One ad stuck out during this year's Super Bowl broadcast, for its message of patriotism, shared sacrifice and faith in American exceptionalism—and it wasn't Clint Eastwood's Chrysler spot.
The spot began with a pregnant woman, framed by a playpen and on the phone, asking an unseen person to "Be safe." A man on what appears to be an aircraft carrier replied, "You know I will."
It was a military recruitment commercial.
The legend "On February 24th" appears onscreen, as Eminem's "Not Afraid" scores footage of enlisted men skydiving, deep-sea diving, and shooting in a desert. "We all have something worth fighting for," intones a narrator as a man kisses a woman while a towheaded child rests on his shoulder and the legend "FAMILY" appears onscreen. More footage—a fighter dropping through a glass ceiling, a military funeral, a bomb exploding, many a handshake—is intercut with legends reading "HONOR," "FREEDOM," and "A MOTION PICTURE EVENT."
Wait, it was a feature film trailer.
The final legend in the ad for the upcoming film Act of Valor reads "STARRING ACTIVE DUTY NAVY SEALS," the ultimate vérité touch in a trailer that blends the glossiness of movie production with the studious realness of war in exactly the fashion of the old "Army of One" ads.
"It was a really high-profile place to tell our story," said Terry Curtin, President of Theatrical Marketing at the film's distributor Relativity Media, of the Super Bowl ad buy. (Act of Valor was featured in four ads on Super Bowl Sunday, including one during the game.) "We have a film that we know—while it has no stars—the experience of seeing this film is a big, broad, satisfying experience. We wanted to link that up. It means something when you're at the Super Bowl."
Act of Valor, in all its particulars, is perfectly congruent with the Super Bowl—it is a film of Big Ideas about masculinity and brotherhood, in which the military seems as elite and as fun as the Giants offensive line. What it means to be a man is pondered at length. The SEALs, essentially playing themselves, refer to their sort as "damn few." One character says, in an irony-free voiceover, that his father read "Churchill, Faulkner, and books about Tecumseh"; another chews a toothpick while surfing. Men!
The film's four-year production process means that it was undertaken at a time when the military was still looking to recruit new soldiers—and the film was intended to be a part of that process. The San Francisco Chronicle, in 2011, described the process by which a Navy SEAL was tasked that project: Duncan Smith, who had been involved in television production in his extra-military life, "conceived of a feature film that would more deeply convey the reality of SEAL life." Military.com describes the film as "the end result of a recruiting initiative." Capt. Smith solicited proposals from various studios, and the Bandito Brothers—a collective that had previously produced commercials and sports documentaries—won out. (Relativity Media acquired the film once it had been completed.)
At the film's premiere on the U.S.S. Intrepid, Capt. Smith told The Observer, "Back when this project began, we had to grow by 500 SEALs. Well, no one gets talked into being a SEAL. You don't get recruited into it. You have to be aware of the opportunity. And certain young men will [see the film and] say, 'Hey, that's for me. I'm going to try that. I think I've got what it takes."
It turns out that Act of Valor, which opens tomorrow, is both a military recruitment tool and a feature film.
Casting active-duty SEALS bridged the gap between the two. Speaking of the eight in the film—who are not credited under their full names and whose participation has raised some hackles in the military community—Capt. Smith said: "All these men said no when first asked to do this. Everybody who's in this film is a combat operator. The guys who are in this movie said, 'I'm not part of being this movie. I'm part of being in a field platoon.' So we went to them a second and third time."
The Navy, per Capt. Smith, also exerted pressure on the men, whom Capt. Smith had selected on the basis of their combat records and unique skills. Not merely were the SEALs not paid for their filming time, but their work in Act of Valor was set up so as not to interfere with their training. What you see onscreen are what co-director Mike "Mouse" McCoy calls "augmented training evolutions."
The film comes out at an interesting time for the SEAL program: in the aftermath of Osama bin Laden's death, the profile of the Navy's special ops force has never been higher. Tina Brown's nose for buzz landed the SEALs on the most recent Newsweek cover; the accompanying story alleges that the SEALs serve as a sort of secret global enforcement squad for President Obama. No less a light than Tom Hanks is to star in a film depicting the SEAL rescue of the Maersk Alabama container ship. And after the Presidential election, Kathryn Bigelow is to release her Seal Team Six drama, Kill Bin Laden, a film that Rep. Peter King has already denounced on his suspicion of classified leaks from the Obama Administration to the director of The Hurt Locker.
