The Continued LA VFX Exodus - Sony's Imageworks moving to Canada
LA Times 5/30/14
In a further blow to Southern California's visual-effects industry, Sony Pictures Imageworks is moving its Los Angeles-area headquarters to Canada.
One of Hollywood's leading visual effects companies said Friday that it will move into a new facility in Vancouver that will accommodate up to 700 employees. It isn't clear how many of the company's 270 workers based in Culver City will lose their jobs, though some will be offered a chance to relocate.
The announcement was met with dismay in Southern California's beleaguered visual-effects industry, which has been buffeted by the effects of outsourcing and runaway production.
"These are middle-class jobs that President Obama has said are part of an American success story and now they are packing up and leaving," veteran visual-effects artist Dave Rand said. "At this point, visual-effects artists are shellshocked."
The Imageworks move will enable Sony to cut costs by capitalizing on incentives that aren't available in California.
Film companies operating in Vancouver and the province of British Columbia can recoup as much as nearly 60% of what they spend on hiring local workers. Those incentives have made Vancouver a major draw for film and TV production and a hub for post-production services.
Unlike California, British Columbia awards tax credits for post-production work even on movies that don't film in the province. California's film program also excludes large budget movies that require the most visual effects work. A bill to expand the program was recently approved by the Assembly.
One group of visual-effects artists, however, opposes the bill. It is seeking to challenge the legality of all foreign film subsidies before the U.S. Court of International Trade.
"These subsidies are incredibly damaging to the industry here," said Daniel Lay, author of the VFX Soldier blog, who is organizing the challenge. "The expectation now is that you have to keep moving around and chasing your job."
Imageworks had been taking steps to shift more work to Vancouver, where it opened a satellite office in 2010. The company this year moved about three dozen workers to its Vancouver studio. Last year, employment at that production office swelled to 350 as the team worked on "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."
The Vancouver team recently completed work on "Edge of Tomorrow" for Warner Bros. and will lead Sony's current and future projects, including Disney/Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" and Sony Pictures' "Hotel Transylvania 2," the company said.
The relocation comes as Sony Pictures faces pressure to reduce expenses throughout the studio.
Sony Pictures executives outlined $250 million in planned budget cuts after some high-profile misses at the box office last year. Those cut have included layoffs in March at the studio's Culver City headquarters and at international offices.
Founded in 1992, Sony Pictures Imageworks is known for its visual effects and character animation on such movies as "Men in Black 3" and "Oz the Great and Powerful." The unit also does work for Sony's animation division, which will remain in Los Angeles.
In 2007, Sony Pictures Imageworks opened an office in New Mexico to take advantage of film rebates in the state. But Sony closed that office five years later after film production slowed in that state.

