RiverKings trade Banga for pair of Killer Bees
The Memphis RiverKings announced today that the team has traded the rights to center Travis Banga to the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees for the rights to forward Matt Reynolds and defenseman Ryan Carrigan.
Reynolds, 6-foot, 200 lbs, played the 2005-06 season with the Fort Worth Brahmas and was originally signed last off-season by the Rocky Mountain Rage. The Athens, Ontario native was traded to Rio Grande Valley on September 11, 2006. Last season with the Killer Bees, the second year professional scored 17 goals and had 28 assists in 56 games. Prior to turning pro, Reynolds played college hockey at York University in Toronto and major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League.
Carrigan, 6-foot-1, 203 lbs, played his second pro season and his first with the Killer Bees in 2006-2007. He started his professional career with the Rockford IceHogs before signing with Rio Grande Valley prior to last season. In 62 games with the Bees, the Burli...

Fellow lawmakers worried about Ophelia Ford’s health
Reported by Janice Broach
May 22, 2007 03:46 PM
Fellow state legislators of Ophelia Ford gave the controversial senator mixed reviews at the capitol today, while her family works to prepare an intervention.
Some people are wondering if Ophelia Ford needs help. Ford didn’t show up for Monday’s senate session.
She told us by phone she was not feeling well.
“It’s been really really rough today and I couldn’t, I couldn’t. I tried and I tried and I tried but the rest of the week I can make it to all of them my committee meetings in the morning,” Ford told Action News 5’s Janice Broach Monday night.
Senator Ford said she would make it to her committee meetings on Tuesday.
But there’s a ca...

Net taxes could arrive by this fall
By Declan McCullagh
Staff Writer, CNET News.com
Published: May 23, 2007, 10:10 PM PDT
The era of tax-free e-mail, Internet shopping and broadband connections could end this fall, if recent proposals in the U.S. Congress prove successful.
State and local governments this week resumed a push to lobby Congress for far-reaching changes on two different fronts: gaining the ability to impose sales taxes on Net shopping, and being able to levy new monthly taxes on DSL and other connections. One senator is even predicting taxes on e-mail.
At the moment, states and municipalities are frequently barred by federal law from collecting both access and sales taxes. But they’re hoping that their new lobbying effort, coordinated by groups including the National Governors Association, will pay off by permitting them to collect billions of dollars in new revenue by next year.
If that doesn’t happen, other taxes may zoom upward instead...

Record gas price: Dirty dozen
Gallon approaches $3.23 to set 12th-consecutive record high; widespread increases continue ahead of the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
By Chris Isidore, CNNMoney.com senior writer
May 24 2007: 7:26 AM EDT
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Gas prices hit record highs for the 12th straight day Thursday, as drivers prepared to hit the road for the Memorial Day holiday and the start of the summer driving season.
There is no immediate relief in sight, as prices continue to rise in most of the country. Midwest prices continue to soar, resulting in the three most expensive states in the nation being in that region.
The latest reading from AAA Wednesday showed that the nationwide average for a gallon of regular unleaded hit $3.227, up from $3.221 on Wednesday.
The motorist group’s survey of 85,000 gas stations, by far the broadest sampling of gas prices, has been showing a series of record highs starting May 13.

Well, it’s happened again. Just when I think I’ve reached the height of geekiness, someone has to come along and humble me. Apparently there are folks out there doing Star Wars and Star Trek marriages (yes, those are links for the any non-geek that might happen to stumble upon this site). Be sure to head over to Mental Floss to see more photos and footage from actually super geek weddings. Proof that sometimes the geek DOES get the girl. Hell, sometimes the geek is the girl.
What I don’t get is how Will and I are both huge Star Wars fans, and moderate Trekkies, so why didn’t we think of this?

MySpace agrees to share sex offender data
RALEIGH, N.C. — Faced with legal demands from state attorneys general, MySpace.com said today it will release data on registered sex offenders it has identified and removed from the popular social networking Web site.
The company, citing federal privacy laws, initially rebuffed a demand from North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper and colleagues in seven other states who last week asked for data on how many registered sex offenders are using the site and where they live.
MySpace agreed today to provide the information to all states after some members of the group filed subpoenas or took other legal actions to demand it. The company said last week such efforts were required under the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act before it could legally release the data.
“Different states are going about it different ways,” said Noelle Talley, spokeswoman for Cooper, who filed a “civil investigat...

From Wired Magaine comes the list of Patently Bad Ideas
Eric Steuer
04.24.07
Ever gotten drunk with your buddies and had a ridiculously awesome, testosterone-inspired idea? You’re not alone. Just ask Scott Seegert, who combed through the more than 7 million inventions filed with the US Patent and Trademark office to find the dumbest, dude-liest schemes ever proffered. He compiled his favorites in a new book, It’s a Guy Thing: Awesome Innovations From the Underdeveloped Male Mind. Here’s a sampling of choice man-novations Seegert uncovered.
Pogo-Copter (1969)
Take a standard pogo stick, add a wheel and a propeller and what have you got? A spring-loaded ticket to the hospital. As you bounce, the copter’s blades send you high into the air. It’s like floating on a cloud — for about a second. Then you crash.

Ophelia Ford Hospitalized After Bizarre Tirade
By Lucas L. Johnson II
Associated Press Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WHBQ FOX13 myfoxmemphis.com) —
State Sen. Ophelia Ford was taken to a hospital by ambulance one day after delivering an angry, rambling tirade in a committee meeting, say Democratic lawmakers who were familiar with the incident.
Two Democratic lawmakers, who asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitive nature of the news, said Ford was taken to the hospital Tuesday, spent the night and was released Wednesday.
One lawmaker said Ford, D-Memphis, was weak “because she hasn’t been eating properly.” The legislator did not have any information on what was wrong with Ford specifically or what treatment she received.

Ok, I’m having a spam problem. So if you’re trying to leave an actual, honest to goodness, “I wanna talk about this” kind of message and you’re having trouble, I do apologize. Try cutting down the number of links you include in your comment (try to make it just one) and don’t use silly words or phrases like “hot young asian mortgages”.
And if you’re a spammer, kiss my grits!

| Crackpot |
| 2007-05-16 14:54:25 |
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water, at the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of it’s accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. “I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.”
The old woman smiled, “Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path , but not on the other pot’s side? That&r...

Boron blanks Kings in Game 3
By JOHN J. ROBERTS
SOUTHAVEN, Miss. – Tim Boron is two for two. The Colorado Eagles rookie goalie has received the tap from coach Chris Stewart to make the first road start in two consecutive series, and Boron has responded both times with spectacular shutouts.
The latest, a 3-0 win Wednesday night against the Memphis RiverKings, gives the Eagles a 2-1 lead in the Central Hockey League’s Northern Conference final.
Boron recorded 33 saves and made first-period goals by Steve Haddon and Fraser Filipic stand up for the balance of the game. Ryan Tobler added a late emptynetter to extend his goal-scoring streak to four games....
