Censo beat Rangers in extra-time
8:00am Tuesday 8th January 2013 in Football By Peter Raynbird
FC CENSO booked a place in the last eight of the Hampshire Junior A Cup thanks to a 4-2 extra-time win over visiting Old Basing Rangers.
Luke Richardson gave the home side the lead on 39 minutes, following Gary Stockwell's free-kick. Rangers fought back strongly in the second half and were rewarded on 75 minutes when a free-kick taken by Tom Cox led to Paul Oliver equalising.
With no further scoring, the game went to extra-time and it was Rangers who took the initiative, going ahead through Rob Mooney when he was put through by Simon Harrison three minutes in.
Censo were quick to reply and re-took the lead as Richardson scored twice to complete his hat-trick.
Rangers then had a penalty awarded when Mooney was floored by Damien Smith, but Oliver's spot kick was well saved by Dean Mahoney. In the closing stages Aaron Simpson netted Censo's fourth.
Welly Old Boys also reached the quarter-finals of the competition thanks to a 3-0 win over AFC Gulf Western, but Tron and Basingstoke Athletic were both knocked out.

Wichita Police are still searching for the suspect or suspects who murdered a man earlier this week.
Early Thursday morning, officers found the body of 29-year-old Adji Tampone at his home in the 700 block of South Rutan. He had been shot once in the head.
Friends told police they had been trying to get in touch with the victim since New Year's Eve. They went to his home, saw him through a window not moving and called police.
Officers have since found Tampone's silver Cadillac Seville, believed to have been taken after the shooting, abandoned in the 1400 block of North Yale.
No suspects have been located. Anyone with information on this murder investigation is asked to call police.

For those of you who are very interested in preserving our eco-system, the Wetlands Institute is promoting the "ADOPT A TERRAPIN" Project.
Diamondback terrapins are relatively small, harmless turtles that live in salt marshes along the Atlantic coastline. The loss of population may result in negative impacts to the salt marsh ecology. Nowadays, the only nesting habitat available to female terrapins along the Atlantic coast of New Jersey is the embankments of roads crossing and adjacent to coastal salt marshes. Locally, many hundreds of adult female terrapins are maimed or die each year during the nesting season (normally late May through mid-July) while attempting to cross roads in search of suitable nesting habitat. Additionally, terrapins die each year by drowning in commercial crab traps.
Come and visit the Wetlands Institute to find out about this project as well as all the other wonderful work they are doing to preserve our ecology.

Frederick E. Allen, Forbes Staff
I am the Leadership Editor of Forbes.
In the days since the election we have learned that President Barack Obama's campaign had an amazingly advanced and disciplined ground game that knew just what precincts and even voters to target and how to target them, based on polling information that predicted how the vote was going with uncanny precision. Yet Mitt Romney was the man running as the experienced manager, the man whose years running a business uniquely qualified him to run the biggest, most complex organization on earth, the federal government. That was his main, most consistent claim to the office. Now it looks more as if, though he may have been very good at buying and selling companies and extracting profit from them, he wasn't nearly as good at heading an effective complex organization as President Obama.
As a commenter on Andrew Sullivan's blog summed it up,
Obama executed quantifiable long-term plans, adaptable short-term planning, an innovative GOTV initiative and plotted better ad strategies, while Romney had the ORCA trainwreck [see below], inaccurate internal polling, poorly informed managers and insufficient fiscal planning (e.g. coffers too low in July to react to the Obama ad blitz seems so minor league!). Not to mention its upper management was rewarded with bonuses in September, right after the languid convention and the embarrassing European trip.
The blogger Allahpundit has a very good post about the difference in the organizational success of the campaigns, in which he writes,
This was supposed to be Romney's strength, the reason to prefer him to Gingrich, Santorum, etc. Even if he didn't always seem so "severely conservative," he could be trusted to hold his own against Team Hopenchange in a battle of the ground games. After all, that's his brand — he's a managerial genius. If anyone could build a company capable of capturing the presidency, he could.
Allahpundit cites a Romney campaign worker's account of Project Orca, which the campaign described as "a massive undertaking – the Republican Party's newest, unprecedented and most technologically advanced plan to win the 2012 presidential election." It involved using smartphones on election day to figure out which precincts weren't producing enough voters, so help could be rushed to them to turn out the vote. But it was incompetently set up and planned for and was a wreck on election day, and according to that campaign worker:
the end result was that 30,000+ of the most active and fired-up volunteers were wandering around confused and frustrated when they could have been doing anything else to help. Like driving people to the polls, phone-banking, walking door-to-door, etc. . . . If this had worked could it have closed the gap? I sure hope not for my sanity's sake.
The bitter irony of this entire endeavor was that a supposedly small government candidate gutted the local structure of GOTV efforts in favor of a centralized, faceless organization in a far off place (in this case, their Boston headquarters). Wrap your head around that.
Here's how Jonathan Last, who writes often for The Wall Street Journal and The Weekly Standard, puts it:
There was, to my mind, only one qualitative argument generally made in favor of Romney: that his management experience made him uniquely qualified to be president. He was a "turn-around artist."A "genius CEO." . . . At least this was a falsifiable claim. And the fact that Romney could not master even his own campaign organization in order to win an incredibly winnable election demonstrates–incontrovertibly–that it wasn't true. If he was a turn-around artist, he would be president-elect right now.
Most political campaigns aren't invalidated by a loss. A candidate puts forward an idea or a worldview and it can stand whether or not it's embraced by voters. It has its own truth. But in the wake of his loss Romney's campaign now looks ludicrous. He simply can't be a "genius" of managing and salvaging and not win.
That is is, Joseph.
Obama was elected by a percentage point, and created much of the worst of the last four years with even worse on the way.
The voters got a view of Romney almost entirely filtered by the media, and misconstrued by the media as Crowley did when she lied during the debate.
If Obama was the leader of a company I had stock in I would have sold short 3 years ago and made a fortune.
I have tears coming down my cheeks reading this… Thank you Steve !
Not surprised in the least. As someone who has bought and sold several businesses which I have operated too, I can assure you that operating them is way harder than acquiring or exiting a business.
Very nice and insightful appraisal that pretty well sums up the case against Romney's business acumen. A few details are missing, although not germain to the overall assessment, nonetheless important to understanding the Obama win. The most important of these is that it was not just a well defined identification and targeting of key voting blocks, but more an ability to motivate those voters who have been present for some time, but simply did not vote. Although it has been downplayed, the enthusiasm generated by the Obama campaign faltered only after the first debate. It quickly reasserted itself, and was provided added impetus by the efforts of various republican led states to limit or otherwise hold down the democrat vote.
This article does note quite well though, that for all his vaunted skill, Romney couldn't manage a campaign, much less a nation.
Well not in any fair way,,
If only Obama were as good at running the country as he was at getting elected and re-elected. As a nation, we have missed an opportunity to benefit from the leadership of a talented, good man in Mitt Romney. Monday morning quarterbacking aside.
OB managed his election/re-election with the help of the hispanic vote and
union promises, acorn, before they were called out for voter fraud and intimidation.
The promise of the dream act, witheld till he needed them again and much backing
from the tides foundation, move-on .org. All funded by geo. soros. a , New World
Order guy. Don't think a politician who doesn't use chicanery to get elected could
have beat him this time or last.
Your perception is a perfect example of why the RepubliCONS did not can not win: you are stuck in 1980
It has to make you wonder….
Romney holding rallies on election day in critical swing states, taking thousands of volunteers off the street to cheer Romney on rather than getting out the vote.
How stupid is that?

