The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.

Apologizing for Ann Coulter
by Nancy Scola, Sat Mar 03, 2007 at 05:51:40 AM EST
Edwards campaign manager David Bonior responds, via email:
Did you hear about Anne Coulter's speech this afternoon attacking John? A friend just forwarded me the video and it's one of the worst moments in American politics I've seen.
I can't bring myself to even repeat her comments. Her shameless display of bigotry is so outrageous you actually have to see for yourself to believe it.
This is just a taste of the filth that the right-wing machine is gearing up to throw at us. And now that it's begun, we have a choice: Do we sit back, or do we fight back?
I say we fight. Help us raise $100,000 in "Coulter Cash" this week to show every would-be Republican mouthpiece that their bigoted attacks will not intimidate this campaign.
Bigotry seems to me a strange choice. Is this really what's at issue here the disparaging of someone for being homosexual? Coulter probably would have called him a "salamander-head" or "potato-face" if it would have riled up the crowd as well. RedState's Mike Krempasky kindly stops by MyDD to challenge the idea that this strain of conservativism is a monolithic herd -- he says of Coulter, "what a waste of breath," and points to a post he made some ninth months ago where he called her "despicable." Hot Air's Bryan Preston says Coulter was over the line, belittling "faggot" as this year's "raghead." And over at the Corner, Kathryn Jean Lopez says that this is just Ann Coulter being Ann Coulter.
Precisely! The Ann Coulter that showed up CPAC was a known-quantity ordered up to entertain the troops. She's exactly who might appeal to the young CPAC-goer in 2007.
There's an opportunity here to move away from this language of "denouncing" and everyone running around after everyone else to say they're sorry. Back in 1980, Ronald Reagan announced his candidacy with a "states' rights" speech in Philadelphia, Mississippi -- where three civil rights workers had been killed in 1964. Why? One reading is that Reagan was personally so deeply racist that he would celebrate the murders of those working for racial justice. Seems more likely to me his motivation was more likely this -- he just thought it would work. It would propel his campaign and get him votes.
Was it important that Reagan apologize? Or was it a chance to spotlight just what some people are willing to do to win an election?Update [2007-3-3 11:35:31 by Nancy Scola]: I attributed a Hot Air post to Michelle Malkin when it was in fact the work of her editor Bryan Preston. I regret the error.
Update [2007-3-3 12:55:50 by Jerome Armstrong]: Mitt Romney and Ann Coulter at CPAC

A new liquor store focusing on craft beer rather than hard alcohol will soon pop up on North Halsted Street near Belmont Avenue.
Members of the South East Lake View Neighbors approved owner Paradeep Patel's business proposal during their Monday night meeting after his initial presentation to the group in November. But while the store was approved, there were some contracted stipulations.
To avoid attracting "transient" people to the neighborhood, the new store isn't allowed to sell any hard alcohol costing less than $10 a bottle. That's compared to his liquor store in Roger's Park where the minimum is $5.
"I'm agreeing to the $10 floor price because the idea is to focus on craft beer, not liquor," Patel said. "I think I'll be able to succeed still. My focus is going to be on the craft beer because it's an emerging sector in the alcohol industry."
Located at 3151 N. Halsted St., Patel's new store will fall just one block outside Ald. Tom Tunney's (44th) new ban on liquor licenses for taverns and liquor stores.
Patel said the success of the store will depend on the consumers, but he intends to target the customer looking for craft beer or high quality wine that might not be found elsewhere. To his argument, he added that those aren't the kind of liquors people are drinking when getting into trouble.

Patel said he would have preferred a $7.50 floor price in the contract, but he agrees that the high price limit will deter problem drinkers.
"As a liquor store owner, I can say we also don't' like to deal with transient people," Patel said. "A lot of times they take the money out of their socks. I don't want to touch their money, my people don't want to touch their money."
"Liquor licenses by definition are not liked by anybody," Patel said in November. "I have four businesses in this community, and after purchasing them, I completely remodeled them… I do tend to make a boutique store."

This was a quality toy, but the picture on the sight showed a more mature designed picture for an older child, and the one I got had Winnie the Pooh on it. My son is younger and liked it anyway, but if you have an older child it could be different. Quality is great though, just as good as the ones in a store that cost more.

