Moonwalker, also known as Michael Jackson: Moonwalker, is an American anthology film released in 1988 by singer Michael Jackson. Rather than featuring one continuous narrative, the film is a collection of short films about Jackson, several of which are long-form music videos from Jackson's Bad album. The film is named after the dance technique known as the moonwalk, which was one of his trademark moves. The name of the dance move was dubbed by the media, not by Jackson himself; however, he did choose the title of the film himself. Moonwalker was a success at the box office, making a total of $67,000,000 worldwide. (more) (less)

"Man Down" is a song performed by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, taken from her fifth studio album Loud (2010). The song was sent to US rhythmic and urban radios on May 3, 2011 and was released as the album's sixth single in the United States as well as in certain countries internationally on July 11, 2011. The song was written by Shama "Sak Pase" Joseph, Timothy & Theron Thomas, and Shontelle Layne, with production completed by Joseph. "Man Down" received positive reviews from music critics, with many calling it a comeback of Rihanna's Caribbean-tinged rhythm. In the US, despite only being released to rhythmic and urban radios, the song peaked at number 59 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number nine on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. In France, the song went number one, whilst reaching the top twenty in Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and on the UK R&B Chart. The music video, directed by longtime collaborator Anthony Mandler, sees Rihanna shooting a man after being attacked, singing how she regrets her actions. Due to the violent nature of the video, The Parents Television Council criticized the singer and attempted to ban the video with no success. "Man Down" is included on the set-list of Rihanna's 2011 Loud Tour and 2013 Diamonds World Tour. (more) (less)

"Rehab" is a song by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, released as the eighth and final single from her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). Def Jam Recordings serviced the song to contemporary hit radio in the United States on October 6, 2008. "Rehab" was released in the United Kingdom as a CD single on December 8, 2008. Development of "Rehab" began while Rihanna was accompanying Timbaland on Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveShow tour in 2007. Timberlake wrote the song in collaboration with its producers, Hannon Lane and Timbaland, and provided additional vocals. "Rehab" is a mid-paced R&B song with an emotional, melancholy chorus; the lyrics are about the protagonist's painful memories of her former lover, who is portrayed metaphorically as a disease. Critics were divided on the song's production and composition, some comparing the structure to that of Justin Timberlake's 2007 single "What Goes Around... Comes Around". "Rehab" reached top-ten positions on the singles charts in Austria, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway and Slovakia. It reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart and number 18 on the US Billboard magazine's Hot 100. Anthony Mandler directed the accompanying music video, which was shot in Vasquez Rocks Park, near Los Angeles. It won the Urban Music Award for Best Music Video. Rihanna performed "Rehab" on the Good Girl Gone Bad Tour (2007–09), and occasionally on the Last Girl on Earth Tour (2010–11). (more) (less)

"Rude Boy" is a song by Barbadian singer Rihanna, taken from her fourth studio album, Rated R (2009), that was released as the third single from the album on February 19, 2010, through Def Jam. Rihanna co-wrote the song with Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Ester Dean, Makeba Riddick, and Rob Swire, with Swire also co-producing it with Eriksen and Hermansen, known together as StarGate. "Rude Boy" is an up-tempo song and incorporates elements of raggamuffin, pop and R&B. The song received mixed to positive reviews from critics; some called it is the highlight of the album, but others criticized Rihanna's "monotone" and "icy" vocal performance. "Rude Boy" peaked at number one the US Billboard Hot 100 in its fourth week for five consecutive weeks, and was Rihanna's sixth US number one single. It was a commercial success globally, peaked at number one in Australia and attained top five positions in Germany, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Slovakia and the United Kingdom. The accompanying music video was directed by Melina Matsoukas, used greenscreen techniques and featured props that included a stuffed lion and zebra. Rihanna performed the song live for the first time at the Pepsi Super Bowl Fan Jam in South Beach, Miami, and later on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Nickelodeon's 2010 Kids' Choice Awards, and Alan Carr: Chatty Man. "Rude Boy" was also featured on the set lists of Rihanna's Last Girl on Earth, Loud and Diamonds tours. Ester Dean's demo of "Rude Boy" leaked onto YouTube on September 7, 2010.[1] Some analysts have described the lyrics as being sexually explicit. (more) (less)

