A St. Louis Circuit Court jury decided against a woman who brought a lawsuit against the company responsible for a "Girls Gone Wild" video that she appeared in years ago without her knowledge. This woman claimed that she had not given consent to appear in the video.
A jury on Thursday rejected a young woman's claim that the producers of a "Girls Gone Wild" video damaged her reputation by showing her tank top being pulled down by another person in a Laclede's Landing bar.The defense's argument about the woman's consent is absurd and makes the fact that this woman lost this lawsuit extremely troubling. It is classic victim-blaming to claim that because a woman made the decision to be in a certain situation that she also made the decision to be sexually assaulted by a franchise that clearly has some messed up ideas about consent (like it not being necessary at all, or is ok if it includes pressure). It's shocking to me that this held up in court.
A St. Louis Circuit Court jury deliberated 90 minutes before ruling against the woman, 26, on the third day of the trial. Lawyers on both sides argued the key issue was consent, with her side saying she absolutely refused to give it and the defense claiming she silently approved by taking part in the party.
But Patrick O'Brien, the jury foreman, told a reporter later that an 11-member majority decided that Doe had in effect consented by being in the bar and dancing for the photographer. In a trial such as this one, agreement by nine of 12 jurors is enough for a verdict.And she knew she had not given any kind of acceptable consent to have her top pulled down or to appear in a video.
"Through her actions, she gave implied consent," O'Brien said. "She was really playing to the camera. She knew what she was doing."

ORLANDO, Fla. - Maybe WrestleMania doesn't need help from other entertainment personalities to set itself apart as the king of wrestling pay-per-views.
That's no knock against the celebrities who did take part in the 24th edition. Floyd Mayweather's match with Big Show was lively and entertaining, far from the train wreck some feared it might become. John Legend handled America the Beautiful with style, Snoop Dogg seemed right at home in the Bunny Mania match, and Kim Kardashian... well, she was used sparingly.
Still, it was the wrestlers themselves and the show they put on that were the stars on Sunday night. The action, pacing and emotion came together to form quite a blend for the crowd on hand at the Citrus Bowl.
And despite reports of trouble selling the last few thousand tickets and bench seating that made it difficult to determine just how full some sections of the stadium were, it was quite a crowd. It was live even before the televised portion of the event, giving Kane a warm reaction for winning the 24-man battle royal, and it certainly made enough noise to sound like WWE�s announced total of 74,635 - which would be a new attendance record for the stadium.
The biggest response of the night came from its emotional peak. After an apologetic Shawn Michaels delivered the Sweet Chin Music that likely ended Ric Flair�s career, the Nature Boy walked back up the ramp without music, but rather the standing ovation of an appreciative group of fans.
It was a poignant finish that had people tearing up, even in the press box. Though WWE doesn�t usually do restrained or understated, it deserves credit for letting the moment speak for itself.
Other parts of the show followed a well-plotted course. The Belfast Brawl between Finlay and JBL was a fitting opener, with the fans in full support of the Fighting Irishman and Hornswoggle. Plenty of innovative spots highlighted the Money in the Bank ladder match, though CM Punk may not have been as popular a choice to win as some others.
Even Bunny Mania made sense coming right after the drama of Michaels-Flair, acting as a palette cleanser of sorts for what was still to come. That included the trio of main events, each of which elicited a decidedly different reaction from the fans.
Surprise seemed to be the number one response to the three-way clash for the WWE title. Villainous champion Randy Orton got his share of boos when he retained his belt, but it was apparent that many on hand expected Triple H or John Cena to walk away with the gold - and backed up by a WWE poll shown that had only eight percent of voters favoring Orton.
Finally, a Smackdown main event that was worthy of anchoring WrestleMania brought things to a fitting conclusion. Edge and the Undertaker built their match steadily until the crowd was hanging on every reversal and near fall. The finish was creative, with the Dead Man locking on his submission finisher right after getting hit with a Spear, and Edge tapped out to send the enthusiastic masses home happy.
That enthusiasm carried over to the souvenir stands, where people were gathered many rows deep to purchase event-specific items like football jerseys, programs and shot glasses. There was also a special "Thank You Ric" shirt in honor of Flair, with the dates of his 16 title wins printed on the back.
Certainly WWE made out well from its gate as well as its merchandise sales, as a press release handed out during the event touted a record $5.85 million take at the gate. WrestleMania 25 is set for Houston, where it last took place seven years ago, but it�s not that hard to imagine it coming back to Central Florida even sooner than that. The other area attractions and venues almost seem tailor-made to host an event that has grown from taking up one night to a nearly week-long schedule of activities.
WrestleMania itself is still the crown jewel, of course, and when it comes off the way it did on Sunday, Orlando will welcome it back any time it wants to return.
Nick Tylwalk hopes to find his way home on Monday. Bob Kapur is sticking around for Monday Night Raw.

Eye injury
From ArticleWorld
An eye injury is a physical or chemical injury that directly affects a person's eye. If it is not immediately treated, it can become a serious threat to the person's vision. They are usually accompanied by redness and pain to the eye. However, it is possible for these symptoms not to appear, as some parts of the ocular system lack nerves.
As soon as a patient turns in to a medic seeking advice in a possible eye injury, a normal eye examination should be immediately performed, maybe using a topical eye anesthetic. The doctor should check for any external affections of the eye, checking for any kind of perforations, hyphemia or other such conditions. Certain hints exist; for example, a teardrop-shaped pupil suggests a perforation of the cornea. Depending on the examination and the patient's medical history, the doctor will then decide upon the emergency of the condition:
- Emergency conditions: such conditions must be treated immediately, within minutes. Such conditions are, for example, chemical burns of the cornea.
- Urgent conditions: such conditions should be treated in a matter of hours. They are often penetrating injuries, like corneal abrasions.
- Semi-urgent conditions: these can be managed in a matter of days. Subconjunctival hemorrhages are common semi-urgent conditions.
There are a number of common measures that must be taken, which include:
- Patching. Many conditions, like corneal abrasions, require a pressure patch to be applied, so that the patient cannot open the affected eye. Pressure patches should not be applied if the globe is penetrated.
- Irrigation. This is one of the first actions that should be performed in the case of chemical injuries. Isotonic saline or sterile water should be used. Under no circumstance should the solution be buffered, it simply has to be diluted.
- Suturing. Sutures should be performed in some cases, for example in an eyelid laceration, as long as the laceration does not pose any threat to the canaliculi, does not affect the margins of the lid or is not too deep.

