Naples Product Emma Smyser Joins @FGCU_WGolf Team
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Emma Smyser, a product of Naples who spent the 2012-13 season at the University of Florida, will join the FGCU women's golf team as a transfer, head coach Sarah Trew announced Friday.
Smyser – who will be a sophomore – competed in one tournament as a freshman at UF last year, shooting rounds of 82-75 to finish in 25th place at the Florida Challenge. As an amateur, she was a 2013 Women's Southern Amateur First Flight Champion and also reached the match-play portion of the Women's Western Amateur.
"I am very excited to have Emma join the Eagle family," said Trew. "She is a tremendous competitor and a joy to be around as a person; there is no doubt in my mind that she is going to be a positive addition to our roster. Emma has experienced collegiate golf in what I consider to be one of the toughest conferences in our sport, and will bring a tireless work ethic with her. Emma will be a great fit for our program."
Smyser's family moved to Naples when she was 9, and throughout her high school career the Indiana native was a three-time Naples Daily News Golfer of the Year. Smyser was also a four-time all-conference selection while at Gulf Coast High School and played in four straight Florida state championships. In three of those appearances she finished in the top-10, including a second-place showing as a junior after shooting rounds of 73-71.
Additionally, as a junior golfer, Smyser had four top-10 finishes on the American Junior Golf Association, including two top-5s.
Smyser joins seven returning members of the FGCU women's golf team, which had five student-athletes named Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) Division I All-American Scholars last year. Trew enters her third season at the helm of the Green and Blue, who finished last season third at the Atlantic Sun Championship.

Johnson, Lady Bird
The Flying Inauguration of the "Sudden President"
President Kennedy was shot and killed on November 22, 1963, resulting in shock and heartache throughout the nation. During this time, Mrs. Lady Bird Johnson, the Vice President's wife, was riding behind President Kennedy's car and could not believe what was happening around her at that very moment. She felt as though she was viewing a Greek Tragedy but then realized she would have to fulfill a large role that unexpectedly awaited her on that very day as Mr. Johnson was sworn into presidency.

Create a Park! A Place to Play and Plant Flowers
One of Claudia (Lady Bird) Johnson's interests was developing a beautiful environment through cultivating and planting. Developing a park system was one way she could create a beautiful and clean environment for everyone to enjoy. She was so involved in this effort that a park was named in her honor and another park was dedicated to Lady Bird at the island in the Potomac River in Washington D.C. In this lesson, students will explore some of the work involved in establishing and developing a park. Students can use their imagination in planning an imaginary park in their area.

Skateboards: Their Life and Times
Although skateboards were invented before 1960, they were not very popular. The first skateboards consisted of four clay wheels attached to a 4-inch wide piece of lumber. Later, crates were attached to them, with handles for steering. You might say that the first skateboards were scooters rather than the skateboards of today. Skateboards grew in popularity when a few famous surfers in California used them in the early 1960's. Unfortunately, because of the danger involved in early skateboarding, popularity of the sport came to a screeching halt in only two years. This lesson introduces students to the early history of skateboarding and involves poetry in the final product.

Martin Luther King Jr.: Exploring the Purveyor of Peace through Photos
Martin Luther King was a major proponent of the Civil Rights Act, passed in 1965 by President Lyndon Johnson. Many events occurred surrounding this bill, especially events that led to its development. The real question is, "Who was Martin Luther King?" This lesson will involve students learning about the life of Martin Luther King. Students will create a pictorial timeline depicting several important events in Martin Luther King's life.

The Surgeon General Warns of Smoking Effects
In 1963 the U.S. Surgeon General formulated a statement "declaring cigarette smoking to be a health hazard and a major cause of lung cancer and other deadly diseases." Today, the health hazards of tobacco smoke continue to be reinforced and take its toll on millions of people worldwide. President Johnson smoked three packs of cigarettes a day until his first heart attack, which caused him to quit. Smoking was likely a major contributing factor to his death of a second heart attack in 1974. Besides making the user more susceptible to cancer, smoking can cause significant damage to the heart and most other organs. Lady Bird Johnson also smoked. When President Johnson stopped smoking after his first heart attack, he was known for being a very formidable anti-smoking proponent, so much so that when Lady Bird Johnson would light a cigarette, he would take it.

Diary of a First Lady: The Experience of Voice and Text
Lady Bird Johnson, as the wife of the Vice President, was riding in the car immediately behind the President's car when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Like many First Ladies, Lady Bird kept a diary of her experiences. What is different about her diary is that portions of it were initially done with a voice recorder rather than in writing. The voice was then transcribed into written documents, which she then revised. In 1970 she published the diary, "White House Diary" and then in 1981 a film was produced, "The First Lady, A portrait of Lady Bird Johnson." In this lesson, students will have the opportunity to listen to her voice diary (via the Internet), then complete their own week-long diary only using a voice recording device, then transcribing and editing one day of their diary.

