David Alan Grier and Steve Trevino were super hilarious. Jeff Garcia was also a great host for the show.
Please support Sindy Stengel-Godfrey's Orange County Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Woman of the Year 2009 Campaign, a 10 week fundraising campaign in which each dollar raised counts as one vote and the candidate who gets the most donations is named the Orange County Man/Woman of the Year. This year's fundraising efforts will honor a local patient (6 year old Reese Endresen – 2009's Orange County Boy of the Year who has a rare form of Hodgkin's Lymphoma). Sindy's family was impacted twice this year by the disease. Her father Bob Stengel was diagnosed on March 3, 2009 with Acute Monocytic Leukemia (AML) and passed away the following morning after diagnosis, having experienced no symptoms until one week prior. Then on April 17th, 2009, her 6 year old nephew Jameson was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and is currently undergoing aggressive chemotherapy. Sindy has made it her mission to raise funds for Leukemia and Lymphoma research in Orange County and the Inland Empire, but she needs your support to do it.
Don't miss a great night of comedy for a wonderful cause. 100% of the ticket sales will be going to the Orange County/Inland Empire Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Tim J. Thormann faces a variety of charges over threats he allegedly texted to an 18-year old NCHS Senior.
For that, he was charged with intimidation and interference with a public institution of higher education.
When police arrested Thormann Tuesday in the NCHS parking lot, police said he had a knife and for that he's charged with unlawful use of a weapon.
Police said he never had access to the school itself.
He remains in McLean County jail in lieu of posting $1,000 bond.
He's scheduled to be back in court next week for a bond hearing and arraignment.

alumni profile
One could be forgiven for thinking Jerry Barrish's studio was a junkyard. After all, it's filled with discarded plastic materials gathered from recycling centers, scrap yards, and the beach near his home in Pacifica. But in an act of alchemy, Barrish transforms these alternative materials into assemblage sculptures, often of musicians and animals, noted for their nuanced sense of character, gesture, and narrative.
This transformation is only one in a life full of metamorphoses. After a stint in the army, Barrish started a bail bond business in San Francisco in 1961, at age 22, and found himself at the center of the civil rights, anti-war, and free speech movements, bailing out many arrested protesters. In 1971, he took advantage of the GI Bill to attend SFAI, where he majored in film. "It was an amazing time to be an independent filmmaker at the school," says Barrish, who studied with central figures in experimental film including James Broughton, Larry Jordan, and George Kuchar. Over the next 15 years he made three feature-length films, which screened in venues from the MoMA in New York to festivals in Germany.
In 1989, inspired by a traffic cone that he found on the beach, Barrish began making plastic assemblages, and that has remained his primary style. "I think the hardest thing for any artist in any field is to find their own voice, to make their work their work," says Barrish. "I found a voice, and I am really happy with the results."
He's not the only one. His sculptures are in the collections of institutions including the Oakland Museum of California and the di Rosa Preserve, and his first public art piece, a 16-foot-tall bronze trumpet player, will be installed at Hunters Point Shipyard next year. He's even the subject of a documentary, Objects of Desire, the Art of Jerry Ross Barrish, currently in production.
Looking back over his career, Barrish recognizes that SFAI helped instill the qualities necessary for lifelong art practice. "In real life as an artist you have to know how to self-start, you have to do research, you have to solve problems. And the school really said, 'If you want to be an artist, this is the place to be.' "

Former Southeastern Louisiana University football standouts Nathan Stanley and Devan Walker each signed respective free agent deals on Saturday as the 2013 NFL Draft concluded its annual three-day event.
Stanley, who played his final two seasons at Southeastern after transferring from Ole Miss, signed with the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. The 6-foot-5 quarterback threw for 1,952 yards – the eighth-highest single-season total in school history – while throwing for nine touchdowns in 2012.
The Tahlequah, Okla., native, who played in the Casino del Sol All-Star Game and East-West Shrine Game, finished his two-year career sixth in school history in passing yards (2,238), sixth in completions (205) and seventh in attempts (385).
Walker, a Baton Rouge native and former Catholic High product, signed a free agent contract with the San Diego Chargers. After playing his first three seasons at defensive end, Walker was moved to linebacker in 2012 and was named All-Southland Conference after recording 46 tackles with a team-high 12 stops for loss and seven sacks.
Walker, who participated in the Texas vs. the Nation All-Star Game, recorded 168 tackles in his career and finished third on the school's all-time list for tackles for loss (37.5) and sacks (15).
The signings of Stanley and Walker increased Southeastern number of NFL free agents since the school resumed football in 2003 to 11 and came one day after Robert Alford was selected in the second round (No. 60 overall) by the Atlanta Falcons and becoming the second-highest draft pick in school history behind linebacker Calvin Favron who was the 46th overall pick in 1979 by the St. Louis Cardinals.

text: Honestly, I've never been a huge Pillar fan. I liked a number of songs off of their previous albums, but there were so many tracks that just didn't appeal to me at all, like they were underproduced or just filler songs. I went to the Pillar website a little while back and they mentioned that they believed this would be their best CD yet, and in the past they had written songs just to fill out the CD. When I first looked at the case and saw there were only 10 tracks, I was a bit disappointed, but I figured as long as they were all good songs it was totally worth it. After all, its rare that I find a CD with that many good tracks on it. This CD makes it sound like it was effortless. Every song is great, there isn't one song that I consistently skip. I can see people complaining about it because perhaps there is a lack of variety, but honestly, its different enough for me and this is exactly the style of music I love. If you liked Skillet's Comatose album (whose previous albums I didn't care much for also), I'm willing to bet that you'll like this CD as well.

