Terrance Hayes is cooler than you.
It's not just because he won the National Book Award last year for his collection Lighthead. And it's not because he gave a convincing impression of a male model in Dolce and Gabbana in the spring fashion issue of the New York Times' T magazine. It's not even because Hayes is that rarest of the rare, a poet who doesn't toil away in obscurity, with recent lengthy interviews on CNN and the PBS News Hour.
No, Terrance Hayes is just cooler than you and me. He's that guy who always knows what's next. His knowledge of music rivals most critics. He invents his own poetry forms, just because he feels like it. He's as erudite as you would expect from someone teaches at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and who's won the Whiting Writers Award, two Pushcart Prizes, and a Guggenheim Foundation grant. But in conversation, Hayes is easygoing; he's no record store clerk, pretentious about his own coolness. He doesn't have to be.
In the New York Times last year, Harvard critic and poet Stephen Burt described Hayes' work as "invincibly restless wordplay at the service of strong emotions … [that] owes something to contemporary hip-hop and a great deal to old, rhyming poetic forms." Indeed, when you read the poems in Lighthead, their musicality practically flies off the page. Stanzas like, "We tumble across the mattress unfazed. You treat me/like a fix. We set to licking. We nix the ticktock. Your sock/rolled down to your toes, I love your nose. We steal fire/and walk until the path levitates. Our feet light up the place," make use of internal rhymes whose ease belies their structural complexity.
Hayes' poems have as much depth as they do rhythm. He writes prickly poems about what it means to be black and from the South, loving poems about the challenges of marriage and fatherhood, and thoughtful poems about contemporary political culture. He's also wickedly funny. And this Wednesday, you can find out just how cool he is in person.
You've gotten a lot of attention for the "pecha kucha" format you use in Lighthead. What prompted you to turn the slideshow presentation into stanzas? [A pecha kucha is a Japanese business presentation format in which 20 slides are shown for just 20 seconds each. Hayes employs quatrains for a similar effect.]
The great thing about being a poet is that you can think about poetry at all times. I was invited to participate in an actual pecha kucha event some years ago at the school of architecture here in Pittsburgh. And so when I participated, I thought it would be a very interesting way to write poems. … I think I was unsuccessful for quite a while before I got few that actually seemed to work.
I think it's really interesting the way you play with structure in relation to language, because so much of your language, unlike some contemporary poets, is so musical. When you're writing, how do you balance the structure with that rhythm?
I feel like I sort of have to tamp it down a bit, because I am more inclined to go towards sound, because I am just surrounded by music—it's always in the house and I think about it often, and in another world maybe I would have been a musician. So for me the challenge is not to walk towards the easy thing but just to figure out ways—which would go back to the form—to change it or challenge myself with it. But the musicality in the work just comes from a sort of lifestyle. It's just a natural part of how I move through the world and how I think about things. I'm the friend who always has the new music and is always suggesting to people, even in my classes, "Hey, do you guys know who this guy is?"
A lot of the poems in Lighthead are about the South—negative things about the South. At readings down here, have you gotten any negative reaction from white students who don't get it?
No, not really. Sorry for the pun, but I'm not really like a black-and-white person. I'm kind of a gray-area, between-area person, and I think an astute reader can see that. It's never a simple indictment with anyone. … As a Southerner, I have a kind of complicated relationship to the South, and I try to be true to that. …That's how metaphor works. It's not this or that, it's always both. This thing is like that thing. It's always a multiplicity in the term. My personality would be like that too, to think about where the edges of two different things touch.
Yeah, there are definitely streaks of anger in certain poems. But in many of those same poems, there's humor.
Sure, that's right. That's what I want to achieve. I said this in a workshop the other day … a student brought in a poem that was abstract and general, and so I just said to him, "You know, I show up for the poem to see what the poet is thinking, not to see just a beautiful piece of art, but to really think about the way that artist is really thinking about the world. And there's a difference, you know, a sort of a more active relationship with your audience." And the student was like, "Well, I didn't want to use an 'I.'" And I said, "Well it's not really about that. Perspective is not always about saying 'I, I, I.' But it is about understanding the way someone else—the person behind the work—is looking at the world." And that is what I sort of want to achieve in my own work. … And you just have more room that way, there's less ideas about what's a great poem and what's a bad poem if you're really thinking about perspective, what is the perspective of the poet.
So you're not trying to make art that is universal?
No, no. I don't even think that's possible. Because universal just means for everybody, and if it's for everybody, then it's for nobody, if you ask me. … But the primary thing I believe in is risk and surprise. So if you're someone who always likes to use the first-person speaker in your poems, to me the risk or surprise would be to do the opposite. So that would be my primary attitude when I sit down to work—I just want to risk something I haven't risked before, and I want to surprise myself in a way I haven't surprised myself. So even though I can make a grand statement like I don't really believe that there's such a thing as a universal, and that's true, but just after those kinds of statements, I think about, "Well how can I challenge that? What would it look like to try to write a poem like that?"
So who are some other contemporary poets you really like or that you think are worth checking out?
Do you know about David Berman—hey, isn't he in Nashville?
Yeah. I actually interviewed him once, a long time ago.
He's a great poet! And I'm not saying that just because he's in Nashville. He's always comes instantly to mind. He wrote the one book—Actual Air—it came out the same year as my first book in 1999, and it's just what I'm talking about. What I was drawn to in that book was a sense of David Berman. This is separate from saying the poems are autobiographical or even confessional, but there's a certain kind of perspective driving the poems. …The way that his poems sort of operate, the logic, or slanted logic in those poems excites me. And in other poets like that—like Larry Levis, who's a bigger poet, a more loose meditative poet, is also someone I'm drawn to for that reason. Sylvia Plath. Elizabeth Alexander, for sure. And then Emily Dickinson—even Wallace Stevens. … I'm always looking to sort of see the person behind the poem. This is how great essays work. This is how David Foster Wallace's essays work. You're really having a conversation with him and his mind more than his subject. There's something more than just getting a lesson or having an argument be proven in his essays, and that excites me.

