A perplexing illusion that you'll 'heart'

Kurt Cobain's hometown rejects tribute



 

The city council of Aberdeen, Wash., also known as the birthplace of Kurt Cobain, yesterday rejected a resolution that would have renamed the northern city of Aberdeen after the bridge singer of Nirvana. In fact, they voted against it aggressively, at a rate of 1.10 is officially put to vote against the name of Cobain on the bridge, which was submitted to the closing track Nevermind "Something in the way." Rejecting the resolution, argued that citizens, substance abuse, suicide and a low opinion of the city "of Cobain's no reason not to spend the bridge in his name.

For decades, the North Aberdeen Bridge was informally called the Young Street Bridge, and Young Street itself was named after the pioneer Alexander Young, but the board also voted to rename the bridge after Young officially. (Maybe they're just sick people put names on things?) As a consolation, however, the council agreed to name the piece of land where some of Cobain's ashes were scattered in the Wishkah River, "Kurt Cobain Memorial landing." "You want to call Landing Memorial is good, but leave the bridge alone," Aberdeen resident Tori Kovach said with enthusiasm.
Aberdeen is already heavily marked by references to Cobain and his legacy, so understandable that they did not name the bridge after him too. Road sign welcoming visitors (who are likely, people who want to see the hometown of Kurt Cobain) reads: "Welcome to Aberdeen - Come As You Are", a nod only Nevermind. Aberdeen were also erected a giant sculpture of an electric guitar in a park nearby, and the controversial board near the bridge above, which shows some of the most notorious quotes Cobain as "Drugs are bad for you, they f --- you." Indeed.

You can see why Aberdeen will be reluctant to yield to rename the bridge after Cobain, even if it is the bridge that inspired "Something in the way." The bridge was a turning point. "Cobain" out on the subject, then in 10 years, the council voted to rename the city of Aberdeen, just myself's fun fact: John Elway had a small part of his life in Aberdeen, but no one ever talk about it. No one is naming after his football there. Aberdeen has its own history, and it is not only Cobain.

Lawmakers Say Debt Deal Within Reach

Democrats in both houses of Congress the crisis on Sunday afternoon, the Senate leader, saying he hoped the Senate will vote soon on a compromise agreement, which will increase the debt limit of the nation and to avoid default on its debt than ever.

The Senate, Harry Reid, majority leader told reporters who gathered around him when he left office representative, Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic leaders, he hoped, you're not going to vote on Sunday evening.

Reid later issued a statement saying it had signed an agreement, the consent of the Senate's Democratic members of the bar.

There are indications that an agreement had found enough support from Democrats in the Senate. But that is not enough support among Democrats more liberal and conservative, tea supports Republicans in the House of Representatives.

Pelosi said she will meet with House Democrats on a compromise measure on Monday.

"All of us may not be able to maintain, or perhaps none of us support it," said Pelosi said Democrats will examine the plan.

Must pass both houses, the legislation commitment to close one of the worst of partisan political struggle to swallow the U.S. government in recent years.

Democrat Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the Senate, a Republican, said with optimism earlier in the day the agreement was extended, but Washington has remained silent on a summer day than a hot politicians continued to huddle together at the last minute negotiations on the plan.

But Sunday night at the White House, McConnell and Rep. John Boehner Speaker of the House was silent.

Privately, officials said the last stumbling block for possible budget cuts in the defense of the country for the next two years. Republicans want less. Democrats have insisted on more, in an attempt to protect the national accounts greater reduction.

Reid said he was "cautiously optimistic" while McConnell said that the talks were "very close". But as the day wore on, and legislators have continued to respond to the crisis in the capital, the political extremes of both parties criticized the agreement and threatened to try to block the agreement, even with the deadline for the default choice for the U.S. at midnight Tuesday.

Without legislation, rather than the Treasury can not pay all their bills, raising the threat of errors, administration officials say they cause devastating damage to the economy.

If approved, however, a compromise must be to protect America's credit in the book to reassure investors on financial markets around the world and eventually reverse the losses spread across Wall Street in recent days that the threat of default payment has increased.

The general contours of this new plan, the agreement is being developed in negotiations with McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden will increase the federal debt limit in two stages, at least 2.2 trillion dollars, enough to overcome the Treasury after the 2012 election.

Reducing government spending would be spread over more than a decade. Thousands of programs - parks, tax authorities and the Ministry of Labour of accounts between them - can be cut to levels seen last year.

No benefit cuts were examined by the pension system of Social Security and Medicare, a federal program that pays for medical care for the elderly. However, other programs ran for savings. Taxes are likely to increase.

Each contract must be approved in the Senate controlled by Democrats and Republicans ruled the House before going to the White House for the signing of Obama. With little time, there were two rooms, the day, President House, John Boehner was in his office.

The Senate began the day to reject efforts to promote democratic approach to solve the debt problem. Rate and 50-49, or 10 does not have 60 votes needed to proceed as proposed legislation, Reid last week. This plan would make $ 2400000000 in deficit reduction over 10 years, while the increase of $ 2.2 trillion debt ceiling. The result of this vote, and should not directly influence the negotiations behind the scenes is a compromise.

Undaunted, Mr. Reid said then that "We hope and believe, you can do."

Officials familiar with the negotiations said McConnell had been in constant contact with Mr. Biden, who has played an influential role in negotiations for several months.

Negotiations on a two-stage system to increase the debt limit and reduce costs.

The first step will be implemented as soon as more nearly 1000000000000 debt limit and reduce a little 'more than ten years.

This will be accompanied by the creation of a new congressional committee, which would be late November to recommend or $ 1.8 billion in deficit reduction in specific benefit programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security and reform the tax code. This will reduce the deficit by increasing the debt second limit, which will be needed next year.

If the Committee did not reach its target of U.S. $ 1.8 billion, and Congress does not approve the final recommendations of 2011, lawmakers would then have to vote on a proposed constitutional balanced budget amendment.

If not approved, the spending cuts totaling $ 1.2 trillion automatically enter into force automatically and increase the debt limit by the same amount.

