Bush Disagrees With His Own Energy Dept, Claims Drilling In Arctic Refuge Will 'Bring Enormous Benefits'
This morning in the White House Rose Garden, President Bush called on Congress to "pass good legislation as soon as possible" that would lift the federal ban on exploring the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and allow states to permit offshore oil drilling. Bush said in order to relieve the "painful level" of gas prices, "our nation must produce more oil."
As part of his plan, Bush also reiterated his demand that Congress allow oil drilling in the Alaskan Arctic Wildlife Refuge. According to Bush, drilling for oil in the Arctic Refuge will "bring enormous benefits to the American people":
BUSH: we should expand oil production by permitting exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge or ANWR. … In the years since [1995], the price of oil has increased sevenfold and the price of American gasoline has more than tripled. … I urge members of congress to allow this remote region to bring enormous benefits to the American people.
Watch it:
Bush's claim isn't even backed up by his own administration. A Department of Energy report released last month found that the Arctic Refuge's reserves will do little to reduce the price of a barrel of oil:
If Congress were to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, crude oil prices would probably drop by an average of only 75 cents a barrel, according to Department of Energy projections issued Thursday.
The report…found that oil production in the refuge "is not projected to have a large impact on world oil prices."
Moreover, in 2005, DoE estimated that there are nearly 18 billion barrels of oil available in the OCS, which is roughly double the reserves in the Arctic Refuge. Thus, by 2025, drilling in Alaska and the OCS would shave around $2.25 off the cost of a barrel of oil meaning "little to no impact on the price at the pump, today or tomorrow."
At best, Bush's plan saves mere pennies on a gallon of gasoline 20 years from now, while putting billions more into Big Oil's pockets. Perhaps oil company executives were the "American people" he was referring to.

The slumping dollar has sunk below 90-cents U-S. After losing a-10th of-a-cent yesterday, the loonie is down a-quarter of-a-cent Friday morning to 89.85 cents U-S. So far this month, the loonie has lost almost 4.2-cents against the American dollar. Traders point to several factors, including a stronger U-S dollar as well as signs the Canadian economy is sputtering. The falling dollar is also going to cost you more, to get to a warmer climate. New fees have been introduced by tour companies to make-up the cost. For example, Air Transat will begin a $35 per passenger "currency surcharge" to all packages for Florida and further south starting January 27. Sunwing will begin charging an extra $35 on it's vacation packages and flights on Jan. 30. Air Canada Vacations is also joining the pack in charging you $35 when you book a trip to the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean. That goes into effect on Jan. 27WestJet Vacations has decided not to implement the new surcharge.

I'm using Social 2.5 with WordPress 3.4.2. I'm also using the Instagram for WordPress plug-in (version 0.3.6). The Instagram plugin puts a widget in my sidebar that pulls the 20 most recent images from my Instagram account.
If I have a WP post with an image, Social pulls that image and uses it as a thumbnail on the resulting Facebook post. However - and this is the issue I'm having - if the WP post has no image, Social pulls one of the Instagram photos from the widget.
Here is a screen cap of the Instagram widget, and here is a screen cap of a Facebook post with the Instagram image. As you can see, the Instagram picture of my barbeque dinner has nothing to do with a musical Top 10 list.
Soooooo... any ideas?

Is it because of size? By the way, what is the limit of the size?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
There are many reasons to use two databases, some that come to mind:
Separate applications, or services. I can't see any reason to use separate databases for a single app/service.
(note: replication, even multimaster, isn't a separate database. Neither is Sharding.)
I believe some on here are confusing Database with a Database Instance.
Example: A phone book is a prime example of a Database.
Replication: having 2 copies of the same phone book does not mean you have 2 databases. It means you have 2 copies of 1 database, and that you can hand 1 to someone else so you can both look up different things at the same time thereby accomplishing more work at once.
Sharding: You could tear those phonebooks apart at the end of the white pages and the beginning of the yellow and hand them to 2 more people. You could further tear them at each letter and when you need susan summers ask the person with that section of the book to look for her.
I sometimes have separate database because they handle different concerns. I.E. a Reporting database or an Authentication Database.
suppose you wanted to publish or reuse some external database, and keep it separate from your primary database. This would be a good reason to use 2 databases... You can drop and reimport the external database at any time without affecting your database, and vice versa...
You can use two databases the same reason most banks have two ATMs, for reliability. You can swap one in if the other fails, but to do it quickly requires setup, such as a cname and controlling your own DNS server.
You can also do writes on one database, if the writes have complex triggers on them, and use some synching between databases to keep the second one updates, which is used for selects.
You can use two databases for load sharing, for example, use round-robin to split up the load so one isn't overloaded.
As Ben mentioned, Replication is one reason. Another is load balancing.
For example, Hotmail uses many database servers and customer data is broken up across the databases.
To have all of their customers' data on one server would not only require massive storage requirements, but the response times would be horrible.
In other cases, the data may be separated by function. You may well have two sets of data which are either not connected, or at least very loosely so, and in such cases, it may make sense to separate that data from the rest.
Also consider IO needs. Writing to one, reading from the other. One with immediate transactional needs, others where "transactions" can be queued, one instance at high priority, the other at "idle" priority, &c. It is very obvious however with the correct hardware and tablespace/filesystem layouts most of these situations can be achieved in a singular DB.
I think SQLite databases on the iPhone is limited to a size of 50 megabytes, but you can open several databases.