"The term 'graceful' in its most basic sense of 'being full of grace' well applies to the life of James Petigru Boyce. God's grace gave him rich resources of theological wisdom as well as a winsome personality. These led to his becoming a key leader among the Southern Baptists, one who inspired others to embrace his deeply-held, God-glorifying goals. As such, his was a life that profoundly shaped this Baptist community in the late nineteenth century and still speaks powerfully today of the importance and impact of a Christian life lived for the glory of Christ."
-Michael A G Haykin
Long out of print, this volume promises to be a favorite especially among those who long to see the reformation of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Himalayas simply need no introduction to the world, isn't it? Many poems, stories and novels have been dedicated to the glory of Himalayas and why it shouldn't be? After all, Himalayan range has some highest mountain peaks, longest stretch of mountains and extreme geographical conditions one can imagine. With the passage of time Himalayas came to be known for other things as well, adventure in particular. Himalayas are now better known for adventures such as trekking and in language of travel and tour operators, it's called Himalayas trekking tour. Trekking to this unique place will take you through a destination that has captured the imagination of adventurers across the world. Many have gone on to describe Himalayas trekking as a perfect blend of excitement, adventure and self realisation. During the entire trek, you have to face some seriously high, cold and extreme places. Don't forget, Karakoram, india's highest peak, is located here only.
To be very honest with you readers, many trekkers, particularly from west, have been critical of India as trekking destination. They must have some logic to criticise it but contrary to the belief, trekking in India means a gigantic variety. Apart from Himalayas trek, you can go for mountain biking in Himachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Sikkim and so on. Trekking in India is not just an adventure but more than that. It's a never ending learning experience. You learn new culture, meet up new people and come to know how diverse mankind can be. The essence of diversity can be experienced in Himalayas alone. From some seriously high mountain peaks to holy shrines, world heritage sites, sacred temples, picturesque landscapes, beautiful valleys, stunning peak views and enriched tradition of local people, the trekking expedition to this country means a lot of things.
If you are coming with your family which has kids as well, it's recommended to trek in the foothills of Himalayas. But in case you are an experienced trekker and want to measure the greatness of Himalayas on own, there are some extremely high altitudes waiting for you. There are several trekking routes of Indian Himalayas. No matter which route you prefer, India will overwhelm you with its nonpareil charm of cliffs and villages. The world's largest mountain range will offer superlative view of colourful mountains, diverse landscapes, wide range of flora and fauna and so on. Being part of Himalayan landscape and scaling its height is a life time experience.

RALEIGH — Police investigating a reported suspicious car recovered 11 stolen guns and arrested two 18-year-old Raleigh men on a dead-end downtown street early Wednesday morning.
Erik Timothy Stammers of 4309 Oak Park Road and James Alexander Russo of 2901 Hostetler St. were arrested in the 500 block of Washington Street, off Glenwood Avenue and a short ways from where the street stops at railroad tracks.
Both were charged with felony breaking and entering, larceny of a firearm, felony larceny after breaking and entering, possession of marijuana with intent to sell and distribute it and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Stammers was charged with two counts each of breaking and entering and two of larceny after that.
Russo faced additional charges of possession of stolen property and possession of burglar's tools.
Officers had been dispatched to Washington Street after police got a call about a suspicious car in a parking lot there, spokesman Jim Sughrue said.
When they got there, they found Stammers and Russo in a car with two other people and, while questioning them, found the guns, Sughrue said.
"Someone did what we are always asking people to do: Call if you see something you think is suspicious," Sughrue noted.
Arrest warrants cited July 15 and 16 for the break-ins in Stammers' case, both at a house in the neighborhood where he lives, and July 15 for Russo.
Both men were accused of taking a handgun and 10 rifles and shotguns taken from the house.
The second count against Stammers charged that a Kindle e-reader was taken.
In an arrest warrant for Russo, police said the burglar's tools were a hammer, a chisel and a key to the house from which the guns were taken.
Both men were due in court Thursday, and were being held pending that appearance.
Stammers' bail was set at $53,500 and Russo's at $44,000.

Lost Girl Episode 217
"The Girl Who Fae'd With Fire"
Written By: Emily Andras
Directed By: Brett Sullivan
Original Airdate: 10 August 2012
In This Episode...
Hale asks Kenzi to be his "date" to a royal party his father is hosting for the ruling fae clans. His father and sister are horrible bigots (against humans) and Hale hoped that if they thought he was dating a human, it would change their view of humans and eventually work together against the Garuda. Plus, Hale is obviously in love with Kenzi.
Bo works with Dyson on a new case: the leader of clan Bukharin seems to have spontaneously combusted, leaving nothing but a pile of ashy bones. Days later, the head of clan Finarvin is killed in exactly the same manner. Trick identifies the assassin as a cherufe, a fiery underfae. So that means Hale's father, Sturgis, who is head of clan Zamora is either going to be the next victim - or he is the one who hired the assassin.
It turns out to be a little bit of both. Sturgis finally admits to Bo that the heads of the three clans joined forces and hired the cherufe to obliterate a fourth clan, Scarfati, who was seen as an imminent threat. In exchange for wiping out the dangerous clan, the heads of the three remaining clans must give the cherufe their first-born daughter every 100 years. They broke the pact, and the cherufe is back to collect. Bo confronts the cherufe in the kitchen of Sturgis's home. Luckily there happens to be a tank of liquid nitrogen on hand. Bo douses the charufe in it, it freezes, and a simple knock smashes it into pieces. Bo tries to use the threat to get the stuffy royal clans to put aside their differences and team up to fight the garuda. Only Sturgis is receptive. He pledges his help, and even starts treating Kenzi with a modicum of respect.
Also: Hale catches Dyson screwing his younger sister and punches him in the face. Kenzi tells Nate - who is jealous of her fake-date with Hale - that she loves him. Bo catches Nadia snooping through her things. Later, she slices her hand open on a kitchen knife, and when Lauren walks in, pretends that she doesn't know how it happened. But she knows. She is up to no good.
Dig It or Bury It?
I almost felt like this episode was in a foreign language. There were so many different clans and titles and names I stopped trying to write them all down. But in general it was a fun episode. There was a lot going on - not much action, but enough humor and hatred to keep things moving along smoothly.
Fae Tales
The cherufe is an underfae made of magma. It can light its victims on fire, travel the world as magma, and disguise itself as solid rock. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius that wiped out Pompeii was a cherufe. Clan Scarfati resided in Pompeii.
We also meet a pombero, a fae who can take someone's voice. Hale's sister, Val, is a pombero. Frankly, it seems like a wasted talent - better as an annoyance than anything useful.
Bo loses her memory.