I knew the day would come that the closed distilleries started pricing themselves beyond what I was willing to pay. Sure, Ben Wyvis and Kinclaith had long been outside that, but those were easy enough to disregard – I've never heard anyone raving about that one legendary Kinclaith that they wish they had just one more pour of.
Port Ellen, on the other hand, has been the go-to example of a closed distillery that is almost always good to great and generally in a fairly predictable profile. If you like it, the odds are that you're going to find plenty of Port Ellens that really work for you. And, for the longest time, given the realities of the situation, the price has been fairly reasonable. After all, the distillery has been closed 29 years; most whisky being released under the name has seen three decades or more in oak, and the stocks dwindle while awareness continues to rise. It's a perfect storm for price increases.
Fortunately for producers, we happen to be in a period of increased demand for the stuff, and it seems like no price is too much to ask. Last year, Diageo's official release of Port Ellen was hovering around $500 – definitely high, but it didn't require an inordinate amount of back-bending to plausibly justify.
Oh, what a difference a year makes.
After a year of seemingly endless one-offs, exclusives, and special editions (which still seemed to find audiences and sell through), we're truly in Cabbage Patch Kid season: the end of year seasonal releases. Diageo, the Van Winkles, Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, Parker's, Jefferson's One-Horse Open Sleigh Aged, etc. While these are normally tricky to come by, this year the insanity is already boiling over and we still have a solid two months left in the year. The best example? Thomas H. Handy, the criminally underrated member of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection sold out in under five minutes at The Party Source's sale. I'm sure Jim Murray's stamp of approval didn't hurt, but even last year you could casually walk into your favorite liquor store even into January and grab a bottle. The party's over, it seems.
This time around, the producers seem to be charging a premium on what the market can bear. I remember the critiques last year – Port Ellen was instantly snapped up and sold on the secondary market for $800 – that said that Diageo should jack prices up to stop the speculators. They did – oh, how they did.
If you were fortunate enough to find a Port Ellen release this year in the UK, you would have been paying over a thousand dollars once all was said and done. I don't know about you, and perhaps it sounds a bit rich coming from the guy who's bought a couple expensive Macallans (never again), but I was definitely out of the market at $1000.
A couple days ago, K&L announced their last cask of the year – a Port Ellen! I was excited and ready to spend – I figured it'd be $400 absolute maximum. The announcement did the usual bit of story-weaving, but there was clearly an undercurrent on the economics both in the announcement and in David's writing over the last couple weeks. Their $300 (retail) Ladyburn from last year, as Driscoll noted, would have cost $900 wholesale per bottle. The punchline of the announcement was that the K&L exclusive Port Ellen, a coup for any shop trying to cement itself in the upper echelon of whisky retailers, was going to cost $600 a bottle.
I was out of the market immediately.
It's nothing to fault K&L or Diageo for that matter – people are as mental for Port Ellen as they are for Pappy – but this does seem to mark a point where Port Ellen is moving out of "splurge bottle" and into the price category dominated by the very wealthy. No doubt the next five years (perhaps next year, being the 30th anniversary of the closing), will bring us an oligarch-focused release that cracks into the vaunted five-figure barrier. Obviously it'll need a special decanter and a wooden box, but the supply chain is clearly firing up in the "deluxe whisky decanter" and "deluxe whisky decanter velvet-lined box" cottage industries.
This was a point of reflection for me, and it seems that the Port Ellen I own at this point is the last Port Ellen I'll buy. Maybe there will be some sample swaps, and maybe something will catch my eye at some point, still at a more reasonable price, but for all intents and purposes, the new release purchasing is over for me. Funny; I'd have thought it would have been Brora first.
Instead of being bothered by it or by running out and laying my hands on every Port Ellen I could find, I decided to recall the absolute best Port Ellen I've ever had. I fortunately had a small amount of it remaining, and this sort of "farewell" seemed like a good opportunity to revisit it.
This particular Port Ellen was an older bottle from James Macarthur – you've seen them, they're usually sitting in the semi-anonymous lower shelves and are all too easily confused with the various mystery malts. This particular Port Ellen was bottled at 12 years old, at 62.7% ABV.
The nose on this one is a great mix of lightly tarry notes, a little light leather, lemon and young malt. It has a faint minerality to it, as well as a little faint pepper prickly quality. It opens up and evolves while it breathes, revealing fresh Red Delicious apples, white pepper, hints of tangy barbecue sauce. Eventually you even get into lighter fruits – peach and apricot with a touch of a briny quality. All of this still happens with that great Port Ellen peat happening.
The whisky has a nice, full, and rich mouthfeel. There's a moderate heat to it even though at 62.7% it could be off to the races and super hot. There's moments of wood here and there, but it's not out of balance. White pepper and chili oil form the basis of the heat; light lemony notes run around the heat. There's a malty sweetness and tarry smoke as expected, and some organic earthiness, with a gently insistent ashiness. There's a really enjoyable mix of sweetness, heat, and a little ash to keep the palate interesting.
The whisky finishes on tarry smoke, a pronounced lemon note which seems to have a quick Earl Grey tea chaser. It's got a touch of malt and dry wood, and it dries further to barley with a little lemon at the tail end.
My words feel like they don't do this one justice. Honestly, if I could have no other whisky for the rest of my life, I'd be OK if I only had this one. It's got such a great balance of tastes.
Apparently there's another version that was released before this one which was more heavily sherried which got a ridiculous rating like 98 from Serge. I'd love to try it but the fact is, these Macarthur bottles are exceedingly uncommon and seem to only show up as minis on the secondary market in Europe. If you want one, you're going to have to be prepared to hunt and pay.
Who knows where things will go from here. I'm still pretty convinced prices are going up for some time yet; I wish I could keep pace and enjoy things like these new Port Ellen releases, but they've now gone out of my range. So, the day has come to say goodbye. Any future Port Ellen reviews you see here are likely from bottles I have on hand, unless I specifically call out "a great deal on Port Ellen that I recently found…". Given the current climate, I don't expect to be writing those words anytime soon.
At a Glance:
Port Ellen 12y James Macarthur 62.7% ABV
Nose: A great mix of lightly tarry notes, a little leather, lemon, young malt. Ever so faintly mineral. A little prickle with faint pepper. A faint touch of fresh Red Delicious apples in the background. White pepper and a little light, tangy barbecue sauce. Over time, lighter fruits evolve – hints of peach, apricot. Faint brine.
Palate: Nice, rich, full palate. Moderate heat despite the high ABV. A little wood on the body; white pepper, a touch of chili oil, some light lemony notes. Malty sweetness and some tarry smoke. A slightly organic earthiness, but there's still a gently insistent ashiness.
Finish: Nice tarry smoke, a definite lemon chaser, and perhaps a bit of Earl Grey tea right behind that. Lightly tarry, a touch of malt, a touch of dry wood and barley. Lemons pop up again after a bit.
Comment: Honestly, this would be the one whisky I'd have if I could have no other. A great balance of all the tastes.
Rating: A

I purchased my 1DC in mid march and have done over 3Tb of video since,
Just sharing my observation in my couple month of using it. Since day one I had the over heat indicator lid up once. It was 20degC indoor, occur near 25-30 min of recording, during this occurance I had been hand helding the 1DC on the right side all the time with it mounted on the monopod. As soon as I took out the CF card it disappear. From than on I never held the 1DC fully/fulltime on the right side grip, overheat never occur again even if I have film contiously during a live concert. Seem like heat problem is with the CF writing not the CMOS. In my past experience with other camera is alway the heat of memory during writing of the files cause the temperature problem.
In your case, if your Ti casing is in contact with the camera to dissipate the heat to the cold water. I do not see 1 hour usage is any problem.
For 4K24 video the 1DC can only record 32mins(128GF CF) each time you press the button, it cannot record across 2 CF card, U need to stop and start a new recording when the card is full.
Also it only work with the 1000x UDMA7 card.