I am super impressed with Overstock. We ordered 8 of these chairs (4 pair), and they arrived within a week of placing the order. They were packaged very well, already assembled, and with no defects whatsoever. The chairs are lightweight but seem to be made very well. The legs have a reddish tint, somewhat mahogany. The price was by far the best I found for the quality and style we were looking for.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The fabric was a textured woven tan, very similar to linen. Exactly what I was hoping for.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Quality is great. Chairs are comfortable.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate
Very nice chairs for my small dining room. Quality fabric, greyish beige with a little texture. I love that they came VERY well packaged and already assembled. Legs are reddish as previous review indicated. I am very happy with this purchase.
The chairs were wrapped to protect each chair completely. Unpacked the chairs and I immediately sat in one. I have low back problems and there is lumbar support with these chairs. The color is more of a soft grey than beige. The chairs so far are comfortable and a good buy. I would buy this brand again!
I am very happy with my new chairs. They complement the table that I had for years. Sorry that I did not find them sooner.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Yes
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Well constructed, great product for the money
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate measurements, color of fabric and wood was right on
They were ok but not very strong
Very, very classy chairs. Love that they arrive fully assembled. I sat in one for 3 hours working on my laptop and never felt a backache. These complement our reclaimed pine table really well. They definitely look as if they cost much more than they did. Love them!
I bought these chairs in order to bring a dining room table to the 21st century and they were perfect. The fabric is very nice and thick as well as comfy.

NFL Team Report - Kansas City Chiefs - INSIDE SLANT
The Chiefs' locker room bought into Andy Reid and his program during the offseason, as the team had near perfect attendance for practices, minicamps and even strength and conditioning sessions.
Now comes the biggest part of the transition to a new head coach: training camp. The Chiefs will be at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph for three weeks and it's then that the fans and even the players will get the first taste of just what Reid has planned in this new assignment after 14 seasons in Philadelphia.
For some of the more tenured Chiefs, Reid is their fourth head coach since the 2008 season and third in the last three seasons. There has been controversy, turmoil, tragedy, organizational bickering and sabotage that were daily occurrences during Scott Pioli's reign as general manager.
Reid and new general manager John Dorsey have calmed the waters and the first six months of the new regime has been relatively quiet and built on one factor - hard work. The head coach says that's the fastest way to turning around what has been the worst stretch in Chiefs history.
"You have to work together; you have to build trust," Reid said. "I think we all know nothing good comes easy, so you have to work your tail off. You have to give up a little bit of something to get something."
And, a team has to have enough talent. That was Pioli's major downfall - his inability to significantly improve the talent level of the roster. The Chiefs may have sent six players to the Pro Bowl after the 2012 season, but only two were Pioli acquisitions - strong safety Eric Berry and outside linebacker Justin Houston.
The new regime has made a lot of changes to the roster already, with more than half of the 90-man list being additions since January. Still, the guts of the Chiefs will be inherited players, including those half-dozen Pro Bowlers from last season - linebackers Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson and Houston, Berry, running back Jamaal Charles and punter Dustin Colquitt. Throw in wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, tackle Branden Albert, cornerback Brandon Flowers, guard Jon Asamoah and versatile Dexter McCluster and it's not a team that needs a completely new foundation.
Offensively, Reid and first-time coordinator Doug Pederson experimented with a lot of things in the offseason, and the addition of Chris Ault, the pistol scheme developer from the University of Nevada, has falsely led folks to a conclusion that will be the Kansas City offense.
Right now, it's just another part of the toolbox for the offensive coaching staff, along with the no-huddle offense they showed through most of the spring practices.
"I think the more plays you run in a game, the better off you are," said Reid. "As long as you are fundamentally sound and you are making plays and scoring points, it's very helpful. That's not the only thing we do, but to be able to have that ability to go at different speeds I think is important. It gives us flexibility."
Beyond establishing the offense under quarterback Alex Smith, Reid and staff will be watching the defense continue to adjust to the scheme being implemented by coordinator Bob Sutton. The classic 3-4 used by Romeo Crennel was more about read and react and bend-but-don't break. Sutton's playbook is more about attacking aggressively in the pass rush and coverage.
Maybe the most important factor that must get done is in re-establishing the habit of winning around the Chiefs. In the last two seasons, they've had a 9-23 record, including last year's 2-14 that was bad enough to give them the first choice in the NFL Draft.
"The bottom line is you have to have a certain mindset, and that's work," said Reid. "You have to work hard. If you work at something and it's a competitive thing then you have to want to be first. You have to want to be the best. That's where I start. I'm not one that talks about the negative; it's just not how I'm wired. I'm coming at you and I'm going to find out what you do well, and exploit those skills. The things you aren't good at, I'm going to teach you to be better at those things. I expect the coaches to do that. I expect the players to work on those things and bring out the best in each other.
"We all have strengths and weaknesses and being a team is my strength covering up your weakness and your strength covering up my weakness."
On the hot seat: Wide receiver Jon Baldwin. Entering his third season since being selected in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, Baldwin has been a disappointment. In two seasons of inconsistent play and production, Baldwin has a total of 41 catches for 579 yards and two touchdown receptions. That's in 26 games with 10 starts. The current Chiefs regime is hoping the talents of assistant head coach/wide receivers coach David Culley will make a difference with Baldwin and his penchant for losing focus and unable to process game situations while the game is going on. The Chiefs are not going to have an offense that throws the ball deep; they'll be more short and intermediate routes; given Baldwin's 6-4, 230-pound body, he should win the jump balls and out-muscle all the coverage.
