Posted on 08/27/2007 2:14:41 PM PDT by Shermy
Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) was arrested in June at a Minnesota airport by a plainclothes police officer investigating lewd conduct complaints in a mens public restroom, according to an arrest report obtained by Roll Call Monday afternoon.
Craigs arrest occurred just after noon on June 11 at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. On Aug. 8, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct in the Hennepin County District Court. He paid more than $500 in fines and fees, and a 10-day jail sentence was stayed. He also was given one year of probation with the court that began on Aug. 8.
A spokesman for Craig described the incident as a he said/he said misunderstanding, and said the office would release a fuller statement later Monday afternoon.
After he was arrested, Craig, who is married, was taken to the Airport Police Operations Center to be interviewed about the lewd conduct incident, according to the police report. At one point during the interview, Craig handed the plainclothes sergeant who arrested him a business card that identified him as a U.S. Senator and said, What do you think about that? the report states.
Craig was detained for approximately 45 minutes, interviewed, photographed, fingerprinted and released, and police prepared a formal complaint for interference with privacy and disorderly conduct.
According to the incident report, Sgt. Dave Karsnia was working as a plainclothes officer on June 11 investigating civilian complaints regarding sexual activity in the mens public restroom in which Craig was arrested.
Airport police previously had made numerous arrests in the mens restroom of the Northstar Crossing in the Lindbergh Terminal in connection with sexual activity.
Karsnia entered the bathroom at noon that day and about 13 minutes after taking a seat in a stall, he stated he could see an older white male with grey hair standing outside my stall.
The man, who lingered in front of the stall for two minutes, was later identified as Craig.
I could see Craig look through the crack in the door from his position. Craig would look down at his hands, fidget with his fingers, and then look through the crack into my stall again. Craig would repeat this cycle for about two minutes, the report states.
Craig then entered the stall next to Karsnias and placed his roller bag against the front of the stall door.
My experience has shown that individuals engaging in lewd conduct use their bags to block the view from the front of their stall, Karsnia stated in his report. From my seated position, I could observe the shoes and ankles of Craig seated to the left of me.
Craig was wearing dress pants with black dress shoes.
At 1216 hours, Craig tapped his right foot. I recognized this as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct. Craig tapped his toes several times and moves his foot closer to my foot. I moved my foot up and down slowly. While this was occurring, the male in the stall to my right was still present. I could hear several unknown persons in the restroom that appeared to use the restroom for its intended use. The presence of others did not seem to deter Craig as he moved his right foot so that it touched the side of my left foot which was within my stall area, the report states.
Craig then proceeded to swipe his hand under the stall divider several times, and Karsnia noted in his report that I could ... see Craig had a gold ring on his ring finger as his hand was on my side of the stall divider.
Karsnia then held his police identification down by the floor so that Craig could see it.
With my left hand near the floor, I pointed towards the exit. Craig responded, No! I again pointed towards the exit. Craig exited the stall with his roller bags without flushing the toilet. ... Craig said he would not go. I told Craig that he was under arrest, he had to go, and that I didnt want to make a scene. Craig then left the restroom.
In a recorded interview after his arrest, Craig either disagreed with me or didnt recall the events as they happened, the report states.
Craig stated that he has a wide stance when going to the bathroom and that his foot may have touched mine, the report states. Craig also told the arresting officer that he reached down with his right hand to pick up a piece of paper that was on the floor.
It should be noted that there was not a piece of paper on the bathroom floor, nor did Craig pick up a piece of paper, the arresting officer said in the report.
On Aug. 8, the day he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in the Minnesota court, Craig appeared via satellite at a ceremony that took place in Idaho in which former Idaho federal Judge Randy Smith was invested into his new position as a judge on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
In October 2006, Craigs office publicly denied allegations that he was a homosexual made on a gay activist Web site blogactive.com. Craigs office told the Spokane Spokesman-Review that the charge was completely ridiculous, saying that the allegations had no basis in fact.
Steven T. Dennis contributed to this report.
Well, it may not be main stream yet, but it was mentioned briefly by Brit Hume on Fox News tonight. He referenced the source as Roll Call.
It says on Wikipedia that his kids are all adopted, they are all his wifes kids.
To those "in the know"......
What kind of sex can one get in a crowded public restroom by reaching under a stall wall?
Those zany sodomites! haw haw - That sure is an example of normal activity... Why, they're just like heterosexuals, except for all the diseases, dozens of partners each year, and anonymous sex in public bathrooms. I don't see a reason for them not to marry.
I remember him from when he was YAF Chairman during the Goldwater campaign. At the same time Congressman Buz Lukens was the YR chairman. Great minds run in the same circles, hmm?!?
One thing is for sure: the LameStream Media will love exploiting this story.
I don't think that is the kind of hooker he would have been looking for.
It's always difficult to avoid unintentional double entendres when discussing these type of stories. :)
It could be a college ring or something like that worn on his right hand.
We need to all give 'em all pictures of a naked Ricky Martin and the overnight postage stamp test.
OMG!!! Where's his picture???
Gross. Can't these guys keep it behind closed doors? Why would this Senator take the risk?? I have long thought that the US Senate is the home of perverts...Lindsey Graham and now Larry Craig come to mind. And Hillary is a "carpet muncher".
Craig reportedly pleaded guilty to "disorderly conduct."
According to Roll Call:
Craigs arrest occurred just after noon on June 11 at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. On Aug. 8, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct in the Hennepin County District Court. He paid more than $500 in fines and fees, and a 10-day jail sentence was stayed. He also was given one year of probation with the court that began on Aug. 8.
Ya gotta wonder how much a guy gets paid to sit around in public bathrooms waiting, just waiting. Do these undercover guys groan every sooften or whistle while they are sitting there?
I'm fed up with the whole retaliation syndrome. But even moreso, I've had enough of both sides closing ranks and protecting each other's bad behavior.
Why can't we get anyone decent in public office? Is it because the salaries are only attractive to those who augment it with either illicit money or illicit "perks?"
Recently a local pol was arrested for the 'same thing'...at a public park bathroom...
The guy 'supposedly' had a good reputation, was married, had kids, blah blah blah...
..and now his picture is in the paper for soliciting another guy.
I don't want to think what kind of diseases Craig, this guy and others are bringing home to their wives....
This is beyond disgusting....it is vile!
It was just on one of the MSM evening news broadcasts a minute ago - and it was buckhead that broke rathergate.
Don't be too sure. At Craig's last election, a Democratic nobody got something like 35% of the vote.
I didn't vote for Craig. I've been annoyed with his support of illegal aliens for years.
Given the political atmosphere in Boise, this might be the most fun for the local papers since Brent Coles (ex-mayor of Boise) was charging personal expenses to city funds and got caught dining twice at a Florida restaurant known as a gay hangout.
Right now, with an evenly divided Senate and gerrymandering in the House, picking off an opponent or two is the only way to tilt the balance of power.
Yeah, the wife thing. That's a whole other dynamic. Some stay for the status and probably don't even sleep in the same house.

