Baseball handles Belmont, 11-4, in game one
March 8, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Junior Tim Brown was effective on the mound while the Dolphins pounded out 11 runs on 13 hits to lead the JU baseball team to an 11-4 win over Belmont, Saturday afternoon in game one of a doubleheader at John Sessions Stadium.
JU (8-1, 4-0) stayed unbeaten in Atlantic Sun Conference play by scoring a combined 10 runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
Belmont (4-5, 1-3) suffered its third straight loss in conference action after dropping its final two games to Lipscomb last weekend.
"This is a good start for the weekend," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "I'd like to see us cut down on the errors but a win is a win. We need to keep the pressure on offensively because I expect Belmont to bounce back in game two."
Brown (2-0) earned the win after allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits with no walks and two strikeouts in 6.2 innings of work. Freshman Matt Tomshaw closed out the game with 2.1 innings of scoreless relief.
Carlo Testa (1-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing seven runs on nine hits with four walks and five strikeouts in 4.1 innings.
JU, which has scored in the first inning of all nine games this season, took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when junior catcher Jeremy Gillan recorded a sacrifice fly. Ferreira led off the inning with a double to center and then advanced to third on a fly out to left by Fleming. After junior right fielder Thomas Meyers drew a walk, Gillan hit the first pitch to deep center to score Ferreira.
Belmont evened the contest, 1-1, in the top of the third when Testa hit an RBI single up the middle with a runner on second base and two outs.
The Dolphins retook the lead, 3-1, in the bottom of the fourth when sophomore third baseman Bernazard hit and RBI single and Ferreira tallied a sacrifice fly. With one out, junior designated hitter Dan Maier drew a walk and then moved to second on a single through the left side by Lopez. After sophomore second baseman Opachich drew a walk to load the bases, Bernazard laced a single to center to drive in Maier. Ferreira followed with a drive to center to drive in Lopez.
JU increased the margin to 7-1 in the bottom of fifth after racking up four runs on five hits. Gillan, sophomore first baseman Alex Martinez and Maier each hit consecutive singles to load the bases before Lopez followed with a single through the left side to score two runs. Opachich followed with a sacrifice fly to right to score Maier and then junior left fielder Kyle Fleming drew a bases loaded walk with two outs.
The Dolphins increased the margin to 11-1 in the bottom of the sixth when Gillan and Maier each hit solo home runs, Ferreira hit an RBI ground out to second and Opachich scored from second on a throwing error by shortstop Packy Elkins.
The Bruins cut the deficit to 11-4 in the top of the seventh after scoring three runs on three hits while taking advantage of three Dolphin errors.
JU and Belmont will play game two of the doubleheader 30 minutes after the conclusion of the first game.

SEATTLE—Do you like your smile? If you don't, you're not alone.
It's something thousands of people are unhappy with...but if you think you're too old, or a mouth full of metal isn't exactly what you had in mind, not to worry. New dental technology is giving both kids and adults more treatment choices.
One of the biggest concerns people have before going through with any type of orthodontic treatment is -- how will I look? With so many new options out there, it's easier than ever to have the smile you wish you were born with.
"I really felt for me, and having a career and being a young professional, i didn't really want to have the traditional metal braces."
At age 28, Kate Peringer decided...she wanted to fix her smile, but she was concerned about what braces would look like, and how they would affect her active lifestyle and career.
"I really didn't want to have the traditional metal braces. I feel like that can give you a juvenile look and it wasn't something I wanted to have."
Dr. Nadine Egger says Kate is like many patients she sees at Egger Orthodontics.
"It's never too late to have braces."
Dr. Egger says it's a misconception that only kids can be treated for crooked or crowded teeth. Today, about 40 percent of her patients are adults.. happy to hear traditional braces have come a long way.
"It's made a huge change in the people who come looking for a healthy smile."
From colored metal, to tooth colored braces, and even clear removable trays -- the choices are endless. She says making over your smile doesn't have to be inconvenient or obvious - and the cost of fixing your teeth has also gone down...
"Lining the teeth with braces, and wires, and Invisalign plastic trays has become much more cost effective and user friendly, not only for the orthodontist but for the patient."
Also, new dental computer software is allowing doctors to show patients the end results before they commit to anything. Dr. Egger says there are no excuses to not have a healthy, perfect set of teeth.
"It's all about the health and maintaining your teeth for life long."
As for Kate, she says her newly made over mouth...makes smiling a lot easier.
"It's really fun to smile and feel confident, about the way my smile looks...my face shape... the confidence is great."

Unnatural Law
Debt vs. Security
The functional parameters of the concepts Debt and Security are black-and-white opposites. The contrast is so sharp that the use of the word "Securities" in investment circles is a fraudulent misrepresentation for the purpose of commercial promotion. There is nothing secure about paper.

Legality and Humanity part company when the demands of a dead thing, a corporation, are given priority over life. At the heart of the matter is the love of money and the lust for power.

Corporation, Nation or Country?
Without a long drawn out debate over legal definitions of terms, it can be said that there are very real differences in the outcomes of situations. It is possible to know the differences and still make very bad decisions. The purpose of this article is to encourage further study. Read the rest of this entry »