Hip Gate - Part 2

I am a mum of a teen with Arthritis, She gets down too but we havent had this experience. all I can offer is a gentle hug and an ear, always about if you need someone to listen to... gentle hugs and cuddles xx

I know this sounds kinda wrong, but I just hope you are having a bad day :( Sending you big hugs xReplyDelete
I really do feel for you and don't blame you one little bit for feeling so bad. It's difficult to know what to say and to advise, but I personally believe you have to allow yourself this time and try and move on in a few days. When you have lots of bad luck in many ways(I at age 50 could write the book on it!)and you get lots of pain and medical problems, it's really hard to take, especially when you are an active, generally positive person. Try to talk it over with your loved ones, maybe in a day or two and hope that the right decision will come to you? I completely understand about not wanting to have another hip operation, I had one done just over 2 years ago and they think I'll probably have to have the other one replaced(unsure when)but I can't face that recovery time and I ended up on 2 crutches, which I wasn't expecting and found the whole thing so horrible. Do try to go on your night out if you can as though I understand your concerns, you hopefully will feel better for it and it gives you something positive and good to focus on, however briefly. Take care.ReplyDelete

Hey Rheuma Girl. Sorry you're going through such a rough time. I can relate, as the past couple years have been one horrible thing after another for me - that's not counting the arthritis! I recently started to see a counselor to work through some things with my husband (or so I thought) and it has been more help than I imagined. She's really helping me get through some issues relating to arthritis that I had bottled up since I was a child with arthritic hips, etc. Wish I'd done it years ago! Most important, she told me I have every right to complain because sometimes things are just rotten. I think it feels good just to admit it. And it turns out, she has rheumatoid arthritis (purely coincidental!). But if you'd ever thought about talking things out when they become so overwhelming, I highly recommend counseling. It can help relieve some of the stress that is so detrimental to us. By the way, I can relate to the shoe issues, as my wardrobe sadly has changed over the years to accommodate my 'orthopedic shoes'! Not very nice with the party season upon us, is it? I hope things go well for you soon! ~MimiReplyDelete
Ah hon, I don't have the same illness as you but I want to give you a great big hug. Life is kicking the crap out of me at the moment, but for different reasons. It feels like naff all compared to what you're going through.ReplyDelete
There are a couple of quotes I fall back on. One from Harvey Dent from Batman - 'The night is darkest before the dawn, and I promise you the dawn is coming.' Well, sometimes it needs to bloody well hurry up.
The other quote is from Lance Armstrong - 'Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.'
Feel free to tell me to poke my 'inspirational' quotes where the sun doesn't shine if they don't help!
I long ago gave up wondering why I'd been singled out for a life of crap and pain, except maybe to make me appreciate the good stuff and good people when I'm able. Life chews up and spits out better people than me, so the question changes from 'Why me?' to 'Why not me?'
I'll finish off by saying I hope your pain abates so you can have a good night out and lift your spirits x x
Hiyah darling,ReplyDelete
(I've already written this out twice, and both occasions the website crashed.. arghhh!!) So please excuse my very shortened version now cos I'm so frustrated I can't even remember what I first said bleurghh..
Anyways.. I am a regular visitor to your blog but have never commented before and for that I'm sorry, but I have been here secretly willing you on..
From a fellow RA sufferer (have had it since a few months and now 23) I want to praise you for your strength and positivity, yes you may think otherwise BUT I can't think of anyone that has gone through what you have and can still have time to laugh about it, let alone write so personally and from the heart!
You, my girl are an inspiration. I have days of pure aches/pains/fatigue but am one of the lucky ones who, majority of the time, can go around and almost pretend I am "normal".
I have severe ups and downs and keep fighting to break down those walls that keep stubbornly getting in my way, but unfortunately it's life.. and what doesn't break us makes us stronger!! I almost feel sorry for those that can swan around doing what they like when they like because they never fully appreciate the good times, like we can when we get those once in a while!!
Please please stay strong and keep fighting because I truly believe it will come back positive on you two fold!!
So from one cupcaker, to another, keep smiling beccuse you're beautiful!!! And yes you bloody will get out those sexy heels on and parade in them because you won't and can't let RA rule you!
Ps. if you ever need to chat/rant/bitch/just bleurghhhh at someone I'M HERE!!!

Hey, I just wondered how you've been over the weekend. You've coped brilliantly before with awful stuff and I am sure you can do it again if it comes to it. Thinking of you xReplyDelete
No words of wisdom but I am so sorry for your pain of late. I just found your blog through Sunshine and Lollypops on Facebook... and so glad I did! I am in close to the same emotional state as you, though not quite as bad off physically yet.ReplyDelete
Don't ever be sorry for the somber posts... this is life, our life, and we are all on this bumpy road together. It helps me to read things like this and know I am not alone in my battle, though I feel bad for all who know the same struggles.
Please, keep pouring your heart out to us all. Thank you for your honesty.
I am sorry to hear about your condition and I truly find your blog inspiring. Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete

|Scooped by trustinhim
LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Hundreds of people in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore ransacked a Christian neighborhood Saturday and torched dozens of homes after hearing reports that a Christian man had committed blasphemy against Islam's prophet, said a police officer.
Blasphemy is a serious crime in Pakistan that can carry the death penalty but sometimes outraged residents exact their own retribution for perceived insults of Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Pakistan is overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim and people of other faiths, including the nation's small Christian community, are often viewed with suspicion.
The incident started Friday when a young Muslim man accused a Christian man of committing blasphemy by making offensive comments about the prophet, according to Multan Khan, a senior police officer in Lahore.
A large crowd from a nearby mosque went to the Christian man's home on Friday night, and Khan said police took him into custody to try to pacify the crowd. Fearing for their safety, hundreds of Christian families fled the area overnight.
Khan said the mob returned on Saturday and began ransacking Christian homes and setting them ablaze. He said no one in the Christian community was hurt, but several policemen were injured when they were hit with stones as they tried to keep the crowd from storming the area.
But Akram Gill, a local bishop in the Lahore Christian community said the incident had more to do with personal enmity between two men — one Christian and one Muslim — than blasphemy. He said the men got into a brawl after drinking late one night, and in the morning the Muslim man made up the blasphemy story as payback.
He said the Christian community handed over to police the accused man, identified by police and Gill as Sawan Masih, when police came to the neighborhood to investigate. Then the Christians all locked up their houses and went to relatives in other areas. He said the mob Saturday morning was armed with hammers and steel rods and broke into houses, ransacked two churches and burned Bibles and crosses.
"Poor people were living here. They have lost all of their belongings," he said. "Where can they go now?"
The scene was chaotic. An Associated Press photographer said roughly 50 homes and a small church were set on fire. One man was seen carrying a dog and some puppies from a burning house. Refrigerators, washing and sewing machines, cooking pots, beds and other household goods were ripped from homes, smashed and torched in the streets.
One Christian couple from the neighborhood said they went to their Muslim neighbors' house on Friday night after people came looking for the Christian man accused of blasphemy. Ishaq Masih said the Muslim neighbors sheltered the couple for the night and then gave them money to leave the area in the morning.
Such accusations of blasphemy in Pakistan can prompt huge crowds to take the law into their own hands. Once an accusation is made it's extremely difficult to get it reversed, partly because law enforcement officials do not want to be seen as being soft on blasphemers.
Speaking out against the blasphemy laws can put people in danger. Two prominent politicians were assassinated in 2011 for urging reform of the law. The killer of one of the politicians was hailed as a hero, and lawyers at his legal appearances showered him with rose petals.
According to Human Rights Watch, there are at least 16 people on death row for blasphemy and another 20 are serving life sentences.
Last year there was a rare reversal of a blasphemy case. A teenage Christian girl with suspected mental disabilities was accused of burning pages of the Quran. But she was later released after a huge domestic and international outcry about her treatment. A local cleric where she lived was arrested and accused of planting the pages in her bag to incriminate her, a rare example of the accuser facing legal consequences. However, he was later freed on bail.
While Muslims are frequently accused of blasphemy, members of Pakistan's small Christian community are especially vulnerable to the accusations, said the head of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, Zora Yusuf. Only in Christian cases will violent mobs punish the entire community for the perceived crime of one Christian.
She said often these blasphemy cases are personal grudges or disputes masquerading as religious fervor.
"Most of the time there are other motives involved," she said, such as scaring off Christian residents to grab their property.
Also on Saturday, four people were killed and 25 were wounded when a bomb exploded inside a mosque of the Sunni Barelvi sect in the northwestern city of Peshawar. The bomb was planted in a bookshelf inside the mosque and was detonated by remote control when noon prayers started, said senior police officer Imtiaz Khan.
Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has been the site of several terrorist attacks in recent months. The city is surrounded by lawless tribal regions where al-Qaeda and Pakistani Taliban have hideouts.
The Pakistani military has carried out several operations in the area, but intermittent terrorist attacks continue.
Associated Press writers Rebecca Santana and Zarar Khan in Islamabad contributed to this report.

