Following are some whispers that we've been hearing from around the AFC:
• While it is hard to quantify what the absence of defensive coordinator Wade Phillips has meant to the Texans, who have lost two straight after reeling off a franchise-best seven wins, one source in Houston took a stab. "Cam [Newton] might have drove down the field (during the fourth quarter in Week 15) on them, but I don't think (Colts QB Dan) Orlovsky gets it done with Phillips on hand," he said. Phillips returned to practice this week following surgery on his kidney and gall bladder.
• Outside of rookie DT Karl Klug, the Titans have not had a consistent threat to rush the passer this season. DLE Derrick Morgan has begun to flash, but DRE Jason Jones, a converted tackle, has been a disappointment, we hear. "The move flat-out hasn't worked," said a daily team observer. A free agent after the season, Jones is unlikely to receive more than a one-year offer from the Titans.
• Colts vice chairman Bill Polian has said this season that he is happy with the team's depth at the safety position. With SS Melvin Bullitt having been lost for the season in Week One, first-year player David Caldwell has stepped into the starting lineup. "Caldwell has been up and down," said a daily team observer. "He can't catch a cold, though. He leads the team in passes defensed, but he has cost the Colts a few victories with those hands of stone."
• Say what you will about the job Polian has done this season, but you can't say that he hasn't taken his lumps publicly. Polian has shown a lot more humility than usual, admitting certain gaffes of his own making when constructing the roster.
• Patriots third-year ORT Sebastian Vollmer has had an injury-plagued season. He played in one game in the first seven weeks, then started Weeks Nine through 12 but has not played since. Earlier in the season, it was his back, but now a foot injury is keeping Vollmer out. Considering he has not been placed on injured reserve, we hear that the team still hopes he will return, maybe even late in the playoffs, provided the Patriots advance. A first-round bye gives Vollmer more time to rest. His return would help the running game, as it would allow the Patriots to use Nate Solder as a blocking tight end more often.
• Bills second-year DT Torell Troup played in 15 games as a rookie but could not stay healthy this season. He eventually went on injured reserve and had back surgery, but hopes are high for him next season. "He got off to a nice start in training camp, and I really thought he was going to make a giant leap in his sophomore season," Bills defensive line coach Giff Smith told PFW. "Unfortunately it didn't pan out that way because of injuries. I think his upside is tremendous. I think he's going to be the healthiest he has been since his sophomore or junior year of college."
• One of the new faces on the Dolphins' offensive coaching staff this season is Ike Hilliard. Three years removed from his final season playing, Hilliard coaches the wide receivers. "He's definitely a crutch that I lean on in that room," Dolphins WR Brian Hartline told PFW. "I like picking his brain and seeing what he has to offer. He's an intricate part to that wide receiver room. As far as coaching goes, he'll be a huge success in this league."
• To say that it's been a struggle for Ravens WR Lee Evans in his first season in Baltimore might be an understatement. He missed seven games with an ankle injury, and he's failed to make any real impact whatsoever in the passing game. To wit: Evans has just four catches — but he's been thrown to 25 times. Speaking to Baltimore reporters leading up to Week 17, QB Joe Flacco said he was working with Evans to strengthen their on-field connection. Said Flacco: "He's going to be someone that we need down the road in order to be successful."
• The Steelers' top three reserve quarterbacks — Byron Leftwich, Charlie Batch and Dennis Dixon — are free agents at season's end. It wouldn't be surprising in the least if Dixon, who showed promise earlier in his career, tested the market; the Steelers obviously have a long-term starting quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger, and Dixon has played behind Batch this season.
• Browns head coach Pat Shurmur had the following to say about the prospect of RB Peyton Hillis being back in 2012 — and whether this season would affect the Browns' decision making on the matter: "I think those are all conversations for the offseason. I've said it all the way back to the first part of the season, he's a very fine player that was dealing with injury this year, a couple of them. It was an illness early and then a hamstring in the middle. ... Now that he's healthy, we're seeing production."
• Considered a Pro Bowl candidate earlier in the season, Raiders OLT Jared Veldheer has seen his play tail off a bit down the stretch. He has committed 10 penalties on the season and been beaten by some talented pass rushers — especially Bears DE Julius Peppers — late in the year. Still, the team is high on his potential, and a team insider said he wouldn't be surprised if Veldheer is sent to Hawaii to end a season at some point in his career.
• Just three years after he was the last pick in the 2009 NFL draft, PK Ryan Succop was rewarded with a five-year, $14 million extension from the Chiefs. Succop has improved his consistency throughout his career, as evidenced by the 22 consecutive field goals he made this season, tying a team record. His range has also increased, as he has made 10-of-14 field goals from 40 yards or longer in 2011.
• The Chargers may be in the market for a new center. Nick Hardwick, who becomes a free agent following the season, is considering retirement, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. We hear that the team would be open to the 30-year-old returning in 2012, if he is interested in playing.
• Injuries in the Broncos' secondary have increased the playing time for David Bruton. The third-year safety has mainly contributed on punt coverage during the season. During Week 16 vs. the Bills, however, he played in place of the injured Brian Dawkins and posted a season-high five tackles, along with a tackle for loss and a pass defensed.