7 July A.D. 2011
The article below is by R.K. Blacksher. It was posted 5 July 2011. In the link at strike-the-root.com, he lists his occupation as "Drone." Creative, anyway.
This author prefers Pat Shannan's lesson in the matter. The term "constitution-ist" is the proper description of one who supports, promotes a/the "constitution," as contrasted with the term "constitution-al-ist," which is one who supports a/the "constitutional," which term IS a noun, and, in some parts of the country, that noun refers to the function of the last part of the alimentary canal. What Blacksher is saying, in his way, is that there are no political solutions.
Here is the very last concept in this piece: "People cannot free themselves if they do not believe they are enslaved. People need to stop trying to free themselves through politics and start trying to free themselves from politics."
Clearly, Blacksher does not yet understand, completely, the nature of the problem, because slaves have zero authority to obligate themselves or their property commercially. It's precisely because there is NO slavery that the present "funny money" system "works." Said another way, involuntary bondage had to go in order for it to be replaced with our present condition of voluntary bondage.
Slaves can't get credit cards or open retirement accounts or purchase land or cars, etc. Only those with the legal capacity to enter into agreements may engage in even the basics of commercial activity. In the same way that children and medically incompetent people have no "capacity" to bind themselves commercially, slaves have no capacity to bind themselves commercially.
Where one finds few legal remedies for involuntary bondage, given that such law exists in a society that finds it moral and acceptable for one human being to "own," as property, another human being (which concept is all throughout Scripture), one has all kinds of remedies for Voluntary Bondage. Voluntary Bondage is the by-product of our present commercial system, in which we're seduced, through our ignorance (unawareness) of our present legal reality, into binding, commercial obligations that are enforced in such a way as to make us think that the authority relied upon is law. Voluntary Bondage is something over which we have 100% control. Thus, on the flip side of that same coin, we have only ourselves to blame.
To play the game of politics is to pretend that the politicians are "the problem." Thus, by changing them, the problem may be fixed via a different group of politicians who will then rewrite or just "delete" the offensive, oppressive, police-state "statutes." Fortunately, that's not how the present system functions. Since no politician in any office can ever compel anyone to sign up for any "gotcha agreement," by which we impale ourselves on the horns of Voluntary Bondage, no politician, in or out of office, is "the" problem.
Very well said.

Playing Both EndsPosted: July 5, 2011 | Author: georgesblog360 | Filed under: Commentary, Social Conscience, Uncategorized | Tags: Administrative, Banking, Banks, Bribery, Corporation, Corporatism, Country, Credit, Currency, Debt, Default, fascism, Global, Globalism, Graft, illuminati, IMF, Industrial Espionage, Law, Legal, Lobbyists, Mafia, Nation, Peace, politicians, Politics, Ponzi, Rothschild, Sabbataen, Vice, War, World Bank | Leave a comment
"Playing Both Ends"
Playing both ends against the middle may be standard procedure in the Corporatist philosophy, but it is a very dangerous practice. In every account of conflict, both sides discover eventually, that they only thought they had the deal that they wanted. The strange wrinkle in human nature that puts diplomacy on the backbone of corruption allows wiggle room to change the meaning of words and terms of the deal. So it is, in the Corporatist political structure. The faces and speeches may change, but the fact remains that conflicting and often contradictory demands can not be resolved. Anger management doesn't work, here.
We see examples of the vertical failures in public policy, every day. In every area, social, economic and political, the top-down edicts from the administration don't work at street level. They never did, without a military threat. The location becomes secondary to the factional and sectarian private agendas within government. Government doesn't need a middle ground to play the ends against. As current agendas play out, an unresolved debate is sufficient. While factions get bogged down in details, no agreement is required to commit theft. Corruption is made difficult to identify if no terms are set. As things simmer along, the current global economic crisis will see the objectives of Commerce implemented in classic Corporatist fashion.
Whether it be in the board rooms of corporations or in the international realm of diplomacy, the wheels of blockade and embargo, invasion and conquest will grind on to their destination, subjugation. The machine of global Corporatism constantly seeks more fuel to run it's anti-human machine. As diplomacy gets bogged down in scraping embarrassment from it's shoe, the battle for land and resources will certainly intensify. Property is more likely to be stolen than blown up. Domestically, we see the nationalization of industries. Internationally, we see growing Corporatist domination at the hands of the central banks' hatchet man, the United Nations. The trap that humanity finds itself in requires people to seek escape and independence. Outside motivation comes too late to be of value. Such basic needs are only successful if acted on by internal decision in each individual. To walk away from the crowd may seem uncertain at the moment, but it is the time-honored and proven path to liberty.
Corporatism tells everyone what they want to hear, ignoring obvious and impossible incongruities, contradictions and public exposure. People are so desperate to believe the "Yes, we can" that they go deaf when history says, "No, you can't". For 40 years, we have heard administrations quote Hitler, Stalin and Roosevelt in the spirit of Corporatism. The way each of their labor camp systems divided the world each had their unique charms, but they all worked toward the goal of an Incorporated purpose for a conscripted populace. Individual autonomy and self-determination are now cornered fugitives in the abandoned building that once was America. Because Corporatism sees each generation as a crop of human resources, it is naturally destructive. It is no compliment to be seen as a renewable resource. For the individual, it is a total loss system. If people are satisfied with finding nobility and fulfillment in corporate sacrifice, let them have their fate. The test is whether or not American principles will overcome that totalitarian lie.
We only know the sequence of events and judgments of historians as they are taught to us. We should be greatly disturbed by every instance that requires us to turn our backs on our heritage. The respect for life and independence that was once a given is replaced by a hunger for Corporatist conquest in the marketplace. Unfortunately, the fear of poverty keeps people playing the debt game, trying to break even. That fear causes people to act against their interests. They have chosen more bureaucratic intervention and intrusion in their lives, taking on more trouble than they began with.
When systems break down, they drag people with them. The assets of the individual are then liquidated and absorbed into the corporate State, for "the greater good", as embodied in the survival of the corporation. Do we seek life, or do we stay in our seats, frozen in fear? "Refugee" is just a polite term for "casualty". There is no justification for abiding in such a circumstance. There are no neutral positions. There are only predators and prey. Generations have been taught to accept the latter, without dissent. The independent option is systematically and institutionally discouraged. We are taught to submit ourselves meekly, as spoils of war.
How do we reach the independent goal of life in liberty, seemingly just over the horizon? Obviously, the Corporatist structure has no interest in a freer, better world, in the future. Taking a harvest from it, yes; being restrained by any moral precept, no. We are taught that participation is mandatory. At present, the cannibalistic nature of Corporatism limits general predation. The bureaucratic conflicts among power structures seek bigger prey than the individual citizen. For the little fish, a barracuda is more dangerous than a Great White shark. This is the state of existence in the experience of humanity. America has been a rare, sheltered cove in the storms of war. To weather the present storm, we must be diligent in our training in the training that previous generations rejected. We may have been deceived, but people who discover that they have been lied to are most persistent in pursuit of the truth. Corporatist power is always directed at limiting the range of thought and silencing the voice of free people. A thief, caught in a lie, always resorts to murder. Revision of keep witnesses buried. So too will guilt build inn the corporate structure until it collapses or it's components devour each other.Every empire in history has suffered this fate. It is the fragments that sprouted to torment future generations. Those who live by predation, are consumed by it. The path through the destruction is there for those who seek it. Answers only work by living them. Fortunately, we still have a will to live that keeps us moving. Survival is one victory. Independence is another. Repeatedly stringing those victories together is the pursuit of happiness.
Buying The FarmPosted: July 5, 2011 | Author: georgesblog360 | Filed under: Commentary, Social Conscience, Uncategorized | Tags: America, Bonds, Budget, Congress, Corporation, Country, Currency, Debt, Default, Deficit, Depression, Federal Reserve, History, Inflation, Infrastructure, Money, Nation, Nationality, Recession, Sovereinty, Stocks, U.S. Treasury, United States | Leave a comment
Buying The Farm
People who wouldn't buy a bridge sight unseen, accept the Federal Reserve note as the real thing. People must not know anything about the dual currency bait-and-switch. The scam works as well today as it has in every other bank panic, including the Great Depression. The Federal Reserve system is the real Bridge to Nowhere. It starts in debt, can't prove what it is or show tangible collateral by independent audit, and can disappear into thin air, only to reappear under a different disguise. When it shows up with the Amero, people will seriously believe that it's a new currency. The new kid on the block will turn out to be the same old whore. Yet, that corrupt system has the power to tell people what they are and what their obligations are. If people knew what they were supposed to be, where they really were, and what legal standing they don't have now, they would get away from the Federal Reserve, as fast as they could go.
They would abandon the fake government, fake citizenship and fake money. The fake voting and fake representation would become things of the past. A government that no one voted for wouldn't last long. A government that has no one but it's welfare program constituents left to tax wouldn't even last that long. The problem is that the corporation in Washington, D. C. has a thing for conquest. Reconstruction doesn't seem to be working as well in Iraq as it did in the Confederate States. When Iraq refused to recognize the Federal Reserve note as the reserve currency, their currency got painted with red spray paint and a new carpetbagger government installed. Reconstruction rides, again.
It took 2 world wars for Corporatism to conquer the United States, Europe and Asia. A series of debt wars are bringing Africa and Latin America into the fold. The evidence is in the division of the world according to financial standing, not National borders. There are no sovereign nations. Their creditors own them. Finding the right candidate for office in the Homeland Security internment camp won't correct this problem. When people agree to be less than they really are, they give up more than they could afford to lose. Understanding the difference between Americanism and Corporatism is prerequisite to staying out of the Federal Reserve "who's on first" loop conversation. When the Fed tells it, it isn't funny, anymore.
The people running the scam know the difference between real money and paper. They knew it in 1929, and worked the bait-and-switch to perfection. we are now seeing a growing reluctance to part with gold and silver, for paper. Believe it or forget it, there is no good reason to give up real money for paper. Granted, people still insist on paper in consumer transactions. Get the paper some other way. Give them strings of beads from Mardi Gras, if you have to. Keep your gold and silver. Don't get caught in the bait-and-switch.
Why is this important? It is important because 200 years of fast-talking con artists have taken America back to square one, for at least the seventh time. This time, the panic could be the killer. Prior to this economic collapse, there was gold and silver coin in general circulation. The next time that Federal Reserve debt is offered as legal tender, could be the last. If the Fed calls that paper nothing right now, everyone is flat broke, immediately. There would be nothing in the banks, to get.
Who has the better financial statement? Is it the one with room left under the limits on his credit cards, or the one who bought some of that fine bottom land in the Everglades? Ben Bernanke and his buddies in a well-lighted conference room is a far more dangerous situation than the 'gators and cottonmouths, in the dark.

