Companies that insure Detroit bonds and stand to lose millions repeated a pledge Tuesday to aggressively challenge the city's bankruptcy plan, a day after retirees endorsed pension cuts and qualified for a bailout led by the state.
Syncora and Financial Guaranty Insurance said retirees and city workers are being given special treatment that's unfair to other creditors.
Pension cuts were approved in a landslide, according to results from 60 days of voting, which were announced shortly before midnight Monday.
General retirees would get a 4.5 percent pension cut and lose annual inflation adjustments. Some also have to repay a portion of generous annuity earnings from the last decade. Retired police officers and firefighters would lose only a portion of their annual cost-of-living raise.
The city said the cuts would be worse without $816 million in aid from the state of Michigan, foundations and the Detroit Institute of Arts. Money from the so-called grand bargain would prevent the sale of city-owned art and avoid deeper pension reductions.
No other creditors qualify for the money. Judge Steven Rhodes still would need to bless the deal after a trial on Detroit's overall bankruptcy plan, which starts Aug. 14.
"We are not surprised at the vote, given the grand bargain's illegal diversion of highly valuable assets to the very creditors who voted yes," James Sprayregen, an attorney for Syncora, said Tuesday. "We look forward to the confirmation hearing and demonstrating to the court that the plan cannot legally be confirmed given its unfair discrimination against financial creditors and other serious infirmities."
In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Sprayregen said Detroit is "giving us an essentially zero recovery."
Gov. Rick Snyder, who approved Detroit's bankruptcy filing a year ago and helped get state aid for pensioners through the Legislature, hailed the vote by retirees and city workers.
"It's a huge statement. ... I really appreciate them doing that. They are making sacrifices," he said.
Shirley Lightsey, 80, president of a retirees association, opposed pension cuts when the bankruptcy case began but said she switched when she became convinced the "city was broke."
She now hands out buttons that say, "You can't eat principles and uncertainty doesn't pay the bills."
Retired bus driver Art Vardiman, 63, voted no on the pension cuts.
"There's something screwy. I just can't believe it was a landslide," he said. "I guess I have to go out and look for a little job."

MACON, Ga. - Lipscomb forward Eddie Ard shouldered the burden offensively for Lipscomb as the Bisons won a pair of league games last week, earning Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week honors.
The junior needed to step up in Lipscomb's home game versus Mercer as fellow All-Atlantic Sun performer Brian Fisk missed the game with injury and the league's top three-point shooter Trey Williams logged just 14 minutes due to foul trouble. In response, the LaPlace, La., native scored 24 points against the Bears on 9-of-12 shooting from the floor to hand the Bisons their 17th consecutive win at Allen Arena. To cap the week, Ard overcame a tough shooting night to net a game-high 17 points in Lipscomb's crucial road win versus longtime rival Belmont.
The victory drew Lipscomb within a game of A-Sun co-leaders Belmont and ETSU while it snapped a 14-game home winning streak versus A-Sun foes for the Bruins. For the week, the preseason A-Sun Player of the Year averaged 20.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game while hitting 14-of-25 shots from the floor. Overall, Ard is second in the league in scoring (16.9 PPG) but is the A-Sun's top scorer in conference games, averaging 20.1 points per game. Ard is majoring in Marketing.
The Atlantic Sun Conference hands out Player of the Week awards weekly during the 2006-07 men's basketball campaign.
The 12-member league headquartered in Macon, Ga., consists of Belmont, Campbell, ETSU, Gardner-Webb, Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Lipscomb, Mercer, UNF and Stetson with Florida Gulf Coast and USC Upstate beginning competition in 2007-08.
• Brad Nuckles, ETSU (Sr. - F - Council, Va. - Sports Mgmt Graduate Program) Posted back-to-back double-doubles to lift ETSU into tie for first place
• Shaddean Aaron, Mercer (Jr. - F - Pomona, Calif. - Computer Science Major) Game-winning tip-in at buzzer highlights 21 points versus Campbell
• Jesse Kimbrough, Jacksonville (Sr. - G - Mexia, Texas - Graduate) Scored season-high 24 points on 11-of-12 shooting in win at Kennesaw State

As for me, well...it's based on the manga, not the series, but if you ask me, Kouta's the one who should get Seiji!

Ooo, I'm on pins and needles waiting for the last ep!
Midori meeting him in person is what I'm looking forward to the most. I couldn't imagine this anime having a sad ending with her being sullen and depressed... hopefully she will become more mature and self-confident. Whether a romance between them starts seems less important than that.

Midori no Hibi [Anime Discussion]
damn i knew something was off the minute they started deviating from the manga 13 episodes is not doing this series justice i mean i was looking forward to this as a comedy/romance sort of deal but they just started cranking out the filler and killed this. I mean takamizawa got more screen time than anyone they never showed Nao or her father which was my main reason for watching this, but they didnt bother instead we got stupid dream episodes about roles were switched and takamizawa finding some marin chan look alike. Kouta got raped he seems added towards the end as an after thought hopefully whatever company picks this up [im putting my money on gayneon] sees some potential and produced a second season like ai yori aoshi . they could have easily come up with 26 episodes. At least the manga was good and if ever licensed will buy those and pass on this. Anyway the end wrapped this interpretation of the manga rather fast it was a nice episode I wonder how they will handle the ayase/ midori/ seiji triangle now.

Really, you have to admire them for trying to make a somewhat coherent show from a gag-a-day manga such as MnH. Yes, there are something vaguely like story arcs in the manga, but for the most part this is simply adding more characters. If they did not deviate from the manga, they would end up with a very long anime that did not really tell a story. So I think it is OK this way. Of course, I am curious as to what they decided on, to bring a closure or leave it open.