Fashion Trends in the 1960s: Hippies, Flower Children, and Design
Fashion cycled once again. This is the decade of the hippie. The 1960's brought many changes to the fashion industry, possibly reflecting the attitudes of the young people who wore the clothing. President and First Lady Johnson would have seen this clothing style all around—you would have to wonder what they thought of the trend, especially since their daughters would have been teenagers at the time. This lesson teaches students about the fashion trends of the 1960's. They will research, draw, and possibly even wear clothing styles of the 1960's.

Vietnam and the Vote
During the time of the Vietnam War men and women were being drafted at the age of 18 but were not permitted to vote until they turned 21. Many protestors and others were asking the question, "We are considered mature enough to die for our country in war, but not mature enough to vote?" It was argued that if a young man could work, pay taxes, and go to war for his country, he ought to have the right to vote for those in the federal, state, and local positions making the decisions about the war and issues about taxes.

Exploring Wildflowers and Plants Through the Wildflower Center
Lady Bird enjoyed flowers as well as being an activist (Beautification Act of 1965) for the environment. In 1982, Lady Bird donated 60 acres and $125,000 for the National Wildflower Research Center. The national membership expanded in time with a total of 7,500 members. The center sponsored events and researched ways to use wild flowers. An idea was conceived to plant wild flowers along the edge of the roadways and highways, which saved millions of dollars annually since the need for mowing and maintenance was decreased.

The War on Poverty: How Far Have We Come?
President Johnson was aware and concerned about the poverty and urban riots during this time period. He declared a "War on Poverty" and created programs such as "Upward Bound" and "Head Start". Lady Bird also focused on the urban issues and her love of children. She became involved and supported the "Head Start" program by visiting classrooms and presenting support speeches. At one point when funding was in jeopardy on the floor of Congress, she intervened to ensure the funding. During this time Lady Bird traveled the U.S. for support to beautify the roads, urban America, and America in general.

Muhammad Ali and the Olympics
The year was 1960; the place, Rome, Italy. Muhammad Ali won the Olympic gold medal in lightweight boxing. While Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson were unknowingly preparing for Presidency, Muhammad Ali was a rising star in the boxing world. This lesson places students in the United States in 1960 using photographs of Muhammad Ali taken at the time. Students will compose newspaper articles about the photographs using their imagination to generate the story. The best article of each student will be compiled into a class newspaper from 1960.

The Texans have reportedly added veteran DB Karl Paymah to their secondary.
The team worked out a host of defensive backs Tuesday, including Al Afalava, Quintin Demps, Victor "Macho" Harris, Chevis Jackson and Paymah, among others, according to an NFL source.
Paymah was originally a third-round pick of the Broncos and spent four seasons in Denver. He played for the Vikings last season and worked with the 49ers in training camp this season before being cut in the final roster cutdown on Sept. 4.
Also on Tuesday, the Texans worked out ex-Bills DE Aaron Schobel, who was believed to be retired. Schobel and the Texans, however, weren't able to agree to terms on a contract.
Schobel was unhappy with the Bills' decision to switch to a 3-4 defense and held out this past offseason. He was released on Aug. 4. In nine seasons with the Bills, Schobel recorded 78 sacks.
The way we see it
The Texans' secondary has been the worst in the league through three games, and Paymah gives the team another option on the back end.
As for Schobel, the Texans tried to sign him after he was released by the Bills. The Texas native has played for Texans assistant head coach/DL coach Bill Kollar in the past and would be a nice fit for a defense that will be without Connor Barwin (ankle) for the remainder of the season.
Getting a consistent pass rush from someone other than Mario Williams has been a concern for the Texans, who have five sacks through three games.

Welcome to the Confederate Legion! We honor and advocate the history, heritage, culture and nationhood of the Ole South and of the Confederacy, in the modern context of our times. However, while we honor the past, we look forward to the future, striving diligently toward a liberated and restored Confederate States of America. Since the surrender and or dispersion of our Confederate Armies in 1865, the Confederate People have been without a defense, having been laid prostrate before an aggressive and hostile foreign invader.
Our nation, the Confederate States of America, remains unto this day under occupation, subjugation and cultural genocide, unable to reconstitute our national armies, for the sake of self-defense. The Confederate Legion therefore seeks to achieve these ends, by using lawful and peaceful methods. In effect reconstituting our Confederate Armies in every respect, short of being armed, which for public purposes is properly defined as a Christian Confederate Ceremonial Honor Guard.
In this regard, we are not a militia nor an armed force, but the Confederate States Army in form! While we have faced many starts and failures over the years, we shall not be denied! The Confederate Cause, by the grace and divine providence of Almighty God, in Christ Jesus, shall be vindicated. Log onboard the Men in Gray for further explanation!.