In-form Concord and Chelmsford clash
10:50am Tuesday 21st January 2014 in Sport
CONCORD host Chelmsford tonight in Essex's biggest non-league derby.
Both are in very decent form and a win for the Clarets could see them draw level of points with Concord, who are just three points off the play-off places.
This Skrill South fixture which was originally set for December 28 but was called off because of a power failure at the Aspect Arena.
Yesterday Concord's chairman Antony Smith said the pitch was still a bit soggy in places but had a "70/30" chance of being ready to stage tonight's match.
Concord's trip to Tonbridge fell victim to the bad weather on Saturday but Chelmsford played and thrashed Whitehawk 4-0.
Goals from Rob Edmans, Luke Callander and a Michael Cheek brace took manager Mark Hawkes' league record to four wins, two draws and one defeat since taking over the job. His tenure has also included a penalty shoot-out defeat in the county cup – to Concord.
During the same period, Concord have had five wins, two draws and two defeats.
Tomorrow's fixture has all the makings of a humdinger, including a backdrop which saw Concord boss Danny Cowley turn down the Chelmsford job before Hawkes was appointed, and the that some Clarets fans reacted angrily following the late postponement of the derby over the Christmas period.
Kick-off tonight is 7.45pm. Supporters should check the game is on before travelling.

It was a bitter-sweet night at the Teen Choice Awards for the cast of Glee.
The hit Fox show took home the award for "Choice TV Comedy." Cast member Lea Michele, who also won a Teen Choice for "TV Actress In A Comedy," thanked the fans for their support after the death of Glee star Cory Monteith.
Lea and Cory were a couple on the screen as well as off. Cory died last month, from a drug overdose.

FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- The Japanese yen /quotes/zigman/4868099/realtime/sampled USDJPY +0.0688% was under renewed pressure Friday after a news report said a final communique to be issued by Group of 20 finance ministers and central bankers this weekend won't repeat an earlier Group of Seven pledge that members "will not target exchange rates." The line will be left out because it wouldn't be acceptable to China, Reuters reported, citing an unnamed G-20 official. The dollar erased an earlier loss to trade at 93.41 yen, up from around 92.85 yen in North American trade late Thursday. The euro was up 0.3% versus the Japanese currency /quotes/zigman/4868097/realtime/sampled EURJPY +0.0042% at 124.57 yen.

Hiring for Attitude: Recruiting and Selecting People with Tremendous Skills and Superb Attitude
Date:January 15, 2013 at 11:00 - 12:00 PM ET
Mark Murphy, CEO(Leadership IQ)
Leadership IQ researched 20,000 new hires and learned that 46% of them failed within 18 months. But even more surprising than the failure rate was that when new hires failed, 89% of the time it was for attitudinal reasons. Only 11% of the time it was for a lack of skill.
Technical competence remains the most popular subject of interviews because it's easy to assess. But it's a lousy predictor of whether a newly hired employee will succeed or fail in your unique organization. Attitude is the factor that successful organizations like Google, Apple, Southwest Airlines and the Ritz-Carlton hire for, and attitude is what your organization should be hiring for.
Based on Leadership IQ's top-rated research and CEO Mark Murphy's bestselling book, Hiring for Attitude will teach you some of today's cutting-edge hiring practices that reveal if candidates have the right attitude to fit your culture.
Just a few of the things you'll learn by attending Hiring for Attitude:
• One question to reliably assess a candidate's "coachability" and what their last boss really thought of them (coachability is the #1 reason new hires fail)
• Key research results from Leadership IQ's hiring studies including the results of our work with textual analysis that reveals if someone is a high or low performer just by the pronouns and verbs they use during the interview
• 6 words that make behavioral interview questions ineffective
• One sentence to say when you think candidates are lying to you
• 2 quick tests to discover the attitudinal characteristics your organization must include in interviews
• Why interviewers should never ask "tell me about yourself" or "what are you strengths and weaknesses?"
• One question that reveals if somebody goes "above and beyond"
You'll also learn how today's best companies are recruiting for attitude including how to write pitches that attract high performers and repel low performers. You'll find out how top organizations are building talent pipelines of candidates with the right attitude, and how they are using Hiring for Attitude to create even higher engagement among existing employees.
Who Should Participate
Innovative HR professionals who aren't afraid to challenge and debunk traditional management practices that have become outdated and useless. If you're looking to be extraordinary, and to hire extraordinary talent, this is the program for you.
What You Will Learn
The 5-part interview question that reveals if people are "coachable" (and that famously asks candidates to spell the last name of their previous boss)