By Scott Scanlon – Refresh Editor
Rhonda Rotterman had so many interesting things to say for this week's Refresh "What are you eating?" Q&A – which will be published Saturday – that I wanted to share lots more from her in this blog.
Rotterman, 47, of Kenmore, has found it easier to eat well and exercise more during the last couple of years. It shows. Since last year, she has been the overall winner of the National Physique Committee Miss Buffalo, Miss Rochester and Miss Northern Kentucky competitions.
Program director for the University at Buffalo Institute for Person-Centered Care– which looks to set better and more compassionate standards for elder care – she also is featured this month in No Nonsense magazine, which targets those really, really, really serious about fitness.
You're ripped. What was key, nutrition-wise, to build your body?
Off-season or getting ready for competition, because there's two different methods?
When getting ready for competition, you're not looking to build muscle at that point, you're looking to drop body fat. The cardio becomes key, primarily in the morning on an empty stomach. You're still lifting weights but you're not lifting weights for size, you're just looking to maintain what you already have. You're no longer in the building phase. You're just looking to lean out to prepare your body to hit the stage, so you're stripping away all of your body fat and eventually you strip away all your water, too, because you only want to see skin and muscle.
So dietary-wise, you're focusing on proteins, primarily from animal sources – chicken, turkey, fish – and you're eating a lot of vegetables instead of complex carbohydrates, because even though people think of vegetables as merely vegetables, vegetables do contain carbohydrates, although it's lower and they are primarily in fiber and water and vitamins.
What about when you're building muscle?
You have to have the complex carbohydrates with the good proteins and the vegetables. Your muscles have to have a certain amount of sugar in order to grow, in addition to the protein sources. So you're having carbohydrates with all of your meals, with the exception of later in the day when your body tends to slow down. And when you're working those weights, you're really working them very hard, so you're tearing down those muscle fibers and fueling your body with protein and sugar so that they, in turn, grow. When you hear competitors refer to off-season, you might see them and they don't look like they're stage ready. They're fluffier, if you will. You don't see a lot of the striations and the definition. We just look bulky till it's time to take that all away.
We scale back on the cardio. We still do cardio, but not as much. You want your body to respond when you're getting ready for competition. I think a lot of people, whether it's fitness or competition, especially females, they hit that cardio ad nauseam, and what that does is your body adapts. Our bodies are very, very smart, and if you're hitting your body constantly with cardio, then it gets used to that. And if you try to scale off and you don't change your dietary habits, you can get into a metabolic syndrome where you're actually putting weight on relatively quickly. So the more cardio you do, the more you have to do to get your body to respond.
When you talk about carbs, what sort of carbs are you eating?
Complex carbs would be things that have fiber in addition to the carbohydrates, so you're talking about sweet potatoes, brown rice or wild rice, oatmeal, any of the fiber cereals.
You want a carbohydrate that is not going to spike your insulin, so you want something that's going to burn slower over a longer period of time. When you spike your insulin, it tells your body to store energy that is not being used, so you want to keep your insulin at a pretty steady state throughout the day so you're not spiking it with simple carbohydrates and having it plummet. That also triggers your hunger response.
What are your energy foods?
If I'm looking to get energy quickly, that's when I would use a simple carb. So a white rice or white potato or something that's going to give me that quick energy. The quickest form of energy is always a sugar, so a honey or something that's going to get into your bloodstream. I'm not a real big proponent of high fructose corn syrup or any of those additives, so if I'm going to have a sugar, it's going to be a real sugar, and not a molecularly modified or fabricated sugar. So an iced tea with regular sugar or honey.
The staples of your diet?
Clean proteins: Chicken, fish, turkey. I don't eat a lot of red meat, ever, even if it's off season ... complex carbs and vegetables with every single meal that I eat.
Do you have any favorite vegetables?
In Western New York we don't have access to a lot of fresh things regularly, so summer's great because you get all of the tomatoes and cucumbers and squashes and beans, and all of the fresh things from the farmers markets. Those are my favorites. Off-season when we're having to rely on imports, I'm still a big fan of sweet peppers, cukes, celery.
I don't eat a lot of fruits for my complex carbs. If I do, it would be a grapefruit or apples, which are my go-to fruits if I have them.
In salad, romaine lettuce, cabbage ... I try to get whole foods as best that I can.
A food you can't resist?
I do resist it, but my favorite cheat food is pizza. When I tend to have a cheat meal, that tends to be my go-to thing.
How often does that happen?
Off season, far more likely than I would like to admit to your readers. Off-season is probably once or twice a week for a cheat meal. Which is why I don't compete in the fall typically. I do enjoy the summer. It's such a finite amount of time in our region, so we have a lot of family picnics and weddings and showers, and a lot of functions that involve some great food. If I'm competing, I can't really indulge in any of those, so I tend to compete in the spring. My go-to time is right after the holidays, and so I'm in the zone, which works out perfectly for me.

