The Bay Health Foundation awarded $400,000 in grants to ten community-based health care agencies during a Monday luncheon at Bay Medical Center.
The foundation oversees the lease of the hospital, manages the employee pension fund and supports charities that provide health services.
Among the recipients was the St. Andrew Community Medical Center which serves about 3,000 patients who have no insurance and can't afford health care. The clinic no longer receives funding from local governments. "This grant is really lifesaving to our clinic," said Dr. Curtis Williams, the center's medical director. "Otherwise, we would have to severely reduce our services to the indigent."
To qualify for a grant, an agency must submit an application, financial statements and a list of donors. Each also gets an on-site visit by members of the foundation's grant committee. "Every one we gave money to is really in dire straits because the state and federal governments have cut back so much," said Don Connor, foundation chairman.
"There's always a funding issue," said Jean Warner, coordinator of the Bay County Council on Aging's Respite Center. "We have state funding and federal funding but there's never enough."
Warner said the $25,000 grant awarded to the council will be used to maintain the center's program that provides day care to about 50 senior citizens suffering from dementia. "It will probably make a big difference for at least twenty clients in any given year," she said.
Another recipient was Bay Cares, an organization of doctors that donate time and services to low income patients. "In 2011, twenty-five million dollars worth of services was provided to the community," said Dr. Kamel Elzawahry.
The grants were funded with proceeds from the 2012 lease of Bay Medical to Sacred Heart Health System/LHP Hospital Group. Beginning in 2014, grants will come from interest earned on foundation investments.
The recipients of 2013 grants were:

If you can't make a brilliant entrance in your own show, when can you? Louise Mandrell, formerly of the Mandrell Sisters, is now based in her own theatre in Pigeon Forge, TN, where she packs in crowds nightly. (The Pigeon Forge area, home of the theme park Dollywood, has also developed into a kind of mini-Branson, MO, with a number of stars performing in their own venues). Mandrell has been in residence there since 1997. For the latest edition of her show, set designer Rick Stetson and LD Susan Rose created an opening effect that's hard to top.
Stetson describes it: "First, there's a daytime cloud scrim downstage, then there's a slow change to a nighttime look, and the National Anthem is sung. After that, the scrim flies out, and you see a star curtain; it spells out the name 'Louise.' A 3D star flies in, and dots the 'I' in 'Louise.' The star turns around slowly, and there's Louise." This leads into her opening production number.
The drop was custom-made by New York-based Rose Brand, with sales rep Tom Coulouris facilitating the purchase for Stetson. The curtain is made out of a 22oz. Black Encore velour fabric (it is, of course, inherently flame-retardant) with a backing made of a basic black poly chintz. The curtain, which is an enormous 24' tall and 64' wide, is illuminated by 19 QFX 150 illuminators. Rose Brand also supplied a number of other fabrics to the production, including a 23' × 50' gold/white metallic knit stripe, a 25' × 70' terracotta banjo cloth, and a series of 20 rain curtains; Stetson irregularly cut the bottoms of the latter items to create a series of legs.
Susan Rose says that the star drop effect is programmed into her Flying Pig Systems Wholehog console, along with the rest of the show's cues. She adds that, although Mandrell is typed as a country star, her show provides far more variety. "She sings, dances, plays musical instruments," says Rose. "She does country, pop, big-band, and Latin music."
Rose adds that her rig is largely automated, with 26 High End Systems Studio Color units and 16 Clay Paky Stage Scans, along with approximately 100 conventional units, mostly ETC Source Fours, with 36 Chroma-Q scrollers. The automated units are necessary, she says because "every lineset is full, with so many drops and set pieces, and there are so many focus points, that it would be too hard to do it all with a conventional rig. Also, I can use the Stage Scans for my gobos, effects, flashy, rock and roll stuff, and also sometimes for specials." She adds that the gear was originally chosen by LD Mike Swinford, who now lights concert tours for Kenny Chesney (see June 2003 Lighting Dimensions); all gear was purchased from TLS (Theatrical Lighting Systems) In Huntsville, AL.
Rose and Stetson have both been part of the Mandrell family for some time. "This is my fifth season with her," says Rose. She adds that she began her career as a singer, but, by 1994, "I was working as a spot op at Opryland. In the afternoons, I was really bored, so I started playing with the light board, which was an original Wholehog. I have a knack for picking up computerized things and when the board op left, I was the only person who could run it. By default, I started doing shows there. I met other LDs who taught me things. Soon, I was getting more work on lighting boards, then I started programming. Later, I wrote a Hog quick reference guide and used it to teach classes. Before long, I was getting email requests for it. It was on the Light Network and it's been translated into German, French, and it's going to be in Croatian! It's now on the Flying Pig website. Then I helped start the WYSIWIG retreats with Dave Irwin. I also program Pay-Per-View Wrestling on Wednesday nights, working with LD Jeff Bornstein."
Stetson says, "I've worked with Louise for many years. I did the concept designs for her theatre, as well as her first production there. My partner, Michael Summers, and I have a custom-design company called Creative Design Associates. Our projects range from theatrical productions to themed-enterainment environments to corporate events"
He adds, "There are quite a few scenic elements in the show. The band moves up and down stage. There's a big Vegas number with chasing lights, a gospel section with stained glass windows flying in. This year, she added a great steel drum number, where she comes up on a lift. For the finale, we do a tribute to the 9/11 heroes with a huge flag; actually, there's something for everyone." He adds that the fiber-optic curtain is also used in the theatre's daytime show, featuring Mandrell and the gospel group Integrity. He also points out that the Mandrell production evolves over time. "The cast and crew are kept busy fine-tuning and adding new numbers, to keep the show fresh and exicting," he says. "Also, there's a two-month Christmas show and a Valentine's show in February." Whatever the time of year, Mandrell can be expected to perform in a stellar manner.

