Chimdi ChekwaDB MIA (8) 1 year ago
Chekwa has signed with the Raiders, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
Chekwa, who had signed with the Patriots in March, returns for another stint with Oakland, where he notched 16 tackles in 10 games in a backup cornerback role with the Raiders.
Chimdi ChekwaDB MIA (8) 1 year ago
The Patriots have released Chekwa, the team's official site reports.
In the wake of parting ways with starters Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner, it would seem as though retaining cornerback depth would be a priority for the Patriots, but the team has also waived Kyle Arrington and Alfonzo Dennard this offseason. Look for further moves by New England to address the situation in the coming months.
Chimdi ChekwaDB MIA (8) 1 year ago
The Patriots have signed Chekwa to a one-year deal, ESPN.com reports.
Chekwa, who recorded 16 tackles in 10 games for the Raiders this past season, figures to slot in as a depth cornerback for the Patriots, who are now looking to replace both Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner.
Chimdi ChekwaDB MIA (8) 2 years ago
Raiders re-signed exclusive rights free agent CB Chimdi Chekwa.
Chekwa appeared in 15 games last season but played just 169 defensive snaps. He has the wheels (4.33 forty) but is just a special teamer, where he racked up six tackles in 2013.
Chimdi ChekwaDB MIA (8) 4 years ago
Raiders signed CB Chimdi Chekwa off their practice squad.
24-year-old Chekwa was a fourth-round pick in 2011, under the Al Davis regime. At 6-foot, 190, Chekwa ran 4.33 and 4.37 forty times at the Combine two Februaries ago. He'll likely close out the season playing special teams.
Chimdi ChekwaDB MIA (8) 4 years ago
Raiders waived CB Chimdi Chekwa.
A fourth-round pick last season, Chekwa was no longer under scholarship in Oakland, and will look to continue his career elsewhere. The Raiders signed DB Phillip Adams, LB Keenan Clayton and OT Willie Smith in corresponding moves.
Chimdi ChekwaDB MIA (8) 5 years ago
Raiders placed CB Chimdi Chekwa (hamstring) on injured reserve, ending his season.
With Chris Johnson (groin) also injured, the Raiders couldn't afford to wait for Chekwa's hamstring to heal. Per Pro Football Focus, the fourth-rounder graded out well-below average as a fill-in starter in two games this season. He'll return as a reserve in 2012.
Chimdi ChekwaDB MIA (8) 5 years ago
Raiders signed No. 113 overall pick CB Chimdi Chekwa to a four-year, $2.48 million contract.
A Big Ten star in track and field, Chekwa fits owner Al Davis' speed mandate at corner. He's an interesting project for new DBs coach Rod Woodson, likely starting his career on special teams.

Ian, i like your collection and i put it with my favourites.
Greetings from Belgium, Jacques
Mon Cher Jaques, I am sorry that I missed responding to your comment here earlier. I will try to ensure that I provide good photos covering a diversity of subjects so that you are not disappointed by choosing this gallery as one of your favourites. I went to thank you too for the uploads of photos from your home community. I passed by where you live once during a snow storm and that was all I remember of your neighbourhood, so it is good to visit through your photos. Sincere greetings from Sydney.. Ian
Nice capture! I just love good photos taken in bad weather.
Thanks for the visit and the compliment, wjaz. This was a very memorable moment during a delightful afternoon. I look forward to exploring your album. Kind regards from Sydney,
I love this, Ian.
The falling hail softens the road in the distance, and the majestic snowy peaks, with the winding road and all the vertical trees drawing the eyes up towards them, saying : "Look at our majesty and be humbled, you tiny earthling".
Warm wishes, Hazel
Dear Hazel,
It was a very special afternoon. Not often do I travel alone, exploring, poking into nooks and crannies of the landscape, but this was one of those days. The passing hail storm was an added blessing.
Margaret was attending a conference in Denver, and I was attending to the majestic with my camera.
I have just unpacked the computer after a few days of unpacking, and enjoying a forced rest having torn a back muscle while storing some oversized boxes last night.
very nice shot!
Thanks nctm for your appreciation. Ian
Amazing photo and place! L

Paying off old collection
Hi there,
In college I was really stupid with credit. I opened 2 cards in 2004-2005 with $2000-3000 limits and one with $300 limit, maxed them out and eventually went into collections. I also had a medical account go into collections in 2008 and was paid off right away. That was 5-6 years ago, and I have since made some payments. I am looking to purchase my first home, I have a FICO score of 688 and Experian score of 660, I make 38k/year and have 2+ years of timely payments...
I am now settling these really old collection accounts because I was told by my bank that I have to have these completely paid off before a mortgage broker will even talk to me. These accounts will be settled by 10/31/12... how badly will paying these of affect my score? How long should I wait before working on a mortgage loan?
Some people say paying these collection accounts will in essence reset them on my credit report and they will now stay on for an additional 7 years. Will they still be timed off my report in the next 12-24 months or will they now remain for another 6-7 years? Since the original creditor information will fall off, the collection count should fall off too right?
Do I have any hope?!?!?
Thanks to anyone who can answer some questions!

