On an overcast, wet Sunday afternoon, the Dodge City Community College men’s and women’s soccer teams took on visiting Allen County, looking to finish the season strong despite shaky beginnings. For the women, Las Vegas freshman Lety Ibarra netted two goals as the Lady Conqs defeated the Lady Red Devils 2-1 to improve their record to 5-8. Ibarra continued her incredible season on Sunday by carrying the offense for DC3, proving that she belongs as one of the conference’s best players. “She is a game changer,” said head coach Tim Romanello. “She has a ton of speed, her skill is unbelievable. When she’s tenacious, she is absolutely on and in my opinion she is the second best, if not the best player in our conference.” The Lady Conqs are now 4-5 in the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference, which places them tied for seventh in the regional standings. On the men’s side, Dodge City dominated for 45 minutes and walked away with a gritty 2-0 victory. The Conquistadors scored both goals in the first half, including one from Mikhail Kooh, who missed a majority of the beginning of the season. Kooh has come on strong as of late, netting two against Northeastern Oklahoma A&M and one on Sunday afternoon. Even though the win only improves the men's record to 4-8-2, it wasn’t apparent in their determination and drive this weekend. “What you’re starting to see out there in these past two home games is our ability to play with a lot of intensity,” Romanello said. “Now we’re finding our comfort zone at home, we’re understanding how the turf plays, we know how to respond to that. Now we’re starting to see a group of guys that will hopefully believe in each other and find that intensity.” Romanello said while his team might be on the outside looking in at the regional standings, his team can still save face by playing together and “rowing forward.” “To borrow a quote from a friend back home, it’s all about rowing foward,” Romanello said. “How many guys can we fit in this big ship that we have right now with what we’re trying to accomplish and carry an oar for and say we’re going to row in the same direction?” One thing that bodes well for the Conqs is that the team is 3-3 inside the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium — three out of their final four contests will be played in Dodge. Up next for both the men and the women is a date with Neosho County on Wednesday.

I have been trying to find some good name brand brush sets, but i want 100% authentic, no fakes. Can anyone tell me if any of the 3 links below are authentic?

Hmmmm Bobbi Brown has never made such a large travel brush set. The biggest one I have seen is the 4 piece + Bag and that was a few years ago.
From that point of view I will say they are fakes.. BUT they could of sold these as pro sets which are not available to the public.. Then they would be real deal.. The seller does have 100% positive feedback so that is a good sign and they have sold 5 of them.. Which is also good.
Would I purchase them .. No because I prefer full size brushes these are travel size.
Hope this helps !!
I hope this helps !
Ps: for good authentic brushes be prepared to pay at least usd 100.00 this is the market price.. Try sigma brushes.. They are a great alternative !!

lov-3 answers:
These are extremely fake. First off, they spelled Bobbi Brown wrong. Secondly, the brush case and brush handles look incredibly cheap. Bobbi Brown sets usually come in luxurious leather and such. This price is also too low for anything authentic. I’m not saying all Bobbi Brown brushes on Ebay are fake, but most are. Be sure to check pictures and compare them to REAL photos to see if they have actual sets that look like the ones being sold on Ebay. Check reviews on youtube, makeupalley,com, and blogs to see if people have purchased Bobbi Brown sets that fit the description of one you’re interested in.
If you want truely authentic Bobbi Brown for a low price, I recommend Allcosmeticswholesale.com. They sell REAL Bobbi Brown, MAC, and other makeup that’s real but at a discounted price. I’ve purchased items here several times and everything has always been authentic. I even bought a few Dazzleglasses for only $12 (compared to original price $18 in MAC stores and counters) and was able to Back 2 Back them for free lipstick at the MAC store.
It’s really difficult buying on Ebay because sometimes you may end up with fake products. Be sure you know the product (and its packaging) well enough before buying anything. If you’re unsure, I suggest just not buying it. However, if you DO and end up receiving something that is fake, you can file a claim on PayPal and with Ebay. PayPal will refund your money. This is difficult to do and very tedious -which is why I suggest not doing it in the first place. Also, sometimes sellers will refund half or all your money since they don’t want negative feedback.
Nancy asks…
How can you spot fake Bobbi Brown goods?
I recently bought Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner on Ebay, off a seller with 100% positive feedback, however only about 70 customers left feedback. It was quite cheap, and I thought I’d chance it ( I usually go for power sellers) I paid for it on Saturday, and then on Monday received an email from Ebay stating that the rest of that sellers listings had been cancelled as they breached Ebays policies, but they could not tell me which policy. Anyway so the item arrived today, and I think the Bobbi Brown box looks a bit cheap, I would of imagined it would be a bit fancier. I’ve never bought Bobbi Brown before, I’m a Mac lover.
So I’m wondering if anyone who has the particular eyeliner could tell me if this is right:
A shiny cardboard box, with a picture of 2 eyeliner tubs on the front, it says Bobbi Brown Fluidline eyeliner Gel on the top. The 1st ingredient is Isidodcene, they’re listed on the back of the box. The free brush doesn’t say Bobbi Brown on it, and unlike other eyeliner brushes I have, seems more like an eyeshadow brush, it puts on a very thick line of liner.
Any help is much appreciated!!
The link provided doesn’t really supply an answer as it doesnt show a picture of the box, or give details of ingredients.

