Late last October, while making a visit to Altoona to speak to Pirates fans at the UVA Club, Clint Hurdle spoke eloquently, and persuasively, about the lessons that the Bucs had learned in his first season as their manager.
The 2011 season had held promise through July, when the overachieving Pirates had won 51 of their first 95 games and had earned national acclaim as Major League Baseball's surprise story before the improbable ride came crashing to a halt.
Those young Bucs were in uncharted waters as temporary leaders in the National League Central Division pennant race, and though August and September brought a 21-46 slide and a 90-loss season - the Pirates' modern American sports record 19th losing season in a row - the overall feeling surrounding the club was still a positive one.
Hurdle emphasized how the Pirates had recognized that a full major league season involved many twists and turns, and that the players realized the need to finish their business down the stretch run in the future. They'd taken their lumps in 2011, certainly, but they were better for the experience.
When the same scenario, rife with similar opportunities, unfolded again in 2012, the Pirates appeared to be battle-tested and immune from having the same misfortune befall them two years in a row.
Yet, like reliving a bad dream, the Pirates did experience another late-summer collapse in 2012, and there appear to be few silver linings this time.
Everything that had gone so splendidly in June and July again went terribly awry in August and September. The Pirates' management, players and fans will spend the offseason pondering how, and why.
How did a team that had boasted one of baseball's best records - 63-47 on Aug. 8 -- plummet into a National League-worst winning percentage of .308 for the remainder of the season, winning just 16 of its last 52 games, to wind up with a 79-83 record and extend that onerous streak of consecutive losing seasons to a full two decades?
Why did a team that had been permitted to print playoff tickets as late as August 20 fall quickly and completely out of the National League Central Division title hunt, dropping from 2 games behind division champ Cincinnati on Aug. 9 to nine full games behind the Reds just 18 days later?
How did a team whose hopes were energized by the addition of a second wild-card playoff position in the major leagues this year become such a non-player in that wild card race so quickly during a lost September in which it won just seven of 28 games?
How did a seemingly solid pitching staff on which righthander James McDonald was a strong all-star candidate in July implode in August and September, as McDonald ended his season with a swollen earned run average and a seat in the bullpen?
Why did the Pirates' bullpen - which had been one of the team's strengths for the first four months - slip in the final two months, rendering closer Joel Hanrahan a non-entity for save situations?
How did centerfielder Andrew McCutchen, who was torching the National League batting race with a .373 average in early August, see that average drop 46 points over the last two months?
How did Hurdle go from a very strong National League Manager of the Year candidate in late July to hearing about the Pirates' upper management fending off negative public speculation about his future with the club in mid-September?
The malaise that surrounded the Pirates over the season's final seven weeks seemed to encompass just about everybody.
And even though a few players enjoyed banner seasons, if the pitching doesn't come together again like it did in the first half of this season, the overall problem may not be quite so imminently fixable.
The Pirates will start the 2013 season with a host of demons to exorcise. After two consecutive late-summer swoons, the team's fan base - not to mention its players - has to wonder if it's just plain snakebitten. It might be awhile before another dynamite first half excites anybody.
Though the Pirates finished this season with three players - McCutchen (31 homers, 96 runs batted in, second in the National League with a .327 average), third baseman Pedro Alvarez (30 homers, 85 RBIs) and first baseman/outfielder Garrett Jones (27 homers, 86 RBIs) - having hit 25 or more homers, the offense discernibly lacked the formidable pop in the final six weeks that it showed off in June, when the Pirates crashed 39 homers and tied a club record for homers in a month that was set by the 1975 squad. This year's Pirates did finish the year with 170 homers, second only to the 1999 club's 171 in team history.
The pitching staff, as has seemingly been the case for the past decade, will again enter next season in a state of flux. Righthander A.J. Burnett, picked up from the New York Yankees last offseason, rejuvenated his career in Pittsburgh this summer, winning 16 games - the most by a Pirate since lefty John Smiley won 20 way back in 1991. But even Burnett tailed off a bit in the second half, going just 6-8 after the all-star break.
Veteran lefthander Erik Bedard didn't make it through his first season in Pittsburgh, losing 14 games and getting his walking papers from the Bucs in mid-August.
And what of McDonald? He pitched as poorly in the second half of the season (3-5, 7.52 earned run average) as he pitched superbly in the first half (9-3, 2.37 ERA), calling into question his future with the club.
Righthander Charlie Morton, who had enjoyed a bounce-back year in 2011, saw his season shut down this year in May due to shoulder inflammation. Another righty who the Pirates are counting on, Jeff Karstens, missed sizeable chunks of this season with shoulder and hip problems.
Veteran lefthander Wandy Rodriquez, picked up from Houston before the trade deadline, turned in generally solid work for the Pirates, but righty Kevin Correia - a double-figure winner in both of the past two seasons - will be a free agent and may not be re-signed.
A full season of Starling Marte - who won an Eastern League batting championship with the Curve in 2011 - will add punch, speed and athleticism in the outfield, but the struggles of Alex Presley, Jose Tabata and newcomer Travis Snider with the bat have created question marks there.
Pittsburgh native Neil Walker (14 homers, 69 RBIs, .280 average) emerged as one of the National League's best second basemen in his second full season with the Pirates this year, but a herniated disk in his back caused him to miss most of the last six weeks of the season. Will that become a chronic condition, or one from which Walker can bounce back smoothly in 2013?
Maybe the Pirates weren't nearly as good as what they showed during the first four months of this season. But it's also the hope of everybody who has suffered right along with them for the past two decades that they're not nearly as bad as the team that was on the field for the last two months of the last two seasons.

