METAIRIE, La. – Three months ago, Saints general manager Mickey Loomis sat in the stands of Mobile's Ladd-Peebles Stadium and answered questions about quarterback Drew Brees, saying if a deal didn't get done with the Pro Bowl quarterback, he should be out of a job.
But hours before the first round of the NFL Draft, Loomis and the Saints had yet to come to an agreement with Brees.
And with all due respect to the bounty and eavesdropping scandals, Loomis said one thing looms bigger for the franchise.
"I recognize that the most important issue facing the New Orleans Saints is getting Drew Brees under contract," Loomis said.
He added, "I get that this is the most important contract I've negotiated."
So, does that mean a deal is imminent?
Likely not, but Loomis hopes soon rather than later.
"Tomorrow or maybe an hour from now," he said. "That would be a good first-round pick for us instead of just sitting there all night."
The Saints and Brees are still millions of dollars apart in coming to terms on a contract that would keep the quarterback in New Orleans for years.
Loomis appeared confident, however, that a deal will get finished. He understands, he said, that this isn't the normal negotiation.
"Drew has earned the right to negotiate this contract," Loomis said. "I respect that. It's a personal issue for any player, their contract, and it's more of a business issue for me and I've got to balance those things here because really, I consider Drew a good friend, not just the quarterback of our team."
For much of this offseason, the volume of fans' discontent with Loomis has grown exponentially, at least in regard to not getting Brees signed.
Loomis, though, had a message for those worried that this will spiral out of control.
"My goal and Drew's goals are the same," Loomis said. "It's to get him a contract that he feels good about and gives our team the best opportunity to compete for a championship. It will get done."

Research Strategy and Background Information
Unless you are familiar with the historical information of a region it is a good idea to get background information on your topic first. Books often provide this information so a search in Oskicat for general works is usually worth it.
You will find more detailed information in peer-reviewed journal articles (see below). Rather than looking on the web for a project, see if you can a related article first using the databases listed below. Then if you wish you can search for primary sources (see next page) for detailed descriptions and outcomes of the project as provided by the actual organizations or participants.
Poverty Intervention Databases
A secondary source is a work that interprets or analyzes an event or phenomenon. It is generally at least one step removed from the event and is often based on primary sources. Below are selected databases indexing the literature (books, articles, reports, government documents, etc) relevant to the three "problem spaces" for this assignment. See also the sections on publishers in the field of poverty as well as highly cited journals in poverty and development.

On Monday, Sergio Aguero announced via his official website that he wanted a move away from his current club, Atletico Madrid. The 22 year old striker indicated that the move wasn't based on a desire for more money, but it was simply a "sporting decision." In other words, he wants a chance at top-class football, something that Atleti, who finished seventh in La Liga this season, won't be able to provide.
Despite the fact that almost everyone with any knowledge about Serie A is aware of the fact that Juventus could never afford Aguero, the announcement that he wants away from Atletico once again fired up the rumors that the Old Lady would be pursuing the Argentine. Juventus have met with Aguero's agent, but considering his price tag, it's more likely that Chelsea, Liverpool, or Real Madrid will end up with the player. With Jose Mourinho intent on outdoing Roberto Mancini for the world's strongest bench, it seems most likely that Aguero will end up across the city.

