Blue Lives Matter, a group of active and retired law enforcement officials, is asking all Americans to boycott Ben & Jerry's.
>> Read more trending stories
The group issued the boycott after the ice cream company released a public statement asking people to "not (be) complicit" to systemic racism and injustice.
"It's been hard to watch the list of unarmed black Americans killed by law enforcement officers grow longer and longer," Ben & Jerry's wrote. "We understand that numerous black Americans and white Americans have profoundly different experiences and outcomes with law enforcement and the criminal justice system. That's why it's become clear to us at Ben & Jerry's that we have a moral obligation to take a stand now for justice and for black lives."
Ben & Jerry's also released a list titled "7 Ways We Know Systemic Racism Is Real," which included a subsection identifying disparities in the criminal justice system.
But Blue Lives Matter disagreed with Ben and Jerry's' stance.
"Ben & Jerry's went beyond making a statement in support of civil rights when they actively accused law enforcement of widespread racism," a Blue Lives Matter representative wrote on the group's official website. "By spreading these false and misleading statements, Ben & Jerry's lends an appearance of legitimacy to the baseless claims that police officers are killing men based on the color of their skin. This message has inspired the assassination and attempted assassination of police officers, and it costs officers their lives."
Whether you care about their stance on reparations or parenting, this is about more than just the lives of police officers. Please get the word out that Ben & Jerry's position doesn't reflect American values.Posted by Blue Lives Matter on Monday, October 10, 2016
Ben & Jerry's attempted to address concerns that the company was pointing the finger at law enforcement in its initial statement.
"We want to be clear: We believe that saying black lives matter is not to say that the lives of those who serve in the law enforcement community don't," the company wrote. "We respect and value the commitment to our communities that those in law enforcement make, and we respect the value of every one of their lives. We do not place the blame for this on individual officers. Rather, we believe it is due to the systemic racism built into the fabric of our institutions at every level, disadvantaging and discriminating against people of color in ways that go beyond individual intent to discriminate."
But Blue Lives Matter said the Ben & Jerry's campaign is "dangerous."
"By not only attacking law enforcement, but openly supporting Black Lives Matter, Ben & Jerry's is sure to anger most Americans who do not agree with the political causes that they are supporting," the group said.
Oct. 11 marks International Day of the Girl.
President Barack Obama noted in a recent proclamation that the day recognizes "our obligation to lift up women and girls at home and abroad" and to "build a world where girls feel safe and empowered in their classrooms, their communities and their homes."

The U.N. General Assembly's UN Women points out that the 1.1 billion girls around the world are a "powerful constituency" for shaping a better world.
But there are many issues, including child marriage, that prevent girls from living their best lives.
The theme of this year's International Day of the Girl is "Girls' Progress = Goals' Progress: A Global Girl Data Movement." It's a call to action for better investment and analyzing girl-focused data. The hope is by recognizing and closing the gaps in data and knowledge about what girls need, young women will be empowered.

A closer look at Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson's cleats during warmups for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns show yellow caution tape in a design that criss-crosses the shoes.
In a statement, Jackson addressed the design, saying it was part of a bigger message.
"Today is the start of my attempts to be part of a solution and start dialogue about the senseless killings of both citizens and police," he said. "I have chosen to wear these cleats in pregame today to use my platform as a pro athlete to add to this discussion. This isn't meant to be any kind of protest against the good men and women in law enforcement in this country. I just want to express my concern in a peaceful and productive way about issues that are currently impacting our country."
"I've seen enough yellow caution tape, and it's time for a stand and a change in our community and society," Jackson told TMZ.
The Redskins organization said it supports Jackson's effort.
"We stand in support of both DeSean and the law enforcement community," the team's statement said. "We have great respect for law enforcement and the sacrifices they make each and every day to protect and serve our communities. We continue to have open dialogue with our players about issues that are important to them and support their efforts to bring awareness to those issues when done in a responsible manner."
Jackson, who also told TMZ that he's using his "stage and platform" to raise "awareness to help prevent these killings," said that he is "also coming up with a master plan to start a movement."
An East Tennessee State University student has been charged with civil rights intimidation after heckling Black Lives Matter demonstrators at a peaceful silent protest on the school's campus.
Tristan Rettke, an ETSU freshman, arrived at the protest at Borchuck Plaza at the school's campus barefoot in a gorilla mask and denim overalls.
Video footage showed him attempting to hand out "noose-wrapped bananas" from a burlap sack to the demonstrators. The sack had a marijuana leaf and a Confederate flag printed on it.
"He pulled out his burlap sack and then he had the rope and whatnot and then he started offering us bananas," said Jaylen Grimes, one of the demonstrators. "A lot of us didn't take it, but I just took (it) as a sign of peace offering and just to show him that just because he's being disrespectful towards me, I won't be disrespectful towards him."
As part of his counterprotest efforts, Rettke held up a sign that said "Lives Matter."
A video posted by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom) on Sep 28, 2016 at 7:54pm PDT
"He's just trying to get a reaction out of us that we're not going to give him. We're bigger than that," said one protestor who held a sign that read "Black Lives Matter (doesn't mean) all lives don't (matter).
Rettke, 18, was escorted from the protest by public safety officers and was later criminally charged by the Johson City Police Department.
Rettke told police he went to the event "in (an) attempt to provoke the protesters."
ETSU President Brian Noland held a press conference Wednesday after seeing video of the incident. He discussed the event during a "community dialogue" on campus.
"I was offended, but I was also saddened," Noland said, calling Rettke's actions "incomprehensible, intolerable and impermissible."
Rettke has been placed on interim suspension from the college.
In a statement, ETSU said Rettke's actions "go against the values" of the school and that the university is a place "where people come first and all are treated with dignity and respect."
The university applauded the protestors for remaining clam despite Rettke's actions.
"We are exceptionally proud of the students who were peacefully participating in the event and the manner in which they exercised restraint, thoughtfulness and strength in the face of inappropriate and offensive behavior," Noland said.
"Of course, it's hard to stay calm because they're doing it because they know they can get under your skin," Grimes told The Johnson City Press. "You've just got to have thicker skin and be the bigger person and just show that ignorance is not going to override your ability to be calm. Because being calm is a lot more difficult than reacting the way they want us to react, which is in a violent stereotypical black way. But we're not all like that."
"We hold no ill towards him," another student, Grant Madison said. "I added him on Facebook and want to speak with him about why he did it."