This chapter provides helpful tips for understanding and configuring Cisco IOS software using the command-line interface (CLI). It contains the following sections:
•Using the no and default Forms of Commands
•Filtering Output from the show and more Commands
•Identifying Supported Platforms
For an overview of Cisco IOS software configuration, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
For information on the conventions used in the Cisco IOS software documentation set, see the chapter "About Cisco IOS Software Documentation" located at the beginning of this book.
You use the CLI to access Cisco IOS software. Because the CLI is divided into many different modes, the commands available to you at any given time depend on the mode you are currently in. Entering a question mark (?) at the CLI prompt allows you to obtain a list of commands available for each command mode.
When you log in to the CLI, you are in user EXEC mode. User EXEC mode contains only a limited subset of commands. To have access to all commands, you must enter privileged EXEC mode, normally by using a password. From privileged EXEC mode you can issue any EXEC command—user or privileged mode—or you can enter global configuration mode. Most EXEC commands are one-time commands. For example, show commands show important status information, and clear commands clear counters or interfaces. The EXEC commands are not saved when the software reboots.
Configuration modes allow you to make changes to the running configuration. If you later save the running configuration to the startup configuration, these changed commands are stored when the software is rebooted. To enter specific configuration modes, you must start at global configuration mode. From global configuration mode, you can enter interface configuration mode and a variety of other modes, such as protocol-specific modes.
ROM monitor mode is a separate mode used when the Cisco IOS software cannot load properly. If a valid software image is not found when the software boots or if the configuration file is corrupted at startup, the software might enter ROM monitor mode.
Table 1 describes how to access and exit various common command modes of the Cisco IOS software. It also shows examples of the prompts displayed for each mode.
User EXEC
Log in.
Use the logout command.
Privileged EXEC
From user EXEC mode, use the enable EXEC command.
To return to user EXEC mode, use the disable command.
Global configuration
From privileged EXEC mode, use the configure terminal privileged EXEC command.
To return to privileged EXEC mode from global configuration mode, use the exit or end command, or press Ctrl-Z.
Interface configuration
From global configuration mode, specify an interface using an interface command.
To return to global configuration mode, use the exit command.
To return to privileged EXEC mode, use the end command, or press Ctrl-Z.
ROM monitor
From privileged EXEC mode, use the reload EXEC command. Press the Break key during the first 60 seconds while the system is booting.
To exit ROM monitor mode, use the continue command.
For more information on command modes, refer to the "Using the Command-Line Interface" chapter in the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Entering a question mark (?) at the CLI prompt displays a list of commands available for each command mode. You can also get a list of keywords and arguments associated with any command by using the context-sensitive help feature.
To get help specific to a command mode, a command, a keyword, or an argument, use one of the following commands:
Provides a brief description of the help system in any command mode.
Provides a list of commands that begin with a particular character string. (No space between command and question mark.)
Completes a partial command name.
Lists all commands available for a particular command mode.
command ?
Lists the keywords or arguments that you must enter next on the command line. (Space between command and question mark.)
This section provides an example of how to display syntax for a command. The syntax can consist of optional or required keywords and arguments. To display keywords and arguments for a command, enter a question mark (?) at the configuration prompt or after entering part of a command followed by a space. The Cisco IOS software displays a list and brief description of available keywords and arguments. For example, if you were in global configuration mode and wanted to see all the keywords or arguments for the arap command, you would type arap ?.
The <cr> symbol in command help output stands for "carriage return." On older keyboards, the carriage return key is the Return key. On most modern keyboards, the carriage return key is the Enter key. The <cr> symbol at the end of command help output indicates that you have the option to press Enter to complete the command and that the arguments and keywords in the list preceding the <cr> symbol are optional. The <cr> symbol by itself indicates that no more arguments or keywords are available and that you must press Enter to complete the command.
Table 2 shows examples of how you can use the question mark (?) to assist you in entering commands. The table steps you through configuring an IP address on a serial interface on a Cisco 7206 router that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(3).
Router> enable
Password: <password>
Enter the enable command and password to access privileged EXEC commands. You are in privileged EXEC mode when the prompt changes to
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Enter the configure terminal privileged EXEC command to enter global configuration mode. You are in global configuration mode when the prompt changes to
Router(config)# interface serial ?
<0-6> Serial interface number
Router(config)# interface serial 4 ?
Router(config)# interface serial 4/ ?
<0-3> Serial interface number
Router(config)# interface serial 4/0
Enter interface configuration mode by specifying the serial interface that you want to configure using the interface serial global configuration command.
Enter ? to display what you must enter next on the command line. In this example, you must enter the serial interface slot number and port number, separated by a forward slash.
You are in interface configuration mode when the prompt changes to
Router(config-if)# ?
Interface configuration commands:
ip Interface Internet Protocol config commands
keepalive Enable keepalive
lan-name LAN Name command
llc2 LLC2 Interface Subcommands
load-interval Specify interval for load calculation for an
locaddr-priority Assign a priority group
logging Configure logging for interface
loopback Configure internal loopback on an interface
mac-address Manually set interface MAC address
mls mls router sub/interface commands
mpoa MPOA interface configuration commands
mtu Set the interface Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
netbios Use a defined NETBIOS access list or enable
no Negate a command or set its defaults
nrzi-encoding Enable use of NRZI encoding
ntp Configure NTP
Enter ? to display a list of all the interface configuration commands available for the serial interface. This example shows only some of the available interface configuration commands.
Router(config-if)# ip ?
Interface IP configuration subcommands:
access-group Specify access control for packets
accounting Enable IP accounting on this interface
address Set the IP address of an interface
authentication authentication subcommands
bandwidth-percent Set EIGRP bandwidth limit
broadcast-address Set the broadcast address of an interface
cgmp Enable/disable CGMP
directed-broadcast Enable forwarding of directed broadcasts
dvmrp DVMRP interface commands
hello-interval Configures IP-EIGRP hello interval
helper-address Specify a destination address for UDP broadcasts
hold-time Configures IP-EIGRP hold time
Router(config-if)# ip
Enter the command that you want to configure for the interface. This example uses the ip command.
Enter ? to display what you must enter next on the command line. This example shows only some of the available interface IP configuration commands.
Router(config-if)# ip address ?
A.B.C.D IP address
negotiated IP Address negotiated over PPP
Router(config-if)# ip address
Enter the command that you want to configure for the interface. This example uses the ip address command.
Enter ? to display what you must enter next on the command line. In this example, you must enter an IP address or the negotiated keyword.
A carriage return (<cr>) is not displayed; therefore, you must enter additional keywords or arguments to complete the command.
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.0.1 ?
A.B.C.D IP subnet mask
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.0.1
Enter the keyword or argument you want to use. This example uses the 172.16.0.1 IP address.
Enter ? to display what you must enter next on the command line. In this example, you must enter an IP subnet mask.
A <cr> is not displayed; therefore, you must enter additional keywords or arguments to complete the command.
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0 ?
secondary Make this IP address a secondary address
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0
Enter the IP subnet mask. This example uses the 255.255.255.0 IP subnet mask.
Enter ? to display what you must enter next on the command line. In this example, you can enter the secondary keyword, or you can press Enter.
A <cr> is displayed; you can press Enter to complete the command, or you can enter another keyword.
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.0.1 255.255.255.0
In this example, Enter is pressed to complete the command.
Almost every configuration command has a no form. In general, use the no form to disable a function. Use the command without the no keyword to reenable a disabled function or to enable a function that is disabled by default. For example, IP routing is enabled by default. To disable IP routing, use the no ip routing command; to reenable IP routing, use the ip routing command. The Cisco IOS software command reference publications provide the complete syntax for the configuration commands and describe what the no form of a command does.
Configuration commands also can have a default form, which returns the command settings to the default values. Most commands are disabled by default, so in such cases using the default form has the same result as using the no form of the command. However, some commands are enabled by default and have variables set to certain default values. In these cases, the default form of the command enables the command and sets the variables to their default values. The Cisco IOS software command reference publications describe the effect of the default form of a command if the command functions differently than the no form.
Use the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command to save your configuration changes to the startup configuration so that the changes will not be lost if the software reloads or a power outage occurs. For example:
Router# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config
Building configuration...
It might take a minute or two to save the configuration. After the configuration has been saved, the following output appears:
On most platforms, this task saves the configuration to NVRAM. On the Class A Flash file system platforms, this task saves the configuration to the location specified by the CONFIG_FILE environment variable. The CONFIG_FILE variable defaults to NVRAM.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1)T and later releases, you can search and filter the output of show and more commands. This functionality is useful if you need to sort through large amounts of output or if you want to exclude output that you need not see.
To use this functionality, enter a show or more command followed by the "pipe" character (|); one of the keywords begin, include, or exclude; and a regular expression on which you want to search or filter (the expression is case-sensitive):
command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression
The output matches certain lines of information in the configuration file. The following example illustrates how to use output modifiers with the show interface command when you want the output to include only lines in which the expression "protocol" appears:
Router# show interface | include protocol
FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up
Serial4/0 is up, line protocol is up
Serial4/1 is up, line protocol is up
Serial4/2 is administratively down, line protocol is down
Serial4/3 is administratively down, line protocol is down
For more information on the search and filter functionality, refer to the "Using the Command-Line Interface" chapter in the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets consisting of software images that support specific platforms. The feature sets available for a specific platform depend on which Cisco IOS software images are included in a release. To identify the set of software images available in a specific release or to find out if a feature is available in a given Cisco IOS software image, see the following sections:
Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to quickly determine which Cisco IOS software images support a particular set of features and which features are supported in a particular Cisco IOS image.
Feature Navigator is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To access Feature Navigator, you must have an account on Cisco.com. If you have forgotten or lost your account information, e-mail the Contact Database Administration group at email@example.com. If you do not have an account on Cisco.com, go to http://www.cisco.com/register and follow the directions to establish an account.
Feature Navigator is updated when major Cisco IOS software releases and technology releases occur. You can access Feature Navigator at the following URL:
Cisco IOS software releases include release notes that provide the following information:
•Platform support information
•Memory recommendations
•Microcode support information
•Feature set tables
•Feature descriptions
•Open and resolved severity 1 and 2 caveats for all platforms
Release notes are intended to be release-specific for the most current release, and the information provided in these documents may not be cumulative in providing information about features that first appeared in previous releases.

The Mt Washington Valley Ice Fest will be here before you know it. Make your plans now!
And for the one of you who doubts the definition of risk, I will let MIT explain the concept:
Quote from: ridgerunner on March 25, 2013, 02:31:52 PMAnd for the one of you who doubts the definition of risk, I will let MIT explain the concept:In the equation they said: "If both the probability and severity can be quantified, the risk is simply the product: risk = probability * severity". What was the probability that Jamie was in an avalanche in his story. We can not quantify it? What was the severity of being in the avalanche, some people survive at an avalanche. So, both the probability and the severity CAN NOT be quantify in climbing. Your equation is for management, not for climbing. So, you think that because you said that marijuana is dangerous for your health and you smoke a lot younger that your child won't take drugs? (note I am allergic to any combustion of leaves or green bark, I take a chance to dye if I smoke). The dream to be in the mountain after reading the story of jamie will be greater, but your child will have less knowledge because you bring them in a situation where you had fun, but it is not for your child.The definition of risk is: A situation involving exposure to danger. One can climb everest and will not be in danger for all his trip. It is what tradmand said. He was soloing standard and was safer than some new rope up climber. In your text, I prefer the probabilistic risk assesment (PRA) as a tool to evaluate the risk:1. Identify hazards and initiating events2. Identify mitigating safety measures3. Trace possible chains of events4. Quantify all individual probabilities and severities5. Aggregate probabilities and severities, and calculate risks For avalanches, identify hazards could be to identify the avalanche bed and identify the initiating events could be trigger by human, if it is it will depend on the direction that the human take, or natural avalanche, 2- identify mitigating safety measures: don't be under it or cross it very fast or at certain time and hours or... You can use the PRA to analyse an accident. Many times, you will understand that the person never do a probabilistic risk assesment, but just do the "state of the art method" without thinking.
It wasn't Jamie that got swept off in an avalanche Luke.It was me.He dug me out. (thanx JC)
Quote from: kenreville on March 26, 2013, 07:23:54 AMIt wasn't Jamie that got swept off in an avalanche Luke.It was me.He dug me out. (thanx JC)glad that you came back safe. But it is a proove of what I was saying: the probability and severity can't be quantified.I wrote a very good reply. But I washed it out by mistake. And I don't have time/courage to take an hour to rewrite it. Chriss Bonington, 78 in 2012, exposure...danger...tactician and safe leader. and many other at the bottom of the cliff (cote, hurley and other that I don't remember the name who look the cliff with sadness as there relative asked then to stay on the ground. probability of risk assesment will help you to choose between many option, not save your life when you already was in problem. alluring and compelling...it is not what I like in climbing. I am more from the star treck generation:" Its five year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." One day I saw the brown eye of a peregrine falcon flewing just at ten feet of me. the yosemite valley from el capitan, the diedral in la pomme d'or, the strength of nature in white out at huntington gully...it is not danger, as I trained for that, that bring me there but pure beauty.