Cause for concern: The Chiefs' offense does not have a lot of proven weapons in the passing game and the work in the offseason program for new quarterback Alex Smith was slowed by the absence of tight end Tony Moeaki and limited participation by wide receivers Dexter McCluster and Donnie Avery. Moeaki was not cleared to practice as he's still rehabbing after surgery in January on his left knee. It's the same knee where he tore his ACL and missed all of the 2011 season. Free-agent signee Anthony Fasano and draft choice Travis Kelce were getting the snaps with the first-offense in practices. McCluster (hamstring) and Avery (ankle) are considered key components to the team's offensive attack, but they got little practice time because of the injuries.
Breakthrough star: Dontari Poe, the team's first-round draft choice in 2012, had a serviceable rookie season playing in the two-gap 3-4 defense of former head coach Romeo Crennel. The change in approach with new defensive coordinator Bob Sutton may be better for Poe and the skills that he's shown. With good quickness, Poe has shown in practices the ability to quickly hit gaps and disrupt the offense. Crennel's scheme for the nose tackle was more about reading than reacting, while Sutton's approach allows more reaction.
Position battles: There are two starting spots that will see competition in training camp: left guard and the MIKE linebacker. Last season, when starting center Rodney Hudson went down with a leg injury in the third week of the season, starting left guard Ryan Lilja moved to center and second-round draft choice Jeff Allen moved into the starting spot. It proved to be a rough year for the rookie. He's trying to hold off another second-year player Donald Stephenson and free-agent signee Geoff Schwartz.
The MIKE linebacker spot is open due to the suicide of last year's starter Jovan Belcher. Over the last month of the 2012 season, Brandon Siler filled that role, but he was not re-signed. Free agent Akeem Jordan was signed after playing six seasons for the Eagles as the utility linebacker, working both outside and inside. In the fourth round of the draft, the Chiefs selected Nico Johnson, one of the leaders of the defense that pushed the University of Alabama to a second straight national championship.
NFL Team Report - Kansas City Chiefs - NOTES, QUOTES
--Quarterback Alex Smith's offseason performance with his new team had head coach Andy Reid optimistic about getting off to a fast offensive start come training camp.
"I'm asking him to do a ton of things," Reid said. "He's handling it. We've had an interception here or there, but that's all part of this thing. You have to find out about the offense and you can't do that with your hands in your pocket. You have to go out and you have to try things and experiment. He stayed aggressive with the ball and I appreciate that."
--Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said he was pleased with the additions and changes the club has made to their roster in the last six months, but he promised that the shopping for players would not end during the team's summer hiatus.
"We'll never stop trying to add players that can help this team," Dorsey said. "That's something that trumps vacation time."
Dorsey showed his approach by getting into the mix with former Packers linebacker Desmond Bishop and former Ravens fullback Vonta Leach, even though neither landed in a red and gold uniform.
--A cousin of the late Kasandra Perkins, the woman murdered by Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, was awarded custody of the couple's nine-month-old daughter, Zoey. Sophie Perkins was named primary guardian of the child over Cheryl Belcher, Jovan's mother. Jackson County, Missouri probate judge Daniel Wheeler said his decision was based on the judgment that Sophie Perkins would serve "the best interest for stable and permanent placement." A third party will handle the more than $3 million designated for Zoey Belcher in the aftermath of her mother being murdered and her father committing suicide on December 1.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Andy is obviously somebody that's had a lot of success. Watching him on the field and watching him with the players, I can see that confidence rubbing off on them, and certainly me as an owner or our family as an owner and the fans. I think you can feel that confidence as well." -- Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt talking about head coach Andy Reid.
NFL Team Report - Kansas City Chiefs - STRATEGY AND PERSONNEL
QUARTERBACKS: Starter - Alex Smith. Backups - Chase Daniel, Ricky Stanzi, Tyler Bray.
It would not have taken much for the Chiefs to improve the quarterback position over what the team saw in 2012 with Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn. That duo split the 16 starts last season and combined for eight touchdown passes, 20 interceptions, completions at the rate of 57.5 percent and a passer rating of 63.8. Before leaving the field last year with a concussion, Smith had a TD/INT ratio of 13/5, completing 70.2 percent of his passes for a passer rating of 104.1. Smith must now show he can perform at that level without Jim Harbaugh in his ear; instead it will be Reid, a coach with an impressive track record in dealing with quarterbacks. Smith must stay healthy - Daniel has never started an NFL game, while Stanzi and Bray have never played in a regular-season game.
RUNNING BACKS: Starters - Jamaal Charles, FB Anthony Sherman. Backups - Knile Davis, Shaun Draughn, Cyrus Gray, FB Toben Opurum, Jordan Roberts, FB Braden Wilson.
In his last 34 games in the Chiefs' offense, Charles has averaged 5.8 yards per carry and 90 rushing yards per game. Those numbers are without 14 games in 2011 when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee. Charles bounced back last year and had his most productive season (1,509 yards) and most opportunities (285 carries). In the Reid offense, more will be asked of him as a receiver, and that's an area where he's not had a lot of chances. His best season was 2010, when he caught 45 passes for 468 yards and three touchdown catches. The Chiefs would like Davis to give them another option in the offense, as he brings speed and power when healthy. How many snaps will go to the fullback position remains in question.
TIGHT ENDS: Starter - Anthony Fasano. Backups - Kevin Brock, Demetrius Harris, Travis Kelce, Tony Moeaki.
