Creating cultural awareness in primary education is essential to preventing the smuggling of historical artifacts out of Turkey, according to an art history expert. Art historian Emine Özturk, the assistant director of the Zeugma Mosaic Museum recently said, "In this geography that has such a rich cultural heritage, the most important thing is to create cultural awareness.
A bite of the apple is said to have gotten Adam and Eve thrown out of the Garden of Eden.
Now the Norton Simon Museum wants another bite at the apple as it tries to have a legal threat to one of its most prized artworks thrown out of court. At stake are Lucas Cranach the Elder's 1530 paired paintings "Adam" and "Eve," which have hung in the Pasadena museum since the 1970s.
The museum has asked for a rehearing of a June decision that went against it in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, when two members of a three-judge panel revived Marei Von Saher's claim to "Adam" and "Eve" after it had been dismissed two years earlier in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Over 100 British experts, lords, and members of Parliament have signed a letter decrying the United Kingdom's failure to sign the Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. The letter was written by Nicholas Trench, the Earl of Clancarty, and published in Monday's edition of the Telegraph and on their website.
As the letter points out, the UK is the most significant international power that has not yet signed the Hague Convention. The US signed the accord in 2009. It was initially formulated in 1954 in response to the vast destruction of and damage to sites of national and international cultural importance during the Second World War. Those losses, Trench points out, included: "Paintings by Van Gogh and Caravaggio; the St Petersburg amber room; and architecture such as St Mary's Church, Lübeck, and the Benedictine monastery at Monte Cassino."

WASHINGTON – Officials representing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Republic of Korea's Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a framework for the exchange of information and cooperation regarding the protection, recovery and restitution of cultural property.
A ceremony was held at ICE headquarters in Washington to commemorate the MOU signing, the first of its kind between a U.S. agency and an agency from the Republic of Korea. The MOU was signed by ICE Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Thomas S. Winkowski and CHA Administrator Sun-hwa Rha.

ICE, Korea's Cultural Heritage Administration to sign MOU to protect cultural property
WASHINGTON undefined Officials representing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Republic of Korea's Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) will sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a framework for the exchange of information and cooperation regarding the protection, recovery and restitution of cultural property.
By Jane O'Brien BBC News, Washington
An international group of cultural experts and scientists have formed an emergency task force to help Syrians save their heritage from destruction.
The four-year civil war has killed more than 150,000 people and forced millions more to flee their homes. It is also, as documented by the BBC, destroying some of the world's most important art, buildings and monuments.
"What we're doing is cultural triage," says Brian Daniels of Penn Museum's Penn Cultural Heritage Center, Philadelphia. He has recently returned from an undisclosed location in Turkey where the Heritage Task Force was training Syrians to protect artefacts from bombs and other threats.
Experts condemn British government for failure to ratify convention protecting cultural property
Crossbench peer leads criticism of repeated delays despite widespread looting in Syria
By Anny Shaw. Web only
Published online: 21 July 2014
Politicians and leading archaeologists have criticised the British government for failing to ratify the Hague Convention in the current parliamentary session. MPs and peers lobbied the government to introduce the necessary legislation at the beginning of the parliamentary year in June, but no bill was included. The Hague Convention was originally drawn up in 1954 and amended in 1999 to protect cultural property in the event of armed conflict. The UK is the only major Western power that has not ratified the treaty.
In a letter published in the Daily Telegraph newspaper today, 21 July, Nicholas Trench, the Earl of Clancarty who is a Crossbench peer, described Britain's failure to ratify the treaty as "mystifying". Trench said that in 2008, a draft Cultural Property Protection (Armed Conflict) Bill passed through parliament with minor revisions. "Ministers of successive governments have pledged their commitment to ratification as soon as parliamentary time can be found… The latest Queen's Speech left ample parliamentary time free to pass additional legislation in the current session," he said.

If you're stockpiling facemasks, hand sanitizers, and chicken soup, consider this.
Your best bet for protection against common airborne illnesses starts within. Build a strong immune system from the inside out, and don't sabotage your immunity with habits that hinder your body's ability to fight off infections and illness.
Three Immune Busters
1. A sedentary lifestyle can reduce immunity two ways:
- It may interfere with good sleep and can lead to obesity. If you sit at a desk all day, this double whammy can leave you and your immune system feeling sluggish. Regular, moderate exercise makes a difference—aim for a daily brisk walk of 30 minutes.
- Exercise increases leukocyte levels, and these cells fight infections.
2. Eat whole foods, especially organic. Choose lots of fruits and veggies for their antioxidants—nutrients that protect cells from free-radical damage that's been implicated in atherosclerosis, cancer, and arthritis. Free radicals can also interfere with your immune system.
"With up to 80 percent of the immune system located in the gut, the achievement of optimal digestive health is paramount," says Brenda Watson, CNC, president and founder of ReNew Life Formulas. "A healthy immune system means a balanced immune system, which comes by way of a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet (with plenty of fiber and omega-3 fats), a balanced gut (which can be built with probiotics), and proper digestion of food (and thus, absorption of nutrients) with digestive enzymes."
3. Although short-term stress may boost immunity, chronic stress appears to do the opposite, exposing your body to more of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline, which suppress immunity. Learning relaxation techniques, perhaps through yoga or t'ai chi, can boost immunity and improve sleep.

