"Communist-Trained" Obama's "Massive" "Conspiracy": Extremist NRA Goes Over The Edge
Research ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
Over the past two weeks, leaders of the National Rifle Association have embarked on a campaign of extremist rhetoric and wild conspiracies. They have called federal law enforcement agents "jack-booted thugs," referred to President Obama as "Communist-trained," and described a "massive Obama conspiracy" in which the administration plans to push for the repeal of the Second Amendment. The organization has also pushed a radical legislative agenda during that period, calling for a national concealed carry reciprocity bill that law enforcement groups call "dangerous" and pushing for concealed firearms on college campuses.
NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre
LaPierre: "Massive Obama Conspiracy" To "Deceive" Gun Owners, Repeal Second Amendment. In a September 23 speech at Florida's Conservative Political Action Conference, LaPierre said:
LaPIERRE: [I]n public, [President Obama will] remind us that he's put off calls from his party to renew the old Clinton [assault weapons] gun ban, he hasn't pushed for new gun control laws, and he'll even say he looked the other way when Congress passed a couple of minor pro-gun bills by huge majorities. The president will offer the Second Amendment lip service and hit the campaign trail saying he's actually been good for the Second Amendment.
But it's a big fat stinking lie, just like all the other lies that have come out of this corrupt administration. It's all part -- it's all part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment in our country. [...]
Before the President was even sworn into office, they met and they hatched a conspiracy of public deception to try to guarantee his re-election in 2012. [...]
And Obama himself is no fool. So when he got elected, they concocted a scheme to stay away from the gun issue, lull gun owners to sleep, and play us for fools in 2012. Well, gun owners are not fools, and we are not fooled. We see the president's strategy crystal clear: get re-elected, and with no other re-elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms freedom. Erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights and exorcise it from the U.S. Constitution. That's their agenda. [LaPierre speech, 9/23/11, via Media Matters]
LaPierre: ATF's Operation Fast And Furious Was Intended To Push Gun Control. In a column for the NRA's publications, executive vice president Wayne LaPierre wrote:
In one of the best descriptions of "Fast and Furious," Robert Farago wrote in the Washington Times that " ...The agency's motive for creating a program that violated Mexican sovereignty and put innocent lives at risk: inflating the number of American firearms recovered at Mexican crime scenes. The more blood-soaked American guns in Mexico the ATF could identify for its congressional paymasters, the more compelling its case for increased federal funding and new agency-enforced gun-control regulations. In short, 'Operation Fast and Furious' was an anti-gun-running gun-running program."
All of this was done to bring about Barack Obama's promised "under the radar" gun control. The BATFE/Justice response to getting caught in this bloody scandal is to double down. Breathtaking. [NRAPublications.org, accessed 9/28/11]