Knoxvillians of a certain age have been struggling to avoid a certain comparison, but maybe it's time to go ahead and get it out. Consider two brothers, successful businessmen, the more outgoing of whom has gubernatorial aspirations. Their once-local company grows so big it begins to get national attention. The colorful father who started them in the business has retired, mostly, but still enjoys the spotlight. A once-struggling city unaccustomed to private business of this magnitude is grateful for the economic boost, and for the family's generous philanthropy. The family changes the urban landscape with welcome new architecture.
Then a federal raid on the company's well-known headquarters building, and accusations of massive fraud—and grumblings of political motivations, because the raid is conducted under the auspices of an opposite party's administration—followed by an extremely long and complicated federal trial.
There are lots of differences between the Haslams' travel-center empire and the Butchers' banking empire, which collapsed 30 years ago—one of them being that the Butchers' banks were obviously doomed at the outset, and the brothers themselves were early on identified as chief culprits. At this writing, the Pilot Flying J story looks, maybe, as if it could turn out to be a limited middle-management problem, and that the company itself will continue to thrive. That's very different from the Butcher story.
But the record does leave a melancholy impression of the destiny of large businesses in Knoxville. It makes you wonder whether, whenever a Knoxville business grows beyond its rearing, fate will always prune it back.
The Pilot story brings up one odd memory of that other story. Knoxville was in the news a lot in 1983, mainly due to the Butcher scandal, and that fact, perhaps combined with the flurry of attention the city's big Butcher-financed fair had gotten the year before, had one surprisingly sanguine result. For the first time in memory, Knoxville was spoken of in the national news as a place that people had at least heard of. Back then, an older insurance man proudly pointed it out to me, and it was true: Newscasters didn't say "Knoxville, a city in Eastern Tennessee" anymore. Even the word "Tennessee" became unnecessary. In 1983, national reporters would just say, "in Knoxville today…" It was just "Knoxville," like Baltimore, or Chicago, or Atlanta. Can federal allegations raise a city's profile?
After some years of law-abiding newslessness, people forgot what Knoxville was. Last week, some of the same national news organizations that found the word "Knoxville" sufficient 30 years ago reported on the Pilot raid in "Knoxville, Tennessee."
I can't really write a personal appreciation of the News Sentinel's Terry Morrow. I didn't know him well, not even well enough to know he was sick. Contrary to some popular assumptions, we don't work together, as editorial staffs. I don't know most of the News Sentinel's writers personally, but I ran into Terry on a few occasions, and over the years we'd had three or four good conversations, all interesting. He was very good at what he did, and I was sometimes grateful for that in a way you wouldn't expect of someone who works for a rival publication.
Long ago I got some stern advice not to write too local, especially concerning national subjects, whether political or entertainment-related. The purpose of writing for Knoxville papers, I was told, was to generate clips. Good clips could get you work in big-city papers, and that's where the action is. If the clips are too local, they don't travel well.
There was a higher-minded version of that doctrine. To be taken seriously, reviewers should write about plays, movies, and television without bias. It didn't matter whether somebody local was in it; our responsibility was to the pure-minded consumer who did not, or should not, care.
The news media were different, I was told, from businesses running a restaurant or a law firm, in which serving the local customer is the highest goal. In the media, Knoxville's value was as a stepping stone to the big time. For a while, newspapers in many mid-market cities across America, especially their entertainment pages, were like little USA Todays, devoid of inside jokes or references to local curiosities.
I understood the concept. But somehow I was still interested in my neighbors and former neighbors and fellow University of Tennessee grads, and their distinctions in movies and TV shows and on record albums. Maybe it was corny or provincial of me, but I wanted to know why this character Johnny Knoxville, for example, named himself that.
Metro Pulse was an unabashedly local publication from the beginning, and in our early days, we tried to cover that Knoxvillians-in-Hollywood and Knoxvillians-on-Broadway beats, just because nobody else was doing it.
It wasn't easy. When I got a tip about a Knoxvillian getting a role in a TV show, I didn't have any way of knowing whether he was the only one, or one of 100. I wrote about Knoxvillians on cable TV shows without ever having seen them, because I didn't have cable TV. The idea that we were missing some interesting Knoxville connection to show business was a weekly low-grade anxiety. We'd get a clue about one thing or another, often not sure what to do with it. We never had a big enough staff to devote a reporter to that beat.
Then Terry came along, worked his way into that community, and made some great connections, and outpaced us on the show-biz beat. He got return calls from people who hadn't returned mine. He acknowledged that there was a great deal of interest among local people in the local aspects of entertainment, from Johnny Knoxville to Dolly to this week's game-show and reality-show participants.
He did what we were trying to do, better, and took that burden off our backs. He reported about the Knoxville connections of interesting celebrities. He wasn't afraid of seeming provincial, and maybe he made the city a little less so.