... He was forced to look at her.
BTW, why does Midori love Seiji, again? I don't recall anyone ever mentioning it. Because she looked at him from a far and went to a different school and only heard rumors about how evil he was? Oh man, that makes me want to turn gay and bang him.

I think Seiji is supposed to be kinda good looking if you like them a bit unpolished. And I know one of my female friends has this attraction to not quite criminal "bad boy" types. It irritates me because she's really too good for that, but she doesn't seem able to help herself. Even if she suppresses it in her head, she can't do anything about her heart ... So yeah, I think it is quite realistic. Girls are just weird sometimes, we gotta deal with it.

ahahahahaha~ although i'm a girl, i'll have to agree with your idea: girls ARE weird when ever it's dealing with love. hahaha i remember that my first crush, i had liked/loved him for the longest time, yet i don't even know the reason why....haha same thing with my first bf..i loved him so much, but if some asked me why..i'll only be able to list a few reasons and then end up saying 'i don't know! i just love him!'.....haha....i guess there was something about them that attracted me..??..

The first 12 episodes are for gags (For fans' entertainment). The last episode is to end the series with a finale. Perhaps in the end the whole purpose of this anime is not to tell a story but to entertain us afterall ^^"

Just done watching the final episode, and I say it was a good ending. A mixture of happy and sad in situations.
Good job w/ AnimeEmpire's translation. I like the way they translated better than Seiichi's.

Having just watched it, I'm on a "good-ending to a series" anime buzz, so please excuse me if I gush.
I'm really happy I saw this anime. The concept was delicate, to say the least. I'm glad they made it a comedy with just enough love story to give it some weight. The gags were very well done, I think I'll give it an "excellent" rating in that area.
And thanks to the fansubbers! This quality of anime experience is why this is my favorite hobby, and it keeps getting better as time goes on!

Washington named USA Basketball assistant coach
Washington named USA Basketball assistant coach
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State Lady Lion basketball head coach Coquese Washington has been selected to be an assistant coach for the USA Basketball Women's World University Games Team this summer. She will serve with the team's head coach Sherri Coale of Oklahoma and assistant coach Brian Giorgis of Marist. The World University Games will be played July 8-15 in Kazan, Russia. The staff was selected by the USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team Committee and approved by the USA Basketball Board of Directors.
Washington is in her sixth season at Penn State and has led the Lady Lions to back-to-back Big Ten regular-season titles. This season, Penn State has maintained a Top 10 ranking all season in the USA Today Sports Coaches' Poll and owns a 25-5 overall record and 14-2 mark in Big Ten play heading into the NCAA Tournament. Under Washington's tutelage, the Lady Lions have produced 2013 Big Ten Player of the Year Maggie Lucas and three-time All-Big Ten first team selection Alex Bentley. In addition, current Lady Lions Nikki Greene and Mia Nickson have also earned All-Big Ten accolades, while Dara Taylor was recently named to the Big Ten All-Defensive team.
This is Washington's first coaching position with USA Basketball, but she served on the USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team Committee from 2009-12. She is the fourth person with Lady Lion ties to coach a USA Basketball squad, joining Rene Portland, Suzie McConnell-Serio and Terri Williams-Flournoy. Portland was the head coach for the Olympic Festival team (1985), the U.S. Junior World team (1986, 1996, 1997) and World University Games squad (1999). She was also an assistant for the U.S. Junior World Team in 1993. McConnell-Serio and Williams-Flournoy were assistant coaches on the most recent World University Games team in 2011.
Organized by the International University Sports Federation (FISU) and held every other year, the World University Games is a multi-sport competition open to men and women who are between the ages of 17 and 24 (born Jan. 1, 1989 through Dec. 31, 1995). USA Basketball considers athletes with remaining eligibility only.
Trials to select the 12-member team will take place May 16-19 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center (USOTC) in Colorado Springs, Colo., and approximately 35 players will be invited to trials by the USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team Committee. Returning home after trials conclude, the 12-member team, or finalists for the team, will resume training camp at the USOTC on June 25.
Including the USA and host Russia a total of 16 nations will compete in the 2013 World University Games women's basketball competition, which also will feature teams from Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Japan, Mongolia, Poland, Sweden, Taiwan and Ukraine.
USA Basketball women's teams have participated in 16 prior World University Games and collected a record eight gold medals, six silvers and one bronze medal. Further, since 1973, the first year the USA women competed in the WUGs, the United States has compiled a 95-15 record. In 2011 the USA, led by 2012 NCAA National Player of the Year nominees Elena Delle Donne and Skylar Diggins, as well as 2012 WNBA Rookie of the Year Nneka Ogwumike, posted a 6-0 slate en route to the gold medal.
Notable among the list of WUG alumni are 2012 Olympic gold medalists Seimone Augustus, Tina Charles, Sylvia Fowles and Maya Moore; as well as Olympians Carol Blazejowski, Ruthie Bolton, Anne Donovan, Pat Head (Summitt), Lisa Leslie, Katrina McClain, Suzie McConnell (Serio), Ann Meyers (Drysdale), DeLisha Milton-Jones, Cappie Pondexter, Ruth Riley, Katie Smith, Dawn Staley, Katy Steding, Tina Thompson and Lynette Woodward.
Chaired by Ohio State's Jim Foster, the 2013-16 USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team Committee includes NCAA appointees Melanie Balcomb (head coach, Vanderbilt University), Lindsay Gottlieb (head coach, University of California) and Joi Williams (head coach, UCF), as well as athlete representative Kara Lawson, a 2008 Olympic gold medalist who has been a part of nine USA Basketball teams.