LaPierre: Gun Owners Should Respond By "Marshalling Our Collective Power" To "Unelect" Obama And "His Anti-Gun-Owner Axis In Congress." In his column LaPierre wrote:
With President Obama ignoring the law and the Constitution, and with his total lack of cooperation with Congress in the oversight of "Operation Fast and Furious," the only way we will truly change this continuing outrage is to change the regime this coming election year.
Gun owners must begin marshalling our collective power to unelect not only Obama and his crowd, but to unelect his anti-gun-owner axis in Congress." [NRAPublications.org, accessed 9/28/11]
NRA Board Member Ted Nugent
Nugent: Federal Law Enforcement Officials Are "Jack-Booted Thugs." In a September 15 appearance on NRA Radio's Cam & Company, Nugent referred to the Fish and Wildlife Service officers who raided Gibson Guitars on suspicion that company had illegally imported Indian hardwood as "jack-booted thugs":
CAM EDWARDS (HOST): And you didn't have anyone from the Obama administration come to try to confiscate your Gibson Birdland?
NUGENT: No, but we welcome them on a nightly basis because I had about 30 magnificent Gibson on display. This is before the jack-booted thugs decided to do an armed raid on Gibson for wood questions. [NRA Radio, Cam & Company, 9/15/11]
- LaPierre Forced To Apologize In 1995 After NRA Fundraising Letter Called Law Enforcement "Jack-Booted Thugs." From a 1995 Associated Press article:
The National Rifle Association has apologized for a recent fund-raising letter that described some federal agents as "jack-booted thugs."
"I really feel bad about the fact that the words in that letter have been interpreted to apply to all federal law-enforcement officers," NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said in a telephone interview from Phoenix.
"If anyone thought the intention was to paint all federal law-enforcement officials with the same broad brush, I'm sorry, and I apologize," LaPierre said yesterday. [...]
LaPierre's apology comes after a week of steadily mounting criticism of the NRA. It began May 10 when former President Bush revealed he had resigned from the group to protest the letter. Earlier this week, President Clinton joined the critics and praised Bush. [AP, 5/18/95]
Nugent: Obama Is "Communist-Raised, Communist-Educated, Communist-Trained." In his NRA Radio appearance, Nugent further stated:
NUGENT: You know who I blame, Cam?
CAM EDWARDS (HOST): Who's that?
NUGENT: The American people. We talk about this every year before we do the NRA annuals, and I've always condemned the curse of apathy. And of course, the curse of apathy has a name, and it's we the people. We have bent over so far as a citizenry in this country that we've allowed a communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-trained, a church-goer to the hate-America church, we've allowed him to become the president of the United States of America, because we bent over that far. We've allowed our federal agents to get away with this kind of jack-booted thuggery. [NRA Radio, Cam & Company, 9/15/11]
Nugent's Theory Of Law Enforcement: Officials Should Have Called Gibson And Asked To Come Look At Their Receipts. In Nugent's September 20 appearance on Fox Business' Lou Dobbs Tonight, he said of the Gibson raid:
NUGENT: What they did to Gibson Guitars is so illogical, so anti-American, so contrary to the claims of creating jobs, they shut down a globally-revered American craftsman, Gibson Guitars. And you know, Lou, I'm just a guitar player, but let me know how I would have done it if I heard that maybe Gibson had some illegal wood. I wouldn't get an armed raid like I was going after some child rapist or murderers or drug runners, of course, then we'd have to arrest the ATF. What I would do is I would call Gibson and say, "Hey, can I come down and look at your receipts? I hear you got some bad wood." Can you believe the depth of abuse and the outrageous assault on freedom and positive forces in this country? [Fox Business, Lou Dobbs Tonight, 9/20/11]
Nugent: "Modern-Day Economic Slavery" Is A "Hallmark Of The Democratic Party." In his September 21 Washington Times column, Nugent wrote:
The Democratic fear-mongering machine is on a full-tilt boogie to scare the elderly into believing that Mr. Perry wants to throw them out in the street. Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth, but no one with an ounce of brains has ever thought truth was a core value of the Democratic Party or its media. Dishonest scare tactics and modern-day economic slavery are the hallmarks of the Democratic Party.
When elected president, Mr. Perry won't order the Treasury Department to stop mailing out Social Security checks to the elderly. What he is going to do is revamp the program so that future generations of Americans aren't subjected to the same Ponzi-scheme-like fraud that has been forced on retirees. [Washington Times, 9/21/11]
"The Real Architects Of The Destruction Of Black America Are Democratic Party Members." In his September 27 column, Nugent wrote of actor Morgan Freeman:
If Mr. Freeman could further remove his racist blinders and study the historical condition of black America, he would find the black community was vibrant and strong 60 years ago. This is not the case today. Instead of leaping to ugly and unfounded charges of racism, Mr. Freeman should ask some fundamental questions about what has happened to black America and who is responsible for the destruction.
The real architects of the destruction of black America are Democratic Party members who have lied to and manipulated black Americans into believing that the federal government is the answer to improving their condition when, in reality, it is the destroyer of black America. [Washington Times, 9/27/11]
NRA's Radical Legislative Agenda
National Concealed Carry Reciprocity. From a September 23 NRA press release:
As we reported last week, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security recently held a hearing on H.R. 822, the "National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011."
This critically important bill, introduced earlier this year by Congressmen Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) and cosponsored by more than 240 of their colleagues, would enable millions of permit holders to exercise their right to self-defense while traveling outside their home states.
There is currently only one remaining state (Illinois) that has no clear legal way for individuals to carry concealed firearms for self-defense. Forty states have permit systems that make it possible for any law-abiding person to obtain a permit, while most of the others have discretionary permit systems. (Vermont has never required a permit.)
H.R. 822 would mark a major step forward for gun owners' rights by significantly expanding where those permits are recognized. [NRA release, 9/23/11]
For the truth about the reciprocity bill, including complaints from law enforcement groups that it would be "dangerous" for their members, click here.
Concealed Weapons On Idaho College Campuses. From a September 25 AP article:
A National Rifle Association lobbyist says the guns-right lobby will attempt to persuade Idaho lawmakers next year to allow people to carry concealed weapons on college campuses without a permit.
The Idaho State Journal reports that Matt Dogali of the NRA at a meeting at Idaho State University last week said people should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon without a permit and to bring that weapon onto campuses.
Earlier this year lawmakers decided to leave it to university leaders to decide how to regulate firearms.
The House passed a measure that would have prohibited schools from banning firearms anywhere on campus except in undergraduate residence halls, but state senators killed the bill, arguing "there are times and places where guns are not appropriate on campus." [AP, 9/25/11]
Fining Local Florida Officials For Not Taking Gun Laws Off The Books. From the September 28 edition of Florida Today:
Kate Latorre's law firm, which represents a dozen Central Florida cities and towns, has been scrambling in recent weeks. She and other lawyers at the firm have been working with city officials to hunt down and wipe out references to guns in municipal codes.
Such changes are popping up this month on government meeting agendas throughout the county and state. That's because, starting Saturday, county, city and town officials will be personally liable for knowingly having gun-control rules in their ordinances, under a bill approved by the Florida Legislature.
The law places new penalties in Florida law that says the state - and not counties, cities and towns - is solely responsible for regulating guns. That includes, for example, fines of up to $5,000 for each appointed or elected local government official who violates the law.
For the public, that means a city no longer can restrict someone with a concealed weapons permit from taking a handgun into a park or public building, except in specific cases. Restrictions, however, still apply at courthouses and schools.
The National Rifle Association said fining public officials was necessary because local governments had "thumbed their noses" at earlier laws aimed at limiting gun-control ordinances.
Eliminating local gun-control rules was "intended to stop local governments from making criminals out of law-abiding citizens, just because they simply crossed a city limit or county line," the NRA said. "It was intended to provide uniform gun laws, so that no matter where in the state you live and no matter where in the state you travel, the same gun laws apply." [Florida Today, 9/28/11]
Trying To Stop Doctors From Asking Patients About Guns In Their Homes. From a September 14 Tribune Media article:
In a first-of-its-kind battle over gun rights, a federal judge in Miami has temporarily blocked Florida from enforcing a controversial new law designed to prevent doctors from asking patients whether they have firearms in their homes.
The temporary injunction issued Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke says the law runs afoul of the Constitution's right to free speech.
"The law directly targets protected expression by restricting it," she wrote.
"A practitioner who counsels a patient on firearm safety, even when entirely irrelevant to medical care or safety, does not affect or interfere with the patient's right to continue to own, possess or use firearms," she added.
The law, nicknamed "Docs vs. Glocks," was signed by Gov. Rick Scott in June and was strongly backed by the National Rifle Association. It would require that doctors, emergency medical personnel and other health care providers refrain from asking about gun ownership unless they "in good faith (believe) that this information is relevant to the patient's medical care or safety, or the safety of others." [Tribune Media, 9/14/11]
- Expert: Bill Causes Doctors To Chose Between Following Law And Their "Moral Obligation." Matt Miller, physician and associate director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, said of the bill:
Talking to patients about safety issues is the professional and moral obligation of doctors, especially pediatricians, whose patients need to be protected from the two leading causes of death among is most likely to kill and injure them: motor vehicles and guns. After all, children and adolescents are more likely to die from preventable firearm injuries (including suicide, unintentional firearm injuries, and homicide) than from anything other than motor vehicle injuries.
It is immoral and completely political for the NRA to intimidate physicians from fulfilling their Hippocratic obligation to protect their patients. Just as doctors must talk to their patients (and to the parents of their patients when their patient is a minor) about seat belts use, they must also talk to their patients about the risks of a gun in the home, especially when kept unlocked and loaded. The legislature must also be called to task for abetting this unhealthy interference with the doctor-patient relationship --at the cost of many lives, especially among those who don't have a voice themselves, our nations children.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by crankshaft, Sep 6, 2011.
Sounds like a weak battery to me
Thanks. I'll check that out.
Any other ideas are welcome.
On another subject- is it possible to take out the spark plug without removing the airbox?
I'm thinking about buying this little gizmo, but I'm not sure if it'll be less work than to pump a tire full of air by hand.
Hi guys
So i have this weird problem on the 690, i have a giant loop bag for the adventure ride...what that does is push me further in the seat...so when i am sitting on the bike with my legs on the footpegs, the feet is at an angle to the brake pedal....
and so when i try to apply the rear brake, i have to either lift my feet and readjust to brake or if in the same position i just end up locking the rear brakes....
is there a way to move the rear pedal further out maybe by few inches....i am also trying to get a tail rack so that i can try to move the giant loop further out...
Look into your owner's manual... the rear brake pedal position can be adjusted up and down.
That process is WAY more complicated than using a good hand pump or a set of CO2 cartridges....
Stuck compression releave/decompression valve?
Coming from a 800gs the suspension on my 690 is awesome!
The harder I ride the better it works :)
I'm a noob tho and pretty small (75ish kg)
My Enduro R for it's first run in Hardanger. It is an ex-demo that has only 600 km, so still running it in. Fitting a Seat Consepts seat tonight.
Nice - Does KTM still sell those mirrors? Are the clear?
More complicated? Probably. The question is what's gonna take more time out in the field.
Hand pump takes for ever to get to enough PSI and every time that I used CO2 cartridges, I messed it up somehow.
But if taking out the spark plug requires more than just removing the side panel and the plug itself, than it's too much of a hassle.
How will that cause the electricty to go off and on again?
Then taking out the plug may not be for you
Get this "gizmo" instead. It works great.
Yup, I have the exact same pump, it works great!
Same here.
Never let me down but what a freakin racket the thing makes. :eek1
I'd pass on that.
I carry an electric pump, think it came from Aerostich or some such. Some guys like one made by slime. Has served me well so far. Might go with manual pump if rtw or really concerned about the weight (guessing 1 pound.) Nice time saver as instead of minutes pumping, rolling up tools and getting trail ready while filling up (which happens pretty damn quick.)
ok - should have read the full day's posts.....
It sounds like you were posting your pics/albums to Apple's MobilMe site. I was, and Apple killed MobilMe several months ago. I then went to Flickr and paid $24 I believe for a premium posting account. Works great. Then I decided to nuke some of my albums on my iMac and re-post them on Flickr with higher resolution. As a result, my older Flickr pictures disappeared. Don't you just love technology!