A brainchild of the CCOM Alumni Association, the Apollo Mentoring Program was launched by the Office of Development and Alumni Relations in the winter of 2002 as a way to involve a very special group of individuals — those with outstanding experiences who could guide and facilitate learning — to help educate Midwestern University students.
Who are these special people? You, the mentor alumni of Midwestern University.
Named after Apollo, the Greek deity who gave the medical caduceus staff to the god Hermes, the program has inspired nearly 200 Midwestern University graduates from the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, the Chicago College of Pharmacy, the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, the College of Pharmacy–Glendale, and the College of Health Sciences to connect with those who will soon be following in their footsteps as health care professionals.
The no-cost program offers a chance for students and mentors to build relationships and network in today's fast-paced world through the convenience of e-mail. Our students say the information from our alumni has been invaluable. Our alumni say the response from our students has been most gratifying!
Joining is easy!

Daily Star
---- —
"Where are the French?" Uncle Chet asked from across the table where we were having coffee.
"The who?"
"Weren't they supposed to run this new war, Sarkozy in the lead plane? We were going to hand this off to our European allies, but now, it's American cruise missiles in the air, CIA advisers on the ground, almost $700 million pumped out of the Treasury so far."
"So far as we know," I said.
"And I'd like to know where that money's going," he said. "When we spend $700 million, it doesn't disappear; it just goes from public hands to private hands."
"To stockholders in the arms dealers," I said.
"And oil companies," he said. "War runs on oil, and oil runs on war; the two go hand-in-hand. Why else do we park our Navy in the Red Sea, if not to act as an escort service for Exxon and BP?"
"Got to have that gas, and not at $4 a gallon."
"So another war over oil," he said. "And I could almost go for this one, except for our miserable track record."
"I'm surprised to hear you say that," I said.
"Have you noticed that every war we get into lately seems to start the same way?" he said.
"How's that?" I glanced out the window at a pile of firewood that needed to be stacked and covered before it rained tomorrow.
"There's always a militant billionaire," he said. "A dirt bag, the focus of evil for the Western world, who's got a big cache of weapons and an army that terrorizes the locals."
"That sounds right."
"You can't have a war without a villain, so we always find one, one we can loath for all the murdering, raping, gassing, lying, cheating, torturing he's done over years when he was our ally."
"Sorry, Moammar, Osama, Noriega, those days are done," I said.
"And once we cross them off the list, they're dead meat, and any move to defend them or question the new war is akin to treason."
"You're either with us or against us," I said. "Isn't that the Bush Doctrine?"
"In the last 20 years, we've been at war with Saddam, Osama, Saddam again and now Moammar, while on the other side we've had our allies, the lovers of democracy, the freedom fighters, the young have-nots fighting desperately because they're fed up with the ruling class."
"But why is it exploding now?" I said.
"Rising food prices, expanding Internet," Uncle Chet said. "The key is the Internet, a way for people to share their misery and organize. We'd never have seen anything in Tunisia or Egypt, let alone Libya, if not for Facebook and Twitter."
"They're changing the map," I said.
"My question is how do we act as the world turns toward economic democracy? Do we keep coddling dictators as they're playing along, then turn on them as soon as there's a hint of rebellion? Or do we stand against the autocrats, sultans and corporate bosses, who've rigged the economic system, bled the middle class and filled the world's prisons?"
"Or we could just stack the wood," I pushed my chair back.
"Or we could tell the truth, act ethically," Uncle Chet said. "We could decline to dine with the Saudi king. We could refuse to back any regime that isn't popularly elected and where wealth is hoarded by the few. And we could refuse to attack, intervene, blow up anyone unless the United Nations agrees to act in concert to start and finish wars, with everyone chipping in."
"We could, but I don't think we will."
"No, we'll just keep finding bogeymen and firing missiles, sending troops off until the rebellion reaches our own shores."
"That'll work as long as they can get volunteers to `be-all-you-can-be,"' I said.
"That's why they got rid of our manufacturing jobs," Uncle Chet said. "Now, for a lot of us, that is all you can be. Want a steady job, with benefits, in the USA? Just sign here, then slip into that uniform."
Cooperstown Bureau Reporter Tom Grace is traveling with his Uncle Chet, who he says is imaginary. Grace's column appears every other week. For more of his columns, visit www.thedailystar.com/tomgrace.