Miss Deaf Texas struck by train while walking on train tracks...never heard it coming
AUSTIN (AP) - Tara Rose McAvoy, the reigning Miss Deaf Texas, died Monday afternoon after being struck by a train, officials said.
State pageant director Laura Loeb Hill told The Associated Press via e-mail Monday night that McAvoy, 18, had been deaf since birth.
McAvoy, who won the state title in June, was to represent Texas at the Miss Deaf America pageant this summer in Palm Desert, Calif., according to Loeb Hill.
Witness Carlos Burgos told Austin television station KTBC that the train was sounding its horn right up until the time the accident happened.
Authorities believe McAvoy was walking near some tracks when she was struck by a Union Pacific train.
McAvoy had represented Texas "with dignity and pride," Loeb Hill said.
McAvoy graduated last year from the Texas School for the Deaf, attended Austin Community College and then started at Gallaudet University in January, but had returned to Texas, Loeb Hill said. -
Very tragic. May she rest in peace.
Is there no vibrations on the train tracks that she would have felt?
A Smile
A smile cost nothing, but gives so much.
It enriches those who receive it,without making poorer those who give.It takes but a moment, but the memoryof it sometimes lasts forever.
None is so rich or mighty that hecan get along without it,and none is so poor but thathe can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in the home,fosters goodwill in business,and is the countersign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,cheer to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad,and it is nature's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed,or stolen, for it is something that is of novalue to anyone until it is given away.
Some people are too tired to give you a smile.Give them one of yours, as none needs a smileso much as he who has no more to give.
- author unknown
Hmm, I wonder if it was a suicide. That young woman suddenly had a lot of pressure put on her. Doesn't seem reasonable to me that a person that bright, deaf or not wouldn't look for a train coming.When I used to be somebody (I'm center top)
"A burning desire for social justice is never a substitute for knowing what you're talking about". -Thomas Sowell-

Oliver R. Goodenough
JD, University of Pennsylvania, 1978;
BA, Harvard University, 1975
Phone: (802) 831-1231
Email: email@example.com
Professor Goodenough's research and writing at the intersection of law, economics, finance, media, technology, neuroscience and behavioral biology make him an authority in several emerging areas of law. He is expert in the impact of digital technology on law, with a particular emphasis on using the internet to create digital business organizations and to improve the support provided by law for innovation and entrepreneurship generally. A pioneer in Neurolaw, he has participated in experiments using fMRI brain scanning techniques to explore the neurological basis of moral reasoning in conjunction with Humboldt University in Berlin and the University of London.
His academic appointments reflect the breadth of his studies. At Vermont Law School, he is a Professor of Law and the Director of Scholarship. He is also currently a Faculty Fellow at The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, where he is co-director of the Law Lab project, a Research Fellow of the Gruter Institute for Law and Behavioral Research, and an Adjunct Professor at Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering. He has also been a Visiting Research Fellow at the Zoology Department of the University of Cambridge, a Lecturer in Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and a Visiting Professor at the Neurological Department of the Charite Medical School of Humboldt University in Berlin. He has participated as faculty for The National Judicial College since 2004. Prof. Goodenough has also served as co-director of the Education and Outreach Program of the MacArthur Foundation Law and Neuroscience Project.
Prof. Goodenough has written on a wide variety of subjects relating law, business, the internet, and cognitive and behavioral science. His chapter "Digital Firm Formation" in the Kauffman Foundation book Rules for Growth (2011) has sparked reforms in corporate law. Law, Mind and Brain, co-edited with Michael Freeman, was published by Ashgate in February, 2009. With Semir Zeki, he edited the 2004 special issue of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society devoted to Law and the Brain, reprinted in book form under that title by Oxford University Press in 2006.

|Energy Security And Frontier Science At The National Ignition Facility (Colloquia)
|Start Date:
|4:30 pm
|1 LeConte
|Ed Moses
|NIF and Photon Science, LLNL
The National Ignition Facility (NIF), the worlds largest and most powerful laser system for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and for studying high-energy-density (HED) science, is now operational and conducting experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Demonstration of ignition and thermonuclear burn in the laboratory is a major NIF goal. NIF will achieve this by concentrating the energy from its 192 beams into a mm3-sized target and igniting a deuterium-tritium mix, liberating more energy than is required to initiate the fusion reaction.
NIFs ignition program is a national effort managed via the National Ignition Campaign (NIC). The NIC has two major goals: execution of DT ignition experiments starting in FY2010 for the purpose of demonstrating ignition and developing a reliable, repeatable ignition platform by the conclusion of the NIC at the end of FY2012. The NIC will also develop the infrastructure and the processes required to operate NIF as a national user facility. Achieving ignition at NIF will demonstrate the scientific feasibility of ICF and will focus worldwide attention on laser fusion as a viable energy option.
A laser fusion-based energy concept that builds on NIF ignition, known as LIFE (Laser Inertial Fusion Engine), is currently under development. LIFE is inherently safe and can provide a global carbon-free energy generation solution in the 21st century. LIFE requires development of advanced technologies such as high-repetition-rate (~10 Hz), high-energy lasers; mass production of targets; and first-wall materials capable of withstanding the high x-ray and neutron fluxes present in the fusion environment. Progress on this to date has been promising and will be reviewed in a forthcoming National Academy of Sciences/National Academy of Engineering Study on inertial fusion energy.
The NIF extreme environment also provides a powerful experimental platform for study of fundamental science, including the behavior of matter at extreme temperatures, pressures and densities; astrophysics; and others. For example, experiments planned for 2010 and beyond will provide new insights into the makeup of planetary interiors and the hydrodynamic evolution of supernovae in our universe.
The talk will discuss recent progress on NIF, NIC and the role of NIF in future energy security and frontier science.
This work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344.

