Samsung goes green with the UNB6000 series of LED-backlight LCDs
Last year Philips won our best of CES award with the Eco TV, and in 2009 other companies are following suit with their own green TVs. The Samsung UNB6000 series of Samsung LCDs is "eco-friendly", with the company claiming 40% or more energy savings over traditional LCDs. The sets also put a focus on energy usage by including a power indicator menu and an optimized energy savings mode, which dynamically adjusts settings to conserve power. We can't say we're fans of dynamic adjustments for image quality, but those that value energy savings over performance might prefer … Read more

How China Has Changed Since the Last Leadership Transition
All eyes are on China this November as the country prepares for the once in a decade leadership transition within the ruling Communist Party.
The world's second biggest economy has undergone a massive transformation within the last 10 years. From rapid urbanization and economic growth to social and political development, China has marked many milestones and firsts in the past decade — highlighting its significance on the global stage.
With this in mind, we look at six major changes that China has undergone since the last leadership transition in 2002. Focusing on factors like economic development to changes in consumer behavior, we look at how big of an impact China's transformation has had on the rest of the world.
Rapid Economic Growth
Riding the wave of rapid economic expansion, China's growth engine has remained strong over the past decade. China's economy grew from being the 5th largest in the world in 2002 to 2nd only to the U.S. by 2010.
The country has seen an average annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 10.6 percent since the last leadership transition in November 2002. Yearly economic growth was in the double digits from 2003 to 2007 and hit a high of 14.2 percent in 2007 — levels not seen since the early 1990s. However, like the rest of the world, China was impacted by the global financial crisis in 2008 and saw its GDP fall to 9.6 percent that year. Since then, the superpower has been able to maintain strong economic growth of over 9 percent, but it continues to be plagued by fears of a hard landing. GDP in the second quarter of this year fell to 7.6 percent, hitting its slowest pace in three years.
- Slideshow: The Best Countries for Long-Term Growth
Many economists now expect China's annual GDP to fall below 8 percent in 2012, with even Beijing setting a target of 7.5 percent growth — marking China's first drop to that level since 1999. Uncertainty over how the new leadership will deal with slowing growth is intensifying and several analysts have told CNBC that policymakers may be taking their eye off the ball when it comes to the economy to prepare for the once-a-decade leadership transition. The politics involved in the government change may be slowing the policymaking in China and deterring the government from making significant economic decisions, according to experts.
Rising incomes
Economic development has led to rising incomes in China as workers demand higher wages to cope with soaring living costs in major cities.
In a 10 year period, the per capita income of urban residents rose from $827 in 2001 to $3,711 in 2011, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China. That's a nearly 350 percent increase. China's average minimum wage has been rising an average 12.5 percent annually from 2006 to 2010, and the government announced earlier this year that minimum wages should grow by an average of at least 13 percent in the five years to 2015.
Rising wages has become a major concern for local and international manufacturers betting on "cheap" Chinese labor for growth. Many are moving production inland to save on costs, while others are looking into alternative manufacturing hubs in Asia like Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. For example, Apple supplier Foxconn, in the news recently for labor unrest at its Chinese factories, announced in August that it would invest $10 billion in Indonesia to tap into one of the cheapest labor forces in Asia.
Stocks Outperform in a Decade
China's battered stock market, which was down more than 20 percent in 2011, and is lower by nearly 6 percent so far this year, has made headlines recently for being the worst performing major equity market in Asia — a sharp contrast to China's growth story.
Still, taking into account the total gains made over the past decade paints a more bullish picture. The Shanghai Composite index rose 35 percent from 2002 to 2011, far outperforming the U.S. benchmark S&P 500 which only rose 9 percent in the same period. But, despite the substantial 10-year gain, it hasn't been all smooth sailing for Chinese equities. The Shanghai Composite fell about 65 percent to 2,016 in October 2008 during the global financial crisis from a peak level of 5,725 in September 2007. While stocks continued to gain ground up until August 2009, it has been in a steady decline since.
Despite the downtrend in the last three years, several analysts are still optimistic about a turnaround in Chinese equities on the growing possibility of more easing by the government to spur growth. Japanese brokerage Nomura predicted in July that Chinese stocks could climb as much as 20 percent by the first quarter of 2013 after having bottomed in early June. Meanwhile, the notable head of Goldman Sachs Asset Management — Jim O'Neill — said in September that Chinese equities present the "most attractive" investment opportunity in all of the BRIC markets.
Internet Explosion
By sheer numbers, China is experiencing a technology boom unlike anywhere else in the world. Its internet population surpassed half a billion users in 2011 — making it by far the world's biggest online market. That's a more than 362 percent increase since 2005. Even then, the internet usage penetration remained at 38 percent in 2011, presenting further growth potential.
About four out of 10 Chinese use the internet, accounting for a total of 538 million users, according to state-run agency China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC). That population is set to jump to 700 million users by 2015, according to the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), which is more than double the entire population of the U.S. The country's fast growing online market provides a big opportunity for retailers and BCG predicts that China's online retail sales will triple to more than $360 billion by 2015 to make it the world's largest online retail market.
Smartphone makers are also looking to increase their presence in the country's mobile phone market. Nearly 70 percent of China's internet users connected to the web through their handsets in 2011, according to the CNNIC.

