Milk Jug Keep Away
If you've got extra milk jugs laying around your house, why not put them to use? Beat summer boredom with this activity that uses milk containers and old newspaper to create a fun and competitive game of catch or keep away! Toss a ball between two players, catching it in a gallon milk jug! You'll teach your child about recycling by using old items to create a whole new game. It's a great activity to beat boredom and stay active.
What You Need:
- 2 empty plastic milk or juice containers, gallon-size
- Masking tape
- Crumpled newspaper
- Scissors
What You Do:
- Cut about four inches off the top of the plastic containers to make scoops. Be sure to leave the handles intact.
- Help your child cover the sharp plastic edges with strips of masking tape.
- Hand your child an old piece of newspaper and invite him to crumple it into a ball. Maintain the shape by covering it with masking tape.
- Start the game with four players, two on each team, and give each player their own container.
- Mark a spot for a goal on either side of the playing area, and have each team start on its own side.
- The object of the game is to keep the ball away from the opposing team by tossing it between players while trying to cross over to the other team's goal. If the ball lands on the floor, scoop it up with the jug! Each goal equals one point.
- The first team to score 3 points is the winner! Another less-competitive alternative for this game is to play "catch" using the jugs in place of mitts. That way, everyone has an equal chance to scoop and toss! Play indoors or outdoors with two or more players.

Death of Martin Luther King, Jr...
Item # 604620
April 6, 1968
THE PARSONS SUN, Parsons, Kansas, April 6, 1968
* Martin Luther King Jr. assassination (2nd report)
* America riots - protests
The front page has a one column heading: "Net Is Spread Far for Killer Of Dr. King".
Also a three column headline: "Capital Torn Anew By Arson, Looting" with subhead (see photos).
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 16 pages, a few small binding holes along, nice condition.
wikipedia notes: On March 29, 1968, King went to Memphis, Tennessee in support of the black sanitary public works employees, represented by AFSCME Local 1733, who had been on strike since March 12 for higher wages and better treatment. In one incident, black street repairmen received pay for two hours when they were sent home because of bad weather, but white employees were paid for the full day.[99][100]
On April 3, King addressed a rally and delivered his "I've Been to the Mountaintop" address at Mason Temple, the World Headquarters of the Church of God in Christ. King's flight to Memphis had been delayed by a bomb threat against his plane.[101] In the close of the last speech of his career, in reference to the bomb threat, King said the following:
And then I got to Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers? Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.[102]
King was booked in room 306 at the Lorraine Motel, owned by Walter Bailey, in Memphis. The Reverend Ralph Abernathy, King's close friend and colleague who was present at the assassination, swore under oath to the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations that King and his entourage stayed at room 306 at the Lorraine Motel so often it was known as the 'King-Abernathy suite.'[103] King was shot at 6:01 p.m. April 4, 1968 while he was standing on the motel's second floor balcony. The bullet entered through his right cheek smashing his jaw and then traveled down his spinal cord before lodging in his shoulder.[104] According to Jesse Jackson, who was present, King's last words on the balcony were to musician Ben Branch, who was scheduled to perform that night at an event King was attending: "Ben, make sure you play Take My Hand, Precious Lord in the meeting tonight. Play it real pretty."[105] Abernathy heard the shot from inside the motel room and ran to the balcony to find King on the floor.[106] The events following the shooting have been disputed, as some people have accused Jackson of exaggerating his response.[107]
After emergency surgery, King was pronounced dead at St. Joseph's Hospital at 7:05 p.m.[108] According to biographer Taylor Branch, King's autopsy revealed that though only thirty-nine years old, he had the heart of a sixty-year-old,[109] perhaps a result of the stress of thirteen years in the civil rights movement.
The assassination led to a nationwide wave of riots in more than 100 cities.[110] Presidential nominee Robert Kennedy was on his way to Indianapolis for a campaign rally when he was informed of King's death. He gave a short yet empowering speech to the gathering of supporters informing them of the tragedy and asking them to continue King's idea of non-violence. On that night, Indianapolis was the only city which did not burn.[111] President Lyndon B. Johnson declared April 7 a national day of mourning for the civil rights leader.[112] Vice-President Hubert Humphrey attended King's funeral on behalf of Lyndon B. Johnson, as there were fears that Johnson's presence might incite protests and perhaps violence.[113] At his widow's request, King's last sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church was played at the funeral.[114] It was a recording of his "Drum Major" sermon, given on February 4, 1968. In that sermon, King made a request that at his funeral no mention of his awards and honors be made, but that it be said that he tried to "feed the hungry", "clothe the naked", "be right on the [Vietnam] war question", and "love and serve humanity".[115] His good friend Mahalia Jackson sang his favorite hymn, "Take My hand, Precious Lord", at the funeral.[116] The city of Memphis quickly settled the strike on terms favorable to the sanitation workers.[117][118]
Two months after King's death, escaped convict James Earl Ray was captured at London Heathrow Airport while trying to leave the United Kingdom on a false Canadian passport in the name of Ramon George Sneyd.[119] Ray was quickly extradited to Tennessee and charged with King's murder. He confessed to the assassination on March 10, 1969, though he recanted this confession three days later.[120] On the advice of his attorney Percy Foreman, Ray pleaded guilty to avoid a trial conviction and thus the possibility of receiving the death penalty. Ray was sentenced to a 99-year prison term.[120][121] Ray fired Foreman as his attorney, from then on derisively calling him "Percy Fourflusher".[122] He claimed a man he met in Montreal, Quebec with the alias "Raoul" was involved and that the assassination was the result of a conspiracy.[123][124] He spent the remainder of his life attempting (unsuccessfully) to withdraw his guilty plea and secure the trial he never had.[121] On June 10, 1977, shortly after Ray had testified to the House Select Committee on Assassinations that he did not shoot King, he and six other convicts escaped from Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary in Petros, Tennessee. They were recaptured on June 13 and returned to prison.[