Travante Richard called it the second biggest catch of his high school career.
Some may disagree, but everyone in black and orange was celebrating after the Merced High senior outjumped Pitman's Ken Nichols to haul in a 23-yard touchdown reception with 8 seconds left to lift the Bears to a 21-14 win on Friday night at Veterans Stadium. (See video highlights and interview).
"That ball was high," said Richard, who caught nine passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns. "It was in the lights. I had to go up and get it. I was waiting for somebody to hit me.
"I just wanted to win the game. There was nothing else on my mind. I can't even describe what it felt like to catch it."
Richard still ranks his game-winning touchdown against Downey in Merced's first-ever, on-campus home game last year at No. 1 on his list.
"I'd have to disagree," Bears head coach Rob Scheidt said. "Historically, that catch against Downey might be bigger, but I think this was a bigger catch. First place in league was on the line."
The Bears (6-2 overall, 3-0 Central California Conference) overcame a shaky performance that included three turnovers and 14 penalties, resulting in 140 yards.
Merced turned the ball over twice in the first half, which helped Pitman pull even 7-7 just before halftime.
The Pride (5-3, 1-2) opened the second half with their only long drive in the game. Pitman used 15 straight rushing plays to march 73 yards with Mario Lewis scoring on a 2-yard touchdown to take a 14-7 lead with 7:39 left in the third quarter.
"That's a very good football team," Pitman head coach Tom Tyler said. "We played well. I thought we outplayed them. We just didn't get it done, but I'm proud of our guys."
The Bears finally got their ground game going in the second half as Kris Turner-Jackson tied the game with a touchdown run on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line.
After giving up the long drive, the Bears defense didn't surrender a first down the rest of the way.
Two false start penalties on Pitman helped stop key drives which gave the ball back to the Bears.
"On those false starts (Merced) was yelling hut," Tyler said. "They were mimicking our snap count. That's what freshmen football teams do.
"That's got to be called. If it's not going to be called they should keep doing it."
Merced twice had opportunities to take the lead in the fourth quarter.
Richard caught a ball near the goal line and fumbled into the arms of a Pitman defender in the end zone for a touchback midway through the fourth.
"You can't put your head down after that play," Richard said. "You have to go after the ball."
Bears kicker Daniel Silva also missed a potential go-ahead 38-yard field goal with 2:01 left.
Merced was able to get the ball back at its own 30-yard line with 1 minute left.
"Watching us on that final drive, we were in our element," Scheidt said. "We try to play fast anyway. We're in a two-minute offense all the time.
"Looking at our kids' faces, there was no panic. They were like let's just go make plays and they did."
Bears quarterback Tyrone Williams went to work, completing all five passes on the drive for 70 yards. Williams completed 23 of 27 passes for 272 yards and two scores.

