LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Famer Norm Duke of Clermont, Fla., will have an opportunity to move into a tie for third place on the all-time PBA titles list after advancing to the finals of the Pepsi PBA Elite Players Championship Wednesday at South Point Bowling Center.
Duke, currently tied with fellow hall of famer Mark Roth for fourth place on the PBA career titles list with 34, eliminated Bill O'Neill of Southampton, Pa.; Andres Gomez of Colombia, and Dan MacLelland of Windsor, Ontario, in the Elite Players Eliminator Round to reach the finals. Roth was in the crowd, watching as Duke defeat O'Neill, 484-438, in their two-game finale.
Pete Weber of St. Ann, Mo., who was eliminated in his final match Wednesday by Mike DeVaney of Murrieta, Calif., is third on the PBA titles list with 35, trailing leader Walter Ray Williams Jr. (47) and Earl Anthony (43). DeVaney knocked Weber out of the event, 473-425, to win his group's berth in the finals.
"Bowling in the Elite Players Championship was like bowling three different formats in one, so you can imagine what that can do with your mind," Duke said about surviving 30 qualifying games just to reach the Eliminator Round. "The physical part of the game is demanding enough, but mentally it's even more tiring. You start to space out after a while and lose track of the little things like where you're standing, how fast should I be throwing it, what ball you're using. The one thing that helps is you're not alone. I say to myself, look at the rest of the field – they're going through the same thing."
Regarding his quest to break his titles tie with Roth and catch Weber, the 47-year-old Duke said, "I look at everything I do now as to how will it round out my career. How much longer do I have? To be tied with Roth and have the chance to tie Weber, how great is that?"
In Wednesday's Eliminator Round, 16 players were divided into four groups for two-game elimination rounds. After each round, the lowest scoring player was eliminated. In addition to Duke and DeVaney, the other two players advancing to the Elite Players Championship finals were Australia's Jason Belmonte and Mike Scroggins of Amarillo, Texas.
Belmonte defeated Mike Fagan of Dallas, 473-407, to qualify for his fifth World Series television final, tying a World Series record for TV appearances set earlier in the event by Sean Rash of Montgomery, Ill. Scroggins eliminated Jason Couch of Clermont, Fla., 460-417, in their group's final game.
The 16 Eliminator Round qualifiers will also compose the field for the Lumber Liquidators Mark Roth-Marshall Holman PBA Doubles Championship which will be contested on Sunday as part of a four-day PBA World Series of Bowling television extravaganza at South Point.
Ronnie Russell of Marion, Ind., the top qualifier going into the Eliminator Round, was eliminated in the first game in Group A, but he will be the first player to select a doubles partner from among the remaining 15 during a special doubles selection session Thursday afternoon. After Russell selects his partner, the next highest qualifier will select a partner. That process will continue until the field of eight doubles teams has been determined. The doubles competition will be conducted Sunday afternoon as part of the World Series of Bowling's weekend television package.
Beginning Thursday at 5:30 p.m. Pacific, the PBA will produce the first of 14 television shows for delayed telecast on ESPN in a special arena in South Point's Exhibit Hall A. Admission is free for all of the shows.

Trumka Demands Real Reform on Wall Street, Across the Economy
by Seth D Michaels, Tue Sep 22, 2009 at 09:11:28 AM EDT
On Wall Street today, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is calling for tough new regulations on the financial industry and a new approach to making the U.S. economy work for working people.
Trumka spoke today at the New York Stock Exchange as part of the new AFL-CIO leadership team's national tour to set out a jobs-focused, progressive vision for the economy--and to fight back against the corporate agenda that left workers behind.
We've let wealth concentrate for too long, Trumka said. The past decade has shown us the folly of building an unfair and unequal economy that only works for a few, while working people pile up debt to get by. We need to be able to protect consumers from abuses by mortgage lenders and credit card companies and hold accountable those whose greed and irresponsibility have undermined the economy, Trumka said:
Banks and other financial institutions must be held accountable for making this mess that required trillions of dollars of our money to clean up. For the pain they've inflicted on families who face financial ruin--unemployment, wiped out pensions, foreclosures and bankruptcy.
We need a different model for our economy, where good jobs, not bad debts, drive our growth. Our real economy needs a financial system that will support it, not a high-risk system that only supports itself and the wiliest speculators.
Trumka supported President Barack Obama's call for a new consumer protection agency that would have real power to crack down on unfair practices. He also called for tougher regulations on the hedge fund and derivative trading that contributed to our economic crisis.
The banks that have been propped up with billions in public funds can't be allowed to go back to the way things were, Trumka said. We need to make sure they're subjected to oversight, and that our investment is turning into jobs and broad-based economic growth, not executive bonuses. Trumka promised that the union movement would take the lead in educating and mobilizing the public to fight back against finance-industry abuses.
Speaking on the Rachel Maddow Show last night, Trumka explained why we need to hold Obama and leaders in Congress to their promises and make sure they enforce real protections for consumers in the financial industry, because the current system has failed:
Today, Rachel, I talked to a woman in Atlanta, and she was making $1,162 a month on a fixed salary, and they gave her a $900 a month mortgage. That type of predatory lending should have been picked up by one of those agencies. It wasn't.
Trumka said that union members across the country will watch carefully to make sure elected leaders are looking out for working people, not big banks and corporations:
What we're going to do is make sure that they live by that. We'll educate our members, we'll mobilize our members. I think our members will hold them accountable on Election Day.
Trumka also spoke with Maddow about health care reform and the Employee Free Choice Act.