Three people, including a woman who is eight months pregnant, are still in the hospital following an apparent tornado in rural Beaufort County.
Beaufort County Emergency Management Director John Pack said Tuesday morning that no one suffered serious injuries from the storm that destroyed two houses and significantly damaged six other homes on Monday afternoon.
The National Weather Service says video of the storm indicates a tornado touched down near Belhaven. Weather Service officials planned to visit the area Tuesday to try and confirm the tornado strike and its path, length and force.
The woman and her family live in one of the houses that were destroyed, Pack said. They were saved because her husband saw the approaching storm and got them all out of the house, running to a nearby ditch for safety.
The woman was taken to Vidant Medical Center in Greenville because she had equipment in her home that was monitoring her pregnancy. Pack said the woman is all right but will remain in the hospital until new equipment can be installed.
A total of five people suffered injuries during the storm. The Red Cross has been providing aid to those displaced by the storm and Pack said that all of the people whose homes were damaged or destroyed are with friends and family.
Power had been restored by 10 p.m. Monday to all customers but that power crews remain in the area to continue working on the power lines, Pack said.

He just posted it on his Facebook page saying him fighting Roberto is just a rumor....thank god, I have been waiting for some words from him for the longest! I am never paying any attention to who is he going to fight unless he himself announces it.
However I believe we will know the name soon as January closes down and if he is to fight on May 4th, his training camp and promotion should commence at the end of February or maybe even sooner. I think I'll be as surprised as when he announced hes fighting Ortiz. Didn't see that one coming!
Can you think of any other unlikely names that could end up in the mix?

Brook DESTROYING Alexander? Really?...
I doubt it. Brook doesn't have a big US fanbase, and i dont think beating Alexander ( IF he beats alexander which i can't see happening) will do much for him besides making him a world champion. May 4, Floyd wouldve had a year gap (including a two month incarceration) since he last fought. I doubt he will have a 2 month training camp. If anything I'd expect him to train 3 months. I already seen a recent picture of him in the gym wearing training equipment with Ishe Smith. Also he has trained in Miami with J'leon love recently. IF brook were to fight loyd, it would have to be in may.
Honestly, what welterweight will give Floyd a tough fight?...Floyd would thoroughly make any fight at welter an EASY pretty fight.
I think it will be Canelo in september. It just makes so much sense. Its mexican independence day, Canelo-Mayweather is the highest grossing fight waiting to happen in boxing right now. He's a GB fighter. He's a WBC titlist. And Canelo/Trout are most likely Fighting May 4. And ok Mayweather can fight any time of the year but lets be logical, May and September are his signature times. The last time he fought on another month was against hatton 6 years ago. And he SAID himself hes returning in may then september. Mayweather's not looking to do decent numbers. He's looking to break records and raise his stock as much as possible before retirement. We're looking way to deep into this. I ASKED SAM WATSON MYSELF at the weighin of Cotto-Trout and he told me Mayweather will fight Canelo the end of next year. Now why would floyd fight in the fourth quarter of next year against a mexican (considering canelo wins) on any month BESIDES september?
Canelo is going on Floyds undercard for a FACT because he helps Floyd's PPV numbers, and it just builds the suspense for their fight. I mean Canelo's been figthing on Mayweather cards for 3 years now, and at this point he doesnt even have to, nor does he want to. If Trout doesnt get the W over canelo (WHICH I THINK HE WILL AND FUCK ALL OF GBP PLANS UP) we WILL see mayweather Canelo in september. And look at it this way, floyd is taking a tuneup bout at welterweight. Perhaps he's not figthing at JMW because hes trying his best to preserve/test his body at 147 until September when he in fact DOES fight a JMW.
Now If Canelo loses to Trout in may (Which i think he will)? Thats a GREAT QUESTION. Canelo is fishing for Trout, Trout wants to show how seasoned he is against canelo (Corny but i tried lol). De La Hoya and Schafer are SCARED. They're SHAKING IN THEIR BOOTS. Trout is a Haymon fighter so he definitely has big things in store for him. And he practically has HBO on his side being with Haymon. But it looks like this is a risk GBP is going to have to take. Unless they put Canelo against Cotto which would be a bitchass move. That would be FOUL, but thats boxing... But if Canelo indeed loses in May (against trout IF they do fight which i think they will) then Haymon will have to sacrifice a fighter.. and we will see the quality of Floyd's integrity depending on the decision he makes for september 14th..
THE REAL QUESITON IS WHO WILL FLOYD FIGHT ON MAY 4? Thats the mystery..
Brook has a huge UK fan base, forget the US fan base, and as far as Garcia goes please, he might not even get past Lucas.
If Canelo fights Cotto in May, he can possibly lose. Mayweather-Cotto 2 has been something thats been talked about since their first fight. And Miguel will always bring a heavy fanbase. I think a Canelo-Cotto fight is the only way in which Mayweather will be in a win-win situation. But thats not the reality of the situation. Right now Canelo WANTS Trout and Trout WANTS Canelo. GBP doesnt want that at all. And if Trout wins, i doubt Floyd will want Trout considering his style/size. And Haymon definitely wont want his young cahmpion to lose to a soon to retire future Hall Of Famer.
He can beat cotto, trout is another animal all together. But I think they will go with trout, because trout more than likely won't ko him and let's face it no way Canelo loses on the cards.
Plus red himself said no one but trout was being considered for his match up

