INJURY UPDATE: Thompson To Be Assessed Ahead Of Bolton Trip
Town Head Coach Luke Williams has provided an injury update on four of his players ahead of tomorrow's Sky Bet League One encounter away at Bolton Wanderers (3pm Kick-Off).
Yaser Kasim is fit and available for the trip to the Macron Stadium having come through a cameo against Shrewsbury Town last weekend unscathed, although there are still doubts over Nathan Thompson.
"Yaser came through training no problem this week and with him getting on the pitch and getting some minutes into his legs last week then it would seem he is ready now," Williams said.
"It is difficult with Nathan because it is taking longer than we anticipated and it is quite frustrating for him, but there is still a training session today that he could potentially come through fine and then we've got a decision to make.
"With Nathan fit there are more options and we need to think what team will be strongest on the day."
However, both Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill and Ellis Iandolo are still on the road to recovery and will not be available for tomorrow's game against the Trotters, while James Brophy is suspended after picking up two bookings in his last outing.
"Brandon is still not able to come through training. He's working very hard physically but he can't do the full session and the contact at the moment," Williams added.
"James Brophy is obviously ruled out.
"Ellis is not at training at the moment and it is a tough time for any player, but it is difficult for the younger boys because the first few injuries are hard to get their head around.
"They feel fine but there is something there stopping them and Ellis just needs to continue his rehabilitation and get through that."

Howard Stern snapped a series of nude photos of his gorgeous wife, Beth Ostrosky Stern, while she was dressing for Friday's Hamptons magazine party. Beth told us by phone from Southampton's Bathing Club at Capri that it was the first time her shock-jock husband had snapped nude photos of her. "It was really beautiful," she said. "I trust that he won't be showing them." Stern tweeted semi-nude photos of the former bikini model in the bathtub in April. Beth, in a bathing suit, is featured on the cover of Hamptons in a spread photographed by Stern.
Us, not you


Stocks Post Best January in 30 Years.
An average of 718,000 barrels of crude traversed America's railways as of October, an 88% increase from a year earlier.
Among stock market 'watchers' there has been a lively debate. Did the 4,000 point drop in Q4 of 2018 begin a new bear market, or was this just a much needed correction? To be fair to the bears (down market) the NYSE advance decline line actually reversed on both a daily and weekly basis. And the DJIA has yet to surmount its previous high. The Transports have not done that either so we don't have a genuine Dow Theory buy signal. But those with the courage to hang long since December 24 600 point drop have done well.
There has been plenty of negative action to give rise to bearish action. Facebook lost half its entire market value in six months falling from 220 to 125. On better than expected earnings, it soared back to 166. Chalk another on up for social mood turning on the proverbial dime.
And it has been tough sledding for General Electric. GE was the only stock in the original Charles Dow 1896 list still in the index. But honestly the social mood red flags abounded amid CEO Jack Welch exit around year 2000. He divorced his wife of decades for a 20-year younger model. He authored a series of books, one of the last titled Jack: Straight from the Gut. (how's that for modesty and hubris?). And then there was his $400 M severance package including a swanky NYC condo. The stock price fell from $30 to about $7.50 last week. It has now recovered to $10.16. Its external auditor KPMG of some 110 years looks to get the boot amid questions about its procedures.
Most of the major stock indexes are now testing downtrend lines from the October 2018 top. We will need another couple of weeks to see the outcome. The 400+ point increase Wednesday was impressive. Whether that was a start for a 2019 bull are a climax blow-off we still do not know.
Meanwhile oil prices have advanced from $42 to $53.69 this morning. Oil and stock prices remain in a sort of DMZ as we described last week. Energy ETF XLE like the stock indexes is testing its down trend line. Even Energy Service XES rose from the dead at $8 rallying to $10.95. Again it is at resistance.
Like any great Saturday morning movie serial, return next week to see if the bulls or bears prevail.

Economic disaster: Getting closer and closer
Published 14 years ago - Ed Henry - 14y ago 46
It was just a few weeks ago, on October 19th, that Peter Costello, the Australian Treasurer pleaded with Asian countries to "telegraph" their intentions to come off the dollar so other nations would have a chance for an "orderly withdrawal."
Now, just a few days after Bush was handed one of the greatest defeats of his presidency, Reuters reports that "China will diversify its $1 trillion foreign exchange reserves, the largest in the world, across different currencies and investment instruments, including in emerging markets."
There goes the commonly held belief that "China needs us" because we are their greatest customers. The belief that China must continue to loan us money so we can buy their goods. You can now chalk that up with other pagan fantasies of American arrogance and ignorance. Do we hear the message? Do we understand it?
Although the Census Bureau tells us we just topped the 300 million population mark, this is small potatoes in a world where "emerging markets" like India, with a population about 900 million larger than ours, can easily make up for any losses within our shores. And that's not including China's own population almost five times our size where the average savings rate is better than fifty percent compared to our own, in the hole for the first time since the Great Depression, savings rate which recently went below zero.
