Army Lt. Col. Will Adams, who had been stationed in Afghanistan for the past year, was actually behind the plate decked out in full catcher's gear. After he caught the pitch from his daughter, he took off the mask and the surprise reunion was on. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/05/16/army-lt-col-surprises-daughter-on-ceremonial-first-pitch/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e5c_1368893930 joe prole Homecoming at Home Plate Surprise return, Military Fri, 17 May 2013 15:16:44 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=974_1368817608 joe prole Despite record-breaking flooding in parts of the Midwest this year, budget cuts threaten to shut down hundreds of stream gauges across the United States. The gauges are automated systems that collect data every 15 minutes. Every hour, that data is put through a satellite system and dispersed to the National Weather Service (NWS). According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), nearly 300 stream gauges are at risk for closure due to funding issues or shortages. A 5 percent funding cut will take place in 2013, according to Program Coordinator of the National Streamflow Information Program, Mike Norris. The USGS operates about 85 percent of all stream gauges. "We have no choice but to take cuts," Norris said. On average, one stream gauge costs between $16,000 to $16,500 per year to operate and maintain, according to Norris. In 2012, the total cost of gauge operation was $165 million. The USGS sends staff out to maintain stream gauges approximately six times per year. The Department of Commerce, one of more than 850 federal, state and local agencies that help to fund gauges, had not returned a request for comment as of press time. http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/flood-risk-budget-cuts-close-s/12263381 Interactive Map of River Gauges http://water.weather.gov/ahps/forecasts.php http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=974_1368817608 joe prole Budget Cuts to Result in Closure of Nearly 300 Flood Gauges Flood gauges, River gauges Fri, 17 May 2013 13:30:42 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4f9_1368810845 joe prole Gerre Ninnemann initially saw the bear running after his dog, Maddy, on Wednesday. He then went outside the Silver Cliff cabin to summon the 8-year-old yellow lab inside, but the bear chased and tackled Ninnemann, biting and clawing at his back. "I came running out into the yard here, shouting, waving my arms at the bear, thinking that would scare him away," the retired financial planner told the station. "But it didn't. All it did was leave the dog and come right for me." Ninnemann briefly escaped and ran to the corner of the cabin, but the bear mauled him again. Ninnemann's wife, Marie, then found a shotgun in the cabin's basement, but she didn't know how to load it properly. She instead took the weapon outside the struck the bear on its head, allowing her husband to escape. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/05/17/wisconsin-woman-reportedly-saves-husband-from-attacking-bear/ (longer vid on linked webpage) Pic of bear looking into cabin just after this attack http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4f9_1368810845 joe prole Man Attacked By Bear, Wife Clubs Bear With Shotgun Bear attack, Louisville shotgun Thu, 16 May 2013 09:03:02 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=277_1368709019 joe prole Eric Holder at a House Judiciary Committee Meeting on Wednesday responding to questions regarding numerous Dept. of Justice scandals. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=277_1368709019 joe prole The "I Don't Know" Song The Attorney General of the United States, Omert`a Tue, 14 May 2013 14:52:10 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=dec_1368557114 joe prole The Lost World is a 1925 silent fantasy adventure film and an adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 novel of the same name. The movie was produced by First National Pictures, a large Hollywood studio at the time, and stars Wallace Beery as Professor Challenger. This version was directed by Harry O. Hoyt and featured pioneering stop motion special effects by Willis O'Brien (an invaluable warm up for his work on the original King Kong directed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack). Writer Doyle appears in a frontspiece to the film. In 1998, the film was deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lost_World_(1925_film) http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=dec_1368557114 joe prole Lost World (1925) Stop motion film, Silent adventure film, King Kong prequel Thu, 09 May 2013 11:21:16 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3cb_1368112210 joe prole An annular eclipse of the sun - what some are calling a ring of fire eclipse - will take place over Australia and the Pacific Ocean on May 9 or 10, 2013 (the difference in date depends on whether you are east or west of the International Date Line). However, to see it, you have to reside somewhere along the long yet narrow track that is 13,300 kilometers long and only about 200 kilometers wide. Outside the extremely narrow path of the ring of fire eclipse, a much larger area of the world will get to see a partial eclipse of the sun. http://earthsky.org/tonight/solar-eclipse-over-wide-stretch-of-pacific-ocean-on-may-910 The online Slooh Space Camera will host a free webcast featuring live views of the eclipse today, beginning at 5:30 p.m. EDT (2130 GMT).

"We recognize the buzz we receive when we launch fun flavours like Turkey and Gravy Jones Soda and Bacon Jones Soda." Following in the footsteps of other distinctive flavours for which Jones Soda has become known, Poutine flavoured Jones Soda is based on the quintessential Canadian dish made with French fries, brown gravy, and cheese curds, and is being released as Jones Soda's latest limited edition flavour. "We recognize the buzz we receive when we launch fun flavours like Turkey and Gravy Jones Soda and Bacon Jones Soda," commented Andrew Baumann, Jones Soda's Marketing & Social Media Manager. "With continued requests for these past flavours and calls to keep coming out with more, we decided to create this new, unique flavour as a nod to our Canadian heritage. With a nice balance of rich, savory gravy over a starchy potato base, and accented with those fatty, cheesy notes you expect in a plate of poutine, we believe we've developed the perfect liquid version of this undisputedly Canadian delicacy." The Poutine flavour will be available in select regions across Canada and most notably in Quebec (where Poutine was invented in the 1950s), as well as Ontario and Vancouver. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20130430005625/en/Jones-Soda-Dishes-Canadian-Delicacy http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3ed_1367611505 joe prole Here's One Just For The Canadians Flavored Soda, Gastric Juice
