Students Don't Have to Leave Their Faith at Home
As a parent, you may believe that in public education the "separation of church and state" prohibits your child from freely living out the Christian values you've worked so hard to instill. But students have more freedom to express their faith on campus than you, or they, realize.
Alliance Defending Freedom is here to protect the right of students to freely live out their faith during each stage of their education — from kindergarten through college.
Watch this video to better understand students' rights…and then get the resources you need to help ensure your child's school or university respects those rights.
Get Resources and Learn More
Much of what our children, as students, have been taught — and that we, as parents, often believe — about religious freedom in public education, simply isn't true! It's time to get the facts.
Learn more about your child's right to religious freedom from kindergarten through high school.

If you are a web developer you already know how important to reduce the image size by compressing the image. When you checking the page speed using the tool like "Google PageSpeed Insight" or "Yahoo YSlow", you can see how much bytes we can save by compressing the image.
Images saved from programs like Fireworks can contain kilobytes of extra comments, and use too many colors, even though a reduction in the color palette may not perceptibly reduce image quality. Improperly optimized images can take up more space than they need to; for users on slow connections, it is especially important to keep image sizes to a minimum.
You should perform both basic and advanced optimization on all images. Basic optimization includes cropping unnecessary space, reducing color depth to the lowest acceptable level, removing image comments, and saving the image to an appropriate format. You can perform basic optimization with any image editing program, such as GIMP. Advanced optimization involves further (lossless) compression of JPEG and PNG files. You should see a benefit for any image file that can be reduced by 25 bytes or more (less than this will not result in any appreciable performance gain). <Google Inc., 2012. Optimize images https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/best-practices/payload#CompressImages >
There are some online tools like "Yahoo Smush.it" use lossless compression techniques and reduce file size by removing the unnecessary bytes form the image. But if you want to make it automate, how do you do that? Several standalone tools are available that perform lossless compression on JPEG and PNG files.
For JPG Google recommended using,
For PNG Google recommended using,
Using the code
Here I wrote a windows batch file which recursively search the given folder and optimized the JPEG and PNG files.
- Download jpegtran, OptPNG and PNGOUT executable files. (Or download attached zip file all the necessary files already included)
- Create a folder "ImageOptimization" in your C:\ Drive. (You can change those name and folder location by editing the batch file content) and put above downloaded utility files there.
- Create a batch file "optimize.bat" within the folder and copy following code into it
@echo none REM Optimizing JPEG with jpegtran forfiles /p %1 /s /m "*.jpg" /c "cmd /c echo processing @path && D:\ImageOptimization\jpegtran.exe -optimize -progressive -copy none -outfile @path @path" REM Optimizing PNG with pngout forfiles /p %1 /s /m "*.png" /c "cmd /c echo processing @path && D:\ImageOptimization\pngout.exe @path" REM Optimizing PNG with optipng rem forfiles /p %1 /s /m "*.png" /c "cmd /c echo processing @path && D:\ImageOptimization\optipng.exe -force -o7 @path" pause
Although I included both PNGOUT and OPTPNG in the script you no need to use both.
- Finally you can execute the bat file by passing the image folder you wish to optimize
optimize.bat "D:\image"
How it works
- forfiles command – Select a file (or set of files) and execute a command on each file (Batch processing) Refer: http://ss64.com/nt/forfiles.html
- %1 – accept the folder as a parameter. In above example this will equal to "D:\Image"
forfiles command find all the images in the given directory (recursively) and execute the optimizing executable by passing the image as a parameter to them (@path).

text: Des really does do an amazing job, I think at times. He prob's takes too much on and we should maybe help out more if we are being honest. Not always easy with Work and so on though.. hence why we are on the lookout for another creative member, plus with Eddie now over at JBW that's taking the majority of his time when he used to help Des out more.

How heavy is the Sun? Jupiter? The Earth?Posted Mar 27th - 8:20pm by Dan Pope
I am going to use some very, very big numbers here to describe how heavy each of these objects are. When we have so many "zeros" we use magnitudes of power to describe the size. For example: 10 times 10 is 100; but this is the same as 10 to the second power (or 10 squared). If I use a number that has 10 to the 10th power, it means that 10 is multiplied by itself 10 times. That, Olivia, is a very big number.
Now, to the size of Earth. The Earth has a weight of 5.9737 times 10 to the 24th power in kilograms.
Will Lake Powell Rise This Year?Posted Mar 25th - 5:12pm by Dan Pope
Earlier this year, and continuing today, the Bureau of Reclamation who runs Lake Powell (US Government) let out a huge volume of the Lake Powell water into Lake Mead. It dropped the level of Lake Powell and they are saying it will drop another two feet before the spring runoff starts to fill it.
Lake Powell, as you know, is used as a "bladder" for Lake Mead; and because of the water shortages in California, Arizona, Las Vegas�etc, it was determined to release a lot water all at once, to push the levels of Lake Mead to where it can service the needs of the downstream users.