Georgetown University is taking steps to atone for its historical ties to slavery.
The plan includes giving the descendants of slaves the same admissions advantages that children of alumni receive. Two buildings on campus will also be renamed.
One will honor Anne Marie Becraft, an African-American woman who opened a school for black girls in the Georgetown area, and the other will commemorate one of the slaves sold to help pay off the university's debt.
In 1838, Georgetown University sold 272 slaves to pay off some of the school's debt. The slaves were uprooted from Maryland and sent to Louisiana.
Target Australia received backlash for a girls' T-shirt that it was selling when parents called the message on the shirt "offensive" and insulting.

The powder-pink shirt chronicled the "Batgirl to-do list:" Dry-clean cape, wash Batmobile, fight crime, save the world."
Some parents criticized the message, saying that it perpetuated gender stereotypes by suggesting a female complete chores before getting out to do more meaningful work.
"I'm insulted that you present a future where our daughters need to complete their 'home duties' before they can go out and save the world," a Melbourne mother, Ninac Ollins, wrote on Target Australia's Facebook page. "We know that working mothers still do more housework than their spouses,. We don't need you to perpetuate this inequity."

"Target, your Batgirl T-shirt is out of step with 21st century family values," Edwards wrote.
"In a world where so many are fighting so hard for equality for our daughters, you put this on your shelves?" customer Shelley Wedemeyer asked the retailer.
Dozens of other customers and parents said they didn't see an issue with the shirt.
A Target Australia representative responded on behalf of the company, saying: "Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. It absolutely wasn't our intention to cause any offense with this shirt, so we really appreciate you all getting in touch with us to let us know your thoughts. We've taken this feedback on board, and sincerely apologize for any disappointment caused."
The shirt was later pulled from stores.
"After reviewing and reading our customers' concerns on the Batgirl tee, we have decided to remove the shirt from our stores. It was never Target's intention to offend our customers with this item," a spokeswoman told The Guardian.
Target Australia has no connection to the U.S. version of Target, according to Mashable.
The "Today" show pointed out that other messages on children's clothing have roused similar sentiments, including an Old Navy shirt that called boys "Ghostbusters" while girls were "Ghostbusters in training."
New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz was asked at a press conference Saturday what he thinks about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit during the national anthem.
"I'm not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick said about the choice. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

But Cruz said that certain political issues are "bigger than" Kaepernick.
Here are Cruz's full remarks:I think, personally, the flag is the flag. Regardless of how you feel about the things that are going on in America today and the things that are going on across the world with gun violence and things like that. You've got to respect the flag and stand up with your teammates. It's bigger than just you, in my opinion. I think you go up there. You're with your team, and you pledge your allegiance to the flag and the national anthem as a team, and then you go about your business, whatever your beliefs are. Colin is his own man. He decided to sit down and sit out and that's his prerogative. But from a personal standpoint, I think you have to stand out there with your team and understand that this is a game and understand that what's going on in the country.
Lee Robertson is one of many people suffering the consequences of ailing health and legal woes.
The 44-year-old began chemotherapy in 2009 to combat pancreatic cancer.
He couldn't work, wrote checks to pay for goods and services, and before long, he was in debt for owing a few stores about $200, The Huffington Post reported.
Over the course of six years, Robertson was arrested seven times, and was ultimately sentenced to 90 days in jail for owing the Sherwood District Court in Arkansas $3,054.51.
This week, Sherwood District Court Judge Milas "Butch" Hale is the subject of a lawsuit claiming the judge has been running a "modern-day debtors' prison." The class action federal civil rights lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Robertson is one of the plaintiffs.
"This is a broken court system that disregards due process rights at every turn. People are doomed for failure when they appear before the court, and most significantly trapped in this never-ending cycle of expanding debt," said Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. "With the resurgence of debtors' prisons, we will continue to see people cycle in and out of jails and prisons across our country merely because of their inability to pay fines and fees tied to low-level, nonviolent offenses."
The suit lawsuit describes a "lucrative" system in Sherwood that "only barely resembles an actual court or independent judicial process," The Post reported.
The suit alleges that defendants, including Robertson and three other plaintiffs, unknowingly forfeit their right to an attorney by signing a "waiver of counsel" that is required to be let into the courtroom and that the court bars defendants' family and friends from witnessing the proceedings.
The suit also claims that the Sherwood Police Department acts as an "extension" of the court's "collections scheme," arresting hundreds of people on "failure to pay" or "failure to appear" charges.
"A single bounced check written 10 years ago for $15 can be leveraged into a debt of thousands and thousands of dollars in fines and fees for inability to pay the original check and then inability to pay the payments that were set up," state ACLU executive director Rita Sklar told KATV-TV.
"Each overdrawn check, no matter how small, can bring in $400 in fines and fees, plus restitution for the amount of the check," The Post reported, adding that the city's budget benefits from paid fines and fees.
"We do not run a so called 'debtor's prison' in Sherwood," Halle told KATV. "If a defendant pleads guilty, or is found guilty, of writing a hot check we set up a payment plan. It is only after the third or fourth time that they fail to comply with a court order that we incarcerate."

Dirty air causes
health issues for Texans such as asthma in the young and can cause heart

Unhealthy Air Harming
Texans – especially those near the Port of Houston and the
ship channel — are breathing worsening toxic particulate matter and unsafe levels
of ozone. This toxic air from diesel trucks, port equipment, ships, and
chemical/petroleum industries will cause greater harm to the people of Texas if
the Texas legislature fails to expand and improve the Texas Emissions Reduction
Plan (TERP) programs. As the population of Texas grows, off-road diesel machines

causing more truck traffic on the roads and more unhealthy air for the
residents near the port and near the roads leading into the port.
In 2001 Texas legislature with the encouragement of Public
Citizen established the Texas emissions reduction plan (TERP), which has
successfully helped reduce emissions from trucks, buses, trains and off-road
equipment around the state. However,
there is still much more work to be done to make the air safe in and around the
Port of Houston and the other areas of the state that do not comply with
federal clean air standards. Since 2001,
succeeding legislatures improved parts of TERP programs, while at the same
time, they have reduced the allocation of funds that could have gotten the job
Public citizen working with the Air Alliance of Houston and the Texas Organizing Project is headed to the
state capitol to lead the effort for the continuation of the TERP programs,
restoration of their funding, and assurances that these programs will clean up the air around
the ports and the rest of Texas. In
addition, we will be working with the Port of Houston Authority, tenants of the
Port, truckers and other equipment operators to ensure that the TERP programs
will be effective at cleaning up the air for all the stakeholders.

