Dana is looking at Chuck and thinking:
"Lose this, and I will eat your soul"
Congratulations MMA Dude.
In our first ever caption contest, MMA Dude came out swinging for the fences. And with a total of 144 entries, it wasn't easy coming up with a winner.
If we had a prize for most obscure reference, that honor would most certainly go to MWA for his throwback to the 1980's My Buddy doll that came complete with advertising jingle.
Truth be told, I did have Sirchokemout in the top five for his line about Arby's, but since I love the market fresh sandwich and the closest Arby's is 40 miles south, I had to disqualify him for screwing with my appetite.
What I did find surprising (and a little disturbing) was the number of puns that referred to gay sex.
I know it's 2007 and all, but for purposes of this contest I'm going with a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy for all submissions.
Second place goes to Russ for "Sweep the leg." Not just for quoting screen legend Martin Kove, but for fleshing out the motive Johnny had for sweeping it in the first place: Both he and Kreese knew that Daniel was the better fighter.
Honorable mention goes to SGT Cmin for the tried-and-true "Do you want to be a F&^*ing fighter?" and Kenny the Swede for "Look Chuck! I've got a lion on my head! HAHAHAAAHAAAHAHAAA!"
Enjoy your prizes gentlemen. As for the rest of the gang, your submissions were both enjoyable and greatly appreciated.
I expect you all to return for next month's caption contest. I hear first prize is a signed glossy of Tim Sylvia. Only $40 shipping and handling.

BEN WHEELER, TX (KLTV) - If you drive through the little historic town of Ben Wheeler in Van Zandt County, you can't help but notice the huge "Royal Crown Cola and Moon Pie" mural on the Rave Building. It's quite possibly the only one of its' kind in the entire U.S.
While today's teenagers and "twenty somethings" may not be familiar with Moon Pies, these sweet little delicacres were once a staple in East Texas small towns, and of course they always had to be consumed with Royal Crown Cola. Artist Brent Hale's mural of Moon Pies and RC's is the newest attraction in Ben Wheeler, on its' way to becoming a popular destination spot. In fact when Hale contacted the Moon Pie people about using their logo, they were so impressed with plans for Ben Wheeler's rebirth, they offered to host a "Moon Pie Festival."
Although Hale also did the mural in the town's landmark building "Moore's Store",his art background is anything but small town. Hale's clients come from all over the world and include such "biggies" as Nike and American Airline.

Magenda White, 49, died July 7 after an alleged altercation at her home two days earlier.
According to sources close to the investigation, White went to the emergency room at Walker Baptist Medical Center Saturday to be checked out after suffering a blow to the head, allegedly during the altercation.
She was released from the hospital, but she died early Monday.
Walker County Coroner J.C. Poe said White's body was sent for an autopsy at the Alabama Department of Forensic Science, but declined to comment further, citing JPD's ongoing investigation.
Jasper police have arrested Travis Moore, 25, of Jasper, in connection with this case. Moore is currently charged with second-degree assault and second-degree kidnapping. Police Chief Connie Cooner Rowe said her department's investigation into the case will continue and more charges may be added in the future.
Moore is being held in the Walker County Jail on $100,000 cash bond.
Jasper police are also investigating an alleged attack on White's daughter at Burger King last Saturday.
Rowe said the department was seeking two black females who may have witnessed the alleged assault and who helped the victim following the incident.
Anyone with information on either investigation is asked to call the Jasper Police Department at 221-2121.

Democrat Jamie Rigsby is the only candidate running for the District 1 seat, which covers the Farmstead and Curry communities.
There are, however, two candidates in the race for the District 3 seat, which covers the Parrish, Oakman, Cordova and Valley communities. District 3 incumbent Mike Raines, a Republican, will face Democratic opponent Bill Edd Gilbert, who served as a board member from 2000 to 2006.
Raines, a welder with Alagasco, said he is proud of the accomplishments made by the Board of Education in the last two years, which are the direct result of a great relationship between the board and Superintendent Jason Adkins.
Raines said that in particular, he points to the financial progress made by the school district as a major accomplishment. He said the Walker County School System went from a deficit of $4.7 million in 2011 to a surplus of $6 million.
Raines said the board made such progress by cutting waste — particularly at the central office.
"I am proud of what I have been able to accomplish so far by working as a team with the rest of the board," he said. "My work is not complete. I am not finished yet. Let's not go backwards to an old way of thinking."
Gilbert is a Cordova native and a former owner of the Rebel Queen, which was destroyed by the tornado of April 27, 2011.
Gilbert said he hopes to work with the board to make schools safer for students and to strengthen programs like the Walker County Center of Technology, agri-science programs and activities like Cordova's fishing team or Dora High School's rodeo team.
"Programs like that keep students academically involved," he said.
Gilbert also said that though he is a longtime resident of District 3, he plans to serve all of Walker County if elected.

