F-CLEAN® Greenhouse Film
A thin ETFE film, F-CLEAN® Greenhouse Film is the preferred covering material for horticultural greenhouses as it lets in more light than glass, PE film, polycarbonate and PMMA sheets. By allowing maximum UV light transmission (up to 94%), F-CLEAN ensures earlier harvest of better quality fruit and vegetables and more colorful flowers. Low surface energy gives F-CLEAN film non-stick and self-cleaning properties so greenhouses remain clean naturally with rain or snow. And snow will automatically slide off, saving the cost of labor-intensive and expensive snow removal. No condensation will ever fall onto plants as F CLEAN has excellent anti-dripping properties. Highly durable, this ETFE film has proved to protect greenhouses for more than 25 years without showing signs of deterioration. Grades range in thickness from 60 µm (2.4 mil) to 100 µm (4 mil).

From the Publisher
"Chamberlain and Ree have done a superb job of representing the philosopher's Kierkegaard. In these selections we find the themes and ideas that influenced the existentialist, phenomenological, and post-structuralist movements of the twentieth century, and which continue to be of importance for contemporary discussions about meaning, textuality and the perennial issues in philosophy of religion. Anyone interested in the recent history of philosophy would do well to take a careful look at this volume." Steven Emmanuel, Virginia Wesleyan College

Maryland gave up six sacks in its first six conference games.
It gave up six to Florida State tonight.
It hadn't thrown an interception over the last four games.
It threw two tonight.
Florida State was clearly the better team tonight (it's 37-3 with 2:43 left as I type this), and so much of the difference came down to pressure.
Not any sort of nervousness or contrived storyline, mind you. Just sheer, overwhelming physical pressure.
Florida State had superior size and speed, and its defensive line simply overwhelmed Maryland.
The Terps' offensive front played poorly at Virginia Tech. Here, it just plain got beat by what on at least this night was a much better unit.
I'm not sure if it makes this disappointing loss any easier to handle. But I'll find out soon enough, since it's time to pack up and head down to the press conference.

There's little doubt when push comes to shove for the Mankato East girls' basketball team, senior guard Minnie Frederick will be in the middle of the action.
Friday night at the East gym, Frederick's 15-point second-half burst along with a stingy defensive effort propelled East to a hard-fought 48-42 Big Nine Conference win over previously unbeaten Rochester John Marshall. Frederick finished with 18 points, six assists and four rebounds as the Cougars improved to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big Nine.
"Minnie just took over for us in the second half," East coach Mike Barger said. "She was going to the basket and getting our posts some open looks. She was controlling the offense by either running things in the half court or pushing it up the floor.
"We were getting into our high-low game better in the second half, and I thought our defense was outstanding. They match up very well with us because, like us, they have some solid post players."
East, which languished through a 71-48 loss to Rochester Century a week ago in its last outing, dominated the boards 28-19 and turned the ball over only five times in the second half after committing 12 miscues over the opening 18 minutes. Junior forward Taylor Karge led the Cougars with seven rebounds while junior post Claire Ziegler grabbed six.
"We have a tall team and that comes in handy when we're rebounding," said Karge, who also put through 11 points. "We hustled all game long and our goal was to start playing good team defense."
East opened up the game's largest lead of 14-8 when Karge stole the ball and banked it in with 11:12 to go in the opening half. Ziegler had two inside baskets in the surge while Frederick chipped in with two foul shots and Abby Connell converted a twisting putback.
John Marshall (3-1 overall, 2-1 in Big Nine) then went on a 6-0 run — two layups from Haley Holtorf and a pair of free throws from Jamie Ruden — to draw even before Ruden's six-point flurry and Kalli Fautsch's three-point play helped the Rockets gain a 23-20 halftime advantage. Ruden, a 6-foot freshman center, led the Rockets with 16 points and six rebounds.
"We had a tough game against Century where we just weren't in it mentally or physically," Frederick said. "Both teams were really going after it defensively tonight and at halftime we talked about settling down and slowing it up a little bit. We did that in the second half and our intensity really shot up."
East took a 33-30 lead midway through the second half when freshman post Allison Taylor came up with two second-chance baskets and Ziegler cut the cords on two foul shots. Ruden then hit a pair of medium-range jumpers as the Rockets took their final lead of the contest at 38-36 with 4:49 to go.
The game featured seven lead changes and six ties before back-to-back 3-pointers from Frederick put the Cougars in front to stay.
Frederick's slicing drive through traffic and acrobatic layup with 1:47 remaining made it 44-40. After Ruden's 8-footer in the paint pulled the Rockets within two, Karge's steal after a missed East free throw resulted in a foul. Karge swished both foul shots and Frederick clinched things by splitting two free throws twice in the waning seconds.
East ended up 17 of 39 from the field for 43.5 percent compared to the Rockets' 15 of 34 for 44.1 percent. John Marshall finished with 21 turnovers. Ziegler tallied 11 points for the Cougars, who play Tuesday at Austin.

Here's the thing: You know it's a trick. You know bizarre magician Brian Brushwood can't actually have just stabbed a knife all the way through his hand. Still, you wonder how the heck he pulled the trick off…

Only One (Tavon Austin Senior Highlights) (via dougitydog)
Many of you guys started Mocking Tavon Austin to the Rams a few weeks back. I was still locked onto my Tyler Eifert pick and did not think you guys were anywhere in the ballpark. Now, I see that I was wrong. The above highlights prove that pretty effectively.
I am not going to lie this is the first time I have watched significant film on Tavon. This video up top is the best one I found. He is Electric, he is blazing, he is a scoring machine. He looks fast. When he runs he looks like a streak. 4.34 speed, that is what he has working for him.
You worried about his size? Well guess what, it is reported that he has never missed a practice while at West Virginia, plus when he can't get any more yards he plays it smart, he runs out of bounds or goes down. A wimp you might say? Prolonging a career says I.
Where does this guy fit in with the Rams? I would say he it is a good chance Jeff Fisher will put him in the slot. Once you get the ball in this guys hands he is gone.
Now, we all know this guy is fast and elusive. But what about Character? Well word going around the NFL community is that he is a "we, us" guy. He is a real team player. Gossip like that is worth a grain of salt, but watch these highlights I have here, tell me what you see after every touchdown, heck, after every play! He gives the balls to the refs.
I at first wanted the Rams to stay FAR FAR away from this guy, but now that I see what he can do, I implore the Rams office to snatch this guy at the 16th pick. The Ram's offense needs this guy!
He can go with my other favorite receiver in the draft, Ryan Swope. But that is for my next article. And as far as similaritie, the 4.34 40 yd dash is all they have in common.