Social Security, Medicaid and food stamps are exempt from the automatic cuts, but payments to doctors, nursing homes and other Medicare providers will be reduced, as it gives insurance companies that offer an alternative to those run by Government Medicare.

The officials who described the steps on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the discussions and the possibility that the data are subject to change.

The new deal could mean a classic compromise, the triumph of divided government, with Obama and the Republicans say they have been achieved.

As the President requested that the agreement will allow the debt limit increase sufficiently to overcome the Treasury after the 2012 elections.

But little change, it was Obama's proposal to extend the tax lot at the end of the salary in 2011 is not included and will not be his call to unemployment benefits in the long run among the victims of the slowdown economy.

Republicans win to reduce the cost of a little more than increase the debt limit, when needed. In addition, the tax increase will close, if recommended by a bipartisan commission, which must include six Republicans and six Democrats. Conservative Party's campaign for Congress to approve an amendment to the balanced budget for the Constitution of the United States rose.

Congressional Democrats have long insisted that Medicare and Social Security benefits are not cut off the victory for them in the proposals under discussion. However, they would have to absorb even more cuts hundreds of federal programs that are included in the Bill Reid, who many Democrats supported the symbolic vote on the floor at home on Saturday.

AWOL soldier arrested with bomb materials

An infantry soldier taken away from me with weapons and a bomb in a backpack would be admitted to Fort Hood plan another terrorist attack in less than two years, the army said Thursday. He could have managed to implement, said the police if a gun store clerk had not notified of any suspicious activity of man.

"I'd probably be here today, gives a press different if it had not been arrested," Killeen Police Chief Dennis Baldwin of.

The suspect 21-year-old Pfc. Abdo Nasser, was arrested Wednesday at a motel about three miles from the main entrance to Fort Hood. Voted against the 2009 murder of Fort Hood last year, when he made a public statement which was granted conscientious objector status to avoid serving in Iraq or Afghanistan.

As the soldier accused of killing 13 people in the shooting, Abdo is Muslim, but said in a paper obtained by The Associated Press ran the attacks on their beliefs and was "an act of aggression by a man and not Islam."

Abdo was approved as a conscientious objector, this year, but this was suspended after being charged with possession of child pornography. He was AWOL from Fort Campbell, Kentucky during the weekend of July 4.

3. July, tried to buy a gun to keep near the Kentucky-mail, the company that owns the shop. Abdo AP reporter said a week later, he was worried for his safety and was considering buying a gun for protection, but had not yet done.

Police said the break in Killeen, in the case came from weapons Galore LLC - the same gun shop, where most Nidal Hasan bought a gun used in the attack in 2009. Shop Secretary Greg Ebert said the man arrived in a taxi on Tuesday and bought six pounds of smokeless powder, three boxes of shotgun ammunition and a magazine for a semiautomatic pistol.

Ebert said he called the authorities because he and his colleagues "felt comfortable with his overall behavior and the fact he did not know what the hell, it was purchased. "

According to an alert army sent by e-mail obtained by The Associated Press has learned Killeen police the taxi company that Abdo had been picked up by a local motel and also visited a surplus store in the army, where he paid cash for a uniform patch bearing unit of Fort Hood.

Authorities found firearms and "elements that could be identified as components of the bombs, including gunpowder" in the motel room, Abdo, an FBI spokesman, said Erik Vasy.

The alert said Abdo Army "was in possession of a large quantity of ammunition, weapons and a bomb in a backpack," and in the interrogation admitted planning an attack on Fort Hood. Officials n 'have not provided details on a possible motive.

Baldwin, the chief of police, said Abdo "was dropped fairly quickly, without incident."

VASY said that the FBI would collect Abdo with possession of bomb-making components, and would be moved from Killeen police in a federal institution. VASY said there was nothing to suggest Abdo has worked with others.

A lawyer who represented the Oklahoma Abdo said Thursday he had not heard of Abdo in a few weeks.

"I am very eager to contact him," said the lawyer, James Branum.

AP was among the media to interview Abdo in the last year when they report on his application for objector status. Tuesday, July 12 Abdo contacted an AP reporter with whom he had spoken earlier, said he had gone away from me and considered buying a gun for personal protection. Abdo said he had not done so because he knew he wanted to give his name and other information for the dealer gun.

Abdo said he had received e-mails critical of his case for conscientious objector, and was concerned for his safety because of an increasing number of soldiers were returning to Fort Campbell, Afghanistan.

The AP describes the contents of that conversation Thursday that a spokesman for the Army civilians. The next day, when contacted by military investigators, the AP said Abdo did not know where and whenever the phone since he made his first call.

Article 32 military hearing last month, had recommended that Abdo by court martial in a military office that 34 images of child pornography was found on a computer he used.

In addition, the Division of Criminal Investigation with the military Joint Task Force investigated the federal terrorism Abdo soon after he was honored to unspecified anti-American comments while taking a language course, according to a U.S. official informed of the investigation.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said the military or the workforce has found nothing to indicate both Abdo was planning an attack, the official said.

FBI, police and soldiers said little about whether the way they were followed since leaving Fort Campbell Abdo. Patrick J. Connor, Special Agent in Charge of the Criminal Investigation Command at Fort Hood Army, said efforts were made to locate him after an arrest warrant was issued, but gave no further details.

Abdo was raised in Garland, a suburb of Dallas about 170 miles from Fort Hood. In his essay, which he sent to the AP last year, has made a conscientious objection-based, he said, his mother is a Christian and his father is Muslim, and who chose to follow Islam, when he was 17 years

"I did not know when I became a Muslim, I had to learn what Islam has meant to me and what I was willing to sacrifice for it," he writes.

He wrote that he joined the army to believe he could serve in the army and the honor of his religion, but he ended up having to bear the insults and threats from other soldiers about his religion during basic training. He said that life was better after his arrival on his first duty station, but he studied Islam more closely, as he approached the deployment of learning "to go to war was the Islamic right thing to do. "

"I began to understand and believe that only God can give legitimacy to war, not humanity," he wrote. "That's when I realized my conscience would not allow me to deploy."