Signal Peak Ventures recently released its 2012class of the Top 100 Venture Entrepreneurs in Utah, also referred to as the v100. Brigham Tomco, CEO of Zylun, was included on the list of emerging entrepreneurs for the second consecutive year. To determine this listof top entrepreneurs, Utah business and academic leaders nominate "individuals who are most likely to lead a successful startup venture in the next five to seven years in the IT (information technology) or biotech industries," according to Signal Peak Ventures. Nominees then vote amongst themselves to select those with the greatest potential to start and grow new businesses. About Signal Peak Ventures Signal Peak Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in information technology and life science companies headquartered in the Rocky Mountain region. With offices in Utah and New Mexico, it has over $450 million of committed capital under management.

The Philippines has made headlines over the past few weeks for its continual growth as a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) destination. The Philippines was ranked as the best country in the world in speaking business English, and Businessweek recently published an article showing that foreign investment in the Philippines is growing, which is one sign of a healthy and growing economy, with much of that growth in BPO industries. In a recent study by GlobalEnglish Corporation, the Philippines ranked first in speaking business English, above even the United States. Speaking business English is a crucial skill for successful BPO, and both cultural influences and structural elements have helped the Philippines rise to the top in English language ability. Last year, the Philippines surpassed India as a call center destination, no doubt due in part to this aptitude for speaking English, and BPO is growing in many other sectors in the Philippines, including programming, web development, and graphic design outsourcing. As we have previously noted on our blog, the Philippine government has made fostering BPO a priority since it brings good jobs to the Philippines, allowing Filipinos to work in their own country rather than needing to seek work abroad. It seems these efforts by the government are bearing fruit....Learn More
Zylun has been instrumental in helping businesses increase their productivity and reduce their costs through its staffing model. With this model, it has enabled Zylun's clients to hire teams working from Zylun's Class A office space in the Philippines and it has allowed them to have control over staff selection and work ethic. Zylun has made a great impact on companies that would like to have the competitive edge in their industries yet not utilizing a lot of their resources on employee costs. Zylun's clients have been very satisfied with this model, but Zylun is always seeking for ways to be more competent and efficient. Part of working with Zylun is being able to scale in an effective and simple manner. Recently, Zylun has decided to switch to an outsourcing partner model on some of its services such as live chat and call center support to better serve its clients. This change will shorten the recruitment process in finding the right employees. For live chat and customer support, Zylun will provide coverage for clients and will train and manage the agents rather than the client. This adjustment will significantly help Zylun's clients because their needs will be met in a simpler and faster way. Zylun provides experienced, college educated...Learn More

