No Pun Intended
It's a trap. It's so clearly a trap that you briefly consider that it might not even be a trap. But it's a trap.
If you open a venue and decide to call it Hearsay (218 Travis), you're pretty much just baiting every chorus-verse-chorus writer to start an article about your place with some nearsighted pun like, "If you're looking for a classy hangout downtown, hearsay place you might enjoy" or something dreadful like that.
But its name actually turns out to be kind of clever and thought-out, a sly hat-tip to the many lawyers and law offices in the area, says management. Keep unraveling, and you find out that the demure entry doors belie a background story that rivals that of any in the area.
218 Travis, 713-225-8079
The three-story building that houses Hearsay has been around for just about 150 years. Commercially, only the building that houses La Carafe (813 Congress) is older. Officially known as the W.L. Foley Dry Goods Co. building, Hearsay's bricks and mortar were part of the Civil War and suffered through a big fire in the 1980s. The city nearly condemned it after that, but it was purchased in part by ambitious local artist Lee Benner in 1994.

It became a venue some might remember as 12 Spot, and then officially opened as Hearsay in mid-October after about a year of build-out following 12 Spot's demise. Of course, summing up the building's history in fewer than 100 words is like summarizing Bun B's career by saying that he put out some records and then his friend died and sometimes he wears a hat.
The place has a massive amount of history, which Benner chronicles nicely on Hearsay's Web site (www.hearsayhouston.com). He bought the building exactly one day before the city was to decide whether or not to tear it down. (What? You mean the City of Houston considered tearing down a historic building? The heck you say.)
Or you can ask Peter Courchene about it when you visit. He's the cheery Director of Operations of Landmark Houston Hospitality Group, and he touches on some of the highlights of the story nicely, peppering in a few anecdotes of his own like a seasoned college professor.
Hearsay is probably not a place you'd spend your entire evening, but makes for a proper bookend. Presumably because it's new, the venue's culture is far from set. A house-music Britney Spears remix was playing softly when we visited, and the evening's soundtrack never deviated too far from that. Because it's a "gastro lounge" (i.e., it serves food), there's a definite jazzy-restaurant vibe going on, and there were a few sporting events playing on the television.
It was a weird mix, but that'll settle inonce the crowd does.
Eventually, beyond the restored architecture and purposeful decor — all the banisters on the staircase, for example, are refurbished, hand-picked light posts — Hearsay's real draw will prove to be the drinks. The food ain't terrible either.
"We focused a lot on our drink selection, with some small batch groups you're not going to find at some other places," says Courchene, adding with a laugh, "but we do have Coca-Cola."
Even the industry folk are already talking, like wine rep Natalie Barba, who also visits Anvil Bar and Refuge (1424 Westheimer) and Beaver's (2310 Decatur), a couple of other lounges held in high regards for their spirits.
"A lot of places don't have that vibe," she says. "The ambience, the architecture, it's amazing. And they put quality into the bar. The mixology is something they should be proud of."
Stylistically, Hearsay probably has what it takes to survive in the downtown nightlife weeds. And during the day, it's bright enough to go after the "more upscale than a burger joint, more laid-back than fine hotel dining" niche, which can only help. If you hear something otherwise, it's probably just hearsay.
Wait. Did we just pun "hearsay"? Son of a bitch.
Take a quick peek at this weekend's calendar. It's a good couple of days for live music, particularly if you're hoping to wash off all that Westheimer Block Party from your clothes. Everybody from Ghost Mountain (Friday, Super Happy Fun Land, 3801 Polk) to Dwight Yoakam (Saturday, Arena Theatre, 7326 Southwest Fwy.) to The Mullet Boys (Saturday, Scout Bar, 18307 Egret) to Americans in France (Sunday, Rudyard's, 2010 Waugh) will be performing. And there are something like 20 other shows to choose from. Thanksgiving is only a couple days away, which means catty conversations about whose husband said what to whose sister-in-law. Get out this weekend and enjoy your life. Because come about 4:45 p.m. Thursday, you are so going to want to gnaw through your own throat.

It's been a mixed year for Petra Kvitova. She's the only WTA player to have made it to the quarterfinals or better in all three Grand Slam tournaments, which is more than respectable, but she hadn't beaten a Top 10 player in five attempts this year. Until today, that is, when she demolished Marion Bartoli 6-1, 6-1 in 61 minutes to move into the quarterfinals at the Rogers Cup.
American – or Canadian – hard courts have traditionally been Kvitova's worst surface: An asthmatic, she has struggled with the conditions and posted some fairly dismal results in the past few years during the spring and summer hard-court swings. That won't always be the case, however, as she demonstrated today with a devastating display of her crushing power tennis in heavy and humid conditions.
Bartoli, currently ranked No. 10, had won both previous meetings with Kvitova, but was in trouble right from the start as Kvitova was quick to step inside the court and crunch a shorter ball for a winner, as well as playing two drop shots, the second for a winner which earned her an immediate break for 1-0. Racing to a 3-0 lead after a booming cross-court forehand, then a running forehand down the line pass, Kvitova was serving well and hitting with such relentless pace and accuracy that she dictated almost every point, able to stand and hit in the center of the court while Bartoli chased balls frantically from side to side. Bartoli's defense is much better than it is often credited to be, but by the time she double-faulted the 6-1 first set away, she had failed to hit a single winner and such a situation is profoundly uncomfortable for the aggressive Frenchwoman.
Much of the credit for that must go to Kvitova's returning, which was sublime today and gave Bartoli no time whatsoever to do much of anything but desperately fend the ball away from her shoelaces, winning only 50 percent of points behind her first serve and 29 percent behind her second. Whenever Bartoli did get an opportunity to get into Kvitova's service games – the Czech was down 0-40 in the first game of the second set, then 0-30 on her next service game – Kvitova produced short but devastating runs of consecutive unplayable serves to hold. Five double faults didn't help Bartoli's case, especially when she served two in one game – the second on break point – to surrender her serve early in the second set.
Bartoli, who missed the Olympics but played Stanford and Carlsbad, should have looked dialled in on this surface; instead she appeared slightly jaded and fatigued, but the final count of 3 winners for Bartoli to 25 for Kvitova is eloquent where the pattern of play is concerned. When Kvitova is hitting winners from everywhere, and making only 11 unforced errors, it takes either something truly special from her opponent or one of those implosions for which she is justly known to stop her. Neither was forthcoming today.