Repentance is a beautiful trait of any man or woman. Strive to master it, and you will experience a fresh and invigorating joy.
Before Jesus can build in our lives, He must first clear away all debris. Before a new beginning, the old must be removed. When we truly repent, we change our mind, our attitude, and purpose. We turn around on the inside!
Here are 5 facts you should know about repentance:

Mineral Wells Index
— By LIBBY CLUETT
The City of Mineral Wells, firefighting community and many citizens are mourning the loss of Mineral Wells Fire Chief Robin Allen.
It seems those who saw her at Friday's homecoming pep rally and Thursday night's bonfire, were shocked to found out she died Friday night.
Mineral Wells Volunteer Fire Department First Assistant Chief Lynn Reasoner said he did not know the details but noted that Allen had been dealing with health issues for a while. He added that she seemed to be doing well and "was expecting to come back to work in a few weeks."
Reasoner said he has been coordinating a 'round-the-clock firefighter's vigil for Allen.
"We have a tradition in the fire service that someone stays with the body 24 hours a day until the funeral," Reasoner explained, adding that local departments did this with the late MWVFD Chief and Palo Pinto County Fire Marshall Steve Perdue, who died in 2011.
He is setting up 2-hour shifts for emergency personnel to stand vigil in uniform until her funeral, which he said is tentatively set for Friday, 10 a.m., at First Baptist Church of Mineral Wells.
Reasoner said firefighters escorted her body to Dallas for autopsy, stayed with her overnight, and returned with her Saturday afternoon. He said several Metroplex-area fire departments assisted with the escort, following in their vehicles through Dallas, Arlington, Fort Worth and Weatherford. He said when the escort arrived on the western edge of Weatherford, Cool, Garner, Greenwood and Millsap VFDs fell in line to help escort her to the edge of Mineral Wells. At the Lake Mineral Wells State Park and Trailway bridge, Reasoner said city and volunteer departments escorted her through town to Baum-Carlock-Bumgardner, which he said is handling the funeral arrangements.
In addition to her crew of firefighters and emergency medical staff, cohorts and friends, Allen leaves behind her husband and three athletic children, between the ages of 16 and 20.
MWVFD asks that anyone who wants to share food, flowers or any expression of condolence to the Allen family, please take them to the Perdue Training Center, south of the downtown fire station.
The Index will keep readers informed of finalized funeral arrangements.

The beloved mentor and his favorite student spent their final hours together holding hands on a hospital bed.
Jerry Buss was entering the final stage of his life after a long battle with cancer, and he wanted to spend some of it with Magic Johnson.
The beloved mentor and his favorite student spent their final hours together holding hands on a hospital bed.
Jerry Buss was entering the final stage of his life after a long battle with cancer, and he wanted to spend some of it with Magic Johnson.
Buss summoned Johnson to his room at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center last fall and, together, for five hours, they clutched each other and told stories and cried.
At one point, Buss summoned two nurses to the room. Johnson was worried something was wrong until Buss ordered the three to pose for a picture.
"He said, 'These two lovely ladies have taken care of me, I don't want to forget them,'" recalled Johnson, "I was like, 'Wow, Doc, you've still got it!'"
Johnson's voice thickened when telling that story Monday, just hours after Buss had died at age 80.
"I'm crying right now," said Johnson. "Without Dr. Jerry Buss, there is no Magic."
There may never be a more influential or enduring owner-player duo in sports history. Buss and Magic arrived at the Lakers at about the same time in 1979, and over the next 34 years forged a bond that set records, made millions, and forged memories that will decorate a giant city forever.
Together, they created Showtime and won five NBA championships with Johnson on the court. Together, they weathered the storm of Magic's landmark HIV announcement that led to his retirement. Together, they won five more championships with Johnson as a minority investor and team executive.
Buss gave Johnson the encouragement to become a Hall of Fame player and businessman. Johnson gave Buss the inspiration to become a Hall of Fame owner and visionary.
"Dr. Buss gave me the platform to be Magic," Johnson said. "He gave me the knowledge to be Magic."
Buss partied with Johnson when the team was winning, mourned with Johnson when the star was shunned, and showed enduring gratitude by giving Johnson perhaps the greatest going-away gift in sports history.
When Johnson attempted to come back in the fall of 1992, one year after his initial HIV retirement, Buss gave him a one-year deal worth about $14 million. He said he wanted to reimburse his former star for all the years he wasn't the NBA's highest-paid player.
Johnson played in only a handful of exhibition games that fall before pressure from fearful players led him to suddenly quit again. The contract became void upon the retirement. Yet Buss insisted on paying Johnson the entire amount anyway.
"He had such a big heart," Johnson said. "I have lost my second father. I have lost one of my best friends."
During that final visit, Johnson said he and Buss relived their path together, beginning when Buss purchased the Lakers the same year the team made Johnson the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft.
"We went to Palm Springs for the first training camp and we didn't know what to expect; we had something special, but we just didn't know how it could work out," Johnson said. "People thought we couldn't run and win a championship, but Dr. Buss believed in it, he believed in me."
After Johnson led the Lakers to a title in Buss' first season — two rookies stealing the show — the success began to flow, swirling the team and its town together in a roaring current that still exists today.
Many folks credit Johnson with devising the sort of basketball excitement that changed the game forever. Johnson said it was all Buss.
"The league was boring until Dr. Buss bought the Lakers and created the atmosphere that changed basketball forever," Johnson said. "Before Dr. Buss, you just showed up and watched a game and went home. But he created a scene where you didn't want to miss anything, the cheerleaders and the music and the show. He was a genius, way ahead of his time; the league owes him a lot."
During the good times, Johnson said he and his boss would hang out everywhere from dance clubs to football games, an unusual pairing of this giant slick-dressing athlete and an aging bushy-haired hipster.
"We would go to his house on Saturday morning, have breakfast and play pool, and then get on his bus to go stand on the sidelines of USC football games," Johnson recalled. "Then at night we would go to clubs and, man, he could really dance."
Then, as Johnson grew older, Buss gave him something even more important than basketball. He gave him the skills for life after basketball.
"He said, 'Earvin, let me teach you the business,'" Johnson recalled. "He brought me in, showed me the books, taught me how it all works, introduced me to people I would never have met, made me understand what it means to be in L.A."
After Johnson's retirement, Buss made the rare move of allowing someone to buy into his shares of the team, selling Magic about 4% for $10 million.
"When I played, he told me to save my money and he would make me a partner," Johnson said. "Everything Dr. Buss said he would do, he did."
The night when Johnson's Guggenheim group won the bidding for the Dodgers last year, one of his first calls was from Buss.

