You could surely make a case that baseball manager Fredi Gonzalez has more pressing issues at hand with the Atlanta Braves, losers of their first three games, than to worry about players in the NBA flexing muscles in order to get their coaches fired.
But the second year manager of the Braves stepped away from the baseball diamond Saturday morning and voiced his concerns to reporters about what had occurred Thursday morning when Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy met with writers and said that NBA All-Star Dwight Howard wanted him fired.
Howard and the team's general manager dispute that claim.
NBA: Drama in Orlando, Barea Returns and More
Gonzalez reached out by phone to his good friend, and former neighbor in Miami, Van Gundy, to see if everything was alright.
"I asked him how it's going and then he said, 'You guys need to score some runs,'" Gonzalez said of Van Gundy, who reminded the Braves skipper of his opening day loss.
Gonzalez is no stranger to problems with star players while the manager for the then Florida Marlins. He benched Hanley Ramírez for not playing hard during a game in May 2010 and was later dismissed over a month later after the spat.
"I think the owner has to step up and sign Stan for a couple more years, unless Howard wants to take a pay cut and be the coach," Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez said he told Van Gundy he wished more ex-players or ex-coaches owned teams, referring to Magic Johnson, because "the dynamics of player and coach relationship" would then be better understood. He said that Van Gundy told them that could not happen because a lot of former coaches and players were not wealthy enough to own teams.
The Braves manager had his own message for Howard, who opted into next year's contract with the Magic.
"If he's really worried about winning, take a pay cut. Go less money and get more players. Bet he won't do that," Gonzalez said.
Just how would he have responded if any star asked for Gonzalez's job?
"I know what I would have said if he'd have walked into my office if I was the owner: Get your (butt) back on the court and play," said Gonzalez. "We'll let the guys coach. You play."

Welcome to Aliwalas.
Episode for Nov 12, 2004, Friday. Tuka and Kuwak had wondered what Ravenum sent them for. But now they knew. Rasmus was there waiting for them with a solemn look on his face. He removed his left arm-band and stretched out his arm to them. He flinched but a little as the two sidekicks, upon Ravenum's signal, burned something into his skin. He then held up that arm and showed his father the new scar. What was this? Nothing else but that same meaningful "A" mark that Savannah had faked. Sometimes, we imitate those we despise the most. Now, a queen may be a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. Some things were not adding up in Vultra's mind. Why did Ravenum show such kindness to Savannah? Why was he so quick to accept the daughter of a Mulawin? And the girl herself – what could she know about Bagwis? As she pondered these questions, the Ravena winged her way back to Tierra Fuego in search of answers. The impostor, meanwhile, discovered that she was now playing with her own life. With Alwina still alive – and she being that monster's real daughter – Savannah's own existence was now at stake. "Will I die if Vultra finds out that I made all this up?" she asked the bird. "You'd be dead meat, Savannah!" chirped Balasik. Just then, she heard the queen's voice outside, calling for her. However terrified, the girl had to keep her wits about her. "I should tell her that Alwina is still alive," she said to herself. "But how? I can't say that a bird told me!" She hid the cage out of sight then went out into the terrace. Vultra stood outside several meters away, flanked by her guards. "I have a question for you," she called aloud. Uh-oh. Now what? "Have you ever had the chance to meet your father? What can you tell me about Bagwis?" Savannah raised her brows and grinned stupidly. "Oh, that. Bagwis who? Oh! I mean… um…. er…." Vultra's stern face shone in the midday sun, her brows frowning as she waited for a response. "Are you deaf?" she asked. "Why won't you answer me?" As Savannah groped for a reply, Lucio entered the scene yelling and brandishing a pistol. The guards swiftly pinned him down and disarmed him. But it was enough to distract the queen. "We'll talk about this at another time," she said and left with her entourage. Saved by the bell, Savannah thought. Now, Gabriel and Terong had sojourned awhile when they had to ask… just who were they looking for? Paloma or Alwina? Gabriel still preferred the latter on the whole, of course, as this was their original purpose. Yet in the end, he said, "Never mind. Let's just see who we can find." They were about to meet a bird-woman, all right. But it was neither Paloma nor Alwina. One morning in Aliwalas, Bianca came running to Aviona with news. "There are people coming!" she warned. "I saw them!" Alarmed, the Mulawin went to see for herself, following the Girl Scout with spear in hand. But she could have done without help as her own keen senses informed her. The intruders had hidden themselves in some thick foliage and she knew it. Swinging back her arm, Aviona thrust her weapon deep inside. The blade found its mark and a man cried out in pain from behind the leaves. To her surprise and confusion, two familiar faces emerged: Terong and a wounded Gabriel. Terong and Aviona startled each other. It seemed to be disdain at first sight between the two. "You!" he cried. "You're the one in the cage!" "You're the ones who freed me!" she said. Sakmal the Musang (Kuskos's father) lunged at Terong from nowhere. "Now you will die!" "No!" he screamed. "Don't eat me! I taste bad!" Aviona broke up the commotion and calmed everyone down, confused as she was herself. She clearly remembered these two as those who had come to rescue her when she was being held captive in Tierra Fuego by the people. "We're your friends," Gabriel had said. "We're here to help you." Aviona and the others dressed up Gabriel's new wound as he lay unconscious. "Sorry," she told Terong. "Don't worry. Those herbs are wonderful. He will recover, you'll see." "You should look before you hit somebody," Terong said angrily. Vexed, she only looked at him from the corner of her eye. "I said, SORRY." When Gabriel came to, Terong took his hand and put it in Aviona's like in a handshake. "His name is Gabriel and I'm Terong." He was about to take that milky white hand into his own when he noticed her offended look. "Oh, sorry. You guys don't know about handshake, right?" She did not move. "My name is Aviona." "Aviona," whispered a tired Aguiluz. He thought he saw her in the distance, looking back at him and smiling. But this bleak desert was only toying with his senses and he knew it. "My eyes are just playing with me," he thought sadly as the specter Aviona vanished. Alwina, also, weary and half-asleep, was visited by dreams of her and Aguluz together. Just the two of them amidst the dunes, speaking softly and looking into each other's eyes. Wis, meanwhile, was suffering from a nose-bleed. Dakila tried to keep their spirits up in spite of it all. But this was just the beginning. They were having a conversation when they the sky darkened; a strong wind blew; the roaring of billowing sand was heard, and dust rose all around them. "Sandstorm!" Bagwis cried out. Displaying the resourcefulness that made him a Mulawin leader, he told them, "Form a shelter with your wings! Those with no wings, hide inside!" So four Mulawin and one Perico spread their wings and cast an umbrella around the others. The storm raged, and they stayed this way until it passed. Then they broke up and checked one another if everyone was all right. But scarcely had they breathed a sigh of relief when Aguiluz saw another disaster on their way next. "Tornado!" Now, Bagwis knew that a feathered umbrella would be useless against this. "That won't work this time," he said. "Run!" And the heroes sprang up at once for their lives.