Can anyone help me out here? I tried to follow the workflow to delete the old database files but now I'm running into the error because I didn't remove the SQL server. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of the old SQL server so the Vault installer can create a new one? Thanks.
EDIT: I figured out and uninstalled the server. I now get a random error asking me to remove all the data from the previous SQL server. I have deleted the data from the SQL directory. Where else do I need to get rid of data?
The installation is probably still seeing the filestore folder. Look in one of these spots depending on your operating system,
Windows 2003/XP - C:\Documents and settings\all users\application data\autodesk\vaultserver\filestore
2008\Windows 8 - C:\Program Data\Autodesk\VaultServer\Filestore
Thank you very much Mr. Herrero. I greatly appreciate your comment. It was seeing the Filestore under the program data structure.

Portland's 2035 Comprehensive Plan Proposed Draft available for review and comment
Portlanders are invited to view and comment on the long-range plan for the city that will guide growth, change and improvements over the next 20 yearsRead More…
Phone: 503-823-7700
Curbside Hotline: 503-823-7202
1900 SW 4th Ave, Suite 7100, Portland, OR 97201
Thanks to your efforts to reduce waste, recycle and compost more, Portland residential customers will see a slight decrease on their monthly garbage bill, beginning July 1, 2013. Overall, rates are down about 1 percent.
Since changes to the curbside collection service went into effect in 2011, Portland residents have reduced garbage going to the landfill by 37 percent, while increasing composting and recycling. At the same time, garbage and recycling companies have reduced costs for collecting food scraps and yard debris and the cost for composting those materials remains less than landfill disposal.
This rate decrease for residential customers comes even with other increases in disposal costs, including investments in cleaner, less-polluting trucks.
New rates can be found by calling your garbage and recycling company or at www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/rates.

PALM BEACH, Fla. | Redskins coach Mike Shanahan met with reporters Wednesday morning at the NFC coaches' breakfast at the NFL annual meetings here. They were his first public comments since the Senior Bowl in late January. Shanahan spoke for 64 minutes, addressing topics big and small.
Regarding the $36 million salary cap penalty imposed by the NFL, the Redskins "found out an hour before" the start of free agency on March 13, Shanahan said.
News of the penalty broke the day before, but the Redskins didn't hear official word from the league until later. Washington was docked $18 million in 2012 salary cap space as part of the sanction.
Shanahan stayed united with owner Daniel Snyder and general manager Bruce Allen in declining to comment on the arbitration process through which the team is disputing the penalty. He vowed to speak about the matter after it has been resolved. No date has been set for the hearing.
Shanahan also would not comment on how the penalty has impacted the Redskins' offseason plan to add players, but it's quite clear it has.
Most notably, inside linebacker London Fletcher remains unsigned.
"I can't get into detail; all I can say is we want him," Shanahan said. "There's conversations ongoing between agents. That's part of the process. We'll let that take its course, but I'm hoping he's part of our organization, and I expect him to be."
The Redskins also targeted free-agent wide receiver Eddie Royal, who dined with Redskins' brass early in free agency. Washington never had an agreement with him, Shanahan said, and Royal signed with San Diego. "You've got to make some tough decisions relative to the cap."
Here's thinking those decisions would be easier with an additional $18 million in cap space.