President Obama, shown on Feb. 19 speaking against the sequester, warns that the 'meat-cleaver approach' could devaste the military and the economy. (AP photo)
As the window narrows for government leaders to undo sequestration's automatic spending cuts, leaders are ramping up opposition to the measure and warning of the grave impact that the cuts would bring. Meanwhile, other groups say it might not be such a bad idea.
On Feb. 19 President Barack Obama spoke out against sequestration, cautioning that the $1 trillion in federal spending cuts would deliver a serious blow to the U.S. economy, military readiness and national security.
"If Congress allows this meat-cleaver approach to take place, it will jeopardize our military readiness; it will eviscerate job-creating investments in education and energy and medical research," Obama said. "It won't consider whether we're cutting some bloated program that has outlived its usefulness, or a vital service that Americans depend on every single day. It doesn't make those distinctions."
Obama's comments joined a chorus of forewarnings, particularly from Pentagon leaders who have sought to push Congress to act.
"Today, in my opinion, the greatest threat to our national security is the fiscal uncertainty resulting from the lack of predictability in the budget cycles," Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno said Feb. 15 in an appearance at the Brookings Institution in Washington. "Our country's inability to put its fiscal house in order compromises the future of the joint force, the Army, and ultimately will impact our ability to provide security to our nation."
Odierno also warned that the looming fiscal threats could delay troops from being sent home from and redeployed to Afghanistan.
While most would agree sequestration's cuts will have a negative impact (with some debate ongoing about just how severe it would be), not everyone buys into the idea that the measure will be as disastrous for the military as some within the defense community are predicting.
"The cuts to social programs, public services and environmental protection will destroy more jobs than cuts to the Pentagon budget," Bill Hartung, director of the Arms and Security Project at the Center for International Policy, said on a Feb. 19 conference call for the "Jobs Not Wars" campaign. "If we're concerned about jobs, we shouldn't let the Pentagon and its contractors fend off sensible reforms that can save taxpayers billions of dollars."
Michael Eisenscher, national coordinator of U.S. Labor Against the War, contended that much of the general public supports cuts to a "bloated" Defense Department budget.
"Pentagon spending proponents are out of step with the American people," Eisenscher said. "A majority of Americans support substantial cuts to the Pentagon budget in favor of priorities that ensure long-term security here and abroad: creating jobs, repairing the social safety net, rebuilding public infrastructure, providing support for veterans, addressing global warming and meeting other urgent social needs."
The government is just days away from a complicated, multi-faceted March showdown. Besides sequestration's March 1 launch date, the president is slated to release the 2014 federal budget sometime around March 15. That is roughly the same time members of Congress are expected to begin debating the 2014 budget in their respective chambers as well. In addition to that, the current continuing resolution is set to expire on March 27 – and will require congressional debate of its own, which likely will compete with budget deliberations.
"Under these circumstances, it's going to be harder than usual for Congress to figure out baselines, economic forecasts and all of the other basic information it needs not just to draft a budget resolution but to evaluate what's being debated," Stan Collender, a budget expert at Qorvis Communications, wrote in his blog earlier this month. "All of this makes what happens in March impossible to predict."

A joint survey by Grant Thornton and PSC found that IT stakeholders in government fear their own employees and outdated systems the most when it comes to cybersecurity.
A key database of financial information was breached in 2016, possibly in support of insider trading, said the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Defense leaders and Congress are looking to encourage more aggressive cloud policies and prod reluctant agencies to embrace experimentation and risk-taking.
Steve Kelman talks to the agencies that have embraced tech demos in their acquisition efforts -- and urges others in government to give it a try.
The Department of Homeland Security banned the Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab's products from federal agencies in a new binding operational directive.
The Department of Agriculture is looking to cut down on the number of agency CIOs in the name of efficiency and better communication across mission areas.
Hmm, do you think you should have a budget first before any action is taken??? Without a budget, how do you know what to make decisions on? But I guess that would be too simple.
First off it won't happen. Working in government for the last 40 years I have seen gross mis-spending in all aspects of buying. Most times for no need other than to keep their budget or use it on garbaage, jusr so they won't get less the next year.
Sequestration was the president's idea back in 2011 to get past the budget ceiling debate. It is now clear this idea of his has consequences. The president needs to negotiate with both parties to avoid this. Much easier for one individual to work a deal then 535. He made the bed we are now (fitfully) sleeping in. Time to "man up" Mr. President and do your job.
The comments made are right on target!!!! Why does the military and the DoD believe they can grow for 10 years while fighting a war and not shrink once that war is over. I see article after article stating that this base or that is the largest employer of people in XYZ area. Then they complain that any cuts will be destructive to their local economy. Why would you build your entire local economy on federal employment?
How DARE anyone refer to these individuals as LEADERS? Leaders work together, compromise, find middle ground for the good of the country.

Miss Janice was chilling with her bf at her house for the weekend. Little teen Janice and her boyfriend Gus was sitting on the sofa having sex at the time her mom arrived unexpectedly from outside. She had forgotten important documents at home.
Dana, her step parent, was pissed at first. Ms. Griffith was giving him a blowjob truly badly. Thus when her step mom looked at his big dick she resolved to direct them how to expertly suck a dick. Ms. Griffith was not gratifying her bf in bed. She mentioned to Janice how to deep throat without gagging.
The plan worked like a charm. Ms. Griffith was happy and so was her young friend. Not only did Ms. Griffith jizz but so did her step mom.

Who are the winners? Read on and find out! First Category Winner... After some consideration after naming the candidates and plenty of consideration whilst doing the update, it was always going to be one person who I had in mind the entire time! The winner is... Aldaberto Calogera Stefano De Benedetto!!! I really felt he deserved this award due to his major improvement in his performances and his brilliant U21 appearance. He also managed to concede less goals than games played and made that first U21 appearance since his career began. Second Category Winner... The three players up for this award all had a shout out for why they should win it, but to come back from injury like this guy, I couldn't not give him the award... The winner is... Andrea Di Baggio!!! A worthy winner in my eyes and his second quarter award which could put him in good stead for the player of the year, although a lot of things are taken into consideration when winning that award and the downside for Di Baggio was missing so much action! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Inside the singular hysteria of the Academy Awards race… The crowd inside Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater on January 9 is awaiting what is being billed as "An Evening With Jeff Bridges." And officially, that's how things are going to unfold: A brief set of highlights from the actor's 40-year career will unspool, after which Bridges will take the stage for a Q&A, to be followed by a screening of his 1971 breakthrough, The Last Picture Show. It's all been skillfully designed to permit film buffs to pretend that they are not participating in an Oscar campaign. The only problem is, nobody's buying it, least of all the audience, which fills the air with gossip about the Academy Awards chances of Bridges's new film, Crazy Heart."

LOS ANGELES—Irving Azoff, chairman of Live Nation Entertainment Inc., resigned from the world's biggest concert promoter three years after helping forge its merger with Ticketmaster.
Azoff, 65, manager of groups including The Eagles and Christina Aguilera, is leaving immediately, the Beverly Hills, California-based company said today in a statement. John Malone's Liberty Media Corp., the company's largest investor, said today it bought 1.7 million of Azoff's shares.
Azoff, founder of Front Line Management, became chairman of Beverly Hills, California-based Live Nation in February 2011, when the concert promoter bought the rest of his artist- management business for $ 116.2 million. Azoff was chief executive officer of Ticketmaster, which was acquired by Live Nation in January 2010.
"My job here is done," Azoff said in the statement. "I'm looking forward to returning to the entrepreneurial world and continuing to work with all my friends and colleagues at Live Nation."
Live Nation plans to name a new chairman before the next board meeting, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The person requested anonymity because the deliberations are private.
Azoff owned about 3 million Live Nation shares as of Dec. 21, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Liberty Media's stake will rise to 26.4 percent with the purchase, according to the statement.
Live Nation rose 3.7 percent to $ 9.31 at the close in New York. The stock has gained 12 percent this year. Shares of Englewood, Colorado-based Liberty Media advanced 1.7 percent to $ 116.01 and have tacked on 49 percent this year.

