"Blood for Poppies" lyrics:

Salute the sun I've been sitting here all night long
Hauling rock over Buddha with the Longhorn
I got a hole so rip a pocket off my uniform
With the Blackwatch Boys gets your heads down
Duty calls but it is way too late I'm too far gone
Waiting for Godot hell with my pants down
Cracked the stash sent me crying in the midday sun
I miss my dog and I miss my freedom

I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they're calling on the radio
He's by my side and I know I'm right

I hate the things I think about you when I'm all alone
I know you're tough but I've been gone for so long
I play the memories of you inside my head
So all those pictures of us burn and radiate
Watch the clouds and I'm falling, falling through the cracks
Head beats and the heart is pounding fast
Off the ground into the starry dark
Into your arms I'm falling
I'm falling I'm falling

I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they're calling on the radio
He's by my side and I know I'm right

My brain my body's fried
I've got to stay alive
I've got to take a chance and keep on moving

I don't know why they are calling on the radio
They know I'm here just out of sight
I don't know why they're calling on the radio
He's by my side and I know I'm right

I see your light from miles away
I see your light from miles away
I see your light from miles away

Jose Canseco files Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Nevada | Comcast

LAS VEGAS (AP) ? Former Oakland Athletics slugger Jose Canseco has filed for bankruptcy protection in Nevada.

The 1986 American League rookie of the year and 1988 league MVP with the A's is seeking asset liquidation in Chapter 7 documents filed Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Las Vegas.

Canseco's bankruptcy attorney, Mark Segal (SEE-gal) declined to comment Wednesday.

The bankruptcy petition says the 48-year-old Canseco lives in Las Vegas.

The filing was first reported by the Las Vegas Sun.

It lists less than $21,000 in assets and almost $1.7 million in liabilities, including more than $500,000 owed to the Internal Revenue Service.

Canseco hit 462 home runs during 16 years on eight major league teams.

He was a six-time All-Star and two-time World Series winner.

He later admitted using performance-enhancing drugs.

297-lb Texas boy too big to play peewee football | General Headlines | Comcast

MESQUITE, Texas ? A suburban Dallas boy has been barred from playing peewee football because the league says he is just too big at nearly 300 pounds.
Mesquite Pee Wee Football Association President Ronnie Henderson said the rules are clear and 12-year-old Elijah Earnheart is not eligible. The 6-foot-1-inch boy exceeds the 135-pound limit for seventh-graders, and he got the bad news last Sunday when the league held its official weigh-in.
Henderson said he asked Elijah whether he was in sixth or seventh grade, then told him "no need going" any further.
Cindy Earnheart, the boy's mother, said she was incensed and Elijah was humiliated.
"They would not even let him weigh in on the scales like every single boy out there," she said. "He might be the size of a grown man but he's 12 years old and he has feelings, too."
Elijah, who describes himself as a "gentle giant" and dreams of someday playing pro football, said the turn of events was unfair.
"I'm not sad, I'm mad that I don't get to play," Elijah said. "I've been practicing for three weeks."
Henderson said three other boys were turned away that day because of safety concerns for other players.
"We've got little boys that play against him that are 85, 95 and 100 pounds," Henderson said. "We have to look out for all the kids, not just him."
Cindy Earnheart said her son was feeling self-conscious about his size until he discovered peewee football. His barber happened to coach a team, the Mesquite Vikings, and suggested the boy join. Coach Marc Wright said a passage in the rulebook seemed to indicate that youths who weigh more than 135 pounds could play, but only on the offensive or defensive line.
At his physical last month, Elijah's doctor said he weighed 297 pounds and stood 6-feet-1 1/2 inches tall. His mother said they special-ordered his helmet, shoulder pads, pants and jersey because of his size, which she said is hereditary in her family.
Elijah took the practice field, looming over boys more than half his size, and was thrilled..
When he's playing football Elijah said, "I feel energetic. I feel happy."
He practiced with the Vikings for three weeks and even took part in a scrimmage. Then came the weigh-in.
Henderson said the exception in the rulebook was meant for sixth-graders who can weigh as much as 160 pounds. He suggested Elijah play for his middle school team, but the boy doesn't have much football experience and was hoping to feel his way in peewee first.
Cindy Earnheart said barring her son was discrimination.
"No one is telling boys who are too thin or too small that they can't play football," she said. "Why tell my kid he's too big?
She added: "Isn't bigger better in football? Football is a contact sport. If you don't want your son tackled, get him off the field."
 
^^^^ If they have a cardiac diner then they should have a monster-sized child football league. What a shame that the kid can't play a game. Guess he can still play pick up ball.
 
