The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a fatal crash involving a Flagler County sheriff's deputy.
Troopers said that, around 6:45 a.m. Wednesday, Deputy Christopher Crego was responding to a call when he crashed into a van near the intersection of West Black Point Road and State Road 100.
The driver of the van, Eduardo Luis Pacheco, 64, of Palm Coast, died as a result of the collision. Deputy Crego, 31, was transported to Halifax Hospital in Daytona Beach with non-life-threatening injuries.
A school bus, carrying three people, was also hit by debris from the wreck. The occupants of the bus were not injured.
Crego has been with the Flagler County Sheriff's Office for a year-and-a-half.

8This Would Be Kat Von D's Real Engagement Ring
From Us Weekly:
"Tonight, Joel put a ring on my finger — Too taken aback by its beauty and its meaning to post a pic right now," the L.A. Ink star tweeted. But soon after that she wrote, "Doesn't get anymore official," and included a photo of her new ring. Two small skulls sit on either side of the black diamond, and the double band features smaller black stones.
"The biggest thank you to The Great Frog London for handcrafting the most important ring I will ever wear," Kat Von D added.
Deadmau5 (real name: Joel Zimmerman), 31, celebrated the holidays with Kat Von D, 30, in his native Canada. The on-again-off-again couple stepped out together in Vancouver Dec. 27 holding hands, and showing off the engagement ring. The bride-to-be had a smile on her face as she held up her ring finger for photographers.
You know, all skulls and what not aside (not that there's anything particularly wrong with the skull motif—it's just not my thing), it's a pretty nice ring. I'm sure lots of African people and their elephants probably had to die for it or whatever, but hey, a black diamond. Pretty nice, right? Pretty nice.

"Lots of African people and their elephants…" did I really just read that?
Odd are, that's exactly the case. Not the elephant part per se (hint: it's called hyperbole), but have you ever heard any of those "stars" brag about the ethical diamond they bought/received? Nope. You'll hear about its size, its price, but not about its origin.
On another note, finger and face tattoos are stupid. Kat is actually a very pretty woman, and very talented artist, but this is just overkill.
LOL! I was thinking that too!
Hilarious as ever, Sarah.
who in their right mind would put a ring on that tattooed skanks finger ?
I love the ring. I'm not a fan of traditional wedding rings at all.
Yes, all diamonds are result of murder and slavery. It's been like that for so long. I've hated diamonds since the 80′s. They're not a rare or precious stone. There is no shortage of them unless you want a high quality flawless diamond.
So, we're throwing blood at every woman who selected a diamond for her engagement ring or is it a targeted assault on Kat?
I think if you know that most diamonds have been extracted by people working in borderline slave-like conditions, picking a diamond ring without a certificate that ensure it isn't a blood diamond is fucking awful. Also, why would I want to wear something that a slave crafted?? How is that a token of love??
Cannot think of a more fitting ring. Jesse James is jealous he did not think of it.
I love sculls! My husband and I are not traditional in the least and we have silver wedding bands with sculls etched in them!

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Daba, Apr 22, 2011.
According to Artur Werner now her coach is Morozov.
Who's Nikolai Morozov?
She used to skate with him I think and so has she returned?
What happened with Robyn Wagner?
I swear Gedevanishvili is trying her best to out-do Bobek's record.
Good luck to Elene with her new coach!
I believe Nikolai was Elene's coreographer.
ugh. How can one girl have such bad taste in coaches?
Other than Miki and now possibly Elene does M coach any other senior ladies?
I think the coaching change will be good for Elene.
He was coaching Valentina Marchei.
Valentina Marchei is also with Morozov.
^^Thank you!
I love Elene but why is she hopping from one coach I despise to the next? I thought the day she left Robin Wagner would be a happy one for me but now I am...ugh...
Seriously, Morosov takes 50% of my favourite skaters and makes me a very unhappy Hedwig.
Isn't Morosov based in Moscow (even though he's been hopping around since last summer's fires)? If that's true, wasn't Gedevanishvilli deported from Moscow several years ago, which is what led her to end up with Wagner to begin with? So everything's OK for her to return?
AFAIK, Georgia had diplomatic tensions against Russia at the time Elene G's mother got deported. I believe Russia-Georgia relations have been restored since U.S. leaning Sakhashivilli administration was thrown out of Georgia a couple of years ago.
Why Morozov is so hated here?
cause he's a total douchebag
I hope this means Elene can ditch the Wagner-esque hair now too.
Heh, I was going to say it looks like she's stuck being a blonde for a little while longer.
Poor Elene. It sounds like the costumes won't be getting any better.
IIRC, and as implied by another poster upthread, Gedevanishvili was not deported, but her mother was (which is why Elene Gedevanishvili left the country).
Mikheil Saakashvili is still the President of Georgia. http://www.president.gov.ge/index.php?sec_id=209&lang_id=ENG
The relations between Russia and Georgia are still bad, and Russia recognizes breakaway regions in Georgia as independent.
I think that it might be a very good news if Morozov can help Elene to get more consistent with her jumps. Of course, hair and costumes are important but they will not win competitions. Morozov seems to be able ho help many skaters to improve jumps and that's what she needs most right now in my opinion. So I'd say it is a good decision.
Really? I thought it was his technical assistants who form part of his coaching team that helped restore Miki's consistency in her jumps back in 2006-2007. Still, if he has a strong technical team around him then Elene should benefit and anyone is better than Wagner IMO.
FYI, Wagner used to have an FSU account back in the early 2000s and posted with her public name displayed... I seriously hope she hasn't read anything here since. Am I the ONLY person on here who thinks the Robin hate is a bit much?
Why do people hate Robin?
I think it's a bad idea for any skater - a female skater especially - to go to any coach whose girlfriend is someone he's coaching. It's complicated enough for a coach to be dating one of this skaters, but IME any skater who's not the girlfriend is not going to be getting the best attention and advice.
I agree with you on this in general but I think Miki is taking next season off, so if it's true at least next season it shouldn't be a problem.
I agree with this. She is capable of huge 3lz and 3t-3t-2t so if she can add a 3lo or 3f to her arsenal and become more consistent with the jumps she has, she could do a lot better, constantly be a threat for the Euros podium.
Sometimes, in rare cases, even going to Morozov doesn't sound that bad.
I remember reading an interview saying that Wagner quit coaching.
wasn't there talk miki is dating javier now? so morozov has an opening
Exactly... It wasn't Morozov who improved Miki's consistency. It was her work with Chris Conte prior to goint to Morozov that helped.
Morozov doesn't need "an opening". He sees. He wants. He counquer.
I thought His Oiliness mostly went for blondes - except Miki?
Sorry but.....
Maybe it's the reason for Elene's hair color this season
He's such a weird case, because while his off-ice behavior is loathsome, when it comes to skating and coaching he has great insight, and, especially if you were a guy, without any of lecherous crap, his group sounds like a comfortable and positive place to be, as opposed to coaches who are difficult, abusive, etc. but skaters stay with them because the coaches have been successful.
From the interview posted by quiqie in the "From Russia with Love" thread:
Kudriatsev: "All Morozov's athletes have better skating technique and accurately calculated biomechanical movements. It allows them to keep very high speed on ice even when they do very difficult steps and step sequences. Audience doesn't think why some athletes skate faster than others. It's all technique. Feet, knees, ankles, foot position toward the ice surface, the pressure...Judging by the exercises that Nicholai gives to his students, I see that he works on all these details, rather than just the edges."
Morosov: "I'm really glad that [because of that] I had one month to work with Sergei Voronov. I'm glad, in general, that he didn't get on the team in this season and we were able to work peacefully. Had he got to compete at Europeans and Worlds he would perhaps still believe that everything was alright. This way, he realized that something had gone wrong. Sergei started to pay attention to many things he never thought about before."
"I keep a free group atmosphere, I don't pressure anybody, don't lecture them. If someone don't understand something, I'd better put them in such conditions that they finally realize it, rather than yell at a student a hundred times a day. It's pointless to try to get results from someone who does not understand why they need it."
Thanks for correcting me. I should have said "his team" instead.
Yes, because people have nothing better to do than to follow your posts around and make snarky replies to them
Really, Morozov's pattern of love-them-and-leave-them is pretty well documented and is not something that people here are making up or just repeating.