Chandler Police have a new K9 in town, thanks to some generous donations and one determined officer.
Officer Matthew Tevault has been with Chandler Police for more than three years. He says the town needed help to crack down on the drug problem.
The department gave him the okay for canine addition, under one condition. Officer Tevault had to raise the money himself.
Officers had their eye on a dog named Bikkel. He's a five-year-old Belgian Malinois.
Officer Tevault says donations came in quicker than he expected and before he knew it, they had enough money to buy Bikkel from a station in Paducah. He is already trained, but will go through training again with his new handler.
Bikkel is a dual purpose dog...trained in both narcotics and patrol. Narcotics training was chandler's main concern, but now he'll be able to assist in daily operations.
"As far as if we have a residential alarm or a building alarm where we can send an officer in there and it might take five minutes to clear the house or the building, we can send a dog in there and cut it down in half the time to send a dog in there," Tevault said.
He's also trained to do tracking and apprehension.
"If we have a suspect that breaks into a building or flees from a vehicle, he's trained to track the suspect and apprehend as well. Also to do searches as far as if there's a child that runs away that might be autistic or an elderly person with dementia or something the dog can assist," Tevault said.
Officer Tevault say's they've received about $4,000 in donations, but they need another $6,000 before the pair can begin training.
Christopher Carswell started the organization, 1 Boy 4 Change, and donated a heating & cooling system for Officer's Tevault. The system helps regulates the car temperature and automatically rolls the windows down when the car gets too hot for Bikkel.
Donations have come from Sam's Club-Evansville, Warrick County FOP, Chandler National Bank, Willis Auto Sales, Herr's Body Shop, Guthries Pharmacy, Hucks, Posey Co Sheriff Dept, Brian Thompson, Hi Tech Sheet Metal, Chandler Starter, Jeff Stricker, Jerry Redman, Nate Whyte, E&B Paving, Gary Howard Farms, Robert Stephens, Doug Duell, Old National Bank, Powerline, K&M Speciality Pumps, Jerry & Donna Lutz,H eilman Mt Olive General Baptist Church, ERI, and Lilpop Auto Sales.
All donors, both businesses and individuals, will be entered into a drawing for a Nashville vacation package donated by Bill Skaggs.
If you'd like to make a donation, you can mail a check to the Chandler Police Department at 417 E Jefferson Ave Chandler, IN 47610. Be sure to put K9 Fund in the memo line. Donations are tax deductible.
You can also make donations at Circle S, Hucks and Casey's in Chandler.

My wife Laura and I have been happily married for 20 years. We've had a great sex life. Laura has done many exciting things during our marriage. Six years ago when a stripper at a club we were in had to cancel at the last minute, Laura took her place and did a slow striptease for a dozen guys. She removed her clothing and danced for us in her bra, panties and heels.
The most daring thing Laura ever did was act out a scene with me in front of a videocamera. We fucked in front of our neighbor as he operated the camera. The neighbor sure got to see plenty of my wife that evening.
But what happened last month I should get a medal for. Laura occasionally enjoys bondage. She loves being made helpless and having me take full advantage of her. One Sunday afternoon I had her on the bed with her wrists tied securely to the headboard.
Laura was still in her Sunday church clothes, a short pleated skirt, a long sleeved blouse, and dark stockings. I was really going to work her over. I even got a sleeping mask and put it on her. I was going to make it very suspenseful and arousing for her.
I was just running my hand above her stocking stops when the doorbell sounded. I quickly got off the bed and left the bedroom, leaving Laura helpless. I opened the door and there stood our neighbor, Andy. I didn't want to appear rude so I invited him in and even offered him a beer.
Time just seemed to drag as I thought of my hot wife waiting to be pleased in the bedroom. I wanted to get back to her so badly. Then it hit me: Why not let Andy enjoy my wife? I'd love to watch my wife being taken care of by another man.
I told Andy what I had waiting for me in the bedroom, my wife tied, helpless, and blindfolded, just waiting to be pleased. Could I get away with it? As long as Andy didn't say a word, maybe he could enjoy my wife. I knew I sure would like to watch.
I asked Andy if he would undress Laura, eat her pussy, and then as a last treat, I wanted to watch Laura suck his cock. Andy was all for my plan. I reminded him that for all this to work, he couldn't say one word, and he said he understood. I then got to my feet and opened and closed the door loud enough for Laura to hear it, so she'd think that the visitor had gone home. Quietly Andy and I entered the room.
Laura looked as sexy as ever with her skirt hiked up a bit. We could see the smooth skin just above her stockings. The blindfold was still perfectly in place so I gave Andy a silent signal to start on my wife. He approached the bed quietly and sat on it.
Andy's right hand went to Laura's knee. Very slowly, he moved it upwards, and in seconds I could see the garter straps and the soft warm thigh above the fabric.
He kept moving up until we could see her plain white panties. Then he moved his fingers towards Laura's crotch. I watched with excitement as Andy began to tease and move his fingers lightly over my wife's pussy.
"Oh, don't stop," Laura begged. Her hips moved with pleasure as he played with her pussy. Everything was going perfectly! Andy didn't have to be coached on what to do, and he sure was enjoying himself. He removed his hand from under my wife's skirt and began to unbutton her shirt.
Soon her shirt was wide open and he was unhooking her bra to expose her tits. Her nipples were swollen and dark brown. Soon they were wet with Andy's saliva as he worked her nipples over with his hungry mouth. By now I had a hard on bigger than a house.
I watched as Andy pulled Laura's skirt down her lovely legs. She was beautiful, lying there in her dark stockings and white panties. I could just make out the dark nest of hair underneath the light fabric. Andy lowered his head and began to plant soft kisses near Laura's pussy.
"Don't stop. Please don't stop. Take my panties off and really eat me out," Laura said.
Andy did as he was asked, and down came Laura's panties, exposing her hairy crotch.
He jackknifed Laura's legs and opened them wide. I watched as he enthusiastically went down on my wife, licking, sucking, and flicking her clit and lips. Laura squirmed around, twisting in pleasure, moaning loudly.
"Eat me, eat me," she pleaded. I never made my wife explode as quickly as Andy did that afternoon. Laura spasmed wildly and screamed as she climaxed in Andy's mouth.
"It's my turn, I want to taste you. I want to swallow your come," said Laura. Andy got to his feet and removed his pants and boxer shorts, releasing his stiff cock. I was thankful Andy was the same size as I was, otherwise I wondered if maybe Laura would be able to tell the difference.
Now I was prepared to witness something I've always wanted to see: my wife giving a blowjob to another man. In seconds Laura had her busy lips around Andy's hard cock. She's an expert at sucking cock. She can really tease a man with her skillful tongue and wet mouth.
I swear I didn't know how Andy did it: As he came, shooting his entire load into my wife's hungry mouth and down her throat, he never made a sound. Not a moan, not a whimper, nothing to give him away. I couldn't believe it!
Andy removed his wet dick from my wife's mouth. Quickly he put his shorts and pants on and left ever so quietly. I stripped my pants off and took the mask off Laura.
"Boy, you were great this time, and you tasted fabulous! Better than ever," Laura sighed, smiling at me.
"Oh, thanks honey," I replied, amazed that I'd gotten away with it.
"One thing though," she continued, still smiling. "Usually you make a lot of noise when you come."
"Oh?" I said nervously.
"Yeah, and your dick seems to have grown, too. It felt so much bigger than it usually does! And so thick! I wish your dick could always be like that, honey, every time we make love."
I looked at her as she lay there with a dreamy expression on her face. I was shocked, and not a little bit hurt, until I saw a slow smile spread across her face and she began to laugh.
I finally I realized that she knew it had been Andy the whole time, and was just playfully getting back at me.
"You can't fool me with someone else's cock," she laughed. "But maybe we should invite your friend back again next week," she murmured, as she rolled on top of me. Name and address withheld