Teen's tank top made others too uncomfortable at Planet Fitness
Allison Roth, 17, says she usually wears a T-shirt to the franchise on Highland Road in Waterford Township. She says she goes nearly every day to get in shape for lacrosse.
When the cold snap finally broke this week, she wore a tank top to the gym instead.
"I was walking to go get water [at the gym] and a lady came up to me and she said that the tank top I was wearing was making others feel uncomfortable, and they could either give me a shirt to wear or I could leave," Roth tells FOX 2's Andrea Isom.
Roth was upset by what she was told, so she left the gym and has since canceled her membership.
Roth's mother says she approves of the shirt and that Roth's grandmother even bought it for her.
But rules are rules - but what exactly were the rules Roth signed up to follow when she purchased a membership?
Isom spoke with some other gym members and got mixed feedback. Some say they wear whatever they want, others say they were told at sign-up their outfits couldn't reveal too much skin.
Roth says when she and her mom signed up they were not informed about a dress code.
"This obviously isn't a judgement free zone and I'd like to spend my money elsewhere," Roth says.
Planet Fitness issued a statement saying: "Planet Fitness locations are owned and operated by individual franchisees. We have been made aware of this incident and we are looking into the situation."

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Steve Madden (SHOO) are higher by 2.32% to $33.07 in pre-market trading on Friday after the company announced it has completed the acquisition of the privately held Dolce Vita for $60.3 million.
Both Steve Madden and Dolce Vita design, market, and sell name-brand and private-label footwear.

Additionally, analysts at Sterne Agee raised their rating on Steve Madden to "buy" from "neutral" as a result of the Dolce Vita purchase.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates MADDEN STEVEN LTD as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate MADDEN STEVEN LTD (SHOO) a BUY. This is driven by several positive factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its reasonable valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, growth in earnings per share, notable return on equity and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:

OROVILLE — The City Council on Tuesday night overturned a Planning Commission decision to nix an 80-foot cellphone tower on Oro Dam Boulevard near Oroville Hospital.
The council voted 5-2 to approve a use permit for a cellphone tower at 2755 Oro Dam Boulevard.
About a dozen people spoke in favor of the tower to allow better cellphone coverage in Oroville's hilly terrain with many cellphone dead spots.
"We have to have better cellphone service in Oroville," Gail Hart said during comments.
On April 29, the commission denied a use permit to build a cellphone tower at 2755 Oro Dam Boulevard.
The location is adjacent to the flight path for helicopters landing and taking off from the Oroville Hospital helicopter launch pad, which raised some concerns.
The commission was of the opinion that the facility would negatively impact the health and safety on next-door properties, according to a city report.
The 80-foot "tower" with nine antennas and a microwave dish was proposed on the back of a 1.38-acre parcel about 400 feet from the helicopter pad behind the hospital.
Luis Topete, associate planner for the city of Oroville, said the city requires a use permit when cell towers are installed within 500 feet of residences.
Topete said one person who lived near the location had sent a letter objecting to the tower.
However, Topete said he had talked to a hospital employee in charge of new projects on July 12 who said the hospital was not concerned about the cell tower location.
Councilman David Pittman said he was not in favor of approving a cellphone tower at the proposed location that already had other obstacles in the flight area for medical helicopters such as the high electric transmission lines.
Pittman said as a former helicopter pilot, he was also concerned about the helicopters veering off path in stormy weather, and he was not in favor of placing anther obstacle near the flight path.
The applicant and Verizon Wireless representative Alan Heine said the Federal Aviation Administration did not prohibit the facility from being installed at the proposed location.
In addition, the helicopters had a more than 2,000-foot space to fly in to avoid the tower, he said.
They had looked at four locations and the current location was the only one that met all the requirements.
Heine said the Oro Dam location would give cellphone coverage in the downtown as well as in the two gullies along Oro Quincy Highway and Olive Highway in the foothills where cellphone coverage is sketchy. Some audience members cited the safety issues of not having cellphone coverage in many foothill areas.
Police Chief Bill LaGrone asked if Verizon would allow the city police and fire some space on the tower, and Heine said they did accommodate public safety communications.
Vice Mayor Thil Chan-Wilcox motioned to approve the use permit conditioned upon the accommodating city public safety communications and installing a tower that looks like a tree.
Councilman Gordon Andoe seconded the motion with Mayor Linda Dahlmeier, and Councilors Cheri Bunker and Jack Berry voting yes.
Councilmen Pittman and Al Simpson voted no.
Pittman said he appreciated all the comments and he believed their reports, but he still had reservations.
Simpson said he lives near the helicopter flight path, and he is concerned that the pilots already fly pretty low.

Casein (ON) vs. Blend (ON Pro-Complex)
I was wondering what you guys would suggest as a better protein for my situation.
My dimensions: 5 foot 9 inches tall, 170 pounds, more body fat than I would like, but my current goal is putting on as much muscle as I can. If I was ANY sort of cut I would say I'd weigh 150-155. All of my extra body fat is concentrated in my belly and my legs, so while I am wearing clothes I appear very well proportioned and fit. For additional perspective, I supplement with creatine, have been since I started lifting again. I went from 160 to 170 in about 6-8 weeks while taking it. My lifts all increased dramatically.
Currently, I use ON's 100% Casein as a snack during the day, usually in-between meals. Sometimes if my schedule dictates, I will use it as a meal replacement. It is always mixed with a heaping spoon full of Trader Joe's Natural Peanut Butter, and on days I am not working out, I will add 5g creatine as well (I supplement 10g of creatine per day). I always use milk to mix it.
At first, I bought it to drink before bed. However, because I work out at night (get to the gym between 9 and 10 and my workout lasts about 1.5 hours) my last meal of the day comes extremely close to when I sleep (maybe 1.5 hours, even closer on some days if I'm running late and arrive at the gym later than I'd like). That being the case, I no longer use it for that purpose.
Since I am about to run out, I am wondering if the Pro-Complex by Optimum Nutrition would be a better choice for me when I go back to the store for a new tub. Again, I will use it for purposes of a snack or meal replacement in the afternoon or early evening, if I need to eat and cannot, for whatever reason, take in a solid meal.
Thank you for your responses.
Casein is a slower absorbing protein and may be useful for before bed but honestly I don't think you need to really worry about details like that. Sounds like you could stand to clean up your diet in general.
Get your diet in check, and then start adding supplements to really reach your full potential.
I'm not sure it would really matter. I normally use whey and mix it with milk. The main thing is to stick with a decent brand (ON is fine) and make sure what you are doing is cost-effective.
Your routine and diet are going to make a LOT more difference than your particular type of protein.
Personally I think caesin is over rated in general, but to each their own.:WEIGHT~13:

Facts and Events
Her mother died before she was yet ten years old and her father died while she was yet in her teens.
After the death of her parents she moved from Kansas to Ottawa County, Michigan, where she met and married her first husband.
At the time of her first marriage she was probably living with her father's brother Samuel B Wilson and his wife Susan (Newton) Wilson.