Releases Human Rights Conference Schedule
TORONTO, May 15, 2014 /CNW/ - In recognition of this week's rainbow flag-raising at City Hall acknowledging the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, WorldPride 2014 Toronto announces:
Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, Anna Rekhviashvili works as Community Center Director at Identoba, the largest LGBT organization in Georgia, where she contributes her considerable talents in community mobilization, human rights activism, solidarity building, as well as addressing gender and sexual identity issues. She is involved in national and international advocacy for LGBT rights with key political figures in education, security and human rights.
"I am honored to be part of WorldPride 2014 Toronto. I see this as a unique opportunity to campaign for freedom of expression and the fundamental rights for our LGBT community in Georgia and to remove anti-LGBT rhetoric by pro-Russian actors," said Rekhviashvili.
"We are very pleased that Anna will be joining us to share her experience and that of the Georgian LGBT community," said Dr. Shelley Craig, Co-Chair of the Pride Toronto Board of Directors. "Their courage and commitment to human rights in a hostile environment is an inspiration to us, and we look forward to learning from her story."
In 2013, Anna Rekhviashvili was one of the key organizers of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) in Tbilisi. The peaceful event was disrupted by Orthodox priests and thousands of anti-LGBT counter-protesters, injuring around 17 people, including police officers. It sparked massive public debates on LGBT issues in the media. Most people in Georgia view homosexuality as a sin, and legislation similar to the Russian law prohibiting "propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations" has been introduced in the Georgian Parliament. Laws of this nature effectively silence the free expression and assembly of LGBT people and their supporters, stifling advocacy and encouraging homophobia and transphobia.
Returning IGMs
In recognition of their leadership in global human rights, WorldPride 2014 is proud to welcome all former International Grand Marshals standing in solidarity at this year's global festival in Toronto in June. Together this distinguished group of activists will keep the world's eyes focused on international human rights for LGBTTIQQ2SA* individuals. The returning IGMs are:
Bill Schiller (Sweden) - Former Secretary General, International Lesbian and Gay
Cultural Network
Rosanna Flamer-Caldera (Sri-Lanka) - Executive Director, EQUAL Ground
Gareth Henry (Jamaica) - Former Co-Chair for Lesbians All-Sexuals and Gays
Victor Mukasa (Uganda) - Founding Member, Sexual Minorities Uganda
Angie Umbac (Philippines) - President and Campaigns Coordinator, Rainbow Rights Project
Goran Miletic (Serbia) - Programme Director for the Western Balkan States, Civil Rights Defenders
and Marcela Romero (Argentina) - Regional Coordinator, Latin American and Caribbean Network of Transgender People
On Sunday, June 29 at 1 p.m. they will join with Anna Rekhviashvili to lead the WorldPride 2014 Parade as global human rights leaders.
WorldPride Human Rights Conference Schedule
From June 25-27, 2014 the WorldPride Human Rights Conference will take place in downtown Toronto, bringing together an exciting gathering of activists, artists, educators, journalists, policymakers, students, and others engaged in LGBTTIQQ2SA human rights from over 50 countries around the world.

1969. Seventh grade. School trip to an amusement park. While sitting with a friend in a shaded and secluded spot, I was surrounded by 5 or 6 kids who demanded our ride tickets. When I stood to my 6-foot-2-inch frame and invited them to try and take my tickets, they decided to pick on someone else.
1975. A high-school football linebacker decided to test the band major in the boys' locker room. Football linebacker had a sore nose. Band major was unscathed.
A patient, we'll call him John, called my office several years ago, frantic over the behavior of his son Aaron. "My son thinks there are helicopters circling our home, following his movements," he said.
At my office the next day, dad was frantic. Aaron, who appeared disheveled and preoccupied, presented his experiences in a matter-of-fact style. He was certain some authority had singled him out to be placed under surveillance. He had no insight into the psychotic nature of his thinking.
For the third Saturday in a row an under-utilized patch of land in South Florida was transformed.
Once upon a time, nurses were not allowed to take blood pressure – only the doctor could do that. Times change.
But they haven't changed enough. For 19 years, nurse practitioners in Florida have tried to get the right to practice to the full extent of our education and capability, which includes prescribing scheduled substances. So far, our efforts have been fruitless.
Three years ago, a group of friends and I started to dream up what a lot of people considered impossible: a festival that would bring poetry to all 2.6 million residents of greater Miami.
At that time, Miami's cultural scene was exploding. Art Basel was in full force, and we wanted to do a festival that was the opposite of the "pipe-and-blazer" readings that most people associate with poetry. We wanted to do a festival that reflected Miami's diversity and personality.
Absentee ballots. Polling centers open for days on end. Early voting. All of these are ways in which Americans can vote for their nation's elections. So they might be shocked to hear me tell them that 19,542 Venezuelans living in the United States have to go through a much more grueling process to be able to do the same thing they can do rather easily.
Barrel-chested Leo Thalassites squints like Clint Eastwood, hops around like Jackie Chan and has been an active cop for nearly six decades. He is 86 years old.
He first joined the Miami-Dade Police Department in 1956. He moved to the Hialeah Police Department in 1963, where he has been on active duty ever since. And now, according to the International Police Association, he is the oldest active police officer.
On a mostly sun drenched South Florida day, about 900 former Miami Herald employees—myself included-- joined the current staff on Wednesday to reminisce, cry, and mourn the loss of the once proud building by the bay that will soon become a hotel/condo and possible mega casino now planned for the old property.
The Miami Herald isn't going away. The newspaper operations, along with news partner WLRN, will move out to Doral in April.
On June 22, 2004 I was shot point blank with a .45-caliber gun as I entered a subway station in Astoria Queens. The bullet entered my back and rattled around, destroying my hip. It had just enough inertia to come to a stop after puncturing the femoral artery. Nobody was ever prosecuted for my shooting. Meanwhile, I suffered for six years before being diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.
The Florida Public Records Act, also known as F.S. 119, is straightforward: All state, county and municipal records are open for personal inspection and copying by any person. And it is the duty of each agency to provide you with access to public records.
As I lean my motorcycle into the curve that takes me onto I-95, I roll the throttle to accelerate up to highway speeds. Up ahead I see a car going well below the minimum speed of 45 mph, with the left turn signal on but swerving to the right. I give this big unknown a wide berth, and as I pass, I see the person gabbing it up on a cell phone.