In other words, the average American family is no more ready to face a long term economic disaster than people in the thirties who lost their jobs and homes, ended up in shelters, bread and soup kitchen lines, or found minimum subsistence working for the CCC and the WPA. The very reason our supplemental retirement program, Social Security, was designed in the first place to insure that no one who worked a lifetime in America would end up in the very real "poor house," even illigal immigrants allowed to stay here long enough to qualify.
The same Reuters report tried to soften this news by saying that the Chinese Central Banker's remarks "sent the dollar tumbling for a second day and fuelled a growing debate about how China should best use its fast-growing reserves, which are about 70 percent in U.S. debt securities." The latter is an absolute falsehood worthy of inclusion in last week's article "Numbers only confuse them."
At last report from the U.S. Treasury in August, 2006, China held $339 billion in Treasury securities which is only about 34 percent of one trillion, half of the seventy claimed by Reuters. The difference is held in pure cash reaped by the American consumer's desperate search and need for lower prices from places like WalMart and its closest competitors where almost everything they sell comes from China or poor third world nations where labor is cheap – including groceries produced in America by illegal migrant workers.
The richest most powerful nation in the world has fully endorsed a marketing strategy that was once laughable and known simply as "price merchandising is the foothold of the incompetent." Peter Drucker must be throwing a fit. People no longer pay more for or even seem capable of recognizing "quality" and short term obsolescence rules.
What's more, the country that lost the Second World War but won the economy by producing "better" products now holds the most in government securities. Japan holds another trillion in American dollars and most of that, $644.2 billion, is held in treasury securities that represent money we've borrowed from Japan and which they view as a form of welfare. Almost twice as much as what China holds.
If anybody needs our consumers it's Japan, but they are making the same noises as China when it comes to "diversifying" their investments and coming off the dollar. Maybe we are dealing with the old folklore that "blood is thicker than water." They're all Asians who have had their disputes, been all out enemies at times, but may join together against the greater enemy – against the nation with 734 military bases spread across the globe and becoming known as the greatest threat to peace the world has ever seen.
On top of that, we should not forget that Japan occupied Korea for more than thirty years before losing it in the Second World War. Then we went in from the South while China came down from the North and we clashed at the thirty-eighth parallel. The Pentagon itself is on the same parallel and sent our Army Reserve over there in summer uniforms when all our military strategists had to do was to look out their windows in order to see that it was winter.
U.S. Treasury securities are payable on demand and any time the holder decides to forego annual interest which, in terms of our total debt to investors, today amounts to an expense of more than a billion a day. Either China or Japan, acting individually, could bankrupt us overnight. Only American taxpayers are responsible for paying this money back. The not-for-profit American system of government has no other significant revenue except what it gets from taxes.
The politicians and bureaucrats in Washington would like everyone to believe that the national debt is a deep and complex thing, not a subject for amateurs. But the only thing that's complicated about it is its size.
The first, most basic, thing to understand is that the national debt is divided into two distinctly separate parts – what the government deceptively calls "Public Debt" and what they've labeled as "Intragovernmental Holdings" (a Greenspan term for what was once called "Government Debt"). The first currently stands at $4.88 trillion and the second at $3.70 trillion for a total of $8.58 trillion as of the end of October 2006 and after another monthly rise of $77.3 billion.
Taken directly from the U.S. Treasury's Bureau of Public Debt to the penny web site
One side (to the left) is completely honest and forthright. It's where Japan, China, other countries, big pension houses, 401(k)s, and individual investors have their holdings. In fact, it should be more properly called "Loans" or "Investments" or "Investor Holdings."
The other side (to the right) is a complete fraud, a scam, and totally corrupt. It's composed of nothing but so-called "trust funds" that hold nothing but "special" nonmarketable, non-negotiable bonds. At last count, there were 134 of these accounts and none of them ever hold any real cash, not even for an instant. Cash that is thrown towards the activities represented by these accounts is taken by the government that pretends to have merely "borrowed" or "invested" it (it makes no difference) and is immediately spent on other things.
For instance, if a philanthropist like Carnegie donates millions for a specific purpose such as libraries, his cash stays in the Treasury's general fund until it is spent elsewhere. The government, while pretending that they merely "borrowed" the money, adds the donation to their larder and deposits "special" nonmarketable nonnegotiable bonds in a so-called trust fund or account in Carnegie's name. If a library is then needed in Chemung, the account will be drawn down by taking current taxpayer money out of the general fund. What's more, the government will increase the account by simply placing more bonds into it and usually (but not always) calling that deposit "annual interest." This interest doesn't cost them anything except printing or the cost of an electronic entry.
There's no need to devalue cash in circulation by printing more money. Not when these debt bonds can be used to cover all sorts of things, including their own lavish health and retirement plans. In a sad sort of way, we're lucky the national debt isn't much greater than it is.
