In The News Today...

Insurance company reasoning is that they can deny responsibility for 'big bucks' because you didn't tell us when it was 'spare change'.

Of course there may be a reasonable or at least plausible concern that an employee might fear retaliation, criminal charges being concocted against him, loss of being employable rather than just loss of his job. And is there any reason that the Head Coach might have considered the report to be false or even maliciously so?

Everyone wants to look back with rose colored spectacles but what if an issue is made of it and the jury votes 'not guilty'? Who pays the price then?

Remember when Irish Priests and Gentry would knock up Irish girls (age of consent was nine) or when Irish Catholic husbands who lost the services of their wives were expected to take the eldest daughter as a replacement? The Protestants sing about "Evil Spawn" and they "raped and fondled their kids'' .... none of this was ever prosecuted as a crime but the taverns and streets still echo with the accusations.

50-80,000 people evacuated from Fort McMurray, Alberta:

My friends working up there are safe and out of the city now, though they were stuck on the road last night. Fort Mac has taken a beating in the last year due to the slump in oil prices... it was a much more packed town when the oil price was $100/barrel.

It reminds me of the 2011 Slave Lake fire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Slave_Lake_wildfire

Sounds like a terrible course of events, large fire in BC as well; http://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/b-c-crews-chase-fort-st-john-wildfire-as-it-crosses-border-into-alberta

More Joe Paterno bombshells
A 65yr old victim is speaking. This person has been known by the police and Penn St
He's already part of the settlement
1971 He was 15 and told Joe Paterno he was molested by Sandusky
Joe Paterno accused him of lying and threatened to go to the police and have him arrested for making a false accusation
WOW
What a sicko, Paterno of course.

I think a fifteen year old would have left evidence on his attacker.

I do think it is possible paterno didn't believe the first victim. Probably reasonably couldn't imagine Sandusky could do something like that. But if he kept hearing about new kids, he really was totally culpable for not acting at some point.

IF ONLY .....

Math professor from UPenn questioned by authorities for doing math while waiting to board aircraft.

If only he were indeed working on a weapon of math destruction..... I'd love to destroy math. Maybe then I'd be able to win at Blackjack. Or atleast not have to wear open toed sandals to do the counting.

When does someone say out loud that it is time to go all-in or fold over there?

Yeah, one or the other. Makes me believe, that is not the outcome they desire.

For a guy that was anti-war, Obama has indeed liked to fight them. Probably forced to do so by reality. Can almost see him running across Bush when they are both at Dinky Donuts and Bush says, "so, not as easy as you thought it was, eh?"

You do have to wonder where it ends. Currently we have a shortage of drone pilots. They get the same kind of PTSD any other combat vet gets, different triggers, but they get it. They get to live in Vegas, commute to the office, and kill people. Meanwhile they get no respect. While they pull 12 hour shifts the public thinks it is all video games. Meanwhile, the world thinks we are cowards.

Obama seems to be in a trick bag made by ISIS. Getting in deeper and deeper. ISIS read Sun Tzu better than Obama did. Sadly, this will go on 10 more years before the public really cares.
