Is my Iphone 32GB 3GS Completely useless now? My phone got stuck yesterday, it was jailbreaked 3.0 and unlocked. So i did a restore through iTunes and it restored it to 3.1 Now my phone is locked, meaning i cant use my SIM and also it cant be jailbreaked. Is my phone completely useless now or is there something i can do? Atleast is there anyway to make it unlocked so i can use it as a phone? Thanks.
Intuition. It’s real. Listen to it. “There are people who are generic. They make generic responses and they expect generic answers. They live inside a box and they think people who don’t fit into their box are weird. But I’ll tell you what, generic people are the weird people. They are like genetically-manipulated plants growing inside a laboratory, like indistinguishable faces, like droids. Like ignorance.”—C. JoyBell C. (via observando) “Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person’s ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.”—C.S. Lewis (via observando) “ A white girl wore a bindi at Coachella. And, then my social media feeds went berserk. Hashtagging the term “cultural appropriation” follows the outrage and seems to justify it at the same time. Except that it doesn’t. Cultural appropriation is the adoption of a specific part of one culture by another cultural group. As I (an Indian) sit here, eating my sushi dinner (Japanese) and drinking tea (Chinese), wearing denim jeans (American), and overhearing Brahm’s Lullaby (German) from the baby’s room, I can’t help but think what’s the big deal? The big deal with cultural appropriation is when the new adoption is void of the significance that it was supposed to have — it strips the religious, historical and cultural context of something and makes it mass-marketable. That’s pretty offensive. The truth is, I wouldn’t be on this side of the debate if we were talking about Native American headdresses, or tattoos of Polynesian tribal iconography, Chinese characters or Celtic bands. Why shouldn’t the bindi warrant the same kind of response as the other cultural symbols I’ve listed, you ask? Because most South Asians won’t be able to tell you the religious significance of a bindi. Of my informal survey of 50 Hindu women, not one could accurately explain it’s history, religious or spiritual significance. I had to Google it myself, and I’ve been wearing one since before I could walk. We can’t accuse non-Hindus of turning the bindi into a fashion accessory with little religious meaning because, well, we’ve already done that. We did it long before Vanessa Hudgens in Coachella 2014, long before Selena Gomez at the MTV Awards in 2013, and even before Gwen Stefani in the mid-90s. Indian statesman Rajan Zed justifies the opposing view as he explains, “[The bindi] is an auspicious religious and spiritual symbol… It is not meant to be thrown around loosely for seductive effects or as a fashion accessory…” If us Indians had preserved the sanctity and holiness of the bindi, Zed’s argument for cultural appropriation would have been airtight. But, the reality is, we haven’t. The 5,000 year old tradition of adorning my forehead with kumkum just doesn’t seem to align with the current bindi collection in my dresser — the 10-pack, crystal-encrusted, multi-colored stick-on bindis that have been designed to perfectly compliment my outfit. I didn’t happen to pick up these modern-day bindis at a hyper-hipster spot near my new home in California. No. This lot was brought from the motherland itself. And, that’s just it. Culture evolves. Indians appreciated the beauty of a bindi and brought it into the world of fashion several decades ago. The single red dot that once was, transformed into a multitude of colors and shapes embellished with all the glitz and glamor that is inherent in Bollywood. I don’t recall an uproar when Indian actress Madhuri Dixit’s bindi was no longer a traditional one. Hindus accepted the evolution of this cultural symbol then. And, as the bindi makes it’s way to the foreheads of non-South Asians, we should accept — even celebrate — the continued evolution of this cultural symbol. Not only has it managed to transcend religion and class in a sea of one-billion brown faces, it will now adorn the faces of many more races. And that’s nothing short of amazing. So, you won’t find this Hindu posting a flaming tweet accusing a white girl of #culturalappropriation. I will say that I’m glad you find this aspect of my culture beautiful. I do too.”— Why a Bindi Is NOT an Example of Culture Appropriation by Anjali Joshi (via breannekiele) Hmm interesting(via tartakayy) Fuckin fascinating. Excellent attitude. Way to be a progressive, productive member of the human race.

Most people think of proms as something that takes place when the birds are singing and leaves are on the trees. But residents of Effingham Terrace and Wetherell Place group homes got a head start on the area's high school proms with a Twilight Prom this past weekend at Teutopolis Knights of Columbus. Jody Workman, residential service director at Effingham Terrace, said some of her residents told her last fall that they had never been to a prom. "Many of our residents didn't even go to high school," Workman said. So, with a little planning, Workman and other staff members set up the event. The Knights of Columbus gave the group a discount on hall rental, while a number of businesses donated food and other goodies for the dance. Workman said staff members Crystal Veatch of Effingham and Carol Kahley of Wetherell Place assisted mightily with prom planning. She added that residents - who range in age from 22 to 89 - were tickled to death to have this special event in their lives. "They are all very excited," she said. "They've been talking about it for weeks. It really bolsters their self-confidence." Resident Amber Stiverson of Effingham Terrace, who grew up in the Vermilion County community of Rossville, said it took her a couple of hours to get ready for prom. "I've never been to a prom before," Stiverson said. "It's a lot of fun because I'm with my friends." Effingham Terrace resident Rob Barker, originally from Charleston, said this was his first prom, as well. Barker said he had definite plans for the evening. "I'm going to be dancing like crazy," Barker said. Barker's mother Debbie said her son was particularly excited about riding in a limousine on his way to the prom. "He was very proud - very excited," Mrs. Barker said. "He likes to dress up and dance." Other parents in attendance were happy to see their kids having such a good time. "It's exciting to watch their faces, knowing they got to participate in something everybody else does," said Janet Smallwood of Dundas, whose son Jacob lives at one of the homes. "It's nice to see them enjoy life instead of life passing them by," added Jacob's dad Clinton. Bill Grimes can be reached at 217-347-7151, ext. 132, or at [[email_addr]].

The Canyon County Mosquito Abatement District is reporting its first West Nile Virus mosquito activity of 2013. Officials said nine traps tested positive for West Nile based on trapping results from the Fourth of July holiday weekend. The traps were located near U.S. 95 and the Boise River, Roswell Marsh, Roswell Cemetery, two sites on Ballard Lane in Middleton and Channel Road east of Caldwell. Hot weather has led to an increase in the numbers of the species of mosquito that is one the main carriers of the virus, officials said. The abatement district recommends the following to avoid mosquito bites: Cover exposed skin. Wear repellant containing DEET. Avoid outside activity between the hours of sunset and sunrise. Drain any standing water. There were no reported human cases in the county during 2012, officials said. Get more information on West Nile, including a map and updates about Idaho cases.

THE midfielder hit out at the treatment he's been receiving even when he's not in possession and urged linesmen to help the referees by pointing it out. RANGERS star Ian Black last night slammed the “cowards” who aim sly digs at him in the Third Division. The former Hearts midfielder was singled out for more rough treatment during Saturday’s 6-[[phy_address]] Stirling. And the 27-year-old insists it’s time the officials started giving him more protection. Black, hit out at the hatchet men earlier in the season when he claimed he could have lost an eye during a league clash with Clyde. And he was raging again after another bruising day against the Shire. He said: “I know sometimes I can dish it out but the off-the-ball stuff is cowardly. You have to deal with it though. “But I wouldn’t mind if the linesman would help out the ref from time to time. If they watched some of the challenges I got on TV then they would be losing a few marks on their performances. “Is it hard not to react? It’s very hard but I’m experienced now and have to control it. “If it was Ian Black would I be getting booked or red carded? 100 per cent. I would be walking up the tunnel for half the tackles done on me. “I just seem to have that reputation now but I need protection as well.” But Shire ace Paul Quinn rubbished Black’s coward claim and insisted the Gers star brings all the attention on himself. Quinn said: “I wouldn’t say it’s cowardly. For Ian to say it’s all happening to him is unfair. “He maybe does get a bit more treatment than most but maybe that’s because he has a reputation for dishing it out. “He’s a good player and didn’t earn his Scotland cap for nothing. But I would never leave a foot in to hurt someone. “Rangers have good players and move the ball really quickly so it’s going to happen at this level that they get caught late. “I’d imagine what Ian is talking about is not off-the-ball stuff but more tackles that are a second or two late. Black also came under fire from Clyde boss Jimmy Duffy after making similar pleas for protection in the wake of that Broadwood battle. But the Gers star hit back last night and said: “A manager we have played against came out in the papers saying that it was silly comments from me. “But if he put his face in front of me and I kicked it then I’m sure he would be wanting me sent off. I've got the marks and wounds to go with it but I am big enough to deal with it.” You've turned off story recommendations.

A half-century ago, television seized our attention with its coverage of the John Kennedy assassination. As the Nov. 22 anniversary nears, its has a huge quantity -- and, often, impressive quality -- of specials. Here's the round-up I sent to papers: By MIKE HUGHES As the 50th anniversary of the John Kennedy assassination nears, TV will be busy. Cable and PBS have a cascade of specials, many of them repeating often through the Nov. 22 anniversary. The broadcast networks and news channels have a few separate specials, but also plan extensive coverage during their regular shows. Here’s a chronological list of new films (subject to change), with some of the rerun times: “JFK: The Final Hours.” With great diligence and detail, this project talks to the people who were there, fronm Secret Service agent Clint Hill to a mariachi musician and kids in the crowd. We see them then and meet them now, catching rich memories. (8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8, National Geographic; reruns at 6 p.m. Sunday and Nov. 15) “JFK: The Smoking Gun.” This controversial film, claiming to find a second shooter, debuted last Sunday and reruns often. (8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8, Reelz; also 5 p.m. Sunday, followed at 6 by “JFK: Inside the Evidence”; then 10 p.m. Tuesday and 5 p.m. Nov. 15) “50 Years of Questions.” This takes a new look at the assassination and the Warren Commission’s report. Also, “Killing Kennedy” co-author Bill O’Reilly discusses the impact of events. (9 p.m. Saturday, Fox News Channel, rerunning at midnight) “Killing Kennedy.” Rob Lowe and Ginnifer Goodwin play John and Jackie Kennedy; their scenes seem a bit shallow, but there’s a deep portrait of Lee Harvey Oswald and his wife (Will Rothhaar, Michelle Trachtenberg). 8 p.m. Sunday,National Geographic, rerunning at 10 p.m. and midnight; same times Nov. 15, 9 a.m. Nov. 17) “American Experience.” The assassination and its aftermath are only a brief blip here. Instead, we get a brilliant portrait of Kennedy’s life, stuffed with historians and old footage. Other films have covered this, but few have been so detailed about Kennedy’s near-paralyzing physical ailments and his transition from casual playboy to serious world leader. (9-11 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, PBS) “Capturing Oswald.” This is co-produced by Kate Griendling, whose grandfather was the homicide detective handcuffed to Lee Harvey Oswald when he was shot. (10 p.m. Tuesday, Military Channel; same time Nov. 22) “Nova.” Fresh from its “Experience” portrait, PBS uses another of its top shows. A fresh forensics team examines the assassination evidence. (9 p.m. Wednesday, PBS; followed at 10 p.m. by “JFK: One PM Central Time,” which focuses on Walter Cronkite’s CBS reporting that day.) “The Sixties: The Assassination of President Kennedy.” CNN’s film project focuses on the Warren Commission report. (9 p.m. Thursday, CNN) “As It Happened: John F. Kennedy 50 Years.” Bob Schieffer was a 26-year-old Fort Wayne newspaper reporter that day. He ended up spending hours with Oswald’s wife and mother-in-law, taking them to the Dallas police station and then staying there. He tells that stories and others, intercut with clips of Cronkite’s CBS coverage. (9 p.m. Nov. 16, CBS) “The Day Kennedy Died.” Leslie Woodhead (“The Hunt for Bin Laden”) uses a minute-by-minute approach, mixing old footage and photos, plus new interviews. We meet the woman who reluctantly housed Oswald the night before the shooting, the man who drove him to work and the man wrongly accused of the killing, plus a doctor, a secret service agent and more. (9 p.m. Nov. 17,