What's more, 97 percent of the debt in this second IH category is held by 32 entitlements with Social Security leading the pack and where our supplemental retirement system holds roughly $2 trillion in debt that we got by giving the government extra money and where they add self perpetuating interest by simply dumping more bogus bonds in the account every year.
Through exorbitant payroll tax overcharges, we handed them surplus money which they spent and then gave us debt in return, pretending that the same money can be both spent and saved. Did you ever hear of anything so outlandish?
In the case of Social Security, it's double taxation plain and simple. That's just one example of many entitlements involved in the rip-off. And don't forget that Bush just told us "something must be done with entitlements" meaning the government needs to rip you off even more.
In April of 2005, seventy six of us signed an open letter to President Bush and members of Congress proposing that since they were so good at pretending things, they could pretend to be fiscally responsible by simply erasing these illegal nonmarketable bonds no one asked for and reducing the national debt by more than forty percent. The general public and most investors who had not noticed the scam they've been pulling would probably attribute the debt reduction to sound financial practices.
Do you think the democrats will do any different? I don't. They've been going along with the scam for many years without much of a peep.
The democrat's claim to financial fame is that in fiscal 2000 they balanced the budget and produced a $237 billion surplus. But they will never tell you where that surplus came from, and none of our loyal newshounds or think tanks have the courage to ask.
In fiscal 2000, the last year Clinton and Gore were in office, $87 billion of the surplus came from personal and corporate income tax overcharges. This was a large part of the tax reduction Bush initiated during his first year and was probably the only good thing he's done in life besides marry Laura. Most democrats hate the fact that he cut these taxes and have been trying to get them back ever since.
The most important thing that's never mentioned is that the vast majority of the 2000 surplus came from entitlement overcharges of $149.8 billion with Social Security leading the charge at $94.5 billion in its part of excessive payroll taxes.
It was also one of the few times the government counted the money "borrowed" from entitlements as a positive thing. Usually, when running deficits they somehow forget to include the surplus money "borrowed" from entitlements, especially Social Security surpluses that are still coming in by the truckload. It's their golden goose and that's why they want you to believe that it's the booga-booga third rail of politics. And what they did in 2000 looked to me like a money laundering trick they learned from Marc Rich. Remember him and his music composing wife?
Did Bush even think about cutting payroll taxes?
While complaining about Bush's income tax cuts, Charles Rangel (D-NY) and the once famous Dick Gephardt (D-MO) were bellowing that "if you want tax cuts, we'll cut payroll taxes" but that's as far as their threat went. No formal move to cut these taxes for working class Americans has ever been proposed, much less the correction of the federal government's own lavish health and retirement benefits flourishing under the same scam.
Today, and after their victory, the democrats are telling us that they'll "do things to make life better for the people." Do you think they will have the guts to take on the scam they've been helping to run? Do you think they'll stop stealing Social Security's money? We'll see. And what would they do with all that money if they did stop stealing and spending it?
We've been through that one before when the talk in pirate's cove was about "lock boxes" which is exactly what "trust funds" are supposed to be. Because they couldn't decide what to do with the money, they gave up and kept stealing it.
Today, they're desperate for more money and the Pentagon wants another $160 billion over their half trillion 2007 budget to spend in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Onward Iraq
Proving that the cartoon character Pogo was right when he said "we have met the enemy and he is us" the financial magazine Forbes.com on Thursday, November 9, 2006, released an article titled "A Staggering New Bill for Iraq" that covered a new appropriation for an additional $160 billion in supplemental appropriations to carry on the conflicts in Iraq andAfghanistan.
And this is after the $92 billion Congress has already authorized in additional 2007 funding for the same purpose.
What's more, Nancy Pelosi seems to have gone to bed and breakfast with the enemy and has just promised that the democrats will support everything for our troops in those countries even though the main reason her party was just put in control of Congress was because of public disgust with that very situation.
The only question I have is why the Bush administration hasn't set up a War Chest trust fund so the war mongers could simply draw whatever money they want from taxes and money borrowed sitting in the Treasury's general fund.
Maybe they can't decide whether to call it a "War Chest" an "Invasion Chest" or a "Preemptive Invasion Peace & Protection" trust fund accompanied by a "Throttle Dissidents Torture" fund or the "Texas Cowboy's Fast Draw" account.
Whatever the reason, it doesn't look like it's going to be as easy to borrow from other nations as it has been in the past. Even if they are just flexing their muscle a bit, you can bank on interest rates rising in an attempt to entice them.
Maybe Mexico will come to our rescue if we don't build that fence across half of the 1,400 mile border. If they just sent back the money illegal aliens are pouring into their country, maybe we would be able to cover as much as five percent of what we've borrowed from China.
Just below the radar, by the light at the end of the tunnel, pushing the envelope towards a bridge into the twenty-first century, where the hallways smell differently, lies a constant assessment or bi-partisan outreach for common ground, changing the tone of bell-weather programs, hands across the aisle and global challenges to contain an evil devil monster from the valley of doom named bingo gas station motel cheeseburger with a side of aircraft noise and you'll be Gary, Indiana, who wants to destroy our way of life. But hey, how about those Chicago Bears?