Baldwin Borough Manager John Barrett and the Baldwin Council have erased an initial for 2013 after Barrett has made cost-cutting and revenue-producing suggestions to the council during special budget meetings this fall, including one on Tuesday night.
But Barrett and the borough councilmen will have to become more resourceful if they are to approve Baldwin police Chief Michael Scott's request to add another patrol officer to his staff. Scott made that request on Tuesday, and Barrett said that the potential new hire would mean an additional approximately $70,695 per year in borough spending, including things like health insurance for the officer.
Chief Scott argued that, often, his department is only able to deploy three total patrol officers at one time in what he calls Baldwin's four police zones—north Baldwin, south Baldwin, the Route 51 corridor and The Residences of South Hills apartments complex.
Scott said that, since some officers are off of work for periods of time for things such as family medical leave, vacation, et al., it often becomes difficult to find appropriate levels of staffing while keeping overtime pay to a minimum. He also said that certain situations arise that require pulling officers away from their normal patrols.
"Any serious calls that come up, any backup that's needed for officers," Scott said, "one or two of the other officers from the other zones have to be there to cover them."
Scott said that, even if his department were to consider the borough as having only three zones (the Residences complex excluded), it is still difficult to have reliable service in each zone given the department's current staffing level.
"We have things that happen every day," Scott said. "We're running short because we're trying to cover this whole borough with one person in each section of the borough. It just doesn't work."
Councilman Michael Stelmasczyk pointed out that the borough's leaders have increased police spending recently for supervisory positions like sergeants and lieutenants, but Scott said that those expenses do not increase the department's roster size.
"The supervisors are also functioning as patrol officers," Scott said.
Countered Stelmasczyk, "You guys keep taking a bite every time. I just feel like I was not told the truth last year when we made these administrative changes. I was assured that we did not need the people."
But Scott and Mayor Alexander R. Bennett Jr. denied claiming, in preparation for the 2012 budget, that the department did not need more staff.
Councilman Larry Brown said that the confusion may come from the absence of an officer on long-term leave whom Baldwin police thought would be rejoining the force for 2012. It appears now that that officer will not return, causing a continued shortage in staffing.
"We'll be sitting here next year (having this same conversation)," Stelmasczyk said. "I can almost guarantee it."
Said Brown, "I can't believe that, with a community of 20,000, we're operating four districts with three patrol officers. Now, where does that serve public safety?"
Said Councilman John Ferris, "Where does that make sense?"
"It doesn't," Brown said.
Barrett has been adding revenue and decreasing expenses after seeing the borough's initial $1-million-plus shortfall for 2013. After Tuesday's meeting, he has made recommendations that range from instituting a 105-percent adjustment of a revenue-neutral millage rate to trimming thousands of dollars off of borough expenses like solid waste collection, fire vehicle fuel allocation, code enforcement, parks maintenance and others.
In fact, after dropping the borough's 2013 shortfall down to , Barrett's further-adjusted budget for the council on Tuesday night actually showed a $5,696 surplus. But that number does not factor in the new hire that Scott is asking for.
Stelmasczyk requested that, should the hiring of another officer be approved, other police items should be considered for cost-cutting.
The borough's next budget meeting will be Tuesday, Oct. 23, at 6 p.m. in the council chambers of the borough municipal building along Churchview Avenue. The meeting is open to the public, and should circumstances dictate, it would be moved to the municipal auditorium of the same building.
Public Works Director Mark Stephenson is expected to argue for another employee, as well, at the Oct. 23 meeting. Stephenson's potential new hire, Barrett said, would mean an additional approximately $52,000 per year in borough spending, including benefits.
Before the end of the year, the Baldwin Council must approve or reject Scott's and Stephenson's requests in line with approving a balanced 2013 budget. (UPDATE: Stephenson is no longer expected to ask for another Public Works employee.)

Photos from the event have been posted on the Venetian Macao Facebook page. In addition to accepting his award, Adam also performed Trespassing and Naked Love from his sophomore album. Watch Adam's red carpet arrival, his award acceptance, and performance in the video below:
Adam's win is not surprising, as he has had a large presence in China over the past year. In September he performed on The Voice of China, which was seen by 400 million viewers. Likewise, while there he appeared as a guest on the popular talk show "80's Talkshow." Not only has he had television exposure in China, but earlier this year he also performed in Shanghai as part of his We Are Glamily tour.
Although Adam wrapped up his international mini tour last month, he is doing a one-off concert in Del Mar, California on July 2 for his domestic fans. After that, fans will probably have to wait for his third album for more concerts. He has not spilled any details about his next album, so it is still a big mystery.
What do you think of Adam's Chinese Music Award?

SYDNEY (MarketWatch) -- Australian shares ended with small losses on Monday, with Greece yet to announce a deal with its private bondholders.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index /quotes/zigman/1653884/delayed AU:XJO -1.36% slipped 0.3% to 4225.10. The index gained 1% last week to notch its third straight week of gains. Australian shares have advanced 4.2% so far in 2012.
U.S. stocks ended mostly higher on Friday, with results from Microsoft Corp. /quotes/zigman/20493/delayed/quotes/nls/msft MSFT -0.96% and International Business Machines Corp. /quotes/zigman/230066/delayed/quotes/nls/ibm IBM -1.20% helping shore up sentiment.
Dow ends higher for 3rd straight week
Strong earnings from International Business Machines powered blue-chip stocks higher for the fourth consecutive session even as discouraging quarterly reports from other bellwethers kept the broader market flat.
Talks between Greece and its private creditors resumed last Wednesday but the parties have yet to reach an agreement.
Private holders of Greek government debt are being asked to take a loss on their holdings.
Greece needs to cement a deal with its private bond-holders before it can receive more financial assistance and avoid defaulting on a bond repayment due in March.
"Despite some disappointment that no deal has materialized, there has been no real panic selling either," said Stan Shamu, strategist at IG Markets.
Banks were broadly lower, with Westpac Banking Corp. /quotes/zigman/181294/delayed AU:WBC -1.62% /quotes/zigman/181293/delayed/quotes/nls/webnf WEBNF -1.06% shares down 1.1%.
With Nymex light sweet crude oil futures hovering around 98 cents a barrel and high grade copper futures declining in Asian electronic trading hours, miners were dragging on the Australian benchmark.
Shares of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. /quotes/zigman/329628/delayed AU:FMG -4.88% lost 3.7% while Newcrest Mining Ltd. /quotes/zigman/182419/delayed AU:NCM -0.92% /quotes/zigman/182418/delayed/quotes/nls/ncmgf NCMGF -2.33% shares were lower by 0.7%.
In the retail sector, shares of department store operator David Jones Ltd. /quotes/zigman/132194/delayed AU:DJS 0.00% pulled back from early losses to trade up 1.7% while BIllabong International Ltd. /quotes/zigman/264916/delayed AU:BBG 0.00% /quotes/zigman/264915/delayed/quotes/nls/bllaf BLLAF +2.06% shares rose 6.4%.
A tame reading on producer prices came out Monday ahead of Wednesday's key consumer price data.
"I think that CPI will be at a level that's almost irrelevant for policy makers," said Michael Heffernan, senior client adviser at Austock Stockbroking.