Get Your webSite On Page 1 of Google
Contact our USA SEO Company today and we can analyze your website options. We have competitive pricing and will give you a realistic time-frame for results. Keep in mind that you are seeing this page because we are ranked high in Google for SEO-related terms. These are the most competitive since we go head-to-head with our competition to get the opportunity to work for you. If you're finding our site, this is a sign of what we can do to enhance exposure for your business.
What Can Our USA SEO Expert Team Do for You?
Okay, so you went to the trendy web designer and you've got a website now… But you haven't had a single visit aside from a few friends and maybe your mom. You paid a lot of money (right?) and you thought that you would have web site visitors and your business would pick up, but it hasn't. Welcome to the reality of internet marketing. First of all, your website designer probably doesn't know a damn thing about onsite search engine optimization (this elegant phrase essentially means preparing a website to be shown as a result in the search engines). Let's test this theory of ours.
- Go to GTMetrix.com
- Analyze the performance of your web designer's website (or other SEO agency your considering)
- Do they at least have "B" scores? If yes, maybe you're okay. If not, you've find the right USA agency to help you to the next step.
- Check out our website performance score: www.sapidagency.com
If your website is not search engine optimized, then it is unlikely that you will achieve Google page one ranking for your keyword phrases. If you're currently positioned on page 1 Google because of good backlinking practices, but your site is not optimized, you have a small window of opportunity to ensure that your website stays on page 1. As you can see in the image to the right, the top 5 search results dominate the majority of the website traffic. If your site is stuck on page 2 in Google, you're going to be fighting over 1% of the traffic along with all of your other under-optimized competitors.
Identify the issues that are keeping your site off of Google page 1.
Optimize your website pages for keyword phrases that drive traffic.
Get social media buzz happening around your products and services.
Know your USA team is working around the clock to rank your site.
If you are involved in a USA business, you must begin running campaigns to enhance your business visibility. The best targeted and least expensive clients to attain are on the internet, doing their homework and trying to find your website. But, can they find your website? Maybe, maybe not. And, it does not have to be that way when you start search engine campaigns.
How Does SEO Work?
SEO stands for search engine optimization. This is a process of enhancing the performance of a website and associating keyword phrases (search terms) with pages on a site. There are two major components to SEO: onsite optimization and offsite optimization.
Onsite Website Performance Optimization for The USA
The first – and perhaps most often overlooked step – is optimizing a website. If you want your website to be competitive and to essentially qualify for Google to list it on page 1, it needs to be the fastest site with the most thorough content. In the past few years, the criteria has changed greatly and even though you may occasionally see under-optimized websites on page one Google, they will not last very long as the competition is increasing on a daily basis. We have to ensure that the appropriate title tags (H1,H2,H3, etc.) are used, meta content is optimized, content includes LSI keywords, image optimization, caching, minification, and compression are activated. These are just a few of the required factors that add to a website's favorability for being ranked. Simply having a fast site that meets GTMetrix or Google PageSpeed requirements is not enough. This is only one half of the equation but it is a significant portion. Often testing is required to determine what mix of keyword phrases and headers generate the best results in Google.
Offsite Website Optimization and backlinking for SEO in The USA
Search engine optimization can include some overall server optimizations and having a decent server is important, but for the most part it has to do with the way that Google algorithms evaluate your website based upon the sites that link to it. For example, if your website has a lot of links on it from other sites that all use the keyword phrases that coincidentally your website pages are optimized for, then that is an immediate red flag for Google. This makes your site look like you've been attempting to game their ranking criteria and they don't like that. On the other hand, if your website has a variety of backlinks and social sharing on sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc. then it seems like an authority site within your specific niche. Without telling you our exact secret ingredients, our job is to get your website to rank on page one Google for your keyword phrases using a mixture of strategies that make it impossible for Google to ignore your site in the rankings.
Key Considerations for Working With One of the Best USA SEO Companies
High Quality Website Links Only
Fast Site With Quality Content
Visitors Stay On Site
Adjust Site for Desired Results
US Search Engine Optimization Experts
As online marketers, we know for a fact that if your business is not on the first page of Google for your keyword phrases you will be receiving less than 1% of the overall search traffic for your relevant terms. There is a lot of misinformation about doing SEO in USA and in most cases the worst approach is to try to do-it-yourself because of the amount of time it takes, the necessary systems to have in place, and the COST of making a mistake. In our comprehensive SEO service, we proactively move your site upward in the rankings and if/when we stop seeing upward movement we adjust our techniques and adapt to the feedback Google is giving us directly and indirectly. SEO is a fluid, adaptive process and search engine rankings will always move around on a month-to-month basis as Google algorithms are updated.