(WMC-TV) - Eight elementary school students were issued a juvenile summons after passing a gun around on campus.
The police investigation revealed that a 7-year-old boy brought a gun to Ross Elementary School to show to his friends Tuesday. The gun was passed around among eight students.
A 10-year-old boy was in possession of the gun at the time of his arrest.
There were no injuries.
Parents were shocked and scared when they found out a student brought a gun to school Tuesday for show and tell.
DaSchunna Mallory is one of many parents shocked at what was going on inside her daughter's school. Just before noon Wednesday, Memphis Police recovered a loaded gun from a 10-year-old student at Ross Elementary School. Mallory says the school never notified her.
"I'm very distraught that I had to find out through Facebook," Mallory said. "I found out through, actually you were the first alert."
Memphis police said the gun was brought to the school on Tuesday by a 7-year-old who had passed it around to seven other kids. School officials were alerted when the loaded weapon was back at school Wednesday.
"And it's very disturbing to find out that it was a loaded gun and it was passed around," Mallory added.
Ross Elementary School Principal Evette Smith sent a letter home to parents Wednesday.
Here is an excerpt of that letter:
"We discovered that a student brought a firearm to school. Please be assured that school administrators located it very quickly, and that no students were injured. The Memphis Police Department was immediately dispatched. School administrators and Memphis Police Department will strictly discipline in accordance with the law and MCS board policy."
Read the full letter, click here: http://files.wmctv.com/parentletter.pdf
"I know they have policies and procedures," Mallory said. "But something more needs to be done to actually inform us."
Mallory shudders to think what might have happened to her 9-year-old daughter or any other student if that loaded gun had gone off.
"We need to start letting people know when something like this happens because someone could have easily got shot," she said.
The school district is reminding parents to help by checking their child's belongings and backpacks every day to make sure they do not bring something dangerous to school.
And parents, remember to safely store your weapons and get a gun lock. If you do not have one, you can get one at any of the Memphis Police Department's nine precincts for free.

Rap music star Eminem blasts Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga in tweets, why?
[Jun. 9]
Sounds like Eminem (a.k.a. Marshall Mathers) has caught a little Bieber Fever of his own — of the ill will variety. While green celebrity humanitarian and pet friendly activist Justin Bieber was between appearances at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards and the 2011 CMT Awards (for country music fans), the rapper who does not pull punches was busy getting his name in the press over venting about the Biebs and also pop music star Lady Gaga to his fans. The hard-hitting rapper from Detroit has gone back to his old ways on his new track, A Kiss, hurling insults at the stars around him. This time Slim Shady is aiming for the Biebs and Lady Gaga. He referred to Justin Bieber as somehow evil and hints that star celeb Lady Gaga is a hermaphrodite, reported USA Today. But the track comes off as relatively soft, compared to some of the blasts Eminem has fired at former star celebs like Christopher Reeves and Moby. The whole schtick has left a lot of people (including morning news media on June 9) wondering if Eminem is just losing ground to Bieber Fever and is simply riding coattails to prop up his own record sales.
So besides attacking the Biebs and Mother Monster Lady Gaga (who he alluded to being a transgendered woman — a celebrity scandal rumor Showbiz Tonight pointed out started about a year ago and is already old news to just about everybody in Hollywood and not very interesting as it just sensationalized LGBT lifestyles without really helping or hurting anybody), who is Eminem going after now?
Last year and the year before Eminem was all hot and bothered by Mariah Carey and her new husband Nick Canon. This year, Eminem was even softer on star celeb Katy Perry than he was on the Biebs and Lady Gaga. He mentioned "tailgating" Perry, which leaves one to wonder how her husband, British comedian Russel Brand, is going to react. Then again, he may have more to worry about from the Bieber Fever fans.
Is this latest outburst just a touch of jealousy of Bieber Fever we're seeing from the star celeb rapper, or is he drifting back to his insult days, mocking all the other Hollywood stars around him? It's hard to tell, but it's true that Slim Shady has spent most of his career attacking other Hollywood star celebs. It might just be a return to what works for him.
And we'll probably all forgive him, because after all — Eminem really is a good soul at heart by all that GCN writers can see. He is simply a product of his environment, and that includes having a voice about Hollywood celebrities that is the same as anybodies.
Eminem is a green celebrity and the founder of the Marshall Mathers Foundation, which helps disaffected youth in Michigan, the home state of the star celeb rapper. The foundation works in conjunction with the Eight Mile Boulevard Association in Michigan, which Eminem also supports. He also supports ninemillion.org, which helps the 9 million child refugees around the world with education and sports programs.

Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - Marcus Morris scored 26 points to pace a balanced offensive attack, as Kansas survived a tough first-round test from a pesky Lehigh squad and emerged with a 90-74 win in the Midwest Region.
Morris also pulled down 10 rebounds for the Jayhawks (33-2), the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Sherron Collins finished with 18 points and six assists, Tyrel Reed drained four three-pointers to log 12 and Cole Aldrich totaled 11 points, eight boards and five blocks for Kansas, which also received 11 points from Xavier Henry.
The Jayhawks will face ninth-seeded Northern Iowa in the second round on Saturday.
C.J. McCollum had 26 points, seven rebounds and three steals for the Mountain Hawks (22-11), the Patriot League champions. Zahir Carrington contributed 17 points, six boards and three blocks for Lehigh, which was making its fourth appearance in the tournament and first since 2004. The program remains in search of its first win at this event.
A 16 seed has never taken down the top seed, but Lehigh came out strong to give Kansas an early scare, grabbing a 12-4 lead on a Carrington jumper at the six-minute mark.
Morris knocked down a trey, igniting a 21-2 surge, but an undaunted Mountain Hawks squad registered 11 of the game's next 12 points to pull within 26-25 with 2:50 to play in the opening frame.
Kansas pushed its advantage back to six at the break, then stretched the lead to 11 at 43-32 in the early stages of the second half. Lehigh whittled the deficit to 50-44 before the Jayhawks began to pull away and increase the margin to 21.
The lead ballooned to 81-60 on a Morris dunk with 4:43 left in regulation. Kansas led by no fewer than 13 points the rest of the way.
Tyshawn Taylor had six points and six steals for Kansas...Marquis Hall registered 10 points and five assists for Lehigh...The Jayhawks are making their 39th NCAA Tournament appearance and 21st in a row, the longest active streak in the nation...Kansas shot 64.9 percent in the second half...The Jayhawks outscored Lehigh 52-18 in the paint and held a 41-33 edge on the glass...The Mountain Hawks made 17-of-21 free throws.