Locals with a hankering for herring and lox on their weekend bagels are in luck: Shelsky's Smoked Fish is coming to Smith Street.
Proprietor and namesake Peter Shelsky, who also runs Pete's Eats, which provides in-home cooking lessons and instructional cooking parties, says he wanted to bring the taste of Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn.
He hopes to open Shelsky's Smoked Fish within the next month.
Calling it "a Brooklyn nod to a traditional Lower East Side smoked fish place," Shelsky says his store will feature smoked salmon, house-pickled herring, house-cured herring, bagels, bialys and rugelach.
"All those goodies that will make you not have to schlep over the bridge," he says.
Shelsky is also trying to put a new spin on some traditional foods.
"I'm playing with traditional rugelach flavors and will do new ones as well," he says.
In keeping with trends, he's also taking a cue from the Brooklyn DIY food movement.
"I'm doing as much curing as I can," he said.
Shelsky's is opening on a block of Smith Street that has , but has been picking up steam of late. on the stretch.
Shelsky has worked at Café Sabarsky and Eleven Madison Park and he trained at the Institute of Culinary Education. Born and raised in Manhattan, Shelsky moved to Brooklyn ten years ago.
"It's a food I grew up eating, it's something that's a comfort food for me," he says. "But more so than that, I really just got sick of having to go into the city whenever I wanted my fix…and I spoke to people in the neighborhood and they all sort of felt the same way."
Indeed, residents are excited for the arrival of smoked fish.
"There's nothing like it in the neighborhood," says resident Thomas Batson, adding that "anything more specialty-oriented will do well around here."

A traveling Civil War exhibit will stop in Clinton this weekend.
The Clinton County Historical Society, in conjunction with the State Historical Society of Iowa, is sponsoring "The Fiery Trial: Iowa and the Civil War." The exhibit trailer will come into town Friday night and will set up at the St. Irenaeus Cultural Center, 2811 N. Second St. The exhibit will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
"There's a lot of Civil War buffs in town," Clinton County Historical Society Board member Bob Soesbe said.
According to the State Historical Society of Iowa website, the exhibit was unveiled on April 12, 2011, as part of activities for the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. The exhibit travels the state in a 32-foot trailer and is part of the State Historical Museum's educational outreach program to serve Iowa communities.
"When we can afford to bring one (exhibit) in, we like to do it," Soesbe said.
Soesbe said the historical society is excited to have the exhibit this weekend. He pointed out that Iowa had many volunteers who participated in the Civil War. He felt that military-themed events and exhibits are a great thing to bring into town.
"It's all part of history," Soesbe said.
The exhibit will include:
• A visual timeline of Iowa's participation in the Civil War.
• Panels about Iowans and their Civil War experiences.
• Information about Annie Wittenmyer, a sanitation agent for Iowa who oversaw the needs of Union Army soldiers.
• The impact of the Civil War on Iowa.
• The role Iowa played in the Civil Rights movement when it approved the right to vote for African-Americans.
• A computer program that allows visitors to research Civil War ancestors by person, town, township or congressional district.

Confident and reliable, our team of professionals will not rush the appointment; rather, they will take the time to understand the client's requirements and will ensure an experience that is enjoyable and effective. In contrast, the franchise establishment's therapists have less experience and, because of tight scheduling, tend to rush clients through, assembly-line fashion. Moreover, our services are a good value.
Will I need to disrobe?
For a Full-Body Massage, we recommend that the outerwear be removed. Moreover, our therapists utilize a conservative draping style suitable to protecting the privacy of each client. Chair Massage, on the other hand, is perfect for the client who prefers to be fully clothed, or has time constraints that make undressing undesirable. We offer both services.
Is there a dedicated room or private setting for the Full-Body
Massage or Body Scrub Package?
Yes, on the Mezzanine level of the SMU Dedman Recreation Center, we have a private room, located near the pool area. There is a private shower, changing area and restroom.
Will slippers or disposable underwear be provided for the Body
Scrub Package?
We encourage the client to bring a pair of rubber slippers to be worn while in the shower. However, the thong-style slippers recycled from previous pedicure treatments is discouraged. During the Body Scrub service, one-size-fits-most disposable panties will be provided to maintain a degree of modesty.

