Apparently Buffalo Bills Fans Haven't Suffered EnoughJanuary 19, 2010 – 12:52 pm by TheBaker
In one of the way-too-oftenly aired "Family Guy" re-runs, Chris Griffin marvels at how Kevin Costner keeps getting work. I was reminded of this after flipping though the infinite number of channels I have and stumbling across "Swing Vote" on one of my eight Starz channels.
I often pose the same amazement to underwhelming football coaches who keep getting cushy gigs.
Ladies and gentlemen, I deliver you Chan Gailey.
All at once, "How does Chan Gailey keep getting work?"
Late Monday, word began to leak that the Buffalo Bills, jilted at nearly every turn in their recent coaching search, have settled on former Dallas Cowboys head coach Chan Gailey.
I spoke for most Buffalo Bills fans when I threw up in my mouth just now.
Gailey is the definition of a retread coach.
This hire marks the 10th different spot Chan has coached at since 1990. So basically every two years, Chan's on the move. Which actually is a considerable time of job security when you consider he lasted all of six months as Kansas City's offensive coordinator before being fired prior to the start of the 2009 season.
Considered a great offensive mind in the 1990s, Gailey has gotten head coaching opportunities before with no real impressive accomplishments on the resume.
As a good ol' boy (a prerequisite for Dallas coaches not named Parcells), Gailey was handed the reigns of America's Team following the Barry Switzer years. Gailey coached the Cowboys for two seasons (1998-99) and reached the playoffs in both campaigns, however he failed to win a postseason game.
Sure it's great and all he made the playoffs, but it has to be said, the 1999 playoff appearance shouldn't really count. The NFC was ridiculously mediocre that year and the Cowboys made the postseason with an 8-8 record. Not to mention that Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith-led Dallas team was ousted by Jeff George of all people. That's right, Jeff "I'm A Walking Punchline" George. It was The Mulleted Cannon's only postseason victory in his distinguished career.
Gailey then coached at Georgia Tech from 2002 through 2007 and finished with a winning record (44-32), claiming Humanitarian Bowl and Champs Sports Bowl victories. Exciting stuff, no? Didn't think so. Gailey never beat rival Georgia, never won more than nine games in a season, never went to a BCS game and never finished in the top-25.
After finishing the 2007 regular season 7-5 and suffering a sixth straight defeat to Georgia, Gailey was bought out on the remaining year of his contract.
It's funny for a guy that's a supposed offensive whiz and quarterback guru, it took a Wishbone coach from Navy to turn Georgia Tech into an offensive force.
Bills fans heard names like Mike Shanahan, Bill Cowher and Brian Schottenheimer as possible replacements. All passed on the gig. The Bills haven't been relevant since Doug Flutie, and even then they were a novelty. They haven't been a real NFL presence since the four straight Super Bowl losses. Apparently, the lure of a head coaching gig in the NFL isn't enough to entice people to move to damn near Canada.
Word is Gailey's hire was basically facilitated through Cowher, who lobbied Gailey get the job.
So basically, Cowher stiff armed the Bills, then shat on their chest by recommending Gailey.
Just in case my in-mouth vomit didn't suffice as to the feelings of Buffalo Bills fans, let me leave it to Rayzer32 from Two Bills Drive, a Buffalo message board.
The post is titled, "After 35 years of being a Bills fan, I have hit rock bottom, and just find it hard to care anymore."
"When my friend that I share season tickets with asked me if I was going to re-up after the season, I told him of course. The Bills were then trying to lure Shanahan, Cowher, Gruden and Billick to lead this team. Since then the likes of Marty Schott, Brian Schott, Grimm and Harbaugh have said thanks, but no thanks to this team. I have never been embarrassed or ashamed to be a Bills fan until yesterday when I was on my way home to Rochester from Utica when I heard on the radio that Jim Harbaugh turned the Bills down. That was that I thought was rock bottom until today when I hear that Chan Gailey is all but the new HC of my beloved Buffalo Bills. WHAT! Are you kidding me? This is Jauron all over. Another clueless puppet on the sidelines who needs to be checked every 10 minutes for a !@#$ing plus. THIS IS THE BOTTOM!!!!
I will not renew my season tickets and will not purchase any Bills merchandise until this team is competitive again. I think I will have plenty of time to save my money. Chan FREAKING Gailey?? Unbelievable, or no excuse me, this unBILLievable. But in all reality it is BILLiebale. Until Ralph is taking a dirt nap, there is absolutely NO HOPE for this team.
Anyone who wants to say I was never a true Bills fan if I think this way, is a complete idiot. I have been a lifelong Bills fan through thick and thin and this is the worst I have ever seen it. To have so many coaches say no, they have no interest in coaching this team, that in itself is a complete embarrassment to me as a Bills fan. I am still a Bills fan, but only from the couch in my home.
A big F YOU to RW and the Bills franchise. You have ruined what football means to the hard working blue collar WNYers. I am just disgusted. Just one fans opinion."