"22 Jump Street" is a monument to mocking, a master class in dissing, a parody of pastiche, poking its R-rated finger at social conventions, sequels, stereotypes, football, frats, friends, drugs, sex — even its stars.
In fact, it is impossible to exaggerate how magnanimous its comic malfeasance is. This sequel's spoof of its predecessor's riff on the original 1980s-era buddy-cop TV show coalesces into a raucous, raunchy, irreverent, imperfect riot.
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill, as officers Jenko and Schmidt, respectively, are back for yet another capricious crime caper. Their chemistry crackles around strains in their bromance (look for an "Annie Hall" reference) and the fallout at the precinct from bungling any case they get.
After a pretty hilarious opening that involves the partners trying to pass as Latino gangstas and a chase sequence that puts the film's action style somewhere between "Mission: Impossible" and "The Three Stooges," Schmidt and Jenko are soon shipped off to college. Their assignment, per Nick Offerman's Deputy Chief Hardy, is to do exactly the same thing they did going undercover in a local high school in "21." Exactly. Just rewind, repeat. Absolutely no thinking outside the box.
That's one of several jabs at the proclivities of Hollywood sequels. Thinking outside the box, however, is exactly what allows "22 Jump Street" to make a brash creative leap that somehow lands on its feet — mostly.
Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller — the guys behind 2012's "21 Jump Street" and "The Lego Movie's" wry animation this year — understand exactly what they've got this time: a solidly implausible story, sight gags galore, endless jokes for the two new freshmen to go sophomoric, all unfolding at breakneck speed.
Screenwriters Michael Bacall, Oren Uziel and Rodney Rothman do not pull any punches or bypass any punch lines. More of the jokes work than fail. The script is not shy about being rude, crude and politically incorrect with its comedy, but that edge is somewhat softened by the sweet handling of relationships, particularly Schmidt and Jenko's. Despite its general inappropriateness and occasional misfires, "22" is not lazy in its scheming, the crime of so many second acts.
As "22's" story goes, the success of "21's" high school drug bust brought an infusion of cash into the undercover operation. The secret specialty division moved from the vacated church on 21 Jump Street, with its giant Korean Jesus crucifix and its screaming Captain Dickson (Ice Cube), across the street to another vacated church with an even bigger Jesus, this time Vietnamese. Dickson's still in charge, his bite as bad as his bark. But the digs have gone from low tech to high tech, the captain's icy steel and chrome office looking, as so much else in the film, like a punch line waiting to happen.
Indeed, most scenes have something that looks like a set-up for a joke the crew is clearly in on. Cinematographer Barry Peterson, another returning player, has gotten increasingly comfortable with the mayhem. Production designer Steve Saklad, more often found on Jason Reitman films, brings his expertise at creating a sense of place, which helps ground the film. Costume designer Leesa Evans has a lot of fun, the "22" clothes have their own zany appeal. Mark Mothersbaugh's music provides a peripatetic beat to match the pace and the plot; editor David Rennie helps stitch it all together.
At college, Jenko and Schmidt masquerade as students and siblings, neither role remotely plausible. They share a dorm room as they work the case, go to class, rush a fraternity, meet girls, play football. They're after the dealer of a particularly toxic hallucinogen that's already killed one student.
Their main target is known as the Ghost (Peter Stormare) because, well, no one knows what he looks like. But really, the movie's through line is how the best buds' relationship is changing.
The complicating factors are endless. There are unexpected issues with Maya (Amber Stevens), the smart girl Schmidt falls for. There are even more issues with Zook (Wyatt Russell), the college quarterback and frat boy who becomes Jenko's new best friend. He's a suspect, but their tight connection on the football field and off soon threatens the case and more. Meanwhile, Mercedes (Jillian Bell), Maya's caustic new roommate, turns up at the most inopportune times to deliver her verbal assaults. Bell is a scene-stealing crazy woman you won't soon forget.
A great deal of insanity ensues, none of which would work if Tatum and Hill weren't so disarming in their roles. Their level of comfort with the characters and each other helps "22" click. That ease is on excellent display in one particular therapeutic scene.
You might think the laughs are over when the credits start to roll. They aren't. Hang around for a final bit of fun. From first frame to last, "22 Jump Street's" low-brow is definitely, and defiantly, arched.

The newest shopping boutique at Destin Commons has something for everyone.
DESTIN � The newest shopping boutique at Destin Commons has something for everyone.
Apricot Lane Boutique opened up mid-November and owner Debbie Johnson says business has been booming since the start with their offerings of fashionable women�s clothing and accessories.
"Every woman has that fun, fearless and fashion-ble side to them and we cater to that," Johnson said. "Whether its a summer day outfit, a spring night outfit, or a winter work outfit we have it.
"When someone walks into the store I want there to be something for each of them."
There are 90 current and planned Apricot Lane stores in 28 States and plans to open 30 to 40 stores per year.
Johnson said after researching the retail market, she knew Apricot Lane was the right way to go.
"I absolutely love it," said the former Alabama Guard woman. "The military really molded me into being a person who gives back to the community and that�s what I want to do with this store."
The franchise allows owners to make each store unique to the area and the owners.
"We have a lot of beach-type outfits and we have a lot of mission-minded jewelry that�s unique to our store," Johnson said. "Apricot Lane is really good about letting you be an individual."
Some of her distinct store features include a "man corner" for husbands and boyfriends to wait in with comfortable seating, manly magazines and a television with whatever game is playing.
Johnson said she�s also included a small amount of pageant apparel and jewelry as a throwback to her daughter�s time in the pageant circuit.
The branded fashion includes names such as Miss Me, Rock Revival and AG Jeans. The store also sells jewelry, handbags, accessories and gifts. The boutiques offerings, according to Johnson, are for women in their late teems to retirees coming to the Emerald Coast for a retreat from the cool weather.
"The best thing about the clothes is that everything we have feels good, wears good and looks good," Johnson said. "This place is for every type and every taste."