Earth : Asia : Southeast Asia : Cambodia : North-western Cambodia : Sisophon
Sisophon, also "Serei-sophon" or "Svay", is a small town in North-western Cambodia. It is the capital of Banteay Meanchey Province. Stueng Sisophon is a medium sized river that meanders round the southern circumference of the town.
Sisophon is a transport hub that almost every overland visitor to Cambodia will unknowingly visit for at least 15 min. It is located at the junction two fully sealed main routes: National Highway 5 (to Battambang [80 km south] and Phnom Penh)and National Highway 6 (to Siem Reap [100 km east] and Phnom Penh). Highway 5 continues west for 50 km to Poipet and the Thai border.
The town's main tourist draw is the Banteay Chhmar Temples, which offer a more remote and atmosheric alternative to the those in Siem Reap.
The town is sufficiently large to benefit from modern technological advancements not found in the countryside but is largely untouched by foreign influences, which makes it an interesting representation of modern Cambodia. There's a smattering of aspiring English speaking students, mentally unsound Khmer Rouge survivors, peasants and provincial townsfolk which give the those who care to spend any time in Sisophon a glimpse of folk that are not found in the more visited, more urbane cities.
Get in
By Bus
Several bus companies' offices can be found on the north side of the shared taxi stand. This is where they pick up and drop passengers, though a less centrally located bus station is being threatened (as of early 2012).
There are direct buses from:
The milestones along the main roads on the approach to Sisophon have it labelled as Banteay Meanchey.
By Train
Supposedly due for 2013 is the resurrection of the train line, which would see services from Poipet to Sisophon and on to Battambang, Phnom Penh, Kampot and Sihanoukville.
Get around
The town is small enough to be comprehensively covered on foot. Even the nearest attraction beyond the town, the lookout tower on Phnom Bak, can be enjoyed on foot from the town.
Phnom Jorn-Tien is perhaps within walking distance though the major road and unforgiving climate make taking a motodop the best way to enjoy it.
Motorbikes can be rented at the Golden Crown Guesthouse for $10 per day, ideal for a solo trip to the Banteay Chhmar temples.
Sisophon Station lies south west of central Sisophon. It is on the Phnom Penh to Poipet line. Services to Sisophon terminated in 2006, and the station is currently in decay. Its French-built art deco architecture can still be appreciated, as can the platforms and the informal economy that has taken over the station area, which lends the area a lively flavour of urban squalor.
Phnom Bak (131 m) to the immediate north of Sisophon's centre, features an old government lookout tower, used in the 1990's to watch the Khmer Rouge's movements in the area. There are great views of the town town to the south and dusty planes to the north. The track to the top ascends the hill's northern side. The guard at the top will unlock the gate to allow access to the tower itself.
Phnom Jorn-Tien (Wall Mountain, 98 m) is a hill approximately 2 km west of town, on Road No. 6. There is a pagoda half way up and a well. The hill's vertical face has been used by visiting climbers, though there is neither equipment hire nor guides. Two crazy outcast women live next to a small shrine at the top of the hill - take care, they bite but are easy easy enough to outmanouver!
Opposite the Golden Crown Guesthouse is an internet cafe, $0.50/hour.
Sisophon Market (Psar Sisophon) is to the north of the shared taxi stand. Its stalls sell many necessities from toothpaste to basic meals.
English language newspapers and stationary can be obtained from the Apsara Book Shop near the market.
The Mirror Restaurant, is a reasonably new fast food restaurant, with air-con, serving fried chicken, french fries, and - according to the proprietor - fried ice cream. It can be found to the east of town, opposite Sokimex gas station on Road No. 6. Meals $1 - $4.
The Golden Crown Guesthouse Restaurant, situated underneath the guesthouse, is your standard, tiled, Khmer restaurant, serving rice, and different meats. Meals $1.25 - $3.5.
A lack of Irish pubs, trendy wine bars, coffee house, tea rooms and laudanum dens means that tins in the market, cafes or restaurants are one's most commonly encountered forms of drink. A tin of beer or soda is usually $0.50.
Golden Crown Guesthouse ($6 - $12), is considered the only decent guesthouse in town, and can be found to the east of the central shared taxi stand, where most buses drop passengers. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.
Pyn's Place ($10 fan - $20 a/c), is on National Highway 5, 3.5km west of town, at the base of the mountain. Free Wi-Fi and swimming pool.
On the shared taxi stand's south side is a row of cheap, basic guesthouses with box rooms ($2.50).
Get out
Highway 69 runs north to the temples of Banteay Chhmar (70 km). It is a less substantial road than the major highways and may be impassable at times during the rainy season. Self drive motor bikes ($10/day) or tuk-tuk drivers ($30/8 hr) can be arranged at the Golden Crown Guesthouse.

US Open Cup: New England edge out Rochester, Chicago top Columbus to advance | Matchday Recaps
FINAL: New England Revolution 2, Rochester Rhinos 1
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The New England Revolution made two first half goals stick against their USL PRO affiliate Rochester Rhinos, setting up a return to the quarterfinal round of the US Open Cup.
With the ball in the middle of the box, Lee Nguyen drew defenders and snuck the ball through, leaving it flat on the left side for Saer Sene to punch home in the 11th minute.
In the 33rd minute Nguyen served up a cross from the left wing and Kelyn Rowe followed up his initial shot to put the Revs up, 2-0.
Colin Rolfe's high header in the 55th minute pulled the Rhinos within one, but an equalizer eluded them.
Next up in the tournament, New England will head to Philadelphia to face the Union – who they also play in their return to league action this Saturday – in a USOC quarterfinal match on Tuesday, July 8th.
Chicago Fire 4, Columbus Crew 2 (after extra time)
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Substitute Juan Luis Anangono produced a match-winning display as the Chicago Fire advanced to the quarterfinals of the US Open Cup with a 4-2 extra-time victory over the Columbus Crew at Toyota Park on Wednesday evening.
Anangono, who replaced Mike Magee in the 77th minute, scored two goals and played a part in another as the Fire secured a last eight meeting with the Atlanta Silverbacks in two weeks' time.
A close to full-strength Fire side dominated the first half against a decimated Crew squad, and there was no surprise when the home side's superiority paid off with the opening goal in the 34th minute.
Harry Shipp was the provider, swinging in a dangerous right-wing free kick for center back Patrick Ianni to steer the ball home from close range.
Lively substitute Jairo Arrieta, who replaced Justin Meram at the break, equalized for the visitors in the 55th minute when he latched on to Ben Sweat's pull back pass and found the net with a textbook bicycle kick from six yards.
The Crew then took the lead in the 70th minute when Ben Speas' shot was deflected into the path of Bernardo Anor and the midfielder made no mistake with a calm finish low to Sean Johnson's left.