You are not dating my daughter if...
This list works for me.
1. His car vibrates from the bass that is cranked up on his stereo. For months I have been pointing out such cars to Catherine and saying, "Not allowed!�
2. He has shaggy hair. I cannot stand this late 70s/early 80s floppy hair that is back in style, with the long locks brushed forward in the face and then sprayed to look just right. Give me a buzz cut over that mess any day.
3. He doesn't understand the purpose of a belt coupled with well-fitting pants. No boy with the appearance of carrying a load in his drawers shall be permitted to darken our doorstep.
4. He uses the sentence, "Don't disrespect me!� First of all, disrespect is one of my least favorite words in the English language (right up there with "utilize� and "negativity�). When I taught high school, quite a few of my students told me that I was "disrespecting� them (or they made the same complaint about other teachers) because I called them out for not doing their work or told them to be quiet during class. I always found that charge so amusing.
5. He holds no value for the things he owns because Mommy and Daddy will always buy him a newer and better one if something happens.

First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes
Youre going to wear THAT?
This line struck a chord as inharmonious as a wrong key during a wedding march.
Mothers Day is over, my husband, Bill, grimaced the other day as I eyed the dated pants he planned to wear. These will be fine.
I zipped my lips. Maybe my mommy gene was in high gear.
Still, I couldnt slow my mind as it raced back to another mommy-ing memory a fashion faux pau that still has us laughing.
We were joining friends in Seattle for theater and dinner.
You should wear a jacket with that, I advised as we packed for the trip.
Bill assured me hed be fine.
We arrived to find the restaurant overflowing with prom dates; exquisite dresses matching detailed tuxedos. As we waited in the crowded foyer, Bill stepped aside, his crisp white shirt gleaming in the subdued light, dark tie and black slacks standing in close proximity to a table seated with high school students.
Excuse me, Sir! the young man called out as he waved his hand at Bill. Would you please bring us some more water?
My mommy-face registered crimson in the candlelight.
Call me overprotective, but experiences like that one have me checking out my mans wardrobe choices before he leaves the house.
However, it seems Im not the only woman who occasionally turns into Mom.
According to a survey by fashion website Style Pilot, two-thirds of the full-time employed men they surveyed depend on their wives -- even some mothers-in-law -- for fashion advice.
For the statistics and more surprising facts, visit Daily Mail online.
With this information in mind, maybe the playground rhyme I once chanted with other little girls has changed over time. Today more than one bride may be singing:
"First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes hubby in the baby carriage."

Do you have a story to tell about life in Liberty County years ago? Perhaps you know someone who has lived here for ages and remembers when Fort Stewart was not here. There are a few citizens in Liberty County who can recall that era, but time is running out. We must get their stories while we can.
I had a chance recently to talk with a physician who had strong ideas about health-care reform. I'm not going to tell you who it was because I didn't tell him I was doing a story and, really, I hadn't planned on it.
President Barack Obama deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. That's an indictment, not a compliment. Rather than living up to the honor, it should be Obama's mission to show he's thoroughly unworthy of it.
This weekend's Oktoberfest in Hinesville emphasizes that Vicki Davis and her crew, as well as a cadre of volunteers, are doing a good job bringing life to downtown.
My son-in-law, Dr. Ted Wansley, teaches at Whitewater High School in Fayette County and coaches the school's cross-country teams. He is also a national board certified teacher.
I want to thank my hosts, the 1st Brigade, for inviting me to experience the National Training Center for three full and busy days last week. I learned much from the experience and hopefully I will be more "in tune" when I cover the military beat because of that brief experience in the Mojave Desert.
Well, I managed to e-mail one story to my editor about the 1st Brigade's medical company, Charlie Company, by last Wednesday evening. Being computer challenged, I had help from several patient young soldiers.
A buzz-generating "Saturday Night Live" skit mocked President Barack Obama for not yet having accomplished anything. Not fair. Obama has been on a roll.
When Public Affairs Officer Maj. Vince Porter invited me to be the 1st Brigade's "guest" at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, Calif., last month, I jumped at the chance.
I am having an identity crisis. Identity crises are much more serious than mid-life crises. For the latter, you can buy a toupee or a convertible or visit a tanning salon. If you have an identity crisis, you tend to talk to yourself and people assume you are nuts.
We have a debate swirling through our neighborhood. No it's not whether the recent health-care reform bill will bankrupt America or improve our lives. And it's not whether Iran really has an underground nuclear facility designed to develop weapons.
The revelation of an Iranian uranium-enrichment facility buried in a mountain at an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps base near the religious city of Qom might seem ominous. If, that is, the Iranians were determined to develop a nuclear weapon.
A central aspect of the art of politics in Washington is getting information to the people. Determining what the White House, Congress and the people will focus on - and, just as important, what the content of debate will be - preoccupies politicians at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, and legions of lobbyists, pundits, strategists and consultants.
The East Liberty County American Legion Post 321 and the Liberty County Veterans Council have announced plans for a Veterans Day Parade through downtown Hinesville.
A young man asked recently if I would write a letter on his behalf, recommending him to the University of Georgia. That was an easy request. The lad is as bright as a newly-minted penny and I have no doubts that if UGA remains his first choice, he will excel there as he has done in one of the more academically demanding, private schools in our state.
Not a single person in my breakfast club has mentioned the "blood moon." And that includes me, until now. I wasn't really sure what it was even though my emails from some preacher have hammered me recently with a "better beware" kind of verbiage.
Editor, Lately your newspaper has printed several letters stating that Buddy Carter is just like Jack Kingston. These claims are extreme exaggerations and pretty farfetched.
It's good when the fire department is quiet, but the Midway Fire Department is the busiest department outside of Hinesville. The Midway volunteers do an excellent job with a quick response time. Many residents are not aware of Midway's coverage area, but the Midway Fire Department covers Midway's 4 square miles and 40 square miles of unincorporated areas of Liberty County. It also supports other fire departments when called upon for assistance.
Few acronyms raise the concern of elected officials, community leaders and military personnel as much as BRAC does.
In the week leading up to Independence Day, several news stories prompted us to contemplate what freedom means in 2014.
"I have gotten bad news and am much the worse for it.
Their histories, accurate and complete, are lost to time and buried with them and those who knew them. I wish I knew more because their stories would read like a page-turning novel.
I've always heard and read that it's a good idea to involve children in meal-preparation efforts, because they're more likely to eat dishes that they helped cook. That makes sense.
Q: The sassiness that I have heard so much about from my friends started a few months ago with my 5-year-old daughter.
Politically speaking, perhaps the biggest news story this election cycle is the historic loss of U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a primary election.
As Americans hop in their cars this summer, gasoline prices are at a six-year high. Thanks to surging demand and continued turmoil in Iraq, gas is quickly approaching $4 per gallon.
Editor, I saw an item in Friday's paper informing me about the fireworks at 9:30 p.m. at Cottrell Field on Fort Stewart. Having been raised here, I already knew that, but was surprised to see they were shooting off their fireworks at 9:30 p.m., instead of closer to July 5, if you catch my drift. As I reflected on years gone by, my blood began to boil.
Ogeechee Riverkeeper Day is Saturday over at Loves Seafood. That's a good thing.
Editor, The special purpose local option sales tax is another example of Liberty County spending taxpayers' money before it is even collected, making the taxpayers liable for county expenditures.
With the July 22 runoff elections fast approaching, I called Junior E. Lee, general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company in Greater Garfield, Georgia, to get his thoughts on the various races and to see who he thinks will make it to the finals of the November general election and who will be eliminated this round.