Make Part-Time Work
Part-time or reduced hours, if used effectively, can be an important part of an organization's overall flexible work strategy. It can attract and retain valuable talent that is unable or no longer wants to work full-time.
But the effective use of part-time or reduced hours brings unique challenges, especially in an economic environment where everyone is being asked to do more with less.
With telework and flexible hours, people work differently, not less. The time available to get the job done is the same; whereas, with part-time or a reduced schedule, work responsibilities must be redistributed.
These challenges, although real, don't have to keep an organization from offering reduced schedules as an option, as long as the formal flexibility process addresses how to:
- Reduce the workload and redistribute it fairly to already overburdened colleagues.
- Communicate effectively to ensure work gets done.
- Handle issues related to compensation, benefits, head count and FTEs.
- Continue to advance along a realistic career path, albeit at a slower pace.
- Deal with transitioning employees back to full-time, when circumstances change.
- Go the extra mile when needed, and be flexible with the flexibility.

Double the Peace Corps
"Barack Obama will double the Peace Corps to 16,000 by its 50th anniversary in 2011 and push Congress to fully fund this expansion, with a focus on Latin America and the Caribbean."
Subjects: Foreign Policy, Public Service
President's budget continues lower trendline for Peace Corps funding
Updated: Thursday, February 18th, 2010 | By Louis Jacobson
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to double the size of the Peace Corps to 16,000 by its 50th anniversary in 2011. But while the president's proposed fiscal year 2011 budget would increase the amount of money devoted to the Peace Corps, the amount envisioned is too low to reach Obama's original goal by 2011.
That's not to say that Obama has forsaken the Peace Corps in his proposed budget. His 2011 budget would allocate $446 million for the Peace Corps -- up more than 10 percent from the $400 million the corps had in fiscal year 2010 and up by about one-third from the $340 million it had in fiscal year 2009.
The administration said in its budget proposal that the amount allocated for 2011 would put the Peace Corps "on track" to reach 11,000 volunteers by 2016. So, rather than reaching 16,000 volunteers in two years, the Peace Corps would be on pace to reach 5,000 fewer than that in seven years.
When we last rated this promise in June 2009, supporters of the Peace Corps said they were lobbying lawmakers to do an end run around the administration and increase the funding on their own. For fiscal year 2010, that effort bore some fruit, as Congress upped the amount from what the president had proposed -- $373 million -- to the $400 million ultimately appropriated.
Meanwhile, bills in the House and Senate would increase funding at faster rates than the administration is seeking. The Peace Corps Expansion Act of 2009 (H.R. 1066), sponsored by Rep. Sam Farr, D-Calif., has 132 co-sponsors. The bill would provide $600 million for fiscal year 2011 and $750 million for fiscal year 2012. The Peace Corps Improvement and Expansion Act of 2009 (S. 1382), sponsored by Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., has 14 co-sponsors. It would provide $575 million for fiscal year 2011 and $700 million for fiscal year 2012.
So, it's still conceivable that Congress could act to provide the funding required to meet Obama's original promise. But the amount needed to meet that goal is substantial, and Congress has only one appropriations cycle to meet it. The administration itself is not proposing anywhere near enough to make its promise a reality, so we're shifting our rating from Stalled to Promise Broken.

