Cardinals' search for head coach suddenly 'wide open'
We hear Cardinals team president Mike Bidwill appears to be in no great rush to find a new head coach.
Brown has a torn right triceps and probably will not play this season. Arizona placed him on injured reserve Friday.||||||| Coach Ken Whisenhunt revealed the extent of the injury at his Saturday news conference, saying the five-year starter will require surgery, with an anticipated recovery time that would approach the end of the season. Brown was injured in the first half of Arizona's 31-27 preseason victory over the Oakland Raiders on Friday night.
The Arizona Cardinals have agreed to terms on a five-year contract with Levi Brown just three days after he was released by the team in a salary cap move. Brown, the fifth overall draft pick in 2007, was cut loose because he would count nearly $17 million on this year's salary cap.||||||| Brown has been a starter since his rookie season, moving from right to left tackle in 2010. While he has struggled at times, he was praised by coach Ken Whisenhunt for improvement as Arizona finished last season 7-2. He is the second offensive lineman to agree to terms with the Cardinals this week. Free agent guard-tackle Adam Snyder did so on Wednesday.
The Arizona Cardinals have released Brown in a salary cap move.||||||| Brown, who started 75 games in five seasons with Arizona, has a contract that would have counted nearly $17 million against the team's cap for the coming season. The move was expected regardless of whether the Cardinals are able to lure quarterback Peyton Manning. However, with Brandon Keith a free agent, the team is without both of its starting tackles from last year. Arizona made Brown the fifth overall player taken in the 2007.
The Cardinals lost starting Brown - their first-round pick in 2007 - to a strained knee during Sunday's 31-10 home win over Miami.||||||| The extent of Brown's injury is unclear, and it is unknown if he'll be in the lineup for the Cardinals next Sunday at Washington.
Brown was inactive for Sunday's game against Carolina due to an ankle injury.||||||| Brown, Arizona's first-round pick this year, likely will be replaced by Elton Brown.

Kashmir Hill, Forbes Staff
Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
Being a member of the Facebook founder's family won't protect you from having your privacy breached on the social network. On Tuesday night, Randi Zuckerberg — older sister to Facebook's CEO — posted a photo from a family gathering to Facebook (of course), showing her sisters using Facebook's new Snapchat-esque 'Poke' app on their phones, with Mark Zuckerberg watching with a confused look on his face. It popped up on the Facebook newsfeed of mediaite Callie Schweitzer who subscribes to Zuckerberg. Assuming the photo was a public one, Schweitzer tweeted it to her nearly 40,000 Twitter followers. Zuckerberg was not pleased.
"Not sure where you got this photo," she tweeted at Schweitzer. "I posted it to friends only on FB. You reposting it to Twitter is way uncool."
"I would hate for a private photo of mine to be public and would never want to do same to others," replied Schweitzer, deleting the photo. While she was nice, others preferred to be on Santa's naughty list. Buzzfeed nabbed the endearing photo and posted it. The fact that the photo captured the Zuckerberg family using a Facebook app that exists to undermine the permanence of photos is just the start of the irony here…
Schweitzer explained that the photo had popped up in her newsfeed. Zuckerberg then realized that she had fallen prey to Facebook's complicated privacy setting machinations. Perhaps with the help of the Facebook expert at hand, Zuckerberg figured out what had happened: Schweitzer is friends with one of the people in the photo, and so was able to see the otherwise private photo because a friend was tagged in it.
Zuckerberg pulled back on her Internet road rage, and accepted Schweitzer's apology in a tweet that she has since deleted:
By this point, of course, it was too late for the photo not to become news. Zuckerberg can at least comfort herself by remembering that she is not the first Zuckerberg to be flummoxed by Facebook's privacy settings. Back in 2009, Mark Zuckerberg had his whole profile — including photos and his events calendar — go suddenly and dramatically public after a Facebook privacy setting overhaul that seemed to take him by surprise.
This is the difficulty of Facebook. Despite simplifications and "shortcuts," the privacy settings are not always easily navigated. Sensitive information can unexpectedly leak. Even if you manage to master Facebook's settings, your friends' selections as to who can see their content may wind up undermining your privacy decisions.
Rather than faulting the social network, Randi Zuckerberg preferred pointing the finger elsewhere.
After deleting her exchange with Schweitzer, older sister Zuckerberg — who previously worked at Facebook and specializes in marketing – spun the privacy breach as Schweitzer's fault. She offered a lesson in digital etiquette on Twitter: "Always ask permission before posting a friend's photo publicly. It's not about privacy settings. It's about human decency."
That's richer than the egg nog many of us were drinking yesterday.

