Coach Popovich Speaks On Season, Building Blocks and More
After his team was eliminated last night, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich spoke one last time to the media about the 2011 season.
"It was a disappointing end to a wonderful season." Popovich said of the 2011 season, "I think we did a wonderful job this season, something that nobody expected us to do."
"Memphis deserves a lot of credit, they played better than we did. Like I told the players, I can't think of somebody on Memphis who didn't play well."
When asked what changes will be made, Pop said they'll go through the same off-season routine.
"You move on, we'll have our meetings like we do every year whether we win it all or don't. And (we'll) get ready for next season."
"As I told the team, the only real change I wish we could have changed was when we lost our rhythm at the end of the season." Continued Pop, "Timmy going down for all those games followed by Manu going down, I think it really did hurt our rhythm. It's not an excuse, it's a fact that we didn't really go into the playoffs with that rhythm and that "mojo" that you like to have going in. And to some degree that hurt us. And after that Memphis' good play hurt us."
When asked how his young players played, Popovich felt they played well. "Gary Neal was pretty consistent the whole way. Tiago and DeJuan did a good job during the season; Tiago didn't get much of an opportunity with the injuries and that kind of thing." Pop looks toward next season, "We look forward to having all those guys back and putting it together again."
Most Spurs writers have been questioning the issue of size in the frontline, Pop knew this was an issue.
"Their defense was excellent. To some extent that was size and strength, they really manhandled us in situations where we couldn't get anything done scoring wise." Pop simply put it, "Size was definitely a factor."

thanks a lot for the comments guys, but it always seems like its never good enough this is my first time posing, too, so im tryin to get up to 230 for next year around this time. and im still pretty young im 21 so i got that on my side so ne tips on nutrition or cycles for bulking would be great. ihear everyones taking dextrose does that really help that much?
Damn dude, I love your modesty on the b4 pics. Looking good. I dont use dextrose but I imagine if I did it would be post WO only to spike insulin and shuttle nutrients. Everything else would be more towards the lower side of the glycemic index. But you look like you have a pretty good grip on nutrition... or freakin' awesome genetics!!!:bb3:
look great man, but 3% bf? I find that hard to believe, if you got to that I doubt you could stay at it for more than a day or too, either way you are pretty shredded in those pictures, so im not trying to take away from you. I'd say maybe the traps could come up a bit, you are pretty much in good size in all areas. The legs are big, i find it odd you dont see more definition for how shredded you are. Either way keep of the good work!

Developing a truck accident lawsuit may seem to be a drastic measure by some, but when considering the costs associated with a truck accident, whether fatal or non-fatal, it can be deemed a necessary step, one that may provide monetary compensation in return for damages following a truck collision.

While you were out the WaPo called and left this message (translated by the WaPo from the original Spanish):
The Egyptians are talking to Saddam Hussein," Bush said. "He seems to have indicated he would be open to exile if they would let him take one billion dollars and all the information he wants on weapons of mass destruction."
Later in the conversation, Aznar returned to the subject. "Is it true there's a possibility Saddam Hussein might go into exile?"
"Yes, it's possible," Bush responded. "It's also possible he could be assassinated." In any case, Bush said, there would be "no guarantee" for Hussein. "He's a thief, a terrorist and a war criminal. Compared to Saddam, [former Yugoslav president Slobodan] Milosevic would be a Mother Teresa."

The Winter Garden Reborn
Standing in the shadows of the World Trade Center, the Winter Garden, a beautiful and very popular event space, was severely damaged in the attacks of September 11.

Spearheading that massive undertaking is legendary production manager Jake Berry; the design team includes Patrick Woodroffe (lights), Willie Williams (video), and Mark Fisher (sets). Participating vendors include Vari*Lite,Syncrolite, ACL, Diversitronics, Mole-Richardson, Lycian, Strong, Flying Pig Systems, Avolites, Reel EFX, Tomcat, Columbus McKinnon, Tait Towers, VLPS, and LSD/Fourth Phase. Michael Eddy and Ellen Lampert-Gréaux report.

Director Baz Luhrmann and his wife, designer Catherine Martin (Moulin Rouge), are hitting the Great White Way with, of all things, an opera: La Bohème. Why opera, and why now? John Calhoun talks to them about this project and about their design collaboration in general.