Hi there,
If you have bought the same thing as I did, you would find the following inconsistencies:
1. The box of the product says it is made in ITALY but the label on the actual product says it is made in CANADA.
2. The label on the product says the name of the product is LONG-WEAR CREAM SHADOW whereas on the box it says FLUIDLINE EYE LINER GEL.
3. The label on the product says the color is BURNISHED but when I checked on bobbi brown’s official website, ‘Burnished’ is a bronzed brown color instead of Black. You may check it here: http://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/templates/products/sp_shaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY2751&PRODUCT_ID=PROD10190
4. The actual product does not match the main picture on your eBay listing ie.actual product shape is rectangular instead of the supposed round and there is no ‘Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner’ writing on the side of it.
Here is ‘The Box’:

Mary asks…
my bobbi brown gel eyeliner is not as good as i expected.. 
I bought the bobbi brown gel eyeliner in a small tub (in black) on ebay since it wasnt as expensive. I keep putting it on my top eyelid and it just wont dry! It is too moist and for too long. I find that it smudges so much only after a few minutes and the gel eyeliner goes everywhere above my upper eyelid and I end up looking like a racoon 
A lot of people have been saying how great the product is and it dries so fast, its almost as if its waterproof and stays on for soo long (from the reviews i’ve seen on youtube, read on the internet etc etc) but its not doing any of these things for me :S i dont know why !!! grrr. anyone else experienced the same horrible thing as me with this bobbi brown gel? what gel eyeliner do you recommend that wont smudge, is long lasting etc?

lov-3 answers:
Hey hun, totally understand your problem for the longest time I just got fed up with gel liners !!
This question may be long but being a beauty product lover I want you to enjoy your makeup, since it should be fun and not frustrating !!
First off just going to start by saying you may have gotten ripped off with ebay because people will sell fake beauty products at a supposedly “good price” to make profit off of scamming people ..not saying this is the case but possible !
Now on to finding you a good product ….
Three gel liners that have been rather successful for me are
1- L’oreal Hip Liner ….pretty good stuff not too pricey …very nice and smooth but not too incredibly liquidy so it is easier to work with then some and it comes in 4 different shades I believe !!
2-MAC Fluid Line …..great stuff if you have a very accurate drawing hand and a good angled brush
it can be hard to work with since its extremely smooth but if you got a good hand it looks wicked !!
Also quite a good color range !
3-Smashbox Cream Liner in Caviar !! I love this stuff because its pretty unique its not gel like its almost like it goes on how a pencil liner would but applies like a gel liner would ! …amazingly easy to work with !! ….and comes in about 5 different colors but I like Caviar !
Really Hope This Helps Out !!!
Good Luck Finding Your Liner
PS……The Loreal and the MAC Fluid Line ……do not smudge at all and set like a liquid liner !!
However the Smashbox prob should be set with a shadow over top !

