Norm MacDonald was born on October 17, 1959 in Quebec City, Quebec Canada. Early on MacDonald started doing stand-up in Ottawa, but it wasn't until 1987 that he caught his first break via an appearance at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal.
By 1993, he was casted onto Saturday Night Live, staying on for five seasons. He was a writer for SNL, and he also made numerous appearances on The Drew Carey Show and NewsRadio, as well as starring in "The Norm Show", which ran from 1999-2001. Though almost immediately he recognized that he got the most enjoyment out of stand-up comedy. To date, MacDonald has been in countless TV shows and movies, released 7 comedy specials, and currently hosts his own podcast, "Norm MacDonald Live", which has streamed on Amazon Video since 2013.
For this week's dissection, we are joined by our very first guest, Dick Williams. Williams is a veteran of stand-up comedy with 2 Emmy nominations under his belt, as well as appearances on the Howard Stern Show and Comedy Central. With the help of our guest, we examine Norm MacDonald's use of being overly literal to the point of absurdity. Taking sayings and situations for exactly what they are and examining them through an innocent/ ignorant lens. MacDonald disarms the audience with this onstage simpleton persona, only to catch them off guard with his unexpectedly witty punchlines.
Some of Norm's bits we analyzed are: It's Good To Be Alive (Me Doing Standup 2011), San Francisco (Me Doing Standup 2011), About Germany (Norm Macdonald Worries About Germany on Letterman).

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit – Refuses to Reinstate Travel Ban, Dealing Trump Another Legal Loss
From the New York Time — A three-judge federal appeals panel on Thursday unanimously refused to reinstate President Trump's targeted travel ban, delivering the latest and most stinging judicial rebuke to his effort to make good on a campaign promise and tighten the standards for entry into the United States.
The ruling was the first from an appeals court on the travel ban, and it was focused on the narrow question of whether it should be blocked while courts consider its lawfulness. The decision is likely to be quickly appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
That court remains short-handed and could deadlock. A 4-to-4 tie in the Supreme Court would leave the appeals court's ruling in place.
Trial judges around the country have blocked aspects of Mr. Trump's executive order, which suspended travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries and limited the nation's refugee program, but no other case has yet reached an appeals court.
The decision, from a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, reviewed a ruling issued last Friday by Judge James L. Robart, a federal judge in Seattle. Judge Robart blocked the key parts of Mr. Trump's executive order, allowing immigrants and travelers who had been barred entry to come into the United States.
Judge Robart's ruling inspired a harsh attack from Mr. Trump, who accused the judge of endangering national security. After the appeals court heard arguments on Tuesday, Mr. Trump issued a pre-emptive critique on Twitter.
"If the U.S. does not win this case as it so obviously should, we can never have the security and safety to which we are entitled," he wrote. "Politics!"
The judges on the Ninth Circuit panel were Judge Michelle T. Friedland, appointed […]

Wedding with Zuzana and Martin in Spindleruv Mlyn
An international wedding of Zuzana and Martin took place at Krkonose, a mountain range located in the north of the Czech Republic. They chose the place because of its beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere. Would you like to peek into their wedding day?
This wedding meant a lot of travelling for all the people. Zuzana and Martin both live and work in Dubai, and their families stay partially in the Czech Republic and in Ireland. The language barrier was almost unnoticeable and both families nicely bonded together. I was so surprised how calm and relaxed the whole day was. Everybody really enjoyed every moment of the wedding and all the guests, including the bride and groom, had a lot of fun and laughter. Despite the fact that the temperatures dropped down by almost 20 degrees over night, the atmosphere stayed very warm and welcoming. And at this point I want to highlight the bravery of Zuzana who managed to smile throughout the whole portrait session even though it was freezing out there with a strong wind. Zuzana and Martin, it was an honour meeting you.
Location: Spindleruv Mlyn (Czech Republic)
Venue: Hotel Erlebachova bouda
Hairstyling: Michaela Markova
Bridal hat: Jolana Kotabova
Flowers and bouquet: Zuzana Tetalova
Cake: Veronika Machova

Looking at the wide array of taps at bars these days, we seem to be in a golden age of beer. The world is awash in ales, lagers and porters, many made by small breweries, which are gaining an ever bigger share of the market.
Brooklyn Brewery, a pioneer in the craft beer renaissance along with Boston Beer Company and Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., is doing such brisk business that it plans to build a second brewery on Staten Island in 2017. Small companies like Brooklyn sold 11 percent of the beer Americans bought last year, up from just 2.8 percent in 2004, according to the Brewers Association, a trade group.
But even success with consumers isn't enough. Small brewers have good reason to fear that mergers among the industry's giants will make it harder for them to sell their products if those companies also come to control big beer distributors around the country.
When Brooklyn Brewery began selling its lager in 1988, few people took it seriously. Steve Hindy, one of the founders, said some people even sneered that it made no sense to name a beer after a place as gritty as Brooklyn.
"We distributed our own beer for 15 years because none of the big distributors cared about us," he said recently. Brooklyn and other craft labels caught on as more Americans began experimenting with imported beers from Europe. The growth was helped along by the local and artisanal food movements. And the growing cachet of Brooklyn, the place, has helped with marketing, too; international sales of the company's beers have boomed, growing about 25 percent a year.
Yet while Brooklyn lager can be found in Stockholm, it can't be found in many states, like California. That's partly because beer distribution is mostly through wholesalers, some of whom have been acquired by giant beer corporations like Anheuser-Busch InBev. Reuters reported this month that the Department of Justice and regulators in California were investigating whether InBev, which makes Budweiser and Bud Light, was buying up beer wholesalers to curb sales of craft beers in bars and grocery stores.
"When a big brewery buys an independently-owned distributor they would evaluate each one of those brands and not keep all of them," said Tom McCormick, executive director of the California Craft Brewers Association and a former beer distributor. "The bulk of their attention would be on their in-house brands."
That fear has been heightened by the announcement earlier this month that InBev, the world's largest beer company, has proposed buying SABMiller, the second-biggest company, for $104 billion. InBev produces about 45 percent of all the beer sold in the United States while Miller Coors, a joint venture between SABMiller and Molson Coors, sells 26 percent, according to Beer Marketer's Insight.
The merged company might be able to get around antitrust concerns if it sells SABMiller's stake in Miller Coors. In 2013, when InBev was buying Grupo Modelo, the Mexican company that makes Corona, the Justice Department forced the companies to sell Modelo's American operations.
But such a sale would not resolve the distribution problem, which tends to hurt the smallest brewers the most. Mr. Hindy said Brooklyn doesn't sell beer in California and other Western states partly because it does not have strong relationships with supermarket chains like Safeway. High shipping costs are also a barrier. The other big problem is the lack of independent distribution. Wholesalers owned by InBev, he said, are not interested in marketing beers from competing companies.
InBev said small beer companies have plenty of distribution options. "There are more than 3,300 independent beer wholesalers across the country, each free to contract with any other brewer," the company said in a statement. But in many cities big wholesalers, often with ties to the giant producers, tend to call the shots because they have access to the most bars and retail stores.
Even as the big players merge, they may not be able to run ahead of consumer tastes. In the last 10 years many Americans have cut back on beer in favor of wine and liquor. And though InBev is very profitable, its beers have been losing market share as more people buy imported and craft beer. Mr. Hindy said that's because smaller brewers are just more single-minded about taste. "We make beer," he said. "They make money."