With ubiquity comes a measure of uniformity -- such is the plight of the modern Web browser.
True, subtle differences in features, flexibility, and performance set some browsers ahead of the pack for particular uses. For the most part, however, sucking down text and rendering HTML, even as the breadth of computing activity in the browser has increased, make most browsing experiences similar, regardless of the frame in which you surf.
[ Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera, or Safari: Find out which browser offers the perfect balance of features, speed, innovation, and flexibility for you | InfoWorld's expert contributors show you how to secure your Web browsers in this Web Browser Security Deep Dive PDF guide. ]
Enter the browser hack -- mechanisms by which users can customize their Web experience and tweak the performance of their browser of choice. All the major browsers make such customizations easy, though each employs a different mechanism and uses different labels for each one. For Internet Explorer, they're add-ons; for Opera, widgets; on Chrome, extensions will do the trick, as they will on Safari; Firefox is so open that you can customize your experience via add-ons, extensions, jetpacks, personas, plug-ins, and themes.
What's great about these additional blocks of code and images is that they're usually packaged for easy installation. In most cases, one click starts the process. And there's little reason to worry about the mechanism itself. The process works smoothly -- most of the time.
Anyone looking to make their browser faster, more functional, or just plain prettier can do so by following these seven steps to a richer Web experience.
Step 1 to a better Web browser: Know your platform
Browsers differ greatly in their openness to being improved. Among the first to open up its API, Firefox still offers the most complete API for programmers to navigate, boasting the widest variety of add-ons. Apple, on the other hand, opened up Safari only recently. As such, far fewer options for customizing Safari are available.
Depth of access plays a significant role in developers' ability to customize browsers as well, as plug-in developer Jason Barnabe notes.

The controversial Keystone oil pipeline now has Nebraska's approval to build. Gov. Dave Heineman has put his signature on a letter to the president, saying it avoids the environmentally-sensitive Sandhills region of Nebraska.
Heineman said Tuesday, "It comes down to three issues - energy independence... economic impact... very, very critical is environmental impact."
Governor Dave Heineman says the 195 mile Keystone XL pipeline route through Nebraska passes the three point test he set.
"It's clear to me it has a positive economic impact in terms of jobs in Nebraska and America," he said.
The long-term economic impact is disputed, since most jobs are for construction.
According to Kleeb, Heineman "approved the pipeline route that crosses the aquifer after he asked Obama to deny the route that crossed the Aquifer. Heineman also turns his back on landowners and citizens who asked for an unbiased review of the risks of this pipeline. President Obama is our only hope now. It is clear given what Pres. Obama said about climate change yesterday that Heineman did not want to be on the same side as Obama. It is a shame when a politician these days can't cross party line even to stand up for our water and family farmers and ranchers."
On environmental issues, Heineman said "impacts on aquifers from a release should be localized and Keystone would be responsible for any cleanup."
The governor said the project avoids "fragile soils" and "shallow groundwater".
According to the governor, Keystone would have to develop an Emergency Response Plan.
"In the event of a spill, appropriate authorities would have timely access to product characteristics," Heineman wrote in his letter.
The pipeline has been a source of controversy, but Heineman said, "the concerns of Nebraskans have had a major influence on the pipeline route, the mitigation commitments, and this evaluation."
Prior to construction, Keystone would be required to test domestic and livestock wells within 300 feet of the route. There would also be an independent public employee to act as a liaison between the pipeline company and landowners. Keystone would also have to carry $200 million in third party liability insurance to cover costs for any incidents in Nebraska.
Others praised the Governor's approval, including Americans for Prosperity-Nebraska.
Brad Stevens of the group said, "We applaud Gov. Heineman for taking leadership on a project that will grow our economy in an environmentally sensitive way. The only remaining obstacle between this project and putting thousands of Americans back to work is a Presidential permit. We encourage President Obama to follow our governor's lead and approve this important project without delay."

Rock House – Greenwood, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Greenwood County Photos | Rock House
This page is temporarily under construction – 10.31.13/11.01.13. In the meantime, you can learn more about Rock House here in this excellent article.
Legends surrounding the silent and solitary Rock House run as thick as the woods around it. Located deep in the shadows of Rock House Road in rural Greenwood County, the fireproof building was constructed entirely from stone, concrete, glass, and steel. The now crumbling fortress is accessible only by foot, and no one has ever lived inside its walls.
Although it stands on private property, its mystery and ominous edifice seem to invite intruders. Vandalism and theft have ravaged the home. Its walls are covered in graffiti, and its once graceful interior has been torn apart. The circular iron staircase was stolen years ago, and visitors are now greeted by a gaping hole in the ceiling. Daredevils unwilling to be thwarted reach the second and third floors by climbing the walls. Shreds of paneling and shards of tile lie in dust on the floor.
Local lore claims its builder once lost his family in a fire, or that the owner's wife died inside the home so he could not bear to stay. The real story of Rock House, however, is as interesting as either of these tales.