Panic Attack
Waiting for the Federal budget debates is a lot like waiting in the doctor's office. You have an idea about things you already know about, and will accept a definite maybe as good news. Old magazines that didn't interest you when they were new, aren't much of a distraction. So, here we sit. We've seen state budgets try on shoes that were too big for them. We've seen municipal departments worry about financial nail trimming, while hoping against budgetary castration. What will we be looking at in the coming months?
Right now, the word "Deficit" is a dirty word. It should be. The Federal Budget has been an interest-only loan for at least 35 years. We only thought the housing bubble was huge. The mortgage on the Federal Plantation is the riskiest loan in the history of mankind. The most stressful time for the U. S. economy is while the next fiscal year is undecided. This year will include a visit to the financial proctologist. You've probably wondered why the sun doesn't shine, there. I suspect that we're about to find out why we would really rather not know the answer to that question. We have been so focused on the things that are rammed down our throats in Congress, that we haven't paid any attention to the other things done to us. The things done by banks and corporation are done without ant prior public debate.
Since this is September, a refresher course is in order. When we were last at the scene of the public dole feeding frenzy, there was a closed-door meeting among the Federal Reserve, the U. S. Treasury and Congressional leadership. No details came out of that meeting, but it is obvious that the currency collapse card got played. Since then, the pile of chips on the table has grown larger than the table. We'll see who bluffs, who blinks and who calls, over the next few months.
Lest we forget, trade relations with China were a bit strained, last year. All China had to do was voice reluctance to buy any more U. S. Treasury debt. Financial stocks went into a death spiral. This year, the global economy is all dressed up in debt, with nowhere to go, but down. Everyone waits. The only known fact is that the Federal Reserve is hosting the party. Everyone has the expectation of drinking themselves under the table with debt. You know what happens when you keep bad company. You get a bad reputation. They go to Hell in a handbasket, and drag you with them, protesting your innocence.It would be way too late to protest.We didn't want God's provision and His ways, in His house. United States citizens choose to throw their lot in with the pimps and con artists in the Federal corporation, instead. If you don't want to fit that description, now would be a good time to get out of the Federal Reserve Ponzi scheme.
What do we do now? We wait and watch. We've seen the battle plans of the Corporate Wars, before. The global players are positioning themselves in the hope of gaining advantage and influenced. Populations are monetized and ready for the first ante. Your street could end up owned by one bank, your house by another, and your children by yet another. Your job isn't secure enough to be mentioned as an asset. We've seen all of this, before. We know that the media never calls anything what it really is. It should help to know that the words "budget" and "deficit" now have the the same functional meaning. This is what happens, when people don't know the difference between debt and money. People have no clue as to how the debt game is played. I hear it, every day. People believe that they can win the debt gamThey don't understand that they lost, before they were born. The mechanism to monetize them and extract the wealth from them has been in place for many generations. The old adage is, "Live and Learn". May we all live long enough to learn.
So, what does all of this mean? It means that we will see a budget crisis. Entitlement programs will tighten belts, sacrificed to ram through the healthcare agenda. Again I repeat the unnatural order of Corporatism: Government of the Corporations, by the Attorneys, for the Banks. Now, you should know what is going to happen, next. It's what the banks want.
Since this is September, a refresher course is in order. When we were last at the scene of the public dole feeding frenzy, there was a closed-door meeting among the Federal Reserve, the U. S. Treasury and Congressional leadership. No details came out of that meeting, but it is obvious that the currency collapse card got played. Since then, the pile of chips on the table has grown larger than the table. We'll see who bluffs, who blinks and who calls, over the next few months.