COLUMBUS Ś While many college football analysts and self-proclaimed pundits around America are undecided where Ohio State fits into the BCS national championship picture, one Buckeye feels he has it figured out.
The Buckeyes got back to work Monday, following the second of their two off weeks, in preparation for a Saturday trip to Illinois.
OSU players were asked for their thoughts on the BCS standings.
Ohio State (9-0, 5-0 in the Big Ten) enters this week ranked third in the BCS standings behind No. 1 Alabama and No. 2. Florida State.
Junior receiver Evan Spencer isnÆt buying it.
ōIÆm a little biased,ö Spencer said. ōBut I think weÆd wipe the field with both of them.ö
Though he wasnÆt nearly as brash as his teamÆs third-leading receiver, OSU coach Urban Meyer said Monday he has been voting his Buckeyes as the No. 2 team in the nation all season in the coachesÆ poll.
MeyerÆs top three, he said, was Alabama, Ohio State and Florida State.
ōI had us No. 2 all year,ö Meyer said. ōI just think weÆre playing like one of the top teams in the country right now.ö
Meyer, like most of his players and coaching staff, spent much of the off week sizing up the competition. He said he watched StanfordÆs upset win over Oregon on Thursday, AlabamaÆs win over LSU on Saturday, and even some of BaylorÆs rout of Oklahoma.
He wasnÆt alone.
Assistant Kerry Coombs said he was watching a game on Saturday night Ś presumably Alabama-LSU Ś and was texting back and forth with OSU defensive back Bradley Roby about individuals on those teams, techniques and how those teams approached certain situations.
Roby was dialed into the conversation because he was watching the same game.
ōYouÆre not watching them as a scouting report,ö Coombs said. ōBut you want to watch good teams play and see how your kids stack up against their kids. Absolutely.ö
The off week not only gave the Buckeyes a chance to recharge their batteries for the stretch run, but it also gave Meyer and his staff a chance to do some evaluating.
Ohio State enters SaturdayÆs game in Champaign riding the crest of a 21-game winning streak. A win on Saturday would tie the school record for consecutive wins (set in 1967-69).
Meyer said the feel Ś and evidence Ś of this yearÆs undefeated run is better than that of last year.
ōWeÆre a better team,ö Meyer said. ōWeÆre a better functioning team.
ōWeÆre just more functional on offense. On defense, IÆm not sure weÆre quite as good.ö
Ohio State is ranked fifth nationally in scoring offense (48.2 points per game) and sixth nationally in total offense (531 yards per game).
The bigger surprise is OSU also has a top-10 defense. The BuckeyesÆ highly scrutinized defense is ranked third nationally in rushing defense (88 yards per game) and is eighth in scoring defense (17.0 ppg).
ōI understand weÆre top 10 in the country in defense, rushing defense, total defense and scoring defense, thatÆs pretty good, with replacing nine starters,ö Meyer said. ōSo we are getting a little better on defense. Comparing the teams last year, I think thatÆs interesting conversation.ö
While Ohio State has everything going for it right, SaturdayÆs opponent doesnÆt. Illinois (3-6, 0-5) has lost 19 straight games in league play.
But Meyer knows nothing would please the Illini more than knocking off his Buckeyes. Illinois is coached by Tim Beckman, who was an assistant coach under Meyer at Bowling Green in 2001-2002.
Meyer said the Buckeyes will ōget after itö on Tuesday, a session that has been termed ōBloody Tuesdayö since Meyer took over the program.
Meyer said ōa bomb will go offö if intensity and productivity wanes this week in practice.
MeyerÆs message to his team has been straight and to the point.
Because the margin for error is very slim when youÆre on the outside looking in on the BCS as the No. 3 team, when only the top two play for the title.
ōWe talked about the nation, the BCS, the state of the union that we do every week, and thatÆs it,ö Meyer said. ōDo we have to win with the style points? No. You have to play great, though, or youÆll no longer be in the same breath with those other teams.ö
Ohio State football: Buckeyes react to No. 3 BCS ranking
COLUMBUS Ś While many college football analysts and self-proclaimed pundits around America are undecided where Ohio State fits into the BCS national championship picture, one Buckeye feels he has it figured out.

Steven Taylor has talked to Paul Gilder of the Newcastle Journal today about the Newcastle squad and how he thinks it has improved immensely under new manager Sam Allardyce.
Steven also says he is not one to get carried away by all his early success and we're also sure that Big Sam will ensure that does not happen.
Let's take a look at what Steven had to say to the Journal today.
Steven Taylor – not getting carried away be early success
Here's what Steven told Paul Gilder of the Journal:
"We've got a great squad now, perhaps the best there has been at Newcastle since the Keegan days,â€
"I was watching from the terraces then and I feel there's something about this squad that is going to take this club forward, I definitely believe that.
We've got quality here, we've got so many top players at the club now."
"I'm really confident under the gaffer. He's bringing top players in and it's all looking good.â€
Taylor is adamant Sam will not make any panic signings this week as he looks to round off his squad that will take Newcastle at least to the January transfer window. Steven went on:
"The last thing we want is for the manager to be signing players just for the sake of it,â€
"It has happened in the past – we've signed players just to make the numbers up. But it won't happen this time.â€
Stephen Carr will be out for about 6 weeks and it has been reported that Peter Ramage will probably be out at least 4 months with damaged knee ligaments after the Middlesbrough game on Sunday.
Taylor continued:
"We've got players here now who really want to play for this club, it's not all about the money,â€
"In the recent past, people have said that the players were paid too much, but the players now are just concerned about working hard for each other.
"There were lads who got stick at the training ground last season and it was difficult experience when we were out there training."
"We didn't get the performances we would have expected from top-quality players, but they've gone and I hope we can start a new era where we all play for each other.â€
Taylor spent last week with the full England squad, but a player making great strides in the game is aware that manager Sam Allardyce doesn't want him to get carried away with his early success.
"I'm not a person who will get big headed about these things,†"I realize I've got lots to work on.
I'm young but I'm ambitious and I'm prepared for whatever's thrown at me.â€
Steven is one of three top-class 21 year-olds at the club along with James Milner and Charles N'Zogbia and all three have made an excellent start to the season. This augers well for Newcastle's future.
Comments welcome.