Perhaps you've seen the phrase "Live to Ride—Ride to Live" on a T-shirt or bumper sticker somewhere. It has been on my belt buckle for about 30 years. Motorcycling has been a passion of mine pretty much from the day I got my driver's license. The activity of being in the wind, leaning into corners, the sight of a bike, and the very simplistic nature of the machine, all bring joy.

The inviting space and inventive menu created by owner Bryan Howington and chef Tim Swinehart have made Central Flats and Taps a welcome addition to the North Central district known as Happy Holler.
"There's a void in the North Knoxville area," Howington says. "We had no idea the number of young people who had moved in and reestablished the neighborhood. It's a neighborhood restaurant and bar. We carry all the local beer and spirits we can, and we will use as much local food and produce as we can."
How was menu devised? "They came to me and wanted to do something with flatbread," Swinehart says. "I've always wanted to work at a place without a fryer. Everything's fresh. There's no microwave. We make everything in small batches. We don't even have anything big. We have a Cuisinart and a blender. I wanted a healthy bar menu."
The flats are actually naan—a seven-inch for panini sandwiches and nine-inch for the flats, which are essentially pizzas. Flats range from a simple margherita pizza to a "Crazy Cajun" featuring bleu cheese cream sauce topped with Cajun chicken, red onions, and feta and bleu cheese crumbles.
Vegetarian options include the Veginator, a panino stuffed with pan-seared artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, red onions, marinated portobellos, smoked Gouda cheese, field greens, and roma tomatoes. The wings are slow-roasted then baked. The menu advises patrons to allow ample time when ordering them. Salads include the Garden Herb Italian Salad which mixes house-marinated portobello mushrooms, Kalamata olives, red onions, prosciutto, and herb cheese blend.
Check out the daily lunch specials: the panino or flat of the day or a half panino with salad for only $6. "It's good, and it's quick," says Swinehart.
And then there are the taps: 20 beers on tap, many of them locally brewed. Drink specials are creative: "Tennessee Night" features discounts on local beers and spirits and Biltmore wines. On "Twisted Tuesday," pair any bottle of Twisted wine with a flat of your choice for $22.
"We wanted to open a place where we'd want to hang out," says Howington. "We built bigger tables so people can sit with other people if they want to. You have to offer a good quality product at a good price. A couple can split a flat and have salad and a beverage for under $20."
Central Flats & Taps
1204 Central Ave. 247-0392
Sunday-Monday: 11 a.m.-3 a.m., age 21+ only after 9 p.m.
Must Haves
Cluckin' n Kickin' BBQ Chicken: The secret's in the drizzle: You get the flavor of the sauce without a lot of sauce. The flat is topped with a drizzle of sriracha BBQ sauce and a sprinkle of the house blend of eight cheeses. Next come sliced chicken, tendrils of red onion, and strips of fire-roasted red pepper. Another sprinkle of cheese and drizzle of sauce complete the colorful, piquant masterpiece baked on huge stones in the oven.
Greek Salad: The chicken is marinated in balsamic vinaigrette and, according to Swinehart, every herb he has on hand. After baking, it's served atop mixed greens, artichoke hearts, red pepper strips, thinly sliced red onions, pitted Kalamata olives, and feta cheese. It's a dish fit for a goddess. No coincidence that it's served with Aphrodite dressing, the chef's original concoction of balsamic vinegar, tahini, sesame oil, and fresh herbs.
East of Cali: It's easy to see why this sandwich has become the restaurant's most requested one. Pan-seared turkey and smoked Gouda are a smooth pairing. The freshly sliced avocado and pesto mayo add a creamy element to the mix. As with all the panini, it's served with your choice of chips, pasta salad, or side salad.