While the coastal cultural elites have been tuning into Showtime's Homeland—a film that equates the war on terror with its warrior protagonist's quite literal madness—and the heartland has been saluting the sacrifice of Lifetime's Army Wives, no films have depicted the military and managed to make money. Even a film as critically beloved as The Hurt Locker made only $17 million in America, and similarly dour films (Jarhead, Lions for Lambs, In the Valley of Elah) bombed hard.
It is either ironic or completely expected that a film intended to make Americans rally round the flag—and possibly carry that flag down to their local recruiting office—will likely be the one that draws audiences in droves, making the SEALs the cinematic equivalent of John Wayne's Green Berets or Kiefer Sutherland's 24 superspy.
The film's two directors seemed keen on pointing out that the film would have nothing in it to trouble Rep. King. "The film has no politics in it and it's not a war movie," said Mr. McCoy at a recent interview. "It does not [depict] a conflict on foreign soil—or anything around a conflict on foreign soil. It's just about protecting the homeland. Men risking their lives to protect the homeland.
Mr. McCoy and his co-director and partner in Bandito Brothers, Scott Waugh, both began their on-set careers as stuntmen—and neither have any connection to the military. "Both of us did not serve, and I myself feel that's unfortunate. I wish I did," said Mr. Waugh, who was a film major at U.C. Santa Barbara until he overheard professors discussing his student films. In response to their readings of the themes he'd intended: "I was like, 'No, I didn't! I was there, idiot!"
Those professors would find little ambiguity in Act of Valor—a film whose broad themes of American patriotism and the bravery of the U.S. military are cut with propulsive action and violence (including a staggering number of kill-shots). Said Mr. Waugh, who wore a black motorcycle jacket to our meeting: "We have a mantra: 'Heartfelt, human stories with immersive action.' That's our mantra."
The pair share a make-it-work philosophy reminiscent of the U.S. military, or of the Spartan one: amidst filming real training sequences, the directors were put on protracted hold by the SEALs' real-life missions. Professional actor Jason Cottle, who plays a villain in the film, told The Observer: "I would just get a call, and [the directors would] say, 'You're going on a plane in a week—you're going to the Ukraine!' They'd fly me in and drop me, and then I'd get a call—'we're going to pick you up!'"
They also adopted the pretensions of the military: "Our craft-services table is completely contradictory to any studio film," said Mr. Waugh. "You get water, bananas and nuts—it fuels your body." Upon seeing Coca-Colas in the hospitality suite in which we were speaking, Mr. Waugh shouted, half-jokingly, "Who brought these here?!"
Despite their apparent adoption of a military diet, the directors were not granted full creative control: the U.S. military was allowed a scrub to remove information on specific tactics, and filming was contingent on the availability of SEALs and of assets like nuclear subs and aircraft.
We asked the Bandito Brothers directly, though we felt confident of the answer: Is this a propaganda film?
"The film was financed privately," said Mr. McCoy. Referring to the specific SEALs, he noted: "There's no agenda here for them overall. They want to show the hazards and the risks of this job. It's really important to us as filmmakers, and for the SEALs as well, to show the kids, 'Hey—this is not a video game.' In a way, it's responsible messaging." (The film's marketing, it's worth pointing out, has included an extensive partnership with EA Games, the makers of the video game Battlefield 3, whereby fake "dog tags" can be earned by watching the Act of Valor trailer.)
Mr. Waugh noted that, from his perspective, the film could not possibly be a recruitment film. "They're downsizing the military now. They're not looking for recruitment." And he resisted the notion that positive coverage of the SEALs is inherently pro-government: "If you show them in a positive light, it's propaganda. If you show them in a negative light, it's acting. That's so contradictory."
At the film's premiere, the SEAL named "Sonny" told The Observer that he wanted Americans to learn from the film that "we're not just machines. We are human. We have families. There is that brotherhood bond."
The Bandito Brothers' bond shall continue, too, their service having been completed. They are involved in Arnold Schwarzenegger's comeback film, Black Sands. "We're personally excited to be working with Arnold," said Mr. Waugh. "He created the genre of action hero, and we would love to be the ones to bring him back." Quite a next mission.
"The film has no politics in it and it's not a war movie." With a statement like that, are we to assume it is some sort of surrealist postmodern art film?

Avril Lavigne has filed for divorce from Deryck Whibley.
She cites "irreconcilable differences."
According to the docs, Avril says they separated on Sept. 4th and were married 3 years and 1 month.