Good news for Minot residents still working to recover from the 2011 Mouse River Flood.
Starting Monday October 14th, people will have the chance to apply for the second round of funding through the Community Development Block Grant. Homeowners will be able to apply for up to $10,000 Dollars in purchase reimbursements. There are requirements that homeowners must follow, but 51% of the total funds will go to low to moderate incomes, while 49% will go to incomes of any level, the first time this grant will allow that in Minot.
"We still hear from people that still need to maybe finish a bathroom, maybe they've only got one functioning, or they may still need to get sheet rock up in a room, but they've got a majority of the house done, or something like that. They may still need to get their flooring in, they're still on the sub-floor or whatever. There are definitely still people that are out there homes," stated Cindy Hemphill, Financial Director for the City of Minot.
The application can be filled out online at Minotreimb.com. Applications will be available until December 31st. Hemphill expects funds to given out residents March 2014.

Setsuko, second in the 2010 Santa Anita Derby but sidelined since finishing fourth in Grade II American Turf Stakes at Churchill Downs last April 30, is set to return to the races in the Grade I, $250,000 Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita on opening day, Sunday, Dec. 26.
The seven furlong race exclusively for 3-year-olds promises to draw a classy and competitive field, but Richard Mandella feels maiden winner Setsuko deserves the chance.
"He sored up a little bit in his ankles when we took him to Kentucky," the Hall of Fame trainer said of the bay colt by Pleasantly Perfect owned by Wertheimer and Frere. "So I gave him a couple months rest and let him grow up. He's done very well and is training so good I want to try him in the Malibu.
"I wasn't really thinking of doing that until he worked so good (six furlongs at Santa Anita Wednesday in 1:14.20). I think it's time to see what we've got."
Although Setsuko has yet to win a stakes, he has never been off the board in nine starts, earning $243,326. In 58 previous runnings, Mandella has won the Malibu a record four times, with Rock Hard Ten (2004), Dixie Union (2000), Afternoon Deelites (1995) and Oraibi (1988).
Probable for the Malibu: Alcindor, Rafael Bejarano; Caracortado, Joe Talamo; Twirling Candy, Joel Rosario; Noble's Promise, Julien Leparoux; Setsuko, Alex Solis; and Thomas Baines, Martin Pedroza.
MOSS: ZENYATTA DESERVES TO BE HORSE OF THE YEARZenyatta, the great race mare who was retired to be bred at Lane's End Farm in Kentucky after losing by a head to Blame in the Nov. 6 Breeders' Cup Classic despite unleashing her signature last-to-first run, is doing well in her new environment, according to Jerry Moss, who owns the 6-year-old daughter of Street Cry with his wife, Ann.
"She's absolutely doing great," Moss said. "Every report we get is good. She's getting close to the point where they take the shank off her a little bit, which is quite an amazing time. We're hoping to witness it." (A shank is a rope or strap attached to a halter or bridle by which a horse is led).
Zenyetta's first suitor in the breeding shed has not been announced. "We haven't come up with a real decision on that yet that we can talk about," Moss said. "But we're pleased with the progress she's made down there. She seems very happy. We were there for about three days and people couldn't have been nicer, so I'm excited about it."
If Zenyatta is not named Horse of the Year 2010 and finishes second to Blame, it would mark the third straight year she was second in the voting. She was runner-up to Curlin in 2008 and second to Rachel Alexandra last year.
Zenyatta concluded her career with earnings of $7,304,580 and was unbeaten in her first 19 starts, displaying stretch runs that had to be seen to be believed, before losing to Blame in the Classic. If Zenyatta is denied again this year, Moss will remain perpetually perplexed.
"I think she certainly deserves it," he said, "just on class and what she's accomplished. But I really don't like to get into this name-calling and start denigrating other horses. I don't like to do that. I say, 'Congratulations to everybody,' but I think we deserve it, that's all.
"If it doesn't happen, it will be a bit of a travesty. I don't know how you can win the Classic one year and not be Horse of the Year, and miss by six inches the next year and not win it again."
FINISH LINES: Garrett Gomez is closing in on leader Ramon Dominguez in pursuit of his fifth consecutive national money-winning title. Through Dec. 8, Gomez trailed Dominguez by $399,071, $16,998,792 to $16,599,721. Gomez, who turns 39 on Jan. 1, would equal Laffit Pincay Jr.'s money won streak of five consecutive years set from 1970 through 1974, but would fall short of Bill Shoemaker's mark of seven straight years, established from 1958 through 1964 . . . Doug O'Neill, leading trainer at Santa Anita from 2004 through 2007, has 45 horses on hand for the upcoming meet. "I'm lovin' it," O'Neill said, and he wasn't talking about McDonald's. He was speaking of Santa Anita's new traditional dirt main track . . . Track superintendent Richard Tedesco sealed the track Thursday afternoon in anticipation of the possibility of rain overnight. The track was opened at 7:30 a.m. Friday and there were 109 recorded workouts, including stakes winners Always a Princess for Bob Baffert (six furlongs in a bullet 1:10) and Kelly Leak (four furlongs in :48.80) for Mike Machowksy . . . Trainer Carl O'Callaghan reports Golden Shaheen winner Kinsale King will be pointed to defend his crown next March, but plans to have one prep prior to the Dubai race, possibly in the Grade II Palos Verdes Stakes at six furlongs Jan. 22 . . . Agent Jim Pegram has lost 80 pounds since Feb. 1, simply by watching his diet. "I won't say what I weigh now and what I started at, because it's too embarrassing," said Pegram, who represents top jockey Martin Garcia, who is expected to return to action in five or six weeks.