Obama's budget doesn't pump up funding for Peace Corps, but Congress might
Updated: Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 | By Angie Drobnic Holan
If President Barack Obama's 2010 budget is any indication, he is backing off his promise to double the Peace Corps to 16,000 volunteers by 2011.
The budget increases funding slightly, but its volunteer goals are notably scaled back. The budget calls for "9,000
Americans enrolled in the Peace Corps by the end of FY 2012 and 11,000 by the end of FY 2016." At that pace, Obama will not meet the terms of his promise.
Peace Corps members live and work in developing countries. The program's stated goals are diplomacy and providing technical expertise to host countries. Typical projects include counseling teenagers in Belize, promoting AIDS awareness in Malawi, or teaching high school chemistry in Ghana. President John F. Kennedy signed the executive order that created the Peace Corps, and it reached its highest volunteer level in 1966, with 15,000 people.
We're not rating this Promise Broken, though: supporters of the Peace Corps are trying to get increased funding passed through Congress, and they're optimistic that if Congress approves the funding, Obama will ultimately support a substantial increase in volunteers.
"We think part of the job is ours, to show there are people out there who believe this is important to our community," said Jonathan Pearson, the advocacy coordinator for the National Peace Corps Association, which is leading the effort. Pearson was a volunteer in Micronesia in 1987.
The association is not part of the official Peace Corps, but rather a nonprofit that advocates for the Peace Corps and connects its former volunteers. It launched a " More Peace Corps " campaign 18 months ago to raise awareness and build support for an expanded Peace Corps.
Obama's budget calls for $376 million in fiscal year 2010. Legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives increases that to $450 million. That amount survived an appropriations subcommittee markup on June 17, 2009. It still needs to be passed out of the House and then approved by the Senate before it would land on Obama's desk.
Pearson said the $450 million would be a "robust step forward." The Peace Corps would need about $750 million to double its size, though costs vary based on expenses.
If Congress ends up approving additional funding and Obama signs the measure, we can envision rating this Promise Kept. But Obama's budget documents flatly contradict his promise of 16,000 volunteers by 2010. Because of that, for now we're rating this promise Stalled.

The Tampa Bay Rays may have been on the road in Toronto, but thy greeted two of the Tampa Bay Lightning prospects in attendance with open arms. Rays manager Joe Maddon gave Lightning prospects Carter Ashton and Brett Connolly their own Tampa Bay Rays caps, and talked with them on field before Monday night's Rays / TorontoBlue Jays game at Rogers Center.
Cork Gaines over at Rays Index has a story up today about Tampa Bya. Literally and figuratively. It's inspired by the fact the Rays wore throwback "Tampa Tarpons" jersey's last week... It all has to do with the metro-area team name usage in pro sports. Just who first used "Tampa Bay" to describe a sports team's home town? Lots of history, and some examples of how certain cities have long been against the fact "Tampa" is highlighted in the regional name.
Join sports fans and SB Nation regulars for a meet up on Wednesday, June 23rd at the Tampa Bay Brewing Co. Enjoy $1 off drafts and wells while mixing it up with regulars from around SB Nation's...

JPD Capt. Dennis Corbell said the recent increase in traffic patrols was conducted between Aug. 17 and Sept. 3. Besides its regular traffic patrol officers, JPD had three officers who worked 118 hours overtime on nothing but traffic.
According to Corbell, the officers assisted 10 motorists and issued a total of 297 tickets. Only three of the tickets were for driving under the influence, 21 were for seatbelt violations, and the rest were for speeding and other traffic violations.
Corbell said JPD will use the data collected during this recent increase in traffic enforcement patrol to apply for a grant in October from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs.
"These grants help us offset the cost of salaries for the officers who work overtime during our increased traffic patrols," Corbell said. "We conduct the increased traffic patrols to improve traffic safety within our department's police jurisdiction, and the number of violations that are reported provide the department with some vital information."
Corbell said even though these increases in traffic patrol aren't popular with some residents, it is still the Jasper Police Department's job to keep the roads safe.
"When we do these increased patrols, we do our best to target areas where we've received a number of complaints about either the speeding and/or DUIs," Corbell said. "But we also cover other traffic violations as well."
Corbell said there were no official statistics, but he believes a majority of the motor vehicle accidents police officers work these days could be attributed to a driver who was following too close.
"People don't realize how dangerous that can be, especially when its raining," Corbell said. "All we're asking is that folks slow down and leave plenty of room between their vehicle and the one in front of them."

---- — CHAMPLAIN — A Colorado fugitive wanted for failure to appear on marijuana distribution charges was arrested July 9.
Joseph B. Upshaw, 24, of Colorado Springs, Colo., was wanted out of the El Paso County Sherriff's Department in Colorado, Chazy State Police said.
After being deported out of Canada, Upshaw was picked up at the Champlain Port of Entry, and U.S. Marshals turned him over to State Police, police said.
He was arraigned before the Town of Champlain Court and is now held at Clinton County Jail, pending a county court hearing, as the extradition is still pending, police said.
No further information was available.