a very good collection of the classic Anthrax line-up. If you are not a hardcore Anthrax fan then this and "Return of the Killer A's is all you really need. One weird thing is that on my copy it says that "Got The Time" is included, but the song "Time" is what is actually included. I am guessing this is some production error, but it is worth noting for those of you buying this for that song. Hopefully this will be corrected. The songs are all remastered and sound great, I am hoping they will remaster the whole Anthrax catalog!!!!!!
Anthrax Biography - Anthrax Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Lemmy Kilmister explains his unabatedly passionate relationship with his own band and its varied history as follows: "Motörhead is not only my job, it's my whole life." The legendary group is about to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year, looking back on a unique career. Motörhead have sparkled on the world's most prestigious stages, graced countless important music magazine covers and released numerous rock classics. The fact that this band counts among the most authentic and charismatic rock acts world-wide is without a doubt due to the never-tiring enthusiasm of Lemmy, who continues to live his own visions of musical earthiness irrespective of trends and fashions. This latest Motörhead release, entitled Stage Fright, is a double DVD and not merely a rock'n'roll statement chiseled into stone, but also an extraordinary look at the band's life.If you're looking for some no-nonsense hard rock riffage, Motorhead – Stage Fright is your destination. The Teutonic power trio, who've been around for over 30 years, have a lean, muscular musical attack that clearly influenced not only heavy metal (with its bludgeoning thunder) but also punk rock (with its no-frills minimalism). Phillip Campbell's guitar technique blisters with ruthless efficiency as he rips through Motorhead classics like Ace of Spades, backed by Mikkey Dee's ferocious and buoyant drumming. But the master of ceremonies is towering Lemmy, the lead singer/bassist with mighty muttonchops; though he keeps his stage patter sparse–the band frequently segues straight from one song into another–his humor and charisma are clearly the focal point. Visually, Stage Fright–filmed in Dusseldorf, Germany, before a mob of sweaty, head-bobbing adolescent males (with occasional glimpses of a rare girl)–depends heavily on rapid editing and the relentless throb and flicker of the light show, as the band is pretty much a stand-there-and-play bunch. But by the end, even nonbelievers may find themselves bobbing along with Dancing on Your Grave or Going to Brazil or the acoustic Whorehouse Blues. The second dvd of this two-dvd set is an extensive exploration of Motorhead's backstage world. While a non-fan might think that including interviews with Lemmy's bass technician or the band's potty-mouthed cook is the height of rock narcissism, the opposite is true; Motorhead are about the least pretentious rock stars you'll ever see. The genuine family feeling among the band and crew is enviable and results in a raffish, enjoyable portrait of life on the road. Also included is a montage of fan tattoos, interactive features, ringtones and wallpaper, and the full text of the band's backstage rider, which dictates the booze and candy that the band expects to find in their dressing rooms. All in all, Stage Fright is an honest and entertaining portrait of one of rock-and-roll's most resilient bands. –Bret Fetzer

MOSH MOSH MOSH MOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is definatly the purpose behind this cd. Don't think of it as island's way to get spare change from old school thrashers. Instead think of this as the most kick @** Joey Belladonna Anthrax songs crammed into one cd for your moshing pleasure. But even though it's not that long as AOTKAs and doesn't contain "Ball of Confusion". It does contain "A.I.R."*, "Armed and Dangerous", "Caught in a mosh"*, "I'm The Man (the def uncensored version)", and more than one song from "Persistance of Time". In my opinion this cd contains THE BEST era Anthrax there is. But if you disagree get AOTKAs. I know I did and i'm happy both ways around.
I'm a huge Anthrax fan. Always have been. But I was kind of conflicted with this one. I knew that this CD was a big faceless corporate record label trying to cash in on a great band. But what did I do? I cracked and bought it.Here's my approach: I accept the record for what it is. It's a compilation with a bunch of great songs on it. It may be missing "Ball of Confusion," as so many here have noted, but I'm thinking of what it does include.It's got "I Am the Law," "Indians," and "Caught in a Mosh," from arguably one of the best metal recordings ever, "Among the Living." It also has the uncensored version of "I'm the Man," which I so enjoy. And probably my two favorite songs the band has done, "Antisocial" and "Belly of the Beast." And it's got that great cut with Public Enemy, "Bring the Noise."I give it four stars because it's not officially licensed and it's not 100% comprehensive, so in theory it should be a three star recording, but the quality of the songs chosen warrant an extra star.
After the last greatest hits compilation of Anthrax material, "Attack of the Killer A's", didn't go down so well with older fans of the band due to a surprising lack of older material, another compilation featuring only older material was pretty much a no brainer. "Madhouse: The Very Best of Anthrax" may be no more than a record company's attempt to cash in, but it does offer a fine selection of some of the band's best older material. Yes, "Ball of Confusion" isn't here, but we get "Antisocial", "Caught in a Mosh", "Indians", "I Am the Law", "Belly of the Beast", the uncensored version of "I'm the Man", and naturally "Bring the Noise". If you already own all of Anthrax's older albums, there is no point in owning this; however if your looking to get into the band, this along with "Attack of the Killer A's" is a good place to start.
DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM!This album is NOT sanctioned by the band, it is simply Island Records attempt to milk money from the bands name. The band had no input about the song selections or release of this album. Island records dropped the band cold and has the nerve to release this album! LEECHES!DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM!