The Fire restored parity in the 83rd minute when Matt Watson's pull back on the right was swept home by the influential Anangono.
Quincy Amarikwa then put the Fire 3-2 in front in the second minute of extra time when he headed home Shipp's pass after good work by Greg Cochrane and Anangono.
Crew substitute Michael Parkhurst was shown a straight red card for a wild kick at Amarikwa in the 97th minute, and Alex crossed for Anangono to volley home left-footed in the 108th minute to secure the victory for the hosts.

Man, I just can't help it, I gotta say it. I've just got to say it. That son of a bitch Kenneth Copeland is one of the biggest idiots I have ever seen on television.
The dumb bastard made everyone stupid enough to think he speaks the word of God afraid of vaccinations, claiming it causes autism. Now those idiots who follow him are getting diseases like that measles outbreak at that Texas (?) church where his daughter is pastor. I believe seven adults and nine innocent children who were never vaccinated are infected. Measles ain't no joke, it can be fatal.
One day a few years ago I was flipping through the channels and happened on a channel where that dumb bastard Kenneth Copeland was flapping his gums. The greedy, evil, bastard was bragging. He was talking shit about how "the Lord" wants us to prosper and be in health. And he started bragging about how much money he had, saying that he was not only rich, he was filthy rich, because the Lord had blessed him and caused him to prosper, the greedy damn bastard. I thought Jesus was supposed to be for the poor and giving away all your possessions and following him so you would accrue riches in heaven. And didn't Jesus say that a rich man can hardly enter into heaven, and that it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven (for anyone who might not know, the eye of a needle was a small gate in the main large gate of a town or city that was used by people to enter the city when the main gate was closed and secured, and it was barely large enough to admit a camel). Yeah Kenneth Copeland is definitely filthy alright. That stupid Jesus believing freak ought to be put into prison for 10 or 20 years. Let him try to pray himself out of there. Where will his God be then ? We all are pretty certain that there is no god of any kind, but a great many people, some two billion, believe in crazy Bronze age myths dreamed up by a bunch of nomadic goat herders. It's really quite ridiculous. How can such people still exist in the 21st century ? Damn !!!

If this guy has a lot of money his victims should get legal advice on suing him for all of it.
You are too kind to the man! A parasite of the first order, a manipulator, exploiter, and grownups actually send him money! He should be publicly humiliated, however he is incapable of humiliation. He acts as though he is entitled to his wealth ... sadly someone should expose him and charge him with endangering the health and lives of his followers and children.
A good lawsuit and heavy penalty is what got the Arian Nation out of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and bankrupted the organization. Perhaps that can happen to Copeland.
Anthony. Don't sugar coat it. Tell us what you really think! Seriously, though, I don't think he's stupid. He's a con artist, living off the meager pensions and social security of scared, old people who, knowing that their time is coming to a close, hope they can buy their way into heaven. He's no different than the late 19th century snake oil salesmen, the originator of the Ponzi scheme, or any other charlatan who, for the right price, waved a bible and made promises of "pie in the sky, bye and bye." I'm convinced he knows exactly what he's doing. Taking an old woman's money that should be going for food, heat and medicine, and using it to pay the fuel bill on his private jet. It's one of the down sides of being an atheist, knowing there's no hell that this SOB should be rotting in when he breathes his last.
Anthony, nice to see you posting! I was wondering about you and hope you are doing well.
On this topic, come on now, don't hold back.... Tell us how you really feel! :) (Oops, Pat already said that)
I agree with Joan.
Unfortunately, the antivacc dumbshits just got a big boost when Jenny McCarthy was hired onto "The View" - will have a big audience. It's not just the religious. I've never watched the show, but I guess it has a lot of viewers nationwide. Jenny McCarthy is considered especially smart, and most assuredly expert on the dangers of vaccination, with qualifications of being a Playboy Playmate of the year, and having perky breasts and a well groomed pubic hairdo. She was a highschool cheerleader, so that proves she's right about vaccinations causing autism. She has also appeared on the World Wrestling Foundation, and is famously Catholic. I think that more people have gone unvaccinated because of Ms. McCarrthy's antivacctivism than because of Copeland.
But back to your sentiments, you are way to gentle on the shithead preacher.
Here's the antivacc ongoing body count.....
Maybe him and Pat Robertson are buddies. I heard years ago that Robertson goes to Africa to check on his interests there in diamond mines. Both men are pathetic.
This article describes how Wakefield fiddled with the figures.
That put the first symptom two months earlier than reported in the Lancet, and a month before the boy received the MMR vaccination. And this was not the only anomaly to catch the father's eye. What the paper reported as a "behavioural symptom" was noted in the records as a chest infection.
is an example of what was changed.
The whole problem stems from the fact that people with autism have an autoimmune disorder.
Current scientific research from laboratories worldwide has demonst...
Because of this, the chances of autistic children suffering adverse affects from viruses, and therefore vaccinations as well, is far greater than normal children.
From what I can figure out, MMR vaccinations do not cause autism, but MMR vaccinations can very well have an adverse effect on children who already have autism. But what parent wants to hear their child was already autistic before receiving a vaccination.
Yeah, put Jack Van Impe in the rocket, but leave Rexella here. She's hot! Well, in a sort of inflatable doll, Stepford wife, automaton, mentally vacant, batteries not included, brainless way.
Maybe it isn't for this forum, but here's a little "hint" when Hinn or others pray for someone and that person is "slain in the spirit." The one being prayed for is standing with both feet together, and the one praying that touches them on the head simply gives a gentle push backwards. Unless they move one leg back to catch balance they will fall down every time.
This is a little game that the "full gospel" believers play with each other.
If the damage of non-vaccination were limited to the flock I would have no problem leaving them be. As their numbers began to dwindle I would certainly nominate them for the Darwin award. Unfortunately, their irresponsibility is a danger to the rest of us as it reduces herd immunity. As a result, it is our responsibility to point this out to anyone unclear on the concept.
I've been reading articles by Phil Plaitt on Slate. He's made it his mission to raise awareness regarding Jenny McCarthy. This issue goes beyond vaccinations. We're talking about the typical anti-science attitude of many theists.
Oh, and I have NO problem with ridiculing them along the way.
Thanks for saying this, although we're supposed to avoid invective that contains profanity and, well, invective. I rarely hesitate to call a turd a turd, and this guy certainly qualifies, although I do not think any more so than, say, Joel Osteen or Tony Perkins or Hagee or Parsley or...well, you know, the list does go on and on. There have been criminal prosecutions of parents who have let children die so that the family can adhere to its religious beliefs, and no, I am not talking solely about Christian Scientists. Usually, a doctor or hospital or public health official steps in before it happens, but it still happens occasionally. If I were a parent of a school child who came down with the by-now almost unheard of disease of measles (what's that?) and it could be proved that the child had contracted the illness from one of the megachurchgoers' children, I would sue for damages. There is no excuse in this day and age for this type of thing. Of course, what is illustrated is the battle of science and reason against belief and superstition. Although I would not be in favor of forced immunizations or vaccinations, I think the government could exercise some type of quarantine for these church people. I have to suspect the children of this church are "home schooled," which is fast becoming a euphemism for indoctrination into religious dogma at the expense of experience and critical thinking. Even in relatively backward Texas, we require school children to have shots before entering school. The nation may be headed toward a schizoid society, half permitted to use the faculty of reason and prepared for higher education with grounding in, among other things, evolution; the other half, half-witted, semi-literate, and emotionally and intellectually unprepared for coexistence with their better half. I despise this fool just as you do, but I'd like to think I would stop at calling him just that, a buffoon. To borrow from a cliche I absolute cannot stand but find useful in this instance, I feel your anger ("pain"). Hey, it comes with the territory when you live in the 21st century C.E. surrounded by saps who remain no more evolved than the 5th century B.C.E.
Yes, I must admit that idiots like Kenneth Copeland, Pat Robertson and the like really boil my blood and make me angry enough to bite railroad spikes in half. My language may have been a little over the top, but I just had to express it that way to really get my point across about how utterly angry such ass hats make me. I must say that all of the replies to this discussion so far are excellent, expressing great knowledge and understanding of the issue. Great replies. You're all very intelligent and informed, which I think is awesome.
Anthony, as far as I'm concerned don't hold back! I enjoy profanity and when someone swears, something inside me makes me like them a little more. And your passion is laudable.
Probably a completely separate topic - just thinking. Not meaning to derail. Why is the term for people born whose parents were not married to each other, an insult? They had nothing to say about it. I'll have to look into that. I would refer to Copeland as a dumbfuck, but then, why is the term for one of life's pleasures, such a great insult? I won't insult the developmentally delayed by using their condition as an insult. OK..... Dickhead? Oh well.
Shithead might do it. I need to be more creative in my swearing.