Oh and continuing the Athena library post, the whole camp goes though a pretty severe Harry Potter phase one year. Sword fights break out over spoilers. They hold read alouds in some cabins so that everybody can get up to speed. The campers sort themselves into houses. The godly parentage has no correlation to Hogwarts house (A Ravenclaw-Athena did a statistical study.) There is Hufflepuff-Ares kids fighting to defend their friends. Gryffindor-Apollos have an archery contest against Slytherin-Apollos. (The Hufflepuff-Apollos are medics.) Slytherin-Demeters get help from Ravenclaw-Demeters to make their gardens the best they can be. The house rivalries get so intense that Chiron arranges a four-way game of capture the flag. The Stoll brothers (Slytherin) are fighting Clarisse (Griffindor) for the Griffindor flag. Sileana (Giffindor) has the Hufflepuff flag at the banks of the creek when Annabeth and Beckendorf (Ravenclaw) dash across with the Slytherin flag. They didn’t even know it was gone. But I just imagine that when Nico, Percy, and Thalia go on quests together, Nico and Thalia are really good at blending in and hiding. And then we have Percy. Like Thalia would act natural or climb a tree or some thing Nico would fade into the shadows And then Percy would do something Percyish like pretend to be a tree or fall over and try to be a carpet. Pushing Daisies AU where Nico has the ability to bring the dead back to life, first using this ability on Bianca (but not knowing about the limitations, so when Bianca touches him again she dies permanently), and then on Hazel, who he vows not to make the same mistake with. They use his gift to help the FBI (Jason and Reyna + co) with murder investigations uwu The Athena cabin has a library built underneath it. They have a ton of books on greek mythology ranging from extensive bestiaries to obscure lore to basic guides for new campers. However, they also have lots of other books available for anyone who wants to read. The best scribes in the cabin work on translating modern fiction books into ancient greek so that they are easier for demigods to read. They have the Harry Potter series printed in triplicate because they were so popular. One kid in the 1970s spent three years translating the Lord of the Rings series. I think the Stoll brothers and all of the Hermes cabin are more than people think of them. They’re not all pranks and foul play. Hermes is the god of travelers and communication. When new campers come, they stay in cabin 11. The Hermes kids make sure they are comfortable and have all the things they need to settle in to camp. They’ve become fiercely protective of new unclaimed kids. After the Titan war, they know that these kids will find a home, but it’s cabin 11’s job to take care of them until they do. The Stolls instated a ‘No Pranks on Newbies’ rule. Partly to make new campers feel safe, and partly because with unclaimed kids you have no idea what you are pissing off. Hermes kids are free reign though. they know that their siblings can give as good as they get. i dont even interpret “uwu” as a smiley i just read it as “oo woo” March 2014 41 posts So, a Quidditch match at Hogwarts, right? Slytherin vs Gryffindor (yeah yeah obvious, I know shut up). And all of a sudden there’s this STAMP STAMP CLAP from the Gryffindor stand and all the Muggle-borns start singing/screaming WE WILL ROCK YOU across the pitch towards the Slytherins. And then there’s this little pause while the Muggle-born Slytherins (you know those fuckers are there, don’t deny it) have a really speedy chat, and then they retaliate with WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?! and the wizards are just standing there like what the fuck is going on?? hello my name is star trek SHIT i mean I have this other headcanon that the satyrs are androgynous as a species. Most don’t really care about gender. They let their demigod friends call them by the pronouns they lean towards. Pronouns don’t really matter in their culture. Grover always presented as a dude. It made things easier for him as a guardian, especially when he started growing a beard. (All satyrs grow beards.) The satyrs at Camp are usually pretty genderfluid though. That’s why when Grover shows up for the next quest in a floral skirt and padded boots that cover their legs, no one bats an eye. Well, Percy points out that the print doesn’t match Grover’s handbag. He get slapped upside the head by Annabeth and said bag simultaneously in revenge. the ham is melting, the turkey is suspended in midair, the salami is hatching from its own egg. why did we even come to the salvador deli Percy Jackson and where the fuck is my mom Percy Jackson and where the fuck is the fleece Percy Jackson and where the fuck is Artemis Percy Jackson and where the fuck is the labyrinth Percy Jackson and where the fuck do the titans think they’re going Jason Grace and who the fuck is Percy Jackson Percy Jackson and where the fuck am I Percy Jackson and where the fuck is nico Everyone Else and where the fuck is Percy Jackson i wanna look like someone who can cut you but still bakes cookies in her spare time For his 15th birthday, Sally and Paul pooled their money and got Percy a really nice salt water fish tank. Paul knew that Percy loved swimming and the ocean and thought it was a great gift. Sally agreed, but she wanted him to be able to pick his own fish. He gets some tropical fish, like a clown fish, a lion fish and some seahorses. He also finds a blowfish as a joke for Paul. He wonders how Percy can afford all these fish, Sally has to step in and do some hand waving. Tyson brings a rock fish the next time he visits. Percy ends up caring for his fish a lot. He makes sure that his mom can properly care for them when he is gone. One day a new fish shows up in the tank. Its scales shine like silver, and the blue markings on its body and tail glow in the dark. No one says anything about its arrival. If Percy saves out some of his dinner and puts in a trash can fire down the street later, his stepdad doesn’t have to know. Mr. Chase is originally from London, so Annabeth grew up with an accent, albeit a subtle one. No one really bothered her about it out of either fear or respect. She does tend to use british slang which can be bit confusing. She got really mad once and called Percy a twat. He laughed and called it a made up word. One black eye later, he never made that mistake again. Even though Tyson is the child of two magical beings, he ended up looking vaguely Pacific islander. His hair is long and shaggy. It formed those half-dreds you get from to much work and not enough showers. Sleeping in the streets for half his life didn’t help. He doesn’t really care though; they helped hid his eye. Now that he works in the forges, his hair is a bit better groomed. It’s long enough now he ties it back while working. The Stoll brothers are forever angry that they aren’t identical twins, their mom could always tell them apart. Though, she could probably tell them apart even if they were identical. Not much gets past Maa Stoll. They once used some of her best sari to make a fort. She put ghost peppers in the curry the next night. The look on her face as she calmly ate it while they writhed on the floor was scarier than any monster they ever faced. Annabeth enters an architecture contest in San Francisco. She wins and is so excited she sends an Iris message to Percy even though it’s 3am in New york. She babbles on about vaulted ceilings and load bearing walls for half an hour. Percy falls back asleep five minutes in and she doesn’t notice until he starts snoring. Also, Nico gets really pale because of all his time in the Underworld. One time Percy drags him along on some team beach trip and he gets burned to a crisp. He retaliates by sending ghosts that sing sea shanties loudly all night so Percy can’t sleep. Over the years Percy gets more and more tan from adventures and general seaside time. His hair gets kinda shaggy too. One day he decides to get a tattoo of a trident or riptide or something. But because of his dip in the Styx, the needles can’t pierce his skin. He gets really bummed, so Grover draws on his arm with sharpie. Like afro-french Clarrise. She wears her hair in shoulder-length cornrows that whip around her head like medusa’s snakes. Clarrise joining with one of the Aphrodite cabin’s hair days to get then redone when they grow out. She refuses to let anyone but Silena touch them. But one time one of them offers her celestial bronze beads to put on the ends and she softens up a bit.

Our children, like ourselves, are very plugged in these days. Even if the television is off, computers, tablets and conversations with other kids keep our little ones involved in the events of the day. Bottom line: Our kids are paying attention and we need to recognize this fact and handle with sensitivity and care. The truth of the matter, says Dr. Argie Allen, is that sometimes bad things happen to good people. To start a difficult conversation with a child, Dr. Allen says you should start with the question, "What do you know?" Then, you can deal with what they have been told. You want to have an open dialogue with your children. Dr. Allen is a fan of what Mr. Rogers said, "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." Dr. Allen goes on to say that when children are traumatized, they look towards people that was to provide security to them. You can watch the full interview with Dr. Allen above. We will also have a full interview with her on the Fox 29 news at 5 & 10. NICE EASTER WEEKEND Decreasing clouds and the return of sunshine for the holiday weekend.

NEAR ASHEVILLE, North Carolina (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - The ride to school took a scary turn Tuesday for some students in North Carolina. "Real scary, I mean cause the whole bus tipped over and I was sitting in the seat on the other side and kind of flew to the other side," said one student. Their school bus flipped over on icy roads near Asheville. Only minor injuries were reported, but one student was taken to a local hospital. The driver said the bus started to slide as they came down a hill then it overturned. Highway patrol officials are investigating.

Did you know that Monday is Slow Food day? Earlier this year I was lucky enough to hear a keynote by the so-called “Father of Slow Food”: Carlo Petrini at the National Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa. An Italian food activist, Petrini started to expound the virtues of eating locally-grown, typically organic produce back in the mid-1980s and founded the now international Slow Food Movement. According to the Movement’s web site, Slow Food means “living an unhurried life, beginning at the table” and being against the commercial planting of genetically engineered crops. There’s no doubt that for Petrini, the act of slow food is not just a passion, but also a political endeavor, yet unlike most of the politicians we come across in the U.S. he doesn’t try and ram his views down our throats. Instead he conjures up another time when food was inevitably blessed before being eaten and valued because scarcity was always a possibility. “My grandparents used to kiss the breadcrumbs left on the table at the end of a meal as a way of saying “thank you” before wiping them away,” says Petrini. He firmly believes we have lost the soul connection to the food we eat, and thinking about the number of times I eat on the run, standing at the kitchen counter, or even in front of the fridge with the door wide open, it’s hard to disagree. You can read a recap of his speech on my Alice Dishes blog here: but I thought it might be helpful to share a few of the tips I picked up from listening to him. Before I do though, here’s a statistic that I found staggering: “We produce food for seven billion people on the planet, yet one billion still don’t have enough to eat.” Part of the problem is our (often) wasteful ways. Petrini paints an uncomfortably familiar scene that plays out all too frequently in my life: you drive to the store, spend a lot of money on groceries, get busy, dine out and end up not cooking or eating half the food you bought. Inevitably, after a few weeks resting in its chilly graveyard you finally walk your food to the trashcan. It’s a good reminder to apply a principle that all good chefs adhere to: plan what you are going to cook before you go shopping and buy only what you need. Petrini also talks about the importance of maintaining biodiversity. “Productizing everything is killing the future and ruining the soil. Thousands of species are being lost.” Think about the fairly recent reemergence of heirloom tomatoes. They may not look pretty but boy, do they taste good. He tells us we need to return to thinking of eating as an agricultural act, by which he means that all of us who “consume” are part of the ecosystem of farming. We all need to become “co-producers” and recreate the alliance between food producers and citizens. So what does this mean in practical terms? How can we help? He gives us a few answers: - Find out where your food comes from, or better still go straight to the farm, and then tell people where you bought your produce giving credit to the growers and the farmers. - Stand up for food labeling. California’s Prop 37 required that all genetically modified foods be labeled as such, but unfortunately wasn’t passed on the November ballot. Big food brands with too much to lose spent millions to defeat this Proposition. Look for produce labels that start with "9" - Cook with leftovers – this, Petrini believes – is the real art of cooking, pointing out that the word “economy” can be traced back to the Greek word oikonomos, "one who manages a household". Think of that wonderful Tuscan bread and tomato salad, Panzanella, devised as a way to use stale bread. - Keep your food heritage alive by tapping into the “University of Grandmothers.” Talk to your grandparents and the elders in your family about what and how they used to eat; share recipes before they are lost. Petrini urges us to get involved in building new paradigms. We need to reject waste; give food back its value; seize our common heritage by preserving centuries-old livestock breeds and seed stock, wrest control away from multi-nationals and support the many new organic farmers who are tending to the land. Think Tara Firma Farms in Petaluma, Full Belly Farm in the Capay Valley and Terra Firma in Winters, CA.. We can start by doing something for International Slow Food Day. Maybe take the time to cook a simple home-made meal tonight, savor every mouthful, and stop for a moment to mentally thank the farmers and workers who made it possible for the food to make it to your table.

After serving as the Defensive Coordinator at Portland last season, Greg Cavanah will now lead the Panther program. This afternoon, Cavanah was introduced as the new head football coach at Portland replacing Traye Aric who resigned in late November. "First and foremost Coach Cavanah has a ton of experience as he has coached across the state of Kentucky for a long time before coming to us this year," Portland Principal David Woods said. "He also is a very even keeled guy who is never high or low and he knows what the program is about and what is ahead of him." Aric was 5-26 in his three years at Portland and the Panthers are coming off an 0-[[phy_address]] a 12 game losing streak headed into the 2014 season. In 2012, Aric led the Panthers to the Class 5A playoffs as they won five games that season. For Cavanah, the Panther job will be his second head coaching gig as he was the head coach at Greenwood (KY) high school from 2010 to 2012 and complied a 19-[[phy_address]] for the Gators. The best year for Cavanah was in 2012 when the Gators went 8-3 and under Cavanah made back to back Class 5A playoff appearances. So far this offseason Portland joins Coffee County (Ryan Sulkowski), Howard (Mark Teague), Karns (Tobi Kilgore) and Lenoir City (Jeff Cortez) as schools who have already hired new coaches. There are now 20 schools in Carter, Perry County, Powell, Monterey, Warren County, Clarksville, Halls, Raleigh Egypt, Unicoi County, Nashville Overton, Marion County, Davidson Academy, Waverly, Kirby, Chattanooga Central, Jackson Christian, Knoxville Central, Seymour, Summit and Richland as schools currently looking for a head coach.