Decantus Aerator Deluxe 4-Piece Set (P/N 7700). But did you know that some aerating methods are far superior to others? Scientifically engineered for maximum effectiveness, Decantus employs the Bernoulli Effect* to open up a fine red's flavor faster and more effectively than other decanters, creating a smoother, more enjoyable wine drinking experience. Decantus' distinctive design makes pouring easier and presentation more impressive too.The Decantus Deluxe 4-Piece Set includes a Decantus Deluxe aerator with base, velvet storage pouch, and cleaning brush.*The Decantus utilizes the Bernoulli (a Swiss scientist) effect where the reduced pressure of a stream of fluid (wine) draws an air flow through diagonal thin tubes inside the Decantus. The wider opening and larger liquid capacity of the top reservoir bowl makes pouring in Decantus easy. Wine travels through the Decantus without a whirlpool effect, because of the vertical planar insert. The "froth" from the Decantus has finer bubbles giving smoother aeration than any other aerator on the market.
It's a well-known fact that properly decanting and aerating wine can add untold depth, dimension, subtlety, and flavor.

— CHICAGO — After Wisconsin's quarterfinal win on Friday in the Big Ten Tournament, Bo Ryan was asked about his team's success against its next opponent, Indiana.
"I don't know about anything that you're talking about," Ryan said. "I don't even think about those kinds of things. Never have. And people that know me will tell you that."
How about after the Badgers defeated the top-seeded Hoosiers 68-56 on Saturday, Wisconsin's 12th straight win in the series which denied IU the chance for the program's first conference tournament championship?
"We don't really think about that," Jared Berggren said. "We just take it one game at a time. We wanted to come down here to try to win a championship.
"But we knew that we were capable of having success against this team. If we stuck to our rules and played our style of basketball, we were able to do that today to come up with a win."
Indeed, the Badgers (23-10) stuck to their game plan while the Hoosiers (27-6) did not.
"We've been defending the three the last six or seven games at an incredibly high level. And today we didn't," Indiana coach Tom Crean said.
Wisconsin wasn't stellar from 3-point range, hitting just 7-of-18 (38.9 percent). But each make seemed to come just as the Hoosiers were mounting a comeback.
"They got some kick-out threes and things of that nature, but we got away from what had really been making us better, and we started to over-help again and tried to cover for one another when there was no need to do it," Crean said.
The Badgers led 34-31 at halftime after shooting 15-of-29 from the field. Wisconsin extended its lead to 40-31 before an IU comeback.
The Hoosiers used a 10-0 run, capped by a Remy Abell free throw, to take a 41-40 lead with 13:27 to play. Ben Brust hit a 3-pointer to put Wisconsin back in front, then Jordan Hulls tied the game at 43-all on a jumper with 12:51 remaining.

Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sausage. Cook stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and sausage are browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for a minute or so. Add 1/2 cup water to the pot and once the water is simmering, add the 2 tsp. stock concentrate. Stir until lumps are dissolved. Add greens (you may have to pack them in). Season generously with salt and pepper and pinch of crushed red pepper. Toss the greens well with tongs, and continue simmering on low heat, until the greens are completely cooked and nearly all of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes more.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.

Good News
The US is continuing to fund the UN despite a vow not to if Palestine gets partial member status.
Bad News Senator Casey joined Toomey in voting that US citizens do not have a right not to be detained without trial,
Good News Senator Rand Paul wants to join Bernie Sanders in cutting the military budget, let's see if we can lobby Senator Casey to join them
As far as a deal goes if I was up there I would agree to raise the retirement age only if the US military budget it no higher than any other nation. Be a tone what Casey says on this matter.
Other things to keep track of,
First of all off the subject but very important reformer Elizabeth Warnern was appointed to the House Banking Committee despite intense business lobbying against it, and Senate Berne Sanders is presenting a lot of insight on Social Security. Him and Rand Paul are also talking of cutting Defense Spending,
Current actions
Dec 4, Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, Justin Amash of Michigan were kicked off the Republican side of budget committee, because or in part because they want to cut military spending. The Libertarian caucus also does but they are not on the committee, Google "Tim Huelskamp & Justin Amash". In the Senate Rand Paul the son of Ron Paul also wants military cuts,
See also,
Concerning the Correction on Elizabeth Warren,
If we aren't willing to help those we disagree with on hot button issues stand up for cutting defense waste the US wont have a future for social issue to matter. I quote the following:
" Libertarian star Amash suggested that a willingness to put defense cuts on the table was behind his and Huelskamp's removal from the Budget Committee, as well as Arizona Rep. David Schweikert and North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones' removal from the . . . "