I've toured one of those fancy $15,000 schools and although it seems like they would provide a quality education, is there a more affordable way to do it? What are all the steps?
I've toured one of those fancy $15,000 schools and although it seems like they would provide a quality education, is there a more affordable way to do it? What are all the steps?
Ang asked:
I was wandering if it could work like some professions where you could start out low (like a pharmacy tech)and with more education work up to a higher level.Or would you just have to go right into the Pharm-d program.Also how long do you have to go to school? I hope I'm making sense and not sounding totally ignorant.
Ok thanks everyone.Yeah that's what I meant was work as a tech then go to school.Like how a LPN can transition with a little more education to an RN.I didn't realize it took that long(whew!). So much for that career path!And yes excuse the spelling I'm not as good as when I was younger but I do try and I may have hit the wrong key.I'm also from the south.lol!
Dre A asked:
i have found an online school that offers both.
i am hoping to become a lab tech afterwards then becoming a physician's assistant.
i am intrigued with tox, but i don't know which would pay more and be an asset to my education and career down the line.
any suggestions?
I know there are 2 year programs you can take to become a pharmacy technician. I can't find local schools for a pharmacy TECHNICIAN, but I can find just pre-pharmacy. My question is, if I take 2 years Pre-Pharm vs. Pharm Tech classes, is that enough education to become a pharmacy tech.?
P.S.- I know you take a certification test to be certified, would 2 years pre-pharm be about equal to the other?
Another way will be to obtain sufficient quantities of antioxidants in our bodies, an example being resveratrol. On the other hand, before you purchase resveratrol capsules, take some time understand some important factors to consider.
Many businesses are attempting to cash in on this, since trans resveratrol supplements have gained huge popularity due to the known anti-aging properties and it's caused its proliferation on the market. You have to pick one which comes from an acclaimed manufacturer, if you need to purchase resveratrol capsules of great quality. Take into account you could buy these capsules in varying doses and purities.
It is really simple to be confused in regards to purchasing resveratrol capsules because so many items have different labels and dosages. Each manufacturer will have their particular way of marketing their merchandise and make them seem superior to others. Appealingly, you need a supplement that is made from red grapes, red wine, or even the Japanese knotweed. Be sure also it is pure trans resveratrol.
It is important to note that there are two types of resveratrol, the first one is trans as well as another is cis. What you have to look for is the trans type because it's one that offers medical benefits that resveratrol is known for. Other supplements with lower purity usually comprise emodin that can function as a laxative and effect wide range of digestive problems.
You need to have the ability to distinguish pure trans reveratrol from its cis counterpart because the former is white in color and is odorless as the latter is dark in color and has a distinctive odor. Do not buy resveratrol capsules coming from the cis sorts as they offer no real benefit. It's best that you acknowledge a minimum of 99% purity in the product and you will always check it by searching for a certification.
A quality resveratrol supplement will have a clear record of ingredients and it is labeling without the misleading claims. The item must not have any artificial ingredients, fillers or binders. As much as really possible, do not purchase resveratrol capsules which have proprietary blends as this typically signifies that it comprises low-quality ingredients. Don't even go near goods that don't have a clear record of ingredients.
You can also want to research about the company that made the resveratrol supplement. An acclaimed manufacturer is normally one which has been in the business for several years and has earned great standing from the quality of their merchandise. It could be a great thought to call-up the hotline of the maker in the event you got any questions about the item.
Never enable the cost alone influence your decision to purchase a product and instead consider its overall quality. It would also be a great idea to research for reviews from actual people who've actually used the product. Social media sites and forums can be a good spot to find these.
Saffron emanates from the plant Crocus sativus and other culinary applications and it is commonly used as a spice. Even though its infusion offers a wide range of medicinal benefits, saffron for weight loss typically receives the most attention from individuals.
Saffron for losing weight can be considered very successful primarily because it is able to restrain one's appetite and tone down cravings. One of many factors behind weight gain is compulsive eating, usually as a response to mental factors such as anger, stress, and indifference. People do not really take into account the quantity and quality of what they eat when under psychological pressure and this ultimately results in weight gain.
In a medical research, experts show the reason why saffron efficiently minimizes appetite and cravings is due to the positive effect to the serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin can be believed to have an impact on a man's emotional and physical functions that have mood and behaviour.
In order to analyze the efficacy of saffron for weight loss, Dr. Oz created his own experiment. He requested two women volunteers to bring saffron supplements over the course of a single weekend and they claimed to have lowered their snacking even when under emotional pressure. In effect, one of the girls lost 5 pounds whilst the other lost 3 pounds.
There was also another study which was published in Nutrition Research this season and it involved 60 girls who were moderately overweight. They were split into two groups – the first group took saffron for weight-loss while the next group took a placebo. The end result was that individuals who took the saffron infusion decreased their snacking a lot more than individuals who took the placebo.
With the clinical studies conducted on saffron for weight management, it is significant to take note that Satiereal was employed. Satiereal is a proprietary combination of saffron and is specifically mentioned by Dr. Mehmet Oz as a primary ingredient of the supplement. Studies show that this supplement may also help decrease a man's desire for sugary snacks, which can also lead to weight gain.
Besides serving as a weight loss, taking saffron extract can also be able to alleviate a plethora of health issues including dry skin, coughing, intestinal gas, heartburn, asthma, and insomnia. In addition, there are experts who claim that it may function as an aphrodisiac.
Regardless of the claims of utilizing saffron for weight reduction, it's vital to remember that it must not be treated as a "quick fix" for your weight problems. In the same way Dr. Oz usually says, you only cannot replace a wholesome diet and suitable exercise.
Are you losing the battle against fat those years since you can't find a dependable supplement for maintaining your weight down? In the event that you're tired of seeking, it's about time you purchase garcinia-cambogia for weight management and also attain that amount you've ever been dreaming of. So what's this garcinia cambogia anyhow and why is it distinct from your other supplements you've attempted?
It isn't unusual to hear those that have spent a huge hunk of cash attempting applications and products that guaranteed to give the human body to them they are craving for. The difficulty is that the majority of these items include materials that might be dangerous to your own body even though others make you starve to death. Then garcinia cambogia capsules is your best choice, should you actually need to drop the weight and released fat the normal manner.
After having experienced lots of study and clinical trials, goraka has been validated to be successful in removing fat while also encouraging smarter eating habits. Garcinia-cambogia is truly a fruit which is grown in South-East Asia along with the rind and fruit are used to develop the infusion sold commercially, normally in the shape of tablets or capsules.
Because of the buzz made from the display of Doctor Oz, lots of folks wanted to purchase garcinia-cambogia for weight management as well as discover out for themselves whether the results being maintained are really correct. Doctor. Oz has gathered a tremendous following over time due to his pursuit for wholesome living and he is highly-respected in his own area that's why folks pay attention to him when he talks.
Garcinia cambogia is made by what this type of heavyweight competition within the weight reduction business is its strong quantity of the material called acid or HCA. The materials in garcinia-cambogia also operate to decrease bad cholesterol within the bloodstream.
Another excellent reason to purchase garcinia cambogia for losing weight is that it really may keep anxiety and depression under control by raising the amounts of serotonin within the body. Serotonin is actually a hormone within your body that controls a man's disposition and stops depression. Having more of the hormone can allow you to really overeat due to strain, depression, or any further psychological reasons.
Just before you choose to purchase garcinia-cambogia for weight management, it's crucial to be cautious with the product that you can purchase as lots of unscrupulous businesses want to profit on the buzz of the fruit. Although Doctor. Oz has highlighted it in his own present, he didn't support a special product. In spite of this, he gave his suggestions regarding the qualities you ought to look for in this addition.
First, it must be clear within the label the accessory truly features HCA, the minimum must be no less than 50%. As for the dosage, the best is ranging from 800 to 1000mg. Keep these points in your mind before you purchase garcinia-cambogia for weight management.
With an access control system installed in your building or facility, you should be able to properly manage the entry and exits points in it. It can also enable you to control who gains access to specific areas and prevent any unauthorized entry. Not only is it perfect for improving the security of the building or facility but also its privacy as well.
Unlike physical locks, computerized access control technology is more sophisticated and therefore is less likely to be duplicated. Access control terminals are usually installed just beside the point of entry, be it doors or gates, to which a user can either enter a password, passphrase or PIN. Users no longer have to bring a physical key with them and it eliminates the problem of having lost keys.
One of the more popular type of technology used in a good access control system is biometrics. It is labeled as so because it makes use of distinct features of a person such the fingerprint and retina. And since everyone will have unique patterns for these, it is an accurate way of ensuring that only authorized people are given access to certain areas in the building or facility.
Another great point about using an access control system is that you won't have to use as much security guards to secure the entry/exit points of a building or facility. Access control technology can also help to keep track of the work schedule of personnel and ensure they are doing their job on time. And since less manual work is involved, there is a lesser chance for people to commit fraud.
It is important to get a general idea about the components that make up an access control system – the physical barrier, the access controller/reader, and the credentials. Entry and exit points such as doors and gates are secured with the physical barrier and the most common are electronic locks. Gates found on bus terminals and train stations often make use of turnstiles to secure entrance/exit points.
There are two options for an access controller and for smaller establishments, a stand-alone system is often used because it is less complicated to setup and all data is stored in the unit itself. On bigger offices, network or online-based systems are preferred since it offers more flexibility by using a user database. Credentials such as passwords, keycards, and fingerprints are used with the access controller.
There are also some problems associated with using an access control system and one of the most common is when an unauthorized individual follows another that has been granted access to a particular area. This is commonly known as tailgating and other risks like this can be kept at bay by laying down specific protocols and ensuring that the system is always working efficiently.