ANDERSON — Jasiah Deloney clutched a fistful of trading cards in his hand as he listened to six high school athletes talk about the importance of values.
Each card featured one of the local athletes.
"You have to get good grades and be a good student before being an athlete." said Deloney, 10.
About 90 fifth-graders formed small clusters around the cafeteria of Eastside Elementary on Tuesday as high school students from Anderson shared how they practice the Six Pillars of Character when playing sports. The athletes also stressed how being a good student is part of having good character.
The discussion was part of a touring Character Counts program that is taught in schools, agencies and organizations nationwide. The Six Pillars of Character are trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship.
Around the room, eager hands were raised high by the adoring elementary students in response to questions asked by the athletes who were being treated like rock stars by the students. Morgan Nadaline, 17, is an athlete in the program, but she understands how the students feel because six years ago she was one of the elementary students attending the program.
Nadaline, who plays golf, happily answered the questions students volleyed at her and shared her thoughts on how being an athlete promotes citizenship.
"You have to get along with people and it teaches you to be a better person," she said. "It also teaches you to play by the rules and follow directions."
Nadaline was joined by fellow Anderson High School athletes: Jordan Hill, baseball; Da'Sha Boyd, basketball; Tyler Davidson, swimmer; Kaira Jackson, softball; and Weston Bell, football.
According to the Josephson Institute Center for Youth Ethics, the program has been shown to improve academic performance, reduce discipline problems and improve attendance rates. In a study by the institute, more than 96 percent of the teachers surveyed said the program helps to build students' character and about 94 percent would recommend the training provided through the program to others.

A Phoenix woman accused in the abuse of foster children has been sentenced to 10 years of supervised probation.
Alma Holland, 56, was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to two counts of child abuse, Maricopa County prosecutors said.
Holland and her 53-year-old husband were arrested in October 2012.
Her husband, a former foster parent, was jailed last fall on suspicion of numerous crimes against seven children under his care from 2005 to 2011.
Steven Joseph Holland, 52, was arrested Oct. 11, 2012 at his Phoenix home near Happy Valley Road and 51st Avenue, culminating a 13-month investigation by Phoenix police that began when a 4-year-old boy told a daycare worker he had been abused by his foster parent, said Sgt. Steve Martos of the Phoenix Police Department.
"It just shatters the trust you have in fellow humans that they would do something like this to a little child," said one neighbor.
Child Protective Services was notified and Phoenix detectives began an investigation, though not enough evidence was found to warrant an arrest, Martos said.
Meanwhile, CPS revoked the foster license of Holland and his wife. No children were under their care after the revocation, Martos said.
Police eventually identified seven victims formerly under Holland's care, some of them special needs children.
The victims included five girls and two boys ranging from 4 to 17 years old.
Holland was charged with child abuse for failing to notify police of the crimes. Court documents showed that Alma Holland was told by one of the victims of the abuse and witnessed the abuse on at least one occasion.
A 95-year-old woman was found to be in the care of the Hollands when officers served a search warrant.

The father of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects says he will leave Russia for the United States in the next day or two. But the suspects' mother says she's still thinking it over. She was charged with shoplifting while she was in the United States last summer, but says she's been assured by lawyers that she would not be arrested. She says she wishes she'd never moved her family members to the United States, claiming that the U.S. failed to protect them. The Tsarnaev family emigrated to the U.S. a decade ago, but both parents returned to Russia last year.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee says he want to overhaul the way the U.S. grants asylum to immigrants after the Boston Marathon bombing. Rep. Bob Goodlatte is a Virginia Republican. He says U.S. authorities should consider whether asylum applicants are, quote, "engaging in aggressive tactics" in their home countries. Accused Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are ethnic Chechen brothers from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago with their parents. The family was granted asylum. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a shootout with police last week. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was arrested after being found hiding, unarmed, in a boat. (AP)

During the final moments of practice on Monday, Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap "walked off the field with trainer Paul Sparling" with an injury that didn't "look to be serious." According to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, Dunlap suffered a concussion and that "he is out for now."
Bengals DE Carlos Dunlap is not practicing right now due to a concussion he suffered earlier in the week. He is out for now.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) July 31, 2013
Despite securing a five-year extension several weeks ago, securing the defensive end in a Bengals uniform through 2018, Dunlap has had a history with injuries that's prevented him from playing a full 16-game season during any of his three seasons.
Lewis confirmed the injury after Wednesday's practice, calling it a "mild concussion" with an unknown time frame for his eventual return.
Figure that the team wants to keep Dunlap completely sidelined until the issue is completely resolved and the medical staff (and maybe an independent staff) clears Dunlap for contact, which may take a while. At the very least, the preseason opener against Atlanta is extremely doubtful.

Trials & Litigation
UK Spy Accused of Attacking Colleague to Be Tried Behind Screen, Under Pseudonym
Posted Dec 10, 2012 3:19 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A British spy is accused of sexually assaulting, beating and harassing a female colleague at various times last year will be tried for in a highly unusual manner next year.
Because the 28-year-old's life could be in danger if his identity is revealed, he will be tried under a pseudonym, "Mark Barton," the Telegraph reports.
And, although the judge and the jury will be able to see the defendant, members of the public will not; "Barton" will sit behind a screen during the trial in London's Southwark Crown Court. The alleged victim's identity also will not be publicly revealed.
Judge Alistair McCreath said a public trial with the defendant's identity concealed is a better option than holding a trial in camera, because this will allow the public to hear the trial and permit the written record of the trial to be public, the Daily Mail reports.
"I recognize that before I can grant anonymity to this defendant and along with it the physical concealment of him in court while he sits in the dock and gives evidence, I must be satisfied that there is a real and immediate risk to his life if anonymity is not granted," the judge said during a recent hearing, portions of which were not public.
"The material before me, which I cannot obviously specify, satisfies me that the risk is real, in the sense that it is objectively verified, and I'm satisfied that it is immediate, in the sense that it is present in the circumstances if anonymity is not granted."