Staff and wire reports
Oklahoma's farms and ranches didn't disappear when the 2008 farm bill expired at midnight Sept. 30.
Oklahoma agriculture experts agree Congress could wait until March to approve the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2012 without damaging American agriculture.
Senators and representatives left Washington, D.C., in September. They aren't scheduled to return until after the Nov. 6 election. The House passed its version of the farm bill in June, but the House version has been stalled because leaders don't have the votes to make larger cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly called food stamps.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he didn't bring the farm bill up for a vote because he didn't have the 218 votes to pass it.
"We've got people who believe there's not enough reform in the farm bill that came out of committee. We've got others who believe there's too much reform in the bill," Boehner told The Associated Press recently.
The House Agriculture Committee approved the bill in July by a 35-11 vote, with chairman U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., praising the bill.
"This is a balanced, reform-minded, fiscally responsible bill that underscores our commitment to production agriculture and rural America, achieves real savings, and improves program efficiency," Lucas said at the time of the bill's passage out of committee.
During a visit to Enid in August, Lucas said the House Agriculture Committee is the least polarized of all House committees, despite the differences of some of the members.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said House Republicans had the votes to pass the bill, but plan to add it to talks between Congress and the White House about spending cuts and the nation's $16 trillion national debt.
"Unfortunately, House Republicans left Washington without passing comprehensive, multi-year food, farm and jobs legislation, leaving thousands of farming families exposed," Vilsack said. "U.S. agriculture is fighting to maintain the tremendous momentum it has built over the past three years, but with natural disasters and other external forces threatening livelihoods of our farmers and ranchers, certainty is more important than ever."
Against the grain
Rhetoric from fiery presidential and congressional races might make Americans think it's rare for a farm bill to lapse before Congress approves the next bill and the president makes it law.
Oklahoma State University assistant professor Jody Campiche said only two farm bills in the last 40 years have been enacted prior to the Sept. 30 deadline.
"It's not uncommon for a farm bill to expire," she said.
Campiche is an agriculture policy expert. She holds a doctorate from Texas A&M. She received her bachelor's and master's degrees from OSU.
Only the 1973 and 1977 farm bills were approved before their predecessors lapsed, according to a July 25 Congressional Research Service report.
It's also rare for Congress to extend provisions of a previous farm bill, Campiche said. Usually, Congress passes resolutions continuing the authority and providing money for mandatory programs.
The 2002 farm bill required five extensions after President George W. Bush twice vetoed the 2008 version, Campiche said.
A sure thing
Blayne Arthur, Oklahoma Department of Agriculture associate commissione, said the farm bill delay isn't ideal, but it isn't a critical situation, yet.
Campiche agreed, saying the 2008 farm bill applies to crops planted this year, but harvested in 2013.
Oklahoma's producers are planting winter wheat now. The 2008 farm bill's provisions would apply to this crop when it's harvested next year.
"We've dealt with it (delays) before," Arthur said.
The Senate and House versions of 2012 farm bill do away with the direct payments that put billions in the pockets of U.S. farmers whether or not they plant a crop. Subsidized crop insurance will protect producers from bad weather or a price trouble.
Oklahoma producers know this, Arthur said.
The switch didn't draw much of a protest from farm groups. It does create concern, Arthur said.
"Producers don't have a big (profit) margin," Arthur said. "It's a little challenge. They are looking at their numbers differently. It makes (crop) decisions more difficult."
Passing fancy
A new farm bill will be approved, Campiche and Arthur said. The timing is up in the air.
It could win approval in the lame-duck session of Congress in November or December, but Campiche said Congress might wait until the start of 2013.
A delay into the new year comes with a new set of problems. Many of the 2008 farm bill programs would revert to 1949 permanent law. Market conditions were much different back then. Instead of direct payments, the government guaranteed a minimum price for the dominant crops of the day.
The bottom price for corn was $5.70 a bushel. Corn, today, sells for more than $7.50 a bushel. In this instance, price supports wouldn't kick in. However, the wheat support price in 1949 was $13.13 a bushel. Wheat is trading at approximately $8.50 a bushel today. The government would be paying a lot of money to wheat producers under permanent law.
Of course, some crops, like soybeans, weren't prevalent in 1949 and aren't considered a program crop. All United States Department of Agriculture support would end under permanent law.
"It's unlikely Congress will let that happen," Campiche said.
Chris Day of the Stillwater NewsPress and staff writer Robert Barron contributed to this story.