Blackburn education chief quits over family illness (From This Is Lancashire)
Blackburn education chief quits over family illness
10:00pm Monday 27th January 2014 in News
BLACKBURN with Darwen's director of schools and education has quit after less than two years because of 'family illness'.
Lisa Bibby will not be immediately replaced in her £71,000 plus role and her duties will be covered by other senior staff.
Ms Bibby, who graduated from Southampton University in 1987, said: "Due to family illness over several months, I have reconsidered my personal priorities and decided that I need to work part-time and this is not possible in my current role.
"However, this gives the council the opportunity to redesign its education leadership arrangements, in partnership with schools, and I believe that this is an exciting opportunity to do things differently and I am fully supportive."
Council executive member for schools and education Dave Harling said he was disappointed but understood her reasons.
"As she has said in her statement, this does present us with an opportunity to review and develop further the support we provide for schools, which is important given the challenges they face," he added and went on: "We have been working closely with headteachers to ensure we best meet their needs and the changes we will now be making following this news will support this work further."
Council chief executive Harry Catherall said: "I wish Lisa all the very best for the future and thank her for her fantastic contribution to the council, in particular the legacy she leaves from spearheading the £200m plus investment in our secondary schools, which is already contributing to further positive outcomes for our young people."
Ms Bibby became director of schools and education at Blackburn with Darwen Council in March 2012 having worked with the council and Bolton borough on the Building Schools for the Future programme for six years.
From August 2004 to June 2006, she was programme director of North West Collaboration for Children.

Mia had another clear scan in Rochester a couple years ago. She also started seeing an endocrinologist and was given a very thorough intelligence testing. I am happy to report that she tested very highly. She does have trouble doing mathematics when it is timed. The doctor said that this is an anxiety problem and not an intelligence problem.
I know Mia is getting stronger, because when I hug her or wrestle with her, I can squeeze her tighter. She also is becoming more agile and flexible, but will probably never reach the athletic standards that her twin sister sets - Grace is in gymnastics and contorts her body in ways I didn't think possible. Mia has returned to her dancing class this fall, and Julie says that she is keeping up pretty well.
Over the last couple of years we've (PH) had a few conversations on why bad things happen to good people, and I've struggled with this all my life because so much of it seemed unfair. I'm not struggling with that question anymore because I think I've figured it out - without all those hurdles - I wouldn't even realize what a truly lucky f*ckr I really am.
Oh, and I apologize for pulling out of the October PH 1st reunion in Rochester; but I couldn't get out of work. Mrs. D says I'm going in June or I get my nutz cut off. Let's shoot for then.

Wait, who said anything about a PH reunion?!
Grats on Mia Troy. I'm happy for you. Kinda a bittersweet deal with me as I'd obviously trade a winless Vikings team for the rest of history to hug and spend 1 more hour with my healthy father one last time. But I'm very, very happy that your family didn't have to go through a loss.
Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

I am very glad to hear that Mia is progressing so well.
Timed mathematics?.....pffft....I'm an engineer and I would have issues with that.
It is and has been a very tough road for such a little girl and your entire family.
You have done well my friend and you have learned much from this ordeal. As you have stated previously I believe, that it has made your family stronger and more complete.
I wish that it had not taken such an experience such as this, but one deals with what one is given. You've dealt well.
I lost a niece to leukemia many years ago, she was only 14. That was devastating to our family.
The little girl that I used to bounce on my lap, play hide and seek with...
Even after all these years, I often think of Kristen, wishing that she were still with us and that she never had a chance to live life.
I rarely get misty-eyed, but just thinking of her...well....
My very best to Mia and her sisters....and to your lovely wife.
Sadly, it had slipped my mind as well for getting together this month, but next June sounds like a great idea.
Although the term "reunion" infers that we had previously gotten together, I shall let that one slide.