BROOKFIELD, Ill.- Brevard College's Jordan Ollis, Michael Gruber and Jacob McCleery were named to the 2013 Don Hansen All-Super Region II football team, the Don Hansen Football Committee announced Monday.
Junior fullback Jordan Ollis garnered Second Team honors after rushing for 786 yards on 183 carries. The Columbus, N.C. native finished third in the South Alantic Conference in rushing touchdowns (11). The junior also caught a pair of touchdown passes.
Gruber was named a Second-Team linebacker after setting a Brevard College single-season record with 124 total tackles in 2013. The junior recorded a season-high 16 tackles at Carson-Newman on September 28th, and grabbed two interceptions on the year.
McCleery was named to the Third Team as a defensive back after finishing third in the SAC in interceptions (four) and second for interception return yards (112). The sophomore intercepted passes in three consecutive conference games, including a 74-yard interception returned for a touchdown in the win over Mars Hill on October 12th.
The Don Hansen Division II All-America Team carries out the legacy of long-time small college football advocate Don Hansen, who passed away at age 75 on Aug. 29, 2010. Hansen, from Brookfield, Ill., started and published Don Hansen's National Weekly Football Gazette for three decades, selecting NCAA Division II All-America teams for the first time in 1988.
The Don Hansen Football Committee selected All-Super Region teams in December and early January, with the first-team and second-team All-Super Region players advancing to the national ballot.

Arcadia, CA, Aug. 7 -- HRTV (R), The Network for Horse Sports, will present an all-inclusive recap of the inaugural Totally Thoroughbreds Horse Show when its award-winning documentary show, Inside Information: Horse Show at Old Hilltop, premieres on Sunday, August 12 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
The Totally Thoroughbred Horse Show took place at Pimlico Racecourse in mid-July, and was the first of its kind held at a racetrack. The brainchild of Georganne Hale, Maryland Jockey Club Racing Secretary, and Stacie Clark-Rogers, Adena Springs Retirement Program Manager, the Show drew over 800 entries and more than 300 horses from the surrounding states.
The quantity, and quality, of entries and the overall response of the horse community easily exceeded original expectations.
Many of the horses who competed were former racehorses, including several that had raced at Pimlico. The show highlighted the retraining of ex-racehorses for life after the track. There were eight different classes contested during the day, with six ribbons awarded for each class, and nearly $10,000 awarded in prize money.
The money made through entries is earmarked for horse rescue charities that have helped the Maryland Jockey Club find homes for horses that raced in Maryland, including: Kim Clark's Thoroughbred Placement Resources, Mid-Atlantic and Angel Acres.
HRTV had presented a live streaming webcast of the event via www.tvg2.com <http://www.tvg2.com/> , with the network's Carolyn Conley on-site to anchor the network's online coverage.
HRTV's Inside Information: Radosevich show, which originally aired on the network in August, 2011, recently earned an Ohio Valley Regional Emmy Award in the "Sports -- One Time Special" designation. It was the network's second consecutive win in that category and its third in the past four years. The Radosevich special was one of five Inside Information shows nominated in that category this year.

Let's try to drill into the global picture for earnings, following on from Monday's column. The picture is undeniably unexciting, but we need to take two divisions into account. First, financials have followed a different logic from the rest of the corporate sector over the last five years or so, for obvious reasons. Second, US companies have profited far more than companies elsewhere in the world, for reasons that are far less clear.
Let's start by looking at the global picture, with and without the financials. Earnings per share for the MSCI indices (with thanks to Andrew Lapthorne of SocGen for providing this data) look like this: Read more

10 Luscious Lip Glosses to Wear Now
Say goodbye to chapped lips and hello to steamy kisses!

While this shade is a bit dark for fair skinned gals, it will be perfect for skin tones from beige to dark brown. How can something so small be so versatile? Well, you can make the color darker or lighter depending on how much you blot, and the golden shine never leaves (when they said shimmer, they meant it!).
5. Bite Lip Shine in plum ($20, sephora.com).Formulated without harmful chemicals, this gloss will nurture your lips sans the harmful byproducts. After all, who wants to constantly slather damaging ingredients onto their precious puckers?

When Anna Walton and her undergraduate peers at Carolina make it to medical school or graduate school, they'll have scientific experience under their belts that not many other students can claim.
Faculty-mentored research? Yes, they've done that, and so have lots of students at other universities. But not many undergraduates will have learned the rigors of writing, reviewing, and publishing the findings of scientific research.
Walton is editor-in-chief of IMPULSE, an online journal for undergraduates that publishes articles exclusively on neuroscience topics. IMPULSE began at Carolina and now includes hubs at Appalachian State University and Middlebury College. Undergraduates from across the United States and around the world submit articles to the journal. Undergraduates also serve as reviewers, scrutinizing each submission for accuracy, clarity, and purpose just like big-name scientific publications.
"As reviewers, we're exposed to many different topics in neuroscience research, and it helps develop your critical thinking skills as you read through these papers," said Walton, a rising senior majoring in biology and Spanish who aspires to become a primary care physician working with underserved populations.
"You're asking things like, 'Is this a logical hypothesis? Is this good science?' We really push each other to ask hard questions and, in some cases, either reject an article or ask for more information."
Which is exactly what happens in the real world of scientific publishing, said Sarah Sweitzer, a neuroscience faculty member at the University's School of Medicine and faculty advisor to IMPULSE undergraduates at Carolina.
"They had a paper recently that stated a hypothesis but the experiment didn't test what the hypothesis asked," Sweitzer said.
Sweitzer sees her mentoring role as helping the students "to think scientifically and critically about a paper. I also help them find places in faculty labs so they can engage in neuroscience-related research, too."
IMPULSE has published an online edition every year since 2004. Current and past editions can be found at impulse.appstate.edu.

ICYMI: Jay Z and Beyonce heat up the Grammys
[Click here for more Grammy Coverage]
The best thing the Grammys gave us was giving Beyonce and Jay Z the opening slot during Sunday night's telecast.
(For a performance of that caliber, we usually have to wait until the wee minutes!)
[PHOTOS: Best and Worst Dressed on the Red Carpet]
The married superstar couple did NOT disappoint when they delivered a spot-on, sexy performance of Beyonce's new track "Drunk In Love" from her super secret, self-titled album.
Beyonce gyrated and flung a cropped wavy wet hair style around on stage as she performed the sexy song — Jay Z arrived to deliver his verse on the track, and though the audio cut out a couple of times — and the censor bleeped out sentences that weren't actually naughty — the two still clearly had the performance of the night.

Check it out and let us know how Beyonce did on her first public performance since dropping her latest album!