That reason is these kind of employment provide much-essential stability, let alone excellent pay. The country is still in the holds from the downturn in the economy which the mortgage dilemma has gotten upon us during the last few years. And thus, individuals out of place with this recession need work that compensates a considerable wage plus, moreover, secure. These people think that this kind of work may be the solely route they can acquire on the way to recuperation.
Stability is definitely one of many present hallmarks associated with radiologic tech jobs. The reason is that the youngster boomer era continues to grow older and needs high-quality health care. It is this post-Second World War period in which brought on this huge interest in educated radiology techs. General medical centers, diagnostic imaging amenities, specialized healthcare amenities – they're underneath great stress to deal with this particular need.
Additionally, the actual need in order to complete radiology tech jobs will certainly develop over the following few years roughly.

The Five-Minute Miracle
Higher-consciousness healing can turn your life and your perception around.
BY: Tara Springett, M.A.
Back in 1997 I had been a psychotherapist and drugs counsellor for nine years. But despite my best efforts my clients did not improve as quickly as I wished. All this was to change when the method that I came to call 'Higher-consciousness healing' suddenly popped into my head while I was listening to a talk from my Buddhist teacher.
Higher-consciousness healing proved so effective that it brought quick and lasting results with all my clients – even to people who had experienced severe traumas or suffered from life-long emotional and relationship problems.
What makes higher-consciousness healing so effective? All wise people have told us that love is the answer to all our questions and the cure for all our problems. But even though everybody has heard this truth most of us find it hard to put it into practice – particularly when we feel victimized by others or suffer from overwhelming problems. Higher-consciousness healing enables people to link into the part of their mind that already knows the solution to all their problems. In this way, problems that are rooted deep within our unconscious mind can be resolved, relationships can be restored to peace and harmony and painful emotions dissolve.
The core of the practice is to contact our higher-consciousness (in whatever way we choose to perceive it) and ask for healing-symbols to overcome our problems. These symbols need to be felt or visualized in a certain way radiating with love to ourselves, to our painful body parts and to everyone who is involved in our problem. The results of this simple practice are nothing less than fascinating. I have worked with many hundreds of cases and I have carefully monitored everyone's feelings. In most cases this method enables people to improve their problems dramatically – be they big or small – within a matter of days or weeks.

Pros – Pays well for a CSR job.
Is full time immediately.
Two week training adequately prepares you for position.
Nice break area with complementary tea, coffee, fruit.
No dress code. Wear whatever you're comfy in.
Friendly co-workers.
Pleasant work space- comfortable desks, chairs, clean appearance.
Breaks are CSR responsibility. You have a schedule, but you decide whether it's best to go on break or take one more call.
On extremely high call volume days (i.e. server crashes, etc.) managers show appreciation by coming around with a cart of beverages and snacks to keep you going.
Cons – While you are placed on teams to help you deal with any obscure technical issues that may arise, the teams aren't very supportive or responsive. They love to BS in the chatroom, but when someone asks a real question suddenly it seems like no one is home. On the rare occasions when you do have an escalated call that you can not resolve, supervisors avoid your messages in order to avoid dealing with the dissatisfied customer.
There is very little positive feedback. On days when I did everything correctly - 0% customer dissatisfaction (by survey response), low handle times, etc., the supervisor never said a word. The moment you have a long call that pushes your time up, they call you on it. Regarding any such poor performance: it was very common for embarrassment tactics to be used in response instead of constructive criticism.
Advice to Senior Management – Find better ways to recognize your good employees. It's disheartening to continually get good stats and never get a pat on the back. The silly workplace contests are nice, but the employees recognize them for what they are.
Get a better system in place for checking in on your supervisors, or a report system. It's frustrating to see your supe getting away with playing games on facebook while you're working like mad.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

