NC officials to announce arts-economy program
Published: Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 9:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 9:53 a.m.
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — The secretary of the state Department of Cultural Resources is making an announcement about a new arts-driven economic development program at the American Tobacco Campus in Durham.
Secretary Linda Carlisle will give details about the SmART Initiative, which will map out ways for communities to use the arts to increase the number of jobs, the quality of life and overall economic growth. Capitol Broadcasting CEO Jim Goodmon will be the chairman of the SmART Initiative Task Force and will also attend the announcement, which is scheduled for Tuesday.
Carlisle appointed the task force in fall 2010 to examine arts-driven economic development in North Carolina and around the country. The N.C. Arts Council will administer the initiative.

If thereâs one certainty that can be relied on in comics, it is the fact that no one is ever truly dead. In no other sub-universe is that more true than in the X-Menâs corner of the Marvel Universe. That said, the collection of deceased mutants chosen to grace the pages of âChaos War: X-Menâ strays away from the obvious âhitsâ of Cable, Sabretooth, and Nightcrawler (maybe this is a portent of resurrections to come?) to offer up a pair of Cuckoos, a handful of Madrox clones, Moira MacTaggart, Banshee, and the original Thunderbird, John Proudstar.
I donât know where my personal affinity for Thunderbird stems from. It might be the old âKeeping America Beautifulâ ad with Iron Eyes Cody, or Apache Chief of âSuper Friendsâ Fame, or even Tonto riding alongside the Lone Ranger, but John Proudstar (and, of late, his little brother James) has been a character Iâve wanted to read more about. Given short-shrift in his âX-Menâ tenure, Thunderbird gets the lead in this comic. Thunderbird serves as the lead to this ragtag bunch who are trying to determine why (and where) they are back among the living.
Claremont and Simonson deliver a story that gives Proudstar a purpose, as he seeks to fulfill a prophecy left behind by Mystiqueâs ally, Destiny. This story gives me hope that there might be life after death. Itâs less a âred skiesâ tie-in to the âChaos Warâ and more a well thought-out tale of post-life superheroic, mythological existentialist struggle, the type of which can only happen in comic books. Clearly, Claremont and Simonson have harbored notions for Thunderbird, and itâs good to see those ideas given wing here.
Braithwaiteâs ethereal pencil work is cleverly matched for the depiction of risen dead mutants. His characters are smartly defined, strong, sharp, and clear, but the line shines through Schwagerâs colors in a manner that gives the book â specifically, the characters â a ghostly appearance, neither on the page nor of it. It certainly helps that the characters arenât heavily inked, almost popping up from the background of their pages.
Iâve seen my share of resurrected heroes, alternate X-Men realities, and retrofitted tales that happened between panel lines, but this story is a refreshing breath of air, a quaint surprise as these characters are released from their crypts to entertain us once more. Of all the âChaos Warâ tie-ins, this one is by far the most enticing.

I don't surf, rather I perpetrate surfing forums and amass quite a bit of anecdotal knowledge in the process. Not related to surfing, but more pertaining to wetsuit design, open-hand striking tactics, contrails, hops & barley, pinning ceremonies, stock options, economy vodka, lacrosse glory day stories, the sham of "pro" surfing, the sham of "pro" American football, genome projects, large sealife creatures as medicine, the fall and subsequent further fall of New Jersey, the perpetual Civil War, how to singlehandedly own both North & South San Diego & Orange Counties, mummification via neoprene, prevalence of bipolar and schizophrenic disorders in surfers, assassinating poultry prior to deep frying it, vacationing in Puerto Rico and Costa Rica, the kingdom of Montauk, beach replenishment, and bad rap music.

Holy crap there have been some funny ones! I was gonna come in all joking but don't think I can live up to you guys origin stories so I will tell the truth. 22 years ago at high school spring break. Rode a early to mid 70's Jim Ovelin single fin. 6'10" pin tail, heavy and beat up as hell. Two of my buddies who were there surfed so after about 6-8 beers I decided I wanted to learn since Point Break had just come out and I wanted to be Bohdi. Took a few days but before the week was out I was standing up and riding. Been surfing ever since.

It all began one summer in sunny southern California. I got a radical orange Morey Boogie at a department store, and my father and I headed to Zuma Beach. I waded out to waist deep water, jumped into white water, and rode it to the beach. 1980's chicks watched from the beach as I rode the whitewater better than any other person to set forth in humble Zuma Beach. Dudes with short shorts and bowl cuts looked on with jealousy......
I came home, after that first session, full of life and excitement. Dirty Deeds played from my stereo as I dried of from showering and admired my genitals. Such fine genitals they were. Ahh, my comfortable Californian ranch home(they withstand earthquakes better) in my comfortable suburban neighborhood, and now I had discovered what was to be my destiny and my world. Surfing's not a sport.... not some hobby....... Though Kasser's Vodka, PCP, ca-caine, and dope tried to derail me from my destiny, but they all failed. Notice I didn't mention THC. THC is good for you, and all real surfers should consume Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannibinol.
Then I started paddling into yet-to-have-broken-waves and dropped straight in and rode to the beach. The dudes turned greener and the girls moistened for Zuma Beach slams on the sandbars and has maimed and disfigured many a poor boy.
Then I really stepped up my game and moved my act to the Oxnard, CA area. Some cholos still speak of that Irish kid who used to ride straight at The Port Hueneme Pier on solid closeout days. At least I think they still do, as I do not speak Spanish. Except, of course, for montega, perrico, piedras blancas and mota.
They used to chant, "MANTEQUILLA...MANTEQUILLA..." as I approached the beach from the pier parking lot. Todd Young, Carter Slade, and Darren Cruz knew a legend was in the making, and I was invited to surf the Strand anytime I wanted to during the coming winter. However, daddy told me one day, "Son, we're moving back to Jersey....."
And I said, " But why, father, why?" And he petted my head and said, " Because mother hates southern California."
And that was that...........