Michael asks…
How can I make a perfect latte?
I have an espresso machine and I can make lattes easily but I want to make those pretty designs some of the nicer coffee shops make. I almost was able to get the milk frothy enough to draw a faint picture, but it still looks nothing like the ones the baristas can make.
Any latte art tips?
lov-3 answers:
Latte art requires lots of practice. First you need to get the consistency of the milk just right (a microfoam) and then you need to perfect the skill of pouring it with accuracy.

Ken asks…
help me collaborate on a name for my art business and ideas for marketing?
hey everyone, i’ll start off with a short background. my names terra. im 19. i do a lot of painting and drawing. i work in a lot of mediums, such as acrylic, oil pastel, graphite, spray paint.. and i do mostly realist-type art, such as portraits, still lifes, landscapes, ect but my favorite subject is people. i love capturing the emotion and character in someones face.
now my current situation..
ive done some commissioned work, and started marketing myself a little.. (handing out business cards, creating a facebook page for my art, ect) but ive been talking to my sister who went to school for graphic design about expanding my little art “business”
she needs to build up her portfolio, so shes agreed to help me make business cards, post cards that promote my art, pamphlets that would have my artists statement, ect.
im really looking forward to working on these things with her and we have some good ideas already, but i thought i would open up the collaboration further to all of you.
first thing i would like some help with, is choosing a name. with my old business cards, i just had my name and information and featured one of my pictures on the card. my sister and i have some ideas for the design (although, feel free to chime in) but i was thinking, i should create a name/title for my business.
an idea i had was to play on the word “heart” and have a name like..
art beat(s)
art’s desire
art attack
art rate?
kingdom of arts
queen of arts
i was also thinking of fitting my name into my business name some how (ie: terra’s art, ect) but kind of gave up on that
another thing i could use advice on is ways to market my art. along with the ideas i posted above, i was thinking of making a post card or pamphlet i could hand out to coffee shops, dentist offices ect explaining that i could rent their wall space/ display my art in their place of business. i think that would be more professional then just going around promoting myself and taking up peoples time.
oh, and eventually, i would like to have a “showing” for my art. so i could use some help planning that. should i find a space to rent, or network with other artists to share costs and set up an event.. maybe at someones house or studio
also, since im just starting out, it would be very helpful to collaborate with other artists, so to anyone who has experience with this kind of thing, let me know if you want to exchange emails or something so we can perhaps keep in contact and turn to each other for advice?
anyway, i think that’s enough for everyone to think about, and thank you in advance for the help, i know this is a somewhat long question.
lov-3 answers:
Hey Terra. I love your drive. You are very motivated and you have some good ideas about how you plan on marketing your project. It looks like you want to do both online and local marketing for your art.
You are on the right track by talking to people and persistently doing so and as you build relationships with people, I believe you will become more successful. The Facebook thing can be a real gold mine too.
If you really want to market your art and get people to buy, I believe that you will get success by finding a real specific market that may be already interested in the specific kind of work that you do.
I will give you an example. You say you love to paint people and capture emotions and character. This is a niche market to focus on.
On your facebook page, you might want to name it a name that speaks specifically to that niche, or give it a slogan that speaks specifically to people that are wanting this done. Ex: Terra’s Painted Portraits That Captures their Emotions and Character. This might be a niche market for someone that wants to get a gift of a portrait for a family member or friend. The phrase tells your service and how it benefits your customer: Painted Portraits + Captures the Emotion and Character of the person they are getting the painting done for.
So for the name of your business, you could also do this by naming it a name that speaks to your specific market. For example: Jiffy Lube *this tells people they will get their oil changed fast, because the niche market is people that want it done fast. (If not in the name, it can be your slogan) But think of who you are wanting to reach when you think of your name.
I personally like your name “Art’s Desire” because it just sounds cool! Mine is Live My Art!
Most importantly to market your business, I believe you can do really killer at it is by continuing the Facebook page and build a bunch of relationships with people starting there. You see, when you’ve built relationships, and people already like you and what you’re all about, then it will be easy to sell your art because they will just be naturally interested. Just like if I were already wanting a cup of coffee, then I’m already interested in doing business with Starbucks.
This is what I am learning too because I’ve studied up a bit with modern marketing courses and programs, and I want to live my passion too. I’m learning this and teaching it too, as I learn it, while I work full time. I’ve even created a project for it.
But I would love to connect with you and share and exchange some ideas.
You can connect with me on Facebook if you want, and also send me your fan page so I can become a fan. I’ll put a link to my page below and I’m going to share more of this stuff, like I said, as I learn.