Robert Hof, Contributor
I cover the collision of advertising and the Internet.
Everyone wants to know which lucky startup will be the Instagram for video, hoping to see if Facebook will spend another billion dollars to buy it–even if it's unlikely there is in fact an Instagram for video. Either way, Socialcam apparently just got a big angel funding round as it battles Viddy and others to be the next meal for Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Honestly, though, I can't tell you from personal experience what Socialcam's prospects are for exit stardom, because I refuse to use it. Why? It's a bully. At least the Facebook version of the app is: In order to see videos on Facebook posted by friends using Socialcam, I have to agree to install the app. And here's what that installation allows Socialcam to do:
"This app may post on your behalf, including videos you watched, videos you shared and more."
"And more"? Seriously?
Given constant changes both apps and Facebook itself make in privacy and account settings, you'd think most people by now would be a little more cautious about installing stuff that gives a company carte blanche to scrawl all over your Facebook page. But apparently not.
Look, I know Socialcam isn't alone in this kind of coercion. The Washington Post Social Reader app does the same thing, so does Rdio, so do hundreds of others for all I know. Which is why I don't use those services either.
And yes, I know I can tweak my app settings so my video views can be seen on my Timeline only by "close friends," or even "only me." Supposedly. Forgive my cynicism, but how soon before Socialcam or Facebook makes some change in settings that suddenly reveals what I've been watching? (I'm sure they'll apologize, though.)
Some people also might argue that, well, don't watch anything you'd be embarrassed to reveal to the world, or at least your friends. Problem is, I don't necessarily know in advance from looking at the thumbnail that something is NSFW. Even at that, some of the videos I've seen friends post definitely don't look safe for work. I really wonder if they know that what they viewed was exposed to all their Facebook friends.
Ultimately, I don't want to think about it in the first place. I just want to check out the damn video, period, without someone, least of all hundreds of "friends," looking over my shoulder–unless I so choose to let them.
But mostly, I don't like being railroaded. You want me to watch and share this video? Then stay out of my business and let me do it. Otherwise, I can assure you that, even if you're the next Instagram, I won't be one of the users helping you run off with the next crazy bag of money.
"Otherwise, I can assure you that, even if you're the next Instagram, I won't be one of the users helping you run off with the next crazy bag of money."
One day over a week ago my Facebook wall had 4 posts from friends who had viewed a video on "Socialcam". The video thumbnail looked like a picture of a girl in a bikini on a beach. This is how Socialcam is spreading. I flagged the 4 posts as spam. They were removed by FB.
I am a user of Social Cam personally, & was never a fan of the Facebook relationship hence why I made a SocialCam account & did not use the "login w Facebook" link …. with me saying that, this article just went to sh*t … Your argument and point of view simply means you failed to create a SocialCam account when that is what you clearly wanted to do. I personally just like you do not want any of that Facebook action and guess what, I don't have any of of it. Instead of writing an article saying how you hate the app, why not do one educating not to use the Facebook link sign on if you don't want the relationship. I love the app and have no issue w a Facebook social cam relationship since I didn't sign in through it. Thank You for your time.
What I find most interesting in this article is that you notably point out Socialcams 'battle' with Viddy, yet you leave out the fact that Viddy does the same sort of sharing with Facebook as Socialcam does. When watching a video from Viddy you will receive a similar disclaimer which reads.. 'this app will post on your behalf, including videos you watched, people you liked, and more.' So my biggest question would be; Why does this article single out Socialcam? Why not have the title read ' Why I hate Video Sharing apps' or something similar? Also, something very ironic.. When wanting to leave a comment for this article I was forced to make an account. I've received three emails from Forbes already, not to mention the lovely little disclaimer below claiming that you are now allowed to 'call-out' my comments across the Forbes network. Sort of seems a little bully-ish, no?
Viddy doesn't import videos from YouTube and pass them off as their own. Oh and Viddy responds to customer service emails.
I dont understand why my comments get shown though…so you have to call out someone elses comment in order for yours to be viewed without clicking "expand comments"? Basically I have to click "expand comments" to see comments that are directed to the article?! or am i mistaken? If i have that right then that doesnt seem very fair that i have to "call out" someone just for my comment to be seen, which is directed towards the article in the first place. Doesn't make if so.
Check out Burst.It
Video sharing app. It gives you all the privacy you desire on videos and photos.
Totally with you. Note to friends: if you want me to watch your video, upload it to YouTube and post a link, just like we've always done. If you *don't* want me to watch your video, post it using a new service I have to sign up for that demands control of my Facebook account.
I feel the same way about the batch photo uploading app a friend worked on. Is it really that hard to just upload a bunch of photos that I don't have to use an app to see? Don't make me work to see your photos–you do the work if you want me to watch.
Just by the look of some of the titles and 'thumbnails' that say a friend watched 'this' video, I can say they either wouldn't watch the video or wouldn't want everyone knowing they watched it. Another friend asked how to delete the app.