More Information
Why is USA Online Marketing Important?
Search engine optimization aims to achieve the objective of getting more website visitors to an internet site by aiding it get greater positions in the online search engine results. This simply implies that search engine optimization's goal is making a website show up on the very first pages, if not the initial web page of a search done with the online search engine.
The Internet has actually offered ways to reinvent how we live our day-to-days live. It has crawled right into the different dimensions of human services, communication, info circulation, individual partnerships and relationships. People have made a general change to utilizing internet sources to aid them in their everyday activities.
With this context in mind, people are continually having a hard time to get their websites noticed on the Internet. Internet sites are cropping up all over, every single hour. Exactly how can one's website be noticed among the millions of other sites – as well as ultimately be seen by its target market? The answer is through effective SEO.
There are two ways to be able to get seen by search engines. A great example of a pay-per-click system that is used by search engines is the Google Adwords system. The greatest bidders will obtain their sites to show up initially when the search is being done. The other means of getting high search results positions from search engines is through organic searches which requires SEO.
USA SEO Company
The main purpose of search engine optimization is to increase web traffic to a site. Websites are built to be seen by web browsers as well as search engines in order to attain this goal. A study showed that 90% of all Internet users use search engines to assist them in their Internet-related activities. Google, the dominant player in the search engine market, generates 70% of all search-related Internet activity.
People and search engines are alike in some sense. Search engines act like people trying to find something. They like websites which have substantive info about a specific subject. The ideal websites generally appear in an internet search engine because people like them as well as the online search engine's algorithms determine that the website has quality information about a specific topic. The habits of the search engine is a representation of the habits of the visitors who go to a website. What matters in many cases is the stickiness of the information (are people willing to share it socially) and the amount of time visitors spend on a website.
USA SEO Services
Using a search engine to be able to target one's target market is among the most efficient web marketing strategies. It is not like other internet advertising techniques (such as email advertising and marketing) which could lead to a lot of weaknesses in terms of targeting the right audience and causing them to convert. SEO is based upon attraction marketing, whereas email marketing is push marketing. Internet search engine sector the market and also link the appropriate people with each other. Internet users look for subjects which they are interested in and this is the major difficulty ofsearch engine marketing in connecting markets with each other.
USA Web Page Ranking
SEO ranking is essential for most niche websites. It does not only generate web traffic from the targeted audience, it is the most cost-efficient means of maximizing the web site's revenue potential. A persona or business can follow search engine optimization practices under the assumption that he or she fully understands what needs to be done and they are adhering to a specific plan or system. But most people don't know the basics about ranking a web page.. SEO is not a permanent process and it also has a long learning curve for newbies. This is why lots of people would resort to outsourcing SEO tasks to experts who are great at what they do. One needs to beware, nevertheless, in employing a SEO company or SEO professional. Aspects such as rates and service ought to be meticulously analyzed before signing an SEO contract. If done appropriately, search engine optimization is a very budget-friendly method of obtaining even more site visitors to learn about one's products or to understand about a specific problem that a website is addressing.

There is tremendous competition between job hunters, who are seen accessing all of their best arsenals (their qualifications, degrees and accomplishments) to enhance their prospects for work. With only a few free jobs being offered against thousands unemployed individuals, it is really tough to get the position without undertaking considerable effort. The same could be said about internet marketing.

Remember how the more we learned about ObamaCare, the more we would like it? Well, it seems the more we learn about this law, the less President Obama wants to talk about it. He relegated it to just a few paragraphs, tucked away near the end of his latest State of the Union political rally speech. And while he defended the law, he closed his health care remarks by begging Congress not to repeal it, and asking the American people to nag each other into buying his health plans.
My full response to the president's health care remarks are over at my Forbes blog, Darwin's Fool. Here's an excerpt:
Note what the president did not say: he did not say that [Amanda] Shelley would not have gotten the care she needed. That was already guaranteed pre-ObamaCare. If ObamaCare saved Shelley from something, it was health care bills that she couldn't pay. It's impossible to know from this brief account just how much that might have been. But we can say this: making health care more affordable for Shelley should not have cost anyone else their job. It may be that ObamaCare doesn't reduce bankruptcies at all, but merely shifts them from medical bankruptcies to other types of bankruptcies because more people cannot find work.
Actually, I should amend that. Making health care more affordable will cost some people their jobs, and that's okay. Progress on affordability comes when less-trained people (e.g., nurse practitioners) can provide services that could previously be provided only by highly trained people (e.g., doctors). When that happens, whether enabled by technology or removing regulatory barriers, prices fall – and high-cost providers could lose their jobs. The same thing has happened in agriculture, allowing food prices to drop and making it easier to reduce hunger. My point was that we should not be making health care more affordable for Ms. Shelley by taxing her neighbor out of a job.

Intimate Details – A Conversation with Lighting Designer Curtis Mueller
Curtis Mueller knows better than to be fooled by simplicity.
When asked to design lights for Intrepid's production of Oleanna (which is now currently running at the Clayton E. Liggett Theatre in Encinitas), he was careful not to presume that a two-person play set in the round would be an easy show to design.
"The challenge with this play is that it's so focused on just a conversation really, one wouldn't think that it would be that challenging," says Curtis. "But from a lighting perspective, you are really trying to underscore certain moments of the show, depending on that conversation."
Having designed for Intrepid's past productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream: the Musical (2012) and Hamlet, which just closed in February, Curtis was up to the task of switching gears from these bigger ensemble pieces to Mamet's intimate office wordplay.
"Scenically, we're in a professor's office, so we're trying to figure out ways to make each scene look different, but still not going too far from reality," he said, explaining that the lighting will play a big part in portraying both the development of the story as well as the passage of time from one act to the next.
"The opening of the show is just a simple conversation," he says. "The audience doesn't know what it's going to escalate to yet, so we have more of an isolated look to it."
Using the idea of the office windows and playing with the amount of sunlight coming through the blinds is one way in which Curtis plans to tell the story, although without an actual window onstage to work with, this gets tricky. Enter special effects created by lighting gobos that douse the stage with dappled sunlight on cue.
"By the end of the play, the scene is fully exposed, wider and open," says Curtis. This brighter lighting also serves to "expose" the action as the play culminates into its most heated moments.
The specifics of these lighting choices will also serve to distinguish each act. Since the actors never leave the space and the set never alters, the challenge is making sure that the audience understands that each act takes place in a different time.
"We made a point that passage of time would affect the lighting design because we don't want to have the feeling that nothing changes at all – especially with the way the play progresses, and the characters develop, and argument continues," he says.
Working in the round also presents its own set of challenges, as the designer has to make sure that the actors and the set are cleanly lit from all angles and from all audience perspectives. Additionally, the blocking – or the movement of the actors – is different from a traditional stage, so there is extra pressure for the lighting to be uniform no matter which direction the actor is facing.
Given these challenges, this piece is a far departure from its surface simplicity, Curtis acknowledges. "We can really strip everything away and focus on the details," he says. "I'm actually excited by the simplicity of it." — T.T.
Oleanna is a special engagement that runs through April 14 at the Clayton E. Liggett Theatre in Encinitas, CA. Tickets can be purchased here.