Broken City *** ( R) This urban political/crime drama is surprisingly well-scripted, with more than its fair share of twists and turns. Mark Wahlberg plays a hardnosed New York cop, who is stripped of his badge early in the film over a controversy about his shooting an alleged rapist. Although the mayor (Russell Crowe) understands and approves of what he did, public outrage over what may have been excessive force compels The Brass to throw Wahlberg under the proverbial bus.
The story jumps ahead seven years. He's been struggling to exist as a private detective. Suddenly, Hizzoner calls him in for a lucrative job - tailing his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) to see who she's boinking. That results in photos of her meetings with the campaign manager of his opponent in the final week before voting in his neck-and-neck race for re-election. A huge real estate deal regarding an existing housing project is the hot-button topic. Did the mayor save the city from bankruptcy, or lavish a bonanza on his wealthy supporters at the expense of the residents?
Brian Tucker's script is particularly impressive for a rookie. Director Allen Hughes' experience in the genre helps, with the pacing and mostly non-glamorous settings well-suited to the material. The rating comes more from violence than sexual content, and is relatively restrained. Wahlberg, Crowe and Jeffrey Wright (the police chief) add solid performances.
This is Crowe's second role in less than a month as a distinctly unlikable character, following his Inspector Javert in Les Miserables. Could he be trying to supplant Mel Gibson as everyone's least-favorite Australian actor? (1/18/13)

Wisconsin rider picks up second victory in Burlington Road Race.
Despite a stiff headwind that hampered the cyclists for much of the 95 miles of the Burlington Road Race, the Category 1-2 Pro riders wasted no time in completing the race.
The lead group averaged around 32 miles per hour, finishing the race in about 3 1/2 hours Friday afternoon.
As the lead group of 13 sprinted down Main Street, Cole House led the breakaway to the finish line.
The victory was House's second in the race, in only the second time he had entered. House also won in 2007, just a year after winning the Juniors 15+ race in the Snake Alley Criterium.
Ukrainian Artem Kraitor won his first Category 3-4 event, taking the Grandview to Burlington race. DeWitt's Ron Zimmer captured the Mediapolis to Burlington race, outsprinting the pack down Main Street.
House was just returning to competition after taking a week off. His season started with a five-week block of racing.
With just one race under his belt the last two weeks, House did not really know what this weekend would bring.
"You never know what it's like coming out of a rest week," House said. "I did a mountain bike race last weekend and it was good there. I figured I had a chance with a little luck and great teamwork from my teammates."
House stayed with the lead pack from the start. He took advantage coming out of a crosswind.
"It was slightly uphill so I kind of made a little effort myself and kind of swung off," he said. "Nobody came around so I just went back in the gutter, hit it again, then we had a group of 20."
The group eventually was whittled down to 13. A chase pack of 13 trailed by nearly six minutes by the 77-mile mark.
While others in the lead group thought that was a comfortable cushion, House knew better.
"Once we got the group going, everybody was organized and everybody put in good work," House said. "There was only one moment when we got close to six minutes, everybody was like we have enough time now we can start messing around. I was like just because we have six minutes now, we're not even halfway in. Got back on the gas and kept it steady."
House was right.
The chase group closed within four minutes, and ended about two minutes behind the lead pack.
Kraitor powered down Main Street, holding off a furious charge as the Cat 3-4 riders crossed the finish line.
"Good sprint. Good road. My teammates helped me," said Kraitor.
"It's actually one of the first races he's finished this year," said Daniel Holt, one of the team directors. "It's nice that he won. We're very excited."
Kraitor and his Novo Nordisk teammates all have Type-1 diabetes. The cyclists, who are from six countries, train in the U.S., in Georgia.
"We know these are good races so we decided to bring all the guys here," Holt said.
As the Cat 5/Citizens racers came down Main Street, there was some confusion concerning where the finish line was located.
The 23-mile Mediapolis to Burlington race was the first to finish, and spectators were standing in front of the blue and white 'finish' signs that marked the white tape line of the finish.
While some riders in the lead pack were sitting up at the stoplights at Washington Street, Zimmer kept his head down and took advantage.
"There was a little confusion," said Zimmer, who entered the race as he trains for triathlons. "I was actually trying to work for a teammate but they went early and I went a little later and by the time everyone was letting up, I came through.
"It wasn't exactly as planned."
Zimmer also was fortunate to avoid a crash just before the riders hit the home stretch.
"There was a couple rough patches on the road. I think people had their head down working hard and caught a bump," he said.
Burlington's Brent Ruther was the highest area finisher, crossing the line in sixth. He, too, barely escaped the wreck.
"I was right next to it. It was right in the middle of the pack," Ruther said. "I just heard it. I think somebody went over their handlebars. I could just hear bikes breaking."
Next up for the cyclists is today's Snake Alley Criterium.
House and Holt both have experienced the Snake.
"I don't even know how to describe it to anyone," said Holt. "It's not really a bike race. It's something different. It's very challenging."
"It's about an hour, an hour and a half of pretty much full gas," House said. "Pain everywhere."