Reporting from London — With the prize announcement moments away and the phone resolutely silent, Tomas Transtromer figured that his chance for Nobel glory had slipped by once again.
As Sweden's most lauded poet and a perennial favorite for the literature prize, Transtromer was used to the feeling. But just a few minutes before the rest of the world heard it, the Stockholm native received the unexpected news Thursday that he had won after all. Word came in a slightly tardy (local) call from the Swedish Academy, which bestows the coveted award.

It takes fuel to keep cars and trucks moving, taking people to and from work and delivering goods around the country. In Cumberland County, much of those fuel products and related automotive products have been provided by Deloy Brown Petroleum, LLC, for more than 50 years.
Deloy Brown started with the company in 1958 as a driver. He took over the business in 1968 and welcomed his son, Rodney Brown, to the business in 1977. The third generation has now joined the family business, with Rodney's son, Tyler, taking the reins of Johnson Petroleum, a part of Deloy Brown Petroleum, in Dunlap.
Between drivers of gasoline deliveries, support staff and five stores across the region, the company employs about 40 people.
"We're here everyday," said Rodney Brown, president of the company. "We cover from Chattanooga to the Kentucky line up 127 and 60 miles to the east and west."
The company provides ExxonMobil, Gulf, Petro-Canada and Pure products. Non-ethanol gasoline is available at the Elite Markets on West Ave. and Peavine Rd.
Brown explained there is a difference in gasoline brands and, in fact, ExxonMobile tests samples from stations regularly to ensure customers are getting the Exxon products they think they are.
"We don't know when they're coming. We don't ever know that they've done it," Brown said. If tests of those samples find something other than Exxon gasoline, the company would lose its contract with the gasoline giant.
Gas is delivered by pipeline to Knoxville, with a pipeline coming south from New Jersey and north from Louisiana. The price changes every day.
"I buy gas every day, and there's a price change every day or sometimes two times a day," he said. "I don't have enough storage to keep gas for a long period of time, so it's buy and sell for us."
Some larger operators may be able to buy several days supply of gasoline at a time. Sometimes that works in their favor, Brown explained, such as buying several days in advance when prices are lower. Sometimes, they'll still be paying the higher price even though the cost of fuel has fallen.
More than 750,000 gallons of gasoline leaves Knoxville each day. The two pipelines help ensure the station has a supply most of the time; however, events in one part of the country can affect gasoline supply and pricing across the nation. There is also limited oil refinery capacity to keep up with demand.
"They can divert gas up the East Coast if they need it," he explained.
A common misconception about the gasoline business, Brown explained, was the amount of profit those delivering the products make. He broke down the cost of fuel by the gallon, taxes and delivery and charges for processing credit and debit cards.
"Debit cards do cost us money," he said. "They're not like cash."
After all the taxes and fees are paid, the distributor may make just pennies per gallon. Some days the distributor may even lose money per gallon.
"It's not a large margin," he explained. "It's a good business, though. It's been good to me and my family."
Brown enjoys his work, though he is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making sure customers get the products they need.
In addition to delivering ExxonMobil fuel products from the Georgia to the Kentucky lines, the company also offers diesel fuel and many specialty oils, greases and lubricants used in a variety of industries, including agriculture. Those looking to hit the track can also find racing gas.
"Whatever you need in the petroleum business, if we don't have it, we can get it," Brown said.
In addition to delivering fuel to a number of gas stations in the area, Deloy Brown Petroleum, LLC is also the owner and operator of the Elite Exxon stores in Crossville and Sparta through a partnership with Brown's uncle, Junior Hixson.
"We built our first store in 1989 in Sparta," Brown said.
Today, the company owns and operates five stores, all Elite Markets. In Crossville, Elite Markets, offering the Exxon brand, are found on Hwy. 127 N., West Ave., Peavine Rd. and Plateau Rd. The newest store is branded Gulf and is in Pikeville. The stores offer a selection of convenience items, snacks and drinks and deli sandwiches and salads.
"We are looking to serve what our customers need," Brown said.
The company has a long history of supporting local schools, athletics and charitable causes.
"I try to help and do our part if it's a good cause," Brown said. "We are locally owned and operated. All of our people are from here."
Those causes include programs to assist under-privileged children and local schools. A grant program once offered $600 to $700 per school, with about $75,000 provided to Cumberland County Schools over a 20-year period.
The company is also a sponsor of the Cumberland County High School's student of the month program, a student recognition program. At Stone Memorial High School, the company sponsors a civics education program through the National Right to Vote Committee, providing class supplies and literature for the teacher.
School and youth athletic programs have often found support from the company, whether it be softball, baseball, football or other sports.
The business also provides the book "Come Unto Me" to local funeral homes to give grieving families, and supports a number of local organizations working to help those in the community.
"I ask people, whether it's me or someone else, if you've got people in the community who are sponsoring programs for our youth, please do business with them," he said. "People need to support the people who are supporting their kids. I have a real soft spot for that."