Based on how the Hall of Fame results went down Saturday, former Raiders wide receiver and return specialist Tim Brown probably has no better than an outside chance to make it next year when voting takes place in Indianapolis.
There's no carry over from year to year in terms of voting, of course, but it's worth noting that five players who made it to the final cutdown ahead of Brown will also be up against next year _ Pittsburgh center Dermontti Dawson, Seattle defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy, Jets and Patriots running back Curtis Martin, Bills wide receiver Andre Reed and Saints and Chiefs left tackle Willie Roaf.
That puts Brown, Cris Carter and Reed all competing again as wide receivers, of which there are only 21 in Canton. Only five modern era players can be selected each year. The only notable addition next year is Denver's Rod Smith, who would seemingly be a cut below Brown, Carter and Reed.
It's clear the Hall of Fame committee has taken into account liberalized passing rules, because both Carter and Brown compiled huge numbers and didn't make the final cut. Carter is third all-time with 1,101 receptions, eighth in yardage with 13,899 yards and fourth with 130 touchdowns. Brown is fourth in catches (1,094), fourth in yards (14,934) and tied for sixth in touchdowns (100, with Steve Largent).
Brown and Carter are superior statistically to Reed (951 receptions, 13,918 yards, 87 touchdowns) but didn't make it as far in the process.
You wonder what that will mean in five-plus years for Terrell Owens (1,078 catches, 15,934 yards, 153 touchdowns) and Randy Moss (954 catches, 14,848 yards, 153 touchdowns) when their time comes. Their touchdown totals are huge _ they're tied for second behind Jerry Rice _ but they were magnets for controversy and compiled huge numbers without winning a Super Bowl ring.
The two most notable first-time eligible candidates next year are former Giants, Jets, Patriots and Cowboys coach Bill Parcells and Kansas City guard Will Shields, a 12-time Pro Bowl selection.

Cross one team off the list in the developing Jason Babin derby.
NFL Network's Rebecca Haarlow spoke to a team source Wednesday who said the Atlanta Falcons have "zero" interest in acquiring Babin, the pass-rushing defensive end released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday.
The Falcons seemed like a logical landing spot because they're a playoff contender with a need for help across from John Abraham. The Falcons cut pass rusher Ray Edwards this month but felt comfortable with that decision because of the emergance of Kroy Biermann, who has bloomed into a productive starter at left defensive end.
CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora also reported three other teams -- the Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns -- don't plan to claim Babin off waivers by Wednesday's 4 p.m. ET deadline.
It wouldn't be surprising, from a financial angle, to see Babin clear waivers. Then his contract can be negotiated. The Falcons might be apathetic, but more than a few teams are expected to pounce on the defender if he becomes a free agent. He wasn't himself this season, but Babin is one year removed from an 18-sack campaign, and teams will be willing to see if they can flip the switch.
Pass-rushing help -- at this stage in the season -- is like a golden coin found below a rock. Rare but treasured.

NewsMax Teleconference: Romney Is Going To Win Easily, But Is Also In Trouble, So Give Dick Morris Money
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
Fox News political analyst Dick Morris, whose Super PAC for America has recently been flooding inboxes with countless fundraising appeals, changed venues for his solicitations this afternoon by participating in a "critical election teleconference" hosted by NewsMax.com.
The discussion, access to which cost listeners $4.95 in order to "cover the expense ...to set up your private line," was billed as an opportunity to give NewsMax subscribers "the latest campaign information, how you can still impact the race, and how you can prepare for what is about to happen on Nov. 6." In reality, the call was little more than an elaborate plug for Morris' super PAC, couched in a meandering and often self-contradictory conversation about the state of the presidential race.
Joining Morris for the discussion were his Super PAC for America cohort Michael Reagan along with, for reasons that weren't made clear, the "very famous" author Robert Wiedemer. Morris, who has recently been predicting a "landslide" for Mitt Romney, sounded notably less confident, cautioning that he did not "want to pretend that everything is perfect, because I'm very concerned today." Citing the November 2 Rasmussen daily tracking poll showing a tied race, Morris expressed concern that Obama's response to Hurricane Sandy has helped him in the polls, a conclusion that directly contradicts the fundraising pitch Morris made right before the hurricane struck, in which he predicted voters "will see right through" Obama's attempt to "look presidential" in the face of the storm.
However, despite warning at the call's outset that he is "very concerned today," when the conversation shifted to electoral predictions, Morris was once again bullish about Romney's chances. He predicted Romney wins in nearly every swing state, except for Nevada and New Mexico, "if you consider that a swing state."
Asked what people can do to help Romney heading into the final weekend, Morris shifted seamlessly into soliciting donations to Super PAC for America. "We're sitting here in the trench firing mortars, folks, and we need shells. ... Right now if you contribute today, in this phone call, we will put that money directly into Monday night advertising in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and make a big difference " After being informed that people could not donate over the phone because the call was a "news briefing," Morris and Reagan both repeatedly directed listeners to SuperPacforAmerica.com so they could empty their wallets.
Morris particularly wanted money to help in Pennsylvania, where he said he is currently campaigning and where his Super PAC had effectively executed a "flanking maneuver." In Morris' view, "we're in better shape in Pennsylvania than we are in Ohio" thanks in part to Hurricane Sandy possibly depressing Democratic voters in the state's eastern half.
To sum up Morris' pitch: the race is close and also not close, and there are danger signs but Romney is also going to win almost every swing state. But to be extra sure, you should give money to Super PAC for America.
In recent weeks, Morris has repeatedly twisted news events into reasons to donate to his Super PAC for America. In addition to his cynical pitch tied to Hurricane Sandy earlier this week, Morris blatantly flip-flopped on who he considered the winner of the vice presidential debate in order to ask for money.