TOUR DIARY: Meet The Beatles
After a snowy London morning spent wandering around the the British Museum, we hit the road to drive roughly four hours back north the way we'd just come from. Ricky had the night off, but I'd been invited to come to Leeds to open up for Ian Felice (of The Felice Brothers). The promoter later told me that when she reached out to my agent about getting me on the bill, she didn't think there was any way I'd actually be willing to turn around and drive all that way on my day off, but I'd always rather be playing than not, and Ian is a supremely talented writer who I've looked up to since the first time I saw him opening for Bright Eyes at Radio City Music Hall while I was in college, so as far as I was concerned, it was a no brainer. The show was at a great venue called The Brudenell Social Club, and the audience was just perfect. After the gig was the first and only time I forgot where I was and started driving down the right side of the road. The promoter was in the car with me (we were on our way to get some late night kebabs), and I think I gave her a bit of a fright. Sorry Tre!
On the way to Liverpool the next day, I took Jane to Haworth, which is home to the Brontë Parsonage Museum. It was a bit out of the way, but I know what a Brontë fan she is, so I bought us tickets as part of an early Christmas present. (When I told Ricky's manager, Tom, where we were going, he asked if it was an attempt to cure someone's insomnia.) It turned out to be a pretty memorable side trip, though. Haworth is an impossibly picturesque little village with gorgeous old buildings and graveyards and little shops and restaurants lining the steep and narrow streets. At the Brontë's home, you can see the table where the sisters all wrote together, and it's a pretty staggering moment to realize you're looking at a hunk of wood on which 'Wuthering Heights' and 'Jane Eyre' were both written by hand.
The Liverpool gig was back at the Capstone Theatre, where we'd played a few weeks earlier. It's unusual to have two non-consecutive gigs at the same venue, but it seems that Liverpool has always been a Deacon Blue stronghold, and demand necessitated finding a way to get back. The crowd was even rowdier this time, with some fans who had particularly enjoyed themselves (and a few drinks) deciding to serenade Ricky with Deacon Blue hits at the march table. "Just like a Liverpudlian to show you up," Ricky said. That night, I took Jane to stay at the Sefton Park Hotel, which I'd discovered on my first trip into town. It's a great little hotel just outside the city that was once the home of Stuart Sutcliffe, the original bassist for a little Liverpool band called The Beatles. Stuart left the band after their second trip to Hamburg and tragically died young, but his girlfriend was a photographer, and the hallways of the hotel are lined with amazing shots of the young Beatles. It was the perfect segue into our cultural activity the next morning: a stroll through the Beatles museum down at the docks. We timed our visit so we could meet up with my pal Son Little there. (If you don't know his music, I'd recommend starting with a song called "The River," which is how I first heard him and became a fan.) His tour was arriving just as we were leaving, but there was enough overlap that we could catch up for a few and enjoy some of the memorabilia. Each room of the museum is set up to represent a different moment in the band's story (The Cavern Club, Abbey Road, the first flight to America, the yellow submarine, etc.)
Our show that night was in Buxton, which required a drive through fog so dense you could barely see your own hand in front of your face. The gig was great, and the theater was probably the best sounding room (from onstage anyway) that I played in on the whole run. Afterwards, we went for beers with Ricky and his two-man crew (manager Tom and soundman Steph) at The Old Hall, which is reported to be the oldest hotel in all of England (it dates back to the 1500s). Mary Queen of Scots used to stay there when she came to Buxton for the healing properties of its thermal springs. Jane and I stayed a short walk up he hill at the grand Palace Hotel, which was quite a sight to see all beautifully lit up for Christmas.

Why Putting Yourself First is Not Selfish/
Imagine that you are walking along the beach and hear a scream for help. Looking out to the ocean you manage to spot a small hand reaching up from the water about fifty meters out. It's a small child. She is struggling against the current and fighting to stay afloat, but she is slowly losing the battle. Soon she will disappear under the waves for the last time. It's clear that without your help, she will drown.
So what would you do?
Would you bravely swim out and attempt to save her? Or just watch from the beach, too much of a coward to act?
Before you answer, realise that I have set you up. In framing the question with such diametric options of 'bravery' or 'cowardice' I have forced your hand. There must be another way.
In reality there are an unknown number of variables that should impact your decision-making in this regard.
How competent a swimmer are you? What is your current mental and physical state? Do you know the young girl? How many family members do you have that are directly reliant upon you for survival? Do you think that you could realistically save her? Even if you could, is it your moral duty to risk yourself for her sake? Whose life is worth more, and is it possible to even work that out?
There is no right answer here, you could argue for either course of action with equal vigour.
The problem is that society expects self-sacrifice in the service of others, particularly for close friends and especially for family. When it comes to friends or family members who are sick (physically or mentally), it is automatically presumed that we 'should' and 'must' help them as much as possible. It seems noble and heroic to sacrifice one's self in the service of others. Society seems to value and idolise those of us who give everything in the support of others.
"You are doing God's work", 'You are a Saint', 'If more people were like you…'
I don't agree with this line of reasoning. I don't think that anybody (unless it is a requirement of the line of work that they have freely chosen to perform) should completely sacrifice themselves when helping others.
People should look after themselves first. Now this is not a selfish idea either mind you, I believe that it is to the benefit of society as a whole, as well as in the best interests of the individual that would be the recipient of the sacrifice. Because if you don't look after yourself, and you fall, how will that person get the help they need?
People that are unwell often complain that nobody understands their plight, and that people can't empathise with them. They draw an analogy to being stuck at the bottom of a well, and want you to help them by 'getting into the hole with them', because by getting down to their level you will understand.
Now please don't get me wrong, if you are able to safely put yourself into that place mentally, then perhaps this kind of support is suited to you. Psychologists, councilors and other expert's primary role is just this, to empathise with their patients by seeing the world through their eyes, and offering strategies and advice.
But unfortunately a lot of us don't have that ability, we can't just switch those thoughts on or off with ease. Most people are like sponges, absorbing the moods of those around them, so if you purposefully attempt to empathise, you are now inviting those same moods onto you.
This is the dangerous part, now you are both stuck in the hole. Yes, you are together, but now you are both suffering. If you are both down the hole, who can help you out? Perhaps you could climb out together, but if it were that simple, the person would have done so already.
You could try any number of the following types of support, or none of them. It is entirely dependent on what you can safely provide on an ongoing basis. Because please be aware, help is rarely a once off event, people will keep needing it. Which is fine, provided that you are prepared to keep giving it.
- Invite them to a social gathering
- Lend them a book
- Give them a hug
- Refer them to an expert in the field
- Listen to their problems
- Cook, clean or do house chores for them
- Offer to pay for an expert assessment
- Talk with them
- Liaise with support agencies on their behalf
Like I said previously, not everyone is capable of providing every type of support. We do what we can, with what we have. You need to know yourself, your abilities and your limits. How you can best help will be dependent on you as a person as well as the resources you have available.
Returning to the analogy, perhaps a better option would be to offer a hand out of the well. Send the rope of friendship down or a ladder of advice. Just don't go down yourself. Let the person know that you are there for them, but that you have a limit. You must look after yourself in order to be able to help them. Because if you fall, you can no longer carry them.
Only you know your limits and how far you are willing to go in helping somebody. Obviously the extent of yourself that you sacrifice will be dependent on a number of factors, and I can't help you determine those. Only you can tell what your line is, and if it is being crossed.
The key point is this, if you don't look after yourself first you may end up drowning along with the person you were trying to save.
Seek the advice and help of experts, charities and government run organisations that could help point you to the information and services that are best suited for you. Reach out to other people for support, there are communities of people in a similar situation, who, like you, are in the process of working it out.
The views expressed are the author's alone and should not replace the advice of an expert.

