T.I. vs EMIN?M
great debate wit a chance of thinking cs T.I is a hero eminem is greater, T.I story is likely frm street , hustler, life fighter true story of his life and street life even the lyrics is full of messages. But Eminem the real lif is from battle of colors that he is skin white so he cant stand to Hip hop cs its black musics so he try to prove that he can stand .
No-one is denying that Eminem isn't a great rapper but T.I is an outstanding rapper. His lyrics I feel are stronger than Em's and hold more of a bearing on people's lives. T.I is an inspiration and he has shown so many times that he will get back up after anything and everyone is just so anxious for him to get out of jail and hopefully stay out so he can continue to bless us with his music. Respect The King, Salute! Team T.I For Life.
you guys are discussing this on a T.I Website, i mean yea, its a good comparison, but if it was on a Eminem site you would never see anyone post something comparing him to T.I, there has to be something soo great-full about eminem that people on trapmuzik thought about comparing T.I to him...Both these rappers have been through similar situations, the difference between these two, is eminem was the first real white rapper which makes him just more amazing then anyone else just by that...also, Eminem has made a name for him self from Dr.Dre, he started putting himself out there by dissing and making fun of other celebs, but T.I has made it to the same level of fame by just staying on one style...i dont chose any.
t.i. is the king for a resson. and as far as it goes t.i. is 2pac replacement. and 2pac was by far the best rapper in the game.
Eminem is a good lyricist even though his content is mostly BS that I can't support. All this weirdo shock music from Odd Future and Lil B those corny little dudes is because of Eminem. Tip is more Scarface, 2Pac, Ice Cube in his prime. He doesn't waste time trying to see how many words he can fit in a bar while not saying anything, that's why I will always prefer TIP over a rapper like Eminem. By the way, why are Eminem fans always reaching? Go to youtube listening to another rappers music watch Em fans come to someone elses page and start talking about Em. It's like his fans can't rest until everyone feels he is the greatest or better than the person you prefer, which is simply not true
Both are the best rappers in the Game to me, but i personaly like T.i.'s music alot more den eminem. But eminem is still one of the best rappers tho
You cannot live without water or air; they are both equally a big part of your life so the same applies to this situtation. T.I. and Shady are also a big part of peoples lifes. I personally think they are both great jus on two totally different levels.
The Urban Apparel's Cool Star Award 2011. Vote for T.I.!
Take a moment to vote for our favorite fashion icon!
T.I. has been nominated for The Urban Apparel's Cool Star Award 2011. It's the international award 'recognizing the individual who encapsulates the spirit of the fashion scene and who is the most iconic and influential - aka T.I.!'
Vote Here:
Tatz a good one Shady! 2 me I think T.I.P. is more famous and a G than Eminem.
But at da same time Eminem isnt a terrible Rapper either so...
T.I. is KING! So what do you think?
They are different; however, its obvious that you are a fan of Eminem and therefor have a biased opinion. I can appreciate his lyricism, but, "battles like a boss... mentally annihilating his opponents," I don't think is accurate. Alot of the times Eminem seems like a rags to riches, got lucky, only white boy in the game who can throw some lyrics. kind of a rapper, while T.I has true talent to write and spit some deep shit. Big difference, I think.
they r too different. TIP give more effortlessly EM is great but i cant listen too his music anything ft. Eminem is off the chain but as a whole i cant vibe..... A better comparison, 2pac because of vocabular and flaw.
I think they're both obviously very taleneted both succesful both legends both lyrically brilliant.... But i like T.I. better always been a tip fan always will be! Its the sheer diversity of his songs, you got the club bangers, the songs for the ladies, the real gansta tip hardcore anthems, the self conscious ones, the motivational ones his swagga him as a person i could go on and on!!
That's my opnion... It's the kiiiiiiiiing Bitch haha ; )
no competiton T.I wins hands down, Eminem is a ledgend and all but T.I just about beats him, all T.I lyrics fit in perfect and so clear where as the other rappers you cant even understand and most of the time you have to look up the lyirics and T.I has more meaningful songs and just amazing its hard to explain absolute The best
You know T.I. songs are way more sensible. They touch you in teh heart know I'm saying?
But when Em goes on the mic, he spits faster, but sometimes I think he only use a lyric because it rhymes, cuz it doesnt fit in. But you Em is a great rapper, best of the world as well as T.I.
1 King brother of 1 Emperor haha.
first T.I. has the mental game as well if you were a tru fan u would know just listen to live ya life and if u have heard "fuck a mix tape" you would also know that T.I. is not gonna entertain that
I think they are both crazy....! very disturbed I might add........and REALLY SOUND ALIKE!
What do u know....! Maybe the same freak in two different birthday suits!!
Don't take whatever you like, this is not a song with good lyrics. Compare this
Dead and gone (Tip)-----------Just loose it (Em)
Slide Show (Tip)--------- 3 A.M. (Em)
And many more
You see, we can't really compare lyrics... But overall, i think T.I.'s better than Em
In my opinion, T.I.P. is better cause of his style, his lyrics... But they're both really great and in my opinion, Eminem is 2nd.

Paul's Top 9 Matches

About Paul Delos Boyer, Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1997
Paul Delos Boyer (born July 31, 1918) is an American biochemist and analytical chemist. He shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for research on the "enzymatic mechanism underlying the biosynthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)" (ATP synthase) with John E. Walker; the remainder of the Prize in that year was awarded to Danish chemist Jens Christian Skou for his discovery of the Na+/K+-ATPase.
Birth and education
Boyer was born in Provo, Utah. He grew up in a nonpracticing Mormon family. He attended Provo High School, where he was active in student government and the debating team. He received a B.S. in chemistry from Brigham Young University in 1939 and obtained a Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation Scholarship for graduate studies. Five days before leaving for Wisconsin, Paul married Lyda Whicker. They remain married and have three children: Gail B. Hayes, Alexandra Boyer and Dr. Douglas Boyer; and eight grandchildren: Imran Clark, Mashuri Clark, Rashid Clark, Djahari Clark, Faisal Clark, Lisa A. Hayes, Leah Boyer and Josh Boyer.
Though the Boyers connected with the Mormon community in Wisconsin, they considered themselves "on the wayward fringe" and doubted the doctrinal claims of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). After experimenting with Unitarianism, Boyer's scientific background led him to eventually accept atheism.
Academic career
After Boyer received his Ph.D. degree in biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1943, he spent years at Stanford University on a war-related research project dedicated to stabilization of serum albumin for transfusions. He began his independent research career at the University of Minnesota and introduced kinetic, isotopic, and chemical methods for investigating enzyme mechanisms. In 1955, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship and worked with Professor Hugo Theorell on the mechanism of alcohol dehydrogenase. In 1956, he accepted a Hill Foundation Professorship and moved to the medical campus of the University of Minnesota. In 1959-1960, he served as Chairman of the Biochemistry Section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and in 1969-1970 as President of the American Society of Biological Chemists.
Since 1963, he has been a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at University of California, Los Angeles. In 1965, he became the Founding Director of the Molecular Biology Institute and spearheaded the construction of the building and the organization of an interdepartmental Ph.D. program. This institutional service did not diminish the creativity and originality of his research program, which led to three postulates for the binding mechanism for ATP synthesis—that energy input was not used primarily to form ATP but to promote the binding of phosphate and mostly the release of tightly bound ATP; that three identical catalytic sites went through compulsory, sequential binding changes; and that the binding changes of the catalytic subunites, circularly arranged on the periphery of the enzyme, were driven by the rotation of a smaller internal subunit.
Paul Boyer was Editor or Associate Editor of the Annual Review of Biochemistry from 1963-1989. He was Editor of the classic series, "The Enzymes". In 1981, he was Faculty Research Lecturer at UCLA. In that same year, he was awarded the prestigious Tolman Medal by the Southern California Section of the American Chemical Society.