Twitch Film and Movies.com once again present the International Trailer Domination Tour, a selection of the best trailers from upcoming international films. Up this week we've got the follow up to Fantastic Fest hit New Kids Turbo, a double shot from Denmark, an Indian superhero and impressive arthouse drama from Indonesia.
1. The Dancer by Ifa Isfansyah, Indonesia
We begin in Indonesia with Ifa Isfansyah's sophomore feature The Dancer. Isfansyah is considered one of the leaders of Indonesia's young generation of filmmakers and it's easy to see why with this one, The Dancer showing an unusual ability to set a small scale intimate story – it's a star-crossed romance at it's core – against a much larger, more epic backdrop. The production values are top notch, the performances look excellent, and the film has just the right balance of drama, action and exoticism to make it a hit on the festival circuit.
2. ID:A by Christian E Christiansen, Denmark
Denmark's Christian E Christiansen scored a minor Hollywood hit with The Roommate early this year and he's headed back to Denmark to build on that success with action-thriller ID:A. The film boils down to a spin on amnesia / forgotten identity motifs, revolving around a woman who wakes up in a river badly injured and not knowing who she is or why she is in possession of a bag full of money and a gun. Cue action. Christiansen looks to pull it all off with style in the brand new theatrical trailer.
3. Ra.One by Anubhav Sinha, India
The Indian holiday of Diwali is rapidly approaching and that means it's big movie season in the nation that produces more movies than any other in the world. And in the upcoming clash of big stars and big budgets none looms larger than Anubhav Sinha's high octane superhero picture Ra.One. Shah Rukh Khan stars as a wholly original Indian superhero in the film that aims to be a local answer to the high polish gloss of Hollywood's Marvel backed hero flicks. And it just might do it.
4. Beast by Christoffer Boe, Denmark
Denmark's Christoffer Boe has, in my opinion, long been one of the most intriguing and underrated directors on the global scene. Boe has a gift for twisting genre conventions and working them into his stories in surprisingly realistic ways and, as a result, tends to be overlooked by arthouse fans who find him to weird and by genre fans who find him too arthouse. I just find him brilliant. His latest effort casts Nicolas Bro and Nikolaj Lie Kaas as the male prongs of a love triangle on the verge of getting nasty with Bro nursing a hatred that threatens to explode in violence.
5. New Kids Nitro by Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil, The Netherlands
Fantastic Fest audiences got a tasste of the New Kids phenomenon this year with the sketch comedy troupe's debut feature New Kids Turbo winning much love at the festival. It's a parade of relentless stupidity, basically, the troupe's five members playing a quintet of losers pretty much embodying all that was bad about the nineties with their misbehavior eventually resulting in government backed military strikes against them and all out warfare. It's hysterically funny and so popular that it smashed Dutch box office records and so, of course, they're now back with a sequel. Bigger and more tasteless than last time out New Kids Nitro looks like every bit as much fun as the first one.
The International Trailer Domination Tour is compiled from the pages of Twitch where international films are a specialty. Keep up with everything around the globe by visiting Twitch on the web, finding Twitch on Facebook or following Twitch on Twitter.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
And it needs a home. Any takers?
Warning: People who use the phrase "playing the race card" need not apply to the following post. I guess that rules out, y'know, our entire political class, but oh well. Anyway, a trio of recent pieces have taken on the issue of race in contemporary superhero comics and movies.
Perhaps the most high-profile of the three pieces is Chris Sims's essay on "the racial politics of regressive storytelling" for Comics Alliance. Sims argues that DC Comics' current penchant for restoring the Silver Age versions of Green Lantern, the Flash, the Atom, the Legion of Super-Heroes and so on has the unintentional but regrettable effect of pushing their successors — in many cases, non-white characters created to replace their slain or off-stage white predecessors — to the sidelines. While he's quite clear that he doesn't believe Geoff Johns or any of the other writers or editors involved are motivated by racial animus, he laments the way in which several decades' worth of minority characters are now becoming "footnotes" in the race to create comics that evoke the creators' and readers' memories of their childhood favorites. I'm sympathetic to the obvious truth in Sims's argument — replacing Ryan Choi with Ray Palmer, for example, does indeed "whiten" the Atom concept once again. But as I wrote in an essay on my own blog, I think the blame lies not with Johns and his Rebirths and Brightest Day and so on, but with the creators who, instead of creating strong non-white characters out of whole cloth like Luke Cage or Storm or Black Panther, simply put new guys in the old guys' outfits, thus all but inviting readers to think of them as substitutes and pine for their original favorites.
Even though we live in a golden age of reprints, there are still deserving comics that, for one reason or another, fail to get collected, translated, or reprinted in nice, shiny, new books. This monthly column is dedicated to those books that, we feel, need another round in the spotlight.
The welcome return of artist Brendan McCarthy to the world of comical books with Spider-Man: Fever got me thinking about how most of the comics he's done (mostly with Collect This Now's patron saint Peter Milligan) are sadly out of print. That's a shame, as his bibliography contains a lot of great work that deserves re-examination, including Rogan Gosh, Paradax and the topic of today's column, Skin.
One of the more interesting things about Skin actually is that it had a bit of trouble getting published initially. Originally Skin was supposed to be published in 1990 in Crisis, a spin-off of the classic British anthology series 2000 AD. The printers refused to handle it, and the publisher got cold feet, and it didn't end up seeing the light of day until 1992, when Kevin Eastman's Tundra press released it with little fanfare.
What made so many of these fine folks reluctant to print the comic? Well, for one thing, it could have been the subject matter. You see, Skin is about a Thalidomide baby. More specifically, it's about a Thalidomide kid who's a skinhead, has sex with hippies and eventually ends up getting revenge on the people who made the drug by going after them with an ax. (oops, spoilers!)
When I first saw the solicitation for Marvel's upcoming Captain America: Who Won't Wield the Shield? one-shot, I thought it was just another Deadpool parody comic. But while Deadpool does make an appearance — or the Golden Age version, anyway — he's not the only character making fun of Captain America. The book will feature a new Forbush Man story written by Jason Aaron, a Doctor Strange/Captain America mash-up by Matt Fraction and the previously mentioned Golden Age Deadpool tale by Stuart Moore. Marvel.com talked to all three writers about their stories.
"Dr. Stephen Rogers, transformed by the Super-Satan formula into the pentagram-bespangled sentinel of the arcane, Doctor America," Fraction said. "On behalf of the Undergovernment he goes mano eeeee mano with Richard Milhous Manson, aka the sinister Red Dick, and his genocidal assistant Bebe Rebeyonder to save the soul of the swinging, sinister, '60s."
Fraction's tale, appropriately, will be drawn by Brendan McCarthy, as you can see to the right. OK, now I wish I'd pre-ordered this …
One of the biggest problems with comics these days is that Brendan McCarthy simply isn't making enough of them.
The UK artist, known mainly for his inspired and frequently surreal collaborations with writer Peter Milligan during the 1980s and 90s, (most notably Skin and Rogan Gosh) hasn't produced any sequential art since his mind-bending issue of Solo (fittingly the last issue in that late, lamented series) six years ago, a comic which in itself marked a lengthy hiatus. In between those periods, McCarthy has opted instead to mostly work on various television and movie projects like Reboot, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies and most recently a potential fourth Mad Max sequel.
Thankfully Marvel is about to change all that. The company that Disney bought has enlisted McCarthy to write and draw Spider-Man: Fever, a three-issue limited series starring the wall-crawler and Dr. Strange that will arrive in stores this April (or at least the first issue will).
I talked to McCarthy over email about the new series and the challenges it offered.
Comics Alliance scored themselves an exclusive preview of writer-artist Brendan McCarthy's upcoming Spider-Man/Doctor Strange miniseries/voyage into prime Ditko psychedelia, Spider-Man: Fever. I hear that if you press play on The Dark Side of the Moon when you open the cover, it syncs up perfectly.
You can breathe, breathe in the air from Doc's Sanctum Sanctorum when the book hits this April.
(Via Douglas Wolk)
I've been waiting for this one for awhile … Marvel.com released an early look at the Spider-Man solicits for April, and I'm ecstatic to see that Brendan McCarthy's Spider-Man mini-series is kicking off then. Here's the solicitation text:
SPIDER-MAN: FEVER #1 (of 3)
Written by BRENDAN MCCARTHY
Pencils & Cover by BRENDAN MCCARTHY
One of comics' most innovative and original voices, Brendan McCarthy, brings SPIDER-MAN: FEVER — a truly unique and surreal story evoking the classic Silver-Age psychedelia of Steve Ditko's Dr Strange. In FEVER, Spider-Man is abducted by a depraved tribe of spider-demons to a bizarre dimension, where he is to be eaten alive. Dr. Strange goes on a perilous occult quest to rescue his friend — and tangles with some very peculiar characters along the way…
32 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99
Mark Kardwell shares with us an "idea sketch for a 'Coming Soon" type of advert" for Fever, the upcoming Dr. Strange/Spider-Man miniseries written and drawn by Brendan McCarthy. This Marvel Knights series is due in April, McCarthy told Kaldwell.
Brendan McCarthy shares a "what might have been" moment — a comic he pitched to DC called Delinquent Jimmy Olsen. Click the link and go read about it; it sounds insanely cool.
Although you've probably already seen Brendan McCarthy's " script doodles" on an old Doom Patrol script from Grant Morrison, as Rich included them in his column last week, McCarthy shares them and some news on his Dr. Strange/Spider-Man project on his site:
"My Spider-Man/Dr Strange story is now at the half way point. It's a three issue mini-series that will appear under the Marvel Knights banner, probably in the early summer. It's been great fun drawing and writing the series, and Marvel seem to love what I'm creating so far. I'm coloring the book with Steve Cook, who designed the SWIMINI PURPOSE book for me a few years ago.
If Fantagraphics can't have Dr. Strange, as Eric Reynolds suggested in August, this is equally as awesome.
McCarthy says he can't show any art from the book yet, but he does share this piece, proclaiming he's from the lineage of Ditko:

How many times my sons father can take me back to court to amend the order?
Ok a little background: we were together for 2 yrs.father has a history of drug abuse and violence. We had a child, we broke up and he took off to his home state and that was it, 8 months go by and I hear nothing....then I got served with papers for visitation. The first lawyer I hired(from what I know now) didnt do very much for his money. I had enough evidence(affidavits, his admission that that whole summer he was in a rehab program, the fact that he took off and didnt even bother with his son UNTIL I took him to court for child sup) I wanted to go before the judge, but my lawyer wanted to make an agreement which I never felt comfortable with. he would come to my state twice a month mon-wed, and the visitation would be supervised by his parents(who I only met twice and have no relationship with my son).
This agreement went well for about two months. Then I suppose the stress of travel and money factors started getting to him,He told me he" did not have the money to do this anymore" so everytime he was here he would call me repeatedly and text me (calling me names...why wont I meet with him etc...mind you when he wasnt in town...not one phone call to check on his son)) so I have a total of 3 police reps on this. then my son came home from visits with his father on 3 sep occasions with what looked like cig burns on him. I took him to ER and cps was called. they visited me and deemed my home acceptable etc... a gal was appointed.
This woman submitted a report to the court after interveiwing ONLY my ex and his parents. she called me on the phone and did not even interveiw my parents, or my new husband...who have direct contact with my son everyday. Her report seemed to have an overtone that she believed these manipulative people.
My new lawyer had put in for an amendment of the temp order pending the cps outcome. she asked for supervised by me at a playground for a couple hrs twice a month. and in response HE ASKED FOR FULL CUSTODY???!!!! When it came back unfounded on the cps side, the judge ordered that the original order stay the same and that I be granted the restraining order even though this terrible GAL said she didnt think the phone calls were harassment (after 3 police reports...and not even hearing my side of the situation).The only thing he is stating against me in his affidavits is that I "abuse" (which I do not) prescription pain killers.... Which I am legally prescribed to take...even so it still worries me, his parents have alot of money and it seems as if they wont stop until my 2 yr old son is taken 7 hours away from me!
OK so here is my Qs:
When deciding a case like this does the judge take into consideration that the father voluntarilly left the state where there child was born/resides.
this GAL.....did she only come on for one incident or am I stuck with her?
How many times can he take me back to court to amend this order?
he claims that I have to be there for visitation exchanges, but I feel threatened by him, and not only that I go to school full time and have a class at the time i drop me son off(my mother takes him to exchanges) this enrages my ex because he wants to see me.
if the court oder say supervision is to be by paternal grandparents...and only one of his parents are with him, do I have to give my child to them?

re: How many times my sons father can take me back to court to amend the order?
Who asked for the GAL or did the courts request one? Mine interviewed NUMEROUS people on my daughters father side - and just me. ??? Maybe this is the "norm"? Bullcrap is what I think. If you asked for the GAL, you can also have the GAL released.
Yes, him moving out of state is NOT good and will not be looked at positively.
Filing for child support is the quickest way to get drawn into a HUGE expensive legal battle that could rack up more in legal fees than you'll get in child support (Live and learn - but I hope others learn BEFORE filing).
I think he can take you back to court every six months from a final order.
You should be able to use intermediaries for the exchange. If this becomes hard for your mother - there are services where exchanges are done by volunteers in an environment where the parents don't see each other.
I'd let the visit go on with one grandparent...if anything, to show you are not "nitpiking".