Driver Arrested In Sioux Falls Hit and Run
What began as a report of a car-pedestrian crash turned into an assault case in Sioux Falls on Tuesday evening.
Police say they were called at 7:19 p.m. to the 400 block of West 12th Street, but while they were en route they learned the vehicle driver may have struck the pedestrian on purpose.
The suspect was gone, but police say he turned himself in at the front desk of the Law Enforcement Center.
Police say the driver was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and aggravated assault, but his name has not been released.
The pedestrian was taken to a hospital with injuries police describe as serious.

For like three years now, Florida's offense has been a thing of evolving and contrasting mysteries. What is it that they do? It's different from what they did last week, and definitely different from what they did last year, but nobody yet knows what it is that it is. This trend may be continuing, as of the game going on right now.
Against a fired-up Tennessee defense, drowning in noise and backed up against the checkerboard, going for a little bit of devilry right away did not work:
It's not that it couldn't have worked, it's just that it totally didn't. That sentence explains Florida's offense over the past three years, I feel.

Bundy's death was accident - coroner says
8:00am Thursday 16th January 2014 in News
THE death of Alan 'Bundy' Clare who fell from a balcony in Spain has been ruled as an accident.
Dr Nicholas Rheinberg delivered the verdict at Warrington Coroner's Court on Friday.
He said: "At approximately 2.45am on September 6 last year, the lifeless body of Alan Stephen Clare was found at the hotel Los Dalmatas in Benidorm.
"An investigation has revealed he sustained injuries consistent with a fall from a height.
"The injuries have proved fatal."
As revealed in the Warrington Guardian, Mr Clare, aged 34, of Cabul Close, Orford, had been on a stag do when he fell from the 14th floor of the hotel.
Friends had described him laughing and joking on the day he died, having a 'brilliant day'.
The town rallied round to raise more than £22,000 in a matter of days for repatriation of the body.
A minute's applause was heard at the Halliwell Jones Stadium before Warrington Wolves clash with Leeds Rhinos on September 14 last year.
The former Cardinal Newman High School pupil's body was returned four days later.
Fundraising was headed by amateur rugby league club Bank Quay Bulls, where Mr Clare played for 15 years.
Seven defibrillators, costing around £6,000, have been bought with money raised in his memory, and donated to Bank Quay Bulls, and six other amateur clubs in the town.
Parents Alan Clare and Carol Andrew made the donation on behalf of their son at Bank Quay Social Club in November last year.
A van driver for AAH Pharmaceuticals on Woburn Road, Mr Clare was a popular man in Warrington.
Following his death many tributes were left in his memory.
Friends described him as a 'gentleman that would do anything for anyone'.
Officials at Cardinal Newman High School, Bridgewater Avenue, Latchford, said he was a 'happy and outgoing pupil' who made 'a positive contribution' to the school.
The funeral of the Kings of Leon fan and music festival lover happened at a packed St Elphin's Church on October 3.

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby. Sudden infant death syndrome is sometimes called crib death.
The exact cause is unknown, but sudden infant death syndrome may be associated with abnormalities in the portion of an infant's brain that controls breathing and arousal from sleep. Although all babies are vulnerable, certain sleep environments have been linked to increased risk.
Perhaps the most important way to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome is to place your baby on his or her back to sleep, on a firm crib mattress covered by a fitted sheet. Nothing else should go in the crib with your baby — no blanket, pillow, bumper pads or toys.
A combination of physical and sleep environmental factors can make an infant more vulnerable to SIDS. These factors may vary from child to child.
Physical factors
Physical factors associated with SIDS include:
Sleep environmental factors
The items in a baby's crib and his or her sleeping position can combine with a baby's physical problems to increase the risk of SIDS. Examples include:
Although sudden infant death syndrome can strike any infant, researchers have identified several factors that may increase a baby's risk. They include:
Maternal risk factors
The risk of SIDS is also affected by maternal factors associated with the pregnancy, including:
When you lose your baby to SIDS, the emotional support of others is especially important. You may find it comforting to talk to other parents whose lives have been touched by SIDS. If so, your doctor may be able to recommend a support group in your area, or you can visit an online SIDS chat room. Talking to a trusted friend, counselor or member of the clergy may also be helpful.
Communicate your feelings
If you can, keep an open line of communication with friends and family about how you're feeling. People want to help, but they may not know how to approach you. The baby's parents, especially, need to be as open as possible with one another. Losing a child can put a terrible strain on a marriage. Counseling may help some couples understand and express their feelings.
Allow time for healing
Finally, give yourself time to grieve. Don't worry if you find yourself crying unexpectedly, if holidays and other celebratory times are especially difficult, or if you're tired and drained much of the time. This is normal. You're dealing with a devastating loss. Healing takes time.
There's no guaranteed way to prevent SIDS, but the following measures will go a long way toward preventing it.