Susan and Bobby Clarkson announced the engagement of their daughter Courtney Lauren Clarkson to John Reid McLarty last weekend at a party at their home in Anchorage.
Courtney graduated from Ole Miss '11 and works for Saks Fifth Avenue in Birmingham. She was a Pi Phi and met John Reid McLarty, a Phi Delt who graduated from Ole Miss '10. He is the General Sales Manager in Birmingham for Tom Williams BMW.
Courtney and John met her sophomore year at Library Sports Bar in Oxford (following a three generation family tradition!).
Among the guests attending the engagement party were Davis Edwards and Steve Bass, Margaret and Dan Woodside, Wayne Jenkins and Steve Van Hooser, Kelly and Jerry O'Daniels, Mary and Brian Lavin, Fran Jasper, Joey Seay, Melissa and Bob Manouchehri, Rita and John Ellis, Mark Eliason, Alyson and Glenn Sullivan, Joan and Paul Casi, Rosemary and Charlie Middleton, Rachel and Doug Vetter and a hoard of other friends.
The wedding will take place May 18 of next year at St. John's Church of Christ with the reception, dinner and dancing at The Henry Clay. The rehearsal will take place the night before with dinner and dancing at the Derby Museum. The out of town guests will be entertained with a welcome reception of Bourbon, Bluegrass and BBQ the night before that.
The Fillies
The Fillies are hard at work on their Derby Ball, which will be held Friday, April 19, at the Galt House Grand Ballroom.
The ball supports the Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance for many charities in our community. The all-important Festival program is in the most competent hands of Merilyn Coslow this year.
Ball chair, Barbara Hood and her co-chair Nancy Rust have planned a wonderful evening with a few surprises! Vickie Hillerich is in charge of the presentation of the princesses, the spin of the wheel and the coronation.
Derby expert Becky Biesel is in charge of the centerpieces and they ought to be either fun, beautiful or both. Becky is known as the go-to purveyor of all things Derby. Right along side of her is Beverly Pendleton, who is responsible for the collectible Fillies Derby Ball Pin. The silent auction was such a success last year that it will be repeated this year. Amy Hoffman is seeing to it that there will be a coffee bar and sweets late in the evening.
The Sons of the American Revolution have completed the most spectacular new genealogical research library on Main Street and now they are planning a museum next to it. Plans for the new museum, which will be one of the gems of this city, were revealed at several SAR Advisory committee luncheons at the Louisville Boat Club. The $10 million dollar Capital Campaign for its construction is well on its way to fruition, being past the half-way mark.
David Sympson is the past president of the SAR and one of its most active cheerleaders. Among those serving on the Advisory Committee are Sheridan Cornett, Jean Frazier, Steve Tipton, Lowry Watkins, Jr. and Sam Swope. At the meeting Sam, who is engaged to Marlys Wearren, confided that the wedding date will be Oct. 14.
The SAR along with the American Legion are the keepers of our history as a nation. They have great programs that will teach our children how we got our freedom, our country and even our lives.
They are also the keepers of the knowledge of how our ancestors fought for freedom, the freedom that we enjoy every day. They constantly remind people, through their educational programs, of the values for which America stands. They have an outreach program that is wonderful.
The SAR believes in carrying patriotism forward and they need help. Anyone who wants to help may make a gift to the SAR Foundation, Inc., 1000 S. Fourth St., Louisville, Ky., 40203.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) If Texas Tech thought Oklahoma was a good test for its revitalized defense, one has to wonder what the Red Raiders are thinking about No. 5 West Virginia coming to town.
Texas Tech's defense allowed 41 points through three quarters in a home loss to the Sooners last weekend - just two points shy of what it had allowed to everyone else combined in the first four games of the season.
Now the nation's No. 2 defense will face Mountaineers quarterback Geno Smith, running back Andrew Buie, and two of the best receivers in the country, Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin. West Virginia is averaging 570 yards of offense a game. Oklahoma was averaging 492 before beating the Red Raiders 41-20 last Saturday.
``In this game we feel like we'll be able to come out a lot faster in the first half so we don't have as many mistakes and we'll be able to perform a lot better,'' senior safety D.J. Johnson said.
The Red Raiders (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) gave up more points than OU had averaged coming into the game (37 points). West Virginia (5-0, 2-0) is averaging 52 points.
Texas Tech leaped to the top of the defensive stats nationally this season after three wins against lesser opponents (Northwestern State, Texas State and New Mexico) and a victory at Iowa State. That's a complete reversal from last season when the Red Raiders finished near the bottom in several defensive categories.
Improvement from the OU game is vital if the Red Raiders hope to slow the Mountaineers, Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. Against Oklahoma, the defense gave up 150 yards after contact on runs and pass completions, and allowed touchdown passes on two third-and-longs, he said.
``We've got to get back to making sure that we play the way we played in the first four games on defense,'' Tuberville said. ``It wasn't anything other than the fact that we just got there and didn't make plays.''
The challenge begins with Smith, the nation's most efficient passer. Last week, the senior threw for 268 yards and four touchdowns in West Virginia's 48-45 win at Texas. For the season, he's thrown 24 touchdown passes and has not been intercepted in 204 pass attempts.
Buie last week was the balance to Smith's 35 pass attempts. The sophomore got a career-high 207 rushing yards on 31 carries and added 66 receiving yards. Then there's Bailey and Austin, who combined for 177 receiving yards on 18 catches against the Longhorns. Bailey is No. 2 in the country (142 receiving yards per game) and Austin is third (132 yards per game).
West Virginia coach Dana Holgerson, who was a receivers coach and co-offensive coordinator with Mike Leach at Texas Tech from 2000-2007, said he and his staff have spent hours looking for creative ways to get first downs against the Red Raiders. The offense, he said, is going to have to play as well as it has all season.
``They're technically sound,'' Holgerson said of Texas Tech's defense. ``That poses problems when you don't know what they're going to do. That aggravates you from a game-plan standpoint. We can come up with a bunch of plays, but it's just hard to execute against them.''
Johnson said the run-pass threat of Smith, his receivers and Buie is an opportunity.
``It gives us the challenge, gives us the chance to show what we can do,'' he said. If ``we can tackle the pass and contain it as much as we can and force them to run the ball and force them to be one-dimensional, I feel we'll affect them greatly.''
Against Oklahoma, the Red Raiders' defensive woes began early. Texas Tech watched as Oklahoma put together a 12-play drive on its first possession that included three third-down conversions - the last a third-and-10 from the Red Raiders' 13 that resulted in a touchdown pass from Landry Jones to Justin Brown.
The rest of the way, the Red Raiders gave up field goals or touchdowns on drives of nine, eight, six (twice) and 10 plays. The biggest drive came after Texas Tech gambled and failed on fourth-and-5 from the OU 36 early in the second half. The Sooners sacked quarterback Seth Doege for a 10-yard loss and the short field quickly led to 31-13 lead after a 1-yard run by Blake Bell.
``In this league, as tough as it is, you're not going to be able to bring your `A' game every week,'' Tuberville said. ``We hope we bring it this week, because we obviously didn't bring it last week.''