All five starters from the Kentucky Wildcats' NCAA championship squad -- freshmen Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague, and sophomores Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb -- declared for the 2012 NBA Draft during a joint press conference Tuesday night.
"It's been a great opportunity playing here, I'll miss this team, the way we played together. We all love each other," said Davis, who's expected to be the first overall pick. "I'm just going to miss this place. We won an NCAA championship here and did a lot. We all did a lot for this school and I'm going to miss it."
The Wildcats are also losing seniors Darius Miller and Eloy Vargas, leaving freshman Kyle Wiltjer as the lone returning rotation player from last year's squad. Despite having his roster completely overturned, John Calipari is happy for his players.
"This is a players' first program. I said it three years ago. During the season, it's about our team. You saw it in this year's team, they were about each other," Calipari said. "When the season is over, it's about moments like this."
From Glenn Logan of Kentucky blog A Sea of Blue:
This is a proud day for the Kentucky Wildcats program, coach John Calipari, the university, and the fans. While it is far from ideal to have young people depart an academic institution short of completing their courses of study, it is becoming clear that preparing young people to live their dreams, whatever they are, is at least as important as a degree, especially when the studies can be finished at a time more convenient time.

text: Too many babies in the United States are born preterm, of low birth weight, or with birth defects. In 2008, the U.S. infant mortality rate was 6.61 per 1,000 live births. In the 2005 international rankings, the United States ranked 30th in infant mortality, behind other developed countries including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and most European countries. Improving the health of women of childbearing age, before they conceive, is essential to changing these trends, yet millions of women do not receive evidence-based prevention services, primary care, and treatment due to a lack of health coverage or limited access to quality care. Many women do not currently benefit from clinical and community preventive services that could improve their health for a lifetime and help them have healthy babies when, and if, they choose to do so. Unfortunately, many women also continue to face multiple barriers such as violence and poverty and might live in neighborhoods that impede their ability to reach their full potential for health and well-being. The objectives of this action plan are to advance the knowledge of women and their partners, increase the availability of evidence-based services, and improve the health of communities in our nation.

Leshoure ran for 46 yards and one score on 15 attempts Saturday in a 31-18 loss to Atlanta.||||||| Leshoure is up to 741 yards as a rookie heading into a Week 17 matchup with the Bears.
Leshoure ran for 70 yards and three touchdowns as the Lions turned in their most complete victory of the season, 31-14 over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.||||||| Leshoure scored on runs of 7, 1 and 8 yards, becoming the first back in franchise history to run for three touchdowns in the first half. Not even Hall of Famer Barry Sanders accomplished that feat.
The Detroit Lions are starting Leshoure at running back against the Tennessee Titans in his first NFL game after a torn left Achilles tendon wiped out his rookie season and a two-game suspension delayed his second.||||||| Leshoure was a second-round draft pick out of Illinois in 2011, and he is starting Sunday instead of Kevin Smith.
Leshoure is back at practice after recovering from a right hamstring injury.||||||| Leshoure has missed most of training camp because of the injury, but he was on the field Wednesday with the team. The Lions could use a healthy Leshoure because running back Jahvid Best is still out with concussion problems.
Leshoure was suspended for two games without pay Wednesday and will have to give up two more game checks for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He can participate in training camp and preseason games while suspended before being eligible on Monday, Sept. 17, to be on the roster. The Lions likely will have two more players punished by the league. Defensive tackle Nick Fairley was arrested twice and offensive tackle Johnny Culbreath had one run-in with the law.||||||| Leshoure pleaded guilty to marijuana possession in May after police discovered him with pot in his mouth during a traffic stop in southwestern Michigan. That happened on March 12, less than a month after police in a different Berrien County community say they caught Leshoure with marijuana. Detroit drafted the former Illinois standout in the second round last year and he missed his rookie season because he tore his left Achilles tendon in training camp.