Tornados take on SAC leader Carson-NewmanOctober 21, 2009
Brevard, N.C. - Coming off their first home loss of the season, the Tornados (6-2, 2-2 SAC) take to the road this weekend as they travel to Jefferson City, Tenn. to take on the AFCA #20-ranked Carson-Newman Eagles (6-2, 4-0 SAC) in a game between two of the South Atlantic Conference's leading rushing attacks.
The Tornados are fifth in the nation and third in the SAC with 272.4 rushing yards per game, averaging 28.3 points per game mainly through the utilization of their rushing attack. Neville Bryce returned to action against Mars Hill, toting the ball nine times for 30 yards. Bryce has accumulated 523 rushing yards this year, averaging 74.7 yards per game as the Tornados primary ball carrier and is tied for fifth in the SAC in yards per game.
Fellow fullback Derek Church has provided a deft scoring touch this season, with five touchdowns on the season, including two against the Lions last week and is the Tornados primary short-yardage ball-carrier, while slot Shaton Pratt averages 5.2 yards per carry on the ground as the Tornados change-of-pace back.
Carson-Newman remains the only undefeated team in South Atlantic Conference play this season as they improved their record to 4-0 last weekend in a 17-13 win over Lenoir-Rhyne. The Bears held the Eagles to 112 yards rushing, 158 yards short of their average, but Preseason All-SAC quarterback Alex Good connected with fellow All-SAC running back Buck Wakefield and wide receiver for a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter to complete the comeback.
The Eagles had a four-game stretch earlier in the season where they rushed for over 300 yards per game and will put the SAC-leading Brevard College run defense, led by All-SAC linebackers Stanley Jones and Brandon Rawls, to the test. Brevard comes in allowing only 93.5 yards per game on the ground and will look to contain Good, who currently sits 25 yards shy of the Eagles' career record for total offense, having gained 772 yards on the ground this season for seven scores, while throwing for 1089 yards and 12 scores through the air.
Good has thrown five interceptions on the season and the Tornados defense, riding a 10-game streak where they have both intercepted and sacked the opposing quarterback will look to keep those streaks alive against a team in which they were unable to do either last season.
Last year's Homecoming game featured Carson-Newman and Brevard at Brevard Memorial Stadium and saw the Eagles outscore the Tornados 20-0 in the second half on their way to the 34-3 win. The Eagles took the opening drive 80 yards in 13 plays, taking 6:59 off the clock as Dewayne Mims ran it in for a score from a yard out. Chase Henry answered with a 35-yard field goal on BC's first drive, but Wakefield had a 10-yard touchdown to give the Eagles the 14-3 lead.
John Taylor's 44-yard run put Brevard on the Eagle 2-yard line but BC was unable to score and turned the ball over on downs just before halftime. Good and Nate Inman made it over the goal line in the second half for the Eagles to conclude the scoring.
The Tornados were able to rack up 166 of their 192 total yards on the ground as Taylor finished with 93 yards on 11 carries.
This season, the Eagles still struggle in defending the run, allowing 132.8 yards per game on the ground and 363.9 yards per game, allowing an average of 21.5 points per game for the opposing team.
Both defenses feature All-SAC caliber players as Brevard is headlined by the play of linebackers Jones, Rawls and sophomore safety Michael Gist. Jones leads the South Atlantic Conference in tackles with 84 on the season, averaging 10.5 per game, which is good for 18th in NCAA Division II, while Rawls has been a force behind the line of scrimmage, picking up 7.0 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks on the season. Gist has picked up where he left off last season, picking off five passes this season and returning three for touchdowns.
Carson-Newman has a trio of their own who were selected as Preseason First Team All-SAC members in defensive lineman Brandon Harmon, linebacker Brian Brown, and safety Mario Russell. Russell leads Carson-Newman with 69 tackles. He has broken up twelve passes and forced six fumbles, including a school record tying four in a 23-20 win against Newberry. Brown has 58 tackles, six tackles for loss, and two sacks. Harmon has 16 stops, including four behind the line of scrimmage.
The Eagles are 2-0 against the Tornados all-time, including a 52-13 win in 2007.
Kickoff time for Saturday's game is set for 1 p.m. at Burke-Tarr Stadium in Jefferson City, Tenn.. As always, if you are unable to make the game in person, you can catch the game via live broadcast brought to you by the "Voice of the Tornados" Jim Stewart over the radio at WSQL 1240 AM or over the Internet at www.wsqlradio.com.

Compliant press paints Warren's avoidance of press as charming
posted at 11:08 am on November 16, 2012 by Mary Katharine Ham
Her first press conference didn't go so well in her home state, so why up the ante by taking questions once she gets to Washington?
As Elizabeth Warren walked through the marble corridors of the Capitol on Tuesday, she tried assiduously to keep a low profile. Walking arm in arm with Senator-elect Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Warren passed paintings of historic politicians, busts of former vice presidents, and the doors to the Senate floor they will enter once sworn in.
A small gaggle of reporters awaited one of the rising stars in Washington, and Warren knew it. She leaned into Baldwin and was overheard saying, "Pretend you're talking to me."
She answered no questions, and strolled into a luncheon as reporters from the biggest news organizations in the country scolded themselves for not getting more information.
It was a completely different feel from the day 2½ years ago when the last new Massachusetts senator entered the building. Legions of reporters awaited Scott Brown, who seemed happy to accept the mantle of stardom that Washington was offering. He shook hands with nearly everyone who extended one. Reporters and camera crews fought for space and congressional aides applauded and snapped photos as he walked the hallways.
Brown says another run for political office is premature
Warren seems eager to avoid any type of similar atmosphere. She does not seem interested in taking any advice from Brown (they have not had a meeting yet, and none is scheduled), and it was Brown on Tuesday who held the press conference in the Capitol, not Warren.
Neveryoumind that her behavior looks an awful lot like a newly elected public official unwilling to expose herself to any questions for the sake of the public. This is actually evidence of an admirable "low-key" humility, unlike that dastardly Scott Brown. Much like Obama, when Warren's really bad at stuff, it will only be because she's such an awesome person. Gonna be a fun six years.


text: The new Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott reality show premieres tonight and the couple have been doing their best to make sure everyone watches it. I'm not going to. I have had enough of the couple and I think it is really doing a disservice to their four kids to be filming this show. Yes, I know they need money. Desperately if you believe them. I think they make plenty of money but want to keep living the way they have so instead of cutting back they decided to go ahead and make a buck off their marriage problems. Some of their kids are school age. Those kids are now going to have to go to school and listen to the other kids talk about Tori and Dean and how much sex Dean was getting and that Tori is not very good at it and that she couldn't give him enough sex and Dean turned to booze and other women to make him happy. Even if other kids don't talk to them about it, eventually they will see the show. Is that something you want them to see? I know they want to turn this short series into another full-time reality show gig, but there must have been some other hook that could have landed them a show. To me it seems like they are only thinking of themselves and not thinking about anyone else. They want to stay famous and relevant and if it hurts their kids, then that is a small price.

