Alright, Memphis, it's time to get this week started with our roundup of happenings you need to know about.
The 2016 Memphis In May International Festival closes out Saturday with a pair of new additions to the monthlong lineup.The Saturday by the river begins with the Great American River Run – a half-marathon and a 5K run with a riverside and Downtown route. There is, of course, a post-race party, which then segues into 901Fest – four stages in Tom Lee Park featuring local music and arts, from Al Kapone and Frayser Boy to the North Mississippi Allstars to Opera Memphis and the New Ballet Ensemble & School.The idea here, and it may be an evolving concept, seems to be local and diverse and not as much of an emphasis on the stages and what happens there at the expense of those who stay after the run and those who come for the music and the arts.To dot the I on that point, 901Fest also includes an air show.
The slogan still resonates: When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.
All the world came to know that was Federal Express. I can remember knowing it was Federal Express.
New Memphis head basketball coach Tubby Smith has announced a series of basketball camps – two-day camps and a team camp – for the summer of 2016.
The first day camp will run from June 6-9, while the second day camp will be from June 13-16. There will be a two-day team camp from June 17-18.
The Tennessee Legislature hoped to end its 2016 session Wednesday at the end of an eventful day that included a failed attempt to override Gov. Bill Haslam's veto of the bill that would have made the Bible the official state book.But into Wednesday evening, the state House was still debating the Hall tax on dividends – specifically further roll backs of it. And the Senate had gone home for the night.So Thursday looks like a good bet for the adjournment for the year and the formal start of the election season for incumbents.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Brittany Hudson was pregnant, addicted to painkillers and afraid of a Tennessee law that calls for the arrest of mothers of drug-dependent babies. She eventually gave birth without medical help, on the side of a road in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Poor timing and questionable numbers: That's how legislators are viewing a business justification plan for outsourcing facilities management across Tennessee.
The Office of Customer Focused Government tells state senators, if all departments opt in, the state could save $35.8 million by the second year of a contract under study for building operations and services – without laying off state workers or cutting pay and benefits.
Let the coaching drumbeat resume after the Tigers Sunday post-season collapse one game past Tulsa.A confession here – I am so sports challenged that I thought UConn was a team from Alaska until I saw it spelled out.In my defense, who associates Huskies with Connecticut?My point is what happens next isn't just about basketball. It's about a change with a good track record of being emotional in the worst way.It's linked to how we want to be known for treating people and what they think of us as a result of that.In those two areas, it's never just business. It's always personal.Josh Pastner's four predecessors were each very different case studies in this regard.It could have been any stop in any city with a basketball court and a one-and-done star he could find and recruit to John Calipari. But he still had to hide under a blanket in the back seat of a car on the way to the airport and lie about it long after everyone knew.Knew about the Kentucky job that is. The mess he left at the university would surface shortly thereafter.Tic Price was two fast seasons and the proof that the Memphis job isn't just about what happens on the court and the attendance at games.Price was clearly excited about coming to Memphis. He clearly understood the importance and heritage of Tigers basketball and valued it. And he wasted no time at all getting lost in the Memphis that is not a part of that all encompassing world.It was the only job Larry Finch wanted and ultimately the job he couldn't continue to have. That after ignoring conventional wisdom as a player and coming from Melrose High to Memphis State, bringing a beloved team with him and then picking Memphis again in the ABA over the Lakers in the NBA.None of that was considered in pushing him out the door and then naming a building after him.Dana Kirk wanted to be the hustler John Calipari was. He was certainly impersonal enough about it and he took the team to an era where a post-season NCAA bid was expected and is still expected to this day.But his impersonality exacted a high cost and he paid most of that cost. Although you could argue the experience for his team that produced some legendary players also made some of them legendary casualties of his emotional distance. It didn't allow him to go elsewhere because he never figured out that he was being underestimated just as much as the team whose needs he ignored was in the national view of college basketball. While Calipari dodged big trouble twice, Kirk wasn't even in Calipari's league when it came to ducking and timing.We are past our inferiority complex. That's what the last NFL drive of the 1990s did for us. But it's not necessarily a bad thing that we see the people chosen to occupy these very public positions as a reflection to the world of who we are.

Phil Coles remembers one job interview in particular as he was hiring for the new United States Cold Storage plant in Covington, Tenn.
The job applicant, who was from Covington, had questions for Coles, the plant's general manager. Was the plant paid for? Or was U.S. Cold renting? The bottom line was job stability in a town and county that has had a rough recession.
The city of Memphis and the Downtown Memphis Commission are negotiating with the owners of two vacant buildings in the 600 block of Union Avenue in an effort to avoid General Sessions Environmental Court declaring the properties a public nuisance.

Tennessee's legislators spent hours this session arguing over guns and whether to pass a law making the Bible the state book of Tennessee.

Retired air traffic controller Sterling King moved to Knoxville when his brother needed him. Five years later, he has fallen in love with the area and everything it has to offer.

Numbers rarely lie, and in Gregg Popovich's case they finally piled up in a way too compelling to ignore.
Five NBA titles spread over 15 years is a dynasty, even – maybe especially – in this era of short attention spans. It's long past time Popovich got the credit he deserves.
NEW YORK (AP) – Microsoft Corp. and four other large American technology companies are using a Manhattan court case to draw a line in the cloud, saying the U.S. government has no right to seize computer data stored outside the country.
Boosting workplace morale may be as easy as leveraging your team's talents outside the office via volunteer efforts.