Not right? Results 1-4of [[phy_address]] Subang Jaya, Malaysia April 19, 2001 From journal Penang : The Pearl of the Orient by janeyee Penang, Malaysia April 2, 2004 From journal The Colours of Asia April 1, 2004 Many people visit Wat Chayamangkalaram to pray and to see the reclining Buddha, believed to be the third largest in the world. It is 33 meters in length. Behind the statue, there are urns that contain ashes of devotees. Your hair might stand walking in the aisle. It's a little eerie. The floor is laid with tiles of lotus patterns. Lotus is a symbol in Buddhism. The walls of this temple are impressive. There are a few thousand Buddha in the temple, not only the main ones, but also smaller ones, which fill the walls of the temple. Some tips : Shoes have to be taken off for entering the temple. Also, do not put on your cap as it shows disrespect to the Buddha and please take pictures with the flash turned off. Admission is FREE. by phileasfogg New Delhi, India February 22, 2004 The temple, a traditional Thai shrine, is typical of Thai architecture - elegantly soaring, curved roofs, lots of gold paint, and plenty of ornamentation. It’s all pretty flamboyant - gold paint covers much of the building - and the inside is in the form of a long, high hall, in which the statue of the Buddha lies on its side. The Reclining Buddha is big, but that’s about it. Personally, I found it rather unattractive - the white paint on it looks like fresh emulsion. Beneath and behind the Reclining Buddha are hundreds of small recesses in the wall, each containing a ceramic urn filled with the ashes of a devotee - whose photo is pasted in front of the urn. More than a wee bit spooky. All around, on the walls of the temple, are paintings depicting scenes from mythology; above them, the entire wall is covered with a three-dimensional pattern with tiny golden Buddhas seated in the centre of each pattern. All in all, I didn’t like Wat Chayamangkalaram that much - it’s not as beautiful as what lies opposite, at any rate. Across the road is a temple which definitely beats this one as far as beauty’s concerned - it’s the Burmese Buddhist Temple of Dhammikarma - truly stunning. A golden spire soars up on one side; and prettily curving, ornately carved golden roofs top the temple. Inside, a tall golden Buddha towers benevolently over the quiet hall, the inside of which is richly decorated with heavily carved and polished teak and gold - quite spectacular. The combined effect, of gold and teak, is rich, yet not gaudy. This is one place I’d recommend seeing, even though it isn’t as famous as Wat Chayamangkalaram.
It appears free agent linebacker Karlos Dansby's meeting with the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday proved to be a productive one. According to Arizona Sports 620's John Gambadoro, Dansby's visit with Cardinals' officials went well. Karlos Dansby had "good meeting" with Cards brass today. No contract discussed. Has interest from others including Jets, Houston and Atlanta— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) May 9, 2013 Dansby told me "it would be good to finish where he started" so he is very excited about the possibilities in Arizona.— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) May 9, 2013 The 31-year-old veteran spent the first six years of his career with the Cardinals. Dansby could be brought on board as insurance at the linebacker position due to Daryl Washington's recent troubles. Dansby, who spent the past three seasons with the Miami Dolphins, was released in March due to his high salary. He has compiled 709 tackles, 31.5 sacks and 11 interceptions in his career.

This fellowship is one of the oldest in the country, established in 1978. The program prepares graduates for distinguished careers as health care leaders in the field of aging, preparing the next generation of clinicians in the art and science of geriatric medicine. All Fellows are eligible to take the Geriatric Medicine Boards after one year, with select candidates continuing for an additional one to two years to complete advanced training as researchers and clinician educators. A unique feature of the Fellowship is its affiliation with a number of Harvard Medical School teaching institutions. The program includes a broad range of clinical settings that expose fellows to the full spectrum of older adult populations; from healthy, active seniors to frail elders with multiple chronic conditions. The distinguished faculty from BIDMC, Hebrew SeniorLife and partner institutions provide clinical expertise, training and mentorship. The Harvard Medical School sponsoring institutions participating in clinical educational experiences include: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Elder Service Plan of the North Shore (a PACE program), Hebrew SeniorLife, Mount Auburn Hospital, Spaulding Hospital Cambridge and the VA Boston Healthcare System. Fellows are exposed to primary care, house call medicine, institutional long term care, and healthcare for formerly homeless elders. The fellowship is also a current recipient of a special grant from the Health Resource Services Administration to implement an interdisciplinary training program for Geriatric Physicians, Dentists and Behavioral and Mental Health Professionals. This program features inter-disciplinary training for medicine, dental and psychiatry fellows; education about health care finance and policy, physician leadership, culturally competent care, and outreach to underserved populations.
Complex. The event program raised $1,391, which was donated to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Foundation. Anyone who was currently fighting cancer was honored with a brief on-field ceremony between games. North Georgia College & State University Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. John Clower (pictured), and family members participated in throwing out the honorary first pitch. The team honored those who taught us to fight and recognized those who continue the fight against cancer. The North Georgia softball program would like to thank Lander University for their support and participation in helping to “Save Second Base” in the final regular season home games of the 2009 season. The Saints two victories on Cancer Awareness Day ran their win-streak at the time to 12 games as North Georgia finished their historic season with the program’s best winning percentage in school history with a record of 50-5. North Georgia captured the Peach Belt Conference Regular Season Championship, PBC Tournament Championship, NCAA Southeast Dahlonega Regional Championship, and the NCAA Southeast Super Regional Dahlonega Championship to advance to their first-ever Division II College World Series.

Hey! Oh, hey there! What's up? I was wondering if I could trouble you for a few moments to talk to you about ways to save our environment. Oh no! Please don't navigate away. I see your cursor going towards your back button but I insist you please don't. I really do have something important to say about the environment. Oh, for the love of God, please don't close this window. I can only take so much rejection in my life. Working for Green Peace is so hard. I thought I was doing something productive after my boyfriend dumped me. In reality, I face rejection day after day as people walk by me. It's like getting dumped all over again, except this time the people don't have the Ace of Spades tattooed on their chest. Hey! I see you covering up your face with your scarf or pulling out your Blackberry, pretending like you have an important email. Ok, please don't check your email right now. I know with my previous sentence I probably reminded you to check to see if your Amazon order shipped, but I seriously would love a minute of your time to talk to you about the environment. Finding the tracking number on your shipment of the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack can totally wait, right? Okay, great thanks for staying. So here is what I have to say about the environment: Oh, hey! Wait! Where are you going? No! No! Can't video conferencing with your niece wait?

've just spent 18 months at home taking care my kids, says Nathan Hegedus at Slate. "I am not unemployed." I have a "real job" — but I live in Sweden. Thanks to the Swedish welfare state, I get a year and half of paternity leave following the birth of a child. "And, yes, I get paid." On a national level, generous parental leave policies have made child-rearing skills part of the masculine ideal, just like physical strength and career success. During my time off, I've found myself bonding with my children in a way that was "revolutionary to me as a working dad." They see me more as a nurturer now, and they always will. An excerpt: Here is the funny part: The dads act exactly like the moms. They talk about poop, whether their babies sleep, how tired they are, when their kid started crawling or walking or throwing a ball or whatever. ... No sports. No politics. No cars. And no questions about your job. Think about that. When in America — outside of maybe a sports bar during a really huge game — will any group of men gather and never ask the question, "So, what do you do?" I had expected great physical comedy in Daddyland — fathers covered with diaper leakage, babies covered with motor oil, men forcing resentful toddlers into soccer matches. I realize now how insensitive to my Swedish brothers this was. Swedish dads of my generation and younger have been raised to feel competent at child-rearing. They simply expect to do it, just as their wives and partners expect it of them. Read the full article at Slate.

Ryan Seacrest and girlfriend Julianne Hough’s romantic weekend in Miami Beach was put on hold for a bit, when the two had to make an emergency trip to a veterinarian’s office. Shortly after the “American Idol” host flew to Miami to spend some quality time with Hough, who has been in town shooting “Rock of Ages,” the two found themselves part of Saturday at the vet with her Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Lexi. “First time I legitimately balled my eyes out in years,” Hough tweeted on Saturday, apparently referring to the unexpected vet visit. “Being a helpless parent is the worst thing in the world!” While they didn’t reveal much details of the emergency, there was definitely a lot of waiting around. Seacrest posted a picture of himself on Twitter asleep on what looks like a receptionist desk. “Made a trip to the animal emergency room over the weekend,” he tweeted. It turned out that Lexi just had an upset stomach, and Seacrest and Hough were sure to inform their followers. “All is ok. Thx. Upset stomach! Have a good monday,” Seacrest posted. “All is well in Lexi land! Thanks for all of your sweet messages! It means the world! Xoxo,” Hough wrote. The couple then met up with singer Katy Perry to help celebrate her husband Russell Brand’s 36th birthday at Casa Tua on South Beach. The British comedian, who also stars in “Rock of Ages,” was then seen heading upstairs to a VIP section with his wife and friends. A source told People magazine: “They were super cool and had a blast. Sugarland, Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift Top Nominees at 2009 CMT Music Awards. Sugarland, Brad Paisley and Taylor Swift have emerged as the top finalists for the 2009 CMT Music Awards. Sugarland heads the list with five nominations, and Paisley and Swift have four each. The final nominees were announced Tuesday morning (May 19) during a CMT special hosted by Kellie Pickler and CMT’s Lance Smith. Fans cast more than 2.5 million votes to determine the four finalists nominees in all categories except video of the year. The final nominees for video of the year will be announced at the beginning of the live awards show telecast on June 16. The eight titles currently up for video of the year are considered in the tally for the final nominees. Those include Sugarland’s “All I Want to Do,” Paisley’s “Waitin’ on a Woman” and Swift’s “Love Story” along with Trace Adkins’ “You’re Gonna Miss This,” Kenny Chesney’s “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven,” Toby Keith’s “God Love Her,” Kid Rock’s “All Summer Long,” Lady Antebellum’s “Lookin’ for a Good Time,” Rascal Flatts’ “Every Day” and Carrie Underwood’s “Just a Dream.” The dancer-turned-actress Jennifer Morrison made her film debut in the movie “Intersection.” She has also starred in “Urban legends Final Cut” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” but she currently has a role on the Fox drama “House.” The actress was born August 19, 1979, in Chicago and has dated co-star Jesses Spencer. An actress who first earned her critical laurels (and reeled in a substantial television fanbase) as Dr. Alison Cameron on the blockbuster medical drama House (2004), Jennifer Morrison grew up well outside the realm of Hollywood, in a middle-class family in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights, Illinois. As a preteen and teenager, Morrison entered showbusiness via modeling, appearing in innumerable print campaigns and gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated for Kids at one point; after wrapping up high school, she attended Loyola University as a theater major (reportedly graduating in only three years) and subsequently trained with the legendary Steppenwolf theatrical ensemble, onetime home to such stars as John Malkovich, Gary Sinise, and Glenne Headly. From there, Hollywood fame was merely a short leap away; by the time of her Loyola graduation, Morrison had already officially debuted onscreen, with a small part as the daughter of Richard Gere and Sharon Stone in the psychological drama Intersection (1994) and a more significant role as a missing girl who psychically haunts Kevin Bacon in the supernatural thriller Stir of Echoes (1999). Morrison signed for her first lead with a role that many felt unworthy of her talents and intelligence: that of Amy Mayfield, a young film student who gets in way over her head amid a thesis project on urban legends, in John Ottman’s slasher outing Urban Legends: The Final Cut (2000). Subsequent projects included Michael Davis’s teen-oriented romantic comedy 100 Women (2002), Casey La Scala’s teen comedy Grind (2003), and — as something of a nadir — the critically despised holiday gross-out fest Surviving Christmas (2004), in which she played Ben Affleck’s snotty girlfriend. As indicated, House represented Morrison’s breakthrough and the role that finally brought her public attention. The long-running Fox drama told of Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), a diagnostician with an astounding degree of medical knowledge and an absolute dearth of social skills. As Dr. Cameron (an immunologist with a not-so-secret crush on the physician), Morrison brought a much-needed dose of warmth and vulnerability to the series. Morrison subsequently made headlines in 2007, when she was tapped to appear as Winona Kirk, James T. Kirk’s mother, in J.J. Abrams’s much-anticipated 11th installment of the Star Trek series.