Reid and Dorsey have put together an interesting group of tight ends, but none of the five going to training camp has a hammerlock on the starting job. Fasano brings catching and blocking to the offense based on his previous stops in Dallas and Miami. But he's not the pass-catcher that a healthy Moeaki has shown he can be; it's just not often that he's in good health. He played 15 games last season, but struggled after coming back from a torn ACL in his left knee from 2011. Then, there was more surgery after the 2012 season and he may start training camp on the PUP list. Kelce, the draft choice out of the University of Cincinnati, can catch as well and if he shows he can block, his playing time could top every other tight end.
WIDE RECEIVERS: Starters - Dwayne Bowe, Jon Baldwin. Backups - Donnie Avery, Josh Bellamy, Terrance Copper, Mardy Gilyard, Frankie Hammond, Junior Hemingway, Dexter McCluster, Jamar Newsome, Rico Richardson, Tyler Shoemaker, Devon Wylie.
Sporting a new long-term contract, Bowe did not miss a day of the offseason program and he spent as much time as possible working with Smith and developing the confidence a quarterback needs with his team's No. 1 receiver. Baldwin raised the level of his play in the team's minicamp, but one of the major questions is whether he can carry that into training camp. Avery and McCluster are set at the third and fourth receivers spot, but both were limited in offseason work because of injuries. Hemingway had a strong April-May-June and could land on the 53-man roster along with special teams standout Copper.
OFFENSIVE LINEMEN: Starters - LT Branden Albert, LG Jeff Allen, C Rodney Hudson, RG Jon Asamoah, RT Eric Fisher. Backups - T Steven Baker, C-G Tommie Draheim, G Ryan Durand, C-G A.J. Hawkins, T Colin Kelly, C Eric Kush, G-T Matt Reynolds, G-T Geoff Schwartz, G-T Donald Stephenson, T Dustin Waldron.
Based on the starting lineup they showed in the offseason work, the Chiefs will have two first-round draft picks, two second-round choices and a third-round pick as the first unit. The best player in that group is Albert, and he'll play the season with the franchise-player contract. Asamoah is the budding star, as he enters his fourth season on the right side. Fisher moved right into the right tackle spot and appeared very comfortable there. The question marks will come at left guard and center. Hudson is coming back from missing 13 games last year due to a leg injury. Allen's rookie year was a tough one and he's trying to fight off veteran Geoff Schwartz and fellow second-year blocker Donald Stephenson. Reid says he's going to start the best five players.
DEFENSIVE LINEMEN: Starters - LDE Tyson Jackson, NT Dontari Poe, RDE Mike DeVito. Backups - DE Allen Bailey, DE Miguel Chavis, DE Marcus Dixon, DE Austen Lane, DE Rob Lohr, NT Jerrell Powe, NT Anthony Toribio.
Jackson took a pay cut to stay with the Chiefs in the last year of his five-year rookie contract. In his first four seasons he was a marginal contributor on running downs and almost no factor in the pass rush. The change in defensive scheme may suit him better - more aggression, less reads and hold the gap. Same with Poe, who had a good rookie season in 2012. DeVito brings a solid run stopper on the right side. The bench is very thin at all three positions. Waiver claim (from Jacksonville) Lane has a chance to make the team if he shows any pass-rushing ability.
LINEBACKERS: Starters - LOLB Justin Houston, LILB Akeem Jordan, RILB Derrick Johnson, ROLB Tamba Hali. Backups - OLB Mike Catapano, ILB Zac Diles, ILB Darin Drakeford, ILB Nico Johnson, OLB Edgar Jones, ILB Chad Kilgore, ILB Orie Lemon, OLB Josh Martin, OLB Ridge Wilson, OLB Frank Zombo.
Hali, Houston and Derrick Johnson all went to the Pro Bowl after the 2012 season and that trio makes the linebackers the best position group on the roster. The questions going into camp will be who is going to fill the strong-side inside linebacker spot next to Derrick Johnson and who will be the backups on the outside. Last year's inside starter was the late Jovan Belcher; Jordan and rookie Nico Johnson are competing for the starting role there. On the outside, special teamers Jones and Zombo have the best chance of making the roster.
DEFENSIVE BACKS: Starters - LCB Brandon Flowers, SS Eric Berry, FS Kendrick Lewis, RCB Sean Smith. Backups - S Husain Abdullah, CB Vince Agnew, S Malcolm Bronson, CB Jalil Brown, CB Greg Castillo, CB-S Sanders Commings, S Quintin Demps, S Otha Foster, S Tysyn Hartman, CB Buddy Jackson, S Brad McDougald, CB Dunta Robinson, CB Neiko Thorpe.
Flowers, Smith and Robinson give the Chiefs a solid trio on the corner, and two-time Pro Bowler Berry is solid at strong safety. The question is whether Lewis can hold off the competition at free safety led by veteran Demps, draft choice Commings and second-year college free agent Hartman. In this year's defensive scheme, the secondary will spend more time in man-to-man coverage, especially on the corners where they'll be pressing at the line of scrimmage. Without a solid pass rush, those safeties may be very busy chasing down receivers.
SPECIAL TEAMS: K Ryan Succop, P Dustin Colquitt, LS Thomas Gafford, LS Brad Madison.
Before he hit the free-agent market, the Chiefs signed Colquitt to the biggest contract for a punter in NFL history. He's coming off a Pro-Bowl season and is among the league's best at directional kicking. Succop is solid but not spectacular on his kicks and kickoffs. At the top of the list for special teams coordinator Dave Toub is finding productive returners for both punts and kickoffs.

Lee Thomas Era Begins
First, a new manager; somebody he knew – Nick Leyva. Leyva was only 36 years old, but held his first managerial job at the age of 24 with the Johnson City Cardinals of the Appalachian League; he had been a coach for Whitey Herzog since 1984. Lee Thomas liked him, and began as quickly as he could to give him something to work with.
