Our local newspaper just ran an Associated Press article about the 2012 drought and ethanol production. A few highlights:
- "...of the nation's 211 ethanol plants, 20 have ceased production over the past year, inluding 5 in January."
- "Still, there is growing concern about what happens if the drought lingers through another corn-growing season."
- "About 95 percent of US ethanol is made from corn."
- "...39 percent of the US corn crop is used in ethanol production."
- "Even though more acres were planted in 2012 compared to 2011, about 13 percent less corn was harvested."
- "...not much of an issue for consumers, at least for now, because there are plenty of stockpiles of ethanol."
- "...the nation has more than 20 million barrels of ethanol in stock."
In case you thought this was good news and surely the EPA would re-think increasing ethanol content to 15% in gasoline, the last two quotes will set you straight. I feel sorry for the corn farmers but wish they would make corn flakes instead of ethanol.

Q. We chose to move to a new school that opened up because we heard how wonderful it was, but we are finding there is a lot of talk, and not a lot of really anything substantial in the learning department. Bells and whistles, yes, learning, not if I'm honest compared to my neighbor's child's work. There is lots of parent-help and volunteers, many affluent, privileged families, and a ton of fundraising, but the learning is not up to where we were coming from. In that instance, I think I should go back, but that means going back to hardly any parent help or fundraising and a lot of kids to help whose parents aren't really helping at the school. Plus, I am a little embarrassed to admit I was wrong and go back to my neighborhood school after leaving. I should go back, right?
A. Parents always do the best they can for their children. You thought this new school was better, so you tried it. It sounds like this new option is not a comfortable fit, especially if the learning is not up to par with the public school you left. True quality schools are those that welcome everyone and still produce stellar results.
Public schools have had lots of budget cuts, but the lack of parent help at a school is often indicative of financial situations of the families at the school. These have been difficult times for families the past few years and budget cuts to schools on top of that make it difficult all around. Try not to pass judgment upon your return. If you did before you left, try to see it differently when you come back.
Your home is also in the neighborhood of the public school, so you will be welcome to return. It doesn't matter what else you tried. If you said things that were boastful, you simply learned differently. I wouldn't worry about that. Your property value is directly related to how well the neighborhood school does, so look at your return to the school as an investment for your family.
When you are able to volunteer at your local school, you are making a difference in the lives of your neighbors. That is what our communities do. To the extent that they are able, the other families are helping, and to the extent that you can help, you should. I am a teacher, so I do not shy away from helping any child. I want to help them all. Most volunteers I work with feel the same way. They want to help their own children and all of the children in their community. You should go back to the school that is best for your children.
Q. You know how there is report card conference week? When do teachers close their grade books to do the report cards before that week?
A. Teachers usually close their grade books a week before conference week in order to have report cards ready for the parent teacher conferences.

Include All Credit Unions in CFPB Complaint Data: Report
The CFPB's online complaint database should be extended to include all the nation's credit unions and banks, regardless of size, a new report says.
Federal regulators also should further investigate CFPB complaint data for possible violations of consumer protection and anti-discrimination laws, because there were differences found in reporting levels between predominantly minority and non-minority communities, according to the report released Tuesday by the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.
"The CFPB, the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board and the NCUA should develop a joint database covering all banks and credit unions so that the public has a more comprehensive view of the number of complaints issued from customers of large and small institutions," said the NCRC analysis of bank account complaints by ZIP code.
Only financial institutions with assets of $10 billion or more – including four credit unions of that size – are currently included in the complaint database since they are directly supervised by the CFPB.
As Credit Union Times has previously reported, the CFPB refers the complaints it receives against banks and credit unions with less than $10 billion in assets to their own regulators.
"The CFPB database should also have more detail about the nature of the complaint, and include a short narrative description of the complaint, so that the public knows more about whether the issue concerned price, quality of service, or other issues," the NCRC analysis said.
The NCRC's findings were based on complaint data made public by the CFPB this spring.
"This analysis reveals that predominantly minority communities are more likely to submit complaints about poor service related to bank accounts than predominantly white communities," the NCRC found.
"At the same time, upper income communities are more likely to submit complaints than lower-income communities," said the review.
The NCRC also found that minority communities are more likely to file complaints about bank accounts regardless of their income level.
"The disproportionately high rate of complaints to the CFPB from predominately minority communities may be suggestive of fair lending concerns. We urge federal regulators to examine the complaint database closely for possible patterns of discrimination," said NCRC President/CEO John Taylor.
"The good news is that residents in minority communities are more likely to also receive monetary relief as compensation for their complaints," said the analysis.
"However, the CFPB database does not indicate whether this resolution was satisfactory to the consumer or whether the consumer continued a relationship with the bank. In addition, minority communities are also more likely than predominantly white communities to have their complaints unaddressed by banks."

Ruling on Ruiz's home run overturned
Toronto run taken off board when deep drive is ruled foul
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
The Blue Jays' designated hitter, who was leading off the frame against Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte, connected on a deep drive down the left-field line that appeared to strike the foul pole before bouncing back to the field.
But Yankees left fielder Jerry Hairston Jr. saw it differently from his vantage point, spotting it make contact with a fan sitting to the left of the pole.
"I saw the ball hit the fan, and he was on the other side," Hairston said. "It was obvious to me, because I was right there. I had the best look at it."
Ruiz circled the bases for what he thought was his sixth home run of the season, but led by crew chief Tim Tschida, the umpires took a second look, leaving the field through the Yankees' dugout. Pettitte thought the original call would stand up until Derek Jeter told him differently.
"I thought it was a homer," Pettitte said. "But immediately Jeet and the guys came over and said it shot off. I didn't even pay attention to how hard it was hit, but they said, 'Dude, it shot off like it hit the concrete up there.' Then I realized, maybe it did hit the concrete."
Upon closer inspection, the ball appeared conclusively to strike the blue facing just to the left of the mesh of the foul pole and was ruled a foul ball.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that his first inclination had not been to argue the call.
"Initially, I didn't, but then someone said that if it had hit the net, you would have seen the net move," Girardi said. "I said, 'You know what? I didn't see the net move.' The umpires got it right, and that's good for us."
The Blue Jays' run was taken off the scoreboard, and the Rogers Centre crowd booed as Tschida ordered Ruiz back to home plate to complete the at-bat. They booed again when Ruiz grounded out to third baseman Alex Rodriguez for the first out of the inning.
Ruiz got a measure of revenge when he went deep off Pettitte in the fourth inning, launching a solo shot into left-center field, nowhere near the foul pole.