The owner of Ashlar Hall says he would like to pursue renovation of the Midtown mansion and hopes he can find multiple tenants to fill the rehabilitated building, which would help offset the cost of repairs.
The Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention says it no longer wants to be part of Ashlar Hall's future under terms proposed by the building's current owner.
Joe Thordarson, founder of the fantasy convention, said disagreements over how much Ashlar Hall's current owner, Kenny Medlin, wanted to charge in rent led him to withdraw from the process.
Just so there is no misunderstanding, let me answer this question first:
Do I believe NBA Playoff games are actually fixed?
No, I do not. I don't think that Commissioner Adam Silver now, or David Stern before him, is sitting in the rafters of NBA arenas and pulling strings that make puppets, er, officials, blow whistles when someone deigns to breathe on LeBron James or Kevin Durant.
The ongoing fallout from the backlog of untested rape kits is beginning to develop some boundaries and dividing lines as it moves into federal court and expands outside court to include a backlog of 300 rape kits by the Shelby County Sheriff's Department.
University of Memphis women's basketball coach Melissa McFerrin will hold summer basketball camps for girls in third through ninth grades.
The camps begin with a one-day Elite Camp on June 18 for high school girls entering ninth to 12th grade. The Elite Camp will be held at the Larry Finch Center and University of Memphis Student Recreation and Fitness Center.
The second federal lawsuit since December over the Memphis Police Department's backlog of 12,000 untested rape kits casts a wider net of defendants than the first lawsuit, including the current and former Memphis police directors and the current and former district attorneys general.
Three women allegedly raped by Anthony Alliano during a string of rapes in the Cordova area covering a decade have filed suit in Memphis Federal Court over the delay in testing their rape kits.
It is the second federal lawsuit filed against the city of Memphis since December over the backlog of more than 12,000 untested rape kits police acknowledged in November after initially putting the backlog of rape kits at 2,000 in August.
The first thing Veronica Coleman-Davis wanted to do was take a look at where thousands of untested rape kits had been stored over the last 30 years.
The former U.S. attorney is investigating how the backlog came to be. It's an effort that, until her appointment in February by Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr., had been pointed at clearing the backlog with no answers from any of the players in the criminal justice system about how the backlog happened in the first place.
A turbulent week at the Criminal Justice Center for the Memphis Police Department is the lead-in for a critical week at City Hall in the unfunded pension liability discussion.
Leaders of the Memphis Police Association and other municipal unions will be part of the discussions this week on the size of that unfunded liability and what steps the city should take to put city finances on a more sustainable basis.
Environmental Court Judge Larry Potter, reversing a previous decision, upheld a 2013 transfer of Ashlar Hall from Robert "Prince Mongo" Hodges to an acquaintance who wants to turn the stately but decaying property into a home for military veterans.
Two people that had once considered teaming up to acquire and renovate crumbling Ashlar Hall are going their separate ways.
Joe Thordarson, founder of the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention, and Ty Cobb, founder of the nonprofit Have a Standard Foundation, said this week that they are now pursuing separate plans to gain control of the Midtown mansion.
Environmental Court Judge Larry Potter has invalidated Robert "Prince Mongo" Hodges' November transfer of Ashlar Hall to acquaintance Kenny Medlin, after Medlin did not produce a plan for rehabilitating the property.
The future of Ashlar Hall has become nearly as unpredictable as its eccentric former proprietor, Robert "Prince Mongo" Hodges.
A Monday, Jan. 13, hearing before Environmental Court Judge Larry Potter did little to clear the air surrounding a November transfer of the 1397 Central Ave. property and competing claims over its future.
The facelift of Memphis International Airport has continued throughout 2013 despite peaks and valleys for the airport's passenger business.
The impact of Delta Air Lines' dehubbing and reduced service – including further cuts announced last week – has been offset somewhat by the arrival of Southwest Airlines and the continued strength of the airport's cargo activity.
Memphis International Airport continues to add new customer-friendly amenities this year, including the introduction Thursday of free Wi-Fi service throughout Terminals A, B and C.
During the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority board of commissioners Thursday, Nov. 21, monthly board meeting, officials discussed the ongoing upgrades and renovations occurring at the airport.
A windy, cold morning would not keep civic leaders, elected officials and the Dyersburg community from giving a warm welcome to Dot Foods Inc. and its senior managers on Thursday morning as they broke ground on a new home. Company leaders gathered with the Dyersburg community to place the first shovels in the ground for a $24 million distribution center in Dyersburg Industrial Park next to the Nordyne building off Highway 211. The 166,494-square-foot distribution center is scheduled for completion by September 2014 making it the company's ninth distribution center in the United States.
When you look at the big picture of poverty, homelessness, and under-education in this country, or here in Memphis, it appears rather bleak. However, when you focus on the individual efforts being made to combat those societal ills that are bending the cycle of poverty to the breaking point, from where I sit, the big picture is looking better all the time.
Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority officials remain optimistic about the future of Memphis International Airport, thanks to increased airline competition that is driving down airfares for travelers and businesses.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has appointed senior physician and internationally recognized radiation oncologist Dr. Larry Kun as its new clinical director and executive vice president.
Kun has served as chair of the St. Jude Department of Radiological Sciences and will remain in that position.
Ronnie Williams has joined Del-Nat Tire Corp. as director of finance. Williams, who has a 15-year background in finance and accounting, most recently served as director of finance at Health Choice LLC. In his new role, he will be responsible for finance and accounting functions and will direct operations to meet budget and financial goals.
World-renowned as a logistics and distribution hub, Memphis will further raise its profile this month with events that showcase the city's transportation assets and standing in the global economy.
Executives of Unilever USA announced Thursday, Sept. 19, their Covington plant will expand to add 428 new jobs at what is already the largest employer in Tipton County.
The $108.7 million expansion will add the jobs over a four year period bringing the plant that makes ice cream products to 1,000 employees.
A 3-square-mile Tourism Development Zone would finance a $233 million renovation of the Mid-South Fairgrounds sought by the administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.
The city sent its 88-page application Sept. 13 to Tennessee Finance Commissioner Larry B. Martin. The application seeks state permission to use incremental sales tax revenue estimated at close to $12 million a year starting in 2016 to pay off the bonds to finance a project whose price tag is just below the $250 million FedExForum.
The world's second-busiest cargo airport is about to see another increase in freight capacity, helping bolster a facility that has suffered in recent years from fewer passenger flights.
Atlanta-based United Parcel Service will double in size at Memphis International Airport, according to Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority president and CEO Larry Cox, who announced the news Thursday, Sept. 19, at the monthly board of commissioners meeting.
When state officials gather at The University of Memphis University Center Wednesday, Sept. 4, to talk about workforce training, it won't be with a check in hand to lead the effort.
State Senate Republican Leader Mark Norris of Collierville, who organized the 8:30 a.m. to noon session, wants state labor commissioner Burns Phillips and others from Nashville to listen to details of the training programs local business and higher education leaders have cobbled together over the last three years.
A CHANGED CHARACTER. AND THAT'S NO BULL. Next week, I'm going to a movie about the meanest, baddest linebacker to ever rip a helmet off a quarterback or start and finish a fight in Memphis. I'm going to a movie about a professional baseball player who was kicked out of the sport for the swings he took at players instead of the ball. I'm going to a movie about one of the most feared men in the NFL, and one of the most controversial because of his rabid rage on and off the field. I'm going to a movie about self-destruction, addiction, abuse, and about Jesus.
Now that earnings season has essentially ended, the stock market needs a new muse. The next earnings season begins in early October. In between, analysts will tweak models and revise forecasts, but real data releases overpower estimate releases. In mid-September, the Fed will either reduce bond purchases or buy more time. President Obama will choose between the over-politicized Larry Summers, the over-dovish Janet Yellen or the over-qualified Don Kohn to succeed Ben Bernanke as the next Fed head. We will also soon revisit Washington's favorite debate over the debt ceiling.
There is no reliable way to determine if a losing football program is on the precipice of becoming a winning football program. If there was, we'd all be getting rich betting the games.
But there is something to be said about change starting at the top. Second-year University of Memphis coach Justin Fuente and several players – all members of the team's Leadership Council – met with the media on Wednesday, Aug. 7, the official reporting date; the first of four helmet-and-shorts practices was to begin the next day, and then on Tuesday, Aug. 13, the first practice in full pads.
Just in time for the start of the new school year, The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis has announced a change in executive leadership, as chief financial officer Larry Pennington has been chosen as acting CEO on an interim basis. He replaces Vincent Borello, who resigned as president and CEO to pursue other opportunities.