Law Schools
Reducing law school to 2 years would just add to lawyer glut, says law prof
Posted Jan 18, 2013 4:00 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
For decades, a number of attorneys have contended that the third year of law school is an unnecessary waste of time. And, as law school graduates have become increasingly burdened with heavy debt loads, that argument has gained increasing weight.
Leading attorneys, judges and law professors in New York are discussing a possible rule change that would allow law students to take the bar exam after only two years. And two prominent law school administrators argue in a Thursday op-ed article in the New York Times (reg. req.) that this proposal makes a lot of sense.
But another law prof, writing in response to the Times op-ed article by Dean Daniel B. Rodriguez of Northwestern University School of Law and law professor Samuel Estreicher of New York University Law School, says a two-year program isn't the answer either.
While the third year of law school is indeed "worthless" for many students, writes Scott Fruehwald in a Friday post on the Legal Skills Prof Blog, it isn't clear why law grads who aren't ready to practice even after three years of law school are likely to be better off after only two years of legal education. And there are other unresolved issues, too:
"First, lawyers who have only two years of law school will have to compete with lawyers who have three years of law school. Who do you think firms will hire and who will get the best assignments?" writes Fruehwald, who, as a Legal Skills Prof Blog bio details, is a seasoned legal writing professor.
"Second, as is true of public interest law firms, most law firms today do not have the resources or time to train new lawyers," he points out. "Finally, the two-year proposal will not stop the glut of attorneys on the market today. In fact, it might make it worse because more people might go to law school if they only have to go for two years."

Eyewitness News now knows the name of the man involved in an officer involved shooting this weekend on the Las Vegas Strip. Police arrested 23-year-old Victor Ramos.
They say he had been fighting and shooting at someone in another car and was chasing him down the Strip.
Once police stopped him, one officer fired at the car, thinking Ramos was pulling the gun on him. They also found a shotgun inside the car.
The officer who fired the shot is on routine paid administrative leave.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, there was another shooting from a car, but this time it was a pellet gun.
Someone inside a car driving along the Strip opened fire on Diablo's restaurant at the Monte Carlo. No one was hurt and the gunman drove off.
Metro has few leads on the case and has not released more details.

Buzz Peterson Pleased with Smith's Honor
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 14 August 2013 22:10
- Written by Super User
UNCW men's basketball coach Buzz Peterson has always considered North Carolina coaching icon Dean Smith to be presidential in stature. Barack Obama just made it official.
President Obama announced Thursday that Smith will be among those who will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The medal is the nation's highest civilian honor and according to the White House is given to individuals "who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors." Smith, 82, piloted UNC's team from 1961-97 and was the winningest coach in college basketball history when he retired. Peterson heads into his fourth season on the bench with the Seahawks and credits much of his coaching philosophy and success to Smith. "When I was being recruited, I had heard so much about him," Peterson reflected. "Playing for him was a real honor. You learn so much more than just basketball. You learn to discipline your life in the right direction. "We all had so much respect for Coach Smith. We always wanted to bust our butts for him and give 100 percent. He was extremely trustworthy…you could trust Coach Smith with anything."
Before entering the coaching ranks, Peterson enjoyed an outstanding playing career in Chapel Hill. He played four seasons for Smith from 1981-85 and helped lead the Tar Heels to a 115-22 record and four Atlantic Coast Conference championships. He was a member of the 1982 national championship team, where he played with future NBA stars Michael Jordan, James Worthy and Sam Perkins.

Every voter should be concerned about housing!by Peter Miller
There's a year to go before the next presidential election, but already a leading issue among voters is fairly obvious: the housing crisis.
A new survey by Move,Inc. shows that almost 70 percent of all voters said housing will be an "important consideration" in the next election. The survey found that:
- Four out of five (81.7 percent) Americans consider housing to be a critical piece of our national economic recovery
- Nearly three quarters of Americans (73.1 percent) believe conditions for buying a home a year from now will be the same or worse than today
- Just under a quarter (23.2 percent) expects homebuying conditions will be better
It's hard to say what such results will mean for current and future politicians, but the results of this survey do seem to indicate that Americans will be voting with housing issues in mind.
You can bet that upcoming politicall debates will involve back-and-forth disputes over such issues as how to absorb the backlog of distressed real estate, increase home prices, reduce foreclosures, and expand the availability of credit.
HARP: A much needed update
A great example of the need to improve housing and the need to do so before the upcoming election, is the recent expansion of the Obama Administration's Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP).
HARP was designed to give current borrowers with little to negative equity the chance to refinance to current mortgage rates. Under the original plan, borrowers could be as much 25 percent underwater and still qualify. Unfortunately, it quickly became obvious that lenders weren't all that interested in refinancing homeowners under this program.
The enhanced program not only allows borrowers to refinance no matter how underwater they are, it's striving to eliminate certain lender obligations which put them on the hook when a loan goes bad, shifting the responsibility from the lender to the government.
Too much political involvement?
The government's increased role in HARP 2.0 transitions nicely into another facet of the Move,Inc. survey: government participation. The survey found that:
- One in three Americans (31 percent) said the government's role in housing should remain the same as it is today, while one in five (21.3 percent) said it should be increased
- Forty-two percent said government's role in housing should be reduced, especially Americans ages 35 to 64 (56.7 percent)
- Just over two-thirds (67.4 percent) of Millennials (those born between 1980 and 1995) said the president and Congress should reduce or keep the role of government in housing the same
The level of government involvement in housing is a key component in determining how certain housing issues will be resolved. Do you believe the government should continue to expand the programs—like HARP and HAMP—they created and institute more tax credits, or are you of the opinion that the government needs to step back and let the markets correct themselves?
Those opinions will certainly be revealed come election time.
Housing should be an issue for every voter
If nothing else, the Move survey is curious because it reports that 69.6 percent of all potential voters view housing as an important consideration in the next presidential election. Only 69.6 percent!
Why didn't 100 percent of respondents see housing as a major issue in the next presidential election? If voters really stop and think about it, the nation's housing issues are at the center of the financial crisis, and have only expounded the unemployment crisis and lack of economic growth this country is experiencing.
Why 100 percent, or nearly 100 percent, of all voters did not see housing issues as a core problem concerning the upcoming presidential election is difficult to believe.