Randi Zuckerberg On Keeping It Real In Bravo's 'Silicon Valley'
How Target Figured Out A Teen Girl Was Pregnant Before Her Father Did
She didn't have a scumbag friend that took her picture and shared it. A friend of her friend saw that picture in the friend's feed, and shared it with everyone thinking the picture was public (cause how would she know otherwise?). That's no scumbag friend. That's poor facebook controls.
Simple is setting your picture to "Friends only" and the picture is only seen by friends. However, since FB has multiple rulesets it allows that can supplement or supercede other rules it becomes more difficult to tell who will actually see what. Kashmir is correct here. I don't think you've come into a situation yet were the different possible rules have come into play, or you have show thing to more people than you wanted and you just don't realize it.
Or maybe you have the time and patience to look through all the settings, and look at the different scenarios that are possible from those, and fully grok the implications of these and post perfectly each time.
Either way the point is Randi Zuckerberg doesn't understand the "easy" FB settings, went on a marketing blitz last year to get rid online privacy, got pissy when she lost some of hers, and then blamed "digital etiquette" for the problem after she realized what she did makes her paycheck (FB) look bad.
The person took the photo FROM Facebook and posted it ON Twitter.
To be honest, everyone involved in this "story" seems to be a bonafide idiot.
anyone who puts *any* pictures on the internet is an idiot. especially people who post pics of their children. you get what you deserve.
Can I borrow your tinfoil hat? I feel it would help bring more paranoid-conspiracy into my life. Once you've done that, I think we should all go live under a rock on Mars with our ears held tightly shut. Would definitely save from having to look over your should constantly for fear that someone is out to get you and just waiting for you to post a picture on the internet so that your life can be ruined, house foreclosed, car repoed, spouse divorced, etc, etc, paranoid moronic crap.
Or maybe posting a picture on the internet isn't that big a deal.
You must not understand the internet completely.
You're apparently not familar with 'getting dox'd' because it is a form of 'indentity theft/e-bullying' that HAS messed up people's lives/lost jobs due to facebook/even commited suicide due to people leaking 'private' thing onto social networks. See: recent conviction of college boy who posted gay pictures of his in-the-closet roommate , roomate killed himself, kid just got sentenced to a LONG time in jail. All precedents aside, as far as the 'conspiracy' being just a 'theory' anymore (especially post-911 where the hell have u been since 2008)
the post above you is more correct, otherwise you'll learn the hard way like so many others….
The NSA would also like to have a talk with you here:
God Bless
If everyone acted with human decency, there would not be any news or celebrities. The mere fact that there was a "breach" shows that no one is exempt. If you don't want someone to see it or wanting to block certain people from view of it, don't ever post it on the internet. At some point, there could be a change in algorithm that WILL make it visible even for a couple of minutes.
Amazing how these are even 'issues'.. this is why I dont have a Facebook account.. my online presence does not revolve around Facebook.. thank you very much.
Digital Lesson, Ms Zuckerberg – if you put it on the internet, it is not private. If you wish to share images with your famous brother, You can text them with more privacy. If you don't want people seeing it, don't put it in the tubes. Pretty simple.

Rep. Barber protests Tucson mail center closure

TUCSON, Ariz. -- U.S. Rep. Ron Barber is slamming the U.S. Postal Service's decision to shutter a mail processing center in Tucson and ship all outgoing mail in southern Arizona to Phoenix.
The Morris K. Udall Post Office on Cherrybell Avenue processed its final batch of outgoing mail last week. Barber said the decision not only costs 300 jobs but also is the end of Tucson postmarks for most mail in southern Arizona. The only way to get a local postmark now is to wait in line and have a letter hand cancelled.
Barber said he wrote a letter to Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe warning him that businesses that rely on speedy mail delivery will see increased wait times and consumers will see other service cuts.

— DALTON, Ga. - Classroom meetings are hard enough when teachers struggle to explain curriculum, and parents press to learn why their children aren't making better marks. Language barriers makes the encounter even more treacherous.
Schools here are turning to their own kids for help.
Students from Morris Innovative High School are translating at parent-teacher conferences in local elementary schools. Their work eases communication difficulties, say school officials, and gives the translators real-world experience.
"When you talk about a child's grade, it can get emotional," said Paige Watts, the teacher at Morris High School who lines up translators for three local elementary schools. "All the student translators have made things gel better between teachers and families. They've helped a lot, and I've watched them mature and grow up through the process."
A language gap looms especially large in this northwest Georgia county, home to the world's carpet and flooring industry. More than one-quarter of the population speaks Spanish at home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. More than half of those are not proficient in English.
"They want to know how their kids are doing in school," said sophomore Estela Fuentes, who has translated in some parent-teacher conferences. "They want their kids to succeed, and they need to get information that would be hard to get normally. I really wanted to be part of that process."
Fuentes said she's happy to help parents understand what's happening in their children's classrooms. Junior Ronaldo Adame said the work also gives the translators practical experience.
It looks good on college applications and resumes, said Adame, and could lead to part-time work.
The program launched in a high school that opened in 2009 as a haven for students who needed extra help. School officials kept down class sizes at Morris Innovative High School; it enrolls 480 students in grades 9 through 12, while Dalton High School has 1,440 students.
The Morris curriculum also blends online and real-world teaching.
These days, the school created for failing students is increasingly popular among those in Dalton Public Schools who like its classes and programs.
The Morris student translators are also helping give the school exposure in the community. They've worked at a health fare and will have opportunities to work with a local carpet manufacturer and in a college admissions office. Students will also shadow translators at a local hospital.
The program is still in its first year, but Roan Elementary School Principal Cindy Parrott said the student translators have proven themselves.
"We started using them earlier this year, when they came over for a couple of hours to help with the conferences," she said. "After a while, we didn't even have to explain things to them anymore. They picked up the educational vocabulary and didn't need a lot of assistance."
Details for this story were reported by The Daily Citizen in Dalton, Ga.