A French police officer is facing preliminary charges relating to the disappearance of 116lb (52.6kg) of cocaine from Paris police headquarters' evidence room.
Prosecutor's office spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre said the unidentified anti-narcotics officer faces charges including transport, possession and sale of narcotics and covering up a drug ring.
The cocaine has not been found. It had been held in a locked room at the Paris police headquarters, close to Notre Dame Cathedral, and was reported missing on July 31.
The suspect has denied the charges, according to French press reports. They said the cocaine has an estimated street value of 2 million euros (£1.6 million).

Hello all, Aaron the WebGuy here with something a little bit different for you. The Red Pen and I got together and decided to transport certain characters from the Haunted Series into the Sims 4 video game. This was just was for fun and was not meant to reveal any future plots.
If you're not familiar with Sims or Sims 4, it is a game where you get to make and control "people" of your own design. You can build and furnish houses and live vicariously through your characters. We chose to put the PEEPs characters in and experience them in this simulated world.
IMPORTANT! If you would want to see future episodes of Sims 4 PEEPs, let us know, pronto. If you're interested in our Sims characters, leave a comment or email the Webguy at email@example.com. We designed the PEEPs characters; they do not come standard in Sims 4.
What do you think of the Red Pen's design of the characters? Let us know by posting comment below. Or create your own. If you don't have Sims 4 here's a link.
Thank you for tuning in. I'm headed back to mess with Murphy and his amazing... You'll see.

A trip to Zurich
My friends Laura & Nora and I spent a few days in Zurich. We documented our trip together while enjoying this beautiful city.
I've always been in love with Switzerland, especially Zurich. The city is full of nice buildings and charming streets. You always find new spots and cozy corners. My friends Laura & Nora have never been to Zurich before. Since my last visit it's been three years - so we were looking forward to find nice local shops such as chocolatiers, coffee shops and food markets. We visited so many nice places!
The first thing we did on the first day was taking a walk and enjoying the view over the city. What I love the most about Zurich is that you can see the water from almost everywhere. In summer all people are sitting at the riverside and jump into the water anytime they want.
It's great to walk along the lake Zurich and enjoy ice cream at Gelati am See. Such a cute little ice cream truck. The whole city was covered with nice smells, it really felt like spring and although I already knew the city it was totally different to me. I love to explore a place multiple times, you are always discovering new spots. As I already mentioned what I really love are the streets of Zurich. It gives you a warm feeling when you see small streets and their own little local shops everywhere. Such as a cute little organic store with all fresh vegetables. We bought everything for our picnic there. I am also a huge coffee lover, so we tried a few coffee shops like Juicery 21 not only to drink coffee but juices and smoothies as well. It's nice to have many different options. The taste of Swiss chocolates is unique! We went to two really sweet chocolate makers called Chocolat Dieter Meier & Max Chocolatier and it tasted so good.
We decided to have our picnic at Lindenhof, it's a good place to sit and enjoy the great view over the city. If you are interested in knowing more about Food Zurich and their program - there is going to be a nice food festival all over the city starting on the 24th of May. You can find more info on their website or of Visit Zurich's.

We have a new website
go to gov.scot
Register to receive email news alerts, daily digest, weekly roundup or Topic newsletters.
Scotland's seas shape our nation. We are committed to protecting and managing this precious resource, to meet the needs of nature and people, now and into the future.
Through the Marine (Scotland) Act 2010 we have ensured a more integrated approach to planning for our seas. Marine plans will set out policies for sustainable development of the seas - protecting the environment and promoting economic growth, while also taking social and cultural considerations into account.
The publication of this Atlas is a key step in developing our first national marine plan, for all Scottish waters out to 200 nautical miles. For the first time, the Atlas maps and brings together a wide range of data on the marine environment and the activities that take place in our seas. This represents a unique evidence base to help develop future objectives and inform marine planning and management. This evidence base is an invaluable resource in its own right - and one which we must continue to develop and make as accessible as possible.
The Atlas highlights the breathtaking richness of our seas - from rare species of plants and animals to the income generated by marine industries as diverse as aquaculture and tourism. It draws on well established marine science and monitoring programmes, economic data and a wide range of other sources, demonstrating how they can be interpreted spatially.
The Atlas provides an up-to-date assessment of the current state of Scotland's seas, which will inform the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. I hope the Atlas also serves to educate and inform a broad audience, both within Scotland and further afield, as to the beauty and value of our seas.

Day Nine - Sevilla
A pestilence of patience and a flower
Wrought in gold
Told the story of his father's wealth
In faith, where lies a power.
Some would claim a moorish beast,
The fountains up and out
To-ward a singularity Judas
sought in peace.
The money comes from devil's tongues though
He cannot complain -
The devils, hung and burned they were,
Beneath the ancient bough
That felt the succinct suffering of
The sanitary, bold
Beneath a permanence which
Wrought a golden dove.
Day Thirty six - Liverpool (cont'd)
The premises are closing now
virgin flower be speckled brown,
in the lofty fired youth
a momentary glimpse of truth:
in oceans we will find our way
when we are brave enough to stay
beneath - a world, though not our own -
lungs collapse and heart and bone
but mind remains, an after thought -
bits of what we learned and sought
out for all but life itself,
wrung the cracked and aging bell
which sounded, lovely through the sea
and meant nothing to you and me.
the methodist church on wine street
i like the way cigarettes make me feel
like I could sip a soft scent of sodomy
from a moving vehicle while you piss off the highway -
or hack at a billboard
with your back to the wall;
a knee to the balls like boulders
in a landslide.
keep in mind we're all strangers whose
balls are more like stones
that won't pass without
painful morphine punishment,
or some friendly encouragement
from a chiseled man with an optical odor