Your hair is the black night of the lovers
Your face is the shinning moon in that night
I sit silently , look at you for hours
Interested in you, in that sweet sight
Your eyes are green garden full of roses
Your rosy cheeks have two forbidden apples
Your lips are made of sweet red berries
Show me white pearls as they show smiles
You 're soft like the wings of a butterfly
You're soft like the ray of the drowsy dawn
You're soft like a blue sky in which I fly
You're soft like a dew- drops of that fresh lawn
You are my eyes by which I see your charm
You're my ears by which I hear a nice song
You're my pleasure from God to forget your harm
You're my heart beating fast, forgive your wrong
No food, no drink, no breath, but I need you
I can't live without you, you are my life
I need you closely, who is like me, who?
You've hurt me, in my heart you've stabbed your knife
You've stolen my heart and let me alone
My queen, Have your slave! But give him a dose
Day and night, I always see you and moan
I'm afraid I lose my lovely red rose
I wrote this poem but you inspired me to write this poem so you gave me this favor. you remembered that these words had been mentioned in our chat, please accept my kisses habeeby.
good luck

We especially thank everyone who made our Tri-County Conquer 5K a success. It was a success in many different ways including raising awareness about the issue of sexual assault as well as raising money. Approximately 80 people either participated in or volunteered in the 5K and approximately $1,200 was raised.
We thank the following businesses for their contributions: Road ID, Sherry's Tomato Grill, Cracker Barrel, Gondolier, Regency Cinema 8, Kroger, Books-a-Million, Mi Casa, Vega Photography, Family Hair Designs, Beauty Works, Union College Bookstore, B&H Shoe Store of Corbin, Rack Room Shoes, Laurel Cookie Factory, Flav-O-Rich, Patriot Steakhouse, Dino's and Christopher Chiropractics. We also thank both the Times-Tribune and the Corbin News Journal for their coverage of the event.
We appreciate the assistance of Constable Ron Bowling and the Corbin City Police Department in providing traffic control as well as the Whitley County Emergency Squad in providing medical support. We also appreciate Rep. Regina Bunch in supporting our mission by participating in the awarding of medals.
We would not have been able to host the 5K without the wonderful support of our volunteers. Thank you very much for your help in making our Sexual Assault Awareness Month event a great success.
We are fortunate to live and work in a community where collaboration, concern for others and a willingness to help are highly valued. We hope to continue to work with you in the future. We appreciate your commitment to our agency and your commitment to end sexual violence.

SAN ANTONIO -- A group of boys in San Antonio found what some experts say could be the fifth largest cave in Bexar County.
It all started with a hole they discovered while exploring The Ridge at Lookout Canyon.
"We got bored," said 11-year-old Ethan.
So, they did what boys do: They poked at it.
Ethan said, "I just stuck my hand in. It was kind of humid, so I took a picture."

"We stuck our phones in it and found stuff inside it. It was really cool," said friend Brendon.
The pictures they took with the cell phone started a spelunking adventure and expeditions launched by their fathers, who want to remain anonymous.
"There's no telling what's down there," said one dad. "We just wanted to make sure if they were going down there, nothing was going to happen."
Through pictures, the cave appears extensive, with stalagmites and stalactites and features that rival some more famous caves in the area.