Dry hydrant helps firefighters work in rural areas
By SETH LITTRELL, CJ Staff Writer
Commonwealth Journal
Eubank —
A recent partnership between the Eubank Volunteer Fire Depart-ment and a local resident has resulted in a new weapon to combat rural fires.
Tom Sutton, a Eubank man who owns a farm with a pond on it, worked with the local fire department to install a dry fire hydrant. The hydrant, located alongside the road Sutton lives off, is connected to a long 6-inch piece of pipe running to a 50-gallon drum located in Sutton's pond.
The hydrant allows fire crews in the area to quickly refill their trucks from a nearby water source instead of returning to the downtown Eubank area.
"We love it," said Norman Rutheford, Eubank's fire chief, "Out in rural areas, if we can put dry hydrants in like that, it really helps. It saves a lot of wear on the vehicles."
Rutheford said the hydrant requires some extra training to use, because the water they are drawing from is not pressurised like a municipal fire hydrant is. The Eubank fire department has already done some training with the new hydrant, and more training will be completed on July 28.
"You actually have to teach the people to draft the water, to suck it into the truck," Rutheford said.
Sutton, the designer of the pond the hydrant draws from, said it should be a reliable source of water for the surrounding farming community despite rec-ent weather conditions.
"The water lowered in the drought, but it's still only down about three inches," Sutton said.
Rutheford said he and the rest of the Eubank fire department are grateful to Sutton for letting them install the hydrant on his property.
"We're actually looking to put some more in the rural areas," Rutheford said. "If anyone is interested in working with us to install one, just let us know."

---- — HAMILTON — A developer is expected to move forward with plans to buy the 86-acre Aquila Farm on Bay Road for six large, equestrian-themed homes after residents last week rejected the town's proposal to buy the property.
While the properties will be marketed as "large estate parcels," much of the land is expected to continue to receive property tax breaks for its "agricultural and equestrian nature," according to UpperCross Development, the company that has an agreement to buy the farm from owner Deirdre Pirie for $4 million.
The town had the right of first refusal to buy the property because of its agricultural designation, which had allowed it to be taxed at a lower rate under state law. But Town Meeting voters rejected the proposal to purchase, 481 votes to 391. The vote required a two-thirds majority.
Approximately 70 percent of the current property is expected to remain under Chapter 61A, the agricultural designation, according to a letter from James Kroesser, an attorney representing UpperCross, sent to selectmen in April.
While the tax rate remains the same under Chapter 61A, the assessed value of the land is reduced at a calculated rate, creating the tax discount. Homes continue to be assessed like any other property.
Kroesser said that 10 to 12 acres will be used to build the new homes, making them no longer eligible for Chapter 61A designation. The rest of the property will remain as agricultural.
"In every way possible, UpperCross intends to preserve the agricultural and equestrian nature of the property," he wrote.
In order to qualify for Chapter 61A, property owners must have at least 5 acres that are "actively devoted to agricultural or horticultural uses," according to state law. The law defines "actively devoted" as producing $500 gross income coming from products from the land or animals on the property.
"If you cut down a tree and sell it for $500, it will count," said Selectman Marc Johnson, who strongly supported the town's purchase of the land.
Johnson said Pirie had a farm manager and maintained the property as a small-scale working farm. The farm has been in operation since the 1750s and most recently served as an organic farm with a greenhouse and as a boarding facility for horses.
"These will be backyards," Johnson said of the new developments. "They will not be operating these properties as a farm in any sense of the word. These will be pastures and horse turnout areas, which don't qualify under 61A."
Selectman Jennifer Scuteri agreed.
"The legislation was intended to protect and preserve local farms, not the backyards of McMansions," she said.
Johnson, however, said it's all legal because they will meet the requirement under state law.
Once the 86-acre property is split into the six lots, they will be sold to the individual builders, Kroesser wrote in the letter. It is unknown how each property owner plans to use the properties for agricultural or horticultural purposes.
Kroesser did not return phone calls seeking comment on the properties that will qualify for 61A. Lawrence Frej, a principal for UpperCross, declined comment.
Town officials proposed that the town purchase the land to use it for conservation, public horseback riding and hiking trails, and sports fields, and to sell a portion to a developer to build a cluster of cottage-style homes, duplexes or senior apartments.
At Town Meeting, Selectman Scott Maddern said using 14 acres of the land for mixed-use housing could have brought in an estimated $500,000 to $525,000 in increased tax revenue to the town, while the plan by UpperCross would bring in about $170,000.
UpperCross claimed that the property, including two additional properties on Bay Road owned by Pirie, would bring in between $225,000 and $250,000 in tax revenue. The town did not include the two additional properties in its figures because the town wouldn't have bought them.
Johnson said one potential buyer is planning to buy two lots and not build a home on one of them, meaning the town will lose out on more tax revenue.
"It means the revenue estimates they came up with will be far less," Johnson said, noting that the town missed out on a real opportunity to generate a significant amount of new tax revenue by buying the property and moving forward with mixed-housing plans.

A YOUNG woman who spent six weeks fighting for her life in a coma has celebrated her 21st birthday.
Nearly eight months after Samantha Fisher suffered near-fatal head injuries in a moped accident in Gibraltar, she is finally learning to enjoy herself again.
And on Friday dozens of friends and family laid on a surprise bash for a birthday many thought she might never see.
She was picked up from the home she shares with her parents at Crossley Crescent, Hoole, in a stretch limousine and whisked away to a Las Vegas-themed party at the County Officers club on Plas Newton Lane.
Mum Christine Fisher was gushing with pride for her brave daughter.
She said: "Sam's done exceptionally well. She underwent major surgery again about three weeks ago.
"They removed practically the whole of the right side of her skull in Gibraltar and part of her brain.
"If they hadn't removed the skull she wouldn't have survived.
"She lost the facial nerves – they died due to the fracture. It had to regrow.
"We don't know whether it will get completely better but time is a healer.
"She is back to smiling and wanting to enjoy herself."
The moped Samantha and her boyfried, Craig Pejic, were riding swerved to avoid a pothole in the road sending them both tumbling off the vehicle.
They were returning from a muchanticipated trip to see the Rock of Gibraltar monkeys when tragedy struck.
Samantha now suffers from Bell's Palsy, meaning one side of her face is paralysed.
She is still receiving physio and attending appointments at the neurological centre in Walton, Liverpool.
Mum Christine added: "She doesn't like to talk about her accident at all."
"She doesn't remember the month she spent in hospital in Spain or the first two weeks at the Countess."
Samantha cannot remember being airlifted from a hospital in Cadiz, Spain back to be treated at the Countess.
"We flew home but she doesn't remember the flight," added Christine.
"She asked where her brother had been and he had been with us in Spain.
"She has a slight weakness to her left side.
"She wants to be out there and put it behind her, but it's hard."