Somewhere over the rainbow: Activist bids to become Turkey's first gay mayor
Turkey, still recovering from the #occupyGezi movement and the government crack down on peaceful protesters, is in for another shake up in the upcoming mayoral elections.
43 year-old Can Cavusoglu will become the first openly gay candidate to stand for office in Turkey in the March 2014 elections, AFP reported, adding that he is running for mayor as an independent candidate in in Bulancak, a town of 60,000 people on the Black Sea.
The US-educated activist and Istanbul native wants to become the first gay mayor in majority-Muslim Turkey, where homosexuality is not illegal but remains a taboo outside urban centers, AFP reported.
Cavusoglu describes himself as a gay activist who also campaigns for women's rights, and "a thinker, painter, writer" who hopes to attract American investment to the town if elected.
Turkey, an aspiring candidate for EU membership, has witnessed a significant relaxing towards its attitudes towards homosexuality over the last few years.

Beaubrun Finishes 29th at World Championship
Sophomore sets four national records
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Just days after finishing her third semester at FGCU, women's swimming sophomore Dani Beaubrun (Vieux Fort, St. Lucia/The Bolles School) took 29th in both the 50 and 200 meter breaststroke en route to setting national records at the 10th FINA World Swimming Championship in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on Wednesday.
Beaubrun competed in the 50, 100 and 200-meter breaststroke and the 50 freestyle, breaking four national records along the way. The World Swimming Championship is swum in short course meters, whereas most meets in the United States are configured in short course yards.
"Dani not only continues to improve in all areas, but is becoming more versatile going the 50 free in a major international competition for the first time," said head coach Neal Studd. "Dropping her time in the 200 breast, which has never been her favorite event, is a great accomplishment. She has worked hard in the pool and also the weight room and it shows. We are really excited what she can do at the conference championship in February."
Beaubrun finished with a time of 32.01 in the 50 breast, while clocking in at 2:38.77 in the 200 breast. She also competed in the 100 breast and 50 free, finishing with times of 1:11.39 and 26.97, respectively.
Beaubrun was selected to represent St. Lucia in the World Championship after her performances at the Central American and Caribbean Games during the summer. She competed in the 50, 100 and 200-meter breaststroke, breaking five national records along the way.

Some research suggests that infant swimming in chlorinated pools may increase the risk of lower respiratory tract infections or asthma, but there isn't enough information conclusively linking infant swimming and asthma to warrant keeping healthy babies out of indoor pools.
Some researchers theorize that chlorine — a common disinfectant used to keep pools clean — binds with swimmers' sweat and urine to create byproducts in the water and air that may harm an infant's lungs and put him or her at risk of developing asthma. Indoor pools have higher concentrations of these byproducts than do outdoor pools. Babies are thought to be at particular risk because their lungs are still developing and they tend to swallow irritant-laden water while swimming.
Studies examining the relationship between infant swimming and asthma, however, have produced conflicting results. For example, one 2008 study found that infants who swam at age 6 months had a greater risk of having an episode of chest congestion or wheezing in the chest up to age 18 months — if their mothers had a history of allergies. But another study published the same year found that infants who didn't swim before age 1 had a greater risk of being diagnosed with asthma at age 6. Similarly, a 2011 study designed to explore cause and effect found that swimming didn't increase the risk of asthma or allergy symptoms.
If your baby participates in infant swimming in indoor pools and you're concerned about asthma, opt for a well-ventilated facility. Ideally, staff members will open doors and windows in the pool area and use fans to boost airflow over the surface of the pool when it's crowded. Also, be sure to rinse yourself and your baby in the shower before entering the pool to reduce the formation of irritants in the water.

KSP Targeting Impaired Drivers to Save Lives
During the Holiday Season
(FRANKFORT, KY) -Motorists traveling Kentucky´s roadways this holiday season are going to be seeing a lot of gray. Gray police cruisers and gray uniforms of the Kentucky State Police, that is.
The Kentucky State Police will be beefing up their presence on highways throughout the state in effort to save lives.
Beginning at 6:00 P.M. on Wednesday, Dec. 24 and continuing through 11:59 P.M. on Sunday, Dec. 28, KSP will be out in force conducting four days of saturation patrols and traffic safety checkpoints at strategic, high-risk locations. Their mission: removing impaired drivers from the roads before they kill themselves and others.
"Kentucky has a no tolerance stance when it comes to impaired driving," says KSP Commissioner Patrick N. Simpson. "There will be no warnings or second chances. Impairment begins with the first alcoholic drink. Operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content of .08 can result in immediate arrest even for a first offense."
During 2003, 900 people have died on Kentucky´s roadways as a result of vehicle crashes. That´s 12 more than last year at this time. Two people were killed in two separate crashes during last year´s two-day Christmas holiday period. One of those crashes involved alcohol. With a four-day Christmas holiday period this year, the potential danger is doubled. Consequently, KSP´s 950 troopers, in conjunction with local police and sheriff´s offices, will be using all possible resources in their enforcement efforts including video, radar, unmarked vehicles and passive alcohol sensors.
As part of their enforcement efforts, KSP will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort), a nationwide program aimed at reducing crashes on interstate highways and parkways.
To maximize their visibility, standard KSP vehicles will be using daytime running lights during the enforcement period. In addition to impaired drivers, troopers will be targeting seat belt violations, including child safety seat regulations, and speed violations.
Anyone can help save lives during the holidays by reporting suspected impaired drivers to KSP toll free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Caller identification is not required, but direction of travel, suspected vehicle description and license number is helpful.
"Citizens shouldn´t be shy about reporting erratic drivers to law enforcement," explains Sgt. Phil Crumpton, of the Kentucky State Police Community Relations Branch. "It often just results in a courtesy stop of a tired or drowsy driver and directions on where they can get a cup of coffee or pull over to rest. However, it could save the life of a friend or loved one. It´s an act that just might make a real difference."
Simpson sums up the matter in simple terms. "Impaired driving is against the law, period," he says. "It´s a violent act that has criminal repercussions including fines, loss of license and incarceration. Don´t take the risk. It´s not worth it."