For Colleen Johnson, being a Methodist hasn't hindered her from portraying a Jew.
Johnson will come to Johnstown as part of the national touring company of "Fiddler on the Roof," which will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center in Richland Township.
Johnson, an aspiring entertainer from Effingham, Ill., has been on the road since October playing the role of Tzeitel, the oldest of five daughters of Tevye, a poor Russian milkman from the Russian village of Anatevka.
"I love the role of Tzeitel because she is the first in her family to ask for change from traditional Jewish customs," Johnson said.
Lazar Wolf, the wealthy butcher, a widower older than Tevye, wants to wed Tzeitel. But Tzeitel is unenthusiastic and wants to marry her childhood friend, Motel the Tailor.
The turmoil causes Tevye, from the Russian village of Anatevka, to declare: "Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as ... as a 'fiddler on the roof.' "
That begins a tale of love and laughter, devotion and defiance, and changing customs.
"Tzeitel takes a stand against her parents, her heritage and the Jewish traditions," Johnson said. "I admire her because she is shy, yet confident in herself."
While Johnson views herself more of a singer than an actress, that's not the case in this production.
"I only sing several songs, including 'Matchmaker' when I'm told a marriage is being arranged and 'Anatevka,' the song that is sung as the residents are leaving their beloved village."
Her favorite regional credits include Eva Peron in "Evita," Cathy in "The Last Five Years" and Maria in "West Side Story."
This is Johnson's first national tour. She calls it "grueling in the best possible way."
"It's exciting doing our version of this wonderful story," Johnson said. "This is not the movie. We are doing different portrayals of the characters and giving the classic story a twist."
No other musical has so magically woven music, dance, poignancy and laughter into such a remarkable experience.
Tevye's wrestling with the new customs of a younger generation is punctuated by an unforgettable score that weaves the haunting strains of "Sunrise, Sunset" and the rousing "If I Were a Rich Man" with the exuberant "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" and triumphant "Tradition."
When his daughters choose suitors who defy his idea of a proper match, Tevye comes to realize, through a series of incidents that are comic and bittersweet, that his children will begin traditions of their own.
At the story's close, the villagers of Anatevka are forced to leave their homes, and even the rigid practices that have guided everyday life begin to crumble.
"We have a large cast, and I have come to love my work and the people in the company," Johnson said.
Robert L. Summers II is stepping into the role of Tevye.
Some of his favorite roles are Lawrence in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," Leonard in "Seminar," Henry II in "The Lion in Winter" and, most important, Tevye, for the third time.
Jennie Hollander is playing the role of Tevye's wife, Golde, on this national tour.
After 25 years in the television industry, she returned to the stage. Her television career highlights include an Emmy nomination, a Clio Award, 600 national commercials and long-running roles on daytime dramas.
Danny Bowman portrays the Fiddler and Tevye's conscience.
His favorite credits include the world premiere musical of "Joe Versus the Volcano" in San Diego.
Johnson sees the tour as an opportunity to gain experience, and says it is a wonderful addition to her resume.
"My family was able to see the production, and that was very special," she said. "My parents always have been supportive and told me to go for my dreams, which I'm doing."
If you go ...
What: "Fiddler on the Roof."
Where: Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center, 450 Schoolhouse Road, Richland Township.
When: 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

In a year and half on the Tennessee men's basketball sideline, coach Cuonzo Martin has never been sheepish about benching a starter or two.
Each time, he has dutifully said there's no message being sent.
After four starters — seniors Skylar McBee and Kenny Hall, junior Trae Golden and sophomore Jarnell Stokes — played under their season average in minutes during last Friday's win over Xavier, Martin noted, "I just think that first unit didn't play as hard as we needed them to play, most importantly. Sometimes that happens, but you've got to put forth a little more effort. You've got to care a little more and you've got to fight."
Actions, in this case, most definitely speak louder than those words. If a message wasn't decidedly being sent, it doesn't mean one wasn't necessarily being received.
"(Martin) sort of benched a couple of guys, if that's what you want to call it, and rightfully so because those guys (replacements) were playing well at the time," Stokes said Tuesday.
Set to face Memphis (9-3) on Friday (TV: ESPN2, 8 p.m.) at Thompson-Boling Arena, Tennessee (8-3) can ill-afford another forgettable performance by its catalysts.
The Vols got away with it against Xavier. Freshman Derek Reese scored seven points, including two huge 3-pointers, in his first collegiate game. Backup center Yemi Makanjuola pulled down a team-high eight rebounds. Walk-on point guard Brandon Lopez played a career-high 13 minutes.
Meanwhile, on the bench, Stokes and company watched on.
"I definitely took (something from it)," he said. "Watching how Yem played defense was great. I don't purposely try to play defense badly, but the way he was playing defense against their best post men was amazing. I took that from it — even though I'm one of the better offensive players, I have to play better defense."
Stokes said playing nine second-half minutes was "disappointing" and added, "I hope it never happens again."
Prior to an open practice Tuesday, Martin was asked how the benched starters responded since Saturday's game. He glanced over to the Pratt Pavilion court where players were stretching, looked back, shrugged, and said, "You win ballgames, you move forward."
Martin is not expected to alter his lineup against Memphis. Golden, playing with a heavy wrap on a bruised left (non-shooting) shoulder, will play. The junior point guard has made one of his last 14 field-goal attempts and committed four turnovers against Xavier.
Seeing Orange: Martin and the UT players have called for an "Orange-Out" against Memphis, encouraging all fans to wear orange.
The idea was born prior to Sunday's practice, when some players approached Martin. That night he tweeted, "The players said they want an 'Orange-Out' Friday. I like it. Vol Nation, let's do it!"
Seats Available: According to Chris Fuller, UT's associate athletics director for development and external operations, more than 2,000 tickets remain unsold for Friday's game. Fuller said a sellout is still possible, but having students on holiday break makes it difficult to gauge.
The first 500 UT students through the gates will receive a Tennessee headband — similar to that worn by Stokes.
Making a Difference: The Vols split up Wednesday, with half the team traveling to the East Tennessee Children's Hospital for a surprise visit and the rest dropping by the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center.