The American Idol Craziness, Nicki Minaj Always Late, Huge Entourage, And No Pictures Allowed?
Dear American Idol, we here at the Tony Batman's A Entertainment News love you show, we have loved it for year. Now this year we are watching less, why? The short answer is "so we don't have to listen to Nicki Minaj' …. Read This story below for more on this…..
When Nicki Minaj was late for American Idol's live show last week it wasn't the first time because a show insider exclusively tells RadarOnline.com that the rapper has been routinely late since filming of the show began. "Nicki has ALWAYS been late. Even back during the audition phases she showed up anywhere from an hour or two past call time, pushing all of the auditions back and angering the other judges," the source revealed.
"Not only was she always late, but she always had a huge entourage with her and was rude to the contestants and their families, refusing to talk with them. And she wouldn't allow anyone to take pictures of her, or with her." In fact, the source recalled an incident during the first round of Hollywood Week in which Nicki, 30, held up auditions for more than two hours!
"Hollywood week was already miserable enough because contestants had to wait in the auditorium and watch everyone audition one by one, with only an hour lunch break – but Nicki didn't help matters," the source exclusively told Radar. "After the lunch break one day everyone was waiting to audition and the judges all showed up together two and a half hours late and it was because of Nicki. All of the families had to wait outside the holding room, so they didn't know what was going on that whole time until Nicki and her entourage finally showed up. She never showed up before 11 a.m."

A Townsend couple died in a fire Tuesday morning, May 22, at their home off Highway 73 on Davis Road.
According to the Knoxville News Sentinel, the man and woman, ages 82 and 92, were identified as Glynne and Pagie Rook. The couples grandson, William Eder, told the Sentinel they had lived at their home for 21 years.
The Blount County Sheriffs Office responded to the residence shortly before 9 a.m. to the call of a fire. When deputies arrived on the scene, heavy black smoke could be seen coming from the residence, and it was fully involved. Townsend Police and Townsend Volunteer Fire Department, as well as the Blount County Fire Department, were on the scene.
Eder, who lives in a mobile home next door, reported he heard an explosion about 9 a.m. Tuesday. The structure was still smoking later in the afternoon.
Autopsies were scheduled for May 23 at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. Preliminary results of the investigation revealed that the cause and origin of the fire was electrical, and started in the basement of the residence.
Jarnagin to leave Maryville High School after five
Dr. Ken Jarnagin, Maryville High School principal for five years, announced his retirement to teachers and administrators Thursday morning, May 17.
Jarnagin, 53, said his last day will be June 30, and he plans to
pursue some professional activities such as real estate or contract
educational opportunities. Jarnagin said he had always considered
throughout this career that he would "call it
quits" after 30 years, "but each year changes."
The principal said the staff, faculty and students the school have enjoyed success. "I feel good about the staff and administrators we have in place and that they are going to carry on," he said.
Jarnagin said he and his wife, Phyllis, have some options that have opened up for them professionally. "I do a little work in real estate privately," he said. The principal said he also has an idea for some private educational opportunities he may explore.
Jarnagin said the staff has taken the news well, although many expressed that they wished he would stay. When asked what he would remember most about his tenure with Maryville High School, he said, "the relationships with the kids, with the parents and families and especially with the professionals at the school."
Dr. Mike Dalton, director of Maryville City Schools, said Jarnagins strengths are in his ability to listen and communicate. "Thats the trick to good leadership - get people who know what theyre talking about and listen to them," he said. "Kens one of those guys."
"Ken Jarnagins leadership style has always been to make everyone feel welcome, included and important. Faculty, students and staff have benefited from his openness and desire to communicate at all levels of the organization," Dalton said. "The culture of collaboration now functioning so well at Maryville High School will certainly be his legacy."
Dalton said the high school has benefited from many new or enhanced
programs under Jarnagins leadership. "In addition to the Health
Science Program, Media Concepts, Criminal Justice and an expanded drama
and math programs, Jarnagin pushed very hard to secure an
administrative position at the high school to manage curriculum and
instruction, which has
been a great success," Dalton said. "His work in the community and at the state level has been exemplary, but his unique ability to encourage student leadership and give support to students with vision is an example we should all learn from."
Dalton said he has spoken with Jarnagin over the past three years about goals and interests and in that time Jarnagin has looked at other opportunities. "Im not surprised by him taking this step, but I regret seeing him leave. Hes been very effective."
Jarnagin worked in the Knox County system for 18 years, started out as a band director and had worked his way up to assistant principal at Bearden before Maryville City Schools director Mike Dalton picked him as the Maryville High School principal.
Dalton said he would send out an announcement to all high schools in East Tennessee and to graduate schools that train administrators to recruit prospects. "Hopefully, well generate a good list," he said.
Persons interested in applying for the position of principal at Maryville High School should forward a resume to Mike Dalton, director of Maryville City Schools, 833 Lawrence Ave., Maryville, Tenn., 37803 or via fax at 865-977-5055 or via email at email@example.com. Resumes must be received by 4 p.m. Friday, June 1, 2007.
Qualifications for the position include appropriate licensure, experience as a secondary administrator (five or more years preferred), knowledge of effective schools research and the ability to lead a comprehensive high school program with high expectations for all students.
Jarnagin and his wife, Phyllis, have four children: 26-year-old Chris Jarnagin, 23-year-old Brandon Jarnagin, 21-year-old Sara Jarnagin and 18-year-old Caitlin Jarnagin.