Chip Kelly says there's a lot of work to do in a short time, but he's excited to be the new head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kelly, who formerly coached at the University of Oregon, took questions ranging from his coaching philosophy to roster personnel during a news conference to formally introduce him Thursday afternoon at the Eagles' NovaCare Center.
Who is Kelly? In four years at Oregon, he won 87 percent of his games. This season, the Ducks averaged close to 50 points a game on offense.
Many fans seem overjoyed that Kelly, who first turned down the organization, decided to come to Philadelphia after all.
The coach said he was working hard not to get distracted from the Fiesta Bowl in which his Ducks were playing just after the New Year. He met with three organizations in 36 hours.
What did he like about the Eagles?
"The team showed me their passion, and the people in the organization showed commitment," he said.
His offense was fun to watch at Oregon, scoring 24 touchdowns this season in less than a minute.
But the coach wanted to make clear that he understands all facets of football, pointing out that he has a passion and a thirst for the game and an understanding of offense, defense and special teams.
And his offense won't just be about passing: "We can score anyway we can. We can run the ball or throw the ball. We will put players in the best position to score."
On the other side of the ball, Kelly pledged to have an "attacking-style of defense."
He declined to discuss specific coaching choices as far as coordinators go. And he shied away from questions about specific personnel, like whether his quarterback would be Michael Vick or Nick Foles, pledging to evaluate everyone not just on tape but in person.
Overall, he pledged to do what he can to improve the roster, but said, "The Eagles have a lot of youth and speed. I'm excited about that and I believe that we can win."
As for how that player selection process will go, Kelly said, "My role is defining what we want. What are we looking for in each individual position? No one individual can do it all."
He said he doesn't take his selection as coach of the franchise lightly, noting there is a "standard of excellence" for which the Eagles stand, and he even name-dropped great past players like Vince Papale.
"We have one goal which is to get to the Super Bowl," Kelly said. "Football is a team deal. The best team wins."
FOX 29's Howard Eskin pointed out Wednesday that, by his count, just three college coaches without previous NFL experience have gotten to the Super Bowl since 1966. Two of those were Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer with the Dallas Cowboys.
But Eskin agrees that times are different, and offense wins in the NFL.
In fact, all of the coaches hired this offseason, so far, by NFL teams have been better known for their offensive tactics.
As for the new coach's introduction to the media Thursday, Eskin tweeted that he was "actually impressed" with Kelly and said he "sounds like straight shooter."
Wednesday (83/62): Sun/Clouds
Refreshing Forecast
Wednesday will feature another comfortable day with below average temperatures and low humidity. Highs in the upper 70s/Low 80s. Expect a mix of sun and clouds.

In light of recent speculation about the effect of overseas investors and property buyers in the Australian market, Rick Otton has revealed some of the facts behind the hype and the story. Mr Otton, a best-selling author and property educator, explains how the effect of overseas investors and money flowing into the Australian property market can have the effect of distorting sales prices.
(PRWEB) July 03, 2014
Well-known and respected authority on the Australian property market, Rick Otton, has recently addressed media speculation that wealthy foreign investors are putting upward pressure on sales prices of Australian residential property.
There has been a lot of reporting lately by several well known media outlets, including The Australian, about the effect that foreign cash is having in property prices in this country, said Mr. Otton.
The theory goes that wealthy investors from overseas, especially south east Asia and China, bid on properties in Australia that are in excess of their actual worth. The reasons are diverse, from side-stepping restrictive home ownership laws in their own countries, to being drawn to the attractive features of the Australian property market such as the yield and potential for capital gains, explained Mr. Otton.
The reports go on to say that this is having the effect of pricing many mum and dad buyers and investors out of the market, said Mr. Otton.
Weve got a situation where the regulatory authorities, such as the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Foreign Investment Review Board, are saying that this isnt a problem. At the same time, buyers agents on the ground, particularly at auctions are saying that its an open secret in the property market in Australia that foreign cash is inflating asset values, Mr. Otton went on to say.
The basic rule is that supply and demand will determine prices. What were seeing is that supply is limited, especially at the premium end of the market, and demand is definitely high, as shown by rising property prices over the last 12 months, said Mr. Otton. If you factor in buyers from overseas thats only going to add more demand to the market, he went on to say.
With all of these strong opinions and different points of view, its sometimes easy to get disheartened as an investor and assume that the chance to make money has passed by, said Mr Otton. What I would say to people who are feeling that way is that there are ways to make money in an expensive property market, as well as a cheap one, if they are prepared to use some creative and innovative real estate investing strategies, Mr. Otton said.
With research and work, these strategies can pay handsome dividends, even when the prevailing market sentiment is negative, as stories like this one show, said Mr. Otton.
Mr Otton invites investors interested in hearing more about his innovative and proven strategies to subscribe to the free iTunes podcasts at http://www.CreativeRealEstate.com.au.
For over 24 years property investment specialist Rick Otton has built an impressive real estate portfolio using innovative strategies that he has developed that dont require taking out traditional bank-type loans. He constantly refines his techniques as he buys and sells properties through his We Buy Houses business, which operates in Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
A gifted speaker and educator, Mr Otton conducts regular free seminars across Australia, which build on the concepts he shares in his book How To Buy A House For A Dollar. The book was voted by Money Magazine and Dymocks Book stores as one of the Top 10 Most Popular Finance Titles for 2013.
He regularly broadcasts, records, and publishes the transcripts of, his iTunes podcasts via We Buy Houses Radio.
Known for his innovative low-risk, high-reward approach to Australian real estate investing, Rick has been featured in a variety of television programs and magazines, including Today Tonight, Hot Property and Australian Property Investor.