A new shortstop might help – on January 27, he purchased Dickie Thon from San Diego. Next, a couple of pitchers, Larry McWilliams and Steve Ontiveros signed as free agents.
Thomas and Leyva needed a new third baseman when, on May 29 in San Francisco, Mike Schmidt, 39, soon to be 40 years old, suddenly announced his retirement. Schmidt was hitting just .203, but had six home runs at the time. The team at 18-29 appeared to be heading nowhere – they had just lost a fifth straight game in what would become an 11-game losing streak. Schmidt's 548 home runs left him at seventh on the all-time list. If Schmitty had known what Lee Thomas had cooking, he might have stayed around a bit longer.
Schmidt's departure had unforseen consequences for the team – a leadership change in the clubhouse. It would not occur immediately, and there would be no formal announcement – the Phillies had no tradition of designated team captains, but someone would emerge over time as a team leader, especially if the team began to win. A possibility was a 28-year-old catcher now in his fifth year of undistinguished service to the team; it was Darren Daulton, they called him "Dutch".
In June, Thomas executed three deals that changed everything.
June 2 – Traded outfielder Chris James to San Diego for Randy Ready and John Kruk.
June 18 – Traded Steve Bedrosian to San Francisco for Terry Mulholland, Dennis
Cook, and Charlie Hayes.
June 18 – Traded Juan Samuel to New York Mets for Lenny Dykstra and Roger
After July 1, with the new players in place, the team played close to .500 ball, but still finished sixth and last, 26 games behind the winning Cubs.By max blue

Norsant is committed to the high-speed Olympic sport, which begins with two or four athletes pushing a snow-car-type sled at a sprinting speed, jumping in, and then descending down an ice covered run. Sochi 2014: What It Takes To Be An Olympian By Maria Carter, Matthew Long-Middleton & Kate Baxendale • Feb 13, 2014 The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, began on Feb. 7 and the world has been enthralled with the incredible athleticism displayed at the games. Today we talk with professional runner Amy Mortimer, who placed ninth at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials. Later, we discuss what it takes for Olympians to train and compete in extreme winter conditions. Also, KCUR reporter Laura Ziegler talks about the public's reactions to the Olympic games with this week's Tell KCUR. Finally, we explore what's at stake for Russia in hosting these games. Guests: Olympic Dreams In Kansas City: Ski Jumping And Nordic Combined By Esther Honig • Feb 13, 2014 Esther Honig / KCUR Ski jumping was developed in Norway and has been around since the early 19th century. In this event, skiers go down a take-off ramp, jump, and attempt to impress judges, who give points for style. The Nordic combined, also developed in Norway, is a combination of cross country skiing and ski jumping. Tell KCUR: If You Could Be In The Olympics, What Would Be Your Sport? Why? By Alyson Raletz • Feb 10, 2014 KCUR Dear Kansas City, we want to know what your Olympic dreams are. As the world's finest athletes compete at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, we're wondering which gold you've been eyeing — from your living room. Tell KCUR: If you could be in the Olympics, what would be your sport? Why? Are you a would-be figure skater? A snowboarding hopeful? Olympic Dreams In Kansas City: Biathlon And Cross Country Skiing By Laura Spencer • Feb 10, 2014 Laura Spencer / KCUR You will likely face two challenges if you want to try cross country skiing in Kansas City: the right weather conditions and available equipment. Cross country skiing is considered one of the most challenging of the endurance sports. Participants use skis and poles to move across snow-covered terrain. Traditional cross country skis are long and narrow; holding on to the poles, you push with one ski and glide with the other. Olympic Dreams In Kansas City: Where To Speed Skate By Maria Carter • Feb 10, 2014 Donna Vestal / KCUR Speed skating is ice skating that falls into two basic categories — long track and short track. Long track races takes places on a 400m long oval rink with skaters competing in pairs. Short track involves four to six skaters on a track about a fourth that size. Kansas City doesn't have an Olympic sized rink for even short track, but a hockey rink will work.

Y&R is committed to having 20 agencies on the African continent by 2015. Leading the charge to achieve this is Yossi Schwartz, chairman of Y&R South Africa.
By Danette Breitenbach 5 Sep 2013
The year 2013 for most brands, especially the ones coping with saturated markets in developed countries, will be a decisive one. Incorporating Africa into their corporate brand strategy, if they haven't done so, will be the better part of valour, so to speak.

for a junior gold company, is difficult at best. The standard pattern is they raise 3 or 4 million.... drill some holes wait for results....raise more money i.e. stop drilling for months while money is being raised...start drilling again...wait for results..massive shate dilution etc (Yes Dave it is a worry that I have as well).
What separates Moneta from the majority of junior golds, is they were able to release a PEA and in a short turn around time, raise $10M to fund a gigantic drilling campaign and hire a leading geologist of the area to plan and supervise the effort.. What we will see shortly is the start of a massive uninterupted drilling campaign. What we will not see is the constant stop, start and delays that plague most juniors. We will not need further money for a year.
This spring/summer will be very interesting once the results of the drilling start being released. 10 million onzes+ here we come!

Fort LeBoeuf leads way with repeat champs at section tournament
UNION CITY -- Fort LeBoeuf teammates George McGuire and Brad Malinowski each claimed their third consecutive District 10 Section 1-AA Tournament titles during the finals Saturday night at Union City High School.