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion seeks to create an environment that allows students to cultivate a curiosity and appreciation of human differences. Earlham's Diversity Aspiration Statement (pdf) emphasizes our efforts as a learning community "to create social justice" and "to treat all humans with respect, honoring human dignity."

The office collaborates with other programs and departments to to explore differences present in our community and beyond and integrate diversity into the fabric of the campus community. Through formal and informal educational programs, the office encourages students to reflect on and learn about the complex set of issues that facilitates and/or impedes social justice.

Lee Nguyen scored two goals and added an assist against former team as the New England Revolution registered arguably their biggest win of the season, 4-1 over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday. Despite the lop-sided score, the Revolution actually had to overcome an early deficit, as Eric Hassli scored his second goal of the season just four minutes in.
But Nguyen equalized just two minutes later, pouncing on a loose ball in the box and scoring his first goal of the season. Nguyen that set up Saer Sane's go-ahead goal in the 24th minute. The Revolution led 3-1 by halftime, following Shalrie Joseph's first goal of the season.
The highlight of the evening came in the 72nd minute. Nguyen took a throw-in deep in the Whitecaps' end, quickly controlled it and fired a shot from about 25 yards out that easily beat Whitecaps goalkeeper Joe Cannon to the far post.
Not only was it the Revolution's first three-goal victory since April 10, 2010, but it was also a bit of a revenge game for Nguyen, who had been cut by the Whitecaps during the offseason before making an appearance. Nguyen has since established himself as a starter in New England, but had yet to have anything close to the breakout performance he had in this game.
The Whitecaps, who entered the game with the third fewest goals allowed in MLS, were clearly missing center back Jay DeMerit, who did not play.

Luncheon (Le Déjeuner)
Oil on canvas
Inv. No. SG 170
232 × 151 cm
This scene is set in Étretat in the house of a patron, where Monet had taken refuge from his Parisian creditors and critics. Now he sought to make a fresh beginning and was enjoying the life of a family man. He portrayed his companion Camille and little Jean many times. The sources confirm that the family was in the custom of gathering for an abundant luncheon at noon. There is company, and now everyone is waiting for the painter who has been working at his easel since sunrise. The large, monumentalizing format is unusual for a subject so personal. Monet submitted the work to the Paris Salon in 1870, but it was rejected. Nevertheless, he continued to identify with this painting and showed it in 1874 at the Impressionists' first joint exhibition in the studio of a friend, the photographer Nadar. There the critics were fascinated with the "modern light in the curtains". The story of the Déjeuner's success had thus been launched, and it earned approval at many an exhibition before being purchased for the Städel in 1910. By then, Monet had long since turned away from figural painting and devoted himself to nature as his main artistic concern.

Cherries vent anger after dugout is smashed (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

SWINDON TOWN: Cherries vent anger after dugout is smashed
6:00am Monday 14th January 2013 in Sport
A TWITTER war broke out over the weekend between fans of Swindon Town and Bournemouth after a picture of the broken away dugout at Dean Court circulated on the social networking site.
The snap, taken by Advertiser chief sports writer Sam Morshead, showed minor damage to a Perspex wall and Cherries fans were quick to blame Town manager Paolo Di Canio for the breakage.
Comments ranged from "likely your buffoon of a manger, that's just pure disrespect to our club!" and "I do hope Mr Di Canio is paying for that... see this @FA - Unacceptable!" to "this should be report to Dorset police and the fa #afcb"
Bournemouth chairman Eddie Mitchell, meanwhile, told the Bournemouth Echo that the Cherries would be pursuing Swindon following the incident.
However, it appears those fans who blamed Di Canio were too quick to point the finger at the Italian, as the Adver understands the damage was accidentally caused by goalkeeping coach Domenico Duardo during the celebrations of Andy Williams' late equaliser for the Robins.
The two clubs are expected to sort out the issue. In the meantime, maybe we should all retain a little Perspextive.