Rams, Pats, Cards.
The Rams are beatable, the Pats only beat us by 3 points up at Gillette and now have to play us at Metlife, and the Cards are a mess of a team right now. Absolutely the Jets could rip off 3 straight here and then we're 6-6 with four games left to play.
This is football, score points, no story necessary.
Tebow controversy, empty stadium, Hernandez resting for a few weeks, chance to get Rex fired after national blow out
I agree the Rams are beatable so will focus on that today
That was a tough one to swallow.
Sent from my LG-P999
Time to root for losing out so we can draft Geno or Landry and so that the FO is purged and the team sold
Yeah it stinks. Im watching the game today hoping i see something surprising.
Wed have to go on a sick winning streak with this personnel and coaching which both leave a bit to be desired.
The 2012 Jets, simply are not a talented team.
To get better, we need changes at GM & Scouting. Rex needs better players to coach.
So we're still out or..........?

That warning came from MTA Chairman H. Dale Hemmerdinger as the time grew shorter for the legislature to approve a plan that would increase fares only 8% but also impose a payroll tax in the 12-county area served by the MTA and introduce tolls on New York City's East River and Harlem River bridges. Hemmerdinger said MTA's board would meet on March 25 to vote on a new fare and service structure to go into effect in June. He said the deadline "is not artificial--it's quite real."
A commission led by former MTA Chairman Richard Ravcitch proposed the rescue plan to cover a sharp drop in tax revenue that help support the transit agency and to meet large interest payments on debt that has financed an ambitious capital improvement program.
The plan has the support of Gov. David K. Paterson and Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon A. Silver, but it has run into sharp resistance in the State Senate, where it is opposed by some Democrats and nearly all Republicans.

We have much to be proud of in the Wake County Public School System in North Carolina -- our schools are competitive, our teachers accomplished, and most of our students are thriving. It would be easy to take those blessings for granted.
Instead, we decided to dig deeper into how our schools and central services administration work together. We wanted to know whether our schools were up to the challenge of preparing all of our students to become lifelong learners who will succeed in a global economy.
To find this out, we took a step not often taken by successful school districts: We engaged in a bottom-to-top, school-to-superintendent curriculum management audit.
Auditing our entire academic program confirmed that, if we wanted to move from "good to great," to use business writer Jim Collins' phrase, we needed to make some serious changes.
The need for change is obvious in a failing school system. However, in a successful school system seeking continuous improvement, you have to be proactive to find the changes that your students need. This is the story of how we took that step. Would you like to continue reading? Subscribers please click here to continue reading.

INDIANAPOLIS — Sam Hornish Jr. will be back in Penske Racing's No. 22 Sprint Cup car this weekend at Indianapolis and again next weekend at Pocono Raceway as he replaces suspended teammate AJ Allmendinger.
He doesn't know how many Cup races he will run beyond that, but hopes to make the most of the opportunity to perhaps open the door for a return to the series full time.
Allmendinger was suspended indefinitely for failing a June 29 drug test. He has entered NASCAR's Road to Recovery program, but Dr. David Black, who runs NASCAR's substance-abuse program, said this week that it could take several months for Allmendinger to complete the program and apply for reinstatement.
Hornish, who has 112 career Cup starts and drives for Penske full time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, believes he's the obvious choice to replace Allmendinger for the rest of the season. A flat tire relegated him to a 33rd-place finish at Daytona July 7 and he finished 22nd at New Hampshire in his first two races since Allmendinger was suspended.
"I'm already here, I'm already driving for Penske," Hornish said Thursday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "To me, it would be a logical thing to put me in the car. To actually get the word I was going to be the one that they were going to put in at that point, it felt good.
"I don't know how I would have felt if they put somebody else in the car. For all the circumstances and things around it, I'm just basically glad I can be here doing what I've tried to do the last two years for Penske, which is to be here for the organization and learn as much as I can."
Hornish, a three-time IndyCar Series champion, ran four IndyCar seasons for Penske from 2004-07 before moving to NASCAR full time. He ran three full Cup seasons from 2008-10, but struggled and moved back to the Nationwide Series this year to try to resurrect his career.
Beyond next week, Penske has not announced its plans for Allmendinger's No. 22 car. Penske officials said earlier this week that they would continue to assess the situation surrounding Allmendinger, who's contract is up after this season and who's return to the series is uncertain.
"You never give up hope in terms of AJ's situation," Penske Racing president Tim Cindric told Speed. "I think the best thing that he can do is to continue to do what he is doing, and work with NASCAR to understand what process and what steps he needs to take to be reinstated in the Cup garage. I think that's where his priority needs to be right now."
Hornish, meanwhile, will prepare for Indy and Pocono and then wait and see.
"We're going to do these two (races)," Hornish said. "That's what we know right now and move on from there. We're all just trying not to think too far ahead at this point."
"I think the situation (with the 22) is going to continue to be fluid," Cindric told Speed. "In announcing that Sam's going to continue to drive the car at Pocono, that continues to give our team enough time to prepare in the right way. Sam has certainly done a great job under difficult circumstances because he has to adapt to new people and new things. I think that he'll continue to get more comfortable as we go through a couple of more races."
Hornish, 33, said the key for him will to be to focus on the car and not a certain finish.
"The thing that gets me in trouble more than anything else is pressure—wanting myself (to be) able to do more than what maybe I'm given that day," Hornish said. "Lately I've tried to be a lot smarter about taking what the car will give me on that day. I don't have to carry an eighth-place finish on my shoulders or (think) it was all my fault.
"… There is pressure, but I know I've got to go out there and do the best of my ability, finish the race, try to tell them how to make the car better."
Hornish won the 2006 Indianapolis 500 for Penske, so Indy is a special place for him. He missed the Brickyard 400 last year while running a partial Nationwide schedule.
He will run both the inaugural Nationwide race at the track on Saturday (he's fourth in the Nationwide standings) and then the Cup race on Sunday.
"To have the opportunity to have won the Indianapolis 500, that made everything else a lot easier to come here," he said. "If I was coming here running this without doing it, I'd be a lot more nervous. … I'm excited to be here. I didn't get to come here last year."
Driving for Penske at Indy, he feels right at home, especially when he will be introduced before the race on Sunday.
"One of the good things is when I get introduced here, they say, '2006 Indianapolis 500 winner,'" Hornish said. "There is no other track that really does that. So it's nice to have a little tag along with your name when you get introduced."