Atlanta used good pitching and good offense to take two of three games from the Miami Marlins this week. With the series win, Atlanta moved 7 games in front of the wild card race, and up to 5 games behind the Nationals for the division.
Game one saw the Braves offense carry over its good work from the Nationals' series, as Atlanta scored early and often en route to a 7-5 win over Wade LeBlanc and the Marlins. A three run home run by Dan Uggla capped a 4 run first inning as Atlanta jumped out to a lead it would not relinquish. Tim Hudson picked up the win for Atlanta despite not being very sharp at all. Hudson allowed 4 runs on 10 hits and 5 innings, but the bullpen was able to keep the Marlins in check after he left. Martin Prado, batting 5th, had a perfect 4-4 day at the plate, driving in 2 and scoring once. Dan Uggla went 2-3 with 2 runs, 3 RBIs, and a walk. Uggla's home run was his 19th on the year.
The middle game of the three game series was a heartbreaker for Atlanta. Shut out through 8 innings by the suddenly-dominant Nathan Eovaldi, Atlanta scored three runs in the 9th inning off Marlins' relievers Steve Cishek and Mike Dunn to tie the game. Brian McCann's 2-out, 2 RBI double was the game-tying blow, and gave the Braves life in a game which looked well on its way to being a shutout. Alas, it was not to be, as the Marlins put together a 2-out rally of their own against Cory Gearrin in the 10th inning, culminating in Jose Reyes' walkoff. Jason Heyward almost made a spectacular play on Reyes' sinking liner, but came up just short as Miami took game two 4-3.
The rubber match yesterday pitted Kris Medlen against Josh Johnson, and, once again, it was vintage Medlen. The Braves' unquestioned ace tossed another 8 innings of shutout ball, allowing only 4 hits and 1 walk while striking out 6. When Craig Kimbrel nailed down the win in the 9th, it was the Braves 21st win in as many tries when Medlen starts. As I said yesterday, we're running out of ways to praise Medlen. You can bet that Meds will be the frontrunner to start Atlanta's wild card game, should the Braves end up playing in it.
After an off day today, Atlanta heads to Philly for a three game set with the Phillies.

UPDATE: Barcelona 2-2 Chelsea, Final Score
Chelsea are going to the Champions League final and it was Fernando Torres (FERNANDO TORRES!) who clinched their spot there. The Spaniard came off of the bench and scored in the 90th minute to put the Blues up 3-2 on aggregate and end Barcelona's Champions League dream. Oh, and Torres' goal came after Chelsea played more than 50 minutes with 10 men. It's been that crazy.
With the tie even on aggregate at 2-2 but Chelsea set to go through on away goals, Barcelona were pressing for a goal. Because all of their men were forward, when the ball was cleared Torres was able to latch onto it with no defenders near him. He rounded Victor Valdés and Chelsea were through.
Related: Video of Fernando Torres' £50 million goal
Of all players, it was Torres. And he did it at the Camp Nou. And it came with Chelsea down to 10 men. Nothing in this match makes any sense, but the Blues don't care. Munich is waiting for them.
We'll have live coverage throughout the game in our Barcelona vs. Chelsea, 2012 UEFA Champions League StoryStream. For more on the two teams, head over to Chelsea FC blog We Ain't Got No History and FC Barcelona blog Barca Blaugranes.

East Lancashire firms welcome ethnic monitoring
4:30pm Wednesday 30th January 2013 in News By Bill Jacobs, Local government reporter
PROPOSALS to monitor the ethnic make-up of companies' boards and employees have been given a qualified welcome by East Lancashire business leaders.
They are happy for the government to collect statistics to increase understanding of the composition of the nation's workforce, but strongly opposed to that information being used to impose quotas on firms.
Prime Minister David Cameron is working on proposals to survey the numbers of ethnic minority employees in major businesses and their managements with a view to increasing the diversity of workforces.
Mike Damms, chief executive of the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, said: "Businesses don't have a problem with the government gathering information on the ethnic composition of companies' boards and employees to increase understanding of the workforce.
"There is a problem if they start to use that information to impose quota on companies.
"It is up to firms to decide who they recruit.
"The answer is to ensure that young people right across the society have the education and qualifications to make them employable."
His view is echoed by Tim Bullough, commercial director of rapidly-expanding Accrol Papers, of Roman Road in Blackburn which was founded by Jawid Hussain in Accrington in 1993.
He said: "We are a very ethnically diverse company at all levels, from management to workforce.
"We have no problem with the government gathering information on this.
"We would not be in favour of the government imposing quotas on firms, although they would not affect us.
"The key is making sure that all young people have the right education and qualifications."
Will Montague, commercial director of RG Adrac, part of the Reach Global group founded by Mian Gulam in Burnley and now based in Church, said: "I think there is nothing wrong with the government gathering information on this. However, if they want to start telling companies who they should employ, then they should keep their noses out of our business."
Blackburn Labour MP Jack Straw said: "I think this is a good idea. You often find that by making companies have a look at what they are doing in areas like this, they then start to take action themselves."

Franklin Visiting Scholar: Jennifer Fluri
The Franklin College Office of Inclusion and Diversity Leadership brings to campus visiting feminist political geographer Jennifer Fluri from Dartmouth to give an important talk on gender, security and violence in south and southwest Asia:
Fluri, an associate professor of geography and chair of the women's and gender studies program at Dartmouth College, will discuss "The Beautiful 'Other:' A Critical Examination of 'Western' Representations of Afghan Corporeal Modernity."
Fluri's research focuses on the geography, politics and economics of gender, security and violence in conflict and post-conflict societies. Her lecture will look at the role of the female body, gender and the Western ideal of beauty during and after the U.S. intervention in Afghanistan. Fluri examines how the female body is used to reconstruct new forms of political meaning, social value and economic opportunities in post-conflict Afghanistan.
"Gender, security and violence are tightly linked in post-conflict societies, such as those in southwest Asia," said Amy Trauger, an assistant professor of geography and Fluri's host during her visit. "International aid, popular representations of Afghan women and capitalism work together to create a post-conflict nationalism that may not empower the most vulnerable populations. Dr. Fluri will share some new insights from her research in these areas."
March 17 at 3:30 p.m. in Room 214 of the Zell B. Miller Learning Center. Free, open to the public and not to be missed.