Sixth Grade Farm Trip Overnight a Success!
I could hear the bus of 18 singing sixth graders approaching and ran to greet them as they pulled into the dirt driveway of Duyck's Peachy Pig Farm Saturday afternoon. We unloaded the bus, had a little welcome meeting and helped one another trek our gear through rows of raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries to set up camp. With tents set up in the shade of a row of pine trees we fueled up with a snack and to explore the 6o plus acres of bucolic farmland. We grazed on berries, figs, plums, filberts, fresh corn, and tomatoes. We played on an amazing merry go round, and visited Pigs, week old piglets, goats, a llama, a mini horse, a big horse, chickens, geese, ducks, a cow and an Emu! On our way back to camp be collected fresh veggies for our dinner.
Back at camp we made personal Calzones. Each student made their own dough, filled it with fresh veggies, personalized it, and got back a piping hot hand pie full of farm freshness to dip in marinara sauce!
Night fell and some of us went to start a campfire, others headed up the hill to play capture the flag in the moonlight. As the full moon rose higher in the sky we all came together to the fire to enjoy, s'mores, jokes, and reflections of the day. Tuckered out and well fed we retired to our tents to rest up for another fun filled day on Sunday.
The roosters woke up up around seven, followed by the sound of
giggles in tents as camp stirred to life. We woke up Gracie in her tent with a cupcake, candle, and a round of "Happy Birthday." Early risers grabbed buckets and headed into the berry patch to collect fresh strawberries and raspberries for our berry crepe breakfast. We worked together to cut the berries and make our crepes. The kitchen was inspired with left-over using creativity and we were soon pumping out self titled "Berry Blast," "Original Berry," "Original," "S'mores," and "Plain" varieties!
After breakfast we went to feed the animals. Our hands were tickled by horses lips, we giggled about pig snouts, and had our hears melted by the goats. We played some more and all gathered around Gracie's beautiful birthday cupcakes and celebrated.
A Scavenger hunt was just the thing to burn off our cupcake energy and we searched the farm high and low for treasures before heading back to camp for fresh veggie pasta lunch.
After lunch we loaded up our gear, hung out with our friend the David Bowie Rooster, and headed to the barn where we met Jacinta who let us hold piglets! It was a real highlight to cradle week old pigs in our arms!

Many Catholics give up a vice for Lent, but even if you don't do it for religious reasons, you may find that giving something up for the same 40-day period is a good way to kick-start a healthy habit or lose weight. To see just how effective avoiding an unhealthy food for 40 days can be, we've rounded up 10 popular foods that many people choose to give up for Lent, along with the total calories you'll save if you avoid them. Below, see how many calories you can save in a little over a month from just giving up your favorite junk food. Source: Thinkstock 1 Soda What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Soda is the source of hundreds of unneeded calories, so now's the time to make the switch to water. Forgoing a soda a day for 40 days will save you 124 to 189 calories a day. Total amount: 40 sodas Total calories saved: 4,960 to 7,560 calories Source: Thinkstock 1 / 10 2 French Fries What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 They're salty, fried, and addictive, and it's hard to stop at just a few. Giving up your normal once-a-week order of medium fries for the Lent period will save you 350 calories a week. Total amount: Six medium orders of fries Total calories saved: 2,190 calories Source: Thinkstock / Wavebreakmedia Ltd 2 / 10 3 Fast Food What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Want to go for the whole meal? If you normally pick up fast food once a week, skipping out on a typical fast-food meal will save you 1,200 calories a week. Total amount: Six fast-food meals Total calories saved: 7,200 calories Source: Thinkstock / Ingram Publishing 3 / 10 4 Ice Cream What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If Lent means giving up your twice-a-week bowl of vanilla ice cream in front of the TV, you'll be saving 460 calories a week (more, of course, if you go for the fancier flavors). Total amount: 12 bowls of ice cream (1/2 cup each) Total calories saved: 2,760 for vanilla ice cream or 3,000 for chocolate ice cream Source: Thinkstock 4 / 10 5 Alcohol What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A glass of red wine a day can be beneficial to your health, but if you normally drink a glass of red wine with dinner, you'll be saving 127 calories a day if you stop for Lent. Total amount: 40 glasses of red wine (five ounces each) Total calories saved: 5,080 calories Source: Thinkstock 6 / 10 6 Lattes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Many people choose to give up coffee for Lent, whether it's because they want to wean themselves off their caffeine dependence or just because that daily Starbucks run can add up money-wise. Giving up your daily Starbucks Grande latte made with two-percent milk will save you 190 calories a day. Total amount: 40 Grande Starbucks lattes (16 ounces each) Total calories saved: 7,600 calories (if you normally buy nonfat-milk lattes, you'll save 5,200 calories) Source: Flickr user dailyfood 6 / 10 7 Meat What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Meat can be an important part of your diet if you choose lean protein options, but too much red and processed meat is bad news for your health. Whether you want to see what it's like to go vegetarian for a while or you realize that your diet contains too much saturated fat for your liking, giving up a once-a-day red meat habit for Lent could save you anywhere from 207 calories per serving for one four-ounce steak to 184 calories for four slices of bacon. Total amount: 20 servings of red meat and 20 servings of bacon Total calories saved:7,820 calories Source: Thinkstock / Stockbyte 7 / 10 8 Chocolate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A piece of dark chocolate every day can quell sweet cravings while still providing you with a long list of benefits, but if your daily chocolate habit is getting out of control, then what better time to give it up for a few weeks? For example, not eating three squares of dark chocolate a day will save you 170 calories. You'll save 210 calories a day if you eat one serving of milk chocolate Hershey's Bliss squares (six pieces). Total amount: 40 servings of chocolate Total calories saved: 6,800 for dark chocolate or 8,400 for milk chocolate Source: Thinkstock / Stockbyte 8 / 10 9 Carby Snacks What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Snacking can be a dieter's best friend, but only if you choose the right kind — ones that are filling and nutritious, without all those empty calories. Avoiding a serving a day (10 crackers) of Ritz crackers, for example, will save you 160 calories a day. Forgoing a one-ounce serving of Cheez-Its every day (about 27 crackers) will save you 150 calories per serving. Total amount: 40 servings of crackers Total calories saved: 6,400 calories for Ritz or 6,000 calories for Cheez-Its Source: Flickr user jeffreyw 9 / 10 10 Potato Chips What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 These unhealthy snacks deserve their own category! If you're giving up that twice-a-week potato-chip habit for Lent, you'll be saving 153 calories per bag (306 calories a week). Total amount: 12 bags of chips Total calories saved: 1,836 calories Source: Thinkstock 11 / 10 229 847 252 26 3 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Calorie BreakdownsLentMardi GrasWeight Loss Weight Loss Don't Waste Calories at a Bar: 5 Low-Calorie Cocktails to Order at Happy Hour 18 hours ago The Truth About Caffeine and Your Wokout 23 hours ago Before and After: How 1 Woman's Love of Nature Got Her Moving 1 day ago Here's How to Burn 300 Calories 1 day ago The 25 Best Foods For Weight Loss 2 days ago 12 Reasons You're Not Losing the Baby Weight 3 days ago calorie breakdowns What to Skip, What to Sip: Starbucks's Creamy, Icy Drinks 7/20 Celebrate Summer Without Gaining a Pound: Cookout Calories 7/02 8 Tasty Combos For Your Quinoa Bowl 6/26 Celebrate With a Cold One!

I am giving up all sweets, crisps, chocolate (except over 70% solids as I'm in revision period), fizzy drinks and only allowing one night of drinking a week. Good luck everyone in whatever you are giving up! Glitterbug 2 years Wow! I'm baffled and a bit taken aback that you would include lattes, red wine and dark chocolate on a list labeled UNHEALTHY foods to give up for Lent. Nonfat lattes, small pieces of dark chocolate, and a glass of red wine now and then are all on my list of acceptable treats. I am very health-conscious and would never bat an eyelash in choosing these items as my treats, because they are not unhealthy by any stretch of the imagination. Anything in moderation is perfectly okay, but these items in particular have all been regaled for their various health benefits. Fitsugar, I'm disappointed. Jenn2381535 2 years I'll preface this by saying I am a fallen Catholic -- but it really grinds my gears when Lent is seen as a "diet season." Lent is about penance - giving up something that is a vice for you, to remind you of Christ's suffering. If giving up soda is truly a sacrifice for you - go for it - but the true meaning of Lent goes so much deeper than 140 calories saved per day. taylor55 2 years Sweet.