How do I terminate an employee's UH Username?
A department head or administrative officer can request a UH Username termination for an employee by making a formal request on departmental letterhead. The Dean, Director, or administrative officer's signature is required. Requests should be sent to ITS Account Administrator. Note: Submitting a termination request does not always immediately cut off access, please see below.
By Campus Mail:
Information Technology Services
ITS Help Desk
IT Center 101
By US Postal Service:
ITS Help Desk
Information Technology Services
2520 Correa Rd, IT Center 101
Honolulu, HI 96822
When the termination is requested, it is possible that the individual using the UH Username has established additional affiliations with UH, such as becoming a student or becoming a faculty or staff with another UH department. ITS will research all termination requests in order to ascertain if there are additional affiliations by the individual. If there are no other affiliations, the UH Username will be flagged for termination. By default, the UH Username enters the normal grace period. If access to the UH Username must be immediately cut-off, the letter must explicitly request this.
Note that termination of the UH Email Account is synonymous with termination of the UH Username.

Good morning, AdLand. Here's what you need to know today:
Ad Age reports that Amazon's streaming video service, Prime Instant Video, has now overtaken TV-network owned site Hulu to be the third most-streamed video service in the U.S., trailing only YouTube and Netflix. Ad Age came to its conclusion using data from Qwilt, which found that Prime Instant Video accounted for 3% of all bandwidth used to stream video in the U.S., behind Netflix's 57.5% and YouTube's 16.9%.
ABC News promoted its Senior Vice President James Goldston to president after the department's previous president, Ben Sherwood, was tapped to replace Anne Sweeney as president of the ABC/Disney Television Group.
Hulu head of original programming development Charlotte Koh is leaving the company.
Dstillery appointed Paul Cushman as strategic adviser. Cushman was previously vice president of sales and business development for Drawbridge and head of sales of Yahoo! Mobile.
Timberland named the media agency Assembly its agency of record.
The rapper Heems (formerly of Das Racist) made a bizarre and also incredible Japanese ad for Vitamin Water trumpeting New York's remix culture of merging artifacts from two different places into one new cultural creation (a la the "ramen burger"). The idea (I think) is that Vitamin Water is combining coconut water with the vitamin B6.
Publicis Groupe CEO Maurice Levy says there will always be a need for the 30-second TV spot, adding that for his company's strategies to be effective, "We need both carpet bombing which is advertising during events with large audiences and snipers who go directly to the right approach [using digital]."
Facebook is changing its much-despised right rail ads so that they will be bigger, but there will be fewer of them. Facebook says that early tests of its new design, which will roll out later this month, show that users engage with the ads three times as often.

Alderney Ferry Terminal
The Alderney Ferry Terminal is located just off Ashahara Rd., near the entrance of the Booth Tunnel, in Alderney City, Alderney in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is based on The Erie Lackawanna Ferry Terminal in Hooboken, NJ.
|Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details are in the text which follows.
The Alderney Ferry Terminal has its first major role during the first random encounter with Eddie Low, when Niko drives Eddie to the ferry terminal to dump a duffle bag (presumably with a dead body inside) in the river. It is also the location of a Most Wanted mission. There is an armor at the end of the easternmost "wall".

Heineman wary of Senate run
Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman promised Saturday to give "a very serious look" at running for Senate, but the Republican also signaled support for a competitive primary and outlined concerns that many think will prompt him to eventually pass.
Sen. Mike Johanns, frustrated by gridlock and sitting on the back bench, announced Monday that he would not seek a second term. Heineman became governor in 2005 when Johanns stepped down to become Agriculture Secretary.
Story Continued Below
"I'm going to take some time," Heineman told POLITICO in an interview at the National Governors Association meeting in Washington. "I'm going to be very serious about this thought process, be careful [and] deliberate."
"There are a lot of challenges," he added. "For most governors, we find the United States Senate or the United States Congress very frustrating at the slow pace in which they act. There doesn't seem to be a lot of discipline and organization to what they do."
National Republicans, concerned about the potential comeback candidacy of Bob Kerrey, urged him to run for the Senate in 2012. Kerrey ultimately lost to Deb Fischer.
"It's a little different than two years ago when people asked me to run," said Heineman. "I would have had to give up the governor's seat at that time. In this case, my term ends in 2014, so I'll take a very serious look at it."
He said he's nonetheless "getting strong encouragement for the good of the country, for the good of my state, to take a serious look."
The political landscape has changed dramatically in the Cornhusker State over the past few weeks. The lieutenant governor, seen as the GOP frontrunner for governor, resigned after a newspaper revealed his late-night phone calls to women who were not his wife. Then Johanns, seen as completely safe for reelection, announced his retirement.
Heineman said it is too soon to say whether he will endorse another Republican if he decides not to run.
"I will say this: I think it's going to be a competitive primary," he said. "Hey, I've encouraged people to run regardless of what I do. I believe in competitive primaries. If you look at all five of our federal officeholders and myself, every one of us was in a competitive primary. Almost every one of us was not the favorite, including myself. And so, primaries are good for you, it strengthens you as a candidate, people get a better sense of where you're at and what you stand for."
"I'm pretty confident at the end of the day it's going to be a robust and vigorous debate for the Senate and for governor, and I feel good about our Republican chances in our state," he added.
Johanns called him last Monday to give him a heads up that he would not run.
"I appreciated the phone call," Heineman said, "but I said, 'You know, you messed up my whole day,' because now all everybody wants to ask is, 'Am I going to run for the United States Senate?'"

Ron & Connie Francis' '59 Willys
Grassroots rodders were more than just avid enthusiasts. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, there wasn't the vast number of aftermarket companies offering all the various bits and pieces you often needed to complete a project. Little by little, individuals went from making specialized parts for friends to forming businesses that did so, and thus developed the huge industry we have today. Without people like this, including Ron Francis, well, one could only imagine what the world would be like not having companies such as Wire Works, who make it possible for enthusiasts to complete their vehicles with much less effort than ever before.
Though Ron Francis' Wire Works has "only" been around since 1974, its founder is a lifelong hot rodder still finding time to devote to personal projects. Years ago, he turned out a stunning '40 Chevy convertible. As with any vehicle that gets driven, it began to show more obvious signs of wear and tear over time, and instead of completely rebuilding it, he and his wife, Connie, decided that something more along the lines of an SUV might better suit their family's needs-but they weren't considering any type of sport-utility you see advertised on TV.
What ultimately satisfied their utilitarian desire came in the form of a '59 Willys-a lifted 4×4 complete with a winch, clearance lights, and big ol' mudders. Not the typical type of vehicle a hot rodder would acquire-at least not one without the forethought to see beyond the Willys' four-wheeler characteristics. Ultimately, Ron would have the '59 shortened, lowered, and converted to two-wheel drive, all of which was done by Rhodes Custom Auto Works in Townsend, Delaware.
Four years after the transformation, the Willys is pretty much used on a daily basis-to the point that Ron logged over 5,000 miles on the odometer in the past five months alone. Connie came to enjoy the '59 so much that they ended up acquiring a '51 Willys truck for her, which witnesses a similar conversion, but it is still quite a bit higher off the ground than the wagon!