"Above the Arctic Circle" Top 5 Page for this destination Kiruna by fairy_dust
Kiruna Travel Guide: 174 reviews and 350 photos
While studying in Sundsvall, Sweden as an exchange student for a semester, I and other exchange students in the program decided to take a weekend trip to Kiruna. Kiruna is a small town in northern Sweden, above the Arctic Circle (though we were lucky that it wasn't too cold on the weekend we visited!). It is home of the famous Ice Hotel (though there is an Ice Hotel in Canada too). The Sami people (a tribe of Nomadic people in Scandinavia) also live in that area.
- Pros:The ice hotel, the tours/safaris
- Cons:very cold weather, sleepy town
- In a nutshell:It's small, but worth visiting.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Am�lie !!!!
i've fancied this trip for a long time - so thanks for the info
looks like a cool adventure (no pun intended)!
Always wanted to go to the Ice Hotel. Seems very very cold tho! Greetings from the southern part of Sweden! :)
Nice page! :) Although Kiruna DOES have public transport and is a town, not a little village. Maybe you're confusing it with Jukkasj�rvi where the Ice hotel is? :)
I've read about the Ice Hotel, really unique! I understand there is a new ice hotel property in Milano now.
Do you have an iced pizza with your ice glass (full of ice cold wine ?) !! Cool place !!
Kiruna is much warmer during the summers... =) But on the other hand, the ice hotel is gone then...