The Buffalo Bisons had the bases loaded with no outs in the ninth inning, but the Herd could only get one across, dropping a 7-6 decision to the Toledo Mud Hens in front of 9,102 at Coca-Cola Field Sunday afternoon.
Toledo had taken a 7-5 lead in the seventh inning. In the ninth, Anthony Gose led off with a single followed by a double from Kevin Pillar and a walk drawn by Munenori Kawasaki.
Mauro Gomez singled to shallow left to score Gose, but Jim Negrych struck out and Andy LaRoche hit into a double play.
The Bisons got a three-run home run from Ryan Goins in the fourth. Gomez had two RBI, driving in run sin the first and fifth on ground outs.
Chien-Ming Wang (5-6) took the loss. Of his six runs, only four were earned, while he gave up nien hits with four strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings of work.
The Herd begins a four-game series with Columbus on Monday at 7:05 p.m.

You may be able to tell what farmers think about their job by looking at how they spend their time off.
"This is our hobby," said David Cobbler of Ottumwa, pointing out the antique farm equipment that he and members of the Poppin' Johnnies of Southeast Iowa club were operating Saturday.
Cobbler was on the farm purchased by his grandfather in 1917. Though lots of the Cobbler farm operation had been modernized, the original barn was here. And Cobbler had purposely left about 60 acres of corn standing, untouched, after harvest.
"This is an official harvest day with restored [farm] equipment," he said.
Several 1940s and 1950s tractors bulled their way through the rows of brown cornstalks, spitting husked corn into the wagons they pulled.
"We do it the old way for our hobby," he said.
In the 40s and 50s, he said, farmers would feel pretty good to get 200 bushels taken care of in an hour.
"And it was family oriented," he said.
These days, combines can handle 2,000 bushels an hour.
Another Cobbler, Chris, was helping a driver learn how to operate an old piece of machinery. Someone had left a part off, meaning the antique John Deere was going to need some work. As he walked across the field, Chris pointed out a man operating a steam engine near the barn.
"He loves that. He'll run that [engine] all day," Chris said.
He added that though the steam engine was a 2/5 scale model, it was functional enough that with some coal and water to run it, the machine was actually operating the grain pumping "auger" for the day's farm operation.
Around the barn were antiques not being used just then — but still functional. There was a potato digger, a cement mixer and a couple of 100-year-old hay bailers, where the wheels, big steel cogs and gears were all visible. Many of the members, David said, finish up at their day jobs during the year, then, for relaxation, work on their older equipment.
"We're a little bit different. We restore it, but then we use it, too," said the man, the seventh David in his family to be a farmer. "My brother and I bailed plenty of hay with that small one."
The Poppin' Johnnies were celebrating their seventh year doing an actual harvesting. Last year, more than 500 visitors stopped to see how it "used to be" done. The event used to be held at a park. The farm is located right after motorists leave the highway (Exit 40) to come into the north side of Ottumwa on Highway 149. Club members said they want to share their hard work with the public.
"I figured we would be more visible here," added David.

Dead Space is a thrilling scarefest filled with nightmarish creatures, gory detail, and the ability to make any gamer wish it was the daytime. Redwood Shores has delivered a truly must-buy title during a month of standout releases.
We like
- Unique gameplay experience
- Stunning visual design
- Limb by limb dismemberment
We dislike
- Replayability is crippled by inventory loss during difficulty switch
- Overpowered boot stomp
- Backtracking may bother some gamers
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
There used to be a time when the survival horror meant solely Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Lately, there are more original properties, like the mind-boggling BioShock or the gruesome Condemned, sprouting up within the genre. Now EA has pushed itself into view with EA Redwood Shores' inaugural leap into survival horror, Dead Space. Referred to on more than one occasion as "BioShock in space," Dead Space brings gamers hundreds of years into the future to board the USG Ishimura, a planet-cracking ship that lost all contact with human life.
Sadly, the mining of other planets is a necessity for the human race as we have exhausted all of our natural resources. Considering the ramifications of this situation, fleets of vessels are scattered throughout the universe in order to transport these resources back to Earth for consumption. The USG Ishimura is mankind's most glorified planet-cracker, as it has mined more planets than any other interplanetary vessel. Oddly enough, the USG Ishimura loses all contact with galactic command during a standard planet-cracking operation. In order to find out what's happened, a maintenance crew is dispatched from a nearby vessel.
As expected, you're a part of this maintenance crew. Gamers step into the boots of Isaac Clark, a quiet systems engineer that has a very cliché interest in the Ishimura – his lady friend is on board. The last contact Clark had with her was via an urgent holovid (holographic video) which was filled with cryptic messages. Upon reaching the Ishimura, Isaac and his fellow crewmates quickly become separated, and all hell proceeds to break loose. The maintenance vessel is destroyed, and most of the crew is violently murdered by abominations known as Necromorphs (space zombies).
With the Ishimura's computer systems failing due to the Necromorphs, and the disadvantage of being nothing more than a systems engineer, gamers must make do with whatever weapons or tools they find lying around in order to survive. Isaac can also create weapons of his own, provided he can find the schematics necessary to build them. It is through this process that you acquire the bulk of your weaponry. Scattered throughout the ship are schematics for weapons – like the flamethrower – that you can create using work stations. These work stations also give you the ability to utilize power nodes that you may have found during play. These power nodes function similarly to the "Sphere Grid" in Final Fantasy X; they're small nodes that fit into a "power grid" that will upgrade Isaac's weapons, health, air support, reload times and even ammunition amount.
The nodes usage goes beyond the standard weapon and player upgrades, as you can use them to power up your stasis and kinesis modules as well. The stasis module allows gamers to (somewhat) slow down time in order to get through areas of the ship that would otherwise be death traps. One instance where this comes in handy is when a faulty door keeps yanking open then slamming shut. Utilizing the stasis module in this situation causes the door's movement to diminish, allowing Isaac to run through safely. Meanwhile, the kinesis module gives you the chance to pick items up with your mind and throw them out of the way or turn them into thrown weapons. This is useful when you come across a hallway that may be blocked by some foreign object that you must remove in order to progress. Redwood Shores has created a title in which almost anything can be upgraded to the player's content. This allows for a unique experience and most will have to play through the game several times if they hope to max out each possible item.
The deformed Necromorphs are susceptible to particular types of weapons. This is important to remember when upgrading your weapons, partly because enemies won't be incapacitated in the usual manner (headshots). Most Necromorphs force you to dismember them limb by limb. As the game progresses, the Necromorphs become increasingly faster, leaving you less time to accurately dissect their constantly shifting forms. This will inevitably lead to several deaths by way of dismemberment for Isaac, so make sure to always think ahead and aim for those weak limbs from the ... (continued on next page)