Story highlights
- The word has taken on a roller-coaster trajectory of its own
- It has been used nearly 3,000 times since its debut as a phrase in July 2009
- Confronted with the pervasiveness of the word, Democrats began an effort to redefine it
It's less of a tongue-twisting jumble than the phrase "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."
The sleek, slang word used by some to describe the health reform law signed by President Barack Obama has taken on a roller-coaster trajectory of its own, first coming into favor with Republicans as a criticism of the law, and more recently, as the subject of Democratic efforts to reclaim it.
The Supreme Court is expected to hand down a decision on the law's constitutionality this week.
What the court has to say could shape the next step in the word's evolution, experts say.
It premired before the president was elected or even became the Democratic nominee. And it premired long before the heated congressional debates over the law.
Around the peak of its use in Congress, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat, rose in objection to the word being used in the House of Representatives.
"Mr. Speaker, is it a violation of the House rule wherein members are not permitted to make disparaging references to the president of the United States," she asked on February 18, 2011. "In two previous gentlemen's statements on the amendment, both of them referred to the Affordable Care Act, which is the accurate title of the health reform law, as 'Obamacare.' "
That month, a record -- which was broken a few months later -- was set for the number of times 'Obamacare' had been uttered in Congressional speeches: 272 times, according to an analysis by the Sunlight Foundation.
That analysis showed the word has been used nearly 3,000 times since its debut as a phrase on Capitol Hill in July 2009.
The word was first put in print in March 2007, according to The New York Times, when health care lobbyist Jeanne Schulte Scott penned it in a health industry journal.
"We will soon see a 'Giuliani-care' and 'Obama-care' to go along with 'McCain-care,' 'Edwards-care,' and a totally revamped and remodeled 'Hillary-care' from the 1990s," she wrote.
It first appeared on the campaign trail in May of that year, when Romney distinguished his effort on health reforms as governor of Massachusetts.
"In my state, I worked on health care for some time. We had half a million people without insurance, and I said, 'How can we get those people insured without raising taxes and without having government take over heath care,'" he said in Des Moines, Iowa, advocating for states to find free market solutions.
"And let me tell you, if we don't do it, the Democrats will. If the Democrats do it, it will be socialized medicine; it'll be government-managed care. It'll be what's known as Hillarycare or Barack Obamacare, or whatever you want to call it."
On the campaign trail since, he has defended himself from charges of similarities between "Romneycare" and "Obamacare" -- including a critique from a rival presidential candidate that the two amount to "Obamneycare."
Perhaps confronted with the pervasiveness of the word, Democrats began an effort to redefine it -- an effort which began after it was signed in the summer of 2010.
By August 2011, Obama was using the word in some of his own speeches.
"So part of the Affordable Care Act health care reform, also known as 'Obamacare,' " he said at a town hall meeting in Cannon Falls, Minnesota. "I have no problem with folks saying "Obama cares." I do care. If the other side wants to be the folks who don't care, that's fine with me."
A CNN/ORC International poll released this month showed 43% of Americans favor the law, 37% think it too liberal, and 13% oppose it because it is not liberal enough.
David Plouffe, Obama's 2008 campaign manager, commented in a March interview on CNN's "State of the Union" on the messaging of the law's opponents.
"We've had hundreds of millions of dollars spent in propaganda against this law, just a torrent of money distorting it," he said.
That month, Obama's campaign encouraged supporters to tweet their support of the bill marked with a social media tag, "#ilikeobamacare." But George Lakoff, professor of cognitive science and linguistics at the University of California at Berkley, does not see near-term success in attempts to associate the word with a positive connotation.
"It's possible but it's very difficult," he said. "Obamacare activates the conservative viewpoint, that part of the brain."
Part of the trouble for Obama lies in the law's official name -- the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- said Lakoff, who writes about the messaging of health care politics in his new book, "The Little Blue Book: The Essential Guide for Thinking and Talking Democratic."
"He could have called it 'The American Plan.' It would be harder to argue against 'The American Plan,' " he continued. "Any cognitive scientist could have told him that was a dumb name."
Martin Medhurst, professor of rhetoric and communication at Baylor University, puts significant stock regarding the word's future in the upcoming constitutional judgment.
"It was applied with a negative connotation, but were the Supreme Court to uphold the law, Obamacare might overnight become a positive context," he said. "Just because something is intended to be framed in one way doesn't necessarily mean that it will be interpreted that way forever."
The law's most steadfast opponents may not change their views based on the court's ruling. It could have an impact on the way the important November constituencies think about it.
"You only have to convince the people who were ambivalent or are in the middle," Medhurst said.
But for now, the actual language of the law is not as important as the way it is discussed and debated.
"Most of the language people are hearing is not the law itself because nobody has read the law," Medhurst said.