Been watching CMC over the last few months and it seems to counter the DOW's direction more often then not. Today, the DOW is up well over 1%, but CMC is down almost 1%. Thought maybe it's the Steel sector, but Nucor is up .20%. Is it due to profit takers or something else?

Hello Color Monday!
Even though the fall season is soon to be upon us, we're hanging on to the warmth of summer and the sweetness of the lighter color palettes that go with it. Today's palette includes: watermelon, flamingo, sherbet, lemonade and lime. Light and fresh, these punchy mid-tones are sure to give your wedding look an artsy touch. Stir in some DIY signage and parasol props {btw, don't miss this DIY post that features a ton of parasols, hand-painted with cute messaging} and voila: super fun look and feel.
The featured wedding Thank You Card design in this board comes from the Square Motif Stationery Suite. The formality of the damask pattern in the squares is gently tempered with the light, casual feel of these playful colors.
Tell us, what are your wedding colors?
For allowing us to use their photography, much thanks to:

1) Is it possible to reset the form upon hitting submit? For example, if I have radio buttons and I choose something, it stays chosen after results are returned, and I HAVE TO choose something else within the same radio group. This shouldn't be so IMO.
2) Why does this plugin not use search.php for search results as "advance wp query filter does" ? I do not get my custom messages for results or for no results, as I did when using AWPQSF.
3) Feature request: care to add a number range folder, i.e. FROM and TO textboces? This would make it complete as far as filering goes.

NEW YORK — If Anderson Cooper were anchoring today the same 10 p.m. CNN newscast slot he inherited in 1995, executive producer Charlie Moore has no doubt what it would be like. "Obsolete," he said.
Instead, Cooper and Moore have fashioned a program that's one part breaking news and one part "truth-telling" squad and it is building momentum. Through early June, "Anderson Cooper 360" had an average audience of 859,000 people, or 20 percent above 2010, the Nielsen Co. said. Within the younger demographic on which CNN bases its ad sales, the increase is 46 percent. Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteren has twice the audience at that time slot, but has gone down 16 percent in a year.
It's impossible to tell how much Cooper's improvement is due to a busy year in news — the Japanese tsunami, Arab uprisings, deadly tornadoes and Osama bin Laden killing — and how much it is because of a sharper focus provided by his "Keeping Them Honest" segments.
The show is on top of big news when it happens, and Cooper has been on the scene in Japan, Egypt and Joplin, Mo. But news producers have to work with the assumption that most people know the headlines by 10 p.m. ET and want something more when they tune in on a slower day, Moore said.
Cooper's use of the phrase "keeping them honest" dates back four or five years, but has been emphasized most heavily in the past year. In a politically polarized time, he said he's struck by how many public figures make claims with little evident regard for accuracy. Cooper's team tries to cut through the maze of dubious reports in the same way news organizations deconstruct claims made in political advertising.
The task is simple but important at a time when Fox and MSNBC offer so many commentators with clear political points of view, he said.
"I'm not an opinion person," Cooper said. "I'm not interested in being a conservative anchor or a liberal anchor, a Republican anchor or a Democratic anchor. I'm much more interested in trying to look at things at multiple angles and trying to walk in other people's shoes and understand things from a different vantage point."
Producers who think it's enlightening to put two people with opposing viewpoints together and let sparks fly frustrate him.
Last November, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota claimed on Cooper's show that President Obama's trip to Asia would cost taxpayers $200 million a day. Cooper picked apart the bogus story the next night, finding it originated from one anonymous person quoted on an Indian news service. The New York Times' Thomas Friedman said Cooper "did the country a favor."
Another key moment for Cooper was when U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas claimed terrorists were sending women to the United States to have babies that are U.S. citizens who would leave the country and come back decades later to sow destruction. Cooper said he couldn't find anyone in the FBI aware of this, and asked Gohmert to outline what he knew.
"You're attacking the messenger," an angry Gohmert said. "Anderson, you're better than this. You used to be good."
Replied Cooper: "I've offered you the opportunity to present some form of evidence and you've presented nothing."
Over several months the show spent considerable time on the birther issue, bringing forth a series of state lawmakers seizing on doubts about President Barack Obama's birth certificate. Since nothing Cooper said seemed to satisfy the doubters, it eventually bordered on tiresome television. That also highlighted an occasional weakness of the feature: picking on easy targets.
Cooper said he believed the birthers he featured were public officeholders and needed to be held accountable for what they said.

Nearly 22,000 soccer balls are floating in the iconic fountain at Kings Island in an effort to "kick cancer."