Facepaint for Kids Without the Scary Metals
10.12.11 Facepaint for Kids Without the Scary Metals
Has your kid zeroed in on a Halloween costume idea yet? Last year I spent so much time making my daughter's raccoon costume that when Halloween night finally arrived, I wasn't prepared to give her good, dark raccoon eyes without using toxic make-up that eventually smeared right into her eyes. Whether you are painting zebra stripes or a strong man's mustache onto your kid's sweet face, you know that the easier to apply and the safer the material, the better the night!
Lyra face pencils are a fantastic and safe solution to your make-up artist needs! These face pencils are safe for the skin and body and most importantly, free of lead and other heavy metals and parabens. Read for more information about heavy metals including lead in facepaint.
For best results, start off with freshly cleaned skin. When applying color, begin with light colors and move to darker shades afterwards. To remove, simply wash face with a mild soap and rinse with water. It is amazingly easy to clean your kid's face without having to scrub them!
Luckily, these lead-free face pencils are encased in wood so the colors stay off your hands as you do your magic. They also wash out of most textiles in the event that your newly painted lion-faced kid takes an over excited dive onto the couch. The pencil point is comfortable and fluid to draw with, making it easy to get detailed fine outlines. In the event that you need to sharpen, we recommend sharpeners that have a larger opening for beeswax crayons.
We have 2 different sets here at MightyNest. The basic set colors include: Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, White and Black. We also have the plus set in colors: Pink, Orange, Brown, Purple, Gold, and Silver. After Halloween is over, they're great for birthday parties and fun play dates!
This product is not tested on animals and is dermatologically tested and certified nontoxic by the Art and Craft Materials Institute (ACMI).

Though her desire for a comfortable life means that she cannot marry for love without money, her resistance to the rules of the social elite endangers her many marriage proposals. As Lily spirals down into debt and dishonor, her story takes on the resonance of classic tragedy.
The House of Mirth is a lucid, disturbing analysis of the stifling limitations imposed upon women of author Edith Wharton's generation. Herself born into Old New York Society, Wharton watched as an entirely new set of people living by new codes of conduct entered the metropolitan scene.
In telling the story of Lily Bart, Wharton recasts the age-old themes of family, marriage, and money in ways that transform the traditional novel of manners into an arrestingly modern tale of one woman's struggle to succeed.
(P)2008 Tantor
"Good book, one suggestion..."
Very good book. One suggestion for future listeners: If I had it to do over, I might have gone with another narrator. The one for this version has a very girlish quality that I really liked, however her voice was also very gravelly and after awhile, that started to bother me. Just a small issue, but something to consider!
Storky46--Avid reader/listener. Love my old Kindle so much, I cannot bring myself to buy a new Fire.
The only good thing about this book it that it occupied my time driving to and from work for a few weeks. I kept thinking the story would finally get better and the heroine would at least go get a job or learn a trade, but she was a vapid, useless woman, caught in a world where women are disregarded except for ornamental purposes. I had a hard time identifying with her in this story.
She could have had the heroine find something to do to make a living, or she could have had her marry her love interest instead of waiting to fall in love with a rich man. She was so shallow, but I suppose it was the era and how she was raised.
I liked her "continental" accent.
No...it was shallow and plotless.
I was disappointed in this first book I have read by Edith Wharton. Perhaps it will be my last!
"lovely and illuminating"
This book was not easy listening but it was worth the extra effort.
Troubled heroine in a different era

They're looking to hire 850 agents.

They're looking to hire 850 agents.
The catch is you have to work for the FBI.
Dude, can I steal your avatar for another site? That rocks!!
So the First Bunch of Idiots are hiring huh???? Good luck with that.
Why are you guys beating up on the fbi?
Possibly because they are often arrogant and condescending...
We can't do our job without local law enforcement. They can do without us.
Former ASAIC of a Field Office for the Secret Service.
I considered the gentleman that made that statement as one of my mentors. I interned with the Secret Service in college. He is now in charge of a state law enforcement agency.
They have been known to "Assist" in an operation, then claim the credit if it goes good and blame the locals if it goes bad "We were only assisting local law enforcement".
Interesting, but for some reason I've never had any interest going federal.
I thought that this being a law enforcement site folks would know the job postings should be law enforcement related. Don't make me issue infractions for violating TOS.
I don't like the FBI because they won't hire any agents over 39 years old (or whatever the cutoff is), regardless of previous LE experience, supposedly because of their damn retirement program, which is the flimsiest excuse I've ever heard of. I think that includes all the sworn desk investigative jobs too. About the only workers they don't discriminate against are civilian contractors.
If a private company practiced that level of age descrimination for such a correctable detail as retirement policy, and flatly refused to accomidate employees over an arbitrary cutoff date (even those in top physical condition with decades of LE experience), then the officers of that company would all be in jail and fined till they bled.
So it seems that we all have our own reasons to hate the FBI.

Imagine a Center for Coping With Loss will host its first "i Remember" evening as a way to remind grieving children, families and other adults that they are not alone in their grief.
Through ritual, art, and the sharing of music, memories and readings, people will experience the healing and therapeutic power and support provided by a caring community of individuals, explained Imagine executive director Mary Robinson.
Opened in May, Imagine offers peer support groups, which are free and run year-round, for children age 3 and up, and for adults of all ages. The center serves people coping with loss due to death and, in 2013, will begin support programs for children, families and individuals coping with terminal and chronic illness.
The "i Remember" event will feature an open house format and begin at 6:30 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. and will be held at Imagine's center located inside the First United Methodist Church.
"We hope people will leave the evening feeling less alone in their grief, that they will receive comfort and support through the caring rituals provided, that they will learn about available resources for coping with grief and loss, and that they will grow in their resiliency and feel a sense of hope for a brighter future," Robinson said.
The event coincides with National Children's Grief Awareness Day. To honor the occasion, Imagine will also break ground on its remembrance garden planned for Mindowaskin Park.
"At 11 a.m. we will have a kickoff for the garden project," Robinson said. "In attendance will be Senator Tom Kean, members of The Friends of Mindowaskin, the Mayor and other town officials, and Imagine staff and board members as well as Imagine Youth Advisory Council members and members of the Imagine Club at Westfield High School."
Providing support for "i Remember" are several local businesses. Ahrre's Coffee Roastery is donating the coffee and the following are sponsors for this event: Summit Medical Group's Behavioral Health and Cognitive Therapy Center, Distinctive Dentistry by David M. Weinman, DMD, Christine Cosenza of State Farm Insurance, and Tiffany Natural Pharmacy.