Myra Adele Logan
Physician and Surgeon
Myra Adele Logan was born in 1908 in Tuskegee, Alabama and was the first woman to perform open heart surgery. She is also noted for being a selfless, humanitarian doctor who practiced medicine to serve the community.
She is thought to be the first African American woman elected a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and her research on antibiotics and breast cancer saved countless lives.
Dr. Logan attended Atlanta University in Georgia, graduating with a B.A. in 1927 as valedictorian of her class. She earned her M.S. in psychology from Columbia University in New York. Dr. Logan won a four-year scholarship to New York Medical College and graduated in 1933. She interned as well as served her residency at Harlem Hospital in New York and eventually became associate surgeon. She was also a visiting surgeon at Sydenham Hospital.
In 1943 she became the first woman to perform open heart surgery, in the ninth operation of its kind anywhere in the world. She also became interested in the then-new antibiotic drugs, researching aureomycin and other drugs and publishing her results in the Archives of Surgery and the Journal of American Medical Surgery.
In the 1960s, Logan began to work on breast cancer. She developed a more accurate x-ray process that could detect differences in the density of tissue and discover tumors earlier.
She was also a charter member of one of the first group practices in the nation, the Upper Manhattan Medical Group of the Health Insurance Plan, a concept that houses physicians of various specialties under one roof-which is the norm today.
Dr. Logan was also committed to social issues and was a member of the New York State Committee on Discrimination. She was also active in Planned Parenthood as well as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and after her retirement in 1970 she served on the New York State Workmen's Compensation Board. Her myriad medical and civic achievements led to her election to the American College of Surgeons.

Aaron Sperske, former drummer for Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, is suing the band for pushing him out, reports Entertainment Law Digest.
Sperske's suit claims that he and the three current members of the band had formed an "oral partnership" in 2008 in which the musicians would write songs together and share equally in the band's profits and expenses. He says that the four band members co-wrote the 12 songs on the forthcoming album, Mature Themes, and that he had performed "diligently and competently" as part of the band before the others tried to kick him out in May.
Sperske is claiming now that his ouster from the band was in violation of their partnership agreement. In the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Los Angeles, Sperske is seeking $1 million in punitive damages, as well as a declaration from the band stating that he is still a partner in Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, and therefore entitled to a share of its profits from royalties and performances.
Mature Themes is due out on August 21st and the band kicks off a North American tour in Austin on September 7th.

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly, N.J. has issued a Winter Storm Warning in effect from 3 p.m. on Friday through 6 a.m. on Saturday. The storm in the Montgomery County area of Pennsylvania is expected to bring between four and eight inches of snow.
"Heavy snow" and a "possible trace of ice" is expected in the storm.
We may even see a rare winter thunderstorm, as two weather fronts collide to form what the Weather Service has called "Winter Storm Nemo."
"Any snow Friday morning will change rain during the daylight hours then back to heavy snow late in the day Friday or Friday evening," said the NWS. "One to two inches-per-hour accumulations are possible for a couple of hours Friday night. Northerly winds will gust to 30 mph causing blowing and drifting. There is a small chance of a thunderstorm with the snow."
Montgomery County should not be as badly hit as areas further northeast.
"This region is probably going to be on the edge of the heavy snow, and amounts may vary from what is currently expected," said the NWS alert.
Area residents are asked to stay indoors when possible.
"[The storm] will make travel very hazardous or impossible," said the NWS.