Here's the New Jennifer Lopez Music Video
What's worse than sitting through two hours of an American Idol results show? Sitting through two hours of an American Idol results show just to see Jennifer Lopez's new music video for the Pitbull-assisted "On the Floor." Here it is!
[There was a video here]
So, what's your opinion of the video? Personally, I think that JLo looks hot—duh—but it seems as though all she does the entire time is scream, "On the floor!" or say something about drinking alcohol. Then again, should we have expected anything different?

The best Thanksgiving ever? It certainly has the makings of the best for some time. Awaiting us this evening is battle of two brothers as Jim Harbaugh's 49ers take on John's Ravens – with both teams presenting themselves as legitimate contenders in their respective conferences; before that comes an intriguing collision between talented but inconsistent Dallas and a Miami team who have won three straight.
But first up, as tradition dictates, are the Detroit Lions. For once, that too is an appetising prospect. The long-running gag about Detroit's annual Thanksgiving involvement is that somebody has to play the turkey. Year-after-year the Lions would invite everybody to Ford Field only find out that it was they who would be taking a stuffing.
There is no guarantee that they will avoid such a fate this afternoon, but only because the opposition are the 10-0 Green Bay Packers. With Aaron Rodgers playing about as well as any quarterback in league history, it's a safe bet that at the very least one or two defensive backs will be getting roasted.
Yet no overstretched metaphor can disguise the fact that this Detroit team are also pretty good – sitting at 7-3 and boasting a defence that will not allow Rodgers an easy ride. Last year their pass rush hit the quarterback to hard and often that he wound up leaving the game with a concussion. With Green Bay missing left tackle Chad Clifton through injury, Ndamukong Suh, Cliff Avril, Kyle Vanden Bosch and co could yet be the ones to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast.
On that best-ever claim Of course, it's a bit silly to talk too much about the greatest ever Thanksgiving until the games have actually happened, but for the record, the combined win percentage of the six teams in action today equals the best-ever for a Thanksgiving, set in 1975 when the Bills and Lions (both 6-4) took on the Rams and Cardinals (both 8-2) respectively.
As for what the best ever Thanksgiving game to date might be, I'm not sure – though these two teams have certainly put on some classics, from Walter Stanley's late punt return to seal a 44-40 win for Green Bay in 1983 to the then winless Lions oh-so-nearly upsetting the play-off bound Pack in 2001. One thing I am sure about, though, is the dumbest-ever Thanksgiving play. Step forward Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Leon Lett, whose infamous lunge at what would have been a dead ball put the Miami Dolphins in position to steal a win in the snow in 2003.
A kindly message "Happy Thanksgiving, Paolo," tweets Erin Murphy. "Tell your bosses that eating well is part of your job today. They ought to hook you up w/a feast." They should, shouldn't they? Perhaps we should start a petition …
Things you can do ... To make this live blog a more enjoyable experience for all of us:
1) Email me with tales of your best/worst Thanksgiving memories – be they NFL-related or otherwise.
2) Tell me which NFL player - past or present - you would like to invite round for Thanksgiving dinner. And why.
2) Send turkey.
The pick The Packers are a four-point favourite for this game - actually pretty modest when you think how they've been playing. I think Detroit can win this game, but to do so they're going to need to both generate plenty of heat on Rodgers (as mentioned earlier, they have previous) and also get Kevin Smith going. The running back was out of football just a few weeks ago but last week he was the star of the comeback win over Carolina. They don't necessarily need three touchdowns out of him this week, but they do need him to keep the clock ticking over. No matter how well Detroit's defence play Rodgers, he is going to complete passes. The only sure way to slow him down is keep him off the field.
An aside OK, this has no relevance to the game, but I have a feeling I'm going to be seeing this iPhone ad a lot tonight, so I'm getting this off my chest early. When the bloke in the ad asks it how his day is looking it says 'Not bad, only two meetings?' But what does it say if he has 10? 'Shocker. Call in sick'?
Providing a public service "Following first NFL Thanksgiving game in many years thanks to your MBM!" tweets Dr Holly Masturzo. "Bonus: no cloying holiday adverts." I can't help but feel I let you down with my last post.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 15:00 1st quarter Away we go. Crosby's opening kick-off goes straight out the back of the endzone for a touchback. Detroit will start from the 20.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 13:40 1st quarter What was I saying about Smith? First three plays all wind up with the ball in his hands - twice via hand-offs and once through the air. Lions are moving on their opening drive - up to the 40 already.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 10:50 1st quarter Sorry for the delay, folks. We're off to an inauspicious start with my web browser crashing. A real mixed bag from Matthew Stafford anyway on that drive - picking out Tony Scheffler for a fresh set of downs on third and eight but also missing a couple of targets by a good couple of yards. Detroit eventually punt from just inside their own half, the ball going out on the 22.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 9:08 1st quarter Stop the presses - Green Bay offence in failing to score shocker! For the first time in six games the Packers fail to score on their opening drive, Rodgers's pass skipping off the fingers of Finley on third down from the Detroit 43. Meantime, Lou is first to tweet in with an NFL star she'd like to have for dinner. "Sonny Jurgensen. He'd keep everyone entertained and maybe our complaints about the #Redskins would reach Shanahan." Masthay's punt is fair caught by Logan at the 15.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 8:24 1st quarter Stafford is wearing a glove on his throwing hand tonight to protect his broken index finger, and though he isn't the first you have to wonder if it's at least partly to blame for the erratic throws. He's looking alright on these little swing passes to Smith out of the backfield though.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 5:39 1st quarter This is already exactly the sort of drive I think Detroit had been hoping for today. They're up to midfield after a burst from Smith off right tackle and a couple of short dump-offs from Stafford, but the more important point is that they've taken three and a half minutes off the drive already. My colleague John Ashdown, meanwhile, has just sent me instructions for how to deep-fry a turkey. I think he's trying to taunt me.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 4:00 1st quarter "Ted "Mad Stork" "Kick 'em in the head" Hendricks might be 'fun'," suggests James Horncastle as the NFL star he'd like to invite for dinner. "Turn it into an arm party." Detroit had moved into field goal range, but an illegal use of hands penalty Jeff Backus just took them back out.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 2:12 1st quarter Disappointing stuff for Detroit, who get back to the 30 as Stafford hits Morris over the middle, only to go back another 10 yards with a holding call on Pettigrew. On fourth and 15 from the 40 Graham punts and it goes out for a touchback.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 0:17 1st quarter Three and out. Three and flipping out. Two drives, nothing doing for the Packers so far. The crowd in Ford Field are having a whale of a time. Olly Dawes has some strong logic behind his choice of NFL guest for Thanksgiving: "Peyton Manning. Because he's the best QB ever."
End of first quarter: Packers 0 Lions 0 DJ Smith stuffs his namesake for no gain on the first play of the new series. A scoreless first quarter - whodathunkit?
Packers 0 Lions 0, 14:30 2nd quarter For a man whose bones are made out of glass and graham crackers, Matthew Stafford is surprisingly blase. Seeing nothing open on second and 10 from the Detroit 16, he tucks the ball away and sprints straight up the middle of the field for a 22-yard gain. He does, to be fair, slide before contact.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 12:30 2nd quarter Bad news for Detroit - safety Louis Delmas had already picked up a knock of some description at the end of the first quarter, but in even more troubling news, Kevin Smith is now sat up on the trainer's table having his knee looked at after pulling up after a well-executed reverse to Nate Burleson. Hard to overestimate his importance for the Lions right now - he'd started the game looking sharp too.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 12:18 2nd quarter On second and five at the Green Bay 43, Detroit take a time-out. Jonathan Boyle has my favourite logic yet in the NFL Thanksgiving guest department: "Darren Sproles, wouldn't take much to feed the little guy."
Packers 0 Lions 0, 10:54 2nd quarter The Lions have already held the ball for more than 15 minutes. That's seriously impressive. But they also just keep killing themselves with penalties - Maurice Morris costing his team 15 yards with a chop block on second down. Again they stall just inside the Green Bay half as a consequence. The punt is fair caught by Cobb at the 15.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 9:46 2nd quarter Tough break for Detroit, who look to have forced another three and out before a late pass interference flag comes in against Eric Wright. It looks harsh - the replays showing he bumped Jones at the line but well within what the rules should allow. "Yay! You're blogging; now I can cook my pies (mince and pumpkin) and read, too," tweets a reader going only by the handle maeve66. "Dinner: Brett Favre; he'd be Southern polite. Also, I think Clay Matthews is an odd, Viking, freak of nature, and what he just did looked like Dennis Rodman." The latter reference, in case you were wondering, was to a really rather impressive reach from Matthews to bat Stafford's pass away on the previous drive.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 8:46 2nd quarter Time-out on the field after what looks like yet another Lions injury, Chris Houston staying down after cutting down Jones for a short gain after a quick hit from Rodgers. Things that won't help when facing Aaron Rodgers: losing all your defensive backs.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 7:26 2nd quarter I'd say the officials are at risk of ruining Thanksgiving for everybody at this stage, but Ford Field certainly doesn't seem too disappointed at this latest penalty - which wiped out a 25-yard catch and run from Finley that would have taken Green Bay down to just outside the red zone. Instead they'll have third and 15 on their own 40. But then an illegal use of hands penalty on Vanden Bosch gives them a fresh set of downs. And now everyone can hate the officials together.
Packers 0 Lions 0, 5:53 2nd quarter Like Pavlov's dog we wait for the inevitable flag after Rodgers' deep ball for Jones falls incomplete on third down, but this time it doesn't come. Masthay gets too much on his punt, and it's out for a touchback. "How about Vince Lombardi, the father of so many modern coaching and motivational techniques," suggests Nick McLoughlin as the first of several guests he'd like for Thanksgiving. "Ryan Leaf for the sheer variety of his life? LT (the real and original one) for his 'colourful' stories? Or the obvious one Jamarcus Russell, although extra rations may be required."
Interception! Packers 0 Lions 0, 5:33 2nd quarter The viking himself, Clay Matthews, steals a pass intended for Pettigrew in the flats, after Pickett had tipped it up into the air, before marauding back seven yards in the other direction to the Detroit 13. Big, big turnover. Green Bay are in the red zone for the first time all game.