Jorge Posada, Victor Martinez Heap Praise Onto Jason Varitek – Boston Red Sox – NESN.com
The human body is capable of a lot of things, but catching more than 12,000 major league innings is generally not one of them. Unless you're Jason Varitek.
The Red Sox captain has spent his entire big league career with Boston, finding himself behind the dish in nearly 1,500 games and providing a steady, reliable presence. Though he's now 39 years old, he's still caught nearly half of the Red Sox' games this season, and he's still the same leader in the clubhouse as he was when he was an All-Star.
"He's the guy we always look to," Dustin Pedroia told USA Today in a lengthy feature on Varitek. "He's our leader. He's the guy we lean on. If he's calm, we're calm."
Teammates weren't the only ones to praise Varitek, as rival catcher Jorge Posada was quick to show respect for his counterpart in Boston.
"You look at his work ethic, what he does for that team, and they've followed," Posada, whose tenure with the Yankees coincided almost exactly with Varitek's Red Sox career. "All he cares about is winning. They don't win those two championships without him."
Former Red Sox catcher Victor Martinez also discussed how impressed he was with Varitek during his brief stint in Boston.
"I learned so much from him, and I will always respect him and remember what he did for me," Martinez told USA Today. "I basically came there and took his job, and he showed me how to handle the pitching staff, how to call pitches."
The story says that Varitek hopes to play one more season in Boston.
Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center/TGen Oncologists Publish Results of a New Drug… — SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ –
Results lead to Scottsdale oncologists heading a large Phase III study being conducted worldwide
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Patients at Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center Clinical Trials at Scottsdale Healthcare were the first in the nation to participate in a clinical trial to determine the safety, tolerability and effectiveness for usage of a new drug combination consisting of a standard drug called gemcitabine and a drug called nab-paclitaxel for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The results of this study, headed by renowned pancreatic cancer expert Dr. Daniel Von Hoff, were published online Oct. 3, 2011, in the prestigious Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®), an albumin-bound formulation of paclitaxel, is a drug manufactured by Abraxis BioScience a wholly-owned subsidiary of Celgene and is approved for the treatment of patients with advanced breast cancer. The use of this agent in patients with pancreatic cancer is investigational.
Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center Clinical Trials is a partnership between Scottsdale Healthcare and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) to rapidly bring new discoveries in the laboratory to patients.
“This is a great example of rapid bench to bedside development,” said Dr. Von Hoff, TGen’s Physician-In-Chief and Chief Scientific Officer for the Scottsdale Healthcare Research Institute.
Scientists at TGen and the International Genomics Consortium in collaboration with Abraxis scientists found that in pancreatic cancer, an albumin-binding protein called SPARC was present at high levels in cells within the pancreatic tumor microenvironment. It was hypothesized that the albumin formulation of nab-paclitaxel may be taken up by tumor cells with high SPARC expression. Based on these findings, Dr. Von Hoff — joined by colleagues from Johns Hopkins University Hospital, Baltimore; University of Alabama, Birmingham; and South Texas Oncology-Hematology, San Antonio — conducted a clinical trial in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
The results of this pilot study in which 67 patients were treated showed impressive results. Following completion of a safety and dose finding phase, 44 patients were treated in the phase II group. About half the patients showed reductions in tumor size measured by CT scans, and about 50 percent lived at least a year.
“Compared to the average survival of 6 months seen typically in this group of patients, this is very encouraging,” said Dr. Ramesh Ramanathan, medical director, Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center Clinical Trials. He added that the results of this study need to be confirmed. A large worldwide study of 842 patients comparing the standard treatment of gemcitabine to the new regimen of gemcitabine and nab paclitaxel is underway, led by Dr. Von Hoff and Dr. Ramanathan.
According to Dr. Ron Korn, the lead radiologist and a co-author on this paper, the study also provided important information on the role of PET scans. “If we can find early in the course of treatment if a patient will respond to treatment or not, then we can change course quickly, this study showed that patients who had a decrease in intensity of ‘hot spots’ on a PET scan after 6 weeks of treatment were more likely to have a good outcome.” Dr. Korn added that this approach is being further investigated in clinical trials with targeted agents in collaboration with the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center.
Individuals seeking information about eligibility to participate in clinical trials at the Virginia G. Piper Cancer Center at Scottsdale Healthcare may contact the cancer care coordinator at 480-323-1339; toll free at 1-877-273-3713 or via email at .