Clippers-Bulls Preview
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD
Posted Jan 23 2014 11:31PM
The Los Angeles Clippers were cruising along without Chris Paul, but now they'll have to recover from a somewhat surprising setback on their road trip.
The Chicago Bulls, meanwhile, seem to keep winning no matter how many players are missing from their lineup.
The Clippers will try to avoid consecutive losses for the first time in a month while the Bulls seek their 10th win in 12 games Friday night at the United Center.
Los Angeles (29-15) had averaged 108.6 points - 3.2 better than its season average - while winning six of eight since its six-time All-Star went down with a sprained right shoulder Jan. 3.
The Clippers, though, shot 6 for 26 from 3-point range as they failed to reach 93 points for the second time in three games in a 95-91 loss at Charlotte on Wednesday.
Since averaging 17.5 points on 65.9 percent shooting in his first four starts, Darren Collison has scored 10.2 while shooting 35.6 percent in his last five.
The Clippers' previous two losses without Paul came at fellow division leaders San Antonio and Indiana.
"We got great 3-point looks," coach Doc Rivers said after his club fell to 2-2 on a seven-game trip. "Some nights they go in and some nights they don't."
While Blake Griffin has become more of a focal point with 26.9 points per game in his last seven, he was limited to one point in the final 12 minutes Wednesday and missed a pair of layups in the final 20 seconds.
Facing another one of the league's top defensive clubs after struggling against the Pacers and Bobcats, the Clippers could have a difficult time bouncing back as they try to avoid their first back-to-back defeats since Dec. 25-26.
The surging Bulls (21-20), who rank second in the NBA with 92.5 points allowed per game, moved over .500 for the first time in two months with a 98-87 win at Cleveland on Wednesday.
D.J. Augustin finished with 27 points and Taj Gibson matched a career high with 26 as those two filled in for injured starters Kirk Hinrich and Carlos Boozer. Augustin has played a key role in the resurgence with 21.6 points per game over his last five while hitting 19 of 33 from 3-point range.
"It's one of the things I respect about our team," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "They respond to every challenge. They have a lot of heart. They're playing together. Each day they have the right approach. If someone's out, the next five get in there and get the job done."
Joakim Noah also has been solid in the middle, averaging 13.8 points and 14.4 boards during a career-best streak of 14 consecutive double-digit rebounding games.
Though Hinrich is expected to miss several games with a hamstring injury, Boozer could return from a strained right calf. He's totaled 49 points in two career meetings with the Clippers at the United Center.
Griffin had a combined 51 points and 22 rebounds in those contests - both Los Angeles victories. He also had 15 points and 12 boards in a 121-82 win over visiting Chicago on Nov. 24 as the Bulls played their first game without Derrick Rose.
The Clippers' 39-point margin of victory was the largest in franchise history.
Los Angeles has won 10 of 12 at the United Center.
I Still fully expect the bulls to bring it defensively so we gotta find some offense throughout the game and take it to the bulls
This is going to be a tough game. I hope the Clippers can bounce back and win this one.
Collison WILL play!
"The Chicago Bulls, meanwhile, seem to keep winning no matter how many players are missing from their lineup."
Are we so troubled on the road that we can't have the same attitude? I mean, come on! We fail against somewhat easy opponents but we make it seem they are good as teams when we play them. I'm frustrated as could be! Yes, we have 15 loses to be in the west....but a lot of those are against eastern teams which are horrible except Heat and Pacers.
I had high expectations with Doc, especially knowing how just in 1 year with the big three (he) won a ring and had barely any problems in the regular season. Knowing through it all rondo really didn't see eye to eye. Are the clippers any much different? Rondo was still freshly new, kg prime, and Allen prime.
I guess, I'm coming off a little too strong and your probably, probably right. We have the skills and the will but are way too inconsistent for a team (despite) injuries. We have players on the bench to help but so far, are waste of money!
I'm tired of the excuses! One player is down and all heck breaks loose.