Schefter- "Barkley Late first-round pick" Smith scouts "aren't completely wowed"
ESPN's Adam Schefter stated on Mike & Mike Wednesday morning that USC QB Matt Barkley is viewed around the NFL as a "late first-round pick."
Schefter cited a relatively weak incoming quarterback class as reasons for Alex Smith and Michael Vick to "absolutely" have strong offseason markets. Smith is a trade candidate, while Vick is expected to be released after the Super Bowl. Per Schefter, Heisman finalist Collin Klein is viewed as a "late-round pick," and scouts "aren't completely wowed" by West Virginia QB Geno Smith. Barkley showed underwhelming arm strength as a college senior and was interception prone. We wouldn't be surprised if he fell to the second round

It's amazing that people can watch one of the worst offenses in the NFL since 1929 and still refuse to address the #1 issue plaguing that offense.
Yes, more defense is what we'll need. We'll surely be hanging 30+ ppg with a new ILB.

Nobody gives a **** about Sanchez who has made a couple of post-season appearances.
It is not fair to the players that those categories matter more than anything else.
This is a team sport. Yes you have to have a good QB but you also have to have a good defense and ST unit or you will not go very far in the playoffs.

Geno Smith Isnt RGIII
December 6th, 2012
Who does Geno Smith remind you of? (Photo: goldandbluezone.com)
KCCD Writer: Jonathan Hake
All over Kansas City, and the surrounding areas, fans are discussing the future of the Chiefs quarterback position. As fans we often try to compare players to others that came before so that we can better understand what to expect. Expecting Geno Smith to live up to RGIII is asking him to fulfill very large shoes that really dont fit well.
Geno Smith is my top QB of the 2013 NFL draft but he isnt Robert Griffin III. He isnt Jason Campbell, Ben Rothlisberger, or Andrew Luck. These comparisons put unfair expectations on players and what they can or will do in their time with the team. The more important question is why are people making these connections?
Robert Griffin and Geno both got out to a very fast start their senior years. They have shown an ability to protect the ball and avoid interceptions. Both play in an up tempo spread offense that focuses on a lot of screens, options, and quick outs. They both have also shown an ability to punish a defense with the deep pass. These are the similarities but what are the differences?
Griffin will absolutely destroy you with his legs while Geno can scramble if it is the last resort or if the defense makes him an offer he cant refuse. Baylor ran designed run plays for Griffin due to his ability to take any run to the house. Griffin has one of the best arms we have seen coming out of college and is a once in a generation prospect. Geno Smith has the potential to be in the elite QB category. He isnt there yet and he isnt nearly as close as RG III was coming out of college but the potential is there.
Jason Campbell is an understandable comparison and the worst case scenario for Geno. A player with the talent to start who needed a few seasons to put it together but never truly got a shot with a stable team. Campbell has been a player that has shown to be capable when shoved into the fire but never truly been the guy. He will run if you give him five yards and thank you for the free yards. Campbell has a strong arm and has enough accuracy to make almost any throw on the field. Campbell was missing a few traits that I believe Geno has: Genos release is quicker, he makes better pre snap reads, and he dissects a defense and punishes them for making mistakes. Campbell has always been a first read kind of quarterback especially coming out of college.
Ben Roethlisberger also was not the prospect that Geno Smith currently is. Roethlisberger has every bit the arm that Smith has but the way he made his throws coming into the draft needed improvement. Both Geno and Big Ben needed work with their footwork but Bens footwork was compounded by a slow release and a tendency for balls to wobble on him.
Geno throws tight spirals and a release that is only rivaled by Griffins in recent history. Roethlisberger had the added benefit of being huge and the ability to feel the pocket extremely well. He can bounce off of hits and give himself room to make those big plays. He needed the room because of the release and footwork but over the years he has become a much better technical passer.
Who does Geno Smith remind me of when I watch him play, Sam Bradford. They played in shotgun offenses in college, can make any throw on the field when given time, and are very good at recognizing and punishing a defense when they make a mistake. Bradford was a step ahead of Geno in his progression but the way they move in the pocket and the quick release they possess translates well to the NFL.
Bradford was a surefire prospect by many leading up to the 2010 draft. Bradford has had his challenges in the NFL, including injuries. Hes had to deal with multiple coaching and system changes which has led to him seeming uncomfortable in the pocket. He also has had very few weapons at his disposal in St. Louis. Bradford possesses a very calm demeanor he almost appears to not care. Smith doesnt possess this quality. He is very animated when things go badly and equally as animated when things go well.
The key with drafting Geno Smith, Tyler Wilson, or Matt Barkley will be surrounding them with the right team and system. The team must be talented enough to support the QB and the system has to be catered to their strengths. Stability will become a necessity for at least the next three seasons. That is why a complete rebuild will need to take place this offseason.
If you allow Pioli to stay and hire another head coach then you must be committed to him for the next three seasons at least. Head coach, offensive coordinator, and the offensive system need to be stable and allow the new QB the opportunity to use his talents. Can Clark Hunt look at the talent on this team and the performance on the field and say that the GM has done a good enough job to warrant another hire. If that decision is made then the organization needs to be committed and allow the next hires a chance to succeed.
There you go.

Josh Freeman has had a really good season.
And his team still isn't winning enough for him to be anywhere near a top QB in the league. But he's come a long way this season, and I don't think anyone still considers him a potential bust.
He has clearly shown he has the ability this year to be a top QB. They need to turn in the wins for that to happen, though.
EDIT: just checked Freeman's stats in 2010 and actually they were really good. Freeman is the opposite of Cassel. Both had career years in 2010, made the playoffs at 10-6 with a new coach, and had mediocre to shit years before and after.
The difference now appears that the good year was a fluke for Cassel and the bad years a fluke for Freeman.