Charles asks…
Lil Wayne, Greatest rapper alive?
Now I know that a lot of rappers **** around and call themselves the king of NY, the king of the South, or the king of the west coast. But when you attempt to appoint yourself to the prodigious throne of best rapper alive, there are certain qualifications and expectations necessary to be there.
So I provide you with a systematic, straightforward and somewhat humorous explanation of why Lil Wayne is not the best rapper alive.
1) He excessively uses simplistic metaphors and similes – that irreparably debilitate his audience’s mental capacity to understand anything more complex (e.g. Lupe) – and prove his lyrics are merely punchlines that drunk white girls can recite at parties. How I would love to hear one of them say that they’re “tougher than Nigerian hair” (A Milli), and then try to explain that “it’s okay, its from a new Lil Wayne song.”
2) It seems he either never heard of or never clearly understood the saying, “Its the quality, not the quantity that counts.” In the 3 years since he’s put together a solid album (Tha Carter II), he’s amassed an incredible amount of mixtape material and guest spots. The quantity is undoubted, what remains to be contended is the quality. And as for the future: I’m not yet convinced that Tha Carter III will be better, or even as good as his previous album (considering Lollipop is the only good single so far – and thats gonna be played out real soon if people these DJs keep up the status quo).
3) Just a small consideration. Every candidate for greatest rapper or emcee has an incredibly impressionable debut album: Notorious B.I.G. – Ready to Die, Tupac – 2Pacalyse Now, Jay-Z – Reasonable Doubt, KRS-One – Return of the Boom Bap, & Nas – Illmatic. Lil Wayne’s debut album – Tha Block Is Hot. Now I don’t really need to explain how or why this album absolutely sucked, all you have to do is press play on that album and you’ll understand my argument here. But now you’ll say “well not every bodies first album is successful.” True… but the fact is that it took Wayne more than five years and two albums to finally come out with a decent one; that being Tha Carter (and thats not even remotely close to being considered a classic).
4) He has not significantly changed hip-hop enough. If anything he serves as beacon of regression in the genre, primarily through his dumbed down lyrics. Now there is nothing wrong with simplistic, no concept building lyrics, overflowing with meaningless similes that a 5 year old could understand…just don’t call yourself the greatest rapper alive when thats what your lyrics constitute. Undoubtedly he makes good songs, I don’t refute that; but what I can guarantee is that no one will ever be analyzing his music or his lyrics, there is little importance to them. Well actually I take that back, if it wasn’t for the explicitness of his lyrics, they might be used to teach 3rd graders about parts of speech.
5) The nail in the coffin. Jay-Z, Nas, Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Black Thought, Andre 3000, KRS-One, Rakim, Eminem, and numerous other rappers are still alive. Shit, Lauryn Hill ain’t even dead. And considering both Lil Wayne’s healthy addiction to syrup and his projected life span, that mothableep doesn’t stand half a chance.
Now I am not trying to knock Lil Wayne, this is simply an argument against his contention that he is the best rapper alive.
Lol at you people thinking I actually did type all this
Sorry I forgot to add this was written by someone else in a different blog, just thought I’d repaste it to give the whole thing recognition on yahoo answers but if you didn’t read then you really shouldn’t comment huh?