We stayed at this beautiful Provence-style guest cottage for a week with our two young sons while we were house hunting in the area. The cottage is perfectly located a few minutes south of Los Gatos in a gorgeous hillside setting. We saw deer almost every day from our window. The cottage itself is very cosy and has everything you need - including some thoughtful touches. A generous gift basket was waiting for us on arrival, and Mike and Polly had gone out of their way to make us feel extremely welcome. They'd even purchased a brand new pack and play for our 10 month old to sleep in. The cottage shares the pool and hot tub with the owners who live in a house on the property, and we spent many a relaxing afternoon lounging around the beautiful pool area. Looking out from the hot tub towards the spectacular scenery, you could easily imagine yourself in the Tuscan hills. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would recommend to everyone. Thanks again, Mike and Polly and your family for a wonderfully relaxing week!

The AEM (ESL) Program matches non-native English speakers with a native English speaker from the USF community. Conversation partners meet regularly throughout the semester, approximately once a week, and talk about anything they want.
The Conversation Partner Program offers AEM students and native English speakers the opportunity to learn about each other's countries and cultures. AEM students can practice their English communication skills and learn about U.S. culture and college life. Native speakers of English can learn about another country, another culture, and perhaps practice their foreign language skills.
We provide conversation tips and new ideas for participants in the program. Often students return with the same partners and form friendships and networks beyond the CPP.
Spring Orientation will be held on Tuesday, February 18 at 11:45 a.m. in Cowell 107.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — -- Grayling will be the official site of the Michigan National Guard Encampment. The Bill providing for this has passed both branches of the legislature and is up for the Governor for his signature.
That it will be signed is certain in view of his special message to the legislature urging the passage of the Bill. An interesting situation relative to the bill occurred yesterday. The Senate passed it after a hard fight made against it by Sam Odell. An amendment carrying an appropriation of $30,000 was attached. The bill went back to the House for concurrence in the amendment, but no amendment was apparent. It was discovered today and the Bill as at the time passed stood minus an appropriation to make it effective.
Immediately the supporters of the Ludington and Holland sites began to pass division, but they were too hasty. The Bill was called in, the amendment dug up, and in a moment's time, against the opposition of Cap. Tufts and C.H. McBride, was adopted and the Bill repassed with the amendment and appropriation. This was the last step and the Bill now needs only the signature of the Governor to become a law.
-- The construction work on the new post office building is being pushed. The brick work is several feet above the water level and part of the interior construction is under way.
-- A runaway horse caused considerable excitement on Front Street for a few moments this morning. The animal was hitched to a dray and in some way one of the side boards had become loosened and was protruding from the side of the vehicle. Several rigs were nearly caught by the board but fortunately no actual collision took place. The horse ran down West Front Street to Union, where he turned south and was finally captured near the corner of Union and State Streets.

Portugal's Secretary of State to the Prime Minister Carlos Moedas (R) laughs as he and Minister of the Presidency and of Parliamentary Affairs Luis Marques Guedes leave a news meeting in Lisbon May 17, 2014. On Saturday, Portugal becomes the second euro zone state after Ireland to exit a bailout, having stuck to the European Union's recipe of belt-tightening to beat the euro zone crisis. The 78-billion-euro rescue program the EU and the International Monetary Fund assembled in 2011 for the nearly bankrupt country will formally conclude with Portugal's budget in much better shape and borrowing costs at eight-year lows.

WISE COUNTY, Va. (WYMT/AP) - He killed fellow inmates in two different Southwest Virginia prisons.
Now, the man who threatened to keep killing people unless he was executed is dead.
Officials in Virginia say 42 year old Robert Gleason Junior died Wednesday night in the electric chair.
Gleason was serving life in prison for a 2007 murder when he killed his cellmate at Wallens Ridge State Prison in Big Stone Gap in 2009.
Police say he strangled another inmate at nearby Red Onion maximum security prison in Pound in 2010.
Gleason was the first person executed in the U.S. this year and the first to choose to die by electrocution since 2010.