Dave's Rating:
Kids love giant boogers.
This is movie for children: somewhat older, kind of aggressive, vaguely feral children. Most "event" movies are these days. They have to be easy to understand so that they can be sold all over the world to audiences of all ages, have to aim for the lower middle (or lower) and, if possible, make a lot of clattering noise. This one does all of those things, emphasis on the noise.
Booming trailer pronouncements OF "YOU. DON'T. KNOW. JACK." aside, you know exactly what happens, give or take several layers of padding. Jack (Nicholas Hoult, Warm Bodies) is still a naive farm boy -- and points to the movie for keeping him sweet and brave instead of turning him into a smart-ass -- and he winds up trading a horse for magic beans that grow an enormous beanstalk. But at the top of that stalk is an entire race of angry giants who want an all-powerful crown that will allow them to rule the land below. Conspiring on the side of chaos is a royal functionary (Stanley Tucci, in the kind of role he can do in his sleep, like he's the Devil wearing Prada) who'll eventually rule the kingdom by marrying King Brahmwell's (Ian McShane) daughter, Princess Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson). Meanwhile, on the side of dashing heroism is a knight (Ewan McGregor, who knows exactly what movie he's in) determined not to let giants or traitorous court-dwellers ruin everything, the Han Solo to Jack's Skywalker.
There's no worrying about outcomes necessary when you're inside an entertainment-based machine like this. Everything is undemanding distraction. You get a wildly tangled, almost living beanstalk and some repulsive giants (they look like mucus-expelling sewer monsters and they spend a lot of time picking their pustule covered noses and creating flatulence, which any kid will tell you is the best thing a creature can do with his own disgusting body). There are some stylized animated effects that I hope didn't bankrupt the post-production houses and a reasonably fun (but too scarily violent for little ones) battle sequence to top it off before the happily-ever-after rolls around. But that's it and, target audience notwithstanding, that's never really enough. If you say it is then you're just giving it a pass.
As a vehicle for director Bryan Singer it's not much more than a sure-thing paycheck with sequel possibilities attached, one that feels like he was distracted by other concerns while making it. That's a bummer, because kid movie or not, there should be sparks, the smell of blood, the friction of characters bristling against one another. Instead you get a corporate product drained of personality, one where you can practically hear studio notes like "MAKE THE GIANTS FARTIER!" shouted from the sidelines, a charmless theme park ride that substitutes loudness for joy. Dried beans like this, they never really grow into much of anything.

An Olympic Return
By Frank Radosevich II
June 6, 2013
Sixteen Bradley students will intern this February with NBC for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia.
NBC interviewed 36 applicants in March before selecting the final sixteen, who were in competition with students from Syracuse University and Ithaca College. During the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, 10 Bradley students interned with the broadcast giant for the first time.
"We are pleased that the excellence of Bradley students continues to be recognized by NBC as demonstrated by their selection of our exceptional students as part of their 2014 Olympic intern team," said University President Joanne Glasser. "Experiential learning is integral to a Bradley education and enhances and enriches classroom learning."
Dr. Paul Gullifor, chair of the Department of Communication and the Henry Means Pindell Endowed Chair in Communication, said not only did NBC hire more Bradley students for the Winter Games but the broadcaster selected fewer interns overall for its production team.
"I am thrilled 16 were selected," he said. "Not only did our number of interns increase, our total share did, as well."
Students underwent rigorous preparation before meeting with NBC officials, including mock interviews with alumni, advice on resume writing and feedback from Slane College's faculty.
"It was a pleasure to be a part of this collaborative effort at Bradley," Dr. Gullifor said. "Everyone jumped in to help these students prepare their applications."
Six students will travel to Sochi, a Black Sea resort city in the southwest corner of Russia, to work at the games. They are seniors Jake Hermann, Lee Pikelny, Jonathan Teich, Frank Van Almsick and juniors Brianna Karls and Anna Wilks.
The remaining 10 students will work behind-the-scenes production jobs at the NBC Sports studios in Stamford, Conn. They are seniors Miles Himmel, Tim Lahey, Jesse Marczewski, Christopher Morgan, Laura O'Radnik and juniors Tyler Dalsin, Dominique Moore, Kelly O'Brien, Spence Siegel and Tim van Straten.
Interns will fulfill a variety of duties for NBC, ranging from front-line tasks in Sochi to behind-the-scenes production jobs in Stamford.
O'Radnik, a television arts and marketing major from Orland Park, Ill., is looking forward to her highly selective internship this winter. She said all the guidance and preparation from Bradley had her feeling prepared as she interviewed with NBC. Eyeing a career in broadcast television, she said working at the 2014 Olympics would suit her perfectly.
"I was pretty much in shock when I heard," she said. "I'm very grateful for this opportunity and I haven't heard of other schools offering similar chances."
As one of the students heading to Sochi, Pikelny said he and his fellow interns are ready for the challenge of working overseas.
"The Olympics are the pinnacle of sports and I'm looking forward to doing the best I can for NBC," he said. "There's nothing else I'd rather do."

Parachute jumpers, a 16-year-old daredevil and a sleeping security guard have made the site of the nation's tallest building -- and the nation's worst terrorist attack -- look dangerously easy to breach.
On Friday, the security chief for New York City's World Trade Center complex resigned, his company's spokesman confirmed in an email to the Los Angeles Times.
David Velazquez had been working since last August as assistant security director for the real estate firm Durst Organization. Velazquez and the company took over security of the World Trade Center in January, said Jordan Barowitz, the director of external affairs at Durst.
Velazquez is still with the company...