Hospital for Special Care Urges Concussion Prevention During Fall Sports Season
Story Number is
Hospital for Special Care
As the fall sports season moves into high gear, Hospital for Special Care (HSC) urges coaches and athletes to understand the importance of preventing concussions.
In response to increasing concussion awareness and cases, HSC offers the Concussion Management Clinic. The program provides athletes, families, physicians, athletic trainers and coaches an individualized plan of care to enable patients to recover from concussions. Experts at the clinic conduct training sessions and workshops at HSC throughout the year.
A cerebral concussion -- also referred as a mild traumatic brain injury -- is a disruption of brain function caused by trauma to the head. This includes the head being struck, the head striking an object, or undergoing acceleration/ deceleration movement without trauma.
"Some of the immediate signs or symptoms of concussion can include loss of consciousness or alteration in mental status such as feeling dazed, confused or disoriented," said William Pesce, DO, chief of physiatry, Hospital for Special Care. "Other changes that may occur in neurological functioning are visual disturbance, dizziness and headache, loss of balance, weakness, nausea or vomiting."
Patients who attend the Concussion Management Clinic will have a thorough medical, neuropsychological evaluation. This evaluation includes:
• A history of injury
• An objective measurement of post-concussion symptoms
• Specialized cognitive, sensory-motor and behavioral evaluation and treatment, which may include:
o ImPACT testing and/or Cogstate Brain Injury Battery
o Physical therapy evaluation and vestibular therapy
• Speech therapy and cognitive rehabilitation
o BITS (Bioness Integrated Therapy System) used to evaluate and improve abilities in individuals who have sustained traumatic injuries as well as improve performance in competitive athletes
• Neuropsychological examination and rehabilitation counseling
• Parent and family education regarding:
o Monitoring of symptoms
o Recovery from concussion
• Medication management if needed for persistent symptoms
• Return to play based on protocol guided decisions
• Type and duration of activity restrictions or modifications based on evidence based practice.
Community Resource Team
The concussion team is available as an educational resource to discuss prevention strategies with athletic directors, coaches, student athletes and parents within the community. Training sessions and workshops also will be provided throughout the year.
Clinical neuropsychologist Timothy Belliveau, Ph.D., ABPP, will provide weekly concussion and concussion recovery educational sessions, a free service for patients and family members at the Hospital for Special Care Outpatient Clinic.
To request additional information or to schedule an appointment call 860.827.4924, option 1. Clinic hours of operation are Tuesdays from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.

Our utility firms provide us all with the unglamorous but necessary products which we need to live in the modern world; essential things like energy (electricity and gas) and water, as well as almost-essentials like bank accounts and telephones too. Some of these firms, like the ones which provide our food, clothes and TV, produce products which we like, and rate highly (with the recent – and hopefully temporary – exception of the beef industry). But others – like energy, water, banks and broadband – make us feel ripped off and we consistently give them rock-bottom scores on everything from value for money to quality of service and overall customer satisfaction.
This isn't good enough. We all need these products every day so, when they let us down with high prices or poor service, everybody suffers. It imposes a deadweight cost which holds back our economy, slowing growth and making Britain less dynamic. And the human cost falls most heavily on vulnerable and less well-off families too.

Cork Cine Club presents THE GATEKEEPERS (Israel – documentary), Thursday 24 October at 8pm
Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary
In an unprecedented series of interviews, six former heads of Shin Bet, the Israel Security Agency, speak about Israel's war on Palestinian resistance. They candidly discuss their decisions, rationalisations and regrets, and reflect publicly on their actions. What these tough-minded men have to say is stunning and edifying in equal measure. Hard questions are raised in this documentary that the Los Angeles Times calls "riveting from beginning to end". What constitutes acceptable "collateral damage"? What is the virtue of a "proportional" response?
"It is hard to imagine a movie about the Middle East that could be more timely, more painfully urgent, more challenging to conventional wisdom on all sides of the conflict… If you need reassurance or grounds for optimism about the Middle East, you will not find it here. What you will find is rare, welcome and almost unbearable clarity." – New York Times
Director: Dror Moreh. Israel, 2012. 95 minutes. Cert: Club. Language: Hebrew

Best Bait Choices
- Grubs: Grubs are small lures that are usually used to catch larger fish. Grubs are great for use in highland reservoirs where there is little cover for the fish. The grub is much like a bare jig head that has a soft plastic body to attach to the hook. You'll want to use them most often in clear water conditions.
- Jigs : Jigs are best used in water that is clear to murky and in water temperatures that are below 60 degrees. The jig is considered to be a "presentation" lure and the ideal way to use them is by making them look as alive as you can. The jig is essentially lead-weighted bait that has one hook. You'll want to add a trailer to the end of the hook for the best results.
- Plastic worms: If you want to catch that trophy fish you'll probably want to use a plastic worm. This is because the plastic worm is one of the most effective lures for catching any type of big fish. Plastic worms have a thin and long profile with a lifelike action that attracts them instantly to bass. You'll have to learn how to use a plastic worm by touch, feel, and practice. The more that you practice that better results you'll achieve. The one thing that you need to keep in mind is that the fish needs to see the worm before it will hit it. Therefore a plastic worm is best used in clear water.
- Lure color: Choose lures that are all black or all white. A mix of black and red also works quite well. There will be the odd time when fluorescent colors, such as bright yellow or green, will work well but you'll need to experiment with this.