The joint political declaration demonstrates how far the relationship between NATO and Japan has been taken in recent years. It sets out shared strategic interests in promoting global peace, stability and prosperity through pursuing a rules-based international order. It also outlines areas where Japan and NATO can develop closer cooperation, such as crisis management, peace-support operations and disaster-relief efforts, as well as defending against emerging threats from missiles, pirates, or in cyberspace.
Japan is one of a range of countries beyond the Euro-Atlantic area, which share similar strategic concerns and key Alliance values and with which NATO is developing relations.
NATO's Strategic Concept, adopted at the 2010 Lisbon Summit, paved the way for a more flexible partnership policy offering all partners the same basis of cooperation and dialogue. Choosing from the wide range of cooperation activities available in the Partnership Cooperation Menu, which is open to all partners, Japan is currently developing an Individual Partnership and Cooperation Programme tailored to its interests, which will formalise its relations with NATO.
Practical cooperation
Japan has provided much-valued support for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and for reconstruction and development efforts in Afghanistan. Japan helped mobilise international support for Afghanistan's ongoing development by organising the Tokyo Conference in July 2012 and has itself pledged US$5 billion to this end over a five-year period (2009-2013).
In the past, Japan supported efforts to disarm, demobilise and reintegrate former combatants, and it continues to support efforts to reintegrate insurgents under the Afghanistan Peace and Reintegration Program, to which Japan has contributed US$52 million.
Japan has also provided financial support to human security projects in numerous regions of Afghanistan since 2007. Facilitated by ISAF, the Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) identify critical areas for Japan's Grant Assistance for Grassroots Projects (GAGP). In 2009, Japan appointed liaison officers to the Lithuanian PRT in Chaghcharan and the Swedish PRT in Mazar-e-Sharif to support these programmes. They also maintain a direct presence in the office of the NATO Senior Civilian Representative to help coordinate the US$20 million worth of GAGP funding.
Moreover, Japan has made valuable contributions to the Afghan National Army (ANA) Trust Fund aimed at equipping and sustaining the ANA, including US$20 million for literacy programmes as well as funds to procure medical supplies. Additionally, Japan has made generous contributions to a NATO/Partnership Trust Fund project in Afghanistan with a view to enhancing stockpile management and physical security of ammunitions.
Japan has also been contributing generously to the Law and Order Trust Fund in Afghanistan (LOFTA) since 2007, mainly to support the salaries and training of Afghan police. Donations over the three-year period from 2010 to 2012 amounted to almost US$600 million.
Japan has supported similar Trust Fund projects in other partner countries. It is supporting an ammunition stockpile-management project in Tajikistan and also contributed to a project to clear 571 hectares of contaminated land and safely dispose of unexploded ordnance in Azerbaijan.
In the 1990s, Japan played a role in stabilising the Balkans, where NATO has led several peace-support operations since the mid-1990s – as a major donor nation, it contributed to the successful recovery of the Balkans region and its reintegration into the European mainstream.
More recently, Japan's Maritime Self Defence Force has assisted NATO ships with preventing pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden.
A strategic dialogue involving high-level discussions held alternatively in Japan and at NATO Headquarters in Brussels has been ongoing since the early 1990s. Initial exchanges led to more structured and regular contact.
NATO's Secretary General visited Tokyo in April 2005 and again in December 2007. In January 2007, during his first term as Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe addressed the North Atlantic Council. Japanese Foreign Minister Takeaki Matsumoto visited NATO Headquarters in May 2011 and met the current Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who visited Japan again in April 2013 for talks with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and top officials in his government on security issues of shared concern as well as opportunities for deeper cooperation.
Demonstrating the deepening of relations between NATO and Japan in recent years, Japanese officials have participated in a number of informal exchanges of views with Allies on security issues of mutual interest, such as North Korea, assistance to Afghanistan, cooperation with Central Asia, missile defence and counter-piracy.