En este punto, hemos traicionado a nosotros mismos ya nuestro país. Hemos peleado en guerras para las corporaciones multi-nacionales. Durante 100 años, hemos sido arrastrados a la consolidación de las empresas del comercio mundial. La agenda de corporativismo recoge el botín de guerra, mientras que el pueblo estadounidense se culpa por ello. Esto debe terminar. Esta nación no fue fundada para saquear el resto del mundo. Debemos hacer valer nuestra autoridad legítima, legal mediante la corrección de nuestra nacionalidad, convertirse en estadounidenses de nuevo, y retirar nuestro consentimiento para que la corporación federal que nos esclaviza.

By Kevin Henkin
The NBA: Where Immense Frustration Happens. Ugh. Where to begin? With some salient facts, I suppose, which are as follows:
The Chicago Bulls defeated the Boston Celtics at home in Game 1 of their first round playoff series, in overtime, by a score of 105-103.
Bulls rookie point guard Derrick Rose submitted a performance for the ages. In 49 minutes of play, he recorded 36 points on 12-19 shooting to go with 11 assists. He also hit all 12 of his free throws.
Rajon Rondo was almost as magnificent with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.
Ray Allen, meanwhile, was horrid. Yes, he missed the shot on a good look at the end of overtime that would have tied it for Boston but it was his overall line of 4 points on 1-12 shooting (including 0-6 from deep waters) that spoke volumes. With Kevin Garnett out, the Celtics simply cannot afford to have Ray Allen become invisible for another playoff series.
Joakim Noah hauled in 17 rebounds to go with his 11 points and 3 blocks. Noah in particular seemed to swallow up Glen Davis whenever Baby approached anywhere near the basket. Brad Miller grabbed another 12 boards off the bench. For the game, Chicago out-rebounded Boston by a margin of 66-57. The effort by the Bulls on the glass was certainly among the primary deciding factors.
Paul Pierce had a lackluster first half, scoring only 4 points before coming alive in the third quarter and beyond. For the game, he finished with 23 points on 8-21 shooting. What he'll be remembered for most, however, was missing the second of two free throws with 2 seconds left in regulation. Hitting the shot would have sent the Bulls packing. Instead, the miss left the game tied at 97 all. In the subsequent overtime, Tyrus Thomas seemed to become Ray Allen by connecting on multiple contested outside jumpers whereas Ray Allen seemed to become Tony Allen, suffering form a sustained poor shooting touch as well as a nasty case of butterfingers at the most crucial of times.
Now for some musings beyond the numbers:
I think anyone watching the game had to feel very early on that the Celtics were not submitting a playoff level of intensity. Doc Rivers admitted as much during his in-game comments to ESPN. I remain mystified by this. As a team without its emotional leader and defensive anchor, the Celtics obviously realize that their margin for error, even against a lesser team like the Bulls, has shrunk considerably. Therefore, one would think that no one in a Celtics uniform would ever be seen – on the parquet floor, no less – TAKING PLAYS OFF. And yet that's exactly what happened on numerous occasions over the course of the game.
Take, for example, the last play of the first half. With time winding down, Ben Gordon launched a three point shot from the top of the key. When the shot left his hands, only Brad Miller moved towards the basket. When the shot bounced wide to the left with one second left, it fell into the hands of the advancing Miller, who laid it in easily just before time expired. Replays showed that no Celtics players were even in the lane when Miller received the ball, with most of them still stuck to the floor exactly where they were when Gordon launched the shot. It was an inexcusable collective lack of effort that ended up costing the Celtics dearly later in the game.
There were other examples, such as a Rajon Rondo drive just inside the three minute mark of the third quarter. On that play, Rondo took a deep rebound and charged full steam up the court against a back-peddling Bulls defense. Again, replays showed that the only other Celtics player even within twenty feet behind him was Ray Allen as the lagging trailer. Meanwhile, the other Boston players – Pierce, Davis and Kendrick Perkins – all jogged up the court behind the play. Left alone, Rondo stubbornly charged hard into the heart of the Chicago defense with the hopes of drawing a foul. He turned the ball over instead.
These are the plays that I cannot erase from my mind, and believe me, there were others worthy of scrutiny. Look, we all know that losing playoff games at home is going to happen. It just shouldn't ever come down to a lack of proper effort. Yes, it's true that Derrick Rose played out of his mind. It's also true that the officials were regrettably a factor. Hell, an entire article could be devoted to exploring their gross incompetence displayed over the course of this game. Leading the charge was Bennett Salvatore, the man you may well remember for calling the ludicrous offensive foul against Paul Pierce in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Detroit last year.
Regardless, if we're going to assign blame, accusing fingers should be pointed first and foremost at everyone in a Celtics uniform not named Rajon Rondo. Outside of the young point guard, who nearly dragged his team to victory all by himself, all other Celtics players were guilty of either inexcusably dogging it on occasion or submitting a sub-par overall performance. Ray Allen, as noted above, was beyond ineffective. So too were Eddie House, Glen Davis, Stephon Marbury and – to a lesser degree – Paul Pierce.
In the wake of the news that Garnett was likely a scratch for the playoffs, the Celtics players to a man said all the right things. Don't count us out. We're still playing for a title. Sounds great in front of the microphones but now it has to be backed up on the basketball court. That includes the entire forty-eight minutes of the game, by the way. Forget all the doomsday prognostications about Cleveland or even Orlando. Chicago is the team that presently stands in the way of a successful title defense. Get past them and maybe we can resume discussing of likelihood of an upset against the vaunted Cleveland Cavaliers.
To be continued…

Show Me the Money
IT departments are developing creative ways to fund innovation projects -- from both inside and outside the company.
For instance, at Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, depending on the scope of the project, "we either get some funding from the hotel [where the project takes place] or we take corporate dollars and invest in those properties," says John Prusnick, director of IT innovation and strategy. The hotels are corporate-owned, "so we're not taking particular interest in an individual owner or franchise," he adds.
The hotel chain also works with third-party IT partners that "sometimes have brilliant ideas and wish to try them out," Prusnick says. "We give them a venue and opportunity to [try out new ideas], and they help to fund some of that effort."