MASON, Ohio – More than 20,000 soccer balls have been kicked in the fountain at Kings Island by guests from 36 states as part of the park's inaugural Kicks Cancer campaign to raise awareness and money in the fight against cancers affecting men, women and children.
MASON, Ohio – Nearly 22,000 soccer balls are floating in the iconic fountain at Kings Island in an effort to "kick cancer."
While the amusement park in Mason specializes in thrill-inducing attractions, it spent the summer raising funds for cancer research and care for millions of men, women and children affected the disease. It did so through the inaugural Kings Island Kicks Cancer campaign.
More than $186,000 has been raised since the campaign began July 25, according to Kings Island's public relations manager, Don Helbig. The net proceeds from soccer ball sales and donations benefit The Dragonfly Foundation, Melanoma Know More and Pink Ribbon Girls.
On Sunday, King Island marketing director Marissa Brock presented a check for $186,000 to representatives from the organizations. All three received $62,000.
"The Dragonfly Foundation, Melanoma Know More and Pink Ribbon Girls have been outstanding to work with," Helbig said. "Without the help and support that we've received from each organization, the campaign would not have been as successful."
One of the fundraising tools was the sale of soccer balls.
Park visitors from 36 states and multiple countries purchased a ball from the park for $5 and kicked it into the fountain on International Street for a chance to win a new 2015 Honda Fit. Tanya Drake of Covington, Kentucky was randomly selected among the 21,854 entries as the winner of the car.
The park is also working with the nonprofits to raise awareness about specific types of cancer. They're doing so through attention-grabbing events such as trying to set world records for things such as most heads shaved simultaneously and brought attention to the Pink Ribbon Girls through a lipstick challenge.
"It's been great to see the awareness that has been created through this campaign for each organization," Helbig said.
On Aug. 9, a crowd of 2,148 park guests joined forces to topple the sunscreen application record and raise awareness about melanoma and other skin cancers.
"In topping the record... we were able to create awareness and educate our guests about the need to protect themselves by applying sunscreen when they're going to be exposed to the sun," Helbig commented at the time. "That's what today was all about."
The campaign concluded Sunday and Helbig was confident it was a success.
"Sunday night, when the campaign ends, there's no question we will have established a new record for the most soccer balls floating in a fountain pool at the same time for a great cause," he added.

Stranded in Nice for 2 nights after my flight got cancelled, and the airline put us up here. It's quite a decent city hotel, located almost right opposite the beautiful Notre Dame cathedral along Avenue Jean Medecin. A stones throw (maybe around 10min) walk away from the train station, and around 15min away from the Promenade des Anglais.
Probably more of a North American 3 star property. Rooms are good size for France, which is to say, not excessively small. Beds were comfy. Room decor was a little dated and could do with a freshening up, but everything was clean and well taken care of. As previous posters have mentioned, the toilet is in a separate room from the bathroom, which is nice. The bathtub and shower are combined, but they have an odd way of keeping the bathroom dry. They use a swing screen, which prevents most of the splashes from the shower, but not all. So you may get a little bit of a wet floor from time to time.
A decent breakfast is provided, but as the hotel has no restaurant, other meals are only via room service, meaning menu is limited (pastas etc only). Internet is free (much appreciated).
I didn't go to the rooftop bar and pool, so can't comment on those.
Front desk staff are good, very helpful and all speak excellent English. Communication wasn't a problem.
The only thing is I hesitate to recommend staying along (or near) Avenue Jean Medicin as it gets a little dingy at night.
The hotel itself however, is pretty decent and can be recommended esp if you're going to be taking the train a lot for inter-city hops.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Mercure Nice Centre Notre Dame is a recently refurbished 4 star hotel located opposite Notre Dame church, close to the Promenade des Anglais and the old city. On the tram line, the hotel is 300 m from the station and 7 km from the airport. The hoteloffers 200 rooms with 2,000 sqm of inner gardens. Enjoy our solarium, beauty centre, swimming pool and rooftop bar with panoramic views over the city. Public undercover pay car park. ... more less

About halfway though this video, Tom Byron and Rob Black are talking and somebody says this video is "like Shane's World in Brazil," and with the combination of travelogue and sex, they're not entirely wrong.
There are seven sex scenes, most with anal, many with multiple participants. The pseudonymous local Brazilian talent is mostly natural and very enthusiastic, now and then bordering on voracious. The travelogue sequences unfortunately show the Extreme associates at their Ugly-American worst, with Rob Black railing at not being able to find chewing tobacco and several of the group getting a non-English-speaking drugstore clerk to say "cocksucker."
They also half-jokingly say they should get the Safe Sex Award because of the self-preservation-compelled condom use throughout. Some would say that the facial pops would disqualify this tape for the Safe Sex Award, but what the hell, it's prenommed now.
And a serious pre-nom for the superlative editing by the team of Rob Black, Tom Byron, Slain Wayne and Luciano, which keeps the eye occupied throughout the two hours. Well done, gentlemen.