Sunny Golloway has been named the newest head coach of the Auburn baseball program.
Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs announced the move via news release just before 9:30 p.m. ET on Friday.
"I'm really excited about this opportunity because I've always held the Auburn baseball program in very high regard," Golloway said. "The history of the Auburn program was a huge factor in making this decision. Secondly, the Southeastern Conference is the top baseball conference in America. Being able to compete in the SEC is a challenge that we look forward to. With our location, we are in a hotbed of talent. We will be able to hit the road recruiting right away, and we look forward to recruiting the best student-athletes to represent this outstanding university."
Golloway spent the last eight years as the head coach at Oklahoma University, leading the Sooners to seven NCAA regional appearances, four Super Regional berths and the 2010 College World Series.
The move was made quickly after Golloway arrived on campus Friday to meet with Jacobs.
"I had heard quite a bit about Jay and really wanted to meet him," Golloway said. "And right after I met him, I knew it was going to be a great fit. I think that's very important – who you're working with on a daily basis, the commitment to the student-athletes in your program, and making sure that everything is in place to pursue an opportunity to win championships. That's what we want to be about – we want to win championships."
This year, Golloway's Sooner team went 43-21 overall, won the Big 12 Tournament, and advanced to Super Regionals before falling to LSU. This was the fifth-straight 40-win season for OU.

A Disney cruise liner stopped to rescue four men signaling for help near Key West, Florida, a spokeswoman for the company said Tuesday.

Hollywood.com's Paul Dergarabedian talks to CNN about Disney's "John Carter" disaster.
Walt Disney will incur a $200m writedown on John Carter, the action film based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel which has failed at the box office despite a $300m production budget and an extensive global marketing campaign.

Personal spending on items such as clothes and travel has perked up lately. To date, though, most of the money has flowed to either end of the retail spectrum: luxury chains that target wealthy consumers who don't have to watch their wallets or discounters catering to households worried about making ends meet. The stocks of these retailers have been bid up accordingly.
Because sports are governed by seasons, not years, "The Year in Sports" always makes for a very bad movie. If 2011 were a motion picture, Aaron Rodgers would win the Super Bowl in the first reel and lose to the Chiefs just before the credits roll, making the Packers' quarterback the feel-bad story of 2011.

Calls to Samaritans increase after Coronation Street's dramatic story is aired
7:00pm Tuesday 21st January 2014 in News
THE Samaritans charity said calls to its helpline increased by a third as Coronation Street character Hayley Cropper took her own life.
More than 10 million viewers watched as Hayley, played by Accrington actress Julie Hesmondhalgh, took an overdose on Monday night after giving up her struggle with incurable pancreatic cancer.
Despite media coverage prior to the episode focusing on the issue of euthanasia, Hayley's husband Roy opposed her decision and played no part in her death.
Catherine Johnstone, chief executive of the Samaritans, said the Coronation Street production team had 'acted responsibly' by consulting the charity over the controversial storyline.
She added: "Our two decades of experience of advising the media about issues surrounding the portrayal of suicide, led to Hayley's death and the devastation of her partner Roy being handled in a sensitive way.
"The inclusion of Samaritans' contact details at the end of the episode was helpful in encouraging those who were affected by the programme to get in touch.
"Our initial results show that calls to our helpline between 5pm on Monday and 5am yesterday ((TUES)) were 30 per cent higher than during the same period last week, although these are only partial figures.
"While some of this increase may have been a result of the Coronation Street storyline, we are also aware that calls to Samaritans are heavier than usual at this time of year."
Some have criticised ITV for 'stoking up' a fake controversy about euthanasia.
Julie has herself spoken in favour of assisted suicide being legalised, while campaigner Jane Nicklinson, whose husband Tony suffered from locked-in syndrome and died in 2012, praised the soap for 'starting a conversation' on the issue.
But a spokesman for Coronation Street said: "We have never billed the story as dealing with euthanasia. We have advised it is a right-to-die storyline. Hayley acts alone and Roy has no part in her death.
"He is opposed to her decision and strongly expresses his viewpoint during the episodes on Monday night. Over the coming weeks, he will continue to voice his strong opposition to what she has done."

The Vision
Samaritans Vision is that fewer people die by suicide
The Mission
We work to achieve this Vision by making it our Mission to alleviate emotional distress and reduce the incidence of suicide feelings and suicidal behaviour.
We do this by:
Being available 24 hours a day to provide emotional support for people who are experiencing feelings of emotional distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide
Reaching out to high risk groups and communities to reduce the risk of suicide
Working in partnership with other organisations, agencies and experts to achieve our Vision
Influencing public policy and raising awareness of the challenges of reducing suicide
The Values
We are committed to the following Values:
Listening, because exploring feelings alleviates distress and helps people to reach a better understanding of their situation and the options open to them
Confidentiality, because if people feel safe, they are more likely to be open about their feelings
People making their own decisions wherever possible, because we believe that people have the right to find their own solution and telling people what to do takes responsibility away from them
Being non-judgemental, because we want people to be able to talk to us without fear of prejudice or rejection
Human contact, because giving people time, undivided attention and empathy meets a fundamental emotional need and reduces distress and despair
If there's something troubling you, then get in touch.
We're here 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
If you need a response immediately, it's best to call us on 08457 90 90 90 or 01254 662424 (call charges apply)

Either someone goes 'postal' and shoots half the cast (preferably those that have got a bit above themselves in the pay grades) or they form a religious cult and sign away all their cash and property to an unscrupulous leader, who then clears off with money, after giving them all - including the kids, free orange juice.
And here's me thinking that they only dealt with this kind of hiatus at Xmas, so that they could run a strap-line across the bottom of the screen, reminding people of how they live such sad, lonely and desolate lives, that they need reminding of suicide, while trying to cheer themselves up by watching the umpteenth re-run of Morecambe and Wise, because the Queens speech is on the other side.
Perhaps there is some cheering hope for us all, as Roy's body is found beneath the viaduct on Rosamond Street, after throwing himself off it, being unable to cope with his loss. Which would be quite topical, given the numbers doing the same act, from multi-storey car parks in this area.