Google is widely considered, by both the general public and business experts, to be one of the most innovative companies in the world. So how does Google promote a culture of innovation and ensure that innovative ideas are properly implemented, creating profitable new products that position the company for long-term success? Google's "recipe" for driving innovation is no carefully guarded secret sauce. Rather, Google has openly shared this information with the public. In 2013, Google codified a new set of "Nine Principles of Innovation," which updated the version first unveiled by former Google executive Marissa Mayer in 2008.
While your organization likely does not have the Google-sized resources (in terms of both financial capital and human capital) to be able to do everything suggested by the Nine Principles of Innovation, these principles are nevertheless highly instructive and useful as guiding principles that can help foster innovation in business. The innovation book Robert's Rules of Innovation II: The Art of Implementation discusses each of Google's Nine Principles of Innovation and suggests that we all think about them, in the context of our own companies. Implementing relevant parts of Google's Nine Principles of Innovation at your company is not "cheating"; but rather, it's smart and efficient to use the Principles as a framework for fostering new product development and innovation in business—after all, innovation doesn't have to be about reinventing the wheel.
This instant blog will cover the first four principles from Google's Nine Principles of Innovation. A second blog to be published on this site, entitled "Learn from the Best: Google's Nine Principles of Innovation (Part 2 of 2)", will cover the remaining five principles from Google's Nine Principles of Innovation.
As discussed in a previously published blog on this site, a popular innovation myth is that innovation only happens within a company's engineering and R&D departments. To the contrary, it is often the employees on the front lines who come up with the most innovative ideas. Professional expertise alone doesn't lead to innovation and new product development; life experiences are just as valuable, if not more valuable to the innovation process. For example, AT&T's exceptionally popular Drive Mode app (a mobile app that can be set-up to automatically send a customizable reply to incoming messages when the vehicle starts moving at 25 mph, in order to reduce a driver's temptation to look away from the road at his or her incoming text messages) was the innovative brainchild of an AT&T call center employee who had been personally affected by the dangers of texting-while-driving.
Think 10x, not 10 percent. This Google principle is about striving to improve something by a tenfold difference rather than just improving it by 10 percent. In other words, making a revolutionary change rather than an evolutionary change. This innovation driver comes from Google cofounder Larry Page's preference for radical innovation over incremental innovation. At Google, this 10x principle is what drove revolutionary projects such as Project Loon, where Google used high-altitude balloons to bring Wi-Fi connections to remote areas.Keep in mind that whereas this lofty think 10x principle may be appropriate for mega-companies such as Google, it's not necessarily appropriate for all companies. Revolutionary innovation is a great thing to strive for, but it's not the only successful type of innovation. As discussed in a previously published blog on this site, innovation doesn't always have to be about reinventing the wheel, it can also be about simply improving the wheel. Incremental innovation—small-scale improvements that make a product better or more marketable—can drive successful, profitable innovation at your company. Also, incremental innovation—as opposed to revolutionary innovation and massive step-change innovation—makes the idea of innovation considerably less daunting and more accessible to a wider range of people.Some examples of incremental innovation include Gillette's razors, which began with just a single razor blade. As time passed, Gillette then incrementally innovated its razors by adding additional blades and different features that better met customer needs and improved the product. Another example of incremental innovation is Coca-Cola's brand-line extensions such as Coke Zero and more recently, Coca-Cola Life.Most companies stick with focusing on incremental innovation because it requires less risk and less investment. Especially when there is a proven track record of a company's new product development process working in the market, incremental innovation is the safe choice. However, keep in mind that many companies are potentially missing out on massive rewards because they refuse to innovate beyond incremental innovation.
Bet on technical insights. Every organization has its unique insights—and betting on these unique insights can lead to major innovation. It was Google—not the automotive industry—that came up with the idea of the self-driving car. Google was able to make this major innovation because they already had the unique insights and building blocks in place to engineer a self-driving car. Google was able to tie its various information assets (data gleaned from its existing Google Maps, Google Earth, and Street View cars programs) to create the all new product entity of the self-driving car.At your business, think about whether your business has any unique insights or information assets that can be used and combined to innovate something new.
Check back on this blog soon for the second part of this blog series, which will cover Principles 5–9 from Google's Nine Principles of Innovation.
To learn more about how to achieve profitable growth through new product development and innovation and how to implement innovation at your company, check out the innovation books Robert's Rules of Innovation: A 10-Step Program for Corporate Survival and Robert's Rules of Innovation II: The Art of Implementation.
Finally it will be frugal innovation and not any innovation that will win.
No doubt, resource rich companies can pursue innovation at any cost but, the American approach to innovation will work only in the initial phase of new technologies.
Sooner or later Google and the like including Apple will be forced to make way for more cost conscious innovators particularly since profit margins in technology products would shrink substantially during the technology diffusion phase.