Ranking the Quarterbacks: Making a Case for Tyler Wilson

KCCD Writer: Elliot Dennis
Okay okay. I know a couple of weeks ago I came out with an argument for why USCs Matt Barkley should be taken first overall by the Chiefs. I now retract that statement. Hes really played himself out of consideration to be even a top-10 draft choice, and unless he has a huge Senior Bowl week and pro day that might just happen.
Now Id like to make a case for Arkansas signal caller, Tyler Wilson. He had a good season last year throwing for 3,638 yards, 24 touchdowns, and six interceptions while completing 63 percent of his passes. He kept improving as the season went on and was prepped to have a big season this year. Wilson also played a little bit in 2010 as a backup to Ryan Mallett, throwing for 453 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions.
In week two this season, Wilson suffered a concussion in an upset loss to Louisiana-Monroe and was held out of the game against then #1 Alabama. So far this year, hes completed 62 percent of his passes for 3,387 yards, 21 touchdowns, with 13 interceptions. Some say he is having a down year, I am saying otherwise.
I believe he has played well considering the circumstances. Bobby Petrino was fired right before the season began and left a huge mess behind him. Along with that, Wilson lost his top three receivers from last season in Joe Adams, Jarius Wright, and Greg Childs. He only has one good receiver to throw to in Cobi Hamilton. The rest of the receiving corps hasnt been able to get open and have dropped numerous passes this season. Along with all this, his offensive line has been shaky this season. Hes taken multiple hits per game and just hasnt looked comfortable behind that offensive line all season. Arkansas is only 41st in college football in sacks allowed (1.5 sacks/game), but its been much worse than the numbers indicate.
Watching Wilson play this season, Ive seen a great NFL-caliber arm from him. He has been able to make throws, such as a throw to the sideline from the opposite hash. There have been some questions about his accuracy this season, most of which are due to him not setting his feet when he throws. However, these issues can be taught by good coaching and practice.
One thing you cant question about Wilson is his toughness. Aside from the concussion that kept him out 2 games, he has played through multiple injuries this season and has looked determined to win, despite his team having a disappointing season.
One thing I really liked about Barkley was that he came back for his senior season to try and win a National Championship, even though it killed his draft stock. The same goes for Wilson. General Managers will love Wilsons drive for a championship.
Now if the NFL Draft were held today, I believe West Virginias Geno Smith would be the choice. Despite his recent struggles, he projects to be the top pick in next years draft. A lot can change between now and April as bowl games, Senior Bowl week, and pro games happen. So these rankings will probably change, but as of now here are my top 5 quarterbacks available:
1. Geno Smith, West Virgina
Smith started this season absolutely on fire. The West Virginia quarterback has a great skill set. He has a good arm to make all the NFL throws and shows good deep accuracy. He has good intelligence going through his progressions and reads and has shown that he can look off a safety. Along with this, he has very good mobility. The knock on Smith is that he plays in a goofy offense and has some mechanical issues with his footwork.
Projection: Top-5 pick
2. Tyler Wilson, Arkansas
Despite a horrible season for Arkansas football, Wilson has played very well. The real argument for Wilson is listed above.
Projection: Top-15 pick
3. Matt Barkley, USC
Last season, Barkley looked to be an elite QB prospect and a safe one. But with his play this season, his draft stock has really fallen; he may not even be a top-10 pick this year. He has great knowledge of the west coast offense and has shown very good accuracy and mechanics. His decision making and arm strength have been in question this year. He hangs the ball out there and cant deliver into tight windows. If he has a bad Senior Bowl he may not even be a 1st round pick, thats how much his stock is falling.
Projection: 1st round pick
4. Aaron Murray, Georgia
Murray really came on as a sophomore in 2011, completing 59 percent of his passes for 3,149 yards, 35 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. He has improved upon that this season, completing 66 percent of his passes for 3201 yards, 30 touchdowns, and only 7 interceptions. He has shown great knowledge of the pro-style offense and has a good arm to make all the throws. The big knock on Murray is his height. But short QBs have started to come on lately (Brees, Russell Wilson), so he could easily sneak into the 1st round with a good pro day.
Projection: 1st to 3rd round pick
5. Mike Glennon, N.C. State
Glennon has the best arm out of the top-5 QBs. He has drawn a lot of Joe Flacco comparisons this season. This season he has completed 57 percent of his passes for 3,648 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. If he can work on his accuracy and decision making, he can be a very successful NFL quarterback with his rocket-arm and good mechanics.
Projection: 2nd round pick

A weakened U.S. dollar compared to the strong French Euro has Algerian wheat buyers shopping in the western United States for alternative sources of Durum wheat.
While Algeria buys most of its wheat from France and Canada, buyers in late May toured wheat areas in Minnesota and North Dakota followed by the Desert Durum areas in California's Imperial Valley and Arizona.
The Arizona stops included meetings with the Bay State Milling Company in Tolleson, Arizona Department of Agriculture Director Don Butler and department staff in Phoenix, Arizona Grain in Casa Grande, and Barkley Seeds in Yuma.
Allan Simons, executive director of the Arizona Grain Research and Promotion Council, assisted with the Arizona leg of the tour.
The California visit included a Desert Durum farm in harvest mode in Brawley, plus a visit at El Toro Export, LLC in El Centro. California Wheat Commission executive director Bonnie Fernandez helped coordinate the visits.
Fernandez said, "We hope to see the benefits from that visit, but I have nothing to announce now. They are interested in buying and we're interested in selling."
"The comment we heard over and over from the Algerians was how impressed they were with the organization of the industry, the attention to details to keep varieties separate, and efforts to maintain high quality," Fernandez said.

In an attempt to keep Google+'s photography features robust and up to par with the competition, Google has announced that they have acquired the photo-centric company behind the 2011 iPad app of the year, Snapseed: Nik Software.
The partnership between Facebook and Instagram is deadly to the competition. A one-two punch that, for right now, can't be blocked. Facebook is the biggest social network in the world, and Instagram is the best at what they do: serving up filtered snapshots wherever users want them, including their own independently operated network. How could a company like Google, with Google+, begin to compete with the titans of industry?
Step one is to offer compelling features over the competition, which they've already done. High-resolution uploads, first-party photo editing and easy to apply filters already exist on Google+. Step two is to present those features in a beautiful, elegant, intuitive way. That's where the acquisition of Nik Software comes in.
Nik Software is home to all sorts of photo editing programs. But they're best known for Snapseed. Snapseed is a multitouch based photo editing suite for the iPad, iPhone, Mac and Windows with a gorgeous interface users have fallen in love with. In its first year in business, Snapseed was able to add 9 million users at $4.99 each. No official app exists, but Snapseed was first demoed for Android back at CES of this year during Nvidia's press event. It seems the ASUS MeMo 370T wasn't the only thing Google had their eye on during the conference. The Snapseed Android app was never released, and now we might have the reason why.
According to The Verge, the developers at Nik Software who were working on Snapseed will be relocated to Google's headquarters in Mountain View where they'll be working directly on integrating Snapseed-like features into Google+. Where Facebook has pledged to leave Instagram as a separate company, it looks like Google will be taking the unified approach. This would definitely level the playing field for Google+'s photo editing capabilities features wise, now they just need the users.
We'll be looking forward to how Nik Software helps shape Google and Google+ for the better in the coming months.