For The Herald Bulletin
— Brain Drain: Is modern media making us dumber?
A couple of weeks ago, I rather playfully wrote about multitasking, our new habit of doing more than one thing at the same time. In our fast-moving world, a primary contributor to our felt need to simultaneously manage various tasks is largely a by-product of modern media, particularly television and the Internet.
The impact of multitasking, however, is not child's play. It is a manifestation of powerful, commercially driven communication technologies that, although it may sound counter-intuitive, inhibit meaningful communication, foster isolation, and, arguably, make us dumber. How, you may wonder, can this be
After all, never before have people had so much access to such a wide variety of information literally at the tip of their fingers. However, it is this very fact — the flood of information available to us — that is negatively affecting how we think.
Years ago, it was called "information overload." Although this term is rarely used these days, it is entirely appropriate. We have so much information available to us that our brains cannot possibly process it. For over half a millennium, since the invention of the printing press, the written word — books, for example — have been the primary means of recording, storing and retrieving information. Now, however, it's the screen
I am reminded of a book written some decades ago called "The Medium is the Message," by Marshall McLuhan. Although McLuhan had both ardent admirers and harsh critics, his argument that electronic media, specifically television, was a threat to literacy is still quite valid
The argument, in a nutshell, is that it is not what is on television that is important, but the fact that you have one (probably more today!) in your house. To put a more current spin on it, the whole business of PG, PG-14, and other such ratings suggests that television content is more important than television as a new technology.
The technology itself, not the programs, changed the way millions of people gathered and interpreted information. It moved the more or less objective, active process of reading (critical thinking) to the more passive process of simply subjective, uncritical believing.
Today, most observers of modern media and its impact on the mind tend to agree with McLuhan. Of course, McLuhan's ideas have taken on greater relevancy with the advent and explosion of computer technologies that have brought us the Internet.
In a new book called "The Shallows," the widely renowned writer and media critic, Nicholas Carr, says: "After 550 years, the printing press and its products are being pushed from the center of our intellectual life to its edges. Now the mainstream is being diverted, quickly and decisively, into a new channel. ... The pathways in our brains are once again being rerouted."
He goes on to say: "[The Net] is becoming our typewriter and our printing press, our map and our clock, our calculator and our telephone, our post office and our library, our radio and our TV. ... We don't see the forest when we search the Web. We don't even see the trees. We see twigs and leaves."
With regard to the notion of rerouting the brain, Carr and others note that our increased dependence on electronic media actually causes neurological changes in brain function. We become fascinated by isolated facts that are, for the most part, irrelevant.
We learn in bits and pieces. Rather than read deeply, we skim. We gather information for an immediate purpose, then just as immediately, forget it. Our marvelous brain neurologically re-configures itself to manage the inane.
Beyond this, it is argued that we lose our ability for concentration, contemplation, imagination, problem-solving, critical thinking, and empathy. We're too busy multitasking. As Clifford Nass writes, "multitaskers are suckers for irrelevancy. Everything distracts them."
It is a sad irony that today's powerful communications technologies, holding so much information and so much promise, rather than bringing us together, appear to be driving us apart. Instead of bringing us more fully into enlightened conversation, we are being isolated and fascinated with trivia.
It is unclear to me whether or not, in the future, these changes will prove to be beneficial to mankind. It is possible. Right now, however, it doesn't seem likely. A tsunamic brain drain is underway, and it appears there is no way to stop it. Are we getting smarter and dumber at the same time?
Have a nice day.