Traffic safety campaign kicks off for 2007
Death does not respect state borders.
That was part of the message law enforcement officials brought May 17 to a press conference kicking off this years Hands Across the Border campaign.
This multi-jurisdictional campaign is intended to draw attention to the "Click it or Ticket" campaign, as well as other summer enforcement efforts such as the "100 Days of Summer Heat enforcement campaign.
Kendall Poole, director of Governors Highway Safety Office, was on hand for the event.
Poole said that when used correctly, seat belts have proven to reduce the rate of fatalities by 45 percent. "Regular seat belt usage is the most effective way to protect people against vehicle fatalities," he said.
"Were killing 1,200 people a year on highways across the state," Poole said. "Weve set a goal to reduce that 10 percent."
The THP wrote 55,500 citations in 2006 for seat belt and child restraint violations. Most of those violations occurred between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Sheriff James Berrong said grants from the Governors Highway Safety Office helped the office buy equipment, pay for training and hire personnel. The first grant for employees was in 2003 and it was a four-year grant that paid to hire six employees. Now another grant has paid for three employees. The deputies deal with speed enforcement, DUI enforcement and traffic investigations.
"Weve been very blessed in the relationship weve had with them," he said of the Governors Highway Safety Office.
State and MPD investigating $60,000 embezzlement at Maryville
High School
Maryville police released Monday that they are investigating a former employee of the Maryville school system after the state comptrollers office found evidence that more than $60,000 was embezzled from the high school between June 2005 and June of 2006.
Rene Brison, audit manager with the State of Tennessee Comptrollers Office, contacted the Maryville Police Department in December 2006 to report a theft of property by embezzlement. Brison said the office had been contacted by the finance director of the Maryville City Schools in June of 2006 and requested an audit because some funds were missing from June of 2005 to June of 2006.
According to the Maryville Police Department offense report, "Brison advised that their audit did reveal that funds were missing from Maryville High School, totaling over $60,000."
Maryville police Chief Tony Crisp said the State Comptrollers Office contacted him in early December 2006 and said that they were doing auditing work and that there was a possible embezzlement going on at the high school. "Later on we met with them again, myself and members of the investigative staff, and looked at records. We asked for certain records to be sent to us," Crisp said. Crisps office began the investigation when they received the requested reports and completed the offense report this week.
"We were still sifting though the documents and came to the point where we made an open and active case," he said. "We certainly are continuing our investigation, and certainly we feel like a crime has been committed. Our investigation is moving forward, and we think well bring closure some time in near future."
Maryville City Schools director Dr. Mike Dalton said his office hasnt received a report from the State Comptrollers Office yet. Anytime a school system has a question arise concerning financial matters, they are required to contact the Comptrollers Office and they determine whether there is a problem.
"That what we did last summer at the high school. We had an employee we felt had not followed proper procedure, and I asked the Comptrollers Off to investigate that," Dalton said.
The name of the employee was not listed on the police report. The individual was fired from the Maryville City School system following the 2006 school year.

Star Beacon
Every year at the Ashtabula County Technical and Career Campus students get the chance to show off their talents in front of their classmates at the school's annual talent show.
This year's show was blessed with nearly 30 talented acts that performed two shows on March 30, the last day of school before spring break. The acts consisted of dancing, singing, lip syncing, baton twirling and juggling.
Nick Negron and Juan Lopez said it wasn't easy to get together and perfect their act before the show.
"We were scrambling to practice, so I was nervous," said Negron.
Their act, in which Lopez played the acoustic guitar and Negron sang the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," got a tremendous ovation from the crowd at both shows.
Negron said it was one of the best high school experiences ever.

Behind the scenes
For any type of show, the performers are always the center of attention. At the end of a flawless act, many people never give a second thought to all of the hard work that went into making those scenes perfect.
The Computer Networking class at Ashtabula County Technical and Career Campus, led by their instructor, Scott Basen, knows exactly how much work must be put into making a show spectacular.
For many years, the CNET class has been working behind the scenes at the annual school talent show. The show requires a considerable amount of preparation, and the students in the class must start out by finding, editing or pulling out the vocals of a variety of songs given to them by the performers. Then, each act had to be cut down to three minutes in length.
The 10 CNET students were also responsible for setting up the audio system, karaoke machine, lighting and volume controls. The students also set up props for the show, such as the microphones and stands, and ran tests to make sure that everything worked correctly. A few of the classmates were also in charge of taking pictures and videos of the acts so that they could be put into a slideshow.
The set up, organization, participation and the cropping/editing of the pictures were all judged by Mr. Basen for a grade. The instructor worked with the class leading into the assignment, but in the end, the students ran the entire show.
"Just like the talent show is done by students; it is run by students as well," Mr. Basen said.
This gives the class a sense of pride and accomplishment in their work, and they did a great job overall. The preparation and set up for the show also gave the students practice in the fields of computer networking, computer maintenance, electronic engineering and audio/radio personnel.
One of the "behind the scenes" students from CNET, Luis Dudley, also performed an act in the show this year. Dudley competed in the individual talent competition and performed a song that he had written himself. Under his performing name of DJ LuDogg, Dudley has been writing, singing and creating the music for all of his positive, original, hip-hop, club and pop music since 2008. He also helps to organize events and many consider him to be a young entrepreneur.
Dudley was also nominated for A-Tech Student of the Month for the activities he performed in support of the talent show.

|Sponsored links, if any, appear in green.
As the current Google flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Nexus by Samsung is the first device to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The version for Verizon's LTE network in the U.S. is slightly thicker than the European model, but it also gets a larger battery. Otherwise, they're functionally the same - apart from the 15Mbps 4G downloads on the Verizon model, of course.
The super large, super high-resolution display on the Galaxy Nexus is a dream to look at, and the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system gives users something very new and interesting to work with. It's a good combination.
The phone does have a flaw, though. Reception, especially on 4G, can be a problem. Not everybody seems to experience the problem, but it only really shows itself in weaker signal areas. Apart from that, though, the Galaxy Nexus is every bit the hero smartphone that Google needs it to be to move Android to the next stage of its evolution. It's a great device.