What are the treatments for primary ovarian insufficiency?
Currently, there is no proven treatment to restore normal function to a woman's ovaries.1,2 But there are treatments for some of the symptoms of POI, as well as treatments and behaviors to reduce health risks and conditions associated with POI.
It is also important to note that between 5% and 10% of women with POI get pregnant without medical intervention after they are diagnosed with POI. Some research suggests that these women go into what is known as "spontaneous remission" of POI, meaning that the ovaries begin to function normally on their own. When the ovaries are working properly, fertility is restored and the women can get pregnant.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
HRT is the most common treatment for women with POI. It gives the body the estrogen and other hormones that the ovaries are not making. HRT improves sexual health and decreases the risks for cardiovascular disease (including heart attacks, stroke, and high blood pressure) and osteoporosis.17
If a woman with POI begins HRT, she is expected to start having regular periods again. In addition, HRT is expected to reduce other symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, and help maintain bone health.1,13,17,26 HRT will not prevent pregnancy, and evidence suggests it might improve pregnancy rates for women with POI by lowering high levels of luteinizing hormone - which stimulates ovulation - to normal in some women.19
HRT is usually a combination of an estrogen and a progestin. A progestin is a form of progesterone. Sometimes, the combination might also include testosterone, although this approach is controversial.11 HRT comes in several forms: pills, creams, gels, patches that stick onto the skin, an intrauterine device, or a vaginal ring.14 Estradiol is the natural form of human estrogen. The optimal method of providing estradiol to women with POI is by a skin patch or vaginal ring. These methods are linked with a lower risk of potentially fatal blood clots developing. Most women require a dose of 100 micrograms of estradiol per day. It is important to take a progestin along with estradiol to balance out the effect of estrogen on the lining of the womb. Women who do not take a progestin along with estradiol are at increased risk of developing endometrial cancer. The progestin with the best evidence available to support use in women with POI is 10 mg of medroxyprogesterone acetate by mouth per day for the first 12 calendar days of each month.
A health care provider may suggest that a woman with POI take HRT until she is about 50 years old, the age at which menopause usually begins.
After that time, she should talk with her health care provider about stopping the treatment because of risks associated with using this type of therapy in the years after the normal age of menopause.4
Is it safe for women with POI to take HRT?
In general, HRT treatment for women with POI is safe and is associated with only minimal side effects. Women with POI take HRT to replace hormones their bodies would normally be making if they didn't have POI.
The HRT taken by women with POI is different from the hormone therapies taken by women who are going through or have gone through natural menopause, which are often called menopausal or post-menopausal hormone therapy (PMHT).
A large, long-term study - called the Women's Health Initiative - examined the effects of a specific type of PMHT, taken for more than 5 years, by women ages 50 to 79 who had already gone through menopause. This study showed that PMHT was associated with an increased risk of stroke, blood clots, heart disease, heart attacks, and breast cancer in these women.20
These results do not apply to young women with POI who take HRT.4,14 The type and amount of HRT prescribed to women with POI is different from the PMHT taken by older women.4
A woman should talk to her health care provider if she has questions about HRT as a treatment for POI. Also, she should tell her health care provider about any side effects she experiences while taking HRT. There are many different types of HRT. Women should work with their health care providers to find out the best type of treatment.

in one current project, I need pretty much control over the HTML-code, so the content of the page is created in Dreamweaver or just a normal text-editor and then copied into WordPress.
I already deactivated the visual editor for the admin account to prevent code-rewriting and also installed the "Disable wpautop Plugin".
So at the current state, no code changes happen in the editor within WordPress, but the final code that is sent to the browser still gets modified:
As an examle this code:

Headline content text

Is turned into this:

Headline content text

So for some reason, WP writes two closing paragraphs into
the source, what makes no sense in this case.
There's no need for visual editing at this time in this project.
I just need a window for pasting in HTML code and get it sent to the browser without any filtering.
Is there any plugin I could use or a way to remove this filtering by commenting out some php-code?
I found this behaviour in WP 2.3.3, 2.5.1 and also in the beta for WP 2.6.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks in advance for you help!

Absolutely not.
The patient does not have the skills, knowledge of the device's internal hardware/firmware/software design, testing tools, or the time to make sure an update is safe and won't break the device. Only the manufacturer can do that.
Besides, "signed" doesn't necessarily mean the same certificate-based chain-of-trust process that most people are familiar with. It could be much simpler (and usually is for firmware or software on embedded devices).

Whole Foods Market and Fresh City Life present a free screening of The Love of Beer, the 2011 documentary spotlighting women in the beer biz.
From The Love of Beer: "When someone thinks of a brewer, they probably don't picture a petite woman with red pigtails. But with Tonya Cornett's amazing beers and growing collection of medals, things may change. From farm to consumption, women are fighting their way to become some of the most influential people in the craft beer world. Based in the Pacific NW, this documentary follows these inspirational women as they struggle to end stereotypes, handle their rising fame, and raise families in a 21 and over lifestyle.
Sometimes, life finds you. Sometimes, you have to go out and look for it. Join Fresh City Life for a field trip to search for signs of intelligent life at Jefferson County Open School.

HAYSVILLE, Kan. (AP) _ Classrooms at a middle school in central Kansas have reopened after wet asbestos was found in the ceiling.
Haysville Middle School reported damage to its roof from melting ice after a recent winter storm. The school said asbestos plaster above drop ceilings in 12 classrooms became soaked with water.
The school said in a news release that it notified the Kansas Department of Health and Environment on Monday and had taken steps
to contain the rooms and move the students.
The Environmental Protection Agency says asbestos mineral fibers when inhaled can cause significant lung problems.
The school district said air quality tests showed no fibers had been released, and the classrooms reopened Thursday.