Register-Herald Reporter
Law enforcement members protect and serve their communities each day and Friday evening the Fraternal Order of Police Black Diamond Lodge 81 recognized eight men who had "distinguished service" in the last year.
Among those honored was West Virginia State Police Corporal R.A. Daniel, who not only received a Distinguished Service award, but was also named Officer of the Year.
After being named Officer of the Year, Daniel said he was "shocked" and thought there were other officers "more deserving" than himself.
"It takes a special person to put on a badge," Daniel said. "It's a great honor."
The FOP Black Diamond Lodge describes the Officer of the Year as "An individual who has excelled in his law enforcement duties, been an active and respected member of his community, earned and maintained the respect of his peers and
fellow citizens and dedicated himself to strive for excellence in the quest to make his department and community a better place."
Daniel received a plaque for his Distinguished Service, and a sculpted police officer statue as his Officer of the Year award, from FOP Black Diamond Lodge President Dean Capehart and U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va.
Also receiving recognition and plaques from Capehart and Rahall for their service were Sgt. Dean Bailey, Beckley Police Department; Steve Sturgill, Raleigh County Juvenile Probation Department; Senior Trooper Joseph Frye, West Virginia State Police; Lt. Kevin Hopkins, Raleigh County Sheriff's Office; Officer David Snuffer, Beckley Police Department; Deputy Raschard Cox, Raleigh County Sheriff's Office; and Mickey Sylvester, Division of Natural Resources Police.
For contributions to law enforcement and the local community, the Beckley Moose Lodge and Doug and Linda K. Epling received plaques. And, Captain Skee Barley of the Raleigh County Sheriff's Office was given recognition for his leadership, dedication and involvement in making law enforcement stronger.
Rahall addressed the event's crowd, which included numerous law enforcement officers, State Sens. Mike Green and Daniel Hall, Raleigh County Commissioners Linda K. Epling and Dave Tolliver, Raleigh County Sheriff Steve Tanner, Raleigh County Prosecutor Kristen Keller and Circuit Court Judge Robert Burnside.
Rahall recognized and extended his gratitude to all law enforcement officials across the country who are "on the front lines of keeping communities safe." He also recognized that if it weren't for the preparation of law enforcement and first responders, many more lives could have been lost as a result of the bombings during the Boston Marathon earlier this week.
"We thank you ... each and every one of you," Rahall said to the officers.
Rahall also remembered the efforts of slain Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum, who was shot and killed in his cruiser nearly two weeks ago while keeping an eye on a former "pill mill."
Crime Stoppers received the proceeds from the event; and, Crime Stoppers President Butch Fink presented Lt. Paul Blume with a special thank you award from the organization.

Under fire for the accuracy of "Zero Dark Thirty," director Kathryn Bigelow is defending the film's depiction of torture in the manhunt for Osama bin Laden.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and other lawmakers have criticized "Zero Dark," saying the film is "grossly inaccurate and misleading in its suggestion that torture resulted in information that led to the location" of Bin Laden. The lawmakers asked studio Sony Pictures to attach a disclaimer that the film is fictional.

Joseph Paul Kimble, former police chief of Beverly Hills and San Carlos whose law enforcement career spanned 35 years, has died. He was 86.
During his career, he also served as a supervisor of security for the 1969 Woodstock festival and as head of the San Mateo County Sheriff's VIP security squad where he oversaw security for several dignitaries who visited the San Francisco Bay area.
Mr. Kimble also was a loving and devoted husband. He married his wife, Marilyn, in 1951 and they celebrated their 61st anniversary this year. They had two daughters.
Mr. Kimble died in his San Carlos home early in the morning of Oct. 20 after a lengthy illness.
Born in Lima, OH, in 1926, Mr. Kimble left home to join the U.S. Navy at the age of 17 in 1943. He served as a radio operator on a submarine in the Pacific during World War II.
After the war, Mr. Kimble moved to South San Francisco, where he worked at various odd jobs until he joined the South San Francisco Police Department in 1949. He later left that post to join the San Mateo County Sheriff's Department, where he eventually rose to the rank of captain.
During his time with the sheriff's department, Mr. Kimble's assignments included serving as head of the security details for dignitaries visiting the area. As part of that assignment, Mr. Kimble planned security for The Beatles' 1964 concert at the Cow Palace, where he took the stage in front of the band to calm a raucous crowd so the concert could continue.
He also arranged security for visits to the San Francisco Bay area by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Soviet Premier Nikita Kruschev, French President Charles De Gaulle, German Chancellor Konrad Adenaur, the Shah of Iran, and many other luminaries of the time.
In addition, Mr. Kimble was part of the security team for the 1956 Republican National Convention and headed security for the 1964 Republican National Convention, both at the Cow Palace.
Mr. Kimble later left the sheriff's department to become Police Chief of the San Carlos Police Department. He eventually was courted by Miami and Beverly Hills to head their police departments. He accepted the position in Beverly Hills in 1969.
The Los Angeles Times noted Mr. Kimble's "national reputation as an expert on civil disorders" and called him "one of the 'new breed' of highly educated policemen."
Near the beginning of his term as Beverly Hills Police Chief, Mr. Kimble took a week-long leave of absence to serve as a supervisor of the security team for the 1969 Woodstock concert. Time magazine wrote that Mr. Kimble "supervised an extraordinarily lenient security force at Woodstock."
The work of the security force at Woodstock was a source of pride for Mr. Kimble.
"We told every officer who worked security that we were going to be 'peace officers,' not cops. That we had to establish a rapport with the crowds and not take police action unless it was absolutely necessary," he wrote in an unpublished auto-biography.
Mr. Kimble said later in an interview with the Los Angeles Times: "I've never seen that many people in so small an area who acted so peacefully. It proves something I've believed for a long time—that people are capable of policing themselves if they want to."
During his term in Beverly Hills, Mr. Kimble met a number of dignitaries and celebrities, among them Elvis Presley, Bobby Darin, Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, astronaut Neil Armstrong, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, Bill Cosby, former Vice President Spiro Agnew and George Carlin, to name a few.
After leaving Beverly Hills, the State University of New York at Stony Brook hired Mr. Kimble as Director of Campus Police. His duties also included directing the campus fire department. During his time at Stony Brook, Mr. Kimble earned a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice.
Mr. Kimble left Stony Brook in 1974 to become Director of Police at the University of Houston, which was so large it was considered "a city within a city."
Eventually, Mr. Kimble moved back to California where he finished his career as De Anza College Director of Campus Security and Facilities in Cupertino. He retired from law enforcement in 1984.
One of Mr. Kimble's great loves in life was travel. Over his lifetime he traveled extensively in 50 countries. He often presented travelogues at the San Carlos Adult Community Center. He also was a founding member of the center's Macintosh Users Group, know as San Carlans Using Macintosh (SCUM).
Mr. Kimble is survived by his wife Marilyn; daughters Kerry Kimble and Kim Aguayo, grandchildren Genevieve Goings, Lori Aguayo Ball and P.J. Aguayo; and three great grandchildren.
A celebration of his life is planned at the San Carlos Adult Center, 601 Chestnut Street, San Carlos, CA, on Dec. 8 from noon to 3 p.m.