His application was filed in June 2010. Army conscientious objector Review Board rejected his application, but the Assistant Secretary of the Agency Review Board Army recommended that it be separated from the military as a conscientious objector. The discharge was delayed when he was charged with possession of child pornography on May 13

Civilian spokesman for Fort Campbell, Bob Jenkins, said Abdo was not aware of an investigation into child pornography in November.

Abdo has lived for five years after his mother and sister in a duplex near the corner of Garland, Yawonna Wilson. Wilson said the family moved away about a year ago.

Shakira Doss, a neighbor who went to the same Dallas-area high schools Abdo, and was a friend of his sister, said he was not surprised by the news of the alleged plot, because the suspect looked "weird." When he visited Abdo two floors, Doss said to spend most of the time in his room.

Abdo sister, "was all friends," said Doss, 17 years, high school senior. "His brother just do not fit in."

Abdo tried to buy a shootout on July 3 in Quantico, a location near Fort Campbell in Oak Grove, Kentucky, said David Hensley, president of the chain of seven stores.

Abdo says Hensley went to the store twice a day. For the first time, when you ask questions, and departed. The second time he tried to buy a gun, says Hensley.

"He has shown a behavior that alerted our staff and our staff has been refused on the basis of this behavior, to sell him a gun," he said.

Hensley said usually when someone buys a gun, the federal paperwork filled out, and there is an instant background check by the FBI, they did not even get to this point.

Strange baby name banned by judge

It's true, move on Betty White, Susie Sanchez is here!

Oakland Raiders have hired Sanchez, who is a grandmother, is one of them part-time cheerleader for the season 2011-12.

While Susie is technically a grandmother, she could not be cut from the mold that pops into your mind when you hear that word. Susie is 37, mother of three and grandmother of one, and after several auditions for the cheerleader on the sidelines, she finally received the call.

Hollister Pinnacle ...

Sanchez again impressed the judges with his dancing ability, skills, and attendance later that same week - she had been dancing since she was 8, after all - and can now say with certainty it is the most former member of Raid and Tourrettes.

"I just started crying," she said when she heard his number called - Lucky No. 45 "He was like, 'wow'. I was overcome with emotion ... just never give up. "

[Related: The oldest cheerleader in the NFL]

Although I'm sure many people are currently thinking of their best Al Davis / old jokes, we must emphasize that Susie is not the first grandmother to do the cheerleading squad for the Raiders. The honor goes to Kathy Ferrin, who was attached to a raid right back in '03-04, but still a pretty impressive performance considering most cheerleaders button looks old enough to vote.

So congratulations to Susie. Many people give their dreams, long before they hit 30, does not matter if there is a basketball player or a doctor or even a cheerleader, but it seems that he searched and finally landed on it. Although it may seem strange, we all can certainly learn a lot from my grandmother in Oakland.

But what makes the oldest cheerleader in the NFL Susie? Unfortunately, no. That honor goes to Bengals Vikmanis Laura is 42 and still going strong.

Dramatic turn in House debt vote

Endgame at hand, House Republicans on Thursday struggled to legislate to prevent an imminent government default, cutting nearly $ 1 trillion of federal spending. The Senate Democrats have promised to abolish the law - if he has - in the hope of forcing a final compromise.

As the discussion in the afternoon turned to night, GOP leaders made a high at the time inexplicable and president, John Boehner has convened a number of recalcitrant Republicans basis for his office.

. Asked what he had spoken and Boehner, Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz, said: "I think it's pretty obvious .. There are ongoing negotiations.".

Another Republican, Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, said he was unhappy Boehner was thrown into the requirement contained in previous legislation, Congress passed the balanced budget constitutional amendment and send to the states for ratification.

"Why are we negotiating with ourselves?" He asked.

It was not clear how long the delay may persist, but a spokesman for Boehner said the vote was still scheduled for later in the evening.

The White House quickly mocked Boehner are Republicans.

"The clock is ticking to the House on August 2 is the appointment of post offices, when leaders twist arms to vote for in vain. No wonder people hate Washington," White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer, Twitter.

Previously Boehner exuded optimism.

"Let us pass this bill and end the crisis," said the principal Republican opponent of the president in a controversial new era of divided government. "It increases the limit of debt and government spending cuts by a larger amount. "

President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the measure, and the debate in the House, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida is used as a "Republican plan for non-payment." He hoped that the Republican Party to "keep our economy hostage while forcing an ideological agenda" of the country.

Despite the strong rhetoric, there are signs that could be stripped stagnation.

"This area must have died before having a breakthrough," said Sen. Kent Conrad, DN.D. "We're at that stage now."

Wall Street suffered more losses than the Congress struggling to break the long impasse. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell for a fifth straight session.

The Treasury Department has moved forward with plans to hold its regular weekly auction of the values ​​of three and six months on Monday. However, officials offered no information on the measures to be taken if Congress did not raise the limit 14300000000000 debt of the nation, the next day.

Without a law signed on August 2, the Ministry of Finance has sufficient funds to pay all the bills of the nation. Administration officials have warned about the potentially catastrophic for the economy, if this happens - spike in interest rates, the stock market crash and the tightening labor market in a nation already struggling with unemployment more than 9 percent.

White House press secretary Jay Carney presented a compromise between the White House terms "significant deficit reduction, a mechanism, which Congress would have tough questions about tax reform and judicial reform and the removal of the roof of the debt for more than .. . in 2013. "

The latter seems to be the biggest obstacle.

House spending bill cuts $ 917 billion over a decade, especially the cost of maintaining hundreds of government programs by the Park Service of the Ministry of Agriculture, and foreign aid.

It also provides an immediate increase of $ 900 billion debt limit, which is less than half that required to satisfy the insistence that Obama is not repeated in the current crisis in the heat of the 2012 election campaigns.