7-3 w/o CP3 isn't quite all heck breaking lose. We only lost 1 game that we shouldn't have.
What I'm saying that its always something if he in or not. It can be any other player that can be an excuse of us losing.
Is that all you caught in that?
7-3 still keeps up on track with the rest of our season
its hard to believe we have already played 10 games without him though
its good we have gotten good production from blake
and jamal has stepped up as well
JJ's return probably has come in the nick of time too. His production has been up and down (rough for any player to return just before the Grammy trip), but he usually helps the team more than he hurts...the 4 TO's the other night were definitely uncharacteristic. Hope JJ"s sharper tonight.
Most of JJs sporatic play comes from the fact that he doesn't have Cp3 to feed the ball to him on a silver platter,
collision does a good job, but nobody dominates the ball like Cp3
Excited to be back on this site been a long time. Today's game is a little scary for us but I think we can get the W. The bulls have injuries and lost some players but they still come out each night and bring that D. We need redick to hit some shots to really open things up for our team offensively
Should be a good game tonight. Let's all hope Collison is effective even though he's playing with an injury.
Let's go Clips beat the Bulls!
I don't want to get caught up in winning or losing. Of course I want them to win every game, but I want to continue seeing improvement in a lot vital areas.
Defensively- continue to master their rotations. Improve their rebounding from the perimeter players. Continued improvement from DJ and Blake.
Offensively- ball movement. More touches for Blake. Hopefully Collison is feeling better and could provide some dribble penetration as well.
I think when the clips do well in these areas they win anyways, but I'd like to see more consistency from them as a team. I feel like if our 3 ball isn't falling in, the team as a whole just doesn't seem to do their best.
Does anyone else think that it might be better if Collison were to sit this one out? Considering Chicago doesn't have a great PG and tomorrow we have to play Kyle Lowry, Vasquez, and the Raptors, I would prefer Collison take an extra day and get healthy for Toronto.
Somehow, I don't think this will be another 40-point blowout of the Bulls.
If he plays it's more like them being desperate. In term of not having another true pg. We need Blake all around game. Jc can cover it.
One thing going for us,they have no idea what to expect from our lineups (of course we don't either).
So I don't burn brain cells thinking about this,pre-game Ralph says only 4 current NBA coaches have won championships. Doc, Pop, Spolstra (however it is spelled) ,and who else?
I dunno...we beat them pretty bad at Staples. They will be seeking revenge.
Rick Carlisle of the Dallas Mavericks.
Hmmm...Jon Barry's calling the game for ESPN. Not sure I like that.
It will not be easy. They have the last game we played in their mind. On the plus side, Mullens is inactive.
Bingo Redick to start!
Boozer almost never misses against us.
Good sign Matt hits a 3!
Noah is destroying the LAC bigs. Annihilating them. Yikes.
Man, DJ is just watching on defense. He's making the Bulls look like Portland right now.
Mr first quarter back again!
Need to go to the glass they have 6 pts on 6 offensive rebounds already.
JJ is feeling it. Bingo.
Matt another 3!
Mr. First Quarter Redick is on tonight!
Effing Boozer man!
No one wants to play defense today. Lets hope LA can turn its intensity on soon.
Carlos is going off right now but he can't beat us by himself so idc!
A couple of those shots were well contested.
Is the frigid Chicago air messing with the Clippers' rebounding and defense? Lol
Battle of the bigs going on.
Noah 6 points, 3 (all offensive) rebounds, and 3 assist.
Blake 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists!
Boozer has 14 points 4 rebounds.
If Barnes could shoot consistently, then it would help the Clippers a lot. Clippers being 27th in 3PT% is pretty crazy.
We're off to a hot start
Almost don't want Doc to take the hot shooting JJ out...but time to put former Bull Jamal in, and he's already at the line!
If only they could shoot from 3 like this on a regular basis.
Loving what I'm seeing, but we cannot let up.
A 41 point quarter. Nice.
What a drive by Jamal to end the 1st quarter. Great 1st quarter by the guys. Moving the ball and more importantly, moving without the ball. Blake is beasting it.