[Editor's Note: This obituary was written by Mr. Kimble's son-in-law Rusty Sterling.]

The Tribune-Star
---- —
As I watched all the happy people celebrating passage of New York's same-sex marriage law, I couldn't help but project to a time when Indiana adopts a similar statute. (It will happen, Hoosiers, even if we are the last state in the union to accept it.) What a lot of gay women and men may not know is, far out on the edges of the institution of getting married, away from formal wedding clothes, flower arrangements, ministers, vows and disk jockeys who program garter-removal music, there is the somewhat goofy process of applying for a marriage license at your local county courthouse.
My new husband, Bill, jokes that the Indiana application form "is really an intelligence test" because, if you answer "yes" to four out of the five specific yes-no questions on the form, you either don't understand what you're doing or you secretly don't want to get married.
Take question No. 1 that is asked of all prospective brides and grooms: "Are you now or have you ever been adjudged to be mentally incompetent? If answer is 'yes' has the adjudication been removed?"
If that is not tricky enough, take questions No. 3 and 4: "Are you now under the influence of an alcoholic beverage?" and "Are you now under the influence of a narcotic drug?"
Studying the form as Bill and I sat side by side in the Vigo County Clerk's marriage license office, I chuckled and said to the woman taking our application, "I bet you don't get a whole lot of people marking 'yes' and admitting they're drunk."
She looked up from her typing and was all game face, no smiles.
"No, we don't," she said. "But if they did, I can tell you, I would stop the process right there." She added that if she were able to stop the process every time she smelled alcohol on someone's breath — which she would dearly like to do — a lot of people would be sent home to return another day. (Apparently, the law does not give much real cop power to a marriage license clerk unless the prospective spouse is soused.)
Bill and I curbed any further attempts at license application humor after that, especially the desire to riff on question No. 2 about whether we are first cousins.
We are first in-laws — Bill's brother is married to my sister — but we thought it best not to muddy the waters with that. We busied ourselves instead with filling in the many information blanks about our education level, our "color or race," our number of previous marriages and whether those marriages ended "by death, divorce or annulment."
For "marital status," Bill circled "widower," and I circled "never married." Had the air in the office been a little less official, I would have asked the clerk if she got many 61-year-old first-timers like me, but it wasn't, so I didn't.
Given our advanced age, we had only one living parent, my mother, for whom to furnish the required address. Bill's folks and my dad were named but listed as deceased, as the form told us to "so state." That item would have a creepy, almost offensive outcome when we received our Certified Marriage License in the mail a few weeks later:
My father and Bill's parents all were listed as "Residence Unknown."
(A Vigo clerk shared my dismay when I phoned to complain; Bill and I are pretty sure our parents reside in heaven. "I know," she said. "It's not very nice. We've tried and tried to get the state to change it, but that's the way they do it.")
We thought we'd gone well-prepared for the license application process because we had checked the web to see if Indiana requires a blood test. It does not, only various pieces of identification, significant dates, Social Security numbers, proof that at least one of us is a resident of the county in which we planned to marry, and 18 bucks in cash for the license fee.
For a while, because the web is full of outdated information that looks current, I thought that women under the age of 50 were required to bring along "a completed State of Indiana Premarital Examinate Certificate obtained from a health clinic." That got me into feminist high dudgeon, of course, even though I am long past the age limit. I searched site after site, trying to determine why females had to have some sort of medical clearance and males did not.
"That law was changed," said the person who answered the phone at the Vigo County Clerk's office when I finally called for a definitive answer.
When? "In 2004," she said. "There is a lot of misinformation on the Internet."
No kidding. At the time I checked (in April), even an Indiana University website offered specifics about the premarital exam for women and promised it could be gotten for free.
From what I could glean, the intention of the pre-2004 law was to prevent any offspring of a state-certified marriage from contracting rubella, or German measles. The "Examinate Certificate" would state that a woman either carried no risk of passing along rubella or that she was sterile. Women over 50 were presumed to be incapable of becoming pregnant, which is one of those common but erroneous presumptions that a lot of very surprised women over 50 with babies in their arms will tell you they also made.
As it turns out, the only medical aspect of the marriage license application process that still exists in Indiana is the romantic little flier the county clerk's office hands over to a prospective bride and groom along with the application form. In reverse-negative, black and white, a woman in a veil and a man in a fancy suit (with boutonniere) are sandwiched between these words:
"Before You Marry" and "Information on sexually transmitted diseases and HIV."
What follows is a detailed primer on everything from herpes to gonorrhea, including the reminders that "You cannot tell by looking that a person has an STD or HIV disease," "It's possible to have an STD (including HIV) and not feel sick," and "Some STDs cannot be cured."
Kind of makes a person feel inclined toward an alcoholic beverage — or six.

Deborah Henson-Conant – TCAN – The Center for Arts in Natick
Sat. Jan. 26, 2013 - 8:00 pm (Details, bio & links below)
Hear the term "Blues Harp" and most people think "Harmonica" — but I play Blues on a 32-string HARP. Not a big 75-pound concert harp like you see in the back of an orchestra, but an 11-pound carbon-fibre electric harp that I strap on like an electric guitar, and that lights up with LED lights. I use a 'looper' pedal which lets me record quick snips on the fly, right in front of the audience, and then layer them to create a sound as full as a whole band – and I sing.
It turns out a harp actually is a lot like a harmonica. You can bend notes, you can set up Blues scales, and you can add distortion and wail, just like with a guitar. And in the last few months, touring the world with guitarist Steve Vai, I've added a few more twists, like a wa-wa pedal. You just have to think about it differently.
Most people think "Harp = Classical Music" - but that's like thinking all dogs are poodles. An instrument is like a musical prosthetic, a physical extension of the human body that lets you express yourself in ways you can't with your body alone. The goal is to express your own voice.
And Blues is a huge part of my voice – both what I sing and what I play on my instrument.
Last year when I played my first "Lose Your Blues" show, I realized I've written Blues about everything from being a Sous-Chef, to driving a rental car in Scotland. I've written Blues about the dogs of Somerville and about the charms of watermelons, Debussy-inspired Blues, a Blues about Elvis's first days in Heaven and about love gone so bad it's rancid.
Blues is one of the most fun, most expressive and most American forms of music. And you just don't hear it played on the harp that often. But I always dreamed of a harp I could strap on and play like an electric guitar, and thanks to the visionary harp company, CAMAC, that's now possible. They spent 15 years developing what's now known as the world's top electric harp. And then they named it after me, the "DHC Light," one of the greatest honors of my life.
I always play Blues at every show I do, whether it's with a symphony orchestra or on a solo stage – but no matter how much I play, people ask for more. So this January 26th at "The Center for Arts in Natick" (TCAN), I'm doing a "Blues Harp" show — a show almost entirely of Blues, because I know that what people need to hear in the cold dark days of New England January — is the Blues. And that's what I need to play: Blues Harp … with a twist.
You can get an idea of what I do on the video at my website: http://www.HipHarp.com.