A couple of months ago I had a couple of sites that seemed to receive the dreaded -30 penalty. To be fair they arguably deserved it as I had bent the rules slightly on what would be classed as an acceptable link building strategy. Basically too many links, similar anchor texts, low quality etc etc.
Rather foolishly of me I thought I could get away with some dodgy links on the side as I presumed the worst would happen would be that the links would be devalued, I would drop a little in rankings but nothing major. However I ended up with a drop of 30+ places across all key terms, which is a little more serious!
On further investigation the sites all had other minor little issues so I obviously cannot say that the penalty was 100% applied to the sites for the links, but I am pretty sure they are the root cause of the issue. One possible theory I came up with was the links triggered some alarms with the Google Algorithm and then it applied the penalty for the other minor issues which by all accounts had been around for years.
However over at Google groups I got involved in a discussion about a website called Sonic Shack receiving a penalty. One of the common responses on Google Groups is that the site probably doesn't have a penalty and they are just not ranking as well as they should, but in this case the website wasn't even ranking in the top 30 for its own name and website's with blogs or articles about this site were ranking on page one. This therefore gives me the impression it is a little more than the site just not ranking as well.
As with my sites this site has a few issues, slightly spammy titles, duplicate meta descriptions, canonicalization issues etc. It also had quite a large number of links from blog posts, and most of these blog were un-related and also using the same anchor text in the links. Also there were some sidebar links looking quite like paid links. It did however have a few decent links including one from Download Squad.
So anyway my reason for them receiving the penalty was for the links, I told them to try and remove the low quality paid for links, and get a few new higher quality links then file for reconsideration. This view point was apparently not shared amongst most of the other people in the discussion.
I was told that:
"If it would be 1% more effective/easier/cheaper to gain rankings by
bowling your competitors out than doing your own job well everybody
would start it and SERPs would be ruined in days."
"I'm still quite sure that Google Bowling does not exist in this
"A figment of your imagination. Out of MILLIONS of webmasters out there, only two have ever suggested it is possible. Dead simple – if "Google bowling" actually worked, it would overnight become the most exploited opportunity on the planet.!"
"What a load of rubbish!"
"Forget it. It's an escapist avenue."
"I'm referring to TODAY – end of Augiust, 2008. Neither here nor anywhere else relevant are there any mass complaints about "Google bowling". Whether or not it ever worked, it certainly doesn't now." (I stupidly posted some out of date examples)
"As to Yossarian's comment that Google might manually apply a penalty to random sites, this is nonsense – not only would this require way to much human time to do, it goes against Google's basic philosphy that they want their algo to be able to spot things – the best example of this is the famous 'total failure' Google bomb that had a link to the White House site of George Bush as the #1 result – Google had an AdWords link explaining this and explaining the reason they had not manually removed the link was because they feel it is more important to update their algo to be able to detect this sort of thing." (I had commented I would hope it would be a human that applied a penalty for link building rather than the algo as a human probably could tell if someone is building he links themselves or a competitor)"
So I guess I made some friends with that one.
JohnMu also got involved saying
"Hi welcome to the groups!
It might be that the links to your site are not counting the way they might have in the past. In general, it is important to us that links are not just exchanged, bought/sold or otherwise used in an attempt to manipulate rankings, as we have detailed in our help center article at
If you find that your site has issues with regards to our Webmaster Guidelines that can be resolved, I would recommend doing that and then submitting a reconsideration request, detailing the changes that you have made.
Hope it helps!
From this I would like to think that means the links are just devalued, I did respond asking that but I have had no response as of yet.
So from this it looks like I am a complete moron and know nothing. However I am pretty sure that quite a few other people believe incoming links can hurt a website.
Matt Cutts confirmed that Google bowling is theoretically possible in a Forbes article, though this was a year ago
"Matt Cutts, a senior software engineer for Google, says that piling links onto a competitor's site to reduce its search rank isn't impossible, but it's extremely difficult. "We try to be mindful of when a technique can be abused and make our algorithm robust against it," he says. "I won't go out on a limb and say it's impossible. But Google bowling is much more inviting as an idea than it is in practice."
He also commented on a popular thread regarding the penalty of Faraway Furniture
"ShyBoy, have you been collecting backlinks in any unusual ways? It looks like you may have, and I would pay special attention to that. For example, if you had been attempting to get PageRank via paid links on various templates, then when that PageRank stops flowing (e.g. if Google improves its detection in various ways), the fact that you have less PageRank can also mean that a site won't rank as well.
If that applies to you, my advice would be to pay special attention to that issue, in addition to the other good advice you've already gotten."
SE Roundtable did a poll on whether most minus X Google drops are associated with backlinks the results being:
- 7% said Yes (50 responses)
- 28% said No Idea (30 responses)
- 25% said No (26 responses)
106 responses probably isn't classed as a acceptable number considering the number of webmasters/SEOs out there.
And another post from SE Roundtable advising to check your backlinks
Go Compare was also penalised in January for what would seem questionable links building
JustSayHi appeared to receive a penalty for Widgetbait for link building
Slightlyshadyseo made a nice post on Negative SEO which includes comments about link spam
And well the list goes on..

Consolas Type Specimen Book
- Type Specimen Book: Consolas
Specimen Book for the Typeface Consolas
- As the final project for my Typography I class, we had to choose a typeface and create a specimen book (measuring 7 by 7 inches) for it. The book had to highlight the different styles of the typeface, its various symbols and ligatures, and so forth.For my book I chose the digital typeface Consolas and I incorporated photographs I took on a trip to Europe. I felt the juxtaposition of natural scenery and buildings would make a nice contrast with the very digital text.