All cash buying hits a record in 2012: Parts of Florida see investors buying up 70 percent of all home sales. California all cash buying hit a record in 2012 at over 32 percent of sales.
The amount of investor buying hit a record in 2012. Last year for California over 32 percent of all homes sold for all cash based on property records where no mortgage was recorded with the sale. Some of these homes went to owner occupied sales but the vast majority based on "absentee buyers" signifies that the majority went to investors. The sustainability of investor demand is contingent on the perception of future prices gains. The trend from 2007 has been unmistakable and this is a countrywide phenomenon. Talking to various investors, some are pulling out of certain markets given that yields are weak. Some are still buying into momentum with the intention of selling the place shortly given that rental yields are lower. Keep in mind these are all cash buyers, not mortgaged buyers so lower interest rates only incentivize their actions if there are lesser investment options in the market. I would imagine the rising stock market would pull some investment money back into Wall Street. The all cash buying trend is significant but after five years, will this continue into the next few years?
All cash buyers across the US
Below highlights a dramatic shift in the makeup of home buyers across many markets. The perception in the press is that all this home buying is somehow occurring with regular buyers diving back in. That is part of the story but not the critical component of what is occurring. Keep in mind that you also have a large portion of purchases going to FHA insured buyers that can hardly muster a down payment. In California, mixing in the all cash buyers with FHA insured buyers makes up well over half the market. Never in the history of California has this been the case. So let us take a look at what happened after 2007:
In 2002 and 2003 all cash buying in places like Phoenix and Orlando hovered around 10 percent. In 2012 over 50 percent of all purchases went to all cash buyers while in Phoenix it was closer to 45 percent. Sacramento hit a record with 34 percent of purchases going to all cash buyers. This figure almost aligns with the 32 percent for California overall.
What is more telling with the chart above, is how limited your regular home buyer has become. For example, from 2002 to 2007 this segment made up about 90 percent of all purchases. But given the lack of real income growth, many bought homes with maximum leverage mortgages. After 5,000,000 completed foreclosures and a few million more in the next couple of years, the game has shifted. After 2007 a big part of the market was driven by investor demand and has only grown since then. In some markets, investor demand is the dominant force.
It also seems that with the large number of foreclosures, a slow transition from the over leveraged buyers to investors has happened. That is, like trading cards, these foreclosed homes have slowly ended up in the hands of investors from owner-occupied buyers. How so? Housing starts completely collapsed in 2007 so most sales were for existing properties. Only now are we seeing housing starts pick up:
Today, to qualify for a mortgage you need to document income. However, if 30 to 50 percent of the market is buying with all cash there is no need for verification. Next, you have another 25 to 30 percent of purchases going to low down payment FHA insured buyers that can only afford a very minimal down payment. The FHA to make up for this gap has increased mortgage insurance premiums dramatically.
Take a look at certain areas in Florida:
Source: Calculated Risk
In parts of Florida over 70 percent of purchases are going to all cash buyers. In Las Vegas it was 55 percent. This is an incredible amount of volume but also speaks to the unintended consequences of artificially low interest rates. Most investment property owners that are in it for the long-haul understand that overtime, your ROI is not as high as you would expect when you first purchase a property. Many over time come to realize that anywhere between 40 to 50 percent of your gross rents will go to other items besides the PI in your payment. But for the all cash buyers, this amounts to 40 to 50 percent of the gross rents which will severely alter the return on investment.
For example, say you buy a place for $200,000 that rents for $1,500. After one year, gross rents would be $18,000. A simple calculation would find:
$18,000 / $200,000 = 9% return
This is not bad but the S&P 500 returned over 13 percent last year merely by holding onto a index traded ETF. Now run the numbers after we account for NOI:
$9,000 / $200,000 = 4.5% return
That is a big difference. Keep in mind that a big part of this money is coming from large investment funds so they are capped out on how much tax benefits they can claim on their rental properties. For anyone that has owned rental properties you know that you will have expenses from property management, vacancies, repairs, taxes, occasional bad tenants, legal fees, and other items like replacing a roof or blown out water heater so over time this does cut into your profits. And this is not a passive activity. So many of these all cash buyers appear to be new to the game and time will tell how those yields will look in a longer term perspective.
Some of the much bigger income (i.e., hedge funds) are looking to put these rental payments into some form of security. This is where those added costs will show up over time:
"(Fool) Private-equity firms have been buying up distressed single-family homes for several months now, using pots of money to grab large lots of foreclosed properties which they can fix up and rent, sometimes to the very people who used to own them. Obviously, this venture is turning a profit: Not only are more companies getting involved in the landlord business, but Wall Street is working on a way to turn the income from these rental homes into a new investment vehicle: the rental-backed security."
Given how high the volume is from investors, you have to wonder what will happen once yields begin to drop down to Earth. Will investors fight over each other for a 4.5 percent return? For markets where investor buying is over 30 percent, will the organic buyer make up for the gap once investor money slows down? That is something that we are going to find out over the next few years. If you are wondering why you are losing out on bidding on certain homes, there is a good chance that you are contending with all cash purchases.

Jennifer Lawrence + 'X-Men' Costars Talk Her 'Sexiest Woman' Award [VIDEO]
Jennifer Lawrence recently won the top spot on FHM's list of 'Sexiest Women in the World.' JLaw and a few of her 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' costars were asked what they thought of the victory, and unsurprisingly, Jennifer's opinion differed quite a bit from the others'!
The 23-year-old actress held up her title at the 'X-Men' red carpet premiere by wearing a sexy textured blue gown that flattered her curves. When asked about her 'Sexiest' label, the actress whipped out her usual self-deprecating humor.
"The lie heard around the world," she said to Entertainment Tonight of the win. "I know the truth. I know Beyoncé is the queen of the world."
While we agree that Beyonce is pretty amazing, we're siding with her 'X-Men' costars on this one — they all deemed her plenty worthy of the award.
"She's amazing. Talented, sexy, beautiful, funny. All those things," Shawn Ashmore said of the actress.
Hugh Jackman added, "I think she is anything in the world. That woman is extraordinary."
Ellen Page succinctly agreed with the rest of the cast that Jennifer is "pretty sexy," while James Marsden got a little more detailed in his response.
"She's normal," he explained. "She's a normal chick who trips over stuff and blows her nose. And she's beautiful, on top of it."
Michael Fassbender seemed completely confident when he agreed that Jennifer's title "makes total sense."
"It's her looks, it's her attitude, it's her talent," he went on. "You know, she's Jennifer Lawrence."
That she is, and really, that's all the reasoning we need!