Classic..... some funny crap!
\nI'll just tell the real story cause its so pitiful some may chuckle.
\nAlmost exactly 30 years ago ( I was 8 years old... I'm now 38 for those that don't have a calculator) I was a "husky" little 8 year old and my cousins took me boogie boarding for the first time. One of my cousins had a surfboard and since I like to skate I really wanted to try to surf. He let me use his board a few times and I was hooked! I think I was able to stand up and do the whole white water hop and shuffle till you either fall off or run a ground.
\nSo for that Xmas I asked for $$$ cause I knew my parents wouldn't buy me a $400 surfboard. Yep.... I was going to have to go used. No Craigslist back then so I picked up the ol' Pennysaver. Saw a pawnshop advertising they had surfboards. Ended up buying a 6'4" Randy Richenburg with glassed wooden fins. Oh yeah, it had also been broken in half and repaired. Wasn't repaired real well cause it broke again, and again, and again but I just kept fixing it.
\nSo my dad loved to fish and I loved to surf so he would take us surfing every weekend. Why not? He could fish and drink beer and not have to worry about us bothering him.
\nA few weeks into it we were surfing at the pier while dad was fishing. This is the time he gave me the best advice in my entire life..... He said, " I've been watchin you kids surf and noticed you go straight into the beach. Try goin sideways, I think it will make you go faster."
\nSo with those words of wisdom my surfing abilities instantly skyrocketed! I was now going down the line, full speed ahead. A couple months later I started figuring out the whole turning thing.

Surfboard surfing? 4 years ago. paddled out on my son's old NSP fish. My son's instructions were to paddle, then stand up. I had the leash on my front foot. Belly rode the white wash.
\n6 months later paddled out into the line-up on my very own 8' 6" Ricky Carroll, dropped in on some pretty good surfers, and straight handed it all the way to the beach and felt like the Big Kahuna. I apologize to those I offended in my early days of kookness. The good surfers of CB were kind enough to not slash my tires, or break the windows of my vehicle.

After begging my parents to let me try surfing / rent a surfboard every time we were near a beach (and being told no) as a kid, when I was in my early 20s I stood up in some whitewater on a soft-top (Bic?) rental at Playa de los Cerritos, Baja... Christmas Eve, 2004ish? But then after meeting a bunch of surfer douches (not saying all surfers are, I just happened to meet a bunch of rich, selfish, self-indulgent, hedonistic, obnoxious, useless surfers -' + '- most of whom also happened to be my in-laws) surfing kinda lost its appeal. Then saw my stepson catching 4-5' waves on a bodyboard with no fins, bouncing/flying across the surface of the water, going no-handed while making big turns across the faces, and I was hooked on bodyboarding.
\nHave to say, pretty much all the surfers I meet in the lineup on the East Coast are super nice guys, not at all like my in-laws -' + '- the only annoying person I met was a ~12yo grom in Newport who cut me off when I was on the shoulder of 6-7 nice waves in a row, but he was tearing it up and making such awesome aerial bailouts etc that I really couldn't complain, even when he would follow me no matter how far down the lineup I paddled and wait just inside so he could cut me off again.