Any other suggestions? Let us know! Dancing with the Stars is all set to eliminate yet another celebrity and professional dancer from the competition tonight. Last night, the eight remaining couples jumped in the jive or sizzled in the rumba. It was a night of upsets, sort of, with Lil’ Kim and Derek taking control of the top spot of the judges’ leaderboard. All the dancers’ fates are now in the hands of America. Stay with me to find out which celebrities will find themselves in the bottom two, and which one will be leaving the competition tonight. Live! From Hollywood! This is Dancing with the Stars! Tom Bergeron and Samantha Harris announce that the dance that the judges want to see again from last night is Lil’ Kim and Derek’s jive. Woohoo, this is the second time these two were asked to do the encore. I’m so impressed with how well they are doing this competition. Also, I love Lil’ Kim’s sense of humor in doing a jailbird-themed dance, since she herself was once a jailbird (and also, apparently, Marc Jacobs’ pen pal). Now we get a quick recap of last night’s performances but you can just read my recap here. But tonight, each couple’s ballroom life is on the line, and one couple will soon have to say good-bye. After the commercial break, the [[phy_address]] of West Side Story perform “America.” I’m going to out myself as a big geek, but I love musical theater! I find this kind of performance so much more interesting and fun to watch than some of the random Macy’s Stars of Dance performances that we get. Not that the Stars of Dance people aren’t talented, but I just don’t have a whole lot of context to appreciate them as much as I appreciate West Side Story. Backstage, Samantha Harris is with Lil’ Kim, Melissa Rycroft, Ty Murry and Steve-O. Lil’ Kim says that she’s going to work as hard as she can to stay at the top spot of the leaderboard, but she won’t take anything for granted. Ty isn’t too surprised that he has slipped in scores because he hasn’t been doing well, and Steve-O is very gracious to his fans. Here’s the judges’ leaderboard after last night’s performances: 1. Lil’ Kim and Derek Hough – 28 2. Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani – 27 3. Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke – 26 3. Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas – 26 5. Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough – 23 6. Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska – 22 7. Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower – 18 8. Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer – 16 (see photo above) Oh, I’m mistaken. There is apparently no dance-off tonight. It’ll be the usual business of combining the judges’ scores with the audience votes. Tom Bergeron calls Lil’ Kim and Derek, and Lawrence and Edyta down to the stage to call out the first results of the evening. I guess this is kind of a new way of announcing the results. Lil’ Kim and Derek are safe. And, so are Lawrence and Edyta! Another musical guest act. Performing the current number one country song in the nation, “Here Comes Goodbye,” that famous country trio Rascal Flatts takes the stage, accompanied by Julianne Hough and Tony Dovolani. See, this is the kind of dancing that I love to watch, with tons of huge lifts and throws. Tony is basically just throwing her around, but it looks so beautiful. Good thing she ways like 80 pounds. I also like barefoot dancing, I think. It’s not traditional, I know, but it’s so much more intimate when they are not wearing like four-inch heels. Julianne and Tony are so great! Samantha and Tom make an intro to a reel about the costume design process. Normally, the professional dancer in the partnership takes the lead in coming up with a costume idea and collaborates with the head designer, Randall Christenson. But next week, the celebrity will take the lead. I’m so excited. They are all going to look AWFUL. Ha! Lawrence tells Randall that he thinks Edyta is allergic to clothing. His mama watches the show, so he’s going to make her cover up some more. Also, Steve-O gives the green light for a cheetah-print banana hammock. That would be interesting to see, but I hope to God that we wont’ have to! Shawn wants to put Mark in a onesie, hee. She should be careful, though, because we don’t want him to get another boner. There are six more couples who are awaiting their fates. Tom calls Shawn and Mark, and Melissa and Tony down to the stage. Shawn and Mark will definitely be back next week. Melissa and Tony will also be back too. Samantha is backstage with Lil’ Kim, Derek, Edyta and Lawrence. She asks the stars about what kind of costumes they’ll be designing. Lil’ Kim says that she can put Derek in a paper bag and he’ll still be hot. Samantha asks Lawrence why on earth he would want to cover Edyta up, and he mumbles something about wanting his mama to be proud of him.The Macy’s Stars of Dance performance is a cabaret routine featuring Carmen Electra, and choreographed by original Pussycat Doll member Lindsley Allen. I’m so glad that Robin Antin isn’t anywhere near here because I’m afraid of her. She looks like a drag queen version of Skeletor. But Carmen Electra is cute in her little blue sparkly outfit. She runs up to playfully tug on Len’s tie and then table dance on the judges’ table. Rascal Flatts is back again. This time, they are singing a cover of the Beatles song, “Revolution.” They are joined by two pairs of professional dancers, Mark Ballas and Chelsie Hightower, and two more who I couldn’t identify. In the segment that wins the award for Most Useless Filler of the evening, a so-called “body language expert” gives us the rundown of how the celebrities are doing based on their facial and body tics. I’m trying not to tune out, but it’s hard, people. This whole segment is kind of like, “Let’s say some really obvious statements and pass them off as insightful fact.” OK, in no particular order, the next couple who will be coming back next week is Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke. Oops, haha. Someone is falling asleep at the controls. Samantha leads us out into the commercial, but the cameras are still rolling, making everyone look around awkwardly. Whoops! There are three couples left who still don’t know whether they will come back next week: Ty and Chelsie, Steve-O and Lacey, and Chuck and Julianne. The next couple who is safe is Chuck and Julianne. (Doh! They were my pick to be eliminated. Oh well.) The two couples remaining are not necessarily in the bottom two. And now, the final results: the couple with the lowest combined total and therefore leaving right now is Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer. Oh, sad! I really got to like Steve-O these past six weeks. Tom graciously assures Steve-O that he charmed everyone on the show. Haha! Steve-O wants to thank Lacey for her patience because he tends to “manstruate” occasionally, his word. Carrie Underwood captured the entertainer of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards, the first female act to win the honor since the Dixie Chicks did it back in 2000 and only the seventh to do so in the show’s nearly four-decade existence. “I’ve had a lot of good moments in the past four years. This one takes the cake,” the tearful former “American Idol” champ said. “Thank you God, thank you fans, thank you to ACM for nominating me in the first place. I never thought I’d be nominated and never thought I’d win. I’m shaking. I don’t know what to say.” With the win, Underwood, who also won top female vocalist, broke Kenny Chesney’s four-year win streak and denied him the chance to tie Alabama’s five years of dominance in the category. Besides Underwood, the other female acts to win included Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Barbara Mandrell, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain and the Dixie Chicks. Chesney kissed Underwood as she walked up to accept the honor. Another female dominating not only country music but the entire music industry, Taylor Swift, won album of the year for her sophomore disc “Fearless.” Both of Swift’s albums have topped the 3 million mark — a rare feat in today’s music industry. She’s connected with fans both young and old for her intensely personal songs, which she writes usually on her own or with another writer. “A lot of people who know me know if you talk to me more than 5 minutes I’m probably going to write a song about you,” Swift said, as she proceeded to thank characters in her songs such as Tim McGraw and Romeo. Other winners included Jamey Johnson, Sugarland and Julianne Hough, but the evening’s most memorable moments came via the performances. Trace Adkins performed “‘Til the Last Shot’s Fired,” a somber salute to U.S. troops, with the West Point Glee Club in honor of the servicemen and women. The performance was introduced by Lt. Andrew Kinard, who had been wounded. He told the crowd, “As you listen to this song, please consider that it’s not about the war, it’s about the warrior.” John Rich’s angry anthem “Shuttin’ Detroit Down” also stirred the crowd. “I’d like to dedicate this song tonight to all the hard-working, taxpaying Americans from coast to coast who love this country as much as I do,” Rich said to the audience while holding a guitar tagged with the sticker “Made in the U.S.A.” “We wrote this song specifically for you,” he said before launching into his searing song that feeds into taxpayer resentment about the bailouts on Wall Street. Other performances included teen sensation Miley Cyrus, dancing atop a high staircase on stage; Heidi Newfield singing “Johnny and June,” inspired by the late Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, around an appropriate ring of fire; and Underwood in a burgundy dress so overwhelming that it took up most of the stage. “Can I borrow that?” host Reba McEntire quipped afterward. Newcomer Johnson beat out veterans like George Strait and Brad Paisley in nabbing the night’s first honor, song of the year for his poignant hit about an old man looking back on his life, “In Color.” “Thanks to my band for going in on an off day and producing an off record,” Johnson quipped in a brief acceptance speech. Adkins also won single of the year for his heartfelt hit “You’re Gonna Miss This.” The deep-voiced singer said the song, about how people want to grow up and move on with life when they should slow down and enjoy the moment more, was very personal to him, but he didn’t think others would relate to it. When his label said they were going to release it as a single, he said, “Go ahead. Nobody’s going play it.” “I’m glad I’m an idiot,” Adkins cracked. “Thank you very much.” Swift had four nominations going into Sunday’s show, but got a special honor as McEntire presented her with a special ACM Crystal Milestone Award for bringing so many young people to country music. Sugarland broke Brooks & Dunn’s lock on the vocal duo award, while “Dancing with the Stars” champ Hough took the top new artist trophy during Sunday’s Academy of Country Music Awards. Strait and Brad Paisley led all nominees with six. Paisley was linked up by video from Nashville, where his wife Kimberly Williams-Paisley is expecting their second child, and accepted the trophy for male vocalist of the year from there. “I wish I could be there but I didn’t want to take the chance of missing the birth of our next child. I hope you understand,” he said. Jamie Foxx introduced Strait’s performance of “Troubadour,” and joked that the country scene was getting more diverse. “Things are changing,” Foxx said, mentioning his repeat appearance at the ACMs and Darius Rucker’s success on the country charts. “(An) African-American singing country. Things are changing. Got a black man running the country. Things are changing. … I mean what’s next, white people going to Tyler Perry movies?” The show aired live from the MGM Grand on CBS. It’s the first elimination of the season on Dancing with the Stars. For the first time in the show’s history, the bottom two will have to dance off against one another to determine who will stay and who will have to hang up their dancing shoes. Who’s it gonna be? Will Steve and Karina somehow miraculously stay on? Will fan favorites Melissa and Tony be in danger of going home? We’ll find out soon enough, and we’ll also be entertained by musical performances by Jewel and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Whatever happens, you’ll find it all right here in my live blog. Stay with me! The live results show opens with a great performance by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, with six of our professional dancers swing dancing along. I love swing! How fun! Now, it’s time for an update about Steve-O’s condition. He is backstage with Samantha Harris, and he explains that at the last minute, he decided to put in an ill-advised front flip, against Lacey’s advice. He had a different, safer move, but he wanted to do the flip. Well, he’s back, and nothing is broken, and if he survives tonight’s elimination, then he’ll be dancing next week. The judges’ scores and audience votes have all been tallied from the first two weeks of performances. So far, here are the standings in the judges’ leaderboard: 1. Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke – 51 2. Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani – 49 3. Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas – 47 4. Lil’ Kim and Derek Hough – 44 5. Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough – 40 6. Denise Richards and Maksim Chmerkovskiy – 39 7. David Alan Grier and Kym Johnson – 36 7. Holly Madison and Dmitry Chaplin – 36 7. Lawrence Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska – 36 10. Belinda Carlisle and Jonathan Roberts – 35 11. Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower – 34 12. Steve-O and Lacey Schwimmer – 31 13. Steve Wozniak and Karina Smirnoff – 30 So far, Gilles, Melissa, Shawn and Lil’ Kim seem safe, way at the top of the leaderboard, but because of the unpredictable voting nature of Dancing with the Stars, you really never know who’s going to go. Steve-O and Steve Wozniak occupy the two lowest rungs of the leaderboard, but they’ve both got some intense fans out there. Each of the couples is prepared to perform one of their first two dances in case any of them land in the bottom two for the dance off.
Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) will eliminate more than 400 jobs at its Dallas and Richardson offices as it consolidates its Legacy Asset Servicing unit, the company announced. The Charlotte-based banking giant will cut 87 jobs at its downtown Dallas office and another 324 jobs at the Richardson location for a total of 411 jobs, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice made public Monday. The layoffs are expected to occur on Sept. 30. The workers will be offered career transition resources, severance pay and benefits. Bank of America’s legacy asset servicing (LAS) unit works with homeowners who need mortgage assistance, including borrower outreach and short sales. Earlier this year, the bank announced that layoffs to this department would occur, according to the Charlotte Business Journal. The bank has cut in half the number of "delinquent mortgage customers" who need specialized programs from this department, Bank of America said in a statement. The statement goes on to say that the bank has a "strong track record for helping our employees identify opportunities both in and outside the bank." Bank of America is the largest banking operation in the Dallas-Fort Worth area based on local deposits, according to the latest Dallas Business Journal research. It has $53.59 billion in local deposits and 156 branches, according to DBJ research. Nicholas covers the energy and banking beats for the Dallas Business Journal.