Tonight, an Albemarle County family is mourning the death of their son, a former track star at Albemarle County High School. Kelly Watt died Saturday at UVA Medical Center.
The 18-year-old collapsed from heat stroke while running along Ridge Road Tuesday evening. An officer found him in a ditch four hours later. Temperatures climbed into the 90's that day. Watt's father described his son as a great athlete and student.
"He was an over-achiever, but he was a very humble, easy-going shy child, not what I would call one of these cocky people. And he got along with everybody, said Paul Watt, Kelly Watt's Father.
Watt ran track all four years of high school. He was expected to run track at The College of William and Mary this fall.

By Les Masterson
Danvers, Mass. – Kimberly Hammond Donahue knew she had to do something for Lulu, a German Shepherd that was abandoned at the Spoiled Rotten Doggy Daycare.
Donahue learned of Lulu's plight on the one-year anniversary of her father's passing. Her father loved German Shepherds and she felt it was a sign. She just had to help Lulu.
Lulu's previous owner left her at the doggie daycare and never picked her up. She was abandoned.
After more than a month of taking care of Lulu, Spoiled Rotten Doggy Daycare needed someone to take her. Donahue volunteered to board her until a forever home could be found for the German Shepherd.
There was a problem. Danvers Animal Hospital, which has provided medical care for Lulu, reported that the dog has a medical condition called esophageal diverticulitis, which requires immediate corrective surgery to allow her to eat and not regurgitate her food. The problem hasn't been treated for years, said Donahue.
If she doesn't get the surgery, her condition will worsen and can lead to a secondary condition, such as an infection in her lungs, which can be fatal.
"While the situation is guarded, she has a good chance post-operation as she is still not too old at 6 years old. Prognosis is not favorable without surgery. As she ages, she will not be able to tolerate secondary complications and infections that will start to take over," said Donahue.
Donahue is getting Lulu evaluated by Angell Memorial Hospital, which is the closest facility that can perform such an operation. The operation could cost between $5,000 and $8,000 depending on the severity.
Raising Money for Lulu
Donahue can't afford the operation and has set up a GoFundMe page in hopes of raising at least $5,000 for the operation.
"I know this dog came to us to bring folks together for a good cause; she's a kind soul," said Donahue.
Seventeen hours after Donahue creating the account, she has raised $725 for Lulu. The $725 is a great start, but she needs a lot more so she can save Lulu. Donahue said her 16-year-old son even offered to take money out of his college fund to pay for the surgery immediately.
"He is so much like my Dad who just passed, and he is already trying to solicit donations from all his friends at Bishop Fenwick where he is a junior," she said proudly.
Donahue said that any money raised beyond the cost of surgery and medication costs will be donated to the Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem in hopes that it can be used for rescued dogs with special needs.
"I do love dogs... and I do feel she deserves a second chance. I met her as my dog has gone to Spoiled Rotten over the years and they are all committed there to helping me help her get better and have a loving home.
"For me, it's sentimental and personal. I grew up with the most loving German Shepherd, and they were my Dad's favorite breed. My Dad passed away this past year and on the exact one-year anniversary of his death this dog showed up in front of me with her situation. I do feel it's a sign… and yes, my faith is strong regarding how these sort of things come to each of us."
Both Donahue and Spoiled Rotten staff are committed to get Lulu healthy and give her a second chance.
"We are her guardian angels, as she has not had an advocate until this point. Every soul deserves a chance," said Donahue.
To donate for Lulu's cause, go to the GoFundMe page created for raising money for Lulu.