College of Law faculty are committed teachers, distinguished scholars, and experienced lawyers. Most practiced law before their academic careers and some still practice in their particular areas of interest. All faculty members engage in scholarly research and publication to remain current in and contribute to the theory and practice of law. They are strongly committed to blending legal theory with skills training.
Furthering the college's interdisciplinary vision, a number of professors possess other graduate degrees and teach courses that combine law with such fields as public administration, finance, health care, social psychology, and economics. The faculty—wide-ranging in backgrounds as well as scholarship interests—creates a multi-faceted law school experience rich in opportunity.

Along the way we visited Canberra, several Outback towns, including Wagga Wagga, then on to Melbourne, Vic. From there we flew to Hobart, travelling throughout Tasmania with a rental car, with its astounding scenery and national parks, eg. Cradle Mountain. Back on the mainland along the Great Ocean Road to Adelaide, afterwards driving 2700km along the Nullarbor through Western Australia in a camper. After visiting several scenic spots along the route, eg. Albany, Denmark, the Valley of the Giants, and the Pinnacles we eventually arrived in Perth. This beautiful book, with an English language introduction is a pictorial record of that unique trip and will appeal to those who are contemplating a trip to this massive but "empty" continent.

Dozens of people took to the streets Tuesday in a call for peace on the day Trayvon Martin would have turned 18-years-old.
Martin was shot and killed last year. George Zimmerman, the man accused of killing him, says he shot the teenager in self-defense.
At a hearing Tuesday, a judge denied his request to postpone the start of the trial, which is scheduled to begin in June. Zimmerman's attorney previously requested the trial be moved back to November.
A memorial was held for Martin outside of the courtroom, where supporters sang "happy birthday" and released balloons.

METAIRIE, La. — Rob Ryan spent four seasons working in New England with Bill Belichick as the Patriots' linebackers coach.
He hopes he can match the success he had under Belichick, where he helped coach two Super Bowl champions, with Sean Payton.
In just half a year with New Orleans, he already can see the similarities between the franchises, not exactly a bad compliment for the Saints.
"I think it was a unique situation I was in in New England and it's the same one here," Ryan said. "There's a reason why these two coaches are so successful. They make you be successful."
While Ryan thinks "it was probably hard for" Belichick with him on staff, the Patriots' coach remembers is differently.
"He's good in the running game, good in the passing game, good on situation football," Belichick said. "He's got a good energy; he installs a solid confidence within his players because he's always prepared. He knows what to do and I think that carries over to the people he works with…at least it did here. I really enjoyed having Rob on the staff here."
Ryan, for what it's worth, fondly remembers his time in New England.
"I had great memories out there, learned a ton of football," Ryan said. "There's no way I'd still be coaching without my experience working with Bill Belichick."
Ryan's path to New Orleans, where he's coaching with a legitimate Super Bowl contender for the first time since leaving New England, saw both ups and downs.
In five seasons in Oakland, his defenses finished as low as No. 30 (his first season) and as high as No. 3 (his third season). In 2006 and 2007, the Raiders boasted the league's No. 1 and No. 2 passing defenses, respectively.
Two seasons in Cleveland were disappointing, though the 2010 unit was No. 13 in scoring defense while he had a top 16 unit in 2011 in his first of two years in Dallas.
Finally in New Orleans, where he's backed by the No. 3 total offense and No. 9 scoring offense, Ryan has a chance to unleash his full book of defenses. New Orleans ranks No. 11 in total defense but No. 4 in scoring defense.
He's able to use what he has learned from Belichick and his father Buddy Ryan and in nearly 30 years as a coach.
"The only system I knew, which was a great system, was all about pressure," Rob Ryan said. "And then when I went to Belichick, after coordinating in college football, I think I had one way to play and I knew it all. Hell, I had no idea how much I didn't know."
He added, "I learned so much about situational football. I knew nothing about situational football until I got with Belichick. It's been great. We're still learning."
Belichick, for one, sees a Saints defense that isn't surprised very much by what has been thrown at it.
"Rob's teams have always been – we played against them at Oakland, at Dallas, and now this week at New Orleans, but just watching his defenses play –they're always very well prepared," Belichick said. "They're a good situational team. They do things weekly that attack the specific opponent that they're playing, keep you off balance and present problems that hit at your weaknesses."