How do you figure the cost of a gallon of gas? Is there a extra cost to cross the Russell County line. It sure appears it is. What is even more confusing, is how do most all of the stations come up with the same price, down to the tenth of a cent.
This has always been of interest but Sunday it was even more obvious. We were traveling to Lexington and we filled up with gas here at a cost of 3.69 a gallon. Drove a few miles to Dunnville and the price was 3.39 a gallon and then a few miles on down the road to Hustonville and the gas was 3.29 a gallon. We have never really noticed a toll booth at the county line but there must be one.

Little Johnnie's neighbor had a baby.
Unfortunately, the baby was born without ears.
When mother and new baby came home from the hospital, Johnnie's family was invited over to see the baby.
Before they left their house, Little Johnnie's dad had a talk with him and explained that the baby had no ears.
His dad also told him that if he so much mentioned anything about the baby's missing ears or even said the word ears, he would get the smacking of his life when they came back home.
Little Johnnie told his dad he understood completely.
When Johnnie looked in the crib he said, 'What a beautiful baby.'
The mother said, 'Why, thank you, Little Johnnie.'
Johnnie said, 'He has beautiful little feet and beautiful little hands, a cute little nose and really beautiful eyes. Can he see OK?'
'Yes', the mother replied, 'we are so thankful; the Doctor said he will have 20/20 vision.'
'That's great', said Little Johnnie,'cuz he'd be in a real mess if he needed glasses'

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS and Replied, "You're in a hot air balloon approximately 30 feet above the surface of a lake which is at an elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level and you are you are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes North Latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes West Longitude" !!
She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."
I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and I'm still lost.. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."
"I certainly am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going, you've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect ME to solve your problem. You're in EXACTLY the same position you were in before we met, but somehow now, it's MY fault ! Good luck! "

Van Gogh Museum Unveils Long-Lost Painting by the Dutch Artist
'Sunset at Montmajour' is considered a major discovery and an important transition piece.
Alex Ruger, director of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, presents an 1888 painting by Vincent van Gogh on Monday, Sept. 9, 2013, in Amsterdam, entitled 'Sunset at Montmajour.'
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam unveiled a long-lost painting Monday by Vincent van Gogh called "Sunset at Montmajour." Museum's director Axel Rüger hailed the recovery of the work, saying, "A discovery of this magnitude has never before occurred in the history Van Gogh Museum."
[TRAVEL: Tips for Visiting Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum ]
"Sunset at Montmajour" marks the first discovery of a full-sized van Gogh painting since 1928. At 93 by 73 centimeters, the canvas is roughly the same size as his work "Sunflowers." It is considered a major piece in the artist's transition period that also produced "Sunflowers," "The Yellow House" and "The Bedroom." The piece depicts a countryside scene near Arles, France, where van Gogh moved in 1888. Historians have found at least two letters written by the artist in the summer of that year referring to the painting.
Van Gogh's brother Theo owned the painting in 1890 (the year the artist died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound) until selling it in 1901. It made its way from a Paris art dealer to a Norwegian collector in the early 1900s, and, according to the New York Times, belonged to a private family collection for the past several years. The museum did not detail how it attained "Sunset at Montmajour" from its most recent owners, citing privacy concerns.
"Sunset at Montmajour" has been declared a fake multiple times, as recently as 1991. The museum says new research methods allowed it to confirm its authenticity.
[RANKINGS: Best Fine Arts Graduate Schools ]
In the letters discussing the painting, van Gogh expressed disappointment with "Sunset at Montmajour." However, according to the museum press release, he felt similar dissatisfaction with his some of other great works, including "Starry Night." Starting Sept. 24, the painting will be on view in the Van Gogh Museum as part of its current show "Van Gogh at Work" until Jan. 12.
"We see Van Gogh visibly working, struggling almost, and this adds to the charm of this work," museum researchers said of the painting.