CROWN POINT — Repairs to Crown Point's storm-damaged Knapp Senior Citizens Center should start shortly.
The Crown Point Town Council recently awarded the contract for the work to the lowest bidder, John Hayes Contracting, for $23,600.
The other bid was from John Marshall for $30,000, according to town minutes.
The Senior Citizens Center, located on Main Street, was damaged by a windstorm earlier this year. Trees were uprooted and toppled onto the building, also known as Town Hall No. 2, during the storm.
The Crown Point Methodist Church is being used as the town nutrition site for senior citizens' daily meals until the Knapp Center can be repaired.
The 2003 senior citizens van parked at the building was also damaged and was totaled out by the town's insurance company.
The town accepted a check for $7,912 as the insurance reimbursement.
Town Supervisor Charles Harrington said the town will use the money to repair the van and put it back on the road. He said he believed that could be done for about $1,200, so the excess settlement could be used for other work.
Also at the meeting, the Town Council:
▶ Reappointed Sole Assessor Richard Maxwell for a six-year term.
▶ Considered paying sign designer Jason Grant $1,200 to refurbish the Crown Point welcome sign located at the north entrance to the town on Route 9N/22.
▶ Reappointed Doug Woods to the Town Board of Assessment Review for a five-year term. A motion to instead advertise the vacancy had failed.

Derrick Rose scored a game-high 45 points and the Chicago Bulls overcame a six-point halftime deficit to beat the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night, 96-91. It didn't come easy for the Bulls, who took over in the third quarter, then had to hang on as the Sixers tried to rally in the fourth.
Rose was all over the place in the second half, scoring in bunches and hitting shots from all over the court. He was money down the stretch, also draining two buzzer beaters in the second and third quarters.
And there was this, which basically sealed the game with under a minute to go in the fourth.
The Sixers made it interesting, though, cutting the lead to two with 15 seconds to go. After Tajh Gibson hit one-of-two free throws, Philly had one last chance to tie the game in regulation.
However, a disaster of a last play, that involved a player hitting the deck while trying to cut and an Andre Iguodala three-point attempt over two Bulls, ended harmlessly. Iguodala's three hit glass and nothing else -- he also airballed a three earlier -- and Joakhim Noah sealed the game at the line.
Noah finished with a double-double, scoring 11 points and grabbing 18 rebounds. Rose added eight assists to go with his game-high 35 points. Thaddeus Young led the way for the Sixers, scoring 17 points off the bench. Elton Brand, Nicola Vucevic and Iguodala each added 14 points for the Sixers in the loss.

Bumphrey and Smith bag two goals apiece for Cirencester's reserves
11:46am Tuesday 20th November 2012 in Sport
Uhlsport Hellenic Div 2 West.
Cirencester Town Dev 5 Brimscombe & Thrupp Res 2.
Ciren came out of the blocks like Usain Bolt to create chance after chance in the opening exchanges.
However, they fell behind in the tenth minute after a long ball from the back was raced on to by a Brimscombe forward, who slotted it past Harry Ellis in the Cirencester goal.
Ciren responded by pushing even harder and the pressure paid off in the 29th minute when Shane Bumphrey and Jack Smith played a lovely one-two before Bumphrey smashed the ball into the back of the net.
In the second half, Josh Morse was running rampant down the wing and in the 61st minute one of his crosses was back-heeled by Smith into the net. Jack almost got his second from another Morse cross but headed just wide.
Smith turned provider on 69 minutes when he set up Bumphrey to make it 3–1.
Roberts came on to replace Morse and had an almost immediate impact when he passed to Bumphrey who, in turn, pushed it through for Smith to get his second.
It is to the credit of Brimscombe that they didn't give up and they managed to get a second goal on 83 minutes when a cross was deflected past Ellis.
Roberts and Smith then combined to set up Tim Bond for the fifth goal in the 89th minute.
MoM: Kyle Pitts.