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College & State University athletic department and director Wendell Staton are proud to announce the hiring of Maurice Smith Friday as the sixth women's basketball coach in school history. An assistant coach for four seasons for the Bobcat women, Smith replaces John Carrick, a 27-year veteran of the Bobcat sidelines who retired earlier this month.
"I'm excited for our program and I'm excited for Coach Smith," said Staton. "Mo represents what any employer would want-he is a high character person with a great work ethic and value system. He has an impeccable reputation on and off campus and will provide outstanding leadership to our student-athletes and the Georgia College community."
Smith has spent over 10 years at Georgia College, arriving first as a player in 1999 after two seasons at Wallace Community College in Alabama. He was an All-Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Second Team selection in 2001 for the Bobcats, after playing a sixth-man role on the best team in program history, the 1999-2000 Elite Eight squad.
He then joined the coaching ranks, first as a student assistant for men's basketball in 2003-04 while pursuing his master's degree. He then continued on as a graduate assistant coach for two seasons from 2004-06. Smith moved to the women's side the next season in 2006-07 as the assistant coach and has worked with Bobcat women's basketball program since.
"Georgia College has been a part of my life for the last decade, serving as a training ground for me as a player, person and professional," said Smith. "For me to get this job is the ultimate privilege. Outside of basketball, my family is rooted here, I met my wife here, played here, got my bachelor's and master's here and to know I'm going to start my head coaching career here a bit longer is outstanding."
Success has followed Smith at Georgia College, as a player on the top team in program history in 1999-2000, the team went 25-6, winning the PBC Championship and the NCAA South Atlantic Region title. As a graduate assistant coach on the men's staff in 2005-06, Smith helped guide the team to a 22-9 record, another PBC Championship and a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16.
While with the women's program, the team record has been a combined 72-44 (.621), including two 20-win seasons in 2006-07 and 2009-10. The 2006-07 team advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16, while this past season, the Bobcats won the PBC West Division Championship.
"I'm so fortunate that the right situation was in place wherever I went, each coach I've worked with has had a system in place that was successful, and I was able to learn from that," Smith revealed. "Coach (Terry) Sellers and Coach Carrick both bring different coaching styles to the table. Both have been extremely successful, and I hope to take pieces from both and put them into my plan."
Smith finished his undergraduate degree in 2001, adding a master's in 2006. Originally from College Park, Ga., he finished high school in Americus, Ga., Smith married the former Martine Thomas, also a Georgia College graduate. The two live in Milledgeville and have two daughters, Jaiden (5 years) and Olivia (3 years).
The department will conduct a national search for Smith's replacement at assistant coach, beginning immediately.
The GCSU Department of Athletics, winners of the 2008-09 PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Georgia College prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at Twitter.com username GCSUSID for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCSUBobcats.com to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GCSU Athletics Hall of Fame.

Glucocorticoid medicines (such as budesonide and dexamethasone) decrease
inflammation and swelling in the body. Some children who have croup symptoms get this medicine to help prevent croup from getting worse.
Glucocorticoids have been shown to work well for children who
have croup symptoms. Children usually get relief within 6 hours of having the
medicine. And serious side effects are rare when one dose is given.

Netflix Honors Man Who Watched 252 Movies In A Month With His Own Day
We recently detailed Mark Malkoff's marathon attempt to squeeze in as many Netflix movies as possible within a 30-day time frame. And it looks like we weren't the only ones watching, as Mark was invited to Netflix HQ to celebrate his data cap-crushing achievement.
Mark screened his video for the Netflix staff, where he said is biggest regret is that taking suggestions from the Internet for what movies he should watch.
"Vanilla Ice's movie Cool as Ice should have a category on Netflix: 'Not Suitable for Anyone,'" he joked.
He also got to dork out for a few minutes with Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, to whom Mark confessed that he hadn't been able to watch any movies following the 30-day binge.
Speaking of which, those 400+ hours of streaming movies ate up a considerable amount of Mark's goodwill with his Internet provider.
"My ISP hates me!" he told Hastings.
"Going to Netflix, I felt like Charlie going into Wonka's factory," said Mark."It made watching 29.4 hours of closing credits in a month almost worth it."

Grant Funds Help Youth Learn Environmental Skills at Lowell, Mass. Water Treatment Plant
Release Date: 08/26/2014
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
Boston – EPA grant funding has helped facilitate the opportunity for five area youths to learn critical environmental protection techniques at the Lowell, Mass. Regional Wastewater Utility. The program has occurred for 23 out of the past 25 summers. Using the EPA grant of $43,000, part of which is used for this summer educational opportunity, the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC) oversees the program.
Since 1990, EPA's Youth and the Environment Program has focused on introducing economically disadvantaged inner city youth to career opportunities in the environmental field. The program promotes environmental education and provides high school students with increased awareness of protecting the environment and water quality within their own communities.
At the Lowell Regional Wastewater Utility this summer, five local high school students work at several "stations" (e.g. laboratory, pretreatment, maintenance, process control, etc.) on a rotational basis so that they are exposed to some of the many facets involved with the proper operation of a wastewater treatment plant on an everyday basis. The program has provided the students with an understanding of chemical risks, minimizing the use of toxic substances, public health threats, and proper safety procedures working at a wastewater treatment plant and within the collection system. Students become familiar with potential hazards as they relate to environmental management, treatment and pumping, and water quality monitoring. The students also participate in field trips related to science and water quality, along with college career counseling.
"EPA is very gratified to work so closely for so long with NEIWPCC, the Lowell Regional Wastewater Utility and the Career Center of Lowell to make this summer job program available for economically disadvantaged youth," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "This innovative program helps introduce young people to a possible career path that is also a great benefit to their local community."

An Offering to Hymen
Sir Alfred Gilbert, R. A. (1854-1934)
Bronze with rich brown patination on an ebonized wood socle
11 inches; (29 cm.)
Other views
According to Richard Dorment, whose detailed catalogue entry also relates the complex issues involving the dating, multiple versions, and exhibition history of this work, it presents "a pubescent girl [who] presents two gifts to the god of Marriage: a tiny, winged statuette representing Anteros, and a silver goblet (in some casts a sprig of hawthorne). The circular base on which she stands, intrinsic to the statue and decorated with classical grotesques, suggests an altar or the approach to one.
"On one Ievel, the child in An Offering to Hymen should be compared to the more-or-less unclothed ladies who afforded the Victorian public a glimpse of thc high life in ancient Rome in Alma-Tadema's classical genre subjects. Or she might be placed with Burne-Jones's stable of nymphets, who tremble on the brink of sexual awareness (Venus Epithalamia, 1871; the Fogg Art Museum), and even make sacrifices to this very god (The Altar of Hymen, 1874; Private collection). But [it] is much more than that, for unlike Alma-Tadema's or Burne-Jones's sophisticated maidens, Gilbert's shy little girl stands in a pose that is awkward and stiff. The statue is thus more a thoughtful study of innocence and inexperience than an exercise in Burne-Jonesian innuendo" (Victorian High Renaissance, p.178.)