Spinal Decompression is the relief of pressure on a pinched nerve of the back. It can be used to treat chronic back pain such as bulging disc, herniation, sciatica and disc herniation. Spinal decompression is not for everyone as some conditions are very acute and would benefit from manual traction or other modalities. Chronic pain of the back can be helped with Spinal Decompression. Spinal Decompression has one lying on a table and fastened to a pulley that is programmed to pull a certain amount to help achieve decompression. It can be quite successful and is often used when other modalities do not provide any relief. Results are often seen within several treatments however more may be required. If you have any questions about Spinal Decompression/Traction contact our staff at Dynamic Physiotherapy.

A lot has happened in the month since the Onalaska's last city council meeting.
Onalaska's police chief resigned suddenly, the fire chief announced he'd be retiring soon and the municipal judge has been under pressure to resign.
Tonight, the council might cast a vote of 'no confidence' in Judge John Brinckman, who has said the handling of traffic tickets for Onalaska is not one of his specific duties.
"It's OK for somebody to say, 'Resign,'" Council president Bob Muth said. "Well, what happens afterwards? Let's have some understanding of what's going on or what could happen before you start rushing in.
Muth pointed out Brinckman serves several communities as municipal judge. Onalaska could withdraw from that joint court
"I've asked the simple question, 'Suppose Judge Brinckman decides to resign. What happens?'" Muth said. "There has to be a special election, I'm assuming?"
Muth added that there's only so much the city can do.
"We've got peple trying to dismiss him and we haven't got the authority," Muth said.
Mayor Joe Chilsen wanted Brinckman to speak at tonight's council meeting but the judge said he'd rather discuss the situation in a different setting.
As it turns out, the mayor is out of town and won't be at the meeting, anyway.

***This is a new adult contemporary novel and contains sexual content and graphic language. It is not intended for young adult readers.***
My Review: As I begin reading the second of The Take it Off novels I am quickly taken off into uncharted waters. I continue to dive deeper into the story wanting to find out what awaits me with every page I turn. I am not disappointed at all as Tease takes off leaving me breathless wishing I had a pool of water to cool down in. I totally love the characters in this story Harlow (I love her name) is a self sufficient take no crap from anyone sort of girl. Until hard times hit and she needs money she goes to the one place she had never thought of going a strip club and lands a job as a stripper. A job she has no idea how to do nor is she sure she can do it. Harlow is shown the ropes so to speak by one of the other girls Roxie and they become quick friends. The first night of work Harlow meets Cam he's the hottest guy Harlow has ever met and he leaves her mind wondering about all the things she would like to do with him. He comes to her aid the first night and it's all smooth sailing from there or is it? Things start getting strange and crazier by the minute and Harlow gets caught up in a world of darkness and murder. Will she make it out alive to find out if Cam is the man of her dreams or does she lose everything including her own life. Tease is a excellent story with enough mystery and intrigue to leave me on the edge of my seat. I can not sing enough praises about Cambria Hebert's Take it Off novels they are just the sort of book you need to pick up and read after a grueling day of whatever. I am looking forward to the next novel by Cambria as I positive it to will be a must read for me!

Future POS, local artist celebrate Butler-birthed classic
May 22, 2017
BUTLER, Pa. – It was one of the most difficult tasks in automotive history: Construct a revolutionary new vehicle for the Army, from scratch, in 49 days, and give the job to a bankrupt car company in a small Pennsylvania town.
While it sounds impossible, Butler's American Bantam Car Company delivered the goods in 1940, rolling out a four-wheel-drive pack horse for hauling soldiers: The Jeep.
Count Future POS and a local artist among the fans of the iconic vehicle. The point-of-sale software company teamed with Butler artist Eileen Stroup to decorate a Jeep sculpture for display at the company's Route 8 corporate headquarters. The partnership dovetails with the June 9-11 Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler that will draw up to 15,000 Jeep aficionados.
"It was really great fun to work on a project like this," Stroup said, adding she logged 20 hours assembling and painting the Jeep in the Future POS garage.
Stroup said her wooden, two-dimensional relief sculpture depicts a BRC-40 Bantam Jeep, the 40-horsepower vehicle Bantam Car Company built 87 years ago.
She described the sculpture as 8 feet long, 4 feet tall and 4 inches deep. Stroup used royal blue paint for the body and light permanent green for the dots, mixed with yellow.
"For the Future POS Jeep, I worked with the company's graphic designers to refine this design," she said. "They sent me some pictures, and I made a few recommendations based on what I know works well on the Jeep and would be 'paintable' by me. I have painted about 30 of the 150 Jeeps out there so I know what works well and fits on the sculpture."
Stroup said her Jeep is large enough to make a statement while she used composite wood materials to keep costs down.
She started crafting them in partnership with Butler Downtown in 2011.
"What's cool is many businesses, even after seven years, still have their Jeeps," she said. "I was contacted by a soldier in Afghanistan who wanted a Jeep to take to Jeep festivals around the country. I told him I would paint it for no fee."
Butler's birth of the Jeep captured the attention of Nevada historian Paul Bruno, who penned "Project Management in History: The First Jeep."
"I first heard of the Bantam story while watching a History Channel documentary Big Rigs of Combat: Jeep," Bruno said. "As I began researching the history of Bantam's achievement, it became clear this firm with no money, a vehicle with a revolutionary scope, an impossible timeframe and a daunting quality challenge - their vehicle would undergo the most brutal of testing at the hands of the Army – represented an astounding tale of talent, creativity, ingenuity, persistence, luck, but that most people had never heard."
According to the Bantam Jeep Festival website, the Army asked 135 tractor and automobile manufactures to design a reconnaissance car for military deployment. Two companies responded to the bid, The American Bantam Car Company in Butler, and Willys-Overland Motors of Toledo, Ohio. Since Bantam promised to deliver a prototype in 45 days, it won the job.
"The Bantam Jeep not only represents a milestone in the U.S., or for that fact world automotive industry, it also represents, one of the greatest accomplishments in automotive, if not of all industrial history," Bruno said.
Bantam produced 2,675 Jeeps before shutting down operations in 1956, according to the Bantam Jeep Festival website. The Jeep name survived and spawned commercial models such as the Wrangler, Grand Cherokee and Liberty. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles owns Jeep.