Are Wind Gusts Higher Today Than In Years Past?Posted Feb 23rd - 5:57pm by Dan Pope
Brian Young asks, "So am I just getting less tolerant and more annoyed at Mother Nature as I get older or have we really had more fierce, destructive winds in the last couple of years?" I'm not taking into account the necessity of wind� I'm not a big fan. Messes with my contacts, gives me a headache, damages my property, makes me have to clean up my neighbor's leaves�. I'm just not a not a big fan. I DO however like when it cleans an inversion out of the atmosphere, but would prefer it does its job at 20,000 feet instead of where I'm standing. Anyway, it seems to me that 1) we've not only had more wind than normal, but 2) it's been more destructive.
Is that the case� or am I, as my children keep telling me, just getting old and ornery�?

Weird Lights Over SugarhousePosted Feb 11th - 8:27pm by Dan Pope
(From Roger)
Hi Dan I observed 14 lights last night in the area east of Sugarhouse last night at 9:30 PM - did you hear anything about it. The lights were very uniform in appearance and were a very bright orange and very large, they had a design in the center of each lights that was lighted also. After several minutes they separated two by two and climbed higher in to the north sky until , two by two, they blinked out. I was wondering if someone was setting off balloons of some type that were illuminated. Not to be facetious but could you shed any light on this phenomena? My wife and I and my son observed the lights.
Snow & Thunder?Posted Feb 11th - 5:49pm by Dan Pope
Thunderstorms in the summer reach elevations over 50,000 feet. Winter cold fronts with thunder rarely reach over 22,000 feet. The greater the distance a rain drop or snow flake gets (charged positively or negatively) from the ground, charged oppositely, the greater the number of lightning strikes. So, winter thunder and lightning is unusual, but it does happen with strong fronts.
How Clouds Are FormedPosted Jul 31st - 11:17pm by Dan Pope
Dust particles and other fine particulate act as condensation nuclei (where water in the gas stage can condensate onto something). Dust is a good example of something that acts as a condensation nuclei. One thing that works well is "Silver Iodide", which is something scientists use to cloud seed to make rain. But it is somewhat expensive to drop into the clouds. At the Salt Lake Airport in the winter time when fog forms, they take Frozen Carbon Dioxide (dry ice) and grind it up and drop it out of the back of an airplane to cause the fog droplets to freeze and turn into snow and fall the the ground.

Why Is It So Windy In St. George This Summer?Posted Jul 31st - 11:10pm by Dan Pope
My experience is that during the hot summer months, southwest winds develop about every afternoon as the hot air rises up the Pine Valley Mountains and is pulled through the Virgin River Gorge. I've seen it happen for years, but typically it is an afternoon and early evening wind. Lately, there have been more storms in the area that have caused significant microburst wind activity. I would presume this is what you are referring to and I think you can blame a lot of what you are seeing on this.
The air heats up with the rising sun, and it is especially true on the slopes of the Pine Valley Mountains. The air pushes up along the hills and over the tops of the peaks. This air is replaced by air coming from the southwest and is likely funneled from and through the gap in the Beaver Dam Mountains and the Virgin River Gorge. Some of the wind is also moving up into the Zion N.P. area as the air rises there too. In the evening when the sun goes down, the air on the Pine Valley Mountains is cooler and heavier and it returns down the mountain side and the strong afternoon/evening winds quickly die off. However, if there are storms in the area, frequently these winds will continue well into the night. See if you are recognizing the winds long after sunset and this likely is coming from the microbursts from storms in a 150 to 200 mile radius of SW Utah. If the winds die off after sunset, then it is the diurnal (daily) wind patterns you see in the hot summer in St. George.
Explanation of how a storm developsPosted Jul 31st - 10:53pm by Dan Pope
Storms strengthen by a combination of several factors.