Been a long journey.
Grew up spending summer days at the beach, was a boogie boarder as early as I can remember. First it was the all foam boogies, then as we got older we got slick bottom ones that let us ride up on the sand and stand-up skimboard. Riding waves at Jones Beach meant going straight on shorepound waves dodging through think summertime crowds. Back before the internet surf report, can still remember the anticipation of the moment when the ocean appeared above the horizon line made by the sand and the waves first appeared. Big waves and I'd be in the water with my friends all day, flat and we were bummed out playing football on the beach instead. Having no exposure to surf culture, we eventually figured out you were supposed to ride down the line by looking at the photos of dudes shredding big tropical waves that were shoved into the shrink-wrapped boards we would buy from Sports Authority.
Discovered Long Beach, LI at some point in my early teens, where the waves broke on sandbars and people were stand-up surfing. Started bodyboarding there when I could, now wearing fins and trying to get my parents to drive me out when an approaching hurricane was coming.
Being a snowboarder and skater always wanted to surf, but know no surfers and had no $ to buy a board. One day I go to my friends house and he has an 8' G&S in his backyard that his older cousin gave him. Board was completely browned and weighed a ton; the glass all around the tail was completely missing. Took it to my father's garages and filled in the gap with a caulk gun. About 16 yrs old now. Got my mom to drive me to the beach and took a lesson with Unsound Surf. First wave the guy told be to go for, I went, popped up and rode all the way to shore! Tried taking the board out a few more times, could catch waves but would dig the rail in every time I tried to turn down the line - was trying to turn it like a snowboard. Decided it was the board and not me, and next summer went to Aloe Cal Cruz to check out the used board selection. Guy tried to sell me on a thick, beefy shortboard he said would be good for beginners, but it had hot pink glass-ons and I wasn't feeling it. Instead chose a 6'6" chip. Was a bad move, just could not catch waves on that thing, would either nosedive or miss the wave. Towards the end of the summer went back to my bodyboard, decided it was more fun to surf empty lineups and catch waves vs. being corralled in a zoo of a surf zone and having no clue what to do. Went off to college in Boston where I focused on drinking beer and chasing girls, sold board and that was it for surfing for while.
Fast forward to 2008. I'm 18 mos. out of school working for a major investment bank in NYC, making the big bucks. Go to visit my buddy who moved out to San Diego after school. He lived in PB 5 blocks from beach and one day while he was at work I walk into a surf shop and take a lesson with the guy who owns it. Paddle out on 8' softop and rented wetsuit. By the time I finally make it out my arms are toast and I can barely move. Caught some waves and got one where I made it down the line. Guy giving me the lesson was stoked, said it took him 2 yrs to teach his girlfriend how to do that. Next year go to visit my buddy again an rent a board with his roomate. Two kooks riding whitewater clogging up the inside section at PB near the pier. Went home and decided I need to buy a board. 7'10" Bunger funshape from craigslist. Kept it in my parents garage on Long Island and on summer weekends (if I wasn't working) would take train out and drive to beach to kook it up. Still very much a completely clueless, hopeless kook at this point. Become very interested in surfing and start reading up on all kinds of online surf mags while sitting at my desk late at night waiting for my next work assignment. Decide that surfing is a dream that I will accomplish one day, when I can get out of this corporate slave of an existence I am living.
2010, 3 yrs on the job decide that working 90hrs a week on the godforsaken island that is Manhattan just so I could bring home an outsized paycheck and make my parents proud just wasn't worth it. Besides, I only wanted the $ to get chicks, and I already found the one I loved and she cared more about actually spending time with me than me buying her Prada bags or some sh-t. Jumped off a cliff - didn't just leave the job and go to B-school like some friends were doing, didn't look for another job. Decided to go to Brazil solo for two months, traveling around the coast and surfing. That was a blast but a complete other story... came back a semi-competent beginner surfer. Purchased ring, proposed to girlfriend. Also purchased winter surf gear. Spent my time networking, trying to get a few things off the ground, figuring out what the f-ck I'm gonna do with my life now. All the while surfing any time there is a little bump in the water. Eventually find new job that uses skills I like using but much more relaxed work schedule. Much less $ but living on Long Island now and can hit up dawn patrol sessions any time I want. Three years later now, married, different job but have barely missed a swell since I 'really' started surfing 3 yrs ago. Many new friends from surfing, many good memories. Facing big expenses and unknowns now trying to buy a house and start a family in an unreasonable pricey place to live. It's a struggle trying to make it all work and sometimes think about just getting another city job to make the $ issue go away. Can't do it, won't do it, just don't want to. Not worth it for me, can honestly say I'm truly enjoying life and being thankful for each day whereas I used to wake up pissed off all the time. I have to credit a lot of that to surfing.
Anyway still a sort of a kook and a yuppie and probably always will be, but at least now am a competent surfer who doesn't blow (too many) waves and can garner some respect in most line-ups. Still enjoying it as much as I did boogie boarding when I was 8 yrs old. Wouldn't change a thing...

I started surfing around age 10-11 in Virginia Beach. We would usually surf just south of the pier or sometimes the Northend or Sandbridge. We didn't surf 1st Street when we were young beginners. DID YOU HEAR THAT ALL YOU FUNBOARD RIDING OLD NEWBIE KOOKS? WE DIDN'T SURF 1ST STREET, BECAUSE WE HAD RESPECT BACK THEN FOR PEOPLE WHO COULD ACTUALLY SURF AND DIDN'T WANT TO GET IN THE WAY. Once we reached a certain level of ability, then we took our game to other breaks. Have a good day.

\nThis is so on point, every town/county has a break where newbies feel entitled, I payed my dues in shee-it breaks as a grom, didnt step up to bro peak till I knew I wasnt gonna blow it on the takeoff.

I was 11 years old on a hobie twin fin at alabama point. You kinda have to be pretty short and light to be able to surf in the gulf because the waves are so small and weak. It's a good place to learn (inviting tropical temps and clear water in the summer), but, once you start putting on any weigh, you really need to move to the east coast

Two years ago, at age 60, an acquaintance who is an incredible and young surfer, made a stray comment to me, "you could surf" after hearing about my lap swimming. I took 3 lessons,and have been surfing every weekend since then, rain or shine, freezing, big or small. What a blast and it's the fountain of youth for sure. You're never too old to start.