As a brand Goya guitars have been produced and distributed by a number of different companies over the years. The in early 70s, going was distributed in the US by a company called Dude Inc which took over a volume of remaining Goya stock. The G-30 is one model from this era and was built with European Maple back and sides.


If, when you hear the word 'entourage', you conjure in your mind images of a cadre of morally-bereft, wannabe, showbiz types from Queens then you're just like me. But that's not the kind of entourage we're talking about today. No, the kind we're talking about is specifically related to plant medicine. More specifically 'whole plant medicine'.
What is 'Whole Plant Medicine'?
Though most of our medicines these days comes from plants, it's rare that we ingest them in their natural form. Mainstream medicine is inundated with pills, serums, balms, and a whole host of other things that though derived naturally have come a long way since that point. But there are those that believe backed by a growing base of evidence that suggests these medicines would have a stronger influence upon the body if they were ingested in their plant form.
This is the basis for what's now popularly known as 'whole plant medicine'.
The Entourage Effect is basically the idea that when the components of a cannabis plant interact together they provide a greater effect than any one of those components would by themselves. This is most effective when they're in their natural state. Pretty straightforward, yeah?
In plants, including marijuana plants, there are hundreds of natural components. When we bring multiple compounds together we can end up multiplying the effect of these compounds. This is what's called a 'synergistic effect.' By working together they can amplify each components effect by a far greater degree.
What's great about this phenomenon is that it can manifest itself in a myriad of ways. As you would expect the different compounds when mixed together produce various effects on the body. There's a fascinating study done by Ethan Russo, a neurologist invested in studying the effects cannabis compounds have upon the body. In this study, he published details how these same compounds, like terpenes, work together to influence our body.
Here are a few examples of the kinds of things terpenes could potentially help you experience according to the study. One of the terpenes, pinene, ostensibly improves cognition and memory affected by THC. Working together pinene, myrcene, and caryophyllene may contribute towards relief from anxiety. THC working with CBN (another cannabinoid) brings about sedated feelings of relaxation.
These are just a few of the examples but you get the idea. The synergies that come about from whole plant therapies are only just being understood. Really, we've only scratched the surface of what's possible. In a few years time, we could have infinitely more knowledge to hand and lives may be changed.


A senior member of an Indonesian anti-terror squad confirmed that two suspects were killed during a raid yesterday afternoon on a villa in the central Java town of Batu.
The local police chief was quoted later as saying seven suspects were killed during the gun battle.
The anti-terror squad member told The Age that one of the dead was thought to be Azahari. "One has the physical characteristics of Azahari. Now we are identifying him," he said.
Azahari, along with another Jemaah Islamiah leader, Noordin Top, masterminded the 2002 Bali bombing that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians.
The pair were also behind last year's bombing of Australia embassy in Jakarta and are believed to have planned this year's October 1 Bali suicide bombings on three cafes in Kuta and Jimbaran, which killed 20 people, including four Australians.
The pair have been the most wanted terrorist suspects in South-East Asia and have avoided an Indonesian manhunt for three years.
The search for the pair, believed to have been hiding separately, was intensified after last month's deadly attacks on the Bali cafes.
There were conflicting reports last night about how Azahari died. According to one report, the terror mastermind may have blown himself up, along with several accomplices, when police approached the villa where he was hiding.
Another report suggested he was killed by police gunfire.
One police officer is believed to have been wounded in the clash. An official police spokesman would not comment.
Police are believed to have had the villa in Batu under surveillance for several days. Crack Detachment 88 anti-terror police reportedly raided the villa after two explosions were heard.
Neighbours reported an extensive exchange of gunfire between police and those inside. Up to 10 people are believed to have been inside the villa.
The Batu villa, near the town of Malang, was sealed off by police last night. One man who lives nearby said those inside had exchanged shots with police for about 10 minutes.
Local residents described the situation as "tense" as police surrounded the housing complex.
Noordin Top and Azahari Husin have been on the run since masterminding the 2002 Bali bombings.
Investigators are convinced they were behind the latest bombings and Bali and have been conductive intensive sweeps across Java to arrest them.
Until now police have been unable to identify any of last month's three suicide bombers or make any significant breakthroughs in the investigation.
Azahari, who was born in Malaysia, spent several years in Australia in his youth. He arrived at 17 in 1975, travelling through Sydney to Adelaide, where he completed school at Norwood High School, then went on to Adelaide University to study mechanical engineering.
One former student recalled him as serious and studious, but others remember a gregarious man more interested in having a good time than studying.
Azahari also studied at the University of Technology in Malaysia, majoring in valuation, and went on to obtain a PhD in statistics at Reading University in Britain.

Media Firestorm Over N-Word said by Third String Wide Receiver Riley Cooper Goes Viral
Urban Radio Nation african american issues, bomani jones, jason whitlock, media, nfl, Riley Cooper, social media, Stephen A. Smith
Should he be suspended, cut from the team, or left alone?