Voluntary 'fair-trade'
From Washington Post columnist Marcela Sanchez:
We shop in a world economy whether we like it or not. The choice some consumers are making -- and hopefully more make in the future -- is to purchase products that more directly benefit those currently left behind. Happy shopping!
I have no problem with people choosing to buy goods from whomever they desire. However, why do I feel this is only the first step along the road to more protectionism, which definitely does not help 'those currently left behind'?
I find the first sentence
I find the first sentence quite curious. Under what system do millions of people have a hand in their financial future? Using the political process to crowd-out and replace the market process doesn't give people any more control; instead of being just one consumer among many, individuals become just one voter among many. Personally, I feel I have much more control over my life as a consumer than as a voter. I suspect the same is true for most people in general as well, if they honestly think about it.
So Vietnamese coffee farmers
So Vietnamese coffee farmers are less important than South American coffee farmers, or what? It seems to me that if Vietnamese coffee is cheaper, then Vietnamese coffee farmers are making less, so they're even more "left behind" (whatever the hell that means) than the SA farmers.
Obviously, I've got no problem with people choosing to buy SA coffee over Vietnamese coffee if it makes them feel better about themselves, but it's a pretty twisted logic that values South Americans over relatively poorer Vietnamese.
And I agree with Micha. I have no idea what it means for someone to "have a hand in their financial future" (since the author of this article is obviously using the phrase in a way to which I'm unaccustomed), but I suspect consumers feel more empowered than people standing in line for bread.

development, and many people from outside the U.S. can help them achieve this.
One aspect of the website that personalizes the organization is the first-hand accounts, blog entries submitted by members of the board. Although general information and bio sections are available for each member of the board, the personal entries act as testimonies in support of immigration reform. Each of the members has a passion for this cause and by sharing that passion with readers, they hope that others will understand why they are so passionate. They feel that our current system hinders the potential for businesses, as it limits access to innovation and valued skills, and many have experienced the detrimental effects of this rigid barriers.
The Illinois Business Immigration Coalition can be a great resource for immigrants and supporters of immigration reform. Its supporters' dedication to building well-rounded businesses with employees from around the world encourages political and legislative action, enriching the lives of its current and future workers and supporters.

What are the pros? Good flavor
What are the cons? Larger seeds
This is one of the first zucchini plants I grew (and tasted). The flavor is mild and very good so much so even our children grew to like and ask for zucchini. Pick them when smaller to avoid the larger seed development.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?
9 out of 10 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Great flavor, early
What are the cons? not as white as I expected
We grew this variety in the interior of Alaska. It survived being ignored and thrived well into August with very little tending. My son grew one to 6.45 lbs and won first place for giant zucchini at the state fair. Highly recommend this as a very easy to grow and early fruiter. Very mild flavor. I like to eat it raw, it's sweet almost like a dry cucumber.
7 out of 8 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Prolific, no bitterness
What are the cons? n/a
I grew this variety last year along with black beauty and lemon, and this one was the most productive. Great for cooking, but the larger seeds made it less useful for baking (shredding the seeded part on a box grater reduced it to a pile of mush). I'd still grow it for the cooking though.
16 out of 17 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Lots of fruit, large growing
What are the cons? None
We have loved growing this zucchini! The fruits grow very large and very fast. This is especially impressive for our 7300ft altitude and very dry climate. The plant doesn't take up much space either, maybe a 3ftx3ft area per plant.
The Zucchini was very useful in all ways too. Good for grilling, eating raw with a dip, baking bread, baked seed (It has larger seed like a pumpkin), and is super easy to save the seed for the next year. We only grew 3 plants and they produced more than enough for our family of 4! It has a mild taste, and they keep after being picked for months!
I highly recommend this type for any backyard garden
13 out of 14 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Good growers, big producers,
What are the cons? None. Will plant again!:)
These grow super fast! All of my squash seeds I get from bikers creek do really well, both winter and summer. I am a certified organic farmer, so the only thing I used was organic chicken manure to fertilize. These produce really well, and grow faster than my yellow summer squash, even faster than the green bush varieties. I use these the same way I would use zuchinni. They also dry nicely for winter storage. Definitely worth adding to your garden. I have these in a raised bed that get only morning and afternoon sun. No problems with diseases or bugs.

Rebecca Loos says she has "no regrets" about Beckham affair
- Updated: September 8, 2016
Rebecca Loos says she has "no regrets" about alleged affair with David Beckham as she reveals new life as Nordic mountain wife.
In 2004, Rebecca Loos rose to fame after claiming to have a four-month affair with her then-boss, David Beckham.
The fall-out from her claims were diabolical with David vehemently denying her version of events and labelling the story as "ludicrous".
Rebecca was immediately dismissed from her position and went on to star on a range of reality TV shows.
The Spanish-born beauty eventually fell in love with medical adviser Sven Christjar Skaiaa, who worked on one of the shows she appeared on.
She is now married to Sven and shares two sons with him.
Rebecca has since shunned the spotlight and lives a low-key life in Norway.
In a new interview with the MailOnline, the 39-year-old says she's never been happier.
"I took a lot of wrong decisions, and got talked in to a lot of things. Of course if I could go back in time I might change some things, but wouldn't everyone? I have no regrets," she explained to the publication.
These days, you're more likely to catch Rebecca enjoying a hike in the stunning wilderness of her new hometown Hemsedal than posing on the cover of men's mags.
Rebecca says her main priority is looking after her sons Magnus, seven, and Liam, four. She also works part-time at Sven's medical surgery.
"I was never going to be one of those women who put their career on hold, who put their hand out to their husband, to ask permission. I used to think that was the worst," the brunette beauty told the MailOnline
"All that has changed. I feel like I've grown up. Now we are a team."
The former PA, who is about to unveil a blog about her life in Scandinavia, says she takes pride in keeping a tidy home and providing healthy lunches for her kids.
"I clean the house, scrub the bathroom, make dinner every night, do the washing – I love caring for my home and family."
Her wholesome lifestyle is a far cry from the early noughties but Rebecca believes everything that played out happened for a reason.
"I like the way my life has taken me. If I hadn't been famous, I would not have been invited on the TV show where I met my husband Sven and had my lovely boys. I would not have had the life I have now."
At the time of the scandal, Rebecca gave an explosive tell-all interview with SKY TV alleging her professional relationship turned romantic with Beckham as her grew lonely in Madrid.
"I think the chemistry between David and I was so strong and people were not happy because I was being very unprofessional and he's a married man," she said at the time.
"He is very generous lover. He gives a lot. He pleases. He knows what you want. It's all about you and not so much about him. It's nice."
David vehemently denied Rebecca's allegations and released a damning statement.
"During the past few months I have become accustomed to reading more and more ludicrous stories about my private life. What appeared this morning is just one further example."
"The simple truth is that I am very happily married. I have a wonderful wife and two very special kids. There is nothing any third party can do to change these facts," his statement read.
Fast forward to 2016 and David and Victoria Beckham are the proud parents to four children and recently celebrated their 17 year wedding anniversary.