More landscapes from Yellowstone.
An illustration I'm currently working on. I need to do some more ink washes, bring in some darker areas, and redraw some hands. Any other thoughts?
More Yellowstone drawings.
Those most recent landscapes are BLOWING ME AWAY!
Sorry my phone has been off, it died and I haven't been able to replace it yet. I may have lost all my contacts. Send me an e-mail with your number to firstname.lastname@example.com and i'll give you a call soon as i get a phone!
That hillbilly bear piece is killing me! Such awesome characterization. Everybody looks dumb and ugly, but somehow endearing
I've decided to get back into using my tablet and have been working on scribbles here and there, but decided tonight to dive into something more polished. I started thinking about making a mock up 2d sidescroller and started on the background image. I'm pretty happy with parts of it and I stumbled on some little ideas I plan using for new pieces.
And the second image is the final piece for my art show I had in January. The whole show was focused on my Yellowstone landscapes. This last one is 8 feet wide and 4 feet tall. Mixed media between house paints and chalk pastels. It will be worked on some more, to really push the depth, but I only had a night to get it started/done, and that's as far as I got.
Keep up with the blog THOMAS, we be posting.
Thanks, you're the muse for my redneck mythic epic.
Some more digital scribbles
It's been a hot minute since I've posted.
I could really use some crits. I'm losing the original steam and I don't want to just give up the image.
Finished bear story + fake 2d sidescroller image.
Late night manic scribble!
Nice textures, I also like the fact that most your stuff has lots of things in it, wich makes them entertaining, I spent some nice 5 minutes only with the bear thing. The Syle is also quite original. I¡d only try to work further on line quality and brush stroke economy, still, looks cool m8.
Suiraiaira- thanks. I still have a lot to learn, but have really been focusing on areas that I am weak on lately. I hope it shows soon.

I love the style of the letters! I love how free and uninhibited that and the "darkwing and the duck" piece are. You are kicking some major ass here lately. That foreshortening sketch loots very dynamic, great thing for you to be practicing! I just can't end a sentence here without an exclamation point!
That "screenshot" sketch is also very cool.
Just finished a new Muffriend image. See if you can figure out the maze!
Some character design work. Alien/mutant soldier. Still working out the details. Will attempt a full character sheet of ol' boy here.
I really love those landscapes.

These are all part of a project I've been hammin' on over the last year or so. Fantasy stuff and stuff.

Portuguese Cheese
Portuguese cheeses are often wildcards - you never know from looking at it what sort of flavor you'll get. Almost all the cheeses we carry are basically farmstead cheeses, produced by hand at the local level and intended for Portuguese consumption. They seldom make their way across the pond. Like Portugal itself, cheesemaking traditions there have resisted modernization; instead, to meet the growing demand, they have made traditional methods more efficient and produce non-DOP versions of most of their DOP cheeses. The result is that, although the cheeses are sometimes a bit expensive, you really can taste the tradition of small-scale, regional production in a way that is difficult with US-destined cheeses from many other European countries.