Upward of 12,000 people attended the University of Maine's 211th Commencement at Harold Alfond Sports Arena May 11 and heard remarks by alumnus Lawrence Bender, the producer of films that have won a total of six Academy Awards.®
This academic year, 1,665 students — 1,333 undergraduate and 332 graduate students — earned degrees from UMaine.
A 10 a.m. ceremony was held for graduates in the College of Business, Public Policy and Health; the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; the College of Education and Human Development; and the Division of Lifelong Learning. Graduates in the College of Engineering and the College of Natural Sciences, Forestry, and Agriculture were recognized at a 2:30 p.m. ceremony.
UMaine President Paul Ferguson, who presided over the ceremonies, encouraged the students to invest their talent, success and great achievements in enriching the world and improving the quality of life of those around them. The hope, he said, is that the students' experiences and education at UMaine have inspired them to dare and to "achieve greatly."
"You can be confident that your UMaine education represents the very best of Maine and that you, in turn, represent the very best of Maine," Ferguson said. "It is with great pride that I remind you that UMaine is now forever a part of your identity, just as you are the legacy of the University of Maine."
UMaine awarded an honorary degree to film producer Lawrence Bender, whose noteworthy projects such as "Inglourious Basterds," "Pulp Fiction" and "Good Will Hunting" have been honored with 29 Academy Award® nominations, including three for Best Picture. His film, "An Inconvenient Truth," which raised unprecedented awareness about climate change, won the Academy Award® for Best Documentary Feature.
In his remarks, which included a standing ovation, Bender said he would not have the life he lives today if not for his University of Maine experience, and he urged the students to find success through consistent hard work and persistence.
"How can you achieve greatness? I would say three basic things," said Bender, who graduated from UMaine in 1979 with a degree in civil engineering. "One, you must find your passion. Two, failure must be a possibility. And three, never give up, especially when you are failing."
"The ability to allow yourself to fail is the ability to allow yourself to go full on and to break boundaries. Many times it's only by failing that you find the real truth. And this is not esoteric, this is basic to the heart of all entrepreneurism."
Other Commencement speakers included students Emma Burgess Roy of Auburn, Maine, a graduating senior in international affairs, with a concentration in women's studies; and Lindsay LaJoie of Van Buren, Maine, a graduating senior in food science and human nutrition.
LaJoie is the 2013 salutatorian. The 2013 valedictorian is Spencer Hathaway of Turner, Maine, who received two bachelor's degrees — economics and business administration in accounting.
Also honored at Commencement, as well as at a Faculty Appreciation and Recognition Luncheon today, were four faculty members in physics, insect ecology, finance and computer science. Professor of Physics Robert Lad, director of UMaine's Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology is the 2013 Distinguished Maine Professor, an award presented by the University of Maine Alumni Association in recognition of outstanding achievement in the university's mission of teaching, research and public service.
Professor of Insect Ecology Francis "Frank" Drummond is the 2013 Presidential Research and Creative Achievement Award recipient. This year's Presidential Outstanding Teaching Award recipient is Professor of Finance Richard Borgman. Professor of Computer Science George Markowsky is the recipient of the Presidential Public Service Achievement Award.
University of Maine System Board of Trustees members Samuel Collins and retired Adm. Gregory Johnson, a UMaine alumnus, delivered greetings from the board in the morning and afternoon sessions, respectively.
Alumna Samantha Lott Hale, chair of the University of Maine Alumni Association Board of Directors, welcomed the new graduates to the ranks of the more than 105,000 University of Maine alumni worldwide.