The Bison won the team title with 222 1/2 points. Saegertown placed second with 189 points.
McGuire bested Saegertown's Nick Monico 5-1 in the finals at 138 pounds. McGuire's championship adds to his titles at 103 and 113 in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Saegertown junior Tyler Vath's 6-3 win over Seneca's Chris Hibler at 132 gives him titles in 106, 120 and 132 in consecutive seasons, while Malinowski has earned titles at 132, 145 and 152 with his 2-0 victory over Eisenhower's Louie Head in Saturday's final.
North East's Jordan Bryan defeated Youngsville's Jeremy Lyon 14-6 at 170 to win his second straight section crown. Bryan won the championship at 160 a year ago.
Fort LeBoeuf's Jarrett Carter (120) and Saegertown teammates Matt Humes (145) and Dylan Reynolds (182) repeated as champions at classes different from their weights in 2013.

Skip to comments.Chaos in Middle East, US Ambassador Murdered, Media Fixated on Romney "Gaffe"
Posted on 09/12/2012 1:29:54 PM PDT by Kaslin
This has been an extremely disquieting day, for several reasons. First and foremost, the US Ambassador to Libya was murdered in cold blood last night, along with three other diplomats -- and horrifying images of the carnage are being beamed around the world. A few basic facts via Reuters:
The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three embassy staff were killed in an attack on the Benghazi consulate and a safe house refuge, stormed by Islamist gunmen blaming America for a film they said insulted the Prophet Mohammad. Gunmen had attacked and set fire to the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi, the cradle of last year's uprising against Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule, late on Tuesday evening as another assault was mounted on the U.S. embassy in Cairo. California-born ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed in the assault, but it was not clear how or where he died. U.S. consular staff were rushed to a safe house after the initial attack, Libya's Deputy Interior Minister Wanis Al-Sharif said. An evacuation plane with U.S. commandos units then arrived from Tripoli to evacuate them from the house. "It was supposed to be a secret place and we were surprised the armed groups knew about it. There was shooting," Sharif said. Two U.S. personnel were killed there, he said. Two other people were killed at the main consular building and between 12 and 17 wounded.
But hold the phone. Other media reports now indicate the "spontaneous" protests over the controversial Islam film were exploited as a cover for a pre-meditated assassination plot. The Libyan minister quoted in the story above wonders how "the armed groups knew about" the location of the US safe house. An apparent answer: They may have been tipped off by elements within Libya's security forces. There are also clues emerging that US intelligence officials knew about threats of embassy violence in advance. These puzzle pieces raise a number of unpleasant questions: (1) How on earth was our consulate and staff so poorly protected? (2) How badly compromised are our operations in Libya -- and possibly elsewhere -- if even our worst-case-scenario "safe houses" aren't safe? (3) If this was in fact a long-planned raid, did our intelligence community miss it, or was our response delayed and/or botched? (4) Why did our State Department decide to keep our diplomats on the ground after numerous "warning signs" of increasing aggression prompted the British to pull their team out of Benghazi? (If you click through to that article, be prepared to read a Libyan official blaming the victims). (5) How were we caught flat-footed by violence on the obvious and symbolic date of September 11?
If the news bulletins are correct, and this really was a separate assassination plot, yesterday's events also demonstrate an alarming degree of public relations savvy by the responsible parties. They deliberately used the street protests as a ruse, knowing full well that Western political and media structures would rush to condemn the speech that "caused" the bloodshed, further muddying the waters. An evil, brilliant play. Meanwhile, the wildfire is spreading to other Middle Eastern nations, and our Afghan "ally" Hamid Karzai is using the flap to incite his populous against the United States. This is a full-fledged foreign policy and national security crisis. The President of the United States and the State Department should be answering some of the tough questions I outlined above. (Also: Did Barack Obama skip important intelligence briefings in the lead-up to these outrages? How is it remotely appropriate for him to attend his planned Las Vegas political fundraiser tonight in the midst of a sweeping international crisis?) They should also be pressed to explain the US embassy in Cairo's craven and disgraceful statements apologizing for the free speech "abuses" of the Egyptian ex-pats who dared to offend the sensibilities of Muslims. Free speech can be ill-advised, and the US government can disavow certain messages, but attempting to placate the barbarians by diminishing and critiquing basic Constitutional rights is unforgivable. Byron York has a helpful column charting the administration's weak, then increasingly robust, condemnations of the attacks over the last 24 hours.
Which brings me to the second element of why today has been so upsetting. In the face of swirling, ongoing world events and horrific murders, the American press is positively obsessed with Mitt Romney's reaction to the initial Cairo protests. Remember, Egyptian extremists breached our embassy and pulled down our flag, replacing it with what appeared to be an Al Qaeda flag of some sort. Our embassy there issued two statements, each of which focused on scolding the people whose free speech "provoked" the riots, rather than rejecting the rioters. Mitt Romney filled the void on behalf of the First Amendment, refused to shy away from American first principles, and excoriated the embassy's posture (the White House eventually did the same). Whether he should have so directly tied the actions of the embassy staff to the president is a subject for reasonable debate, but his sentiments and priorities were absolutely spot on. Nevertheless, the insta-narrative is that Romney "jumped the gun" by "politicizing" the tragedy in Libya. He did nothing of the sort. He didn't capture the scope of the Benghazi murders in his statement *about Egypt* because he wasn't yet aware of the full extent of those events, which had not been confirmed. National Review's Dan Foster reviews the timeline:
1) U.S. diplomats in Cairo shamefully apologize more or less preemptively for private U.S. citizens exercising their First Amendment rights in a way that "hurts the religious feelings" of Muslims. 2) "Protests" intensify into attacks on embassy in Cairo and consulate in Benghazi. 3) Romney calls Cairo embassy response disgraceful. 4) Reports of murders of Americans in Benghazi confirmed. 5) Obama administration disavows Cairo embassy line. 6) Obama campaign flack LaBolt shames Romney for politicizing murders.