Jodie Anderson, the executive director of the South Dakota
Cattlemen's Association, noted that the SDCA, along with the South Dakota
Stockgrowers Association and the South Dakota Sheep Growers Association,
established the South Dakota Rancher Relief Fund, so if people wanted they could
donate to those ranchers and farmers who were greatly affected by the winter
storm, Atlas, which hit in early October.
Along with the cooperation of the three organizations, the
funds donated to the rancher relief fund will be administered by the Black Hills
Area Community Foundation.
Anderson added that a committee has been put together to
figure out who will be eligible for the funding and how much each family will be
able to receive.
Although she didn't yet know if the fund would have enough
money to help the ranchers buy more cattle, because that will be dependent upon
the amount of donations that continue to pour in, she noted that ranchers will
be able to use the relief money they receive to help their family get back on
their feet, which may include paying bills that are due.
If the fund raises half a million dollars, while that is a
lot of money, Anderson mentioned that it would not really be enough to help the
producers buy livestock to replace the amount they lost to the blizzard.
People can visit giveblackhills.org to learn more about the
South Dakota Rancher Relief Fund and to make a donation.
"People need to understand, that, yes, we deal with winter
conditions a lot, but this one was unique because it was a real early storm,"
Anderson said, adding that the blizzard was preceded by a wet rain, before the
heavy snow came that brought with it blinding winds.

I'm thinking about going to Goodyear in late February – can I attend practices? Are there intra-squad games I can watch as well? How might I map out the perfect Reds day?

Teams are hit hard by graduation every year.
The Clearview Regional High School golf team took the brunt of it this season.
Gone are Austin Kohler, Sean Raimondo and Mike Vulpio — three players that were top four scorers for the Pioneers last year, two of which were South Jersey Times All-Stars.
"I was very fortunate," Lafferty said. "I unexpectedly got a crop of freshmen in and two of them will be playing varsity. (Freshmen) Billy Edwards and Shea Wolfe were a nice addition. They're shooting consistently in the low 40s. It's going to be hard to replace Austin, Sean and Mike, but I think we can stillbe contenders."
Co-captain Nick Cozzi is embracing the youth movement and the senior — who Lafferty pegged as his No. 1 — is looking forward to seeing what they can do.
"We lost three pretty good players and it's going to be tough to fill their shoes," he said. "I feel like the seniors this year really have to step it up. We're a young team. We lost three, but we gained nine freshmen and we're really focusing on our future.
"When you have freshmen that are shooting in the low 40s, that's a great sign for the future and I'm excited to see how they turn out."
The freshmen will be key in providing the Pioneers with depth. Cozzi will be relied on to get as close to a 39 each time out as he can.
"I think Nick is still playing his game right now and he's my solid No. 1," Lafferty said. "On some tough courses he might be in the mid-40s but you can almost guarantee he will be in the 39-42 range on most days."
In recent years, weather has played a big factor early in the golf season and this season has been no different. The pounding of snow from the winter hasn't given courses the time to recover and the constant cold weather has prevented a majority of high school teams from getting out to practice on a consistent basis.
Lafferty wanted to make sure the weather wouldn't be a factor for his team. The Pioneers have had about 10 practice sessions already, fighting through the elements in order to be ready for the start of the season next week.
"We don't have the luxury of practicing inside," Lafferty said. "We go out in terrible weather, it's the only way we're going to get better. It's been hard for the freshmen to adjust, but we can't be fair-weather golfers.
"All the teams are in the same boat. Other teams didn't get to practice early this year either, it's been awful. It comes down to how much you played in the summer. The weather is going to be a factor, that's what happens when you play the sport in March."
Weather aside, Lafferty still expects his team to score under 180 in matches and is hoping they get better throughout the year. He mentioned Williamstown and Gloucester Catholic, who boast stars in Tyler Reedman and Connor Goodrich, respectively, as the main competition for the Pioneers this season.
"Our goal is to stay within 165-175," he said. "We have to step up and work hard. We're really looking forward to a nice solid season."

It is a truth universally acknowledged that it is fun to write about food. Food we love. Food we hate. Holiday meals. Favorite places to eat. Special occasion restaurants. Grossest, worst, most horrible eating experience ever. Our memories seem intrinsically linked with food.
Bringing in poems about food to the classroom is pretty much the closest thing to a sure-fire fun lesson. Everyone can think of a horrible meal or an amazing meal or a place they love to go to eat.
One poem that seems to particularly resonate with students of all ages — including adults — is "Good Hot Dogs" by Sandra Cisneros. (For a video that combines an audio reading of the poem with its text, go here; for the poem's text, go here.)
"Good Hot Dogs" covers a lot of bases. It is a free verse memoir poem, evoking a youthful routine of going to a favored after-school place with friends, and it models sensory details, descriptions, and line breaks. Plus, it's just a great poem. You can feel the joy of running to get the hot dogs, the taste of the onions, picture the narrator swinging her legs, the lighthearted nature of the whole scene.
After reading the poem aloud, I ask students whether the narrator is an adult or a child. We discuss how the narrator feels about the hot dogs, and which descriptions and sensory details show the narrator's feelings.
"Good Hot Dogs" also has unique line breaks. Some lines only have a couple of words with sentences broken up and out of order. The poem serves as an example of how line breaks give a sense of rhythm to a poem, a guide to how the poem should be read. The structure is playful, contributing to the easygoing tone evoked in the poem.
As a warm-up, I ask students write a list of the following, which can of course be altered: five food items they love, five they hate, five places they love to eat, and five memorable meals. Students then choose one food or meal from their list to write their own version of "Good Hot Dogs", using sensory details and paying close attention to the line breaks. They can linger on the words to give them more emphasis, or list them all in one rush of one long line to show enthusiasm for Mom's cheesy enchiladas or sweet spaghetti and meatballs.
Mmm mmm good!