By Chad Love We've all heard news stories about items being illegally tossed from highway overpasses. It's a stupid and dangerous thing to do. Usually it's something like rocks, cans or bricks that get dropped on cars below, often with tragic and deadly consequences. But a deer? Well, you just have to read the story. From this story on myfox8.com: A truck driver said a deer was tossed from an overpass along I-295 in Virginia and slammed into his big rig. According to WTVR, the accident happened around 12:30 a.m. Friday just before exit 22A on I-295, according to a Miami-based trucking company. A representative from that company told WTVR one of their truck drivers saw someone on top of the Buffin Road overpass toss a deer, with a rope tied around its neck, off the bridge. “All I know is that when I came up on the bridge it wasn’t hanging there,” the driver told WTVR Reporter Jake Burns. Looks like Wisconsin's Chippewa tribe members will not be able to hunt for deer at night for the remainder of the tribal season. A federal judge blocked that plan earlier this week. From this story on twincities.com: U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb wrote in her order that the tribes overstepped their authority when they granted tribal hunters permission to kill deer at night without the state's approval. The judge said the move violated a ruling she made more than 20 years ago that requires the Chippewa and the state to negotiate changes to tribal hunting rules and get her approval before making them final. She encouraged both sides to reach a deal. "The proper response cannot be for each side to decide on its own what the law permits, particularly with an issue that involves public safety concerns," Crabb wrote. How do you feel about the judge's decision? If you didn't think the craze for creating big bucks at any cost could get worse, or weirder, then read on.* From this story on the Dallas Morning News: An Illinois geneticist must pay $30,000 and serve three years of probation for illegally obtaining valuable semen from whitetail deer in East Texas. A federal judge in Tyler sentenced 55-year-old Raymond Favero of Braidwood, Ill. Favero in July pleaded guilty to wrongful acquisition of wildlife in interstate commerce. Texas law bars importing live whitetail deer or mule deer amid concerns about transmittable diseases. Prosecutors on Wednesday said Favero must also pay a $6,000 fine and $24,000 to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Federation. Missouri deer hunters, it's time to grab your air rifle, handgun or crossbow and head to the woods because the Show Me state's "alternative methods" deer season is now underway. From this story on ky3.com:It's called Missouri's alternative methods deer hunting season. It runs from now through Christmas Day. More hunters are hitting the woods with a historical game plan. Hunters have used black-powder muzzleloader rifles for years, but the Department of Conservation says there was an increase in people interested in hunting with handguns and crossbows. They wanted to expand opportunities to use those tools without hurting the deer population. If hunters want to be a little more traditional, they can use longbows or even a tool called an atlatl which is like a spear. Officials say hunters like the historical aspect as well as the challenge. A massive non-typical whitetail deer arrowed by an Oklahoma woman may be the largest buck ever taken by a female bowhunter in the Sooner State. From this story on newsok.com:Linet Navarro of Chandler likes to bake cakes and kill deer. On Nov. 8, Navarro killed the biggest whitetail of her life and perhaps the largest ever by a woman with a bow in Oklahoma. Her non-typical buck has a net green score of 175 2/8. A check of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's Cy Curtis records — a listing of big deer killed by Oklahoma hunters — show that larger non-typical bucks have been killed by female hunters with a gun, although it appears none have with a bow. The Wildlife Department does not distinguish between male and female hunters in the Cy Curtis record book. “Maybe they should,” Navarro said. “They could start it this year.” Spotlighting for deer may soon become legal for members of a Wisconsin Native American tribe if a federal judge rules in their favor. From this story on jsonline.com: A federal judge is scheduled to hear arguments over whether the Wisconsin Chippewa can hunt deer at night. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb two weeks ago declared the state's ban on night deer hunting extends to tribal hunters, scuttling the Chippewa's request until Wednesday's hearing. A Canadian deer hunter who vanished on Nov. 15 was finally rescued this weekend after wandering the bush for three weeks. From this story in the http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Lost+Manitoba+hunter+describes+survive... " target="_blank">Calgary Herald: A hunter who turned up after being lost in the southeast Manitoba bush for three weeks says thoughts of his family and the hundreds of people who were looking for him kept him going. "(It was) my wife and my son and the knowledge that the search and rescue community and people I don't even know were out looking," said Brad Lambert, who turned up safe and sound Saturday after spending 21 nights in his truck, stranded in the bush. "That means a great deal." There's an old reporter's adage about story sources that goes thusly, "trust, but verify." It's also a damn useful refrain for life, romance and, oh, yes, the deer woods. Especially the next time you kneel down to pat the deer you've just shot and thank it for giving its life to you, because possession of said life might not yet, in point of fact, been fully transferred... From this story on New Hampshire's unionleader.com: Everett Gray said he plans to retire from deer hunting after being gored by an eight-point buck he shot with his .257 Roberts rifle. "My brother gave me that rifle," Gray said Sunday. "I shot my first deer with it, and I just shot my last." Almost anyone not missing a chromosome or two will agree that it's just not cool to walk up to a female and utter the words "nice rack." But in this case, well, it's true... A TV hunting "personality" has pleaded guilty to illegally taking a Kansas buck in 2007. From this story on kansascity.com: A professional hunter from Tennessee pleaded guilty Tuesday to killing a deer in Kansas and illegally taking it across state lines. William Spann, 50, of Dickson, Tenn., admitted in his plea in Kansas federal court that he had violated state law in 2007 by killing the white-tail deer on land in Stafford County owned by another person, when his permit allowed him to hunt only on land that he owned.

Last month the progression of using technology dealt with PowerPoint and creating links to additional information. The idea of “progression” is to give small steps of technology at a time and build towards getting comfortable with its use. So from last month… we now have a PowerPoint Presentation, how do we present it! If you are using PowerPoint on a screen with you speaking, use NOTES PAGE. At the bottom of each slide is a small section where you can click and add speaker notes. You can also get to this section by clicking on VIEW and then select Notes Page. The audience sees only the slide, but you can print out a page with the slide on top, and your speaker notes on the bottom. I have students copy/paste information in both the slide and note section. They then modify the slide to look the way they want. The second step is to go to the Note page and re-write the original words into their own words. When they talk in front of the class, they print out the Notes Page and reduce their stage fright and increase their speaking skills!! If you are using the Internet, try Present.me There is a free and paid version. You will need a webcam, because this online program shows you on the screen talking while the slide is also on the screen! Or convert the simple presentation to a magazine using Calameo.com or Issuu.com. Turn pages while you progress through the presentation! Where could you go with this information? What would the “next step” be? Where would you branch out of these steps and do something else with you and the technophobe? Which ones have you used? I think a logical next step for some would be to use the presentation mode in PowerPoint so they can see their notes on screen while showing the slides to the audience. Another branch would be to look at good design practices for legibility, contrast and use of space. Can't wait to see what other ideas are added. Hmm. Never have used Presentation Mode on a PC. Here is a link showing how to set it up. Might be intimidating for the technophobe because it talks about multiple monitors. Is there a simpler way? I do like having the notes on screen rather than on a printout. I guess it depends upon the layout of the room and tech available. Presentation mode has been less intimidating to many teachers I help. They like seeing "notes" and upcoming slides as they present. I find it greatly reduces their fears of using PowerPoint. I once had a presentation that had to be finished by a certain point in the program. Everyone else was using a timer with a big screen and I said I did not want the timer seen. They ran the timer in the background and were ready to turn it around at 5 seconds to go when I finished. EVERYONE came up to me and wanted to know how I could know exactly how much time I had used and then wanted me to share how to use Presentation mode. Good point. Also, a wonderful way to show anyone, those comfortable and uncomfortable with technology, is to do something different when presenting information. This gives them the opportunity to ask after seeing how seamless it worked! I would recommend viewing some TED Talks. The speakers often use PowerPoint presentations. In what ways did the speakers use PowerPoint to complement what they were saying to their audience? Richard St. John's 8 secrets of success | Video on TED.com Nina Jablonski breaks the illusion of skin color | Video on TED.com Not a TED Talk, but examples of what NOT to do: The World's Worst PowerPoint Presentations | PCWorld The technophobe can see that simple slides can be very effective and that one does not need to be a technical expert to use PowerPoint effectively. Great examples showing exactly what you said....simple slides! With the simple slides, having speaker notes is then important. Do you prefer the Presentation Mode or paper hard copy of Notes pages? Presentation mode. I don't like having papers around; I invariably misplace them. i do, sometimes, still use my paper notes. for me, it's always a combination of approaches. i have used, what is maybe presentation mode, on my Mac; though, honestly, it's just what comes up, when i show a presentation (i think)...ANYway, i LOVE it! however, i have found it is difficult for me to even stick to the times i have noted on the screen. this past summer, i typed up a schedule of times that i wanted to have completed particular parts of a presentation i was presenting for another department. this helped me immensely, as i could glance at the time list only and realize how far off track (or on) i was, when it came to time... of course, when it's someone else's presentation or content, it can be tougher to gauge time. i feel that when it's my own creation--that can sometimes help me know where i want to be w/i process or by the end more intuitively or naturally. Lisa, The Mac shows PowerPoint presentations using presentation mode. This option must be selected when presenting from a Windows computer. Like you, I often find my "planned times" do not accurately match reality. I appreciate your comment about using these times to show how far "off track" the presentation is. I also find presentations easier to do if I've created them myself.

Last week during a speech about the job market, President Barack Obama talked about something that’s missing from our nation’s efforts to remain competitive in the global economy: engineers. He’s come up with a plan to create 10,000 engineers annually through a private-public partnership in which corporations would strengthen their internship programs and the government would help stabilize collegiate engineering programs while offering students the financial assistance needed to finish their degrees. It’s definitely a well-intentioned idea, but Obama has his sights on the wrong target. He’s aiming a little too high. College students shouldn’t be the greatest concern. All of the incentives in the world won’t turn out engineers if high school students first aren’t interested in the subject. When was the last time you heard a teenager say he or she wanted to be an engineer or scientist? Kids may say they do at a younger age (like 8 or 9) but as they age, science and math (the building blocks of engineering) don’t remain sexy to them. If a kid doesn’t have the slightest interest in this difficult yet rewarding path of study by the end of the 10th grade, there’s really no way to get him or her hooked on it, let alone prepared for what college holds. In order to produce engineers we really have to get the kids started at a young age on mastering — even loving — science and math. As a country we do a very poor job of that. Depending on what study you read, American students typically rank in the low-to-mid 20s globally in those subjects. That’s why our influence is decreasing around the world: We aren’t making engineers, products and strides because we aren’t making science and math interesting and worthwhile.

GOSHEN — Leading the Elkhart County 4-H Fair Parade this year are a couple of people whose behind-the-scenes jobs keep the fair safe and moving. Phil and Sharon Wogoman have spent the past 25 years on the fair board. Phil, the 1999 fair president, is the emergency management/safety director. Sharon is the gate admissions director. Both are big jobs that are vital to the fair. The two were surprised to be tapped for parade marshal by Fair Board President Tim Graber. “I don’t feel I’m the kind of guy to be parade marshal,” Phil said. Prior to the opening of the fair, Phil checks out all of the rides to make sure they are safe. Phil is no mere paperwork guy either — he goes on the rides, too. His favorite: the Yo-Yo. “I don’t do spinny rides for anybody,” Phil said. “Even the little brown bears (ride) — I can’t do that.” Phil is also responsible for the safety of fair attendees by keeping an eye on the weather. “Weather is my focus 24/7,” he said. Weather forecasting starts on the Wednesday prior to the fair and goes through the last Sunday of the fair. He uses a private weather service to keep him constantly updated. Phil keeps attuned to the strength of winds, lightning and severe weather. During concerts, Phil can be found near the stage so he can tell performers if it’s going to storm. “I have had to shut down the fair,” Phil said. “One year I completely shut the fair down twice.” He said it seems like the grandstands get evacuated at least once during each fair. “People don’t realize how quick (a storm) moves,” he said. “I would rather be proactive than reactive.” When severe weather does move in, Phil contacts Sharon to have her communicate the situation to people in the booths and at the gates. “We have one of the best emergency plans in the state,” Phil said, adding that the plans have been practiced, changed and perfected. ‘I don’t think there’s anything else we can do.” Sharon also has her area down to a science. She makes sure people have entrance tickets and parking passes. She starts her day early stocking the gates with tickets and stamps and doesn’t finish until after 11 p.m. Sharon’s job keeps her running constantly throughout the day. That’s why she doesn’t eat any carbs or sugar during the fair — “to keep my energy up,” she said. “I do allow myself a pretzel Saturday night.” The rest of the time its salads and steak tips. Her duties also include keeping track of ticket sales, comparing them from one day to the next. Because of their long hours, she and Phil take the week off of work and camp out at the fair. Their businesses, Middlebury Electric Inc. and Eagle Ready-Mix Inc., are well-taken care of while they are away. One thing Sharon hopes she won’t be too busy for is the Vince Gill concert. Usually, Sharon can’t attend the concerts because of her gate director duties. However, her 91-year-old mom would really like to see Vince Gill. “So I hope to work it out,” she said. Phil said he is just looking forward to a nice, safe fair with moderate weather — and some Kiwanis food.