on with kay and always talking negative.....i know we suck move on and have a drink
Why is Namath not teh head coach,,, or even a coach for thast fact,, hum, maybe he is not credible.
"There's one thing about the athlete: You keep telling him how good he is, he's going to start believing it to the point that he may not be preparing quite the way he should. Rex has been the only coach that we know, in maybe the history of the game that I'm familiar with, that keeps continually telling his guys how good they are. It's rather alarming. I think these guys might be believing that they're better than they are."
--Joe Namath, October 2011
(Joe was a year ahead of the curve, listen to what he says.)
The end for Sanchez began when he blew Namath off on Hard Knocks.
Namath is the only bright spot this franchise has.
Second, I love Joe and what he did for this team over 40 years ago, but that was then.
It is not that Joe speaks truth or not, it's not that he has the right or not and earned his stripes, it is that Joe has had no governor over the years. Drinking or not, he has shown himself to speak when he should be silent. As the voice of a team/corporation or a figure head, you need to know your limits, when to bite your tongue and use your influence for good rather than bad and Joe has no clue. Joe over the years has grown to be a bitter old negative man. Joe is old school, a worrier, one of the toughest, he can't drink, he's pissed, he can't play, he's pissed, he does not have the money he thinks he deserves, he's pissed. When you have one of your own doing nothing more than ripping your team all the time, it gets old. I sat and watched Joe win us a SB, I have been watching ever since, i just wish Joe would build us up every once in a while.
Why shouldn't he? not sure of your point. You seem to know him personally? he's pissed? You are his accountant too?
I simply give a life pass to Joe as long as he doesn't personally attack an individual.
beautifully put leftturn3..thank you!
Let me get this right, Namath warns a over a year in advance that the Jets are headed in the wrong direction, that they are not developing Sanchez properly and that they are being improperly motivated by their HC and that it will lead to trouble.
Namath turns out to be right on every one of his critiques of the team and their direction as evidenced by the product on the field.
And you are pissed at Namath!!
You can't make it up!!!
Good Grief .....
Dude the Jets have no play makers on offense there oline sucks..... facts are facts....The defense especially their linebackers are old and slow.... Joe Namath is the one who is on our side who bleeds green says the truth.... sorry if the truth hurts. I wish I could say & feel the Jets will win the super bowl, because nobody wants that as much as me
I'm beginning to think that the Turn-around won't happen until the JETS Organization begins to involve(finally) Joe Namath in some capacity and not just as a figurehead.
You have to love Joe Willie. The dude is knows football and gave us our greatest moment in Jet history.

Rayware / Raymore OK Rayware is probably the British side of the business or a separate British firm as Terry has never heard of them and I'm drinking out of one of their mugs and a very nice stylish one it is too. Type Raymor (ooops no e) into Ebay.com and you will see all sorts of pottery and china as well as glass and other stuff. I call these type of firms "re-labelers". They source worldwide then relabel or badge as their own most often hiding the true maker and country of origin. Just occaisionally you will find a "made in xxxx " sticker too so country in this case is known. But I did see one of their badged items which had a shipping label on the box mentioning "Kastrup" ...a Per Lutken designed opalescent shell bowl! So they dealt in quality stuff and I believe even commissioned designs themselves. In the US Raymor has become a "brand" in itself eventhough I don't think they actually make anything.

It needs very little introduction. Afterall, the Golf GTi has been with us now for 37 years. So what's new on this latest Mark VII?
For the first time two power levels are offered: the standard 220 PS GTI and the GTI Performance, a £980 option which increases power to 230 PS, adds larger brake discs and a front limited-slip differential.
Both variants benefit from a raft of technical advancements and driver safety assistance systems, including ADC (Automatic Distance Control) with City Emergency Braking, a Driver Alert System, PreCrash preventative occupant protection and Driver Profile Selection, which adjusts the characteristics of the car: from Comfort, Normal, Sport, and Individual.
Styling remains conservative for a hot-hatch, but visual clues include a red stripe across the honeycomb radiator grille, red-painted brake callipers, twin chrome tailpipes and 18-inch alloys.
The new 2.0-litre turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine (TSI) pumps out 220 PS and 350 Nm (258 lbs ft) of torque, resulting in an explosive a 6.5 second sprint to 62 mph and an autobahn storming 152 mph top speed. But it's also cleaner, with a claimed 47.1 combined mpg and 139g/km of CO2 (manual version).
A slick close ratio six-speed manual gearbox is standard, although a six-speed DSG auto is optional. Both have their own character – the manual being more involving, although the DSG has its own rewards: lightening fast changes accompanied by a characteristic hiccup from the exhausts on upshifts.
Variable ratio steering – if slightly lacking in feel – provides progressive and smooth inputs; the body remains flat and stable even under hard cornering and there's tons of grip. Yet for a sporting model the GTi's ride is also impressively pliant: optional adaptive chassis control (£795) allows you to tailor the firmness of the car's suspension.
Overall fit and finish and quality of cabin materials is class leading. The GTi's classic tartan 'Jacara' cloth sports seats, red ambient lighting, bespoke steering wheel, gear lever and instrument cluster are stand out design features – adding to the sporty appeal.
The 5.8-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system, incorporating digital radio, Bluetooth, iPod connectivity and satellite navigation, boasts intuitive functionality.
Slightly larger exterior dimensions over the previous mark VI Golf give a more spacious cabin. Taller occupants are well catered for by 15mm more rear legroom. There's also more shoulder and elbow room, whilst the boot has grown in size to 380 litres.
Volkswagen's new GTi is a better proposition than its predecessor: being faster, more dynamic, lighter yet safer and boasting considerably higher efficiency.
True, it still might not offer the purest driving experience and, if you're looking for raw thrills from your hot-hatch, you'll be better off plumping for a Renault Megane Renaultsport 265 Cup, or a Ford ST, both of which ultimately offer more full-on fun. However, neither rival can match the quality, panache and breadth of all-round ability of the Golf GTi.

the blood of your enemies Mountain Dew.

Why should the significance of a thing be limited by its function? Why should canvas be only secondary to the paint that it supports? During my art-making process, I became actively engaged in the aesthetics and emotional possibilities of my materials. The more I interacted with them, the more I discovered about their versatility – for instance, the surprising ability of the canvas to imitate the surfaces of marble and dried clay. Any imperfections or traces from past mark-making on my materials became pleasurable to behold as they contribute to the history invested in these objects.

