Charlie Weis visits Jacoby Brissett, Curt Maggitt; Florida Gators offer Jacoby Brissett
By Matt Porter
On his first recruiting trip, Charlie Weis went to see a quarterback Urban Meyer had snubbed.
The new Gators offensive coordinator, along with receivers coach Aubrey Hill, traveled to Dwyer High Friday morning to recruit senior Jacoby Brissett.
Dwyer coach Jack Daniels said Weis, a four-time Super Bowl winner, wore a ring "the size of somebody's hand" and "a ton of stories about what he's done and situations he's handled" in his two decades as a college and NFL coach.
He also brought back a good report to Will Muschamp. After meeting with Weis Friday evening, the Gators coach offered Brissett a full scholarship. Former head coach Urban Meyer had only extended a greyshirt offer, which Brissett turned down.

"It went well," Dwyer coach Jack Daniels said of Weis' visit with Brissett and senior defensive end Curt Maggitt, also a Gators target. "He's really good. He has a great sense of humor, and he's very straightforward and honest. … [Brissett and Maggitt] asked a lot of questions."
Daniels said Brissett will head to Gainesville this weekend for an unofficial visit, but it will be to see Florida's basketball team take on South Carolina. Brissett, who wants to try his hand at playing football and basketball in college, is close friends with Dwyer alum Ramon Galloway, a shooting guard for South Carolina.
"I don't know how much football stuff he'll be doing," Daniels said of Brissett's weekend activities.
Florida has long coveted Maggitt, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound defensive end/outside linebacker and The Palm Beach Post's Large Schools Defensive Player of the Year. Maggitt was impressed by Weis, Daniels said, but would not commit to a visit. He is visiting Tennessee this weekend.
Florida State offensive coordinator James Coley met with Brissett after Weis, and Daniels said the visit went well but that Coley told him "Jacoby's wide open, which he is." Dwyer senior Nick O'Leary, who has long favored the Seminoles, made an official visit to Tallahassee this weekend.
With their final official visit, Brissett and Maggitt could visit Florida or Miami. "I think those guys want to take a visit together," Daniels said.
If they take a visit to Florida, Maggitt and Brissett might run into Dwyer alums Matt Elam, Gerald Christian and Robert Clark, all of whom played for the Gators last year as true freshmen.
Brissett is considering Florida, Miami, Florida State, South Carolina, Wisconsin and in a late surprise, Washington.
Maggitt was visited last week by new Florida head coach Will Muschamp, who asked him to make an official visit to Gainesville. Maggitt said he was not ready at the time. Maggitt is considering offers from Alabama, Florida, Miami, LSU, Tennessee and Wisconsin. He is very much up in the air with his decision, according to sources.
Weis, who was the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive coordinator last season and held the same duties with the New York Jets and New England Patriots before a stint as Notre Dame's head coach, has pledged to install a pro-style offense in Gainesville. That would seem to suit the 6-foot-5, 230-pound Brissett, who has a big arm. As the Gators (and 'Canes, for that matter) were reminded last season, a program does well to have options at quarterback.
The Post's Gators reporter, Jason Lieser, points out that one of the two would likely redshirt. Since he is already enrolled, Driskel would seem to have an advantage since he can play spring football.

On July 20, one of the biggest LED video screens ever used at a major motor racing event and one of the largest systems ever supplied by G-LEC gave race-goers at Hockenheim Ring a remarkable view.
In cooperation with Hockenheim Ring GmbH, host of Formula 1 Santander Grand Prix, the massive 984-square-foot (300square-meters) screen provided spectators in the long Innen Tribüne, a long stand inside the track where spectators were up to 1,312-feet (400 meters) from the screen, with a television view of the race.
Using 299 Phantom30 frames, the 75-foot (23 meters) wide x 42-foot (13 meters) deep screen is thought to be the largest LED screen ever used at such a major motor racing event. Built specifically for the three-day event, the screen needed to be easy to construct and de-rig, but also needed to present extremely low wind resistance. Indeed the pre-race days saw strong winds and torrential rain, but the G-LEC screen, even brighter than the high resolution screens used at the pit stops, continued to perform brilliantly.
Using a system that comprised 52 PSUs, two S-Drives and two Folsom video converters, the video feed was supplied by the Ring as composite video over 150 metres of cable into the Folsom units. These then converted the signal DVI for the Phantom 30 S-Drives, which transmitted the LED drive signals over optical fibre daisy chained to each of the 276 frames. Despite such a long feed, the video display was solid as a rock and the colours bright and vivid.
Lars Wolf, managing director of G-LEC, says: "As well as showing the race on the day itself, the screen was also used with a solid white signal for announcements, timetables and weather forecasts. I was delighted at how well the system performed, and we have received a lot of enquiries as a result. This is absolutely the best screen for outdoor events and I am sure we will see G-LEC used more and more at events of this type."
The free-standing truss structure, designed and supplied by Megaforce, included three levels of flooring on each side of the screen for special guests. The screen itself hung from a 23m wide single span truss frame, possible because the screen weighed just 2.5 tons, and as well as being easy to rig, was also economical in use, requiring just 100kW / 150A. Calculated to withstand strong winds, the whole structure was fully approved by Germany's TÜV standards body as a temporary building for its ability to withstand the elements.The project was managed for G-LEC by Achim Lehrke, who was assisted by Stephan Gerber, Markus Soroberto, Dario Santos, and Stefan Jung.