Four men were murdered in separate shootings across the country between Monday night and yesterday afternoon.
The first incident took place at Mt D'or Road, Mt D'or, around 8 pm on Monday night.
Residents contacted police after they heard of volley of gunshots in the community and found Kwame Carr's bullet-riddled body lying next to tree moments after. Carr was shot in his head, chest and feet and police believe he was attacked by two gunmen as they recovered both 9 mm and .38 calibre spent shells at the scene.
At around 4 am yesterday, police were called to the scene of another shooting in Laventille. Residents of Upper Wharton Street, Laventille, heard a gunshots and later found the victim lying at the side of the road. The victim had not been identified up to late yesterday.
The last shooting took place around 2 pm yesterday, when Akim "Simple" Parkinson was murdered by three gunmen in Cocorite.
According to reports, Parkinson was walking along a track near his Waterhole Road, Cocorite home when he was ambushed by the gunmen.
They shot him several times and ran away. Parkinson was taken to the St James Medical Facility but died while receiving treatment.
Homicide detectives are also probing the murder of 25-year-old football referee kyle Carabon, whose body was found near the Tableland High School yesterday.

Sometimes you just need a cheeky pick-me-up, you know? Like when your other half gets to eat garlic bread with Bolognese and you can't, or when you really have a craving for some haribo sweets….
Unfortunately, I've not come up with any amazing solutions, but maybe something that will take the edge off, starting with aubergine crisps:
Those vegetable crisps you can buy in the supermarket might seem like a good option on the face of it, but they are typically made up of beetroot, parsnip and carrot – all of which have a high GI when cookedL So I tried frying aubergine slithers, but because they are quite a wet, spongy vegetable, probably absorbed a bit too much oil for my liking and even after 8 mins, didn't crisp up amazingly. Looking on the internet, I may try brushing the aubergine with oil and baking until crispy instead.
One less fiddly way of getting a 'naughty' treat however – sugar-free jelly! One little Hartley's sachet gets you four puds, or make the mixture with a bit less water and you end up with something that has a closer texture to some jelly-sweets:D

A new collection of prints from my favorite paintings
I have been painting in a different way in this last year. Almost like channeling something new from a magical place beyond my mind. Each painting has been inspired to reach a deep residence in the soul. The eight archival prints below, from my latest paintings, are available in two sizes – 8″ x 10″ ($85.00) or 11″ x 14″ ($100.00) and are mounted on a pre-cut white gallery mat. (Frame not included.) To order, choose the print/s you are interested in or contact me with questions or other sizes at [email protected] Enjoy!
I am a healer within my heart. I paint to express and inspire; to connect to passion, emotion and spirit. — Greer Jonas
Bird Woman
The Bird Woman print is from a recent painting of mine that represents a new a creative freedom that is coming through me. It is a freedom to fly and to be unique and proud. I have never painted anything like it before. To me she dares to be bold and colorful, yet in her eyes is a curiosity about what is ahead. Note: painting is still for sale. Inquire about it at [email protected]

Fire Rooster Dancer
The Fire Rooster painting originated back in January of 2017 for the Chinese New Year "Fire Rooster". Painting it was a challenge for me as I did not resonate with the abrupt energy of Rooster. After a transformative dance workshop in Italy in May, I returned to the painting and let it teach me the story of dancing through the fire of my own resistance. Within days the powerful energy of Fire Rooster was shown to me. It is now considered one of my most inspirational pieces. I do not consider this a dated print that you can only have for 2017. Its message of charged energy will help all for a lifetime.

The Ganesh print is from a painting very dear to my heart. Ganesh is the Hindu god who represents the perfect balance between compassion, power and beauty. Often known as the force to remove all obstacles. He is mostly portrayed with the head of an elephant and a big belly. I love the power and the humor of Ganesh.
Quan Yin
The Quan Yin print is from a painting which had many layers for me. I began with a statue of Quan Yin, goddess of compassion. She took on many forms as I painted her. At one moment, it looked like a boy, and then, as I tried to create a more yin (feminine) look in her face, I discovered that she has an androgynous nature.
The background transformed into a world of mystery as she sat her on a lotus, with feet dipped into the magical waters of the spirit. Click here to order the Quan Yin print.
The 33 print is created from the painting that was used in my Numerology Journey Oracle cards. 33 represents the master number of creativity and service. It is filled with compassion and light.
Click here to order the 33 print.
The Lemuria print is from a painting that transformed several times. Its origin was from a black and white photograph from a seascape in Martha's Vineyard. It turned into a scene from another world that a friend coined "Lemuria", Note: the original painting (24 "h x 20″w acrylic painting on wood panel) is still available for purchase. Contact me for further information at: [email protected]