Pay-per-view (often abbreviated PPV) is the system in which television viewers can purchase events to be seen on TV and pay for the private telecast of that event to their homes. The event is shown at the same time to everyone ordering it, as opposed to video on demand systems, which allow viewers to see the event at any time. Events can be purchased using an on-screen guide, an automated telephone system, or through a live customer service representative. Events include feature films, sporting events, and pornographic movies.
The pay-per-view industry is generally regarded as a separate industry from television, even though they are fundamentally connected.
Pay-per-view began becoming popular when the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers began using the system after winning the championship in the 1977 season. During that time, it was operated on a few pay-TV services such as Z Channel, SelecTV, and ON-TV in select markets throughout the 1980s.
The first major pay-per-view event occurred on September 16, 1981, when Sugar Ray Leonard fought Thomas "Hitman" Hearns for the Welterweight Championship. Viacom Cablevision in Nashville, Tennessee, was the first system to offer the event and sold over fifty percent of its subscribers for the fight. Leonard visited Nashville to promote the fight, the event was such a success that Viacom's Annual Report that year was themed around the fight. Viacom's Marketing Director was Pat Thompson who put together the fight and subsequently put together additional PPV fights, wrestling matches, and even a Broadway play.
After leaving Viacom, Thompson became head of Sports View and produced the first pay-per-view football game on October 16, 1983, Tennessee versus Alabama from Birmingham, Alabama. Sports View was instrumental in building pay-per-view networks and was the early pioneer in developing TigerVision for LSU, TideVision for Alabama, and UT Vol Seat for Tennessee. Sports View also produced the Ohio State-Michigan Football game on PPV in November 1983.
In 1985, the first U.S. cable channels devoted to pay-per-view, Viewers Choice, Cable Video Store, and Request TV began operation within days of each other. Viewers Choice was available to both home satellite dish and cable customers, while Request TV was available to cable viewers but would not be available to dish owners until the 1990s.
However, the term "pay-per-view" wasn't widely used until the 1990s, when companies like iN DEMAND, HBO, and Showtime started using the system to show movies and some of their productions. In Demand would show movies, concerts, and other events, with prices ranging from $3.99 to $49.99, while HBO and Showtime, with their legs TVKO and SET Pay Per View, would offer championship boxing, with prices ranging from $14.99 to $54.99.
ESPN has shown college football and basketball games on pay-per-view. The boxing undercard Latin Fury, shown on June 28 2003, became ESPN's first boxing pay-per-view card and also the first pay-per-view boxing card held in Puerto Rico. Pay-per-view is also a very important revenue stream for professional wrestling companies like World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) , Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) , Ring of Honor (ROH) and Asistencia Asesoría y Administración.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a relative newcomer on the pay-per-view scene, "matched the once-dominant World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. in pay-per-view revenues during 2006 and surpassed boxing-titan HBO. The three companies make up the bulk of the pay-per-view business." According to Deana Myers, a senior analyst at Kagan Research LLC that tracks the industry, "UFC has reinvigorated the pay-per-view category.
In 2007, UFC officially took over as the "king of pay-per-view". Of the 15 biggest PPV events of 2007 in North America, UFC had eight, four for boxing and three for World Wrestling Entertainment.
But 1999 was very different than 2006. 1999 was the year of De La Hoya-Trinidad (1,400,000 buys), Holyfield-Lewis I (1,200,000), Holyfield-Lewis II (850,000), and De La Hoya-Quartey (570,000). By contrast, the only pay-per-view mega fight in 2006 was De La Hoya-Mayorga (925,000 buys). Rahman-Maskaev was a bust with under 50,000. The other eight PPV cards last year were all in the 325,000-450,000 range. Pay-per-view fights in that range almost always generate more money for the promoter and fighters than HBO is willing to pay for an HBO World Championship Boxing license fee.
In May 2007, the Oscar De La Hoya VS Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight on HBO PPV not only became the biggest selling non-heavyweight title fight of all time, but the biggest of all time period, with 2.5 million buyers. The fight itself generated roughly $134.4 million dollars in domestic PPV revenue, making it the richest prizefight of all time. In December 2007's Floyd Mayweather Jr. VS Ricky Hatton fight is on-track to sell well over 1.5 million PPV buys, making Mayweather the only non-heavyweight fighter of all-time to sell two million-plus selling PPV bouts in one calendar year.
The leading PPV seller is Oscar De La Hoya, who has sold approximately 12.8 million units total, giving $612 million in domestic television receipts. In third place in buys is Evander Holyfield, with 12.6 million units ($543 million), and in second in Mike Tyson, with 12.4 million units ($545 million).
HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg calls the expansion of pay-per-view "the biggest economic issue in boxing" and says, "I can't tell you that pay-per-view helps the sport because it doesn't. It hurts the sport because it narrows our audience, but it's a fact of life. Every time we try to make an HBO World Championship Boxing fight, we're up against mythical pay-per-view numbers. HBO doesn't make a lot of money from pay-per-view. There's usually a cap on what we can make. But the promoters and fighters insist on pay-per-view because that's where their greatest profits lie."
"It's a big problem," Greenburg continues. "It's getting harder and harder to put fighters like Manny Pacquiao on HBO World Championship Boxing. If Floyd Mayweather beats Oscar, he might never fight on HBO World Championship Boxing again. But if HBO stopped doing pay-per-view, the promoters would simply do it on their own [like Bob Arum did with Cotto-Malignaggi in June 2006] or find someone else who will do it for them."
Former HBO Sports President Seth Abraham concurs, saying, "I think, if Lou (DiBella) and I were still at HBO, we'd be in the same pickle as far as the exodus of fights to pay-per-view is concerned." (Credit SecondsOut: http://www.secondsout.com/usa/colhauser.cfm?ccs=208&cs=21089)
One of the earliest pay-per-view systems on cable the Optical Systems Channel 100, which first saw service in 1972 in San Diego through Mission Cable (acquired by Cox Communications) and TheaterVisioN, which ran out of Sarasota, Florida. These early systems quickly went out of business, as the cable industry adopted satellite technology and flat rate systems like Home Box Office became popular.
Digital cable subscribers also have similar capability by using the bidirectional capabilities of digital cable technology instead of a telephone line. Similar systems are in use by Sky Digital in the United Kingdom.
In Canada, Viewers Choice offers pay-per-view services through various Canadian satellite TV and digital cable television providers, including Rogers Digital Cable, Star Choice, and MTS. Prices range from $5.99 CAD for movies, up to $20 CAD or more for special events. (Ex. WWE and ECW pay-per-views, which usually cost $39.95 for normal 3-hour PPV's, and $49.95 for the 4-hour WrestleMania special.) Bell TV delivers its own pay-per-view service, Vu!, to its satellite subscribers. Prices range from $4.99 CAD up to $20 or more for special events. It also runs Venus, an adult pay-per-view service, to its satellite subscribers for $9.99 per movie.
Pay-per-view has also been introduced in Europe and many other areas of the world. In the UK, Sky's PremPlus (which last broadcast in 2007) and Sky Box Office services have proved popular with viewers.