Top 10: Instant Turn-Ons
We are normally strong-headed, straightforward creatures. But when it comes to women, we can become confused and easily disoriented. Think of all those male cartoon characters you've seen whose eyes bug out of their heads and tongues loll out to the ground when a sexy girl walks by. That's not all that far from the reality.
There are certain things about certain women that will prove to be such a turn-on that they instantly throw any guy off. As much as we do appreciate these moments, it's a good thing to be aware of such weapons, so you can have a shot at mustering some degree of coherence when you encounter them.
Here are 10 things about women that will instantly turn on just about any man.
Number 10
She has an accentThere's nothing like the sound of an exotic accent to get a guy's engines revving. Whether she's British, French, Irish, Italian, or from anywhere else, it's a sure bet that a man will be taken in by that foreign lilt or intonation. Accents are especially exciting when the woman throws in some words from her native language. What could be sexier than trying to guess what exactly she said she wanted you to do to her?
Number 9
She admits to loving sexMany men lament the fact that their lady doesn't want or get off on sex as much as he does. So when a woman tells a dude that she loves sex, it's a huge turn-on. When a man knows that any time he feels like gettin' it on, his woman will be more than willing and able, well, it may be time to refurnish the bedroom, because you're going to be spending a whole bunch of time in there.
Number 8
She drives a motorcycleThink about how cool and confident you feel when you hit the road on your chopper. Now, imagine how a woman feels riding one of those bad boys. Next, think about how she looks when she feels that way. Getting the picture? It's just sexy to see a chick on a bike — particularly when she's clad in form-fitting leather chaps. Female bikers give off a carefree vibe, as well as the sense of mystery that comes with face-masking helmets. There's a reason why all bike manufacturers like to market their merchandise alongside scantily-clad models — because it never fails to make men look.
Number 7
She has a sexy voiceMen love to hear the tones of a woman's sexy voice. Whether it's husky or has that soft, caressing touch, a woman's voice can send shivers down a man's spine via his auditory system. Think of the Marilyn Monroe's famous "Happy Birthday" song or Liv Tyler's otherworldly tone in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. If a woman's inflections sound like that, a man will fall for her from the ears on down.
Number 6
She has nice breastsMen love breasts. This is a cold, hard fact. Just look at the astounding number of similes we've invented to describe them: knockers, rack, melons, headlights, and assets, to name but a few. Without getting into the psychology underlying this common obsession, it's sufficient to say that a woman with a great bust line is always attractive to a man. It's probably a good thing the female gender was the one to get the breasts. Had it turned out otherwise, we'd get nothing done — we'd be home all day fondling them.
The view from behind isn't that bad, either...

Coffee: Filtering the FactsBy Nancy Clark, MS, RD"I have 2 cups of coffee in the morning. How bad is that...??? "Should I drink coffee before I exercise?" "Does coffee count towards my daily water requirement?" Coffee is a universally loved beverage. Every culture the world around enjoys some type of caffeinated beverage, be it tea in England and Japan, espresso in Italy, or a "coffee regular" in America. Questions abound about the role of coffee in a sports diet: Is coffee good, bad or irrelevant? Let's answer some of the questions athletes commonly ask about coffee as it relates to their daily diet as well as to their exercise program. Is coffee bad for me? That is, will it hurt my health? To date, there is no obvious connection between caffeine and heart disease, cancer or blood pressure. The general answer, according to leading medical and scientific experts, is normal coffee consumption produces no adverse health effects. (The average American consumes 200 milligram caffeine per day; the equivalent of about 8 to 10 ounces--an average mug--of coffee.) For the 10% of Americans who ingest more than 1,000 milligrams caffeine per day and sustain themselves on the cream and sugar in coffee plus a few cigarettes alongside, heart disease is indeed more common--and linked to the poor diet and unhealthful lifestyle. What does coffee do to my body? The caffeine in coffee is a mild stimulant that increases the activity of the central nervous system. Caffeine helps you stay alert and enhances mental focus. Caffeine's stimulant effect peaks in about one hour and then declines as the liver breaks down the caffeine. If you are an occasional coffee drinker, you'll tend to be more sensitive to caffeine's stimulant effects as compared to the daily coffee consumer who has developed a tolerance to caffeine. What about coffee and women? Pregnant women should limit caffeine to less than 300 mg. per day (<12 ounces of coffee). Women who are trying to get pregnant might want to reduce caffeine intake even more, but more research is needed to clarify the controversy over the effects of caffeine on fertility. Women who are worried about getting osteoporosis may have heard that caffeine is linked to low bone density. The solution is to consume at least 8 ounces of milk per day. How about putting more milk in your coffee or enjoying some lattes? Do people get addicted to coffee? Although coffee has been a popular bevera for centuries, its sustained popularity fails to classify it as "addictive." Coffee is not associated with the behaviors found with hard drugs (such as a need for more and more coffee, anti-social behavior, severe difficulty stopping consumption). If you are a regular coffee drinker who decides to cut coffee out of your diet, you may develop headaches, fatigue or drowsiness. The solution: gradually decrease your caffeine intake rather than eliminate coffee cold turkey. And be aware, if you should get a headache due to caffeine withdrawal, caffeine-containing medicines such as Anacin or Excedrin will foil your efforts to reduce your caffeine intake! How much caffeine is in espresso? Ounce for ounce, espresso is about twice as strong as coffee (35 vs 18 milligrams caffeine per ounce of Starbuck's). BUT.. because the espresso serving is so small, you end up with less caffeine: 35 mg from one shot (one ounce) of espresso vs 140 mg from an 8-ounce Starbuck's coffee. How much caffeine does cola have compared to coffee? The typical 9-ounce mug of coffee averages 200 milligrams of caffeine. This is about 5 times more than the 35 to 50 milligrams in a can of cola. The real kick from soft drinks comes from sugar, not caffeine. If I drink too much beer, will coffee help me sober up? No. Coffee will just make you a wide-awake drunk. Coffee does not speed the time needed for the liver to detoxify alcohol. Coffee does get water into your body, and that can have a positive effect. Does coffee count towards my daily fluid needs? Yes. All fluids count--plain water, juice, soup, watermelon--and even coffee. The rumor that coffee dehydrates people lacks scientific support. Coffee can make you urinate more in two hours--but not in 24 hours. Even during exercise in the heat, athletes can consume coffee and not be concerned about dehydration. What about pre-exercise coffee: Will it help me perform better? Maybe. Studies suggest caffeine taken an hour pre-exercise can enhance performance and make the effort seem easier. Caffeine also mobilizes fat so more gets burned for fuel. Some researchers believe this helps athletes burn less glycogen and enhances endurance. The recommended "dose" is about 1.5 to 3 milligrams caffeine per pound body weight (225 to 450 mg caffeine for a 150 lb person; the equivalent of 10 to 20 ounces of coffee). Caffeine's response varies from person to person. Hence, trial and error will teach you the best practices regarding caffeine intake for your body. If you are unaccustomed to drinking coffee, take heed: Consuming a mug of coffee on an empty stomach an hour before a running event or a rugby game, can leave you feeling unduly jittery, nervous and suffering from "coffee stomach." If you always drink coffee before you exercise, you'll likely want to maintain that practice before a competition--if for no other reason than it can promote regular bowel movements and keep you out of the portatoilets mid event. Isn't caffeine considered an illegal drug by the Olympic Committee? Yes, caffeine in very high doses is considered illegal by the IOC. However the amount most athletes generally consume is far below the legal limit. You'd have to drink 3 to 4 mugs within the hour pre-exercise to reach the limit. That much would likely hurt performance. Copyright: Nancy Clark, MS, RD January 2002 Nancy Clark, MS, RD is a nutrition counselor at Boston-area's SportsMedicine Brookline.