INDIANAPOLIS — Among all those in attendance at Ravens head coach John Harbaugh's interview session late Thursday morning at the NFL Scouting Combine, one wide-eyed person stood out.
That would be 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, John's younger brother.
Separated by a mere 15 months, the Harbaugh boys' bond and genuine respect for one another came through loud and clear.
Having made the playoffs in each of his three years as Ravens' head coach, John Harbaugh was asked Thursday if he had any specific advice for brother, Jim, whose hiring as the Niners' 18th head coach five days after the season ended couldn't have been better received by a fan base that had grown more than a little weary of his predecessor, Mike Singletary.
"Jim doesn't need any advice from me," John said. "We grew up in the same room and had our share of battles, but we really get along well. I have tremendous respect for him. He is a proven football coach. People can downplay what he did at Stanford, but what he did there the last four years has made me really proud. He built a team that just ran over people. I mean, he just took USC to the woodshed. Sorry, USC, but that's the truth."
John was then asked if he had learned anything from Jim.
"Well, I tried to learn how to play football from him, but he must have kept that a secret," John said with a smile. "He lasted 15 years in the league, and I can't even throw the ball 30 yards."
A little more than an hour later, Jim Harbaugh spoke glowingly about his older brother in his first-ever Combine address to the national media.
"I learned so much from my brother," he said. "He has given me a lot of advice. We never coached together or worked together professionally. We played some baseball, football and hockey growing up, but that was it.
"But in my heart, we've always been one team. Now that will change next season, when the Ravens play the Niners (in Baltimore on a date to be determined), and I can guarantee you it will be very competitive."
John Harbaugh said he actually will be bonding a lot with his brother the next five days in Indianapolis.
"We will spend a lot of time together," he said. "We'll sit in the stands together and watch all the players run. We're not big 'box' guys; we don't have suites. We'll be down there on the field with everybody else, grab a hot dog and do our evaluations."
John Harbaugh would not tip his hand on the specific needs he hoped to fill in the upcoming draft.
But he did talk about expanding the Ravens' offense in 2011 and the likelihood that QB Joe Flacco, who was not a happy camper after the season when the Ravens decided to fire QB coach Jim Zorn, will have more leeway entering his fourth season.
"Joe has been at the facility a lot," John Harbaugh said of his starting QB. "He did a lot more last year (on his own) than people think, and he'll have a bigger role this year. Joe is a highly intelligent, very conscientious guy who also is really in tune with our defense and special teams. He's capable of being very creative, and he's a big strong guy, who will only will get stronger."
John Harbaugh said the Ravens will look to employ more of a wide-open "quick game" offense.
He also filled the room with laughter when asked to talk about the growing number of head coaches, like himself, who previously worked under Eagles head coach Andy Reid.
"Andy is an amazing guy," John Harbaugh said. "It's incredible what he's done. People talk about the Mike Holmgren tree. Now Andy's got his own tree growing.
"Maybe some day we will all have our own trees with lots of branches. I already have Rex Ryan, and that is one big, sturdy branch!"

The Neustrelitz site of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is approximately 100km north of Berlin in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and is the workplace of about 60 scientists, engineers and clerical staff. The R&D work carried out on-site covers themes such as surveillance of the earth by satellite, and navigation; a profile which aligns the site with others in the GMES and GALILEO European research programmes.
There are no events for the selected time-range.
For ten days, 74 scientists and tourists were trapped in the Antarctic on board the Russian Akademik Shokalskiy research vessel. Strong winds had driven ice floes into a bay, blocking the ship's advancement.

We don't usual fly in the day of the cruise but with this being a short one we did just that. At The Orlando Airport you will have to go to Level 1 where you will find the desk for Carnival just past car rentals, checking in we were told the bus would be there in 20 minutes just outside, and it was.
Once we left the airport it was only about 50 minutes to get to the port. This wasn't bad but when you arrive, if your traveling with someone whose handicapped you just need to ask a porter, and they will get someone to assist you. This we did not know and my Wife who can not walk long distances had to walk. It was only after the fact did we find this out. Embarkation went very smooth and we were on The Sensation by 1130AM heading for lunch on the lido deck.
The Sensation is holding up very well despite her age we did find many workers cleaning painting through out the cruise. Now the problems The Sensation is and can be very hard to maneuver a wheel chair around.So just beware, the one thing i did find was that to get to The Serenity area there is a ramp but you have to go through Plaza Aft Lounge, that is if you have someone in a wheelchair, i did not know this until we went exploring. The rest of the ship is what i like to call Carnival's WOW FACTOR yes it is true the ship will have you singing Purple Rain. I mean the ship is very PURPLE. We also found out they DO NOT sell future cruise certificate's on this ship there is 3 in The Carnival Fleet and this is one of them we were told TO BAD can not help you. I have our PVP looking into some way to buy one for our next cruise she told me she will let us know what happens.
Our fellow passengers well all i can say is it was kids running a muck, a lot of people whom seem to have indulge a little to much. Night time on the Lido we witnessed kids just running all over the place and no SERCURITY no ADULTS to supervise. The food was typical Carnival from the lunch to the dinner all around it was good. Our cabin was on Main deck we were port side 4 back from the middle elevator's and the noise was not to bad. John our steward did a excellent job he even came u to tell he was short on towels and we would have them in the afternoon, he kept hie promise.
Well to sum it up it was not a bad cruise The Fantasy Class of ships is a little confusing if you have not been on one. Trying to push a wheel chair around one is a battle in itself, and if you want to get into a lounge you better go super early, oh yes they have spots marked for the handicapped, but they fill up fast with just regular people, and when you asked them to move the just look at you. Three days is just not enough i would not mind doing another Fantasy Class but it is going to be 4 days or more

Earlier this year, a law professor concluded that because of high debt loads and a bleak job market, nearly half of 2011 law school graduates can't afford to buy a home.
And last week, tax law blogger (and law grad who has written about having significant school debt) Kelly Phillips Erb wrote about selling her home and deciding to become a renter. She pointed out some faulty conceptions about the tax advantages of home ownership.
So this week, we'd like to ask you: Do you own your home? If yes, why? If you rent or have another sort of living arrangement, do you aspire to one day own a home, or do you think there are better ways to invest one's money?
Answer in the comments.