Maya: In Hebrew my name means water. In Hinduism, illusion. It is the NYC taxi driver's favorite question. A familiar yawn in Israel and one letter away from Palestine. It means I know you from somewhere. Soft and sharp: the meeting of hair and metal comb.
Find me one person in the world who has nothing to say about her name. (Then find me a writer who doesn't wish, longingly, to write like Sandra Cisneros.) Whether adored or despised, our names live with us. We cherish them, announce them proudly, turn away from them shamefully, shrug them away, change them, and twist them into nicknames. They are our identifiers and our travel companions. Points of mockery and praise, they make us cringe, stand tall, and perk our ears at their sound.
The chapter "Names" in Sandra Cisneros' House on Mango Street introduces us to Esperanza:
In English my name means hope. In Spanish it means too many letters. It means sadness, it means waiting. It is like the number nine. A muddy color. It is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving, songs like sobbing.
The lesson is simple. Students read this short chapter and then explore their own names in a free-write. The narrator's own playful and personal associations make it easy for students to dive into the deep waters of their own names. Without knowing Esperanza, we feel like we know her as we might an old friend, simply based on these vivid descriptions. And so we can get to know any young writer who takes the same plunge. Each voice, inevitably, sparkles.

My name is different and easy. It represents a shade of dark. Some people say it like it's a long name. A lot of times, people say it wrong. Only Spanish people say it right. My name represents everything about me—from my head to my toes—from my outside to my insides. My name comes from a beautiful place that I wish to visit. My name is also a sort of mistake, but as much as people make fun of my name and mess it up, the more I like it. I love my name: Magda Luz Chinea, and I will never change it. It is the reflection in my mirror.
My Name
By Ashanti Garner
My name. It's like a windy day or a huge black cloud. My name is like a question with no answer. I feel it's pointless. I don't know what it means, or hardly where it comes from, and I don't really care. My mother named me. I don't know what she was thinking. I wish I were Tiana or Emmanuella…
I believe most lesson plans can be tweaked to fit writers at all levels. This idea came to me a decade ago while getting an MFA in Creative Writing.
During a workshop, Honor Moore, author of The Bishop's Daughter, gave us a writing prompt and quickly added: "Don't forget to use descriptive detail. Appeal to all five senses."
I found her words humbling, because hours earlier I'd conveyed them to twelfth graders. Yet the message can't be repeated often enough as many writers, young and not so young, often share only what they see, omitting the other senses.
Fast forward to today, and I just finished teaching the use of sensory details to second- through fifth-graders whose skills vary depending on their age and placement in general education or a gifted and talented program.
The challenge: How to adapt one lesson plan to fit many needs?
With younger students (say first- through third-graders), I suggest spending a lot of time brainstorming, followed by creating a group description of their classroom.
As inspiration, I offer passages from The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, and Eudora Welty's One Writer's Beginnings. (more…)

Ian O'Doherty: It was just like watching Martina Luther King
Published 13/02/2014 | 02:30
It was the story that grew legs and has been cantering around the national psyche for the last few weeks, stopping only to grab you by the lapels and scream in your face: "Well, are you a homophobe? You are, aren't you? You want to beat up gay people and kill us all don't you, you horrible homophobe."
The chances are you didn't even realise that you were a homophobe, but that's the problem with the straights, you see. They fill you full of insidious propaganda and before you know it you're looking at a culchie in a frock and not finding him amusing or inspirational. Which means you are guilty of the 'H' word.
It's hard to think of a group of formerly oppressed people who have so managed to completely turn public sympathy against them. In fact, it's hard to imagine any debate in recent times when the average punter will hold both sides in equal, weary disdain.
In the green corner stand the social conservatives who have shown their willingness to sue when they feel slighted. In the pink corner, we have Team Panti, the ones who think that even mild disagreement is a sign of bigotry and oppression.
And then, in the neutral corner, stands the majority of the population who don't really care that much one way or the other. They are the ones who have a healthy dose of contempt for the strident, tedious militants who have hijacked the debate from the original participants and are duking it out in an increasingly ridiculous war of words. And before we start to lose the run of ourselves, this is a war in which those militants on both sides seem quite happy to slur and smear the other.
The irony, of course, is that both sides are equally quick to cry about oppression and being silenced. So much so, in fact, that barely a day goes by without them taking to the newspapers, radio and television to loudly complain about not being allowed on radio, TV or in the papers.
In the interests of full disclosure I shall now out myself and go public with a shameful admission that has been haunting me – I watched the Panti speech at the Abbey and it was... ridiculous.
I know, I know. We're all good liberal, tolerant folk and we are all meant to stand up on our hind legs and applaud Rory O'Neill for putting on a dress and talking about how much he hates himself.
But here's the thing – if Rory O'Neill hates himself that's his problem. Not mine. Or yours.
What has been hailed as a brilliant piece of courageous civil rights oration was, in reality, an example of someone quite literally playing to the crowd. It was a perfect, shining example of whining self-pity that took an issue of genuine substance and turned it into a tour de force of preening, self-regarding emoting designed to make people feel bad because poor Rory didn't like himself.
To which the response is: who cares? Why should anybody outside his inner circle of friends and family care if he is down on himself? And why should we be expected to applaud him for it?
Of course, orthodoxy is orthodoxy regardless of what flag it flies and the gay orthodoxy states that if you weren't moved to tears by his speech, or you don't want him to be the Grand Marshall at the Paddy's Day parade, then you must be one of those Russian nutters who likes beating up gay people.
You see, there's one argument that is conveniently missing from the debate – lots of people grew up hating themselves. It's a normal part of adolescence and I don't know anyone who didn't experience the odd bout of self-loathing – after all, only true sociopaths are immune from this very human condition.
Does that make me a homophobe? Well you can call me that if you want and, unlike the plaintiffs in the recent case, I won't sue. Part of that is down to a professional disgust at journalists who run to the lawyers but the main reason is that I really, genuinely don't care what people think of me on this issue. I know who I am and I'm comfortable with my views.
But here's a free piece of advice to Panti and his numerous supporters – wearing a dress and referring to yourself as 'she' is a bit rich when you're demanding to be taken seriously. You're not a woman, you're a man.
Anyone ever heard of Mrs Pussy? Nope, me neither.
Oh and by the way, Panti, I hate to break it you – but that speech really was pants.
So, the head teacher in a school in Wales has contacted parents after kids as young as six were "recreating scenes of murder and rape in the playground" after playing Grand Theft Auto.
And the parents have, quelle surprise, started to play the blame game, saying that their children are the victims of these evil doodads.
Here's a question they might like to answer – if you saw a DVD that contained ultra violence, extremely bad language, nudity and a rather loose attitude towards how men should treat women, would you let your kids watch it?
Of course not – so anyone dumb enough to let a six-year-old play something that is very obviously marked 'Strictly Over 18s' can't really complain when their precious little snowflake arrives home from school and talks about killing bitches, shooting some homies and hi-jacking a car.
Would you believe tomorrow is the day when most people get dumped, which is rather hilarious – unless you are the dumped.
So, lads, in an effort to show just how much you want your relationship to survive, why don't you disappear for the day and go drinking with your mates instead?
And when Herself finally tracks you down and demands to know why you bugged out on this day of all days, simply explain that you love her so much you were afraid she would dump you on Valentine's Day and so you went to ground to preserve your perfect happiness.
And please, do get in touch when the wounds heal and tell me how it went.