"This story becomes less about an older woman educating a younger man in the ways of love, and becomes more about two people with emotional baggage trying to build a better life for themselves," she explained, "and learning about the importance of putting the past behind them through the positive power of love."
She's currently working on the second of her Gods of Love series of novellas about the erotes (aspects of Eros) and their interactions in modern-day society. Aphrodite Calling is the story of Himeros, god of sexual desire, and Gina, a career woman in desperate need of Him's unique brand of sexual assistance. She's also working on the third book, tentatively called Sex Club Secrets, about Anteros, the god of requited/unrequited love. The first book in the series, Platinum Passion, was released in December and is about a long-term marriage in need of a boost, which it gets from Pothos, the god of sexual yearning.
Jennifer has always written, ever since she was young, but it wasn't until she was at university and someone dared her to write a romance that she started taking writing more seriously.
"Of course that first attempt was rejected, but I had positive feedback about my unique writing voice. For years I dabbled in writing as a hobby until after my divorce, when I finally felt it might be possible to reach for my dreams, so I rewrote an erotic romance called Seducing Serena and submitted it to Red Sage. They bought it for their Secrets anthology (Volume 28), and it was when I got that trade paperback copy of Volume 28 in my hand that I finally felt like a 'real' writer," she said.
"What are the biggest public misconceptions about erotic romance?" I wondered.
"I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that erotica and erotic romance are the same thing. In my mind, they are not. I write erotic romance, and I define it as sex with an emotional connection, where the protagonists have the possibility of a happy ever after ending. So it is never sex just for the sake of sex. The emotional connection and development of a sustainable relationship – where the focus is on the 'romance' – is what distinguishes erotic romance from erotica or pornography."
For Jennifer, the characters definitely came first. She usually gets a strong sense of the two—three, in a ménage—main characters and what their first interactions might be. She then sits down and starts writing.
"The characters are actually so strong in my head by that point that they usually take me on the journey, rather than the other way around," she explained. "Quite often I'll get a sense of where the story is going next and go to write it that way, only to find the characters saying and doing other things that lead me in a new direction. That is one of the things I love best about the writing process. It surprises even me where we end up sometimes!"
Jennifer has set up a small section of the bedroom as a study area. She has a new chair with lumbar support, which is great for her back. A small window looks out on two of the neighbor's houses and lots of gorgeous, green trees.
"Green is my favorite color, and I love the view here," she told me. "It is a sunny day, with a gentle breeze tickling the leaves – very restful. There is always coffee – long and black. My cat is never far away – she's either curled up behind the laptop screen, or sitting on the desk looking at me as I type, or near my feet. Actually, to be technically correct, she belongs to my two daughters – or they to her – but I love her hanging out with me in my writing space!"
She needs peace and quiet when she writes, rather than the music other authors use to evoke a mood. Her best times to write are when the rest of the family are either out or asleep—she loves those times.
Jennifer is from Melbourne, Australia, and she lives out toward the Dandenong Ranges to the east of the city. From there, they have access to the city, shops, nightlife, and restaurants, but also easy access to the hills, where they can enjoy cafes, art, nature, and greenery.
"I do love my greenery!" she reminded me. "There are beaches if we want them, weather that offers an interesting four seasons in a day (and if you're from Melbourne, you know how to dress in layers and peel them off/on/off!). But most of all, it is familiar. It is where I was born, where I grew up, and my family are here. Love it!"
"What is the most embarrassing thing your mother ever did to you?" I asked.
"I'm sure there are lots of things I could answer here, if I cast my mind back, but one that quickly comes to mind is how she used to cut our hair, to try and save money. Instead of taking us to a hairdresser, she would sit my sisters and I in the kitchen at home, plonk a bowl onto our heads and cut. Oh…my…God! The end result was hideous. My fringe was about 1cm long (and I have a high forehead, too!). And then we had to go out in public like that. Actually, I think she only did that once, come to think of it. But once was definitely enough!"
"What's the weirdest thing you've ever done in the name of research?" I asked.
"I visited a sex shop a couple of times with my long-suffering partner in tow, as I needed to learn a bit more about the world of sex toys and who might actually visit such a place. No way was I going there on my own! I imagined a room full of sleazy guys in raincoats, but it actually wasn't like that! There was a business-like female shop assistant who was most patient with my questions (e.g. How the hell would you use something like this? And why?). It was an interesting and very informative visit. Or two! And my partner thoroughly enjoyed himself," she said with a smile.
Finally, I asked, "What advice would you give a new writer just starting out?"
"Write the story you want to write, and don't try and write for a particular publishing line, or what you think someone else wants. If you look for a publisher after you've written it, you have a better chance of staying true to yourself and that unique little voice inside you. Also, connect. With other writers, through Yahoo, social media, local writer's groups and support organisations. Writing is an isolating activity, and it is important to feel that connection with others who truly understand what you do. Most of all, don't give up. Keep striving for that dream and one day, you'll get there!"