I'm still trying to understand some of the details surrounding the fiasco that led to Vandebilt Catholic High's ouster from Friday's girls basketball playoffs.
I'm still trying to understand some of the details surrounding the fiasco that led to Vandebilt Catholic High's ouster from Friday's girls basketball playoffs.
For now, one thing is clear: The student athletes are the ones suffering the biggest loss. And not just the Lady Terriers but at least two other teams thrust into difficult circumstances by the adults who are supposed to look out for their best interests.
The chaos started Wednesday after Louisiana High School Athletic Association Director Kenny Henderson ruled that sophomore Jewel Triggs, who lived in Thibodaux, violated transfer rules in her move to the Houma school, something her parents and their attorney dispute.
The Courier and Daily Comet are still trying to get answers to some of the questions that remain after the whirlwind of accusations, decisions by the athletic association and judges' rulings that followed.
But unless somebody produces compelling evidence that hasn't already been aired — something that remains a possibility — it sure looks like the right team, Salmen of Slidell, played the disputed playoff game against St. Michael.
Here's why: The athletic association, not the courts, has the final say in the matter. Am I missing something here? I can't see where any state laws were at issue in this eligibility dispute. So what legal justification would a court have for intervening?
I'm not sure why Judge George Larke of Houma ruled otherwise Thursday. He granted Triggs' parents a temporary restraining order that blocked the athletic association's action. That would have thrust Vandebilt back into the playoffs.
The association asked Larke to reconsider Friday, and he refused. So the organization appealed to a Baton Rouge court, which overturned Larke's order hours later. Why? Because, it said, this is the association's business, not the courts'.
And that is the case even if you think the association's director made a bad decision in ruling Triggs ineligible or ousting Vandy from the playoffs as a result. If the parents or anyone else want to appeal, the place to take their grievances is the association and its Executive Committee, not the courts.
Now, I realize things are not so clear-cut, especially when emotions understandably intervene. And the timeframe for anyone seeking redress was short between Wednesday's decision and Friday's playoff game. I suspect Triggs' parents and their attorney, Jay Luke, who is also the husband of Lady Terriers basketball coach Kathy Luke, were fighting for what they thought was right and doing everything in their power to defend a girl's honor, help her pursue a goal she had worked so hard to achieve and secure Vandy's spot in the playoffs. That's a noble cause.
But what's sad is that so many young athletes got hurt in the process.
Amid Friday's legal wrangling and uncertainty, Henderson instructed both Vandy and Salmen to head to Hammond, knowing that, at best, only one of the teams would play. St. Michael, meanwhile, had no idea which team to prepare for. Minutes before the game, as Vandy prepared to warm up, the girls were ordered off the court so Salmen could replace them. Salmen ended up defeating St. Michael 63-34, taking a step in its journey toward the state championship
I'm not interested, at least for now, in casting blame. Vandebilt's administration, in a statement released by the Catholic Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux, admitted it messed up in doing the due diligence necessary to ensure Triggs followed the association's eligibility guidelines. And the school did not appeal Henderson's original ruling that ousted the Lady Terriers from the playoffs.
Now, what can we learn from this unfortunate mess?
I don't know any of those involved personally, but I suspect they care deeply about the student athletes. And any good parent has his or her child's best interests at heart. I suspect everyone was doing what he or she thought was right by the kids, the schools and the association.
It's easy to question in hindsight, but couldn't this dispute have been settled a little earlier? Was it really necessary to drag it out until, literally, the last minute, guaranteeing tears for many young athletes who had no direct involvement or culpability?
Anyone who cares about these young athletes, the kids whom parents, schools and the association so often say they support, will take actions to ensure nothing like this happens again.

Has anyone been able to get one of the DCX3400's working with a av receiver through HDMI?
Comcast support is clueless, shocker. I want to use the new 3d technology of the equipment I already paid for and the comcast box is not performing a correct handshake for hdmi.
any solutions out there? Or move to DirecTv?
Can you be more specific? What does your configuration look like? What is working? What is not?
Sure, sorry.
Comcast DCX3400 going into Yamaha HTR-5063 audio receiver using HDMI. From receiver to Mitsubishi WD-73737 3D HDTV using HDMI.
Comcast works fine directly into the tv, but when placed into the receiver there is a HDCP issue causing a blinking green screen on the tv. I do get about a second of video first.
Yamaha support says that there is issues with motorolla boxes and they don't correctly passthrough HDCP.
There is only 1 HDMI 3d input into the television, hence the need for the receiver as I have a playstation that I use for blueray that also does 3d.
Its a pain to have to switch hdmi inputs on the back of the tv to display 3d content in the medium of choice, and 3d does not work with component cables (component works on the comcast box)
searches for this issue results in tons of posts regarding comcast equipment, but none recently making me wonder if anyone has gotten it working correctly.
Thanks for the read, and appreciate any help anyone can lend.
No one has gotten the Mits 3D to work going through a AVR yet with Motorola set top boxes.
As of now you need to route the HDMI from the STB right to the TV (or Mits 3D adapter if your using one), and then run a optical audio line from the STB to the AVR for the surround sound.
The set top boxes are limited for only 2 devices on the HDMI, so that is what messes with the Mits 3D adapter box.
Since you have a 737 series Mits DLP, I as assuming you have the 3D adapter box inline on the HDMI cable.
It actually does work. I have a Mits 82738 - Denon AVR-791 - Comcast DCX3400.
Must have latest spec HDMI cables. Try switching to 720P.
HDMI doesn't work direct to our Toshiba 52HMX94 whereas the old box did. Just swaped for a DCX3400 because our old box died.
This really sucks... guess I need to drive back to get a component cable.
Just tried a factory reset on the toshiba. The cable box works fine over hdmi now. I only tried it because the blu-ray player stoped working and figured a reset might work.
I think this is the right thread for this.
I have a Motorola 3400M, and also have a problem when I connect through an AV receiver to my TV. Every so often the screen goes black for about a second. Sometimes the sound will drop out.
The dropout is apparently a synch loss somewhere along the chain. Yamaha says it's a problem with the Motorola box, and that's also the word on the net.
Apparently that's the only 3D capable box available to me.
Hey all,
So this seems like the appropriate forum for this question. So basically here is my set up and issue. I am running HDMI cable from DCX 3400 -> Yamaha RX-V67 receiver, and then HDMI from the receiver to -> Samsung LNA550 tv. I get great VIDEO but no AUDIO. I'm wondering if someone can help me troubleshoot this. From what I read I need to get to the "User settings" menu on the STB and go to "additional HDMI settings" and edit the audio output. However, when I go to access the menu, all I see is a blue bar on the bottom of the screen "quick menu" and no "addtl HDMI" options tab. Who knows if this is even the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
you should post this as a new post as the last response was over two months ago if you want some assistance. You will get more people reading it if no one has responded to it previously
here is the manual for that box. Look at page 29. You also might want to get the audio working on your tv fine and then hooking up to the receiver. Also check the receiver manual to see if there are any setting you need to enable for hdmi through it.
Comcast is working on a firmware update for the DCX3400. The DCX3501 has newer firmware and allows more repeaters so it does work with the Mitsubshi 3D box and a receiver.
Has comcast provided an ETA on their firmware update? These boxes have been out there with this issue for almost a year now..
As far as I know they were testing the update in September. If their were any bugs they needed to resolve them and then ttey were planning a nationwide rollout.