In Mid-Western and Central Ontario
New York (July 27, 2012) - To celebrate its Centennial and 100 years of fostering marketplace trust between businesses and consumers, Better Business Bureau (BBB) executives and guests visited the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today to ring the closing bell.
Carrie A. Hurt, President and CEO of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, rang the closing bell to mark the organization's 100th anniversary. BBB was founded in 1912 as the Advertising Vigilance Committee by corporate executives who were fed up with deceptive advertising and fraudulent claims. Samuel Candler Dobbs, a vice president of Coca-Cola, drafted "The Ten Commandments of Advertising," and dozens of corporations signed the manifesto. Later that year, the first local group was founded in Minneapolis.
The Better Business Bureau name was suggested in 1916 by Arthur F. Sheldon, the founder of a school on salesmanship, and the organization continued to grow. The first national office opened in 1921 in Cleveland, Ohio, and the first Canadian BBB opened in 1928 in Montreal. The organization today has 115 local, independent BBBs across the U.S. and Canada that maintain BBB Business Reviews on more than four million businesses, handle dispute resolution for nearly one million complaints a year, and alert consumers of scams and fraudulent business practices.
For a century, BBB has fostered trust in the marketplace by helping consumers make smarter buying decisions through BBB Business Reviews; resolving disputes between consumers and businesses; and educating the public on scams and fraud.
370,000 BBB Accredited Businesses are committed to following the organization's strict Code of Business Practices, which includes guidelines on ethics, customer service, transparency, financial management, advertising and privacy. They also must maintain at least a B rating in order to remain accredited. The support of these businesses enables BBB to offer virtually all of its services to consumers for free.
In addition to Hurt, guests on the platform included:
A video of the bell ringing will be available shortly after the market closes at www.youtube.com/user/nysetv1. Photos will be available on Council's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/betterbusinessbureau.
ABOUT BBB: For 100 years, Better Business Bureau has been helping consumers find businesses, brands and charities they can trust. In 2011, consumers turned to BBB more than 100 million times for Business Reviews on more than 4 million companies and Charity Reports on 11,000 charities, all available for free at www.bbb.org. The Council of Better Business Bureaus is the umbrella organization for 115 local, independent BBBs across the United States and Canada, as well as home to its national programs on dispute resolution and industry self-regulation. BBB Metro New York was founded in 1922 by the New York Stock Exchange to fight investment fraud, a mission that continues today.

People don't wanna be compared to the teenage girl; the teenage girl is hated, teenage girls hate themselves. If you listen to a certain kind of music, or if you express your emotions in a certain kind of way, if you self harm, you write diaries, all those kind of activities are sort of laughed at and ridiculed because they're associated with being a teenage girl. Even just things like being cripplingly self conscious or overly concerned with our appearance, that's considered like a teenage girl thing and therefore its ridiculous, it's stupid, it's not relevant or legitimate, and you know, what we needed at that age was legitimisation and respect and support but all we got was dismissal and "oh you're such a teenage girl."

New details are emerging surrounding the critical injury of a Winnsboro woman set on fire in a city park on Sunday night.
20-year-old Sharmeka Moffitt is in critical condition at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport. Her mother, Edna Moffitt, says surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. "Both of her arms, and they are third degree burns, down her chest and legs - one. Basically her arms are real bad." Edna Moffitt also confirms her daughter was not wearing an Obama t-shirt, as initial rumors on social media had indicated.
At a news conference held just before Noon Monday, authorities confirmed Moffitt called 911 around 8 p.m. Sunday from Civitan Park, telling them she had been attacked and burned by three men in white hoodies. They say she was unable to identify her attackers. Franklin Parish Sheriff Kevin Cobb confirms that "KKK" was scrawled on the hood of her car in some sort of paste-like substance, with a racial slur underneath.
At this point, police are not classifying the incident as a hate crime, but FBI agents are there investigating the possibility. Agents are there in addition to Louisiana State Police and local law enforcement, the State Fire Marshal's Office and the Franklin Parish Sheriff's Department.
Winnsboro Police say they will be tightening security at the park as a result of the incident.
"This is a horrific event for our community," says Franklin Parish Sheriff Kevin Cobb. "It makes everyone uneasy. It is our hope that everyone stands together at this time, and follow the information that is gathered, follow the facts, follow the evidence and hopefully that will lead us to justice in this case." He went on to tell KSLA News 12 that they have no information to lead them directly to any individual suspects at this point, but he says they are following all avenues.
The story went viral Sunday evening on Twitter and Facebook. Many of the posts speculated the attack was a hate crime. However, the sheriff's office has also confirmed with KSLA News 12 that Moffitt was not wearing a President Obama t-shirt, despite claims on social media that the t-shirt is what provoked the attack.
Family and friends are planning a candlelight vigil for Sharmeka Moffitt. It's set for Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. at Civitan Park.