Tina Fey is a whiz at turning mishap into comedy, as she proves yet again with this new promo for the season premiere of Saturday Night Live.
The Emmy winner makes fun of her award-night wardrobe malfunction – it seems her blue Narciso Rodriguez dress revealed a bit too much cleavage as she accepted her award with Tracey Wigfield for outstanding writing in a comedy series for 30 Rock.
The clip features several spots on the SNL set with Kenan Thompson, and in the last segment, the duo assures us that there will be no more accidental nudity when she hosts the show this Saturday.
"There will be no more wardrobe malfunctions like at the Emmys," Thompson says, "Unless you want to do one?"
"No, it's not gonna happen. It's under control," Fey replies as she spreads her arms wide to reveal that she's topless underneath her black blazer. "Forgot my shirt," she says quietly.

The best kept secret, why didn't anyone ever tell me about this! Review by Leslie
Price Value Quality
Please forgive me if this is "too much information", but because of the topic (and item) it will be useful. I wish I had known about this years ago!! Pads, and yes even tampons are no longer in my household ( I am the only woman).
The DivaCup allows me to go longer hours before needing to refresh; great for overnight or when in public washrooms. I can pee and swim without worry and an immediate change, because nothing gets wicked/absorbed. I don't have to carry anything around with me (pads, tampons, liners) in noisy packaging and there's no garbage. There is no smell, no need to mask odours. You can even use it when you are expecting your period to start, because you don't have to worry about TSS (toxic shock syndrome). It is easy to insert, and with a little practice it will be quicker than using a tampon/pad. You don't feel it when it's in place (or if you do it's not uncomfortable). It is very sanitary, simply wash and reinsert.
Honestly, there is no way I would ever go back to using a tampon or pad. Never again do I have to rush to the store to buy more tampons/pads, or make sure I have enough tampons/pads with me when going out or travelling!! I've saved lots of money already. If you have a period, then this is the best way to deal with the flow. Easy, convenient, reusebale, discreet. My husband doesn't even know when my period starts, unless I tell him ;) (Posted on 6/30/10)
No more tampons! Review by Lorraine
Quality Price Value
I LOVE my diva cup! I used the size one for a number of years before the birth of my daughter and am now using the size two. There are so many advantages to using the diva cup I don't even know where to begin. Once you get the knack of the diva cup it is soooo much more comfortable than tampons - and you don't need to worry about using the right absorbency level or changing it every couple of hours. If you are concerned about dioxins in tampons or the effect of women's sanitary products on the environment, give the diva cup a try! (Posted on 7/1/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
AMAZING Review by yogajenni
Price Value Quality
This does take a few cycles to get used to but once you have I promise you will never go back to pads or tampons again. The initial cost seems like it's a lot but I was spending that every 2 or 3 months and I haven't bought anything in almost 2 years! Amazing! I love it and recommend anyone with a period should try it. I will certainly be introducing this to my daughter when she starts... in like 10 years!
I would echo Leslie in that my husband now has no idea when I start my period unless I tell him. There is nothing icky in the garbage and I never leak so no blood in my underwear either! Amazing and great product. (Posted on 11/3/10)
This makes my periods so much easier! Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
I only wish I had this cup many years back, because it really does make my monthly cycle more comfortable. It does have a learning curve, but it is SO worth it. I am one who reacts to the plastics in commercial pads/tampons, so I am thankful to have a great option.Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
I pair my DivaCup with a cloth pad at night for the perfect bulletproof system. No more waking up to leaks and embarrassment in the middle of the night. I did need to trim the stem of the Diva with nail clippers - this is the way to go to avoid any sharp edges. I have since heard that you can also turn it inside out and I might give that a try in the future!
When out, I just dump into the loo and pop it back in without any issues at all. But most of the time there is no need to even do this as it holds more than a pad or tampon. Since you can leave it in for much longer (up to 12 hours I believe), in the last days of my period I feel like I'm not on it at all! Best of all, I have no more reactions to sensitive areas that I had with plastic and paper feminine products. (Posted on 1/3/11)
I got my life back :) Review by et
Quality Price Value
I hated this time of the month! But not anymore! Thanks to this little discovery. And my 16-year old daughter started using it and she has never looked back. My 14-year old is hesitant but I think she is about to give in :) Especially after a camping trip when she could not go swimming when the older sister could ;)
I never pushed it for them, just showed how it works. They really have to be very comfortable with their bodies. It does take some time to get a "hang of it", so don't give up. I'd say at least three periods. After that you'll almost look forward to this time of the month :D
I have several friends who started using it after I sent them a link about the menstrual cup. Don't hesitate, try it. And if you like it, please, don't keep it a secret! Talk to your friends, so that they can get their lives back :) Word of mouth is the best ad. Otherwise you'd think there are nothing more than pads and tampons. I truly regret that I discovered the Diva Cup so late!!!
It all sounds very much like "as seen on TV", but it's true :D (Posted on 9/10/11)
Buy one! Review by Morgan
Price Value Quality
I've been using a DivaCup for years, and I've never looked back. I used to have to double up, super absorbency tampons and overnights pads for my three(!) very heavy days. Now I don't even use a panty liner. I use it swimming, doing yoga, running, and never a drip. It takes a try or two to get the hang of inserting it, but once you've got the trick of it, you'll know instantly if it's not in right. (Posted on 11/27/11)