North Carolinas final tax-free weekend the summer school-shopping holiday comparable in the retail world to Pamplonas Running of the Bulls is upon us.
Included in this weekends tax-free deal are clothes, sports equipment, computers and perhaps most importantly, school supplies. And it looks like students will need some new stuff to keep up with the latest back-to-school supply trends.
Whats hot? Todays Me generation is all about standing out, not blending in, so the more outrageous and cutting-edge the accoutrements, the better. Word around the locker is that neon colors and personalization are all the rage.
Staples public relations manager Mark Cautela confirms.
Kids are looking to be very personalized, to have their own identity, said Cautela.
In fact, one of Staples biggest new products, he says, is a customizable composition notebook. On the companys website, kids can select a design and add pictures and banners to the front to make the items their own, one-of-a-kind accessory. Folders can also be customized.
Cautela also notes that bright colors are very big, along with quilted zipper binders and basically anything that glows or lights up. Bold, bright graphics on every surface imaginable are in vogue. Folders, notebooks, pencil pouches and backpacks feature every color on the spectrum, often all together.
The bag and the box
The classics backpacks and lunch boxes still receive the most attention.
Josh Jensen, sales associate at Omega Sports in North Hills, agreed with Cautela that bright colors are huge right now.
They used to be plain black; now we get more bright colors like yellow, purple and green, Jensen said of the stores backpack inventory. Even the plainer backpacks have neon embellishments.
Jensen said the North Face brand backpacks that Omega carries are popular with older students because of their durability.
The Bright family, of Raleigh, has already been scoping out Target in hot pursuit of the trendiest bags.
Ethan, 10, only had two requisites for his perfect backpack: I like for it to look cool, he said. And it needs to fit a lot of stuff.
His brother Mason, 6, said hes totally over the character trend and is instead going for the tie-dye look this fall. Plus, Ethan warns that the plastic-front character backpacks tend to break easily.
The littlest Bright, Liam, 4, is starting preschool this year. He selected a backpack with a skeleton on it. It also had an attached keychain, a feature Liam desperately desired, despite his lack of keys.
Geometric or texturized designs adorn many school supplies including lunch boxes as do images of celebrities (One Direction, anyone?) and cartoon characters.
Whatever the design, moms and kids alike seem to prefer the soft, insulated lunch bags to clunky boxes.
They have to be big enough for lunches and snacks, said Leslie Horwitz of Raleigh, shopping for new lunch boxes with her 8-year-old twin sons, Joshua and Ryan. Theyre past the character stage. But they want to pick it out, to make sure its big enough and that it has enough compartments.
And finally, an especially popular product from last year that is expected to make a comeback is the locker chandelier, a small motion-sensor light fixture that hangs from the top of the locker. Aspiring interior designers can also soup up their locker lounges with glittery rugs, magnetic wallpaper and beaded curtains all to create a homey environment for those cool backpacks and lunch boxes.

Moshcam has compared famous musicians to characters from Games Of Thrones and Craig looks like Aria Stark.
Sydney rock band The Vines have sold over two million albums worldwide, with the debut album reaching the top 10 in the US, Japan, UK & Australia.
Starting out in 2002, The Vines exploded into prominence alongside with The Strokes and The White Stripes and a resurgence in glamorous rock music.
The Vines scored the fabled cover of NME five times in 2002 and became the first Australian band in 21 years to be on the prestigious cover of the US magazine the Rolling Stone (the prior artist was 'Men At Work').
The Vines incendiary and unpredictable live show went to the top of the "best of" polls Glastonbury & Coachella, and infamous TV performances on the David Letterman show and Jay Leno added to the bands notoriety.
2013 has The Vines sixth album in the incubator and an announcement coming about a new and the first collaborative side project from Craig Nicholls.

Whether this particular work is the best use of talent, however, is another question.
The play concerns two upper-middle-class couples in Brooklyn, N.Y., whose 11-year-old sons were involved in a playground altercation. Benjamin Raleigh whacked Henry Novak with a stick, knocking out two teeth. Their parents have gathered at the Novaks' apartment to work things out.
At first, Veronica and Michael Novak (Lilli Bassett and Mike Waugh) seem like reasonable people. She's the author of two books on Africa and works part-time at an art-history bookshop; he's a wholesaler in domestic goods (frying pans, bathroom faucets).
Annette and Alan Raleigh (Mona Campbell and Chad Alan Baker) also seem reasonable. She works in wealth management; he's a corporate lawyer.
But soon, it becomes the Peloponnesian War in a teapot. The four characters' allegiances constantly shift. Sometimes, the Novaks team up against the Raleighs. Next moment, it's the men against the women. The superegos give way, and the characters become all id.
And that's before they break out the fancy rum.
The actors do fine jobs in challenging roles. Except for a few moments, all four remain onstage throughout the show. Campbell can roll her eyes and stare daggers with the best of them. The always-reliable Waugh's pliant face flashes a salesman's smile, becomes perplexed and hangdog, and finally falls into an almost catatonic stupor.
Bassett seizes the role of Veronica like a pit bull and acts it within an inch of its life. But one wonders if she's miscast here. It would be interesting to see this play with her and Campbell switching roles.
The play's reputation precedes it.
Winning the 2009 Tony for best play and other prestigious awards, Carnage is a crowd-pleaser, but reasonable people could disagree about its credibility.
Oh, its characters are people like us, and it's delicious to see them wallow in absurdity, knowing we would never act that way.
We would never be helicopter parents. We would never lose control and make an ass of ourselves.
We would never engage in petty arguments over whether a particular pastry is a cake or a tart.
Reza has taken a germ of an idea and run with it.
The play includes a widely reported sight gag involving Annette. Clark's staging is effective, but it would be nice if the scene were — without giving too much away — chunkier. It's the scene where Annette does something that causes Veronica to wail, "What are we gonna do about the Kokoschka?" The moral: Don't leave rare books on your coffee table.