She calls them her little work force.
They arrive daily in navy and khaki pants and skirts and white, navy and light blue shirts.
If she spies a loose waistband in the bunch, she whips out the zip ties and threads them through two belt loops for a quick fix. If a new student shows up in jeans, she guides him or her to one of several closets, where boxes and boxes of uniforms are divided into S, M, L, shirts, pants, shorts, and skirts.
Take a few, she says.
"When you look like you're ready to work, your mind shifts," says Sue Boyd, principal at Azalea Elementary, home of the oldest mandatory uniform policy in Pinellas County public schools.
Boyd, who has led A-rated Azalea for 11 years, is a believer. But mention mandatory school uniforms, and you're likely to hear a chorus of diverging opinions.
"What's next?" says Cary Siegel, a father of five school-aged children and president of Carwise Middle's school advisory council. "They need to talk and walk the same?"
On Tuesday, Pinellas school superintendent Julie Janssen unveiled a proposal to require uniforms in all schools through the eighth grade as soon as next year. Right now, 23 schools mandate uniforms — all elementaries.
"If you walk on campus of a school that has a uniform, it's a totally different feel," says Janssen. "It levels the playing field for economics and it makes the statement that we're all here for the same reason."
But the most-often cited research suggests that as much as educators and some parents like uniforms, there is no evidence that they are responsible for fewer disciplinary issues or better grades.
"Instituting a uniform policy can be viewed as analogous to cleaning and brightly painting a deteriorating building in that on the one hand it grabs our immediate attention," wrote researchers David Brunsma and Kerry Rockquemore in a 2001 study on the subject for The Journal of Educational Research. "On the other hand, it is only a coat of paint."
Even with uniforms, Brunsma argues, distinctions are clear — some have newer uniforms, better jewelry, more expensive shoes. But talk to a mom like Shelli Cutting, and she says it's easy and inexpensive, running about $20 or so per uniform.
"There's no fight," Cutting says of helping daughter Faith, a third-grader at Azalea, get ready for school. "It is what you have to wear."
It stifles creativity, counters Keri Halpain, who has a daughter in fourth grade and a son in eighth. She believes uniforms would interfere with the important lessons her children are learning on how to dress themselves appropriately.
"I'm absolutely against it," says Halpain, president of the PTA at Thurgood Marshall Fundamental Middle School in St. Petersburg.
The American Civil Liberties Union agrees, saying a policy like the one the Pinellas school district is considering obstructs personal freedom.
"It is an arbitrary, heavy-handed intrusion into the most fundamental individual rights: the rights of parents to determine how best to rear their children and the right of students to express their individuality, subject only to parental control," says Joyce Hamilton Henry, director of the mid Florida regional office for the ACLU.
Henry said that if Pinellas did move to required uniforms, it must include an opt-out for students with religious objections.
Since Janssen announced mandatory uniforms among a slew of other proposed reforms, some School Board members applauded the idea. But it's also been criticized as a distraction.
University of South Florida education professor Sherman Dorn wrote about the proposal on his blog, comparing it to a move Bill Clinton made in 1995 when he was in political hot water: Clinton applauded the school district in Long Beach, Calif., for requiring uniforms.
Siegel, the father of five, said he immediately wondered why such a controversial idea would surface now. "With the significant issues facing our school district, I think it's surprising they would spend any effort on the dress code," he says.
Both Halpain and Siegel noted that while public schools are entertaining uniforms, the corporate workplace has increasingly adopted more flexible dress codes over the last 20 years.
Janssen says she doesn't pretend uniforms are the cure-all for student achievement.
"I think it's one piece that takes away another distraction," she says. "I think it sends a message that we're serious about education, and it's just making one point among the hundreds of others."
Around the corner from Azalea Elementary, Azalea Middle School principal Teresa Anderson says she understands why parents oppose it. Two years ago, after all, it was parents who voted down her school's effort to impose uniforms.
But Anderson sees the issue from a different perspective.
Every morning, she stands in the courtyard, greeting children as they arrive. With each "Good morning!" she homes in on a host of dress code violations: ripped clothes, low-cut blouses, baggy jeans, spaghetti straps, leggings topped by a too-short shirt.
Silly though they may seem, these infractions threaten to distract from the reason students come to school, Anderson says.
"Sweetheart," she calls to an eighth-grade girl wearing skin-tight denim shorts with rolled cuffs. "Are those fingertip length?"
After stretching her fingers to her sides, the girl agrees to unroll the cuffs until they comply.
Within 30 minutes before first period, Anderson and her colleagues have zip-tied at least three pairs of saggy pants, draped one low-cut blouse with a jacket, ordered one girl to cover her exposed back and sent about 10 students to the office to correct their clothing.
If uniforms were required, Anderson said, this part of her job would be moot.