A version of this article appears in the MAKE's special issue on the Ultimate Workshop.
How do we give more opportunities to young people to become makers and learn practical skills that can be applied to their own creative projects? The question comes up for me after each Maker Faire when I see how young people are inspired by other makers. I know they go home and want to start making things themselves. Unfortunately, many potential makers go to schools that do not offer, in school or after school, the opportunity to begin making things. One thing they lack is a physical space to meet, a space that can be organized with tools and supplies, so they can work on projects.
At World Maker Faire in NY, I saw a solution to the problem of creating a makerspace in or near a school or other places in our community. Shelter 2.0 is an effort (by ?) to develop a simple building to provide housing in areas that have been hit by a disaster. It's a digitally fabricated shelter that is in between a house and tent. It can be put together (and taken apart) with simple tools in a matter of hours, even by the young makers themselves.
Alice Waters pioneered getting gardens into schools in the belief that growing vegetables can connect children to the process of making food but also teaches them about healthy food. A makerspace building can be constructed and placed next to the garden, and perhaps even used by young gardeners as well to build tools.
Can we find motivated parents and local makers to begin the process of creating a space and developing programs for local kids? In complete DIY fashion. It's a barn-raising of a makerspace for a local community. It could not be more in the spirit of making that young makers begin by building their own space.
Developed by Robert Bridges working with Bill Young of ShopBot, the standard modular makerspace is 10' x 16' with a barrel-shaped roof that can be covered by canvas or corrugated tin. The plans themselves are available under a Creative Commons license and as a Google SketchUp model. So you could modify the plan and find a local ShopBot user to create the shelter yourself. Or we can provide the standard components as a package that ships in a 4×8 crate. (We are still exploring the different options for manufacturing and shipping.) All the instructions for building a makerspace will be online, along with videos that walk you through the process.
Now, you don't have to build this particular building to have a makerspace for young makers. The most important thing is to find a DIY way to create a space that young makers can use and will find enjoyable to work and play in. A space can inspire us to see making as something that takes place at school, but isn't school. It should be placed near the playground because we want our young makers to have fun and play, while making things.
Many parents (and some schools) have the resources to get a makerspace up and running themselves, and we want to make it easy for them. For those who don't have the resources, but have the commitment to make it happen, we will look for funding to underwrite all or part of a makerspace. However, it can't happen without parents as true partners.
Our goal is to build a network of makerspaces around the country (if not the world) and connect them online through makerspace.com. We can begin a process of open collaboration to define the materials, tools and other supplies that are needed, as well as identifying programs and projects that work well for young makers. We can help identify mentors locally and online who can offer safety training and teach about tool use and who can provide specialized expertise. In addition, we will develop awards for participation and achievement to recognize the accomplishments of young makers. Plus, Mini Maker Faires can be used as a local fundraiser to provide support for makerspaces and also provide an opportunity for young makers to demonstrate their projects.

From LeakyPedia
Mulciber (first name unknown) attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was sorted into Slytherin House alongside Avery and Severus Snape. Mulciber and Avery seem to have had a particular reputation for cruelty, greater even than many of those with whom they were friends (a group who according to Bartemius Crouch Jr/Mad-Eye Moody "nearly all turned out to be Death Eaters").
According to Igor Karkaroff's evidence, Mulciber specialised in the Imperius Curse, forcing "countless people to do horrific things". After Voldemort's downfall, Mulciber was imprisoned in Azkaban, which he escaped during the mass breakout of 1996. He was among the Death Eaters sent by Voldemort to fetch the prophecy concerning Harry Potter from the Department of Mysteries and fought in the ensuing battle between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix.
Re-imprisoned in Azkaban, Mulciber escaped again in 1997. It is not known whether he fought at the Battle of Hogwarts (though it may be likely), nor is it known what happened to him afterwards (whether he was killed or imprisoned, or is now 'on the loose')