DUBLIN An Irishman was among a group of gas workers kidnapped in Algeria on Wednesday, Ireland's Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore said, demanding his immediate release.
Gilmore's department said the man was an Irish national from Northern Ireland and that the government was in close contact with its international partners to establish what had happened.
"The government stands ready to use all the resources available to us to ensure that our citizen is released as soon as possible," Gilmore, who is also deputy prime minister, said in a statement. (Reporting by Padraic Halpin; Editing by Jon Boyle)

Letter: Punish the poachers
I am writing in reference to the article that appeared July 13 "Roan Plateau elk poacher to pay $5,000."
One why are Bingham and Scheer still working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? They both should have been canned on the spot. They also should have paid the $5,000 to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, as well as Fitsimmons, since the others were accomplices.
Being a "public servant" the public should know what their punishment is/was.
There shouldn't be any discussion about any of them not receiving a five-year suspension on their hunting and fishing licenses. Just do it.
All four of you "gentlemen" make me sick. Too bad you couldn't have spent some jail time also.
Good job on the investigation CPW, and a reminder to the public to always call in the poachers.

Do not use, copy, or repost without my express permission. I've had too many run-ins with people doing it in the past.Snugglebug Commission Information!
[edit - I went and re-colored the red parts with a newer brown fabric pen so they were darker and more brownish, i.e. more accurate to her actual coloring. I also realized that I gave her the wrong kind of neck binding; so I went and made a little "clasp" out of the same pewter ribbon I used on her feet.]
And now for the unveiling of a "secret" snugglebug knock-off! And hopefully she will be the last. These last three I made in the first place because I had the extra optics left over from the past few knock-offs and I wanted to do something with them. At this point, most of them have been used up.
Morgan. Was. An enormous pain. I don't think it's too hard to see why, what with all her patches and seams and things. But she came out in a way that I couldn't be happier with.
Morgan happened because I had so much excess materials from past projects that were perfect for making her. I wound up ordering a bit of red minky and ran to the fabric store to buy some ridiculously cheap, on-sale navy fleece (because I needed to see the navy fabric in person to make sure it was muted enough to work) so I could go about making her. The red minky, upon arrival, was less the color it claimed to be online and more of a vivid "cherry" color. I almost want to see how vivid the fabric actually labeled "cherry" looks now. Fortunately I had a leftover dark brown pen from when I was trying to figure out which brown was the best for Bonnie's stripes, and with some work I was able to color it and rub off most of the pigment to make it a bit darker and a bit less bright. Yet somehow my camera makes the red look almost that vivid. In person it's more Dr. Pepper red. I tried to edit it in Photoshop to make it look less bright but this was the best I could do.
Morgan is mine,
Snugglebugs are 's,

I have been searching for a plug-in like this for quite a while! The additional fields are fantastic, as I am using it for registration forms.
However, when I try to complete a sale to test it, every time I check out, after I select my payment type, I get the message "No Order Found". I thought maybe Paypal wasn't configured correctly, so just to narrow it down I only activated the "pay on delivery" option. (what could go wrong with that, right?) Still getting the same message.
Has anyone else run into this, or no how to remedy the situation?
Thank you in advance!