Romney gave a press conference this morning in which he expanded on his thoughts, strongly condemned the violent upheaval, affirmed America's commitment to free expression and expressed grief over the loss of American lives. Members of the media immediately peppered him with questions about his statement from last night, unwavering in their underlying assumption that he'd erred terribly. Katrina Trinko describes the astounding scene. Reporters honed in almost exclusively on the election horse-race implications of the Republican nominee's reaction to the unfolding crisis, based on a bizarre (and intentional?) misunderstanding of Romney's comments. They seemed entirely uninterested in the actual unfolding crisis itself. The governor's statement on Cairo has magically morphed into a callous and desperate attempt to score political points over the death of a US Ambassador in a totally separate incident, about which Romney didn't fully comment until this morning. Thus, what should be a news cycle about deeply unsettling international events instantly became a political pile-on -- not targeting the foreign policy team presiding over this disaster, mind you, but over something the president's challenger said in defense of free speech last night. I cannot think of a more comprehensive example of our media's endemic corruption and bias.
UPDATE - Some people will point out that some conservatives (many unnamed, a few named) have joined the media chorus against Romney. For shame. Romney is not above criticism from the right, even this close to a crucial election -- but those criticisms should at least be triggered by genuine campaign mistakes or policy missteps. But for supposed Romney allies to contribute to this absurd feeding frenzy is inexcusable. The media is blaming Romney for capitalizing politically on deaths that he *did not know about* when he released a (generally strong) repudiation of our Cairo embassy's reactions to a *different event.* They'd criticize him for any action he took here, unless it involved essentially applauding and agreeing with everything the Obama administration has done, then sitting quietly in a corner.
Romney should have spoken.
The media are pure evil. And the media got a Kenyan Marxist that had no executive experience and who never held a real job elected president of the U.S.
Obama is a traitor.
Obama issued a dictatorial decree giving Amnesty to a million illegals.That is unlawful as a president has no power to do this.
Obama has piled on 6 trillion in debt on the U.S. ensuring its collapse.
I can guarantee you this. That Muslims will get nuclear bombs and they will detonate them in U.S. cities and start a nuclear war. Can anyone dispute this to me now? Its not a matter of if but when . Islam will start a nuclear war , bank on it. Islam is evil. Islam is now in the laying low stage. As soon as they get enough nukes then they shift to war stage: http://www.faithfreedom.org
Shut up Noonan.
No Romney gaffe! The Demonrats have never observed the "Politics stops at the water's edge" dictum. They openly, and incessantly declared the war in iraq lost. And that is what they wanted. They and the leftist media are supreme hypocrites.
Probably the safest and simplest statement for any politician at the beginning of a crisis like this is to express sympathy and concern for those harmed and affected, and express the desire to have a much fuller understanding and facts about what has actually transpired.
Since in both Libya and Egypt we have old supporters of Gaddafi and Mubarak, Islamists of various flavor, and secularly oriented groups. Who knows which group decided that this mischief would improve their position? It will take a while to sort it all out and may be somewhat different in each country, although the apparent coordination is suspect.
Hey, now these journ-o-lusts have to keep their priorities straight, can't be changing a horse in mid-stream, y'know?
Therefore, ROMNEY is in the wrong, making all these unnecessary gaffes, y'know, and whatever is going down in Egypt and Libya, y'know, like, that is just good foreign policy being made up on the spot.
It is ALL-IMPORTANT to keep The Won in office, so he may finish his great conversion of America.
Saying that this administration is sympathetic with Islamic radicals is no gaffe.
Obama screwed up with his panty waist initial response.
Romney called him on it, because to apologize only invites an escalation in violence against U.S. interests.
Romney was right, and the only gaffes in this episode belong to the White House and State Dept.
The press is the enemy of our Republic. And I read somewhere that nearly all the press people pay NO income taxes, or they are cheating on their income taxes. PRESS PEOPLE ===PAY YOUR TAXES ! You will be turned in!
There is a reason the Obama protection agency in the News Media is busy spinning this on a movie no one has ever heard of. The mobs in the ME arent chanting about this movie, they are chanting 1 billion Osamas.
This is a reaction to Obama bragging 21 times last week about killing Osama
> I can guarantee you this. That Muslims will get nuclear
> bombs and they will detonate them in U.S. cities and start a
> nuclear war.
Thanks to Obama and the liberals, Muslims will gain access to nuclear arsenals of the US and other western countries, and Israel. Then they will threaten Asian countries.
Benghazi is right on the Libyan coast. I am REALLY unhappy we mothballed the USS New Jersey, along with the rest of the battleships. They could have had SO MUCH FUN off Libya if we had a real president.
"The media are democrats/marxists not reporters. They are posing as reporters.
The media are pure evil. And the media got a Kenyan Marxist that had no executive experience and who never held a real job elected president of the U.S."
Yup, the SRM are our enemies! We need to take every opportunity to ridicule them personally. Call them out by name. Throw that Alinsky crap right back in their faces! This garbage needs to stop! R&R should tell the SRM that they are not showing up for their Obama butt-kissing, dog and pony show debates unless Levin and/or Limbaugh are moderators! I don't care if the networks have to show Bozo playing with himself for 2 hours! Take a stand, or this nonsense will just continue to go on and on!
this is B/S, the state dept said sorry, oama didd and said nothing.