About This Game
- Summary
- Features
- Game Editions
The battle of humans against an invading alien force erupts in The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, a new story and unique gameplay experience set inside one of gaming's most storied and beloved franchises. Set in 1962 at the height of the Cold War, The Bureau tells the origin story of the clandestine XCOM organization's first encounter with a mysterious and devastating enemy. Originally established as America's covert defense against the Soviet Union, The Bureau must adapt and overcome a threat unlike anything the world has faced before. As special agent William Carter, players will call the shots and pull the trigger, leading their squad of agents in the high-stakes secret war for humanity's survival. Paramount to repelling the outside threat is The Bureau's ability to cover-up the enemy's existence in order to prevent worldwide panic.
In the spirit of the XCOM franchise, The Bureau's calculated combat design requires players to think and act tactically. The game's third-person perspective gives the player a sense of spatial awareness and grants them the freedom to transition in and out Carter's unique Battle Focus ability seamlessly -- heightening the tactical shooter action. The Bureau also fully embraces the concept of permanent consequence. As our last line of defense, every command can mean the difference between life and death for Carter, his squad and mankind.
- Experience XCOM from a New Perspective: Step into the shoes of FBI agent William Carter and confront firsthand the horror, tension and fear of the unknown.
- Call the Shots and Bear the Consequences: The enemy threat is far-reaching and indiscriminate. As the man in charge, you will be tasked with deciding where and when to respond to the disturbances across the United States, and how best to use the limited resources at your disposal.

Read: Are The Rangers The Favorites In The East?
At ESPN NY, Mike Mazzeo wonders if the Rangers are the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference this season.
While answering the question, Mazzeo writes "why not." He adds "The Rangers appear to have all the ingredients needed to make a run at the Stanley Cup. They've just got to stay healthy and score consistently."
Hard to walk away from intense Rangers practice and good dressing room and not be impressed. Not a lot of holes in NY.—
Craig Custance (@CraigCustance) January 10, 2013
At Pro Hockey Talk, they wonder if Nash can put the Rangers over the top.
In the CP, the Rangers are picked to finish first in the Eastern Conference.

I was there, and I was shocked that Cheryl Cook-K put her over-sized sign in the yard of a house right across the street - facing Jerry's event. Really bad taste and does not show well for Cheryl at all.

You're right George about bad taste. However, don't forget all our PUBLIC union employees in Pleasanton are working 24/7 for her....putting our her signs, knocking on doors, passing out literature, giving her money, parking cars, blogging with lies here on PW . . . . . .no end
Are you union George, just bawling out the sign guys for being obvious and tacky?

Candy is a popular party theme because it's so fun, bright, and cheerful ... just what we needed to kick off the summer!
I found plenty of ways to create candy embellishments for the party using Fiskars tools, beginning with the invitation. This candy consists of layered circle punches for the center and a scalloped corner from the 'Broken Square' lever punch for the ends. Fold the scalloped corner in half and then accordion-fold the sides back as if you were making a paper airplane as shown. Unfold and adhere to back of circles. Adhere to card front with foam pop-up dot.
I wanted to go more 3D for the cupcake toppers. These candies are easily created by creatively cropping the XL scalloped punch and combining multiple circle pop-up punches.
Mark the center of a scalloped square. Cut from the second scallop toward the center on both sides stopping short of the marking. Trim off top and bottom with a straight line. This is the candy wrapper. Punch five circles and fold four in half. Adhere folded backs together and adhere onto wrapper centered. Adhere the final circle onto back for a finished look. Adhere to toothpicks to insert into cupcakes.
I love a dramatic backdrop for candy buffets (wrapped candies here, of course!) and food tables. I turned the traditional accordion party rosettes into oversized candies for a playful background. Begin with different sized rosettes in multiple colors (use a scoring blade in your rotary trimmer for easy, perfect folds).
Cut strips of vellum for the "wrapper" ends. Run an Upper Crust border punch along one side. Cut into 2 to 3 inch pieces and run through paper crimper. I found running the vellum through a paper crimper made it super simple to accordion fold by following the crimped design. Fold and hot glue (low temp) one side to back of candy on each side. If you would like to hang the candies instead, add another rosette onto the back to give a finished look from both sides as it turns. Otherwise, hot glue candies to a foam board covered with paper or fabric to change color if desired.
It's easy to continue the candy theme at the tablet by adding napkin "wrappers" to circular paper plates. Simply cut one edge of napkin with pinking edgers, accordion fold, and hot glue onto sides of plate. Tie on ribbon bows if desired. Sandwich wraps are a fun choice of party food to further the theme.
I used the same pinking technique to create candy-themed party favors. Wrap bottles of bubbles with colorful tissue paper and trim the edges with pinking edgers. Twist ends and secure with ribbon bows.
These candy decorations are versatile for any festive party without using the "that's a wrap" theme. It is a fun and of course "sweet" party theme!