In just a month we will welcome December and then we will bid farewell to 2012 and usher in 2013! It has certainly been an exciting journey for the iProperty Group. We had record breaking months, hit new targets, launched highly successful innovative products and garnered tremendous success across markets we operate in.
In an effort to ensure that we continue to gain momentum and attain the success we desire in 2013, we are reevaluating what we do to identify areas in which we can improve. We have been putting in the hours and looking at ways on how we can deliver the best experiences for our consumers and customers.
To achieve this, we are asking ourselves – How do we work together as a team? How can we make our consumers and customers experience unforgettable? How can we further increase the leads for our customers? How can we improvise our products and services? What next highly innovative products can we launch?
I find that planning for the year is similar to organizing a race. There is the management of resources, identifying the ideal roadmap, setting the right direction and pace. No matter the terrain or obstacle we face, the need to remain committed towards achieving the goal is of utmost priority. In order for us to achieve that, we need to move out from our comfort zone and find inspiration to reach greater goals. We are aiming to do things smarter and right the first time.
We want 2013 to be better than 2012, a success than can be triumphantly enjoyed by every employee, consumer, customer and partner. We are shifting gears and ready to embrace 2013 head on. It's going to be an enormous year for the iProperty Group!
Are you ready?
Have a great week!

More than 1,000 dead fish were collected from the North River in central P.E.I. on Sunday after someone saw the fish and contacted environmental officials on Saturday.
There were four species recovered along 3.5 kilometres of the river, including rainbow trout, brook trout, Atlantic salmon and stickleback. This is the first fish kill on the Island this year.
Water samples were taken revealing oxygen levels and quality were good and the fish appeared healthy and fed, said Rosie MacFarlane, a provincial fisheries biologist.
"You don't see it in a healthy stream at any given time, you don't see that number of dead fish."
MacFarlane said it has been at least three days since the fish died and many were starting to rot during the cleanup Sunday.
"It was a sudden event. They all died at the same time."
The cleanup will continue through Monday and the Cornwall watershed group has offered to help finish the cleanup, she said.
"It's unfortunate that we have had another fish kill, particularly in the form of Atlantic salmon. There are so few rivers left with salmon populations."
MacFarlane said this kill will set salmon populations back in North River.
An investigation is underway with Environment Canada and conservation officers from the province to determine what killed the fish.

February 2nd 2008
Sorry for the long break but I've been traveling and digging up records pretty much non-stop since mid-December.
I'm back in Guinea now, the first month of the new year has already passed and my time down here in West Africa is slowly coming to an end as I have made plans to move back to NYC in July.
I've lived there before from 1996 to 2000 and those were some of the best years of my life. Ever since I left, I've been back for a week or so each summer to visit friends and play some records. Needless to say that the city has changed a lot those past 8 years... same goes for myself and I'm curious how we'll get along on this second run.
Back to what happened those past 6 weeks:
In December I managed to hitch a ride on the UN plane to N'Zerekore, the main city in Guinea's forest region. N'Zerekore is also a border town, very close to Liberia and Ivory Coast this used to be a major trading post for all goods rolling through Guinea with Mali and Senegal on one side and Abidjan on the other. "There have got to be some records around" I thought and I did not get disappointed.
N'Zerekore nowadays serves as a base for several multinational mining corporations that are exploiting the region's rich reserves of copper and iron ore as well as uranium. Close by is the Mt. Nimba, a famous mountain, home to a unique range of plants and animals, amongst others, a toad that doesn't lay eggs but gives birth to its offspring and only can be found there. The area is protected by the UNESCO which for decades hindered the exploitation of its vast resources but recently, the rules seem to have changed and it is only a matter of time until a big portion of the mountain will be gone forever.
N'Zerekore is very dusty. Most roads are unpaved and the mining company's big SUVs constantly speeding across town leave the air saturated with thick red dust that settles on clothes, between teeth and inside the respiration tracts of the residents. A cynic might say that this is the only way the busy mining activity feeds any of the locals.
I zigzagged around town with a moped taxi which also left me caked with red dust at the end of every day. Unfortunately, the dust was so thick that I never felt like taking out my camera, that's why I can't show you any photos here. There were some very picturesque settings on the city's many back roads though. Once, after having sped through narrow paths lined by small creeks of raw sewage, I arrived at a beautiful house with a terrace overlooking a small lake with blooming water-lilies under a huge Baobab tree. Why didn't I take a picture? Because there was a big pile of records on that terrace waiting for me... I know, but I just can't help it.
Besides an unexpected lot of Cuban records that contained a surprisingly large number of Funk tracks, I found various Syliphone releases that were still missing in my collection -most notably some nice picture-sleeve 45s and a mixed bag of music from surrounding African countries.
A mix with some of this stuff will soon be posted. In fact, I've set aside records for no less than 4 mixes but there's no saying on how many if any I will get up and running before I leave for Accra in 2 weeks.
Coming up in my next post: Gin fueled, chicken sacrificing Voodoo escapades in southern Benin (yes, there will be plenty of pictures...)
Here are some of the records I found on in N'Zerekore:

When The Waterboys recorded "The Big Music" in 1984, the group staked a claim to what seemed like an enduring musical trend, since the likes of U2, Big Country, Simple Minds, and The Alarm were all denting the charts with epic, echoing rock. But European pop fans are fickle, and the bluster of Big Music gave way to the subtle shadings of Cocteau Twins and the nasty grind of The Jesus And Mary Chain–two sounds that quickly merged to make dream-pop. It was almost a decade later when Radiohead brought Big Music in through the back door by passing a U2 influence to bands like Coldplay, who've in turn extended atmospheric pop balladry into ubiquity.
The British group Delays is the latest purveyor of the old resounding haze, though it stands out from the pack thanks to lead vocalist Greg Gilbert, whose voice sounds astonishingly feminine, and specifically like Stevie Nicks crossed with Elizabeth Fraser. On the band's debut, Faded Seaside Glamour, Gilbert coos high and raspy through spell-casters like "Bedroom Scene" and "One Night Away," which stack ringing guitars against thick beats, building to harmonic choruses that court pathos directly. Delays has a repertoire roomy enough to encompass the La's-like jangle of "Hey Girl," but its heart is more in pretty, droning tracks like "Wanderlust" and "Nearer Than Heaven," which are naggingly shapeless but carried by Gilbert's magnificent instrument.
On the domestic front, the indie-rock supergroup Maritime fills its debut album, Glass Floor, with lightly melodic, midtempo songs made grander through the addition of horns and strings. Davey von Bohlen and Dan Didier, from disbanded emo-king The Promise Ring, front a pickup band that includes former Dismemberment Plan bassist Eric Axelson and Jawbox founder J. Robbins. Superficially, the album resembles the overly Anglophilic but unjustly maligned Promise Ring record Wood/Water, which was catchy and chiming. But Glass Floor features simpler constructions and more straightforward guitar-pop on "Some One Has To Die," "Adios," and "If All My Days Go By." Von Bohlen's thin vocals and a generally mushy sound keeps Glass Floor from catching hold at first, but Maritime's gently buzzing guitars give the songs a backbone that helps them stand up to multiple exposures.
As to when this streak of foggy, booming guitar-and-piano-centered music will tail off, if history is any guide, the sound should follow a natural evolution and transform into something rougher and more exciting soon. Expect that Swervedriver revival any day now.

Complaint Process Flow Chart
Complaint Process. The Club recognizes how difficult it may be for an athlete or parent to report a coach or staff/volunteer offense because of fear of retaliation against the athlete or his/her family or subjecting a young athlete to an adversarial or hostile examination process. Similarly, coaches and staff must be assured of notice of allegations, a fair hearing and protection from frivolous complaints. Thus, the following mechanisms have been put in place to establish an appropriate fact-finding and hearing process to be utilized for any complaint.