Dan Deacon - America (Domino)
I've long maintained that Deacon is a natural link between Baltimore's indie rock/club culture and the classical-music scene at the Meyerhoff, and this disc furthers that point. It includes spazzy, electro-pop workouts like "Guilford Avenue Bridge" and "Crash Jam" that should play well in clubs, but its four-part "USA" suite is the heart of the project. In it, Deacon flashes his compositional chops and conjures a heady, heart-racing mix of lush strings, shimmering electronics, and a battery of percussion that brings to mind Steve Reich, Brian Eno, and So Percussion. Marin Alsop should take note.
Height With Friends - Rock and Roll (Friends/Cold Rhymes)
Despite its title, this disc is the product of a hip-hop collective with a revolving cast that includes guests like Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack. It opens with "I Can't Stand to be Refused," a wickedly propulsive tune that sets funky percussion and surf guitar against measured and deliberate rapping. From there, the proceedings slow, shift in and out of genres, and, ultimately, coalesce around Height's restrained rap. Height With Friends plays a record-release party at Floristree on August 10.

This message will shake those lost in deceptive Churchianity with the uncompromising truth that not all who claim to be Christians and not every church that professes to be a house of worship are preaching the authentic gospel that transforms man and leads to everlasting life!

I've had my share of senior moments the last week, more of them unforgettable than forgetful.
No single piece of mail can more brutally deliver mortality's sharp stick in the eye than the dreaded AARP membership packet, and my own little reminder of the five-decade milestone came when seniors and their concerns were uppermost on my mind.
The bloom of term limits in Colorado seems to be off the rose.
Hannah Hayes
When Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who directed the Manhattan Project, witnessed the first atomic explosion, he quoted a line from the Bhagavad-Gita, "I am become Death, the shatterer of worlds." The military smiled, and the rest of us started worrying.
Emily's List, an organization that was formed to support the election of pro-choice Democratic women, is named based upon what has become an increasingly true idiom of political campaigns. Emily stands for "Early money is like yeast." Candidates' ability to raise funds in the early stages of campaigns has something to do with how they will use that money in their campaigns, but has much more do to with how their campaigns are viewed by others.
By Hannah Hayes
The year 2010 is shaping up to be one of the most active primary seasons in recent Colorado history. In the U.S. Senate race, Democratic incumbent Sen. Michael Bennet (who was appointed by Gov. Bill Ritter when Ken Salazar became secretary of the interior) faces a spirited challenge from within his own party from Andrew Romanoff, former speaker of the state House.
Do you have any information that might help investigators crack one of Jeffco's unsolved cases? The crimes outlined here have dogged detectives — some for many years.