Best Uses
I use this to chisel up tile off concrete.
Best Uses
This rotary hammer was just like brand new. It looked felt and even smelled like brand new even though it said reconditioned. The only way to tell the difference is the tag on the case.
Best Uses
This reconditioned product caught my eye due to the low price from CPO. I received the tool and it looked brand new! Even more important it ran like it was brand new too!
This is the fastest drilling rotary hammer that I have ever used!
I highly recommend!
Best Uses
I purchased this hammer to drill lots of holes for anchors in concrete, the occasional inch-plus hole for conduit penetrations, plus a little chipping here and there. This Makita seems like it will handle that just fine, though I have not drilled a hole larger than 1/2 inch diameter yet.
Some things that aren't so great:
The side handle and depth gauge are kind of clumsy. You can't just loosen the handle, rotate it to the angle you want, and then tighten it up again. Well, sort of, but the side handle assembly rides on a series of notches on the body of the tool, and when you loosen the handle to rotate it (as you would with almost any other rotary hammer), the handle doesn't rotate smoothly. So you loosen it more, and then it is too loose and falls out of alignment. Kind of clumsy.
Also, the depth gauge gets in the way of rotating the side handle. Like I say, kind of clumsy.
On the whole, the tool has a vague feel of being made of pretty plastic stuff covering up rough-fitted metal. (I use Makita LXT litium-ion drills and impact drivers, and they feel as precise as surgical instruments to me, in comparison with this one.) It doesn't seem to be the height of Makita's engineering expertise.
It does not have the power to truly excel as a chipping or breaking hammer. However, that's not what you use this kind of tool for.
So that's what isn't so great. Now I will tell you what I like about it.
I like that it is light enough and compact enough to use overhead, for extended periods. It really is.
It takes a while to get much done when chipping or breaking. But, it is right at home making 1/2 inch holes. It takes maybe 15 seconds to shoot a 1/2 inch hole six inches deep. I have not made holes larger than 1/2 inch, so we'll see about that.
The chuck is compact and really easy to use.
I like the way the drill/hammer selector works. It turns easy enough, feels precise. If you are going to be chiseling, you can align the chisel the way you prefer, then move the selector to hammer-only, and hammer away. Works fine.
The variable-speed trigger works great. It does not give you full-power hammer-blows when running at low speed, which is nice for starting holes out, so you don't bounce all over the place and make moon-craters out of what you're drilling.
It has an LED light on the front of the motor housing that helps... some.
The rear handle has some anti-vibration cushioning which does help.
The cord is pretty long. It has a ferrite thing on it to reduce the interference it would otherwise produce. It can get caught on things if you're not careful.
The price and shipping cost from CPO on this tool was fabulous. I bought a reconditioned unit, and it may as well have been new.
I would buy another one.
Best Uses
I eyed this puppy forever, final broken down and made the purchase. Worth its weight in gold! You never realize how useful a hammer drill can be until you get one. Drove through a cider block wall on my house to run cables like butter. You won't regret this purchase!