TOUCHDOWN! Packers 7 Lions 0, 4:51 2nd quarter It was always going to be a tall order for Detroit to keep Green Bay out on such a short field, and they do themselves no favours with another penalty, as McDonald is flagged for interference in the endzone. Kuhn is repelled for a two-yard loss as he attempts to take the ball in straight up the gut, but on second down Rodgers hits Jennings on a quick out for the score.
Packers 7 Lions 0, 3:21 2nd quarter "Has to be Joe Namath at the peak of his Jets powers," tweets Del McG on the subject of NFL players to have for dinner. "You know the chat around the table would be top notch!" Wait, you mean you wouldn't want a more recent version of Namath, with all his wit, wisdom and experience? Stafford is very lucky to avoid another interception on first down - as Tramon Williams juggles, then drops what had looked a sure pick - but then hits Megatron for a big gain up to near halfway.
Two minute warning: Packers 7 Lions 0 Detroit continue to drive, reaching the Green Bay 37 at the TV time-out as Morris picks up a nice gain off left tackle. They cannot afford to come away with no points again on this one.
Missed field goal! Packers 7 Lions 0, 1:02 2nd quarter Oh dear. Detroit continue to find new ways to hurt themselves here, Hanson hooking his kick wide of the left-hand upright after Calvin Johnson is unable to locate the ball on Stafford's first real shot at the endzone. You just cannot afford this many wasted opportunities to score points against a team like Green Bay.
Packers 7 Lions 0, 0:30 2nd quarter Another three and out for Green Bay, who have managed less than 90 yards on offence in this game. The Detroit D has been magnificent. There's a scuffle on the field following the punt, which ends with Green Bay's Pat Lee being ejected from the game.
End of second quarter: Packers 7 Lions 0 The Lions are booed off after running just two plays in the remaining 30 seconds. On Twitter, NFL Network's Rich Eisen offers a fairly neat synopsis of the game so far: "Four 1st half trips to GB territory=way to beat Packers. No points in those trips=not the way to beat Packers. #SimpleMath"
Another perspective on that first half "Delighted I put money on the Lions to win this," harrumphs Julian Fleming with maybe just the tiniest hint of sarcasm. "It's not like they're gonna choke or anything..." I think they already did - four times to be precise.
NFL star Thanksgiving invites (cont) "I'd invite ex-Giant Mike Cloud," writes Alan Donald. "Just so I could, somehow, fit in the line 'hey, you, get off of Mike Cloud".
Half-time show Nickleback are on hand to provide the half-time 'entertainment' at Ford Field, and boy are they excited in Detroit. The official introduction is met with a tiny smatter of cheers and a lot of boos.
One song That's all we get from Nickelback, not that anyone seems too upset. Perhaps they thought better of the encore after the mid-verse shout of 'Detroooooit' was met with stony silence. The worst bit is, you know that wasn't cheap to put on either.
Packers 7 Lions 0, 14:55 3rd quarter The second half begins with Randall Cobb returning the kick-off out to the 26. "In no way Nickelbacks biggets fan but that wasn't even one of their hits was it," notes Craig McDonnell. "Awful stuff." Meantime Rael James Mason points out that a petition to prevent Nickelback getting the gig drew 55,000 signatures.
Packers 7 Lions 0, 13:49 3rd quarter I believe that's the longest play of the day for Green Bay, as Rodgers winds up and launches one down the left sideline for Finley. He goes up to get it over Spievey, who then forces him out for a 26-yard gain.
Packers 7 Lions 0, 11:18 3rd quarter It took nearly four minutes, but here at last is the first penalty of the half, Finley flagged for a false start. But Green Bay are rolling now - Rodgers completing his first five passes of the half, the last one to Jennings who makes 19 before being shoved out of bounds at the seven.
Suh ejected! Packers 7 Lions 0, 9:16 3rd quarter My word, how stupid do you have to be? Detroit had managed to keep Green Bay out of the endzone, Rodgers throwing just out of Driver's reach on first and goal from the three, but after the play had finished Suh was still wrassling on the ground with a Packers lineman, and as he gets to his feet the defensive tackle aimed a clear stamp at his opponent. So he gets chucked and the Packers get a fresh set of downs on the one-yard line. Ladies and gentlemen, we have our Thanksgiving turkey.
Suh ejected! Packers 7 Lions 0, 9:12 3rd quarter It doesn't get better for Detroit. Rodgers throws incomplete on first down, but now Cliff Avril is down hurt. Injury time-out.
TOUCHDOWN! Packers 14 Lions 0, 9:06 3rd quarter On second down the hand-off is to Kuhn, who tucks in behind BJ Raji and just about about manages to push his way over the line. "Maybe Suh will now realise why he gets the dirty tag," writes Billy Kingman. "Because he's dirty."
Packers 14 Lions 0, 7:06 3rd quarter Once again, this Detroit drive has started well - Stafford completing underneath passes to Burleson and Morris as they move up to halfway. "I'd start with a trio of diverse notables to get the party started," writes an reader who appears to be called smkwi. "1) Ken Stabler - I said party and I meant P-A-R-T-E-E. 2) Barry Sanders - face it for awhile there why watch ANY game from Detroit if he wasn't playing and scooting around the field (insert pinballing youtube clips here). 3) Jim Brown - simply the best ever on the field and off the field to bring a bit of seriousness & sanity to the proceeding. Actually, it IS a holiday so let's have a lot more drinking: invite any entire Oakland team and let the good times roll. Just Party Baby!"
Interception! Packers 14 Lions 0, 5:36 3rd quarter A fifth Detroit trip into Green Bay territory ends with no points on the board, as Stafford's arrow over the middle for Pettigrew is snared by Francous at the Green Bay 34. Detroit should be right in this game, but instead they could be about to drop out of it altogether.
TOUCHDOWN! Packers 21 Lions 0, 5:25 3rd quarter Yup. On first down Rodgers runs the play-action, freezing the Detroit defence for just long enough to let James Jones get in behind the safeties on a post pattern. Rodgers launches the ball right to him over the middle, and Jones simply outsprints everybody to the endzone. This one might be over.
Interception! Packers 21 Lions 0, 4:51 3rd quarter A third pick of the day, though this time I don't think you can blame Stafford as much as Pettigrew, who had the ball in his hands, but simply didn't seem prepared to fight for it as Charles Woodson came over his left shoulder and wrenched it out. Green Bay have the ball on the 32 going in. Detroit's hole just gets deeper.
Packers 21 Lions 0, 2:30 3rd quarter Avril, back on the field after his injury, comes tearing around right and knocks the ball loose from Rodgers's hands, but Green Bay manage to fall on it. "Suh - it starts with the coach. If they see Schwarz fighting that's not much of an example," writes Paul Holland, who also has some thoughts on which NFL personalities he wouldn't want to invite for dinner. "I'll tell you who I wouldn't invite - Rex and Rob Ryan. There's no way I could afford to feed that pair!"
Field goal! Packers 24 Lions 0, 1:10 3rd quarter A turnover there might just have provided the lift Detroit needed, but instead Green Bay extend their lead that little bit further. The Lions have pulled off a few big comebacks this year, but this one would have to be of a whole different order.
End of third quarter: Packers 24 Lions 0 The Lions will begin the final quarter in Green Bay territory after Morris took a short pass from Stafford over the middle and turned it into a 15-yard gain. But what we've learned so far this game is that this doesn't mean a great deal.
Packers 24 Lions 0, 13:40 3rd quarter The guys on Fox are surprised to see the Lions still going to the huddle in-between plays here and so am I. They're moving the ball, though, Stafford winging it to Megatron for an 18-yard gain to the Green Bay 16.
TOUCHDOWN! Packers 24 Lions 8, 13:11 3rd quarter And a two-point conversion tacked on there too. On the very next play the Packers defence parts before Keiland Williams, who goes straight up the middle yet makes it all the way to the goalline before he is even touched. Stafford rifles the ball down by Titus Young's toes on the conversion attempt, but the rookie manages to scoop it up.
Packers 24 Lions 8, 12:18 3rd quarter And that's how you respond after giving up a touchdown. Rodgers drops a perfect pass over Berry and into the arms of Jennings to take Green Bay straight up to halfway.
Packers 24 Lions 8, 10:28 3rd quarter Detroit take their first time-out of the half with Green Bay facing third and four on the Lions' 47. It appears there was some confusion over the substitutions being made, and as much as Jim Schwartz will have wanted to preserve all of his time-outs in a game like this, he also couldn't afford to give up a cheap first down.
Packers 24 Lions 8, 9:36 3rd quarter The Lions make the stop, Durant sacking Rodgers as the quarterback steps up into the pocket looking like a man who's about to scramble. Masthay's punt is fair caught at the Detroit 16. "I'd invite Devin Hester to Thanksgiving dinner," writes Simon Knight. "On condition that he carries the food from the kitchen to the table. That way there would be no chance of spillage, or of it getting cold!"
Packers 24 Lions 8, 8:25 3rd quarter Well that was an anti-climax. The Lions go three and out, as Stafford is sacked on second down and then opts to dump the ball off to Morris on third and 13 rather than take a shot downfield. Cobb loses about a yard as he shuffles left and right looking for a return lane, before being tackled at the 34.
Packers 24 Lions 8, 6:18 3rd quarter Detroit really haven't been able to slow Green Bay nearly as well in this half as they did in the first. I believe Rodgers has in fact passed for more than twice as many yards in the last one and a half quarters as the team gained in total in the first two. A quick pass to Jones by the right sideline on third and five turns into a 24-yard gain. They're already close to field goal range.
Packers 24 Lions 8, 3:40 3rd quarter Ford Field is booing even harder now than it did when Nickelback came out. Green Bay are down to the 22 and guzzling time off the clock like a Hummer guzzles gas.
Field goal! Packers 27 Lions 8, 2:43 3rd quarter Detroit make the stop, Williams chopping down Saine short of the marker on third and seven, but by now it's an easy kick for Crosby. The real damage, in any case, is reflected by the game clock, not the scoreline.
Two minute warning: Packers 27 Lions 8 Just as they have all night, Detroit are moving the ball well on their own side of the field, and just as they have all night, they are doing so slowly and methodically. They'll resume from the 40 after the time-out.
Packers 27 Lions 8, 1:14 3rd quarter Detroit call a time-out at the 33. Don't think I haven't noticed that none of you sent me any turkey, by the way.
TOUCHDOWN! Packers 27 Lions 15, 0:11 3rd quarter Stafford reduces the arrears, winging it sidearm to Calvin Johnson from three yards out.
Final score: Packers 27 Lions 15 The game ends wih Rodgers taking a knee, and Green Bay have now started the season 11-0 for the first time in franchise history. Another step towards a perfect season, though strangely enough I actually think Detroit might have offered some encouragement to the Packers' future opponents despite never threatening to get back into this game once they had fallen behind. Through the first half they made that vaunted offence look distinctly manageable. Were it not for the absurd volume of penalties accrued at key points on offensive drives, things could have looked very different. In fact, were it not for Suh's idiotic stomp, it still might have been. As it is they drop to 7-4 and now face a real battle for a wildcard spot in the NFC.