About the Authormarco marella
marcomarella venice, italy
I was born in Venice, Italy, where I still live and work, on dec.28th, 1962. Although I briefly studied painting and etching at the venetian 'Accademia di Belle Arti', and I attended an illustration course at the 'Chelsea School of Art' in London, UK, I think those moments are only parts of that wider experience of the world influencing my works, and I consider myself a self taught artist. After various working experiences, ranging from ship-boy on a cargo to army officer, in 1988 I started my career as an illustrator and since then I have been involved in any kind of illustration work, in Italy and abroad. my works have been awarded by the italian and british associations of illustrators, and have been published on 'american illustration' 27 and 28, luerzer's archive '200best illustrators worlwide' 2008 and 2009, 'illusive' contemporary illustration 3, 2009.

En español | It depends on the amount of your total income. You may have to pay federal taxes on some of your benefits if you file a tax return as an individual and your "combined income" is more than $25,000. (Social Security defines combined income as adjusted gross income, plus nontaxable interest and half your Social Security benefit.) If you file a joint return with your spouse, you will have to pay taxes on some of the benefits if that figure is more than $32,000. As your family income goes up, so may the taxes on your benefits. But no matter how high your income is, 15 percent of your benefits will always be tax-free. Before you sign up for Social Security, you may wish to consult an accountant or other financial adviser to learn your options. You should also check to find out whether your state and local government tax benefits — many do not.

Projecting the team's regular season roster and we've already locked BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Giovani Bernard on the 53-man roster with enough confidence that it's not unlike doing a crossword in pen. Cedric Peerman, who signed a two-year deal worth $2.5 million in March, would have to catastrophically collapse to lose his spot. Presuming that the Bengals open the regular season with a four-man running back roster, one remaining position remains open for a projected training camp battle between sixth-round rookie Rex Burkhead, Bernard Scott and Daniel Herron.
And after listening to head coach Marvin Lewis during Friday afternoon's press conference, Burkhead appears favored at this point, saying he's "just what I expected."
"Just the quickness in line, the ability to stick his foot in the ground and go from Point A to Point B," said Lewis following the second practice on Friday. "Just the things you saw from him on tape. His abilities as a receiver. I think he'll be a guy also who will really uplift us on special teams and compete to be one of our core guys."
Burkhead, labeled as the "Brian Leonard replacement", was selected in the sixth-round of the 2013 NFL draft out of Nebraska.

I have 2 food plots for deer that equal about 3/4 acre total right now.
Was a very wet year here, so I could not get the cub out to the high ground where my plots are.
I mowed the growth from last years plot (rye grass re-seeded) I used a spike tooth drag with my 6 wheel ATV to rough up the soil in August. I planted all turnip. It came in great, but the deer mowed it all down WAYYYY before they were supposed to even like it!!!
now it's just rye grass that they are grazing on.
I'm thinking about trying winter wheat, I hear it's good for adding nitrogen to soil, but wanted to confirm that (i thought peas or beans added nitrogen, but they would most certainly never grow out there because they would be eaten immediately).
If it's no-till wheat, how would /should I plant it?

Idoc script's simplicity is both a blessing and a curse. While it's a breeze to learn, and easy to reach for when you need to do a bit of server-side processing with the Oracle Universal Content Managment suite, the sparse feature set and lack of things like user-defined functions and arrays often result in a cut-paste-tweak approach to problem-solving that's a real pain to maintain.
In this post, I cover how to simulate a simple, one-dimensional array with a ResultSet created with the rsMakeFromString() function.

Customer Testimonial
I am currently finishing the painting process of the tiles with a Rustoleum hammered copper finish. The bad part of this is the color only comes in spray cans. I could have bought the quart version of paint but would have had to thin in for a sprayer and that would have changed the hammered effect of the paint. The tiles themselves look pretty good. I can send you a photo of a before and after painted tile. I hope to have a grid up in about two weeks and will be able to send you some shots from that part as well before after. I will try to get a before and after shot of a tile or two in a day or so.

Here's a look at a key matchup heading into Sunday's battle between the Vikings and Bears.
Vikings RB Adrian Peterson vs. Bears' run defense
Chicago's problems on defense are not limited to struggles vs. the run, but that potential weakness could be exposed again on Sunday.
The Panthers and Lions assaulted the Bears' run defense in the past two games. Those two teams combined to rush for 350 yards vs. Chicago and averaged 7.6 yards per carry. We saw Lions RB Jahvid Best tear through the defense without even getting touched at times Monday night, and Peterson, a tackle-breaking force, will make the Bears pay if they don't correct those errors.
The Bears made some changes on defense during the week, partly out of necessity — DE Julius Peppers and DT Matt Toeaina both suffered knee sprains vs. the Lions. Toeaina has already been ruled out and Peppers is listed as doubtful for Sunday night's game. The safety position has been a problem for the Bears since Week Two and they will be starting second-year veteran Major Wright and rookie Chris Conte at safety Sunday after benching Chris Harris and Brandon Meriweather.
With some pieces being shuffled on the defensive line and young players getting an opportunity on the back end, the Bears really needs their linebackers to step up and have a better game than they did last week.
The Bears will be hoping to stop Peterson before he gets to the last level of their defense, but will Conte or Wright be able to get the job done if it's up to one of them to take him down in the open field? Wright has had trouble making those kinds of plays at times, and Minnesota has to like its chances in that situation.