Get ready to hear Michael Jackson classics like you've never heard them before. Just in time to add to your party playlists this Halloween, superstars of the metal world have joined forces to transform the King of Pop's hits into headbangers on a new tribute album Thriller – A Metal Tribute To Michael Jackson.
The roster includes Danny Worsnop (Asking Alexandria), Chuck Billy (Testament), Elias Soriano (Nonpoint), Lajon Witherspoon (Sevendust), Phil Campbell (Motörhead), the not-especially metal Angelo Moore (Fishbone), Corey Glover (Living Colour) and many more, and brings a heavy hand to Jackson's hits.
"We made these awesome songs kick ass while still being faithful to the original versions," former Quiet Riot member Rudy Sarzo said in a press release. "Michael Jackson's music is synonymous with iconic rockers such as Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens and Slash," all of whom played solos on classic Michael tracks. "So it's only fitting that the rock community pays tribute to this legendary artist!"
With thrashing guitars, the thundering pulse of double bass drums and guttural growls of the most powerful vocalists in metal, the album finally gives metalheads all over the world a reason to headbang and raise the horns in the air to celebrate one of the biggest icons in popular music.
"I never thought I would hear myself doing a cover of 'The Way You Make Me Feel,' but it's an honor and a dream come true," said Fishbone's Angelo Moore. "We put a different twist on it to give it a whole new light, or maybe I should say a whole new dark!"
Thriller – A Metal Tribute To Michael Jackson is available now.
See the complete track listing for Thriller – A Metal Tribute To Michael Jackson below:
1. "Thriller" – Chuck Billy (Testament)
2. "Man In The Mirror" – Danny Worsnop (Asking Alexandria) & Billy Sheehan (Mr. Big)
3. "The Way You Make Me Feel" – Angelo Moore (Fishbone), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake), & Rudy Sarzo (Queensrÿche)

Though the Crew got the best of D.C. United to open the season with a 3-0 win at RFK Stadium on March 8, the Black & Gold know it will be a different United side that visits Columbus on Saturday (TICKETS). D.C. comes to Crew Stadium riding a three-match unbeaten run following back-to-back wins against the New York Red Bulls and New England Revolution.
United's recent success has given Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter more film to look at in preparation for the weekend.
"They're different [than Week One], they're playing well," Berhalter said of his opponent. "They've won their last two games. They've been getting results. It's a good team."
He continued: "It's a lot easier [to prepare], obviously, being able to watch their last five games. It's been a lot easier to get ahold of that."
Like Berhalter, his players are expecting a different-look D.C. side.
"When we played [in Week One] it was the first game for [D.C.] together, maybe not knowing each other or the system a little bit, but it's a completely different team," defender Josh Williams said. "That's what we're expecting. I'm sure they haven't forgotten the first game and I think they think they owe us something. We're going to come out here in front of our home fans and deliver for them bring home three points."
Added midfielder Tony Tchani: "It's going to be a different game. It was the first game of the season, they didn't know that we were going to push the game. They've seen our game now. They know we like to keep the ball. I think they'll be a little more compact and try to make us have a difficult day."
The Crew backline will be wary of striker Eddie Johnson, who has yet to score for United. The U.S. Men's National Team regular has scored in his last two trips to Crew Stadium for both club and country.
"He's big, physical, fast, good with the ball -- he's just a handful for the back four," Williams complimented Johnson. "We're going to really have to pay attention to him, even on set pieces. He burned us last year with Seattle. It's something we're aware of."
The Crew relishes a return home following last week's draw at San Jose. The Black & Gold will look to continue making Crew Stadium a fortress after a hiccup against Toronto FC two weeks ago, resulting in a 2-0 defeat.
"We addressed some of the things from the Toronto game that we weren't happy with and certainly, we want to come out with more energy and have a more dominant performance at home," Berhalter said. "One thing I was pleasantly surprised with was the Nordecke. Even after the Toronto game, they were going strong and giving us support. We really appreciate that as a staff and players to lose a game and not be happy with our own performance, but still be able to get cheered on by the fans, to me, it said a lot about them."
Added Williams: "I'm sure the Nordecke will be ready. It'll be big to help us come alive, help us push through and hopefully put on a good performance and make up for the Toronto game."

THE staff of one of Banbridge's oldest establishments, the Downshire Arms Hotel in Newry Street, gave one final, silent salute to their former boss on Friday as the funeral cortege of Mr Barry Heslip paused outside the building.
Mr Heslip (78), well known hotelier in the town for over 40 years, passed away last Tuesday in Craigavon Area Hospital following complications from illness.
The funeral took place privately from his home at Katesbridge Road, Ballyward, for a service in Loughbrickland Presbyterian Church which was filled to capacity with family members, friends, neighbours and customers of the hotel where Mr Heslip had been a friendly, familiar face since taking over the reins in 1971.
Members of the Downshire Arms Golfing Society acted as pallbearers at the funeral and the service included many moving and amusing anecdotes from those who knew him best.
Speaking to the Leader yesterday (Monday), Mr Heslip's son Nigel recalled a "quiet and shy" man whose love of carpentry was evident throughout the hotel due to his passion for personally restoring tables and chairs.
"My father loved fixing things - it was a real labour of love for him and even when he retired from the business in 1998, he would still pop in and see if anything needed done," said Nigel. "He could turn his hand to anything like that. He was very much 'hands-on' and he liked dropping in for a bit of craic with staff and customers, having a meal and generally keeping an eye on things."
Dedicated to the hotel he took over from his uncle, Mr Hugh Chambers, Mr Heslip quickly embraced the challenges of the hospitality industry and he and his wife Amy lived in the Downshire Arms for a while before seting up home in Closkelt 14 years ago.
The son of an army major father and doctor mother, Mr Heslip had worked in a management position at Down Shoes Factory after leaving education - he was among the first pupils to attend the new Banbridge Academy - but found his real vocation as a 'people person' at the helm of a busy hotel.
At the inaugural Banbridge Leader Business Awards in 2010, that dedication was rewarded when Mr Heslip was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award - which last year was won by his old Banbridge Academy fellow pupil, Mr Jim Bell, who had the sad duty of organising his friend's funeral.
Mr Heslip is survived by his wife Amy, sons Nigel and James; daughter-in-law Karen and grandsons Ethan (8) and Issac (7).
The service was taken by the Rev Patricia McBride, with readings from Nigel Heslip and his wife, Karen. Burial was in the adjoining church cemetery and donations in lieu of flowers are being sent to the Diabetic Association care of William Bell and Co., funeral directors, 23 Kenlis Street, Banbridge.