CSEA is pointing to a Thursday email from state Canal Corporation Director Brian Stratton to employees as an admission that layoffs will bring about a "drastic reduction in operations along the canal system along with a corresponding drop in morale."
The union quotes from the email, which notes that the layoffs will "force the corporation to resort to a reduced operating schedule last employed in 1991."
Stratton wrote, "Even with this revised schedule, our resources will be strained, and our people challenged, like never before. I am aware of the state of morale, and the precarious state of our labor force."
An estimated 39 Canal Corp. employees are slated to be laid off.
More from CSEA's release:
Just over a month ago, Stratton said the layoffs would not affect operations or pose a threat to safety. However, CSEA, the union representing the canal workers, immediately rejected Stratton's claim because many of the cuts involved Canal Lock Operators, who perform the vital function of controlling dam movement and regulating water levels. CSEA has learned that due to the governor's cuts the Oswego Canal now has no lock operators.
"Unmanned locks are more than just an inconvenience to boaters or a hit to the wallets of communities along the Mohawk Valley that depend on the canals economically," said CSEA President Danny Donohue. "This could potentially cause a serious safety hazard, particularly at a time when major storms and flooding continue to pose a real threat."
The union leader predicted that the skeleton staff of remaining workers may wind up having to rove between locks to provide necessary coverage, racking up large amounts of overtime and offsetting anticipated cost savings.
CSEA has contended from the start that the layoffs were political retaliation against unionized workers because ongoing labor negotiations have not concluded, a charge bolstered by the fact that management employees and political appointees have been spared. Donohue said Stratton's email provided further evidence that the layoffs were politically motivated, rather than financially necessary.
"For many of our friends and colleagues, yesterday was a heartbreaking end to a career they enjoyed in a place they loved, and to jobs they truly excelled in performing," Stratton wrote. "Certainly, they had done nothing to deserve it."
"It's a sad commentary that Governor Cuomo cares more about making a political point than he does about the well being of these workers and their families, even at the expense of Thruway and Canal operations," Donohue said. "The evidence is beginning to pour in that the governor's vindictive action against innocent employees will have widespread consequences."
Update: Here's a copy of Stratton's email, provided by CSEA:
Today, we begin perhaps the most challenging chapter in the long, distinguished history of the Canal System we all cherish.
For many of our friends and colleagues, yesterday was a heartbreaking end to a career they enjoyed in a place they loved, and to jobs they truly excelled in performing. Certainly, they had done nothing to deserve it.
The loss of these friends and colleagues will necessitate significant changes for our organization, including a reduced operating schedule that was last employed in 1991. Even with this revised schedule, our resources will be strained, and our people challenged, like never before.
I am aware of the state of morale, and the precarious state of our labor force currently. But today is a new day, and I must ask you to do your level best to once again call on your employees to answer the call they have unfailingly answered before: do more with less, and get the job done.
We have the most exceptional employees in the State workforce. They are dedicated and impassioned. They are loyal and industrious. They love the Canal. I know they will rise to the occasion, but it is your leadership that will set the tone. I do not ask that anyone embrace – rather that you simply accept – the difficult new reality that we must operate under for the foreseeable future. I have faith that you will do so, and continue to do the extraordinary and exceptional job you do each and every day for the people of the State of New York.
Please know that my thoughts are with you, and with our friends and colleagues who have been most seriously impacted by these events. Please keep your heads up, and we'll get through this together.
My Best,
UpdatedX2: Here are statements issued Friday afternoon and evening. This is from Thruway spokesman Dan Weiller:
The Thruway Authority regularly hires part-time workers in a range of jobs and we are doing all that we can to support employees who were recently laid off from our organization. To that end, wherever possible and appropriate we will look to hire laid-off employees in part-time or other essential Thruway Authority and Canal Corporation positions.
And from Stratton:
"It is truly unfortunate that CSEA would use an expression of concern for colleagues to deflect from the real issue – the union's failure to support meaningful pay and benefit reforms that public employees in the Executive branch have already accepted. As independent reports have noted, Thruway system employees have for decades been the beneficiaries of bloated pay and benefits packages that far outstrip those of other public employees. If CSEA union leaders are looking for someone to blame they need only look in the mirror. Fortunately, the management reforms we have put in place will ensure that Canal operations will not be significantly affected by these moves. In fact, I am confident the public will see a Canal system that is better and safer than ever this season."