Tasty and Healthy Make Magic at Atlanta's True Food Kitchen
As I slurped up the sesame noodles laced with shrimp, spinach, and shiitake mushrooms, I knew two things — my taste buds were tantalized, and my lunch was actually doing my body good. Tthat is the beauty of Atlanta's latest eat spot addition: True Food Kitchen.
The healthy restaurant concept, which has locations in Arizona, California, and a few other spots, is the brainchild of Dr. Andrew Weil, a well-known proponent of following an anti-inflammatory diet. According to Weil, chronic inflammation is the root of many serious diseases. So, following this type of eating plan can help folks maintain optimum health throughout life. (See Weil's anti-inflammatory food pyramid for more.)
All of True Food's dishes take this way of eating into account. So, you'll find everything from fresh juices like Kale-Aid (kale, apple, cucumber, celery, lemon, and ginger) to grass-fed bison burgers.
When I visited the new location here in Atlanta (which is in Buckhead at Lenox Square Mall), I ordered the Red Chili Shrimp. (I was lucky enough to be invited to enjoy a special hosted lunch prior to the official opening.) If I hadn't had to go back to my day job, I also would have enjoyed one of the many wine, beer, and cocktail options. Instead, my friend, Beth, and I enjoyed the lemon-ginger frozen yogurt — which was delightful!
The food was absolutely a "fit" for me — I love it when finding healthy menu options is so easy, rather than a chore. The only tricky part is that I know this resto is going to be quite a popular place in the months to come, which means it's likely to be packed regularly. But when I'm in the neighborhood, you can bet I'll be back to see whether the line is bearable.

Okay so here's the deal. I will give you the keys to the brand new Rolls Royce of your choice if you can complete one simple task. But if you cannot complete the task you will be tossed out on your ear and the opportunity will be given to someone else.
The task is simply that you must drive a car, any standard car from the easternmost tip of
Long Island to the western end of the Santa Monica Pier without using paved roads. And you must complete the trip in 12 hours.
Clearly it is not possible to drive from one end of
to the other in 12 hours on paved roads, let alone dirt ones given our current technology. So any sane individual would conclude the task is not only silly but ridiculously unfair. America
However a similar task is given to every law maker we vote into office these days.
We tell these men and women that they must fix whatever it is that is broken in the country and do it within a year and a half. We then allow others to stand in their way.
And the penalty for failing to complete the task is the same as in the car scenario, they will be tossed out on their ears and their opponents, the ones standing in the way will be given a shot at completing the impossible task. And the cycle will continue biennially on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
Last month we saw many Democrats tossed out of Congress and the President's approval ratings drop because that majority party could not right all the wrongs that were put in place over the previous 8 years under the Bush administration.
Of course the main obstacles the Democrats had to put up with were roadblocks placed every few feet by that minority party. And instead of crashing through the barriers as many wished they had the Democrats demurely attempted to drive around them. And for that strategy they paid a steep toll.
And therein lay the main problem in the American political system today. The party in power is asked to drive cross country but do so without a full tank of gas.
Earlier today on one of the ubiquitous cable television political shows a pundit inadvertently laid out the Republican plan for the next two years. He did so while discussing the efficacy of a Sarah Palin run for the White House in 2012.
Forgetting the fact that the woman, who could not even complete one term as the Governor of Alaska is not Presidential caliber the question was merely, could she win.
The answer was short but spoke volumes. "If the unemployment rate in
is still above 8.5% in 18 months then Sarah Palin or just about any Republican will beat Obama." America
Well there you have it sports fans the country should brace itself for the continued "No" tactics of the Republican Party as they maintain their efforts to keep many of us out of work.
In fact they could hope for a landslide in their direction if they can keep the rate above 9%.
In fact they could hope for a landslide in their direction if they can keep the rate above 9%.
In other words if you get jobs they lose theirs! That's quite an incentive, no?
And if you don't think they can do it you haven't been paying attention for the past few years.
With a majority in the House and continued growth in the Senate vis a vie the skittish meek Democrats they have more control over what happens in
so, job seekers fuggedaboutit. America
It is clear that Congress is either out of touch with the needs of the average citizen or just does not care. Most of the Republicans and many Democrats realize that their campaigns are funded by the wealthiest 1 to 2 % of the country. These people also use unique and devious methods to send money to 'friends' of their causes.
And while the other 98% do vote they have shown a talent for being manipulated by clever and misleading ads. Ads paid for with the money from that small but influential group of nameless faceless corporations and individual billionaires empowered by new rulings from a Supreme Court hand picked by the Republicans.
And while the other 98% do vote they have shown a talent for being manipulated by clever and misleading ads.

They say 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease.'
But it is also said that 'money talks, nobody walks.'
Or as Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, "A full wallet groans louder than an empty stomach."
And in DC those fat wallets are screaming!
At midnight on January 1st we will have a new Congress taking the wheel of our nation's economic car. Does anyone really believe they will get to
by noon? Santa Monica


text: Driving back from work yesterday, I heard an RJ on one of the radio stations share about the US honour for Nirbhaya and ask the listeners to call and share if they were inspired. Set me thinking.. Inspired? About What?? There are 3 ways in which one could be inspired from a situation. First would be to be like someone and become better than them so that similar or higher honors came ones way. If that's the inspiration refered to here, let me answer the question for all women – No, no one is inspired to step into Nirbhaya's shoes and aspire for similar or better honours.

It's one of those quirky parts of life in Idaho: the Allen & Company conference in Sun Valley. The state's largest resort becomes a playground for the big politicos, big money and big deals for a week each summer.
There's a funny mystique about Sun Valley: Hemmingway and his book writing in the Lodge. The hokey pokey being 'invented' in the Ram Bar. The Olympians. Ahhhhnold.
But perhaps SV's biggest impact on the world are the deals that come together here. When you put together titans of industry - with a concentration of tech and media - and let them relax under blue Idaho skies and with a few drinks... business magic seems to happen. Like:
- Verizon & AOL
- Comcast & NBC Universal
- Jeff Bezos & the Washington Post
- Disney & ABC
Though not hashed out in Sun Valley, the home shopping mega-merger of HSN & QVC will likely be a big topic. Maybe we'll get a Verizon & DIsney tie-up.
This year, the names expected at SV (via Variety) include Oprah, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Roger Goddell, Adam Silver, Tom Brokaw, Charlie Rose... and others.
Summer camp for billionaires is next week.