text: In football you have Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell as two of the greatest busts of all time in NFL history. Who would you vote for in tennis as the biggest bust of all time. Someone who was predicted to win many grand slams but flamed out in the pros. Anna Kournikova comes to my mind as she was a highly touted junior who did not win a single tournament, although was ranked as high as #8 in the world.

Gen. Petraeus to Leave Afghan Command
The Times of London is reporting that Gen. David Petraeus will leave his spot as the head of the U.S. Afghan Command at the end of the year, not that anyone blames him. Petraeus replaced Gen. Stanley McChrystal in the difficult, thankless job in July of 2010 after McChrystal was fired over a Rolling Stone article; a search is apparently already on for a replacement, who would theoretically be overseeing the withdrawal of American troops and thinking a lot about how great it will be when he can retire and maybe play a little golf.

I took these photos near Muchelney, Someset on Friday 23rd November. I drove past about a 1/2mile of spiders escaping the recent floods. I just thought I would share these images for people interested in spiders.
This was a great natural event to see.
Hi, this is Cate from BBC Winterwatch. We are looking for pictures of animals affected by flooding. Would you be happy for us to use it on one of our programmes please? Thanks
Hi Cate, I would be more than happy for you to use the photos. Sorry they are not the best quality as I took them with my mobile phone at about 4.30pm as the light was fading.
To put things into context my photos was taken near here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-20524682
Thanks for posting the photos. I don't think these are just any spiders. Most spiders are not gregarious, and even when they escape floods would rather scatter in the vegetation on those islands, not become suddenly colonial and building communal webs. What you photographed may be the brood of one female, with the spiderlings still together before dispersal. But these could also be - and this could be more interesting - a type of spider that is colonial. Ostearius melanopygius, in the same family as the common garden spiders (Araneae) has this habit of living together with other spiders and building large webs. Here is a page about the species in Britain, and here is another page with some photos.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Hi florin, thanks for your comments and links. The thing I found strange about this was that there was about half a mile of these web s and they all where along the edge of the flood waters. All webs where in bushes/trees. My camera could not pick up the web's in trees due to poor light/camera quality. I have driven this road for about 6 years and never seen anything like this. Either way it was a rather
Special event to witness.
From the nov 2 photo I'd guess that they're linyphiids (money spiders), which makes sense if they were spiders driven out of the lower vegetation of a grass verge, riverbank or whatever, as linyphiid spiders would be the most common. I think I can see the clubbed palps on some, indicating that they're adult males. I can see no evidence that they're Ostearius, though it's hard to tell.

Mossad Double
Agent Is Scriptwriter For Bin Laden Tape
Adam Pearlman, a hardcore Jewish Zionist who once wrote stinging essays condemning Muslims as "bloodthirsty terrorists," has been identified as the scriptwriter of the latest Osama Bin Laden video.
In a tape set to be released in full tomorrow, Bin Laden, sporting what many have surmised is a fake beard, goes on an inane rant about global warming, mortgages and interest rates as the latest volley of cartoonish propaganda is launched to convince Americans to give up their rights and tax dollars in the name of fighting the war on terror.
In our previous article, we outlined how almost every so-called "Al-Qaeda" tape has been released at the most politically opportune time for the Bush administration and the Neo-Cons.
(Article continues below)
We also emphasized the conclusions of out previous investigation concerning IntelCenter, the so-called "middleman" behind the As-Sahab terrorist media arm of Al-Qaeda and the public release of the tapes. In reality, all the evidence points to IntelCenter itself directly releasing the tapes in its role as a front for the military-industrial complex.
Now comes the revelation that the Bin Laden rant was in fact written by a probable Mossad agent who once condemned Muslims before his miraculous conversion to Islam.
Who is Adam Gadahn?
The FBI lists Gadahn's aliases as Abu Suhayb Al-Amriki, Abu Suhayb, Yihya Majadin Adams, Adam Pearlman, and Yayah.
Adam Pearlman is his real name and his grandfather is none other than the late Carl K. Pearlman; a prominent Jewish urologist in Orange County. Carl was also a member of the board of directors of the Anti-Defamation League, which was caught spying on Americans for Israel in 1993. Mike Rivero has the scoop at WhatReallyHappened.com.
Israel's Mossad intelligence agency was caught in 2002 creating a phony Al-Qaeda group to justify attacks on Palestinians.
Pearlman has a knack of releasing his tapes at the most politically opportune time for Bush, having first burst onto the scene shortly before the 2004 presidential election and then again right after Katrina when the President's approval rating was tanking fast.
Even more mainstream publications, like the Los Angeles City Beat, have dismissed Pearlman before as nothing more than "cartoonish propaganda."
Pearlman had a hippy upbringing, a brief but intense flirtation with death metal and before a sudden transformation, once referred to Muslims as "bloodthirsty, barbaric terrorists." Pearlman was a hardcore Jewish Zionist and wrote essays and screeds bashing the Muslim faith. He even got into fights at mosques and beat up Muslim worshippers.
Pearlman's personal history and the highly suspicious nature in which he suddenly professed his conversion to Islam in a single Internet posting and later appeared on the scene as a spokesman for "Al-Qaeda" are all the ingredients needed to draw the conclusion that Pearlman is working as a double agent and most likely for Mossad.
The fact that he has now been singled out as the scriptwriter behind the latest video nasty only lends more weight to the conclusion that this represents nothing more than a contrived Neo-Con hoax to reinforce the flagging official version of 9/11 and the legitimacy of the so-called war on terror.

