IRS develop policies for retaining documents in order to ensure pre-screening procedures are properly reported and catalogued. Debra Chew, the IRS chief human capital officer, in a response to the TIGTA report, said the agency could "fully implement" the recommendations surrounding retention policies.

Some schools have offered him as an athlete, Auburn offered him not too long ago as a safety, and others have followed Duke and offered the junior as a quarterback.
The ones that target him as a quarterback will likely have a better chance to sign him in the end.
"I want colleges to want me as a quarterback, but if some do not think I can do that right now, then maybe they will by the end of this year," said Jennings.
"Playing quarterback comes with a lot of responsibility and I think I am good at handling that. I am good in tough situations, so I want to play quarterback in college."
The 6-foot-4, 180 pound junior is not ruling a school out if they call him a 'safety' or an 'athlete', but being given a shot at quarterback is important to him.
He has thrown for over 700 yards and rushed for over 400 yards this season while helping Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Blackman get to an 8-0 record.
Jennings is just doing what the coaches ask him to do.
"I love to throw when a pass play is called and I love to run when a run play is called. When nobody is open, I just create a play. I am just a quarterback, but not one that is all pass or all run."
Plenty of schools have recognized the talent of the 2015 Scout 300 prospect.
"Ohio State, Duke, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Northwestern, Auburn, Nebraska, and New Mexico State have offered. Those are the main schools showing the most interest and all have offered," Jennings said.
Florida State is starting to show interest as well, so the Seminoles are a school to watch.
Many schools have their eyes on Jennings, so who does Jennings have his eyes on?
He has taken a visit to Vanderbilt this season and he had a good time.
"I went to the Missouri game and I love that school. It was exciting getting an offer from Vanderbilt and the campus is amazing. Besides great football, they have great academics too."
Vanderbilt is right up the road from the Jennings home, so does that give the Commodores an edge?
"I do not have top schools right now, I am just enjoying high school," Jennings said. "I am taking my time with it [Recruiting process] and trying to win a state championship with my teammates. That is most important right now."
He really liked Florida growing up and he watched the Gators closely win Tim Tebow was in charge. Urban Meyer was the head coach then and Jennings plans to be at Ohio State this weekend for the Penn State game.
Jennings is the No. 11 junior safety in the country on Scout.

Father Stephens had been a paragon of virtue to all who knew him at St. Germain's Church, but after he goes missing, disturbing facts about him emerge. It's possible that he was somehow involved with a young man from his after-school program. Also, a large sum of money with traces of methamphetamine on it is found in Father Stephen's room. The team's search for the priest intensifies when a transplant organ becomes available, and there is only one day to find him before it goes to the next person on the list.

Coming of age in middle America, 18-year-old Rosemary evaluates how her entire youth was defined by the presence and forced removal of an endearing chimpanzee who was secretly regarded as a family member and who Rosemary loved as a sister.

Easy to read, light, the characters remind me of those from a comic book; don't know if the reader is supposed to take this story seriously or not; reads more like porpaganda. Can't believe it was shortlisted for the Booker!
2014 Man Booker Prize nomiee
2014 PEN/Faulkner Award winner for fiction
A difficult book to read simply because the main character, Rosemary is so dysfunctional. Raised until the age of 5 with a chimpanzee named Fern, the two grew as sisters. When Fern disappears, its a devastating loss to the entire family and each one finds their own way to cope. Despite the recommendations of my fellow librarian colleagues, it was not my favourite.
I really loved this book, it is one you still think about long after it has been returned. I am glad I did not know "the secret" before I read it, it added a whole different dimension to my read (and I am one who usually reads the end first). I too will not soon forget Fern.
Such a good book addressing some of the issues with keeping chimpanzees as pets.
The story was good but not really captivating until the last section. I would have enjoyed it more if it had focused on the relationship between Rosemary and Fern.
An excellent study of what loss does to a family, and of enduring love. I'll not soon forget Fern and Rosemary.

It's very difficult to discuss this book without giving too much away. I've recommended it to friends, but told them they have to trust me on this and I can't tell them anything about the book! You need to discover the characters on your own, otherwise it loses its immediacy. But while the subject matter is often heart-rending, the author manages to inject so much love and humor into her main characters and into their relationships, she leaves the reader loving her characters, too, complete with all their faults and foibles.