Best Of :: People & Places
The city set aside some park land at the northeast corner of the lake. Muenster Milling Co. (pet food) kicked in $25,000 to start a private fund-raising effort. And Texas Rangers broadcaster Eric Nadel did the cheerleading. But the basic act here is the dogs. They run, they play, they slurp, they jump. Amazing! This new dog park, the city's first, is the place to go to see how dogs would behave if all the human beings suddenly left the planet.
No ferns, no frills, no food (unless you count chips and peanuts) and no TV sports at this 50-year-old establishment, which is what a real, honest-to-goodness beer joint is supposed to be. Open from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 2 a.m. Sunday, Ship's offers $2 domestic beer and can serve from a couple of dozen brands. The stools along the bar are filled with patrons ranging in age from 21 to 71. There's a pool table and one of the best jukeboxes in Dallas, offering everything from Don Williams to Ray Charles. If they ever decide to open a Beer Joint Hall of Fame, this one's got to be in it.
You'd think, judging by the fact that pretty much every car south of Mockingbird Lane sports at least one sticker on its bumper/windshield advertising the driver's Tejano radio station of choice, this city runs on the upbeat of a conjunto soundtrack. You're probably right. The Arbitron ratings might not reflect that yet--maybe they would if Arbitron actually reported in all the areas that matter, not just North Dallas--but it's true nonetheless. Perhaps the best place to see and hear for yourself is Tejano West, the McDLT among local Tejano venues, where the cerveza is cold and the dance floor is hot. Feel free to explore others, but we guarantee your boots will scoot back to Tejano West.
Lizard Lounge is the closest thing Dallas has to Studio 54, and depending on how uptight you are, that's either a good or bad thing. OK, so it's not that close to Studio 54, but it does have everything you want in a dance club: good music (provided by, among others, Edgeclub host DJ Merritt), good-looking men and women (clad in materials usually reserved for the interiors of cars) and the good chance that you'll see at least one person with a lot less clothing than he or she walked in with. The last part isn't exactly crucial for a dance club to be entertaining, but it sure doesn't hurt. Madonna tried to buy it at one point; how much more of an endorsement do you need?
Call us naïve, but we were shocked to learn the predominantly female audience at Melissa Etheridge's recent Fort Worth concert booed when she pulled a fan onstage to share a tequila shot...because she chose a man. Being of the male persuasion ourselves, we've always felt welcome at most of the area's lesbian clubs. We've heard tales that gay places like the gargantuan Village Station and Moby Dick aren't nearly as hospitable to women. Hell, there have been nights when the Station wasn't nearly as welcoming to us as, say, its next-door neighbor, Sue Ellen's. Over the years, Sue's has admirably maintained its balancing act of charming opposites--friendly but sorta elegant, universal but very specific in its identity, streamlined but able to hold a spill-over crowd. You can walk in dressed up or dressed down and feel right at home. And the small dance floor prevails as a place for socializing, not exhibiting your gym bod or your rhythmic skills. Maybe it's just the Cowtown gals who get pissy when a guy occasionally steps into the spotlight.
Some nights end badly. Some nights end with a public humiliation by the jackboot of the state in front of the teeming crowd of your peers, the assorted boozers and ecstasy-addled clubbers of Lower Greenville. After midnight you can witness the local cheese rousting belligerents on this corner, usually stuffing them into the white paddy wagon. The best part's the public frisk--always look for signs of amusement or disgust on the cop's face.

Lung transplantSolid organ transplant - lung
Lung transplant is surgery to replace one or both diseased lungs with healthy lungs from a human donor.
The new lung or lungs are usually donated by someone under age 65 who is brain-dead but is still on life-support. The donor tissue must be matched as closely as possible to your tissue type to reduce the odds that your body will reject the transplanted lung.
Lungs can also be given by living donors. Two or more people are needed. Each person donates a segment (lobe) of their lung to form an entire lung for the person who is receiving it.
During lung transplant surgery, you are asleep and pain-free (under general anesthesia). A surgical cut is made in the chest. Lung transplant surgery is done with the use of a heart-lung machine, which does the work of your heart while your heart is stopped for the surgery.
- For single lung transplants, the cut is made on the side of your chest where the lung will be transplanted. The operation takes 4 - 8 hours. In most cases, the lung with the worst function is removed.
- For double lung transplants, the cut is made below the breast and reaches to both sides of the chest. Surgery takes 6 - 12 hours. Tubes are used to send blood to a heart-lung bypass machine to provide oxygen and move blood through the body during the surgery.
After the cut is made, the major steps during lung transplant surgery include:
- One or both of your lungs are removed. For patients who are having a double lung transplant, most or all of the steps from the first transplant are completed before the second transplant is done.
- The main blood vessels and airway of the new lung are sewn to your blood vessels and airway. The donor lobe or lung is stitched (sutured) into place. Chest tubes are inserted to drain air, fluid, and blood out of the chest for several days to allow the lungs to fully re-expand.
Sometimes heart and lung transplants are done at the same time (heart-lung transplant) if the heart is also diseased.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
A lung transplant is usually the last-resort treatment for lung failure. Lung transplants may be recommended for patients under age 65 who have severe lung disease. Some examples of diseases that may require a lung transplant are:
- Cystic fibrosis
- Damage to the arteries of the lung because of a defect in the heart at birth (congenital defect)
- Destruction of the large airways and lung (bronchiectasis)
- Emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Lung conditions in which the lung tissues become swollen and scarred (interstitial lung disease)
- High blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs (pulmonary hypertension)
- Sarcoidosis
Lung transplant may NOT be done for patients who:
- Are too sick or badly nourished to go through the procedure
- Continue to smoke or abuse alcohol or other drugs
- Have active hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV
- Have had cancer within the past 2 years
- Have lung disease that will likely affect the new lung
- Have severe disease of other organs
The doctor may recommend against a heart transplant if there is concern that you will not be able to keep up with the many hospital and doctor's visits, tests, and medications needed to keep the new heart healthy.
Risks from any anesthesia are:
- Breathing problems
- Reactions to the medications
Risks from any surgery are:
- Bleeding
- Infection
Other risks of transplant include:
- Blood clots (deep venous thrombosis)
- Diabetes, bone thinning, or high cholesterol levels from the medications given after a transplant
- Increased risk for infections due to anti-rejection (immunosuppression) medications
- Damage to your kidneys, liver, or other organs from anti-rejection medications
- Future risk of certain cancers
Risks of lung transplant include:
- Problems at the place where the new blood vessels and airways were attached
- Rejection of the new lung, which may happen right away, within the first 4 to 6 weeks, or over time
Before the Procedure
Before the procedure, your doctor will determine whether you are a good candidate by doing the following tests:
- Blood tests or skin tests to check for infections
- Blood typing
- Tests to evaluate your heart, such as EKG, echocardiogram, or cardiac catheterization
- Tests to evaluate your lungs
- Tests to look for early cancer (Pap smear, mammogram, colonoscopy)
- Tissue typing, to help make sure your body will not reject the donated lung
If your transplant team believes that you are a good candidate for lung transplantation, you will be put on a national waiting list. Your place on the waiting list is based on a number of factors, including:
- What type of lung problems you have
- The severity of your lung disease
- The likelihood that a transplant will be successful
The amount of time you spend on a waiting list usually does not determine how soon you get a lung, except possibly with children. Waiting time is often at least 2 - 3 years.
While you are waiting for a new lung, follow these guidelines:
- Follow any diet your lung transplant team recommends. Stop drinking alcohol, do not smoke, and keep your weight in the recommended range.
- Take all medicines as they were prescribed. Report changes in your medications and medical problems that are new or get worse to the transplant team.
- Follow any exercise program that you were taught during pulmonary rehabilitation.
- Keep any appointments that you have made with your regular doctor and transplant team.
- Let the transplant team know how to contact you right away if a lung becomes available. Make sure that, no matter where you go, you can be contacted quickly and easily.
- Be prepared in advance to go to the hospital.
Before the procedure, always tell your doctor or nurse:
- What drugs, vitamins, herbs, and other supplements you are taking, even ones you bought without a prescription.
- If you have been drinking a lot of alcohol (more than one or two drinks a day)
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before your surgery. Take only the drugs that your doctor told you to take with a small sip of water.
After the Procedure
You should expect to stay in the hospital for 7 - 21 days after a lung transplant. You will likely spend time in the intensive care unit (ICU) right after surgery. Most centers that perform lung transplants have standard ways of treating and managing lung transplant patients.
During your hospital stay, you will:
- Be asked to sit on the side of the bed and then walk on the same day you have surgery
- Be asked to cough
- Have a tube coming out of the side of your chest to drain fluids
- Wear special stockings on your feet and legs to prevent blood clots
- Get shots to prevent blood clots
- Receive pain medicine through a tube that goes into your vein (IV) or by mouth with pills. You may have a special machine that gives you a dose of pain medicine when you push a button. This allows you to control how much pain medicine you receive.
- Be asked to do a lot of deep breathing to help prevent pneumonia and infection, and to inflate the lung that was transplanted. Your chest tube will stay in place until your lung has fully inflated.
- Receive many different medicines
- Have many chest x-rays
- Have bronchoscopy -- a flexible camera used to look at your airways and make sure that the new lung is healing
The recovery period is about 6 months. Often, your transplant team will ask you to stay close to the hospital for the first 3 months. You will need to have regular check-ups with blood tests and x-rays for many years.
Outlook (Prognosis)
A lung transplant is a major procedure that is performed for patients with life-threatening lung disease or damage.
Around four out of five people are still alive 1 year after the transplant. Around two out of five transplant recipients are alive at 5 years. Outcomes are similar for single and double lung transplants. The highest risk of death is during the first year, mainly from problems such as rejection.
Fighting rejection is an ongoing process. The body's immune system considers the transplanted organ as an invader (much like an infection) and may attack it.
To prevent rejection, organ transplant patients must take anti-rejection (immunosuppression) drugs (such as cyclosporine and corticosteroids). These drugs suppress the body's immune response and reduce the chance of rejection. As a result, however, these drugs also reduce the body's natural ability to fight off infections.
By 5 years after a lung transplant, at least one in five people develop cancers or have problems with the heart. These two conditions cause most deaths at 5 years.
For most people, the quality of life is improved after a lung transplant. They have better exercise endurance and are able to do more on a daily basis.