Of all the costs we incur in our lifetime, the cost of healthcare is one that is difficult to control. Often there is little time to shop for required healthcare. My wife recently needed to have her gallbladder removed, and she would not let me shop the cost of the removal on the Internet. I asked, "How else we can control the costs, if I cannot do a price comparison?" I shop prices for my hunting equipment, so why not a gallbladder surgery?!
While you may have chuckled at my request, the fact is most healthcare services provided are not negotiated by the patient. If insurance is involved, it is likely the healthcare provider has agreed to certain prices or standard billings, but getting two for one or ten percent off is not something that generally happens with healthcare. Special pricing for services may be accepted by some medical offices, while others may not consider it. If insurance is not involved or there is a high deductible on the coverage, some practitioners may be willing to offer a lower price for office visits. They may require full payment when services are provided and require the payment is made with cash or check rather than credit card; thus, this saves them the credit card fee. To see if this is possible, it should be discussed with the office manager or physician prior to the first appointment.
Another area where costs may seem out-of-hand is services provided to Medicare patients. I am sure we have all heard the stories where the one aspirin pill was billed to Medicare for fifty dollars or more. While the costs of these services may not come directly out of your back pocket, we all contribute to the cost of this care through our tax dollars. Medicare fraud can be reported at www.medicare.gov. Since Medicare services are paid by the government but they are not the recipient of the care, they do not know whether the services were actually provided or not. The patient is often the key factor in discovering the fraud that occurs.
If there are procedures listed on the billing you do not recall, the government asks that you first check with the physician or provider to confirm the items. Doing so enables simple mistakes to be corrected by the provider. But, if fraud is still suspected, then you should document the concern with the provider's name and any identifying number; the item in question; the date the service was provided; the amount approved and paid by Medicare; the name of the Medicare patient and their Medicare number; why the claim should not have been paid; and other key information to support the concern. Doing this may help lower taxes we pay.
Another area for concern is the cost of dental care. It seems today there are more gadgets in and surrounding some dental chairs than an airplane cockpit. For some, today's dental care is no longer the simple teeth cleaning and the occasional filling of a cavity. It involves the byte wing x-ray, the panoramic x-ray, whitening, taking pictures of the tooth's surface, cancer screens, building up a tooth or grinding it down… Like all professions, there are thousands of talented and caring dental professionals and then there are a few bad apples. It seems the few bad apples are now looking for ways to create additional revenue from the dental chair. I have been told some dental offices track the quality and selling skills of each hygienist by the number of additional procedures they sell. Since when did meeting sales quotas define a quality dental hygienist? It is unfortunate this is occurring in such a reputable profession. For many patients, they will respond to these recommendations (really sales pitches) with "when do I need to get this done?" This most likely is due to the trust they have, never realizing some of these recommendations may not be necessary.
So, before agreeing to extra laser applications or other services which may be unfamiliar, ask questions and become informed. Determine whether the treatment is medically necessary and why it is needed now. Ask if there are steps that could be taken personally to resolve the issue without treatment. A second opinion may also be prudent. Today when budgets are still tight for many, it is inappropriate to spend funds on treatments which may not be absolutely required.
This is similar to the services and products provided by many financial professionals. It is sad, but consumers should remember not all professionals, regardless of the profession, deserve their unquestioning trust.

French-style bakery treats.
From the vibrant cityscape of Bangkok to Halong Bay's magnificent limestone karsts, this trip encompasses the highlights of Indochina. Marvel at the wonders of Angkor Wat, sail the Mekong and savour noodles in Chiang Mai. Shop for souvenirs in Ho Chi Minh City and join the locals sipping coffee at a lakeside café in Hanoi.
Home to the Cao Dai Great Temple (Thanh That Cao Dai), the Cao Dai Holy See, founded in 1926, is 4km east of Tay Ninh, in the village of Long Hoa. As well as the Great Temple, the complex houses administrative offices, residences for officials and adepts, and a hospital of traditional Vietnamese herbal medicine that attracts people from all over the south for its treatments.
The main sights on Con Son Island include a museum, several French and American-era prisons and a sombre cemetery.
From chaotic Ho Chi Minh City to charming Hoi An, the imperial capital of Hue, vibrant Hanoi and the stunning natural beauty of Halong Bay, this trip has something for everyone. Journey up the coast in this jam-packed introduction to the country's highlights and nightlife with other travellers your own age—so you can be sure to get down with others that'll keep up.
Founded in the 1820s to house a statue that's become the subject of a popular cult, this large temple faces Sam Mountain, on the same road as Tay An Pagoda.
This accessible national park is home to 32 types of mammal and 70 bird species. To reach the park headquarters at Trung Trang, take a green QH public bus from the docks at Cat Ba Town (20,000d, 20 minutes). Buses leave at 8am and 11am.
Fifteen kilometres northeast of Tay Ninh, Nui Ba Den rises 850m above the rice paddies, corn, cassava (manioc) and rubber plantations of the surrounding countryside.
This tomb, constructed between 1864 and 1867, is the most popular, and certainly one of the most impressive of the royal mausoleums. Emperor Tu Duc designed it himself, for use both before and after his death.
Famed as the repository of a sacred relic of the Buddha, this large 1956 building is most notable for its dramatic history.
The site of the most famous siege of the American War, the USA's Khe Sanh Combat Base was never overrun, but saw the bloodiest battle of the war. About 500 Americans, 10,000 North Vietnamese troops and uncounted civilian bystanders died around this remote highland base.
Built around the turn of the 19th century, this decaying light-caramel painted church exudes a sleepy, tropical feel.
Po Ro Me is one of the most atmospheric of Vietnam's Cham towers, thanks in part to its isolated setting on top of a craggy hill with sweeping views over the cactus-strewn landscape.
For overnight stays in villages and longer treks into the mountains, it's important to hook up with someone who knows the terrain and culture and speaks the language. We recommend using minority guides, as this offers them a means of making a living. Note it's illegal to stay overnight in villages that are not officially recognised as homestays.
Surrounding Sapa are the Hoang Lien Mountains, dubbed the Tonkinese Alps by the French. These mountains include the often cloud-obscured Fansipan (3143m), Vietnam's highest peak. Fansipan is accessible year round to sensibly equipped travellers in good shape, but don't underestimate the challenge. It is very wet, and can be perilously slippery and generally cold.
The main kalan (sanctuary), B1 , was dedicated to Bhadresvara, which is a contraction of the name of King Bhadravarman, who built the first temple at My Son, combined with '-esvara', which means Shiva. The first building on this site was erected in the 4th century, destroyed in the 6th century and rebuilt in the 7th century.