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Last week I told about my experience with the Urban Land institute Foundation and their week-long visit to Niagara Falls to tour, meet some interested stakeholders and offer some suggestions. It was all about some possible reuse for the inside of the former Rainbow Centre.
They talked about a flexible structure with smaller tenant spaces, safe parking, breaking up the building and returning it to human scale. They state malls nationwide are shutting down, reimagining themselves and removing the concrete block look. Of course this would involve opening up the upper levels with the use of glass enclosures to let daylight inside and allow people outside to see the inside and what there is to offer. That last one is long overdue.
The panel did not stop with just the building reuse. The architects in the group displayed easy to understand diagrams of new street extensions, pedestrian elements, improved public spaces and plazas where there would be something on or around every corner and positive signage was also discussed.
My interest peaked when they mentioned extending Mayor Michael O'Laughlin Street all the way to Rainbow Boulevard, passing through the Rainbow Centre creating a covered pedestrian walkway to lure visitors from the state park into the city via another path and the reverse. Along this walkway would be entrances to the centre itself, plus small shops and eating establishments with outdoor capabilities. parking would remain as it is and perhaps be extended to the roof. How about solar panels up there?
One panel member stated the first view the visitor from Canada has of the U.S. is not inspiring or encouragement for a longer stay.
Traffic needs to flow better, directing visitors out of the state park into the city via Old Falls Street or the proposed extended O'Laughlin Street. This would encourage development of the former Teletech building and create circulation of visitors throughout the area.
Other ideas were to remodel the commercial space at the Comfort Inn that is for sale to face the downtown area and perhaps an alternate street entry to Old Falls Street at the wax museum. This would also serve current and future downtown residents offering food, personal services and recreational opportunities. Consistent streetscapes would have to include matching trash receptacles, signage, benches, etc.
As all of this unraveled as future development, I admit it was a bit mind boggling but I noticed that some of the ideas I gathered from my friends and some of Roger's ideas and my own were included. All of this would encourage longer stays and educate visitors on area attractions with the use of historical exhibits in appropriate spaces in the redesigned mall or in other underutilized buildings or even hotel lobbies. It was stressed that there be a clear connection between Old Falls Street and the state park. Future focus would be on Upper Falls Street including Falls Street Station, additional space along the Conference Center frontage and along Rainbow Boulevard.
What about implementation of these ideas? A major suggestion was many community meetings, which I liked. We need to establish a unified vision and gather as many cheerleaders as possible to stop the naysayer, which means a clear picture to present to residents and business owners alike. One of the suggestions was the absolute enforcement of all codes and ordinances and the use of Requests for Qualifications (RFQ's) when it comes time to seek developers. Some things to look for were: Evidence of Experience, Successful Public Private Partnerships, Experience with desired project elements, Financial capability and Endure Phasing.
I am no novice to grand ideas to help Niagara Falls revitalize itself. I watched our community college disappear to the suburbs. I was present at Mr. Cogan's plans for Niagara Falls Redevelopment back in the days of Mayor Jim Galie. I lived through the disastrous ups and downs of the Splash Park and the change from a parking ramp to include a mall which could not be recognized from the outside. I saw the demise of the Turtle, and the sudden reuse of the former convention center. But I also saw the revitalization of the United Office Building and the interest in created in upgraded hotels and fine dining.
Some may not appreciate the demolition of the Wintergarden but frankly, it was time to open the street to tourism and activities for locals as well.
Now we need to admit that we need to provide for the youth of today who will be the strength of tomorrow. We can start again to educate them downtown with the new Culinary Institute and we can add to that with hospitality and other programs.
Perhaps these visitors from the Urban Land Institute who have provided responsible use of land in other areas can do the same for us. They do it through research, sharing of best practices, organizing and conducting meetings and they publish books and magazines on the subject. They review background material, conduct stakeholder interviews and consider data to frame issues and write recommendations. They have been doing this since 1947 and conduct 15-20 panels a year on land use subjects. They are candid and provide independent advice on this and other real estate issues. They are volunteers from various professional backgrounds and have no personal gains in the outcome. A final report will be available sometime in November.
Cheerleading is more than a sport — it's an attitude. Rah! Rah!Norma Higgs serves with the Niagara Beautification Commission and Niagara Falls Block Club Council.

Just like scalp Hair Restoration [1] surgery, there are other parts of the body that have hair and require the same
procedure, if there is a loss of hair. In most cases, men require facial Hair Restoration apart from chest hair re-growth. The Restoration process for facial hair is different and includes Hair Transplantation for eyebrows, beard, mustache and chest. Not only is the process different but it takes a precise hand and years of experience to do it.