Cisco has big hopes for its Smart+Connected Communities program. It envisions municipal mesh Wi-Fi networks supporting innovative services and applications ranging from smart cars to smart trash cans.
Cisco is betting that a new generation of municipal Wi-Fi, incorporating the Internet of Things, will enable smarter management of city infrastructure and better delivery of city services. Read more.
When it came to piloting programs for the new platform, "parking, we thought, could be the first use case," said Hardik Bhatt, director of business development for the program.
Parking? Really?
"The thing about parking is, it gives you a very fast return on investment," said John Backelmans, Cisco's Smart+Connected Communities chief technology officer. So Cisco teamed up with Streetline Inc. to offer real-time parking visibility and management via its municipal mesh Wi-Fi.
It turns out that parking — its cost and its availability or lack of it — is a major factor in city revenue and business development. It's not just the money collected from parking meters and parking tickets; it accounts for a major part of a business district's traffic congestion.
"A surprising amount of traffic isn't caused by people who are on their way somewhere," wrote Donald Shoup, professor of urban planning at the University of California, Los Angeles. "Rather it is caused by people who have already arrived."
In a 2006 paper, Shoup concludes that underpriced curbside parking generates excess traffic, wasting time and gas and inconveniencing businesses and their patrons because of time spent cruising for cheap but crowded on-street parking. "Only trial and error will reveal the right price for curb parking," he wrote.
But applications such as Streetline's ParkSite for city administrators and the mobile app Parker for drivers could help reduce the trial and error by providing accurate information about parking availability and trends.
Shoup cited 2006 driver surveys that found that cruisers looking for parking spaces accounted for 28 percent of traffic in Manhattan's SoHo district and for 45 percent in Brooklyn. His own study of parking in a Los Angeles neighborhood found that the average driver spent a little over three minutes and drove about half a mile looking for an open parking space. It doesn't sound like much, but that involved 8,000 cars looking for parking spaces each day in one small neighborhood, generating 4,000 miles of wasted travel a day, using 47,000 gallons of gas a year and producing 730 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
So better parking management could mean not only happier business owners and drivers, but could be eco-friendly as well.

It's nice people identified this issue! However, if a poor person has a family member in the city hospital and wants to visit, that person must either drive around for street parking or pay $25 for garage parking - just to visit a sick relative in the hospital! There are sometimes hospital vouchers for discounts, etc., but most people in this situation have neither the savvy nor the time to find out about the saving. Also, healthcare plans don't cover parking. So, how to handle problems like this is a tough challenge. I'm glad on I'm not on the committee trying to deal with this!
Stoplights are another area to use more smart technology. It is not uncommon for a stoplight to change when the other way is clear of any vehicles.

Rams down Ridgway in five innings
Johnsonburg baseball moved to 3-0 on the season with an 11-0 win in five innings over Ridgway Tuesday afternoon at Sandy Beach Recreational Park. "It was nice having that kind of a win," Johnsonburg coach Jeff Peterson said. "They're young, you can tell they're trying out some new pitching and working through it. Some games you pick and choose when you're going to do that. They got a big one against (ECC) coming and I'm sure they're getting ready for it. I'm sure they want to go after them and play them tough. Josh will be ready then. When they throw Josh (Mitchell), they're going to be tough to beat no matter what. He's going to keep them in it."

Valentine's Day :: zakka inspired zippered pouch
I finished my little project today: a zakka inspired zippered pouch. It was fun and easy to make. For the past week or so, I had been thinking of something to use my crocheted hearts for. It was only when I visited Eloleo's blog and saw her latest creation with free-style embroidery, that all pieces fell into place. A zippered pouch with the heart free-style embroidered onto it! So here it is!
The part I like best? The zipper! A vintage zipper found at our local "mercerie". The girls start laughing as soon as I even mention that store. It's ran by three ladies. And all three they have in common they do not always appreciate the presence of kids at their store. And they're very conservative. Like with the zipper today - Ok, maybe in this case I was the one being conservative. I took the little pouch with me and I had a certain idea of the kind of zipper I wanted: a metal one. I spotted a nice red-ish one. "Oh non! Red wouldn't work, beige is what I needed. A beige polyester one, that is.". Well, I didn't agree. And I did not only buy a red zipper but a whole array of zippers, all in faded candy colors. At a bargain price, because these were old zippers nobody else wants anymore. Again according to the ladies at the store. Good thing I'm conservative when it comes to zippers...
And the second best part are the three little hearts in the back.

|Crucial 240-pin DIMMs are used in DDR3 memory for desktop computers. DDR3 is the latest generation of memory with an improved architecture that allows it to transmit data more quickly. A dual inline memory module (DIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). The gold pins on the bottom of the DIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a DIMM are not connected to each other.
|Each 240-pin DIMM provides a 64-bit data path (72-bit for ECC or registered or Fully Buffered modules). (The Ballistix and Ballistix Tracer high-performance memory do not come in 72-bit or registered modules.) Standard DDR3 240-pin DIMMs are currently available in DDR3 PC3-8500 SDRAM. Additional speeds will be added as the technology becomes available. To use DDR3 memory, your system motherboard must have 240-pin DIMM slots and a DDR3-enabled chipset. This is because a DDR3 SDRAM DIMM will not fit into a standard DDR2 DIMM socket or a DDR DIMM socket. The number of black components on a 240-pin DIMM can vary, but it always has 120 pins on the front and 120 pins on the back, for a total of 240. 240-pin DIMMs are approximately 5.25 inches long and 1.18 inches high, though the heights can vary. While 240-pin DDR3 DIMMS, 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs, 184-pin DDR DIMMs, and 168-pin DIMMs are approximately the same size, 240-pin DIMMs and 184-pin DIMMs have only one notch within the row of pins.