CAPE CORAL: A Cape Coral intersection ranks number one for broadside crashes in Lee County. And city leaders say its time for a makeover.
But the proposed project at Del Prado and Southeast 47th Terrace won't be easy and some say it won't make things any safer.
Officials we spoke to say that one reason the intersection is so dangerous is that there are two lights within feet of each other.
Many people don't even see the first light and they look straight to the next one. But the county has a plan to fix the problem.
For workers in the area, the sound of an accident is one they know far too well.
"There's always an accident here. A lot of fender benders every once in awhile you see a big crash," said Roger Suarez, who works near the intersection.
The Cape Coral Police Department says it responded to 18 accidents at SE 47th Terrace and Del Prado last year.
So to make it safer, Lee County wants to remove the traffic light at that intersection and at SE 46th Street.
The lights would then be relocated to SW 46th Lane and SW 44th Street.
Cape Coral Traffic Engineer Dr. Rashad Hanbali says that creates more spacing between other signals on Del Prado for better traffic flow.
"I think this project will only work to the advantage of residents and to businesses in the downtown area," he said.
But with no traffic light at 47th Terrace, the intersection will be closed off - allowing for no left turns and forcing drivers to find alternate routes.
"It might just take them an extra couple of minutes to go the extra blocks to get to where they're going but hopefully it will cut down on accidents," said Cape driver Kristi Huggins.
Lee County is in charge of the project. Construction on those changes is not set to start until next year.