An additional $ 1.6 billion borrowing authority would be conditioned upon the approval of at least 1.8 trillion of savings to be recommended by a newly created committee of lawmakers. These deficit reductions likely to come from cuts in benefit programs like Social Security and Medicare, and the revision of the tax code to generate additional revenue.

GOP Bills 917 000 000 000 dollars in cuts were ahead Tea Party trillion less than many legislators supported the rank and file Republican, but all that seemed almost unthinkable when they took power in the House in winter last with an agenda of reining in government. Many Republicans grumbled that the legislation does not cut deeper, and Boehner and the rest of the GOP leadership used their week cajoling reluctant to give the conservative votes needed to adopt it.

Reportedly, they succeeded.

"It gives us some heartburn, because it is not high enough," said Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Wis., A first-term legislator who said he would vote for the draft law as the best available.

Another first-term Republican, Rep. Martha Roby of Alabama, said the bill was "far from perfect. But I do not have the luxury to write the plan myself, neither the President Boehner. "

While the White House and Democrats opposed the House bill, developed an alternative that contains similarities.

Prepared by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, it allows 2.7 trillion in additional borrowing authority for the Treasury. It also calls for reductions of $ 2.2 trillion, about $ 1 trillion Pentagon savings, assuming the completion of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Even before the House voted, Reid has indicated that it will hold a vote to eliminate the legislation almost immediately.

"No Democrat will vote for a short term band-aid that would jeopardize our economy and put the nation back into this untenable situation a few months from now," he said.

With the House and Senate focused on the debt limit legislation on opposite ends of the Capitol, eleven religious leaders protest against budget cuts were arrested in mid-Rotonde between the two chambers.

Democratic Republic of Chelli Pingree, Maine House of Commons, said he prayed for those who are "more evil", the bill is being considered.

Rep. David Dreier, R-CALIF, fighting praying. - To avoid default.

The day's events marked the culmination of the struggle that began last winter, when the Ministry of Finance announced that the Congress must borrow more authority, and Boehner said the increase should have provided for measures to reduce future costs.

Early in the White House balked at the terms, then gave way. It eventually turned into a series of bipartite negotiations, one led by Vice President Joe Biden, Obama then another, and finally a round of golf that led to push for a "grand bargain" between President and Boehner.

Boehner said on Friday that it was calling off the talks, the launching of a week of frantic maneuvering the default time approaching.

project runway season 9




Even if the original eight contestants pm Project Runway swimming are not only exclusively for the capital's most famous design, there is no doubt that Denver had a huge impact on display this past year as a World War, which ran second place and first in all hearts. So perhaps it is no coincidence that this first season the track grabbing another eccentric designer in Denver: Fallen Wells, who is best known as the mastermind behind forever Darling (West and 2010 Word Mastermind otherwise). Yet, as Wells himself to inform you, the track is not child's play, and he came in and received the value of their substantial experience.

It's been a long time to come, and season 9 of Project Runway has finally made its debut tonight. Already we got up with Wells to talk about the issue and how, if at first you do not succeed, try again.

Westword: So how land in the project runway?

Wells dropped: this was the second time auditions, really. I did it again this year, and it seemed to go pretty well, so I ended the show. But it was a long process, certainly.

What was the first hearing?

I tested last year in spring, and I just had a different collection at the moment. And then talk to Mondo in November, I asked because, I try again? Is it useful? And what he said was that he had tried a lot of times, too - it seems that many designers of the fair to try a couple of times before you get on, is on the amount you want. So I tried again this year with a different collection, and I think that was what they wanted.

Speaking of the World, has certainly made a big impact last season shows - What was it like to follow this? How, do you feel alive in the shadow of the World or something?

I think - I hate to say I am the shadow of Mondo. We are totally different design and totally different people. Both sought last year, and if I had done in his place, then it would pave the way for Mondo. It was just his time last year, I think, and this year is my time. But also, I think is really great because I have someone in Denver who can talk about this experience and I think that is quite rare. And I think all the press in Denver fashion is really great, and hopefully more designers on the runway in Denver project, and I really do not think they are being in my shadow. I think it's just a different trip.

As has wrapped shooting the series, and we know the winner, but no one will know until the end of the season, which is months. What it feels like to maintain this kind of secret?

In fact, I do not know the winner - I will not know until Fashion Week. To be honest, it's like when you see a really good film, and you talk to someone and you do not want to spoil the end. I think it was like, the most dramatic seasons in years, and why should I spoil that for everyone? I have a big mouth, and especially to be a hairdresser, can you imagine how many people ask me. But I do not want to spoil the results. It's just not as cool.

In fact, I thought: Now that you have made Project Runway, do you keep doing your hair, or are you really just want to make the design in the future?

You know, I like doing hair. I think it keeps me healthy. Many designers do not have much social interaction, as I do with my hair-do, and I think it's a good thing to have. So I think I'll move my business to a type of hair as part-time but still want to do. My goal with Project Runway is really I think it's good to have exposure to the fashion scene in Denver, and also to show that I do in September [Forever Darling], but still want to keep doing what I do.

So the last thing I wanted to ask is that you named as your track designer Jay McCarroll favorite before I was a little surprised. It was a conscious effort not to go with the obvious choice, or just do not like Jay?

Yes, it pissed a lot of people! I really like Jay. I like Mondo, but I would just like Jay has a sense of fashion. I thought his collection was the most stand-out for me during all seasons - but that's just my opinion. Fashion is so subjective and it is something you can not be too sensitive - especially on Project Runway. So it was not a personal attack on Mondo, Mondo and I am sure will see this season, and I will not be her favorite designer, either - I could not even be my family's favorite designer - but of course we are friends, otherwise it does not help me throw this party tonight for. But I do not think there should really be a problem. Just because it is in my city, what if it is a terrible designer? Do I still need him? It is not, of course, I like its design, but I just think to each his own.

Patriots - New England Patriots

We have seen this pattern sent by the Patriots before: Take a top-shelf player after the end of his years of football the main, a boy who happens to be lugging more luggage JetBlue, leads him to New England is cheap, use it squishy concept of Patriot Street is often cited but rarely defined the principles that make NFL scouts as part of the bad guys and relax and watch a boy to become a key cog of the machine Belichickian.