Top Gear bids farewell to the Subaru Impreza
The hardcore Impreza brought blistering performance and rally cool to the masses in the 90s. Read TG's tribute...
Posted: 22 Mar 2013
The heroes
Back in September 2008, more than 1,000 Subaru owners spelt out Colin McRae's name at Prodrive's test track. With their cars. No one else has ever inspired a tribute quite as bonkers.
McRae, the unassuming, frequently uncommunicative Scotsman, and the unpretentious Impreza were made for each other. People would line freezing cold forests for hours for one savagely fast, stupendously sideways glimpse of the man at work. He was flawed and only won the championship once. But he was a proper hero. Raise a Thermos in his memory.
Tommi Mäkinen was arguably Prost to McRae's Senna. Factor in his four consecutive titles in the Mitsubishi Lancer - the Impreza's nemesis on road and rally stage - and you have the narrative that the WRC has so sorely lacked these past few years. Mäkinen was more precise and controlled, where McRae let it all hang out. Indeed, Finland's top driver manager, Timo Jouhki, once told me that McRae was too wild to win. "You can have terrific skills, maybe even superior skills to a rival driver, but it will not count if you cannot handle the pressure. Colin McRae had some major psychological weaknesses. His mental side was not totally suitable to winning championships..." This assessment makes him more human somehow.
So no wonder the cars had the impact they did. Impreza vs Lancer. In Britain especially, there was something almost perverse about the transformation of these boggo saloons to highly bred rally weapons, and it hooked an entire generation. With their active yaw control and adjustable differentials, their simple LED menus that allowed the driver to scroll between gravel, tarmac and snow, there was a fine line between control and chaos. It's a line we may never get the chance to cross again.

Maybe you're restoring your Corvette or just can't stand another hot summer with the A/C turned off because your Corvette runs too hot. It's probably time to replace your original copper/brass radiator with a high-efficiency aluminum unit. You know what we mean. You can run the A/C as long as you're moving at highway speeds, but even at speed, the temperature is elevated. When you sit in traffic and idle for a while, the temperature continues to creep up and your anxiety builds. You've tried all the easy stuff, including a lower temperature thermostat, maybe added an electric fan (if you have an engine-driven fan), or possibly tried some miracle cooling liquids. Nothing you have done so far has helped. No problem. A new aluminum radiator can save your Corvette from major future damage.
Aluminum radiators are, in most cases, at least 30 percent more efficient than copper/brass radiators. The primary reason is aluminum radiator tube configuration allows more tube surface to air than copper/brass radiators. There are a few manufacturers in the aluminum radiator game now. We decided on a Dewitts radiator for Project Shark Attack because their radiators are Direct Fit, a complete drop-in with no modifications. One thing we didn't need was more fabrication during the assembly of PSA.
Dewitts specializes in Corvette radiators, and they also understand how particular Corvette owners can be about the fit and finish of their Corvette. The Dewitts radiator is unique because the tanks are stamped and, for all practical purposes, resemble the factory copper/brass tanks. The radiator inlet and outlet positions are also in the same location as the factory unit it replaces.
The coat of black paint on a Dewitts radiator requires a double take-you think you're looking at an original copper/brass unit. Dewitts has a black ice coating they can apply to the radiator if originality concerns you. The black ice coating is formulated to give you the original look without the heat transfer concerns of traditional paints. The welded tanks to the radiator core might give it away, but that's OK. The welded tanks mean no epoxy to act as a heat sink.
Our radiator core support was junk (like most are). We originally thought we could save ours, but once we cut into it, the rot was much worse than we thought. New radiator core supports have been difficult to find in the past. Luckily, Dewitts had one available. We didn't want to compromise the radiator install with a weak radiator core support or have the nose of the PSA drooping.
Although we decided to use electric fans on this project, they are not mandatory. The aluminum radiator will make a significant difference and work fine with an engine-driven cooling fan. The problem with engine-driven cooling fans is they work best when you need them the least. Electric fans, when controlled properly, will keep the engine temperature stable no matter what the ambient temperature is.