Thursday gossip roundup: Russell Brand wants to chop the Queen's head off
Better late than never: Lindsay Lohan has finally reached a settlement for a lawsuit relating to a 2007 reckless driving incident during which she took three men "hostage" while chasing down her assistant, according to TMZ. The incident resulted in Lohan's second DUI arrest. On the night in question, the three men arrived at a party in Malibu just as Lohan's assistant quit her job and drove off. Lohan reportedly commandeered the men's car — with them in it — to make chase. During the chase, the men say Lohan was "'hostile,' declaring she 'didn't care about the risk of death' and saying 'she was a celebrity, she could do whatever she wants.'" She was later arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and cocaine. Lohan has reportedly agreed to pay off the three men, though the sum was undisclosed, and a dismissal is expected to be filed soon.
Charlie Sheen is quick to deny claims that he had another wild hotel room party in New York last weekend that resulted in him being banned from any Ritz-Carlton property. "It's just stupid," Sheen tells Hollyscoop. "Its just totally beneath me to even comment on it. It's just that people are so jealous. It's like, 'Another comeback from this guy? Let's just beat him while he's down.' I'm kind of bothered by that, too, but who cares? I'm here and they're not, you know? Period, the end, right?" Sheen's reps say no such party took place, and they've even produced a Ritz employee to chime in with, "Charlie was here for three days. He looked so good. He was clean and sober and very friendly." The employee added that Sheen's room "was clean" when he checked out.
Russell Brand is unimpressed with the British royal family and thinks it's time for a change. The recent Diamond Jubilee, celebrating the Queen's 60-year reign, didn't help matters, either. "People need to have things to celebrate otherwise we realize that we are oppressed and unable to express ourselves freely because we are at the behest of all these corporate entities," Brand says in an interview with Conan O'Brien. "So yeah, have a party to distract us from the fact that we're being tyrannized, why not?" So what's Brand's solution? "It's time for a bloody revolution," he says. "It only takes one to chop off someone's head."
Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are reportedly expecting twins — and it was one of their "True Blood" co-stars who let the news out. Sam Trammell, who stars on the HBO series with Paquin and Moyer and is a father to twins himself, tells Us Weekly he's been doing his best to prepare the parents-to-be. "It's harder, having twins, but it's all we know. So we're trying to impart some decent wisdom." Trammell says. "I told them to hold on tight."
"Captain America" star Chris Evans admits that he's about ready to settle down, but first he has to find Mrs. Right, according to Women's Health. So what qualities is he most looking for? "I like women who get emotional about babies and puppies. I've met some incredibly cool women who are tough, but the woman you marry should have a really soft side," Evans says. On the other hand, he adds that "arrogance and false modesty" really put him off. "Nothing is worse than a beautiful girl fishing for compliments by saying how gross she is," Evans says. "On the flip side, I find genuine humility and modesty attractive."
Hayden Christensen has won a major legal victory thanks to a decision by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals that reopens his case against USA Television Network for allegedly ripping off his idea for the show "Royal Pains," about a disgraced doctor who makes house calls to the wealthy in the Hamptons, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Christensen maintains that his production company pitched a show to USA called "Housecall," about a disgraced doctor who treats the rich and famous in Malibu. Last year, a federal judge dismissed Christensen's claim, but the appeal decision sends it back for further proceedings.

Issue 4 - Changes in Noaa/Recreational Fisheries Management
Background: For many years, there has been debate about whether Commerce is the right federal department to contain the National Marine Fisheries Service. Certainly the recreational-fishing community has long noted the agency's origins in and continuing emphasis on developing commercial fishing/fisheries, part of the reason that the trust recreational anglers have in NOAA Fisheries to manage them and their fisheries is at an all-time low.
SPORT FISHING: Would your administration act to move the management of saltwater fisheries into another department, such as the Department of the Interior, and/or in some other way make NOAA Fisheries more responsive to the particular needs of its recreational-angling constituency?
OBAMA: I have proposed moving NOAA to the Department of Interior, streamlining these two agencies with similar missions to make them more efficient and effective for taxpayers and their customers, including the recreational-fishing community. Sportsmen and the organizations that represent them have a long and successful history of working with the Department of Interior to help guide natural-resource management in a manner that balances maximum access with scientific management.
Along with that transition, I am committed to supporting the programs vital to America's fishing industry and sport fishermen, and ensuring that science remains the foundation of ocean management. That is why I will continue to support targeted investments in fisheries research and observation. These programs support a fishing economy built to last.
Issue 5 - Why Angers Should Vote for You This Year
SPORT FISHING: Within 500 words, tell this country's 13 million recreational saltwater anglers why it's in their best interest to vote for you.
OBAMA: I am committed to ensuring that our nation's vast natural resources are used responsibly, and that we maintain healthy oceans and coasts. We have created or enhanced more than 540 public coastal recreation areas, protected more than 54,000 acres of coastlines and restored more than 5,200 acres of coastal habitat. And we are working to ensure the integrity of the waters Americans rely on every day for drinking, swimming, and fishing by supporting initiatives that restore our rivers and watersheds.
We know that sportsmen have always been some of the strongest advocates for conservation, and recreational fishermen will always have a seat at the table in my administration. We have created a new senior adviser position within NOAA focused on recreational fishing, hosted a recreational fishing summit, developed an Action Agenda based on input from the summit, and met 80 percent of the near-term goals established by that agenda within a year. The recommendations and subsequent actions that have resulted from our work in this area will pay great dividends to both our marine environment and our coastal economy.
I am committed to pursuing strategies that encourage conservation of our national lands and waters. We are taking important steps to restore treasured landscapes that support recreation across the country. We kicked off the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the largest investment in the Great Lakes in two decades, which is targeting ecological problems such as invasive species, toxic hot spots, polluted runoff from farms and cities, and declining wildlife habitat. We are cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay, establishing a "pollution diet" for the Bay that will help restore the natural habitat for fish and other wildlife in Maryland and Virginia. We have also invested more than $1.4 billion in Everglades' restoration, helping to keep my promise to fully fund the federal partnership for Everglades' restoration and helping restore tens of thousands of acres, which will serve as a sanctuary for native Florida plants and wildlife. We are also directing additional funding to Gulf Coast restoration to further bring back the fisheries and coastal ecosystems, which are still recovering in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon spill.
When it comes to recreational fishing, I will continue to prioritize wise investments in science and management initiatives that result in more accurate assessments of the state of our fish stocks, and ultimately provide more fishing opportunity. I will encourage the rapid transition of data to policy, and a balanced approach that permits adequate access to fishing today while we ensure that fish are here tomorrow for our children and our grandchildren to enjoy.