Why is the doctor performing this procedure?
To increase blood flow to the heart and body, and to decrease the heart's workload.
What is the procedure?
Intraaortic Balloon Pump, commonly called IABP, is a catheter-based procedure reserved for patients with severe heart disease (e.g. heart attack, congestive heart failure, etc.), and/or while waiting for a heart transplant.
The procedure requires placement of a catheter with an Intraaortic Balloon attached. The balloon is inserted into an artery, usually in the groin (the femoral artery) and then advanced into the largest artery in your body, the aorta. Next, the catheter is connected to a computer that will control the inflation/deflation, timing and pressure, so that the balloon will inflate when the heart muscle relaxes and deflate just before the heart pumps again. This process is called "counterpulsation." which assists your heart as follows:
The pump at your bedside inflates the balloon in your aorta when the heart is relaxed, allowing the heart to receive more oxygen rich blood without working so hard. Then, just before your heart gets ready to pump this oxygenated blood, the pump deflates the balloon. This creates a drop in pressure within your aorta, assisting your heart in pumping the blood more easily throughout your body.
Once your heart stabilizes and can function properly on its own, the IABP and catheter are removed, and pressure is applied to stop bleeding.
IABP is typically used for the following situations:
Where is the procedure performed?
Intraaortic Balloon Pump is usually done in the Cardiac Cath Lab. Occasionally, it is performed in the Operating Room (OR) or the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
How long does this procedure take?
The placement of the IABP takes about 30 minutes. The catheter and IABP are then left in place until no longer needed - usually a few days.

Hi everyone,
I produce in Ableton and I switched my soundcard to ASIO. When I change back to the primair soundcard, the arrangement sounds bad. (not that clear as with asio, it's to deep and there are too little high tones.) the problem is that when I export track, the quality is the same as when I produce with the primair card... (because my laptop drives on the primair card I think)
Anyone tips?
Couldn't it be that your primary sound card has more latency? and Hz, maybe it has less Hz or whatever it's called. I'm not familiar with Ableton, so I have no idea where to look for the preferences etc. to change that, but I know in FL Studio that it is dependent on those things. I think the latency could be the thing.
Guys this is exact the same problem as I have.. I'm joining a remix contest and I have to send my remix by July 3rd. I need your help asap;-)! Does anyone know what to do to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Here another one, this is maybe better explained. This guy also uses Ableton