Comments about Super Sawzall Blade 6-in 18 TPI:
Used this blade for cutting apart pressure treated 2x8s that had been laminated together using deck screws. I was impressed by how it cut through the screws without breaking. The teeth wore down some after cutting about 50 screws, but the set of the teeth was still good, and the blade is still usable.

It was as advertised and expected.
It seems like it will be very durable. There is nothing that I didn't like about it.
All the products that I ordered from you were great
I can't say enough about the product and the logo.
Even though it had not worked for a specific project I am working on, it is a great bag.
Did not have the color in stock that I wanted. It only came in two colors. We're fine with the color we got but would have preferred the other color.
Perfect for our event! The quality is great and the imprint colors look very good.
The only thing I can note is that the black didn't come out "pure" black...seemed a bit grainy. I'm guessing because the cup started white? Dunno.
Kind of disappointed with the inserts for the cooler, thought they would have been made of a more sturdy material
The color on the website had the Loden cooler as more of a Tan, but when we received the sample it was more green. Still liked the look and color, it was just not what I had invisioned. I am glad they offered to send a sample so I could view the cooler ahead of time. The final product was perfect.

It's that time of year where we go through our daily routine, whether we are at work, a restaurant, an event, and say to friends, family and even strangers "Happy Holidays." This is a gesture of goodwill that is not always conveyed throughout the year. Why?
I believe that the holidays are a time of reflection, a sigh of relief that we survived the rigors of life for another year as well as a time to realize the importance of family, friends and our community. It's truly a peaceful time in our society where expressions of joy and laughter are more common.
So how can we maintain a peaceful attitude year-round? Let's first look at the definition of peace: a state of quiet or tranquility; freedom of disturbance or agitation; applicable to society, to individuals, or to the temper of the mind. Wow, peace is a very powerful word. In my opinion, it's perhaps one of the most powerful words in the dictionary.
The true question is: can we be successful at home, work, or even serving our community effectively if we are not at peace? Can we be an effective leader, caring parent or successful employee if we are not at peace? I don't believe we can. However, can we live up to a peaceful mindset on a daily basis? Really? That's a tough question. Can we maintain our temper when someone cuts us off on the road, criticizes us at work or in a public forum, when someone offends our child, parents, etc.?
How do we shrug off hatred, selfishness and vengeance?
As many of you know, I am not a doctor or a psychologist. I am a county government employee and a community servant. My recommendation for us to sustain a peaceful mindset is to consistently focus on it daily. Talking to people face to face is always a great way to create and maintain peace, instead of constantly e-mailing, texting or tweeting.
Listening is another vital way to get to a peaceful mindset, because listening can definitely get to the root of a disturbed mindset. Remember, the human body has two ears and one mouth for a very good reason. Putting yourself in the other person's shoes would definitely give you a different perspective.
When we encounter a moment of personality conflict; I believe that we need to stop, think and reflect before we react. The reaction we convey will always have consequences, either good or bad. Have you ever reacted quickly in a harsh manner and it affected a relationship for many years? Years that you will never get back, all because of a few harsh words? What if you had approached that situation in a peaceful manner?
We have seven days left in our calendar year, and I want to challenge all of us to reflect throughout those days the quality, peaceful relationships that we have as well as the dysfunctional relationships that maintain a hurt feeling in the heart, a strain on our business endeavors, or just tear down our bodies due to stress and anxiety.
After the seven days, let's all work hard daily to mend those relationships for the good of us as individuals and the community as a whole. This will not be an easy task, so daily reflection is essential, and I promise you that if this becomes our No. 1 focus, then we will no doubt have one of our most successful years ever.
Finally, I want to take the time to wish you all Happy Holidays and a blessed 2013. Peace be with all of you!
Elliott Falcione, executive director of the Bradenton Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 941-729-9177, ext. 222.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — City of Lockport
ENDANGERMENT: Alicia L. Alexander, 24, 77 Main St., apt. 702 was charged Thursday with endangering the welfare of a child. Lockport Police said they found Alexander passed out at 293 Market St., lying down half on the grass and half on the sidewalk. She was breathing but was unresponsive. Next to her was a large amount of empty beer cans and an empty stroller, police said. A witness, who was holding the one-month-old baby, said Alexander was drinking heavily throughout the day. She reportedly was so intoxicated she fell over and injured her ankle, witnesses said. Alexander was taken to Eastern Niagara Hospital and given an appearance ticket for city court on Wednesday.
Town of Lockport
LARCENY: A Simms Road man reported Friday to Niagara County Sheriff's deputies that someone took $4,000 from the glove compartment of his vehicle. The man said he withdrew the money because he was opening a new account, but it was late and the bank was closing so he decided to keep the money in his vehicle. He said he usually keeps his vehicle locked, but there's a possibility he left it unlocked at some point.

If you are in the market for a new golf range finder then you are in the right place. With so many choices to choose from it can be incredibly hard to figure out which is the best range finder. Luckily for you, we have reviewed all the top units on the market and narrowed it down to the best 3 golf rangefinders.
Our golf range finder reviews will help you make sure you get the best range finder for your game. Laser range finders offer numerous benefits for golfers off all skill levels. Of course, they are going to help make sure you know the exact distance to the pin but they will also help save you a lot of time out on the course as well. Take a look at our best range finder reviews and pick out the one that is best for you.
Best Overall Range Finder
Bushnell Tour V2 Golf Laser Rangefinder
The Bushnell Tour V2 Laser Range Finder tops of list of the best of the best. It is the smallest and most advanced laser rangefinder on the market and weighs just 6.6 ounces. It provides yardages from 5 to 1000 yards and is incredibly accurate with it's PinSeeker technology which allows you to get distances up to 300 yards to the flag without reflectors.
The Bushnell Tour V2 range finder is tournament legal and can be used when posting scores for your handicap. It also features the standard SCAN mode which allows you to view across the landscape and the LCD display will constantly update with the distances between you and the targets that you are scanning.
Bushnell continues to be the leader in the golf rangefinder market and the V2 laser rangefinder takes their dominance to a new level. The incredible features, accurate distances and compact size puts the Bushnell V2 Laser Rangefinder at the top of our list.
Best Mid-Priced Range Finder
Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder
The Bushnell Medalist Range Finder also come with the PinSeeker technology allowing you to get yardages up to 250 yards to the pin without reflectors. The Medalist comes with 4x magnification and weighs just 9 ounces. It also allows you to get distances up to 700 yards to a tree and is tournament legal as well as allowed for handicap scores.
The Bushnell Medalist uses a Class 1 Laser Beam that is safe on your eyes. The PinSeeker mode lets you measure to the flag without accidentally capturing background target distances. If multiple objects are found, the object that is closest to you is shown on the screen.
The Bushnell Medalist Laser Range Finder is a top pick based on our reviews but does not have as many features as the Bushnell V2 and is not as compact either. However, if you are looking to save a little money then the Medalist may be the one for you.
Best Digital Range Finder
Leupold GX-1 Digital Golf Rangefinder
The Leupold GX-1 Digital Range Finder features Leupold's exclusive PinHunter Laser Technology. The PinHunter technology uses a combination of cutting edge micro-processing circuitry along with an advanced infrared laster to return incredibly accurate distances to the pin against any background.