Stupid Stock Move of the Day: Groupon up?June 18, 2012: 3:04 PM ET
#StupidStock Move of the Day! $GRPN up 11% because $MS, one of its lead underwriters, upgraded it? Have people learned nothing? Come on man!—
Paul R. La Monica (@LaMonicaBuzz) June 18, 2012
A dot-com stock is surging after one of its underwriters upgraded it and people are wondering if the euro experiment will work. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was 1999. Groupon (GRPN) surged more than 10% Monday. And the only "news" to explain it was that Morgan Stanley (MS), one of the companies that helped bring Groupon public last year, raised its rating on the stock to "overweight" from "equal weight."
In fairness to Morgan Stanley analyst Scott Devitt, it's admirable that he didn't launch coverage earlier this year with the most glowing review possible. My issue is with traders who continue to play the silly game of boosting stocks on innocuous events like analyst upgrades to begin with.
In its short history as a public company, Groupon hasn't exactly proven itself to be a solid stock. The company has had its share of accounting issues. It missed earnings estimates (actually it posted a surprise loss) the first time it reported financial results following its IPO. And it does strange things like announcing it will allow users to pay it $1000 if you name your child Clembough. Then there's that scary-looking Clicky tihng.
I'm all for having a sense of humor. But long-term investors are often less forgiving.
The bottom line with Groupon is that it is still, at more than 60 times 2012 earnings estimates, a very expensive stock. It's also operating in a business that many people think is the most easily replicated. Sure, there is probably some brand loyalty to Groupon. But for all the bad press that Facebook (FB) and Zynga (ZNGA) are getting about their business models as of late, they both seem to be in far better position to prosper over the long haul than Groupon.
Looks like a few of my Twitter followers agree.

Every 10 minutes someone is added to the organ donation list...while 18 people die everyday waiting on a donor organ.
Cold rainy weather did not stop one local organization from getting the word out Friday about saving lives. Teams from the Gift of Hope Organ and Tissue Donation Network went door-to-door in Peoria to encourage residents, especially african americans, to register to as organ donors.
Although organs can be transplanted across racial and ethnic groups, genetic make up can have a significant role in donor-recepient compatibility.
The process only takes 30 seconds and one donor can save more than 25 lives.
That's just one of the message team members were trying to stress Friday.
"As part of the awareness we want to...dispell the myths let people know that it is important. You can save lives through being an organ donor. But also letting them know about the importance of health and wellness, taking care of themselves, getting regular mammograms, eating healthy, and changing certain lifestyles so that they can potentially be organ donors," said Gift of Hope Community Affairs Specialist, Carolyn Vazquez.
Gift of Hope says its especially important for african americans to become donors because the group makes up 29 percent of patients on the transplant list but only accounts for 14 percent of all donors.
If you want to register to be an organ donor visit www.donatelifeillinois.org

PEORIA, Ill -- An invalid vote by the Peoria MEG Board of Directors is raising some questions.
MEG is the Multi-County Narcotics Enforcement Group. It's primary goal is to enforce drug laws and educate the community.
It is made up of officials from four counties, Peoria, Tazewell, Knox and Woodford.
Recently a vote took place to add Canton to the group.
Canton is in Fulton County which is served by the West Central Region of drug enforcement.
Peoria County State's Attorney Jerry Brady said the vote violated the group's bylaws, because members weren't give a 30 day written notice.
Outgoing Washington Police Chief Jim Kuckenbecker serves as the MEG Board Chair. He is leaving Washington for the Canton Police Department.
This removes him from MEG, unless Canton joins.
Sheriff Mike McCoy said Canton officials believe a majority of their drugs come Peoria.
Brady said that could be, but isn't sure on the frequency.
"I think the question becomes what will benefit, and I don't mean that from a selfish standpoint, but how will law enforcement benefit from Canton or Fulton County connected to the Peoria MEG? And if in fact we have statistics and substantial evidence that there is a great deal of drug traffic, then that may be a basis to explore it further," said Brady.
If Canton officials are still interested, Brady said a valid vote on the issue can be taken again, after the 30 day notice is given.

The school of Zen called Soto in Japan was founded in China by Ch'an masters Tung-shan Liang-chieh (807-869; Tozan Ryokai in Japanese) and Ts'ao-shan Pen-chi (840-901; Sozan Honjaku in Japanese). The school was named Ts'ao-Tung (Soto in Japanese) after the names of its founders.
Soto Zen was brought to Japan by Eihei Dogen (1200-1253), also called Dogen Kigen or Dogen Zenji. Dogen, a Tendai monk, went to China in 1223 to study with Ts'ao-Tung master T'ien-t'ung Ju-shing. Under this teacher, Dogen realized enlightenment and became the first Japanese lineage holder of Ts'ao-Tung.
Dogen returned to Japan in 1227 to establish Soto Zen in Japan, where it has flourished to this day. Dogen's influence is still felt in Soto Zen, and his body of writing, in particular Shobogenzo, is considered one of the great works of Japanese religious literature.
Today, Soto Zen is one of the two principal schools of Zen in Japan. Soto is distinguished from Rinzai Zen by the zazen practice shikantaza rather than koan study.