This article is in response to the letter, "Mormon beliefs do differ from other Christians" written by David Nowak (Sept. 2, Viewpoints).
I appreciate Mr. Nowak, a non-LDS Christian, for sharing some of his thoughts concerning the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called Mormons).
I would also like to thank the Weatherford Democrat for allowing me the opportunity to share my opinion, as a Mormon, concerning what has been written.
The Mormon church does accept the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price as divinely inspired authoritative standard works. Whenever a prophet speaks under the influence of the Holy Ghost, those words are authoritative and represent the mind and will of the Lord (2 Peter 1:20-21). God in all ages of the world communicated with his children through prophets. The prophet Amos taught, "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets (Amos 3:7). Just as the words of ancient biblical prophets (and apostles) were authoritative to those early Christians who were privileged to hear them, we also accept the words spoken by prophets whom God has raised up in these latter days to prepare mankind for Christ's second coming. Since God sent a prophet, John, to prepare the way for Christ's first coming, wouldn't it seem consistent that Christ would send prophets to prepare the way for Christ's second coming?
Yes, we do believe that the Bible is the word of God as far as it is translated correctly. It is a fact that omissions and errors have crept into the Bible as it has been translated down through the ages. However, it is inaccurate to suggest that Mormons believe that the Bible is far below the other standard works because it is full of errors. I have great love for the Bible. I firmly believe that individuals and nations have been and will be greatly blessed by abiding by its teachings and precepts.
Paul taught that "in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established" (2 Corinthians 13:1). We believe that the Bible is a witness of the divinity of Jesus Christ written by the descendants of Judah living in Palestine. We believe the Book of Mormon is a second witness of the divinity of Jesus Christ written by descendants of the tribe of Joseph that migrated here to America. Ezekiel 37:15-20 describes how these two records will come together in the hands of people in the last days.
From your viewpoint you have stated: "The only authoritative scriptures given by God are the 39 books of the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible. God promised to preserve his word and to suggest that the Bible was mistranslated and corrupted would be to call God a liar."
All of us, Mormons as well as other Christians, need to be careful not to read into the Bible claims which the Bible does not make for itself.
Nowhere in the Bible do I find the apostles or prophets teaching that the current Bible is all the scripture that God will ever give to his children. Nowhere does it teach that the heavens are closed, that God will not speak to his children through prophets and provide additional scripture. Mormons believe that the Bible predicts the coming forth of the Book of Mormon and the restoration of Christ's church in the last days.
We humans, with our limited understanding, cannot always understand why God does what He does (Isaiah 55:8-9). We sometimes believe that our arguments are so logical that they can't possibly be flawed.
From the viewpoint of a person who does not believe in God or the resurrection, his arguments may seem quite valid, especially if this life is all there is. He could argue that if there is a God, an all-powerful, all-loving God would not allow such extreme pain, misery and sorrow to fall upon his children. He could argue that evil should not be present in this world since that would thwart the purposes of God. However from the Christian's viewpoint, a Christian would argue that such a person does not understand man's free will, that this life was meant as a test of one's faith. That evil sometimes triumphs, at least for a short time, but ultimately truth will triumph in the end. The Christian understands that all of our losses and disappointments will be made up to us, if we remain true and faithful during this short mortal existence.
God has given man his free will. God knows that man is human and that he will make mistakes and do things contrary to His wishes and desires. However, God made provision for man's sins and weaknesses through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
God uses men despite their weakness and frailties. Could it be that God realized that through the ages mankind either purposely or by accident would make errors in translating the Bible? From our limited viewpoint, who's to say that God could not foresee this and make provision for such an event?
The prophet Nephi in the Book of Mormon states, "because of the many plain and precious things which have been taken out of the book (the Bible), which were plain unto the understanding of the children of men, according to the plainness which is in the Lamb of God—because of these things which are taken away out of the gospel of the Lamb, an exceedingly great many do stumble…"
According to the 2000 version of the World Christian Encyclopedia there are over 33,000 Christian denominations world-wide. Among these Christian denominations are different opinions such as what one must do to be saved? What does it mean to be saved? Is baptism essential? What is the relationship between faith and works? and etc.
Ephesians 4:11-14 teaches that apostles and prophets are required in the church to bring people to a unity of the faith.
You have stated, "If God were to give additional revelations they would be consistent with any prior revelations…"
It is true that additional revelation sometimes provide greater insight and clarification to a previous revelation. However, I believe that this is not always the case. Consider the following:
With the atonement of Jesus Christ, the New Testament represented a New Covenant, a fulfillment of the Old Covenant as found in the Old Testament. Believers in this new covenant were no longer required to live under the laws and ordinances of the Mosaic Law. Many of the Jews could not accept these new revelations taught by Christ and his apostles because these new revelations went against their beliefs and traditions.
In New Testament times, the Apostle Peter received a new revelation instructing him that the gospel was to be taken to the Gentiles which was not consistent with previous teachings.
In conclusion, the Latter-day Saints believe that God has raised up prophets in these last days in preparation for the second coming of Christ. That God has brought forth additional scriptures. The purpose of these prophets and scriptures are to testify to the world of the divinity of Jesus Christ, and to help His children come closer to Him.

The symposium will bring together a variety of experts to address a number of pressing security issues currently facing the U.S. and international community.

text: Built for children between the ages of six and nine years, the 2011 BETA Minitrial has a single-cylinder engine with a single trial seat. It has driver-only foot pegs, and the engine displacement to weight ratio is 0.53cc. The two-stroke engine has a displacement of 49cc, and the bike has a kick starting mechanism. For a bike of its size, the Minitrail has remarkably powerful performance. It is quick to get up to speed and handles very well on offroad trails. Fuel capacity is expectedly low, so the bike requires refueling a lot of times with a gas/oil premix fuel. However, it is not meant for long-distance travel, so the small fuel tank should not be an issue. The bike, which is manufactured in Italy, comes with a six-month warranty that protects against major defects in workmanship and manufacturing. Overall, the 2011 BETA Minitrial makes a great choice for young riders who are looking to start a new hobby on the Motocross trail.