Don Erickson, of Carlisle, Iowa, spent his weekend walking through Nebraska.
But that's nothing. By the end of the January, he plans to have walked roughly 3,300 miles from New York to California to raise awareness for organ donation.
It's just him, a jogging stroller that hauls his tent, not a child, and the open road.
The 55-year-old decided to embark on his journey in December. He researched the routes he would take, what he would need and what he might encounter, and hit the road in mid-June.
Erickson is not an organ transplant recipient, but he is a donor through the Iowa Donor Network. He's made it his mission to encourage others to become organ donors.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 120,310 people are waiting for an organ, 18 people will die each day waiting for one, and one organ donor can save up to eight lives.
"I think we can cut (those numbers) way down," he said. "Who knows, maybe one day we can get rid of those statistics altogether."
He's witnessed first-hand how being a donor can change lives.
When a friend's brother, Joseph Rethmeier, died in his mid-30s, he donated his organs, saving five lives and improving dozens of others.
That helped family and friends grieve because they saw the positive impact his organ donation had on others.
"When I read some of the letters from the recipients, they were gut-wrenching," Erickson said. "I get chills just thinking about them."
A grandmother who had received one of the organs wrote, "Now I get to hold my grandchildren and watch them grow up."
Erickson made his way into Omaha on Wednesday after crossing the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge. He stopped at the Nebraska Medical Center and the Lied Transplant Center to chat with doctors and staff members. On Monday, he was in Lincoln en route to Beatrice before he reaches Kansas.
Strangers have offered Erickson food, a place to stay and anything to help him along the way.
"The people I have met have been awesome," he said. "People are inherently good. This trip has really restored my perception of the human kind."
When people don't offer him a hotel room or warm place to stay, he pitches his tent at churches, fire stations and homes of willing residents.
It's been a pretty smooth trip so far, except for a stolen cell phone in New York, blisters from walking in the rain in Pennsylvania and a lost wallet in Illinois.
Erickson said he's never been an avid runner or exercise enthusiast, but he's always loved to challenge himself.
After the trip, he said he plans take a vacation in California, then visit relatives in Australia. He'll rest for a few weeks and get back to reality, working as an electrician.
"If I can affect even one life by taking six or eight months out of my own life to do this journey, I think it's a win-win," he said.

We had a room on the first floor which was full of cockroaches by the middle of the night. We got moved to the 5th floor and this was better. Wifi was abit temperamental. Some staff were ok. One chap didn't talk a word of English so that was difficult and frustrating at times.

Room was inhabited by small ants. Every morning I had to clean them off my staff. A/C did not work properly. Once installed the A/C has probably been never cleaned or checked. It worked more like fan with no cooling or drying functionality. Staff was friendly (nothing special in Vietnam) by not very honest at the same time. On the plus side, it must be sad that location of the Ciao Hotel is excellent. Would I stay in the hotel once more? No.

Comments: This elliptical has been great for me so far. It has a pretty smooth stride and is a great space saver. The one problem I have with it is that it makes a clicking noise with every stride. It has done that ever since I have gotten it. I also wish it had somewhere to enter your height and weight so it would give a better estimation of calories burned. But other than that it seems to be working great! Love that I can actually have it in my home, but I REALLY wish I would have gotten the price it is now rather than what I paid for it!

The Yardbirds
Musician, songwriter, producer. Born James Patrick Page on January 9, 1944, in Heston, England. He was inspired by rock star Elvis Presley's "Baby Let's Play House" to take up the guitar at the age of 13. As a teenager, Page joined his first band, Neil Christian & the Crusaders. He toured with the group for a time, but he had to leave after suffering from a glandular fever.
After a stint at art
school, Page returned to music. He then became a session musician and a
producer, working in England's thriving rock scene with such acts as the
Rolling Stones, the Kinks, and the Who. In 1965, Page was asked to join
the Yardbirds, a blues-influenced rock band, which had just scored a
big hit with "For Your Love." The band wanted him to take over for Eric
Clapton, who left the group for John Mayall's Bluebreakers. Page turned
them down and recommended fellow session musician and legendary
guitarist-in-the-making Jeff Beck. The Yardbirds sought out Page again
the following year, and he finally agreed to become a band member.
For a short period of time, the Yardbirds had two lead guitarists, Page and Beck. Beck left in late 1966 because ill health and a possible nervous breakdown. After Beck's departure, the Yardbirds released Little Games (1967), but they could not match their earlier success. The band fizzled out in 1968, and Page formed a new band to play some remaining Yardbirds concert dates. Initially calling themselves the New Yardbirds, the band consisted of John Paul Jones on bass and keyboards, John "Bonzo" Bonham on drums, and Robert Plant on lead vocals.
Led Zeppelin
Quickly renaming themselves Led Zeppelin, the band toured the United States as the opening act for the American rock group Vanilla Fudge. They released their first album, Led Zeppelin I in 1969, which earned mixed reviews. As John Mendelsohn wrote in Rolling Stone magazine, "Jimmy Page, around whom the Zeppelin revolves, is, admittedly, an extraordinarily proficient blues guitarist and explorer of his instrument's electronic capabilities. Unfortunately, he is also a very limited producer and a writer of weak, unimaginative songs, and the Zeppelin album suffers from his having both produced it and written most of it (alone or in combination with his accomplices in the group)." While critics may not have been thrilled by their work, music fans enjoyed such tracks as the now classic "Dazed and Confused." Their songs showcased Page's skills as a musician, often featuring his intense guitar riffs.
Led Zeppelin soon developed a strong following. Music fans really enjoyed the band's hard rock and heavy metal sound.