Avril is not asking for spousal support -- probably because she's the breadwinner -- and she also checked the box in the docs saying she doesn't want to have to pay Deryck any money.
Posted at 7:16PM on Oct 14th 2009 by whatswrongwtheworld
Is there anybody in the entertainment/music world that has been married for over 10 yrs.?? over 20 yrs.??
Bruce Willis was married for more than 10 years.
But that ended in divorce. I'm sure there are others.
As an entertainer, the amount of encounters you can get would make things a lot more difficult to 'keep together' than the Average Joe, in my opinion.
He should get half of whatever she made from the day they got married. That is the way it works in Cali anyway. I know for damn sure I would if i were him. That is why I wont marry a poor woman, I aint losing my half of nothing. haha!
Right after they got married she said something like "I'm the best thing that ever happened to him." Ugh! He's better off wo/ her.
Keep on laughing Avril,it's a brand new day.And please release your
4th album ASAP so we can send you to #1 again and send the current
crop of pretenders back to school.
She's the bread winner? Does she really make money doing what she does? I really can't imagine anyone paying her money for what she does. What exactly is it does she do? I mean...I've seen her spit out of a car window...I guess one can make money doing that if there is one to recieve such a fetish. I have also seen her middle finger displayed for all to see...perhaps she cold be a hand model or a motivational coach "you are #1, you are #1". Well anyway...So...so what is she known for? Life's very complicated questions.

First George Steinbrenner takes $95 million from Adidas for the right to slap their three-stripe logo on the Yankee Stadium bullpen awnings, pedestrian ramps, and Don Zimmer's bald pate. Now, according to team überflack Howard Rubinstein, the Boss is negotiating to sell the naming rights to the stadium itself a move that could yield a few hundred million bucks. Rubinstein promises that "Yankee" will remain part of the name, and as long as we don't have to call it Citibankee Stadium, that's a good thing. But we do have one question: since Steinbrenner in fact only rents the Big Billboard in the Bronx from the city, when are we, the landlords, going to see a cut of the swag?
Storm Watch
All those college basketball analysts are shouting their heads off, so it must be March. And with the same shrill certainty they use year after year, the commentators are insisting that good guard play can carry a team to the Final Four. If that cliché holds true, then St. John's is particularly well positioned to make it to the promised land.
As Big East opponents know well by now, freshman point guard Eric Barkley possesses a variety of offensive weapons. The Brooklyn native, who's the latest in a long lineage (Stephon Marbury, Kenny Anderson, Pearl Washington, Tiny Archibald, etc.) of New York floor leaders, has refined his raw street game this year for the college hardwood. "He has every gear as a point guard," says CBS b-ball analyst Clark Kellogg. "He has the slow-down gear. He has the speed-it-up gear. He can score when he wants to and he can also serve the table for other guys."
One of those other guys is backcourt mate Bootsy Thornton, who's often the beneficiary of a crisp Barkley pass on his way to the hole. Thornton is a deadly outside shooter, converting on 40 percent of his shots from behind the arc. But his slashing ability is what makes him so lethal enough so to almost single-handedly slay the Duke Blue Devils with a 40-point effort in a narrow overtime loss to the nation's number-one team.
Thornton is even deadlier if Barkley can create some interior space by stroking it from the outside. "The thing with Eric, which will take him to another level," says ESPN loudmouth Dick Vitale, "is making shots from the perimeter. If he does that, then St. John's becomes almost unbeatable."
And that may be what the Red Storm's hopes rest on. Barkley didn't deliver from long range in the Big East finals (going 0 for 5 from 3-point range), but that won't deter the ever confident little man. "I never hesitate to shoot," says Barkley. "The more I take my shot, the better chance for our big fellas to get the offensive rebound and the put-back."
Rickey Don't Use That Number
Should Rickey Henderson get to strut around in Willie Mays's number 24 or should the Mets retire it? That question goes straight to the heart of the Mets' place in the continuum of New York baseball.
If you're confining the conversation to just the Metropolitans, a 37-year-old franchise, then the digits should stay on Rickey's back. After all, did the Braves retire Babe Ruth's number just because he hit his last homer for Boston? Mays, you will recall, only played one undistinguished, albeit memorable, season in a Mets uniform. So, if the Amazins retire Willie's number, then by all logic they'd have to do the same for Richie Ashburn, Yogi Berra, Duke Snider, and Warren Spahn, who all played out the string in blue and orange.