on July 6, 2013 - 7:26 PM
The March 2010 raid on Beth Lynne Hoskins' East Aurora horse farm was the biggest in 40 years by the SPCA Serving Erie County.
And the subsequent legal proceedings, already the most expensive, may also be the longest in its history, even if Aurora Town Justice Douglas W. Marky is finally able to issue a ruling in the misdemeanor animal cruelty case Monday.
In addition to being one of the longest, the Hoskins case has been one of the strangest in Erie County.
Since the raid that removed 73 horses, more than 50 cats and a handful of dogs from the 50-acre farm, all the dogs and 40 of the horses have been returned to Hoskins. Three horses have died in SPCA care and the rest are still in SPCA custody. Hoskins, still arguing for the return of the rest of the horses, did relinquish most of the cats to the SPCA.
Also in that time, one legal team has been fired by the defendant, one assistant district attorney was fired by the prosecutor, and one judge withstood an effort to have him recuse himself when it was realized his son-in-law worked for Curtis Screw, a company owned by the defendant's wealthy parents.
While the case sputtered through procedural delays, personnel changes and issues of illness and evidence, the SPCA's costs just for the animals' care were piling up like the manure it said it found filling Hoskins' barns, reaching well over $1 million.
This is not what anyone expected three years ago, when 15 SPCA employees, escorted by police and carrying a search warrant, arrived at Hoskins' property amid allegations that dozens of Morgan horses, prized for shows and their even temperament, were being kept in filthy conditions and suffering from neglect.
Hoskins, who ran the farm as a breeding operation, was described as "very cooperative" at the time of the raid, but it is unlikely any of her opponents have used those words since.
Two months after the raid, Hoskins was entering a not-guilty plea to 10 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty, and telling reporters outside the courtroom, "Besides God and my daughter, those horses are my life."
But back at the farm, East Aurora police had contacted Child Protective Services because of the condition of Hoskins' own house. She and her daughter were not allowed to live there until it was cleaned.
While the SPCA was seeking money from Hoskins to pay for the care of her animals, photos from the raid showing horses caked with manure and standing in mucky stalls were released to the news media.
Four months into the case, State Supreme Court Justice Joseph R. Glownia futilely urged the SPCA and Hoskins to settle their differences, but it was not to be.
Hoskins called the release of the pictures an attempt by the SPCA to vilify her; the SPCA contended the photos were proof Hoskins was unfit to care for the animals.
The judge split the difference and allowed Hoskins to take possession of 40 of her horses, with the SPCA overseeing her care of them. The SPCA complied, but with "grave concern."
In mid-July 2010, the Erie County District Attorney's Office joined the fight, filing 114 animal cruelty charges against Hoskins in addition to the 10 counts she already faced. As District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said, with no small measure of understatement, "It's becoming increasingly clear there won't be an amicable resolution to the case."
Then the gloves came off. SPCA representatives started describing Hoskins' farm as "a hoarding situation."
Hoskins responded by claiming that the animals in SPCA foster care were being abused.
More than two dozen protesters marched outside old County Hall before one of Hoskins' civil court appearances.
It would be two years before her case ever went to trial.
In the interim, the SPCA would attempt, unsuccessfully, to get back the horses retuned to Hoskins. A Springville veterinarian who euthanized a Hoskins horse four months before the raid came forward and another count of cruelty was added to the list.
Hoskins fired her defense team and hired another, led by Thomas J. Eoannou.
The SPCA launched a fundraising campaign amid fears the case would become the costliest in the agency's 140-year history. And it has.
By December, Hoskins was ordered to pay less than half of the $30,828 that the SPCA requested for monthly care of the horses.
"We're getting less per horse per day than it would cost to put a dog in doggy day care," a spokesperson lamented.
In March 2011, one year after the raid, Marky dismissed 51 of the animal cruelty charges.
Meanwhile, Alex Cooke, who had been the SPCA's primary investigator at Hoskins' farm, complained that when SPCA workers videotaped conditions at the farm, Hoskins was videotaping the inspectors.
The photo taking didn't stop there.
Hoskins later hired a private investigator to take photos of Cooke, as she was arriving at and leaving the home of Assistant District Attorney Matthew A. Albert, with whom she developed a romantic relationship during the case. The judge rejected Hoskins' request for a mistrial earlier this year, but is reconsidering the matter today.
A few months after Marky dismissed some of the charges, Hoskins turned down a plea offer that included being convicted on two of the Class A misdemeanor cruelty counts.
Instead, Eoannou challenged the statements made by an SPCA employee that led to the original search warrant and subsequent raid. Again, the defense asked that the case be dismissed.
At the time, Barbara Carr, executive director of the SPCA Serving Erie County, accused the defense of trying to drag the case out so the agency would give up.
"Well, guess what? We won't," Carr said. And they haven't.
Opening statements were made at last in May 2012 by Assistant District Attorney Michael Drmacich and Eoannou.
Over the next few months, observers in the courtroom became accustomed to seeing Hoskins' daughter, then 7, sitting next to her mother at the defense table, sometimes playing on a laptop computer, and noting Hoskins' wide array of wardrobe changes and sometimes noisy accessorizing. At one point, at the request of the assistant DA, JMarky instructed Hoskins to "cut down on the jangling" of her jewelry.
Much of the testimony early on was about manure: in the stalls, piled by the doors, and caked on the horses – "like little bricks the Venetians used to make," one witness said. A farrier talked about the horses' hooves, which had grown out for lack of trimming, something that can encourage disease and cause lameness.
Then it all stopped for two months.
Testimony resumed in November, but not for long.
With holiday interruptions and medical issues affecting Hoskins – of which prosecutors were skeptical – trial officially resumed in March, three years after the raid.
With the criminal trial still underway, Hoskins has filed a civil lawsuit seeking more than $2 billion from the SPCA and 18 individuals.
Closing arguments were in early June, with the judge promising a decision shortly.
But it didn't come soon enough to stop one more twist in the case: Assistant DA Matthew Albert was fired June 28 after Hoskins' brought forward evidence he and SPCA worker Cooke were still involved, something Albert says is not true.
By Monday afternoon, those who have been following the case may find out if it's the final twist.