A reminder to what's new in the PC version:
Also of note is that you can use the keyboard and mouse in tandem with a game controller, such as the wireless Xbox 360 controller, allowing you to use the keyboard and mouse for precision aiming and the controller for driving. Or whatever you like best.
There'll be custom match filtering for multiplayer games, though it sounds like there might be something else in the works. "At this time, all we're talking about is the custom match filtering," said Nelson. "You'll be able to create a multiplayer match with any number of specifications, and others can search for something that is just right." Players also get a built-in video editor to splice together replays, more control options and, as you might expect, better graphics.
The article is very interesting, especially if you've got a great PC and are looking forward to playing the game. If your computer is, shall we say, sh*t, then you may find the article upsetting. Check it out at IGN.

NEWPORT – A federal agency has issued its final report on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's decision to move its Pacific Operations center to Newport, concluding that the process was flawed, but that even without those flaws, Newport would have won the lease.
As requested by U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and U.S Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, the inspector general with the U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed competitive bidding that awarded the center to Newport over three Washington sites.
According to the report, the review found that NOAA limited its options and failed to consider the use of existing facilities, but that those decisions were made long before the agency initiated the selection process.
"There were errors and weaknesses in NOAA's competitive lease acquisition source selection; however, the outcome of the competition … is unlikely to have changed in the absence of the weaknesses and errors in the source selection process," Inspector General Todd Zinser wrote in a cover letter addressed to the senators.
In a Senate Finance Committee hearing last week, Cantwell questioned Commerce Secretary Gary Locke on the operations center now under construction in Newport, threatening, according to a press release, that "If the project goes ahead in the face of official warnings contained in an IG letter about faulty procedure … the next step would be for Congress to consider halting funding."
The inspector general doesn't have the authority to call for changes in NOAA's selection, but acts in an advisory role only.

Oil prices rose today on fears of supply disruptions after militants bombed three oil pipelines in southern Nigeria.
"Fighters of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta attacked and destroyed three major pipelines ... We will continue indefinitely with attacks on all pipelines, platforms and support vessels," the group said in an e-mail.
Light, sweet crude for June delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange rose 12 cents to $61.59 a barrel in electronic trading by midday in Europe. The contract fell 46 cents a barrel on Monday. Brent crude for June delivery gained 41 cents to $64.85 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
The market has also been awaiting the release of a midweek U.S. government report expected to show an increase in domestic gasoline inventories. Analysts surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expected gasoline stocks to rise by 370,000 barrels last week, on average, in a weekly report to be released Wednesday by the U.S. Energy Department.
An increase in gasoline stocks, which would be the first in 13 consecutive weeks, could help assuage supply concerns ahead of the peak demand summer driving season, which begins at the Memorial Day holiday weekend at the end of May. Unplanned outages and scheduled maintenance at refineries, sluggish imports and strong demand have plagued gasoline supplies.
There have been at least a dozen additional partial shutdowns in the U.S. and internationally that cut refining capacity. Heating oil futures rose 1.12 cents to $1.8141 a gallon while natural gas prices dropped 5.9 cents to $7.720 per 1,000 cubic feet.