So I was having an online discussion with my younger brother a little more than a week ago about abortion. Being a devout and pro-life Catholic he held the opinion that life starts at conception, that it a fertilized egg is human and should be treated as human because it is a unique life different than the host parent. I have also been reading bio-ethics and many different places on the debate and they all seem to revolve around trying to justify scientifically what I can best describe as trying to answer the question, "when is an embryo tantamount to a human being?"
Of course, that one question gave way to the larger question, "What makes us human?" Where do we define the limits of humanity? Is it strictly in a biological sense as in form, shape, and structure? Is it in potential in the case of infants? Is it in behavior; could someone act in a way that they are no longer considered, if even for a moment, a human? Is it in ability whether physical or mental? Is humanity a transitive property; in other words, is it a label that can be taken away or does it last regardless once it has been gained? Are their varying degrees of humanity where a person could be considered "more human" than someone else?
I am very curious to hear all of your thoughts and ideas!

Aren't we the only species who cry due to emotions?
Probably yes. But what about mourning?
As our puppies have matured, it has become rather obvious that we can tell when they are boored, lonely, hungery, happy, excited, are teasing, etc. More than once my wife and I have seen the wonderful 'smile' that the puppies give us when we get home, they are playing, or they 'get us' when they tease.
We have noticed also the number of words and gesters that they understand. The term 'bath' can make them disapear, 'walk' and 'ride' will make them run to the door and nearly scrap the paneling off! The term 'Cookie' will make them run to the kitchen and assume the position.
They taught us that they are hungery when they lick our hands in the morning.They seem to understand that cleaning up the yard means bringing sticks to mommy.
We have seen interesting indications of creativity and problem solving. Once our oldest was late for her walk, I took off up our road on a different path and she meet me by taking a separate leg of a triangle as an intersept. I was rather empressed my this.
Our youngest has found different ways to never be stuck behind our fence. We have early given up trying to keep her in. She meets us in the driveway when we get home, to get the first hug, I expect.
Have you ever seen the documentary on the "Crying Camel?" Extremely interesting true story of a mammal's rejection of a newborn and subsequent acceptance.
I'm pro-life, but for non-religious reasons. I find that abortion itself is usually unnecessary, violent, inhumane, and often downright barbaric. We, as a society, need to advance ourselves past the need for such things with better education, and frankly, the doing away with of religious beliefs that birth control options like pills or condoms are morally wrong and cannot be used under any circumstance.
However, I do not believe a fertilized egg is a human (it doesn't even have a spine!). In fact, it's very common for eggs to get fertilized, but they just never attach to the uterus wall, so they have no chance. They are naturally expelled from the body when the monthly flow begins. The woman never even realizes it happened at all. There are many times, also, when the egg WILL attach to the wall, and may even begin to burrow into the lining, but will stop doing so for whatever reason, and then the body goes into menses and flushes it out. All natural, yet again. Like before, usually the woman will not even know it had happened. Chances are, most women have been "pregnant" several times in their reproductive lives if they have been regularly sexually active and have not used protection.
My opinion is that things start getting into the point-of-no-return realm as soon as the spinal column begins to form. And they are most DEFINITELY off when the heart begins to beat. Unfortunately, that doesn't leave a lot of time. The spine begins to form somewhere around 4-5 weeks in, which is about when a woman can even get a positive pregnancy test. I should mention I consider that to be a gray area, though. I personally don't feel it's right to end the life at that point in time, but the heart hasn't formed or begun to beat yet. The heart begins to beat around 6 weeks in. I've seen that with my own eyes on an ultrasound. Obviously, that little goober is alive.
I advocate the Plan B or Morning After Pill like mad, if a woman should suspect she could potentially have gotten pregnant from an unprotected sexual encounter. At the same time, though, I very, very strongly advocate for contraceptive use. I say use all the available tools you have at hand to make sure it never happens in the first place, leaving abortion completely out of the picture. Planned Parenthood and the Health Department provide free or low cost birth control pills and condoms. I strongly suggest the use of BOTH those options at the same time. I also suggest, if possible, to combine those along with other methods, like spermicide and anything else that could prevent an unwanted pregnancy from ever happening at all.
Another easy, free, and actually 100% religiously acceptable method for birth control is basal body temperature charting. I strongly encourage all women, whether they are trying to conceive a child or not, to use BBT charting. After a few months of doing so, a woman gets a good idea of when her fertile period is, and she can opt to either not have sex at all during those few days, or use birth control options during those days to prevent fertilization from happening. All you need is a thermometer and a pen and paper next to your bed to write your temperature onto in the morning when you first wake up. So simple! Free! Totally ethical!
I am also disturbed by the possibility that the unborn child may be feeling extreme pain when it is being destroyed. Pain is our most basic of sensations. Given that a fetus does react to being poked or jabbed relatively early in development, that suggests they can feel SOMEthing. There has been some study as to whether a fetus can feel pain, and the results have come back that they are actually able to sense pain on some level. I feel that if an abortion has been deemed medically necessary after a certain point, it is only the humane thing to do to administer pain killers to the baby so that its suffering can be lessened during the procedure.
I am highly against the use of abortion for birth control reasons only. I feel such a thing is completely unnecessary, and if the couple (it takes two, after all) were too ignorant to make use of birth control options, or allowed a religion to tell them they couldn't do such a thing, then they should accept their responsibilities and deal with the consequences of their poor choices. If they truly cannot support the child, there are many, many couples out there who are looking to adopt. I know quite a number of them, myself, as I have battled infertility for many years, and have gained many friends with the same affliction. They would be happy to take the "burden" off someone else's hands.
I understand that sometimes abortions are deemed medically necessary, and I do not speak against these. Sometimes, the life of the baby or the mother is at such a great risk that ending the pregnancy is the only option. But I do still feel that pain relief should be administered to the unborn child during the process.
Unfortunately, the reality is that there will always be those who will choose not to use birth control options to their best advantage, or those who will always allow religion to tell them what to do with their sexual lives. I accept there's nothing I can do, and I don't preach to those who are pro-choice or who otherwise want to end the life of their unborn child. But this is what I think about it all, for what it's worth.
I feel that, just because they haven't yet been born doesn't mean they're no less qualified for the right to life as those of us out here in the open world. Like us, they only get one life, and they never even got to experience light or touch. So short, and so tragic... And it could have been so easily prevented (cases of rape/incest not withstanding, of course)!
I'm pro-life, but for non-religious reasons.
Fair enough.
I find that abortion itself is usually unnecessary, violent, inhumane, and often downright barbaric.
Yet you seem unaware that these are just propaganda pushed forward by the religious.
Propaganda, sure, but it doesn't sound like Rachel bought it for religious reasons.
Besides, it doesn't say anywhere in scripture when a fetus deserves protection, so people's assumptions that God said something about it are unfounded.
Umm. I think they invoke that "Thou shalt not kill" one, though, don't they?
It makes sense that the "kill" in the commandment actually means murder. Otherwise, it would have been specifying vegetarianism or even the eating of only already dead things. (Please, vegans, don't take this as a propaganda moment.)
The Catholics have the old original sin thing on them.
More seriously, as Wittgenstein once said, "To understand a language is to know a way of life." What that means, basically, is that we can't really ever know what they meant for sure.
You're right of course, and I know you know what I'm about to add for the benefit of other, potential idiots:
Thou shalt not kill is such a general statement that it could be interpreted as "thou shalt not even stomp on cockroaches or locusts", or (here's a good one) "thou shalt not go to war for bad reasons".
So, maybe Jesus does endorse abortion.
1K - have you considered what a paradox that is?
According to the Bible (I've discovered from talking with Dave that I need to preface every statement with, "According to the Bible," otherwise I get accused of saying that god or Yeshua actually exists), for this neurotic god to get all of the praise and adoration to which he's addicted, he must first sacrifice his son, so he can say, "Hey humans, look what I did!"
Yeshua HAD to die for the whole scheme to work, so we would automatically assume that the guy who made that possible, the one who showed authorities where to find him so the whole process could begin, would be a hero, would be venerated by everyone for time immemorial, acclaimed as the one single person - other than Yeshua of course, actualy the MAIN course, so to speak - who made it all possible.
But NO, he's reviled as the worst piece of trash ever! What if he had said, "No, I'm not gonna do this?" The whole deal would have fallen through.