UW-Stout offers innovative, career-focused degrees based on active learning, applied theory and research.
Get Your Hands on Your Future
UW-Stout offers innovative, career-focused degrees based on active learning, applied theory and research.
Art and design are creative endeavors that communicate to the viewer in myriad ways. Both often mirror the culture that created them, and thus the forms of these expressions may be able to transcend the conext of their making to describe or explain an entire world outside of our own experiences. The artist and the designer often share the ability to visually articulate cultural values, ideals for social change and individual conceptions of what it means to be human. The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at UW-Stout prepares graduates for careers as professional artists and designers.
The curriculum is based on foundation courses in general education and the visual arts, including mathematics, social sciences, humanities (including art history), drawing and design. Students in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program may opt to pursue advanced studies in the studio arts emphases of ceramics, drawing, metals, painting, printmaking and sculpture; or a concentration in graphic design, industrial design, interior design or multimedia design. Regardless of emphasis or concentration, students in the program engage in a curriculum which is grounded in the fine arts, which values the critical and perceptual dynamics of art-making, the relevance of art history to contemporary art and design, and the analytical principles of aesthetics. A minimum grade of C (2.0) is required for all courses.
The art minor is a flexible program that develops knowledge and sensitivity in the visual arts that will enhance the education of students in non-art majors. A minimum of six credits must be completed at UW-Stout to receive an art minor. A minimum grade of C (2.0) is required for all courses. Students can choose a General or Concentrated plan for this minor. After selecting the desired plan for this minor, one must apply using the Art Minor Program Plan and submit it to the Art and Design Office, room 235 of the Applied Arts Building for initial approval of the program plan.
The MFA in Design is a 60 credit terminal degree built on inter-disciplinary coursework in Art and Design with a unique focus in Applied Design.

DALLAS -- Dallas ISD is dealing with a new resignation from the top.
The district's chief of staff stepped down Thursday.

We usually receive our vinyl chair mats in a rolled up condition due to which they take on a memory which means then when you roll out the mat you will find it difficult to keep it flat and may even crack if any creases had formed due to rolling. This often happens in cold weathers. If you receive chair floor mats in cold weather ensure that the temperature of the mat becomes better or it becomes a little warmer before unrolling and the first time place it with the bow up and place some weight on it; the shape will become alright after a few hours. Since vinyl is more flexible with heat the higher the temperature the easier it is to handle your vinyl chair mats.
If not placing your chair mats for carpet for use with a chair but at another location then ensure that it does not come in the way of people as anybody can easily trip. You can also ruin you mat this way since dirt from people's shoes and continuous walking on it will damage it fast. No manufacturer warranties against slippage if used inappropriately. However you can choose an alternative material if there is frequent slippage. Accidents can also be prevented if spills are cleaned immediately and not allowed to dry or become slippery. You should never use floor mats in areas that are often wet say bathrooms. This can prove very dangerous.

Bodies found in UK-registered car
8:08pm Wednesday 5th September 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Three people have been found dead in a British-registered car in the French Alps after a shooting which also left a young girl fighting for life, it has been reported.
The Foreign Office said it was aware of the shooting in the Haute-Savoie region, in which a cyclist is also thought to have died.
Reports said the injured girl, aged between five and eight, was gravely ill in hospital in the city of Grenoble after being found wounded on a road near the village of Chevaline.
Initial reports suggested the girl had also died, but a French prosecutor has said she is in a critical condition in intensive care.
Three of the bodies were discovered in a BMW in a car park near a forest on Wednesday afternoon, according to French authorities, who said the cyclist's body was lying nearby.
A Foreign Office spokesman: "We are aware of the reports of the shooting and we are looking into these urgently."
The website of local newspaper Le Dauphine Libere said the bodies were found near Lake Annecy. The occupants of the car were a man, in the front seat, and two women found in the back seats.
Sixty police officers are on the scene investigating the deaths, according to the newspaper. A large number of bullet cartridges were found at the scene, which has now been sealed off while investigations continue.
According to the official website of the lake, a popular tourist destination, it is known as the "little Venice of the Alps" and is a centre for swimming and watersports.
French journalist Leila Lamnaouer said the grim discovery was made at about 4pm local time. It is not clear if the deceased were tourists or if they lived in the area. She said: "A lot of people are coming here to spend holidays and use the lake because we have a beautiful landscape. A lot of English people live here near Annecy because they love the place."

(CNN) – It's the Fourth of July and that means fireworks, picnics and feats of food!
The annual Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest crowned Joey "Jaws" Chestnut its champion for the eighth straight year Friday. The top-ranked competitive eater earned the Mustard Belt by downing 61 dogs and buns in 10 minutes before a patriotic crowd chanting, "U.S.A.! U.S.A.!"
Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas failed to notch her fourth consecutive title in the women's competition. Miki Sudo won the day by polishing off 34, compared to Thomas' 27 3/4.
Thomas set the woman's record at 45 a year ago. Chestnut also fell short of his record-setting tally of 69, which he managed in 2013.
Matt Stonie was again the runner-up in the men's field but topped his total of 51 from a year ago with 56.
The yearly Independence Day gathering took place at New York's Coney Island Amusement Park, and the event aired live on ESPN News.