Americans have re-elected a president who has sunk this country into the worst debt in history. This country's credit rating has been downgraded three times in four years and debt stands at $16 trillion.
Obama refuses to work with a Republican Congress and has not submitted a required budget in four years. He is a president who espouses the communist party line and has associated with known communists his whole life.
He is a president with no idea of what America stands for, being raised in Indonesia and attending Muslim schools there. He wrote in his biography that if there is a war with Muslims, he would have to side with his Muslim brothers.
He is a president who promised his followers that he would give them everything they wanted — free education, free food, free medical care and free housing.
Who voted for that man? People on welfare, people in teacher unions, government workers, illegal aliens, the Hollywood elite, gays, college students and the elite media.
He wants to appoint a woman born in Iran to be the secretary of state and John Kerry as the secretary of defense. That will not be acceptable to the military.
People who voted this travesty into office should be very ashamed. What will they tell their grandchildren when this country is no more?

By DON DARE 6 On Your Side Consumer Investigator
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - University of Tennessee students at a privately-owned, off-campus apartment complex in Knoxville are complaining of mold and mildew in their units. It's a large complex, only four years old, but apartment management claims what students see is only moisture. Molds are part of the natural environment and are usually not a problem indoors unless mold spores land on a wet or damp spot and begin growing. Environmental experts say to stop mold growth you must clean it up and fix the water problem. Nick Howard showed 6 On Your Side what he believes is mold growing in the doors and windows of his first floor apartment. "We have a lot of mold all over the window, all over the door and they're in our rooms also," Howard said.Howard is a sophomore at UT. He lives off campus at the Quarry Trail apartment complex. "We have all this mold on my window. No matter how many times I clean it, it keeps coming back," he said.
But Howard said management was not helpful on the matter.
"They checked it out and said all this condensation is from not having circulation in here. So they told us to turn the fan on," he said.Howard says people in other apartments have similar problems.
"I've noticed it since we've been here," said UT junior Andy Gray.Gray lives in a third floor apartment at the Quarry Trail complex. He says mold that grows along the window next to his bed and seems to never go away.
"There's a crack all the way up. The mold comes in from the condensation," he said.
Gray believes part of the problem is the seal is broken.
"Yes. We've noticed mold randomly around the apartment," he said.In his living room, Alex Arthur lowered the air vent and showed us what was inside."It's all mold, " he said. "It's not, it's not healthy at all."Apartment management sent its residents a flyer last week explaining the situation. Edwards Student Housing Management Company tells 6 On Your Side what residents see is moisture caused by condensation. Construction is "tighter" today and more energy efficient, they said.So the company urges residents to open window blinds, pull heavy curtains back, allowing the air to circulate, and to use ceiling fans.
"This is the first picture that she sent me on her phone one day, she said, 'Mom, do you think that is black mold?' It alarmed me," said Roseanne Jensen, whose daughter Sierra lives in the complex.Roseanne has taken pictures at different windows in the first floor apartment she rents for her daughter.
She hired an environmental specialist. His report says mold spores were in the apartment. "I first noticed it in early February. I realized my whole window had droplets all over it," Sierra said.Sierra and her roommates say once management was notified, maintenance workers cleaned the windows and doors with bleach last week. Edwards Student Housing says it takes moisture damage seriously. And, when reported, which is part of the lease agreement, it's treated like an emergency request. The company says it does not believe moisture is all that prevalent at Quarry Trail apartments. Management says Nick Howard's apartment will be treated and work order has been issued to clean Andy Gray's unit as well. Apartment management believes the flyer sent a few days ago to all its residents will help answer questions and remind residents how they, too, can assist in preventing moisture buildup which can lead to mold and mildew problems.