So I watched the show, watched the host hold up a SW custom, talk about headswapping, which I'm not sure applies as much to Kenner SW figs as much as other lines, but then he THROWS the custom back into the bin he found it in like it was a turd. He also said collectors have "mixed feelings" about customs.
Looked to me like a diss, but even if it wasn't you'd think being a "pro" he'd be a wee bit more careful with somebody else's collection

Lake Tahoe, NV (SportsNetwork.com) - With Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam dusting off her clubs to take part in the American Century Championship this weekend at Edgewood Golf Course, oddsmakers at Harrah's have linked the 10- time major winner to Tiger Woods, who is playing in the British Open across the pond simultaneously.
Oddsmakers have created a prop bet that will pay 5-to-1 if Annika wins the American Century Championship and Tiger Woods finishes in the top 10 of the British Open at Royal Liverpool. Another prop will pay 7-to-1 if it neither happens.
"We always want to tie the British Open into this event because they're at the same time and it's fun," said Steve Schorr, Sportsbook Director at Harrah's and Harveys. "We talked a lot because we wanted to put Tiger in how is he going to play. We talked about the odds of being anywhere between 5-to-1 and 10-to-1. And we figured that more would come on the plus side so we made it a little bit lower. But it's going to be a fun bet."
Annika is listed at even odds to win the American Century Championship this weekend.
The legendary women's golf superstar, owner of 89 international tournament wins and over $22 million in prize money, is among the most successful players in the history of the sport. Now a part-time resident of Lake Tahoe and the mother of two children, Sorenstam will tee it up on even terms with the accomplished pro athlete golfers in the nationally televised, 54-hole, $600,000 competition at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, a three day tournament from July 18-20.
Sorenstam, 43, is 11 years removed from her memorable international foray onto the men's PGA Tour at the 2003 Colonial Open in Fort Worth, Texas. Under the media spotlight, she went toe-to-toe with the best players in the world, missing the cut by three strokes and earning global fame and respect for taking on an unprecedented challenge. Sorenstam announced her retirement in 2008 and her last tournament start came in that season's year-end ADT Championship.
More than 80 of the biggest sports and entertainment stars and celebrities will tee it up at the famed Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course for this year's celebrity golf tournament, vying for the $125,000 winner's share of the $600,000 purse.
Other top name players in the 2014 field are Charles Barkley, Aaron Rodgers, John Elway, Steph Curry, Jerry Rice, Roger Clemens, Steve Young, Alex Smith, Greg Maddux, John Fox and Carson Palmer.
Sorenstam is the Harrah's/Harveys Lake Tahoe Race & Sports Book's choice to win the event. John Elway at 12-1 and Stephen Curry at 10-1 are among other title contenders. Right behind Annika are: defending champion Billy Joe Tolliver at 9-2, eight-time tournament champion Rick Rhoden at 5-1, Jack Wagner, Mark Mulder, and Jeremy Roenick at 7-1 and Mark Rypien and John Smoltz at 8-1. Roger Clemens at 18-1 and Jerry Rice at 30-1 are also in the hunt.
The American Century Championship is celebrating its 25th Anniversary in 2014 with a special salute to America's Armed Forces. As part of that initiative, Col. Chad Pfeifer, three-time winner of President George W. Bush's Warrior Open and the 2011 National Amputee Tournament champion, will also join the field. Pfeifer lost his left leg in an IED explosion while on patrol in Iraq in 2007.