In my Delphi application, I would like to add command line parameters to automatically set some parameters in the login screen.
Currently I have a login screen where the user sets some information (like Server, database, user, password, AuthenticationType, AUtoLogin, ...).
I use MRU to populate the fields. Anyway, in big organizations, there is the need to do not let the user choose any info. For this, the simplest thing I can do in my scenario is to use command line parameters.
My question is how do you suggest to choose the command line parameters? I mean, should I go for a "position" approach or for some "tag" approach, for example:
MyProject.exe -s:MYSERVER -d:DATABASE
MyProject.exe MYSERVER DATABASE
In the first case I need to loop across all parameters using
ParamStr and "decode" what they are. If they start with "-s:" I know that what follows is the server name. The second is more quick and dirty but may be more effective.
How to manage parameters that contain a "space"? Is it possible to automatically intercept them with ParamStr or should I handle all manually? (I mean is there a way to automatically tell to ParamStr that a parameter is containing a space (like using curly brackets or something).
What is the best practice?

Conference Name: Midwestern Criminal Justice Association Meeting
The amount of force police officers use in a given situation has always been grounded in proper training, departmental policy and the proper use of discretion. Changes in recent years have affected the number and type of weapons that officers carry that can be used to counter suspect resistance, or to diffuse potentially violent encounters. This paper will examine how Tasers have impacted the force continuum, as well as how they influence the normal decision-making process an officer uses to determine the level of force necessary in a given situation. Policy and training recommendations will also be presented.

I have 2 classes class First and class Second. There is a method in class Second
public void update(String reading,String writing) {
System.out.println("reading: "+reading);
System.out.println("writing: "+writing);
And this
update() method is called from class First like the following:
classFirst obtains these reading, writing parameters from a third class(lets call it class Third) like the following:
String reading=request.getParameter("reading");
String writing=request.getParameter("writing");
There are some other things but i dont want to go into details. So the problem is whenever there is a reading or writing I get them from classThird and then pass them from
classFirst to
classSecond via the
update() method. However sometimes this
getParameter() method does not return anything and i need to assign the null values to my reading and writing variables in these kind of situations. I want to see the null values in the
ArrayList1-2 in
classSecond whenever
getParameter() method does not return anything.
Could you please help me to do this?

Special education students from Quitman High School got to experience a train ride Friday.
They boarded the train in Laurel and traveled to Meridian.
The ride was a way to teach the students about transportation and help them understand first hand about different modes of travel.
Their teacher says it was a great experience for them.
"In our curriculum, we teach community living skills," said teacher Hope Cooley. "And within that subject area, our students are supposed to have the opportunity to experience a train ride, and what a wonderful way to give them that opportunity."
Nine students were able to participate in the Friday train trip.

Technical Notes
Vivid, crisp and bright, the 2011 Kendall-Jackson Avant Chardonnay continues our nearly three decades of pioneering distinguished varietal wines from California's cool coastal appellations. With flavors that mirror California's fog-laden coastline, this wine achieves a balance of vibrancy and complexity through gentle whole-cluster pressing and fermentation in a combination of neutral oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. The subtle use of neutral oak adds a graceful structure while cool stainless steel fermentation preserves the fresh, intense fruit flavors inherent to Chardonnay grown along the coastline.

When busy Americans weren't hosting guests at home, they were fueling up on-the-go with snacks like filled crackers and portable, high-protein nut butters, noted Susan Viamari, editor of thought leadership ...

Assault of employee reported at Boardman store
A shoplifting incident turned into an assault at Gabriel Brothers in Boardman when the suspect repeatedly pushed a store employee who was attempting to stop the theft.
The suspect and two women came into the store just after 7 p.m. Monday. The women helped pick merchandise and the suspect would then put the items down his pants, according to a Boardman Township Police report.
As the suspect left the store and an employee asked the man to remove the items from his pants. The suspect shoved the employee multiple times and during one cut the employee above his right eye with a watch, according to the report.
The three fled the scene in a silver 2009 Dodge Charger, according to the report.
The suspect was a black man around 25 years old, who stands 5-foot, 9-inches tall and weighs about 220 pounds. He has a tattoo on the left side of this neck.
Stand your ground!
Just trash pushing around someone working for a living.
The usual suspect.
In other news, a 2009 Dodge Charger with three occupants was spotted around 7:30 PM at a known drug house on Youngstown's lower south side.

That scorcher is followed by another equally arousing performance by newcomer, Shay Jordan. The brunette stunner lets Scott Nails drive his flaccid nail into her from seemingly every possible angle.