Valeriy Ivanovych Khoroshkovsky (Ukrainian: Валерій Іванович Хорошковський, born January 1, 1969 in Kiev[4]) is a Ukrainian businessman, former head of the Security Service of Ukraine,[5][6][7] former Minister of Finance,[8] and former First Vice Prime Minister.[1][9] According to Ukrainian and East European media Khoroshkovsky is one of Ukraine's richest people.[10][11][12]
While being in public office Khoroshkovsky had large stakes in various Ukrainian media and metallurgy industries.[3][13] In 2006 Khoroshkovsky stated: "I owned mid-sized businesses that had no kind of political influence. I cannot say I gained something for my business thanks to politics or that I had any political advantages thanks to business".[12]
Khoroshkovsky completed a postgraduate economics study at Taras Shevchenko Kyiv State University in 1993.[12]
Business career[edit]
In 1994 Khoroshkovsky started a metal trading business which he disbanded in 1995 to become active in banking.[12] Since then Khoroshkovsky has been active in the furniture retail and trading business and has had stakes in dairy, soda, machinery and bus factories. In 2004 Khoroshkovsky sold his stake in Ukrsotsbank to Ukraine's second-richest businessman Viktor Pinchuk for an estimated $200 million.[12]
After Khoroshkovsky's resignation as Economics Minister in January 2004 he was appointed vice president of steel giant Evraz, becoming its head in April 2006 either because of his connections or his 13-year friendship with Alexander Abramov.[12] In December 2006 Khoroshkovsky resigned as Chief Executive Officer of Evraz because of his appointment as the First Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.[14]
In 2005 Khoroshkovsky paid about $250 million for a 61% stake in Inter TV, one of Ukraine's biggest television channels.[12] In June 2007 he expanded his U.A. Inter Media Group Ltd with various other channels bought from Dmytro Firtash.[15] After Khoroshkovsky was appointed as Head of the State Customs Service of Ukraine in December 2007 his wife became head of U.A. Inter Media Group.[16]
In June 2010 both Kanal 5 and TVi accused Khoroshkovsky of abusing his power and influence to preserve monopoly control of Ukraine's media airwaves and limit objective news reporting.[17] Khoroshkovsky replied (early June 2010) that he was ready to sell his media business to a willing buyer.[13][18]
Khoroshkovsky sold 100 percent of Inter Media Group Limited (back) to Firtash on 1 February 2013.[19]
Political career[edit]
Khoroshkovsky was a member of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament) from the Ukrainian parliamentary election of 1998 until 2002[20] after winning a seat in the Krasnoperekopsk constituency,[21] representing the People's Democratic Party.[22] As a lawmaker he voted for the removal of Prime Minister Viktor Yushchenko from his office in May 2001 which resulted in the end of Yushchenko's prime ministership.[23]
At the March 2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election Khoroshkovsky represented the Team of Winter Generation,[23] which won no seats; he was a member of the Ukrainian Peasant Democratic Party at the time.[22][24]
In August 2002 Khoroshkovsky was appointed deputy head in the Presidential Administration of President Leonid Kuchma.[23] Khoroshkovsky was appointed minister of economy in December 2002 in the new Viktor Yanukovych government on recommendation of Labour Ukraine.[23] In 2003 he criticized Ukraine's economic policy and threatened to resign if Ukraine entered the common economic space with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Labour Ukraine immediately warned the minister that any minister who opposed the entry of Ukraine to this common economic space would be fired from the government.[12] Khoroshkovsky resigned in January 2004, complaining that the Finance Ministry was preventing his Economic Ministry from drawing up long-term economic plans.[12]
In December 2006 President Viktor Yushchenko appointed Khoroshkovsky as First Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, from which Khoroshkovsky resigned in May 2007.[25] On December 24, 2007 Khoroshkovsky was appointed as Head of the State Customs Service of Ukraine.[26] He was relieved of this post on January 28, 2009.[26] The same day Khoroshkovsky was appointed First Deputy Chief of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).[26] On March 11, 2010 Khoroshkovsky was appointed head of the SBU by the Ukrainian Parliament.[5] On April 19, 2010 Khoroshkovsky was appointed a staff member of the National Bank of Ukraine by President Viktor Yanukovych.[27] In 2010 he was also member of the Supreme Council of Justice, that appoints and fires judges, from May 31 till December 16.[10][28]
The SBU opened its Soviet Ukrainian archives in January 2009. Khoroshkovsky believes that the SBU should reduce public access to its archives and concentrate on its main task of being a secret service.[29]
According to Member of the European Parliament Elmar Brok (who met Khoroshkovsky when Khoroshkovsky hosted a luxurious dinner for MEPs in Brussels in November 2010) "he doesn't seem to understand that threatening the independence of the judiciary is one of biggest mistakes you can make when you are trying to build a new state, he doesn't seem to understand what are the proper limits of his mandate."[30]
President Yanukovych conferred a rank of general to Khoroshkovsky in August 2011.[31]
When Minister of Finance Fedir Yaroshenko resigned on 18 January 2012 he replaced by Khoroshkovsky as the new Minister of Finance the same day.;[8] Khoroshkovsky was dismissed as head of the Security Service of Ukraine.[8] After Andriy Klyuyev had left the post mid-February 2012 Khoroshkovsky was tipped as the new First Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine.[32] On 22 February 2012 he was appointed First Vice Prime Minister and dismissed as finance minister.[9] Relations with the European Union is among his responsibilities.[33] Unlike most Ukrainian officials he speaks good English.[34]
In his interview to Deutsche Welle, Khoroshkovsky stated that Viktor Yanukovych is not being allowed to the European Union due to selective justice.[35]
Khoroshkovskyi resigned from the interim Azarov Government on 14 December 2012 (the day after the re-appointment of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov[36]) because he "considered Azarov incapable of carrying out economic reforms and defending our country's strategic course for European integration".[1]

