Together with photos of the shutdown at different parks. According to the National Park service, 401 National Park sites are closed under this partial Government Shutdown. Over 20,000 furloughed staff. 3,000 staff deemed essential. 715,000 park visitors per day turned away. 450,000 in lost federal revenue per day. 300,000 in lost entrance fees. 150,000 in other lost spending.

Extra power or linebacker hoping for some extra muscle. No, Lance Armstrong was an international hero. A seven timeTour De France winner, the usain bolt of his sport. Not to mention a public face in the fight against cancer. Yet in his confessional last night with oprah, he confessed only what was obvious to anyone who wanted to see it, that he doped throughout his cycling career. But armstrong did not admit to cheating, denied he was a doping ringleader, didnt admit to bullying, and seemed emotionally incapable of sympathy for the people whose lives he ruined and money he took when they tried to do nothing more than tell the truth about what he had done. Joining me is the daily beasts Buzz Bissinger and Sports Editor for the nation dave zirin. Buzz, in august of 2012, just five months ago, you wrote a cover story for newsweek entitled i still believe in Lance Armstrong, and yet last night his interview with Oprah Winfrey began with a series of yes and no questions.