Lesson 23
A limerick is a five-line poem written with one couplet and one triplet. If a couplet is a two-line rhymed poem, then a triplet would be a three-line rhymed poem. The rhyme pattern is a a b b a with lines 1, 2 and 5 containing 3 beats and rhyming, and lines 3 and 4 having two beats and rhyming. Some people say that the limerick was invented by soldiers returning from France to the Irish town of Limerick in the 1700's.
Limericks are meant to be funny. They often contain hyperbole, onomatopoeia, idioms, puns, and other figurative devices. The last line of a good limerick contains the PUNCH LINE or "heart of the joke." As you work with limericks, remember to have pun, I mean FUN! Say the following limericks out loud and clap to the rhythm.
A flea and a fly in a flue
Were caught, so what could they do?
Said the fly, "Let us flee."
"Let us fly," said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
You will soon hear the distinctive beat pattern of all limericks. The rhythm is just as important in a limerick as the rhyme. Try completing this limerick.
There once was a pauper named Meg
Who accidentally broke her _______.
She slipped on the ______.
Not once, but thrice
Take no pity on her, I __________.
Lyrical Lesson: Limericks
1. Practice the rhythm of limericks by clapping you hands or snapping your fingers.
2. Think of some funny names, places, or situations.
3. Using the a a b b a 5-line form, write an original limerick.
4. How would you illustrate the page if your poem was published in a book
of limericks? What types of art would you use?

The Orange Leader
Orange County Commissioners Court violated the law Monday when they passed the motion to eliminate the District Court Judges and District Attorney's $15,000 supplemental pay compensation from the county.
"It is a daisy chain law," Assistant County Attorney Douglas E. Manning said Friday during a Special Call Meeting. "You cannot reduce the county salary because the state change compensation."
Commissioner Pct. 4 Jody Crump said he was in error because he was unaware that all the salaries for the District Judges, County Court at Law Judges and the District Attorneys were all tied together.
Manning said that due to the action being a violation of the law, it had to be placed on the agenda to have affirmative action to 'unwind the action'.
The court reinstated the $15,000 supplement for the District Attorney and the District Judges which will lead to an increase for the County Court at Law salaries. Stature that requires the County Court at Law Judges receive pay compensation equal to $1,000 below the District Judges.
The County Court at Law Judges salaries will need to be republished due to increasing.
Lieutenant Tom Ray of the Orange County Sheriff's Office asked the court to reconsider the sheriff's salary at this time.
"Each year you don't address it," Ray said. "It will grow. Admit we made a mistake with the sheriff, address it and put it to bed."
The court was unable to discuss the sheriff's salary as the item was not on the agenda. The Texas Open Meeting Act does not allow the court to discuss items not on the agenda.

The 1961 flute concerto by American composer Lowell Liebermann is on this weekend's Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra concert. The soloist is Christine Bailey Davis, the orchestra's principal flutist, pictured at left.
This is a lovely piece and it has never before been performed by the BPO, at least not on the Classics Series. (I have scoured the orchestra's handy archives.)
When a piece is new to you it is nice to hear it a few times before heading to the concert. Here is the first movement. The opening theme especially reminds me Erich Wolfgang Korngold, the great film composer who also wrote the captivating violin concerto we have heard at Kleinhans Music Hall several times.
Here is the Adagio. One commenter writes: "It's so peaceful. I feel like I'm lying on a grassy field one sunny spring afternoon, with the wind blowing gently by." That is one way of saying it.
And the last movement. This thing flies! It sounds like very demanding music. I see that one flutist writes, "This is my goal concerto." Lots of luck!
This should be a good concert this weekend. There are a lot of fireworks -- not only this concerto, but Tchaikovsky's ever-popular Fifth Symphony. I heard the BPO playing it at Artpark, I think it was in summer 2009, and I remember marveling how that symphony can still be a thrill, no matter how many times you hear it.
According to the BPO Archives, which I cannot stay away from, Tchaikovsky's Fifth has been performed 16 times by the BPO. They do not list the Artpark performance, I am guessing because it was not, strictly speaking, the Classics series.
So, a tried-and-true treat, and a BPO premiere. I think it is going to be fun.
The concert takes place Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. For info, call 885-5000.

Let's Go Fishing!
|Select a Reel | Select a Fish
|Remember, there are many types of bait available and most all of them can be successful when proplerly presented. Factors such as water clarity and the type of fish targeted need to be considered when selecting th eright bait. Artificial baits are very popular because of their durability, an dlive baits will always be tempting to fish!
|Spinnerbaits: One of the most versatile of all artificial lures, these baits can be fished shallow or deep. Spinnerbaits are ideal for a wide variety of species of fish and are available in a wide range of sizes, color combinations and blade styles. The style and shape of the blade creates different actions and causes turbulance during the retrieve.
|Soft Plastics: There are numerous types of soft plastic baits out there from worms to lizards to crayfish. Each can be very successful under a variety of conditions. The color selection is usually based on the clarity of the water. As a general rule, lighter colors work better in clearer water, darker colors for murky water. These baits are usually weighted and slowly fished on the bottom.
|Crankbaits: Crankbaits are great lures for coaxing fish from their comfort zones. Crankbaits are designed to retrieve at a particular depth based upon the shape of the forward lip. They "wobble" when retrieved to mimmick the swimming action of baitfish, and some even rattle to provide even more attention-getting action.
|Earthworms (Nightcrawlers): Historically, no other bait has been as successful as the good-ol' standby earthworm. Wrap a hook with a worm, dangle it from a bobber, and you've provided an easy, tasty meal for just about any fish. And, they're cheap and easy to come by.
|Topwater: Topwater baits like "stick baits" and "poppers" are generally retrieved with a "twitch" of the rod tip. This twitching action causes the lure to mimmick that of an injured baitfish. It takes some practice to get a jerkbait to create the ideal action for a strike, but fish know injured baitfish are an easy meal.
|Minnows and Shad: Minnows and shad are potent baits because these are natural food for most freshwater fish. They are usually fished live on a hook and can be used with or without a bobber.