TJR and Pres, I may have to inquire about lab fees with my administrators. But, as I may have mentioned, the state has been putting a kibosh to most of that. They say that, if it part of the expected course work, you can't make them pay for it.
TJR, you had four hundred stolen? That's terrible. It's too bad you can't trust the students anymore. But that's one reason I don't let the kids near my desk without permission. That way, if something happens, the list of suspects is short.
Like, Pres., Ive been doing it for a long time. The sad thing about losing that money was the cheques, which the thief could not cash and I could not get back. I knew which class it was, and I even think I knew the student as he ducked out early. Lesson learned. I worked at an inner city high school for 12 years-the toughest school in the division. The city seemed to subsidize that area because of the economic situation. So, not every school charges fees, but many programs such as band, art, phys-ed all rely on these monies. The cost for football team equipment is very high.
I could go on and on, but I won't. In an ideal world, there would be no extra fees. And all the birds would lay soft-boiled eggs.

This was in the Canton Rep today. Funny.
LINK"I goofed up big-time," Keels said at Four Winds restaurant, recalling one broadcast. He had invited two women he was dating to the same game. It was too late to do anything but arrange for them to be seated on opposite sides of the arena. The clock hit triple zeroes. Both women appeared near where Keels was running the post-game show.
"During a break, I explained my dilemma to Bob," Keels said. "Bob told me, 'We're gonna stay on the air until one of 'em leaves, or both do.' And we did."

Thanks for the links that you posted this morning Percy. They seemed to work okay earlier but following them now and it looks like you have to log in to read them. Grrrrrr!
My apologies Percy. It seems now that to access and read the abstracts through the links you have to search for them using abstract name, author, number etc.
Hope it's not so cold over your way today Percy, it is baltic here once again! Grrrrrr!
Stay warm!
How cold is it there Gavin? I think I can beat it with our temperatures (and by beat it I mean it's friggin' cold here!!)
Randi, come see me and warm up. We had a lovely dark, gray, rainy day. Well it gets boring having sunshne every day.
You probably could be our temps here Randi. Today it is down to about -5c and it was snowing last night and today. Don't want to think what it will get down to tonight! It is Mothers Day here today, which I guess it being snowing and all that is handy if someone is planning on taking their mum sledging for the day! Scraping the car this morning was cold enough for me so I'll give the sledging a miss I think!!
Gavin, Happy Mother's Day to Mum who lets me share her son! Just a shout out for anyone wanting to warm up....by Wed. it will be in the low 90's here for a few days!
Oh geez Lainy, rub it in!! Actually though we have a heat wave going today. it is 40 degrees farenheit (you will have to do the conversion Gavin!!). The sun is shining and I went for a run this morning with a friend and was actually warm! Snow has mostly melted and I can almost see Spring around the corner. Well, now that I said that we will most likely get a snow storm and below zero temps!!
Thanks Lainy! I'll pass on your wishes to my mum. She had a good day, lots of her favourite chocolates. Not as good as getting mum out but in this weather there is no chance of that.
Randi, the temp here today would equal about 23F over your way. And now we have more snow and gales, grrrrr! Temps down tonight to about -9 or 15F over your way. Brrrr!
Low 90's Lainy????? We don't even get that on a blisteringly hot day at the height of summer here!
So believe it or not it was 60 degrees here today! Will be the same tomorrow but down to the 30s on Tuesday and so on...
No predicting the weather here, just take it as it comes I guess.
Supposedly it is meant to be cold here all the rest of this week and into next week as well with the risk of more snow next week. Spring? Ha...NOT!!!! Grrrrrrrr..............