Police shooting
DALLAS –– Footage from a surveillance camera pointed at the street where officers shot a mentally ill man in the abdomen earlier this week shows the man never walked toward police nor raised a knife to them, disputing a police officer's narrative provided in a sworn affidavit.
On Oct. 14, the man's mother called 911 to report that her mentally ill son was sitting in a swivel chair in the middle of a cul de sac with a knife and acting erratically. Joyce Jackson, the man's mother, said the dispatcher promised to send officers who were trained on interacting with the mentally ill.
The surveillance video, given to News 8 by Jackson's neighbor Maurice Bunch, shows Bobby Gerald Bennett, 53, walk out of the garage of his mother's home at 9452 Crimnson Court at noon. He begins pacing the street.
At 12:05 p.m., Bennett retrieves a swivel chair from the garage and sits in the middle of the block. He gets up and talks to Bunch and returns to the chair at 12:08 p.m. Bennett sits still in the chair until a single police cruiser arrives at 12:19 p.m. It's not clear whether he is holding the knife at this point.
Ofc. Cardan Spencer and a witnessing officer exit the police car and slowly walk toward Bennett, who pushes the chair backward a few feet. He then stands up straight and the two officers draw their weapons. The officers stop about 20 feet from him. Eight seconds after pulling their guns, Spencer fires and Bennett crumples over and falls to the ground. An affidavit says Spencer fired his weapon four times, striking Bennett once in the abdomen.
Bennett was standing still during the entire incident, both of his arms at his sides. The officers then approach him as he writhes on the concrete. One stops and picks something off the ground. The other officer kicks something away, turns Bennett onto his back and handcuffs him.
"When the officers told him freeze, he complied," said Bunch, who witnessed the incident from his driveway across the street. "He did not move an inch, in suspended animation; he just stood there, you know? Bobby was conscious, he knew exactly what he was doing because I had been talking to him prior."
In an email, Dallas Police Chief David Brown said the department is conducting a criminal investigation of the incident. After that is complete, they will refer their findings to Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins. Following that, Brown said the department will internally investigate whether its deadly force policy was violated.
"We will be careful to make further comments given the legal procedural due process issues involved with an investigation of this nature," he wrote in the email.
Read the chief's entire statement here. Spencer was placed on administrative leave after the shooting. Brown extended the order indefinitely after News 8 asked about the surveillance footage. The second officer has not been named.
Spencer's attorney, Robert Rogers, said his client had a reason to shoot Bennett.
"The facts and circumstances known to Officer Spencer at the time completely justify his actions," Rogers said. "Obviously there is much more to this situation than that video."
Rogers wouldn't elaborate further because of the investigation.
The video does not have sound. Bennett has been charged with aggravated assault on a public servant and is in serious condition at Baylor Medical Center.
"It took them no time to start shooting," Jackson said. "When you're with a mentally ill person, you don't just start shooting. They had told me there would be someone special there to help him."
Affidavit alleges he pointed knife at officers
At 5:35 p.m. the day of the shooting, Dallas police Sgt. Warren Mitchell sent media a press release detailing the events.
The email said the caller reported Bennett had "mental health issues" and "was in crisis." A police affidavit says his mother told investigators after the incident that her son was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, depression and was off his medication. She told police he "had been drinking alcohol for some time."
In the press release, Mitchell wrote that Bennett was "acting violent and had made statements that he wanted officers to shoot him." Bunch said he did not hear Bennett say that, nor was he acting violent.
In his release, Mitchell said that the two officers gave verbal commands for Bennett to drop his weapon.
"The individual made statements indicating that he was not going to cooperate with the officers," he wrote, adding, "the incident escalated which led an officer to fire his weapon upon the individual."
The police affidavit says Bennett told officers, "You all are gonna need more officers out here!" The document reports that Bennett "took several steps toward them with the knife raised in an aggressive manner."
The surveillance footage does not show Bennett approaching officers after standing up, nor does he ever raise the knife to them.
According to the police affidavit, Spencer was "in fear for his and Wit. Watson's safety," and "fired his duty weapon four times at (Bennett), striking him one time in the abdomen."
Bunch also refutes this account. He said Bennett walked over to him in his driveway and talked with him. Bunch said he gave Bennett a cigarette and he walked back to his swivel chair. The knife and a pouch of tobacco was sitting on the concrete next to the street, Bunch said.
"I believe he may have had the knife in his hand (when police shot at him), I'm not 100 percent sure," Bunch said. "I know when they came, I saw the knife sitting on the ground with a pouch of tobacco."
Jackson said she told the dispatcher her son was mentally ill. She said the responding officers never approached her before firing on her son, who stood at least 20 feet from them, according to the affidavit. Each Dallas police officer is required to be trained to handle incidents involving mentally ill individuals.
An officer is only supposed to discharge their service weapon if they are in fear of their lives, the lives of their partners or to protect members of the general public.
'A very intelligent guy'
Bunch said he's known Bobby Bennett for years. He's invited the 53-year-old into his home before. They've drank beer with each other and the two have worked together before. Bennett has never displayed any abnormal behavior in front of him, he said. He even described him as "a very intelligent guy."
"Now, you see him pacing and walking? I mean, that's normal to me," Bunch said. "Somebody else that may see it, that may not be normal. But he walks and paces, smokes a cigarette, that's normal."
As the video shows, Bunch spoke with Bennett prior to the police arriving. He said he told Jackson not to call the police and that he'd "take care of Bobby." Jackson said she never heard his request. The knife Bennett had, Bunch said, was no larger than a pocketknife.
But Bennett was upset, his mother said. He'd drawn his grandmother a picture and wanted to take it to her. She said it was pouring rain that day and she refused to let him take it; the rain would have ruined the drawing. This agitated Bennett, his mother said, and triggered the episode.
"That just upset him. It can be certain things he can upset about," Jackson said. "And that's all it was."
Bunch said Bennett was not out to hurt himself or others. His behavior never made Bunch fear for his safety; that's why he told Jackson he would help calm Bennett down. He was just upset, not out of control, Bunch said.
"He hadn't lost his mind, he was just pissed off about something," Bennett said. "And I'm like, 'if you want attention, this ain't the way to get it!'"
'They took my whole DVR'
Dallas police have seen the surveillance footage, Bunch said. Chief Brown confirmed that, as well.
After Bennett was shot, Bunch said investigators took him to Jack Evans Police Headquarters and questioned him.
"I told them exactly what happened, just as what I'm telling you right now," he said.
Officers also asked for the footage and Bunch complied, saying they took his entire DVR system. They've since returned it and the footage was not manipulated, Bunch said.
Jackson said a homicide detective spoke with her at her dinner table and informed her that her son would be charged with aggravated assault against a public servant. Both Bunch and Jackson said the police have not contacted them since.
Ofc. Cardan Spencer has discharged his service weapon before. In Dec. 2009, he was one of 13 Dallas officers who, along with two Mesquite officers, shot at a robbery suspect who refused demands to drop his weapon.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown's full statement on the Bennett incident:
We are in the very early stages of conducting a thorough criminal investigation of this incident. Once we complete the criminal investigation we will refer our findings to the Dallas County District Attorney's office...We will be careful to make further comments given the legal procedural due process issues involved with an investigation of this nature.
We will then begin the administrative investigation to determine whether our deadly force policy was violated.
We are aware of video taken by citizens of this incident

Is it time for a stupid hiker law?

When spring arrives in the Valley, fire departments get busy.
Not because there is a sudden peak in fires, but because people visiting the Valley get themselves stuck on trails that were way above their ability.
The rescues have already begun for this year.
Is it time for Arizona to enact a stupid hiker law similar to the state's Stupid Motorist Law, which requires drivers who get themselves trapped in floodwaters to pay for their rescue?