Kelley is the woman who turned the FBI on to Paula Broadwell's emails to her, Broadwell's relationship with CIA Director Petraeus, and Kelley's own email correspondence with General Allen.
We reached out to ranking officers and they'd never heard of the position or the role either. One source familiar with Central Command says, "I have no idea what a "social liaison" is. Maybe a community organizer? Who knows?"
This same source says that the Pentagon is scaling back the 20-30,000 emails sent between Allen and Kelley to "hundreds". Still not an inconsiderable number.
Though there are several official civilian 'liaison' positions that do exist, and are established on most military bases — for example the "School Liaison Officer" and "The Exceptional Family Program Liaison" — this is not one of them.
There are also several unofficial and official 'wives' networks that function with the military, but these tend to be headed by military wives/spouses; and when working on official business with the military, the spouses are checked out by base command to be sure of marriage status and standing in the community.
Finally, not even CENTCOM, the unit Jill Kelley supposedly represents, recognizes the position.
In an email sent to Business Insider, CENTCOM's official position is: "Mrs. Kelley has no official position with U.S. Central Command. She is a volunteer and a private citizen, not an employee; because of this, and because there is an ongoing investigation, we have no additional information to provide."
A volunteer for what exactly is not explicitly said, and the cloak of an ongoing investigation blocks any further comment.
Though the first sentence is key, "no official position," which means that her "job" as a social liaison is in all likelihood a self-appointed, loosely-recognized post.

How work invades your personal life
There was a time when employees showed up for work Monday through Friday and worked eight to nine hours. The boundaries between work and home were fairly clear then. But the world has changed and, unfortunately, the boundaries have blurred for many workers. Here's why:
"X Global economy. As more skilled workers enter the global labor market and companies outsource or move more jobs to reduce labor costs, people feel pressured to work longer and produce more to protect their jobs.
"X International business. Work continues around the world 24 hours a day for some people. If you work in an international organization, you might be on call around the clock for troubleshooting or consulting.
"X Advanced communication technology. People now have the ability to work anywhere ¡X from their home, from their car and even on vacation. And some managers expect that.
"X Longer hours. Employers commonly ask employees to work longer hours than they're scheduled. Often, overtime is mandatory. If you hope to move up the career ladder, you may find yourself regularly working more than 40 hours a week to achieve and exceed expectations.
"X Changes in family roles. Today's married worker is typically part of a dual-career couple, which makes it difficult to find time to meet commitments to family, friends and community.
If you've experienced any of these challenges, you understand how easy it is for work to invade your personal life.

Are Venus and Earth in a long-distance relationship? The heart of Venus may belong to Earth. "Whenever Venus and Earth arrive at the closest point in their orbits, Venus always presents the same face to us. This could mean that Earth's gravity is tugging subtly on Venus, affecting its rotation rate." Read more

In mid-January, Astronomer Parke Kunkle was in the news with his claim that due to changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed. This was because astronomers have now decided to let the constellation Ophiuchus be part of their astronomical zodiac. Of course, he did not understand that astrologers use the names from the constellations, but not the actual constellations (which are definitely not conveniently spread exactly 30 degrees apart). But for those who know little to nothing about the actual practice of astrology, this was considered a BIG DEAL!
Faculty member Bruce Scofield was interviewed for the News program Mass Appeal "to explain this whole astrology thing a little further." Click here for a video of the interview.
Kepler College would like to give a special thank-you for scholarship money and assistance from the astrological organizations who contributed in the 2009-2010 school year. In particular, we would like to thank,
Kepler is setting up some special thanks for organizations that help, particularly those who aid students who are working to complete their degrees over the next two years.
Faculty member Bruce Scofield received his PhD from the University of Massachusetts in 2010. His Doctoral Defense was given on October 5, 2009. His committee includedLynn Margulis (Chair), Rob Deconto, Frank Keimig, Brian Ogilvie and Ted Sargent. He worked on Gaia theory and solar system influences on climate and life; how minute fluctuations in the cosmic environment are amplified and accomplish profound transformations in the atmosphere and biosphere. Click here for a copy of his dissertation.
Specifically, his thesis examined temperature variations in the northern hemisphere correlated with Saturn-Sun geocentric alignments. For the past five years at the U. of Mass. he also assisted Lynn Margulis in her course Environmental Evolution and has conducted discussion sections for James Walker's honors course Cosmos to Humanity (Bio 270H) which surveys current scientific knowledge from the Big Bang to the future of life, all in the context of the theory of evolution.