Alcohol is a factor in 95% of sexual assaults reported to the UNC Police Department. Alcohol impairs inhibitions, judgment and decision making. Mixing alcohol and sex puts you at risk for sexual assault, sexually transmitted diseases, or simply being in an embarrassing and awkward situation in the morning. One in five college students abandon safe sex practices when they're drunk, even if they always protect themselves when sober.
If a person is incapacitated by alcohol or drugs, s/he by law cannot give consent. If someone is passed out, whether from alcohol, drugs, or illness, s/he cannot give consent to sex. Therefore if sexual contact occurs, it is sexual assault. If you are uncertain if your partner is sober enough to give consent, wait for another time. It's not worth the risk.
The Dangers of Rohypnol & GHB
Rohypnol, GHB and other drugs are sometimes used to facilitate sexual assault. They can be slipped into the drink of an unsuspecting victim, causing incapacitation in just minutes.
Rohypnol: What is it?
Rohypnol (the brand name of Flunitrazepam) is a benzodiazepine like the tranquilizer Valium, yet it is 10 times more potent. Rohypnol has been called the "date rape drug" because of its use in sexual assaults. Rohypnol produces profound, prolonged sedation, a feeling of well being and short-term memory loss. Sedation occurs 15-20 minutes following the administration of just 2 mg of the drug and lasts from 4 to 24 hours.
How Can I Recognize It?
In the U.S., Rohypnol is commonly found in its .5-or 1-mg tablet form or, though rare, in a 2-mg/ml solution that can be injected. The drug is targeted at young people for several reasons. One is that Rohypnol is sold very cheaply (a tablet can be bought for a street value of $1 to $5). Another reason is the innocent appearance of the drug.
In its most common form, it is distributed as a small, round, white "aspirin-like" tablet. It can also be found as a powdered substance. The tablets come packaged in bubble-foil packets and have a "clean, pure" look to them. The drug is odorless, colorless and tasteless. Some of the common street names for Rohypnol include: roofies, roopies, circles, ruffies, roches, and "the forget pill".
What are the Effects on the Body?
The effects of Rohypnol are similar to other sedatives: a drunk appearance (drowsiness, light-headedness, dizziness), muscle weakness, fatigue, slurred speech, loss of motor coordination, loss of judgment, and amnesia that lasts up to 24 hours. Death has resulted in a few Rohypnol users due to coma induction or a combination effect of the drug with other drugs, most notably alcohol. Some of the adverse effects include: hallucinations, delirium, convulsions, coma, numbness, nausea, seizures, and sleep disruption. Patterns of abuse involve mixing the drug with alcohol, spiking drinks in order to commit sexual assault, and ingesting or snorting the drug to boost the effects of cocaine or heroin.
Rohypnol is also used by drug users to offset the effects of withdrawal from other drugs.
GHB - More Than Three Letters:
A drug that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration since 1990 has made an illegal comeback. The substance is called Gamma Hydroxybutyrate, or GHB. It is made from ingredients found in health food and chemical supply stores. GHB is illegal in the U.S. and cannot be bought; however, it is still being clandestinely made and dispensed at night clubs and elsewhere. GHB is sometimes used by athletes because it promotes the release of growth hormones.
GHB creates deep sedation quickly like rohypnol and is considered a "date rape" drug. Known also as Liquid X, Salt Water, Scoop or Easy Lay, GHB in its most common form is a clear liquid; but it may also come in a white, grainy, powdered form. GHB is readily absorbed and reaches the brain quickly. A one-half gram quantity of GHB renders the victim helpless to defend against an assault. Side effects include drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, disorientation, incontinence, coma and death (especially when combined with alcohol).
How Can I Prevent Becoming a Victim?
Do not accept beverages, including nonalcoholic ones, from someone not known and trusted well. In a bar, only accept drinks from the bartender or wait staff. Always watch your drink at bars and parties. Never leave your drink unattended. Be aware of what's going on around you. Be alert to behavior of friends if someone appears much more drunk than they should be considering the amount of alcohol consumed. Be concerned and closely monitor the person's behavior.
What to do if You are Victimized:
If you or a person you know might have been assaulted under the influence of Rohypnol or GHB:
- Call the police (911) for assistance.
- Immediately seek medical help.
- Describe any and all symptoms fully to your physician.
- Make your physician aware that you may have been drugged. It is critical that you be tested as soon as possible for the drug's presence in your body.
- Try not to urinate prior to providing urine samples. If possible, find cups or glasses from which you drank and submit these to the police for laboratory tests.
- Call UNC's Assault Survivors Advocacy Program (ASAP) at 351-4040 for assistance.

Wheeler strikes out 11 in B-Mets' win
Establishes season high over 6 2/3 innings, beats Senators
By Danny Wild / MLB.com | July 31, 2012 7:25 PM ET
In what may have been his final Double-A start, Zack Wheeler recorded a season-high 11 strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings for his 10th win Tuesday as Binghamton held on to beat Harrisburg, 3-2.
The Mets' top pitching prospect fell one shy of his career high in strikeouts while holding the Senators to a pair of runs on four hits and four walks. In winning for the first time since July 14, he combined with the B-Mets' bullpen, anchored by rehabbing closer Frank Francisco, for a season-high 17 strikeouts.
"It was good/ I felt comfortable with the bullpen coming in behind me," Wheeler said. "We had two guys, C.J. [Nitkowski] -- he came in right behind me, got a quick out -- and [Frank] Francisco, I think struck out the side. So that's always good to see him do well. It was a lot of fun."
The start comes in the wake of a report that Wheeler will be promoted to Triple-A Buffalo and make his International League on Sunday.
Wheeler wasn't tipping his hand on the Mets' plans. In fact, he said he didn't know if the reports were accurate.
"No, not really," he said when asked if the rumors affect him. "If it happens, it's a good thing. You gotta stay down here and concentrate on what you're doing, just give your team a chance to win."
Whether Wheeler reaches Buffalo or New York is up to the Mets, a team that reaped instant rewards by promoting fellow top prospect Matt Harvey. For Wheeler, acquired at last year's Trade Deadline from from the Giants, the season has been a learning experience.
"Coming into the season, I was doing my bullpens, working on my off-speed pitches for command, and that's helped me out a lot this year," he said. "It allowed me to get a little deeper in the games. I've been coming after guys. They're more aggressive hitters at this level, so I'm trying to be aggressive coming into the year, being able to throw off-speed pitches for strikes."
On Tuesday, Wheeler fanned his first two batters, got a double play after allowing a sacrifice fly in the second and struck out two more in the third around a pair of walks.
"I didn't know I had that many [strikeouts early]," he said. "I felt good, I was getting my off-speed pitches over to set them up later up in the count."
Tim Pahuta tagged Wheeler for a one-out homer in the fourth, but the 22-year-old right-hander bounced back and struck out the side in the sixth and fanned the only two batters he faced in the seventh.
"He's a big power guy," Wheeler said of Pahuta. "I threw a good pitch, a fastball away, and that's where he ran into it. It was a line drive over the left-field wall. The pitch could have been down, but it was right over the outside corner."
Nitkowski relieved Wheeler and retired Jonathan Tucker on an inning-ending popup. Francisco struck out the side in the eighth.
Wheeler said he felt strong in the seventh after throwing 106 pitches but knew his night was likely over after a particularly lengthy at-bat.
"I was feeling good and then I knew going into my last inning, my count was kinda high, so I had to make it a productive inning, pitch-count wise," he said. "[Jose Lozada] fouled off a ton of balls, that cost me the last batter."
Wheeler got a lead to work with in the first when No. 19 prospect Jefry Marte doubled home No. 6 prospect Wilmer Flores with two outs. Marte singled and scored in the fourth and Flores came home again on an error after drawing a walk in the sixth.
Wheeler set a career high with 12 strikeouts on May 29, 2011 while with Class A Advanced San Jose in the Giants system. He said the curveball was his strikeout pitch Tuesday.
"Probably the curveball and fastball," he added. "Me and my catcher (Francisco Pena) were mixing it up pretty well tonight. I'm getting off-speed pitches over for strikes, just setting them up."