June 19, 1914
The county court has signed a contract with M.P. Henderson on the University of Wisconsin to act as county horticultural and agricultural expert co-operating with the state in the studying and combating of plant diseases, under direction of the Oregon Agricultural College.
Under the agreement, the county pays $2,000 and the state $2,000. The salary is $2,500, the remaining $1,500 being used to meet office and laboratory expenses, rent, etc. Under the O'Gara regime the yearly cost to the county was in excess of $6,000 a year.
Prof. Henderson will assume charge July 1, and will establish an office in Medford and also act as weather bureau observer.
The contract was signed by Messrs. Tou Velle and Leever, Mr. Smith being absent.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, June 19 — Miss Hazel Rader, of Medford, who was this week selected assistant instructor in the department of physical training for women, is, according to Dr. Bertha Stuart, head of that department, the best all-around woman athlete she has ever met in the west. Dr. Stuart hopes to make of Miss Rader a high class gymnasium director, and believes that she is qualified to make a name for herself in this work.
"There is going to be a great field for physical directors for women in this state," says Dr. Stuart. "In Oregon the average girl leaves off regular exercise about the age of 11 and does not take it up again until she enters the university at about 18, and then it is usually too late to regain her youthful energy and grace."
Dr. Stuart looks upon this situation as nothing short of dreadful.
"Plenty of high schools in Oregon have well equipped gymnasiums," she says, "but they might as well not have any as to follow their custom of having the gymnasium and the apparatus with no one to direct the work. Coming from an eastern university to the Pacific coast, one is immediately struck with the lack of control over their bodies on the part of the young women out here. This is not merely a source of unhappiness and ill health to them in later life, but the sickliness of women involves an economic waste to a great extent. Beyond all question, the time is coming when the schools will employ instructors who will look out for the physical side, and it is our duty to prepare to supply this demand."