Of all the really young guns- Osmond, Sotnikova, Tuktamysheva, Lipnitskaia, Li, and Gold, who would place the highest of the group if they all had a clean competition.
Of all the really young guns- Osmond, Sotnikova, Tuktamysheva, Lipnitskaia, Li, and Gold, who would place the highest of the group if they all had a clean competition.
I think Osmond would win out in that case. She is the most artistic of all the girls, and in jumps only Gold at her best is stronger.
I think Sotnikova will because she has nice skating skills and presentation. She has the content too with seven triples (although she doesn't have a true lutz and her flip looks ugly too, well most flutzers have awful flips anyway) However because of her unstable jump technique her chances of skating clean is extremely low, and many find her recent programs very unappealing.
I dont like Sotnikova's skating. Her programs are often awful and artisticaly blah, and her jumps are fugly and not that strong. Even if she skated clean she wouldnt impress me nearly as much as Osmond or others on a good day.
If they all had a clean competition,
Of course, I think it would be Gracie Gold. The second is Sotnikova.
The other thing about Osmonds skating is she has amazing transitions. She does real steps and moves going into every jump and spin. That should both greatly increase her PCS and her GOE to help her TES too, although it seems the judges dont reward her for it as they should.
I thought Kaetlyn was getting quite good PCS for a debutant, and it's not as if transitions and spunk were absolutly everything about PCS.
Gracie beating Kaetlyn in PCS at the WTT (and I'm not sure if it happened elsewhere too) was a bad, bad joke though.
Anyway, I doubt Kaetlyn would come out ahead. She's missing the 3Lo, sans "just" 6 triples, while all the others are doing 7.
From this group, I think it would come down to Gracie vs. Adelina. Gracie has the better jumps, though I don't agree at all that Adelinas jumps are fugly - her technique is shaky on the Lutz and Flip, but her jumps are huge and powerful. And when she lands them right, she has gorgeous extention on the landing. Both girls are having the same layout, and while Adelina flutzes, Gracie lips. So the main plus Gracie can make are the +GOE.
On the other hand I'd say Adelina leads in pretty much everything else - easily better in steps, about average in spins (though I think Adelinas's are a little better too), and Adelina has better skating skills, carriage and body lines (by far). Adelina "skates big", while Gracie doesn't (for now). And the choreos were equally... blah.
So I think it would be close... I gave the notch to Adelina, simply because at this points Gracie leads with so many votes
For Liza, I really hope Mishin works on her skating skills with her. Her presentation and interpretation are fine, and her choreography isn't that bad either. But her PCS are always so low, it's really holding her back.
And I'm suprised Zijun is the only one without any votes. I would have put her before Kaetlyn and Liza, actually.
1. Sotnikova
2. Gold
3. Tuktamisheva
4. Osmond
5. Li
6. Lipnitskaia

Give her another year or 2 and I think Zijun Li will dominate all of them!
But for now, considering the programs of the 2012-2013 it would be
1. Adelina
2. Gold
3. Tuk
but they would all be very close
I think Gold would come out on top simply because she has the most impressive jumps as of now and her speed is impressive - basically all the things that make judges go nuts and they don't seem to give a damn about choreography or presentation if you've got jumps like Gracie's. Sotnikova's jumps while big are not technically clean or pleasant to look at.

Sotnikova might have unstable technique on her jumps but she has beautiful flow across the ice, good speed, clean edges, gorgeous lines, lovely posture, and (whether you like her programs or not) she delivers her choreography with expression and energy. She has cleaner and more mature presentation than any of the other ladies on the list...
I just think Li is a better mixture, if you want to put it like that. She has 7 triples and a 3F-3T, plus amazing spins. That's why I think she'd beat Kaetlyn in TES. And on the other side, I think she'd beat Liza in PCS - and in that case, TES is not just jumps either, and their BV is really close. I'm not even sure Liza would win the TES by that much.Originally Posted by shine
Besides that, I know people like to praise Kaetlyns transitions - but for me, there was a huge difference between her SP and LP. Her SP was completly kickass, but the LP wasn't as impressive to me. So I think Kaetlyn should easily win the PCS in the SP, but the LP is a different game.
Sadly, who wins depends on where the competition is held.
All this talk about Osmond doing only 7 triples and not doing a triple loop is silly. Yu Na Kim only does 6 triples and doesnt do a triple loop, and does that mean she would lose to Sotnikova, Li, Gold, if they skated clean and she skated clean too, LOL!
I think Sotnikova would win if they were all clean, or maybe Osmond but Sotnikova skates maybe slightly more maturely right now. Gold is most likely to go clean, IMO.
You don't think Osmond's LP has good transitions?
Last edited by shine; 05-01-2013 at 04:20 PM.
Sokolova is the ultimate definition of an overrated skater. The judges would not place her 1st if everyone skated cleanly. Europeans shows her scoring cap is about 130 in the LP even clean (what she would have gotten with her triple flip) and even that probably only a Euro friendly event like Europeans. Gold, Osmond, Tuktams, can all go above 130 if they are clean.
Zijun flutzes, but so does Kaetlyn. If the flutz is a little less or more severe doesn't really do much to the scores right now (though I agree Kaetlyn is more likely to fix it in the seasons to come).Originally Posted by shine
GOE is... well, not always what they're supposed to be. Zijuns jumps at worlds garnered +1's and +2's, and Kaetlyn isn't exactly getting a lot of +3's - it's another thing if you agree with it, but the judges tend to give out +1's just the moment a jump is landed, if it had the quality or not. It's similar to the Gracie vs. Adelina thing - if people think Adelinas jumps are pleasant to look at or not, she's getting up to +2's on them quite regulary if she lands them well.
And I'm not disliking Kaetlyns LP, it's a nice program and still the best of the LPs this young girls had this season, but it's not that far ahead. Her SP is more complex, more intricate and I thought she regulary selled it better than her LP (not counting the mistakes, I mean).
Yeah, because any of those young girls, including Osmond, had Yunas absolutly amazing overall skating to make up for the missing triple... but it was clear someone would make that commentOriginally Posted by chanunderrated
You are missing the point. 6 triples vs 7 is not some big or any disadvantage under COP. Even leaving a type of triple out means nothing. Under 6.0 it would be huge, but this isnt 6.0 anymore. Many 6 triple programs without a triple (unless it is the lutz) have a higher base value than many 7 triple programs. Kim does not need to "make up" the points lost by an extra triple on others, even though she could. She would easily gain more points on jumps alone than all these ladies even clean, except maybe Gold. She isnt disadvantaged by it anyway. I am not saying Osmond is as good as Kim in jumping or overall skating yet, but having 6 triples and missing a triple doesnt mean you lack difficulty under COP, especialy when you can do a 3-3 which Osmond like these others can.