Fire Official Sues the City of Phoenix over Penis Doodles and Vagina Pasta
This is a lawsuit over penis doodles and vagina pasta.
No, really. This is a lawsuit over penis doodles and a piece of vagina pasta. Not a whole buffet of vagina pasta, not an entire meal of vagina pasta, not even a bowl of vagina pasta. Just one lonely—but ultimately harassing—piece of vagina pasta.
Frank Cheatham was a veteran employee of the fire department. He'd been with the Arizona city since 1979, moving through the municipal ranks as fire engineer, fire captain, fire battalion chief, and fire battalion deputy chief shift. He liked being chief of fire-related matters enough that he had never been disciplined in over three years of service. But then one day he spotted a penis doodle and everything changed.
And not for the better.
According to a federal lawsuit filed March 29, the fateful penis-doodling day took place in November 2009, when Mr. Cheatham was working his fire work in Fire Station 1—probably sliding down one of those poles again and again or playing catch with the local dalmation, the complaint doesn't say—and he saw some very immature graffiti.
But it wasn't just any regular immature graffiti—nothing as childish as HI, POOPYHEAD or U STINK. It was something far worse.
Brace yourself, here the complaint gets very graphic:
In approximately November 2009, while acting in his official capacity as a "Deputy Chief Shift Commander" of "South Shift Command," Chief Cheatham saw several inappropriate, sexually suggestive drawings and items—specifically, two depictions of a penis and testicles—openly displayed in the workplace at Fire Station 1.
Two depictions of <===8!
Cheatham was unhappy with this, it seems, believing the pee-pee and the ball pictures created a sexually hostile work environment, which, to be fair, is a valid claim, especially for a city-run organization. So he rebuffed the Fire Station 1 supervisors and insisted this kind of behavior would not be tolerated in the future. (The "not" is even underlined like that in the complaint, so he must've been really forceful.)
The supervisors did not respond to this news well:
Soon after Chief Cheatham complained of the inappropriate sexual drawings and items, when he was exercising at a gym located at the Phoenix Fire Department, he saw a t-shirt bearing another drawing of a penis and testicles draped over a piece of gym equipment.
Odd, but possibly coincidental. Maybe a coworker dropped something on their way back from Spencer's Gifts.
Soon thereafter, Chief Cheatham received a large brown envelope in interoffice mail containing two small pieces of pasta, one of which resembled a penis and the other of which resembled a vagina.
The piece of pasta resembling a vagina had Chief Cheatham's first name ("Frank") written on it.
Let us repeat: "The piece of pasta resembling a vagina had Chief Cheatham's first name ("Frank") written on it."
Whoa, this just got really dark.
Who does that? I'll get him, you see, I'll run right down to the nasty treasures erotic goods shop, pick up two matching pieces of dink and va-jay-jay pasta, and then. . . . I'll write his name on the lady one? And then I'll put it in a large envelope? So he'll get the message that we're a-holes who think he's the p-word?
What the complaint alleges happened after that is pretty harsh: Cheatham was demoted from his position as deputy chief shift commander of south shift command and transferred to the department's "Safety Division," which kind of sounds like McNulty's patrol boat.
Cheatham is suing the city for violating his federal civil rights by creating a sexually hostile work environment. He demands a jury trial. We eagerly await the transcript.

looks like raptor ball to me
looks like raptor ball to me
Rudy needs to make up his mind when he gets in the paint. costing us the game with plays like that
Memphis announcers are unbelievable homers. Unabashedly biased.
gasol's hand on Gaye's hip entire drive certainly did not help matters
welcome to toronto Rudy
We should have just rode AA until he got cold again...
lowry is gonna cost us more games than he saves in the future.. not dependable.
That looks like ballgame...
Mike conley defending the inbounds while standing out of bounds... Don't think thats legal, either.
Amir Johnson? wtf is wrong with Dwane Casey?
not disappointed by the effort but I am disappointed in the coaches who just continue to throw them out there with no structure on offense
Scary thought - Memphis, with this defense, might not get out of the first round of the playoffs in the West...
Casey continues to prove that he has no frickin' clue what' he's doing.
What annoys me more is the fact that Tony Allen doesn't foul out in the first fucking quarter, because he's a "good defender".
gay has been a disappointment tonight
Rudy Gay with no confidence and swagger this game!
ok.. refs are also being ridiculous

Pirates break out early, hold off Marlins
MIAMI -- After a Friday night devoid of offense, Pittsburgh's bats came out to play on Saturday night. Five Pirates enjoyed multi-hit games in a 7-4 win against Miami at Marlins Park.