At Baseball Reference, base runners scored is an outstanding way to discover who is coming through with men on base. Noted as BRS%, it's the percentage of runners scored, removing the times when a hitter drives himself home with a home run. It also gives credit for a batter driving home a run in an instance where an RBI isn't awarded, such as on a play where an error has been committed.
It's a useful stat because it can unearth the hidden gem of a player who is consistently coming through with runners on but who may not have had ample opportunities to rack up RBIs. Two months into the season, there are a pair of hitters who have caught my eye with exceptional performances with runners on base.
Martin Prado – 114 baserunners, 29 base runners scored, 25% BRS%
With 32 RBI through his first 55 games, Prado is almost halfway to matching his career best 66 RBI effort from last season. It helps that Prado is driving in a full quarter of all runners on base when he's at the plate. That sounds impressive (it is), but with the Braves batting Prado in the leadoff spot for most of the season – he's recently shifted to second in the batting order – he hasn't exactly had a wealth of opportunities. The average major leaguer with 252 plate appearances (Prado's total through Monday's games) comes to bat with 153 runners on base. Prado has stepped to the plate with only 114 runners on base.
While the Braves can be considered below average at reaching base as a team – their collective .311 OBP is nine points below the National League average of .320 – don't lay the blame on their number eight hitters. That's the spot Nate McLouth has occupied for the majority of Braves games, and he's reaching base at an impressive .443 clip when hitting eighth. Ditto for Freddie Freeman, the player used the second most often in the number eight spot, who owns a .405 OBP in that role. Indulge me for another moment as I tiptoe into even smaller samples, but the Braves third most frequent number eight hitter is David Ross. He's reached base in 10 of his 22 plate appearances while batting eighth.
The real culprit in hampering Prado's RBI opportunities has been Alex Gonzalez, who has spent the majority of the season batting seventh. Gonzalez has collected 132 plate appearances in this spot, yet can only muster a line of .258/.298/.403.
Still, it's interesting to note the three most common players Prado has brought home:
Gonzalez – 7
McLouth – 6
Freeman – 4
Gonzalez tops this list because he has, by far, collected the most plate appearances directly in front of Prado – at least while Prado was hitting leadoff. All this means is that Prado is collecting one RBI per 7.3 at bats. That's solid, and probably best described as workman-like. The average major league hitter picks up an RBI every 7.8 at bats. Let's just describe Prado as slightly above average. It's not too bad, given what he has to work with in front of him in the lineup (not to mention the pitcher's slot).
It's also worth noting that Prado is having a down year at the plate. His .267 TAv is the lowest of his career since he started accumulating serious playing time back in 2008. Still, his .151 ISO is right in line with his averages over the last couple of seasons and his strikeout rate is still well above league average at 12.1 percent. He'll recover from his slow start, and if he keeps bringing home the base runners, Prado will certainly help your club down the stretch. If he's on your team, you probably want to hang on to him and avoid selling low. If he's not on your team, now is an ideal buying opportunity.
Melky Cabrera – 129 baserunners, 30 base runners scored, 23% BRS%
Cabrera has spent most of his career batting in the bottom third of the lineup, so it's not a surprise that he's never been a big RBI guy, especially given his time in New York where the boppers in front of him got all the action. Still, the Melk-Man hasn't exactly been efficient with base runners throughout his career. Here are his percentages of base runners scored going back to his rookie season of 2006:
2006 – 13%
2007 – 17%
2008 – 10%
2009 – 15%
2010 – 12%
2011 – 23%
Wow. Cabrera is smoking with runners on base this year for the first time in his career.
The teammates he's responsible for scoring the most frequently are Chris Getz–who he's brought home nine times–and Alcides Escobar, who has scored on six of Cabrera's hits. This is some sort of bizarro fantasy baseball as those three represent the three lowest on-base percentages among Royals regulars. Escobar (.258 OBP), Getz (.324 OBP), and Cabrera himself (.312 OBP) frequently reside in the ninth, leadoff and second spot in the order respectively. Despite the subpar on-base percentages, Cabrera has been able to come to the plate with close to the league average number of runners for someone with 236 plate appearances. He has come to the dish with 129 runners on compared to the average of 143 runners.
It also helps that Cabrera takes a "grip it and rip it" approach to each and every plate appearance. With a career walk rate of 7.8 percent, he's rarely out there looking for a free pass. Of course, joining a team like the Royals who organizationally abhor the walk, Cabrera's base on balls rate has actually dropped this season to its current rate of 5.5 percent. (To be fair, as a team, the Royals are drawing a walk in 8.6 percent of all plate appearances, which is spot on the league average. That they're doing this with both Cabrera and Jeff Francoeur in the lineup on an everyday basis boggles the mind.) While Cabrera's lack of patience will cause many a sabermetrician fit, for our fantasy purposes, that has been a good thing… so far.
Cabrera's batted ball profile hasn't deviated from his career norm, but his HR/FB rate is at 10.4 percent–currently the best rate of his career. Plus, if the season were over today, it would be only the second time he's finished over 6.5 percent. PITCHf/x data shows that he's swinging at more pitches outside the strike zone than ever before, offering at almost 40 percent of all pitches that would be called balls by the 'perfect' umpire. His approach has been working in the small sample that has been the first two months of the season, but it's not likely to continue. While his current .277 TAv (compared to his career mark of .253.) looks good and his power and RBI numbers have been strong, given Cabrera's free swinging ways, it would be best to not get too attached. Cabrera's start has found him heavily rostered in fantasy leagues. But if he's still available in your league, resist the temptation. If he's already on your team, now would be an ideal time to see if you can find any takers. It's likely his value will never be higher.