Textbooks FAQ
What's happened to Textbook Exchange?
It's changed it's name to StudentVIP Textbooks. And in the process we've drastically improved the site. You'll love the new site even more.
Does StudentVIP charge a commission?
Briefly, how does StudentVIP Textbooks work?
Sellers list their books for free.
Buyers search for free.
Buyers then contact sellers from the site to arrange to transact. There are three ways to transact;
- meet on your campus,
- meet in your city's CBD, or
- Australia wide with Australia Post COD service.
The site doesn't handle books or money and takes no commission - using the site is 100% free.
What textbooks can I sell?
You can only sell physical copies of the textbook.
Sellers: How much will I make?
You can list books at any price. We recommend listing most books somewhere around 50% off the RRP price for current editions. Offer a lower price for older editions.
Buyers: How much will I save?
Around 50% for current editions. Sellers choose the price they want to sell for. If the seller has entered the new book RRP price, the site will automatically calculate how much you save.
Smart search tips...
- The book's ISBN number is unique for every book edition. So it's the best search term.
- What edition do you want? You can save heaps more if you don't need the latest edition. Ask you lecturer if the previous edition is just as good. You'll save much more.
- BEST TIP: Search results are automatically listed by price. You can change this to have them listed by most recently listed. These are less likely to be sold already.
Is it safe to meet people in person?
You be the judge. If you're not entirely comfortable, don't.
It is probably best to meet during the day in a public place like a cafe and maybe take a friend and maybe get the other persons mobile number before you meet. Or alternatively, use the Australia Post COD service.
What happens when my used books are sold?
Login to the site and delete your textbook. That way no one will email you wanting to buy it. As a community space, keeping the database up-to-date is a good thing to do.
How does Australia Post COD work?
It's an easy way to buy and sell used books. The textbook is sent to the recipient who will then need to go to their local Australia Post branch and then pay for the item before they are allowed to collect it. You will cost a little extra to send a textbook this way but it gives both the buyer and seller confidence that the textbook and payment will arrive. Learn more about COD on the Australia Post website.
I've registered but can't log in?
- Click "forgot password" and get your login and password emailed to you. If you don't receive the email within a few minutes, you may have mistyped your email address when first registering. In this case you will need to register again with the correct email.
- Got the right login and email and still having problems: Empty the "cache" in your browser preferences.
What campus should Distance Ed students use?
For convenience, the site displays your "local" search results first - so the best thing might be to register at your closest campus, even if you're not actually enrolled there.
I've contacted a few sellers but they don't respond...
This is more common later in the semester after lots have books have already been sold. The best tip is to re-order your search results by "date listed" - that way you are looking at the most recently listed book.
I think the site is great - How can I help?
Want to put something back to our little textbook community? Here's two things that work;
Send an email to Helen on firstname.lastname@example.com and volunteer to put up some StudentVIP Textbooks posters at your campus - include your address. Helen will send you some posters and a surprise. The site's success is built on the members who volunteer to help.
Please get in touch with us, we'd love to help! Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com!

Momentum is building around the establishment of "IPBES" (Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services). This would work for biodiversity in a similar way that the IPCC does for climate change, supporting governments and other decision-makers with information to make decisions in response to the best available science, and not just political interests or rhetoric.
Much still needs to be agreed on, such as, is it the best way to improve biodiversity decision-making? how might it work? How will it be managed? Who will contribute with the relevant data? Some of these questions will be answered at a meeting convened by UNEP on 5-9 October, in Nairobi.
A major input for this meeting will be a document that analyzes the existing mechanisms and institutional gaps for making data and scientific information on biodiversity and ecosystems available to decision-makers. The "Gap Analysis" is open for comments by all stakeholders, including civil society until May 15. This is a unique opportunity for civil society to insert its views, particularly on the need for a credible, legitimate and relevant scientific interface on biodiversity and ecosystem services. The document can be downloaded at www.ipbes.net along with the instructions for reviewers.
Do not miss this opportunity to shape the future of biodiversity decision-making!

Hotel at a Glance: 2.5-Star Hummelstown Hotel
Founded in 1903 by candy magnate Milton Hershey, the town of Hershey, Pennsylvania, often draws comparisons to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory for its confection-themed amusements and fairy-tale-like setting. One of the attractions, Hersheypark, has more than 65 rides, including a roller coaster that goes from 0 to 72 miles per hour in two seconds. Just 2 miles from here is your hotel.
- Free hot breakfast of eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, and belgian waffles
- In-room amenities: 32-inch flat-screen TVs and free WiFi in all rooms, and refrigerators and microwaves in deluxe rooms
- Hershey Tanger Outlets is home to nearly 100 shops, including J.Crew, Coach, and the Disney Store.
- Get a workout: Access to a local fitness center is included in your stay.
Hershey, Pennsylvania: Chocolate Empire with Amusement Parks, Museum, and Tours
Hershey bills itself as "The Sweetest Place on Earth," a claim that's hard to dispute considering the whole town smells like chocolate. The confection empire dates back to 1903, when rags-to-riches entrepreneur Milton Hershey founded the area as a company town for his factory workers. These days, the town features candy-themed amusement parks and museums, and the factory churns out more than a million chocolate bars a week.
At Hersheypark, you can ride 12 roller coasters and float in inner tubes down a lazy river. Next door, the Hershey's Chocolate World trolley tour takes passengers to Milton Hershey's boyhood home and the mansion he built across from his factory. Even when you're not inside the park proper, you're reminded of the saccharine treat that earned Hershey his fortune—street lamps are shaped like foil-wrapped chocolate kisses, and swank city bars serve specialty cocktails inspired by the popular chocolate.
The area has a few sugar-free attractions as well. The recently opened National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg chronicles the war from both the Southern and Northern perspectives. Robert E. Lee's pocket Bible and Ulysses S. Grant's sword belt are among its more than 12,000 artifacts. And about 25 miles south of Hershey, the Amish community of Lancaster County is colored by pastoral farmlands, covered bridges, and horse-drawn buggies.