PITTSBURG, Kan. —
Quentin and Monica Holmes say they have always been proud of their teams at The Cheer Pitt.
And while they have taken numerous awards in regional competitions, they never believed their teams were good enough to compete at the national level.
Until now.
A team from The Cheer Pitt recently brought home the top trophy for its division from the National Cheerleaders Association All-Star National Championship in Dallas. The trophy is taller than many girls on the team.
"Regionally we'd do really well; we won everything at regionals last year," Holmes said Tuesday. "But at nationals, there are teams from gyms that literally have 3,000 kids turn out for tryouts, and they can only choose 20, so the ones that get chosen already are terrific right when they start out."
By comparison, many of the children who show up to The Cheer Pitt, which has 56 members, are "green" when they begin — some as young as 5.
"We said, 'Let's just go to nationals this year and watch what the really good teams do,'" said Holly Kent, a Pittsburg native whose daughter, Carmen — a George Nettels fifth grader — is on a team from The Cheer Pit. "We thought, 'You know, if we could even place in the top five, that would be great.'"
The national competition was held last weekend in the Dallas Convention Center, which had six gym floors in use at all times. It accommodated the 995 teams and 22,000 cheerleaders.
"This is not cheerleading like most people think of, where they're in front of crowds at a football games going, 'Rah rah' with pompoms," Holmes said. "This is a billion-dollar industry. These girls are total athletes. They do a two-and-a-half-minute routine where they never stop moving. It's finely choreographed, lots of stunts, jumps. They just never stop."
Holmes and his wife know what is required; they were cheerleaders at Pittsburg State University from 2003 to 2006.
"But this kind of cheering makes our kind look a little boring," Quentin laughed.
The couple opened The Cheer Pitt in February 2009. Monica does all of the choreography.
The Cheer Pitt took 40 competitors on two teams to nationals: A youth team of girls 11 and younger, and a senior team of boys and girls 18 and older.
"It's important to note that on our youth team, which took the trophy, the average age of the girls is 8 years old," Kent said. "And for four of the girls, including my daughter, this is their very first year."
The All-Star youth team practiced twice weekly for two hours each time. Kent said most girls also trained during open-gym time at least two other nights each week.
The team was one of 14 that also earned a paid bid to the Varsity All-Star Summit, which includes a four-night stay at Disney World in Orlando, Fla., and a two-day competition.
"Dallas was our Super Bowl," Kent explained. "The Summit is like when the best teams get to go to the Pro Bowl."
The girls will be responsible for travel costs, but all expenses while at the Summit are covered.
The senior Cheer Pitt team returned to Pittsburg with a fifth-place ranking at nationals — something to be proud of their first year, Kent said.
'They are the team'
"In football, the cheerleaders get the crowd going to support the team. With this type of cheer, they are the team. We're so proud of them. The level of perfection from each has to be 100 percent, or the team has no chance. We still can't believe it, " said Holly Kent, whose daughter, Carmen, recently competed with a team from The Cheer Pit at a national competition in Dallas.

I don't think we have seen a device have this many colors since the days of RIM releasing the BlackBerry Pearl and BlackBerry Curve 83xx series in a whole rainbow of colors. Rogers stores are getting geared up for the release of the white BlackBerry Curve 8520 as noted by Kyle over at BlackBerryCool.
All together that means Rogers will have the 8520 in three colors. White, Black and Lavender. Pick your color, all three are available for $49.99 each with a 3/yr contract. The white BlackBerry Curve 8520 is not currently available on the website as of yet so if you want one, give your local Rogers location a call and see if they have gotten their stock in. If not, you could always grab a white BlackBerry Bold for $99.99 on a 3/yr.

Pic of white 8520 has the "U" clip on the bottom. Is this a running change in the housing design of previous 8520's with the one-piece faceplate? Just curious......

so gross
b_calouja Jan 23, 2010 at 7:10 pm
Why couldn't they have the colour of the trackpad match the colour of the phone??!?! Instead of a black trackpad for the lavender and the white? Ruins it.
DustBow Jan 23, 2010 at 9:19 pm
I believe the trackpad has to be black in order to function, something with the sensors
tnewton3 Jan 23, 2010 at 9:16 pm
I would have to go with the white 9000 if I were going to white a phone out.
decolur455 Jan 24, 2010 at 9:41 am
The trackpads are actually a dark transparent purple so light can penetrate it so it can lighten and dim the display as needed.

Such an ugly phone, I don't get why rogers has to scar all their products with their logo.

A Port Deposit man who apparently committed suicide was pulled from the rocks on the Cecil County side of the Susquehanna River on Sunday.
The Water Witch Fire Company responded to the scene Sunday afternoon and found Andrew J. Hall, 45, on the rocky shore of the river, according to Chief Wayne Tome Sr.
"He was obviously deceased. He had been there for a while," said Tome, who added that the body was found near the Mount Zoar boat ramp in Port Deposit in Cecil County.
Tome said the fire company turned the investigation over to the Maryland State Police North East Barrack. A dispatcher for the barrack confirmed officers from that office are investigating the incident.
Greg Shipley, spokesman for Maryland State Police, said North East barrack officers are investigating Hall's death as an apparent suicide. Police received a call about the body near 1 p.m. Sunday, Shipley said.
"We're not certain how long the body had been there but it's believed to had been there less than a day," he said. "He had been seen alive Saturday afternoon."
A dispatcher for the Maryland State Police Bel Air Barrack said they are not involved in the incident.