MIAMI -- After a Friday night devoid of offense, Pittsburgh's bats came out to play on Saturday night. Five Pirates enjoyed multi-hit games in a 7-4 win against Miami at Marlins Park.
After finishing 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position on Friday, Pittsburgh went for 6-for-17 in those scenarios in Saturday's victory.Full Game Coverage
"Hitting, in my opinion, is contagious," Neil Walker said. "It's one of those things where you see guys have good at-bats in front of you and are aggressive or seeing a lot of pitches, those type of things, they help on down the line."
The Bucs rocked Marlins starter Tom Koehler, hanging five runs and nine hits on the 27-year-old right-hander. The damage was done in the first and third innings.
Starling Marte led off the game with a broken-bat double down the left-field line, and Walker, who entered Saturday's game 2-for-his-last-22, promptly brought Marte home on another double down the left-field line.
"Putting their starter on the ropes, getting his pitch count up, that was big," Walker said. "The middle innings got a little hairy there, but we always feel like when we get a lead for this team and we're getting into the fifth, sixth and seventh inning, that we've got a pretty good chance of closing it down."
Marte and Walker paced the Pittsburgh offense from start to finish with a combined line of 5-for-10 with three doubles, four runs scored and two RBIs.
Two batters later, Garrett Jones provided some two-out magic with a bloop double to left field that plated Walker from third. Michael McKenry, who notched a career-high four hits, followed with a single to left, capping Pittsburgh's three-run first.
The Pirates also started quickly in the third with back-to-back singles from Walker and Andrew McCutchen. After Pedro Alvarez grounded into a forceout to put runners on the corners, Jones and McKenry again came through for Pittsburgh.
The duo notched back-to-back RBI hits to up the Bucs' run total to five.
Walker's strong night is a welcome sign for the Pirates, who hope the second baseman can return to his normal productive level of play now that he's healthy.
"We've seen him do it," Hurdle said. "He can get hot, and he can do a lot of different things. [Saturday] was a real good look at it. Obviously, his confidence I think will pick up from there as well."
Five runs were just enough for Charlie Morton, who gave up four runs (three earned) on nine hits in five innings. Morton walked none and fanned a season-high-tying six.
Although Morton earned the win, both Hurdle described the right-hander's pitches as "come and go," citing the inconsistency of Morton's sinker. Still, Hurdle was pleased with the 29-year-old's effort.
"He gave us everything he had to get through five, and we had the lead," Hurdle said. "So, from that point, him battling and getting through it was good to see."
"I don't think I had very good command," Morton said. "There were some pitches I'd love to have back in terms of command and execution, things like that. Stuff was average, but they picked me up."
The defense behind Morton proved hit-and-miss in Saturday night's contest, committing both key blunders and great plays. Two miscues in the bottom of the third helped Miami pull within one run of the lead.
Christian Yelich reached base with a one-out single and advanced to second when the ball skipped off McCutchen's glove in center. When Giancarlo Stanton followed with a double, Yelich scored easily from second.
Logan Morrison plated another run in the next at-bat with an RBI single to left and advanced to second on an errant throw home from Marte. After moving up to third on a Donovan Solano flyout, Morrison trotted home on a Placido Polanco single.
"We didn't help [Morton] defensively in the one inning," Hurdle said. "We could have done some better work with the ball and catching it and throwing it."
But McKenry, filling in for regular catcher Russell Martin, made a run-saving play in the fifth to preserve Pittsburgh's then-one-run lead.
With two outs and Morrison and Stanton on second and third, Morton fired an 0-2 two-seamer that went behind Polanco. McKenry reacted quickly and snagged the would-be wild pitch. Polanco struck out swinging two pitches later.
"That's the second time he's caught a ball thrown behind a hitter this year," Hurdle said. "I don't know how you do that. You don't practice it. That's the second time he's done it, and none bigger situation than that for him to glove it."
Said McKenry: "I take a lot of pride and not letting balls get by me. It's another way to keep somebody from getting a free 90 [feet], especially when they're at third base. ... I think it was a funny sequence, because I'm sure Polanco felt really uncomfortable after that. He ended striking out, so that was good."
Once Morton left the game, Pittsburgh added an insurance run in the seventh started by none other than Marte and Walker. Marte led off with a single up the middle and scored on Walker's second double of the night to put the Bucs up, 6-4.
The Pirates plated another run in the eighth when McCutchen legged out a two-out triple and scored on a single from Alvarez.
Said Walker: "Adding a couple of runs late really helped."
Miami threatened down by two in the seventh when Stanton walked and Morrison singled against Justin Wilson, who pitched 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief.
However, Bryan Morris came in and ended the threat, getting Solano to ground into a forceout.
Mark Melancon, filling in for injured All-Star closer Jason Grilli, shut down the Fish in the ninth for his fourth save.
"We turned it over to the bullpen, and they were very, very good," Hurdle said.

According to Al Rivera (lead designer on Star Trek Online), in an early script for Countdown, Worf, Riker and Picard all died and Earth itself was destroyed. I imagine this would have reflected a far more apocalyptic version of future events in Star Trek. Cryptic complained that this would ruin their plans for the Star Trek Online videogame, and the destruction was significantly scaled back. Before that the guy also talks about the Trek novels, speculating that CBS may not even read them or care what happens in them, because he can't believe the changes that have been allowed in their version of the Trekverse. It seems STO is kept on a tighter leash by TPTB. Thanks to brian577 for linking to this in the XI+ forum. I thought it might be of interest to people here, too.

Venus after her bath, Giovanni Bologna
Giovanni Bologna (1529-1608), generally known as Giambologna, has ever since his lifetime been regarded as one of the greatest sculptors of Renaissance Italy.
He was not however a native Italian and was in fact born in Douai in Flanders. Like many young Northern artists, he made a journey to Rome, around 1550, in order to study Classical and modern sculpture. On his return he visited Florence, to see the sculpture of the early Renaissance and Michelangelo. Having found a local patron through whom he was introduced to the Medici, he decided to settle in Florence, where he was to spend the rest of his life. Giambologna became one of the Medici's favourite court artists, celebrated not only for grand monumental sculptures such as Samson and the Philistine (V&A Museum) or the colossal Rape of the Sabines, but also for smaller figures in bronze. Giambologna ran a large and highly efficient workshop, which became specialized in the production of bronzes in large numbers and to very high technical and artistic standards. These bronzes were sought after throughout Europe and used by the Medici Grand Dukes as diplomatic gifts. Knowledge of Giambologna's work thus spread throughout Europe, even to England where, in 1612, Charles I's elder brother Prince Henry received a gift of 15 bronze figures after models by Giambologna.
Giambologna's work remained popular throughout succeeding centuries, with copies of his models being made not only in Florence but also in France, the Netherlands and Germany. His elegant polished figures were especially popular with collectors in Regency England, including the Third Marquess of Hertford, who acquired much of the superb collection of bronzes by and after Giambologna now in the Wallace Collection (but probably not this Venus).
While in Rome Giambologna went to visit his hero Michelangelo, presenting him with a wax model. The elderly Michelangelo is said to have crushed the painstakingly finished wax in his hand, creating out of the mess of wax an entirely new model with his fingers. Michelangelo then warned the young sculptor not to over-finish models but to use them as tools to work out all the elements of a composition. Giambologna never forgot this lesson and all his compositions were developed with the help of numerous wax and terracotta models.
This exquisite figure, showing the goddess Venus drying herself after bathing, may well be a cast in bronze of one of the small wax models Giambologna is said to have made in Florence between 1555 and 1561, before he had begun to receive major commissions. Although the pose and proportions of the figure have been carefully worked out, the surface has not been worked up to the high finish characteristic of Giambologna's completed bronzes – compare for example the figure of Mercury in this case. With her cool gaze, the exaggerated positions of her limbs and the serpentine movement of her body around a vertical axis, this figure illustrates to perfection Giambologna's elegant mannerist style, which not only revitalized contemporary Florentine sculpture but had long-lasting influence on sculpture throughout Europe.