The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary painting, inspired by Ellie Kirk's magnificent Sanctuary was a labor of love. It began when I took the photo. The view from the lake into the trees was like a vortex of mystery and fairies dancing in the water. My inspiration was to reach that place of unknown potential (numerologically called "zero"). It is a place where all opportunities are possible if you just move past the fear of the unknown. Click here to order The Sanctuary print.
White Owl Spirit
The White Owl Spirit followed me in dreams and in my friend's dreams. I was asked to do several commissioned paintings on Owl. What is Owl that people are so mesmerized by it? In a spiritual sense the Owl totem is a deep connection with wisdom and intuitive knowledge – the ability to see truth beyond illusion and deceit.
The painting was purchased literally as soon as I hung it on the wall at a gathering. Click here to order the White Owl Spirit print.
Wolf Spirit
The Wolf Spirit Print is from a painting that moved me so deeply during my creative process. Friends commented that you could almost hear the wolf howling as you looked at the original. In spiritual teachings, the wolf is the teacher and helps you trust in your feelings and choices while remaining strong and fearless. The painting was sold almost immediately after the paint dried, but prints are available in various sizes. Click here to order the Wolf Spirit print.

Alvin (Bud) Dupree: EDGE, Kentucky, 6'4, 264lbs
And I heard as it were the noise of thunder.
One of the four beasts saying "come and see",
and I saw, and behold a man in blue, he doth wear number 2.
Length, loose hips, active hands, explosive power. These are all key traits in pass rushers. Bud Dupree checks each box. Dupree was the constant focal point of opposing offenses. They ran away from him, slid protection his way, and kept TE's and RB's in an effort to slow him down. Yet every game, there he was making an impact. Add in the fact he plays with a dogged relentlessness and has a high football IQ, and let's just say the girlfriend didn't appreciate the idea of remaking "You, Me, and Dupree".
Dupree is a high quality run defender. He has active, violent hands that he uses to jolt the blocker back at impact, and then disengage him. He does a good job at setting the edge while not getting upfield, and effectively giving a huge lane to his inside. Teams don't run at him very often. He still finds ways to bring down running backs. There is an old offensive line coach adage about leaving a backside defender unblocked on a perimeter play the other way: "If he can chase down our running back, well shit, we need a new running back". Sorry coaches, your running back works just fine, Dupree is just that explosive.
Dupree rushes out of both a three-point and standup position, from the left and right side. His first step is electric. Most players lose some explosiveness when playing out of a two-point stance, Dupree gets low in his standup stance and absolutely uncoils. He uses this in combination with a quick move to knock down the offensive players' hand and a quick rip. It's enough to give even the best pass protectors a headache. Overall his pass rush moves are fairly limited. He mainly just has the quick rip. His ability to hand fight and his speed do help him work inside to counter. He has a rip back to the inside that is workable, but unspectacular. He did however throw a couple of club-rip counters, which had me giddily squealing.
Overall his burst and hand fighting should get him by while his position coaches help him develop more complex pass rushing moves.
Dupree drops very well for a man of his size. He is better in coverage than most two down ILB's. His fluid hips allow him to pedal quickly while keeping his eyes in the backfield. He's covered backs and slot receivers on short drag routes and TE's on wheel routes.
Grade: 1st (top 10)
If you only watch one game: Mizzou (2014)

Jamie Waldron has joined SRiCheyenne as a partner and will launch the firm's West Coast media and entertainment executive search operations from Los Angeles. The company is a global executive search and consulting boutique and was created in January following the merger of the US-based media and content recruitment experts Cheyenne Group and UK-headquartered SRi (formerly Sports Recruitment International).
The appointment of Waldron is the third senior appointment in quick succession for the global boutique firm following Keith McAllister joining SRiCheyenne as a partner to lead the digital media, technology and private equity practice in New York, and Ashling O'Connor appointed to lead SRi's EMEA digital, media and content practice from London.
Waldron joins from his previous position of president of Sucherman Group, a management consulting and executive search firm, where he won and executed C-suite-level assignments for a wide range of blue-chip media and entertainment clients.
Before his career as an executive search professional, Waldron was president of Team Entertainment Group, Television Packaging Agent at Creative Artists Agency, EVP Programming at Pearson Television North America, SVP at Gerber/ITC Entertainment and Director, Creative Affairs at Viacom Productions.
"Jamie is a leading expert in the strategic and organisational trends that are driving the ever-quickening evolution of the Media, Content and Entertainment industries," said Jay Hussey, CEO of SRiCheyenne. "I'm delighted to welcome him to SRiCheyenne as we help our clients navigate the changes and disruptions in their markets. Jamie's experience on the industry-side, coupled with knowledge gained as a world-class executive search professional, will be of huge benefit to our clients."
Jamie Waldron commented: "I've witnessed firsthand how technology, audience fragmentation and globalisation are all bringing disruptive change to the media and entertainment industry landscape and how companies large and small are seeking new approaches to talent and organisation building to survive and thrive.
"SRiCheyenne's industry expertise, global reach, and boutique approach is unique in the marketplace and gives clients an extraordinary edge. I'm thrilled to be onboard," he concluded.

LAKE WORTH -- With a crowd of about 100 people watching, a police detective and a pyschiatrist coaxed a distraught woman from atop a bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway on Tuesday.
``She just wanted some reassurance that the world wasn`t against her,`` said an exhausted but relieved Sgt. Robert Walton, who headed the police negotiating team. ``We had to make her trust us.``
A group of onlookers that included members of the media, police, surfers and pedestrians attempting to cross the bridge broke into applause and cheered as the woman, aided by her son, stepped over the bridge railing to safety.
Walton was one of the first officers to arrive on the bridge after police received the call shortly after 3 p.m.
Rose Johnson, 44, a former West Palm Beach-area palm reader, stood clinging to a railing 60 feet above the water for 90 minutes before abandoning her position.
Johnson apparently was driven to the center of the drawbridge by a man, police said. That man was taken into protective custody, Walton said.
Alfred Bowers said he was walking with his wife and daughter west across the bridge at 3:05 p.m. when a car stopped in front of them and the woman and a man got out. The car stopped so quickly that two cars driving behind them were involved in a minor traffic accident, Bowers said.
The pair argued briefly and then the woman climbed over the railing of the bridge, he said.
``We really didn`t know what they were arguing about -- it sounded like they were speaking a foreign language,`` Bowers said. ``All of a sudden, she just climbed over the rail.``

Perhaps you, like Jon Stewart and me, sign up for campaign emails as part of the job. Or perhaps you're simply a Barack Obama supporter. Are you too getting just a little weary of them?