Crews in Charlotte put finishing touches on the Time Warner Arena before the Democratic National Convention kicks into high gear Tuesday night with First Lady Michelle Obama at the helm.
The public will hear speeches from First Lady Michelle Obama, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Governor Pat Quinn and 8th district congressional candidate Tammy Duckworth.
FOX's Nicole Collins report the president's better half has a pretty high favorable rating among Americans, and she's what most independent voters like about the White House.
The Obama camp hopes the First Lady can once again be a positive force for his campaign. She is expected to provide a personal touch when speaking about her husband.
Mrs. Obama took a walk-through of the North Carolina arena on Labor Day. She is scheduled to address the convention at 9 p.m. Tuesday. Mayor Emanuel will make his address in the evening, before the First Lady.
WATCH LIVE: Speeches from Charlotte - Democratic National Convention
Illinois delegates at the Democratic National Convention receive a set of talking points every morning, in case they get asked questions by reporters.
Yesterday a series of bullet points were placed on the delegates' chairs that include phrases like, "Republicans are trying to bury their unpopular ideas because they are political suicide" and "Republicans are promoting 'Fire Madigan' buttons in order to cause a distraction."
FOX's Doug Luzader reports President Obama is currently on a swing state tour as he makes his way to Charlotte, where he'll accept the Democratic Party's presidential nomination Thursday night.
Democrats in Charlotte celebrated union power in a state that hardly embraces it on Labor Day, but North Carolina isn't exactly a lock for either side.
President Obama took a quick break from the campaign trail to tour hurricane damage in Louisiana, but much of his holiday was spent in Ohio firing up the union vote.
"[It's] a day that belongs to the working men and women of America," Obama said, "teachers and factory workers, construction workers and students and families and small business owners.
Back in Charlotte, just outside the convention gates, Republicans have set up a rapid response center to counter the expected onslaught of attacks. Paul Ryan fired a shot at the Democrats by appearing in North Carolina - albeit about a four hour drive away.
"There's a little gathering going on over in Charlotte," Ryan said. "Heard about this? The president can say a lot of things, and he will, but they can't tell you that you're better off."
That's the line Republicans will press all week, trying to steal the spotlight from the Democratic national Convention. Advisers to the president told FOX News that he is tinkering with his acceptance speech to address this very issue. But the address is still a work in progress.

"We all call Earth home. Of all the planets and other bodies in the solar system, Earth is the only place that supports life. That makes our planet one of a kind!"
Our Earth introduces the planet we know so well in its place within our solar system. It continues with the formation of the solar system and the reasons Earth can support life. This first section explains orbit, axis, rotation, and revolution, and then begins to explore inner Earth.
The remaining chapters of the book fill in information about the land, the oceans, the atmosphere, and the biomes on Earth. The final chapter addresses photosynthesis, weather, and the water cycle, all parts of the processes that allow life to thrive here.
Our Earth is an excellent survey of our planet and a great introduction to each of these individual processes that take place. Photographs and diagrams add information and highlighted vocabulary is defined at the bottom of the page where it was introduced. The text is reader-friendly and the book has an appealing layout that shows the information well. Fun facts are sprinkled on some of the pages. Back matter includes a glossary, a read more section, Internet sites, and an index. Joanne Mattern does an excellent job with science subjects and it's a fun book to read. The book hits on a number of science concepts—all in one book. In all its complexities, who can get tired of reading about the Earth and its amazing processes?
Activity 1
Choose a topic from the book and find out more about that subject. You might want to investigate plate tectonics, the water cycle, the carbon cycle (not in book but interesting!), Earth's atmosphere, the moon, the Sun, or photosynthesis. Make your own poster or display to share the information you learned.
These links will get you started: tides, plate tectonics, water cycle, carbon cycle, Earth's atmosphere, photosynthesis, moon, Sun
Activity 2
Choose another planet. Then look up information about that planet and create a chart or Venn diagram to compare and contrast the Earth and that planet. This activity could be done as a group project, too.
NASA's site has planet information. Click on the planet and then go down to the read more tab.