Lovely post. It was wonderful to see Your very beautiful photos from Russia. They differ so much from those which I presented in my series of posts "Return to the roots".
Thank You.
Often referred to as Russia's Versailles, Peterhof's gardens offered us a picturesque spot through which to stroll during our visit to St. Petersburg earlier this month.
Under shadows cast by heavily-gilded cupolas, we were brusquely ushered through the grandiose palace complex past faces from all walks of life. When we crossed paths with artists dressed in Baroque garb, we tried to imagine Peterhof in its heyday shortly after its commissioning by Peter the Great in the 18th-Century.
And then we tried visualize the depths of its destruction at the hands of Nazi occupiers between 1941-1944. Reconstruction work and regular maintenance continues to this day.
We found the elegant gardens and cast of characters to be of the most interest as they brought life to the prim palace…
There were Russian school-children visiting the UNESCO-registered complex for the first time, yet some seemed more interested in games of hide & seek than in the ornate architecture.
There were brides that resembled delicately-painted matryoshka dolls.
And aggressive salesmen, peddling matryoshka dolls, wooden structures with Eastern Orthodox spires and Siberian cashmere shawls. Some expressions evoked Cold War intrigue.
With the Red Scare running both ways…

Stillwater News Press
STILLWATER, Okla. —
Feb. 7, 1998, was the last time that Oklahoma State went to Norman and came away with a win.
The No. 11 ranked Cowgirls will storm Norman with an 18-2 record and a 7-2 record against conference opponents. Oklahoma is 13-8 and 4-4 in Big 12 play. In this rivalry game records and rankings cannot be trusted.
"Anytime you get Bedlam it's an exciting time. You can throw all the records out. It's going to be a highly competitive game and both teams are going to be excited about playing," Oklahoma State coach Jim Littell said.
Oklahoma will host Bedlam at 2 p.m. Saturday. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Network.
The Cowgirls will look to end what is a 16-year streak of losing in Norman. Oklahoma State has lost the last 15 games at Norman.
"We hope this is the year that changes," Littell said. "It's been a difficult place to play. But this is a new year and a new opportunity and we are looking forward to that."
Littell knows how tough Lloyd Noble Center is to play on a normal basis. Saturday will not be a normal game. Oklahoma will be celebrating its football team's Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama during Bedlam's halftime.
"It's just going to be a big time environment. If you can't get excited about playing in a Bedlam game there's something wrong with you," Littell said.
The Sooners will depend on balance against the Cowgirls. Oklahoma State's defense will need to defend a multitude of players. Four of five Oklahoma starters average double figure scoring. Aaryn Ellenberg leads Oklahoma with 19.6 points per contest as Sharane Campbell scores 12.3, Nicole Griffin puts in 11.3 and Morgan Hook chips in 11 points a game.
For the last two seasons the Cowgirls and the Sooners have split — both teams won on their home court.
Oklahoma is coming off an 86-78 loss at Kansas State on Wednesday.
The Sooners are 10-3 in Norman this year. Oklahoma State is 4-0 on the road and 3-0 on neutral courts this season.
The Cowgirls are coming off of a close 49-48 win at Texas Christian University on Wednesday night.
"Our practices have been good," Littell said. "We try to make sure we let them recovery against TCU and a long road trip."

Peel Police began investigating McFarlane's activities in 2009.

Ann Coulter defended the Republicans' choice of presidential candidate in her commentary "Romney Was Not The Problem." Of course Romney was the problem and the reason the Republicans lost. Obama got less votes than McCain in 2008; only a pathetically bad candidate could actually lose to an incumbent President who inspires so little support. Coulter says the idea that Romney was "a weak, moderate candidate" is "preposterous." Actually Romney is the problem, and so are commentators like Ann Coulter who justify and promote such weak, moderate candidates.
Coulter made a bizarre argument to justify Romney's candidacy: Reagan didn't have a "bold contrasting vision" either, and you conservatives supported him against Carter, thus you should have supported Romney against Obama even if he wasn't a whole lot different. She also pointed out that Romney may have been a liberal governor, but so was Reagan as governor of California when he "signed the most liberal abortion law in the country and imposed the three largest state tax hikes in the nation's history." This is a terrible argument to make to conservatives who are supposed to want a candidate who is actually different from the Welfare State Democrats.
Coulter proclaimed, "If Republicans continue to tell themselves comforting myths about our candidate being the problem, they better get used to losing a lot more elections." The opposite is true: If Republicans continue failing to differentiate themselves even from the likes of Obama, their party will die.

Selena Gomez has been spotted leaving Justin Bieber's house in LA prompting pretty much everyone to speculate whether they are back together.
Justin and Selena were together two years. Copyright: [wenn]
However, we think the sighting gives us two possible options.
Yes, maybe they are back together and deeply in love etc, but equally maybe she is going round to do the mega awks collecting stuff trip that every ex couple dreads.

However, seeing as she did reportedly stay the night then she must have A LOT of stuff to collect...
Selena reportedly chucked Justin after she found him to be just 'too immature' for her.
Biebs and Selena broke up a couple of months back. Copyright: [rex]
A source said: "Justin is super needy and can be a big baby around Selena."
"It's hard for him to make real friends because he likes the temporary attention of strangers, but didn't see how it hurt Selena."
Selena was believed to be sick of Justin constantly being pictured out and about with other girls.
"Selena didn't feel Justin was respectful of their relationship. She was constantly catching him in positions with other girls that would make her uncomfortable."
Since the split, Selena has vowed that she wants to make s 'fresh start' and enjoy herself.
Th actress recently told an interviewer: "I'm good. I'm really good. I've been recording, having a lot of fun with my girlfriends, having a good time."
Meanwhile, poor old Bieber has admitted that he is struggling with the break up and said last week: "I'm not in the happiest place that I've ever been."

Learn how to treat multiple related objects as one object with Arrays. Part 2 of 5.
In this video, we'll discuss what an array is and the syntax used to create an array. We'll look at a demonstration of creating and iterating through an array. In part two, we'll look at how to visualize an array to better understand the data structure. We'll then discuss some of the built in .NET functions for working on an array. In part three, we'll continue working on the array demonstration, this time storing objects as references in an array. In part four, now that we've filled our arrays values, we'll need to retrieve that information. This video shows a demonstration of the various ways one can retrieve data from an array. In part five, we'll end the demonstration by showing how arrays can be used as method parameters.