The French Chef paid a special visit to Andover last week, courtesy of Lynne Moulton of Delvena Theatre Company.
Moulton portrayed Child in the live performance on May 14 at Memorial Hall Library. Using a set that resembled the kitchen of "The French Chef" TV show, Moulton offered a glimpse of Child's life from her privileged childhood in California when she had no interest in food except for eating what the family's private chef prepared to becoming one of the culinary legends of all time.
Delvena Theatre Company's past shows at Memorial Hall Library have included "A Christmas Carol," "Lizzie Borden and the 40 Whacks" and "Where 'Ya Been, Amelia?" The company was founded in 1992 and has performed at various venues, most often at the Boston Center for the Arts.
The evening included a reception with hors d'oeuvres and a brief meeting of the Friends of Memorial Hall Library.

What a bunch of hypocrites the piazza brothers are. A number of years back, when lucky was seeking to build a larger grocery store in alma plaza, they were insistent that the city maintain the 20k square foot limit for grocery stores. They stated it was unfair to allow larger stores. And now.....? They have a store that is 20% over that limit. So why did they do it?

Today while carpooling for lunch I saw the new Safeway sign going up on the building visible from ECR. Looks much more difficult to access than the California Street location. I'll reserve judgement until I try it. Piazza's and Miki's are nice, and JJ&F has its own special atmosphere, but generally my grocery shopping is midnight or later, when traffic is not an issue, and Safeway suits me fine.

Does anyone know why none of the supermarkets in Palo Alto have decent selections of Asian foods/herbs/spices? I know there are dedicated Asian markets in Mountain View, Sunnyvale, and Cupertino, but those are all quite a drive and I don't want to add to the heavy traffic. If the city is really anti-pollution, can't we encourage a wider variety of local merchants?

It should not have happened here.
"I feel a little weird that someone has a knife, and they are trying to maybe scare people into doing stuff."
According to a student, who was there, two kids, were fighting at a bus stop, when one of them, announced he had a knife. And he could stab the other with it.
No knife was displayed and the kids got on to the bus. Not long after, the bus' engine stalled, and when the driver got off to deal with it, the two students resumed arguing. That's when the one student showed what was described as a pocket knife, shortly after that she says he threw it but it didn't hit anyone.
"I probably could have gotten stabbed or really hurt by it."
At the time, the bus was located, just two blocks away from the police department.
The police came quickly, taking the two children into questioning.
"this morning, there was an incident involving a knife on Bus 48."
Not long after that all Cheney Middle School Parents were getting a phone call.
"No students were harmed, but several students did feel threatened by the presence of a knife."
"they did state that nobody was hurt, so that took some ease off ya know any parents out there"
I did speak with a mom outside Cheney Middle School this afternoon, who told me, the school has great communication with parents, and she always feels like her children are safe.
No one from the district wanted to talk on camera, referring me to the letter that was sent home with all students.
It says the district will assess appropriate consequences to the student for his actions.
After checking with the district's zero tolerance policy involving weapons, that could include suspention or expulsion.

MT. VERNON — Newly named Mt. Vernon Township High School Board of Education member Jeff Harpole was officially sworn in Wednesday at a special board meeting.
Harpole, an alumni of MVTHS, replaces former board member Kim Alvis, who resigned in June because of her new job. The MVTHS Board approved hiring Harpole at the July 15 meeting, but he was not officially sworn in until Wednesday.
"I just look forward to representing the teachers, parents, the community, and especially the children," said Harpole, a pharmaceutical sales representative. "I'll do my best to represent them."
In addition Wednesday, the board held a closed session to discuss the two vacancies left by the sudden resignations of board members Jon Hawthorne and Greg Backes on July 15.
About seven applications have been received for the positions so far and letters of interest are being accepted through Friday.
"We have applications. We're going to discuss the merits of each one of those," said Board President Carl Miller, just prior to the closed session.
The board conducted no action after the closed session Wednesday. However, two follow-up special meetings have been set for July 29 and 31, both at 6 p.m., Miller said.
At the July 29 meeting, the board will interview candidates in closed session. Then at the next meeting, the board plans to appoint two new members, Miller said.
Harpole currently serves on the Mt. Vernon City Schools Foundation Board, and helped to form the Mt. Vernon Soccer Booster Club Board. He is also active in the MVTHS Music Boosters.
He said he applied for the school board because it seemed like the right time to do so. His oldest daughter is going to be a senior at MVTHS and his youngest daughter is now entering seventh grade.
If the current building plan holds true, Harpole's youngest daughter will be part of the first MVTHS freshman class at the newly built high school.
"She'll be in that first class," Harpole said.
Also on Wednesday, the board approved three new hires — science teacher Kelly A. James, family consumer science teacher Samantha Gilbert-Smith, and freshman volleyball coach Catherine Kohnen.

Melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer. About 76,690 people will be diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer in the U.S. in 2013, and roughly 9,480 will die from it. While melanoma accounts for less than 5% of all skin cancers, it is responsible for a large majority of skin cancer deaths. Melanoma is one of the more common cancers in young adults — particularly young women — and is not uncommon in those under 30. Melanoma rates have been increasing for the last 30 years, and are highest among people in their 80s.
What is Melanoma?
Different skin cancers start in different layers or cells of the skin. Cells located in the basal layer of the epidermis, called melanocytes, produce a brown-black skin pigment (melanin) that determines skin and hair color. Melanin also helps protect the skin against the damaging rays of the sun.
As a person ages, melanocytes often increase in number, forming concentrated clusters that appear on the surface as small, dark, flat, or dome-shaped spots. When this cell proliferation occurs in a controlled manner, the resulting lesion is benign (non-cancerous) and is commonly referred to as a mole or nevus. Sometimes, however, pigment cells grow out of control and become a cancerous and life-threatening melanoma.
At first, melanoma cells are found in the epidermis and top layers of the dermis. However, once they grow downward into the dermis, the cancer can come into contact with lymph and blood vessels. The thicker the melanoma, the greater the likelihood that it could spread to distant sites. Removal of the lesion before it reaches the deeper layers of the skin is important for achieving a cure.
Types of Melanoma
Superficial Spreading Melanoma. Superficial spreading melanoma is the most common melanoma skin cancer — and the most curable. It is flat, asymmetrical, unevenly colored, and usually grows outward across the surface of the skin.
Nodular Melanoma. Nodular melanoma skin cancer appears as a fast-growing brown or black lump, and its characteristics do not always fit the definitions described above.
Lentigo Maligna. Lentigo maligna (sometimes called Hutchinson's freckle) usually occurs in elderly people and is marked by flat, mottled, tan-to-brown freckle-like spots with irregular borders. These lesions often appear on the face or other sun-exposed areas and can take 5-15 years before they become invasive, after which the condition is called "lentigo maligna melanoma."
Acral Lentiginous Melanoma. Although rare, acral lentiginous melanoma skin cancer is the most common melanoma among African and Asian populations. It commonly appears as a dark patch on the palms, soles, fingers, toes, under fingernails or toenails, or in mucous membranes.
Amelanotic Melanoma. A rare melanoma that can be very hard to diagnose because it is pink or flesh-colored. It also breaks the general "ABCDE" rule for recognizing most melanomas.
Growth Pattern
If untreated, melanoma cells usually spread first through the lymph vessels or glands. Melanoma cells can also spread by way of blood vessels to various organs, spreading cancer to the liver, lungs, brain, or other sites.
Melanoma skin cancer tends to grow in stages. At first, most melanomas tend to be flat initially and spread laterally across the skin surface as they grow. At this early stage, which can last 1 to 5 years or longer, removal of the growth has an excellent chance of curing the melanoma. Still, there is a chance that some of these melanomas are invasive, and they should be treated aggressively. Lesions that become raised or dome-shaped over at least part of their surface indicate that downward growth has occurred. In some cases, this growth is rapid, occurring over a period of weeks to months. Later-stage melanoma is difficult to treat, especially when it has metastasized to distant organs or lymph nodes.
Any suspicious lesion should be checked immediately (this photo gallery shows what they look like), particularly if it has grown quickly or is partially flat and partially raised.
Common sites of melanoma skin cancer in men include the head, middle of the body (trunk), and neck. In women, common sites are the arms and legs. However, any area of the skin may be affected. You may not notice melanomas if they appear on areas that are difficult to examine, such as the scalp or the back. Less common sites for melanoma include:
- Fingers
- Palms
- Soles of the feet
- Genitals
- Lips
- Under the fingernails or toenails
The presence of a dark lesion under the nail that runs into the adjoining skin and doesn't heal may signal melanoma. Rarely, melanomas appear in the mouth, in the iris of the eye, or in the retina at the back of the eye, where they may be detected during dental or eye examinations.