The battery will last for up to 10,000 actuations and also comes with scan mode that allows you to scan the landscape and get yardages to all the points you scan.
The Leupold GX-1 Range Finder rated out very high in our reviews and only rated lower than the Bushnell units dues less features. However, we would still recommend it for any golfer as it is still a very impressive unit.
These are our top 3 range finders, however, there are many more great units available so make sure to take a look at our long list of best range finder reviews to find the best one for you.

Washoe Test Scores Up
Listen to the story
Washoe County students showed improvement in standardized test scores from 2011 to 2012, according to new numbers the Washoe County School District released.
All Washoe County middle schools and 74 percent of elementary schools showed improvement in math and reading test scores. While 72 percent of elementary schools and 64 percent of middle schools showed improvement in science test scores.
Math proficiency rates rose in every grade, while reading proficiency rose in every grade but sixth, where it was unchanged. And science results among fifth graders set a new record high for Washoe Schools.
Superintendent Pedro Martinez gave credit to the district's teachers.
"It just reinforces my optimism on where our district is going. We're going in the right direction,"Martinez said. "It just confirms the hard work of our teachers. They were under a lot of pressure last year, but they never lost their focus on supporting our children."
The numbers show test results went up for almost every ethnic group; however, there's still an achievement gap for African American students -- along with Hispanics, Native Americans and other minority groups.
The results are from the state's Criterion Reference Tests or CRT.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- GameBrotherZ, the Canadian manufacturer of popular board games, is showing off its newest games at the American International Toy Fair in New York City (Booth #6363).
After watching Spuzzle®, Mister Mailman®, and Boo™ take off in more than 60 countries over the past four years, GameBrotherZ is shifting into hyperdrive this year with the launch of six new products.
Make the right faces!
For the very first time, the original card game MimiQ™ will have visitors making all kinds of faces, as they are asked to "MimiQ" the expressions on the cards they need to win the game.
This card game is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
Each player has to ask opponents for cards by "MimiQ-ing" the faces presented on the cards. If they don't have the requested card, they have to stick out their tongue.
The player who gathers the most sets of 3 cards wins the game.
The Spuzzle game family is getting bigger, to the delight of kids and adults alike:
Spuzzle Strategy®
Build your path with strategy!
Intended for families and children over 8 (2 to 4 players), Spuzzle Strategy is a fascinating puzzle game requiring players to put on their strategic thinking caps.
The goal is to build the longest trail of Spuzzle® pieces while impeding the progress of your opponents.
A ground-breaking innovation in both concept and design.
Spuzzle Disney and Disney/Pixar
The crazy racing puzzle game!
Two years after the launch of Spuzzle Madagascar® (DreamWorks Studios), GameBrotherZ is breathing new life into the experience offered by its most popular game with four more Disney/ Pixar licenses.
So keep an eye out, because Spuzzle Planes, Spuzzle Disney Princess, Spuzzle Cars, and Spuzzle Disney Junior will hit the Canadian shelves as early as this spring.
There are other innovations on the horizon, including the upcoming release of Taxi!Taxi!®, a mad dash through the city to be revealed in October at the Dallas show.
Not to be outdone, Mister Mailman and Boo are coming back better than ever:
Mister Mailman will get 3D figurines, and a new version of Boo will be introduced sometime this year.
About GameBrotherZ Inc.
GameBrotherZ was founded in 2008 by Luc St-Pierre with the goal of reinventing traditional board games and restoring their popularity in the home.
The company achieves product excellence by maintaining the core values that define the GameBrotherZ magic: families are at the heart of what GameBrotherZ does, its board games can be played alone or together, and every game is an opportunity to create a new family memory.
With a presence in 60 countries through mass market distribution (Toys"R"Us, Wal-Mart, Target, Tesco, etc.), GameBrotherZ regularly exhibits at international fairs to present its latest game innovations (NYC Toy Fair - booth 6363, Nuremberg, Chicago...).