Two more administrators are retiring from the Norfolk Public Schools, creating an almost complete turnaround in central administration staff in about two years. Doug Witte is retiring as Associate Superintendent of Student Services, and Frank Hebenstreit will be retiring early in 2015 as Director of Special Education. Senior High Assistant Principal Mary Luhr, will be moving to the central administration team this summer to replace Witte and that Hebenstreit will stay for the fall semester before retiring in early 2015.
Lawmakers on a Nebraska education committee are looking for new long-term goals for the state's K-12 schools and colleges. Senators voted 33-0 to advance the bill yesterday that would create a "statewide vision" for education. Sen. Kate Sullivan of Cedar Rapids, chair of the Education Committee, says its members will reach out to various groups to help determine what the state's goals and priorities should be for education. Possible changes include changes to the state-aid formula for schools.
Governor Dave Heineman is cautioning against making too much out of a consultant's proposal that the state needs to build three new prisons to ease overcrowding. Heineman says the state is studying closely its options to relieve state prisons that at present are 50 percent above their designed capacity. Building new prisons could cost the state up to $130 million, a price tag that has been a non-starter at the state Capitol. The consultant's report recommends building an additional 900 beds at state prison facilities in Lincoln and Omaha. Heineman favors taking care of non-violent offenders through community treatment facilities, with supervised release after they leave. Other proposals include sending more inmates to the McCook Work Ethic Camp and having counties house some state inmates.
Animal Shelter of Northeast Nebraska officials are raising funds to build a $1.5 million facility that would house 35 dogs and 35 cats. The Shelter's executive director Sydney Hurley was in Madison yesterday to speak to the Madison County Board of Commissioners, but not to ask for money; she was seeking a letter of support. Hurley says almost $500,000 has been raised so far and that they'll break ground on the state-of-the-art, 6,300-square-foot facility, once they've raised $750,000. Besides serving as a temporary home for the animals, the shelter would provide veterinary services, as well as spay and neuter programs. The commissioners voted unanimously to approve the letter of support.
Humanities Nebraska has chosen Norfolk as one of two sites this year for "Nebraska Chautauqua: Free Land? 1862 and the Shaping of America."

But the Chautauqua isn't just for adults. A Youth Chautauqua Camp is slated for Monday through Friday, June 16th through the 20th. Elkhorn Valley Museum Administrative Assistant Ali Jo Abler says kids will get to choose a Northeast Nebraska historical figure from the late 19th century. It's open to kids who have completed 4th through 8th grades, but will be limited to 20 participants. Abler says a committee will screen applications to choose the 20 who will take part.

Criminal Justice
4 GOP lawmakers push for Boston bombing suspect to be declared an enemy combatant
Posted Apr 22, 2013 5:49 AM CDT
By Molly McDonough
Four Republican lawmakers have urged President Obama to declare the captured Boston Marathon bombing suspect an enemy combatant while the investigation into the chain of events continues.
But the New York Times points out that while suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a naturalized American citizen and a Muslim, there is no current evidence to connect him to al-Qaida.
Senators Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, John McCain, R-Arizona, and Kelly Ayotte, R-New Hampshire, and Congressman Peter King, R-New York, issued a statement Saturday praising the decision not to read Tsarnaev his Miranda rights and calling for the enemy combatant designation.
"It is clear the events we have seen over the past few days in Boston were an attempt to kill American citizens and terrorize a major American city," the lawmakers asserted in the statement. "The accused perpetrators of these acts were not common criminals attempting to profit from a criminal enterprise, but terrorists trying to injure, maim, and kill innocent Americans."
The Obama administration, however, has maintained that terrorism suspects arrested inside the United States should be handled exclusively in the civilian criminal justice system, the Times notes.
And Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, issued his own statement saying that the laws of war don't apply to Tsarnaev.
"I am not aware of any evidence so far that the Boston suspect is part of any organized group, let alone al-Qaida, the Taliban, or one of their affiliates–the only organizations whose members are subject to detention under the Authorization for Use of Military Force, as it has been consistently interpreted by all three branches of our government," Levin noted. "In the absence of such evidence I know of no legal basis for his detention as an enemy combatant."
Levin asserted that to hold the Tsarnaev as an enemy combatant "would be contrary to our laws and may even jeopardize our efforts to prosecute him for his crimes."
An enemy combatant designation would allow military authorities to question Tsarnaev at length without a lawyer. The Obama administration has already indicated it would use a public-safety exception to Miranda for early questioning. The Associated Press has reported that the federal public defender's office in Massachusetts will seek to represent the 19-year-old suspect once he is charged.
Sen. Graham told the Times that if indeed no evidence emerged that Tsarnaev is linked to al-Qaida, then he shouldn't be held as an enemy combatant. But in the early stages of the investigation, Graham argued that the designation should be made while such links are explored.
"You can't hold every person who commits a terrorist attack as an enemy combatant, I agree with that," Graham told the Times. "But you have a right, with his radical Islamist ties and the fact that Chechens are all over the world fighting with Al Qaeda–I think you have a reasonable belief to go down that road, and it would be a big mistake not to go down that road. If we didn't hold him for intelligence-gathering purposes, that would be unconscionable."
The Supreme Court has upheld the indefinite military detention of an American citizen, Yaser Esam Hamdi, captured on a foreign battlefield. But federal appeals courts have disagreed on whether it's lawful to hold an American captured on U.S. soil without a trial, such as Jose Padilla. Padilla was transferred to civilian courts before the Supreme Court resolved the circuit court conflict.
Tsarnaev was taken into custody Friday night after a massive week-long manhunt following twin bombings Monday that left three dead and more than 180 wounded. Tsarnaev's brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed during a police chase.