Media personalities Stephen A. Smith of ESPN's First Take, Bomani Jones of the ESPN program Highly Questionable, FOX Sports columnist Jason Whitlock, and others chime in on the word n*igger used by Philadelphia wide receiver Riley Cooper.
It was used towards an African American security guard at a Kenny Chesney country music concert at the home stadium of the Eagles. Cooper was reportedly drinking and upset that he couldn't get backstage access.
I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself. I want to apologize. I have been offensive. I have apologized to my coach, Jeffrey Lurie, and
— Riley Cooper (@RileyCooper_14) July 31, 2013
Howie roseman and to my teammates. I owe an apology to the fans and to this community. I am so ashamed, but there are no excuses. What I did
Was wrong and I will accept the consequences.— Riley Cooper (@RileyCooper_14) July 31, 2013
Riley's my friend Our relationship is mutual respect. He looked me in the eyes and apologized. I believe in forgiveness and I believe in him
— Mike Vick (@MikeVick) August 1, 2013
Stephen A. Smith makes excellent points in his commentary
Bomani Jones not buying it
Jason Whitlock says Cooper should be forgiven "Let's all learn from Cooper's gaffe"
We, the media, will blow this Riley Cooper teachable moment. It's what we do when it comes to race. We look for good guys and bad guys, villains and heroes. We choose the politically correct path rather than the road to understanding.
Riley Cooper, a receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, did and said something very, very stupid and disgusting. Drunk and partying in a sea of whiteness, Cooper apparently lashed out at a black security guard and threatened to "fight every n****r here".
A cellphone camera captured Cooper's ignorance. It took a month, but the blogosphere unearthed the video and broadcast it to the world. The Eagles reacted responsibly, fining Cooper and forcing him to confront his mistake publicly with the media and privately with his teammates. Read more of this article...
John Smallwood Philadelphia Daily News - "Don't Rush to judge Eagles WR Riley Cooper"
I DON'T KNOW Eagles receiver Riley Cooper, so I certainly don't know him well enough to judge whether his apology for using a racial slur was from his heart or from his head. What I have learned, however, is that it is usually best to let emotion and shock value wear down a bit before drawing any true opinion on what an incident may or may not truly mean.
...Personally, as a member of the community to whom Cooper said he wanted to apologize, that's enough for me. I've seen enough of these situations to realize that it is rarely as simple as a person being racist by virtue of having uttered a racial slur - particularly when it comes while a person is in a highly agitated state, as the video clearly shows Cooper was. Read more of this article..
Dave Warren - Philadelphia talk radio personality
Mr. Smallwood,
I'm actually flabbergasted by your comment above but I'm going to bypass it because like you to Riley Cooper – I don't know you… and I certainly don't know you well enough to judge you by your in response to Cooper's viral n-word episode.
I do wonder however if you took time to consider why would Riley want to jump the fence and fight "every ni**er" there if he only had an confrontation with one (1) African-American Security Guard?
I mean if you were at the concert and he jumped the fence why would he fight you? Especially if you had nothing to do with his altercation again with that one (1) African-American Security Guard. It puzzles me why would he want to fight you and "every ni**er" with in punching distance because of that one (1) African-American Security Guard? Kinda puts me in the mind of the movie Rosewood. You remember that film by John Singleton where racist lynch mob attacked an entire African American community based on the assumption of wrong-doing by one (1) African-American resident in the community.
You know that movie right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewood_film
So I have just been wondering why he was mad and want to fight "every ni**er" there? I mean did every ni**er there accost Riley Cooper? Was "every ni**er" there on the other side of the fence picking on Riley Cooper? Did every ni**er there complain about Rile Cooper's play last year? Did "every ni**er" there challenge Riley Cooper to a fight? Why on Earth would Riley Cooper want to jump the fence and fight "every ni**er" there if his problem was with just one (1) African-American Security Guard???
I'm going to gather that Riley was asked to adjust a behavior or to move from a specific area by this one (1) African-American Security Guard and because of "white-entitlement" and "white-privilege" and yes I'm going to say it "white-supremacy" mindset… Riley Cooper did not appreciate the instructions by this one (1) African-American Security Guard. Again this is just my assumption. I was not that but if I had to guess why Riley Cooper would want to jump the fence and fight "every ni**er" there I'm assuming this as the reason.
So this one (1) African-American Security Guard instructed Riley to adjust a behavior or to move from an area that was off-limits or blocking ingress and because of "white-entitlement" and "white-privilege" and a "white-supremacy" Riley Cooper was none-to-pleased at the instructions of this one (1) African-American Security Guard.
Moreover I'd like to suggest that in addition to a hearty helping truth juice (liquor) and some "good ole boy" "ribbing" by his friends, including Eagles Center Jason Kelce that probably included comments like "the ni**er told you what for" or "that ni**er was about to kick your butt" or any number of altercation driving racist filled rant and comments lead to Riley Cooper's "I will ... fight every n- here, bro." remark.