MARTINSBURG - Several years after a lenghty battle over the eligibility of player, the Martinsburg football program is headed for another possible battle after the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission ruled senior quarterback Malique Watkins ineligible.
The organization based its decision on rule 127-2-5.3.a, which states, "A student held back one year on sixth, seventh, or eighth grade without failing shall lose the fourth year of eligibility after entering ninth grade."
Watkins was an eighth-grader at North Middle School during the 2008-09 academic year, earning 'C' and 'D' grades. He then transferred to St. James School in Hagerstown, where he was given a placement test, per school policy, which determined he did not qualify for the ninth grade. He enrolled as an eighth-grader.

Martinsburg QB Malique Watkins (7) evades a Morgantown tackler during a game Sept. 27 in Martinsburg. Watkins' eligibility is being questioned by the WVSSAC.
Watkins returned to Berkeley County for the 2010-11 school year, where he was accepted as a ninth-grader at Hedgesville High School and played freshman sports. He then transferred to Martinsburg High and continued the same academic path.
Watkins' eligibility first came into question prior to the Bulldogs season-opener against H.D. Woodson, which Watkins sat out. According to court papers, SSAC informed the school of the situation, and the school was told that the matter was being investigated.
The SSAC ruled Watkins ineligible last Thursday, and the next day, Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge David H. Sanders granted a temporary injuction. The case will resume Friday at 11 a.m.
Watkins then played in Martinsburgs 28-21 win over Morgantown Friday, rushing for 277 yards and three touchdowns. The Bulldogs are trying for their fourth straight Class AAA championship and are back in action Friday against Washington.
The SSAC did not address the situation in any detail.
In 2007, Martinsburg forfeited two games after the Bulldogs used a player in those contests was later ruled academically ineligible. That case went to the West Virginia Supreme Court, which reversed a previous ruling made by a Berkeley County judge that restored the wins.

Worst political movie ever made? That was my initial and perhaps somewhat harsh judgment as I left the cinema after watching In the Loop which was so widely-praised I just had to go and see it. The main character is meant to be based on Alastair Campbell, legendary spin-doctor for Tony Blair.

BLACK AMERICA WEB — A Texas school superintendent apologized Friday for his decision not to allow students to watch President Barack Obama's recent back-toschool speech live while earlier consenting to busing about 500 students to see former President George W. Bush talk about a Super Bowl volunteer initiative.
Arlington Independent School District Superintendent Jerry McCullough issued the apology, which has received mixed reactions in the community.
The local NAACP president and some parents said the apology didn't go far enough. A local minister, who had earlier criticized McCullough publicly, says now that he accepts the superintendent's apology and can forgive him.
"It's discrimination," Anthony Brown, a parent of a third grade student at Bebensee Elementary School, told BlackAmericaWeb.com. "I didn't learn until watching the 10 o'clock news the Monday before the speech that it would not be shown. At that point, I couldn't arrange to take off from work to make sure my child saw the speech, and so far we've only been able to watch snippets of the speech on the Internet."
Brown said he called the school board to complain, and he has also called the Arlington NAACP because he does not accept the explanation for tuning out Obama at school while busing students in the middle of the school day to see the former president.
McCullough said there was no relationship between the decisions made about the Obama speech and the unrelated trip for students to a community kickoff for the 2011 Super Bowl, where Bush will be speaking on Sept. 21.
"In retrospect, I can see how the district's decisions concerning these two events could be seen as favoring one event over another," McCullough said in a prepared statement posted on the school system's website. "I made the decision to record President Obama's speech and make it available to teachers for use at a later time."
"I realize that this does not take the place of watching the speech live, but I am encouraging teachers to use President Obama's speech on the importance of education and personal responsibility as an educational resource in their classrooms when and how they deem most appropriate for their students," he said.
Rita Sibert, president of the Arlington NAACP, said she has received several calls from parents and teachers who are not pleased with the school district's handling of the matter.
"Some teachers, including a White teacher, called me and said it's as if now the superintendent is placing the decision on showing the speech on them," Sibert told BlackAmericaweb.com.