Some Democrats are already looking ahead to the 2016 election and their next candidate for president.
In an interview on CBS This Morning, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean and former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell-- both former chairmen of the Democratic Party-- said they'd like to see Hillary Clinton in the White House.
"If she wants it, I think it's hers," Rendell said.
"If she wants it, you'll probably see two supporters right here," Dean said.
Mrs. Clinton lost a tight primary battle with Obama in 2008 and now serves as secretary of state.

Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen. A bout between the two was all but a foregone conclusion to Dana White on August 23rd, eight days before UFC 151. Then Jones threw a wrench into everything by turning down the bout, which led to the cancellation of the event and subsequent re-booking of Jones vs. Vitor Belfort at UFC 152. The UFC wanted to book Jones, the light heavyweight champion, against Sonnen, a middleweight who lost his last two title bouts in that division, purely because no other options were available. It was the only way to save a card that was poorly booked in the first place. It wasn't a competitive scrap by any means.
And now they want to book it again? And commit a season of their reality show to it as well?
I get some of the logic. Jones is hurt, and can't fight for a while. It's probably smart to keep him in the spotlight to a degree, even if The Ultimate Fighter is a spotlight that's in real danger of burning out. They've been trying to book Sonnen as a coach on the show for a while now. He's a good mouthpiece and has been around the sport for a long time. In some way, each side makes sense.
But not against each other.
Booking stuff like this just makes the UFC look less sporting and more about profit everyday. There are a pack of light heavyweight fighters out there that deserve an opportunity to compete for the title in their own division. Sure, some of them have already had their chance and failed. But why does a mouthy middleweight who is coming off a bad loss get a title shot in a division he hasn't competed in since 2006? I understand that it is a business first and foremost, but spending six months building a non-competitive title fight between these two seems like pure desperation to me.
No coach can turn around The Ultimate Fighter. Not Jon Jones. Not Chael Sonnen. They could have Manny Pacquiao vs. Georges St. Pierre on there and no one would care. The coaches aren't the problem. The format is. So while Jones could be coaching against a true contender in his division to keep him out there, Sonnen could be making bank as the third-most popular PPV draw in the company...by fighting on PPV. Instead, they'll both be languishing on FX for three months, generating manufactured drama and earning mediocre numbers for the efforts. And then they'll probably draw a PPV buyrate that's below everyone's expectations because the fight is so non-competitive, and wonder what happened.
If this isn't what's known as hot shot booking, I don't know what is.

A jam-packed South Bend Common Council meeting Monday.
Members voted to boost their own pay, and there was a surprise speaker in the crowd.
An officer, who says he couldn't hold back anymore.
Officer David Newton went before the Council to talk about an investigation into his boss, South Bend Police Chief Ron Teachman.
Newton says there were more than 50 people fighting outside the King Center and one man said there was a gun.
That's when he called for backup on the radio. He said Chief Teachman, who was inside the King Center, didn't come to his aid.
Indiana State Police have already investigated and Mayor Pete Buttigieg says the chief did nothing wrong.
Newton says Mayor Buttigieg said the issue made a mountain out of a molehill, but Newton says that wasn't the case.
"I am sure that this letter will result in the regression of my career and payback in the future of some type because I am making this request. However I can no longer sit by and watch the flip characterization by mayor Buttigieg that the incident was quote 'a molehill being made a mountain,'" says Newton.
Also at the council meeting Monday, a little controversy over a resolution passed by the Council to provide a tax abatement for an affordable housing project.
The $8.5 million dollar project by the Near Northwest Neighborhood would renovate the old Ford distribution building on Portage into 42 units.
Councilwoman Valerie Schey says the request is not like others because the non-profit already receives federal funds through HUD.
She also requested Near Northwest give jobs to local workers during construction who are a fair representation of the community.
"It's somewhat beholden to serve many of those residents that have been disadvantaged in the past and have not had an opportunity to grow their skillset and participate in the economic opportunities have come before the city," says Schey.
Near Northwest says only private funds will be used for the project.
Those who live near the building say it would be good for the community, "We haven't had any development up and down Portage avenue from downtown to Cleveland Road. There's been almost nothing in eight years I've lived here and I think we should go ahead and approve this as soon as possible."
The NNN says its committed to giving 4% of project costs will be bid to businesses of minorities, women and veterans.
Lastly, community members asked the Council to write a letter to the Secretary of Defense asking for an exemption for the Mayor's deployment next year.
Community activist, Mario Sims says the Mayor hasn't made clear whether he volunteered to deploy or whether he was called up.
Sims says the Mayor has more important duties to take care of here in South Bend.
The Mayor's office released this statement in response:
"If the Navy considered the mayor to be exempt, he would not have been ordered to Afghanistan. As a military officer he has made a commitment to our country, and his orders require him to keep that promise by going to Afghanistan next year. He recognizes that for these purposes, he is just a sailor and it is his turn to go." -Kara Kelly, spokeswoman, Office of Mayor Pete Buttigieg
The Council also voted to give themselves a 2% raise and to keep the Mayor's salary the same at $100,431 at his request.