Great chicken, it had lots of flavor and was tender, moist and juicy. This oven fried chicken was quick and easy to make and it tasted excellent. Made exactly as written but omitted the cumin, personal preference only. This was a lovely dinner served with a simple salad, watermelon wedges, honey and fresh butter muffins. MMMMmmm, I will be making this recipe again and again. Thanks so much for sharing.
I had this for the first time at my sister-in-laws Mom's 80th Birthday party! I have never had better fried chicken in my life!!! I didn't leave until I got the recipe!! I had two plates of it and took two plates home!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CHICKEN, and it couldn't be easier!!
The chicken was moist tasty and delicious. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Easy, delicious and visually appealing. I used two large breasts, so cut back on butter and Ritz crackers (one crushed sleeve), but kept the spice amounts and oven time the same. Worked out great, and the chicken was very tender. Thanks, Cookiemom!
Delicious! My husband raved about it. I used a couple of skinless boneless breasts, about 2 tablespoons of butter and halved all of the other ingredients to make a meal for two. With the adjustments it went into the oven for 20-25 minutes and came out perfect. This ones being printed out to add to my permanent recipe folder.
very good
Great recipe!! Made two big pans of thighs and legs for a church picnic. Received many compliments. Think the ritz crackers make a big difference.
My husband said "I don't know what this breading is, but you need to patent it". Honestly, this is the most raves I've ever gotten over a chicken recipe. I did it with boneless, skinless breasts. Completely addictive.
I just made this for my mom and her husband . They LOVE IT !! I omitted the ritz crackers & added my own blend of spices to the flour and it still came out with a crispy coating like i fried it in a skillet full of grease .... I will be making this for a special someone in the near future. Thx !!!
Easy recipe! Smelling good already. I have them yet!

The Colorado Springs Police Department has an arrest warrant for an identity theft suspect, but needs help tracking her down. Susan Ullery, 27, is wanted for felonies including identity theft, forgery, theft and attempt to influence a public official.
Ullery is a white female, 5-foot-3 and 125 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes. She has two 1.5 inch star tattoos on her forearm. She drives a rented white Chevrolet sedan with Louisiana license plates.
CSPD says Susan Ullery is accused of stealing the identity of someone in Castle Rock.
"I spend hours and hours and hours every day trying to talk to people, to send in affidavits, so they can send information to law enforcement," said Meagan, the victim in this case.
Her car was stolen by an unknown male with several personal documents inside.
Ullery is accused of using those documents to open several credit accounts at retail stores and spent several thousand dollars. She is also accused of opening accounts at five local banks, two under the stolen identity.
Using those bank accounts, Ullery allegedly deposited checks and artificially inflated the balance before withdrawing cash from each bank. Later, the checks she wrote between the accounts and to other businesses bounced.
The total value of the bounced checks and the retail credit expenses is still being calculated.
"There's still credit being issued to these people with my name, even though I had a fraud watch on my credit before that," Meagan said.
If anyone can help CSPD to find Ullery, they are asked to call 719-634-7867. You do not have to give your name and the information dispatchers at 719-444-7000 or Pikes Peak Area Crime Stoppers at could earn a cash reward.