Movie studios can spend millions campaigning for an Academy Award. This isn't just a move to take home a golden statue. Winning an Oscar can translate into big money for a movie studio.
Just how much financial influence can the Oscars have?
According to IBISWorld, the average best picture Academy Award winners between 2006-2010 saw a bump of 22.2 percent (or $20.3 million) in box-office revenue after receiving a nomination and an additional 15.3 percent (or $14 million) following a trophy.
The 2011 best picture winner, "The King's Speech," saw a significant Oscar bump, with 42 percent of its box-office sales coming after its nomination and 16 percent more after it won. Paramount Pictures is hoping for a big bump for Martin Scorsese's high-budget family film "Hugo," which grabbed 11 Oscar nominations but has been underwhelming at ticket sales.
Which movies have seen the biggest boost from Oscar? With data from BoxOfficeMojo.com,CNBC.com looked at box-office sales for best picture winners, comparing revenues before and after their win since 1982. (That's the earliest comprehensive Oscar data available from BoxOfficeMojo.) The movies on the following list are the winners that had the largest percentage of box-office revenue after they were named best picture.
Like several on our list, many films are released on a limited basis near the end of a given year and are not widely released until the following year, and that can have a significant effect on the bump. In some cases, distributors will purposely release movies around nomination time to help maximize the Oscar boost.

Is Michael Phelps Jealous of Ryan Lochte's New Reality Show?
During the 2012 Summer Olympics, there was no question that Michael Phelps was the star of the show. Sure, his teammate Ryan Lochte also had his fair share of success — quickly becoming a household name after winning a gold medal of his own and coining his trademark phrase, 'Jeah!' — but Michael was the ultimate man of the hour, becoming the most-decorated swimmer of all time after upping his medal count to 22, including 18 of the gold variety.
But with the Games long over, the tables seem to have turned. While Michael has been more under-the-radar than ever — having retired from swimming and breaking up with girlfriend Megan Rossee — Ryan's gone Hollywood. He's set to debut his own E! reality show, What Would Ryan Lochte Do?, later this spring.
So is Michael seeing green now that Ryan's on track to become the bigger star?
Not quite. According to onlookers at last week's Motorola Music Lounge, hosted by Sirius XM, Michael didn't have a care in the world, partying the afternoon away at the Sol Republic-sponsored event at the W Hotel with other VIPs including DJ's Paul Oakenfeld, Steve Aoki, and Cameron Winklevoss. Post-party, he attended an invite-only poker bash at Sol Republic CEO Kevin Lee's pad. (Guests at the bash also took selfies at the interactive A/X photo booth while sipping on Corzo Tequila!)
"He was having fun but wasn't looking for extra attention," a partygoer tells Wetpaint. "He doesn't seem super-interested in the spotlight right now. I'm sure, more than anything, he's happy Ryan's taking the heat off him."
Even so, any chance Michael would do a cameo on Ryan's show? We certainly hope so!

Patagonia GI III Pant
The Patagonia GI III Pant is a lightweight, quick-drying, durable pant that does a decent job of blocking the wind. The elasticized waist gives a comfortable fit, and the included belt helps keep them in place during strenuous activities. Two large handwarmer pockets, a large zippered cargo pocket on the right thigh with elastic lanyard inside, and a large zippered pocket on the right hip allow you to securely carry smaller items like a wallet, cell phone, compass, keys, etc. I picked up these pants… Full review
RailRiders Backcountry Khakis
Very lightweight, excellent aesthetic (actually looks like something I'd wear to the office!), well designed pockets. Best for hiking or going on the town. Highly recommended for those who want quick drying hiking pants that can transition easily to other more formal ventures. I purchased these to use on an upcoming several day trip. Overall, the fit and finish on these pants is excellent. Further, they're light, hang well, have normal belt loops (as opposed to the really thick ones on some hiking… Full review
The North Face Men's Paramount Convertible Pant
Practical and comfortable, these pants excell in a variety of conditions. Got a pair of these a few years back, and still love them. I have done many backpacking and day hike trips in them, and they are still my "go to" pants in a variety of conditions. Some other reviewers have complained about the fit of these, but I find that they fit me perfectly. Some pants and shorts I've had in the past, have a tendency to be pushed down by my pack hipbelt, but these stay in place nicely, all day long. The… Full review
L.L.Bean TrioZone Pants
This fleece pant was purchased as an alternative to insulated Gore-tex type pants, for activities such as hiking, snowshoeing, kicksledding, and skijoring. I have found the pants to perform better than I had expected, and they are used 4-5 times per week. I would recommend this product, especially if it can be obtained on sale (as is currently). These pants are very comfortable. I have previously owned fleece pants that pilled, and the fleece deteriorated...these pants have maintained their fleece… Full review
Montane Super Terra Pants
These are rugged outdoor pants which can be used for many different activities. Durable, yet stretchy, Montane's Super Terra Pants are comfortable in fit and feel. With plenty of deep pockets located nearly everywhere, having access to any gear or food on the trail isn't an issue. Even with leg vents, I'd still recommend wearing these for cool/cold weather use as the material itself isn't very breathable. Testing Process Montane claims that the Super Terra Pants can be used for several uses… Full review
RailRiders Men's Adventure Khaki
A great pair of pants for traveling and light adventures, but still nice enough to wear into the office on Monday morning. Super comfy, unexpectedly tough, and quite stylish. The Adventure Khakis are the lightest pairs of pants I own. I have one in each color and I wear them several times a week. What I love about the Adventure Khaki is how lightweight and packable they are. You can crush em up, jam them in a bag, and pull them out hours/days later and they will be wrinkle free. They are super light… Full review
RailRiders Backcountry Khakis
The choice for every adventure you can imagine. There are very few products that can so easily move from the trail to the street as well as these pants. I have taken mine, literally, from numerous backwater places all over the world.....then jumped onto a train, cab, or plane and was still considered respectable in every environment. With all of the benefits of style, quick-drying, tough-as-nails and proper fit..the choice for the ONE (or two) pair of pants for any and every adventure is so, so… Full review
White Sierra Men's Trail Convertible Pant
Comfortable, fast drying nylon pants which can be converted to shorts by zipping off the legs. Reasonably priced, but fully functional. Great for all season trail use. I have one pair of these which I've used for four years and another pair purchased a few months ago. The original pants are still in fantastic condition despite a lot of hard use. I only purchased the new pair because I've gotten smaller over the years and the old ones are getting hard to keep up. The recently purchased pants have… Full review
Kuhl Radikl Pant
Absolutely the best clothing item I've ever owned. Kuhl has outdone itself with these pants. The Radikl pants are hands down the best pair of pants I've ever encountered for outdoor wear. The elastic type fabric seen in the pants leg, crotch, and backside not only allows for air circulation but also permits a free range of movement unlike any other clothing item I've seen. Fabric has a stretchy feel but still presents a professional appearance that would allow for wear in a more business-like atmosphere. Full review