Can Intel Invest Its Way Out of its Rut?
When CEO Paul S. Otellini said earlier this year that Intel (INTC) would invest $7 billion to upgrade its U.S. manufacturing plants, it looked like an example of the world's dominant chipmaker making aggressive moves while others struggled. But behind the scenes, top executives and directors were engaged in fierce debate. Though the company has a long history of investing heavily during downturns, several board members questioned whether the traditional strategy still made sense, say sources familiar with the discussions. Not only did the economy look rougher than at any time in Intel's history, but in recent years the company's huge investments haven't helped its stock.
Otellini prevailed on the investment issue. But the board extracted concessions: Directors pressed him to slash expenses, with 6,000 layoffs and the closing of several aging factories. Merit payouts were eliminated. And the compensation committee, led by former Federal Communications Commission Chairman Reed Hundt, tied executive pay to stock market performance more tightly than ever before. Base salaries have been frozen, and other compensationplus or minus—stock options and grants that often total 10 times salary—will be determined by how Intel shares do relative to a basket of peers'. The moves "are intended to focus employees at this critical inflection point on creating sustained increases in our stock price," Hundt's committee wrote in the company's proxy statement.
Otellini may have a tough time claiming all his money. Intel is still far and away the preeminent maker of the chips powering PCs, with a market share of 82%—near its all-time high. The company also has a new family of more sophisticated chips that is winning converts, from Apple (AAPL) and Cisco Systems (CSCO) to General Electric (GE). But investors are unimpressed. The company's stock has dropped nearly 40% over the past five years as big institutions such as Fidelity Investments, T. Rowe Price (TROW), HSBC Holdings (HBC), and BlackRock (BLK) dumped the majority of their holdings. "Intel is kind of stuck in limbo," says David Eiswert, a portfolio manager with T. Rowe Price.
Their concerns were fueled by Intel's first-quarter earnings report on Apr. 14. Although Otellini called a bottom in PC demand, Intel's net income tumbled 55% and he declined to provide revenue guidance for the year.
The question for investors is the same one Otellini and his board tangled over: Can Intel still afford to lead the technology industry the way it has in the past? For decades, Intel poured billions into its plants to crank out ever-more-powerful microprocessors. Customers scrambled to get PCs with the latest chips as soon as they came out, paying a premium that boosted Intel's profits so it could start the investment cycle all over again.
But few customers focus on chip speeds anymore. They're fast enough. At the same time, PC sales are slowing. Intel's virtuous circle looks as if it could break down. Revenues last year, at $37.6 billion, were about the same level as in 2005. Last year's net income, at $5.3 billion, was 40% lower than four years earlier. Investors openly question whether it's time for Intel to ease up on its capital investments. "This company is at the stage where people are wondering what the growth potential is," says analyst Uche Orji of UBS (UBS).
Otellini has no interest in slowing down. Instead, he's intent on reviving sales in Intel's core PC business while guiding the company into brand-new growth markets. He sees a promising opportunity to diversify with a new family of chips called Atom for any gadget that needs processing power and access to the Internet, from a Web-connected television to a cash register at Wal-Mart (WMT) that accesses current prices and offers shoppers customized coupons. Such businesses could add $10 billion to Intel's sales by 2011, he says. "[Atom is] an entry vehicle to be able to use the best of our technology to go into new markets," Otellini says.
Many large investors are skeptical because they've been burned by Intel's diversification plans before. The company spent tens of billions in the late 1990s trying to push into new markets during the heady dot-com years, only to write off most of the investments after the bust. Then in late 2003, it allowed rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to get the jump on Intel's main profit engine, the lucrative corporate server market, with energy-efficient, high-performance chips that customers loved. Intel clawed its way back two years later. But investors point out it had only AMD to beat amid a massive jump in demand from China, India, and other developing economies.
Today Intel faces headwinds from a weak global economy, and in the growth businesses it's targeting, a slew of deep-pocketed, seasoned incumbents including Qualcomm (QCOM), Texas Instruments (TXN), and Nvidia (NVDA). The big clash will be over new types of mobile-computing devices, from advanced cell phones to inexpensive netbooks to just-emerging products in between. This market could be twice as big as the traditional PC market.
Qualcomm and others are using a rival chip architecture, created by a company called ARM Holdings, that can run all day without draining a device's battery life, unlike Intel's chips. The rivals are also courting Microsoft (MSFT) and other developers to create consumer-friendly software that runs on their chips before Intel can strike. Eiswert at T. Rowe Price says the sheer number of competitors presents a challenge: "It's all of them against Intel."
Intel needs to make heavy investments so that Atom can become as energy-efficient as those from the ARM camp by next year. Without lower-power chips, Intel may well see device makers turn to competitors. "It's a race right now to see who will get there first," says Qualcomm CEO Paul E. Jacobs.
Intel's board is making Otellini and his team stake much of their pay on success. This year, the top 21 executives received "outperformance stock units," in place of their usual stock options and restricted stock. The value of the units, which vest over three years, will be pegged to how Intel's stock performs relative to the 15 tech companies in the S&P 100 index, including IBM (IBM), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), and Microsoft. It's not just this year's pay on the line either. Otellini holds options on 5.6 million Intel shares, from grants dating back to 1999. All of them are under water.
The CEO and his team face more independent board oversight, too. In January, Jane E. Shaw, 69, a former pharmaceutical executive, was named to take over as chairman next month from Craig Barrett, the former Intel CEO. It will be the first time that an outsider has taken that role. Shaw, Hundt, and other board members declined requests for interviews.
Yet the company's executives have a clear view of their long-term goal. In January, at the chipmaker's annual gathering of its sales team at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Executive Vice-President Sean M. Maloney, who heads sales and marketing, told employees Intel was not insulated "from the mother of all downturns." But Intel's risk-taking, he said, has paid off with world-changing technologies. "The worst thing for us to do is avoid experimenting, trying new stuff to expand the market," Maloney says.

Only Lovers Left Alive is that rare thing – a genre film that reinvents the genre.
As Susan Wloszczyna writes in a sharp and perceptive review from 2014, very little can "compete with the fabulously aloof and effortlessly cool creatures of the night lurking in Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive. They don't need the sun to sparkle. They are superstars illuminated from within.
Not that Jarmusch's denizens of the dark are so mundane as to be directly referred to as vampires during the course of this pleasurably droll and languorous soak in a pool of comical musings, nostalgic longing and sorrowful loss. They are more like supreme beings, too good for the mundane and crassly disposable 21st-century chaos that exists outside their carefully curated domains. The domestic fortresses where they doze during daylight hours are bursting with rare books, objets d'art, collectible musical instruments, exotic fabrics, ancient electric gadgets and other relics culled from the many centuries they have existed amongst us lesser mortals.
Like most of Jim Jarmusch's films, the emphasis is not on action but interaction—especially the verbal kind. And atmosphere. Loads of atmosphere, down to the sounds of far-off howls and crimson-red Gothic lettering during the opening credits. As usual, his pacing is decidedly unhurried—the less kind might say sluggish—but it is made more than tolerable by the presence of a pair of exceedingly appealing lead actors.
Tom Hiddleston, with wavy dark hair cascading Veronica Lake-style over one eye and boasting a poet's slim-hipped physique, Hiddleston is a [superb] as a woeful and weary loner who finds solace in collecting classic guitars and penning mournfully hypnotic mood music. The only thing that truly relieves his gloom is his spouse and soulmate, Tilda Swinton's more upbeat Eve. This runway-ready vision in a fawn-hued apparel, sunglasses and leather gloves while topped by a tangled mop of beige hair resides across the globe in Tangier, but stays in touch with her Apple iPhone.
Despite the distance between them, Jarmusch cleverly signals their psychic connection to one another from the first scene when a spinning 45-rpm record fills the screen and rockabilly queen Wanda Jackson's witchy wail resounds on the soundtrack. That hypnotic image dissolves into the sight of two reclining figures going round in a circle, seemingly in the same room yet miles apart.
The story, such as it is, revolves around a concerned Eve paying her beloved Adam a visit, which requires booking a night-time-only flight and selecting just the right fake passport.Why they are apart is not fully explained, though we are left to guess it has to do with Eve's close ties to Christopher Marlowe. Yes, that Christopher Marlowe, the Elizabethan tragedian whom some believe—including Jarmusch—wrote the plays attributed to Shakespeare. He, too, is a vampire but less than thriving. The conceit that he is still around, hiding out in Morocco and supplying fresh untainted blood to Eve comes a bit out of nowhere, but John Hurt invests both pathos and humor into the role.
It is just one of the ways that Jarmusch, who with his legendary shock of white hair could be a cool vampire himself, allows his characters to toy with supernatural lore instead of over-explaining their lifestyles. Fearing contamination from feeding on humans directly, Adam, posing as Dr. Faust, gets his supply of hemoglobin by bribing a hospital worker who goes by the name of Dr. Watson (Jeffrey Wright). He also employs the services of Ian (Anton Yelchin), a none-too-swift kid who may or may not have tipped off others about the existence of Adam and his underground recordings.
Ian, who is a real bloodhound when it comes to fulfilling his master's craving for rare guitars, doesn't seem to question Adam's nocturnal habits or the fact that his bathroom is perpetually out of order. The only time he gets suspicious is when his delivery of a Gretsch Chet Atkins gets Adam reminiscing about seeing rocker Eddie Cochran of Summertime Blues fame—who died in 1960—perform while using that model. Ian pipes up: 'You saw Eddie Cochran play?' 'On YouTube,' quickly explains Adam, covering his tracks. It's akin to Bela Lugosi saying, 'I never drink—wine.'
The arrival of Ava, Eve's brazenly bratty little sister who is given a mischievous spin around the seductive bloodsucker block by Mia Wasikowska, soon up-ends the order of their carefully maintained universe. But the best parts are when we get to witness the reunion of Adam and Eve, sipping blood in aperitif glasses or slurping it in Popsicle form, driving around the ruins of a downtrodden Detroit in a vintage sports car (when Adam mentions the Motown Museum, Eve begs off: 'I'm more of a Stax girl myself') and sharing ancient memories of acquaintances past."
Everything about the film is meticulously detailed, and the gorgeous score, composed principally by Jarmusch's own band, is the perfect accompaniment to the proceedings. The ruins of Detroit, the back alleys of Tangier, and a seemingly endless round of intercontinental flights blend together to create a commentary on the passing of time, coping with changing technology, of the long view that 500 years of existence can bring to one, and the daily need for blood – now obtained through blood banks and other semi-legal means (most of the time) – as a constant factor in continued existence.
What makes the film so ravishing is the intoxicating camera work, the dim yet pungent lighting, and the mood, feel, atmosphere and eternal timelessness that the film conveys. This isn't another film about some roving vampires and their victims, and it isn't another franchise film cranked out by someone who once had promise with their first film, and then abandoned any pretense of artistic integrity to follow the Marvel or DC bandwagon. This is a slow moving, deeply felt, and passionately crafted film, which lingers in the mind long after the last frame has faded from the screen.
Only Lovers Left Alive does nothing less than create a whole new way of looking at the "undead."