No wonder they signed Starks.The Packers sure kept this one out of the news.Good luck to Franklin.
I want to read someday that you've been elected mayor, Johnathan.
Prayers, and thanks for your efforts brutha!Hide replies
I liked this guy, but sooner or later we were going to have to say "Namaste, good luck."
J. Finley take note. Franklin hasn't made near the money you have but wants to be able to enjoy the rest of his life, not taking a chance to be permanently disabled.Hide replies
Its a personal choice. It is completely up to Jermichael if he wants to try and continue his career.
Finley should take ntoe? The Doctors wouldn't clear Franklin. Finley's ststus is still unknown. Rodgers has had a couple of concussions and Steve Young retired due to concussion. Should Rodgers take note?
it may not be the players' choice.
franklin very well could have been told, "your career is over".
Feel bad for Franklin but he's yet another Thompson draft pick whose career ended due to injury. Really question the Packers medical staffHide replies
get real.
Oh, c'mon. That's ridiculous. How can you possibly blame the medical staff for a guy getting injured in week 12????? Look around the league. Injuries happen to every team and so do career ending injuries.
Given the number of neck injuries suffered by Packers players, it dawns on me the medical staff isn't doing their due dilligence. If these guys have predisposed conditions, you shouldn't pick them
Bring Russell--there is ZERO evidence that any of these guys had pre-existng conditions. You are reaching badly. This is a violent, risky game.
Offensive is weak. I am offended at Vikings for their destroying the Indians in this country through terror and disease. I will let society not my government determine if it is honoring the Norsemen or shaming the Indians and the women who were raped by them. Offensive is not enough. It is bad, but it is not enough. Let society determine. It worked for Sterling to be shamed and removed. (Though he earned a lot for his investment) It will work for the redskins also. I would be more understanding if I did not hear Liberals labeling "black (skin) conservatives" as a way to distinguish from "White (skin) conservatives" while being upset for calling a team "redskins"
C'mon , he got hurt playing the game he loved. The medical staff had nothing to do with any of this. Stop reaching!
you can't do due diligence on a neck injury that isn't there.
to badger in OR: wait, what?
This kid's neck is composed of a bunch of little bone discs with minimal cushioning around them. Pass.
Not sure how you detect an injury before it takes place.
i told you all last week this BringRussel;Back dude was a whack job troll....
I wish him the best. Glad he got an NFL game where he rushed for more than 100 yards. It'll look good on his resume.
Wish him well, and am glad we're pretty deep at RB.
As for his political ambitions, I just hope he's not another far left-winger. I've had my fill of those types who have pushed this country into making everything a big issue.
Take the Redskins name-change fiasco, for instance. Before they start preaching how discriminatory that name is, they should do the research on the origin of the name and how it's been used over the years.
It's another case of a very small group of people looking to create an issue where there is none. My great-grandmother was a full-blooded Erie Indian. I think it's neat that a pro football team has that name.
If anyone disagrees fine, but to file a law suit and for the U.S. patent office to revoke the Redskins rights to that name is an absolute abuse of power. And those phony, lying politicians in Washington who have come out of the woodwork to voice their approval of this garbage are hypocrites. They're the same fat cats who'll be given free tickets and food to attend the Skins' games.
Sorry for the rant, but this crap is getting so ridiculous. If they succeed, look out Fighting Irish, the Raiders, the Pirates, and every other team which has a name which could be twisted into meaning something offensive to some nut case. You're going to be next because these idiots never stop.Hide replies
What about all those far right-wingers? Regardless of your great- grandmother, there are a lot of people who are offended by the Redskin name. The same would be true of a team named the Blackfaces or the Crackers. Your comparisons to the Irish, the Raiders and Pirates are not even comparable.
Then what about the Atlanta Braves. I find the tomahawk chop that the whole stadium does to be the most offensive chant in all of professional sports. Why no big uproar over that?
There has been talk about the tomahawk chop for years. I, for one, find it embrrassing and one of the stupidest things in sports. I could not believe a crazed left winger like Jane Fonda would do the chop when she was married to Ted Turner.
Because the Braves and Indians and Blackhawks and Seminoles are SO much less offensive than Redskins.....
It's pick and choose the flavor of what offends people on a given day. Seems ridiculous to me....but I'm not a native American. As I noted in my first reply, if Snyder gets sick of the flak, changes the name, and picks up and moves to Los Angeles, we'll see how well the native Americans that are protesting this "horrible injustice" are liked by the DC area Hogs.
Hope I didn't offend any Swine with my last comment.....I would hate to have a bacon boycott on my conscience....
Jeff if you and Native Americans find the name Indians so offensive why did the Menomonee Nation name their reservation high school team the Indians?
Sorry NY Pack fan....40 years ago as a kid I was shocked that a mascot like the Washington team was embarrassing and i wondered how that can be "ok". Pirates and Leprauchans are stupid comparison. How about the LA blackskins or the Brooklyn Jews....would those honor black people or jewish people? No. Snap out of it.
PackfanNY - You're going to catch a lot of flak for your comments, but I agree it's gone too far as well. I find it amazing that it's only been offensive for the last few years.....what about the fifty or more before that? I think society has become oversensitive to a football team name.....jeez, don't cheer for them, hate them for the name, whatever......
On the other side, no one likes to be insulted, and if political pressure or copyright battles or whatever are going to end this name, so be it (I'm OK either way, but I hope at sometime we can all get a little thicker skin...see what I did there....). If I was Dan Snyder, I'd say "fine". Pick up the team, change the name, and move them to L.A. The politicos won't have a team anymore and then see how much the DC area fans feel about the native Americans who cost them their team to be politically correct. Or if he wants to stay, just change the name to Skins, keep the logo, and get on with it. Alright everyone, more thumbs down to me and PackfanNY!!!
Start a franchise with the name of "Crackers" and see how pissed I get (insert eye roll here)
I say drop the skins part and call them the Reds
I say drop the red part and call them the skins.
I say drop the R at the beginning and the N-S at the end to make it Edski, then use as the logo a picture of actor Art Carney playing Ed Norton from the Honeymooners.
PackfanNY - Today at 4:11 PM - Report Abuse
Wish him well, and am glad we're pretty deep at RB.
As for his political ambitions, I just hope he's not another far left-winger. I've had my fill of those types who have pushed this country into making everything a big issue.