Mannheimer Str. 7-9, Frankfurt, Germany star
Doubles from: $89 to $336
Check Rates for ExcelsiorChecking Rates for ExcelsiorNo availability
Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
It would be easy for the Hotel Excelsior to rest on its unbeatable location facing the train station's southern entrance, but the three-star property also throws in a friendly staff, terrific rates and various extras. Lap of luxury it ain't, but the Excelsior is a welcoming spot and a terrific, affordable base, especially if you can score one of its recently renovated rooms.
All of the Hotel Excelsior's 195 small rooms are equipped with a private bathroom, soundproof windows, a TV, phone, mini-fridge and minibar. The spotless renovated ones sport immaculate white walls, outshone only by sparkling bathroom tiles. Older rooms, on the other hand, have worn carpets and brown mosaic tiles which may have been stylish once but now seem dated.
When we say "small," we mean it. A quadruple room, with two twin beds and a bunk bed, is barely larger than a regular double, and some singles are cramped with convertible sofas that turn them into very tight doubles. In other words, this is a budget hotel and makes no pretense otherwise.
But the Hotel Excelsior sets itself apart with little extras, like free coffee, tea and cake, available around the clock in the lobby. Phone calls within Germany are free, minibars are stocked with non-alcoholic beverages (all gratis) and guests have free access to the conference room at the neighboring Hotel Monopol.
Wi-Fi is also free throughout, and a buffet breakfast is included in the room rate. (And the hotel is very accommodating—at the time of our visit, the hotel started serving breakfast at 3:30 a.m. for Muslim guests observing Ramadan.)

GREENWOOD, Miss. — A fire at Delta Oil Mill on Friday night has shut the facility down until repairs can be made.
"Nobody was injured. That's the main thing," John Stewart, the mill's manager, told the Greenwood Commonwealth (http://bit.ly/1dDpDiD ).
The fire broke out around 9 p.m. in the sprawling plant's baling room, Stewart said.
Stewart said the plant was processing cotton seed before the fire broke out.
Stewart said there was no structural damage to the plant from the fire. There also was no damage to the cotton seed stored at the plant.
Fire department investigators said the fire broke out when a hydraulic fluid pump box exploded after a cooling fan apparently malfunctioned.
Firefighters used foam and approximately 5,000 gallons of water to put out the blaze.
Greenwood Fire Chief Marcus Banks said crews were on the scene a couple of hours.
"It wasn't a large-scale fire," Banks said.
Banks said typically the department sees an increase in fire runs to the oil mill during the fall and winter months as more seed is processed.
Stewart didn't know when the plant would resume operations.


text: Stuffed Challah Recipes Sweeten Your Challah With Two Classic Combinations by Anna Roberts 9/14/12 0 Reactions 31 Shares Print 18 6 7 0 0 During the Jewish high holidays, the only thing that's better than challah for dinner is challah for dessert! When it comes to constructing a sweet loaf, peanut butter and chocolate and cinnamon and sugar are two classic combinations that you can't go wrong with. These aren't, however, the type of fillings that should be blended into the challah dough: in cinnamon-roll-like fashion, here are step-by-step photos to help you fill your challah loaves with sugary swirls. Roll Out What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Follow the recipe for basic challah dough. For each filled loaf, you'll need four smaller pieces of dough. Roll out each piece of challah dough thinly, about 1/4-inch thick. 1 / 14 Peanut Butter and Chocolate Measurements What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're following our basic challah recipe, then for the peanut butter and chocolate fillings, you will need about 1 cup of chocolate chips and four 1-1/2-ounce packages of peanut butter. If you have a large jar of peanut butter, use about 1-1/2 tablespoons per challah piece. 2 / 14 Spread the Peanut Butter What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Spread the peanut butter with an offset palate knife. Leave about 1/2 inch of space around the rim of the challah dough. 3 / 14 Dot With Chocolate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Dot the challah with 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, and then roll it like a burrito. 4 / 14 "Braid" It What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Braiding this challah isn't quite as complicated as a six-strand rendition. Instead, take the four stuffed strands, and weave them under and over each other to create a hashtag with eight ends. Take the top two pieces of dough and twist them together. Follow the same pattern for the rest of the pieces, until there are four ends. Pinch two of the twisted ends together and repeat on the other side, so you are left with a long, twisted loaf. Then take the two ends of the loaf and pinch them together, so a circular shape is formed. Tuck the pinched end underneath the dough to prevent it from unraveling. 6 / 14 Peanut Butter and Chocolate Challah What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bake as your recipe directs. The egg wash gives it a stunning yellow hue and shine. 6 / 14 Inside the Loaf What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The peanut butter swirls and large chunks of chocolate are very visible! 7 / 14 Cinnamon Sugar Measurements What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For cinnamon-sugar-filled challah, mix four tablespoons of granulated sugar with a dash or two of cinnamon. 8 / 14 Spread Cinnamon Sugar What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Spread the sugar mixture carefully around a flattened piece of basic challah dough, but leave a border of space about 1/2 to 1 inch. 9 / 14 Roll It What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Roll it like a burrito, but carefully, so no sugar falls out. Pinch the ends as you roll to avoid spillage. If any sugar gets on the outside of the dough, the challah won't seal, and the bread will be a sticky, burnt sugary mess as it bakes! 11 / 14 Lift the End What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Once you get to the end, lift the end up and pinch it to seal the burrito. 11 / 14 Seal the Strand What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Be very sure to securely pinch all of the dough together, so none of the sugar falls out. 12 / 14 Cinnamon Sugar Challah What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Braid the challah as directed before, and bake according to the recipe. 13 / 14 Inside the Challah What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This challah is light, moist, and sweet with a faint hint of cinnamon. 14 / 14 18 6 7 0 0 Read More Food How ToOriginal RecipesCooking TipsJewishChallahBreadRecipes recipes Sandwiched! 13 Life-Changing Variations 6 hours ago You Know You Want to Spike a Watermelon 8 hours ago Crack Mac (aka White Chocolate Mac 'n' Cheese) 21 hours ago This Cherry Breakfast Bowl Will Kick Off Your Day on a Cheery Note 1 day ago Sip on This Refreshing Mixed-Berry Spritzer All Summer Long 1 day ago 13 Quinoa Salads That'll Rescue You From Your Lunchtime Woes 1 day ago cooking tips Hugh Acheson: "Canning Is a Gateway to Getting People to Cook" 1 day ago 5 Steps to No-Fail, Fluffy Quinoa 5 days ago 6 Simple Recipe Substitutions 1 week ago How to Peel Peaches, in Pictures 1 week ago 10 Tricks For Better Fruit Salads 1 week ago The Bar Cart Staples You Should Be Refrigerating but Probably Aren't 1 week ago Original Recipes Crack Mac (aka White Chocolate Mac 'n' Cheese) 21 hours ago 30 Dips For Delish Dunking 3 days ago Quick Summery Snacks With Only 3 Ingredients 1 week ago Hang Onto Green Bean Season With Spicy Pickles 1 week ago Spam Fries: We Dare You to Try Them 1 week ago The Only Buttermilk Pancake Recipe You'll Ever Need 1 week ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