Wow and I mean WOW. Would it be wrong if I asked do u want to marry me ; ). But really I agree with what your saying and I believe with the abuse of metaphors (listen to the classic Luquid swordz by GZA to see metaphors used properly) it makes his music seem more deeper and less shallow. Lil wayne needs to go back to tha carter 2 style he had b4 because thats when he was at the top of his game (still he wasn’t the best MC during that time). For me I get my fix from listening to oldskool and underground and SOME and I mean some okay mainstream rappers.

Disney and Pixar to Re-Release Four Films in 3D
See what you started, “Lion King”?! After Disney made a buttload of money all over again by re-releasing “The Lion King” in 3D for two weeks, Disney and Pixar decided to strike while the iron is hot and have announced they’ll re-release a couple of Disney/Pixar classics including “Finding Nemo”, “Beauty and the Beast”, “The Little Mermaid” and “Monster’s Inc.” Here’s some more details about the films and when they’ll be released:
On the heels of the phenomenal success of The Lion King 3D – which will cross the $80 million mark at the domestic box office today – The Walt Disney Studios has announced limited theatrical engagements for four of its classic films for the first time in 3D. The following titles from Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios will be released in 2012 and 2013:
- Beauty and the Beast – January 13, 2012
- Disney•Pixar’s Finding Nemo – September 14, 2012
- Disney•Pixar’s Monsters, Inc. – January 18, 2013 (“Monsters University”, a prequel to the original film, arrives in theaters in Disney Digital 3D on June 21, 2013)
- The Little Mermaid – September 13, 2013
“Great stories and great characters are timeless, and at Disney we’re fortunate to have a treasure trove of both,” said Alan Bergman, President, The Walt Disney Studios. “We’re thrilled to give audiences of all ages the chance to experience these beloved tales in an exciting new way with 3D – and in the case of younger generations, for the first time on the big screen.”
Originally released in 1991, Beauty and the Beast is a classic “tale as old as time” that follows the adventures of Belle, a bright young woman imprisoned in the castle of a mysterious beast and his enchanted staff, who must learn the most important lesson of all – that true beauty comes from within. Beauty and the Beast was the first animated film ever nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Picture, earning an additional five Oscar® nominations and winning two. It has grossed $380.4 million worldwide.
First released in 2003, Disney•Pixar’s Finding Nemo takes audiences into a whole new world in this undersea adventure about family, courage and challenges. When Marlin, an overly cautious clownfish living in the Great Barrier Reef, helplessly watches his son get scooped up by a diver, he must put aside his fears of the ocean and leave the safety of his coral enclave to find Nemo. Buoyed by the companionship of Dory, a forgetful but relentlessly optimistic fish, Marlin finds himself the unlikely hero in a seemingly impossible land-and-sea rescue. Finding Nemo won an Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature and was nominated for three others. With a total of $867.6 million worldwide, it was the second highest-grossing film of 2003.
In 2001, Disney•Pixar released Monsters, Inc. Lovable Sulley and his wisecracking sidekick Mike Wazowski are the top scare team at Monsters, Inc., the scream-processing factory in Monstropolis. But when a little girl named Boo wanders into their world, it’s up to Sulley and Mike to keep her out of sight and get her back home. Monsters, Inc. shattered every DVD-era home entertainment sales record when 11 million DVD/VHS copies were sold during its first week of release. It won an Academy Award® for Best Song and has grossed $526.9 million worldwide.
Released in 1989, The Little Mermaid, stars Ariel, a fun-loving and mischievous mermaid, off on the adventure of a lifetime with her best friend, the adorable Flounder, and the reggae-singing Caribbean crab Sebastian. But it will take all of her courage and determination to make her dreams come true and save her father’s beloved kingdom from the sneaky sea witch Ursula. One of the most celebrated animated films of all time, The Little Mermaid was nominated for three Academy Awards®, winning two. It has grossed $228.9 million worldwide.

Laura asks…
Is it me or are the jobs in Cedar Rapids, Iowa are getting slim?
Hey guys I’ve lived in CR all my life and it seems like the city getting worst in terms of finding some kind of employment. I’ve jumped from job to job here. I’ve worked in restaurants, retail stores, a strip club as doorman and bartender. My last job was at Titled Kilt working as a busser which I really enjoyed because I made decent cash and I got along with everybody I worked with there. It sucked when shut down back in the end of Jan. I’ve been unemployed for almost over 4 months. I wonder if I’ll ever find something before my unemployment benefits runs out. I hate the city, but yet I don’t want to move out because there so many people I know here.