Cup of Tea tea cup, tea pot, tea bags, and wax base: 20 x 24 inches 1995My mother and I often sit and have tea. During this time, we talk and share feelings. The cup of tea represents my mother's cup. Written on the tags attached to each tea bag are either events, feelings or statements I heard her voice throughout the process of dealing with breast cancer. The tea bags collect and store her thoughts. They create a daily journal containing her feelings and memories.
Why Not Me! color photographs, 1995 16 x 10 inchesThis February my mother, my very close friend, was diagnosed with breast cancer. This event changed the focus of my art. I was by her side through the entire process: from biopsy, to mastectomy, and through each chemotherapy treatment, I was a support system for her, as well as she was for me.
At each stage, I documented the transformation of my mother's physical body, as well as her feelings and emotions, through color photography and my own personal writing. Much of it may never be shared with anyone; it has been one way of facing cancer directly. Instead of running away from the pain, I dove into it, opening up everything for discussion and analysis as it occurred.
My intense focus on my mother during this time has made me aware of her incredible strength and determination, as well as my own. She and I, together, gave everyday objects new meaning and symbolism. These objects we will never view the same again.

Vt. town-village merger proposal tabledThe Associated Press | October 04,2013BELLOWS FALLS - A plan to merge the Vermont village of Bellows Falls with the town of Rockingham in 2014 has hit a delay.
The proposal would eliminate the Bellows Falls Village Corporation and the Board of Trustees, which would be turned over to the Rockingham Select Board.
Village services, such as police and fire departments, would continue to be supported by village residents through separate fees or taxes.
The Eagle Times reported that some committee members said the plan doesn't include any details on the financial impact of the merge. It also doesn't specify any benefits for the town or village.
Some Bellows Falls trustees felt the plan lacked enough information to bring it to a public hearing.
The proposal has been tabled for now.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

The professors I had were extremely chill. I would go again and hire students from here.
This school is crowded. Also, the campus looks very old.
small campus
too much money
A great school environment with great professors and great academics. Small class sizes really help grow learning.
The price is really high There is a very high amount of commuters that kills some of the school night life.
Greek Life
Library parking!
The school offers many opportunities if your students engage in it.
Housing there isn't enough only freshman and transfers get housing, after that if your not a good student housing is hard to get on campus. If that's the case you better be able to afford rent...

Ms. Ava Devine in particular delivers two smoking hot performances, the first one being the pre-movie teaser with Pussyman himself. Ava takes control of the scene and forces him to tongue bathe her pussy and ass while she sits on his face and graciously helps the older man regulate his breathing. What a sweet, caring girl!

That is a lot of room for one person
The housing issue seems to be solved as I have found a kick ass apartment. Hardwood floors, nice looking, washer and dryer hookup, off street parking, good location, great price… but there is one problem it has three bedrooms.
Now let me remind you I just moved cross country for grad school with my laptop, clothes, and golf clubs. I kind of have a lot of room to fill. Conventional wisdom tells me that I should make one room an office and another room an extra bedroom. But honestly, who wants to do that?
So I decided to draft up a list of options for my room. Just so you know I am totally open to suggestions.
Sexual Dungeon- What says house warming party more than a torture rack and riding crop? I don't know if I could pull of a sex dungeon though, I'm more of a plush room with mirrors on the ceiling type of guy.
A hydroponic farm- You know so I can grow tomatoes and sell them at "street value".
A shrine to Bea Arthur- It won't creep any potential girlfriends out… I am sure of it.
My time out room- A child's chair in the middle of the room with nothing else in it… For when I have been bad.
Game room- Twister mats on the floor, a table set up with Risk on it, and a trash bag of monopoly money to make it rain.
A reading room- Just so I can say, "I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany."
The official Elizabeth Kucinich library- I am still trying to figure out how Dennis Kucinich could have such a hot wife?
A "workout" room- I want a medicine ball… sue me.
Do you have any ideas on what I should do with the room?

Body Central ( BODY) is a specialty retailer of young women's apparel and accessories operating retail stores in the South, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the U.S. This stock is trading up 10.3% at $10.11 in recent trading.

This move has also pushed BODY above some near-term overhead resistance at $9.34. Traders should watch for BODY to trigger its next major breakout trade. That trade will hit once BODY clears some near-term overhead resistance levels at $10.86 to $11.33 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in BODY as long as it's trending above $9.34, and then once it sustains a move or close above $10.86 to $11.33 with volume that's near or above 458,344 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then BODY will have a great chance of re-filling some or its entire gap down zone from July that started around $16. Prev 2 of 9 Next

My first steps into training and coaching..