Richard Masoner interviews blogger Eben Oliver about his new book, his blog and more.
By Richard Masoner
Eben Weiss does not mince his words. The recently revealed face behind the infamous Bike Snob NYC blog is a no-holds-barred commentator on cycling culture. Weiss pokes fun at American cyclists' fascination with carbon fiber bikes. He ridicules fashion shows, bike art and cyclists who travel on the wrong side of the road ("salmon") – and reserves a special sort of snark for fixed-gear "hipsters" – all the while calling for a common sense approach to biking.
The 36-year-old Weiss, an amateur bike racer in Brooklyn, New York – and former BMX-rider and New York City bike messenger – launched his blog in June of 2007. After earning his chops in the publishing industry for more than 10 years, Weiss now dedicates his time to crafting metaphorically-drenched prose for the blog and his Bicycling magazine column. His book, the release of which is at least partly responsible for his recent unveiling, is the most recent addition to the Bike Snob brand.
Weiss's mass appeal comes down to his ability to weave together events in the world of bikes – and their riders – with popular culture. His commitment to his audience (he posts on his blog every weekday), has helped him cultivate a dedicated following. While reviewing the Bike Snob's new book, fellow bike blogger Richard Masoner (cyclelicio.us) seized the opportunity to call up Bike Sob NYC and ask him a few questions.
You started your blog in 2007. What prompted you to start Bike Snob NYC?
I had this monologue running through my head. As any bike dork does, I spent a lot of time reading bike-related content. I'm also, by nature, sarcastic. I decided one day to just start writing it. To my very pleasant surprise, people enjoyed it.
How long did it take for word to filter out about your blog? Did you send emails or tell friends?
I really didn't do anything at all to promote it or anything like that. In the beginning I really didn't know what I was doing. I was just enjoying myself. I started seeing more and more comments.
In the olden days, I didn't even know anything at all about how many people were visiting the blog. I didn't have metrics or anything like that. I would see the comments increase. The first link of note I recall was the drunk cyclist link. That legitimized me. From there people picked up on it.
You started out mocking Craigslist postings and today you continue on that theme. Even in your book you have a sample listing. Your book, though, is surprisingly earnest.
I hope that's not a bad thing!
I like to think the book has the tone of the blog and if you enjoy the blog you will enjoy the book. But the reason it's a little more "philosophical": I feel like it's one thing when you're writing everyday and you're writing stuff that's topical and responding to things that are happening. It's another thing when you're writing something that's going to sit on a shelf and you're asking people to fork over money for it. I want to give a little more through the book. It's important to me that the wise-assery of the blog… there's an attitude I look to put forth.
Don't get hung up on the components, don't get hung up on the fashion, don't get hung up on the gimmicks. Just ride your bike; it's a great thing. It's something all of us have in common as cyclists. I really want the book to address that and be a little more clear in that respect to somebody who's not already immersed in the bike world and came to my blog that way.
Your final chapter addresses the non-cyclist. Do you see the non-cyclist as an audience for your book?
I don't know how much of an audience. Maybe somebody who has a friend or a relative or spouse, partner, whatever, who's really into cycling might buy the book for that person and might be inclined to read it themselves. They might enjoy it themselves. It's a window into the psyche.
I get emails from people every so often, "You know, I found your blog because I don't know anything about cycling but my boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, whatever, really loves to ride and I read it because I want to know what the hell is going on. They're kind of freaks!"
You slam bike culture… well, you don't "slam" it, but…
I'm a little skeptical of the concept. One of the things I like about cycling is that you can do it with friends, you can do it all by yourself.
A lot of what I see referred to as "bike culture" I think refers more to a social clique a lot of times than it does to an actual culture. I harp on the fact that you really don't need to belong to any group at all to ride your bike.
You race for a shop team. Do your teammates know of your secret identity?
My teammates know, yeah.
On your blog, you sometimes get a little controversial. Do your feelings ever get hurt?
You really have to learn and understand the way people interact on the Internet. Obviously the Web has its own kind of discourse. You have to understand why people react the way they do. I live this stuff every day – I'm a blogger! It's fighting and all of that.
You have your blog, your book, Bicycling magazine column…
I couldn't be happier for all of it. I absolutely love it. You spend a lot of time in your life asking what you should be doing. I've always loved to write and I've always loved bikes. You'd think it would be obvious at one point where you'd say, "Wow, I should write about cycling." It took a really long time for me to get that out and I did it totally by accident. I'm really enjoying it.
It sounds like you still have to work for a living?
Ahhhh, no. Yeah. No. I do this. What I'm doing now.
I was told to ask what your favorite ice cream flavor is.
Oh yeah. Vanilla, all the way. Like chocolate, it's not pretentious. But I prefer vanilla.
Thank you Mr Snob.
Thank you. My regards to the West Coast and the burritos and everything.
I agree with the bike snob. I am a fat person who grew up in hills, and now live in even bigger hills. I ride because I love to ride. I love the feeling of pedalling hard, and I love controlling the bike. My bikes have gears and multiple powerful brakes and luggage racks. I own no lycra or clip-in pedals, riding in boots and office clothing or weekend clothing. My bikes are old but light, an advantage I ignore through carrying heavy tools in my work bag and a pocket full of coinbs. Surely extra weight is an advantage, because it prolongs the time, and thus the pleasure, of every ride.
I think fixies are silly, and have spent my life laughing at fashion, partly through sour grapes as a result of having been born terminally uncool (I can't be too uncool – the cat has just spent a few minutes licking my nose). But mainly I laugh at fashion because it seems to evolve out of practicality but become impractical. There are so many things we see that are nonsensical – off-road vehicles that can't go off road, unrideable bicycles, pointlessly large houses, clothing that doesn't keep the wearer warm or comfortable, jewellery that is uncomfortable and grotesque, and a multitude of other things.
So, Mr Snob, keep up the good work and puncture the pretensions of those who ride a bike for an image of toughness or fashion or some other reason about which I can't be bothered to speculate. Laugh at them Mr Snob, and in doing so try to help them realise that fashion and consumerism and such things are just more ways of wasting our time and money when we should doing far more important things like having fun.
I've always been a bit neutral on the blog, the title turned me off a little, but I impulse bought the book a couple of months ago and could not put it down. Very funny and it does a great job of deflating some of the ego and snobbery surrounding cycling, or probably any hobby. I also really enjoyed Weiss's explanation of why cycling is so compelling and why some of us are so in to it. It would also be a great resource for someone just getting into the sport as it does a good job of explaining some of the subcultures. Very fun book and even if you are not totally into the blog it is worth checking out.
I don't understand why you ask about him starting Bike Blog NYC rather than Bike Snob NYC. Am I missing something?
while I really like Bike Snob (quick note to Snob: the Pista Index has been beaten by Walmart, but you already knew that.) I thoroughly enjoy a completely impractical approach to cycling. One that lacks any shred of common sense, except for lights and helmet. And even those lack any sense. Just sayin'. Still enjoy the site-and ish it were a tad snarkier!
Hey…this is a wonderful website buddy and an informative post!!! i am new here and i found this site very interesting and informative ,, you are a professional person i think.. i am [url=http://www.braindumpcentral.com]braindumps[/url professional and i have a great interest in such things…thank you for the post buddy and keep on posting nice stuff like this 🙂