Police say 'sophisticated' school drugs rings not widespread in NH
"I'd be a fool if I said drugs weren't being used here," said Nashua Police Lt. Frank Sullivan. "But something like what I've heard about the operation in Portsmouth, we've seen no evidence of that in Nashua. I like to think the partnerships we developed with school officials and students would alert us if there was one."
Two Portsmouth brothers, ages 15 and 16, were arrested by police, suspected of operating a large drug sales operation for high school students. It allegedly included international drug shipments and money laundering, said Portsmouth police.
The siblings were arrested after a police raid at the Portsmouth apartment where they live with their mother.
Police said they confiscated methamphetamine, heroin and ketamine, along with bath salts, hashish and marijuana - drugs they believe were sold to other students attending Portsmouth High School.
Police said they also found hypodermic needles, scales, small plastic bags, cellphones, laptops and knives.
"We have not seen teens running anything on that scale in the city that I can remember, and I've been here 17 years," said Manchester Sgt. Brian LaValle, of the city's Special Investigations Unit.
"Our team has very good relationships with students and administrators in the city's schools," said Lt. Ron Mello, who oversees the Juvenile Division of the Manchester Police Department, including a team of eight school resource officers. "You can never be sure, especially with the operation they broke up in Portsmouth, but I think we would hear about that from our contacts here."
Portsmouth Police Capt. Mike Schwartz, who oversees the city's school resource officer program, says the program has been reduced from three officers four years ago to one, covering five schools in the city.
"He works to stay connected in the schools, but he's spread a little thin," said Schwartz.
Schwarz said his department is continuing its investigation into whether the two teens were assisted by adults in running the ring.
He would not comment on whether there was evidence that drugs were sold on school grounds, whether more arrests may occur, or whether the resource officer alerted authorities to the presence of the alleged drug ring.
"As this is an ongoing investigation, I can't comment any further on those efforts," said Schwarz.
A proposal to add a second school resource officer to cover Portsmouth elementary schools has been discussed during budget sessions.
"It won't get us back to where we were, but it's a good step," said Schwarz.
Both the Nashua and Manchester school districts conduct random sweeps of student lockers and common areas inside school buildings as a way to deter drug sales and use by students. Schwarz said Portsmouth conducted similar sweeps in the past, but they were dropped due to funding cuts.
Drug sweeps at some New Hampshire high schools have prompted protests from parents who complained about perceived violations of their children's Fourth Amendment rights, including an unsuccessful 2007 lawsuit brought against ConVal Regional High School by parents.
Franklin cited reasons why the sweeps are legal, saying a sweep using dogs is not considered a search under the Fourth Amendment.
An "alert" received from a drug-sniffing dog gives police and school officials reasonable suspicion to search a student's property, and that no warrant is needed by school officials to conduct the search.
School administrators are told of the sweeps a week or more in advance, and school principals often accompany the police and the dogs through a school building.
Teachers are told the day of the sweep, typically in an alert message sent to a school email account, and keep students in classes while it is under way. Parents are alerted as well, via an automated phone message.
The Nashua School District adopted a policy in 2004 requiring all students to have doctor's orders and parental consent before they can receive any type of medication in school.
Lt. Sullivan said students caught with any medication - without a prescription - can be charged with a felony. Officers call the students' parents to determine whether they have a prescription.
What happens after a student is caught with drugs varies between districts. Some districts work with a student who has committed an infraction to get them connected with further resources; other schools have a mandatory 10-day suspension, with no exceptions. Consequences vary based on whether the infraction is a first offense, second offense, or made by a chronic offender. Consequences for athletes may be different.
Portsmouth School Superintendent Edward McDonough confirmed last week that disciplinary procedures against the teen brothers charged in the alleged ring have begun. The process includes a referral to the school board for a disciplinary hearing.
"We are following the process as outlined," McDonough said. "Unfortunately, the school administration cannot provide any detail on student disciplinary matters which, by law, are confidential."
According to data provided by the state's Department of Education, in the 2007-08 school year (the last year for which statistics were available), 806 students in New Hampshire received suspensions from school for drug use, 342 of those where in Hillsborough County. There were 16 students expelled for drug possession that year.
Results from the state's 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Study (YRBS), the most recent year the survey was administered, showed 23.1 percent of New Hampshire high school students who participated in the survey said they had been offered, had purchased, or had been given an illegal drug on school property during the previous year. Survey results showed that one in five high school students in New Hampshire, or 20.8 percent, claim to have taken a prescription drug at least once without a prescription. The drugs included OxyContin, Xanax and Ritalin.
Sullivan said in Nashua, from September 2010 to the present, 46 high school students have been arrested on drug possession charges. Of those, 31 arrests were for marijuana possession, while 15 involved prescription drugs. This school year, there have been nine arrests - eight on marijuana charges and one for prescription pills.
Lt. Sullivan said the school resource officers he oversees in Nashua have reported an overall increase in the use of prescription pills over the past two years, but that much of the drug activity happens off school property.
The last sweep using drug-sniffing dogs conducted in Nashua took place in September. Two teams of four dogs simultaneously sniffed out lockers and common areas in both Nashua high schools. Each team took about 30 minutes to go through the schools. No drugs were detected.
Derry Police Capt. Vern Thomas said his department assists in sweeps in that community about once a year. He believes the sweeps are a worthwhile activity.
Thomas said in 2011, 28 youths aged 11 to 17 were arrested on drug possession charges. That number went to 46 in 2012. From ages 18 to 24, the numbers went from 28 arrests in 2011 to 38 in 2012.
Lt. Ron Mello oversees the Juvenile Division of the Manchester Police Department, including a team of eight school resource officers. He said his department also conducts random, unannounced sweeps of city schools with drug-sniffing dogs. Mello said his department typically conducts two sweeps a year.
According to figures provided by Manchester police, there were 60 youths ages 18 and under arrested for drug possession in the Queen City in 2011. The number dropped to 55 in 2012.
Salem also conducts sweeps, usually twice a year, according to Superintendent Michael Delahanty.
"It's to let the students who are bringing drugs to school, if there are any, to know that it's not going to be tolerated," said Delahanty.
Sullivan said he felt the fact that no drugs were found at the schools was a good indicator of the success of his school resource officer program, showing the work school officials and school resource officers are doing is having a positive effect in preventing drug use.

The behind the scenes footage on this you really want to see!
Dear Eclipse fans,
Eclipse is getting an unfairly low score in IMDB (3.2/10) and I suspect Twilight heaters for giving bad marks regardless to the movie's quality. Let's for those who sow the movie and liked it go to imdb website and fix this .
Come on guys, Eclipse must get a better score ! it is the best in the saga this far!
I love Peter Facinelli! He is so cool!
Wow, that looked amazingly dangerous. Peter, with the chickens, it's best if you have an egg laying area separate from the main pen that you can access from outside the pen, like lift the lid, shoo the chickens, grab the eggs. In the meantime, get thick leather gloves. Or become a vampire.
Great interview as usual. Fach is so funny and, if you watch for no other reason, you have to watch to see the picture of his daughter's b-day gift….so cute!!!! Mia Hamm….hahahaha