It's often been said that that momentum is one of the most overused terms in the world of sports.
But after watching some of the more notable events of the past week, I would beg to differ.
Take our forlorn Detroit Tigers, for example.
The Tigers were deflated in the opening game of the World Series when their erstwhile pitching ace Justin Verlander turned in a subpar performance. Verlander has been constantly lauded as the top pitcher in the major leagues by every media outlet the past two seasons.
But the San Francisco Giants used the momentum from their pounding of him in the opener to roll over the Detroiters in an embarrassing four games.
The Tigers played the entire series without any fire or spark. In short, they never regained any momentum.
Then, there were the impressive performances by the Calumet Copper Kings and L'Anse Purple Hornets in the opening round of the high school football playoffs.
Calumet, which came in riding a six-game winning streak, steamrolled Manistique from the get-go in a 45-0 win.
After three tough losses (to Northland Pines, Negaunee and Ishpeming) to open the season, the Kings were basically in playoff mode the rest of the way just to qualify for the postseason.
That sort of urgency led to some great momentum for coach John Croze's club. Many people, including myself, believe that CHS can knock off Negaunee this Friday night in the rematch of the two teams.
L'Anse, on the other hand, had to remove to a 900-pound gorilla off its back when it met Forest Park last week.
The Trojans have long been a nemesis of the Purple Hornets.
Even when L'Anse won the Barber Trophy in 1970 as the top big school in the Upper Peninsula, Crystal Falls put the only blemish on their 7-0-1 record with a 6-6 tie.
Over the years, FP has always been there to chill the hopes of the Purple Gang. Of course, the Trojans have ended many team's hopes over the past three decades. But the defeats they have pinned on L'Anse have been particularly galling.
A 1976 meeting of the two undefeated schools was a good example of that. Although the Hornets had what most observers considered to be a more talented team, the Trojans used their mystique - and a couple of breaks - to score a 20-6 victory.
So, when the Mark Leaf-coached Hornets pulled out a miraculous last-minute 34-28 win at Meadowbrook Field last week, they gained tremendous momentum.
Whether they can parlay that big win into an upset of No. 1-ranked North Dickinson this week is another question.
But the junior-dominated LHS squad, who I believe will be the team to watch out for next season, at least has the confidence to pull off the feat.
And that's what momentum is all about.

Chopper chase after violent Echo Glen escape; Teens recaptured
Six inmates from the Echo Glen Children's Center in Snoqualmie are back in custody after a late-night escape on Saturday, Sept. 22.
The group of boys, three 14-year-olds and three 15-year-olds, assaulted a guard at the detention facility around 11:10 p.m.
Before fleeing into nearby woods the boys knocked out the guard, stole her keys and radio, and locked her in a room, where she was found, still unconscious, 20 minutes later by other inmates.
Officers from the King County Sheriff's Department, Washington State Patrol and Snoqualmie Police Department all responded to the incident.
"When this happens, we call in everybody from everywhere," said King County Sheriff's spokeswoman Katie Larson, who estimated at least 15 sheriff's deputies aided in the search.
Officers quickly set up a search perimeter in the woods, and deployed canine search teams. They also called King County's Guardian One helicopter, which was instrumental in narrowing down the location of the fugitives.
"Guardian One went up and then using the FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared Thermal Imaging), they were able to find the heat signatures (of the boys)" Larson said.
"Initially, they were all together, but when they looked up and saw Guardian One, they split up into three groups of two," she added.
Search teams on foot were directed by information from the helicopter, and using search dogs, they had located all six of the escapees.
"By 2:30 in the morning, we had everybody," Larson said.
One boy, bitten by a police dog during the search, was taken to Harborview Medical Center for treatment. The other five were booked into the King County Youth Center in Seattle, and all will be charged with felony counts of second-degree assault and unlawful imprisonment for their treatment of the guard, and a felony count of escape.
The six fugitives were considered high-risk because of their previous convictions on assault and/or firearms charges.

Protests in Germany over raids
AP | May 11, 2007
BERLIN - Thousands of people staged spontaneous demonstrations overnight in major German cities, police said Thursday, after nationwide raids against anti-globalization activists suspected of plotting to disrupt next month's Group of Eight summit.
Hamburg police detained eight demonstrators who threw stones and bottles at officers securing the protests, staged outside the offices of a main activist group that had been raided. Another four demonstrators were arrested in Berlin, although protests there remained peaceful.
Supporters of Germany's anti-globalization activists called the demonstrations hours after hundreds of officers, acting on a warrant from federal prosecutors, searched 40 offices and apartments used by left-wing protesters in Berlin, Hamburg and elsewhere.
Prosecutors said they were investigating more than 18 people suspected of organizing what they called a terrorist group that planned to carry out firebombings and other violent attacks aimed at hindering or stopping the world leaders from holding the June 6-8 summit in the northern resort town of Heiligendamm.
"The militant extreme left groups and their members are suspected of having founded a terrorist group, or of being members of such an organization, with the specific goal of staging fire bombings and other violent attacks in order to disrupt or prevent the upcoming G-8 summit in Heiligendamm," federal prosecutors said in a statement.
Germany's interior ministry announced it would tighten border controls to screen out violent protesters. People can usually travel freely within the European Union but individual countries maintain the right to tighten checks for security purposes.
Violence has marred past summits, particularly in 2001 in Genoa, Italy, when police and protesters clashed in the streets for days.
Activists, who will hold approved marches in nearby Rostock ahead of the summit, said the raids were aimed at silencing protests against the G-8, disrupting communication among anti-globalization groups and tracking down the names of individuals involved in them.
German security officials have built a $17-million fence around the northern seaside resort of Heiligendamm, hoping to keep protesters away. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is hosting the event, and the leaders of the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Italy, Canada, and Japan are to attend.
The protesters say they oppose the G-8 summit because the world's rich leaders ignore the suffering of people in developing countries while unrestrained globalization helps big business at the expense of the environment and workers.