This is the first of what we in Brussels hope will be a series of blog entries about lacrosse and youth lacrosse in Europe from the perspective of the coaches and players of the only lacrosse team in Belgium and what we think is the only high school team on continental Europe (the island nations of Great Britain and Ireland excepted). It is kind of ironic for North Americans like Greg and I to have to move to old Europe in order to enjoy a pioneering experience, but that's precisely what we are doing, at least in lacrosse terms. We'll blog later about the roots of Lacrosse at the International School of Brussels, from where we are writing.
We've conducted a little research about the roots of the game in Europe, which is probably the best place to begin our own story. It is said that story of lacrosse in Europe begins in 1867 after Queen Victoria watched 27 Canadians including 13 Iroquois, led by a certain W.G. Beers, play a match on the grounds of Windsor castle. The queen's diary entry that day noted that "The game was very pretty to watch." Her aristocratic entourage apparently got the hint, and within months lacrosse was being played by the daughters of the great and the good at England's most posh boarding schools. The men's game also took off, and when Beers returned with another Canadian team in 1883, he discovered that some sixty clubs had been formed in Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Lancashire Middlesex and Yorkshire. It was the first lacrosse boomlet in Europe, but one that stopped at the frigid waters of the English Channel.
There are two points to remember here. 1) In lacrosse terms, the green pastures of Buckingham Palace may well be as hallowed as the artificial turf at Hopkins' Homewood Field and, 2) Lacrosse in Europe is most deeply rooted in England. Not surprisingly, the best lacrosse in Europe is still played there even as the game begins to take root in Germany, the Czech Republic, Finland, the Netherlands and elsewhere. England, of course, is the only European nation competing at the highest levels of world lacrosse. The rest of Europe is playing catch up.
But things are moving quickly here. Just the other day, we noticed that NLL lacrosse is now shown on European cable television. Nothing will raise interest like that. Both Greg and I play ice hockey here in Brussels with a bunch of Finns, Swedes, Russians and Czechs. We can tell you that lacrosse quickly catches the eye of hockey players and there are a lot of hockey players in northern and Central Europe! The Czechs are picking up box lacrosse very quickly and developing stick skills that are surprising advanced although stylistically more similar those practiced by kids from Ontario than those from Baltimore. You can tell that a game is growing and taking root when national styles of play begin to become evident.
It's the end of January in sun starved Belgium. The weather has been uncharacteristically cold and obviously we are now in the interstices between Fall Ball and the spring season. Practice begins only in March and our hope is that our 45 or so kids are occasionally taking their sticks out to work on their left hands. My suspicion is that if they are taking out their sticks they are shooting around on their strong hands which will make our challenge all the greater come March.
We will cross that bridge when we come to it.
Paul Cook is the Assistant Lacrosse Coach at the International School of Brussels in Belgium. During the day he is the Director of the Economics and Security Committee at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. He began his lacrosse career as a midfielder playing for the legendary coach, Heb Evans, at what was then known as Governor Dummer Academy but which has since become the Governor's Academy. He went to play attack for the B Lacrosse Team at Johns Hopkins and was one of its captains in 1982. He played some club ball in Washington afterwards, coached ice hockey in the Italian Alps for two years, and returned to the game of lacrosse two years ago when, to his amazement, he discovered that it was being played at the International School of Brussels where his son had just enrolled.
Greg Murawsky is a Science teacher at the International School of Brussels. Seven years ago, three students had discovered that he was a former "Box Lacrosse" player from Ottawa, Canada and enlisted him to be the coach for the new "club" at the school. Seven years later, the lax club has grown into a a legitimate team and Brussels has been working to create youth lacrosse opportunities for its students and anyone who'll play us all over Europe and in the UK.

Justin Bieber's mentor is still defending the embattled pop star.
Usher – who famously beat out Justin Timberlake to sign the then 13-year-old to his label – posted a statement to Instagram on Saturday, throwing his support behind Bieber as footage of him telling racist jokes continues to leak.
"At my core, I am a person that supports growth and understands without judgment, that growth often comes as a result of pain and continues effort. As I have watched Justin Bieber navigate difficult waters as a young man, I can tell you that he hasn't always chosen the path of his greatest potential, but he is unequivocally not a racist," he wrote, also posting a throwback photo showing his arm wrapped around Bieber.
"What he was 5 years ago was a naïve child who did not understand the negative power and degradation that comes from playing with racial slurs," the statement continues. "What he is now is a young man faced with an opportunity to become his best self, an example to the millions of kids that follow him to not make the same mistakes."
Bieber, now 20, is in hot water after an old video of him using a derogatory slur surfaced Sunday. A second clip showing him inserting "n––––" into the lyrics of his hit "One Less Lonely Girl" was released Wednesday.
The singer, whose recent bad boy behavior has caused legal woes and public controversies, apologized hours after the first video went public.
"Five years ago I made a reckless and immature mistake and I'm grateful to those close to me who helped me learn those lessons as a young man," he said in a statement. "Once again … I'm sorry."
Usher's Instagram comes after a Nylon Guys interview in which he stood by Bieber's other indiscretions.
"Do I turn my head in shame based off of what I see, what I know? Nah, I don't because it's all part of life's process," he told the magazine. "Am I in it with him? Yeah."

Zenaida Gonzalez' defamation lawsuit against Casey Anthony will most likely go to trial before her bankruptcy filing is addressed.
On Monday, Gonzalez' lawyers filed a motion asking for more time to object to Anthony's bankruptcy after the defamation case goes before an Orange County jury.
The bankruptcy judge suggested the two sides try the case first to see if a jury awards Gonzalez any money damages.
That would help determine whether Gonzalez could still claim to be Anthony's creditor in the future bankruptcy action.

If you go
What: Freeport downtown cleanup
When: Volunteer registration is at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at This Is It Eatery, 16 N. Chicago Ave. Participants will clean downtown from 9 a.m. to noon.
What you'll need: Participants are asked to bring a broom and a pair of gloves.
FREEPORT — A new grass-roots organization called Freeport in Action will oversee a volunteer effort to clean, weed and plant flowers in and around downtown Saturday.
And you can help them.
Founders Mark Diddens, Kathy Knodle and Bob Nickels have been involved with other organizations to help make Freeport a better place to live. But the trio wasn't being as proactive as they would have liked, so they formed Freeport in Action in January. The group promises to be more about action than ideas.
"We're organizers," Diddens said. "We're creating an opportunity for people to jump in and help out in the community instead of waiting for other people to do things. We feel that any great city gets that reputation because of the involvement of its own citizens. It takes the people's involvement to step up, jump in and help make their town a better place."
The group's focus is simple: to restore a positive image of Freeport.
"We want to do everything we can to bring more people downtown and enhance businesses," Diddens said.
Another ideas in the work is to dress up vacant downtown storefront windows with local artwork.
The downtown spring cleaning is the first project that Freeport In Action is tackling. Diddens hopes the turnout will near 150 people. All volunteers are encouraged to bring a broom so they can sweep up sand left over from the city's winter snow and ice removal efforts.
"The economy — it's tough times right now," Diddens said. "But, where money is thin, manpower can make up the difference. There's something special about Freeport. That's why we're all here. We see the potential, but it's going to take everybody working together."
Freeport Downtown Development Foundation Director Danielle Rogers believes the organization will have a positive impact on the city.
"It's always good to see local residents with passion to do good start something like this," Rogers said. "It's exciting and it's definitely going to be a good thing for the area."