Eric Jackson, Contributor
I cover the business of technology.
Since Larry Page took over as Google (GOOG) CEO, he has promised more "velocity" in strategic decisions and more focus.
To my eyes, what he's also brought to the forefront is an marked increase in squishiness of "milestone" numbers he throws out to analysts to explain Google growth.
For several years now, Google has been big on sharing the number of daily "activations" for their Android phones, with no specific definition of what that exactly means. They just keep going straight up is the conclusion Google appears to want us to draw.
Page has also been very aggressive about touting the numbers of Google+ members and engagement since the service launched. Last week, he crowed triumphantly that Google+ had hit 90 million users with 60% engaging daily. Again, the problem is that Larry didn't define his terms. If I'm forced to sign up for + as part of registering for Gmail, YouTube or search, should that count as a registration? And if I then do a search or check my Gmail, should I be counted as engaging with +? It's laughable.
Google is also fond of talking about its annualized revenue numbers for its nascent businesses. For example, from recent calls, we learned that:
- From last week: "Display has now reached an annualized run rate of over $5 billion as we engage with multiple advertisers and get tremendous support from our agency partners."
- From last quarter: "We're also seeing a huge positive revenue impact from Mobile, which has grown 2.5x in the last 12 months to a run rate of over $2.5 billion."
- We of course also have received daily or point-in-time updates on Chrome, enterprise customers, and Android activations.
- We even got an update last week that Google is adding one feature update to Google+ per day last week from Page
Google's top brass are very very smart. Nothing gets dropped into their prepared remarks by chance.
Agree! Check out: www.computer-guru.com — "Who Needs Google?" blog entry.
In August and September Google charge my adwords account more than $10,000. My previous adwords campaigns were productive. In those two months Google provided me with $9,500.00 of worthless advertising clicks. When I contacted Google, I was told that the blame was mine because I used broad search. I received gobbedygook from their customer support. Google refused to admit their algorithim was the problem.
I believe other have suffered at the hands of the arrogant management of Google. I do not trust google to manage my keyword advertising correctly.
Me to the rescue. I'll start a video game company and sell to Google. $3 million just like that.
Diversify, Google. You ain't got it in your core anymore. Become a holding company.
So let Google baffle the questioners with BS. Wait until next quarter to see if their explanations carried any weight. It's still going to come down to pure revenue and profit numbers QoQ. If they're down next quarter then Google wasn't telling the truth. All the fancy words in the world isn't going to change the fact that Google is likely losing money on ads. Why even bother to argue about it.
Google is trying to keep its P/E multiple high along with its share price. They have to at least try. Next quarter will prove whether they've been successful or not with their ad click algorithms. It would be funny if mobile devices are basically doing an end run around Google search. If Android growth really does start to slow, Google certainly could have a few problems about where to siphon more revenue from if Wintel PC/desktop usage continues to slide.
There is ONE killer app that can boost both FB and GOOG to trillion dollar annual profits, but it can't be done without an act of Congress. The legalization of internet gambling would make these two the biggest profit engines in the world. FB has hundreds of millions playing apps and chatting for hours a day. Google has the Android system. Just imagine if they could have people playing with real money with their apps and games. It should be no surprise that the Democratic Party has done a full 180 and now support repeal of the Republican law against internet gambling. To go to the next level, GOOG has to invest heavily in politicians.
I would agree. I skate the web with the Mozilla Firefox browser and utilize add-ons that block everything from tracking cookies to advertisements from even appearing on my screens. (I specifically allow some like hulu secured, etc.)
Considering how popular and easy to use these technologies are, I have always wondered "What kind of person actually clicks on an add? Should they pay me to waste my time on them?"
And with these technologies being readily available, it is only natural that the market would demand a cheaper price per click.
Some sites even mandate cookies must be enabled in order to gain access.
If Google and advertisers want to see their profits increase, their adds more effective, not only will they will need to find more meaningful ways to engage us customers, they will need to find work arounds for these tools. And I think that is where targeted advertising will come into play. (Think of that annoying CSpire commercial, and replace apps with adds)
To sum up…
Google and advertisers will need to create a new experience for us, something that makes us feel welcomed, that we belong to something greater than ourselves, something that we honestly need or want (or at least you can make us think we need / want it).
But alas, I will never experience it as I use the following technologies:
Adblock Plus
Of course mobile search is less profitable. There's less screen space to fill with ads.
Google is already cramming so many ads and Google owned content on search result pages that there's push-back. Users are installing ad-blocking programs, and competitors are suing Google for giving prime space to Google's own content.
Increased ad density is a bad sign. Myspace tried that when their revenue started to slip. That didn't end well.
Google's venture into "social" can turn users off if it becomes too ad-heavy. Search ads can be a useful service, because they are presented when the user is actively looking for something. Social ads are merely an interruption of other activities, like TV commercials.
Does Google break out their "social" revenue?
I use Facebook, despite hating it, and had high hopes for Google+, but their real name policy turned me off, and their persistent attempts to shove G+ down our throats has just ensured that I'll never use the service.

|Promised Land
|Old Testament the land of Canaan, promised by God to Abraham and his descendants as their heritage (Genesis 12:7)
|heaven, esp when considered as the goal towards which Christians journey in their earthly lives
|any longed-for place where one expects to find greater happiness or fulfilment
The land that God promised he would give to the descendants of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob; the land flowing with milk and honey; the land of Canaan, or Palestine. The Israelites did not take it over until after the Exodus, when they conquered the people already living there.
Note: By extension, an idyllic place or state of being that a person hopes to reach, especially one that cannot be reached except by patience and determination, is called a "Promised Land."