Check out this video from the final stop on the tour and blog from the hilarious Tim O'Connor. Tour photos from Joe Hammeke are below.
In June 2008 A.D. Quiksilver set out for a midwestern skate tour extravaganza with a healthy chunk of the team cruising around in the world renowned Quiksilver RV. All of the RV's passengers were looking magnificent and all the while complimenting one another on their ridiculously good looking Quiksilver attire. (I might have just gotten myself a raise with that last sentence?)
I actually flew in a day earlier than everyone else to Lexington, Kentucky to meet up with one of the Quik reps named E.B. I had to be in a little earlier so that I could go on the local news with Alan, the owner of the Cosmic shops, and give the masses some extra media notification of the festivities that would be taking place while we were in town. A lot of people knew about the whole deal already but we wanted to bless the couch potatoes with the knowledge of our presence as well.
We did the T.V. interview and blew the anchorman away with our amazing verbiage and dashing good looks. When the interview was done everybody in the studio gave us a standing ovation as we walked out of the room in slo-mo.
More Quiksilver-ians started to show up later on this day. The head honchos…Rick Banta, Tom Holbrook and of course our favorite human behind the RV wheel was there….Modaddy!!!! My fellow skateboarding comrades came out of the airport too. Alex Olson, Reese Forbes, Justin Brock, Jake Johnson, and David Clark showed up and not too much later in the evening after their arrival we were aboard the RV headed to a
moonshine party in Bourbon, Kentucky. We followed Alan in his replica Scooby Doo Mystery Machine van all the way to the outdoor shindig. A 13 year old kid picked us all up in a big ass truck at the gates of the compound and shipped us down to where one of the biggest bonfires ever witnessed was going to be set ablaze. Don and Debbie Dyer were kind enough to have us on their gigantic estate so that we could suck down some adult beverages and get weird. Well things definitely got weird. I swigged away at the moonshine one too many times. (More than one drop of moonshine in your mouth qualifies as one too many sips) The bonfire was ignited and we all drank happy juice and ate some of the best BBQ my tastebuds have ever come into contact with. Although I would later be throwing all of this food up on the RV….it was good going down. David Clark and Jake Johnson found a mud pit where they got into it and wrestled each other until they had mud everywhere. Even on their teeth. There were some bales of hay around and I grabbed some handfuls and
slapped them all over David and Jake thus creating some sort of tar and feather look.
After this I blacked out and the next thing I knew was that I was walking to my hotel room with my pants at my ankles. I passed out and eagerly awaited my next day in Kentucky while I was in a moonshine induced coma.
Much thanks to Alan and his wife and Don and Debbie Byer for a memorable evening.
–Tim O'Connor

Kayner enters Sunday with 5-shot lead in US OpenDavid Scott, The Charlotte Observer
PINEHURST, N.C. -- Martin Kaymer knows how to win on golf's biggest stages.
Sunday, he gets a chance to do it again.
Kaymer, a former world No. 1 who has been in control of the U.S. Open since Thursday's opening round, takes a five-shot lead into Sunday's final round at Pinehurst No. 2.
And given his victories at the 2010 PGA Championship and this year's Players Championship, there's little reason to think he will shrink from the pressure of playing with the lead in the final round of the Open.
Kaymer's playing partner will be Rickie Fowler, whose 3-under-par 67 was one of only two sub-par rounds of the day. Erik Compton, a two-time heart transplant recipient playing in his second Open, was also 3 under and is tied with Fowler in second. A stroke behind Fowler and Compton are Henrik Stenson (70) and Columbia's Dustin Johnson (70) at 2 under. Brandt Snedeker (72), at 1 under, is the only other player in the field who is below par.
Kaymer's 2-over 72 was nothing like the twin 65s he carded over the first two rounds, the lowest 36-hole score in Open history. But on a day when pin placements were made tight and tricky and the course played fast, Kaymer stayed comfortably ahead.
He'll want to keep that feeling Sunday.
"I didn't play as good as I did the first two days," Kaymer said. "But the biggest thing (Sunday) is not to try and play like I'm defending anything. I'll want to go out there and swing freely. I hope that will be the difference."
Kaymer had four bogeys, but countered them with an eagle on the fifth hole and an affirming birdie on the 18th.
"The 18th was the only hole where you could be aggressive," Kaymer said. "I was quite happy to get that one."
Whenever it appeared as if Kaymer was ready to give a shot or two back to his competitors, someone was always willing to hand them back.
The first time it happened was on the second hole, with playing partner Brendon Todd still the closest to him, six strokes back.
After hitting his drive into the sand and wiry grass along the left side of the fairway, Kaymer chunked his approach shot in front of the green. He made bogey (just his second of the tournament). Todd, however, also bogeyed when his putt for birdie rolled off the back of the green.
Todd would go on to have a frustrating day, shooting a 9-over 79. He's tied for 30th at 5-over par and wasn't particularly happy with how difficult the course was laid out after two days of relatively soft conditions.
"I thought there were a number of (pins) that were cut a couple of feet closer to the slope," said Todd, who will play with Phil Mickelson on Sunday. "Because we had a guy that was 10-under par, it was a little bit of a revenge day (by the U.S. Golf Association), I think."
Kaymer also appeared to be vulnerable after he bogeyed No. 13, which shrunk his lead over Kevin Na to four shots. But Na, playing one hole in front of Kaymer, double-bogeyed No. 14 and Kaymer's lead was back to six.
Na continued to melt down, taking another double bogey on No. 16 and finishing at 3 over. He's even par for the tournament and eight strokes behind Kaymer.
Compton, who has overcome heart problems to become the tournament's feel-good story, had birdies over four of five holes in the middle of his round.
And then there's Fowler, who wasn't happy with how he drove the ball on his way to a five-birdie, two-bogey day. But he's at least within hailing distance of Kaymer.
Fowler knows that however well he plays Sunday will be tempered by how Kaymer – firmly in command since Thursday – plays.
"It's like a second tournament," Fowler said. "(We'll see) what Martin does."

During the 1970's, Europe experienced a wave of environmental consciousness and activism. Organic agriculture, renewable energy and environmental responsibility became the watchwords of the movement. In 1975, a group of inspired and like-minded friends opened a shop, Lorien Goods, in Hanover, Germany. Their shop featured the few products available at the time that fit the values of the new, green movement. To expand their shop's selection and to wholesale to other stores, the group began to import products from outside of Germany. In 1977, they decided it was time to begin manufacturing their own body care products and LOGONA was born.
LOGONA'S commitment to manufacturing and packaging body care products in an ecologically responsible manner resonated with their customers and the product line steadily expanded over the years. Today, LOGONA offers more than 200 natural personal care and cosmetic products. Strict ingredient quality standards are of fundamental importance in LOGONA'S product formulation and manufacturing.