Test Kitchen-Approved
Author Notes: This technique makes starchy Russet potatoes act like creamy Yukon Golds, and also makes some of the crispiest edges we've ever tasted. It's a little like Jeffrey Steingarten's famous single-layer potato gratin, pared down to three ingredients. Recipe adapted very slightly from Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way (Workman Publishing, 2009). —Genius Recipes
Serves: 2 to 4
For the clarified butter
ounces unsalted butter (1 stick)
For the potato dominoes:
Idaho potatoes
tablespoons chilled clarified butter
Coarse salt
In This Recipe
- For the clarified butter:
- Slowly melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat; do not stir.
- Remove from the heat, and carefully spoon off any foam from the top.
- Pour the clear liquid butter through a fine-mesh strainer, leaving behind the solids in the pan.
- Once cool, the clarified butter can be refrigerated for weeks.
- For the potato dominoes:
- Heat a home oven (with the rack positioned in the center of the oven) to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat or use a nonstick baking sheet.
- Cut off the two ends of one potato and reserve them. Trim the 4 sides of the potato to form an even brick. Slice the potato about 1/8 inch thick on a mandoline, keeping the slices in order if you can (just like a line of shingled dominoes).
- Hold the stack of potato slices in the palm of one hand and use the other to shape them back into a brick -- as you would a deck of cards. Lay the stack on its side on the baking sheet, and put the reserved potato ends, cut side down, at either end to keep the stack aligned.
- Then, with the palm of your hand, angle the slices slightly to resemble a line of dominoes that has tilted over. Adjust the end pieces to keep the stack in shape, and align the slices if necessary. Dot the top and sides with 1 tablespoon of the clarified butter.
- Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, keeping the stacks at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are browned on the edges and tender in the middle when tested with a skewer. Serve immediately.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (July 29, 2013) – ETSU head football coach Carl Torbush announced Monday that former ETSU player and assistant coach Billy Taylor will be coming home to Johnson City to help launch the university's reinstated football program.
Taylor will return to the role of defensive coordinator at ETSU – the same position he held for the Buccaneers during the 2002 and 2003 seasons – while also coaching the new program's linebackers. Torbush said Taylor, who has spent the last five seasons as a defensive coordinator at Tennessee Tech, is a perfect fit for the upstart Buccaneers.
"I am tremendously excited to have Billy Taylor become our first assistant coach hire here at ETSU," Torbush said. "It's really amazing that he was here when the program was dropped, and now he will be here when the program is brought back. No one bleeds blue and gold more than Billy. He grew up in Morristown, played and coached at ETSU, and recruited the state of Tennessee, all of which make him a great asset and a perfect fit for our program.
"I received nothing but glowing recommendations from every head coach he has been with over the years. And Billy's morals, values, personality and coaching experience are a perfect for what I believe a football coach at ETSU should stand for. No one will represent ETSU any better and Billy will help us get to where we want to be with this program – which is competing for Southern Conference championships."
Taylor said returning to ETSU is surreal.
"I am so thankful that Coach Torbush has asked me to be on his staff and so very excited about coming back home to East Tennessee State University," said Taylor, who played for the Bucs from 1983 to 1987 before serving in a coaching capacity from 1997 to 2003. "ETSU football is part of my DNA and it means so much to be here during the start of our new program. To once again be an active member of the ETSU football team is an answer to prayer and is a dream come true."
"I just can't wait to get started. It's going to be such a great feeling walking into high schools wearing blue and gold colors with ETSU embroidered on my shirts. It's been a long time since I have had that privilege and it is something that I take great pride in."
Taylor also said he looks forward to bringing the ETSU family together – especially getting football alumni back in the fold.
"I want to reconnect with the ETSU community and with our football alumni," Taylor said. "I hope I can be a small part of getting more of us old Bucs involved with the program on both a personal and financial level. It's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work building this team and getting ready for 2015. It will be here before we know it."
During his five seasons at Tech, Taylor and his coaching staff installed the 3-4 system and had a huge impact on the team's championship fortunes in 2011. On the way to the OVC title, Taylor's Golden Eagle defense ranked first in the league in total defense and rushing defense, and second in scoring defense. Last year's team also ranked second in pass efficiency defense, third in interceptions and fourth in pass defense.
While at Tech, he also served as associate head coach, while directing the team's inside linebackers. He joined the staff in Cookeville back on Jan. 29, 2008. Three years ago, the Golden Eagles were first in the Ohio Valley Conference in turnover margin, and two years ago, the Tech defense ranked second in the OVC in interceptions and turnover margin.
Taylor, 48, came to Tech from Chattanooga, where he was the Mocs' defensive coordinator for three seasons. Taylor joined the UTC staff following the 2004 season, filling the role of defensive coordinator while also coaching the inside linebackers. Prior to his arrival at UTC, Taylor served as Elon's defensive coordinator and also coached inside linebackers for one year in 2004.
Nearly all of Taylor's collegiate coaching career prior to Tech was within the Southern Conference – working at both ETSU and Wofford. Taylor worked at ETSU from 1997 to 2003, coaching linebackers. He served five years as the recruiting coordinator and the final two as the defensive coordinator.
Taylor-coached defenses at ETSU and Elon forced an incredible 92 takeaways in three years from 2002 to 2004. His Buccaneer defensive unit led the SoCon in 2002 and 2003, and the Phoenix ranked second in the league in takeaways in 2004 with 25. His 2003 ETSU defense ranked among the top 30 in the nation in eight different defensive categories.
The Morristown, Tenn., native was an assistant coach at Wofford from 1991-96, working as the linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach at Southern Mississippi in 1989 and 1990.
Taylor earned a degree in Mass Communications from ETSU in 1988. He was a three-year starter as an outside linebacker for the Bucs and was voted team captain his senior year in 1987.
He is married to the former Kristine Renz of Easley, S.C., and the couple has two children, Mikaelah Jean, 15, and McKenzie, 12.

Arson is suspected in the blaze that gutted Stafford's former high school building Saturday night.
Arson is suspected in the blaze that gutted Stafford's former high school building Saturday night.
Fire crews were paged out just after 10 p.m., Saturday when a Stafford police officer spotted flames in the upstairs window of the abandoned building located across the street from the fire station.
Crews were dispatched from Stafford, Hudson and St. John initially, but shortly into the blaze an all call went out to any County firefighters that were available to respond. An aerial ladder truck was dispatched out of Great Bend to help with the three-story structure.
"We were overwhelmed by it," said Police Chief and Emergency Management director Doug Brown. "We couldn't fight the fire from the inside, it was just too dangerous."
Brown said the strong winds carried embers across the southern part of the town sparking at least a dozen grass fires including one at Chief Brown's home.
"We were just overwhelmed very quickly," he said.
The fire is believed to have started in the upper floors of the building, and as it burned the floors began collapsing onto the lower levels.
Water canons from the county's larger trucks sprayed water up the side and through the upper windows of the building. A ladder truck dispatched form Great Bend shot water through the windows with a remote nozzle on the end of the extendable ladder.
Brown was one of the many town residents that graduated from the school before it was vacated around 2000.
Brown stated the fire is under investigation, but he believes arson was probably the cause.
"We've had kids breaking into the building over the years," he said. "There were no utilities connected to it that might have sparked a fire so I suspect it was started by someone."
The former high school has been the site of vandals. Stolen bicycles were recently found stored in the building.
The fire has been turned over to the fire marshal for investigation.

Baruch College's Newman Real Estate Institute Leads Discussion to Advance Energy Asset Management Leadership as Part of New York Energy Week
NYC Energy and Sustainability Leaders to Discuss Integrated Retrofits, Energy Financing Solutions and Performance Assurance at June 25 Forum
NEW YORK, NY - June 20, 2013 - The Steven L. Newman Real Estate Institute at Baruch College, CUNY, and Associated Renewable Inc., will co-host a panel discussion as part of New York Energy Week (June 24 -June 28). The Energy Asset Management Forum, scheduled at 10 a.m., June 25 at the Institute, will feature renowned thought leaders from the private, public and not-for-profit sectors. These industry experts will identify issues and offer new thoughts and discussion covering integrated retrofits, sustainability reporting, evolving financing mechanisms and performance assurance methods that have spawned a revolution in New York City's built environment.
Heralded as "the dawn of a new age of innovation in energy" by NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New York Energy Week is recognized as the first truly cross-sector platform that brings together leaders and decision-makers in the energy industry to facilitate collaboration, investment and long-term partnerships. Each day of Energy Week is marked by events held citywide that will foster interest in and awareness of energy-related issues. The Newman Real Estate Institute is a founding academic entity in this important NYC initiative.
The Energy Asset Management Forum will explore energy retrofit solutions and financing issues in the commercial real estate market, widening the scope of the discussion to include the overall built environment comprising retail, educational, government, multi-family, office and other facilities. A panel of industry experts will provide diverse insights on specific areas of focus, including: retrofitting existing buildings to enhance long-term value, financing energy efficiency improvements for a quicker payback, the purpose of sustainability reporting and transparency, creative energy solutions that enhance asset values, energy efficiency technologies that present a high rate of return with minimized risk to investors, and market trends driving the growth toward higher renewable energy integration in New York's built environment.
"We are proud to be in the forefront of this critical discussion on an issue that will present both enormous opportunities and challenges," notes Jack S. Nyman, Executive Director of the Newman Real Estate Institute of Baruch College. "We are truly in a new era, and leaders in every sector, corporate, nonprofit, government and academia, will need to be armed with the best information available for Advanced Energy Performance in order to thrive and to best serve their constituencies in this new environment."
"By focusing on energy and buildings as assets to be managed, rather than as cost centers to be cut, we can scale energy-efficient, high-performance buildings to unprecedented levels," declared Robert K. Watson, CEO and Chief Scientist of ECON Group, who is also widely known as the "Father of LEED." Mr. Watson will deliver the forum's keynote address.
In concurrence, President and Director of Associated Renewable Inc., Edwin Apaloo, explains, "Collectively, we can leverage our best practices and experience to construct a foundation on which, in years to come, others could build upon to further the evolution of standards and emerging technologies in this sector."
Other renowned experts featured at the forum include Kristin Barbato, Deputy Commissioner & Chief Energy Management Officer, NYC Citywide Administrative Services (moderator of the panel discussion); Michael Colgrove, Director of the NYC Office, New York State Energy and Research Development Authority; Erin Rae Hoffer, Strategic Industry Relations, Autodesk, Inc. (Invited);�� Lloyd Kass, Director, "Build Smart New York" and Adjunct Professor, Columbia University; Adam Lutz, Real Estate Project Executive, Google Inc.; and Thomas W. Smith, Program Director, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Other panelists may be announced closer to the Forum date.