My brother just gave a Wii to my husband and me for our (early) Xmas gift. We do not like shooting/war/violent type games, so what good stuff is out there that we should get?
My brother just gave a Wii to my husband and me for our (early) Xmas gift. We do not like shooting/war/violent type games, so what good stuff is out there that we should get?
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe.
The Wii is perfect for someone who doesn't like those sorts of games- like me! No shooting/war games in my house.
I'm okay with non-realistic cartoon violence, which is present in some of these games. I'm a big fan of the Mario franchise in general.
My number one recommendation is Mario Kart. Fantastic fun, and a game I'm actually good at! I like using the wheel, my husband does not.
Number 2 is a "party game" you can play some parts of it with up to 12 people! WarioWare. This has some "gross out" humor, but it's limited. Lots of mini-mini games- things that take just a few seconds to complete. Very fun, and funny to watch.
I also like Mario Party and Paper Mario. I was not a fan of Mario Galaxy- as it made me dizzy.
Non-mario, I do really like Wii Sports Resort and Wii Sports. Wii Fit is fun, but I'd get it on sale.
We really enjoy Guitar Hero, but prefered the first one.
The Just Dance games look cool, and I'm excited to get the new Donkey Kong Country game too.
A friend of mine (in his late 40s) is addicted to Animal Crossing, but I don't really "get it".
Another fun thing to do is download the classic games onto the console- Bubble Bobble is my favorite there.
I love Wii Sports- expecially Wii tennis. Wii Resort Sports is pretty fun too.
My faves are Wii Bowling and Dance Dance Revolution. DDR is like twister with a beat.
AceOn6, the golf loving skating fan
BoomBlox!! It's like reverse Jenga. WiiFit is great. Definitely WiiSports, and they have all the old Nintendo games like Super Mario Bros and Zelda.
My favorite Wii game is endless ocean. And Mario games in general.
LOVE Mario Kart. It's my favourite. My husband and I play it all the time and often have friends over for Mario nights
I also really enjoy Dance Dance Revolution and Wii Sports. Tennis and bowling are always fun.
Has anyone tried the skating in Wii sports? Whoever came up with thishas no clue how skating is, I'm sure. :LOL:
Wii Winter Sports' figure skating is a joke. We were very disappointed. Not at all worth the money. EA has a figure skating game, but I've never tried it.
I have Wii Fit Plus, which is also better than the original Wii Fit, but EA's fitness games are allegedly the best. I haven't tried them myself.
The kids love all the Harry Potter Wii games. They have a lot of secret levels and features that are unlocked as the player meets the various challenges.
DH and the kids love Disney's Toy Story Mania - almost as much fun as the WDW ride.
I hate shooters as well. They're boring imo and the games tend to be so dark and mottled looking. I like color!
The Mario Galaxy games are really fun and New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a throwback to the 2D games. It's like the NES games and Super Mario World rolled up into one with maybe a bit of the DS games thrown in for good measure. The multiplayer is soooo freaking fun.
Wii Fit Plus and Mario Kart are good games.
Donkey Kong Country Returns looks good.
I'm gonna be picking up Skyward Sword when it comes out.
All in all, I'm loving that Nintendo is doing so much retro type stuff. I still have a working NES and I still love playing Super Mario Bros. 3.
I tried out the Winter Sports games. I was pretty bad at skating and my niece laughed her head off everytime my poor ski jumper crashed.Wii Winter Sports' figure skating is a joke. We were very disappointed. Not at all worth the money. EA has a figure skating game, but I've never tried it.
We have Wii fit plus which is great, but we also have the Winter Olympics which is fun because all of the venues are based on the 2010 Olympics. They have great games too. I want to get Wii Party (or Wii Party Party as I call it because it's what they say in the commercials lol).. it looks like it has a bunch of games that would be good for when my nieces come over. They're 5 and 3 and would have fun with the ones where you hide the remotes and they have to find the one that is making the noise etc. We don't have a lot of toys at our place so it would be good to have something for them to do.
You might also like Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, especially if you're into Facebook games like Farmville (or would be without the social aspect).
But yeah, you can't go wrong with the Mario and Zelda staples. Lego Harry Potter looks pretty cool too.
I'm struggling my way through Super Mario Galaxy 2 right now. I also love the internet feature on Mario Kart. I get online and play with other users all over the world.
The Deca Sports games are cheap and not as good as some of the other sports games, but they are fun. The first one has skating and it's pretty fun. I also love Samba de Amigo, which is great for parties. Just Dance is a little disappointing to me, but I heard that Just Dance 2 is better and really fun. Dance Dance Revolution is extremely fun and a good one to have at parties.
Logic is in the eye of the logician --Gloria Steinem
I used to enjoy Mario Kart as well. Haven't played in a while, though. The best part is playing online against others. It is a good way to learn tricks cause you can see what the others do that you didn't know about!
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
Defintely Mario Kart. Wii Sports is a good one too, especially the tennis, boxing and bowling. Any of the Mario Party or Mario Galaxy games are great, as is Wii Fit plus. I have Epic Mickey on my Christmas list.
Does anyone remember this Mario game that was on the Nintendo 64? I believe you had to collect stars by finishing levels. I particularly remember one part where you went into this castle and you could jump through the pictures hanging on the walls. Was that Mario Sunshine? I want to find a game similar to that for Wii. Now that I think about it, I think I could probably download it on my Wii and play it right now! I just know all the tricks, so I would like a new challenge. Anyway, if anyone knows that game, could you recommend similar types of games for the Wii? Is the Mario Galaxy like that?
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
Another vote for Mario Kart -- I love playing it online. I'm also a fan of Super Mario Galaxy.

The Daily Star
---- — Otsego County used to be a good place to live. We now have some rich liberals that have moved in and want to run every aspect of our lives. They want to tell us how to farm and how to vote.
Some of them have complained since the day they landed here. They were whining long before the gas issue; they must not have done their homework very well before moving here. Their planners and comprehensive plans only suck money from the taxpayers and make a lot of hard feelings.
County Rep. Kosmer from the Sustainable Otsego group wants to raise the county sales tax. Sustainable Otsego tells us to buy local. Tax increases discourage buying local.
Sustainable tells us to go green. Payback figures on green energy look less than impressive. While some rich liberals are getting tax credits on green energy, the rest of us have to work harder to make up the difference.
My family has been in the county more than 200 years. We have always been able to plan for ourselves. We were sustainable long before Sustainable Otsego. I don't need any rich liberals telling me how to farm or vote.

Mexican Beach Vacations: Shopping and Shipping InformationApril 26th, 2012
One of the many reasons why a Mexico beach vacation is such a great trip idea is to enjoy the shopping opportunities. Whether you're interested in finding gorgeous, one-of-a-kind pieces for your home, or if the idea of taking advantage of low prices appeals to you, you can find everything from textiles and ceramics to personalized artwork for sale in Mexican shops.
Shopping in the Ixtapa-Zihautanejo Region
As is the case in any geographically diverse country, every region in Mexico offers its own unique take on handcrafted goods. Guerrero, the state in which Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo, and our own Troncones reside, is famed for its ceramic plates and dinner sets, wood sculptures, ceremonial masks, and hammocks-most of which are available through the large and open-air artisan markets.
Casa de la Sirena in Troncones: Affordable LuxuryJanuary 24th, 2012
If you're considering a Mexican beach vacation in the Troncones region, Casa de la Sirena offers the ideal accommodations. This beachfront compound is one of the only facilities of its kind, offering privacy and luxury at a fraction of the cost of busy resorts in the neighboring Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo region. If you've ever dreamed of a tropical getaway that is good for the spirit and even better on the pocketbook, this is the place to make it all happen.