Rodney Harrison became known as the dirtiest player in the league. Corey Dillon has been dubbed "bad" in Cincinnati. Randy Moss had torpedoed the locker room and doze, and his way of Oakland. All were quickly picked up in New England.

However, the pending acquisition of the Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth for a future fifth-round l'affaire, one of the largest truncated season, has not yet been consolidated, the Patriots coach Bill Belichick recalled many Sometimes the media Thursday, has a different meaning to it. Harrison Dillon, and may have been headaches for their teams before. Moss could have been a migraine. Even the Patriots in the afternoon over the shame of another player, ego-oriented Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco only gives the Patriots the type of problem can be cured with a couple of Excedrin.

But Haynesworth? This guy is a jackhammer in the cerebellum, and there was a mountain of problems, even when he was at his best. However, Haynesworth talent makes this movement is obvious in New England, but will be transferred to normal along Ochocinco.

Nobody needs to the list New England did not even need a receiver playing unprecedented Ochocinco will try to fill than was beefing the defensive front. The Patriots ranked last in the league in third down efficiency last year (to a rate of 47.1 percent conversion), but they failed to solve the problem in the project. And then there Haynesworth, who could be part of an excellent three men in front with Vince Wilfork and Ty Warren.

When asked a lot, Warren shook his head, taking into account the possible. "This is always a great buy, which happens a lot," said Warren. "I did not see his film last year. But I remember seeing a couple of years ago and has a knack strange."

Albert Haynesworth is unhappy in New England Patriots and Redskins are about to finalize an agreement. (AP Photo)

The most obvious problem with the Patriots Haynesworth is making a base defense 3.4, and the genesis of the problems in Washington Haynesworth said that his contempt for the regime the team 4.3. He skipped workouts, ran out of the way, which always plays on the left in conflict with coach Mike Shanahan, and was eventually suspended the final four games of the season.

The Patriots, however, run a variety of packages and the defensive team would not move on unless there is some assurance that Haynesworth may be able to succeed on a defense that desperately needs a player caliber. "Obviously, defensively, the two things you want to do is put pressure on the quarterback and cover receivers in the game," Belichick said. "That's what the defense is going, the two things that work together, the time, he coordinated and executed. This is what the passing game is all about. You can never have too many pass rush and you can never have too many pass coverage. "

You may perhaps have too much to handle in the locker room and is the main concern of Haynesworth. The Patriots were able to handle some heads in the past, I usually strip the fairgrounds Ochocino first, the man whose act is annoying in other places. Haynesworth, however, had serious problems out of the camera, including a long series of traffic violations and a charge of sexual expectations of a waitress who claimed that his groping Haynesworth. In the two years he spent with the Redskins after signing seven-year, $ 100 million, Haynesworth clearly worn out the patience of his teammates.

But the Patriots rely on their reclamation history. They have the carrot and stick things down. The carrot is always a chance to win a Super Bowl. The stick is the ability to just cut all those who are more harmful than an interpreter. Last year, Belichick let Moss go four games in a season 14-2. He could do the same with Haynesworth, but at least it would have essentially the same defense that he had last year.

"We generally have good, honest guys who come here, although they had a bad reputation or whatever it might be elsewhere," said Wilfork. "But it has always worked for us. One thing that will not change is that if they are with us, they are with us. If not, guess what? The train again without you."

And so, out of the station, at least, the Patriots' Haynesworth is on the train as a passenger. If it is still on board, at the end, one of the biggest problems of this group have been resolved.

Patriots deal for Chad Ochocinco

Tags with New england patriots, patriots, cincinnati bengals, albert haynesworth, nfl ,The Patriots have taken a big hit, reaching an agreement to acquire the receiver Chad Ochocinco the Cincinnati Bengals. And they include support for a body that has suffered from the reception against the Jets in the playoffs.

Cincinnati gets two draft picks and Ochocinco later restructured his contract to a three-year contract.

Three teams were in fact authorized to act on it, including the 49ers and Raiders. The Patriots won.

While coach Bill Belichick may have only Ochocinco negotiated today, the case was long in gestation. In fact, Belichick and the player formerly known as Chad Johnson was openly flirting for at least five years.

During the 2006 season, Belichick and Johnson exchanged good-natured trash talk with the recipient to discuss with the coach who would cover each of them: "I'm not going to score. I'll stop in one and out of bounds or something as well. "

"This is a cheerful, very competitive," Belichick said in August 2009. "When he's on the floor, likes to compete and work hard, practice hard. Challenge the kids in every situation. I respect, I think it's a fantastic player. I love his competitiveness. It's a difficult guy to compete. It's great. "

Norway suspect seeks public platform

Anders Breivik Norway and Behring wants to tell the world, because it has killed at least 93 people in the fury of bombing and shooting, but the judge hearing the case decided that Monday would be closed to the public.

Crowds packed in the Oslo Cathedral Square swelled to five minutes of silence. They were just a sound of traffic at intersections, crying seagulls, and the dog barks.

"This is so sad, so sad," said Kent Ludvigsen, 42, a square, where people are more flowers piled up on the carpet of flowers for the dead there on Friday because of the violence shocked the normally tranquil 4.8 million in March.

"This is a tragic event to see all these young people are dying from the madness of a man," said Sven-Erik Fredheim, 36, a mechanic, Reuters, near the Plaza de la Catedral.

"It is important that this moment of silence for all victims and relatives of the family know that people think about them."

Prosecutors want Breivik first eight weeks in jail - this is usually in isolation, without access to news, letters, or visitors, except for a lawyer. His expectations may be extended until the trial on terrorism charges.

Police said that the trial will be a year away. Maximum sentence in Norway is 21 years, although it may be extended if there is a risk of recurrence.

"In theory, could be in prison for the rest of his life," said Staal Eskeland, criminal law professor at the University of Oslo.