Zo? Salda?a gives you double the action of 'Salt' for half the budget in 'Colombiana' - YouTube

Uploaded by blacktreemedia on Aug 22, 2011
[BlackTree TV - Miami, FL] Jamaal Finkley goes 1-on-1 with the new crowned female champ of action movies, Zoe Saldana, to talk about her action packed new movie 'Colombiana'.

In the action film Colombiana, Zoe Saldana plays Cataleya, a young woman who has grown up to be an assassin after witnessing the murder of her parents as a child. Turning herself into a professional killer and working for her uncle, she remains focused on her ultimate goal: to hunt down and get revenge on the people responsible for her parents' deaths.

ZOE SALDANA (Cataleya) is best known for her performance as Neytiri in James Cameron's sci-fi thriller Avatar, the highest-grossing film of all time. Avatar won the Golden Globe for Best Director and Best Picture and received a total of nine Academy Award? nominations, including Best Picture.

In 2009, Saldana starred as Nyota Uhura in J.J. Abrams' blockbuster action-sci-fi film Star Trek, which took in more than $385 million at the worldwide box office and went on to receive four Oscar? nominations. She also recently starred in the Screen Gems film Death at a Funeral, co starring James Marsden and Martin Lawrence, and in Warner Bros.' The Losers alongside Chris Evans, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jason Patric.

Saldana first came to prominence with her memorable performance as Eva in Center Stage. Her many other film credits include Vantage Point, Guess Who, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, The Terminal, Dirty Deeds, Crossroads, and Drumline. Her television credits include appearances on NBC's "Law & Order."

In 2004, Saldana accepted the Young Hollywood One to Watch award, presented by Movieline Magazine, for her performance in The Terminal. She then went on to grace the cover of Elle in 2009 as one of the magazine's top Women in Hollywood, as well as the cover of Glamour as one of the magazine's Women of the Year. To finish off the year, Saldana was named as MaxMara's Face of the Future, Glamour UK's Film Actress of the Year for 2010, and also became the new face of Calvin Klein Underwear and Calvin Klein Envy.

New MPG rules: Gas savings, but car prices to rise - CBS News

New MPG rules: Gas savings, but car prices to rise

Tough new government fuel-efficiency standards mean consumers will pay more for their cars but realize big savings on gas. The new rules, issued yesterday by the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency require automakers' average fuel economy to nearly double to 54.5 MPG by the 2025 model year. In the complicated math of Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE), however, the actual MPG number shoppers will see on the window sticker will be considerably less.
The government estimates that the average car will cost about $2,000 more by 2025 because of expensive new technology, but that big gas savings will more than offset that price hike. Consumers Union, the organization that publishes Consumer Reports, praised the new mileage requirements. "These standards mean that consumers will be able to save thousands of dollars on gasoline over the life of their vehicle," said Shannon Baker-Branstetter, policy counsel for the organization.


The standards also will produce major reductions in oil use and greenhouse gases, said the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy. The advocacy group estimates that U.S. oil consumption in 2030 will be 3.1 million barrels a day lower because of the cumulative tightening in fuel economy rules between 2012 and 2025.

However, skeptics question whether higher purchase prices for cars will scare off car buyers. "CAFE risks requiring automakers to build vehicles and adopt technologies that consumers may not want to buy," said Jeremy Anwyl, vice chairman of auto auto research site Edmunds.com. Some Republican lawmakers criticize the rules as too costly for consumers and say they will repeal them if Republican nominee Mitt Romney becomes president.
The pricing problem already is evident with electric cars that cost around $40,000 before tax credits. For instance, the Nissan Leaf sold only about 3,150 cars in the first half of this year. The Chevrolet Volt (pictured above), which has a backup gasoline engine as well as battery power, did somewhat better.
But to meet the standards automakers will have to convince consumers to buy hybrid and electric vehicles. To that end, the new rules contain some specific encouragement:


  • Incentives for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as well as for fuel-cell vehicles, which are not yet commercially available
  • Incentives for hybrid and other mileage-boosting technologies on large pickups
  • Credits for other technologies that can achieve reductions in greenhouse gases.
In addition, automakers will continue to rely on improvements in conventional gasoline engines. Already in response to the first phase of the mileage standards, many manufacturers offer cars rated at 40 MPG in highway driving, a level of fuel efficiency that was unheard of even a few years ago.

Wouldn't have these problems if the Reagan era hadn't almost killed off alternative energy...And continued with post oil crisis conservation and efficiency measures.