Parents & Teachers as Allies
In-Service Mental Health Education for School Professionals
NAMI is delighted to announce the expansion of our Parents and Teachers as Allies in-service mental health education program for school professionals. This two-hour in-service program focuses on helping school professionals and families within the school community better understand the early warning signs of mental illnesses in children and adolescents and how best to intervene so that youth with mental health treatment needs are linked with services. It also covers the lived experience of mental illnesses and how schools can best communicate with families about mental health related concerns.
This program responds to the recommendations included in Goal 4 of President Bush's New Freedom Commission report on mental health that calls for schools to play a larger role in the early identification of mental health treatment needs in children and in linking them to appropriate services. Our program is based on NAMI's highly successful Parents and Teachers as Allies (P&TA) publication.
The components of the in-service education program for school professionals include the following:
This program is designed for teachers, administrators, school health professionals, parents and others in the school community.
The program is designed to target schools in urban, suburban, rural, and culturally diverse communities. The toolkit has been developed to be culturally sensitive and a Spanish language version of the Parents & Teachers as Allies publication has been developed.
NAMI has also worked with the University of Maryland on an evaluation component to measure the program's success and to help ensure continuous quality and program improvement.

64 GPU cores really opened my eyes....
4. PackMan (Posts: 277; Member since: 09 Mar 2012)
These cores are not like Intel or Amd or Arm cores. Current Nvidia desktop cards have about 512+ stream or CUDA cores. Nvidia bringing Kepler to mobile devices is similar to Intel bringing x86 to mobile devices. If you scale up any arm based processor to the size of intel, the current Intel line up will not only crush them in terms of performance but they will also be more power efficient than arm based processors. Howecer the same is not true when you scale X86 downwards. X86 will still be more powerful than ARM on core by core performance but ARM will win in terms of lower power consumption. The same is case when you compare Kepler with powervr or mali chips. However both Intel and Nvidia are reducing the power consumption on their chips. so we will wait and see what happens next...

Power consumption is kind of my buzz kill and avoidance of Tegra 3 phones. I think our battery technology just needs to play catch up.

Tegra 3 consumes less power overall dum dum

So the HTC One X outperforms a Galaxy Nexus in battery life? I did not know that.
29. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
The international verision for sure. More power effecient chip and no lte with similar sized battery. They both are 't good though huge screens with high resolutions and undersized batteries. The razr maxx is the most well rounded phone when you consider thickness/battery life/lte/power/screen

Number of cores won't matter. Depends how much each core can do. Tegra 3 is already 12 Cores. But still weaker than SGX543MP2. Forget about the MP4 in iPad3. Mali-T604 is rated at 68 GFLOPs with T658 can crank upto 350 GFLOPs. Tegra 3 is now at 12 GFLOPs. The point is that you have to prove that the end-product is better than the competition. This is not all. You have to take into account heat, power efficiency, drivers etc., Tegra SoCs are never known for their memory bandwidth. Just search Google about it, and you would know what I am talking about. They may sound good on paper, but let them first prove that they are better than the competition -- they are yet to do that.
12. PackMan (Posts: 277; Member since: 09 Mar 2012)
but this is not like like tegra 3 and tegra 2.We dont know how will kepler perform in mobile devices. If it is the same as the desktop one then we can speculate only using 64 cores is going to beat any other Mobile Gpu's but still not sure about power consumption. However these New Kepler chips are capable of turbo boosting which Nvidia copied from intel(which they openly admitted to). New kepler based cards are far more power efficient then AMD's current line up at least when not running at 100%. This feature will work great for mobile devices, no need for companion cores, all the main cores can automatically down-clock themselves when needed.

power..... in other words it's 64MB graphics card
wholy moly!!!!!

I don't care much about the GPU. If the CPU is as bad as on the Tegra 2 and 3 I'm not gonna get one.
13. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Tegra 2 and 3 was the first fual and quad core chip give it a break. The cpu isn't bad eiter. The tegra 2 cpu beats out the crapdragon s2. And right now the tegra 3 cpu is #1 until the s4 comes out then its a tie bassically soon to be outdone by the exynos and t4 most likely as well as whatever ti comes with and crapdragon is last (once again)

27. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
you mean he sounds RIGHT. :P
22. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
In speed the snapdragon is a lot faster than the tegra 2, where the s3 fails is in its gpu performance, tht is where t2 is better. And yes tegra 2 performance was pretty bad compared to the s3. The s4 has already; proven to be quite a lot faster than the trgra 3 and its GPU is just a bit worse. And no. Once the new TI and Exynos come the "crap dragon" will jot be last. Qualcomm is releasing a quad core in around September
26. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
just why are you so far up Qualcomm's ass when Texas Instruments and Samsung has been beating them on a consistent basis for the past 2 generations of chip sets? their rate of progression really hasn't deviated a lot in the past few years. the S4 was rumored to come out in late 2011 and there's still no phones on the market with it and this is April of 2012. they'll have to give themselves 2-3 more months of extra time on the market in something for a power user to be able to justify a purchase than to just wait for Samsung or TI's next gen SoCs.
31. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
Lol, do you always have to comment on everything I write? Qualcomm shipped the most processors last year. The One S (with the S4) is on the market. Does it matter when it "was supposed to" come out? the galaxy s 2 was announced on February 13. It made it to all the carriers in the US and Canada on October 12. And also ready what you wrote, The S4 was RUMORED to come late last year, Qualcomm never confirmed it. Why am I so far up qualcomms ass you ask? stupid question, you might as well ask, "Why are you so far microsoft's ass when macs are more adored." And are you really impressed with TI's previous offerings?
35. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, it's how you should know you post some pretty ridiculous posts. does that really mean so much to you? you know all that means is that Qualcomm is selling them cheaply because well...they're cheap. oh is it now? uh...yeah. that's your problem, you get all bent out of shape about every little thing that i say you miss the whole point. the S4 is too late. the Galaxy S II has plenty of time to reign supreme in every country it's launched in. there's practical reasons to want to have a PC, there's differences between it's functionality and a Mac's. SoCs as different as they may be do the same thing and that's being the brains behind a smartphone/tablet. i bet you wouldn't complain if HTC started to use TI Chips. yeah, they beat the pants off of Qualcomm's offerings.
41. Mario1017 (Posts: 336; Member since: 04 Sep 2011)
I really couldn't care what HTC uses. As long as it works well in the phone. And tell me, when was the last time you where impressed by TI's past offerings. I wasn't happy about the s3 either.
43. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i dunno, i thought the OMAP5 demonstration was pretty cool but really if you want an LTE device now the most powerful LTE devices are powered by the OMAP4 being that the Exynos and the Tegra III don't support LTE and the S4 isn't out in anything yet.
25. Habib (Posts: 114; Member since: 26 Feb 2011)
My friend lets not forget HUAWIIE's K3V2 quad-core here :D!
28. biophone (Posts: 1956; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
Well its not out yet so I didn't include it.
To mario king kurogii is right about snapdragon.
And zues I will take that as a compliment.

the htc one S is out, and it has the S4
37. cvdvds (Posts: 6; Member since: 25 Mar 2012)
I have a TFP. And I'm not impressed. The only reason it's good at some of the benchmarks is because it's quadcore and that doesn't mean a thing in real world performance. The S4 is dual core and beats the s**t out of the quadcore Tegra 3.
I mean okay it's the first quad core CPU but still it's A9. A9 is just bad compared to A15.
11. Walter.D.DROID (Posts: 25; Member since: 01 Apr 2012)
About all the cores, I don't really care what they do and what they don't;) i just want all the power to do what i want to do! +.+

15. MorePhonesThanNeeded (Posts: 645; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
All this talk of better power consumption, I have yet to notice a single super phone on these processors that have better battery life than the phones we have out now. Better power consumption my ass, only time it's better is when it's powered off.
18. Obviously (Posts: 29; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
Because you have access to all the new phones with Tegra 3 that haven't come out yet.....

If its true and they put it in the right device then i will go for it. If not, I will be grabbing an OMAP5 instead.

ROARING SPRING - Jim Bulger has been in the jewelry business for a long time.
"I started when I was a teenager working on Saturdays helping my dad with engraving and odds and ends," said Bulger, 63, who has decided it is time to get out of the business.
"I have worked for 40 years and decided the time was right to retire from this and do some other things in life. I am not sure what. I will let the future come to me and see what happens," Bulger said.

Jim Bulger shows a champagne diamond to Cathy Rankin of Six Mile Run during the going out of business sale at Bulger's Jewelry Store in Roaring Spring.
Bulger's Jewelry Store is holding a going out of business sale at its 312 Spring Plaza store, which he opened in 1988.
Bulger consolidated his business into the Roaring Spring location in 2009 when he closed his Bedford store, which had been open for 13 years, after moving from Saxton where his father, Mark, founded the business in 1948.
Closing the Roaring Spring store had been in the planning stages since then.
"I am at peace with it. I am very satisfied with my decision no matter what happens," Bulger said. "When dad was living, I mentioned that I got us to the 50th anniversary and after that I made no promises. I have no other family members to pass it on to. I
didn't want to stay here until I die."
Bulger said the jewelry business has changed over the years.
Bulger has been a key player in the local jewelry industry, said Dan Decker, co-owner of Decker Diamond Jewelers in Ebensburg.
"He has been rock solid. He has just been a good foundation for the jewelry industry as a whole. He epitomizes honesty and integrity. He will be missed in the industry," Decker said.
"The biggest thing is with all of the malls, the Internet and QVC, all of those things take a bite out of the bottom line. We offer a personal service the big places can't do. We've survived for 65 years so apparently we are doing something right," Bulger said.
"I do all of my own repair work here on the premises; that is a big plus. We work on a one-on-one relationship with the customer, 90 percent of the people who walk in the door I know them. I am not a sales person; it is more of a friend and friend relationship," Bulger said.
Bulger said he will miss his customers.
"The personal relationships I've had, the friendly people I will miss on a day-to-day basis. I won't miss the stress that goes along with the business," Bulger said.
Bulger said he hopes to wrap up his sale by the end of the year.
Bulger said he expects to keep busy after his retirement.
"I have a lot of hobbies, and I hope to get into a part-time job to occupy my time, something totally different. I have no clue what that is now. Usually things come to you. I have had a couple of job offers already. I also will do some traveling," Bulger said.

"I'm very excited for her," the actress's costar Morena Baccarin told PEOPLE on the red carpet before the ceremony. "She's going to be a wonderful mom. It's been a pleasure watching her slowly grow, and she looks so gorgeous. She looks stunning."
What's especially admirable to Baccarin about the award-winning star, 33, is her ability to successfully conquer a grueling work schedule while pregnant.
"She's a trouper," Baccarin says. "She has insane hours and really long days, and the work she's doing on the show is fairly emotional and heavy. But she's been really great. And she's been there for me so many times that I keep saying, 'I need to be there for you. What do you need?' "
The praise didn't stop there. The beautiful Brazilian says Danes will make a great mom because, "She's really intelligent and she's pragmatic. She's incredibly wise and she's really nurturing."
Clad in a bright yellow Lanvin ensemble on her big day, Danes told PEOPLE the outfit was "baby bump-friendly."
"[I feel] incredible," she said. "This time last year, I was presenting, and I was so excited to share our work with the world. And now it's finally out there. To have people be so excited about it is so fulfilling and very, very rewarding."
Equally overjoyed for Danes is her husband Hugh Dancy, who told PEOPLE "of course" he is thrilled, adding, "It's been a great year."