RaboDirect PRO12
Roberts undecided on Blues future
ESPN Staff
September 23, 2012
Jamie Roberts will be a man in demand © Getty Images
Wales and Cardiff Blues centre Jamie Roberts admits that he is not sure where his future lies with his current deal up at the end of the season.
Roberts started his first match for the Blues in six months on Saturday and scored to help Cardiff to a 34-18 win over Treviso. He has endured an injury plagued couple of seasons but with British & Irish Lions caps to his name, he is still one of the most sought after players in Europe. He was linked with Toulouse earlier in the year but did not follow in the footsteps of James Hook and Gethin Jenkins in making the cross-Channel switch.
But with his Blues deal up at the end of the current campaign, Roberts is unsure where his future lies. "I haven't got a clue what I'm doing next year. I'm completely undecided," Roberts told the BBC. "I haven't got a clue if I'm staying yet or going. Obviously my contract's up and I will have finished my medical degree.
"There's a lot to be resolved and hopefully over the next couple of months we'll get that all sorted. It's quite an exciting place to be. It's the first time in my life where I won't have any commitment with any university work. It is a big crossroads, and who knows. I haven't got a clue."
The Blues are currently second in the RaboDirect PRO12 and Phil Davies will hope to keep many of his stellar names in the region. "It's important we keep all our best players and Jamie's no different," Davies said. "He's doing well for us at the moment. I've been in this game for a long time and we've got some great players here. We want to keep all of them obviously and hopefully Jamie will be no different in wanting to stay."

Rochester ranks No. 1 on the Housing Market Recovery Index
Rochester topped the list of markets with the strongest signs of recovery in the housing market, a national housing data index released Monday shows.
The Housing Market Recovery Index, released by RealtyTrac, said Rochester ranked so well due to below-average unemployment, underwater and distressed sales percentages, combined with above-average drops in foreclosure activity and increases in home prices.
In addition to Upstate New York, other areas showing strong recovery are in southwest Florida and the Bay Area of northern California, while markets in northern Maryland, southeast Pennsylvania and downstate Illinois are lagging the furthest behind in the recovery.
"The U.S. housing market has clearly shifted to recovery mode over the past 18 months, with home prices consistently rising and foreclosures falling closer to pre-housing bubble levels," said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac, in a statement. "Still symptoms of the distress that plagued the housing market over the past seven years continue to linger, particularly in the form of a high percentage of underwater borrowers and distressed sales.
"This lingering distress is creating an uneven pace of recovery across different local markets."
The index was calculated based on seven different factors relating to the health of the real estate market: unemployment rate, underwater loans percentage, foreclosure activity percent change from peak, distressed sales percent of total sales, institutional investors share of total sales, cash purchases share of total sales, and median home price percent change from bottom.
Those seven factors were indexed for each market with national averages as a baseline, and all seven indexes were averaged to calculate a total recovery index.
RealtyTrac ranked 100 major U.S. metros based on this total recovery index, but data is available for more than 900 metro areas nationwide. California-based RealtyTrac is operated by Renwood RealtyTrac LLC.

I find it quite intresting how obtio could see what Kahashi could see, given how they have the same physical eyes.
As we know the sharingan evolves into the rinnegan,
the rinnegan has the more op version u might say as you simply just need to transfer ur own chakra to see through that persion as oppose to actually transplanting ur eyes. The same thing how nagato used his pain bodies vision. Not to mention the rinnegan with the chakra can control ur body by force in the same way.
So is this obitio and kahashi sight thing a plot device to reveal madara's control over obito to revealed in future chapters?
Is this a sign that the sharingan evolves into the rinnegan?

1.0405 Filing written claim--Supporting documents.Cite as [A.S.C.A. § 1.0405 ]
(a) Any person claiming succession to a matai title shall file with the Territorial Registrar a written claim of succession to the title.
(b) A claim must be accompanied by a certificate from the chiefs of the village to which the claimed title is attached to the effect that the matai title is an old and traditional title of the Samoan people, and a petition signed by 25 blood members of the title claimed. The blood members must be at least 18 years of age and residents of American Samoa at the time the petition is filed. The petition must state that a family meeting was called and held for the purpose of selecting a successor to the title in question, according to the traditions of the family. In the event the family does not have a sufficient number of members qualified as herein required to support the claim, the claimant shall so state in a signed affidavit.
(c) The Territorial Registrar, if not satisfied with the validity of information offered in the petition, shall require proof of age, blood relation to the title in question, residence and the insufficiency of blood members if that is claimed.History: 1962, PL 7-38; 1968, PL 10-61; 1970, PL 11-117.
Case Notes.
Although RCAS 60104 requires 25 family members to sign petition supporting matai title claim, this is not mandatory if affidavit discloses family has less than 25 qualified members. RCAS 6.0104 In re Matai Title Fagairna, 4 ASR 83 (1973).
Applicant for matai title must show right to succession which implies that title name existed before claim was filed but has been vacated RCAS 6 0104 Mailo v Fuimaono, 4 ASR 757 (1967).
Requirements for matai title holder applies in every candidate for title—objectors as well as applicant RCAS 6.0104 Asuega v. Manuma, 4 ASR 616 (1965).
An applicant for matai-title registration is normally required to submit, among other things, a "certificate from the chiefs of the village to which the title is attached to the effect that the matai title is an old and traditional title of the Samoan people." A.S.C.A. § 1.0405(b). In re Matai Title Seva'aetasi, 19 A.S.R.2d 133 (1991).
Despite a written objection by the leading chiefs of the village, a matai title was ordered to be registered in the applicant name as an "old and traditional title of the Samoan people" when the Territorial Registrar's records pointed to recognition of the title's status in a village prior to its registration, and court cases affirmed the family's landholdings. A.S.C.A. § 1.0405(b). In re Matai Title Seva'aetasi, 19 A.S.R.2d 133 (1991).
Regarding the statutory exception for families having fewer than 25 adult, blood family-members, the term "family" is equated with the claimant's or counter-claimant's clan for purposes of testing the validity of matai-title petitions. A.S.C.A. § 1.0405, 1.0407. Registration of Matai Title "Le'aeno", 24 A.S.R.2d 117 (1993).
A matai title bestowed contrary to statute cannot be registered or otherwise recognized; and use of an unregistered matai title is a criminal act. A.S.C.A. §§ 1.0401-1.0414, Toilolo v. Poti, 23 A.S.R.2d 130 (1993).