Today's Scripture: And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, Nehemiah 1:3-4
Nehemiah was a person of captivity. He was taken from Israel in the same captivity as Daniel and his friends. Nehemiah was a faithful and godly person who had risen in the ranks of the palace to become the king's cupbearer. When you are faithful, you probably won't get invitations to the popular hangouts, but people will reach out to you when they need help. Nehemiah had a testimony of being a faithful person.
One day an awful report came in from the remnant that had been left in Jerusalem. The report was that the remnant was in great affliction, and the gates and walls of the city were burned with fire. After all these years, the beautiful city of Jerusalem laid in waste. The wall was broken down. Without the wall, invaders could just come in and take what they wanted. Nehemiah knew that this was not how God's people should be living.
This bothered Nehemiah, but he didn't have to be bothered by it. After all, he was living a pretty good life; why would he care about people who were living hundreds of miles away? Yet he cared so much that it affected his person. He fasted and prayed.
Do you care? Are you too comfortable? Are you just going through life, choosing to block out what you know is true? There are millions who have never heard the name of Jesus heading into a Christ-less eternity every day.
We know what Jesus did for us. We understand what He did for us. This understanding should motivate us to care and to share.
Devotional by Jim Scudder Jr.

All forms of investment carry some degree of risk and whilst I don't want to understate the risk of investing in shares quoted on the AIM, I will argue that the step-up from investing in shares quoted on the London Stock Exchange is not that great, if fundamental investing principles are followed.
In Inheritance Tax – Mitigation using Business Property Relief – I introduced both Business Property Relief (BPR) and the concept of this being available to non-entrepreneurs. In this article, I will begin to explore the use of BPR products, which have been put together by specialist Investment Managers to bring BPR relief from IHT to […]
Written under a simple family trust, the policy proceeds then cost-effectively compensates the beneficiaries for some or all of the IHT on death.
In the summer budget of 2015, the Chancellor announced measures for which the headline was an increase in the Nil Rate Band for Inheritance Tax to £1m, but is this true and, if so, who will benefit?
Are you passing an Inheritance Tax problem down the generations? Watch this interesting animation.
Whilst Enid's overriding concern is to maintain her own financial independence, come what may, she continues to be concerned about the impact Inheritance Tax (IHT) will have on her two sons when they eventually inherit.
One of the most comprehensive reliefs from Inheritance Tax (IHT) is Business Property Relief (BPR). This has been part of the IHT landscape since the tax was first introduced in 1984 and, for many years, has provided 100% (originally 50%) relief for qualifying business assets.
If it can be demonstrated that a pattern of gifting had been established and that the amounts gifted were demonstrably affordable out of normal income, those gifts are outside your estate immediately
If the investment is structured in the right way, commercial forestry represents a good shelter against inheritance tax while also producing periodic tax-free income as mature trees are felled and the timber sold.
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Roy Jenkins, once said, "Inheritance Tax is a voluntary levy paid by those who distrust their heirs more than they dislike the Inland Revenue"! Whilst the rules have been tightened-up somewhat since he said this, there are certainly many things that can legitimately be done to reduce the burden of Inheritance Tax.
How inheritance tax is calculated including an example. Other than in some Trust situations, which I won't go into here, Inheritance Tax is payable on the net value of your estate after you die.
Are inheritance gifts a good way to avoid Inheritance Tax?
In a word, yes! However, are you absolutely certain you can afford to make the gift in the first place? Have you enough income and other financial resources to maintain your standard of living throughout your retirement, come what may, even for future long-term care, for example? If so, gifts are a great way to reduce a future Inheritance Tax liability.
Inheritance Tax is usually paid on an estate (all assets, less any liabilities) when somebody dies. It's sometimes payable on trusts or gifts made during someone's lifetime (but only to companies, not individuals).

It's an odd feeling for the Warriors to enter draft night without a single draft pick, but Bob Myers made sure they didn't finish the night without a pick.
The Warriors reportedly bought the No. 26 pick in the first round from the Minnesota Timberwolves and then traded that pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder for the No. 29 overall pick. They then flipped the No. 29 overall pick to the Phoenix Suns for the No. 30 overall pick, the final pick of the first round.
Once again, the Warriors acquired No. 26 pick from Minnesota, then traded it to Oklahoma City for the No. 29 pick— Marcus Thompson (@gswscribe) June 28, 2013

Hello world!
How's the Tampa real estate market? In a single phrase, "Unbelieveable". We are experiencing a Red Hot Buyer's Market! Prices continue to drop, foreclosures remain abundant and short sales the norm. The recent foreclosure moratorium only suspended the process temporarily. With taxes and costs on the rise particularly in heavily industrialized states the Florida sunshine, recreational sports and no state personal income tax make an attractive package for investors. Today, buyers can peruse through a variety of inventory and select a property that best suits their needs. With the high number of foreclosures, the inventory of available rentals is slim for local tenants. Thus, saavy investors can purchase a property obtain financing and most likely find a tenant that will pay rent to carry most if not all associated costs.
To search for Florida properties go to our website: www.BrockRealty-Inc.com and click on Property Search. All properties currently listed for sale are available through this portal. Be amazed. Be Wowed. Become a smart investor. Tampa Bay is a fabulous place to live, play and work.

Stacking vs. Dividing: Which one is best for what?
When it comes to deciding whether to stack or divide kitchen supplies, for me, it really comes down to frequency of use.
I find dividing to be the best choice for things that are used most often, like baking sheets. I dedicate a cabinet close to the oven or stove for these items and put vertical dividers in to keep them organized and upright. Be sure to measure the longest one and go from there! I definitely do not recommend stacking baking sheets...the idea of having to lift up numerous pans to get to the one you need is difficult and discouraging!
I feel the same way about cutting boards and trays - I dedicate a vertically divided cabinet as close to the prep area as possible. Reaching for the cutting board is so much easier this way.
When it comes to serving pieces, I like to stack them in shallow drawers. However, you should never stack too many as that becomes heavy, overwhelming, and is an accident waiting to happen!
I always stick to my (ongoing) theme of grouping in "families" (more on this concept in a later Nancy's Notes post!). I have a few drawers of all white stacked pieces. And then I also have some pull out cabinets with stacked outdoor plates and serving pieces...near the doors to my yard, of course.
When deciding whether to stack or divide - always take into account the size, frequency of use, and weight!
Have any questions? I'm always here to help!