Brandi Jo Malonson:
Disappeared in December 2006
One of my dad's favorite stories about me is when he took me to the Big Top to buy a kite when I was 5. We found everything we needed for 97 cents. I handed my dollar to the store clerk and waited for change. When I asked for it, he told me it was for the governor. I said I didn't want to buy a governor. After my dad and the clerk explained that the governor was going to use my 3 cents for the road to get to the store and the school I would soon attend, I acquiesced and let him keep the change I had anticipated.
As in physics, politics has a handful of immutable laws. One of these is the Law of Overreaching, which states that the party in power will inevitably overreach.
Majority parties tend to act as though the entire population shares their core agenda. The problem with this, of course, is that for the most part no majority is possible without the support of a sizable number of voters who aren't affiliated with either party.
After the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy in 1968, his brother Ted ended a moving eulogy by saying, "My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will someday come to pass for all the world."
In the spirit of Michigan, where I'm at: Should Flint tear down one-third of its city? There's a June 6 article in Forbes magazine called "The Best and Worst Cities for Recession Recovery." Colorado has one city on the "best" list, Boulder, because of its technology industry and the university creating stable jobs. At the top of the "worst" list is Flint, Mich., with "the longest road to recovery."
When members of Congress left Washington to spend their August recess at home in their districts, pundits predicted they would be bombarded with constituent communication about President Obama's health care reform proposal. Due partly to public interest in the issue and significantly more by sophisticated grassroots efforts by supporters and opponents of the initiative, the pundits have been right.
We all know that 911 is the number to call in the United States to get help in a police, fire or medical emergency. A 911 call goes to the emergency dispatch center closest to the caller, and trained personnel send the emergency responders to the caller's location.
In Jefferson County, a team of dispatchers answers 163,000 service calls a year and dispatches five law enforcement agencies and 11 fire departments. Our dispatchers are trained in emergency medical dispatching, meaning they can talk a caller through basic medical treatment until help arrives.
I'm one of those people who can't help but shift into lecture mode whenever people complain about jury duty. I automatically launch into how jury duty is a privilege and that it and voting make living in our democratic society so special. Despite my civic pride, I hadn't been called for jury duty since 1994 and hadn't been on a jury since 1992.
Between Durango and Pagosa Springs is a hidden gem of Colorado history. Before prehistoric dwellings were built into the cliffs at Mesa Verde, Ancestral Puebloans created a small settlement on top of a mesa near two dramatic pillars of stone. The place is called Chimney Rock.
For 30 years Iran has slowly been staging a rebellion. The recent election and demonstrations may be a turning point for those with legitimate grievances against the repressive mullahs. It is unclear to what degree there was voter fraud, yet students, women and the middle class have certainly raised profound issues while risking everything. Unfortunately, there is not yet a sufficient coalition present that unites these groups of revolutionaries with labor, military, ethnic groups and oil producers.
Do Colorado roads sometimes feel like the Wild, Wild West? A new law seeks safer roads and happy trails for all, here in Jeffco and throughout Colorado.
Gov. Bill Ritter signed into law Senate Bill 148, the Bicycle Safety Bill, clarifying our state's rules on how bicycles and motor vehicles share public roads. Sponsors Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray, and Rep. Michael Merrifield, D-Manitou Springs, worked with fellow legislators to find common-sense approaches that enhance road safety for everyone. The new law takes effect on Aug. 5.
In Denver area ice hockey circles, he was known simply as "the goalie in the wheelchair."
Kyle Stubbs and his chair stopped pucks for a lot of teams over the years: the Warthogs, the Grinders, Berserk, Spitfire, and Chimney Full of Squirrels, to name a few. And he frustrated the shooters of other teams too numerous to list.
On a recent Saturday, many of us who played with and against Kyle gathered at the Promenade in Westminster to say goodbye and to remember a man who refused to accept the limits that life imposed.
Two years ago, I got a call from my friend Mark Obmascik. Mark, a former Denver Post reporter turned author, was working on a new book, and he needed help.
His previous book, called "The Big Year," was about hard-core birders who tried to accumulate as many species sightings as they could in 365 days. It was quirky and entertaining, and compelling enough to get me into birding myself.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. SB 228 certainly proves that adage in Colorado. When Gov. Bill Ritter signed the bill last week, he characterized the bill as taking a big step toward modernizing Colorado's state budget. At the same time, Josh Penry, the Senate minority leader and a possible challenger to Ritter in next year's governor's race, called the bill "California-style taxing and spending."