Becoming Browder Springs HallPublished on Wednesday, March 07, 2012
It doesn't look like much yet, but the changes underway in Browder Springs Hall are pretty thrilling. But wait–Browder Springs Hall? Is there a new building at the Village? Nope, Browder Springs Hall is the recently rechristened Print Shop. We've talked before about how recurrent flooding is changing the way we interpret Main Street. The Print Shop has always been one of the most vulnerable buildings, but when the water was rising, we couldn't exactly move that equipment out of the way. Cleaning up after a flood wasn't easy either, and so we made the decision a few years ago to find a new, better home for the printing equipment showcased in that building. Some of it went to other museums, and some of it went to artists. And we were left with a ver ..

Just Bought A Bunch Of Stuff To Clean The Car...
raskL replied to jg321's topic in Ford Focus ClubI've used loads of the stuff mate and for good paintwork the best I can find on a budget is autoglym super resin polish then g3 resin wax, if your after spending a bit more same polish but basically the best swissVax wax you can afford
Electric Issue When Changing Gear?????
raskL replied to uksimon's topic in Ford Focus ClubHi welcome mate, I can't personally see why a gear change from 2nd to third would cause this maybe try a little drive going 1st 2nd 4th see if it still happens. If not can you give more details ?
Rear Tyre Tread Wearing On The Inside
raskL replied to ironmanles's topic in Ford Focus ClubIf you get your tyres done by a major garage they will put in the factory recommended settings sometimes they need tweaking slightly for extra weight (big sound system in boot?) if not as tomo said pressures. After that all the wheel values need checking
Mondeo Zetec Tdci 2006 2.lt (130)
raskL replied to TINNY789456's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubYep, the way your describing things tho mate could just be a nackered cell in battery maybe worth trying a new one
true, but by getting a standard pre written map would make the most of his current setup and then adding other parts wouldnt change much realy as the updated software is no longer looking for efficiency, and if you go to someone like superchips or dream science (this would be my advice) then they have about 4 maps wich are then free of charge after that, for instance you just get the standard remap then if you replaced exhaust + downpipe + air filter + intercooler you can get a stage 2 map and so on.