For some, the Super Bowl isn't about who wins or loses. It's all about the commercials!
Companies pay a ridiculous amount of money to keep viewers in their seats between plays.
USA Today's Super Bowl Ad Meter, now in its 25th year, is the gold standard of consumer ad rankings.
Laura Petrecca, USA Today's New York deputy bureau chief, explained in a video clip released by the newspaper how the results are formulated and what it takes to rank high on the list of favorites.
MORE: Click Here To Watch Most Popular Super Bowl Ads Again
"For 25 years USA Today has gauged consumer reaction to Super Bowl ads," she said. "For 24 of those past 25 years, we had focus groups across the country, and we had those people rate the ads. But this year, to mark our 25th anniversary, we opened the panel up to adults across the country. All they had to do was pre-register on our website, and then they went in on Sunday through a password-protected site and they ranked the ads from 1 to 10 – so, pretty much from worst to best – and that's how we're getting the results."
Petrecca added, "The hard thing with Super Bowl advertising is there's so much clutter on that game with you. You've got 50 other ads that you're competing against, all these other brands. So, you need to not only make the ad entertaining, but you need to make your product take center stage. An example of that is the Tide ad with the stain-removing stick. So, that was a really funny ad, and you'll remember what the product is because it took out the stain of Joe Montana. So, you really, as a marketer, have to get your product in there and also make it entertaining. And that's not easy to do."
According to USA Today's ad meter, the top commercial was Budweiser's Clydesdale brotherhood commercial, which tugged at America's heartstrings.
Tide's "Miracle Stain" commercial came in second.
In at third was Dodge Ram's Super Bowl ad featuring the late radio broadcaster Paul Harvey's tribute to U.S. farmers.
At fourth, grabbing lots of laughs was Doritos' "Fashionista Daddy" commercial.
And at fifth was an inspirational commercial for Jeep narrated by none other than Oprah Winfrey.
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.

Knowing the rules can be the difference in winning and losing a high school football game as it was a couple of weeks ago when East Duplin defeated Hampstead Topsail, 26-21.
Topsail led 21-20 in the closing seconds as East Duplin attempted a field goal. The kick was blocked so solidly that the ball caromed backward. As the clock went to zeroes and the Topsail players ran toward their bench to celebrate the apparent win, East Duplins Montrell Stallings picked up the ball and ran to the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.
In high school, a kick that does not go beyond the line of scrimmage can be advanced by either team.
There are several differences in high school and college rules.
Could you be a replacement ref? Did you know these rules?
A. The team that is kicking off cannot block until the ball goes 10 yards or the ball is touched by the receiving team. In the past, teams occasionally kicked the ball very slowly and formed a wall of blockers around the ball as the ball rolled forward with the intention of keeping the receiving team away from the ball until it travelled 10 yards and could be recovered. The penalty now is a 10 yards on the kicking team and a re-kick.
B. There can never be a 101-yard kickoff return in high school. The ball cannot be returned out of the end zone.
C. The defensive team cannot score after a turnover in overtime. As soon as the defensive team gains possession, the play is dead. The defense cannot score on extra point attempts.
D. Blocking below the waist is allowed only at the line of scrimmage on the snap. Linebackers cannot be cut blocked and the fullback cannot cut block defensive ends.
E. There is no ball not catchable provision for pass interference in high school football. Also, face guarding is pass interference in high school, but not college.
F. Intentional grounding can be called even if a high school quarterback is outside the tackles. There is no outside-the-tackle provision in high school.
G. If the receiving team muffs a kick, the kicking team can recover the ball, but not advance it. A muff occurs when a player on the receiving team drops the ball without ever having possession.
H. On a kickoff, the kicking team cannot catch the ball in the air. The ball must hit the ground or a receiver first.
I. In high school, the play is immediately dead if a defender enters the neutral zone (the area between the offensive and defensive lines) before the snap. Play stops immediately.
J. Breaking the huddle with 12 players is not a violation in high school. Players being substituted for must leave the field within three seconds, though.
K. If a helmet comes completely off without it being directly attributable to a foul by an opponent, the player must leave the game for at least one down. The team can call a timeout, but the player still misses one down. Much of the research supporting the need for the helmet rule in high school football was conduced by the N.C. High School Athletic Association when its officials tracked how many helmets were coming off.