NELSPRUIT, South Africa (AP) -- Togo advanced to the quarterfinals of the African Cup of Nations for the first time at the expense of Tunisia with a controversy-filled 1-1 tie Wednesday night.
South African referee Daniel Bennett was the focus of attention, awarding two questionable penalty kicks to Tunisia and turning down several pleas by both teams for spot kicks.
Tunisia's Khaled Mouelhi converted a penalty kick in the 30th minute but hit an upright with the second in the 78th, a miss that cost his team a place in the quarterfinals. Serge Gakpe scored for Togo in the 13th minute.
Ivory Coast (2-0-1) won Group D with seven points following a 2-2 tie with already eliminated Algeria (0-2-1). Togo and Tunisia were both 1-1-1, and Togo advanced because of a better goal difference, plus-1 to minus-2.
At Rustenburg, Algeria build a 2-0 lead on Sofiane Feghouli's penalty kick in the 64th minute and Hilal Soudani's goal off a header in the 70th. Didier Drogba, returning from a one-game layoff, scored on a header in the 77th and Bony Wilfried tied it three minutes later.
Algeria's Ryad Boudebouz failed to convert a penalty kick seven minutes in.
Ghana meets Cape Verde, and South Africa hosts Mali in Saturday's quarterfinals, followed Sunday by Ivory Coast-Nigera and Burkina Faso-Togo.

Orioles ignore clouds, celebrate
Festivities kick off Opening Day as Baltimore welcomes fans
BALTIMORE -- The Orioles welcomed a capacity crowd to their refurbished home on Monday, when they celebrated Opening Day on an overcast afternoon at Camden Yards. Baltimore showed off the stadium's new scoreboards and introduced its team to the paying public in a raucous pregame celebration that kicked off the 2008 season.
The proceedings began with a brief message from MASN studio host Jim Hunter, who emceed the Opening Day festivities from the grass in front of the pitcher's mound. Hunter, who wore a tuxedo with a bright orange bowtie, narrated the early action and later introduced the entire cast of characters from Baltimore and Tampa Bay.
"It was better than what I expected," said manager Dave Trembley, who was presiding over his first season opener. "It was Opening Day. It doesn't get much better than that.
The day began with a video tribute, setting the tone for the afternoon and for the season. After that was done, Hunter introduced the players and coaches from Tampa Bay, who lined up on the infield between second and third base. The Orioles unleashed a brief burst of fireworks, and then Hunter prepared to announce the home team's particulars.
First came the support staff, who ran out of the dugout and lined up between first and second base. Then came the bench players, who ran in from center field over an orange carpet.
Finally, Hunter announced Baltimore's starting lineup, and the largest ovations were reserved for leadoff man Brian Roberts -- who spent his offseason dealing with trade rumors -- and center fielder Adam Jones.
"I wasn't as nervous as I thought I was going to be," said Jones. "Once my name was called and I ran down the carpet, it was total relaxation for me."
Once all the introductions were over, the Orioles brought out some special guests. Hank Peters, the general manager of Baltimore's last World Series team, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. And Rick Dempsey, former Baltimore catcher and the Most Valuable Player of the 1983 World Series, caught the ball a few feet in front of home plate.
The Orioles also brought out an honor guard from all five branches of the military and draped a huge American flag over the batter's eye in center field. Baltimore officials asked for a moment of silence right before the national anthem, and American tenor Richard Troxell delivered his version of the Star Spangled Banner for the sixth straight season.

Alex Rios is an approximately $17 million dollar insurance policy. The suspension of Nelson Cruz for 50 games left a gap in the lineup for the Rangers, having been filled by some platooned combination of our stable of outfielders.
Jon Daniels played a game of relatively low-stakes poker through the waiver claim process – knowing that Rios' contract paid him slightly more than his worth, and knowing that spending that much money on an older outfielder was probably not part of the game plan for the "reloading" White Sox.
To be honest, the White Sox are closer to rebuilding than they are to being a few pieces from legitimately contending next year.
So what did we get?
A plus defender and baserunner with a bat that will probably be more consistent but less powerful than that of Nelson Cruz. Something can be said towards the value of having low variance with a position player.
Minus a couple puzzling anomalous years, Rios has been a fairly consistent producer even if he is aging a bit. Rios figures to actually end up being more valuable to the Rangers down the stretch than Nelson Cruz probably would have been.
Also, with the possibility of Cruz returning for the playoffs, you have to like a lineup that features Cruz periodically at the DH, particularly if our eggs are residing in the Berkman/second catcher basket.
I'll remind you of the importance of not playing a catcher in the DH spot by recalling the Rangers' one-game playoff last year, when Ron Washington opted to play Michael Young at first base instead of Mike Napoli. When the Rangers needed to pinch hit for Soto, they had to take designated hitter Napoli and put him in the field, meaning the Rangers lost the DH and the pitcher would either have to hit or have a pinch hitter in the lineup. Why Michael Young was in the field over Napoli, even disregarding this nuance of the game, is beyond me.
A playoff plan cannot rely on a catcher in the designated hitter spot. It also can't rely on a platooned approach to practically your entire outfield on a nightly basis. Not because playing splits is a poor idea but because platoon situations typically happen when you don't have a player that's an unquestionable starter.
Rios is an everyday right fielder and he will make the Rangers better, albeit at the cost of a slightly overpaid contract and the loss of a utility infielder in Leury Garcia, who was probably never going to see consistent time on the field in a Rangers uniform. If Rios' spectacular two game introduction to Rangers fandom is any indication, then he should fit right in.
Suddenly, a team that was impatiently waiting in the five items or fewer line to purchase its own grave-digging shovel decided that all that talk was a bit premature.
Rangers fans – thank Jon Daniels for his patience and prudence at the trade deadline and after. In a market that is still adjusting to a revised CBA that eliminates one of the major benefits of trading for a rental player (draft pick compensation) and an extra wild-card spot, the sellers did nothing short of losing their minds. The White Sox undoubtedly had better offers for Rios on the table before the non-waiver deadline but their misreading of the trade market led to a coup for the Rangers.
That doesn't happen without the brain trust of Jon Daniels and Thad Levine – the same two men responsible for making DFW care about baseball.
I like caring about baseball.