PITTSBURGH - Ryan Matsook seemed baffled at the podium after the WPIAL "AA" championship game.
"Our goal coming in to this game was to try to get something established early and keep the ball away from them (Jeannette)," he said.
But did Matsook's plan go true to form? In a word, no.
"That's the worst way the first 5 minutes of a game can start," he said. "It was the longest first quarter of my life."
Jeannette (13-0) scored 27 first quarter points and never looked back. The Jayhawks led the Tigers (11-2) by as many as 55 points, and won going away 61-12 to capture its 7th WPIAL championship and second consecutive title at Heinz Field.
With the win, Jeannette will play the winner of tomorrow's District 9 AA title game between Moniteau and Karns City next weekend at a site and time to be determined later.
Jeannette was Jeannette was Jeannette in this one. That's the one-sentence story. But Jeannette did more than can be summed up in just one sentence.
Terrelle Pryor was Terrelle Pryor, as usual. The phenom quarterback ran for 166 yards and 2 touchdowns and went 5-of-5 passing for another 81 yards and 2 more touchdowns. He's got 17 rushing and passing touchdowns this postseason.
"He's the best player I've ever seen in my brief coaching career," Matsook said. "He makes it look easy."
Jeannette ran for 368 yards in the game and rolled up 449 yards of offense in 51 plays. 3 Jeannette touchdowns went for 35 or more yards. Only 3 Jayhawk scores came from under 10 yards: a 3-yard run by Jordan Hall, a 1-yard run by Jordan Hall, and a 1-yard run by Cameron Baradziej.
"We have a lot of weapons and we've been very fortunate," Jeannette head coach Ray Reitz said.
Jeannette topped the 60-point plateau for the 6th time this season, and hasn't been held below 40 points all season long. The Hawks have scored 735 points this season through 13 games, just 12 points behind Southern Columbia's state record of 747 points a season ago.
Jeannette's 61 points were the most points scored in a WPIAL championship game since 1980 and topped the previous mark set by the now-absolved Duquense High School, who beat West Greene High 55-0 in the 1993 Class A title game.
"We're making history," said Pryor. "We're breaking all kinds of records."
And Jeannette's defense, dominant as ever, forced 5 turnovers and held Beaver Falls to 152 total yards of offense.
The Tigers' lone big play was an 87-yard kickoff return by multi-purpose threat Todd Thomas, which sliced the score to 21-6.
That was as close as Beaver Falls would get.
Pryor had a hand in Jeannette's first 3 touchdowns. Sandwiched between touchdown passes of 13 and 35 yards to Nick Spino and Jordan Hall was Pryor's 14-yard scoring run.
Hall added runs of 3 and 1 yards and James Derry returned a fumble 19 yards to build the red and blue a 42-6 halftime lead.
Pryor opened the second half with a 61-yard touchdown run on a keeper right up the middle. Justin Kettren added a 60-yard burst to paydirt and Baradzeij closed out the scoring.
Beaver Falls scored its second touchdown on a Craig Harris 13-yard burst.
Thomas finished with 29 total yards of offense for the Tigers, who finished with 122 yards rushing and just 5 first downs.
Hall ran for 72 yards and 2 scores for Jeannette, and also had 53 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Colonial Revival 2-Light Fixture w/Painted Shades, c1920 Item # R3070
The 1920s saw the convergence of two popular trends – the Colonial Revival and the stamped pan light. Combined in countless ways, Colonial pan lights were ubiquitous in all types of houses – from bungalows to foursquares to Dutch Colonials – yet they always felt right at home with their clean lines, restrained detailing, and casually formal character.
This example features a simple pan with leafy husks and floral motifs on the lovely hand-painted shades, and might have hung in an entry, a stairway, a breakfast nook, or a bedroom.

Makes a little more than 2 quarts
8 organic lemons (untreated)
1 liter Diesel Grain Neutral Spirits, 190 proof
2 X cups sugar
1 quart plus X cup bottled still (non-carbonated) water
Peel the lemons, leaving a little white attached to the peel. Reserve lemons for other uses. Place lemon peels in a large glass or ceramic container with the alcohol; close container well with a lid, or seal with a layer of plastic wrap, then a layer of aluminum foil.
Leave in a cool place for at least 4 days, preferably a week, gently shaking a couple of times a day. The peels will lose their brilliant yellow color.
On the fifth day or later, prepare a syrup by heating together the sugar and water, making sure the water never quite boils; let slowly simmer 5 minutes, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Let syrup cool.
Strain the lemon-scented alcohol through gauze or a strainer, and mix alcohol into the syrup; shake liquid well before pouring into pretty bottles with caps or corks. Let the limoncello sit for 2 to 3 days before serving cold in tall shot glasses or liqueur glasses; it will last indefinitely in the refrigerator or freezer.