Visit the cycling venue at Atlanta's Stone Mountain Park soon after the Summer Olympic Games are over and you won't find a trace of the intricate 75-ton steel structure on which cyclists from around the world will have raced for gold. That's because this world-class velodrome was ingeniously designed with Mathematica to contain 236 unique sections that virtually "snap" together, and then come apart just as easily.
"Even though these 20,000 pieces of welded steel were never once assembled until they were delivered to the official cycling venue, we had complete confidence that they would fit together to form a perfectly closed loop," says design engineer Chris Nadovich. "All calculations for the track's shape--based on Fresnel integrals--and component specifications were done entirely in Mathematica. Achieving these precise results with the budgetary and time constraints we faced would not have been possible with any other software I've encountered."

30 Years Ago: Motley Crue's 'Shout at the Devil' Released
When Motley Crue released its sophomore album, 'Shout at the Devil,' on Sept. 26, 1983, they already wanted to rule the world. But they'd endured such desperate living conditions while scratching and clawing their way out of the Hollywood gutter, that just earning enough money to buy a sandwich probably still felt pretty damn exciting.
Sure, just one listen to 'Shout at the Devil' was enough to convince most anyone that it was bound to become a classic album. But Motley Crue did more than deliver on that conviction - they inadvertently captured the very zeitgeist of the looming commercial heavy metal revolution with the ultimate L.A. glam metal album.
Indeed, while early scene champions (and chart-toppers) Quiet Riot and even promising peers like Ratt or Dokken were fated to flare and fizzle relatively quickly, Motley Crue would successfully ride out the decade as the definitive '80s hair band - only challenged near the finish line (1988, to be exact) by Guns n' Roses' unprecedented, if altogether different, rise to global domination. Along the way, Motley miraculously skirted numerous disasters (Crue bassist Nikki Sixx's multiple overdoses, the Vince Neil car crash that killed Hanoi Rocks drummer Razzle, etc.) while delivering one multi-platinum album after another - but it all began with the template-setting 'Shout at the Devil.'
Recorded in the immediate aftermath of the band's signing to Elektra, following the impressive underground response to 1981's independently released 'Too Fast for Love' debut, 'Shout at the Devil' literally upgraded every aspect of the band's qualities: their songwriting, their image, the production - you name it. And while the black pentagram cover art, the title track, their 'Helter Skelter' cover, and Mick Mars' instrumental showpiece, 'God Bless the Children of the Beast,' all courted press-generating controversy with conservative groups, Motley Crue had their eyes ever set on the prize, delivering hits.
Yes, these were unquestionably provocative ('Too Young to Fall in Love,' 'Ten Seconds to Love'), dangerous ('Bastard,' 'Knock 'em Dead Kid,''Danger') and heavy ('Red Hot,' 'Looks that Kill') songs, but they were hits nonetheless: irresistible fusions of heavy metal power, punk rock attitude, and massive hooks crafted to infect all those who heard them. And then the provocative, androgynous band photos strategically placed in gatefold technicolor behind that aforementioned pentagram sealed the deal with female fans; marking Motley Crue as the first heavy metal band to truly cross over from the male to female audience, and automatically doubling the band's fan-base-building prospects.
All commercial considerations aside, though, 'Shout at the Devil' remains a spectacular LP in the purely musical sense - especially in light of the increasingly disappointing tunes that dominated subsequent albums, as chief songwriter Sixx channeled all of his energies into consuming drugs and other vices instead of producing great music. Luckily, he and his bandmates all managed to survive these travails long enough to turn their personal lives around and carry on prospering for decades (endless band breakups and makeups notwithstanding). But when all is said and done, 'Shout at the Devil' will undoubtedly stand as the be-all, end-all of Motley Crue's long career.

Was in NYC for the Super Bowl last weekend and missed watching CX Worlds. Did hear some of the drama, like Stybar showing up on a 2-yr old bike to win or it was cantis v. discs. The UCI's race edit is above and that's what CX racing is all about, just like the 13 Worlds in the States. It's the best racing in the bike business.
Tl;DR? Scrub to the final lap and see them battle it out.

Craig Morgan's Daughter Gets Married
Congratulations are in order for Craig Morgan! The singer took to his official Twitter account over the weekend to announce the marriage of his only daughter, Alex. "Watched my baby girl get married yesterday today my heart is warm but empty," Morgan tweeted Sunday about the bittersweet occasion. "May God bless them."
The young bride was surrounded by her entire family, including her father, mother Karen, and her three brothers, Jerry, Wyatt and and Kyle. No word on the identity of the groom. The Morgan family resides in Dickson, Tenn., just outside of Nashville.
Morgan is currently climbing the charts with 'This Ole Boy,' which sits at No. 15 after an impressive 43 weeks on the chart. The song is his first radio offering after signing with Black River Entertainment in 2011. An album of the same name was released on February 28.
"I feel the same way today as I did in April of 2000," Morgan tells Billboard about his newest release. "You look at every road we've taken, and I'm still here. We've had hits. We've had our ups and downs. This is my fourth record label in twelve years. A lot of guys get one shot. I just finished my sixth or seventh studio project, and we're about to have another huge hit. I think this will be my biggest selling album ever. We're looking at having our best first week of sales ever, and I've been on two major labels and another independent. So, I've had success."
Morgan is currently on the road promoting 'This Ole Boy.' Click here to view tour dates and ticket information.

Have to think so.Rumsfeld wrote:So what are the odds that Schroeder will ever be a bona fide top-six NHL forward?
He's shown flashes but at this point I'm thinking they're pretty slim.
At his size his skill level needs to be through the roof and it just isn't. 4 points in 9 games at the AHL level, for a guy with a full Season under his belt is just a very poor performance.
Starting to look like a terrible pick especially when you watch Tim Erixon and Markus Johansson play (the next 2 picks). Johansson in particular just looks fantastic.
He caught my eye a number of times at the game the other night, not just for his offensive flare but also his work on the PK.

Can you believe it?
After starting the week in scintillating fashion with a three-game shutout sweep of the Phillies, the Mets are in danger today of being swept by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Here's something to mull over: The Brewers had won only six home games this season, and could have half that with a victory today.
It has been a disappointing first two games, with Jerry Manuel pulling Johan Santana after eight scoreless innings Friday and Fernando Nieve spitting the bit yesterday, turning his start into nothing more than a long relief appearance.
It was infuriating to learn Manuel didn't consult Santana on how he was feeling before yanking him. What a disrespectful thing to do to the ace of your staff.