State Energy Policy and the Commerce Clause: Spotlight on Colorado and Minnesota
Within the past month, two federal district courts in Colorado and Minnesota have issued important decisions on the constitutionality of state clean energy policies. Both cases raised the same issue: whether state laws regulate extraterritorially in violation of the dormant Commerce Clause of the Constitution.[read more]
|More coming soon...
"For all the arguments pro and con it will be clear by 2020 if solar and or wind is capable of powering a nation. If the answer is no then what remains?"
"No doubt, at 400 per gallon the military is looking for approaches to help on the front line. Not only is transportation an issue but in a modern theater in a hot environment data systems must be operated and kept cool. This has historically been done with diesel generators. At $400 per gallon, there is motivation for using solar in these bases.But the military also is looking ..."
"Thanks for an interesting reality check. The graph about German electricity mix shows that wind and solar combined produced less electricity than partially shut-down nuclear fleet in 2012. Since all nuclear will be shut down by 2022 and Germany can hardly increase biomass or hydro generation, ..."
"Any source that says nuclear only has 2 is not close to reality. Aslo, search for oil, and you'll see that it's still in the 10 to 20 range (thus another reason not to trust the 8020 site)."

EHLP Counseling Agency Information
EHLP Main Page
The Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program (EHLP)
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act provided $1 billion to the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development to implement the Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program (EHLP). HUD has contracted with NeighborWorks America to administer programmatic functions.
The program is designed to provide mortgage payment relief to eligible homeowners experiencing a drop in income of at least 15 percent, directly resulting from involuntary unemployment or underemployment due to adverse economic conditions and/or a medical emergency. The mortgage relief covers past-due mortgage payments, as well as a portion of the homeowner's mortgage payment for up to 24 months (up to $50,000).
The deadline for The Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program (EHLP) has passed. Homeowners seeking foreclosure mitigation assistance should speak with a housing counselor to identify all foreclosure prevention options available. To locate a counselor serving your community or region, go to FindaForeclosureCounselor.org.
Who Does EHLP Assist?
The program is designed to provide mortgage payment relief to eligible homeowners experiencing a drop in income of at least 15% directly resulting from involuntary unemployment or underemployment due to adverse economic conditions and/or a medical emergency. Other EHLP requirements must be met to be eligible. More Information
How Does EHLP Work?
The Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program (EHLP) will offer a zero interest, forgivable bridge loan to homeowners who have experienced a substantial loss of income (a reduction of at least 15%) due to unemployment or underemployment caused by adverse economic conditions or a medical condition. More Information
EHLP States
EHLP will be available in the following states:
Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. EHLP is also offered in Puerto Rico.
Substantially similar EHLP states:
HUD approved five states, that already had substantially similar emergency assistance programs, to administer EHLP directly through their state housing finance agency. The deadline for homeowners to apply for the substantially similar programs has passed but homeowners who reside in one of the five substantially similar EHLP states should speak with their state housing finance agency to find out if there are other programs that can assist them. Click on the corresponding link below for more information about other state programs and resources.
Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Maryland, Pennsylvania
States that are not participating in EHLP:
Those states that are not identified above (non-EHLP states) receive direct assistance through the U.S. Treasury's Innovation Fund for Hardest Hit Housing Market Program. The list of Hardest Hit Fund states is provided below. If you live in one of these states, click on that state's name to find out more about Hardest Hit Housing Market Program that is available where you live.

WASHINGTON -- Self-proclaimed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be brought to trial in a civilian federal courthouse in New York, near the site of the devastating 2001 terror attacks. Prosecutors expect to seek the death penalty.
Attorney General Eric Holder announced the long-awaited and politically fraught decision at a news conference Friday. He also said five other Guantanamo detainees, including a major suspect in the bombing of the USS Cole, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, will be tried through the military commission process.
Holder said the Sept. 11 defendants should be tried where their crimes occurred. Nearly 3,000 people died when the World Trade Center towers were brought down by two hijacked jetliners, another hijacked jet hit the Pentagon and a fourth crashed in western Pennsylvania.
"After eight years of delay, those allegedly responsible for the attacks of September the 11th will finally face justice," Holder said. "They will be brought to New York -- to New York -- to answer for their alleged crimes in a courthouse just blocks away from where the twin towers once stood."
Bringing such notorious suspects to U.S. soil to face trial is a key step in President Barack Obama's plan to close the terror suspect detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Obama initially planned to close the detention center by Jan. 22, but the administration is no longer expected to meet that deadline.
"For over 200 years our nation has relied upon a faithful adherence to the rule of law," Holder told a news conference at the Justice Department. "Once again, we will ask our legal system in two venues to answer that call."
The plan that Holder outlined is a major legal and political test of Obama's overall approach to terrorism. If the case suffers legal setbacks, the administration will face second-guessing from those who never wanted it in a civilian courtroom. And if lawmakers get upset about terrorists being brought to their home regions, they may fight back against other parts of Obama's agenda.
Early reaction was divided along political lines.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said bringing the terrorism suspects into the U.S. "is a step backwards for the security of our country and puts Americans unnecessarily at risk."
Republican Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona said bringing Mohammed to New York for trial also could result in the disclosure of classified information. Kyl maintained that the trial of Omar Abdel Rahman, the so-called "blind sheik" who was tried for a plot against some two-dozen New York City landmarks, caused "valuable information about U.S. intelligence sources and methods" to be revealed to the al-Qaida terrorist network.
Former President George W, Bush's last attorney general, Michael Mukasey, a former federal judge in New York, also objected: "The Justice Department claims that our courts are well suited to the task. Based on my experience trying such cases and what I saw as attorney general, they aren't."
But Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said the federal courts are capable of trying high-profile terrorism.
"By trying them in our federal courts, we demonstrate to the world that the most powerful nation on earth also trusts its judicial system -- a system respected around the world," Leahy said.
Some family members of Sept. 11 victims were angered by the decision.
"We have a president who doesn't know we're at war," said Debra Burlingame, whose brother, Charles Burlingame, was pilot of the hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon. She said she was sickened by "the prospect of these barbarians being turned into victims by their attorneys," if the trial winds up focusing on allegations that the suspects were tortured after their capture.
Some Sept. 11 families have supported the move toward public trials, saying they want to see justice done openly.
The New York case may force the court system to confront a host of difficult legal issues surrounding counterterrorism programs begun after the 2001 attacks, including the harsh interrogation techniques once used on some of the suspects while in CIA custody. The most severe method -- waterboarding, or simulated drowning -- was used on Mohammed 183 times in 2003, before the practice was banned.
The five suspects are headed to New York together because they are all accused of conspiring in the 2001 attacks. The five headed to military commissions face a variety of charges but many of them include attacks specifically against the U.S. military.
Holder said no decision had been made on where commission-bound detainees like al-Nashiri might be sent. A brig in South Carolina has been high on the list of sites under consideration.