The Belly Dancer Excerpt
Chicago, 1893
Dora Chambers entered the Egyptian Theatre behind the crowd of gritty laborers and pale office clerks, the older gentlemen and boys barely of an age to shave. The masculine scents of their hair pomade and Ivory- soaped skin mingled with the fragrance of the tendrils of smoke curling from brass burners set along the stage. She raised her handkerchief to her nose.
"Are you sure you're up to this, dear?" Agnes Richmond placed a grandmotherly hand on Dora's shoulder and leaned closer to be heard over the high- pitched whine of a horn.
"Of course, she's up to it," muttered Geraldine Forrest as the three settled along the back of the standing room gallery behind the rows of filled seats. She brushed at the sleeves of her tailored wool jacket and, for the third time since they'd arrived, adjusted the wide-brimmed hat sitting atop her sweep of golden hair. "I'm sure she'd do anything to keep her new husband happy."
"Yes, of course," the older woman said. "You must have felt exactly the same about Mr. Forrest, God rest his soul." She took Dora's gloved hands in her own. "It doesn't appear those women intend to follow through with their threat after all. It's quite a relief, really. I understand their concern, but frankly, the Columbian Exposition hardly needs the trouble."
A commotion at the entrance interrupted her, and the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd in the cavernous hall pressed back, nearly sweeping Dora off her feet. When she righted herself, a stream of women in black wool frocks and simple hats had cleaved its way down the main aisle and toward the stage. Each held a sign in her grip with letters still dripping with wet paint: "Send the foreign filth home," "Propriety before profits," and "Close the belly dance theater now." Their shouting drowned out the music until it stopped altogether.
"Move back, dear, out of the way now." Mrs. Richmond urged Dora toward the rear of the gallery, though everyone around them pushed toward the door.
Dora followed instructions, and huddled with Mrs. Richmond and Mrs. Forrest at the back of the emptying theater. Perspiration dampened Dora's forehead and two droplets slid down the crevice of her back where the corset was pulled the tightest. She dabbed at the trickle but couldn't reach it through the layers of linen and whalebone, cotton and wool.
On the stage, she saw several dancers huddled together as well.
"That's enough, that's enough now. Clear out." A uniformed man pushed his way inside and was waving his hands over his head in a call for order. Behind him stood another dozen uniformed men, poised to act.
"We won't leave until this den of vice is closed down," cried a dour, elderly woman who emerged from the pack to stare down the officer. "We will not allow it to defile our city any longer!"
"You've been warned, madam. We'll arrest anyone who disrupts this theater's lawful operation."
"Is it lawful for these women to fl aunt themselves in this vulgar manner? Is it lawful for these men to witness this obscene display?"
The woman adjusted the glasses on her nose in a way that made her look down on the officer though he towered over her.
"Not for me to say, ma'am. Grievances should be taken up with the Fair directors. Now you and your sisters here have two minutes to disperse." He made a show of pulling out his pocket watch and checking its face.
The grim- faced woman turned to the stage, where the dancers still stood against the back wall. "You have not heard the last of this," she hollered. "We will rid this Fair of your filth." Then she turned and with a swipe of her hand signaled her fellow protesters to follow her out.
The officers followed behind, leaving only the performers, Dora, Mrs. Richmond, and Mrs. Forrest.
"That was the Society for the Suppression of Vice?" Dora asked, tucking a stray strand of her black hair behind her ear beneath her straw boater and gripping her parasol more tightly, still unaccustomed to its constant presence. "It's just a group of ladies. What harm could they possibly do?"
"Never underestimate a group of ladies, my dear," Mrs. Richmond admonished. "Take our Board of Lady Managers. The directors themselves put their trust in us to sort out this mess, and I for one am proud to say it is our Lady Managers' privilege to contribute to the Fair's success. Remember, if this World's Fair succeeds, Chicago succeeds. The opportunities will be endless."
"Chicago is full of opportunities, isn't it?" Dora liked the sound of it. It's what Charles had said on their wedding day two months ago in New Orleans, when she'd packed her dresses and twenty years of memories into a steamer trunk, ready to start a new life eight hundred miles away. "The past is irrelevant in Chicago," he'd whispered in her ear as they stood at the steamship bow, waving to strangers and feeling the rumble of the engine choke smoke into the sky as it prepared to leave the only home she'd ever known.
Mrs. Forrest craned her neck to see out the open door. "I'm sure I just saw Mrs. Sheffield and Mrs. Loomis."
"Where, dear?" Mrs. Richmond searched in the same direction.
"I should say hello."
"I'm sure that isn't necessary." Mrs. Forrest smiled demurely.
"Let me convey your tidings for you. You and Mrs. Chambers don't really require my assistance here, do you?"
"Of course not. I'm sure Mrs. Chambers and I can manage; there's no reason we all must endure this dreadful business."
"I knew you'd understand." The woman air- kissed Mrs. Richmond, ignored Dora and made her way down the crowded aisle.
Dora noted the snub as she watched the woman leave. She leaned in to Mrs. Richmond. "Have I offended her?"
"Don't mind Mrs. Forrest. It takes her a while to warm up to new people. I was surprised she asked to join us. It really isn't like her." She pulled up the timepiece that hung from a chain around her neck. "The next performance will be getting under way soon, but I want to have a few words with the Egyptians first." She looked around the theater. "That must be the manager," she said, pointing to a man walking toward them from the door.
He was tall, with broad shoulders, a lean waist, and blue-black hair that fell in thick waves to his shoulders like a soft shroud against the hard angles of his cheeks. Dora guessed he was Egyptian, for he wore the typical white tunic over narrow pants and had the same bronze skin as the performers on the stage. He regarded her with eyes like polished obsidian stones.
"You must be Mr. Hossam Farouk, the man in charge here?"
Mrs. Richmond stiffly extended her hand in greeting and introduced herself, emphasizing her title as vice president of the Board of Lady Managers.
"I am Hossam Farouk," he replied. He took the proffered hand and lifted it to his lips. "But I would hesitate to say I am in charge."
His accent made the words sound like a song.
"Surely you're being modest. Mr. Sol Bloom himself has told me you're the man to see. I'm sure you're familiar with Mr. Bloom?"
"By reputation." He crossed his strong arms over his chest and stretched his six- foot frame to its full height.
Who in Chicago didn't know Sol Bloom by reputation? Even Dora had read stories of the young entrepreneur from San Francisco. He'd been recruited by the Fair's directors to turn the Midway
Plaisance from what had been conceived as a collection of anthropological exhibits into a carnival of profitable amusements to help recoup the Fair's staggering building costs. The games, the rides, the animals, the alehouses, even the dancers were added largely by his orchestration. Some claimed he even coined the name "belly dancers" to titillate the public and sell more tickets.
"In light of today's events, we were hoping we might have a word with the dancers, if that's convenient," Mrs. Richmond said.
He bowed. "We are always willing to accommodate Lady Managers." His chin lifted to a proud angle. "Please, excuse me, and I will see what I can do."
He went to the stage and the dancers, who had been watching the conference, and they quickly gathered around him. They exchanged words and flashed quick glances at Dora and Mrs. Richmond.