Re: My first steps into training and coaching..
[quote=BoxinScienceUSA;14452070]whoa! uneducated is kind of a strong assumption. granted my education does mostly come from the early 90's when I started coaching, but "uneducated", wow, lol.
here's what I do know is, even though there's been tremendous advances to the athletic sciences, the foundational things have not changed over the course of mans' existence. The elbow joint still only moves two ways, and gravity is still the primary force against the body. Newton's laws and biomechanical principles (hips low with wide base for stability, use of levers & forces, etc) are still just as applicable as they have been since the beginning of (human) time. we just didn't know it until some "discovered" them.
And my "uneducated" self really disaggrees with this statement, "Learning is best achieved when practice is random and varied, that's a fact of motor learning". Variety is definitely a factor but not the foundation of "motor learning". Again, it's been a while since i've been in school but i'm pretty sure that kids are still learning their math times tables and musical scales the same way and not from "random". having them go random from the beginning would be like re-inventing the wheel every time. in the mid seventies two guys (maybe scientists, I don't remember) came up with the seven stages of athletic development: perceive (what, where, why, how, etc of the skill), patterns, refining, adapting THEN the athlete could come up with how to improvise, invent and compose. This is how I've been teaching boxing on and off for around 15 years, is by using all the info I just mentioned. I'm pretty satisfied with my results.
you may have some really good knowledge, but it's unfortunate you don't share it in a more positive way (you have a gift, and instead of sharing it you tease people with it). sad really.
And, FYI, almost everything can be taught from the jab. pressure, boxing, circles, angles, off the ropes, blocking, parrying, feinting, headmovement, body shots, (and the list could go on) can be taught with ONLY using jabs. all the movement/positioning needed to execute combinations can be worked on with jabs. the only thing the jab is used for, in any of the drills for any of the strategies I just mentioned, is for feedback on range and accuracy.
GREYNOTESOOLD, brings up a really good point about teaching punches first. from my experience I have found it is key to teach skills stationary then add movement. slightly different from GNSO, i teach feet and hands separately in their first day class, then add them together with a move-stop-throw concept so they are NOT in motion and throwing at the same time. they can focus on their foot rules during movement then their hand rules while punching. like basketball has dribbling, shooting and passing, boxing has hands, head and feet. I think it's important to introduce all three elements (in a very simplified way) as early as possible.
and back to the original post from SLIPnCOUNTER, it sounds like you're at a good place to learn. I know personally, I learn more when I listen. I suggest you ask questions and listen to the answers. And be open to learning from all angles. I've learned some good stuff from some really good coaches over the years but I've learned far more from bad coaches doing the wrong thing and me making note so I don't do what they did, or make sure I do the opposite.
and my request is that you post and keep us updated on your progress. I know I really enjoy hearing about positive new coaches coming into their own.
have fun with it.[/quote
Thank you for standing up, this needed to be said. I believe like Bruce Lee, He incorporated different martial arts and even boxing into developing his own style. Now with the internet and youtube you can see many styles and techniques, cut n paste the ones that work for you and your fighters, like the man said "have fun with it."

text: Posted August 23, 2014 "Is this a regular season game?" I asked Kelli Bartik mid way through the first quarter. "Sure feels like it" she replied. It wasn't just my imagination. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I always thought Mixon was terrible until I heard her rumblin', bumblin' and stumblin' through sentences..... and she looks horrible on TV. What is it with the bargain basement broadcast teams the Panthers hire? "After the game, New England Coach Bill Belichick denied game planning for this game. ''There's no game plan,'' Belichick said. ''We can't game plan for 90 guys. We can barely get it right when we have 46. That's just not what this game is.'' Is that why NFL Network showed a piece of the Head Coach & QB meeting that took place early in the week to install the game plan? 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

November 3, 2014, by Barry F - Jersey, UK - Channel Islands
Wore the for Halloween party, my hand size is 9.5, found the fingers OK, thumbs needed to form a small nick in the latex to give a bit of movement as I felt they were tight. The effect however was amazing and worth the effort. Good product, Velcro bit fiddly, was expecting a glove but as it turned out you can hold a glass.
October 22, 2013, by Rhydian D - West Glamorgan, UK - United Kingdom
Was expecting them to be gloves with skeleton hands on them but they are actually HUGE rubber skeleton hands...Looks really realistic and a great product. Quite difficult to get both on on your own but they are a great buy

Stolon internode lengths were measured on plants of the clonal herbRanunculus repens growing in a hay meadow which was subject to disturbance by mole (Talpa europaea) activity. Within the site three habitat types were recognized: closed grassland, the open ground of fresh molehills and the grass-molehill boundary. The lengths of stolon internodes ofR. repens differed significantly in each of the three habitats. The shortest internodes occurred on stolons on the open molchills. The longest occurred in the closed grassland habitat. The type of habitat in which parent ramets were rooted did not significantly influence the length of internodes on their daughter stolons. The length of a stolon internode was determined by its immediate surrounding habitat type. Consecutive internode lengths on a given stolon showed considerable plasticity, shortening significantly as stolons spread onto molehills from surrounding habitats, and increasing significantly as stolons advanced from a molehill into the surrounding closed grassland habitat. These results are consistent with the proposition that under favorable conditions (on the molehills, where resources are expected to be more abundant, and competition absent) internode lengths shorten and the plant forages intensively, whereas under conditions of low resource availability (in the closed grassland, where competition occurs) internode lengths increase, allowingR. repens to forage extensively. Such morphological plasticity may promote more efficient exploitation of resource-rich sites and more rapid vacation of resource-poor sites.