He does not even attend daily security briefings and the left, sorry the media try and change this whole fiasco to say Romney made a gaff
THis is F-IN B/S and the gop are cowards for not calling the media out.
There was NO gaffe by Romney, Romney was and is 100 percent right..the media in this country is NOT the media, its pravda, heck its worse than pravda, they will protect Obama no matter what he says or what he does. They are invested in Obama because they have to be, if Obama goes down so do they. Its very scary that the media in this country is so far gone they are just another wing of the Obama Administration
"Saying that this administration is sympathetic with Islamic radicals is no gaffe."
I actually came to this post thinking that Romney had messed up some name or location.
The "gaff" was him telling the truth of the situation!
The lefty press is in full meltdown. They know that THIS is going to hurt Obama badly and are flailing around for something to hook onto.
This is was not the best thing for them, because it gives Romney the spotlight.
I saw Noonan on FOX this morning saying this crap and was going mad at the TV.
She is the old guard elitist types which need to piss off, they play right into the media and the lefts hands,even the way she acts and talks grates me
Except it wasn't a gaffe. This SHTF yesterday and no one said a word. Where was obama yesterday on the anniversary of 911 when this happened? No where to be found. His chair was empty as usual. Romney stands with our ally. He is our candidate for President and has every right to speak out and take the lead where our so-called leader does not.
The mediots have learned since the Carter debacle to cover up better for their hero in the WH.
The Obemba admin. has once again dropped the ball. How in the world did this half-wit ever get elected?
It is time to either become complete isolationist, stop the so-called "foreign aid" to these animals or stop pussy-footing around with these Islamists and take-the-gloves-off. But, of course, there is an Islamist in the WH who apologizes for freedom of speech.
The comments about the dim/lib/left/progressive/socialist/communist msm always leave out a key word: "Totalitarian".
Exactly right. And it has to stop now. Romney should appoint a press spokesman to take on the B.S. media. I recommend Newt Gingrich! Go for it Romney. Fight the media and we will have your back.
Well, Kas......
Morsi's coming to the WH to meet with 0bama on Sept 23rd.
The LSM is overplaying their hand. By next week, when the bodies of the slain are flown back to America, Romneys statement of last night will be a distant memory.
Bozos evasions, fundraisers, no question taking press gatherings, finger pointing, however, will be a scab picked off hourly.
"No where to be found."
0bama was in Doha, Qatar, yesterday. Watch the message on the WH YouTube channel.
Who knows who else was there.........
WTF? The old guard elitists are turning on Romney?
Something stinks on ice here.
Oh, and Holder was with 0bama and someone else. To argue for/pick up American assets. I can think of 4 off the top of my head.
I heard her this morning. It looks like she's getting loony again
You are so correct, but the lsm has to smear him so their messiah can win in November
It would not surprise me if that arrogant pos will give him a State dinner
got that right, they pushed him onto us and now the elitist old guard turn on him thus helping jug ears and his radcial left wing agenda
yea funny how this LSM is ignoring his failures abroad, how he does not attend security briefings half the time, him not meeting Bibi, how Libya and Egypt have been huge failures, how our allies are treated, how our debt, unemployment, foreclosures, food, bills, gas etc are all going in thw rong direction.
What utter crap this media is.
The media created Obama, they have to protect him..and that is the scariest part, how far they will go to protect him. Obama could go out in the streets, with a shotgun and start shooting people and the media would defend him. I know, crazy thought right, but to see the media for what it is now, what it has become, is unbelievable
I think the MSM are shooting themselves in the foot here. By endlessly prattling about Romney's "gaffe" they are reminding the American people that two American diplomatic sites were invaded and an American Ambassador murdered. The American people (except liberals and jourhoists) know that is a bad thing and that Zero's kinder and gentler approach ain't workin. They will know Romney was right.
Ironically, one of the places to go to get the truth about this country is "Russia Today", granted most stuff there you have to take with a grain of salt.
I've read the transcript of their collective strategy three times and listened to the audio. It jumps out at me that the "journalists" care about Romney's "foreign policy experience" when Barry had none at the time of his anointing. These people (journalists pimping for Barry) are beyond stupid. Bordering on treasonous. (IMHO)
I have a slight advantage- I left for work this morning right after learning about the murder of the ambassador. All I knew was he'd been killed.
I come home to a scene of MADNESS. This is UNREAL. I just listened to the press conf Romney had and thought he was FANTASTIC. I was AMAZED at how well he did. He did not back down, he didn't lose his cool, he was calm but very firm. I don't know which so-called or actual conservatives have dumped on him for this- but I was so relieved to hear him STAND for US without APOLOGY.
Obama has the nerve to accuse Romney of shooting first and aiming later.....Kind of like a certain class idiot telling the world that those Cambridge cops sure did act stupidly.
The governor's statement on Cairo has magically morphed into a callous and desperate attempt to score political points over the death of a US Ambassador in a totally separate incident....Kind of like a certain class idiot telling the world that you never let a good crisis go to waste.
Unfortunately, no one, not God himself, will ever be able to convince an obama supporter of just how ignorant and dumb he is. Either out of them being completely and totally enamored with the man....OR....they'll just never have the balls to admit they were wrong, but in the end, have no other choice but to support him as there is no one else.
But, my Lord, this man proves his stupidity the moment he wakes up in the morning. Every day, all day. Which brings me to my point, how is this election even close?