Another case for retiring Mays's number lies in the argument that the Mets are the repository of New York's National League heritage similar to the reason why the Milwaukee Brewers retired Hank Aaron's number 44. If that's the case, the Mets have some serious retiring to do. Joining Mays among the New Yorkers on the Giants' never-to-be-worn- again list would be Bill Terry (3), Mel Ott (4), and Carl Hubbell (11), not to mention asterisks for John McGraw and Christy Mathewson, who played in the days before uniform numbers. On the Brooklyn Dodger side of the family, the Mets would have to mothball Snider's 4, Jim Gilliam's 19, Walter Alston's 24, and Roy Campanella's 39, in addition to Jackie Robinson's universally retired 42.
The solution? It seems only fitting that Henderson should be wearing 24 when he passes Mays for fifth place on the all-time runs-scored list later this year. Then hang up the number for good after Rickey retires. Unless, of course, Barry Bonds decides that he wants to spend a year at Shea when he's pushing 40.
Pity the Post-perusing women's hoops fan. Sportsniks who eagerly bought the tab Monday, the day after NCAA tournament brackets were announced, found a full five pages of men's March Madness coverage and not one word about the women's tourney. Also missing from the Post's sports pages were any female bylines not that there's any connection or anything like that. . . . In the wake of Joe DiMaggio's death, Jockbeat has learned that Reggie Jackson is now touting himself as "the greatest living ballplayer."contributors: Paul Forrester, Neil Demause, Allen St. John, Andrew Hsiao, Joseph Jesselli Sports Editor: Miles D.

AVON — It was a simple gesture, really, one that could have easily gone unnoticed by anyone in attendance. But for the members of the Avon High baseball team, it held immeasurable meaning.
The Panthers huddled at the end of their dugout, just a few feet away from No. 7 black-and-orange hanging on the fence, minutes before their Division 4 South quarterfinal against Monomoy.
"One, two, three," they counted in unison. "Watson!"
It has not quite been two years since Nick Watson, their teammate and friend, received a clean bill of health after beating Hodgkin's lymphoma — twice — and even less since he was killed in a car accident.
But in all 44 games since, the Panthers have done what they can to keep Watson's memory, and his family, a part of the team. Full story for BostonGlobe.com subscribers.

Well I think it looks pretty awesome. To me the protein to carb ratio looks crazy but if that's what works for you then cool. You could run Mdrol again at the tail of the cycle... i figure that'd be boring though and it'll be hard to keep the gains, maybe something else, a more classic "finisher"? Mdrol is best suited for the start, a rapid increase in strength and mass... You are using combinations i like, 20mg of SD and then high doses of test, good stuff.
also 14-20 pct looks kinda crazy. I like your overkill PCT though, love high doses of clomid. Nolva might be excessive but i'm guessing you have the experience to have put it at 40 for a reason.
So what are your stats, what are you going for with this cycle?

Shooting wildlife doesn't have to be close-ups, sometimes your subject is all about its landscape.
Exploit the Light
Approach this kind of wildlife scene much the same way you would regular landscapes. The so-called magic hours near sunrise and sunset often create ideal light for animal scenics. Although many wildlife shooters avoid directional light—sidelight and backlight— it's preferable for animal landscapes. Directional light adds shadows to images, revealing the texture of the landscape and the animal, and providing separation between elements in the scene. See how this works with the both the elk and Snow Geese images in the gallery.
Wildlife landscape photos often work best if the creature's face is in the light, with at least one eye showing a catchlight from the sun. Flash at low power can be used to fill in shadows and provide a catchlight in the eyes if your subject is in the shade. Avoid full-power flash, unless you're far away, as it can look artificial—typically, all you need is a hint of fill to help the animal subtly stand out from its surroundings.
With a wide angle of view, you also have to pay attention to what's happening in the sky. Clouds that have distinct and interesting shapes can add excitement to animal landscapes, especially those taken at sunrise or sunset. As with traditional landscapes, you might need to use a split neutral- density filter to balance the light in the sky with the light in the foreground, especially if the clouds are sunlit and the landscape is in shadow.
The Question of Lenses
Just about any lens can be used to create an animal landscape. For animals at middle distance, telezoom lenses, such as a 70–200mm, 75–300mm, or 100–400mm will work well for full-frame DSLRs; equivalents for APS-C-sensor cameras would be 55–200mm or 55–250mm. These allow you to quickly zoom out to a focal length that includes some of the surrounding landscape.