Dollars Not Sense at the Heart of Hakim's Decision
Dollars Not Sense at the Heart of Hakim's Decision
Hakim chose money over loyalty. By Nick Athan Publisher
Date: Jun 18, 2005
In a strange twist of the bizarre, veteran wide receiver Az-Zahir Hakim had a change of heart and decided not to honor his contract agreement with the Chiefs. The vacancy caught everyone by surprise at Arrowhead on Friday as Kansas City will turn their attention to free agent wide receiver Freddie Mitchell.
When Warpaint Illustrated first reported that Az Hakim had changed his mind about signing with Kansas City; we had to do a double take. After receiving a tip early Friday morning that he was headed to New Orleans to sign a long term deal, we verified the accuracy of the rumor and people within the Saints and Chiefs organization each confirmed that Hakim had decided to take New Orleans up on their contract offer. Needless to say, Chiefs Head Coach Dick Vermeil was not all that happy that his former wide receiver changed his mind.
"I was little disappointed, but I understand. That's just the nature of this game. You can't have everything you want,� Vermeil said after the first mini-camp workout.
Though the Chiefs had initially denied the change of heart was related to money, Vermeil clarified what we had confirmed earlier in the day. "Az and his agent got together and they really felt his best situation was not here for him. Then he and I discussed it. I told you all along that I wanted what was best for him and I think he's going to end up in New Orleans.�
That is where he'll end up and reportedly he's going to sign a multi-year deal. Hakim received no guarantees from the Chiefs who were only offering a one-year contract. The Saints had offered a two-year deal but when word leaked out of a possible contract snag with Kansas City, New Orleans increased their offer to three years. That was more than enough for Hakim's agent Bruce Tolner to convince Hakim that he better take the money from the Saints.
One person who was very shocked at the turn of events was Chiefs quarterback Trent Green. He was excited about the opportunity to add a veteran like Hakim to his arsenal of offensive weapons.
"Yes, I really was. Talking to Az Hakim he was excited to be here. Talking to him on the field and when we were going through practice holding the scripts we went through a recall from when we were in St. Louis. He was excited for the opportunity and the offense that we have here. It's really shocking to me. If he is presented with a better opportunity then that's great. Coach came to me this morning and gave me a brief update with what happened and I don't know what it was that he changed his mind,� Green said on Friday.
Regardless of what happened the Chiefs find themselves in an awkward situation. They made it clear by signing Hakim that they were not happy with the wide receiver crew currently on the roster. Though Vermeil has talked about taking snaps away from Dante Hall, right now he's the teams third receiver behind Eddie Kennison and Samie Parker. That would be a big mistake by the Chiefs who don't want to jeopardize the return game by spreading Hall to thin by playing on offense and special teams.
Now the Chiefs will likely turn to former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Freddie Mitchell. "We're in contact with Freddie because we had him in here before,� Vermeil said.
Hakim was clearly the favorite of Vermeil and now they must recruit Mitchell who was the runner-up in the beauty contest. The Chiefs talked to Mitchell briefly before signing Hakim but they felt he wasn't a fit for the Chiefs and thus they passed on him. Now they look desperate and if I were Mitchell's agent; I wouldn't sign for the NFL minimum as Hakim had agreed upon in the first place.
But as Vermeil put it to reporters on Friday, Kansas City is trying to save face on the entire situation. "No, we decided to go with Az Hakim because he already knew the offense. I felt I owed him an opportunity. It didn't work and now we'll bring Freddie in probably if we can talk to him tonight (Friday),� the Chiefs Head Coach said.

"SSTL would like to categorically state that there are no plans of acquiring any telecom service provider. From the perspective of SSTL, the immediate priority is to look at the
outcome of the company's curative petition filed in the Supreme Court," the company said in an statement.
A joint venture between Russian conglomerate Sistema and Shyam Teleservices, SSTL's 21 licences were among the 122 licences quashed by the Supreme Court in February.
The company has filed a curative petition before the Supreme Court seeking restoration of its licences. The petition was filed on May 4, 2012 but has not been listed for hearing till date.
The company has consistently maintained that being a pure play CDMA operator, its legal case is significantly different compared to other mobile operators, SSTL said.
"For example, there is no finding or suggestion by the CAG report that CDMA spectrum was equally or anywhere near in demand as GSM back in 2008. The same also became evident in the recently concluded auction for CDMA," he said.
To continue its operations, the company was required to participate in the recent spectrum auction. However the company did not participate in the auction. The licences of the company are valid till January 18, 2013, as per the Supreme Court order.
The government plans to conduct another auction of CDMA spectrum till March end as there was no bidder for these airwaves in the recent sale.

The just released version 11.02 of the Genode OS Framework pushes its platform support to 8 different kernels. Genode allows the construction of specialized operating systems by combining one of those kernels with a steadily growing number of ready-to-use components. The new platform additions are the support for Fiasco.OC, which is a modern capability-based microkernel, the upgrade to the NOVA hypervisor 0.3, and a custom kernel implementation specifically targeted to softcore CPUs as employed in FPGA-based SoCs. Functionality-wise, Genode 11.02 features the first parts of a new execution environment for running command-line-based GNU software natively on Genode.