Georgia Trying to Change the Rules
Forsyth County, Ga., located just outside the metropolitan Atlanta area, is tying to change the county's Unified Development Code for heliports and helipads according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The proposed changes would permit the county to locate heliports and helipads in commercial and agricultural districts. The County Commission is also looking at requiring larger setbacks for heliports or helipads abutting property that is zoned for residential or agricultural use. For related news

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Former Birmingham Health Care CEO Jonathan Dunning and the nonprofit health care organization he once oversaw want the court to throw out sexual harassment charges made by a former employee.
The motion filed in U.S. District Court in Birmingham this week also asks for attorneys' fees.
Former BHC employee Sharon Waltz filed the suit naming Dunning and BHC on Feb. 14 in Jefferson County Circuit Court but it has since been moved to federal court.
The suit follows a complaint last year by Waltz to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC investigation ended Jan. 2 with the commission "unable to conclude that the information obtained establishes violation of the statute" -- but the EEOC gave her the right to sue.
She did, alleging that Dunning, while threatening termination if she did not comply, made videos of Waltz and Dunning having sex, forced her to wear sexy outfits and have sex with him in his office. Dunning has admitted to fathering two children with Waltz, but has strongly denied in court pleadings the other allegations.
In their recent court filings, Dunning and BHC say that the allegations filed under Title VII, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, don't apply to individuals -- so Dunning "cannot be held liable under Title VII."
Dunning and BHC also claim that Waltz failed to name BHC in her EEOC charge, and when she did file, the complaint, it was too late. The filings contend that such claims must be filed within 180 days "after the alleged unlawful employment practice occurred."
Waltz worked for BHC from 2002 to 2009.
Waltz has until May 3 to reply to the move for dismissal, according to an order by Magistrate Judge John E. Ott.

SPRINGFIELD -- A line of thunderstorms with the potential to produce "torrential" rainfall is expected to move through western Massachusetts late Tuesday morning.
"At 10:20 am edt...National Weather Service doppler radar was tracking a line of thunderstorms with heavy rain along a line extending from Buckland to 31 miles west of Tolland," reads a hazardous weather statement issued by the agency Tuesday morning.
The storms were moving east at 35 miles per hour, the agency reported, and were expected to track through northern Connecticut and Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, and northwestern Worcester counties in Massachusetts.
"Heavy downpours and frequent lightning can be expected with these storms," the statement reads. Motorists may encounter minor roadway flooding.
CBS3 Meteorologist Nick Morganelli reports that humid air is moving into the region.
"We can expect a sunny, more humid end to the day as dew point temperatures rise into the 60s tonight and remain there through Thursday," Morganelli wrote Tuesday morning, adding that more storms are expected later in the week: "A cold front will plow through Thursday night bringing a round of storms to the region. Once it slides east Friday morning, a busy northwest wind will transport dry, comfortable air to western MA Friday and into the weekend with another Canadian high pressure building in."

Sometimes, when head coach Joe Goerge is yelling at T.J. Taylor for something, the player will just ignore it and pretend Goerge is yelling at some other T.J.
That can happen at South Brunswick, because two of the main weapons happen to be Taylor, a standout wide receiver, and quarterback T.J. Perkowski.
Taylor and Perkowski have a lot more in common than a nickname.
They have been buddies since as far as back as they can remember, are both multi-sport athletes and are both outstanding students heading to Rutgers University - Taylor for football, Perkowski for baseball.
More importantly, the T.J.'s will be leading their program into the first sectional championship game in school history. South Brunswick (9-2) will have the challenge of stopping unbeaten and top-seeded Manalapan in the Central Jersey, Group 5 championship game on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Rutgers.
"T.J. and I are very close. We started playing basketball together in the fourth grade and we've had a strong connection ever since,'' Taylor said. "We hang out together every weekend. When he announced he was going to Rutgers for baseball, he told his family and me, that was it. He told me to keep it a secret for a week before he announced it.''
T.J. Perkowski played in a platoon system last year and was more of the running QB, while the graduated Dan Gorzynski was more of a passer. The combination worked as South Brunswick turned in the best season in school history, going 10-1.
When Goerge took over the program in 2012, he was expecting to be a predominantly running team. But once he saw the arm development of Perkowski early on, he did what any great coach would do, which is adapt his style to his personnel.
"I didn't expect to be a throwing team at all,'' said Goerge, the well-traveled veteran who went to three sectional finals at Franklin, winning twice. "But as I saw T.J.'s arm strength in the pre-season, everything started to evolve. We're not going to throw the ball 30 times a game, but I think we have a nice balance.''
Perkowski (6-0, 170) has put up crazy all-around numbers, with 1,274 yards passing and 11 TDs on 66-of-144 efficiency while rushing for 764 rushing yards and 11 TDs on 120 carries. That adds up to 2,037 yards and 22 touchdowns.
Perkowski's main target is Taylor, an agile 6-3, 195-pounder who has caught 28 passes for 534 yards and four touchdowns. Taylor is also outstanding on defense, where he has been recognized as one of the top secondary men in the Greater Middlesex Conference for three years.
"All I have to do, especially in big situations, is throw the ball up because I know T.J. will catch it,'' said Perkowski, heading to Rutgers as a pitcher. "We have been playing together for so long, it's second nature.''
Goerge has seen his share of outstanding quarterback/receiver combinations in his day, most noticeably his son, Mike, and Paul Podlaski at Franklin in the late 1990s, but he will put his T.J.'s up there with anyone.
"The chemistry they have is special,'' Goerge said. "The thing about T.J. Taylor is that he does it time after time in the big games when the big play has to be made. He's a kid who plays every snap offensively, defensively and special teams.''