April 2017 - Niobe (Nye-OH-bee) was a woman in Greece - in Thebes - a long long time ago (in the story). She was the daughter of Tantalus, and so she lived under a curse. Niobe had seven children, boys and girls, who were called the Niobids, meaning children of Niobe (I don't know what happened to their dad; he is not in the story). Niobe was very proud of her children, and she was proud that she had so many children. Too proud: she became hubristic (arrogant). She bragged that she had seven children, while the goddess Leto (LEE-toe) only had two (Apollo and Artemis). So Niobe thought she was better than Leto.
Apollo and Artemis shoot Niobe's children
Athenian red-figure vase, about 450 BC
But it is very dangerous to brag that you are better than the gods. Leto heard about Niobe and sent her two children, Apollo and Artemis, to show Niobe who was really better. Apollo and Artemis, who are both very good at shooting with a bow and arrow, shot every one of the Niobids with their arrows and killed them - killed all of Niobe's children. As Niobe stood there crying over her dead children, Leto came and said, "Now who has more children?"
No matter how skilled or lucky people are, they are never any match for the gods. People need to remember their place, and not try to be stronger or wiser or smarter than the gods, or bad things will happen to them. Hubris also plays a big part in the Iliad, and in the story of Arachne.

Brenda Hale DUP MLA for Lagan Valley has challenged the Environment Minister on planning guidelines and policies which deny Lisburn City the opportunity to attract jobs from major office developments.
Under current planning policies any office development of more than 5000square feet cannot be located outside Belfast City Centre.
"It means that only modest locally based offices will be given planning permission in places such as Lisburn," said Mrs Hale. "It is a policy which needs to be changed. It is discriminatory and makes no planning or economic sense.
"Like all major urban centres Lisburn City centre has been hit by the current recession and changing shopping habits. One way to reverse this and increase footfall in the centre is to provide greater employment opportunities."
She went onto say, "City centres are not well placed for industrial type investment but service industries including office developments are suitable to such locations. Lisburn has a number of major sites that could be used for large scale office development, yet these would not be even considered under the current planning policies.
"With its excellent infrastructure it has good connections to other parts of NI , the Irish Republic and GB and has already proved its attractiveness as an investment location," she said.
"Outside the city centre the Maze site itself has vast potential but this could all be curbed if planning policies are not amended. Why should major office development be concentrated in Belfast? It doesn't even make sense ."

Thanks Neil, that at least explains a few things as to why i couldn;t get it to work
wat is it that you do in magpie that makes it come up with the following error message wen u try 2 save it?

would things like changing players nationalities, ages and county squads do anything to make the error message in my last post come up?
if so which ones?

When is editor for 2005 release?
At present there will not be one as the encryption routines are completely different and I don't have the faintest idea how to begin decrypting.
is there anyway you can change a teams budget?
The way i change a team's budget is to increase player salaries. If a team has more expensive players then the beginning budget goes up. So if your 20-man squad are all getting paid 50,000 then the team salaries is 1,000,000. This would boost your budget to around 900,000, depending on the team rankings at the beginning of the game. Hope that helps.

Hm.. i get the integer error all the time, just keep saving after each step. Anyhow i am working on an all time team for all the national teams except for zimbabwe, bangladesh etc.
I have nearly done australia, and i soon finished that i will put it up, for people to check. Of course i dont know like preferences for some of the older players, so maybe you could help with that.
should be within the next couple of days, australia includes, taylor, lillee, miller etc.
i probably wont put bradman in it, unfair for the other teams.
And working on a Battrick Noob Guide-still a fair way to go.
I had an idea for an all time team as well. Here's my list