It's no secret the Treasure Coast is home to some of the most exclusive private communities and some of the highest priced luxury properties in Florida.
During the past five years, both Celine Dion and Tiger Woods have built massive estate homes in Martin County's ritzy Jupiter Island. Billionaire H. Wayne Huizenga, actor Burt Reynolds, Grammy Award-winning singer Gloria Estefan and alternative singer-songwriter Tori Amos all own properties on the Treasure Coast for a reason.
With that in mind, I thought a local Treasure Coast resident may find this proposition interesting. It's from a news release that I received last night.
California-based Doron Ofir Casting and Popular Productions, Inc., is looking for privileged couples in serious committed relationships for a new lavish lifestyle docu-series celebrating "the joy of individuals who have found their perfect match."
Sounds like another version of Bravo's Real Housewives series sans Teresa Giudice's table throwing and Ramona Singer's crazy eyes. If you watch The Real Housewives of New York City and The Real Housewives of New Jersey, you exactly know what I mean.
According to the release, the company hopes to find influential couples in elite society for the casting of a new reality program tentatively titled, "Life, Love and Luxury." Specifically, the casting directors hope to tell the "love stories of the next generation of American Royalty."
"Most shows explore the search for love," said executive casting director Doron Ofir in the release. "This sets itself apart by telling the story of what comes after. I would love to find our version of Kate and William."
According to this story in Newsweek, Doron Ofir, a former Miami resident, is the casting director who chose the Jersey Shore housemates. A new season filmed in Italy starts at 10 p.m. Thursday on MTV.
The company is inviting couples to share their "personal fairy tale" and apply to be part of "Life, Love and Luxury" at www.elitecouplescasting.com. Emails can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also call casting producers at (323) 203-1334.
According to the release, Ofir has also casted for other reality shows like Millionaire Matchmaker, Million Dollar Listing and Design Star.
Could John's Island or Windsor be home to the next hit reality series?

With the weather as nice as it's expected to be today, and those "S" words in the forcast, a nice trip to Marshland Road in Apalachin to W&W nursery is a great little visit. Even if you're not going to the nursery, there are beautiful things to see and photograph. Work is continuing on the 3rd chain saw sculpture, and the duck pond with fountain is so picturesque with the red barn in the background. I'm often told of outlying photo opportunities in NYS, but say. I don't have to go far. There is always something of beauty right here in my own "back yard".

Herman Cortes arrived in the West Indies in 1504, traveled on to Cuba in 1511 and marched into the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan (Mexico City) in 1519. There he encountered the highly developed society of the Aztecs. The Spanish were impressed with Tenochtitlan, which they called, "another Venice". The city had been constructed on two islands in the middle of a lake. The Aztecs had designed floating gardens that yielded crops, most of the streets were canals and the city was connected to the mainland with causeways.
Cortes was accompanied with 600 Spaniards, 200 native Cubans, horses, and armed cannons, muskets, and crossbows. He allied himself with the people of Tlaxcala, adversaries of the Aztecs, and resentful of their militaristic domination over the surrounding areas. He was also accompanied by two interpreters, Geronimo de Aguilar, a priest who had been shipwrecked and captured by indigenous people of Yucatan and a woman called variously, Malintzin, Marina of La Malinche.
Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, was a deity in the Aztec mythology who had sailed away in ancient times promising to return in a certain year. Montezuma, the Aztec King, had heard reports of sightings and encounters with the Spaniards. He was a ruler who was plagued by nightmares and influenced by omens and began to wonder if the people moving inland were possibly this god or representatives of the god. When Cortes arrived at the capital he was welcomed by Montezuma who said in a speech that was translated by La Malinche, "You have come back to us; you have come down from the sky…Welcome to your land, my lords."
Cortes soon took Montezuma captive and a struggle soon broke out over who would gain control of the city. The Spanish attacked the Aztecs during a religious holiday and killed Montezuma in 1520. After that the Aztec's retaliated by attacking Cortes and his men on a night that became known as "la noche triste". Cortes was forced to lead his troops and allies out of the city. Five hundred of the conquistadors perished and forty were taken prisoner for sacrificial purposes. He recaptured the city in 1521 after a campaign of isolating the city's food and water supply for four months. Cortes' reports of his exploits took the form of five letters addressed to Emperor Charles V.