Lisa asks…
Do you think FEMA will do a better job in Cedar Rapids than New Orleans?
Cedar Rapids demographics is 91.86% white and Iowa is a swing state. New Orleans was 28.05% white and Democratic. What do you think will happen with the FEMA clean-up in Iowa?
lov-3 answers:
FEMA spent more time so far at the Boy scout camp tragedy then they have spent in Cedar Rapids.. Don’t rely on FEMA
Granted the response time in Katrina was ignorant, but the last dealing of the 85million dollars in goods that could have helped allot of families and single citizens that went unknown and unused for the event was astonishing and sick to say the least.

TideSports.com – Players to Watch: Florida
ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDEA.J. McCarronPosition: QuarterbackHeight: 6-4 Weight: 205 Class: Soph.Key Stat: McCarron has completed 66 percent of his passes for about 195 yards per game, but his most meaningful stat is that he hasn’t thrown an interception in the last three weeks. McCarron hasn’t thrown an interception in his last 82 passes.Buzz: McCarron is a first-year starter on the road in the SEC for the first time, but benefits from having played at Penn State a couple of weeks ago. He will be called upon to make some plays against Florida’s fearsome defense.Trent RichardsonPosition: Running backHeight: 5-11 Weight: 224 Class: JuniorKey Stat: Richardson has gone off for 393 rushing yards in the last two weeks, and added three catches for 85 yards against Arkansas. Buzz: Richardson can strike at any time, and can take over a game. Alabama’s offensive line seems to be finding some cohesion and traction as UA enters the conference portion of the season, and that means Richardson is going to have holes through which to run. Richardson also makes things easier for quarterback AJ McCarron by providing an easy dump-off option that can pay big dividends.Jerrell HarrisPosition: LinebackerHeight: 6-3 Weight: 242 Class: SeniorKey Stat: Harris has 42 career tackles, including seven this season.Buzz: A seasoned senior, Harris has found a starting spot at the Sam linebacker position in UA’s base defense. More importantly, he’s one of the players who will fill in if C.J. Mosley is unable to go or limited due to his elbow injury. Harris and his linebacker mates will have to be assignment-sound to keep the speedy Gators from breaking big plays, and will be challenged to do so without a healthy Mosley. Harris could play a big role in that regard.FLORIDA GATORSMatt ElamPosition: SafetyHeight: 5-10 Weight: 206 Class: Soph.Key Stat: Has a team-high two interceptions while also being tied for second on the team with 17 tackles.Buzz: As the most experienced player in Florida’s young secondary, Elam already has taken on a leadership role. He’s calling the coverages and mentoring true freshman cornerback Marcus Roberson and true freshman safety De’Ante Saunders. Elam is a hard hitter and as capable of stopping the run as he is slipping into coverage.Chris RaineyPosition: Running backHeight: 5-9 Weight: 175 Class: SeniorKey Stat: Leads the Gators in both rushing yards (411 yards) and receiving yards (214) this season. Rainey also has a team-high 11 catches.Buzz: Florida offensive coordinator Charlie Weis has found ways to get Rainey open out of the backfield to make plays in space. With 4.3-second, 40-dash speed, Rainey is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. He averages 6.5 yards per carry and 19.5 yards per catch. Alabama’s defense will be challenged by his speed and quickness.Jaye HowardPosition: Defensive tackleHeight: 6-3 Weight: 303 Class: SeniorKey Stat: Howard is fourth on the team in tackles with 12, with 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.Buzz: Howard scored UF’s first defensive touchdown of the season last week on a 2-yard fumble return. He’s a tough run-stuffer inside and experienced leader of a talented, young defensive line that includes Dominique Easley, Sharrif Floyd and Ronald Powell. Florida will need Howard to continue to shed blocks and provide a push up front to help contain Alabama running back Trent Richardson.