The sacred door to the labyrinth beckons one to experience a journey into oneself. It is not a puzzle of pieces; there is only one decision to make: to enter or not. Consider it a walking meditation allowing you to let go of issues or to find clarity.
Labyrinths have been around for centuries and represent a spiritual journey of intuition and consciousness. With its many twists and turns there is not a "right way" or a "wrong way" to walk. There are no decisions to make other than to enter, to walk the path to the center, and return on your own timing. It is your mystical journey.
I love to walk a labyrinth a few times a year, and I often go with friends. Before I enter, I make an intention with Spirit. For example, it could be a prayer of clarity or an intention of peace. When I start my walk, I bring my awareness to my steps (I walk barefooted). I am mindful of the pace and the sureness of my steps, as well as the depth of my breath, thoughts and feelings. When I reach the center, I offer up my intention to Spirit as a prayer and let it go. I seem to walk a little lighter on the way out. At a minimum, it releases tension and creates a little peace for me.
There are wonderful labyrinths all over the United States and in the world. I encourage you to find one near you to experience the blessings of stepping into your own interior space.

I've struggled in the past to bond with truly digital tools such as the iPad and Apple Pencil. There's nothing like the feel and connection I get with an actual pencil and paper. This week though, we've had company at our house and I decided to give these digital tools another chance out of necessity. While I did cheat in that my original sketches were in pencil and scanned in, I worked over them in Procreate with the Apple Pencil. I had fun downloading new brushes and making a color palette. I've only briefly used the program before on a couple of occasions but never felt compelled to try them more. I'm glad I tried again because it was fun to use!
The reason behind these sketches is I'm taking another Make Art that Sells Bootcamp online class. I do enjoy the creative vibes and friendly community within the group. These sketches were for the initial mini and involved drawing items inside our bags/purses.
I've been carrying around Baker Creek's most recent catalog. The photography is beautiful and it's a treasure trove of unique heirloom seeds. I recommend checking them out for all of your seed needs for planting.

Dreamhunter and Dreamquake by Elizabeth Knox
This gorgeously written "duet" by NZ author Elizabeth Knox deserves to be more widely known. It tells the story of the Place, a sort of no-man's-land where dreams can literally be caught as if catching a cold. Only dreamhunters can cross the border into the Place. There they camp, sleep, and if they are lucky and sleeping on the right spot, they will catch a wonderful (or frightening) dream. Once loaded with a dream, the dreamhunter will "perform" the dream nightly at one of the opulent dream palaces - these are where the rich and fabulous members of society go, clad in silk pyjamas and fashionable nightgowns, to retire to their private suites and be swept away in a dream not of their own making. Dreamhunters can become wealthy and famous, but they are also held in a superstitious awe, since not everyone can or wants to be able to enter the Place.
Cousins Laura and Rose come from the most famous dreamhunting family, and are awaiting their Try to discover if they have the ability to enter the Place. Set in a sort of alternate Edwardian era, the girls also attend school at Founderston Girls Academy, prepare for balls and have tea and cream cakes at Farry's Confectioners. The writing is lush and descriptive, and the story is intelligent and complex. It has some interesting twists and turns, but everything fits in somehow, somewhere. I've read this duet several times now for the beautiful visuals and the wonderful characters who now feel like old friends.
Good books.

With 355 wickets in Tests at an average a shade below of 30, Chaminda Vaas is widely considered as the best Sri Lankan pacer of all-time and as it turns out, he is also Sri Lanka's highest impact pacer. Hardly any hidden fact about that. What the conventional numbers fail to show though is just how big a role Vaas played in creating history for Sri Lanka in this classic format.
Pacers are a rare variety in the subcontinent, especially in Sri Lanka where only four have played in more than 30 Tests and only one more than 50 – Vaas himself. It tells a story in itself on how hard it is to be a successful pacer.
When Vaas made his debut in 1994, Sri Lanka were just about turning into a formidable unit, but more so in ODIs. They had won only four Tests out of their 58 since receiving the Test status. Sri Lanka lacked a quality pacer. The rest of the team was steadily getting into shape with Arjuna Ranatunga, Aravinda de Silva, Roshan Mahanama and Hashan Tillakaratne shepherding the batting responsibilities. The bowling attack though wasn't quite upto the mark and it was also a reason why Sri Lanka failed to win Test matches. Muttiah Muralitharan had made his debut two years back in 1992 but still wasn't at his best. Kumar Dharmasena and Ravindra Pushpakumara were there as well but could hardly be termed as 'world class' in this format. What Sri Lanka needed were match-winners with the ball. Chaminda Vaas was their answer. It was a glorious opportunity as well. Given their relatively new entry into the international scene, the chance of making history for his country was on the horizon and Vaas grabbed it with both hands.
Sri Lanka toured New Zealand in early 1995 and were bundled out for 183 in their first innings in the first Test at Napier.
Playing only in his fifth Test match, Vaas contributed a crucial unbeaten 33 runs after coming into bat at 88 for 6. New Zealand, in reply, were jolted by Vaas as he picked up 5-47 to skittle them out for a paltry 109. The Sri Lankan batsmen fared much better in the second innings and scored 352. Vaas contributed again with the bat, scoring 36.
Chasing an improbable 427, New Zealand were bowled out for 185 with Vaas and Muralitharan sharing five wickets each—an indicator of many such future partnerships. This was Sri Lanka's first overseas win in their Test history and Vaas was the highest impact player in it.
The second Test match at Dunedin ended in a draw which also gave Sri Lanka their first overseas Test series victory and meant Vaas' first
By 1999, Australia had established themselves as the best Test team in the world. Sri Lanka had never won a Test match against them, let alone a series.
Australia, batting first in the first Test at Kandy, found themselves at 16 for 4 courtesy of a Vaas triple strike. Muralitharan and Zoysa wiped off the rest of the batsmen as Australia managed only 188. Sri Lanka, in reply, scored 234.
Australia, in their second innings, managed only 140 as Vaas bowled 15 overs for his 3-15. Chasing 95, Sri Lanka won with six wickets in hand. The remaining two Tests in the series ended in draws as Sri Lanka wrapped up a series victory. With this performance, Vaas became the first Sri Lankan pacer to produce two or more SDs in Tests and till date remains the only one to have achieved that.
Unlike Australia, South Africa performed really well in the subcontinent, winning Test series against India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. In fact, before their tour of Sri Lanka in 2004, they had lost only one series in the subcontinent (against India in 1996).
The first Test of South Africa's Sri Lankan tour at Galle ended in a draw before the action shifted to Colombo for the second and final Test. Batting first, Sri Lanka posted a massive 470, thanks to Kumar Sangakkara's 232. South Africa were hit as early as the third ball of their innings when Vaas accounted for Gibbs and the tone was set. South Africa could manage only 189 as Sanath Jayasuriya raided them with figures of 5-34. Sri Lanka further consolidated their position by scoring 211 in their second innings and then declaring.
Chasing 493 or more importantly four sessions to bat out for a draw, South Africa were treated, or rather, subjected to, a masterclass in seam bowling by Vaas, who took three of the top five as South Africa stuttered to 36 for 5 with the fate of the match effectively sealed. Vaas went on to take three more to finish with figures of 6-29 off his 18 overs as South Africa lost by 313 runs. This was Sri Lanka's first Test series win over South Africa and Vaas registered a
Even though majority of Sri Lanka's wins in the late 90s and 2000s revolved around the genius of Muralitharan, it was Vaas who ably supported him from the other end in non-conducive surfaces. Apart from being an excellent support bowler, Vaas' contribution in crucial Test wins changed Sri Lankan history—something for which he doesn't normally get the credit for.
The conversations surrounding Vaas need to be about this legacy he left rather than the initials in his name.