College Football: Long, winding road brings Odiari to State
For a few days, there used to be a mystery player on the field for Texas State.
An unknown walk-on defensive end from West Texas A&M quickly ascended the ranks to work out with the first-string defensive line. That player took over the spot of Jordan Norfleet, who started all 12 games opposite Jamie Clavell-Head in 2012.
All right, Mr. X has a name. Michael Odiari just didn't want it to leak out.
"To be honest with you, my parents don't even know I'm doing this," Odiari said with a laugh. "They don't want me to do this and I don't even know how they're paying for me to be here, but that's why I'm trying to earn a scholarship."
Mr. and Mrs. Odiari, if you're reading this: your son is well on his way to earning a permanent spot with the Bobcats.
"He's having an impressive spring," Texas State head coach Dennis Franchione said. "All of our linemen say he's tough to block."
It's been quite a long, but circuitous path for Odiari to return to the Bobcats.
Back in 2010, Odiari received a preferred walk-on offer from Franchione and his staff following the Texas High School Coaches Association All-Star Game. Odiari played alongside current Texas State safety Justin Iwuji at Hebron High.

These are just a few of my favorite pictures of some decorations of our house for Christmas. The candle centerpiece was made by me with different sizes and colors of candles on a cheap red tray covered with a white scarf, scented pine cones, and Christmas tree balls. The close up tree picture is one of my favorites just because of the simplicity of it but yet it shows the beauty of the holiday.

The pilot cnnnot tell whether the machine Is taking a nose-dive, is spir¬ alling downwards or merely gliding a bit too rapidly. If n stable machine be let alone un¬ der these circumstances It will right itself eventually and glide normally. But few pilots have nerve enough to Jet It alone and they are liable to try to poll out too suddenly, which means dlsn.sati^r.'

Many Will Claim Spltzbergen. More thnn .SOO yenrs ago. In 1614, Jnnios I of Encland. formally claimed Spltzbergen.