Harper's Magazine Publisher Shakes Verbal Fist At Google; Romanticizes Own Profession; Quotes Teletubbies
from the this-is-the-most-'angried-up'-his-blood-has-ever-been dept
Now, he's back and he's narrowed his focus to one company: Google. After spending a moment cheering on French ISP Free for its short-lived ad-blocking internet service (to better choke off arch-nemesis Google's ad revenue), MacArthur gets down to brass tacks: namely, how awesome his mag is and how much he fails to understand what Google actually is... or does.
As publisher of a magazine that specializes in substantive, complex, and occasionally lengthy journalism and literature, and that also lives off advertising, I've long objected to Google's systematic campaign to steal everything that isn't welded to the floor by copyright — while playing nice with its idiotic slogan "Don't be evil.""Long objected" apparently means whipping up a once-a-year rant aimed vaguely at "The Internet" and filled with self-serving blasts of journalistic piety and rheumy-eyed nostalgia. Google (and its "smaller rivals") provide "logistical support" to pirates and "repackage" the output of hard-working, life-risking journalists, according to MacArthur, having apparently mistaken search engine results for a web scraper's "blog." These people Google "steals" from are gods among men -- from the "humblest newspaper reporter" to the "most erudite essayist." Oddly, he fails to mention the "most intrepid voicemail hacker" or the "most thorough plagiarist" or the "most accurate gun permit cartographer."
Even if he had included a few lowlights, somehow they would have been Google's fault. Because Google makes the world worse.
This for-profit theft is committed in the pious guise of universal access to "free information," as if Google were just a bigger version of your neighborhood public library. Acceptance of such a fairy tale lets parasitic search engines assert that they are "web neutral," just disinterested parties whose glorious mission is to educate and uplift.This might be your problem, Jack. You're expecting Google to "educate and uplift" and it's more interested in indexing the web in order to give you relevant search results. Google's search engine is a tool and you're expecting it to be the teacher from "Dead Poet's Society." Relevance is more important to people who are looking for something than some utopian ideal that "educates and uplifts."
Yes. It's all very annoying and unhinged and bordering on trolling, but MacArthur really outdoes himself with this paragraph, one that indicates his biggest frustration with Google might be that he seems to have no idea how to use it effectively.
This is nonsense, of course. Google's bias for search results that list its own products above those of its competitors is now well-known, but equally damaging, and less remarked, is the bias that elevates websites with free content over ones that ask readers to pay at least something for the difficult labor of writing, editing, photographing, drawing, and painting and thinking coherently. Try finding Harper's Magazine when you Google "magazines that publish essays" or "magazines that publish short stories" — it isn't easy.I'd really, really, really like to see MacArthur produce a little evidence to back up his claim that Google gives priority to "free content" sites over those with paywalls. Just a hint, paywallers: if you lock it up, it's no longer searchable. There's your problem. If Google can't crawl it, it won't appear. Just something to consider. And I really love the tossed off "thinking coherently." Because people giving away their work for free are idiots, apparently.
And, yeah, just try to find any major magazine using those ridiculous search terms. (Here's a beautiful rebuttal.)
If I was looking to submit an essay somewhere, I might use something like those terms, only phrased much less stupidly. There are several ways to find Harper's, but getting it to the front page involves typing in the magazine's name. And if I already know that, what do I need with a search engine?
You know how I get all my news? I Google for "world wide web sites about what happened in real life in the recent past"— Alexis C. Madrigal (@alexismadrigal) January 18, 2013
One other way many people discover quality long-form writing is through aggregators like Longreads, The Essayist or The Browser. From that point, they move on to the magazines themselves. These filters, curated by humans, do what search engines and meandering anti-Google rants can't: connect quality journalism and essays with readers. Quality aggregation (and effective search engines) save these readers the most precious of commodities -- time.
From this point, MacArthur's post devolves into infantile name-calling using infantile terms while trying to make the point that the internet (being Google) is turning us into babies who just want free stuff while making billionaires out of Google's executives. Here's a mercifully brief sample:
It's no coincidence that Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and Yelp sound like toddler gibberish from the Teletubbies. Whenever I hear these silly corporate names invoked with sanctimonious awe, I imagine Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po, and Tinky-Winky singing their hit single "Teletubbies say 'Eh-oh' " as they shake the change out of some two-year-old's pocket.If unchecked, where will this all lead, according to The Last Honest Essayist?
This unending assault of babble potentially could lead to revolutionary conditions in which the new writer-teacher proletariat rises up to overthrow the Internet oligarchy and the politicians and government agencies who protect it.I think MacArthur greatly overestimates the size of this theoretical revolutionary force. And be sure to note that he's conveniently pulled teachers into the ranks in order to boost his already-monumental self image. Journalists, writers, teachers: the last hope for humanity in the face of Big Search.
It's not so much that MacArthur clearly doesn't understand what he's attacking. This happens several times a day all across the internet. It's that his masturbatorial (like an "editorial," only more self-serving) rant projects an egomaniacal picture of the Publisher/Writer/Journalist as the Savior of Culture. This picture (usually a self portrait) has been painted many times before with a variety of ever-broadening brushes. Creation = good. Aggregation = bad. Google = evil. The arguments never get any better or smarter and do little else but expose the authors as short-sighted pessimists ineptly guarding swiftly vanishing turf.

I wrote a feature investigating two related puzzles for the October issue of Governing: Why have so many gubernatorial candidates won elections in unfriendly places (Republicans in Democratic states and Democrats in Republican states) and why have they thrived? But even with 3,000 words with which to work, I couldn't fit in all the possible explanations. So here are all the ones I can think of, with arguments for and against:
Explanation #1: The country isn't really all that divided; there aren't red states and blue states.
Pro: Stanford Professor Morris Fiorina has argued that even on the most divisive issues -- abortion and gay rights -- most Americans favor moderate positions regardless of what state they call home. Even in Mississippi, 2 of 5 voters supported Kerry, while in New York 2 of 5 supported Bush.
Con: States seem to have consistent partisan preferences, except in gubernatorial politics. Only three states flipped parties between the 2000 and the 2004 presidential election. The party that lost the 2004 state presidential vote has the majority of seats in only 35% of state legislatures and 14% of congressional delegations. But 42% of governors are "mismatched."
More possible explanations after the jump.
Explanation #2: They win because they're moderate and distance themselves from their party.
Pro: Wyoming Democrat Dave Freudenthal has been quoted saying, "I don't care about Howard Dean." Connecticut Republican Jodi Rell signed the only law in U.S. history to offer same-sex civil unions that wasn't prompted by a court order.
Con: Being moderate doesn't seem sufficient for mismatched candidates running for other offices to win. In 2004, Democrats ran prominent moderates for U.S. Senate in Alaska, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Louisiana. They all lost.
Explanation #3: Voters like to balance the power of the legislature by electing governors of the opposite party, often meaning the minority party controls the governorship.
Pro: Many observers think this argument explains the success of Republicans in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, where voters support overwhelmingly Democratic legislatures, but, the theory goes, like to keep government spending in check with G.O.P. governors. The opposite party from the governor controls the legislature in lots of other states too, including Wyoming, Kansas, California, Hawaii, Maryland, Arizona and Connecticut, just to name some of them.
Con: When Montanans elected Democrat Brian Schweitzer, they gave him a Democratic legislature. New Yorkers elected George Pataki three times, even though the state already had a Republican state senate. In general, most voters aren't sophisticated enough to consider the interplay of different branches of government when deciding how to cast their ballots.
I'll have more tomorrow.

Nicki Minaj Dons Two-Faced Suit
Nicki Minaj kills it on stage during Hot 97′s Thanksgiving Thank You Concert held at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom on Thursday (November 25).
The 25-year-old rapper donned an unforgettable two-faced suit from The Blonds — the front half looked like a normal black silk suit while the back half was a nude bejeweled body suit (reminiscent of Britney Spears's nude body suit in her "Toxic" music video).
Nicki sang her ballads "Save Me" and "Right Thru Me" as well as "Roman's Revenge" with Busta Rhymes, "I Ain't Thru" with Keyshia Cole, "Fly" with Rihanna, "Up All Night" with Drake, and "Monster" with Kanye West. Sick concert!
15+ pictures inside of Nicki Minaj's two-faced suit…


text: According to the chart in this http://www.radiantsite.com/files/inf...esidential.pdf Btu output is dependent on the size of tubing used and the spacing of it. For a 1/2 tube spaced 12" apart the Btu output is 10-20h, 9" a part it's 20-30btuh, and 6" it's 30-40btuh. Would adding one length of tubing in each bay increase the Btu output in higher heat loss areas providing that the circuit is the same length as the existing circuits in that zone? Like adding another section of baseboard in series to an existing system.