You mean like BENGHAZI.......BENGHAZI.......BENGHAZI?
let's see- if i walked up to 3 people and called one an "indian", one "irish" and one a "redskin", which one would be offended most?
Would depend on whether you had brushed your teeth and used mouthwash.
Trust me you wouldn't want a professional team part of a Billion dollar industry - called the Whiteskins making money off your heritage if your family was relegated to a reservation over the past 100 years.
Couldn't they just add a tiny bet of yellow so it's more orange, and then call the team the Boehners? I mean c'mon, it's topical and really taps into the whole seat of government theme of DC.
Oh we'll, that's not working...
New settlers would kill native americans and present their "redskins" to the local government for a fee. The term connotes near genocide and massive displacement from their native land. It is offensive to them. There is nothing celebratory or uplifting in the term. it simply refers to the color of their skin.
I think those named for specific tribes or bands like Blackhawks and Seminoles are viewed differently than those more generic terms. If this country had to rename every place named after tribes the map would go through a major shift. I always thought Warriors and Braves were less offensive than Redskins yet they has been banished from a number of teams. Indians is such a generic term, but if you look back through their history you see some unfortunate choices in mascots/logos.
The name will eventually be changed because market forces will force it. In the meantime, gotta love the rampant hypocrisy in Washington, DC as politicians from both parties, who have accepted free tickets and gone to Redskin games for years, have suddenly found the moral high ground.
what difference does it make how they arrived at the high moral ground, as long as they're at the high moral ground?
the owner of the redskins has no intention of "ever" changing the name, because he's not at that high moral ground.
No, it is because the term is not offensive to the vast majority of Native Americans and nothing in how the name or logo is used conveys anything native. The term is used respectfully just as the term Warriors was used. Moral high ground. Sure.
it's not?
walk down the street and call every native american you see a "redskin".
see how that goes over.
it's a SKIN COLOR.
saying it's the same thing as a "warrior" couldn't be further from the truth. a "warrior" doesn't have to be an indian. it's a fighter/protector within a sect/tribe/clan.
a "redskin", well, has red skin.
it's not being used out of respect. it's being used out of arrogance, ego and money, nothing more.
wait. is PackfanNY claiming no right wing, GOP supportin', folks ever get offended???
i'll bet a number of the Right are in favor of a name change for the Redskins.
Situational morality. The bedrock of our system. Just take a poll and then decide what you believe in, right?
it's not about polls, kc.
walk down the street and test your "redskins" name theory by calling native americans that name to their face.
let me know how that goes.
pb. It wasn't my theory, it was yours. Do you get so lost in your own posts that you forget what you said?
i would also add it's kind of weird and in poor taste, to use this forum about a young man's injury to shoehorn in your ignorant, political viewpoint, regarding the racist name of a football team 1000 miles away.
Why would anyone call a person a redskin and how are the Washington franchise doing that? The moral minority strikes again.
The term redskin is being used respectfully. They polled native americans and very few were offended.
my theory?
my theory is exactly it's a racist and derogatory nickname that should have been replaced long ago.
that's my theory, which is not a theory, it's a reality.
your theory seems to be to let the people not doing anything about it continue to not do anything about it.
packmandave/oneida66/The Bullseye- there is nothing respectful about calling someone by the color of their skin.
You posted the goofy "theory" of what would happen if you walked down the street and called folks different names. That's a poll by any other name. I expressed concern over the legal issue and the hypocrisy of pols in DC. Pretty typical though. You post something that makes little or no sense, get called on it, forgot you posted it and then wander off in different directions. I guess that works if you work alone at night and live alone in the woods and never have to deal with non-comatose humans.
would you call an anonymous native american a "redskin" to his face?
behind his back?
yes or no.
if no, why not?
if yes, say no more.
it's obvious you don't understand the legal issue. i guess that works if you're an old, out of touch simpleton who thinks it's 1945.
it's LEGAL for the US Patent and Trademark Office to rescind ANY trademark they deem to be offensive and derogatory.
stop acting like they've done something illegal.
it's within their right.
deal with it.
as for the moral issue, it's absolutely appalling anyone would side with an arrogant, egotist like daniel snyder at the expense of equality and humanity.
i guess that works for you, too.
by the way, nice job in staying steady with immature insults. for one who criticizes others for insults, no one throws as many as you.
stay mature, kc.
lol. 4 consecutive posts to stop sputtering and an admonition to stay mature after tossing in some reference to old simpletons. You're just too easy.
who's sputtering?
i haven't changed my stance one bit.
meanwhile, you refuse to answer the question. one simple, little question.
would you call a native american a "redskin" to his face?
and yes, you are a simpleton, kc.
lol once again as you simply have nothing other than to call names once again. One must keep it simple to respond to your one track simplistic but disjointed pronouncements. I guess it's true that you haven't really changed your stance; head firmly planted up yours.
they're only disjointed to you.
stop avoiding the question-
would you or would you not call a native american a "redskin" to his face?
Why would anyone respond to a question from an anonymous blogger who does nothing but call others names as he sits alone at 1:00am.
you won't answer the question because you will be a hypocrite when you do.
nice copout.
I was wondering if anyone standing outside of a meat packing plant would call people walking out that they've never met "Packers." Look up the etymology of the word and you'll learn something interesting. Spdif an is completely wrong in his assertion about presenting red skins or scalps. The term actually originated from native Americans as a term to differentiate themselves from white men. The word actually went through two other languages before it came back into English. It may have since come to be offensive to some native Americans, but it was not created as an offense - it was just taken as one by some people, which begs the question - if people are offended by something they don't understand, is it actually offensive, or are those who are offended just ignorant?
given the bizarre secrecy surrounding the injury since last season, it would've been a jaw dropper had he been back in uniform this season. football has become modern-day gladiator. best of luck to all who choose to take it to the ultimate level.
Very unfortunate and feel badly for him. Another reminder of why no one should complain when players move on for more money.
What a shame. Such a talented kid and it's all due to McDoufus having a kid who had never returned a kick in his life, return kicks. What a dope.Hide replies
you really are a dumas
I agree with everything Ray said about Franklin, except for the part where he somehow blamed MM. I especially agree with the line where he called himself a dope
I feel bad for Franklin. He never really got a chance. I wish him the best.Hide replies
Sorry, accidentally thumbed you down.
Should be thumbs-up.