We learn the names of Jane's wife and daughter in this episode. His wife's name was Angela and his daughter's name was Charlotte Anne.
Lisbon: (about Danny) He's a carny like you used to be?
Jane: Uh, carny is a very broad term, Lisbon. Danny is more showbiz, but it's... it's been a while.
Lisbon: Before last night, when was the last time you talked to him?
Jane: When I called to tell him what Red John had done.
Rigsby: Here's another fine mess, eh? They really found Jane holding the murder weapon?
Lisbon: Yes, they did. Hightower twisted some arms at Sac P.D. It's a joint investigation. We share the sandbox, but CBI is taking the lead. (Rigsby grins) I don't know why you're smiling.
Rigsby: Well, it's a new angle at least, right? I mean, he's never been a murder suspect before.
Danny: My sister was the only good, clean, honest thing that I had in my life and you ran off with her. You took her away from me, away from what she knew. So yeah, I've been mad at you, very mad.
Jane: I didn't- I didn't take her away. She didn't want the carny life. She hated it. She wanted to get out. We both did. And you know how hard that is. That was- that was our thing. That's what we did together. We escaped together.
Danny: Nice escape plan, bro. You got her killed.
Jane: Thanks for reminding me.
(at the cemetery where Jane's family is buried)
Jane: You know, this is the first time I've been here, since the funeral.
Danny: Why is that?
Jane: Because they're not here.
Danny: Guilt is for marks. You know that, right?
Jane: Yeah.
Lisbon: You heard a gunshot and ran in to help?
Jane: Yes, I did. I'm no hero. I just did what any person would do in that situation.
Lisbon: No one is calling you a hero.
Jane: Really? Good.
Lisbon: (about Jane) Detective, could you uncuff this one now, please?
Detective Reece: He's still a suspect.
Lisbon: And he's not gonna leave town. Release him into my custody. You know he's not good for it. Zero connection to the victim.
Jane: Nada. Niente. Zip. Naught. I could go on.
Jane: Excellent work finding us.
Lisbon: I am very unhappy with you. (about Danny) Is he in there?
Jane: Yeah.
Lisbon: Bring him out. No funny business or I will shoot to kill.
Jane: You're very persuasive. We'll be right out.
Danny: Eesh. I'm sorry I asked to come. Who knew a trip to the cemetary would be such a downer?
Danny: I didn't kill Landon.
Jane: I smell deception. But it's hard to tell with you, because you're kind of a sociopath, like all the great con men.
Danny: I am great, huh? First compliment you ever gave me, I can recall.
Sam: (to Jane) What's with the state trooper?
Pete: Yeah, it's like unreal, huh? A Jane working with the law.
Lisbon: How do I look like a cop?
Sam: Oh please, look like Cagney and Lacey had a baby, called it pepper.

site overwhlemed (shut-down) by spiders and feeders
I have four sites, each with their own installed code base, on one hosting account. My sites go down, all at the same time, from time to time. This last time my host was able to tell me "your site was aggressively retrieved by several indexing/searching sites at one time, Yahoo! DE Slurp, Yahoo! Slurp, msnbot, msnbot-media, Sphere Scout, Feedfetcher-Google, Baiduspider+, Moreoverbot, ScoutJet, Googlebot"
I would restart the server and it would immediately go down again due to a limit of 15 consecutive connection limit to mysql.
I see my traffic using google analytics and do not have much traffic at all so I am at a loss about how to prevent this or solve this problem.
I don't know which pages they are looking at/indexing.
I read somewhere that you can offload your rss feed to feedburner but I don't know if that would solve this issue or not.
Any ideas are much appreciated!

2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe
BMW made a big mistake when it brought the 135i to the U.S. in 2007. If the company had anticipated building an M version of the 1 series, it should have brought out only the 128i at launch, reserving the twin turbo for the later M version. As it stands, the 2011 1 Series M Coupe hits the road with only 35 more horsepower than the 135i.
Compare that with the 105 horsepower difference between the M3 and 335is.
So the question becomes, does the 1 M Coupe really earn its M badge? The 1 M Coupe gets a wider track width, by 1.73 inches, than the 135i. Flared fenders and a different front air dam distinguish the M version from the 135i, although it could be mistaken for a custom body kit.
The M model gets some different suspension work and a variable slip differential. Robust brakes give the 1 M Coupe extra stopping power, which can be more finely applied.
BMW deems that this car's performance upgrades are enough to earn it the M badge.
Both models use BMW's N54 twin turbocharged 3-liter engine, although the M model has been tuned for more horsepower, boasting 335 hp along with its 332 pound-feet of torque. The 1 M Coupe features an M button on the steering wheel, which remaps the throttle for more aggressive response. And if you push the traction control button, the letters MDM appear on the instrument cluster.
With the 1 M Coupe you have a choice of three colors, compared with 13 for the 135i. The M3's active suspension technology is not available for the 1 M Coupe, nor is BMW's Double Clutch Transmission, which you actually can get on the 135i. But you could argue that limiting the 1 M Coupe to a six-speed manual makes it more of a pure sports car.
So the 1 M Coupe doesn't seem to have a whole lot over the 135i. Then again, it is not too much more expensive either, coming in at about seven grand more than the 135i's base $39,050.
M mode
When you push its start button, the 1 M Coupe gives a satisfying growl, but it is only a few kittens louder than the 135i. The M steering wheel is nice and thick, easy to grip while sawing through a turn, but that same wheel can be had as an option on the 135i.
The sport tuning of the 1 M Coupe's suspension is not so rigid as to make the ride uncomfortable. As with other BMW models, the car delivers very civilized comfort in the way it handles the rough spots in the road. It was a far cry from the jolting delivered by the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS.
This six-speed manual is the only transmission available for the 1 M Coupe. BMW doesn't offer its DCT.
When you activate M mode and aim for BMW's 4.9-second 0-to-62 mph time, the rear wheels give a little as the torque launches the car forward. The tachometer gives an indication of when to shift with a nice yellow zone from 6,500rpm to 7,000rpm. The shifter slots neatly through its gate, and second gear takes the car past 60 mph. The foot-down power spools up smoothly and inexorably, never seeming to let up.
On an excellent road with a ridiculous number of turns, some a series of esses, some tight hairpins going up a mountain, and some broad sweepers, the 1 M Coupe got to show its handling prowess. The brakes allowed good modulation ahead of the corners, and the car remained stable under even heavy braking. The wheel guided the car neatly into the corners.
But then the traction control light flashed like an overcoat-wearing pervert at a cheerleader parade, cutting off power to the rear wheels as the car tried to keep itself under control. With power reduced, it slogged out of the corner, destroying what might have been a sublime experience.
Through turn after turn, the traction control stepped heavily on the car. We had dutifully pushed the M button before tackling this road, and began looking everywhere around the cabin for some way of suspending traction control. And before being forced to look at the manual, we spotted it: a button with a traction control symbol next to the word off, at the top of the dashboard.
Pushing that button did not, in fact, turn the traction control off. Rather, it lit up those MDM letters on the instrument cluster, which put the car in M Dynamic Mode. After a little griping about how BMW should have caused that traction control mode to come on when we pushed the M button, it was back to road testing.
The M button on the wheel only changes the throttle mapping. You have to push the traction control button for M Dynamic Mode.

SOUTHERN Water has said it is not responsible for the deaths of more than 900 fish after the release of wastewater into a river.
The fish were found dead after "serious pollution" was released in the river from Fairplace Pumping Station in Burgess Hill.
Southern Water released a statement claiming pollution further upstream was responsible and this is now being investigated by the Environment Agency.
A spokesman for the company said yesterday: "Our staff discovered the dead fish while inspecting the river following an emergency release of wastewater further downstream.
"However, we don't believe this release killed the fish – we believe they had been dead for some time.
"Other pollution sources are believed to have contributed and are being investigated by the agency.
"Samples taken upstream of our release point are currently being tested.
"The ammonia levels in them, which would be toxic to fish, appeared to be very high, which is why the agency is investigating other pollution sources upstream of our release point."
Fish species including eel, brown trout and roach were found dead across a 1.2-mile stretch of River Adur East in north Burgess Hill.
Southern Water previously blamed its waste water for the "regrettable" incident and said that its response had been prompt.