Avoid Ruining Yourself On Facebook
Before you do anything else on Facebook, take a moment to realize something! You can easily let yourself get involved in a particular conversation and walk right into damaging your future.
It's very easy at the moment to make a negative statement about something or worse yet someone. It may seem that you are simply responding to a comment or a question in that one little story.
But when you do it, you may end up regretting it. It may end up costing you the chance of getting a job that would change the future of your life.
Don't criticize other people on Facebook. Why? It could come back to haunt you the next time you're looking for a job.
When it comes to personality, two of the traits employers most value are those who are agreeable and conscientious. Experts are educating employers that people who test high for being agreeable and conscientious are the least likely to insult others on Facebook.
So if you write 'My roommate is a jerk' on your wall, prospective employers will look at that and deduce that you are not agreeable or conscientious. And your resume could end up in the trash can.
Keeping things classy on your Facebook page is a signal to others, including hiring managers, that you are disciplined, courteous and flexible. These are all excellent qualities for an employee.
5 Facebook Guidelines To Follow To Better Yourself:
- Project yourself in a manner so others want to be associated with you.
- Don't post anything that will hurt a friend's image, career or relationship.
- Use the Facebook privacy settings to control others' access to your page.
- Apply offline social rules to your Facebook interactions.
- Always present yourself positively, but honestly, on Facebook.

In my opinion, people should not assume that those who either go to church or work for a church are good people.
Remember the catholic church scandal? These were priests accused of the abuse of minors. So a person going to church or working for a church is not a guarantee that the person is good.
However, the situation with this woman is a little different. She was not only a sunday school teacher, but a mother herself, lived in the community. It just goes to show that we cannot be too trusting, even with our neighbors.

The county's emergency radio system is now in a state of emergency.
With many of the county's chiefs of police crowding its Norristown meeting chamber, the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution Wednesday declaring that an "actual emergency exists" in the county's aging public safety telecommunications infrastructure.
Commissioner Jim Matthews described the measure as a "Band-Aid" that gives the county "the ability to immediately respond to any shortcomings in the system."
Those shortcomings are reportedly multiplying. Lower Gwynedd Chief of Police John Scholly called the increasing difficulty of obtaining replacement parts for the system a "major concern."
"There are parts of the county radio system that are as old as our analog radios. We're deeply concerned that if any part of that should go down, there could be catastrophic results affecting not only police, but also fire and EMS," Scholly said.
The core components of the system were implemented in 1996 and have been in continuous operation since. Motorola, the system's manufacturer, announced in December 2010 that it would no longer provide replacement parts or other support for the system.
On Sept. 20, a backup paging terminal – described as a "critical component of the system – failed during what county public safety director Tom Sullivan called "routine testing." Because Motorola no longer provides those components, the county was forced to immediately purchase a used replacement part on the resale market for $8,000.
Sullivan said the public was never in any danger as a result of the Sept. 20 equipment failure.
Under the county code, the state of emergency empowers the county to "enter into such contracts as may be necessary" to obtain whatever goods and services are needed to keep the existing system operational.
The question of a long-term replacement for the system remains unresolved. Public safety officials solicited information from eighteen vendors earlier this month and received responses from four of them. Two of those, Harris and Motorola, made preliminary proposals.
The next step, Sullivan said, is to hire a consultant to help the county develop a formal request for proposals (RFPs). That process would take six months and involve consultation with most of the county's police departments and other emergency services.
Commissioner Joe Hoeffel expressed frustration with the slow pace of the process, citing initial discussions that began last year.
"This is taking a long, long time," Hoeffel said. "I had no idea it was going to take at least a year and a half to get a RFP in the field."
Bruce Castor, the only sitting commissioner who is running for re-election, expressed concerns about the selection of an appropriate consultant to help the county formulate the RFP.
"How are we going to make sure the [consultant] we pick is going to give us advice worth acting on?" Castor said.
Matthews stressed the need for "full transparency" and "full discovery" for a purchase that is expected to cost taxpayers at least $50 million.
"A future Board of Commissioners is going to have to find the money, but it's better to have the information you need in your hand and then decide how to spend the money to get there than to get to the point where you need to spend money and not have the answers at your fingertips," Matthews said.
"I think we're setting the table for the next administration, whoever that might be, to make a lucid decision," Matthews said.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Joe Johnson scored 28 points and the short-handed Atlanta Hawks rolled to a 103-87 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
Atlanta had only 10 players available, but took an early lead that it never relinquished.
The Hawks built a 19-point lead midway through the third quarter and answered Cleveland's only run late in the period to win going away.
Alonzo Gee matched a career high with 20 points to lead Cleveland, which has lost three straight. Rookie Kyrie Irving scored 19 points and had 10 assists for his first career double-double.
Atlanta extended its winning streak over Cleveland to six games. Jeff Teague added 18 points for the Hawks and Kirk Hinrich scored 14.

LOL, Nostradamus you are not. Beat Bears in Chicago and they did not have to go to Jupiter.Destroyed Cardinals today.
You obvisouly don't watch the hawks. Arizona only one the first game because the hawks recievers could not catch a ball with 4 attemps inside the 10. The hawks also only let Wilson play with half a playbook for the first half of the season. Since they have opened the playbook Wilson has been on fire.
"We have been watching and waiting, but I wouldn't say we intend to continue to do that. I think you watch and wait to try and assess a situation and act accordingly. It might involve more waiting. It might involve moving in one direction or another. We've done plenty of watching and waiting. If we can move in a particular direction, we might do that."

There was Laurinardo Korpikoski (Leonardo), Mikelangelo Smith (Michelangelo), Shane Donatello (Donatello) and Raphael Torres (Raphael).
We're not clever enough to think of a way to link head coach Dave Tippett with Splinter.

Kitchen overlooking Snow's Cut - Carolina Beach, NC — USA
A born and raised native of Wilmington, NC and the surrounding area, my existence started when Edward Teach (Blackbeard) would terrorize our coast with his beard ablaze and his cannons loaded.... Aside from being a great great great great great grandson of Edward Teach and having an insatiable desire to fire a cannon upon unsuspecting boaters - my life began as a boy growing up in Teachey, NC (Duplin County) and Carolina Beach.
When I was 9 years old, my daddy bought me a complete Nikon F2 system - with all the bells and whistles. At the time, this was a professional level camera and not generally found in the hands of a child. I took thousands of photographs - much to the delight of our local drug store's photo processing lab. My interest in photography never waned. Today, I use Canon and the Mac for everything. But that F2 still sits on my shelf as a reminder of those simpler times. Now I say "Analog sucks and Digital rules!" But Ahhh, those were the days.....
I attended Harrells Christian Academy (Sampson County) from Kindergarten through 12th grade. I have a BS in Marine Biology from UNCW and a MS in Biology/Ecology from the University of Guam. I went to school in Guam for 4 years - coming home every Christmas and summer. My capabilities as a graphic designer developed while I pursued a career in biology. Many of my friends in Guam are artists or designers and their guidance and encouragement further sparked this interest. I truly enjoyed my time spent in Guam but there is no place like being home in North Carolina.

Because your daughter may look different from her peers, she may find it sometimes difficult to cope with having Turner syndrome. You as a parent also may have difficulties coping. You'll likely have many concerns about your daughter's health, social interactions, friendships, education and general well-being.
The Turner Syndrome Society of the United States and other organizations provide educational materials, resources for families and information about support groups. Groups for parents provide an opportunity to exchange ideas, develop coping strategies and locate resources. Peer groups for girls with Turner syndrome can help reinforce your daughter's self-esteem and provide her with a social network of people who understand her experience with Turner syndrome.