Is It A Good Idea?
raskL replied to piper's topic in General Ford Related Discussionsdont mean to sound sarcastic here but probably a better bet to run diagnostics before you buy :P
yeah, the first thing you should do is to remap the ecu, theres loads of decent places out there or you can buy your own console from someone like superchips, youll get instant power and torque gains and then you can do custom mods from there, if you just put a big exhaust on and upgrade the intercooler and intake you probably wont notice any difference, the point is that these engines are still tuned to get fuel effieciency and to run on lower grade fuels than we have in the uk, so increasing airflow and stuff can actually make the engine back of slightly the ecu is constantly monitoring everything from air / fuel mix right down to emisions and tempratures so if airflow is increased, the engine doesnt need quite as rich of a mixture of petrol etc etc... the point is in my opinion remap and then go from there :D
Best Polish To Use For Getting Scratches Out
raskL replied to Charlie1910's topic in General Ford Related Discussionsthe best and cheapest solution is to go down to halfords take your colour code in should be inside drivers door on a sticker, theyll mix you some paint in a little pot and give you some laquer. get a realy small art style paint brush and put tiny amounts in the scratches till its about level , you wont get this perfect but dont worry. leave it for a good 3 - 4 hours. get some medium grade polish like t-cut or scratch restore, polish it with finger on a cloth and concentrate just on the small area close to the scratch, when it looks blended in put a small amount of laquer on (need a steady hand for this as it can look a bit crappy if you get it over existing good paintwork) then go over whole car or area with a light polish, i recomend g3 or autoglym resin polish. thats the best finish you'll probably get by hand.
Newbie (Hi All ) Needs Focus Advice Pls
raskL replied to Andyman's topic in Ford Focus Clubyeah i also have the 1.8 diesel in my eyes who cares about the noise? youve bought a diesel they all sound crap :D , you cant hear it in the cabbin with the stereo on, its a bulletproof engine had mine since 2007 its done around 95k only had to replace a rubber hose :). pitmonster: best diesel engine ive driven has gotta be the jtdm 170 in the new alpha giulietta for all around performance and economy. tried the whole bmw range inc 320 330 335 , the bmw's are quick and everything but as soon as you put your toe down you see those mpgs dropping to 4 and 5 hah its painfull
50P Off A Litre At Tesco!
raskL replied to Steven33's topic in Ford Focus ClubI have a bit of a thing with tesco fuel i cant conclusivley prove it but heres what evidence i have so far : just lately (this will be the fifth french car comming in with same problem) a customer brought in a pug 206 gti 180 and said the antipollution light keeps comming on, we went through everything as usual couldnt find anything apart from a slightly over dirty fuel filter for the mileage. changed it gave the engine a thorough clean drained existing fuel and went and put £10 of shell v power in, took it for a 15 mile test drive, everything was fine no problems. so signed it off and customer was happy. 3 days later came back with same problem this time we checked everything from fuel system to sensors nothing doing, anyway one of the rac guys came in with a car and we had a chat, he said "I bet you its that crappy tesco petrol, my mates a tanker delivery driver and they use the worst grade posible". so i phone the customer back and after a good chat he thinks this could have been happening after filling up at tesco alot lately, and the light comming on seems to be about the same time, so 3 days later he calls back in and says its never happened since ive been filling up at morrisons :D. like i say this is the 5th or 6th time we had this problem and couldnt resolve it, i cant say anything about the diesel, but maybe something to think about.
I have more or less the same one on my 1.8 tdci and ive replaced it with a pipercross cone, this is all contained like standard inside the factory air box. its more for performance as i have a remap and tbh the intake sound on a diesel doesnt sound that good. in theory you could take the top of the airbox and leave the filter in aslong as its properly secured the only point of the filter is to stop particles being sucked in, the factory airbox is designed to quite down the intake along with other things, and tbh in my experiance there isnt much noise difference between aftermarket filters, you'll only hear the intake sound properly under medium to hard acceleration. If you have the money the full induction kit will be best and as artscot says a heat shield of some sort would help.
depending on the price range and counting out performance as you just want noise ? basically if you look under the bonnet, theres a big sort of rectangular black box with a big pipe comming from the front grill 'cold air feed' inside there is your air filter, this box also works as sound proofing you can remove this box and replace it with a universal performance filter from somewhere like halfords. basically screw that to the pipe where the box would be, and hey presto you'll have a throaty intake noise, but these are known for things like 'heatsoak' i.e dragging in warm air from the egine bay wich is not great for performance, the colder the air the more dense it is thus better explosion, for performance and noise you should get a full intake system from someone like pipercross. hope that helps mate :)

Led Zeppelin's Attempt To Recoup Trial Legal Fees Denied
Led Zeppelin has lost its bid to recover legal fees and other costs in its defence against claims the intro to "Stairway to Heaven" was lifted from Spirit's "Taurus."
The band, seeking fees totalling $793,000, argued the lawsuit was frivolous, claiming in part that awarding defence costs would deter future meritless copyright claims.
In Los Angeles federal court on Monday, Judge R. Gary Klausner rejected those arguments, saying he had found the lawsuit had enough merit to go to trial and there was no evidence the plaintiff "harboured nefarious motives."
The trust for the late Randy Wolfe -- who performed under the name Randy California -- failed to prove back in June a claim that guitarist Jimmy Page and singer Robert Plant stole the riff for "Stairway" from "Taurus," an instrumental Wolfe wrote as a member of the band Spirit.
The plaintiff's attorney has appealed the jury's verdict in the Led Zeppelin case.

What they were saying about the religious liberty of Christians in the 1970's:
39. The necessity of ensuring fundamental human rights cannot be separated from this just liberation which is bound up with evangelization and which endeavors to secure structures safeguarding human freedoms. Among these fundamental human rights, religious liberty occupies a place of primary importance. We recently spoke of the relevance of this matter, emphasizing "how many Christians still today, because they are Christians, because they are Catholics, live oppressed by systematic persecution! The drama of fidelity to Christ and of the freedom of religion continues, even if it is disguised by categorical declarations in favor of the rights of the person and of life in society!"[Address given on 15 October 1975: L'Osservatore Romano (17 October 1975).]
It is good to recall that in the 1970's there was a stronger sesen of the mission apostolate as taking place in the Third World. While aware of the issues of inactive believers in the Christian West, I'd have to say this document seems greatly concerned with reaching those who do not know Christ.
I'm also aware than many of my sister and brother believers in the US perceive a sense of religious persecution or have been convinced by ideologues that such a persecution exists. What Pope Paul VI speaks of in this section would not be this modern sense of persecution. What American or European Christians perceive is much more the natural conflict between Christian and non-Christian values as lived out in the world. My sense is that one factor is the general mob suspicion of non-conformity. Christians are singled out much in the same way a milk drinker is taken notice of in a school lunchroom where everyone else is sipping soda.
Believers make choices. Choices have consequences. In the West, those consequences are almost always minimal in comparison to places where Christians die for the faith. Better not to insult the memory of martyrs unless one is actually becoming one.