PRI Annual Assessment
The PRI annual assessment process has been designed by PRI to evaluate the PRI's progress, by analysis of the progress of signatories against the six PRI principles and their Responsible Investment approach. For those signatories that choose to publish their responses ( We believe that it is important to be transparent on these issues and ECP's assessment can be viewed below), it is a tool to disclose responsible investment activities.
In addition to mapping the progress of the whole Initiative and providing a reporting/transparency tool, the survey is designed to provide a methodology for assessing the efforts of individual signatories. It provides an overview of the main characteristics of the organisation. It summarises the aggregate score for each module and the median score.
Scores have been calculated based on signatories' self-assessment and using the scoring methodology approved by the PRI Assessment Group.

Ford said Tuesday it will add 4.5 million older-model vehicles to the long list of those recalled because a defective cruise control switch could cause a fire.
The latest voluntary action pushes Ford's total recall because of faulty switches to 14.3 million registered vehicles over 10 years, capping the company's largest cumulative recall in history involving a single problem.
The recall covers 1.1 million Ford Windstar minivans that had a small risk of fire due to internal leaking from the switches. Ford said in a letter to regulators that it found a small number of reported fires linked to the problem.
The remaining 3.4 million vehicles are Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models. Ford said there were no reports of fires with those models, most of them trucks and sport utility vehicles, but that they were included in the recall because they use the same switches.
Ford advised owners of all vehicles covered by the recall to park them outside until they are mailed instructions by the end of the month on how to get repairs.
The recall covers: 1995-2003 Ford Windstar; 2000-2003 Ford Excursion diesel; 1993-1997 and 1999-2003 Ford F-Super Duty diesel; 1992-2003 Ford Econoline; 1995-2002 Ford Explorer; 1995-2002 Mercury Mountaineer; 1995-1997 and 2001-2003 Ford Ranger; and 1994 Ford F35 Motorhome vehicles.

Review: Southern Bastards #5
So here we are, back in Craw County after a brief hiatus. We come back to a little bit of a breather. A little bit of place setting. And that's okay, because we learn a lot this episode too.
One of the big questions about the first arc was who exactly is Coach Boss? Earl said they played football together, but past that we knew nothing. How did he become so powerful? How did he become comfortable enough to kill a man in the street, in front of plenty of witnesses, and think he could get away with it? (He even went to the funeral and gave the sheriff the business!) While we don't learn that, we do learn a lot about the man himself.
Coach Boss is ordinary, except for one defining trait: he doesn't give up. In flashbacks he's told that he's terrible at football, and that he should quit. His family is insulted, and he's told he should quit. He's sexually assaulted, and he's told he should quit. But he gets right back up and makes for the tackling block, like nothing even happened. So we learn that he's an average player with an unhappy childhood, which is not a unique history, but he's also the most stubborn man in Craw County. He makes it work. And he wants people to remember it, which is why he tempts fate and puts Earl's stick (the weapon Boss used in the murder) right up on the wall of his barbeque joint. Fair enough.
Through a few wordless panels we also learn a lot about present day Coach Boss. His home is modest; he's the only one sleeping in his bed; the empty half of his closet, and the one high heel on the floor that he hasn't picked up, imply that he used to be married or be in some kind of relationship, which in turn implies a gloomy former life. These panels are drawn in pale, muted colors, which make the scene stand out from the red, heat soaked panels of the flashbacks. It gives the scenes of his home life a sterile feel; it makes him seem lonely.
The rest of the book is given to the funeral, which is okay, as well as the introduction of presumably major players who will soon be introduced/play a large role, which is much more interesting. We get a reference to a hunter who lives in the woods, twin young women who own the bank, maybe a reference to the Dixie mafia, a sick mayor and his wife (who most likely wields the power), as well as a panel solely focused on the sheriff, who was introduced in the last arc. Earl's daughter is finally given a name (Berta), and I hope she comes to town really soon. She ought to bring Hell with her.
All of these pieces of story are pulled together by the once again incredible artwork. I already mentioned the coloring choices, but this issue proved again that Jason Latour is just as deft with quiet scenes as he is with violence. The scenes at the funeral lose none of their grit just because there's a lot of talking.
Now that we know a little bit more about Coach Boss, and the table has been set, I'm really excited for what will hopefully be a big next issue. Bring the pain, Berta!

The G's: Past, Present & Future!!!
The world saw its 1st 3G network deployed by NTT DoCoMo in Japan (2001), and we got our first 3G network in late 2008. The differentiating feature of 3G from 2G is the increased data rate of the order of up to 2 Mbps and simultaneous transmission of voice and data at high-speed. 3G networks need WCDMA (Wideband CDMA) along with 3G enabled handsets, and the emphasis is towards packet data in 3G against voice data in 2G. The target feature of 3G networks was to offer robust connectivity for streaming videos, web browsing and turn by turn GPS navigation. To further increase the data rate and to allow for the seamless movement of mobile users within heterogeneous networks, the 4G (4th Generation) networks emerged through 3.5G, 3.75G, and 3.9G. HSUPA (High-Speed Uplink Packet Access) & HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) are features of 3.5G and give theoretical data rates of 5.8 and 14 Mbps, respectively. HSPA+ (High-Speed Packet Access enhanced), a feature of 3.75G further increased the data rate to up to 28 Mbps. The HSOPA (High-Speed OFDM Packet Access) is a key feature of 3.9G that was (mis)interpreted as 4G. Facilities like IP (Internet Protocol) telephony, Interactive Gaming Services, HD (High Definition) TV, Live TV etc are the add-ons for the real 4th Generation (4G) networks that offer a theoretical data rate of up to 100 Mbps.
Maybe the 6G communication would altogether change the communication scenario, visualized with the application of recently developed technologies such as Li-Fi (Light Fidelity). The Li-Fi has about 10,000 times more frequency spectrum available to use than in contemporary mobile communication, and almost zero interference. This, in turn, would motivate the research to be carried out for a common unified standard under the 7G (7th Generation) of networks.
Concluding, as the trend of increasing cellular capacity, extreme advancements have been observed within last 2-3 decades. As a rule of thumb, the capacity has also been increasing to 10 times of the previous mobile network generation. The upcoming 5G aims a real wireless world with no limitations while 6G integrates 5G with satellite networks. The 6G roaming issue drives 7G wireless networks, which aim to acquire space roaming. The world is trying to become completely wireless, demanding uninterrupted access to information anytime and anywhere with better quality, high-speed, increased data rate and a reduction in cost.