Mime and motion explored at Stroke Forum workshop
Updated 1:09pm Wednesday 27th February 2013 in News By Morwenna Blake
MIME, motion and masses of fun were had by members of a stroke club at a special workshop held in Wilton on Tuesday.
The Our Time Project from Sukosta Theatre Company was at Wilton Community Centre to work with members of the Forum Stroke Club.
The aim of the project is to work with groups catering for older people, using movement and simple improvisation drawing on life experiences to reach for and find hidden theatrical talent.
The project has been visiting groups across the south west Wiltshire area through the support of the area board.
A spokesman said: "Each workshop is a joyful experience for all those involved, and much laughter is had by all."

The holidays often lead to disruption of our kids' basic routines including school, naps, meals and sleep. There are family outings, special treats, shopping expeditions and visits to relatives. The stores are crowded and there is traffic everywhere. Adults are charging around making holiday preparations. All of this can lead to irritability and exhaustion for the adults while taking its toll on our children.
Unfortunately, children are less equipped to handle this stress because they haven't yet developed the necessary coping skills. They won't say, " Mom, I've had enough fun, sweets and presents. I think I'll skip the party this afternoon, I need a nap."
As parents we need to consider our children and their needs as we develop a strategy to help them enjoy a memorable and calm holiday experience.
Here are a few basic tips to help your children enjoy a less stressful holiday period.
First and foremost, try to make sure the kids get plenty of rest, eat well and stick to routines as much as possible. Have reasonable age appropriate expectations
- Decide which gatherings to attend and whether or not it makes sense to bring the kids.
- Don't expect a 2 year old to sit at an adult holiday dinner table for more time than they can handle. Hopefully there is a children's table and you've brought some coloring books or other engaging material.
- If you are traveling, anticipate delays and be prepared with extra food, activities, clothing and patience.
- When things don't go as planned, try to model your excellent coping skills by verbalizing how you are handling the stress. " I'm feeling stressed, I'm going to take a walk, or do some deep breathing", whatever calms you down.
- Try not to criticize the in laws and family, as the children will pick up on the tension and may feel conflicted about their loyalties.
- Volunteer somewhere or participate in giving to others so the spirit of the holiday is not lost in the tinsel.
- Schedule down time with your kids to counterbalance the holiday frenzy. Figure out what helps your child de-stress, (playing in the park, reading, watching a movie, listening to music) and do it with them.
Embrace the reality that things will not be perfect. The children will fight, someone will spill red wine on the carpet, and you may not get the holiday cards out. That's okay.
If there has been a recent change in family circumstances like separation or divorce, the death of a loved one, a recent move or change in financial circumstances these additional events will add more stress to their holiday. You need to be watchful for symptoms of stress and be supportive if this is the case. Listening to their concerns is very helpful. Have a wonderful imperfect holiday. Relax. Think about what feelings, thoughts and memories you want to cultivate around the holiday and share them with your family.
Your children will not remember an exhausting list of activities but they will remember sharing in family traditions that have special meaning to you.

It's OK to Say Good Things About Higher Education … Really, It Is!
With Commencement season winding down, the media seems intent on making sure no one gets too optimistic or too positive about life after college. Newspapers and TV reports are replete with stories about levels of student debt, the paucity of good paying jobs and the low graduation rates. While there are certainly challenges for some graduates, the fact is that many will do just fine.
I was heartened last week to find a report that provided good news about higher education. In fact, it did so by reporting findings that seem to rebuke a widely held assumption since 2011 that too little learning actually takes place on college campuses.
In 2011, a book entitled, Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses, received a great deal of national and international attention. Using data from the College Learning Assessment (CLA), the authors of Academically Adrift concluded that students had very little growth in learning during their undergraduate years. The CLA is a national assessment tool that measures critical thinking.
At a recent meeting of the American Enterprise Institute, the authors of the CLA, who work for the Council for Aid to Education, released the results of two more recent studies, "Does College Matter? Measuring Critical-Thinking Outcomes Using the CLA" and "Three Principle Questions About Critical Thinking Tests." These results paint a very different picture from Academically Adrift.
According to this new research, critical thinking increases significantly between the freshman and senior years. Their data demonstrates twice the level of improvement than reported in the 2011 study. While the authors of this most recent research were quick to explain that the variance in results may have something to do with the research methodologies used in the various studies, the results seem clear and irrefutable. College does matter and students do learn!
The point of all this is that a college education is neither uniform nor totally predictable. Some students learn very little and others grow and develop exponentially. Some students graduate with large debt and others graduate debt-free or with manageable loans. Some students search unsuccessfully for jobs while others move seamlessly from graduation to full and fulfilling employment in their chosen field.
Higher education is not perfect. But in my experience, the benefits far outweigh the challenges and a vast majority of students experience real value in their lives intellectually, socially, morally and developmentally.
I understand that the headline, "College Graduate Debt Ridden and Unemployed" sells more papers than "College Graduate Happy and Successful," but the second description is more accurate.
Colleges and universities are replete with dedicated faculty members and administrators working hard every day to improve the quality of teaching and learning. Colleges and universities are packed with students who arrive with hopes and dreams and study hard to achieve success. It's OK to celebrate this. And the evidence can be found in research studies and through Commencement ceremonies.
(As always, your comments and questions are welcome.)

Twin Rivers DGC needs A LOT of work. There is way to much under brush that needs to be removed. Pathways between holes need to be wider(by clearing out under brush would help this). Poor tee pads, and muddy fairways. On the plus side, it's great use of the land. It could be a great course. I don't think I'll be back tell things are cleaned up.

Missing Baskets. Course maintenance needed. Trash! Repetitive shots. Not a huge fan of this course. I may have just be spoiled from playing some of the best courses in the US in the same week.