Last week I started a post on how I am transforming my personal, real-money investment portfolio by selling larger cap names that don't seem to have any catalysts that will cause them to rise in the near future and looking to add more smaller cap names.

I know that I said that I would talk more about my recent real money moves, but I'm about to go out to dinner and am short on time, so I thought that I'd share these two interesting stocks tat I just found in Barron's instead. Both of them are great because they don't just have high yields or dividend growth because that's what the analysts are forecasting. They have real stories that should cause their shares to rise significantly over the next couple if years. I love "story" stocks that have catalysts. I just added them both to my CAPS portfolio.

CAPS is a really fun game, but I've never felt as though it was a completely accurate gague of how one's investments have done. When you eliminate shorting all of the pump and dump scams and leveraged ETFs and actually close positions when you would in real-life it comes close, but I wanted a more detailed analysis of my personal investment track record, so I went to my broker. Charles Schwab, was never one for fancy reports and portfolio analysis (at least not that I knew of). However, they seem to have made a number of changes for the better since the last time I checked out the available features.Today I found both a portfolio analysis tool that analyzes by investments by type and even better analyzes my returns versus various benchmarks. First for my portfolio weighting. As you will be able to see, while they have been amazing investments in their own right, the monster slug of corporate bonds that I picked up during the credit crisis (when yields were the most attractive relative to Treasuries that I have ever seen in my life) has acted as a huge headwind for my overall performance during the recent bull market. Does that bother me? It might have in the past, but not today. I love the stead stream of income that they provide me with that I can plow into new equity investments. Furthermore, I love the safety that they provide me and my family...and that's ultimately why I invest. I'm not some hedge fund manager who will lever up and place risky bets hoping to maximize the "20" part of "2 and 20" and then just say "Oh well" if things blow up and walk down the street to start another fund. This is my real savings for real people who I love. Anyhow, onto the portfolio breakdown:Asset Class: [more]

Rohan Dennis wins shortened stage 2 at Tour of the Alps
Rohan Dennis adds to previous Australian success at the race formerly known as Giro del Trentino with stage 2 win in Austrian Alps …
INNERVILLGRATEN, Austria — After a snowy start that ultimately shortened stage 2 at Tour of the Alps on Tuesday, Australian Rohan Dennis (BMC Racing) literally weathered the storm to claim his fourth win of the season dating back to his national time trial victory in January.
Dennis also continued a string of recent Aussie success started by retired BMC rider Cadel Evans and current teammate Richie Porte, both of whom won the race in 2014 and 2015 respectively when it was called Giro del Trentino.
"I saw today and thought it would be about 60 guys at the finish," explained Dennis after the race. "If I had the legs I'd have go and that's been my mentality this week. It's best for me to just look kilometre by kilometre and get the best possible results at that point of the race instead of thinking too far ahead.
"Just take opportunities when they come."
Without a time trial at this year's five-day event, the 26-year-old former 'hour record' holder said prior to the race that it was a "challenge" and a "test" of what he needed to be a general classification (GC) rider in the future. However, even with that admission, Dennis said the day was not without its share of learning opportunities.
"I wasted the team's energy way too much today," he said. "I stopped for pee breaks, asked for gloves the wrong times and I was wasting energy, or their energy, and to be able to get the stage win for them was great to get their confidence in me as well."
Italian Michele Scarponi (Astana), who was erroneously reported to have recorded his first win in six years by race commentators and media following his opening stage victory due to an apparent oversight on procyclingstats.com which has since been corrected, had indeed registered several wins in 2011, but in fact also won the Italian one-day race GP Costa Degli Etruschi in 2013.
However, the newly appointed Astana road captain and 2011 race winner surrendered the fuchsia leader's jersey to Frenchman Thibaut Pinot (FDJ), who finished second in front of Davide Ballerini (Androni Giocattoli) a day after taking third.
"It was surprise for me to end up in the leader jersey today, didn't expect it," said Pinot, who holds same time with second-place Scarponi and three seconds over Geraint Thomas (Team Sky). "It was a fast stage under cold conditions, but I like those conditions and it was not a problem for me. But I didn't expect to be in the jersey today."
Dennis currently sits in seventh place, 11 seconds down on GC and one-second back on 2012 race winner Domenico Pozzovivo (AG2R La Mondiale).
"I lost a little bit of time yesterday in the final, it wasn't completely a back line for me but technically I didn't probably ride it perfectly," admitted Dennis. "I lost time which is not great when it comes to any overall ambitions, but today helps my confidence."
The race crossed from Austria into Italy before culminating back across the Austrian border in Innervillgraten. Originally scheduled for 181.3km out of Innsbruck, the route was altered by race officials due to severe snowfall and reduced to 140.4km from Vipiteno — thus negating what could have been a treacherous Brenner Pass descent.
"We are very saddened by the loss of this start, also for its symbolical meaning, but we realise there was actually no other choice," said Josef Margreiter, Director of Tirol Werbung. "The rider's safety must come first, so we totally agree with the UCI decision to shorten the stage."

After the race eventually kicked off near the border, the peloton was quickly met with sunnier skies and warmer temperatures as it chased a four-rider break with a two-minute lead.
The early leaders Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe), Simone Velasco (Bardiani-CSF), Niccolò Salvietti (Sangemini-MG.Kvis) and Patrick Gamper (Tirol) averaged a blistering 50.2 km/h in the first hour of racing.
The breakaway dropped to an average speed of 43.8 km/h in the second hour of racing and their gap over the field narrowed. Ackermann rode on to take the sole intermediate sprint in Sillian with 44km remaining, followed by Gamper and Salvietti. However, the peloton closed the gap heading into the St Justina climb with 27.5km to go thanks in part to Gazprom-RusVelo's tenacious work on the front.
Four riders split from the group, including last year's race winner Mikel Landa (Team Sky), Ilia Koshevoy (Wilier Triestina), Stefano Pirazzi (Bardiani-CSF) and Alexander Foliforov (Gazprom-RusVelo). Damiano Caruso (BMC Racing) joined them before all were eventually absorbed by the final kilometre.
Wednesday's queen stage features two category 1 climbs over a mountainous 143.1km route from Villabassa to Funes as the race returns to Italy.