"Building the capacity of our participating communities of Faith is a critical strategy to develop solid foundation to maintain the important and life saving services provided to the city's diverse and fast growing Latino/Hispanic communities" stated Daniel Leyva, director of the Latino Religious Leadership Project of the Latino Commission on AIDS.
Leyva, told OMHRC's Capacity Building Specialist Carlos E. Soles, "All the participants agree that the training was necessary, the content appropriate and your style impeccable. The material presented will be of great help not only for those looking for new funding to sustain different health initiatives in their communities of faith, but also for those trying to strengthen their existing general structure."
This training was the first of its kind developed and facilitated entirely in Spanish.
The one-day training used the new OMHRC developed curriculum "Strategies to Write Proposals for Funding, Focused on Vision, Design and Organizational Capacity" translated into Spanish. The interactive training held at the "Trias" Training Center of the Latino Commission on AIDS provided 30 participants from more than 20 communities of faith with a better understanding of how to identify potential funding, how to access organizational capacity, and how to write more effective program plans and proposals.
This training proved particularly useful for communities of faith that in these difficult economic times continue providing crucial social services (food pantries, clothing banks, and financial support), HIV testing and health promotion for many of New York's most needy. Many immigrant community members struggle to find their identities when they arrive in New York City and many feel isolated and disconnected from their families and who they are. These challenges and economic hardship place many at risk for HIV/AIDS and the Latino Commission on AIDS recognizes the vital role that communities of faith play in the daily lives of many Latinos/Hispanics.

The Sooners may have speed, they may have depth and they may have a not-so-difficult road to the national title game. But for many, that doesn't matter. To them, Oklahoma is still Oklahoma, a traditional powerhouse that can't get it done at crunch time.
And with several slip-ups in the Bob Stoops Era, perhaps the Sooners are deserving of their so-so status. But maybe this year is different. Maybe this group sees what lies ahead, and knows it's all up to them to see where they finish. Maybe they'll use a BCS bowl win last season, and a consistent Top 5 rating this year, to fuel them to drive for more this season.
If you listen to Stoops, for one, he certainly believes this year could be different. It may only be October, but these players are not resting on their laurels.
Not at all.
"I feel good that we've made good progress. I feel good that the players aren't overly joyed about anything," Stoops said Saturday night, after Oklahoma drilled Ball State, 62-6. "They know there is more to come and they are anticipating that. They know we need to keep getting better in some areas. I feel they are in a good spot. They are always excited about this game, everybody is. So, they'll work hard this week to get ready for it."
That's a good attitude to have, because Texas is up this week in the Red River Rivalry. And even if they weren't both ranked, even if they weren't both undefeated, it'd be a huge game. But parlay those aspects with national championship implications, and you have the makings of an absolute dandy in Texas.
Las Vegas certainly believes that.
"Traditional game, neutral site, and always a lot of action on it," said Pete Korner of Esportclub, LLC, in Las Vegas. "But when we sat down to look at it, based on a lot of factors, we had to give more credit to Oklahoma."
Korner, whose line consultant group advises multiple Nevada sportsbooks, established the Sooners as 10-point favorites. The Wynn, always the first Vegas book to post college football odds, opened with the Longhorns getting 10.5 points.
"They've been really good, and they're playing like they have more work ahead of them," Korner said. "Texas is OK, but let's face it: This is Oklahoma's game. More on the line for them."
And with that, let's take a look at some of next week's other marquee games. We'll show the Wynn's odds and give you Korner's perspective.
Cal (+20.5) at Oregon
Oregon got bet up almost immediately from 20.5 to 23.5 at the Wynn. The Ducks have scored 181 points in their last three games and allowed just 58.
"We really thought Oregon had the talent to pick things up after a slow start," Korner, who suggested Oregon -21, told Covers.com. "And they're getting there. With this being a marquee game by itself on a Thursday night, this should end up being a blowout."
Boise State (-19.5) at Fresno State
"You have to go high on Boise, especially on a Friday night, when nothing else is going on," Korner, who recommended Broncos -23, said. "When they play in the middle of a Saturday, tucked in with everyone else? Differentstory. But when they can showcase themselves all by themselves in front of the nation, they usually get it done."
Kentucky (+20.5) at South Carolina
"We're not big on Kentucky at all," Korner said. "We're not in love with South Carolina, either, and in the SEC, they'll probably lose some more games this year. But this is a win for them, and they have to roll this team."
Florida at LSU
The Wynn didn't post odds on this game because of the uncertain status of Gators starting QB John Brantley. Korner's group sent out LSU -11 but sportsbooks could go with a bigger spread if Brantley's a no-go.
"There are quarterback issues at Florida, so we kicked it up from the seven number we originally thought about," Korner said. "LSU rolls here, I think, and so we needed to figure double digits on this one. I think it's a fair number."
Air Force (+11) at Notre Dame
Here's another game that drew attention early from sharp bettors. The Wynn moved this number up to 15.5 without much hesitation.
"Notre Dame has such a dynamic offense, it just took them a little while to get going," Korner, who recommended Air Force +12, said. "They're playing well now, and every game is important for them now. We expect them to play well."
Miami (+6) at Virginia Tech
Early bettors like the home favorite here. The Hokies are now 7.5-point chalk against the Hurricanes.
"Miami can win this one straight up, no question," said Korner. "We went with just below a touchdown (6.5), but two or three weeks ago, this would have been in double digits. But Virginia Tech has certainly lost some of their invincibility factor."
Iowa (+2) at Penn State
"Close game with a couple of nondescript Big Ten teams," Korner said. "We had anywhere from a pick up to four. Anything could happen here."
Auburn (+8) at Arkansas
This game opened with the Razorbacks giving 8 points but the line was quickly bet up to 10 in only a few hours.
"Auburn's kind of doing alright, and we didn't think that was going to be the case early on," Korner said. "Home field counts here a lot. But it's the SEC, so it could be close."
Ohio State (+10) at Nebraska
"We're not big on Ohio State, as they haven't shown much. Name recognition is big here for both schools, but that's about it," Korner said. "With these two programs, you would think national title implications, conference title implications, stuff like that.
"That's just not the case. But we like the fact that it's at Nebraska, and even though didn't impress last week, they're playing Ohio State, and there's just not that much there."