The desire for publicity

Breivik, a confessed mass murderer, his lawyer said he wants to explain his motivations at the hearing.

32-year-old, who describes himself as a crusader against the tide of Islam in a rambling 1500-page manifesto of the network, says he wants to explain his work is considered "bad" but "necessary."

The hearing, scheduled to start after 1:00 (11:00 GMT), opened a debate on freedom of expression, with many people, unlike so Breivik to explain his radical views.

More than 60,000 have signed a Facebook page called "Close the doors on Monday," calling the court to reject advertising Breivik you want.

Another Facebook group called "Boycott Behring Anders Breivik" message bar "He planned this phase of propaganda to win it does get freedom ... Boycott all media, describing the terrorist Norwegian and his faith. ".

Breivik asked to wear a uniform in court but his lawyer, Geir Lippestad, said he does not know what kind. The killer was dressed as a policeman during his shooting.

Breivik has not served in the armed forces, but in some of the pictures he posted on the Internet before his murder, he was dressed in a military-style dress.

A small group of people gathered outside the courthouse in Oslo, although they were outnumbered by journalists.

Lippestad said his client had admitted to shooting at a youth camp work and a bomb that killed seven people in the government district of Oslo, but denies criminal culpability.

"It 'been active in politics and found himself, he was unable to traditional policy instruments, and so resorted to violence," he told TV2 News Lippestad.

"I am a medical evaluation of him," he said.

Save the Earth Europe

The massacre of more than peacetime in modern history of Norway Breivik was driven by self-imposed mission to save Europe from the perceived threat of Islam, immigration and multiculturalism.

Who had surrendered to the police, when the front end is a small island Utoeya after shooting dead 86 young men to emphasize its desire to secure a public forum.

Breivik said in its manifesto, posted hours before the attack, if he survived his attack and was arrested, this would "mark the beginning of the phase of propaganda."

Norwegian newspapers focused on the victims of the shock turned to grief when the cooling of the new island of the massacre, and focusing on acts of courage that saved his life.

The main broadsheet Aftenposten has been with "pain unites Norway" and printed an image of a central Oslo with flowers and lit candles in memory of the dead.

Dagsavisen Journal asked: "Why did not you come earlier?" Citing the cries of young people as the police arrived on Friday Utoeya island - an hour after being notified of the shooting.

Breivik police believe acted alone, having lost faith in traditional political parties, even those who have gained popularity and the parliamentary seats in the anti-immigration in another liberal and tolerant of European nations, including the rich , Norway.

The attack was likely to minimize the immigration debate in front of the local elections in September, analysts said, that the parties attempt to distance themselves from beliefs and promote Breivik Norway for himself as an open process of peaceful people.

Number of immigrants in Norway have almost tripled between 1995 and 2010 to reach nearly half a million. The feeling that many documents have been produced with the generous assistance from Norway helped spur the growth of the Progress Party has become the second largest in the parliament of Norway after the 2009 elections on a platform largely anti-immigrant.

Conspiring to "resist"

Breivik was once a member of the party, but left to complain that it was too politically correct. Then he began scheming to "oppose", burying ammunition for more than a year ago, lifting weights, which can store up credit cards and explore the bombs while playing online war games.

After three months of hitting the mix fertilizer and laboriously, aspirin and the other on a remote farm, Breivik was driving a rental car full of results in the center of Oslo, on Friday, causing the device off the government offices, killing seven and smashing thousands of windows.

Then he made a small island Utoeya, 45 km (28 miles). Dressed with the police, he calmly shot down by young people of youth summer camp of the Workers Party government '. His terrified victims tried to hide behind the bed or in the woods. Some jumped into the lake and tried to swim to the mainland.

"It will be an all or nothing scenario," said Breivik magazine in its English-language online on the morning of the attack. "First comes the costume party this fall, dress like a police officer. :-) Badges will arrive with great people will be very surprised :-)."

The surgeon at the hospital who has treated 35 injured Breivik said could be used 'dum-dum "bullets in most of the damage.

"These bullets do not explode inside the body, but fragmented into pieces faster than other balls," Colin Poole, head of the Ringerike district hospital, told Reuters.

Even if he was chasing his prey on Breivik Utoeya, the police took an hour to get a team of elite troops to the island after a boat, overloaded with officers and equipment, was forced to stop when he started fetch water.

Norwegian TV has managed to rent a helicopter and shot the murderer before the police arrived. When the team arrived armed Breivik surrendered without a sigh

Navy prepares submarines for 1st female officers

Legrand is among a small group of women police officers who are forming the sites included in Groton, Connecticut, to join the elite submarine force earlier this year. Although the Navy says it is not to treat them differently from their male counterparts, officials have worked to prepare the submarine crews - and the wives of sailors - one of the most dramatic changes in the history of 111 years in the Navy "silent service."

The first class of 24 women will be divided into four submarines, where they will outnumber men by a ratio of about 1 and 25. Non-commissioned members, who represent about 90 percent of the crew of a submarine 160 that are not open to women, although the Navy is studying changes to create separate bunks for men and women.

The setting was an exhibition match that took place in Manila on Friday night, North American time. The Philippines is a basketball crazy country of more than one genre won All-Star Game between NBA players and the cream of the crop of Philippine Basketball Association. And via a Tweet sent our way on Saturday, we have this tension of Kobe to D-Rose:

Submarines prepare for female officers

For Ensign Peggy Legrand, the biggest concern for serving on a submarine is not to spend weeks at a time in cramped quarters with a crew of men. That concern is the review comes to breaking one of the last barriers between the sexes in the U.S. Army.

"I feel that more people will focus on us. Our mistakes and successes will be magnified more than they deserve," said Legrand, 25, graduated from the Naval Academy Amarillo, Texas.

Legrand is among a small group of women police officers who are forming the sites included in Groton, Connecticut, to join the elite submarine force earlier this year. Although the Navy says it is not to treat them differently from their male counterparts, officials have worked to prepare the submarine crews - and the wives of sailors - one of the most dramatic changes in the history of 111 years in the Navy "silent service."