Wide-to-normal zoom lenses work best if you want to include plenty of the surrounding landscape, but don't expect the animal to be prominent in the scene unless it is very large or very close
Most often you should avoid getting near to wildlife. Some animals are dangerous, and most don't like it when people get really close and stick a lens in their faces.
Nonetheless, sometimes close encounters do happen, creating opportunities for interesting per- spectives. Once, while exploring the Utah desert, I stopped for a moment, only to find a jackrabbit sitting still right next to me, less than a foot away. I couldn't resist the temptation of taking a few quick wide-angle shots before slowly backing away to give the rabbit some space. It eventually hopped away, leaving me with the unique image of a typically shy desert animal.

Jedediah Caesar EXHIBITED AT THE SAATCHI GALLERY
Jedediah Caesar
Dry Stock
Urethane resin, polyester resin, pigment, aluminium, titanium, wood, and mixed media. 29 panels (28 installed, 1 leaning)
Approximately 7 1/2 x 17 1/2 feet x 3/4 inches
Comprised of 29 individual panels assembled as one large piece, Jedediah Caesar's
Dry Stock
is a 'painting' that might best be described as a sculpture. To make this work Caesar collected the dirt and other items meant for the trash from carpentry and metal cutting factories and used them as 'pigments' and readymade shapes of colour and texture for his abstraction. Sealing these within a large solid block of resin which was then sliced into thin segments, the tiny objects suspended in the work's surface give the effect of giant microscopic slides. Presented in chronological order, the tableau reads from top to bottom like a film strip, scrutinizing the dissected progression of objects in space. Through recycling the inevitable waste of production, Caesar approaches making as a form of hyper-efficiency, transforming excess and offscourings into an infinitely detailed and beautiful abstraction.
Jedediah Caesar
Untitled (Glyph Cube)
Wood, polystyrene, resin
40.6 x 40.6 x 27.9 cm
Using the archetypical minimalist cube as a departure point for embellishment, Caesar's
Untitled (Glyph Cube)
is made from discarded objects cast in a block of resin; the rectangular shape is cut from a larger mass to reveal the textures and colours of the embedded materials.
With the varied patterns replicating drawing, carving, or fossil formations, Caesar transforms a cube's expected visual purity into a platform for information overload. The sculpture's battered looking facades are reminiscent of both ancient hieroglyphs and street graffiti, posing suggestive coded meanings and narratives.
Jedediah Caesar
Untitled (White Domino)
Resin, pigment, studio detritus
5 parts, dimensions variable, each piece approx 38.1 x 38.1 cm
Untitled (White Domino)
progresses the strategies of process art, creating finished pieces which are conceptually streamlined and aesthetically savvy. Cut from the same block,
each of the components is a cross section exposing the various materials suspended in the tinted resin, giving the impression of prehistoric drawings or excavated treasures found in slabs of exotic minerals. Presented in a henge-like arrangement, Caesar's sculptures pose as luxuriant ruins, eliciting mysticism and wonder from a contemporary 'archaeology'.
Jedediah Caesar
Helium Brick (detail)
Polyester resin, polystyrene, pigment, wood
132.1 x 132.1 x 254 cm
Helium Brick
cleverly conceives the act of making as a process of decay. The large block structure is made from Styrofoam which was then coated with Caesar's trademark
coloured resin. Reminiscent of Gustav Metzger's Auto-Destructive art, the two chemically incongruous materials reacted, and the Styrofoam was eaten away, creating an strange stucco-like surface. Mounted on shipping crates
Helium Brick
looms with alien presence, its texture suggesting something biological and unnatural, framing his sculpture as a specimen of dubious origin.

From Manga Fox:
Jeff has been called the 'future star of tennis' from when he was young. However, after a traumatic loss in his childhood, it seems impossible for him to win ever since.
Even though he has mastered all of the techniques- serve, smash, volley, footwork- the goal of victory always seems distant.
Tennis is supposed to be about the enjoying the game, not the result. But will Jeff ever overcome his habit of losing at the crucial moment, and achieve victory?