My point – Riley Cooper like most white people are innately racist -- they do a pretty good job of masking those feelings but at any moment it will just come out. When their white-entitlement" and "white-privilege and "white-supremacy" mindset is challenged...
I do not agree with you that his apology was enough or with Rich Hoffmann's commentary that the fine was punishment enough. His apology was just empty words in my opinion and the NFL and Eagles show a lack of respect to African-Americans by letting him go unscathed!
BUT… we in the African-American community are known for our forgiveness and I'll move on… especially if my assumptions are correct - hell I even understand! I mean we've all said stupid shyt when drunk and angry right? … Riley Cooper just showed who he is and how he reacts in certain situations – you ni**ers better just stay clear of him when he gets mad or let the lynching party begin… like I asked earlier, remember Rosewood?
{...was that last line over the top? my bad… I apologize – that's not who I am…}
John Smallwood response to the above commentary
Smallwood, John wrote:
you can be whoever you want to be. if you want to say you are over the top, who am I to argue with you. I don't know anything about you.
as far as riley cooper, you've made a long list of assumptions based on a 10-second video clip. there is no context to what may have happened before that led up to the confrontation. I don't know because I wasn't there, but it is possible that the security guard said things to cooper that helped heighten the situation.
maybe he said, "i'll kick your cracker ass if you don't do what I say," I don't know. I don't know how many security guards he was arguing with. I find it hard to believe that cooper just walked up and said "I kick every n*ggers' ass." maybe he did. I wasn't there.
I don't know riley cooper but I have had several interactions with him over the past three years with the eagles. he's always been cordial and polite to me. I also know that athletes only let you see the side of them they want you to see.
given the lack of context of the video, I choose to give cooper the benefit of the doubt when he says he is not a racist and was not raised that way. I know I am not racist, but I also know that I have been in situations where if someone took a 10 second video clip with no context, I could be viewed as being racist.
Dave Warren responds:
Yea soooo that's kinda why I asked the question... in his comments to reporters and in your article he's quoted as saying and altercation with "A" guard… again that's why I asked.
Yea I took some liberties on the assumptions because it was only a 10 second video but that was to frame my question and make my point... it was all hypothetical.
Unlike you I haven't met or even spoken with Riley Cooper so I don't know him even remotely but I have been in the presence of white folk in similar situations and experienced being the victim (yes victim) of that hate-filled racist commentary that we saw in that clip first hand.
I vividly recall walking down second and South St. with a couple of buddies and out of no-where this white dude yells I HATE N*GGERS! Naturally I proceeded to engage in a discussion with him to find out why... and as my buddies were pulling me back one of his friends says in the middle of his apology "Oh this isn't who he is..." "He's not really like that..." Well if he's not why would crazy shyt like that come out his mouth? The same question I'm asking about Riley.
I'm not going to argue with you bro and I'm not going to assume to know where you are coming from because I don't - I simply disagree with you and I do not think he should be given the benefit of the doubt. -- When people show you who they are - that's exactly who they be!

On February 8, 2019, the Tahoe National Forest released the Draft Over-Snow Vehicle Use Designation Record of Decision (Draft Decision) and Final Environmental Impact Statement (Final EIS). The Draft Decision and Final EIS were originally scheduled to be released on January 4, 2019, but were delayed due to the recent lapse in government funding.
Cross-country, over-snow vehicle* travel on 410,703 acres of Tahoe National Forest managed lands when there is adequate snow depth to avoid damage to natural and cultural resources. Over-snow vehicle enthusiasts can continue to recreate in popular wintertime areas including Sierra Buttes/Lake Basin, Robinson Flat, Donner Summit, Yuba Pass, Carpenter Ridge, White Rock Lake, and other locations.
Up to 34 over-snow vehicle crossings of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.
Continued grooming on over 247 miles of over-snow vehicle trails where there is 12-18 inches of snow. This includes popular trails such as the Sierra Buttes, Yuba Pass, China Wall, and Little Truckee Summit trail networks.
135 additional miles of non-groomed, over-snow vehicle trails located outside of cross-country, designated areas. This includes 53 miles of easements crossing private property. These trails will be subject to the same snow-depth requirement as cross-county, designated areas or, where there is an underlying Tahoe National Forest System road, a 6 inch snow depth requirement.
Formal opportunities for public comment regarding the Over-Snow Vehicle Use Designation have passed.
For more information please see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), attached. Additional details, including the entire Draft Decision, the Final EIS, the Legal Notice, and project maps can be found at https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=45914.
* For Class-1 OSVs including snowmobiles, tracked motorcycles, snow-cats, tracked all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and tracked utility terrain vehicles (UTVs).
A: As a guideline to avoid damaging resources, a minimum of 12 inches of moderate to heavy density, uncompacted snow is generally needed. Sierra storms typically have a moderate to high water content. Snow water equivalency (SWE) is also an indicator for avoiding damage to resources. An SWE of 4 inches can be a reasonable baseline for avoiding resource damage.