The first class of 24 women will be divided into four submarines, where they will outnumber men by a ratio of about 1 and 25. Non-commissioned members, who represent about 90 percent of the crew of a submarine 160 that are not open to women, although the Navy is studying changes to create separate bunks for men and women.

The officials of the women, many of them graduates in engineering from Annapolis, used to be in the minority, and so far say they feel like strangers sentence. The school of nuclear energy is a part of their training, for example, was opened to women for years because the Navy in 1994, overturned the ban on women serving on surface ships, including nuclear power boats .

U.S. Navy Submarine School in Groton, where eight women have been dozens, who recently completed 10 weeks of basic training officer, Ensign Kristin Lyles said that the presence of a first-class females, the way a submarine duty I'm not even notice when this month of graduation.

"I understand why. Has never been explained, but it was just that if we go through training when they began to draw attention to the way it is we single out," said said Lyle, 23, of Fairfax Station, Va. "In my experience, I am not different from the man sitting next to me in all my classes."

A group spokesman of the submarine, Lieutenant Brian Wierzbicki, said the Navy would facilitate photographs and interviews with female submarine because it does not turn them away from education or getting them to feel differently their male colleagues.

Female agents submarines reportedly will begin in late November or early December. All ships are guided-missile attack submarines or ballistic missile submarines, which are relatively large submarine standards. They are the USS Wyoming and USS Georgia, is based on Kings Bay, Georgia, and the USS Maine and USS Ohio, is the front door in Bangor, Washington

On submarines with corridors wide enough for sailors to brush against each other, the six female officers on board all share a cab. Their movements will be divided so that women are assigned to each two in the crew rotation. The bathroom isolated for officers to have a reversible character, to let men know that it is in use by women and vice versa.

LeGrand said she is not worried about being outnumbered.

"Space is at a premium and there is room for everyone. Just get over it and do the job," he said in a telephone interview.

She said she is pleased with the opportunity to rejoin the community of soldiers under water, but does not stop being a barrier breaker.

"Occasionally I think about it and yes, okay, but in the end, I'm happy that I have the opportunity to serve on a submarine," he said.

Change is a source of anxiety for others, including wives of divers, who feared the close contact of the sea, the sailors could lead to cheating.

"The question is really about creating a relationship that becomes very narrow and the results in terms of relations still on the ground. That, of course, which annoys the wives. They know the kind of relationships occur among peers, "said Navy Rear Admiral WJ Holland against retired Jr., commander of submarines of age.

Holland said commanders are reluctant to have women on submarines, said the Navy has achieved a formidable challenge last year by banning smoking in submarines. The teams can adapt, he said.

The Navy has a ban on women in submarines in April 2010. In the fall, when officials announced the submarines first female elected to take senior officers held meetings with the city crew and their families to solve their problems. Wierzbicki, the Navy spokesman, said the training was provided for the crews and commanders to prepare for change.

The submarine was the last class of warship off limits to women. Navy officials said they learned a lesson from surface ships of integration is to make the transition gradually. The Navy wants to make sure you are aware of all possible problems that may arise, according to Lt. Cmdr. John Sullivan, head of the personnel policy of the navy for women.

"There will be challenges of leadership and the challenges of maturity for someone to deal with their first job. There's just an emphasis on it because they are the first submarine," said Sullivan.

The Chairman of the Advisory Committee for the Defense of Women in the Services, retired Army Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy, told a committee meeting last month that a risk is that men feel obligated and do not appreciate the presence of women.

"One of the issues surrounding women are integrated into this reflection," Oh, now, you're here, we can not do XYZ, '"says Kennedy." And this creates a greater sense of isolation and exclusion women. "

The Navy is looking to bring women on board the small Virginia-class attack sub, which requires reconfiguration to adapt to the men and women together.

LeGrand said the submarines of various missions of attack would be attractive, but the largest submarines are fine with it.

As a semi-professional cyclist, she hopes to serve on a large enough sub to bring on a stationary bike.

Dating blunders even smart men make

The men - even very smart people - can have all kinds of pitfalls, pratfalls, and strange situations on the road to search for True Romance. I'm one of these threats to the XY-OHS clear ring true with you?

Choosing a mate of his appearance

Of course, looking at the issue. But be careful what you wish: "What happens to me often with a guy who is dating a beautiful woman, is that it starts with great feeling that is hot with that person," said Ron May, a psychologist in private practice Madison, WI, part of the editorial board of the psychology of men and masculinity. "But then I began to fear that other men she wants. He gets jealous, and can undermine the relationship."

Assuming that you are being "reasonable"

Men often undeserved proud to be rational, but the fact is that "each side has a reasonable means can be unreasonable at times," said Daniel L. Buccino, a social worker and assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, MD. "Early in the relationship, when there is a lot of hormones, and lust, people sometimes forget the underlying problems. If a woman misbehaves, groped her partner can be convinced that this is OK, which and that will not behave this way because all women are more emotional than men. The reality may be simply that it is not a suitable partner for him. "

Buccino says: "I often see the stage to address the" good "is called with the" average "man, when results are at the same time difficult. Despite its soft exterior, a man can be very controlling many questions. You really have to have things their way. Try to do this in what appears to be a very nice and reasonable, but when the emotional response to their lack of flexibility, you can step back and say "Of course I'm the only reasonable." Then you feel good. "

Trying to "fix" everything

In presenting the report of the challenge, the men often return to Mr. Fix-It mode. "And 'a man of product grown in a culture that emphasizes management. Much of our work is oriented towards understanding things and rationalize things," says May. These skills are equally important when it comes to relationships, with facial expressions and nonverbal messages are the key to good communication. "A woman might say," When you're traveling for a business trip, I began to feel alone and scared, "he says." Classic response "too rational" male - "This makes no sense, you're successful woman in a lot of friends" - canceled his true feeling, wish and want to feel close to her husband. "

Suppress negative feelings

Surprisingly, many men are the epitome of the emotions of men as scary as a dark room is that of a small child. "Men are often afraid that if they allow themselves to be angry, they'll become violent as a therapist, I try to get them to talk if they have lost control of their anger, I ask .." Did you ever hit someone or damaged property? "Said Bob Maslow, a clinical psychologist in private practice in Charlottesville, Virginia, and author of men, women and power of empathy.". When they realize they do not have to give them the support they need confidence that they will be able to express their anger in a non-destructive, "Maslow said," If you always bury your anger you become distant and withdrawn. For a mature woman, she is more threatening than an expression of anger.