Jeremy Spencer
Jeremy Spencer
An early member of Fleetwood Mac, slide guitarist Jeremy Spencer left behind a fine (if limited) musical legacy, but is perhaps better remembered for his sudden defection from the group to join a religious cult. Spencer was born in West Hartlepool, England on July 4, 1948; he started taking piano lessons at age nine, switched to guitar at 15 to emulate his rock & roll idols, and the following year discovered Elmore James, who became his chief influence. In 1967, Spencer became the fourth member of the fledgling Fleetwood Mac, concentrating primarily on slide guitar but also doubling up on piano. He was a major component of the group's early blues-rock sound on albums like 1968's Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and 1969's English Rose. A gifted musical impressionist, Spencer's affectionate send-ups of early rock & roll styles and artists were sometimes incorporated into the group's live shows; in 1970, Spencer released a self-titled solo LP in that vein on Reprise, featuring parodies of rockabilly, teen idol ballads, surf, Elvis, psychedelia, and even Mac itself. That same year's Kiln House would prove to be the last Mac album Spencer played on, however.

Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development |
[Constituent of Symbiosis International University] |

Specializations Offered under MBA Programme: MARKETING Marketing bridges the gap between a society's material requirements and its economic patterns of response. SCMHRD's approach is parallel to the recent shift from product focus to customer focus in marketing arena simply because our students are familiarized with the latest market trends and real business models through workshops, corporate case studies and guest lectures by industry experts, enabling them to provide solutions at par with organizations' needs FINANCE From accounting based to economy-based finance, this course is designed to provide a strong foundation in applied finance required in today's competitive financial world. It focuses on the development of quantitative and analytical skills and provides in-depth learning in the areas of financial decision-making, investment structuring, pricing and risk management of financial instruments. HUMAN RESOURCE With the focus of Human Resource Management shifting to a strategic orientation with an emphasis on the survival and growth of the business, the new Human Resource Professional is a consultant for the utilization, engagement and strategic positioning of human talent, to meet the business needs of the present as well as the future. The programme enables students to integrate core business competencies with interpersonal skills crucial to managing people. OPERATIONS Indian Economy is now poised for another dose of liberalization. After insurance, the retail business will also be thrown open to overseas companies. Thus supply chain optimization can make a difference. With hardly any scope of product differentiation, organization will compete on the basis of their supply chain management and optimization competency. To meet this growing need, this course explores new research potentials and provides the students with a technology based learning approach to efficiently manage the important verticals of industries - manufacturing, supply chain & logistics. |

Missouri House GOP rejects another attempt to expand Medicaid
The House opened debate Tuesday on the state's 2014 budget by defeating an effort to send the budget back to a committee in hopes of adding more than $900 million of federal funds to expand Medicaid for low-income adults.
The defeat of Tuesday's motion was almost a foregone conclusion in the Republican-led House, because the House Budget Committee had previously rejected the Medicaid expansion.
Democratic Gov. Jay was traveling Tuesday to suburbs of Kansas City and St. Louis to build public support for the Medicaid expansion.
The 2010 health care law signed by President Barack Obama calls for a Medicaid expansion, but a Supreme Court ruling last year made it optional for states.
MO lawmakers consider amendment to ease prosecution of child sex offenders
A 2007 Missouri Supreme Court ruling had banned prosecutors in child sex abuse cases from using "propensity evidence," which is often used to show a suspect has a proclivity to do the alleged crime. The ruling made Missouri the most restrictive state in the nation by banning such evidence as prior convictions.
Representative John McCaherty, a High Ridge Republican, filed a bill that would allow prosecutors to use prior convictions, along with findings by the state Children's Services Division indicating that sexual abuse of a child did occur, even if there were no charges filed.
The measure has already cleared the House and is now in the hands of the Senate.
MO House approves renewable energy measure
A 2008 law approved by voters requires investor-owned utilities to use renewable energy sources for gradually increasing amounts of their electricity generation. That law restricted how hydroelectric power could count toward the requirement.
The House bill (HB44) would allow all hydroelectric power produced in Missouri or owned by a Missouri power company to count starting in 2018. Beginning in 2021, hydroelectric power generated elsewhere could count.
The bill cleared the House Thursday on a vote of 95-46 and now goes to the Senate.
Sponsors of the 2008 ballot measure criticized the bill, saying it would reverse possible economic development benefits from the law.
Missouri House Committee wants to change time limits to prosecute sex offenses
Right now, prosecutions must start within 30 years after the victim's 18th birthday. The statute of limitations already does not apply to instances of forcible rape or forcible sodomy, attempted forcible rape or attempted forcible sodomy and kidnapping. The measure would allow prosecutions for child abuse at any time.
The House Crime Prevention and Public Safety Committee approved the legislation Monday.
Earlier this year, a state child sex abuse task force released a report urging lawmakers to eliminate the statute of limitations for first-degree statutory rape and first-degree statutory sodomy.