I don't mind a bit of shoving or a (light) smack when it's clearly part of a good-natured relationship. This just looks like that's how Maks teaches.
I don't mind a bit of shoving or a (light) smack when it's clearly part of a good-natured relationship. This just looks like that's how Maks teaches.
I'd rather see Nancy stay than Hope, but I don't Nancy ever lifted her feet off the ground in that dance with Tristan...
Maks crossed the line in the group dance practice. I feel sorry for Hope. If she wasn't under contract, I bet she'd walk. He's being a complete jerk.
Their personality clash must be exhausting. He can't intimidate her, she's too confident. But the battle is taking its toll.
eta: Nice to see that Tristan objects too. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/liv...g-stars-255700
There's nothing on this show that isn't scripted and heavily edited, especially the rehersals. I don't know what the producers are trying to do with this, except generate more publicity. If Maks was really being abusive toward Hope, she'd have decked him, then kneed him in the groin. That was staged. I just don't know to what purpose. If you watched Maks closely, you could tell he was reluctant to do this.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
wrong thread, sorry.
Question yet to be answered, Will it be picked up for the next season? Probably - will viewership drop? Probably
There's bad boy, and there's hitting a girl. Do I honestly think Hope would hit back if she weren't scripted? Not really, unless she is COMPLETELY faking her entire personality. Heck, I'd hate to see how someone less easy-going would have dealt with Karina's snapping and temper.
Not to mention if they're trying to set up a Derek-Maks showdown THIS season, they're nuts. Any one of the others remaining has more business making the final than Hope. Also, there's no way Maks comes out of that comparison looking like anything but sour grapes, which only helps Derek's image.
But Hope is likely to get sympathy votes this week from people who feel bad that she has to put up with Max.
I do think Max crossed a line here; but I also think Hope has been a nightmare as a partner. She totally refused to go outside her "I'm a strong, star athlete, I can't be girly" mode and they are both stubborn as mules. Max pushes too hard, but Hope also refuses to listen. She may have worked better with Teddy, but the two of them did act very juvenile, like two teenagers laughing at their stodgy old professor.
As I've said, I cannot stand Nancy Grace personally, but I think Hope deserves to go before she does. And what do you want to bet that JR will be "in jeopardy" tonight just so they can highten the drama??? Ugh, I miss the days of Apolo, Kristi, Gilles, and Evan...
"Once you've skated together long enough, and you're really good friends, you can close your eyes, put your hand out and she's right there." Joe Dolkiewicz, 2011 US Novice Pairs Bronze Medalist
There was a moment last night where Hope was so awful I thought she had to be faking it. Then I thought, it's real, but clearly she has a serious mental block about dancing.
There were at least of couple of pieces of music last night that had been used previously. Monique and Louis cha cha'd to Ghost Busters on the Halloween show five years ago and Lance and Lacey tangoed to Disturbia three years ago, also for a Halloween show if I'm not mistaken. Think this was a first for Werewolves of London. Keeping Warren Zevon's memory alive!
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
I think it is winding down too. It has gotten boring. One thing that might help is sticking to 1 hour. 1 1/2 - 2 hours is Zzzzzzz.
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
That is the sort of thing the producers want to script and portray? Really?
For me, this is the moment when the show jumped the shark.
I'd like to see them bring back some of the newer dance styles they introduced in past seasons. They've been using the same dances for the last 4 or 5 seasons. I FLOVED when they did the jitterbug and charleston, salsa, lambada, etc. Just no country two-step! I think changing things up with that could make things a bit more exciting for the viewers. But realistically, the cast is the biggest audience draw.
I know the show picks and chooses only the segments they want us to see of the rehersals and that people bickering might increase the show's popularity with some people but I doubt they would go as far as choreographing a guy manhandling a woman, no matter how athletic she is, for better ratings.
I really don't think people who go for that sort of thing would ever watch a dance show, and it makes them look bad for allowing such behavior. As to the reason why they chose to show that segment, I'm stumped, unless it's to diminish Maks' reputation which I'm pretty sure he can do all on his own.
I also don't think Maks' popularity grew because of his bad boy behaviour, I think it grew from the chemistry he had with people he liked to work with, like Mel B and Kirstie Alley
Maks and Kirstie were a revelation--they worked so well together, and I thought they would bicker all of the time. Maks and Hope clearly don't get along.
I think they think any discussion about the show is better than no discussion. They chose to put that particular bit of footage out of a couple of hours on the air. That was deliberate.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
I did think that Hope was a bit better last night (and seemed more relaxed) -- but she still is pretty bad. Nancy didn't do at all well last night either. Sigh.

The MTA said a lightning strike early evening knocked a signal system west of Jamaica out of commission, and that crews worked overnight and into Friday morning to restore it. The LIRR ran all but four normal rush hour trains Friday and said Friday's evening should be "normal."
"The LIRR apologizes for the service suspension last night that left many of our customers without a regular means of getting home and that stranded some passengers on trains between stations," said the agency in a public statement on its website posted Friday afternoon.
It stated that it's launched a full review of both the service and communications and the underlying failure of the Jamaica signal system network.
"We're working closely on identifying the root causes of the malfunctions with Ansaldo, the designer of the newly installed micro-processing switch and signal equipment. In addition, the LIRR's retaining an outside consultant, Systra, to help in the review process, including the system's protection, diagnostics and back-up systems," said the LIRR.
After the strike damaged the primary and back-up signal systems, workers began manually setting switches. Meanwhile, the initiated a service diversion plan, advising customers to take the E train from Penn Station to Jamaica. New York City Transit Authority cross-honored tickets.
However, just after many customers had reached Jamaica via the subway and boarded eastbound trains, the "Hall" signal location east of Jamaica, which is part of the complete Jamaica signal network, then failed, causing a full suspension of service. Some standing trains were unable to safely move in either direction because of the second signal system failure. It was a while before service was restored eastbound.