Senegal is a partner country of Belgian cooperation. The cooperation between Belgium and Senegal started on 1 July 1968.
Senegal is a relatively stable democratic republic in West Africa, but the country remains one of the poorest in the world (166th in the Human Development Index 2009 of the UNDP).
Almost 60% of rural households live in poverty. The regions of Kaolack, Diourbel, Fatick and Kaffrine, commonly known as the groundnut basin, are among the regions most affected by poverty. This is where Belgian cooperation is concentrating its activities.
BTC is active in two important sectors: The sector of water and sanitation, on the one hand, and the sector of health, on the other hand.
Water and sanitation
Senegal has developed a national Millennium Drinking Water and Sanitation Programme (PEPAM). The objective is to reach a drinking water coverage rate of 82% on the countryside by 2015 (compared to 64% in 2004).
The action of BTC in the groundnut basin is aligned with this Senegalese programme. It aims at constructing, rehabilitating and equipping wells on the countryside as well as improving and strengthening water points. All together, not less than 84 wells will be constructed, which will be managed by 83 well users associations (ASUFOR) that reach more than 500 villages. This way, 420 000 people will, for a first time, have direct access to drinking water.
The sanitation part in the groundnut basin will lead to the construction of 100 public lavatories and 3,000 family latrines, which will contribute to improving sanitation for 30,000 people.
Health care
In the field of health care, BTC supports the Ministry of Health and Medical Prevention in implementing the National Sanitation Development Plan, in particular with regards to the underuse of the healthcare services noticed in the groundnut basin.
The objective of the actions is twofold: On the one hand, guarantee easy access to health care to the two million inhabitants of the three intervention zones. This will be done in particular through rehabilitation of the basic healthcare structures (meet standards of healthcare stations again), the extension of services supplied by the first level of reference (district hospitals) and the broadening of sickness risk coverage (health insurance).
On the other hand, Belgian-Senegalese cooperation wants to improve the quality of health care at the operational, planning and organisational levels.
These activities in the groundnut basin have to contribute to developing public healthcare strategies in other regions of the country.

SALEM — With designs for the MBTA's parking garage and train station nearing completion, a meeting to update the public on the project will be held next week.
The MBTA is designing a 714-space garage as part of a $37 million upgrade to the station. MBTA officials will give an update on the project and answer questions Wednesday, June 19, at 6:30 p.m. at Bentley School.
The meeting is one of many public forums the MBTA has hosted about the project in Salem. Officials will give updates on the "90 percent design" — which means the project's design is nearly finished — as well as the construction schedule and parking lot closures.
The T is planning to build a five-story parking garage to replace the current surface lot, which holds 344 cars.
The new station will have a covered pedestrian walkway from Bridge Street, as well as upgrades to seating, lighting, signage systems and landscaping.
The new facility is slated to be complete by the fall of 2014. For full details on the project, go to www.mbta.com (click on "about the MBTA," then "T projects" and scroll down to the Salem station link).
When: Wednesday, June 19, 6:30 p.m.
Where: Bentley Elementary School, 25 Memorial Drive, Salem
What: Public update on the new garage and station's design, construction schedule and parking lot closure.

Colby Walden Reflects on His Experience with the Washington Redskins Rookie Camp
Former Dolphins standout looks to extend his career into the professional ranks
This past weekend was one that Jacksonville University's Colby Walden (Tampa, Fla.) will not soon forget. The former Dolphins corner back & kick returner spent three days working out for the Washington Redskins as one of the 48-players invited to the organization's rookie camp in Ashburn, Va.
JUDolphins.com recently caught up with the former All-American:
What was your overall reaction to the experience?
"As expected they had some impressive facilities. Overall I thought the structural part of the workouts would be a lot different, but it really wasn't that different from what I experienced in college. Expect now you are dealing with the money and business side of it."
What type of workouts did they have you perform?
"Raheem Morris, their defensive backs coach, took us through a few drills I haven't done before. Over the course of the three days they were very helpful and allowed me to take my corner skills to a whole other level."
How do you feel your performance was?
"I just tried to go out there and give everything I had physically. The first day wasn't that great since everyone was struggling with the new plays and systems. On the second day everything got faster and I was able to start adjusting and getting better. By Sunday it was full go. I had more confidence and could play with a little more swagger which allowed me to show them my full athletic ability."
What was the biggest surprise for you?
"Running into RG3. I was just sitting there filling out paperwork and I looked up and there he was. It didn't really hit me until then that we were in the same facility that he works out in everyday. That's when I realized what a special opportunity this was to be here and working out for the Washington Redskins."
"He looked pretty good, almost like he had never been injured. I'm not scared to race anyone so I wish he was back to 100% because I wanted to challenge him to a 40-yard dash. I think with his injury I would have been able to get him this weekend but I'd love to get the change to go toe-to-toe with him at any time."
What is next for you?
"Now I just wait and hopefully get that call. They seemed interested and I felt like I performed pretty well. If not my agent working for me to help get another team and work out for. The key thing now that I've been to one camp and performed well, people around the profession will start knowing who I am right away. That should help me get a few more opportunities even if something with the Redskins doesn't work out."