Former Olympic Gymnastics Coach Banned For Life After Abuse Allegations
It's not just in Penn State locker rooms where sexual abuse takes place. It's a common secret that coaches in training facilities and locker rooms across the country take advantage of young athletes. There is an atmosphere of exploitation whereby athletes repeatedly report stories of physical or sexual abuse by coaches and mentors they had come to depend on.
News this week of 1984 Olympic Gymnastics coach Don Peters' lifetime ban by USA Gymnastics following sexual abuse allegations is just the latest scandal rocking the sports world on the heels of the highly publicized Jerry Sandusky case.
'A USA Gymnastics hearing panel has concluded the investigation regarding Don Peters and has ruled that Peters will be listed as 'permanently ineligible' for membership in USA Gymnastics, and that Peters' membership in the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame will be revoked, along with any rights and privileges connected to either,' a statement from the federation said.
The former Olympic coach, accused of sexually abusing three athletes in the 1980s had already resigned from his coaching and director positions at SCATS, the training facility he built into a superpower.gym in Huntington Beach, Calif..
Peters, 62, was considered one of the country's top coaches in the 1980s and his Huntington Beach gym produced several national team members. As head coach of the U.S. team at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, the Americans won eight medals (including two golds), a total that remains unsurpassed by any American women's Olympic team. The U.S. silver medal in the team all-around competition was the American women's first Olympic medal in gymnastics since 1948. Four of the six members on the U.S. team trained withPeters and he tutored nearly 60 U.S. national team members during his 32-year tenure at SCATS..
In late September, the Orange County Register reported allegations against Peters when three women accused him of having sex with them while they were training at his gym. All three alleged victims were teenagers at the time and in some cases, the sexual contact was illegal, but because the statute of limitations had expired when the allegations came to light, Peters cannot be prosecuted criminally in California for his conduct.
According to the Register, Doe Yamashiro is one of the alleged victims. She was a member of the U.S. national team and trained with Peters at his Orange County gym. She claims that the abuse started when she was 16 years old, that he would fondle her repeatedly, and then had sex with her when she was 17. Yamashiro described the first incident:
"He asked to speak with me in his hotel room and he locked the door behind us. And then he began groping me. And that was the worst; that was really the worst of it because I had never been kissed by a boy, and I wasn't even interested in boys at that point. I didn't have breasts. I was totally pre-pubescent at 16. And, you know, if you spend your life in the gym, you're totally emotionally naive."
In 1987, Yamashiro moved into the 'SCATS house', which was a home rented by the club for the gymnasts who left home to train with Peters. During that summer, Yamashiro alleges that he had intercourse with her at the Huntington Beach library parking lot. She was only 17. She said:
"And I still couldn't say 'no' to him. That incident I had a very strong emotional reaction to. That was a real physical violation and I was disgusted. I was disgusted at him and myself. And that's it. I was in pain and I had just lost my virginity. And then I had to go to workout."
The newspaper's report sparked a formal investigation, in which two other named coaches were dismissed by USA Gymnastics earlier this month.
Doug Boger was released by ArtSports World Gym in Colorado Springs, Colo., and had already been banned by USA Gymnastics after former gymnasts accused him of physical and sexual abuse.
The gym's owner, Michael Zapp, a convicted sex offender, also resigned and sold the gym.
Meanwhile USA Gymnastics Chairman Peter Vidmar, a former Olympic champion, moved immediately to tighten a loophole that allowed banned coaches to continue to teach. The policy change requiries any organization or individual hosting or organizing USAG events to be in compliance with the rule prohibiting employment of people on the permanently ineligible list.
If you think the Peters case is an isolated incident, think again. A recent white paper was developed by members of the "Project to Address Coach-Athlete Sexual Harassment and Abuse", a group of former athletes and sport administrators who are in the initial process of organizing an effort to more effectively address this issue. According to the report,
The world of sports has been riddled with sexual abuse and harassment of young athletes by their powerful and publicly respected coaches (respected for producing performance results) for many decades, across all sports, regardless of sex. While there is no consistently collected data on the prevalence of these transgressions, there is reason to believe that news reports represent the proverbial "tip of the iceberg":
The paper also notes that coaches associations and national and other sport governance organizations have a built-in conflict of interest in protecting the reputations of their sports or members. "There is need for an independent blue-ribbon group of sport, management, psychological, and legal experts to create a comprehensive blueprint for deterring sexual abuse and harassment by coaches in sport."
Please, let's not see any more reports of predators tasked with mentoring our kids preying on them. These abuses of power are criminal and we need to help create a climate in which athletes feel safe in reporting such incidents. Ignoring the problem is not a solution.

The joint entropy-based diversity analysis (JEDA) program is a new method of selecting representative subsets of compounds from combinatorial libraries. Similar to other cell-based diversity analyses, a set of chemical descriptors is used to partition the chemical space of a library of compounds; however, unlike other metrics for choosing a compound from each partition, a Shannon-entropy based scoring function implemented in a probabilistic search algorithm determines a representative subset of compounds. This approach enables the selection of compounds that are not only diverse but that also represent the densities of chemical space occupied by the original chemical library. Additionally, JEDA permits the user to define the size of the subset that the chemist wishes to create so that restrictions on time and chemical reagents can be considered. Subsets created from a chemical library by JEDA are compared to subsets obtained using other partition-based diversity analyses, namely principal components analysis and median partitioning, on a combinatorial library derived from the Comprehensive Medical Chemistry Dataset.

UK prices for the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV – the world's first plug-in hybrid SUV - has been announced. Prices start at £28,249 (including the £5000 government grant for electric vehicles), which is identical to the equivalent diesel model.
This aggressive price strategy means the PHEV is the only plug-in hybrid on sale that doesn't carry a premium price tag for its technology.
The other variants of the Outlander PHEV are the GX4h and the GX4hs, which are priced at £32,899 and £34,999 respectively. These include the same hybrid technology as the GX3h but with a higher specification.
The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine and a pair of 80bhp electric motors – one on each axle. providing economy and emissions of 148mpg and just 44g/km. On electric power only the PHEV can travel up to 32.5 miles.
The base model comes on 18" alloy wheels and includes cruise control, dual-zone climate control air conditioning, Bluetooth hands free, leather steering wheel with audio controls, privacy glass and electric folding/ heated mirrors with indicators as standard.
The more premium models will get you extras such as powered tailgate, wide –beam HID headlamps, DAB Radio, heated front seats, electric sunroof, reversing camera and sat-nav with a seven-inch touchscreen. The GX4hs adds adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and forward collision mitigation system.

S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine
"Understated and unforgettable. This movie is as horrific an exposure to evil as Shoah."—J. Hoberman, Village Voice
In 1975, the Khmer Rouge, insurgent Communists, overthrew the Cambodian government and established a despotic regime they called "Democratic Kampuchea." Led by Pol Pot, the new government began a systematic national purge of skilled workers, intellectuals, and dissenters. During the Khmer Rouge's genocidal 1975ñ79 reign, a Phnom Pehn high school was converted into S21, a detention center where over 16,000 people were interrogated, tortured, and murdered. Only 14 of the prisoners are thought to have survived.
This vital and considered documentary—an "utterly necessary film" (The Nation)—follows the two living survivors during their first visit back to the building. There they confront several of their former captors and tormentors. Both parties hauntingly reenact their former routines and recall the terror that gripped victims and oppressors alike.