Winter storm forecast shortens work week for MO lawmakers
The House and Senate usually meet from Monday until mid-day Thursday each week. But with a mixture of ice and snow expected on Thursday, the Senate has decided to quit for the week around noon Wednesday -- early enough to give lawmakers time to get home before the weather hits.
The State House will also give members a chance to leave early, planning only a technical session on Thursday, in which no bills will be debated.
Mo. House panel mulls child sex abuse measure
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - A Missouri House committee is considering legislation that would eliminate a time limit for prosecuting cases that involve sexual offenses against children or teenagers.
Currently, prosecutions must start within 30 years after the victim turns 18. It does not apply to cases of forcible rape or forcible sodomy, attempted forcible rape or attempted forcible sodomy and kidnapping.
A House public safety committee considered a proposal Monday that would repeal the time requirement for sexual offenses that involve someone age 18 or younger. The legislation also would allow child abuse cases to be prosecuted at any time.
In January, a state task force focused on preventing child sex abuse recommended eliminating the statute of limitations for first-degree statutory rape and first-degree statutory sodomy.
MO House budget plan skips Medicaid expansion
The plan presented Thursday by Budget Committee Chairman Rick Stream would also provide a smaller increase for public colleges and universities than Nixon had proposed for the 2014 fiscal year.
The Democratic governor wants to accept about $900 million from the federal government to expand Medicaid health care eligibility to nearly 260,000 lower-income adults. But Stream said he left that out of the budget because it runs contrary to Republican philosophy against bigger government.
Nixon had proposed a $34 million funding increase for colleges and universities. Stream's proposed budget pares that back to $20 million. It also provides less money for early childhood programs than Nixon had sought.
MO House debates photo ID requirement for voting
Proponents say requiring voters to show a government-issued photo ID before casting ballots would help prevent election fraud. Critics argue Missouri has had no known recent instances of voter impersonation. They also say the rule could make it harder for some people to vote.
Lawmakers have discussed the proposal several times in recent years, with the debate generally falling along party lines.
On Wednesday, House members approved a constitutional amendment allowing for a photo ID requirement. Lawmakers then endorsed separate legislation that would implement it. Both measures require another vote before they move to the state Senate.
Proposed bill would make it harder to ban smoking in MO casinos
That's what State Rep. Bill Otto is proposing. The St. Charles Democrat is sponsoring a bill that would prohibit local smoking bans if smoking is still allowed at a competing casino within 75 miles.
If passed, the measure would prevent the St. Louis County Council from ending the casino exemption in the county's smoking ban -- a move that has been debated in the county council in recent weeks.
Paul McKee to appeal for tax credit extension
The $95 million Distressed Areas Land Assemblage credit was passed in 2007 and will expire this August.
McKee's company has received more than $40 million so far and amassed 2,200 parcels of land in north St. Louis for the project. But McKee told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he's needs to buy another 500 parcels for contiguous sites.
The NorthSide project calls for new and refurbished homes, retail and manufacturing space, along with schools and medical facilities on a two square mile area just north of downtown.

To start a blog online is one of the best ways to either make money, or have a hobby for yourself. I'm in to making money, so we can stick with that topic. If you want to start a blog for a hobby, these simple steps will also work.
Blogging is something that is not new, but many still are sitting on the sidelines waiting. I say, "get in there, go for it, start a blog today"! You will get a huge reward from blogging, that you may not have known existed. When you start a blog, your going to create value for others and intern will make you a good living. But only if you put in the time.
Yes blogging does require time and effort. Daily activity is required.
Here are 10 simple steps to setting up your first blog.
1. Find Your Passion
Find what you have a passion for. This could be anything. If you like to build model airplanes. Then blog about it. I love the network marketing industry and that is my passion. Without finding your passion, you will have a hard time coming up with quality content. So find what you like the most, and go for it.
2. What are your Goals?
Set up some goals for yourself. What do you want to accomplish in the next 6 -12 months with your blog. Put down on paper what you want to accomplish. Have a clear vision in mind of how you will see your blog in the future.
3. Look at Other Blogs
Go out and search around the Internet to see what others are doing. Try to find other similar blogs with the same passion you have. Get an idea of what others are writing about. See how they are interacting with their readers. Look at the way the blog is setup. Getting a feel for what others are doing, will help with your blog setup.
4. Blogging Software
There really is only one software that you should even look at. WordPress is a free software platform that will build and organize your blog for huge success. And not to worry, push a few buttons, and the software is installed. When you get a new hosting account, there will be a backoffice platform for setting up this software. Ask your host to give you a hand with this setup. It's so simple a caveman can do it.