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
This game is amazing!
To start, the graphics are incredible. In-game graphics are very smooth and detailed. You can see reflections as you walk past, clothing has wrinkles and moves a bit naturally as you move. Mouth movements are still a little off, but nothing too noticeable.
Then there are the cinema graphics. At first I thought I was watching filmed footage, and then realized its all 3D animation. It's incredible what they can do these days.
The controls are smooth and I haven't found any glitches yet. I love how you can sneak up behind people and either knock them out or kill them.
And the game is a true challenge. Whether you're the sneaky-ninja type or the up-front-killer type this game will keep you constantly engaged in trying to get to the next area. Enemies are both intelligent and good shots. Stay out in the open too long and you will die very very quickly.
Interesting note: if you knock out an enemy, and another enemy finds him, they can be woken up and you'll have to knock them out again, or kill them.
Still playing through so I'll update as I go. But this is an amazing game and I recommend it for everyone

Re: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Agreed. I'm also only a little way through, but I'm loving the cyberpunk atmosphere.
Also, as with the previous games, it seems to be continuing what is a really in-depth look at the ethical and sociological questions that are almost certainly waiting for mankind somewhere down the line. It's all very Ghost in the Shell, so I love it Of course, this being a prequel, I doubt it will approach the 'singularity' event of Invisible War, and may just be focused more on the philosophical implications of human augmentation, but it's still good stuff.
Plus, I knocked out one fella with a tranquilizer gun, then had second thoughts about leaving him lying around to be discovered. So I threw him into some electrified water. Sorted

Re: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
The thing that kind of did it in for me was when I tried to shoot from cover I would not lean out, instead I would stick the gun out making it nearly impossible to aim and I basically quit because I thought cover was so lame....

Re: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Bought this cheap not long after it was released, played it for a few hours... and then picked it up again five days ago.
Loved it. The story was incredibly good - I'm a sucker for cyberpunk, and for human augmentation (big fan of Ghost in the Shell), and I can't get enough of the discussion around the topic - and the choice at the very end had me considering options for about fifteen minutes. Whilst most of the characters didn't make an impression, I was surprised to find that I cared what happened to Faridah Malik, to the point where I didn't break into her office in the Sarif building, and spent over an hour replaying the opening section of the second Hengsha visit until I got the desired outcome.
On top of a wonderful story, I very much enjoyed the gameplay, particularly being able to stealth my way around and pick people off silently.
The only thing that I didn't like was the Illuminati aspect. I understand that it's necessary for Human Revolution to function as a sequel to the original game, but the story would have been just as strong without them.

If anyone has read the tie in novel by James Swallow I recommend Deus Ex the all on ios and android systems. Once you get your head around touch screen controls it actually plays almost exactly like human revolution.

Crusader Men Earn Top-Four Finish at Carthage
Saturday, January 18, 2003The Valparaiso men's team earned a finish in the top half of the standings at the Carthage Division I Invitational on Saturday afternoon with their fourth place finish.
The Crusaders tallied 86 points in Kenosha, Wis., trailing third place Wisconsin-Milwaukee by just seven. Marquette won the meet with 134 points, followed by DePaul with 127 points.
The Brown and Gold got scoring in virtually every facet of the meet on Saturday, something that did not always happen last year.
In the sprints, freshman Scott Hill (Goshen, Ind./Northwood H.S.) turned in a third place finish in the 55m dash with a time of 6.67 seconds. Teammate Raphael Awoseyin (Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria/Greater Tomorrow H.S.) then placed fourth in the 200m dash, crossing the finish line in 23.07 seconds.

The Crusaders distance squad helped the team's cause as well. Aaron Crague (Schererville, Ind./Lake Central H.S.) finished fourth in the 3,000m run as he crossed the line in a time of 8:42.87. Valpo then took third, fourth, and fifth in the 5,000m. Doug Brown (Bluffton, Ohio/Allen East H.S.) crossed the line first for the Brown and Gold with a time of 15:51.64, just 11 seconds behind the leader. Adam Piaskowy (Crete, Ill./Monee H.S.) was less than two seconds behind Brown, and Rick Wenger (Belvidere, Ill./Belvidere H.S.) completed the trio.
The Valpo distance medley relay placed second earning eight more points toward the team total as Matt Blume (Logansport, Ind./Pioneer H.S.), Nate Nunnelly (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso H.S.), Jed Reisetter (Lewiston, Minn./Lewiston-Altura H.S.), and Crague finished the race in 10:45.71, 12 seconds behind DePaul.
On the infield, the Crusader field event athletes had a strong meet as well. Matt Larson (Arlington Heights, Ill./St. Viator H.S.) finished third in the weight throw with a mark of 44'7". Teammate Todd Goodrick (Rochester Hills, Mich./Rochester H.S.) placed sixth in the event with a heave of 42'2".
Goodrick was Valpo's top shot putter on the afternoon, finishing fourth with a throw of 42'8 �". Jeff Swihart (Wakarusa, Ind./Northwood H.S.) also scored for the Brown and Gold with his sixth place finish (40'7�").
In the jumps, Joshua Lee (Yellow Jacket, Colo./Montezuma-Cortez H.S.) finished fifth in the long jump with a leap of 20'5", while Reed Williams (Scottsdale, Ariz./Charparral H.S.) and Brandon Schreve (Plainfield, Ill./Plainfield H.S.) each cleared 11'5 �" in the pole vault to finish fourth and fifth respectively.
The Crusaders will return to the track next Saturday at the Stan Lyons Invitational in Indianapolis. The first event is scheduled to begin at noon CST.

Niagara Gazette — Friday night's thunderstorms left area residents on alert or, even worse, under water. Now the state is beginning the process of lending a hand, financially.
George Haggerty, New York's deputy secretary for financial services, brought his mobile command center to the parking lot of Niagara Falls City Hall Wednesday for the first of two days designed to help any resident address financial concerns from any flooding or other damage caused by the violent rains, winds and lightning during the event.
Day one pulled in more than 650 residents, a count Haggerty said was impressive. There's one more day for those affected to start the process of filing claims, as the center will again be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. today, also at city hall.
"They should bring anything they think is relevant," Haggerty said of those who still wish to file claims. "Everyone's situation is different. Some people are renters, some are homeowners. So they need to bring what they think is relevant. Whether it's an Insurance policy, medical bills, anything they think will help us get a generalized sense of what value they lost."
Though the center was set up by Falls Mayor Paul Dyster, Haggerty said workers were able to also process residents from outside the city's limits. Residents from North Tonawanda, Wheatfield and other towns were processed without question Wednesday.
The same can be expected today as well, he said.
"It was set up by the mayor ... but it has expanded beyond that," he said. "We've helped people from North Tonawanda, some people from Wheatfield. We're not turning people away."
Unable to attend either on-site offer? The city has set up, with the Niagara County's assistance, a flood hotline. For more information, call 286-4300.Contact reporter Timothy Chipp at 282-2311, ext. 2251 or follow on Twitter @timchipp.

Lindsay Lohan Has More Important Things To Do Than Attend Fashion Week
Posted on Tue Feb 16, 2010 02:50 PM PDT
After the report that Lindsay Lohan was banned from certain New York Fashion Week shows because she was deemed a "brand damager" the former Ungaro artistic advisor is hitting back, saying she didn't want to go anyway!
The starlet (who's currently in London) took to Twitter to say: "in response to the wrong Daily News, i'd rather be raising money for those that need it in Haiti @altitude360 then be at fashion week." Then, she tweeted, "ignoring real world issues/reality" and "wake up ny."
In case you haven't heard, Lohan is hosting a post-Brit awards party at Altitude 360 benefiting survivors of the Haiti earthquake. She hardly has time to worry being blacklisted!
Believe her?