Garlic Groove Goin' On
My doorbell rings multiple times during the day, and usually immediately afterward, I hear the familiar thud of boxes being dropped at my door. If the doorbell rings twice, that's my cue that I need to stop what I'm doing and sign for said packages. Packages that aren't to me. For you see, my hubbyman receives almost daily deliveries to our home, and it's an inside joke between myself, the mailman, UPS man, DHL man, and FedEx guy that once again no one has sent ME anything in the mail.
Of course, I do occasionally receive something via Amazon, but certainly not on a daily basis. So yesterday, as I was teaching my brilliant son the thrills of mastering the distributive property in math, I stopped what I was doing to go sign for yet more packages. (Um, I'm not being sarcastic regarding the math ... I do find algebraic formulas enjoyable. My son, though, would most likely perform an exaggerated eye roll right about now. Anyway ... back to the package delivery ...) It wasn't the usual delivery guy, so there was no jovial banter. I signed, juggled the packages inside, and with an eye roll of my own, placed them in the "stuff for hubbyman spot". After brushing off my arms, I returned to my teacher chair and continued on without any more thought regarding packages that are never to me!
Fast forward to last evening, hubbyman was cheerfully going through his packages, when he comes into the other room where I was and tosses a package on the counter stating, "This one isn't for me." Wha??? Is it something for the kids? Nope. Is it, could it be, perhaps, do I dare hope ... Is is something for moi???
Oh happy day! It is something for me, something that I ordered weeks ago, and although I knew it would be arriving soon, it's pending delivery had slipped my overtaxed brain. It was ... are you ready ... a package full of garlic that I ordered.
I hope you don't feel let down! I was thrilled! The garlic in the stores this summer have been woefully awful. I grew some garlic in my garden, but it's been long gone. Even the farmers market this year has not had its usual plethora of garlic, plus the lone garlic vendor hasn't had a booth for a couple years now.
Do you like garlic? I fear I'm a garlic snob. It's just that garlic is a well-loved part of my cuisine, and I appreciate good garlic much like I appreciate good quality cheese. Good garlic can make a dish; whereas bad garlic can make waste of your culinary efforts. In my quest to find at least decent garlic, I contacted local farmers and vendors who could supply me with my favorite bulb. I heard the same thing over and over as I hopefully begged, "Please kind sir or madam, (*sniffle*) won't you sell an Italian girl some of your delicious garden grown garlic?" But alas, all my inquiries were met with, "Sorry, we're sold out already." "Sorry, we don't grow it anymore." "Sorry it's been a bad year for garlic." UGH! SOB! I turned to the internet and found more local sources, but alas I heard "We're completely sold out." over and over. DOUBLE UGH! By now I've dug my heels in and have quite stubbornly decided that I'm going to get my garlic if I have to drive all the way to Gilroy, California to get it! (Insert deep heaving breaths and envision me emphasizing that last statement with waving arms!)
There is an end to this long saga. I found some sources in Arizona and Texas who although they didn't have any in stock at the time of my order, they could commit to mailing me some at their next harvest and not charge me an arm and a leg. The harvest occurred last week, and I rec'd my garlic yesterday.
Just look at my beauties! I ordered a variety pack consisting of mild through very spicy. Here's a synopsis:
Mild: Georgia Crystal: a lovely, mellow garlic that would be great in salsa.
Medium: Chesnok Red: This guy often wins "best of taste" garlic competitions. It's considered a rich flavored mild to medium heat garlic.
Hot: German White: This guy can pack a punch. It has loads of flavor, and is considered rather hot when raw. (I don't eat it raw; it's awesome cooked.)
Very Hot: Villarney Red. These cloves are very strong and spicy flavored, and is very hot raw. (I don't eat this raw either. It's terrific cooked.)
What better way to test my new lovelies than to make a quick pasta dish with a garlic butter sauce for lunch? Check this out:
Paula's Got Her Garlic Groove Goin' On Pasta
Angel Hair Pasta - enough for two servings
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small zucchini sliced in half rounds (you know I love my half-rounds)
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced (I used the German White)
1 small jalapeno pepper, sliced thin (or other hot pepper - my jalapenos are sadly VERY MILD. Great flavor, but no zip in the heat department this year.)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly ground salt
Freshly grated pecorino romano cheese
Fresh basil, chiffonade sliced.
Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, in a small nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. As soon as it is very hot, add the zucchini and "grill" until nicely seared yet still crunchy. Remove from pan, leaving as much olive oil as possible. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. As soon as it melts and starts to sizzle, remove from heat and stir in the garlic and jalapeno. They should sizzle nicely off the heat. Let the mixture sit and sizzle off heat for about 3 minutes. Drain the pasta, and immediately add the zucchini and olive oil/butter/garlic/pepper mixture. Toss. Season liberally with red chili flakes, black pepper, and salt. Top with fresh basil and pecorino romano. Serve. Sigh. Smile.
This was soooo good. The garlic flavor held up to the pasta, but didn't overpower it. Surprisingly, it was not too spicy. The pasta really mutes heat, and pairs beautifully with all the flavors. I was tempted to add some capers or sliced olives to the mixture, but my goal was to taste/test the garlic, so I left it out.
I'm looking forward to testing out the other garlic bulbs. I'm sitting here with a dreamy smile just thinking about it. Guess the ghouls and vampires will have to look elsewhere for their fix now that I've got my garlic groove goin' on!

I have to admit I didn't realize there were that many varieties of garlic either. I love the addition of fresh garlic to most dishes. This looks like a great pasta.

I know what you mean about garlic being scarce this year, my store has either been out of it, or what they had was past its best. But just look at those little bursters.
Great job with the pasta too.

We love garlic, but with my dearly beloved's newfound habit of breaking out in hives when I cook with it, or use even more than a dusting of garlic powder, it's banned from our kitchen *sob*!

Now that's a "stinken" post. I wonder though how you will keep your garlic fresh. I usually buy a package of 3 and they are sprouting before I get the chance to use them all.Any suggestions:D

I'm a garlic lover, but had no idea there was such thing as "bad" garlic! That was one of my requirements in a husband - he had to love garlic and onions - everything else didn't matter as much!! I guess I need to start ordering so I can become a garlic snob too - nothing wrong with that!!

Gourmet garlic, wow! We have garlic. And smoked garlic. I wish I could try them all out.

Hi Everyone,
It's so nice to hear from you all :-)
Bridgett: It really was fun to get this package. Too bad the regular mailman wasn't there to witness history!
Mediterranean Kiwi: The garlic around here this year is just terrible. I can't tell you how many bulbs that I bought, which looked fine on the outside, were awful, musty and old on the inside. Blech!
Not Trying For A Boy: I just smile every time I see your blog name! This garlic is good eats.
Peter: I think you are on to something there! I propose a toast ... garlic toast that is :-) ...to world peace! Let the world unite via food.
Pam: I used some more today and my kitchen smelled sooooo good. I'm so glad I took the chance and ordered this stuff. I'm really pleased with the flavor and quality.
Esi: Garlic is just soooo good, it's hard not to sneak in more of the good stuff!
Noble Pig: Ah, this is just the tip of the iceberg! There are many more varieties ... I can hear them calling me!
PGL: I love using fresh garlic. It's actually more mellow than powder ... I won't even consider the stuff in the jar. Hey, have you ever let garlic plants grow and flower?
Jan: That's a bummer that the garlic in your area isn't great either. Come on over and I'll share some of my bounty!
Lisa: Thanks! The garlic was just wonderful in this pasta dish.
Linda: Ah, desperate times call for desperate measures. I literally couldn't find garlic. I'd have to buy multiple heads hoping to find a few good cloves. Finally, I realized that ordering them was cheaper!
Proud Italian: Yep, I love good garlic. Not STRONG make you sweat garlic for days on end garlic, but good flavorful cloves to enhance everything. What can I say ... we are a passionate people!
Marjie: Oh No! Garlic, too? I was thinking it was onions. Poor fella. Well, good thing he has you to feed him so well despite the restrictions.
Bellini Valli: I live in Oregon, and our weather here is damp, so I always keep my garlic on the counter where air can circulate. I've had good luck (except for all the gross bulbs I had this year). My grandma and mom always kept theirs in the cellar/basement where it was dark and cool. Anybody else have any ideas? I can ask Nita from Throwback at Trapper Creek. She's a goddess when it comes to all things from the garden.
Grace: Your note reminded me of a dinner party we went to YEARS ago where my husband ate some nasty garlic bread. The hostess just spooned raw garlic into butter and served it over warm sliced bread. He just about gagged ... and then smelled of garlic for a week.
Jeena: Thanks! I really tasted great. No one flavor overpowered the other. It was a satisfying meal!
Cheryl: It was sooo good, and ordering it, although not the quickest method, ended up be a great thing!
Jan: Thanks! There are tons more varieties. I want to learn more, too! I want to grow more of my own as well!.
Deborah: Great criteria! The garlic around here really was off kilter this year hence the ordering. What I ordered is so much better than anything I've had, with the exception of my late grandma's home grown varieties.
Hola Gloria: Yeah, a fellow garlic lover! I wish you success if you grow it. It's a little tricky to grow it around here because of all the dampness for most of the year, but it can be done with a little care.
Pam: Did your CSA folks supply you with good garlic this year? I remember drooling over all those glorious veggies you enjoyed this summer.
Dee: This garlic is just terrific. I cooked with it again today and was just so pleased with the terrific flavor! YUM!