Instead, he was manhandled several times by his stonily silent nanny before being picked up, flung roughly against the mobile hanging above his cot so that he banged his head, and smacked hard on the bottom three times, making his body shake. After Mom reports it to police. Six days later, his Nanny was arrested!

Talk:Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen/GA1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GA Review[edit]
|GA toolbox
Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
Reviewer: Grandiose (talk · contribs) 11:03, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- Citation needed tags must be fulfilled;
- Refs 16 and 18 have dead links and should be updated or replaced.
- If "Criticism of Australian Federal Police tipoff" is indeed relevant to Tan Duc Thanh Nguyen- who is not mentioned - this needs to be made clearer or the section removed if not;
- The English should be tightened - the use of so many quotations gives the article a journalistic rather than encyclopedic tone - for example the "Sentencing and appeal" section. Also, there are some small mistakes, for example ";.".
- The lead should be a little longer - it needs to provide an adequate summary per WP:LEAD)
- The article ought to say more about the man personally - but this sort of thoroughness is not required under the GACR
- I'm also worried about some bias against the Indonesian authorities. Much is made of his appeals, and that of the Australian government. There is little from Indonesia in this regard. A few tweaks, such as a corresponding quotation or the Indonesian side of the story from a native newspaper would be sufficient.
- The infobox should be updated.
- I also raise the same image problems Jezhotwells did at Talk:Andrew Chan/GA1. Under a life imprisonment, he won't be dead any time soon.
- Placing on hold for 7 days so these problems can be fixed. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 11:03, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
- Failing per 7 day wait and comments made at the nominator's talk page which amount to a withdrawal. Once the issues have been fixed, feel free to nominate the article again - there is no minimum period for good faith nominations. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 14:34, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Erik, Very well written. Honest, sensitive and thought provoking.
Wow. I always feel a little sad whenever I realize that a songster or other talent from my childhood has entered his/her twilight years. Until that point, it seemed as if they were just "always there" and would be forever. This is how I feel about Glen Campbell. I remember the late 1960s and '70s when he was at his highest point and I was just a young Beloit kid in the family station wagon singing along with him on WLS out of Chicago. To a 11- or 12-year-old girl, Campbell was also the object of one's first celebrity crush. Sure, the guy had a long struggle with the bottle, but when his songs came on he was still "always there". I caught a 10-second glimpse of Campbell while channel-surfing the other night. The show appeared to be one of those honoring a celebrity for growing older and still being with us. I was not aware of Campbell's diagnosis and surfed on to another channel. After learning of his status through this concert review, I now wish I'd settled in for awhile and watched that celebrity goodbye on TV. But in my short glimpse of Campbell that night, the thought of his always "being there" touched me briefly as I moved on. Now, I realize, there will come a day when he and other talents from my childhood won't be "always there" anymore. I wish Mr. Campbell and his loved ones as many good days ahead as possible. And, I thank him for being "always there".
I can't stop listening to his last album - Ghost on the Canvas. It's just awesome. I wish I knew he was in Milwaukee. I would have loved to see him.
We saw the concert last night. The man can still sing and play - what a beautiful voice - but it was painful to watch his agitation. His family handled it beautifully, though, and the music was lovely.
Rhinestone Cowboy was the first 45 I ever owned. Such a talented man. One of my all time favorites. Wish I could have made this show. So great that his family is there for him when he needs them to be.
OMG, i recall "Glenn" doing shows at the Old "Hitch'n Post on west Central (route 66) in Albuquerque (my hometown) but remember too the Glenn Campbell Hour fondly as well. Moreover, i saw him @ the ole Bing Crosby clambake one year and he was indeed a crowd favorite always playing up to the gallery in a most genuine way. The way he presented & performed his timeless tunes reflect greatly on him and his character that he possesses and generously gives. Thanks for the memories Glenn and for your lasting tunes beautifully sung.
If you like his music, "Ghost On The Canvas" is a great buy. Not many like him.
Oh boy. A voice from my youth. I always felt so carefree and happy while listening to his songs. God bless he has family to help him onwards towards his final journey.
Time to go onto You Tube and listen to "Southern Nights." Love those short shorts from the early 70s...
I second Lukas7. Beautifully written review Eric.!
Very nice review...couldn't have said it better myself.
This show was incredible. I have never been hit by so many emotions during a concert in my life-the closest being a CSNY show 6 months to the day fo 9/11, hearing Neil Young play "Let's Roll". Growing up being forced to listen to country music, I never thought I'd have such affection in my 40's to these old artists. The night was filled with nostalgia for me, happy thoughts of an easier time in my life--singing along enjoying seeing an icon still having fun performing, admiration for an artist who has still has mad skills on a guitar, sadness for his diminished capacity and frustration during show, amazement and pride for his children who "took care of him during the show", enjoyment of watching the non-family members in the band really loving being up there playing Glen's music and watching them look at Glen in admiration. This concert will stay with me for a long time...Truly the most emotion provoking performance I've seen. Thank you, Mr. Glen Campbell...we all wish you the best.

They are gorgeous! They look fantastic! Well made and heavy, they are everything I could have wanted. The navy is room darkening, but it doesn't make the room look dark in color. I now have these in 2 rooms because they are so perfect!