Riders met at Irene B. Thomas Park and warmed themselves with coffee and the promise of a cookout upon their return, and readied to ride to Jesup and back. The trip was expected to last about two hours.
The donation of money and unwrapped gifts the riders brought when they signed up will benefit adult patients at Georgia Regional Hospital in Savannah.
Ellen Jones and her husband, Gregory Head, brought their wheels to the event for the first time.
"I like to support whatever charity comes along, and I just like to ride," said Jones, who has been riding for about five years. "We like helping people."
Krystal Britton, public relations manager with the city of Hinesville, said the recipients are patients who don't necessarily have family close by or who come to visit them in the hospital.
Gifts such as new CDs, bedroom slippers and robes, snacks, art suppliers, games, puzzles and books will be delivered Dec. 9 when the Mayors' Motorcade travels to Savannah.
Kevin Zieran and his son, 5-year-old Joshua, were also first-time riders with Cycles for Charity. Joshua said what he likes best about riding motorcycles is that "they go fast."
Mayors' Motorcade was created by the Georgia Municipal Association in 1958 and dozens of cities hold their own to benefit mental health and mental retardation patients in Georgia hospitals. Gifts are provided to patients when they first arrive and for birthdays, as well as for Christmas.
Donations for the motorcade — new, unwrapped gifts and monetary donations — may be dropped off at city hall, the Hinesville Fire Department and Hinesville Police Department.
For more information, call Britton at 876-3564.

Ultimate Ninja Blazing is an Action Game, Download Ultimate Ninja Blazing Apk Mod from the direct download link on Twic.li.
Ultimate Ninja Blazing is an official video game of Naruto in which players can create their group of ninja warriors, with whom will face lots of enemies. These enemies also can be controlled both by artificial intelligence (in story mode) and by other players (in online duels). The combat system Ultimate Ninja Blazing is quite original and gets away from that we can see in the vast majority of titles in the genre. Players can move their characters around the stage, so that when their range is near an enemy attack. If the range also includes an ally, we can perform combo attacks. The story mode Ultimate Ninja Blazing is a real treat for fans of anime, as it follows the original plot of the series. Thus, players can visit or recruit Leaf Village as charismatic characters like Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Sakura Haruno or Itachi.
Between combat and combat players can customize your group of ninjas, which will have a maximum of six. As usual in this kind of games, we can go level up and improve all of our characters, using all kinds of objects and artifacts from the series. Ultimate Ninja Blazing is an excellent game, which offers a system first combat and fun, outstanding visuals and a brutal amount of content. A must for fans of manga or anime Naruto title.

Sherrod Brown was born and raised in Mansfield, Ohio. He attended local public schools. He played basketball and baseball in high school and, along with his brothers Bob and Charlie, became an avid Cleveland Indians fan. Active in scouting, he achieved the rank of Eagle Scout.
His father was a small-town doctor who made house calls and treated everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. His mother taught her sons to fight for what was right. Sherrod has never forgotten where he comes from.
Sherrod has earned a reputation as an independent voice for ordinary Ohioans and middle-class families, in the Senate and prior to that when he represented Ohio's 13th District in the U.S. House. He is a man of principle who has made a career of standing up to special interests in Washington.
In 2006, Ohio voters elected Sherrod to the United States Senate with one of the largest margins over an incumbent in U.S. history. Today he serves on committees key to Ohio's future: the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee; he serves as Ranking Member on the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee; the Finance Committee; and the Veterans' Affairs Committee.
Since his election, Sherrod has been working to stop the erosion of jobs in Ohio due to the wrong-headed trade and economic policies of the past.
While many in Washington have simply gone along with corporate-backed free trade deals that have devastated Ohio's manufacturing sector and sent good-paying American jobs overseas, Sherrod has been a tireless advocate for policies that help workers and their families.
Because he understands that representing people is more important than partisan politics, he has stood up to Presidents of both parties to fight against trade agreements that don't provide American workers and businesses with a level playing field.
In his first few years in the Senate, he has played a key role in rewriting our nation's farm and nutrition laws. He authored innovative new programs to encourage local food production and dampen wild swings in the market for farmers – and even saved taxpayers' money in the process. For his legislative efforts, the National Corn Growers Association gave him their prestigious "President's Award."
On the Banking Committee, Sherrod was an early proponent for addressing the crisis in our housing markets that began by devastating neighborhoods throughout Ohio and ended up causing a meltdown throughout the world's credit markets. He is now Ranking Member of the committee, fighting to ensure that efforts to rebuild the economy focus on Main Street as well as Wall Street and that the federal government gives as much attention to manufacturing as it does to finance.
Sherrod has been a leader on health care issues throughout his service in Congress. Americans should not live just one illness or pink slip away from bankruptcy because of out-of-control health care costs and insurance policy loopholes — they should have access to the same kind of health insurance that Members of Congress have.
Sherrod doesn't just talk the talk. As a matter of principle, he refused to accept the congressional health care plan until affordable health insurance was available to Ohioans. And he continues to fight insurance company and pharmaceutical company lobbyists in order to make healthcare more affordable for seniors, workers, and small businesses.
Prior to serving in Congress, Sherrod served two terms as Ohio's Secretary of State. In the early 1990s, he taught democracy and government in Poland as that nation was making the transition from Cold War communism to thriving democracy. He's also taught in Ohio's public schools and at the Ohio State University.
Sherrod currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio with his wife Connie Schultz, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and author. Sherrod and Connie have three daughters, a son, a daughter- and three sons-in-law, and five grandchildren.

Akinabalu Youth Hostel Kota Kinabalu Reviews
28 reviews
Basic & cheap accommodation Nov 11, 2012
Whoops, almost forgot to review this place. I stayed here as a stop over between Singapore and Borneo and this place is about 15-20 minutes from the airport which is pretty good. Literally the hostel appeared to be a convenience place for everybody either flying in or out of the country or as an opportunity to walk up Mount Kinabalu – and there isn't that much to do in the area, a day there is more than enough to explore the local surroundings.
It's not the cleanest hostel I've stayed in, but security is very good in relation to entering the hostel but there are no lockers in your room, the staff were really nice and the atmosphere was good making it easy to meet other travellers – and the free morning breakfast is pretty good. They also have free internet access but be warned, connection is pretty slow.
Although I stayed in a mixed dorm, all of the other residents were female and it was about MYR20 per night. Overall, not a bad experience.

Harver History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Anglo-Saxon name that was given to a person who was a person who ran a lodging house. This surname is a metonymic form of the surname Harberer, and is derived from the Old English word herebeorg, which means shelter or lodging.
Early Origins of the Harver family
Suffolk in the south east where they had been settled from very ancient times.
Early History of the Harver family
Another 189 words (14 lines of text) covering the years 1596, 1679, 1635, 1692, 1689 and 1690 are included under the topic Early Harver History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Harver Spelling Variations
spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Harver has been recorded under many different variations, including Arbour, Arbor, Harbord, Harbard, Hardboard, Harboard, Harber, Harbot and many more.
Early Notables of the Harver family (pre 1700)
Another 32 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Harver Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Harver family to the New World and Oceana
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Harver or a variant listed above:
Harver Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Harver Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
The Harver Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Equanimiter
Motto Translation: With equanimity.