Citizens for a Healthy Community (CHC) made the decision in December to hold their own public hearings on the oil and gas lease sales scheduled for Aug. 9. As sponsor of the meeting, CHC invited State Sen. Gail Schwartz to conduct the meeting.
A court reporter and a videographer will record comments from citizens. The video and transcript will then be turned in by CHC to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The CHC public hearing will take place on Saturday, Jan. 28, from 1-5 p.m. at Hotchkiss High School.
CHC decided to hold their own hearing after learning BLM would not hold any formal hearing between now and the sale.
Barbara Sharrow, field manager for the BLM Uncompahgre Field Office (UFO), said on Jan. 13, "At this time there is no public hearing scheduled. It's not normally done." She added, "We're getting lots and lots and lots of comments. We are getting a lot of really good information."
One of the points of contention is that parcels are being offered for future oil and gas development based on an out-of-date Resource Management Plan (RMP) from 1989. The RMP is in the process of being updated. Information for the updated RMP, scheduled to be completed in 2013, will be included in the Environmental Assessment regarding the parcels up for lease.
"Part of why we are doing an Environmental Assessment (EA) is to recognize or disclose anything new since the 1989 plan," Sharrow said.
Citizens have been urged by CHC and NFRIA-WSERC Conservation Center (NWCC) to request that BLM do the detailed Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) rather than the EA considered to be a general overview.
Sharrow countered, "I think it is just the opposite. The Environmental Assessment looks very specifically at specific projects, which this is. The Environmental Impact Statement would be much more broad and be much more generic."
CHC and NWCC have asked that no lease sales be allowed until a geological study is completed and included in the 2013 RMP.
"It will be included in the RMP and we are also looking at that because it may be new information," Sharrow said. "We are looking at all kinds of things in this Environmental Assessment."
The BLM will be providing a lot of their own information in addition to the comments from local towns, citizens and grassroots organizations.
"The public comment period ends on Feb. 9. We really can't do a whole lot until the end of the public comment period, can we?" Sharrow said. "We know people are impatient but they are the ones who asked for the extension."
CHC and NWCC conducted public information meetings in December and early January in Hotchkiss, Paonia and Crawford.
While BLM does not have the exact dates for the comment periods after Feb. 9, Barbara Silverman, NWCC outreach coordinator, gave a general schedule based on BLM information at the North Fork Valley meetings.
In her overview of the process from nomination of parcels to the sale, she explained that BLM must conduct four sales a year. Industry, individuals or the BLM itself can nominate parcels. BLM, using the 1989 RMP, will determine if the nominated parcels appear to be available for oil and gas development. If so the BLM will consider putting them up for sale.
During the Scoping Period, BLM allows the public to comment. Normally it's a 30-day period. Because of the number of letters received requesting an extension, BLM gave the public an additional 30 days to comment, until Feb. 9. The BLM is looking for specific information on the nominated parcels.
According to Silverman, the next deadline will be about mid-March when the EA is put together. That will be followed by another 30-day public comment period.
"At each one of these steps it is entirely possible that we will see parcels taken off," Silverman said. "Permanently taken off the list for leasing or temporarily deferred for further investigation."
Following a month or more after the EA comment period is completed, a list of the parcels which are still going to be included in the lease sale will be released. Citizens will have another opportunity to voice their opinion during the Protest Period.
The live auction of the 10-year oil and gas leases will take place on Aug. 9 in Denver. Those bidding have to be present or send a representative.
Robin Smith, Citizens for a Healthy Community chairman of board, spoke on Jan. 12 at the Paonia Rotary Club.
Smith told the Rotarians, prior to the latest BLM proposal to lease oil and gas, there were about 200,000 acres of land in and around the Delta County area leased for gas. That includes the Delta County region and Gunnison County by the Paonia Reservoir and north of Delta into Mesa County stretching toward Grand Junction.
There are dozens of wells that have been drilled, Smith said, with most activity around Paonia Reservoir in the Bull Mountain area.
"The largest gas unit in the state was actually between Delta and Grand Junction, a 90,000 acre proposal to drill 500 wells. That has just been retracted. They now say they are going to drill 50-100 wells," Smith said.
Smith then detailed the CHC strategy concerning the oil and gas leases. "Our organization is hiring a full-time staff person, hopefully on board by February, solely to work on oil and gas issues."
Their public hearing at Hotchkiss High School is this Saturday. "We will record all the proceedings. We will get the transcripts and the video, and we will submit that with our comments to BLM by the Feb. 9 deadline," Smith said.
On Feb. 9 when public comments are due, CHC, High Country Citizens' Alliance and others who are submitting comments to BLM will organize a caravan from the North Fork Valley to the BLM office in Montrose. "We will hold a short rally about how we will get the leases withdrawn. Then we will go inside and submit our organizations' comments on behalf of the whole group."
Smith continued, "Then we will use the next month to apply political pressure on our two senators, Secretary of Interior, our county commissioners, our state representatives, to get them to our side."
CHC wants to nationalize the issue with a YouTube video.
After the EA is released, CHC will hold public meetings with the goal of more letters written by citizens to BLM.
CHC has formed a partnership with the Western Environmental Law Center. "We have two attorneys working closely with us. Should we feel the law has been violated and our community not protected, these attorneys will help defend and protect our community."
CHC will file a formal protest if BLM goes forward with the proposed lease sale. "If BLM denies our protest, we can litigate their denial," Smith said.
"After we have successfully gotten these parcels removed," he continued, "We're going to push forward on a moratorium on gas development
. . . We want these lands taken out of those potential leasable areas so that for the next 20 years we won't have to fight this again."
He concluded, "Once the lease is given out, the lease is a legal right to drill. If we don't stop it now, it's too late."