Only occasionally are the angels given names. "Michael", for instance, was "the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people (Israel)" (Daniel 12:1). Undoubtedly, among the most significant of angelic appearances were those by the angel whose name was "Gabriel". He was sent twice to the prophet Daniel. On the second occasion Daniel was at prayer, and Gabriel, "being caused to fly swiftly, touched me ... and talked with me" and proceeded to prophesy the date of the first coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ (Daniel 9:21-27). There was therefore great expectation among the Jews at the time when Jesus Christ was about to be born, and this was heightened by the personal appearance of Gabriel again, firstly to Zacharias the priest while on duty in the temple, and then to Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph. To Zacharias, the angel announced. "I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God: and am sent to speak unto thee" (Luke 1:19). We notice that angels can stand in the glorious presence of the LORD. whereas men cannot. and angels are sent to do whatever God wishes. His mission here was to announce the miraculous birth of John the Baptist. Six months later, Gabriel appeared to Mary, who was in the royal line of King David. Her prayer, said the angel, had found favour with God, and she would be the mother of the expected Messiah. Gabriel told her that she would conceive through the power of the Holy Spirit and her son would be Jesus, the Saviour, and he would be the Son of God and would occupy the royal throne of David (Luke 1:26-33). It was an extraordinary meeting because Mary was not yet married. Nothing is impossible with God! Joseph, her husband-to-be, also received angelic messages advising him what steps to take in this unique situation. When Jesus came to be born in Bethlehem, the birth was the signal for a glorious witness of divine approval, seen by shepherds: "An angel of the Lord (could this have been Gabriel?) appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear ...

SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah's Disabled Rights Action Committee is asking a judge to order Wells Fargo Bank to alter night depository boxes at its branches because the locations violate federal disability access laws. DRAC filed its lawsuit in Salt Lake City's U.S. District Court this week, the same day the U.S. Justice Department announced a $16 million settlement with the bank for other Americans With Disabilities Act violations. Papers filed in the Utah case say a DRAC member was unable to use a night depository at a Farmington bank in April because the box was located above a concrete curb and was inaccessible by wheelchair. The group's lawsuit contends the ADA provides specific access guidelines for night depositories. A message for the Bountiful bank's branch manager was not immediately returned Thursday.

At the risk of mixing one's classic-comedy metaphors ... While watching the ladies of The Mary Tyler Moore Show reunite for a chipper if undeniably poignant exercise in meta nostalgia on TV Land's Hot in Cleveland (Wednesday, 10/9c), you might find yourself wistfully recalling the old Carol Burnett Show theme: "I'm so glad we had this time together." This is especially true for the iconic buddy duo of Mary and Rhoda, with Mary Tyler Moore appearing even more frail than Valerie Harper, whose inspiring public battle with brain cancer pretty much defines the quality once attributed to Mary Richards: "spunk." The untitled Jim Gaffigan comedy pilot that failed to get picked up will be redeveloped by CBS, TVGuide.com has confirmed. Add new fall shows to your Watchlist The single camera comedy will star Gaffigan as a happily married New York City father of five, just as he is in real life. Peter Tolan remains as writer and executive producer along with Gaffigan, while Michael Wimer and Alex Murray will also executive-produce. The project, from Sony Pictures Television, is being developed in 2013-14 to air possibly in the 2014-15 season. The broadcast networks are desperate for your attention. They know that you're overwhelmed with their programming and distracted by cable, the Internet and now even streaming services. Plus, they didn't produce a new major hit this season, and their ratings are suffering for it. That's why this year's crop of nearly 100 series pilots at the five networks (48 comedy and 50 drama from the five networks) is all about being big: big stars, big producers, big concepts.

Zach Galifianakis, Keir Gilchrist, Lauren Graham and Emma Roberts star in this uplifting comedy about finding sanity in the most unlikely of places. Sometimes what's in your head isn't as crazy as you think…that's certainly true for Craig (Gilchrist), a stressed-out teenager who checks himself into a mental health clinic for some time out. What he finds instead is an unlikely mentor (Galifianakis), a potential new romance (Roberts) and an opportunity to begin anew. Charming, witty and smart, it's a coming-of-age story that's kind of a funny story… Erin's (Drew Barrymore) wry wit and unfiltered frankness charm newly single Garrett (Justin Long) over beer, bar trivia and breakfast the next morning. Their chemistry sparks a full-fledged summer fling, but neither expects it to last once Erin heads home to San Francisco and Garrett stays behind for his job in New York City. But when six weeks of romping through the city inadvertently become meaningful, neither is sure they want it to end. And while Garrett's friends, Box (Jason Sudeikis) and Dan (Charlie Day), joke about his pre-flight calorie-cutting and his full-time relationship with his cell phone, they don't like losing their best drinking buddy to yet another rocky romance. At the same time, Erin's high-strung, overprotective married sister, Corrine (Christina Applegate), wants to keep Erin from heading down an all-too-familiar road. But despite the opposite coasts, the nay-saying friends and family, and a few unexpected temptations, the couple just might go the distance.

New Research Closes In On Stand-Off Bomb Detection The ability to detect explosives from a distance is vital. The ability to detect explosives from a distance is vital to protecting against terrorist threats. But, what remains elusive is a reliable stand-off method for detecting explosives - a technology that allows airport screeners or first responders, such as police and fire, to keep a safe distance until they know what they're dealing with. According to the Technical Support Working Group (the U.S. national forum that identifies, prioritizes and coordinates research and development requirements for combating terrorism), current stand-off techniques are limited in both stand-off distance and type of explosives that can be detected. Several new stand-off technologies are emerging to close this gap, and academia is developing better stand-off explosive detection. Safe to fly? The problem is there are indications that airport security hasn't changed that much for the better in the years since the [[phy_address]] bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which led to an extensive re-examination of procedures in place for airline security. The issue was again examined after September 11, 2001. Still, there is evidence that airport security is as much a myth now as it was prior to the attacks. NBC News reported in March 2006 that federal investigators were able to slip enough explosive material past airport Transportation Security Association (TSA) screeners to blow a car trunk apart. It may have been merely a handful of components, but imagine what an IED (improvised explosive device) could do to a jetliner in flight. Done at the request of Congress, investigators for the Government Accountability Office conducted the tests between October 2005 and January 2006. The goal was to determine just how safe U.S. airlines are from suicide bombers using cheap, readily available materials - the same as those used to build IEDs. The test was to see if investigators could smuggle IED components through TSA checkpoints for assembly once in the airport sterile area. It is believed an IED explosion in flight would likely destroy the aircraft. The other bad news is the test didn't expose just one isolated incident of lax TSA security protocol at a single checkpoint. According to NBC, the test was run at 21 domestic airports and every one of them failed to discover the smuggled IED components. In no instance was a machine, swab or human screener able to detect the breach. Bomb parts weren't discovered even after investigators deliberately triggered extra screening of the bags. Twenty-one failures out of 21 tests does not inspire confidence in TSA's ability to protect the flying public. It's painfully obvious that TSA needs remedial help. A few good detectors One technology is under development at Kansas State University (KSU), where a professor of mechanical and nuclear engineering has been recruited by the U.S. Marine Corps to develop a way to improve bomb detection without having to get in close proximity to suspicious containers such as cars, backpacks or briefcases that may conceal explosives. The military needs better, more reliable means of detecting the deadly IEDs they must deal with in the Iraq conflict. Such a technology would ultimately be of interest to civilian law enforcement bomb squads and first responders as well. "The Marine Corps needs what they call 'stand-off' bomb detection," says principal investigator Bill Dunn, KSU associate professor. "We're trying to give them a way to detect explosives remotely, so that people and things, that may be damaged if an explosive device is detonated, are far enough away that they are not injured or can survive the blast." The KSU device uses pulses of both gamma and neutron radiation that penetrate into the target. The return signal, to a large extent, is determined by what is inside. "Different chemical elements emit radiation of different characteristic energies," Dunn explains. "We're trying to detect what comes back from the target and see if it looks like what you would see in an explosive."