Former Austalian Idol Shannon Noll still loves performing in lead up to Acacia Ridge show
- From: Quest Newspapers
- February 17, 2013
IT MAY be a decade since Shannon Noll first graced us with his presence on Australian Idol but he still loves performing just as much as he did back then.
The down-to-earth 37-year-old said he was ''still having heaps of fun'' touring around the country, particularly with his new show.
Noll said his latest In My Youth Tour showcased the goldenera of Australian music.
''I'm re-living stuff I grew up on,'' Noll said.
''Stuff like Noiseworks, Choirboys, INXS, Cold Chisel and Dragon - songs I grew up with in the `80s.''
Noll said he was also now looking at working on an album with the same concept.
''It would be good to get an album out in the middle of the year,'' he said.
Noll said the most difficult part of touring was missing his kids.
''That's the hardest thing; missing footy games and things they do on the weekend,'' he said.
By the time he was looking for a break from touring, Noll said that was when he was usually ready to hit the studio or do a bit of writing here and there.
He said to relax he loved taking to his motorbike out on his ten acres at Condobolin.
Shannon performs at the Acacia Ridge Hotel on February 21. Tickets oztix.com.au or phone 32751444

EXCL. PREVIEW: "Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps" #1 Enforces 'Sinestro's Law'
Comic Books
This week, let us take a look at the top five comic book characters to be known as "Sandman." Let's begin!
5. Daniel
Daniel, son of Morpheus, takes the bottom spot on the list mainly because he hasn't, well, DONE much.
After Morpheus died at the end of the Sandman series, Daniel has pretty much done nothing. He's only made, what, a half dozen comic appearances in the last decade?
So the bottom spot is Daniel, but maybe he can move up in the future!
4. Garrett Sanford
This short-lived Kirby/Simon creation had a pretty cool gimmick, being the guardian of the Dream Dimension.
Sadly, though, a cool gimmick was not enough to make this book a hit. Garrett has not appeared that often in comics.
3. Wesley Dodds
Wesley was the FIRST comic book character known as Sandman, introduced way back in 1939. He has the sort of unassuming coolness which allowed him to be a popular hero decades after he was first introduced, finding a new audience in the pages of Sandman Mystery Theatre.
2. Morpheus
Morpheus was the star of Neil Gaiman's excellent Sandman series, so as a result, he automatically gets a lot of credit. However, for the most part, Morpheus was a bit whiney for me.
That's why the #1 pick is an upset!!
1. William Baker
Look how awesome Sandman is! He can turn his body into SAND! He was also one of the first supervillains to reform after being a supervillain for over a decade!
Also, how could a member of Silver Sable's Wild Pack be anywhere BUT #1?
So, there's my picks. Feel free to express agreement or disagreement!
Time for me to be a nerd…
Daniel was Morpheus' successor, but not his son.
He was a Sandmans and an Infinite Inc members son though.
While Daniel might physically be the offspring of Hector and Lyta, he was born in the Dreaming, and I think Morpheus considered Daniel "his."
But yes, point duly noted, Funky!
I believe FGJ is right…
Also, I'm surprised the new Sandman in JSA (who can turn into sand) didsn't knock out Daniel or that Kirby Sandman (who I've never heard of – has he done even less than Daniel, or has he just not been around for a long time?).
I think Daniel hasn't been used much out of respect to Gaiman and his creations. The only time I remember him appearing outside the Sandman book was in that JLA 2-parter pictured above.
The JSA hero is just called Sand.
Apparently, Daniel also appeared during a fairly recent issue of JSA. Which is…scary to think about.
"Apparently, Daniel also appeared during a fairly recent issue of JSA. Which is…scary to think about."
Tell me about it. I did not give them permission to use my likeness!
Does anybody know if the America song 'Sandman' has ever been referenced in a comic featuring any of these guys? It's got some nice eerie lyrics.
"Apparently, Daniel also appeared during a fairly recent issue of JSA. Which is…scary to think about."
A one panel semi-visable appearence during the death sequence of Dr. Fate and Fury. The latter calls out to him saying she accepts some sort of deal.
This was following a 2 part story were the Kirby Sandman (number 4) was retconned into being the dreamworld persona of JSA member Sand.
Brian:"While Daniel might physically be the offspring of Hector and Lyta, he was born in the Dreaming, and I think Morpheus considered Daniel "his.â€
But yes, point duly noted, Funky!"
Just to run it into the ground (and it's one of the few books I reckon I can out nerd you on)he considered
Daniel 'his', in the sense that Cain and Abel, The Corinthian and every other part of the dreaming was 'his'.
Daniel was special because he was a human born in the dreaming, but he was still of the dreaming…
So born of dream, but not Dream's son.
Your #1 choice … who can be stopped by spraying water on him. "Where's your god now, huh?! You're nothing but sludgy sandy mud now!"
I think, perhaps, you should have split it into catergories – costume, abilities, achievements, etc.
For example, Wesley has by far the coolest costume while William has the worst.
Bah. A list of the top 5 characters known as "Sandman" that doesn't include Sleepwalker – a.k.a. "Sandman done right?" Bah, I say, bah.
And, sorry, but Wagner and Davis's take on Wesley Dodds puts him at number one for me – despite the coolness that is the Lee/Ditko Sandman. And the William Baker Sandman doesn't have a lousy costume, Matt – his costume is one of the few that looks good no matter who draws it AND never looks dated or silly. Nice and simple – a classic design.
I actually found Marvel's Sandman the most interesting durring that period where he was trying to be a good guy. Ever since Byrne/Mackie decided to return him back to his villainous roots he's essentially been a one-note character
Still he's got the coolest power set of Marvel's rogues.
Wesley Dodds for me–especially because of Sandman Mystery Theatre–but also All Star Squadron and the old reprints I have.
Baker a close 2nd though–the others–I never cared for.
Hector Hall (aka Dr. Fate, son of Hawkman) became Sandman back in Infinity, Inc., after he "died" the first time. That was not something introduced in JSA.
Dodds should've been #1 for the visual alone, man.
Time to be a complete nerd.
I loved the Simon/Kirby Sandman as well. It was a cool concept that was never fully explored.
That particular version of the character was used by Roy Thomas in a Wonder Woman storyline where he was essentially stalking the Amazing Amazon in her dreams because he was "in love." Nice. Thanks a lot, Roy.
He next appeared (sort of) in Infinity Inc., where the presumed dead Hector Hall revealed himself as the Sandman's inheritor.
The Hector Hall Sandman then appeared in the Gaiman Sandman, where Morpheus revealed that Hector was merely a pawn of two protoplasmic beings. (Forgot their names. They were suppposed to be sidekicks of the Kirby Sandman.)
Finally, *whew," Sand was manipulated by those very same protoplasmic guys to become the "new" Sandman.
Simple. Right?
I'll have to put Wesley Dodds at #1 as well. There's just something so effortlessly iconic about the PI-with-vintage-gas-mask look, at once displaying a kind of fragile mortality, invoking a Chandleresque ethical dimension, and lends him a vaguely inhuman air by concealing his face behind a second and distorted "face."
On another note, barring that green-n-white Kirby costume he had for a while in the 60s and 70s, Marvel's Sandman doesn't really wear a costume. He just wears khakis, loafers, and a spectacularly ugly striped shirt. (In point of fact, a small but significant number of the early Marvel villains didn't start out with costumes, at least not in the usual sense.)
Also, perhaps we should not that Jack Kirby was involved in redesigning andcostuming two of the Sandmen on the list, and created yet a third.
Brute and Glob were Hector's sidekicks, Fortress Keeper. Where one comic book geek falters, another shall fill the breach!
Thanks Fortress Keeper (and Greg), bits of that story now make sense to me that hadn't before, not having read Inifinity Inc.
And for me, it's got to Morpheus. I care nothing for latter-day Gaiman-bashers. I adore that series.
There are those dim enough to be Gaiman-bashers? What is this world coming to?
Omar: Baker's shirt is supposed to be ugly, though – it's his prison uniform, which certainly shouldn't look fashionable. You want your inmates wearing something that won't allow them to blend in with a crowd, right? Well no one in their right mind would willingly wear a green shirt with horizontal black stripes…
u r an idiot. the sandman moron in spiderman is nothing compared to morpheus. sandman is a normal comic villian with the action bullshit story. morpheus is an epic, a bedtime story, a tagedy, something comparable to shakespeare
I loves me some "tagedy"
Choosing the crappy marvel Sandman over Morpheus.
WHAT THE FUCK man.
The Garrett Samford one has had a lot more than a few appearances, and his legacy was felt in many books up to and including JSA. And his sidekicks were also in Morpheus Sandman
Sandman Mystery Theatre rocked!
Daniel and Morpheus I believe are technically one of the same being because of the nature of an endless which is hard to explain, but when they were having a waking for Morpheus, Daniel said they were having his waking and he wasn't dead.
I really appreciate everybody's passionate take on this subject(and respect all opinions). NOBODY comes close to Gaiman's literary Genious. His account of Morpheus is epic!!????