5. Get a Domain
Domain is not as important as many people would have you believe. Try and find a domain with the keyword that best matches your passion. If you are into network marketing, try and find a domain with your name in it. Getting a domain is also very easy, and I recommend namecheap for your domain register. Do a search for this service in google.
6. Customize Your Blog
Once you have the domain and blog setup, it's time to make it look good. If you do a search for free wordpress templates, about 10 or so good websites will come up. Find a good theme for your blog and upload it to your wordpress backoffice. This is also something you don't have to spend a whole lot of time on. Just get something that you feel will look decent.
7. Install Plugins
Plugins are what make the whole wordpress blogging experience worth it. You can find just about any plugin, to do just about anything you want. Here are a few plugins that should be a must for your webiste. Google sitemap, SEO platinum, social media plugin, facebook plugin, wp to twitter.
8. About Page
Spend a few minutes putting together information about yourself. This doesn't have to be in depth. Just some key stats about your life. People want to know who is the person behind the blog they are reading each day. The about page will give your readers the information they want.
9. Start Posting
Its all put together and now it's time to post. Each day you should get something up on your blog. Write 400-800 word blog post about new topics you feel will help others. You want your readers to come back for more each day. So make sure your content is of high value to them.
10. Marketing
The last part of your blogging steps is to market it. Get the word out about your new blog. Google is going to visit your blog each day and index all your new content. But its still important you let others know about your content. The best ways to market your new blog is to head over to your social media websites. Facebook and twitter are going to be the 2 best places to market your new blog. As your traffic from these sites increases, the more money you can start to make with your blog.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have avoided arbitration with catcher A.J. Ellis and right-handed reliever Ronald Belisario, agreeing to one-year deals with both players.
Ellis will make $2 million and Belisario will get $1,450,000 in the deals reached Friday.
Ellis batted .270 with 13 homers and 52 RBIs in his first season as a regular with the Dodgers, playing in 133 games. He made $490,000 last season.
Belisario went 8-1 with a 2.54 ERA while pitching 71 innings last season in an impressive comeback after serving a 25-game suspension for testing positive for cocaine. He also missed the entire 2011 season with visa problems, but made $480,000 last season.
The Dodgers have no more potential arbitration cases.

THE GOVERNOR of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, reversing an earlier decision, has agreed to release from prison a man who was convicted in 1986 for his part in a murder, but who was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church in the United States last summer.
James Tramel was 17 when his school room-mate, David Kurzman, killed Michael Stephenson, a homeless man whom he mistook for a member of a gang. Mr Tramel took no part in the murder, but fully accepted his legal guilt and moral culpability. In prison, he took a Master's degree in theology, ministered to sick and dying prisoners in the hospice, led worship, and taught and counselled prisoners preparing for release.
Mr Schwarzenegger's decision a year ago to reverse the unanimous decision of a parole board that Mr Tramel should be released outraged church opinion (News, 15 April 2005). The Bishop of California, the Rt Revd William Swing, personally supported Mr Tramel's calling to the priesthood, and challenged the Governor to substantiate his claim that Mr Tramel was a danger to society.
The Bishop said, after a sermon delivered on Easter Sunday last year: "I have no quarrel with the Governor personally. . . I am only moved to cry out against a system that takes a resurrected life, throws it back into prison for a subjective rationale, and buries that life indefinitely."
Mr Schwarzenegger has not announced why he changed his mind. Bishop Swing, who ordained Mr Tramel, will introduce him to the congregation at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco on Easter Sunday morning. He is to be an assisting priest at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd in Berkeley, and is engaged to be married to another priest, the Revd Stephanie Green, who visited the prison to help him with his theology degree.
The Bishop told the Los Angeles Times on Monday: "You don't have to believe in resurrection. You can just look up and see it."
Mr Tramel told the paper: "I feel humbled. I feel the weight of my responsibility to justify the faith people have put in me."

An example of where printed T's can work? I think this looks great!
Warning: Spoiler! - Thoughts.. (Click to show)
I bought this shirt months ago but have not yet worn it. Would/should have rolled up my sleeves however it is freezing today.
Sleeves definitely need shortening (along with the shirt length).
Also I think the shirt looks awesome un-tucked but it is just too long at the moment.
The shape of Gitman shirts as a casual untucked shirt is really nice. I guess that is not news to you guys though.