EDMONTON - It’s a sunny winter Saturday and the Beacon Heights community rink is packed. While parents strap helmets onto their little ones and send them wobbling down the ice, the older kids call dibs to be on team Eberle or team Hall for a game of shinny hockey. But today, the Edmonton Oilers players themselves laced up their skates right beside them. Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle stepped out on the ice Saturday with local kids — many sporting Oilers jerseys with Hall’s No. 4 or Eberle’s No. 14 — to open the new Beacon Heights community rink. The upgraded rink was funded by a joint grant from the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and the Hockey Canada Foundation. The $460,000 the organizations contributed will also go to a new rink in Beverly Heights, set to begin construction in 2015. The rink, built in 1961, was in need of an update. Beacon Heights community league president Mark Stephenson said he jumped at the chance to renew it when he heard about the funding. “I got a phone call in the middle of June about the new rink and I said, ‘You tell me where to sign,’ ” he said. “Normally we just go out and band-aid things together to stay operational every year, and we don’t have that problem anymore.” Beverly Cooper, whose 11-year-old son Joseph skates and plays hockey on the rink, said it’s a big step up from the old neighbourhood facility. Volunteers tore down its old wooden boards last September. “The boards were falling apart, and we had to duct tape everything and try to piece it back together,” she said. “To get it up and running to a newer standard was great, because it was quite old and falling apart.” The new rink has officially been in working order since lights were installed at the beginning of February. Stephenson said it’s a relief for the community’s young hockey players, who have been sharing ice time on the community centre’s family rink while construction was completed. The community league also has plans to upgrade the playground equipment and fix the centre’s leaky roof. It’s all part of a plan to revitalize the northside community. “(Beacon Heights) is a mature neighbourhood but we have a lot of families that live here now,” Stephenson said. “People are moving in and renovating their houses, so things like this only help to make that process quicker.” And for the NHL players, the rink was a familiar throwback to a time before the NHL. “In Canada, this is where hockey players are bred,” Hall said.
Q. Our self-managed condominium of 18 units has a reserve fund of $55,000 and a number of projects that need to be done. The condominium board mandates a special assessment for each of the projects. Most condominium owners want to do the projects that seem to be needed to make the property more attractive to potential buyers. We are concerned that lower reserves and a list of special assessments place our property at a disadvantage to other properties in the condo market. What do you think is best, a large reserve fund with few special assessments or a low reserve fund with annual special assessments? A. A large reserve fund with few special assessments is the far better approach for your association. The Illinois Condominium Property Act mandates that associations maintain reasonable reserves. The amount of your reserve fund must be disclosed to potential purchasers under Section 22.[[phy_address]] A low reserve fund and a significant list of future capital expenditures on this disclosure statement indicates that a prospective buyer will face assessment increases or special assessments in the near future. A series of special assessments simply indicates the board is not following proper budget procedures. Your board is not adopting a special assessment as that term is defined in Section 18(a)(8) of the Condominium Act. Special assessments arise from expenses during the year that were not anticipated in the budget or represent an increase in assessments from the approved budget. Yearly special assessments indicate the board is disguising the failure of the directors to properly fund reserves. Your self-managed board needs some professional assistance on proper financial planning and compliance with the Condominium Act. Q. We have a management company that has asked us to fill out a disclosure form to list our insurance policy and gives management permission to verify that unit owners have insurance. The form also asks the owners to permit the management company to verify our homeowners insurance at any time, that we agree to abide by the rules and regulations of the association and understand that fines may be charged to our account. Can the board and management ask for our insurance policy and can they verify it at any time? Can they ask our tenants to sign statements verifying their insurance in compliance with the rules and regulations? A. If the board of directors has adopted a rule requiring owners to carry personal liability insurance, the directors can verify this coverage. If the rules require tenants to obtain insurance, the board may also verify this information. Although Section 18(n) of the Illinois Condominium Property Act states that all leases are subject to the provisions of the declaration and rules, the board and management can ask owners and tenants to reaffirm their agreement to comply with association regulations. These disclosure questions repeat the provisions of the association declaration and bylaws and the rules. Since many owners and tenants neglect to read those documents, some repetition may be necessary to remind residents of their legal obligations. Q. We are a newly elected board of directors working with the old approved budget. We have been told that we cannot change the budget. This statement does not make sense. How can we amend the budget? A. A newly elected board can always revise the budget of an association upon 30 days' written notice to the unit owners. The board of directors will formally amend the budget at an open meeting but as required by Section 18(a) (6) of the Condominium Act, the board must submit the proposed new budget to the owners 30 days in advance of the meeting to adopt it.
The only way around this pattern for me is to have unexpected dinner parties. It probably sounds insanely stressful, but I love to play Iron Chef with the random (and when I say random, I mean a tin-of-ostrich-pate random) ingredients in my cupboards. There's always enough on hand to pull something together. And once that's done, and my friends arrive, I feel "off the hook" for not having a perfectly put together home and I'm finally able to enjoy myself. So please, by all means, shoot me a text when you're five minutes away and invite yourself over for happy hour. We had one of these nights on Friday. We had planned on meeting some friends out before heading to Crystal Bridges Art Infusion event (which was a fantastic event, by the way). But, with different arrival times and the steep price of the restaurants on the square, Husband suggested inviting everyone to our house before the event. I initially panicked, but we pulled together a great little happy hour with some wine, a cheese board, and a couple of dips. One of those dips was the creamy pesto-marinara that I used in a sauce in today's leftover meal recipe. This is not a recipe that I even planned on sharing. It's a leftover concoction that I put together out of sheer laziness the desire not to waste anything. We (the royal we; Husband does the grilling around here) grilled a pork tenderloin earlier in the week and needed to do something with the delicious, flavorful remaining third or so of the meat. I think you could use pretty much any leftover meat in this dish - chicken, steak, pork, shrimp, whatever, or you could always omit. The flavor doesn't come from the meat so much as it does from the delicious asparagus and the creamy pesto-marinara sauce. I'm calling it a "sauce" in the recipe to make it sound like a more normal meal. It's really leftover dip and is fantastic when you have no time at all and want to make something indulgent to spread on crackers. Balsamic quinoa with sautéed asparagus and a creamy pesto-marinara sauce For the quinoa, you will need: - 2 cups water and 1 low-sodium chicken bouillon cube, or 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth - 1 cup quinoa, rinsed - 1 tsp. olive oil - 1 tsp. fresh parsley, chopped Quinoa method: - Heat 2 cups of water with 1 chicken bouillon cube and the rinsed quinoa to boil. - Cover, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 15-20 minutes. - When quinoa is cooked, remove from heat and let rest for five additional minutes. - Stir in 1 tsp. olive oil and 1 tsp. fresh parsley For the saute, you will need: - 1-2 tbsp. olive oil - 1/2 tsp. minced fresh garlic - 6-8 fresh asparagus stalks, trimmed - 1 - 2 cups leftover meat, any kind - 1 tbsp. lemon juice - 1 tsp. Italian spice blend (or a mix of dried basil, oregano, marjoram, rosemary, red pepper flakes, and thyme) - 8 cherry or cherub tomatoes (any mini tomato) - 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar Saute method: - Heat olive oil and garlic in a large skillet on medium-high heat for three minutes. - Add in asparagus and lemon juice. Cook for five minutes, then stir in leftover meat and spice blend. Cook for an additional five minutes, stirring occasionally. - Add tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and cook, stirring carefully (you don't want them to burst) for five more minutes. - Serve hot on top of quinoa, topped with creamy pesto-marinara sauce. For the creamy pesto-marinara sauce, you will need: - 1 8 ounce package of cream cheese - 1 cup grated mozzarella - 2 cups marinara sauce - 1 cup pesto - 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped - 1 tsp. dried parsley - 1/2 tsp. each sea salt and black pepper - Dash red pepper flakes, optional - Preheat the oven to 350. - Stir all ingredients together in a bowl. Transfer to a 9x9 oven-safe cooking dish. - Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheeses are bubbling. - Remove from heat and let cool for a couple of minutes. Stir mixture to evenly distribute as needed. - Serve hot, as a dip with pita chips or baguette. - Reserve 1/4 cup or so to stir into the veggie saute, if desired.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court decision to uphold Indiana’s Voter ID law marks the latest in a series of high-profile setbacks for the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana, but observers say the trend speaks mostly to the conservative bent of the federal judiciary. Monday’s 6-[[phy_address]] said states can require voters to produce photo identification came on the heels of failed ACLU-Indiana challenges this month of Indiana’s “In God We Trust” license plates and of a Bureau of Motor Vehicles policy to revoke driver’s licenses if information doesn’t match Social Security records. It also followed a 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling last October tossing an ACLU-brought lawsuit challenging sectarian prayers in the Indiana House of Representatives because a group of taxpayers who sued over the practice did not have legal standing to do so. Whether one supports the mission of the ACLU or opposes it, experts said, the losing streak underscores the conservative shift of the federal courts, especially since the confirmations of Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito more than two years ago. “There is a losing streak of sorts in some of these high-profile cases,” said Daniel Conkle, a First Amendment and constitutional law expert at Indiana University School of Law-Bloomington. However, that doesn’t diminish the ACLU’s role, he said. “A group like the ACLU plays an important function in society in bringing cases that might be controversial.” Ken Falk, the ACLU-Indiana’s legal director, rejected the notion that he was on a losing streak. He noted he and his two colleagues at the ACLU-Indiana win many cases that go unnoticed by the media.

By ,13-May-2012 17:33:00 What is Yoga? Yoga is the spiritual science that is concerned with one’s quest for realizing one’s true nature. We are all essentially divine, perfect and infinite. We are embodied souls or Self ‘Atman’. The Atman is eternal, pure and perfect. However, when it is embodied in a human form with a body, mind and senses, the person is unaware of his true nature. One looks for happiness in worldly objects, desires and pleasures. We become bound by the effects of our selfish actions, for every action there is an equal reaction. Yoga helps us to throw off our ignorance and helps us to realize our true nature, the eternal Self. With this realization we attain liberation from sorrows and sufferings and from the effects of Karma (past actions). Therefore, Yoga is a means for Self-realization & Liberation. The Sanskrit word ‘Yoga’ means ‘to join or unite’. What exactly is being joined together? Our embodied souls are united with our Supreme Selves. To summarize, Yoga refers to that enormous body of spiritual values, attitudes, precepts and techniques, that have evolved in India over thousands of years, which purify the mind and heart and enable a person to realize their true nature, or the ‘divinity within’. The great sage Patanjali of ancient India defines yoga in the Yoga Sutras as, ‘…the stoppage of the modifications of the mind’. These modifications can be restrained by the persistent practice of yoga and dispassion, then the mind becomes pure and focussed on the higher Self. In the Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna says, ‘…Evenness of mind is called Yoga.’ Meaning a balanced state of mind and looking dispassionately at life without being upset by its ups & downs. Yoga is not a religion. Yoga is connection with the truth, not a religion. Although you could say that every religion in its essence is a kind of Yoga in so far as it helps people to realize God. Religions are different paths to the same goal. Unfortunately not everyone understands this and some people become fanatics and persecute those of different religions, building barriers and creating divisions in the name of God. On the contrary, yoga stands for spiritual oneness of all beings and it is a universal spiritual pursuit beyond all religions. Everyone can practice Yoga, whatever their faith. Yoga dispels ignorance, develops universal outlook and love in the mind and causes practitioners to see unity in the midst of diversity. Web feed Yoga tips for dealing with todays stressful world.

Winding Down - Day 10 of Camp I think the most important development of the past few days is this - coaches are ratcheting up the competition and making sure guys understand that they need to earn their spots. I really think that is a big reason there has been so much "movement" in the two deep over the past few days - there are few guys who coaches are trying to light a fire under and know they need to get their attention quickly. I do think that the competition is ongoing for certain spots but I have a hard time believing it is as wide open as it appears. This staff is very big on sending messages as well as pushing and prodding guys to get better and pay attention to the details every day. "There is not a position on the field right now where there isn't competition," Graham said. So with that in mind, let's look at some spots that have had a little bit of movement... ** Right guard Cory King has been shaky, according to the coaches, but had been the best option so he played mostly with the first team throughout camp. But it is clear that his spot is in jeopardy -- or at least coaches want him to step up - as he has been playing with the second team the past few days. Again, that isn't to say he has been officially demoted - but it is to say that they are at least nervous about that spot and are looking for ways to shore it up. So far it looks like the answer has been Lucas Nix moving from right tackle to right guard and Greg Gaskins moving in and playing right tackle or Lucas Nix moving to right guard, Jordan Gibbs moving to right tackle and Jauntez Hollins moving to left tackle. Hollins, according to Graham, has made a real move forward in recent days and is pushing to be a starter at either guard or tackle. They like his size and athleticism and he is apparently moving faster and better now. So at the risk of feeling the wrath of East Lansing, Todd Graham said it is likely to be one of these three scenarios - (left to right) -- Gibbs-Jacobson-Turnley-King-Nix Gibbs-Jacobson-Turnley-Nix-Gaskins or Hollins-Jacobson-Turnley-Nix-Gibbs. Now all of that assumes one thing -- Turnley proves in these last three practices of camp (over two days) that he can be consistent enough with the snap of the ball to be the center. So far, he's been very inconsistent -- it is clear coaches are rooting for him, almost begging him to take the job and the reason is - there just aren't many legitimate options among offensive linemen. Graham said if you throw in Hollins and Gaskins and King, there are probably seven guys -- maybe eight with Matt Rotheram, but he hasn't really stepped up enough to earn the complete faith of the coaches -- who are really ready to play. So the pickings are kind of slim right now and if Turnley doesn't get better, it would mean Jacobson would have to move to center and if that's the case, well, these are some scenarios that Graham has laid out over the past few days.... Gibbs-Nix-Jacobson-King-Gaskins Gibbs-Hollins-Jacobson-Nix-Gaskins Hollins-Nix-Jacobson-King-Gibbs Again, my guess is that coaches really want Turnley and King to step up in this scrimmage on Saturday and prove they are clearly the best fourth and fifth linemen on the roster. Graham said the depth chart will pretty much be set by Monday, so we will know how King and Turnley performed Saturday in the scrimmage based on where they end up on the depth chart. *** A scary moment at practice happened when wide receiver Darius Patton collapsed at practice and was taken to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital. He has since been admitted to the hospital and will be monitored overnight. Pitt's athletic department spokesman EJ Borghetti had some computer issues today but managed to type of this statement on behalf of the university about Patton's condition "During Pitt’s afternoon practice session, freshman receiver Darius Patton passed out while participating in a non-contact exercise. He was subsequently transported to UPMC Presbyterian, where he was awake, alert and had strong vital signs. Darius will be kept overnight for observation but all initial indications are positive." Todd Graham didn't have much other information after practice about it but it sounds like, thankfully, Patton will be fine and maybe just the heat got to him or something like. *** One other injury note - Graham said safety Jason Hendricks has been hobbled by a turf toe. *** Keeping with the "keping the heat on players" theme, I think Graham added some clarity to the back-up quarterback derby between Trey Anderson and Mark Myers today. I asked him if Anderson was indeed the backup now and he said basically that the matter will be decided on Saturday at the scrimmage. Then he talked about how competition has been good for Myers and that he had "his best practice of camp" the day AFTER Anderson moved firmly into that second spot. "I think we have to get through Saturday before that, because Mark’s doing a lot of good things, too. The reason we’re talking so much about Trey is that he’s new and he’s been a pleasant surprise to be as mature as he is as an 18-year-old walk-on freshman. I would tell you that he is, no doubt, competing to be the number-two quarterback.” Graham said that Anderson's edge, beyond his talent, is that he has played in the same offense in high school and really understands it and understands where everyone needs to be in most formations. Again, my sense in talking to Graham today is that Myers will ultimately be the guy they view as the back-up provided he does well in the scrimmage because he is a little more of a veteran (a relative term, I know) and because he is a bit more physically gifted. But I will say this - this staff is much different than previous staffs in that they really believe that the best players need to be on the field, regardless of what class they are in or what they did last year. *** The linebacker spot is another place where it seems that a message is being sent - though the two guys currently playing at the top of the depth chart at their positions have been impressive. The first is at spur linebacker where, unless I am reading things wrong, Todd Thomas has moved ahead of Greg Williams and the other is at inside linebacker where Shane Gordon has seemingly moved ahead of Tristan Roberts. Gordon has been consistently running with the first team and is a guy who clearly fits the profile of the kind of speedy athletic player this coaching staff wants on the field. Roberts is experienced and the coaching staff would like to see more from him out there and more consistency, which seems to be a recurring theme over the past few years. The interesting case is Greg Williams, as coaches raved about him during the spring (even though he wasn't playing) and summer but have clearly needed to see him play up to a level that his athleticism and experience would seem to dictate. Again, nobody is allowed to feel comfortable and competition for jobs is at an all-time high - and that is a good thing. *** And hey, because former players stopping by Pitt is stop the presses kind of news according to certain self-appointed geniuses around this blog, LeSean McCoy, Dion Lewis and Mike McGlynn stopped by and, gasp, talked to the team!!! All three are members of the Eagles, who were in town to play the Steelers. And hey, while we are at it - Mark Ponko and Kody Miller were at practice today, too!!!Heck tomorrow - every football alum is invited to watch the evening practice but we'll try to get all of their names in the blog since former players visiting practice is such a rare and newsworthy event!