ALLEN PARK -- Kyle Vanden Bosch and Stephen Tulloch each played five seasons with the Tennessee Titans, but when their contracts expired, neither player was re-signed by the organization.
Vanden Bosch signed with the Detroit Lions in 2010. By now you've probably heard the story -- the one where Lions coach Jim Schwartz, a former defensive coordinator with the Titans, was waiting in the defensive end's driveway at midnight when free agency opened.
Tulloch landed in Detroit a year later, signing a one-year deal with the Lions in 2011, and scoring a multi-year extension this offseason. Before reaching an agreement with Detroit, the linebacker was convinced he would spend the rest of his career with the Titans, the team that drafted him in the fourth round out of North Carolina State in 2006.
Despite not being retained by Tennessee, a season after he finished second in the NFL with 160 tackles, Tulloch harbors no bitterness toward the franchise.
"They have their reasons with what they want to do with their organization, the direction they want to go in, and I can't be mad at them," Tulloch said. "I just appreciate the opportunity to play there so many years."
Vanden Bosch shares Tulloch's positive memories of his time with the Titans.
"There were no hard feelings. Going back, I wouldn't change anything."
Both players are looking forward to the return trip to Nashville, seeing familiar faces, including some old teammates. Still, Tulloch can help but feel the experience is going to be a little strange.
"It's going to be weird going back there, being on the other side of the field, in the visitors locker room, but all in all, our goal is to go out there and get a win and play the best ball we can play."
Tulloch feels he might have a slight edge against the Titans offensive line, a group that has three of the same starters from his time with the franchise.
"There's a lot that's familiar there," Tulloch said. "Obviously, I've practiced against those guys, the same o-line they have there, so I know what they're thinking, and I know how we're going to attack that."

TEL AVIV (May. 18)
The Israel army spokesman said today, in a special communique, that Israel had taken "appropriate measures" during the past 24 hours because of Egyptian troop concentration in Sinai.
The announcement came against a background of indications that Israeli officials remained convinced that there would not be any significant changes in the present calm on Israel's Egyptian border. However, it was said, that the precautionary measures were taken to avoid any Egyptian surprise move of a "prestige operation." The nature of the appropriate measures was not disclosed.
Informed sources here said that Egyptian troops have taken up positions in Sinai which in some locations are not far from positions of the United Nations Emergency Force units patrolling the Israeli-Egyptian border. They added that this was a move similar to that in 1960 when Egypt demonstratively posted troops near Israel's southern border after Israel mounted an action against Syria at Nuqueib, east of Lake Tiberias.
In another development in the tense Middle East situation, Syria was reported today by authoritative sources here to have rejected a proposal that the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization inspect both sides of the Israel-Syrian border for possible troop concentration. The request was made by Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, UNTSO Chief of Staff. Israel approved the request on condition Syria also did so.
Gen. Bull proposed a comprehensive inspection of the demilitarized zone as well as of areas adjacent to the border for heavy military equipment, new positions and troop concentrations. Gen. Bull first made the proposals on April 18 and then repeated them recently because of the area's growing tension. Observers here said Syria probably refused because of the strong arms and troop concentrations the Syrians have moved to Israel's border.

Stocks finished mixed Wednesday as investors expressed mild disappointment with the Federal Reserve's much-anticipated decision to prolong its Operation Twist bond maturity extension program. The central bank also lowered its expectations for U.S. gross domestic product growth in 2012, going to a range of 1.9%-2.4% from 2.4%-2.9%, and adjusted its projections for employment data to reflect slowing growth. Fears about a global slowdown intensified Thursday after HSBC and Markit Economics said that the flash China manufacturing purchasing managers index came in at 48.1 in June, sinking to a seven-month low despite the recent interest rate cut by the Chinese government. Levels below 50 point to contraction. The Hong Kong Hang Seng index settled down 1.3% and the Nikkei in Japan closed up 0.82%. Meanwhile, The Markit flash eurozone PMI composite output index came in at 46 in June, signaling that the private sector economy shrank at a rate unchanged from May. With the exception of a marginal increase in January, the survey has recorded continual contraction since last September, with the rate of decline having gathered significant momentum in the second quarter. The FTSE in London settled down by 0.99% and the DAX in Germany declined by 0.77%. In U.S. economic news, the Labor Department reported that weekly initial jobless claims for the week ended June 16 fell to 387,000 from an upwardly revised figure of 389,000. A level below 350,000 is associated with a consistent improvement in the unemployment rate. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com were expecting jobless claims of 380,000. The previously mentioned Philly Fed's business outlook survey fell to minus 16.6 in June, the weakest read going back to August 2011, from May's minus 5.8 figure. Economists were expecting a read of minus 3.5.

Regional Consultations on Draft Sanitary and Phytosanitary Bill ongoing in Nairobi, Kenya
East African Community Secretariat; Arusha, Tanzania; 14 December 2016:
A regional consultative meeting to finalize draft EAC Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Bill is ongoing in Nairobi, Kenya. The meeting, which was convened by the EAC Secretariat and the USAID East Africa Trade and Investment Hub, is being attended by Partner States' experts in trade, agriculture, health, livestock, food security, standards, legal, regional integration, and other stake holders.
Presiding over the opening session, the EAC Deputy Secretary General in-charge of Productive and Social Sectors, Hon. Christophe Bazivamo, highlighted the growing importance of sanitary and phytosanitary measures and noted that SPS had become an important topic of debate in international trade as well as regional integration.
Hon. Bazivamo informed the participants that the fundamental importance of SPS matters is linked mainly to Agriculture and trade in agricultural products, which is the mainstay of the economies of EAC Partner States. The EAC official acknowledged that agricultural trade continues to represent a notable portion of intra-EAC total trade flows and that there was enormous potential to increase and urged the EAC Partner States to adequately address and enforce issues around SPS measures and standards.
Taking stock of the progress, Hon. Bazivamo commended the EAC Secretariat, Partner States and non-state actors for the progress made and milestones reached in 2016. He noted that following adoption of the SPS Protocol in 2013; a strong foundation for supporting implementation of the Protocol had been laid. This includes finalization of SPS measures and setting in motion the process of developing SPS Bill. The SPS Bill is expected to facilitate effective implementation and enforcement of the SPS Protocol in the entire Community.
Hon. Bazivamo commended USAID East Africa Office for their sustained efforts in supporting Regional Integration and USAID East Africa Trade and Investment Hub for supporting the EAC SPS agenda.
Notes to Editor:
Article 108 (c) of the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community and Article 38 of the Protocol on the Establishment of the East African Community Customs Union underscores the need to harmonize sanitary and phytosanitary measures in order to facilitate trade within the community and other trading partners.
2016 has been a remarkable and eventful year in executing SPS related matters aligned to implementation of the EAC SPS Protocol. The approval of the food and feed safety, plant health and animal health SPS measures by the 34th meeting of the EAC Council of Ministers and development of the draft SPS Bill are significant achievements in the implementation of the EAC SPS Protocol.