On designated OSV trails with underlying roads (non-groomed), a minimum of 6 inches of uncompacted snow is typically needed to avoid damage to the underlying road surface.
Q: What is the basis for the 12-18 inch snow-depth requirement for trails designated available for grooming?
A: The California State Parks' Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division snow depth standards for grooming is currently 12 to 18 inches of snow. Much of the grooming of over-snow vehicle trails on the Tahoe National Forest is accomplished through grants from California State Parks. Thus, adherence to the state snow-depth standard is mandatory to accomplish grooming activities.
Q: I commented on the Draft EIS in 2018. Where can I see the response to my comments?
A: The Tahoe National Forest received over 2,200 comment letters in response to the Draft EIS. The content of all comments was read, considered in the development of the Draft Decision, and entered into the project record. Responses to public comments were categorized and organized by seven general topics and seventy-four subtopics and are documented in Appendix H (FEIS Volume III). Each comment was assigned a unique identifier number. Appendix H contains an alphabetical list of commenters and the identifier number assigned to each comment. To find your unique identifier number, your comment, and the response, view Appendix H (Volume III of the Final EIS) located at https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=45914.
Q: Can I object to the Draft Record of Decision?
A: The draft decision is subject to two different objection processes because it includes both a project-level decision as well as a Forest Plan amendment decision.
Individuals or entities who have submitted timely, specific written comments about the proposed project during any designated opportunity for public comment are eligible to file an objection on the project.
Individuals or entities who have submitted substantive formal comments related to the plan amendment during the opportunities for public comment are eligible to file an objection on the forest plan amendment portion of the Project.
For complete instructions on objection eligibility and how to object, please see the Tahoe NF OSV Project Opportunity to Object Legal Notice athttps://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=45914.
Q: Were there changes made to the Selected Alternative between the Draft EIS and the Final EIS?
Granite Flat area (west of HWY 89).
A 300-500 foot zone near the ridgeline adjacent to Tinkers knob.
Adding designated snow trails (not available for grooming) outside of designated cross-county, over-snow vehicle use areas.
Several OSV trails across private lands where the Tahoe National Forest holds easements.
Class 1 OSVs: These are vehicles that typically exert 1.5 psi or less. This includes snowmobiles, tracked motorcycles, snow-cats, tracked ATVs, and tracked UTVs.
Class 2 OSVs: These are OSVs that typically exert over 1.5 psi. This includes tracked 4WD SUVs and tracked 4WD trucks.
Changing the amount, and type, of Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) crossings. More PCT crossings were added based on public comment.
Q: Why are there designated crossings of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT)?
A: Approximately 99 miles of the PCT traverse the Tahoe National Forest. Of that, 76 miles of the PCT are on National Forest System lands. OSV use on the PCT is prohibited by the National Scenic Trails Act, P.L 90-543, Section 7(c). To provide a legal opportunity to cross the PCT, the Draft Decision provides 34 designated OSV crossings of varying crossing widths. The purpose of these crossings is to allow OSV users to get across the PCT in situations where OSV use is designated in areas located on either side of the trail.
Q: How are over-snow vehicle users supposed to cross the PCT?
A: Of the 34 designated PCT crossings, fourteen crossings will utilize underlying roads identified on the Tahoe National Forest's Motor Vehicle Use Map and will be the width of the underlying road (approximately 14 feet).
Twenty OSV crossings of the PCT will not utilize underlying roads and will range in width up to a 1/4 mile. These wider crossings are located where snow conditions are highly variable such as areas prone to wind loading of snow and the formation of cornices. These wider crossings give OSV users options to select a safe crossing of the PCT.
In all cases, OSV users would be required to cross the PCT at 90 degrees, or as close to 90 degrees as is safe to cross, to minimize the time and distance needed to cross the trail. Additionally, OSV users would be required to cross the PCT at the designated location, or as close to the designated location as is safe. These situational variance allowances for the PCT designated crossings were added to the Draft Decision/Final EIS based on comments to the Draft EIS, and are designed for the safety of OSV users in highly variable snow conditions.
Q: How many acres were previously designated for over-snow vehicle use before this process? Why has this amount changed?
A: Before this Over-Snow Vehicle Use Designation process, 636,000 acres were available for over snow vehicle use according to the Tahoe National Forest Land and Resource management Plan.
The largest factor that accounts for decreases in OSV designated use acreage is elevation and adherence to the Travel Management Rule's Subpart C Regulations.
Based on decades of managing and monitoring OSV use on the Tahoe NF, it is rare that there is consistent snow coverage to provide OSV opportunities under 5,000 foot elevation. Therefore, areas under 5,000 feet in elevation were generally not considered "adequate" for managed OSV use and were generally not included in the selected Alternative –which accounts for over 145,000 acres previously designated as available for over-snow vehicle use.