(Reuters) - Sainsbury's and Walmart's Asda will provide a more specific commitment to cut prices in response to a negative provisional view by Britain's competition watchdog of their proposed tie-up, the Financial Times (FT) reported on Monday.
Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) dealt a potentially fatal blow to the deal last month, saying its initial view was that the proposed 7.3 billion pound ($9.7 billion) takeover of Asda by Britain's No. 2 supermarket group would be blocked without the sale of a large number of stores, or even one of the brands.
The supermarkets will also recalculate a key indicator of consumer harm using what they consider to be more realistic criteria, and submit another proposal for store sales, the FT reported, citing people briefed on the process.
Sainsbury's declined to comment, while Asda did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the FT report.

CBS News took a peek last night at our favorite giant golf ball, er, missile defense radar.With documents obtained by the Project on Government Oversight the CBS News Investigative Unit found a host of issues with the Sea-Based X-Band Radar SBX for short that still remain unresolved, just ahead of its activation in the waters off Adak Island, Alaska.- Beyond questions raised in our CBS Evening News story about plans to stick it in some of the most unforgiving weather in the world, if the SBX has a single point of failure, according to sources within Missile Defense, it is The Dove. The Dove is the large support vessel, 279 feet long, which travels with the SBX, delivers personnel, supplies and fuel to the radar platform. Though the SBX has a helicopter platform, military and Coast Guard helicopters wont land there. So the SBX uses a single crane to lift people and material off the Dove. According to the Coast Guard letter obtained by CBS News, there are regularly waves as high as 30 feet many days out of the year. There are concerns that the Dove will not be able to maneuver close enough to the SBX to re-supply without colliding or injuring crew men in those conditions.Other potential problems include:-Fuel spills: the Dove carries 600,000 gallons of diesel fuel and the SBX carries 1.2 million gallons. If both vessels spilled their fuel in the pristine waters off Adak Island, it would be the second largest fuel spill in Alaskan history. Second only to the Exxon Valdez. How likely is a fuel spill? According to incident reports obtained by the Investigative Unit, the Dove spilled 3-5 gallons of diesel during fueling operations on December 9th. It happened near Hawaii and the system was shut down when crewmembers saw a growing oil slick. Thats not a lot of fuel by Exxon Valdez standards but the spill occurred in ocean conditions with 12-foot swells, relatively calm compared to conditions in the Bering Sea.-Security: As a source within the Missile Defense Agency said, Trying to defend a billion dollar asset with rifles, shotguns and 50 cals is ridiculous. The SBX will be protected around the clock by about a dozen lightly armed security contractors. Can the SBX defend itself from a direct attack by a bomb-laden boat?

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants continued their roster overhaul Wednesday by signing former Denver Broncos defensive end Robert Ayers.
Ayers is the 13th veteran the Giants have signed since free agency started.
Ayers had a career-high 5½ sacks last season for the AFC champion Broncos. A 2009 first-round draft choice out of Tennessee and a New Jersey native, he is the fourth participant from February's Super Bowl, and the third from the Broncos, to join the Giants. The others are CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and return specialist Trindon Holliday. CB Walter Thurmond left Seattle to join the Giants.
The Giants lost defensive captain Justin Tuck to Oakland in free agency, leaving Jason Pierre-Paul, Mathias Kiwanuka and second-year pro Damontre Moore as defensive ends. Pierre-Paul was limited by injuries last season.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for me, coming to a great organization like this," Ayers said. "They hate losing and they're always about getting better and preparing, and I've heard nothing but good things about the general manager and the owners, the coaches. Everyone speaks highly of them across the league. They're a blue-collar organization."
The Giants have been the NFL's most active team in free agency. Along with Rodgers-Cromartie, Thurmond and Holliday, they have signed offensive linemen Geoff Schwartz, J.D. Walton, John Jerry and Charles Brown; defensive backs Zack Bowman and Quinton Demps; wide receiver Mario Manningham; linebacker Jameel McClain; and running back Rashad Jennings.
Robert Ayers' career-high sack total from last season. Ayers is the 13th veteran the Giants have signed since free agency started.

Most US citizens support 'smart' guns: Survey
New York, Jan 22: Nearly 60 percent of US citizens will purchase a "smart" or childproof gun - a weapon that is only operable in the hands of an authorised user, says a latest survey.
The survey by Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health also found that four in 10 gun owners and 56 percent of political conservatives surveyed are willing to purchase a smart gun - debunking the widely used argument by gun manufacturers and gun groups that there is no market for smart guns.
On January 4 this year, US President Barack Obama issued a memorandum directing the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security and Defence to develop a strategy to expedite the real-world deployment of gun safety technology to reduce the unauthorised use of firearms, and to consider the purchase of smart guns.
The findings - published in the American Journal of Public Health - contrast sharply from earlier estimates. Research from 2013, funded by the gun manufacturers' trade association, suggested just 14 percent of people would be willing to make their next handgun purchase a smart gun.
"Proponents of smart guns say their widespread use would cut down on suicides, stolen or borrowed guns that go on to be used in crimes and accidental shootings of children by other children," the study noted.
The technology uses fingerprint or radio frequency identification (RFID) that only allows authorised people to fire a given handgun.
Objections from gun manufacturers and the gun lobby -- including opposition to any requirements mandating the sale of smart over traditional guns -- have kept them from being produced on a large scale. Smart guns are not currently sold in the US.
To examine public interest in purchasing smart guns, the team conducted a nationally representative, web-based survey, getting responses from 3,949 people.
Nearly 60 percent of all respondents said they would be willing to consider a childproof gun if they were to purchase a new weapon.
More than twice as many current gun owners said they would be willing to purchase a childproof gun than would be unwilling.
The guns were most supported by political liberals (71 percent), but support was also high among political moderates (56 percent) and conservatives (56 percent).
"The results show that there is potentially a large commercial market for smart gun technology," said Julia A Wolfson, PhD candidate in the department of health policy and management.
"This has been one of the biggest arguments against smart guns, that people just don't want them. This research shows otherwise," Wolfson added.
The technology to make guns smart is already being used in other products.
Some iPhones can be unlocked by the user's unique thumbprint. Many cars use RFID to allow for keyless entry and keyless ignitions.
For a smart gun, a chip could be embedded in a watch or a ring worn by the authorised user. The gun would then verify the identity of the person holding it as an authorised user and could fire.