Hi all
Looking to see if anyone has dealt with www.pandoraaustraliaworld.com ?
I've been looking for particular charms which I've only been able to find on there and just want to see if anyone can share their experience before I buy.
Thank you!
Posted 13 December 2012 - 10:05 PM
I've ordered gifts from here a couple of times with no problems. They seem to have a good range and prices plus free delivery.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 10:13 PM
They also have the charms I want. Pandora have discontinued them.
I'm fairly sceptical about the site I posted due to the MAJOR price difference.
Posted 13 December 2012 - 10:16 PM
OP the site you mention is not listed as an authorised Pandora retailer and some of the grammar on the site is not quite right, so I doubt it's legit. You can check Pandora's Facebook page for a list of authorised retailers.

Some Weld County residents got a big surprise early Monday morning when they discovered a black bear rummaging through their garbage and looking in their window in Johnstown's Indianhead Estates.
The bear, about 100 pounds and no more a few years old, went up a tree outside the residence along U.S. 34 and near Weld County Road 15, said Troy Florian, district wildlife manager with Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
After meandering in the area, it wound up in a tree at the corner of U.S. 34 and Weld 17 Monday morning and remained there Monday night. Weld 17 is the stoplight on U.S. 34 near the Kia auto dealership.
The bear was still in the tree as of 7:30 p.m. and wildlife officers were watching and hoping it would come down and head home after dark, said Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill. No more details on the outcome were available at presstime.
The agency asks that residents do not stop to see the bear, and anyone who stops will be asked to move.
Florian said he used a non-lethal bean bag round to coax the bear to move on from the residence early Monday morning.
"He wasn't aggressive at all," Florian said. "He learned pretty quick he didn't want to be around people."
Florian said the bear moved on to another tree in the middle of a field on the north side of U.S. 34 before making its way through the parking lot of Peak Kia and back to the south side of the highway at the corner of Weld 17.
Florian said the best-case scenario would be for the bear to come out of its high perch on its own, so he and other officers could coax it back toward the St. Vrain River drainage, likely where the bear came from.
Florian said he's working to avoid tranquilizing and relocating the bear, since bears in Colorado only have two "strikes" before they are killed. They can be relocated and tagged once but, if they get in trouble again, they are euthanized.
"As long as he's not hurting anything or causing alarm, we just kinda let him be a bear," Florian said. "He's not doing anything wrong, just following his nose."
Bureau Chief Steve Reams, spokesman for the Weld County Sheriff's Office, said deputies responded to help wildlife officers keep an eye on the bear.
Reams said his office wants to remind people to keep food sources — including compost, garbage, livestock feed, birdseed and dog food — in secure containers where they won't attract animals.
In a news release, Reams said it's important that residents not panic if they come into contact with a bear, and they should leave the animal plenty of room to escape.
He said anyone who encounters a bear should go into a nearby building and remain there until the bear leaves on its own.

Ever since Vietnam launched its "doi moi" economic liberalization policies 15 years ago, many have predicted that the country will be the next Asian tiger. This presumption has been reinforced by the stunning success of China's market-driven economy. Vietnam and China have many similarities including full political control by the Communist party and an economy that is moving toward the free market.
With a population of 86 million, Vietnam has a per capita GDP of $2,500, and the GDP has grown an average of 6.4% annually over the past five years. The annual per capita pharmaceutical expense is just $16.13, although that number is projected to rise to $60.30 by 2019. The country's large population and expanding economy will provide many commercial opportunities in the years to come, as will its proximity to China.
The Vietnamese government has placed a strong emphasis on biotechnology in order to modernize the country's agricultural and biomedical sectors. The "General Plan for Developing and Applying Biotechnology in Vietnam until 2020" addresses the country's economic development objectives.
The Ministry of Science and Technology will spend $15 million to fund R&D in several of the national laboratories, including the Institute of Biotechnology, the Vietnam Agricultural Science Institute, the Agricultural Genetic Institute, and the Institute of Tropical Biology.
Increasing the pool of scientific manpower is a priority in Vietnam and encompasses two phases: producing more than 8,000 graduates and postgraduates by 2010, and then training another 12,000 scientists by 2015. Strengthening the science and technology (S&T) infrastructure is another priority. This will be accomplished through regulations, new management practices, production development, and the importation of genetically modified organisms. Crops of particular importance include rice, sweet potatoes, papaya, cotton, and maize.
The S&T infrastructure shows the influence of the French and Soviet systems. In the Soviet S&T model, research is conducted at government institutes and instruction is the responsibility of the universities. A major flaw in such a system is the lack of technology transfer from the laboratory to industry and agriculture.
Two important institutes were established during French colonial rule— Pasteur Institute Ho Chi Minh City and the Pasteur Institute Nha Trang. Both are under the Ministry of Health. The Pasteur Institute pursues research in dengue fever, HIV, diarrheal diseases, leptospirosis, and poliomyelitis. The Nha Trang institute pursues research in microbiology, immunology, and environmental surveillance.
Vietnam hopes to fuel growth in the private sector by providing tax incentives, encouraging the creation of start-up companies based on technology developed at government institutes, and opening high-tech science parks.