Santorum's Missing Ingredient
Despite the fact that Mitt Romney chose not to compete in Missouri and Minnesota—and spent little time in Colorado—his loss last night in all three states, to Rick Santorum, has been spun by the media as a terrible wound for the former Massachusetts governor. MSNBC's Michael O'Brien described the results as "upsetting" to Romney's status as the front-runner, while The Washington Post said that it would slow Romney's march to the nomination. For The New York Times, this race was an "upset" that "raised fresh questions about Mitt Romney's ability to corral conservative support."
The reality, however, is that it did none of those things. This seems to go by the wayside whenever a new "anti-Romney" emerges, but it remains true that Mitt Romney has the most support within the Republican Party, the largest fundraising base, and the largest, most experienced organization. Of the candidates, he's the most skilled at the process of running for president—which, admittedly, doesn't say much—and he's the most broadly acceptable to all stakeholders in the GOP.
Overall, 39 percent of Republicans support Romney, including 43 percent of those who say that they are "somewhat conservative" and 25 percent of those who say they are "very conservative." If Rick Santorum has a chance to become the GOP nominee, I'm not sure how it happens, barring a complete meltdown from Romney.
But, you might say, the primaries aren't even close to over, and Romney is far away from the 1,144 delegates necessary to cinch the nomination. That's absolutely true. It's conceivable that Romney wouldn't win enough delegates to get the nomination outright, which would make Santorum (or Ron Paul, or Newt Gingrich) an outsize player in the race.
The problem is that this contest isn't about delegates; it's about momentum, which itself is tied to the fundamentals of a campaign. Santorum's near win (later win) in Iowa was a huge upset, but he wasn't equipped to carry that momentum through New Hampshire and over to South Carolina. Romney was, in fact, on the path to victory in the Palmetto State until Gingrich trumped him with a play to the racial fears and anxieties of his audience.
Although none of the elections last night awarded delegates, there's no doubt that Santorum will leave this week with a little wind in his sails. The only question worth asking is whether he can sustain it, and at the moment, that looks unlikely. By contrast, Romney will win another contest (or two) in February and is well placed to sweep Super Tuesday in March. Unlike his competitors, he can build on momentum, and that's what will take him to victory.
All of this said, there is one thing you can take away from last night. The political media wants this Republican primary to be a horse race and will hype anyone who seems like a competitor to Romney, regardless of their actual viability. For that reason, the Romney campaign should want to end this as soon as possible—as long as this is a "horse race," Romney looks vulnerable. In a general election, vulnerability isn't an asset when you're trying to corral a skeptical public to your side.
Wed, 2012-02-08 18:14
While Santorum's recent victory may not be predictive of continued successes, it does reinforce the perception that Republicans are still unsettled with the range of options available to them. What they are really praying for is a "Frankinstein" candidate made up of Gringrich's debating skills, Santorum's rabid conservativism, Romney's business background, and Paul's 19th century political perspective.