A. Oracle Solaris ZFS Version Descriptions
Previous versions of the Solaris OS supported an ACL implementation that was primarily based on the POSIX ACL draft specification. The POSIX-draft based ACLs are used to protect UFS files. A new Solaris ACL model that is based on the NFSv4 specification is used to protect ZFS files.
The main differences of the new Solaris ACL model are as follows:
The model is based on the NFSv4 specification and is similar to NT-style ACLs.
This model provides a much more granular set of access privileges.
ACLs are set and displayed with the chmod and ls commands rather than the setfacl and getfacl commands.
Richer inheritance semantics designate how access privileges are applied from directory to subdirectories, and so on.
For more information about using ACLs with ZFS files, see Chapter 8, Using ACLs and Attributes to Protect Oracle Solaris ZFS Files.

Inquiry Question
Reading 3: A Life in the Relocation Centers
By June 2, 1942, the U. S. Army had moved the nearly 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans living in the western parts of Washington, Oregon, and California into hastily created assembly centers. By November, they had all been transferred to the 10 long-term relocation centers built and run by the civilian War Relocation Authority (WRA). One third were foreign-born Issei, prohibited from becoming citizens and many over 50 years old. The remaining two-thirds were Nisei, American citizens born in the United States, most under age 21. For the next two to three years, many evacuees would not go beyond the confines of the centers.
Ranging in population from 7,000 to almost 14,000 people, the relocation centers were often the largest "towns" in the sparsely settled areas where they were located. They were designed to be self-contained communities, complete with hospitals, post offices, schools, warehouses, offices, hospitals, and residential areas, all surrounded by barbed wire and guard towers. Since the centers were supposed to be as self-sufficient as possible, residential cores were surrounded by large, open buffer zones. The evacuees farmed this land, producing much of the centers' food.
Evacuees lived in tar paper-covered barracks and used communal mess halls and bathrooms. They constructed their own community buildings, such as schools and churches. Often entire blocks of barracks were used as schools. At first there were no school supplies or equipment. Later, some of the evacuees and people from relief agencies or churches built or donated desks, bookshelves, maps, and books of all kinds. Administration buildings and staff housing were covered with wood, painted white. Civilian employees lived in individual one, two, and three bedroom apartments, each with its own kitchen and bathroom. The Military Police lived in separate areas adjacent to the centers to minimize personal contact with the evacuees.
When evacuees arrived at the camps, they found row on row of identical barracks in bleak settings of desert or swamp. Although they could do little about the extremes of heat and cold they encountered, they quickly found ways to improve and personalize their new lodgings, first to make them habitable, and later to make them into homes. They planted trees, hedges, flower borders, vegetables, gourds, vines, and cactus. Artist Kango Takamura was one of the first evacuees to arrive at Manzanar. He described what he found, and what happened: "Oh, it's really so hot, you see, and the wind blows. There's no shade at all. It's miserable, really. But one year after, it's quite a change. A year after they built the camp and put water there, the green grows up. And mentally everyone is better."¹ Making physical changes in the environment was an important way to take some measure of control over their own lives and to create a sense of normality in their abnormal situation.
Anger and frustration and the physical and psychological disorientation brought on by the relocation took a toll on the evacuees. Most had supported the United States and were loyal and patriotic until their government decided that they were untrustworthy and guilty until proven innocent. In extreme cases, formerly loyal citizens renounced their citizenship. Others merely sympathized with the Japanese government. Ethnic churches, Japanese language schools, and unofficial unions flourished. Open resistance came in the form of strikes and protest demonstrations. The most serious disturbance erupted at Manzanar in December 1942, following months of tension between supporters and opponents of the WRA administration. The confrontation ended when the director called in the military police who used tear gas to break up the crowd. When a truck was pushed toward the jail, the military police fired into the crowd, killing one and wounding at least ten others (of whom one later died).
Evacuees also found ways to express their resentment secretly. At Manzanar, they scratched inscriptions into the wet concrete of a settling basin they were building. Written in Japanese and under water when the settling basin was in use, they read "Beat Great Britain and the USA," and "Banzai, the Great Japanese Empire, Manzanar Black Dragon Group headquarters."
Other evacuees remained loyal to the United States, in shock and disbelief at how they had been deprived of their homes and their freedom. Their major goal was to find ways to prove their loyalty. Many young men volunteered when the army announced in 1943 that it would accept volunteers for the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, an all-Nisei combat unit. Women volunteered for the Women's Army Corps and the Red Cross.
Questions for Reading 3
1. How long did it take to move people of Japanese ancestry to the permanent relocation centers?
2. What components made up a typical relocation center? Why do you think the centers were designed to be self-contained and self-sufficient?
3. Why was it important for evacuees to make changes in their environment?
4. Why did some members of the community cease to be loyal to the United States? How did they show their anger at the way the government had treated them? How did others seek to demonstrate their continued loyalty? If you were a relocated Japanese American, how do you think you would have reacted?