The Buccaneers will be without two offensive players as they fight for a playoff bid next week against the Saints.
FB Earnest Graham and WR Arrelious Benn were both injured in the team's Week 16 win over the Seahawks. Graham left the game with a neck injury when Seahawks LB Aaron Curry hit him in the back of the helmet in the second quarter. The Bucs said it was not a concussion, but the injury is "week-to-week."
Benn, a rookie, injured his knee in the second quarter and left the game. The Bucs placed him on injured reserve.
For the season, Graham has a rushing and receiving touchdown along with 229 total yards. Benn is third on the team with 395 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
The way we see it
Benn had a slow start to the season, playing in the shadow of fellow rookie Mike Williams, but had come on of late. He had a 4-122 receiving game against the Redskins. Expect to see more of Micheal Spurlock and Sammie Stroughter with Benn out Sunday. Graham is a reliable fullback who gets plenty of touches, so that would be a tough loss for the Bucs' backfield.

Some cheerful news to follow up on a horrible story: Southern Miss linebacker Martez Smith, one of three players shot outside a nightclub in Hattiesburg in mid-November, received his college diploma over the weekend. Paralyzed form the waist down since the incident, Smith was wheeled across the stage to a standing ovation:
"Nothing in the world could stop me from being there to get my diploma," Smith said Thursday. "That's been one of my goals for a long, long time."
Football is not currently an option for Smith, but he's still very much a part of the team, and will be traveling with the Golden Eagles to watch them take on Louisville in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl:
"I'd be at that game if I had to roll myself all the way down there," Smith said, smiling.
A reporter mentioned that it's a 726-mile trip, shortest route.
"Then, I'll need to get an early start," Smith said.
Smith and teammates Deddrick Jones and Tim Green, were all shot during a scuffle outside Remington's Hunt Club on November 13. Five days later, a man named Travis Brown was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault. As of last week, he's still cooling his heels in jail, along with five other suspects arrested in connection with the incident.
All three players have since been discharged from the hospital. Green can't speak after being shot in the throat, but Fedora says he expects he'll be able to play again, as will Jones.

The Milwaukee Brewers all but dashed the Pittsburgh Pirates' postseason hopes on Wednesday night by defeating them 3-1 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
The Brewers got superb starting pitching for the second straight night, as Marco Estrada threw seven impressive shut out innings, surrendering only three hits while striking out four. He also walked a batter.
Norichika Aoki led off the game by pulling a towering home run into the right field seats. The Brewers would tack on another in the fifth inning when Jean Segura led off with a double and came home on an Estrada single. Segura again led off and scored in the seventh inning, ringing a triple into right field and scoring on an error.
Pirates starter Kyle McPherson lasted only 4⅓ innings, giving up seven hits and two earned runs. Andrew McCutchen led off the ninth inning with a home run, but it was too little too late.
The win keeps the Brewers close in the race for the second National League Wild Card, as they came into the game only 2½ games behind the St. Louis Cardinals. The Pirates, however, are now an even .500 at 74-74 and looking up at the Brewers, Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers with less than two weeks left in the season. The loss means the Pirates are officially eliminated from the National League Central.