NICEVILLE— When Gen Taylor moved to town as a new bride 50 years ago there was one red light, a few stores and a two-lane road.
Things have changed drastically since then. Roads have been widened, national chain storeshave opened and thousands of residents have made Niceville their home.
"The city has just exploded in the last few years," said Taylor, 71, who lives on Bayshore Drive. "But it still feels like a small town."
And the once quiet city is looking to continue to grow in population and business development in coming years.
Officials say that although they have predictions, the future is uncertain. However, if recent years are any indication, Niceville will continue to flourish.
They say they expect to see more large businesses, more residents and homes, and even more growth to the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival and the Turkey Creek recreation area.
"There's been a lot of development from when I first came here," City Manager Lannie Corbin said. "The biggy is I don't see as many people I know in the grocery store as I used to. It's changed from that point.
"We still have the small town atmosphere, but there really has been a lot of change."
Traffic and roads
The most noticeable change to Niceville may the traffic and the road work completed to handle it.
In recent years State Road 20 through Bluewater Bay to the east was widened to four lanes and John Sims Parkway through town was widened to six lanes, said Ian Satter, district spokesman for the Florida Department of Transportation.
"By increasing capacity we were able to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion so we could add to safety and have less crashes," Satter said.
The Mid-Bay Bridge Authority also is building a bypass around the heart of Niceville to connect the bridge to State Road 85 just north of College Boulevard. It should be finished next year.
Future DOT projects include a bridge replacement on John Sims Parkway in 2018.
"We are constantly looking at updating our five-year plan to accommodate for any future needs as they arise as well," Satter said.
When 71-year-old Wayne Spencer drives around town today he says he sees a different Niceville than when he grew up.
Crashes and traffic jams are normal, but he and other residents say the progress and changes are good.
"I remember when John Sims (Parkway) was just two lanes," Spencer said recently as he ate breakfast at the Coffee Shop on John Sims. "There's much more traffic now, but I hope to see continued growth. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens."
Doing business
Tricia Brunson, president of the Niceville Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce, grew up in Niceville when it had one popular restaurant and few shopping options.
"I remember we went to A&Wfor Friday night dinner every week. It was a drive-thru that everyone in town went to," Brunson said. "I miss those days, but slowly but surely various fast food chains have come and our little area has grown."
Louis Mullins, owner of Mullins Auto Body, which has been in business 25 years, said the commercial center has spread from primarily Palm Plazato other areas of John Sims and to Bluewater Bay.
The once swampy area around the Coffee Shop now boasts a number of businesses, including restaurants, a beauty salon and a doctor's office,Mullins said at the diner.
"There definitely has been steady growth and an influx of businesses," he said. "The nucleus of Niceville used to be on (State Road) 85 and now everything has shifted over."
Walmart and Publix have located in Niceville recently. Brunson said she hopes the national chains will attract other businesses such as the Chick-fil-Anear Walmart.
"If there is an opportunity for growth in Niceville it would be in the retail sector," Brunson said. "We don't really have any clothing stores, but I believe with Publix coming in other retail opportunities will follow."
Wayne Spencer doesn't think he's being biased when he says Niceville has some of the greatest amenities to offer.
Of course, he spends his time working at Turkey Creek to assist the hundreds of people who stroll along the boardwalk every day.
"People who come here are amazed that such a small town has so many amenities like Turkey Creek," Spencer said.
The trail is open from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. for walking and swimming in the creek, which stays at 67 degrees. On summer weekends anywhere from 800 to 1,200 people can be found on the trail or in the water.
City officials now are waiting for approval of a grant to extend the boardwalk off John Sims and College Boulevard.
There also are the city's softball fields and children's park, community center and library at the City Hall complex on North Partin Drive.
And don't forget the Mullet Festival, which saw about 45,000 visitors last October.
"We have turned into a community that has really improved on the quality of life," said Corbin, the city manager. "The amenities, which we really have done a great job with, are what really makes a real quality community, and that's what we have here in Niceville."
Making a home
The city boasts a population of more than 13,000 and has grown by 6.57 percent in the last two years, beating Okaloosa County's growth by 1.45 percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
"In just last year, we've added another 100 to 150 homes in Niceville," Corbin said. "Niceville has a lot to offer. People look at the area, the school system, the amenities, and they see that this is a great place to live."
Corbin says the future looks bright with the annexation of 1,100 acres for residential and commercial growth.
"Probably in 10 years we'll see another 1,500 people," Corbin said. "There's potential with the new annex that our population could double in the future. A lot of that depends on the stability of the economy and Eglin" Air Force Base.
Longtime Mayor Randall Wise agrees.
"It's something we're preparing for now," he said of the potential growth. "It will be a different set of living than we've seen even today."
Gen Taylor's piece of the world along Bayshore Drive looks pretty much the same as it did 15 years ago. Still, she welcomes growth and says she really would like to see a family restaurant like Golden Corral open.
"It still feels like a small town," Taylor said. "The people are as friendly today as they were when I first moved here. … I love it here.
"I don't know any other place I'd like to live."