The one who had been performing just before the interruption took a step back and folded her arms over her chest. She was the smallest of the troupe, but carried herself with a confidence that contradicted her size. She shook her head and the other dancers did the same. The man rubbed his face with his palm, shot another glance at Dora and Mrs. Richmond, and continued his speech.
"I'd say Mr. Farouk might be right; that little one looks like the boss around here," Mrs. Richmond said under her breath. "A spitfire, for sure."
The small dancer inclined her head and relaxed her stance. She turned to the others, said something, and they all nodded. Then all those dark eyes turned toward Dora and Mrs. Richmond.
When they neared, it was the little dancer who spoke first. "You have something to say to us?"
These performers were known by so many names: belly dancers, muscle dancers, posture dancers, dancing girls. Dora had seen them in newspaper etchings alongside stories about the shows, but the images hardly captured the exotic women in front of her.
The one who spoke—she couldn't have been any older than Dora's own twenty years—was outfitted in a short crimson vest that stretched taut across her bosom and left her abdomen uncovered, except by a blouse that fit snug as a stocking and exposed her collarbone and too much of her upper limbs. She clearly wore no corset, which alone could cause a scandal. Her skirt lacked proper length, revealing far more of her bow- tipped slippers than the rules of modesty should allow. The other adornments— a belt of tassel-tipped ribbons dangling to her knees, a profusion of beads and stringed coins roped about her chest, coils of metal bracelets wrapped around her wrists, even the loose dark hair hanging down her back—hardly concealed any more of her form. The other dancers wore similar costumes of varying colors—cobalt, marigold, persimmon, and plum.
And like Mr. Farouk, this little dancer spoke English with an accent that gave her speech a rhythm nearly as exotic as their desert music.
Mrs. Richmond jutted her chin. "If it is convenient."
The dancer shrugged.
Dora gaped. These dancers surely had no idea who the Lady Managers were.
"We won't keep you long, Miss . . . " Mrs. Richmond said. A swollen blood vessel cut an angry path along her temple.
"My name is Amina Mahomet," the dancer replied. "Shall we sit?"
Mrs. Richmond scanned the uneven rows of empty wooden chairs. In the haste to leave, the audience had left behind discarded tickets, crumpled programs, and stray kernels of molasses- covered popcorn that no one seemed inclined to retrieve. "This will not take long."
The dancer went to a chair she turned to face Mrs. Richmond, stepped out of her low- heeled slippers, and sat. A handful of the others did the same; the rest moved to stand behind them. Mr.
Farouk receded to the background, watching but no longer taking part. He stood by, more like a guard than a manager.
Dora couldn't help but stare at him—and when she noticed that he was watching her, she glanced away and forced herself not to look his direction again.
Mrs. Richmond, however, paid no attention to the man. She focused on the unladylike display in front of her. The seated women hunched forward or propped their feet on adjacent chairs.
Those who stood thrust out their hips to the side or leaned on the backs of chairs.
"It pains me to be the bearer of bad news," Mrs. Richmond said at last, when it was clear no one else would begin the conversation, "but the Fair directors have requested the Lady Managers' assistance with this matter of the protesters. They find it quite disturbing."
Amina pulled a foot up to her lap and massaged the arch.
"When you arrived," Mrs. Richmond continued, "we discussed expectations. Do you recall that conversation?"
Nothing but blank stares on the dancers' faces.
"Any of you?" The strain in Mrs. Richmond's voice raised it an octave, maybe two.
"The others speak almost no English," Amina said. "You may direct your questions to me."
"Then do you recall that conversation?"
Amina lifted her shoulders in assent.
Mrs. Richmond touched the bulging blood vessel at her temple.
Her lips twitched. "We discussed proper conduct and attire.
So I am disappointed to learn our guidelines have been ignored."
She met Amina's gaze squarely. "This cannot continue. The directors have instructed us to resolve the situation, as we are best suited to deal with such sensitive, feminine issues."
"What of the other dancers?" Amina took one of the ribbons hanging from her waist and ran her finger down its length. "There are many along the Midway: the Jerusalem woman who dances with a sword in the Moorish Palace, or the handkerchief dancers and the Ouled Nail women in their veils and silver jewelry who stand and tremble upon the stage in the Algerian Theatre."
A new bloom of rage spread over Mrs. Richmond's face. "The protesters cite the Egyptian dancers as their concern."
Amina crossed her arms.
"It is my hope," Mrs. Richmond continued, "and I hope it is yours as well, that we can remedy this situation ourselves.
If we cannot, I will be forced to tell the directors you will not cooperate."
Amina's glance slid from Mrs. Richmond to Dora, and made Dora shift uneasily.
"I do not presume to know the directors' minds," Mrs. Richmond added, "but I would expect the consequences to be severe.
Perhaps a fine, but I'm sure a complete forfeiture of the troupe's wages might also be considered."
Amina's jaw twitched. She studied the floor beneath her as if reading a secret language in the swirls and knots of the wood's grain. "At out last meeting, you said we should not allow our virtue to be compromised. I can assure you, we have not."
Mrs. Richmond's fists clenched at her sides. Dora studied a bare wall.
"Then you deny the existence of any impropriety?" The older woman's voice sounded shrill and thin.
"What impropriety could there be? It is only a dance."
"It is a matter of common decency," Mrs. Richmond stammered.
"Are you referring to your decency or mine?"
Mrs. Richmond ignored the challenge. "As you do not even see fit to wear proper undergarments, I must insist that you choose your outer clothing more wisely."
Amina glanced down at her stomach and to the folds of her crimson skirt. "Now you want to punish us because we do not wear corsets?"
Mrs. Richmond pressed her temple again. "Young lady, please consider this a warning. From this point forward, you and the other dancers must cover yourselves more appropriately. Veils and something more substantial than what you are wearing today would be a good start. Lewd and salacious movements also will constitute a breach. And to be sure these rules are enforced,
Mrs. Chambers"— she glanced at Dora— "is, as of this moment, appointed board liaison to this establishment. If there are any violations, she will report them directly to me."
Dora stared in horror at Amina and the other dancers. A liaison?
She couldn't return to this wretched theater. It was no place for a proper lady, and especially not one trying to establish her place on the Board of Lady Managers. Her cheeks burned and her heart raced.
"Mrs. Chambers?" Mrs. Richmond turned to her, a pleading look in her eyes. "You can begin your duties promptly?"
Dora choked out a "Yes, of course."
Mrs. Richmond turned a steely gaze on Amina. "Please be sure to share with your colleagues what we have discussed and what has been agreed. And just so we are clear, the Board of Lady
Managers has assured the Fair directors that this nonsense will stop. One way or another." Then, in a swish of skirts and petticoats, she turned and marched toward the door.
Dora stood paralyzed. This wasn't happening. Surely there must be someone else for the job. And why was this little dancer looking at her that way?
Amina had risen when Mrs. Richmond departed and was now staring at Dora. She cocked her head to the side. "You're not like the other Lady Manager, are you?" Her voice was calm, far too calm for someone who had just argued with one of the most powerful women in Chicago.
Dora clutched the lace at her throat. "I am a Lady Manager," she stammered and hurried to the door.