Despite super storm Sandy's best efforts to make it a wash-out, attendees of Customer Engagement Technology World carried on with a "show must go on" attitude appropriate for New York on Nov. 7 and 8. CETW is a bi-annual industry event focused on leveraging the integration of emerging media technology across multiple channels to activate customer engagement.
I was privileged to be asked by the Digital Screenmedia Association to chair a discussion titled Social Media, Kiosks and Mobile: Omni-channel Convergence to Maximize Customer Engagement. Our panel consisted of Greg Clore, vice president of information technology at restaurant and entertainment company Dave & Buster's Inc.; Cory Keen, retail programs, kiosk and mobility technology manager at retailer Cabela's Inc.; and Ray Rotolo, COO at out-of-home advertising company Posterscope.
The overriding theme of our discussion was that businesses skillfully embracing mobile, kiosks, and social media are the ones focused not on stand-alone engagement but cohesive customer experience. To the extent that we can deliver as a point of purchase industry not only to brand and retailer objectives but to the positive experience of the consumer we can be partners in building loyalty.
The omni-channel strategy tracks customers across all channels. All shopping channels work from the same retailer database of products, pricing, promotions, and engagements. As Wikipedia says best; "Instead of perceiving a variety of touch points as part of the same brand, omni-channel retailers let consumers experience the brand, not a channel within a brand. Merchandise and promotions are not channel specific, but rather consistent across all retail channels."
Greg Clore's presentation illustrated how Dave & Buster's uses guest-facing technologies that not only communicate their product and services but also deliver on the excitement of the Dave & Buster's brand. Their multiple channels include a website, kiosks, digital signage, self-service POS, an online digital guide, and numerous ways to engage via mobile and social media.
The central theme that Greg has integrated into Dave & Buster's guest experience is the use of technology-enhanced engagement — not just multichannel touch points. Dave & Buster's has focused on the omni-channel engagement of the guest's personal experience integrated through Dave & Buster's loyalty program, power cards and experience redemptions in the restaurant and entertainment venue. The experience is enabled by the customer when they want it, where they want it and the way they want it. Launching this week will be the new mobile wallet where customers can register powercards, credit cards, Dave & Buster's location services and guest-selected promotions.
Cory Keen addressed Cabela's strategy of becoming "channel-less." Cabela's brand experience has one face — because customers expect one look and feel — but access across multiple channels. The retailer has empowered customers to do channel-less shopping with mobile apps that include bar code scanning and enable pricing transparency, online ordering through in-store kiosks and an order online/pick-up in store service.
Cabela's is a leader in instituting corporate commitment to the omni-channel message of consistency across all channels and finding ways to remove the "silos mentality" through inter-department communication and collaboration. This orientation begins at the core engagement point. The in-store outfitters are empowered to match prices and create an omni-channel consistency to meet the demands of the Cabela's customer. Their strategy encompasses empowered outfitters, price transparency between channels and corporate training for omni-channel development.
Keen acknowledged that customer expectations are "growing extremely fast." It is essential to keep taking a pulse through their voice of the customer survey. Cabela's has implemented mobility feedback and studies for multiple mobile platforms that will allow their loyal customers a readily available forum.
Ray Rotolo of Posterscope noted that people are connected to their devices, but they are also members of "dynamic connected cultures" through their social interactions. Thus, the drivers of the out-of-home business are both supply-side innovation through mobile and digital technologies and demand-side adoption by consumers.
This industry dynamic is creating new demands and opportunities for brands and media owners in four key dimensions:
Consumers are forming relationships with those retailers who not only understand the technology but are using it to meet their rapidly evolving consumer expectations in a consistent and satisfying way. There is room for a finite number of close relationships with brands and retailers in our fluid lives and those who embrace convergence have a better chance of being on the winning end.
Kudos to CETW and the DSA for facilitating this movement!

Warning to Otley businesses over fake bank notes after man pays with counterfeit money
2:40pm Friday 7th February 2014 in Local news By Jim Jack, Reporter
Businesses in Otley are being warned to be on the lookout for counterfeit money.
The warning comes after a man passed on a fake £20 note at The Old Grammar School Gallery on the morning of Friday, February 7.
Gallery owner Zack Whitehead posted the photograph above of the note after spotting it wasn't genuine a few hours later.
Mr Whitehead said the person who had handed over the £20 was an "older man" who seemed to distract one of his employees on the cash register as he was paying.

RIP dear Ira. Thank you for all the love and compassion you modeled to me as a teen and upwards as I made it through life's trevails as a peace pilgrim. You served as a fine example of love and service and I will not forget you either. I am truly blessed to have known you.

Such a wonderful man, I'll never forget his kindness and generosity to me.

I met Ira in 1956 and was persuaded by his gentle, lively spirit to examine the handy beliefs of the times. His eyes sparkled as he went on about Gandhi, nonviolence,and the value of a vegetarian diet. We were very fortunate to have him in our community for so many years. May Ira's spirit and values enliven us always.

Whisenhunt on job status: 'I control what I can control'
The organization hasn't been shy about letting go of a head coach following an embarrassing defeat. After Arizona was routed 48-7 by the Dallas Cowboys back in October 2000, team president Bill Bidwill and general manager Bob Ferguson fired head coach Vince Tobin a day later and replaced him with defensive coordinator Dave McGinnis.
While Whisenhunt didn't suffer the same fate Monday, he was asked about his job status and the relationship he has with team management.
"I've talked to Michael [Bidwill] every day," Whisenhunt said. "We talk about all kinds of things. You know I control what I can control.
"Like I said, I understand this business and I have a job to do. I feel disappointed we haven't done it."
With their loss on Sunday, the Cardinals have now been eliminated from postseason contention for the third consecutive year. And while Whisenhunt built up plenty of goodwill within the organization after leading the Cardinals to back-to-back division titles in 2008 and 2009, that seems like an afterthought these days in the midst of a nine-game losing streak.
Although it would be easy for the Cardinals coach to deflect the negative attention he and his woeful team have garnered around the Valley in recent weeks, Whisenhunt admitted Monday that the fans deserve better.
"My greatest disappointment is for our fans," said Whisenhunt. "They've been so good to me and to us. I feel like I've let them down from not being able to do what we wanted to do."
After the 2012 season, Whisenhunt still has one year remaining on his current contract for $5.5 million.
In 93 games as Arizona's head coach, Whisenhunt is 44-49.

We're pleased to inform you that the 23rd Street elevator has reopened to the public as of June 27.
During Hurricane Sandy, salt water from the Hudson River surged to 10th Avenue, completely flooding the underground vault below the High Line that powers the elevator. The extensive damage caused by the salt water necessitated a full rebuild of the elevator's systems. The elevator's new, upgraded systems will bring improved and more reliable service to the public.
The elevator's reconstruction process was a top priority for Friends of the High Line and the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, and Friends of the High Line will continue to monitor the elevator's to address any further performance issues as quickly as possible.
We are grateful for your support, assistance, guidance, and patience through the elevator's reconstruction.
Due to anticipated crowds near the High Line for NYC Pride, the park will close at 6:00 PM on Sunday, June 29, in cooperation with the New York City Police Department and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.
Regular park hours will resume on Monday, June 30.
We're celebrating the beginning of summer with two evenings of free live music in the park.
Join us on Saturday, June 21, for a free bluegrass concert. From 5:00 to 8:00 PM, a fantastic lineup of bluegrass bands will jam in the 14th Street Passage. See our calendar listing for details.