Luke Thomas guests on this week's episode of The Fight Fix and predicts Tito Ortiz may get a title shot if he beats Rashad Evans at UFC 133. See it at MMA Nation.
Your's truly gets interviewed by the SBN President (and Athletics blogger) about various topics. On the issue of this site, I had this to say: Blez: What's it like to have the Bloody Elbow/USA Today MMA Rankings? Thomas: Unequivocally, that's the finest reward of anything I've experienced since I started blogging. To be recognized by the second largest media on the planet written in the English language is an honor in and of itself. But we've actually contributed something to the sport as well. Our rankings demonstrate a step up and commitment to a higher, more sophisticated level of reporting in the mainstream press. Rather than one off articles about fighters that are essentially nothing more than human interest stories, our rankings remind folks MMA is a sport with athletes jockeying for position and hierarchy in hotly contested battles all over the world. That's all together new for MMA in terms of mainstream media exposure and I am very honored Bloody Elbow helped bring that about. Blez: What's your hope for Bloody Elbow? Thomas: I have no formal vision. My only hope is that we can maintain the high standard of quality as we expand our format and grow our output. I've found that if I focus on delivering a consistently good product, the rest of the details often sort themselves out. The only major priority I have is quality. Again, with a sport like MMA that's still grappling with sensitive image issues, I've found producing thought-provoking, measured writing can affect opinion more. The more mainstream sports fan and sporting world expect MMA to be followed by the dregs of society. Having writing and analysis beyond the third grade level can actually do wonders for MMA's acceptance levels, to say nothing of how concerned we are with producing high quality work as a matter of professional responsibility. But yeah, I say openly I write concerned about how the mainstream perceives the MMA community. Someone's got to write on a level they respect. Might as well be us.
A little publicity for me today in the Washington City Paper. To wit: But listening to Kinard, it sounds like management has decided Thomas can transcend his surroundings. "We thought we'd experiment with some different kinds of shows last year, and of all of them, MMA Nation is the only one that lasted," Kinard says. "I wasn't aware of anybody else doing [an MMA show]. And [in April] he outperformed our normal weekend ratings by more than double. We started out thinking this has the potential to be a nationally syndicated show, and that's still our plan. You see MMA all over the place on TV, so why not on the radio?" I hate to be over the top with the self-promotion, but no one is going to hand me the job and career I'm after. I want to work in MMA full time and the fact is I have to make it happen for myself. Thank you to everyone who has ever shown me an ounce of support towards the pursuit of that dream. Onward and upward.
Matt Brown has shoulder surgery, will be out for a few months. (Sorry, I couldn't help it. Luke is an easy target. And for WAMMA, THIS IS A JOKE)

Action call over children crying out for a home
10:30am Saturday 26th January 2013 in News By Catherine Phillips, Reporter
THERE has been an increase in the number of children waiting to be adopted in Worcestershire in the last three years.
Currently, there are 58 children with placement orders hoping to find families, according to the Adoption Service in Worcestershire. Children's charity Barnardo's said nationally it had more than 7,000 children on its register waiting to be adopted – more than at any time in the past five years.
Councillor Liz Eyre, Worcestershire County Council's cabinet member with responsibility for children and young people's social care, said the council now specifically tracked children planned to be adopted to appropriately increase the pace.
She said: "We are aware that there has been an increase over the last three years in the number of children in Worcestershire who have a plan for adoption. However, the positive news is that since April 1, 2012, 40 children have been placed successfully by the Adoption Service and matches are continuing to be made all the time." During the same period the service had received more than 70 enquiries from potential adoptive parents hoping to find out more about the process.
About 20 potential adopters were also going through the assessment process at any one time. Anne Marie Carrie, chief executive of Barnardo's which launched its Fostering Adoption Week this week, said it believed everyone had the right to a happy childhood.
"Without a mum or dad to care for them, these children may never experience the love and affection they need to grow and so many of us take for granted."
Anyone considering adopting can call the Adoption Information Line on 0800 6335442 or visit worcestershire.gov.uk/ adoption.
Meanwhile, government plans to strip councils of responsibility for adoption if they are slow to find children new families could be damaging to vulnerable youngsters, it has been claimed.
Councils have twice the success rate of independent adoptive agencies and the shake-up could adversely affect not just children but potential adoptive parents, according to the Local Government Association (LGA).
The proposals were also described as "heavy handed and unnecessary" by children's services bosses. Ministers are planning to announce that councils who take too long to find children in care new homes will have the task handed over to private agencies and charities, it has been reported.

So I'm not surprised there are so many children waiting for adoption!
What the council/authorities ought to be doing is concentrating on investing help/needs/assistanc
e on the origional parents, to get them the help they desperately need to maintain a normal
family enviroment! I think another over heavy handed approach has been set again and has bit them in the bum again!!