Organizing the Little Stuff
Over the years my collection of crafting supplies has expanded...shocker. To keep me most inspired -and actually using what I have- I've found that being really organized helps. If I can easily find something and actually see it, I'm more likely to use it. Ikea's Kassett series has been helpful on more than one occasion, especially for larger items like writing sets, paper, stickers and blank cards. I also use a large one as a 'memory box', a place to keep brochures, cards, ticket stubs and other memorabilia that hasn't made it into a scrapbook or journal yet.
My leftover jam jars are my container of choice for smaller stuff. They're free and great for corralling little stuff like trim, notions and small scraps. I like how the jam jars contain things, keep them visible, and are easy to move around to see what else is on the shelf.
I like having things in separate containers so I can pull them out all at once and really see what my options are. How do you organize your supplies? Do you keep most of them in containers like I do? or are you a drawer and shelf kind of person?

Too funny... I have the same green Ikea boxes!
Tja, I have been needing to re-organize my office for quite some time now, but I have run out out creative ways to do it... that and space to store things. Oh, how I wish that knocking out a wall and expanding would be as easing as baking a cake. (and as cheap)

I'm all about organizing too. :) Shocker. For my daughter's room, we took old mason jars and cut out cute scrap paper circles to put in the tops of jars. The paper coordinates with the colors in her room: aquas and reds and blues. In the jars she keeps her eraser collection, shells, rocks, friendship bracelets she's made, etc.

Me too! I cannot organize enough and I have boxes for EVERYTHING! :-) But I think you probably already knew that about me too!

Fancy seeing you at Jules' WMP! :) Love the KASSETT boxes too, but I hate putting them together. Screws? Crazy. Anyway, love your use of the jam jars.
- March 29, 2012 at 1:50 PM
- Carrie said...
I'm a bit of a mixer, I suppose. Loving those jam jars and how you have re-used them. But re: Monica's comment - do you really have to use screws for those KASSETT boxes? That's a bit crazy (though I do love IKEA).
- March 29, 2012 at 2:52 PM
- Juliette said...
@Carrie: yep, they do have screws, but they're almost like little screw-on-cap sorts of things. If you assemble a bunch at once it can get annoying, but then again, you only do it once and then it's over! =)

I have a ridiculous amount of those jam jars because I think they're too pretty to throw away! When I get ready to organize my craft space, I'll have to remember to pull them out. Great idea!

Jam jars are the best, especially the ones with the red plaid lids!
- March 30, 2012 at 5:41 PM
- May said...
So many containers! The labels on the boxes are pretty and such a good idea. Part of the reason my craft supplies are scattered everywhere is so I can see what I have got. This is a pretty solution.
- March 30, 2012 at 5:55 PM
- Lizzie said...
Aww... I think I need you to be here, along with the boxes. I am not so organised. I have storage containers, but don't seem to be able to easily choose the right one for the right job..
But jars - yes, they are great. I have some old glass yoghourt jars, with plastic tops, where I keep buttons by colour, beads and little bits like chipboard flowers, little die-cuts, metal embellishments... And larger jam-jars, like yours, with mixed vintage buttons, plus ribbons by colour; then some mason-style jars, with larger collections of ribbon. If everywhere else was so organised (rather than just that one little set of shelves), my life would be soo tidy!
Good plan to use a jar for oddments of fabric... never thought of that - was using an envelope. Hello, spare jar, where are you?

BIRMINGHAM — The former chairman of Alabama's Democratic Party launched a new foundation Monday to raise money and recruit candidates to combat the overwhelming dominance of Republicans in the state.
BIRMINGHAM — The former chairman of Alabama's Democratic Party launched a new foundation Monday to raise money and recruit candidates to combat the overwhelming dominance of Republicans in the state.
Mark Kennedy staged an event to announce the formation of the Alabama Democratic Majority as his resignation as party chairman officially took effect.
Kennedy, a former member of the Alabama Supreme Court, said the new group is a foundation that will "stand with the party," not act as a party on its own.
But he spared little criticism of the current Democratic structure in Alabama, saying Democrats haven't done enough to bring in supporters or appeal to a wide electoral base across the state.
"We will fight to make the Alabama Democratic Party representative of a broader spectrum of all Democrats," Kennedy told about 100 supporters in a downtown building.
Republicans hold every statewide office and have super-majorities in both houses of the Legislature, allowing them to virtually pass legislation at will.
Kennedy's break with the party structure followed months of inter-party squabbling over budgets, debt, staff and control. Kennedy has been at odds with longtime party vice chairman Joe Reed, the head of the party's black caucus and a longtime leader in the Alabama Education Association.
Reed said the party's entire three-person staff bolted with Kennedy, leaving other party leaders to pay overdue bills and past-due rent on the party headquarters in Montgomery. Reed said the party could wind up in worse shape financially if the foundation siphons away funds.
"I think he's really raising money to run for governor or raising money for some of his friends," Reed said in a telephone interview.
Kennedy, son-in-law of the late Gov. George C. Wallace, denied having any interest in the governorship or any other elective office.
Republicans said the split showed the weakness of Alabama's once-dominant Democratic Party.
"The problem with the Alabama Democrat Party is not its leadership but it's their failed policies of the past and lack of ideas for the future," state GOP chairman Bill Armistead said in a statement.
Doug Jones, a Democratic lawyer who served as U.S. attorney for north Alabama under former President Bill Clinton, said he was hopeful Kennedy's group would breathe new ideas and life into the party rather than divide it.
"It's worth the risk," said Jones. "Frankly we can't go much lower. We have no statewide offices."
Supporters of the new group include former Democratic Gov. Jim Folsom and his wife, Marsha Folsom. The ex-governor had a scheduling conflict and didn't attend, but his wife spoke on Kennedy's behalf.
"This is a new day for our beloved state," she said to cheers.
The GOP said more than 50 state Democrats switched to the Republican Party since last year. With state government firmly in control, the party is concentrating more on local offices where Democrats still hold sway.
"The number one target for the Alabama Republican Party at the county level next year will be office of sheriff," said Armistead. "We are currently recruiting candidates to run in the counties where the Democrats hold this office and where Republicans have a record of winning elections."