The Edwardsville Tigers have won 13 of the last 14 Southwestern Conference boys golf championships.
Led by fromer coaching legends Dick Gerber and Dennis Erlich and now under the guidance of the highly capable Dene Schickedanz, the Tigers have produced many players who have gone on to star in the college ranks such as Mike Suhre (Northern Illlinois) and Chris Brant (Iowa).
But when eight teams tee off on 9 a.m. Tuesday at Westview Golf Course in Quincy for the Class 3A Quincy Regional, the Tigers won't be the favorite.
That role goes to perennial state title contender and regional host --the Quincy Blue Devils.
"We like and we play well, as a rule, at Westview," Schickedanz said. "We went this weekend and played a tournament and so we will be well prepared. But Quincy has to be one of the top five teams in the state. And, on their home course, they'll be awfully tough to beat.''
Quincy, along with seven Southwestern Conference schools -- Belleville East, Belleville West, Edwardsville, Collinsville, Alton, Granite City and O'Fallon -- will play in the regional.
The top three teams and top 10 players not on those teams advance to the Pekin Sectional on Oct. 14. Class 1A and Class 2A regionals also are being held at sites throughout the state on Tuesday.
Edwardsville features a deep and talented squad led by Ty Zeller and Tyler Worthey. But the Tigers aren't the only SWC team wich a good chance of advancing on Tuesday.
Beleville West, in the midst of its finest season in a decade, has one of the premier players in the state in senior Cade Dibadj as well as five other top players. Seniors Parker Biene, Michael Len and Trevor Brown are all four-year starters for West, which won the regional title at Spencer T. Olin Golf Course in Alton a year ago.
Other top individuals to watch are Keenai Sampson of Collinsville, Billy Goodman of O'Fallon and Michael Fuehne of Belleville East.
Following is a list of the other regionals in the metro east on Tuesday.
Class 1A Okawville Regional
What time: 8 a.m.
Where: At Roland Barkau Memorial Golf Course
Tournament favorite: Nashville
Local Teams competing: Marissa, Nashville, New Athens, Oawville, Red Bud, Sparta, Valmeyer and Gibault
Top local individuals: Brenden Holzhauer and Jordan Harre, Nashville; Sam Range, Gibault; Alex Petri, Valmeyer; Tyler Jones, Marissa.
Synopsis: The defending regional champion, Nashville senior Jordan Harre, leads the way for a strong Nashville squad that has its eyes set on another trip to the Class A State Tournament. The Hornets placed sixth in the state a year ago. Sam Range of Gibault is one of the top Class 1A players in the state.
Class 1A Wesclin Regional
What time: 9 a.m.
Where: At Governors Run Golf Course, Carlyle
Tournament favorite: Carlyle.
Local teams competing: Mater Dei, Carlyle, Metro East Lutheran, Lebanon, First Baptist Academy in O'Fallon, Wesclin.
Top local individuals: Josh Palsenberger, Andrew Ray and Brandon Jansen, all from Carlyle
Synopsis: The Carlyle Indians return to the scene of their most recent triumph -- the Cahokia Conference championship -- which they won last week. Playing on its home course is also a huge advantage for Carlyle, which might be pushed slightly by Mater Dei and Metro East Lutheran.
Class 2A (Alton) Marquette Regional
What time: 9 a.m.
Where: At Rolling Hills Golf Course, Godfrey
Tournament favorite: Althoff
Local teams competing: Althoff, Marquette, Civic Memorial, Wood River, Waterloo, Roxana, Freeburg, Columbia
Top local individuals: Michael Johnson and Matthew McCarthy, Althoff; Michael Barker, Columbia; MZ Duprey, Mascoutah; Nick Hamilton, Columbia.
Synopsis: The two-time defending Class 2A defending state champion Crusaders better not be looking past this one, which also features several dangerous teams -- Columbia, Marquette and Mascoutah -- all of which are capable of breaking 320. The Crusaders have two of the best players in the state in senior Michael Johnson and sophomore Matthew McCarthy.
Quote: Althoff coach Dan Polites: "If we play the way we can, then we should get out. Matthew (McCarthy) and Michael (Johnson) have been consistent all year. For us to get back to state, we need our No. 3-6 players to play better.''
Class 2A Mount Vernon Regional
What time: 9 a.m.
Where: At Green Hills Golf Club
Tournament favorites: Highland, Mount Vernon
Local teams competing: Triad, Highland, Central
Top Local individuals: Austin Buente, Triad and Brayden Polansky, Triad; Brock Portell, Jesse Johnson and Cam Loyet, Highland.
Synopsis: The host Rams may have a slight edge playing on their home course, but Highland may have more depth. Triad is also a darkhorse if Buente goes low.

August 1, 2014
20 years after he began his work as a Semi-Skilled Highway Worker for Dane County's Highway Department, Doug Rothwell says he continues to see more garbage, and more people throwing garbage, along area highways.
He explains, "We fill up bins and bins full of trash that we pick up, it's unbelievable."
Rothwell says he wants the roads to be clean, but adds, the work can be degrading.
"I don't know why they don't have pride and why they'd wanna look around and see all this garbage on the side."
Rothwell says he and just one other crew member can fill up as many as 20 bags in a five-hour shift. He says the windy, wet weather makes things more difficult, but he adds that's not his primary concern.
"Sometimes you're traveling on the side of the road, you're not watching about traffic and you never know when a car might slide off the road and you would never even know what was going on if that happened."
We're very proud of our employees and the hard work they do, but those efforts wouldn't be as difficult if people took a little bit more care in what they do.