Sully Erna of Godsmack Stops Playing at Concert to Berate Security [NSFW VIDEO]
Did security use too much force to get a fan off the stage?
Did security use too much force to get a fan off the stage?
Rock's biggest bands are gathering to tear down Las Vegas this September, and we want you to be a part of it!
We were fortunate enough to have Godsmack's Robbie Merrill call in and he was ready for a good time! If you've ever heard the RockShow, we refuse to take any of this stuff seriously. Heathen even started the interview singing the "Wes is a butthole" song. This was something that Robbie quickly picked up on. More after the break.
The secret is out. The three remaining covers on the Godsmack "Live and Inspired" c.d. have been revealed. The band will add covers from the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Metallica to their repertoire along with the previously released Joe Walsh and Zeppelin covers. More after the jump.
Godsmack, Staind and Halestorm give you a peek behind (and in front of) the curtain with a new video diary documenting the kickoff of the Mass Chaos tour.
Godsmack divulge first cover song on their upcoming 'Live & Inspired' disc. Click through and give it a listen.
Is it as good as Metallica's version?
I know its rare that any of us have an hour an a half to just screw around during work. But this is one of those times that you could watch this in little pieces all day long and get zero work done while still looking like you were doing something
As Godsmack gear up to spend the next few months out on the road with their local New England brothers in Staind on their co-headlining Mass Chaos tour (with Halestorm providing support), Godsmack frontman Sully Erna recently shared some details on the band's upcoming live album.
Shortly before the release of his 'Avalon Live' box set, Godsmack frontman Sully Erna will take his solo act on the road for a series of east coast shows starting this March.