World Bulletin/News Desk
The United States and its allies are preparing for naval exercises in the Gulf energy export hub that will include minesweeping and escorting commercial ships.
Forty-one countries are taking part in the two-week International Mine Countermeasures Exercise (IMCMEX-13) to practise minesweeping and protecting ports and energy installations in the Gulf.
Vice Admiral John Miller, Commander of the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, said on Monday the annual exercise was an "opportunity to enhance international naval capability to preserve freedom of navigation in international waterways.
"If 41 nations are willing to come here and practice MCM, just imagine how effective the global mine response would be if someone actually put mines in the water."
Dropping mines is one way to disrupt shipping through the narrow route through which most of the Gulf's oil and gas is exported and many of the goods it consumes are imported.
The phase of the exercise staged on water, which begins next week, will involve 35 ships, 18 unmanned underwater vehicles and dozens of underwater explosives disposal divers.
In addition to minesweeping and flying drones, this year's event will include oil spill crisis management and protecting offshore terminals that oil and gas exporters rely on.
Last year's exercise included Britain and France, several Middle Eastern states and countries from as far afield as Estonia and New Zealand. The countries taking part this year have not been named.Last Mod: 06 Mayıs 2013, 17:23

Check showtimes to see when Amanpour is on CNN where you are. Or watch online.
By Samuel Burke, CNN
The Venezuelan Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that President Hugo Chavez' inauguration can be postponed.
The court also ruled that in the meantime, Chavez' handpicked vice president, Nicolás Maduro, should run the government.
Opposition lawmaker Maria Corina Machado told CNN's Christiane Amanpour that she believes the Venezuelan constitution clearly states that the National Assembly president, Diosdado Cabello, should run a caretaker government before new elections are called.
"Why violate the constitution at this point?" Machado asked rhetorically, pointing out that this move would keep power with the "Chavistas," not transfer control to any opposition party.
Cecilia Sosa, a former president of the Supreme Court told CNN that she believes the Supreme Court's decision is unconstitutional, and also agreed that the constitution says National Assembly President Cabello should serve as caretaker president, not Vice President Maduro.
Machado said that choosing the vice president over the National Assembly President exposes serious internal divisions and mistrust among the "Chavista" groups.
"This is a decision that was clearly taken in Cuba by the Cubans," Machado alleged to Amanpour.
Though before leaving for his latest treatment in Cuba, Chavez said on December 8 that Vice President Maduro would finish out any period of vacancy if he could not complete his current term. Chavez also said if new elections became necessary that he hoped Venezuelans would elect Nicolás Maduro as president.
"The truth is, in Venezuela we do not know who is running the presidency, who is in charge of the government at his point," Machado said. She joined a group of lawmakers that believe Venezuela should send a medical team to Cuba, to know if Chavez is capable of resuming his responsibilities.
Machado said if at some point there is a new election, she expects the opposition to be united. Opposition groups were able to rally behind Governor Henrique Capriles Radonski in the presidential elections last year. Capriles came closer to defeating Chavez than any of the previous contenders, 55% to 44%.
Maria Corina Machado is a famous as compulsive liar. He has told so many lies about Venezuela that just seeing their country is perceptible all the lies that lady says. It's a real shame that Venezuela does not have a decent opposition.
Pedro it's a real shame that Venezuela has a dictator, who does not trust his own country's doctors, shame and disgusting as well.
The only liars in Venezuela are Chavez and his government. They haven't informed the people about real Chavez medical condition up to this day they haven't said where is Chave'z cancer. What is a real shame is the government of Chavez, they have had the biggest oil's income in the Venezuelan history and our country is in ruins, more poor than 30 years ago, there are no decent public hospitals, there are no decent public schools, the government has stole most of Venezuelan money and gave it away to other countries such as Cuba. If Chavez claims that our hospitals and doctors from the Universidad Bolivariana are that good, why he doesn't treat his cancer in his native country, in the public hospitals he has forgotten about and abandoned! and what happen with the criminality? we have thousands of people getting killed every year for no reason! because we are one of the most dangerous countries in the world!! So who is the liar now? I think you.....
All the best for crazy Hugo...he let me go free from the nuthouse!
Long Live Hero Hugo Chavez!! Latin America Needs You!!!
President > Vice President > National Assembly President.
What are they doing wrong?
Screwing the decent Venezuelans.
Chavez won 55% to ... 47%?
Something doesn't ADD up.
Simple math for the last 3 words of the article: "55 to 47". How can the total number of votes be 102%? Did 2% represent the vote from the outside the country?...
It's the Cubans voting 🙂
Why os this article's headline focused on Cuba when it's clearly about another core issue?
I think Cuban government is trying to control the situation. They are very interested in making us believe that today Hugo should not appear in public and everything stays the same. You are not going to fool the Venezuelan people!!! we know the true, the law and elections have to be called.
See the power of the Cubans! They are the ones who decide who should govern Venezuela! Alas! Why aren't other nations including the US not taking the initiative to know the truth about the condition of Chavez after the Surgery? Even the UN and the other Latin American neighbours are also very silent on the this issue.

The man with the biggest talk and the biggest television set in Texas said he didn't think his coach has "lost the team," but it's clear Jerry Jones isn't happy with the way things have gone.
After yesterday's 38-31 loss to the Redskins, which dropped them to 5-6 and marked the fourth straight home game they've trailed by double digits, Jones made it clear he expects success.
"That would be real difficult right now because you would have to point to things like comebacks, and that's hollow when you are not winning the game," Jones said, via Tim McMahon of ESPNDallas.com. "Or last week, we win one [against the Browns] and we have to come back to win it, but we don't win it playing well. So that's hollow right now."
Talk of coach Jason Garrett's future is valid, not just because he's the coach of the Cowboys, but because he's 18-17 as a head coach.
"I don't want to be talking about looking through," Jones said. "Our expectations were to compete for the playoffs and then whatever else we can get when you get there, compete for. We know you've got to be playing well when you get there.
"We've had some setbacks on some injuries, but that's not the difference out here right now at all."
The Cowboys have already been linked to a pair of big-fish names already (Sean Payton and Mike Holmgren) and that talk isn't going to slow down until or unless they string together some wins.
"Yeah, I expect success," Jones said when asked if a lack of success could force him to consider changes this offseason. "Now, I don't have any implied or anything that I've said, 'Success, a level of success, or else.' I'm not going there and haven't — and haven't gone there in my mind.
"I expected to come in here and win today. And I expected to win again and to win again. Under those circumstances, you don't have to think about those things."
OK, then. Happy Thanksgiving Jason.

A Story Of Relentless Love And Redemption. What would cause an eighteen-year-old old senior class president and homecoming queen from Nashville, TN, to disappoint her parents by forgoing college, break her little brother's heart, lose all but a handful of her friends (because the rest of them think she has gone off the deep end), and break up with the love of her life, all so she could move to Uganda, where she knew only one person but didn't know any of the language? A passion to make a difference.
Katie Davis left over Christmas break her senior year for a short mission trip to Uganda and her life was turned completely inside out. She found herself so moved by the people and children of Uganda that she knew her calling was to return and care for them. She has given up a relatively comfortable life--at a young age--to care for the less fortunate of this world. She was so moved by the need she witnessed, she's centered her life around meeting that need. Katie, a charismatic and articulate young woman, is in the process of "adopting" thirteen children in Uganda, and she completely trusts God for daily provision for her and her family.
Despite the rough conditions in which Katie lives, she has found a life of service to God to be one of great joy. Katie's children bring constant delight and help her help others by welcoming whoever comes to their door. As the challenges grow, so does Katie's faith and her certainty that what she's doing in Uganda, one person at a time, will have far-reaching rewards. It isn't the life she planned, but it is the life she loves.
To further her reach into the needs of Ugandans, Katie established Amazima Ministries. The ministry matches orphaned children with sponsors worldwide. Each sponsor's $300/year provides schooling, school supplies, three hot meals a day, minor medical care, and spiritual encouragement. Katie expected to have forty children in the program; she had signed up 150 by January 2008; today it sponsors over 400. Another aspect of the ministry is a feeding program created for the displaced Karamojong people--Uganda's poorest citizens. The program feeds lunch to over 1,200 children Monday-Friday and sends them home with a plate of food; it also offers basic medical care, Bible study, and general health training.