By ASHLEIGH LIVINGSTON
---- — MORIAH — In his spare time, Nicholas Manfred consults his dictionary, studying the meaning of words, as well as where they originated and how they are pronounced.
The eighth-grader said knowing such things about words can help him determine how they are spelled, and Manfred hopes to defend his title as the region's top speller.
A student at Moriah Central School, he took first place in the 2012 Champlain Valley Educational Services Regional Spelling Bee, and as a result, earned his school the honor of hosting the upcoming 2013 competition, which will take place at 6 p.m. Friday in the Moriah Central auditorium.
There, Manfred, the grand champion of his school's Dec. 21 seventh- and eighth-grade spelling bee, will compete against 51 other area students in grades four through eight, all of whom have emerged as the best spellers in their classes.
"I think I'll do good," he said. "I am hoping to win again."
While this will mark Manfred's fourth trip to the Regional Spelling Bee, fellow Moriah Central student Madeline Cochran will make her first appearance in the event this year, having proven to be the best speller among her fifth-grade classmates at a bee held Jan. 10.
"I'm terrified," she said of participating in the regional competition. "I'm terrified that I will get out in the first round."
Still, she added, "I'm excited, too, so it kind of levels out."
Like Manfred, Cochran has been doing what she can to prepare for the event.
"I usually write down most of the words to practice," she said.
The Regional Bee will commence with multiple oral rounds that will take place onstage in front of the audience.
Each competitor will receive one word per round to spell aloud. Before answering, he or she may ask to hear the word used in a sentence, as well as the word's definition, part of speech, language of origin and any alternate pronunciations.
Spelling a word wrong will result in elimination from the bee.
Students remaining at the end of the first oral rounds will go to a separate area to take a written spelling test. Those with qualifying scores on the written exam will then return to the stage and continue with oral rounds until a grand champion, as well as a winner for each grade level, is determined.
The grand champion will win a trip for two to Washington, D.C., courtesy of the Press-Republican, where he or she will compete in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, as Manfred did last year.
"It was a lot of fun," he said.
"I think it's a wonderful opportunity for students," added Jane Landry, Champlain Valley Educational Services Regional Spelling Bee coordinator. "It gives them the opportunity to compete in an academic competition, and it gives the winner the opportunity to compete in Washington, D.C."
Moriah Elementary School Principal Valerie Stahl said she and High School Principal Alison Burch are very excited to host the Regional Spelling Bee and have been preparing for it all year.
The event is open to the public and will feature a concession stand with snacks, such as hot dogs, michigans and nachos, the sales from which will benefit the school's Drama Club.
"Mrs. Burch and I are hoping that we get a chance to host again next year," Stahl said. "We're rooting for our kids."

DPS troopers will be out in full force beginning Wednesday evening and continuing through the holiday weekend.
Corporal John Gonzalez with DPS said they are watching specifically for drunk driving.
"This is one we really enforce and look at because the amount of traffic that we do have (and) the festivities that are going in and around Lubbock," he said.
Officers also cautioned those who plan on spending time on the lake for the holiday.
Game wardens said the rules and regulations for being on the lake are much different than on the roadways.
"There's no speed limit on the water. There's no designated lanes as there is on a highway so it's just a free for all. Everybody can go where they want so you have to be careful. Be conscious of the other boats, and yourself."
He also said to make sure there are enough life jackets on board the boat for everyone. They can not be locked up in a compartment. If a child under 13 is caught without a life jacket on their guardian could be fined.

The New York Knicks must be back. Their most famous fan, Spike Lee, is talking trash in anticipation of tonight's game at Madison Square Garden vs. LeBron James and the Miami Heat.
"We're gonna kick LeBron's ass," Lee confidently predicted to the Daily News during a book-signing in Brooklyn last night. "We're going to win them all. It's like the old days."
Well, Knicks fans might want to hope it's not exactly like the old days. Back when Lee used to talk trash in the direction of Chicago's Michael Jordan or Indiana's Reggie Miller things generally did not work out so well for New York.
The 16-10 Knicks are coming off a thrilling game Wednesday against Boston, even if it was a 118-116 defeat. "The Knicks have arrived," said Boston's Paul Pierce after the game. "They're going to be a force to reckon with in the division."
The 19-8 Heat, who have won 10 straight, will be another test for the Knicks. The reception for James, who spurned the Knicks to play with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, should be one of the interesting stories of tonight's encounter.
Knicks star Amare Stoudemire, is not concerned with the reaction to James.
"As long as we keep winning and keep having success, that's what the fans want to see. That's important here in New York. LeBron is in Miami. We're in New York. It's going to be a battle."
By the way, if you can still find a ticket for tonight's game, you had better be ready to dig deep into your wallet.

On a side note, Mr unhappy John Hall, the games were given to London in 2005. That was way before the bottom fell out of the economy so it's hardly there fault. The 9.3bn being spent on the games will also no doubt be helped by the boost to the economy of having the games itself here.

SELBYVILLE, Del. - A crash Saturday morning has claimed the life of a Salisbury motorcyclist.
John Scott was heading to the intersection of Lighthouse Road and Hudson Road just before noon.
He began a left hand turn, and then reportedly struck a car turning in the opposite direction.
He was flown from the scene to PRMC, but was pronounced dead during the flight.
The other driver involved was not injured.