Hartsville head football coach Jeff Calabrese has released a letter to the media with his only statement on the death of Red Foxes defensive lineman Ronald Rouse. Rouse collapsed and died on Friday during Hartsville's game against Crestwood. He was laid to rest on Wednesday.
Personal Letter from Jeff Calabrese, HHS Head Coach:
October 10, 2012
Dear Media,
Thank you for your patience. I decided to write a letter because, quite frankly, I am having a hard time with my wordsâ?¦.even finding the correct things to say, but I will try. I need you all to understand that I really love our players; our coaches love our players; and I believe our players love us. Ronald and I had an extremely close relationship. I have been absolutely devastated, and have only been able to stand because of my trust in God.
Telling our players of Ronaldâ??s death was the most excruciating thing I have ever had to do. After the words somehow came out of my mouth, our coaches immediately tried to console our boys. As coaches, we had to find a way to be strong for our kids. Grown men have had experiences in their lives that young men have not. We HAD to find the courage to be there for them. Again, I believe God gave us [as a staff] that ability.
I have never been more proud of a group of young men in my life. These kids have drawn strength from each other, family, and their faith.
Ronald was a very special young man whom I loved dearly. The depth of his personality canâ??t really be put into words. Everyone has had a â??Rouse Momentâ??. We have been sharing those moments for three days, and we will keep goingâ?¦the stories are endless. Ronald also knew the Bible very well, and was proud of his faith. If you were in Ronaldâ??s life, you basically experienced every emotion there is, and sometimes that was on a daily basis. Ronald was a true blessing and we all are grateful for the time we shared.
While football is not the most important thing right now, we had to come up with a plan to move forward. Our players thought that playing on Friday was the best option. I do not know how we will play, or to be honest, what kind of job I have actually done this weekâ?¦.The victory is in finding the courage and strength to take the field.

"130XjBY">Our skin plays a major role in our overall health. After all, it's our largest organ and the body's first line of defense against environmental factors. Shouldn't we make it a priority?
Clear, healthy skin takes work. Not work as in labor, but an understanding of how our lifestyle choices affect the look and feel of our skin. Skincare options can be overwhelming but really the most important steps of basic skincare don't require much time and money at all.
Last week I provided my 5 Steps to Healthy Summer Skin which are half product-based, half lifestyle-based. When I looked into what medical professionals consider the top steps for optimum skincare, not surprisingly many are the same. But what's most interesting to note is that maintaining good skin doesn't require a lot of money or fancy state-of-the-art treatments. Healthy skin comes from being mindful and applying common sense.
The Mayo Clinic's top 2 tips for skincare are "protect yourself from the sun" and "don't smoke." Followed by "treat your skin gently," "eat a healthy diet," and "manage stress." All doable, right? But when it comes down to it, I can totally point out the wholes in my skincare routine. My diet is just so so and "manage stress?" Well, with two small kids and a ton of deadlines, that's the first thing to go out the window and my skin reflects it.
As I've gotten older though, I've gotten much better with sun protection, which is a major factor in skincare and aging. Fortunately, the beauty industry has embraced the need for sun protection in its products and most of the moisturizers I use contain SPF. I'm currently using "130XjBY" target="_blank">Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with Sunscreen. It has a broad spectrum SPF in it so it's one less thing I have to worry about when I'm running out the door. Although, the key to optimizing your SPF is to constantly reapply it throughout the day!
Do you use moisturizer with sunscreen?
AVEENO® Daily Moisturizing Lotion: Give your skin a naturally beautiful fresh start. This nourishing lotion improves the health of your skin in just 1 day! It contains ACTIVE NATURALS® Colloidal Oatmeal and is blended with rich emollients to help protect and soothe dry skin.

A Washington Township roofing company owner on Tuesday admitted to failing to report nearly $4 million in his business' gross receipts.
Kenneth Morton, owner of Kenal Enterprises LLC and Ken Morton Roofing and Siding, pleaded guilty in federal court to filing false income tax returns for three tax years.
According to testimony, Morton cashed $3,946,046 of Kenal's gross receipts at a check cashing agency from early 2007 to late 2009. Most of that money was not deposited into his business bank account or reported on his individual income tax returns.
Broken down by year, Morton had unreported gross receipts of $1,343,348 in 2007, $1,471,430 in 2008 and $1,131,268 in 2009. That meant a loss of $241,412 to the Internal Revenue Service, authorities said.
Morton faces a maximum possible sentence of three years in prison and a $250,000 fine, as well as restitution to the IRS. His sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 6.

All fine and good until I look at the minimum OAL listed at 2.800". That's not going to chamber at least not on my Marlin, Let alone feeding correctly with a chamber length of 2.582". Does anybody know what's going on here? what is this load apply to? Certainly not the Marlin or Winchester 30-30. Thanks

Plays Published in American Theatre
In November 1985, American Theatre magazine's second year of existence, Emily Mann's Execution of Justice appeared in its pages. It was the first full play text the magazine had published. Since then, the list (see below) has grown to more than 150 plays—so, you could say the idea stuck.
To celebrate our 150th play in April 2013, we launched the podcast series AT OffScript, in which we'll revisit many of these plays with their authors. The first episodes have featured Young Jean Lee, Richard Foreman, David Lindsay-Abaire, Donald Margulies, Melissa James Gibson, David Henry Hwang, and Philip Kan Gotanda. Click on the play titles in orange to listen to these new interviews, read previously published Q&As with the playwrights and more. To subscribe to AT OffScript, click here.