Did You Know? Hotel la Perouse
March 9, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
I A Hotel La Perouse was given its name as a tribute to the great French navigator, Jean-Francois Galaup, Count of La Perouse (1741-1788). Louis XVI ordered La Perouse to lead a scientific mission that set sail from Brest on August 1, 1785, on two ships: the Astrolabe and the Boussole, which were filled with treasures. There were 213 men on board, including some of the era's great researchers. Their goal was to sail around the world and discover new lands and unknown civilizations.

Did You Know? The Merrion
March 7, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
One of the most recognizable features of Dublin luxury hotel The Merrion is its two landscaped period gardens. They were designed by Jim Reynolds, a noted Irish landscape artist.
The smaller of the two, known as "Lady Mornington's Garden," links The Main House to the Garden Wing. This contemporary wing completes the enclosure of the garden, so that many of the guestrooms enjoy views over the large central garden. Both gardens re-create the feel of an 18th century garden with box hedges, water features, pathways, statuary and obelisks.
In summer, the large garden becomes an extension of the drawing rooms in The Main House, with waiter service so that guests can dine al fresco.
In 2004, to celebrate the fifth successful year of operation for The Merrion, the board of directors commissioned a rose to celebrate this milestone anniversary. Working with the Amateur Rose Growers Association's David Kenny, an Irish rose grower from Co Carlow, The Merrion Rose was planted in the extensive gardens of the hotel. A patio style rose, The Merrion Rose, growing to a height of around 75 cms, is of a deep rose pink hue with a yellow, white eye.

March 6, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
The Gleneagles Hotel has officially relaunched The Club, which is the hotel's leisure complex. The re-launch, which took 12 months and cost £5 million, coincides with the hotel's 90th anniversary and arrives just in time for the 2014 Ryder Cup, which is being held at the hotel.
The Club's reception area now has a viewing gallery overlooking the pool hall, and a waiting area with comfortable seating.

The changing facilities have been enlarged with more lockers, vanity tables, and added space for adult and toddler changing cubicles.