New Jersey Town Doubles Recycling Rates in One Week with the RecycleBank Program
Cherry Hill - NJ, RecycleBank, a rewards program that motivates people to recycle, has become the 27th municipality in the US to deploy the RecycleBank program. After just one week of collection, the town has already seen homes in the pilot program more than double the amount of waste being recycled.
RecycleBank motivates households and communities to recycle by rewarding each household for the amount they've recycled. RecycleBank measures the amount of material recycled and then converts the amount into RecycleBank Points that can be used at hundreds of local and national RecycleBank Reward Partners.
Cherry Hill was looking for an innovative way to combat the increasing cost of landfill fees while raising the city's curbside recycling rates. RecycleBank's program presented Cherry Hill the opportunity to dramatically increase recycling rates by offering its citizens rewards for recycling. After just one week of participation, there has been a 134 percent increase in recycling rates, with the amount of recyclables more than doubling from about 12 pounds per household to nearly 26 pounds.
"The Township of Cherry Hill set a goal to become a more sustainable city by increasing recycling rates and lowering waste output," said Bernie Platt, mayor of Cherry Hill. "By collaborating with a partner like RecycleBank, we are able to bring this market-driven and proven recycling rewards program to Cherry Hill and are able to take a step forward in achieving our goals."
Cherry Hill residents can redeem their RecycleBank Points with national RecycleBank Reward Partners like Coca-Cola, IKEA, Starbucks, Dick's Sporting Goods and Whole Foods, as well as with local Cherry Hill retailers such as ACME, Norma's, Erlton Bike Shop and Pat's Pizza. Many local and national retailers recognize the value of partnering with an environmentally friendly and market-driven company like RecycleBank. The exposure reward partners gain to RecycleBank households helps to form customer loyalty and repeat business. Additionally, households recognize the value of shopping with retailers that believe in the importance of environmental initiatives.
"As RecycleBank continues to expand into larger municipalities like Cherry Hill, our vision to preserve the environment one home at a time becomes more and more of a reality," said Ron Gonen, CEO of RecycleBank. "Cherry Hill realizes the value that RecycleBank brings to communities by helping them achieve their environmental goals and save thousands of dollars on landfill fees."

Boardman, along with new Amtrak High Speed Rail Vice President Albrecht Engel, noted the new service would require about 420 route-miles of double-track right-of-way, most of it dedicated HSR right-of-way, particularly north of New York. About 32% of the new service—almost all of it south of New York—would run in close parallel to the existing NEC; 44% "will be brand new right-of-way"; and 15% would use existing infrastructure.
The New York-Boston alignment would take an "overland route" often proposed in the past, bypassing the current meandering ex-New Haven Railroad coastal route in favor of travel through interior Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. The alignment offers suggested station stops at White Plains Airport, N.Y.; Danbury, Waterbury, and Hartford, Conn.; and Woonsocket, R.I.
The overland route would allow an average speed of 148 mph between New York and Boston, with the 84-minute trip time besting current rail travel time by more than two hours, Amtrak said. An average speed of 137 mph would prevail for the 96-minute trip linking New York and Washington.
Noting that "connectivity" with other transportation modes "is critical," Boardman pointed to the numerous air/rail stations proposed for the route, which include Newark Liberty International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, and BWI Airport.
Gearing up for growth
Boardman stated that "A Vision for High-Speed Rail in the Northeast Corridor," which could become reality by 2040, would provide HSR ridership approaching "18 million passengers with room to accommodate up to 80 million annually as demand increases in the years and decades that follow." Amtrak estimates the service would generate an annual operating surplus of $900 million. Implementation would cost $4.7 billion each year for 25 years, or roughly $118 billion. Engel said the investment would generate 2.2 times that amount in economic development along the new route, including at or near new station sites in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Hartford.
Asked by Railway Age Editor William C. Vantuono if the new alignment would be accepted by cities excluded, such as Providence, R.I., Boardman replied, "We don't intend to stop any service to Providence." Instead, the entire Northeast would benefit from the overlay of true HSR, complementing current Acela service, conventional Amtrak service, and regional rail operations such as MBTA, New Jersey Transit, and MARC.
Asked whether the vision might be too ambitious, Boardman asserted, "We don't need a five-year vision to paint highways black; we need a 100-year vision of where we need to go."
Boardman officials also stressed that their vision went far beyond the Northeast.
"This is more than an NEC story; we have intentions beyond the NEC," he said. Boardman and Engel stressed that the envisioned HSR alignment, including station stops, "represents only one of a wide range of possible network and service configurations that could be developed." The vision has been endorsed by Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-N.J.) and Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), both longtime Amtrak supporters.
Last May, Amtrak released "The Northeast Corridor Infrastructure Master Plan," in cooperation with 11 Northeast states, Virginia, the District of Columbia, freight and regional passenger rail operating companies, and the Federal Railroad Administration, in order to identify and catalog the infrastructure needs of the existing NEC. The report included the NEC proper, as well as Amtrak-owned extensions from Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Pa., and from New Haven, Conn., to Springfield, Mass. Also included was a portion of Amtrak's Empire Corridor service between New York and Schenectady, N.Y.

- Terunobu Fujimori Flying Mud BoatOne of Japan's most eccentric architects, Terunobu Fujimori designs and builds houses that look like they belong in a fairy tale. His houses are often balanced on crooked legs, with weeds and flowers sprouting awkwardly out of their shingled roofs -- imaginative and playful structures that turn mainstream architecture on its ear. Avoiding the use of advanced technology, Fujimori creates ecologically sensitive and extremely energy-efficient buildings that utilize materials such as volcanic rock, earth and charred wood. His famous dream-like tea houses are suspended on rickety stilts and appear to be floating on air.1