Both sexes can suffer from "White Knight Syndrome" - the desire to save the romantic partner of his personal problems. But as the white knight also play the traditional role of care a woman might end up hiding her true motives and his companion and himself, LeslieBeth Wish, a social worker in Sarasota, FL, who writes, qualityhealth.com " Actually Relationship "column. "If you feel psychologically damaged or empty, you're the black sheep in your family, for example, you can choose someone who is poor and therefore more vulnerable than you," Wish says, adding: "A man must ask:" I tend to be cyclical patterns in women who are looking at me? I would be a beautiful woman who makes more money or more than me, there are many advantages and features, it has serious limitations? '"

Cheating

Despite the triumphant image, the "player" or "Lady Killer" (to use the word quaint days of our grandparents) may not be as safe as it seems. "Deception is a way to build a shield of privacy and protect themselves not to get hurt," says Karen Shanor, a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist in private practice in Washington, DC, and author of seven books on relationships . "Many times early in a relationship, we receive many signs that a person is not trustworthy," Shanor said. People in emotional awareness to respond to these warning signs coming out as quickly as possible. However, some men engage in this Shanor called "defensive trap" thinking. "You better cheat on his first so you do not hurt me"

"Gloria Tate, Dallas-based family counselor, says the man who has learned to hide his anger to punish his partner in many ways:" The public thinks that only women retain affection, but to control the behavior of men, too. Some men are doing it for years. Men also cheat when they are angry. "

Why Borders couldn't avoid collapse

The last day for Borders Group Inc. is in front. The second largest country in the bookseller abandoned the last chance attempt to save the company intensified this week after a few bidders.

The nearly 400 stores remain open borders could begin to liquidate and sell assets as of Friday. The plan is for everyone to stop for good in September, leaving about 10,000 employees out of work.

There were many mistakes that caused the company to fail to take too much debt, opening too many stores and jump into the e-business players at the end. More importantly, there was a "mistake" that put the final nail in the coffin of borders, "said Howard Davidowitz Davidowitz retail experts & Associates.

"I think the biggest thing was hurting borders, when they turned to their online activities and the Amazon," says Davidowitz Ticker and the Daily Task Aaron Breakout Jeff Macke accompanying interview. "And 'ready to go, because he gave away for the future."

Davidowitz is not to renounce the library or the United States.

"The retail industry is a change," but there is still room for the library in the heart and life for many Americans who use them as a place for meetings, gatherings and just hanging out with friends . Davidowitz said the bookstore is going nowhere fast, but we can expect to see a much of them.

As for the 10 million square feet of commercial space empty, Davidowitz predicts the large multi-level store will probably lay vacant for some time, which will put pressure on small developers and community banks in these areas. Most Borders stores will be eaten by small retailers thrive now as Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), he said.

'Spider-Man' star's geeky trick on fans




At the beginning of "Amazing Spider-Man 'Comic-Con on Friday, the moderator interrupts the permanent member of the audience dressed from head to toe in ill-fitting Spider-Man costume.

"Excuse me, mind if I. .. Hello everyone!" he cried, stammering, nervous Spidey fan.

"We will answer questions at the end," directed by the moderator.

"I can say anything? I think this might be the most incredible day of my life. I've always wanted to be at Comic-Con in Hall H, as Spider-Man, with all of you.'s Always been a dream for me. "

The man tore off the mask, revealing that it was actually Andrew Garfield, the star of the new movie. "So thank you for inviting me." The crowd went crazy.

Garfield, who looked much like the star of the cinema fan, told the audience: "This is the most beautiful moment of my life."

The big question is: "The Amazing Spider-Man" panel on Friday was like this new film, scheduled to open July 3 to be different from that of the popular franchise, Sam Raimi. The fans got some answers.

One of the biggest differences, refers to when an updated version of the costume was unveiled earlier this year, is that this iteration of Spidey is going to be lean. While in films Raimi, stars Tobey Maguire celebrated a great job for the role in this film, the superhero is designed to match the slender shape of his head, Andrew Garfield. Director Marc Webb revealed that most of the new and in some neighborhoods, controversy, demand has arisen with a doctor of superheroes in mind. Webb was probably influenced by "The Ultimate Spider-Man" cartoon series, which was an agile and flexible web-shooting Spidey.

"How often do you see a thin guy guys hit up high?" Garfield thought on stage.

The panel shows a pair of pliers extended the film. In one scene in the first clip, Peter Parker stammered his way through a conversation with Gwen Stacey (Emma Stone, who is in everything these days).

Another difference, which received applause from hardcore fans, is that in this film, Peter Parker, to build a web-shooters, in line with the comics. Raimi's version, the famous Spidey emissions from organic fiber fired wrists.

In the second clip, viewers were treated with a first look at the enemy scaly Lizard Spider-Man. In the comic book and film, Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans) is one of the armed herpetologist (reptile known expert), who try to find a way to increase his leg causing him to become a huge crocodile being. Lizard clip showed a couple of terrifying young girls, after emerging from a sewer in a public restroom.

Among questions and answers, Garfield, was peppered with most of the questions. He revealed that the four months, he had announced as the new Spider-Man and the start of production, he spent time in the life of a grueling training system and a "mess".

"It was a period of four months in a terrifying ... The weight that I did not really understand until I went into the locker room. Scary. I felt responsible."

Date of notice, however, Garfield received a surprise call from a guy who formerly lived in costume.

Tobey Maguire "kind of gave me his blessing that made me feel OK to jump in ... He is the best. I'm Tobey team."