The former lap pool has now been transformed into a soothing adults-only zone. There is a whirlpool tub, sauna and steam room, and heated loungers. The leisure pool now features a waterfall, bubble jet crossing, and bubble pool. Undergoing a complete transformation, the old outdoor pool is now an Alpine Onsen. The outdoor pool now combines the look and feel of a hot mountain pool with the tranquillity of a highland landscape.
The hotel has previously unveiled a series of developments including the £3 million overhaul of the Dormy Clubhouse in 2011, the installation of The Blue Bar - a new outdoor whisky and cigar bar - in the same year, and a £1 million investment in its PGA Centenary Course in 2012. In 2013, the resort invested £1million in refurbishing 36 of its 232 rooms, as part of a rolling revamp.
The Gleneagles Hotel was built in 1924 and is situated in 850 acres of beautiful Perthshire countryside, just one hour's drive from Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Did You Know? Hamilton Turner Inn
March 6, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
Hamilton Turner Inn was built in 1873 for Savannah alderman Samuel Pugh Hamilton and his family. In 1883, the Hamilton mansion was the first residence in Savannah to have electricity installed. The entire house was fitted with electric lights by 1886, around the time Hamilton became president of the Brush Electric Light & Power Company.
Dr. Francis Turner purchased the house from the Hamilton estate in 1915 and lived there with his family until 1926. The mansion was opened for boarding and became a home for the Marine Hospital nurses in 1928. The Turner family moved back into the home in the 1940s, and the courtyard level was Turner's medical office.
The Turner family sold the house in 1965 to the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. The plan was to knock the building down and turn the lot into a school playground. The Historic Savannah Foundation intervened, and the mansion was spared from the wrecking ball.
Over the next 30 years, the Hamilton-Turner house changed hands several times, at one point even being converted into apartments. The Inn even appears in John Berendt's best-selling book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
In 1997, The Hamilton-Turner mansion was converted into an inn.

Did You Know? Hotel El Convento
March 5, 2014
By: Five Star Alliance
A landmark monument to the Conquistador Age, Hotel El Convento in San Juan, Puerto Rico showcases a timeless aura of Old World charm and splendor. As the first Carmelite Convent in the Americas, it housed nuns for 252 years until closing a few days before Christmas in 1903. Vacant for a decade, the abandoned building served as a retail store, a dance hall, and, for the next 40 years, a flophouse without running water, sanitary facilities, or electricity.
Opened on Jan. 27, 1962 as El Convento Hotel, it offered a tranquil, European-style alternative to the glitzy hotels lining the Condado strip.

History, Geography & Climate
Minnesota became a state in 1858; the 32nd state in the union. People first came to Minnesota during the last ice age. They probably followed herds of large game into this area.
Minnesota's First Inhabitants
Some of those early Minnesota people carved pictures of humans, animals and weapons into rocks. Some of these carvings, called "petroglyphs," may be 5,000 years old – and many are still visible today in Minnesota's state parks, such as Jeffers Petroglyphs near Comfrey and Windom. Ancient burial mounds and unearthed objects like spear points are evidence that people lived here ages ago.
The Dakota and Ojibwe (also called Chippewa or Anishinabe) Indians lived in Minnesota when the first Europeans arrived. Many Dakota, Ojibwe and other American Indians live in Minnesota today.
European Settlers
In the late 1600s, French explorers led an expedition into Minnesota, and were soon followed by fur traders for French, and then British companies, who come for beaver pelts to make hats in Europe.
In 1825, Fort Snelling became the first permanent European-American settlement. This site is now a state historic site. The early settlers in the territory were primarily Americans from the East Coast. By the 1860s large numbers of immigrants, especially Germans and Scandinavians, came to Minnesota.
More information about Minnesota history can be found at the Minnesota Historical Society website.

- 69,200 miles of rivers and streams
- 680 miles of the Mississippi River's 2,552 total miles flow through Minnesota.
- Minnesota borders Lake Superior, which is the world's largest freshwater lake. Lake Superior is at the end of the St. Lawrence Seaway, which brings boats from around the world to the port of Duluth, Minnesota.

Four Seasons of Fun
The weather changes often in Minnesota! Each season comes with its own pleasures. Spring brings warming temperatures and a major "green-up" as trees grow leaves and flowers and vegetation spring to life.
Summer is sunny and pleasant. It is common to have several days as warm as 90 degrees Fahrenheit (and a few warmer).
In the fall, the trees turn brilliant colors as the days cool down. "Fall colors" are a major attraction to Minnesota late August – October. You can see fall color reports (link) during this time period on this site.
Minnesota is known for its cold winters... but we just bundle up and go out and play in the snow.
Temperatures are usually slightly warmer south of the Twin Cities, and cooler in northern parts of the state. There is also typically less snow in southern Minnesota and more in northern Minnesota, especially in the northeast inland from Lake Superior.
Twin Cities average temperatures
Jan. 31 - 21 F/1 F (High/Low)
Apr. 30 - 62 F/41F (High/Low)
July 31 - 83 F/60 F (High/Low)
Sept. 30 - 65 F/42 F (High/Low)
Average annual snowfall:
53 -70 inches
Normal annual precipitation:
19-34 inches (rainfall and water equivalent of snow)
Fun fact:
It takes 10-12 inches of snow to equal one inch of rain (depending on how dry the snow is)!