They were old, humble, hut heart- vorne people of the ohi-fashloned kind, simple In tl\elr lives, and love and friendship were exempllflefl as natural, fnrnest emoticms, devoid of guile. The young folks had their social gather¬ ings, parties, barn dances and husking liees, custom nnd mlid superstitions, like Hnllnwe'en Action lending a charm to especial occasions. Quite In the course of events ench Darby found his .loan, and at last Uoflncy Trumbull was sure he had discovered his. There was not a sweeter or prettier girl In Rocktcm than Ivy Lane, and Uodney bad known her for about a year. The parents of Iwth smllcHl In¬ dulgently upon the manifest mutual sentiments of the couple. Uodney re¬ garded Ivy as a being ethereal. He was so Imbued with a sense of her IK-lceless perfection that he grew abash¬ ed when he dared to hope he was to gain the love of this peerless creature, naturally of a shy nature, he had made little progress in his lovemuklng. There was to be a party at the home of Ivy, nnd about n week before that Uodney saw her home from a church social. As they were about to part at the garden gate h«> mustered up the courage to disclose whnt hnd been ur¬ gently upon his mind for many hours. "Ivy," he said, "when I come to the party nt your house next Wednes¬ day, I want you to accept a little keep¬ sake from me. Will you?" "But you gnve me a lovely bouquet of roses only yesterday nnd—" "But this Isn't roses. I want to gK'e you a ring." "Oh, Uodney—shocking I" laughed Ivy. "It's coming from the city, where I have ordered it, and If you will only wear it on your engagement finger—" "There is mother calling. Good night, Rodney," and Ivy flitted away, prob¬ ably happier than she had ever been In her life. "She did not say she wouldn't ac¬ cept the ring," breathed Rodney cour¬ ageously, and counted the hours till the arrival of the evening party. Ivy received hlra with a gracious smile that set every nerve tingling, but as the hostess of the evening she could give him no further exclusive atten¬ tion. A MI.SS Lisle fell to his charge, partly through the efforts of the young lady In question to make it so, and In all courtesy Rodney found himself set¬ tled as partner and escort for the oc¬ casion to that flashing beauty from the city, temporarily visiting a married sis¬ ter in Rockton. Miss Lisle was a siren In n mild way. While she despised what she termed the crude social wnys of Rock- ton, she set herself up ns a desperate flirt, nnd had half the girls by the ears because of her audacious appropria¬ tion of their beaux. Now It seemed that she had set nbout the conquest of Ivy's poor lone lamb, who, although thus singled out by the brilliant queen of beauty, longed only for one mo¬ ment's sweet converse with the real Idol of his heart. At last Rodney, watching his chnnce, saw Ivy dart through the doorway of a darkened wing room to reach the front hall as there were some arriv¬ als. Rodney hastened Into the unlit apartment. lie clutched an escaping figure. "The ring!" he whispered ardently. "Here It Is. You will make me so happy to wear It on your engagement finger." The yielding form fluttered in his arms. "You—you wouldn't kiss me, would you?" he added in wild desperation. A pair of lips met his own. He seemed tn paradise. Voices neared. They parted precipitately. Uodney ha.s- teued back to a crowded room and sank to a chulr, feeling as If the world had beeu won. He wns In such a stnte of rhapsody that he wLshed to be alone. He looked up with a shock. He made out Ivy, and smiled at her. She seemed to turn ber back on him. She was speaking to Miss Lisle, who was animatedly flourishing a ring on her engagement finger, nnd glancing knowingly In the direction of Rod¬ ney. The latter was crushed. He real¬ ized the truth In a flash. He hnd not met aud kissed Ivy in the dark, but oh; fatal blunder. Miss Lisle. She came toward him now In her artful way of gracefulness. "I have just been telling our dear mutuitl friend. Miss Lane, of your jiretty present!" she said. "And oh 1 Mr. Trumbull, I promised sister to be home by eleven, and It Is now nearly midnight. Won't you see to my wraps," und almost without realizing It Rodney was bustled out of the house aud Miss Lisle was languishly hanging on his arm. prattling pretty nothings in the mellow niuonligtit. He hated himself as an arrant cow¬ ard as he left Miss Lisle at tbe door of ber sister's home. She was a flash¬ ing flame of coquetry, she plainly con¬ sidered that they were engaged, she insisted ou his joining herself uud her friends in an auto drive the next aift- eruoou. "I will tell her plainly of the error tdiu U laboring under. Aad I mast see Ivy!" resolved Rodaey. But when he rang at the door bell of the Laue home the next day, Mrs. Laue received him coldly and stated that Ivy was la (Mapoaed As Uoduef waat oat of the yard Ivy's father stepped np to him. "Mr. Tmmbnll," he mid atemiy. "I dont know what yo« havf Mid or done to hnrt my girl's feelings, hnt yon1l either mend them or itay away from here after this." Rodney mnde one flnal bnt nnsnr- rpasfiil eftort to re»et» Tvy. He went to the office of a cousin of hers, who railed Ivy np on th«» telephone and then passed the receiver to Rodney. "It's me. Ivy." began Rodney, tumul- fuously. "And I wnnt to explnln—" The air became void. Ivy had hnng np the receiver. Uodney walked aimlessly In the di¬ rection of the river. He sat down on n fallen tree and stared gloomily at the bubbling wnters. A shadow cniised him to look np. The old slren- llke. half scornful smile habitual with her npon her lips, Mis.s Lisle addressed him. "And Vihy are ynu so engrossed In deep meditation, my loyal knight er¬ rant," she gibed. "I wns thinking of Jumping Into the river nnd ending It all," blunUy de¬ claimed Rodney. "Ending whnt?" "My cowardice, my wretched pol- troonly ?" he blnze<l forth. "It was all a mistake. My kissing you." "I know." calmly pronounced Miss Lisle. "Listen, my friend; I nm «<>- ing fo U'ave Brocfon for my city home tomorrow.

She showed him that it was no long¬ er on her hand. "Come with me," she said, "and I wtll show you where It Is now." He was puzzled, dejected, hopeful, all at the same time. A ttSM^V 1^ feminine wiles, he dlfl not seem t* fathom the variable caprices of the whimsical beauty except by following her dumbly. She led hira to hor sister's home, und to the door of Its parlor room. "You win find the ring In there— whore It belongs," she said. "I fan¬ cied It flne to malce sport of a bump¬ kin lover. Believe me, I have sunk fur in my own estimation." She opened the door, and he saw Ivy. And upon her finger—and on the en¬ gagement one—was the ring, and the siren's reparation wns complete. And Ivy put both her hands In his, and there they stood, hllssfuL DEPOTS COVER MANY ACRES Largest Railway Station In the United Kingdom tt Waterloo—Oth¬ ers of Large Size.