In Response To: Re: Ethical practices (Bob Chabot)
Hi Dan,
Sorry you had such a bad experience. Typically an hourly rate is between 30-45 depending on who you contract however, it would probably be best in the future to get a few estimates. Also you didn't mention whether or not you asked for or checked references. My Company usually charges on a job by job basis, that way the customer knows the full cost upfront and when they accept our estimate make an initial deposit to seal the deal. If additional work is required it should be discussed upfront and agreed upon. Also the required length of time should be set out or at least the customer should be given an estimated start and completion date. Our Company uses these simple guidelines and we have been in business 3 years on 100% referral basis. Feel free to contact me if you have additional questions

Samsung Galaxy A6+ Receives Wi-fi Certification, To Come With Infinity Display.
Over the years, if there's any one company that showed consistency in the smartphone market, then it's Samsung. Despite competition from Apple, Samsung remains a highly influential player in the smartphone flagship segment. But the mid-range sector is a whole other story. They're neither the leaders nor the losers. Despite this, they continue rolling out mid-rangers from time to time. Today, their upcoming budget phone. the Samsung Galaxy A6+ received it's Wi-fi certification, take a look.
For those of you who remember, the Galaxy A6+ (2018) briefly appeared on Samsung's official website, and also was certified by FCC earlier. What's interesting is the model number of the smartphone matches the one that appeared on the website- SM-A605FN/DS. The DS in the model indicates that it is a dual sim smartphone. The A6+ will most likely be powered by a Snapdragon 625 chip coupled with 4GB of RAM.
A day ago, the phone was spotted in a HTML 5 test, which revealed that it will have a tall-aspect Infinity Display. An infinity display is Samsung's iteration of a bezel-less display. This synonym was introduced when Samsung came out with the Galaxy S8 and S8+ last year. They went on to use it for the Galaxy Note as well as their flagship Galaxy s9+.
The non plus model, i.e Galaxy A6 is will have a 5.6 inch 18:9 2220x1080px display, and an Exynos 7870 chipset with 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. Both the devices are expected to run on Android Oreo. For now, this is all we know regarding the specs. But let's hope that Samsung surprises with something special.
As usual, Samsung will definitely face stiff competition from Chinese OEM's in the market. Xiaomi is already dominating the market, Motorola isn't doing bad either. The A6 and A6+ are mid-range smartphones with everyday specs, nothing less, nothing more. They won't have much of an impact considering the fierce competition among various players, regardless let's wait and watch how things turn out.

Take a look at the post:
#Mi8Pro unboxing shots. This gorgeous phone comes with in-display fingerprint technology and is available in multiple colors, including an edition with a transparent back.
Launching soon in our global markets across the world! ❤#Xiaomi #unboxing pic.twitter.com/tWEefavSyQ
— Donovan Sung (@donovansung) September 21, 2018
The Mi 8 Pro have some major upgrades from its predecessor, the Mi 8, with the main feature upgrade being the on- screen fingerprint scanner. When Mi 8 was launched, the company decided to go with the popular rear mounted fingerprint scanner, while most other flagships had started using the on- screen fingerprint scanner technology which raised a few eye brows.
Apart from the on-screen finger print scanner, the Mi 8 Pro comes packed with a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC clocked at 2.8GHz. It will be available in 6GB and 8GB RAM variants along with 128 GB non- expandable storage. The Mi 8 Pro sports a 6.26-inch AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 18.7:9.
In the camera department the Mi 8 Pro sports an AI assisted 12MP+12MP dual rear cameras. The primary camera has an aperture of f/1.8 while second camera has an aperture of f/2.4. The front cam has a 20MP lens capable of applying 3D beauty effects and AI portrait mode.
As said at the beginning, the Mi 8 Pro comes with an on- screen fingerprint scanner and also support IR based face unlock that we have seen earlier in the Poco F1. It has a wider notch to accommodate the IR face unlock sensor. The phone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo with MIUI on top. The device is powered by a 3000mAh battery.
Apart from the Ochre Black and Twilight Gold variants, the Mi 8 Pro will be available in a translucent glass back similar to the Mi 8 Explorer edition. The global roll out of the Mi 8 Pro is expected to start in October, most likely to begin from Europe. As for now there is no information about the India launch or price of the Mi 8 Pro.

Now the Finnish company has scheduled an event on October 4 in London where the Nokia 7.1 Plus is expected to be unveiled though no official confirmation has been released.

Nokia 5.1 Plus to be Launched on September 24, To be Flipkart exclusive
HMD Global announced the Nokia 6.1 Plus and the Nokia 5.1 Plus last month in the Indian market. However the company didn't reveal the price of the Nokia 5.1 Plus.

The teaser also reveals that the device will be launch on September 24 at 2:00 PM IST, where it will be revealing the pricing information.
It is also to be noted that the teaser reveals the hashtag #GameOn, which was previously reported to be that Nokia is working on a gaming phone, so that actually was a teaser for this phone and not a gaming phone.

Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions, said my lovely friend Mark Twain.
I play a lot at work. My team (engineers) live the lego project plan and for judgment help we have Yoda, the wise man. As long as our acts are affected by fears, Yoda quotes helps us in every decision.
I have seen a lot examples of playing. A change country map, a speaking team crocodile, project mascots, eat-after-closure action lists (chocolate!), playmobil stakeholder land… Scrum cards are an example too :-)
Let's play!