"The great virtue of free enterprise is that it forces existing businesses to meet the test of the market continuously, to produce products that meet consumer demands at lowest cost, or else be driven from the market. It is a profit-and-loss system." -Milton Friedman
There's no question that the trucking industry is served by many top-notch suppliers of everything from new trucks and aftermarket parts to engine oil and maintenance services. That's been my experience covering this industry and it's all the more remarkable because trucking is such a tight-margin business, with 5% to 7% profit margins the norm for many fleets out there - numbers that usually aren't attractive to the best suppliers in the market.
Yet the reverse is also true; that there also suppliers that exasperate fleets to no end, with customer poor service probably the top issue. Professor Jerry Osteryoung from the college of business at Florida State University is very aware of how much trouble suppliers like these can cause, especially for the entrepreneurs he works with. Truckers, like many entrepreneurs, recognize the value of customer service and how critical it is as a competitive advantage in the marketplace. That's why is can be a real problem on more than one level if their suppliers don't follow the same playbook.
So, as usual, I'm going to give Professor Osteryoung some space here to detail his thoughts on the subject of difficult suppliers, as he's had a lot more experience with this issue than I have. Professor Osteryoung, the floor is yours:
"Suppliers allow you to function as a business and provide products and services to your customers. They determine the cost, as well as the availability, of your products and services. In so many ways, suppliers are the lifeblood of your business. They are clearly indispensable ... and that means you will probably have to deal with at least one difficult supplier at some point during your business's life.
We were helping one entrepreneur deal with an incredibly difficult vendor. Compared to the firm's other suppliers, this vendor had the highest cost, but it was the industry leader, with a name that was considered the flagship of the industry. This vendor did everything possible to avoid being supportive of this business, from not returning phone calls to charging for each and every sales brochures that was designed for the ultimate customer (including their catalogs, which listed the product description and the wholesale price of each and every product).
Because of the supplier's position in the industry, the firm thought that they had no choice but to keep this vendor on. They thought that they absolutely needed the vendor's name to lend credibility to their business. While they tried to negotiate a better relationship and terms with this vendor, the vendor just was not interested, as they believed that they were the 'elephant' in the market.
I was able to work with this firm and show them that, while the vendor had a significant market share, the firm's customers trusted them and relied on their product guidance - that the customers came to my client's firm, not to their vendor!
It was tough for the firm to let go of the vendor, as they really believed that their business would not be as successful without it. However, after one year without the difficult vendor, sales were down by 5%, but profits were up by 10%. On top of the improved financial considerations, the entrepreneur is sleeping better and just feeling much, much better. Now, in hindsight, the entrepreneur wonders why it took them so long to make this decision.
Some of the red flags indicating poor vendors are continuously unfulfilled orders, poor relationship with the vendor's sales rep, questionable value in the products that they are distributing or manufacturing, and the feeling that you are just not getting the service that you require to service your customers. The key is to examine each and every one of your vendors to ensure that they are servicing you in the manner that your business requires."
And let me add one thought here to those of Professor Osteryoung: don't forget the positive, to tell your vendors and suppliers when they do a great job. Positive feedback, in my view, is probably an even more vital ingredient to building and sustaining a long-term relationship with solid vendors than criticism alone.

On Sunday, November 8, 2009, in The Sunday Times, Goldman Sachs' CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, said he was doing "God's work." How accurate is his claim?
Mr. Blankfein is Jewish, as this jinsider.com article states, entitled, "Top Wall Street Jew: Lloyd Blankfein." The oldest and most authoratative source to test his claim would be the Torah — the five books of Moses.
In the Torah, specifically in Deuteronomy, chapter 15, verses 1 to 3, we have the following English translation from the New International Version:
"1. At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts.
2. This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel the loan he has made to his fellow Israelite. He shall not require payment from his fellow Israelite or brother, because the LORD's time for canceling debts has been proclaimed.
3. You may require payment from a foreigner, but you must cancel any debt your brother owes you."
Therefore, in order for him to be doing God's work, according to his religion, every seven years, he'd have to cancel all debts to fellow Israelites, now Jews, and keep them for all non-Jews. Where is the evidence Goldman Sachs is doing this? I can't find any. In fact, I can only find evidence to the contrary. Namely, that all debts are kept past seven years for Jews and non-Jews alike.
For those who will argue that the Torah no longer applies to Jews, or that they can pick and choose which commandments to follow, that would indeed come as a surprise to Orthodox Jews, who I believe, rightly follow all of the Torah. Otherwise, what authority does anyone have to pick and choose which commandments of God to follow, if indeed they all be from God, as Orthodox Jews claim. If the Torah is inauthentic, in whole or in part, then Mr. Blankfein needs to cite his evidence to justify his claim that he's doing "God's work," when he's not following one of his God's commandments.
To those who would say that God's commandments in the Torah don't apply to the actions of those working as employees of corporations, one need look no further than Exodus 32, to see that such an excuse doesn't wash. Cite me a single verse that shows the actions of individuals were excused as a result of their participation as a group. Indeed, Aaron was held accountable for the actions of his fellow Israelites in worshipping the Golden Calf, when Moses was up on Mount Sinai.
Finally, to those who would say that all religions are fantasy, including Judaism, I say to them, that's irrelevant to whether Mr. Blankfein's claim that he's doing God's work should be held up to scrutiny, based on his own beliefs about God.