Andrew Lloyd Webber fans nationwide can experience his newly staged rock opera sensation "Jesus Christ Superstar" in a whole different way — on the big screen. "Jesus Christ Superstar UK Rock Spectacular" will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 29 and at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 1 at Showplace 12 in Terre Haute.
The special in-theater event features a star-studded cast including actor/singer Ben Forster as Jesus, Tim Minchin as Judas Iscariot, and Melanie Chisholm (aka Mel C from the Spice Girls) as Mary Magdalene.
The theatrical production has been reimagined to capture today's audiences with its classic musical numbers. The evening will begin with an exclusive historical retrospective on the iconic show, including interviews with past and present cast members.
The show will be broadcast to more than 575 select movie theaters across the country. Tickets are available at participating theater box offices and online at www.FathomEvents.com.
"Jesus Christ Superstar UK Rock Spectacular" was pre-recorded by Universal Pictures on Oct. 4 and 5 at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England.
History of the play
The original play, "Jesus Christ Superstar," is a worldwide phenomenon, portraying the story of the last seven days of Christ leading up to his crucifixion as seen through the eyes of Judas Iscariot, and featuring hit songs such as "Superstar," "I Don't Know How To Love Him," "Heaven On Their Minds" and "Hosanna." More than 40 different cast recordings have been released in 19 different languages.
The first production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" was a U.S. arena tour in 1971. It then debuted on Broadway, and in 1972, UK fans got a chance to see the show when it arrived at London's Palace Theatre. Since then, "Jesus Christ Superstar" has rarely left the stage, with professional productions in 42 countries around the world and with about 300 amateur productions officially licensed each year.
"Fans have enjoyed this amazing musical for 40 years, but the 'Jesus Christ Superstar UK Spectacular' event promises to put a whole new spin on a time-honored classic," said Shelly Maxwell, executive vice president of NCM Fathom Events. "Movie theaters will be turned into concert arenas as this spectacular event rocks fans nationwide."
Universal Pictures filmed two nights of the 21-date arena tour, the first in the UK, for worldwide broadcasts to cinemas as well as DVD and Blu-ray release in early 2013 internationally.

The OpenDaylight SDN controller
Bright Future
Several well-known companies are collaborating on the foundations of future SDN products under the umbrella of the OpenDaylight open source project.
The OpenDaylight project [1], founded in April 2013, is a "community-led, open, industry-supported framework for accelerating adoption, fostering new innovation, reducing risk, and creating a more transparent approach to Software-Defined Networking" (SDN). OpenDaylight operates under the auspices of the Linux Foundation and has the support of major players in the networking industry: Brocade, Cisco, Juniper, and Citrix are in the front row, along with Red Hat, IBM, and Microsoft. The project aims to create a foundation on which the members will then build their SDN products. The code is mainly written in Java and Python and is licensed under the Eclipse Public License (EPL) 1.0.
The first tangible result of the collaboration is the Hydrogen release from February 2014. Hydrogen is actually a complete SDN software distribution, because OpenDaylight consists of numerous subprojects that develop individual components. Synchronized semi-annual releases are planned to ensure consistency.
At the core of OpenDaylight is the SDN controller. Its components share a Java Runtime and communicate with each other via function calls. Below this control layer is the southbound interface (as shown in Figure 1), where everything that is more tangible than the control plane resides.

VALDOSTA — Don't get the Blazers wrong; when they are on the field each afternoon and night for spring practice, they are working hard. When they're not on the field or in the classroom, they're having fun, though, and lots of it.
In between team meetings, practices, classes, study halls and dealing with the circulating speculation that coaches are leaving for other schools, Valdosta State football players are actually having a lot of fun.
Since beginning spring practice Feb 15, the reigning Division II champions have practiced nine times, shot a Harlem Shake video and made a trip to Atlanta where they were honored for their championship at the Georgia State Capitol.
"This spring practice has been a fun one, for me and my teammates," linebacker Jeremy Grable said. "We did the Harlem Shake video, we went to the Capitol. It has been fun."
Add in a few rainy days and scheduled off days, and the Blazers have also gotten some down time during their normally busy and chaotic spring practice.
"It has been different this week," quarterback Cayden Cochran said. "I was talking with Kaleb Nobles today, since the rain washed our practice Monday and then we had the Capitol on Wednesday, it felt like we hadn't practiced in a month. It was weird coming out here. It has been loose."
Regardless of the fun and different spring, Cochran said players still know what is expected of them by the coaching staff and that the team is hungry to win another national championship.
"Guys know what is expected of them and they know there is a drive of what to go get," Cochran said. "We've been there before. Now we have something pushing us forward to want to do it again."