A Retina Display for the next iPad is a long-standing rumor that’s been on everybody’s wishlist since the iPhone 4 was released and it looks like it’s going to happen with the iPad 3. The folks over at MacRumors managed to get their hands on a high-resolution display which was said to be for the iPad 3, and they did some investigation of their own. The display is 9.7″ wide diagonally – the same size as the previous generation displays but under a microscope, things are a little different. When the displays were placed under a microscope, the iPad 3′s display features pixels that seem to be one-quarter the size of those on the iPad 2. Since they had no method to power the display, this was the only test they could do, and with those findings, they extrapolated the resolution of the iPad 3 – which happens to be twice the resolution (and four times the pixels) of the iPad/iPad 2 in each direction: 2048 x 1536. Sure, it’s not the same 326 PPI of the iPhone 4, but we’re pretty sure it’s dense enough to be considered “Retina Display” since tablets tend to be viewed further away compared to phones. The iPad 3 is rumored to be launched on March 7th, so it’s only a few more weeks of waiting. Stay tuned and we’ll keep you posted.

Ubuntu's longstanding policy of not pulling in new major versions of packages into their stable repositories is facing a slight change. Canonical along with the Ubuntu development community have been making it easier to deploy Mozilla Firefox web-browser updates into existing Ubuntu releases. Rather than dealing with back-porting security changes to previous branches of Firefox, new versions of Firefox will simply be pulled, which will provide the security fixes along with all of the new features too. This change has been in the works for a number of months and with the Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid" version of Firefox it's much easier to handle the transition to future versions of Firefox. This Firefox upgrade model is also similar to how Google's Chrome / Chromium will end up working too. All of the details about this new Firefox support model within Ubuntu can be found on the Ubuntu Wiki . There is also a new message on the Ubuntu development list in regards to these latest efforts. Next week upon the release of Firefox 3.6.4, this new version will be pushed back into the Lucid, Karmic, Jaunty, Hardy releases of Ubuntu to replace their existing versions, which in the case of the older releases are Firefox 3.0. Right now the development community is looking for people on these older releases (or running them within a VM) to test out their packages of these new Firefox binaries. 20 Comments News Archives Recent Ubuntu News New Features Coming To Xubuntu 14.04 LTS Ubuntu 14.10 Convergence To Focus On Replacing Core Apps Ubuntu Phone Demoed On The Meizu MX3 Unity 7 X11 Running Together With Unity 8 Mir Upgrading The Linux Kernel, Mesa/X.Org Packages On Ubuntu 14.04 A Look At The Ubuntu 14.04 Kernel Configuration Canonical Is Shutting Down Ubuntu One The Special Intel Broadwell Driver In Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Popular News The GNOME Foundation Is Running Short On Money Linux Kernel Developers Fed Up With Ridiculous Bugs In Systemd Torvalds Is Unconvinced By LTO'ing A Linux Kernel The Linux 3.[[phy_address]] A Lot Of Great Features Systemd Is Working Towards Its Own Super Fast DHCP Server, Client Kernel Developers Look At QR Codes For Error Messages Linux 3.15 Can Resume From Suspend 7~12x Faster Linux 3.[[phy_address]] Be Compiled Under LLVM's Clang Latest Linux Hardware Reviews Overclocking The AMD AM1 Athlon & Sempron APUs AMD Athlon 5350 / 5150 & Sempron 3850 / 2650 Upgraded Kernel & Mesa Yield A Big Boost For Athlon R3 Graphics AMD Athlon [[phy_address]] Linux Articles A Quick Look At GCC 4.9 vs. LLVM Clang 3.5 Are AMD Athlon/Sempron APUs Fast Enough For Steam On Linux?

I've always used SanDisk and always have good experiences with their products. It keeps all your info safe and secure so you never have to worry about losing those moments. 0 Comments Super comfortable and affordable. The fit is great, they have a great field of vision and they look great. Not to mention the build is wonderful. [[phy_address]] year was a Green Sol-x and Sensor Mirror. Seemed to cover all my bases pretty well but every ones eyes are different. I have the black I/O with the Rose Copper Polarized lens and the goggle is great. The lens change is easy and quick. The vision you have in the goggle is like no other and they look sick. What more could you ask for? 0 Comments After procrastinating about buying a face mask, I finally did and I couldn't be happier. This mask is comfortable and warm. My only nit-pick would be that if you take a lot of snow to the face, the mask starts to freeze up on the outside but the fleece liner still keeps your face warm so it's not that big of a deal. 2 Comments These bindings are killer. Super comfortable, strong, and at home everywhere. I haven't found one thing I don't like about these. 0 Comments This boot is super comfortable and has a great flex feel for everything. The fast track system works great but the annoying thing is figuring out where to put your pull handles when your done with them. The best I have found is to stuff them in your boot between the liner and tongue. Other than that small factor, I couldn't be happier with them. 1 Comments Those are about my specs except 10 pounds lighter. You would want a normal width board with your boot size. You would probably want either a 152 or a 154 since your in the park. I demoed (and am getting) a 154 and it felt great for everything from powder to park. This stick is killer. I've been demoing this board for the past few days and have a chance to ride it in almost every condition. Digs in on hard pack and floats through the powder. I haven't found one spot where this board doesn't feel great. Needless to say, I have a 154 on order and I couldn't be more stoked. 0 Comments This helmet is awesome. The dual-control of the vents allows you to control your airflow. You can easy throw some ear buds in the ear flaps of the helmet. The helmet is very light and very comfortable.
April [[phy_address]] news: Partly Cloudy max temp: 13°C min temp: 9°C Monday, November 19, 2012 12:05 PM Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker is hoping to build on the 5-2 win over Tottenham when they face Montpellier in the Champions League on Wednesday. Last season’s win over Spurs by the same scoreline kickstarted the Gunners’ season and the hope in the camp is this season’s triumph will have the same effect. “It was much later in the season [last time], so we have to keep on going with the Champions League [against Montpellier],” he said. “We have a lot of things to do but it’s very good for the team that we can stick together and cope with different moments. That is a good thing for the whole team and hopefully it will force us to the next level.” Liverpool skipper uses that same old Sam Allardyce narrative against West Ham.

Examples - By a treaty of August 18, 1866, all the North German States which had survived entered into a treaty with one another and with Prussia; they mutually guaranteed each other's possessions, engaged to place their forces under the command of the King of Prussia, and promised to enter into a new federation; for this purpose they were to send envoys to Berlin who should agree on a Constitution, and they were to allow elections to take place by universal suffrage for a North German Parliament before which was to be laid the draft Constitution agreed upon by the envoys of the States. - Fitz-Simons voted against universal suffrage and in favour of limiting it to free-holders. The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 6: Fathers of the Church-Gregory XI - The great moral of this reign will be to prove that universal suffrage is as senseless as the divine right although a little less odions! - We know that he was wrong; universal suffrage in Germany was to make possible the Social Democrats and Ultramontanes; it was to give the Parliamentary power into the hands of an opponent far more dangerous than the Liberals of the Prussian Assembly.
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux: Wedding on Hold!by Free Britney at . Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have reportedly pushed their wedding back, sparking rumors that the couple of several years may be on the rocks. As fans eagerly wait for her to become Mrs. Theroux, plans for the much-anticipated nuptials have slowed down in their 10-month engagement. Just a few months ago, planning was in full swing, says a source who speaks to Aniston often, and she even had a date in mind - for this spring. So much for that. "Wedding bands were designed and Jen was deciding on a dress," says the source, but People's cover story reports that "wedding talk has stopped." Why? With both Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux overloaded with work commitments and a massive house renovation underway, they are just too busy. Or so we're told. Is there something more troubling going on? "There are other priorities [besides marriage]," says a source who knows the couple, but wouldn't elaborate beyond that somewhat cryptic assessment. With packed schedules and challenges of combining lifestyles, a second source says "they need to figure out a way to create a life that makes them both happy." Still, an insider adds, "Jen can't wait to be [Justin's] wife." So don't write them off. Just don't anticipate any tabloid covers like this that are actually true for awhile. The fake ones will keep popping up, though. Bank on it.

SEATTLE - March 14, 2012 (WPVI) -- Police say a man has a concealed weapons permit for the gun his 3-year-old son used to fatally shoot himself while his family stopped for gas in Tacoma. Police Officer Naveed Benjamin says the Tacoma-area family stopped at a gas station at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. The father put his pistol under the seat and got out to pump gas while the mother went inside the convenience store. They left the boy and a 4- or 5-year-old daughter in the car. The boy climbed out of his child seat, found the gun and shot himself in the head. He was declared dead at a hospital. The girl was not injured. It was western Washington's third recent shooting by a child. Detectives questioned the parents and say the shooting is a tragic accident. (Copyright ©2014 WPVI-TV/DT.

- PHILLIPS: Where is the conservative establishment? - 7.5-magnitude earthquake shakes southern Mexico Egyptian civil disobedience could widen Story Topics Judges are on strike across the country, and the powerful judges union said Sunday that it would not oversee the referendum, as is customary. However, the country’s highest judicial body, the Supreme Judiciary Council, agreed on Monday to oversee the voting in a step legal experts described as “routine” and not obligatory. And the electoral commission, led by senior judges, was forced by law to hold a meeting on Sunday to discuss preparations for the referendum. Mr. Morsi’s legal adviser, Mohammed Gaballah, said the election commission began meeting on Sunday to organize the referendum. The official Al-Akhbar daily ran a front-page picture of the senior judges at the meeting, and Mr. Gaballah claimed that the judges will oversee the vote. But Judge Yousseri Abdel-Karim, a former spokesman of the electoral commission, said the commission’s mission is administrative and the meeting does not mean that judges are going to oversee the referendum. “Judges don’t retreat and we fear nothing and we will not change our position,” he said. Opposition figures have said they fear referendums because, in past votes, large numbers of voters, many of them illiterate, were easily swayed by Islamists who used religious sentiment for influence. Voting for Egyptians abroad is set to start on Saturday. Expatriate Egyptian activists and groups in Britain called Mr. Morsi’s decree a blatant assault against the rule of law.

Could Alabama’s ‘Fab Five’ be a package deal? Jul 25, 2013, 3:33 PM EDT I’m getting kind of sick of all this talk about package deals in recruiting. Most of it is smoke, a quote that gets twisted around or a kid that’s looking to get attention by saying that he’s linked to another player. Think about it like this: one top 40 recruit rooms with another top 40 recruit at an all-star camp, they become friends, they tell a reporter they’d be open to going to the same school because they get along well, and all of a sudden they’re a package deal. That’s usually how it happens. And I get annoyed hearing all the talk about it. But there’s a potentially cool story brewing down in Alabama, because the “Fab Five” — the crop of elite recruits in Alabama’s 2014 class, Justin Coleman (Rivals No. 92), Riley Norris (No. 95 Rivals), William Lee (Rivals No. 125), Isaac Haas (No. 58 Rivals) and Demetrius Houston — could all end up enrolling at the same school, and it looks like that school could end up being UAB. From AL.com: Why? Well, the AAU culture that high school coaches worry so much about could benefit the Blazers in this instance. The state’s top players have grown close from their years on the AAU circuit playing in camps and showcase events. Coleman noted a strong chemistry among the state’s top players and the versatile talents of Coleman, Norris and recent verbal Lewis Sullivan do mesh well together on the floor. Haas, the 7-foot-2 giant, said during All-Star Sports Week that UAB was his leader among schools like Purdue, Texas A&M and UCLA. He also brightened up considerably at the thought of playing college ball with Coleman. Then there was this comment about UAB. “I believe that if we can get the right recruitment and the right people to step up and play for UAB then I believe we can get the ‘Fab Five’ and go all over again and put UAB back where it used to be,” Haas said. There’s also this nugget: UAB can sign five players in the class of 2014. Alabama and Auburn would have to run a couple of people off to open up that much space on their roster. I’d say the odds of this happening are pretty low, but it would be pretty awesome if Jerod Haase and his UAB staff are somehow able to pull it off.