A man wanted in connection with a robbery at a home last month in Newberry County has been arrested.
On April 30, deputies responded to an armed robbery call on Holy Trinity Church Road in Little Mountain when witnesses told them that two men forced their way into home where they held the victims on the floor and robbed the victims and stole several items, including cell phones.
Newberry County sheriff's investigators said Lorenzo Cedell Jones, 27, was identified as one of the subjects involved in this incident.
Through a 3-day search by the Newberry County Sheriff's Office and SLED, Jones was located in Newberry and apprehended without incident, the Newberry County Sheriff's Office said.
"It is the coming together of the entire community that ensures that incidents like this are few and far between," said Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster. "We work to eradicate violence in the community at every level. It takes an entire community to make this happen."
The second man wanted in connection is still being sought. A description of the second man has not been released.
If there is any information regarding the whereabouts of any of the subjects involved, please contact the Newberry County Sheriff's Office at (803) 321-2222.

Bill Birns presents a weekly essay on history, geography, day-trips, arts and culture in the Catskill Mountain region.
The first settlers in the Ulster County Catskills discovered on their properties outcroppings and ledges of a hard bluish-gray stone they soon found could be mined and cut and put to a variety of uses around the farm.
Often, when I would run into the late Kenny Miller, I'd ask him for the Satchel Paige story. Kenny was the longtime proprietor of Bussy's Store, on the main corner in Margaretville, who served several terms as mayor of that village. He was also a baseball player.
Jackie Robinson Day is an every April 15th celebration of the man who broke the color barrier in baseball. This year marks the 60th anniversary of that first season in Brooklyn, when Jackie stoically took the curses, slurs and verbal brick-bats hurled at him by opposing players and fans alike.
The congressional district on the Upper East Side of Manhattan is known as the Silk Stocking District. Now, clearly, that nickname reflects the wealth of the people of that neighborhood, but it also suggests a congressional district that has a history and an identity beyond the identity of the particular person holding office, a district that exists to be represented by a series of elected representatives over time. Kind of like basic democracy: the district exists before the representative.
To trout fishers, the Catskills are the home country, the old sod, and the reverently referred-to birthplace. Words like Beaverkill, Willowemac, Esopus and East Branch are uttered almost like prayers, the names of the steams where trout and dry fly first made their American acquaintance at the beginning of our national life.

Cowboys QB Jon Kitna missed practice on Friday and is questionable for the season finale vs. the Eagles.
If Kitna cannot play, backup Stephen McGee will make his first career start for Dallas. QB Chris Greisen was signed to the Cowboys practice squad on Monday, and he would likely be signed to the 53-man roster if Kitna is not healthy enough to play.
Kitna has a sore muscle that hurts when he throws, according to interim coach Jason Garrett. Still, Kitna is expected to travel to Philadelphia with the team.

Non-animal Methods for Toxicity Testing
The Way Forward essays are a series of invited expert commentaries exclusively available on the AltTox website.
Many sections of AltTox conclude with one or more of the invited The Way Forward essays, which were written by technical or policy experts in the field covered in that section. The writers, whose brief biographical sketches follow their essays, were all asked to express their views on how best to accelerate progress on developing, validating, and gaining regulatory acceptance of non-animal methods in the topics under consideration. These "Way Forward" commentaries address specific fields of toxicity testing (e.g, neurotoxicity testing), types of non-animal technology applied to toxicity testing (e.g. (Quantitative) Structure-Activity Relationships), and stakeholder policies or programs (e.g., the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods). Also included are more broadly focused essays on Overarching Challenges and Opportunities. The commentators were under no obligation to address all aspects of a topic; indeed, many chose to address a few salient aspects of the subject matter. Their views do not necessarily reflect those of the AltTox Management Team.
Readers are invited to discuss these commentaries in The AltTox Forum. Also, readers interested in writing a Way Forward commentary, or in nominating a colleague, should contact the Management Team at firstname.lastname@example.com. We would especially welcome offers to write commentaries on topics that currently have few or no commentaries. Moreover, we will regularly post new commentaries and archive older ones.