Stephen Curry sprained his right ankle during Wednesday's shootaround and will be a game-time decision for the Golden State Warriors' game against the Miami Heat, according to Contra Costa Times' Marcus Thompson. Thompson said that Curry is in a "wait and see mode" leading into the game.
The injury that ESPN's Brian Windhorst described only as an aggravation was to the same ankle that required extensive rehab after offseason surgery. That was his second ankle surgery in two years.
Thompson reports that Curry injured the ankle when landing on center Festus Ezeli's foot.
Already considered a game-time decision after hyperextending his right knee during Sunday's 116-105 loss to the Denver Nuggets, the point guard sat out of Tuesday's practice because of that injury.
Averaging 20.5 points, 6.6 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game, the fourth-year point guard appeared to be out of the woods as far as his ankle troubles were concerned. He's played in all 36 games for the Warriors this year and until this point held up well in 38 minutes per outing.
UPDATE: Curry will not play in Wednesday night's game vs. the Heat. X-rays on the injured ankle were negative.

Brooding Bill Madden hasn't been this ticked off since Lucy Ann Polk split from The Four Polks!
One can only imagine what Pete Rose must have been thinking last week seeing convicted felon Barry Bonds , an arrogant, surly "anti-ambassador" of baseball his entire career, who cheated his way past Hank Aaron to the all-time home run record and then lied about his use of steroids to everyone, including a federal grand jury, back in uniform for the San Francisco Giants as a special spring training instructor.
There but for his own arrogance and lying about his transgressions against baseball could he too be back in baseball?
It was indeed a strange coincidence that Bonds should end his seven-year exile at the same time Rose's ban for betting on baseball is now coming up on its 25th anniversary, and he was featured in the Daily News and on the cover of Sports Illustrated as the subject of a new book by SI's Kostya Kennedy, "Pete Rose — An American Dilemma." It probably says everything about Bonds' return to the Giants that, on the day he arrived in camp last week, neither managing general partner Larry Baer nor GM Brian Sabean was anywhere to be found. You can be sure no one was more repulsed by Bonds' appearance in the Giants camp than commissioner Bud Selig. Unfortunately, Selig was powerless to stop it because, despite being the poster guy for the steroids era in baseball, Bonds never failed a drug test, and despite Bonds' post-career conviction for obstruction of justice in the government's BALCO steroids case, the commissioner was unable to suspend him for conduct detrimental to baseball.
It's believed Bonds wangled his invitation after lobbying some of the Giants' limited partners and Baer, realizing that, like it or not, the Giants are eventually going to have start accepting him as part of their history, reluctantly gave the okay. And no doubt with the Hall of Fame in mind, Bonds was all nicey-nice with the reporters he held in contempt during his playing days, reminding me of the famous line by legendary New York baseball writer Frank Graham, about '20s Yankee outfielder Bob Meusel, who shunned the writers most of his career until finally deciding to oblige them in his last season: "He's learning to say hello, when it's time to say goodbye."

There had to be some sort of agreement to keep him out of the game which seems like it should be illegal.
Has there ever been an explanation that there wasn't a single team that was willing to sign him for a minimum salary?
Madden is so terrible.
the federal investigation was hanging over Bonds' head and one general sentiment was that Bonds serving considerable jail time was a possibility

And another was that he'd have to miss a big chunk of the upcoming season for his trial.
And another was that he'd have to miss a big chunk of the upcoming season for his trial.
It still doesn't explain why no team moved to sign Bonds during or just after that year's All-Star Break, when it was crystal clear that no trial was going to take place until after the postseason.
We can only hope that Bud Selig properly rewarded Mets ownership with a "Thank you so much... no, seriously, thanks a lot."
I always looked at it from the other direction.
They simply figured that Bonds's baggage wasn't worth the agra. Obviously it was a shortsighted and self-defeating decision from many different angles, but outside of San Francisco it wouldn't have been a popular signing, and it's not exactly news that baseball owners are extremely PR-conscious when it comes to anything but jacking up their prices.
Why would baseball owners risk the damages that come from a collusion finding simply to put one guy out of uniform a few years early?
I think you're overstating the risk. IIRC, collusion carries triple damages. So let's say an arbitrator decides an unencumbered 43 year old Bonds would have gotten $12 million, that's just a little over $1 mil per club. That could easily have been seen as well worth the risk.
Barry Bonds must surely wonder who the #### Bill Madden is and why he has a hard-on for convicted felon Pete Rose.
wasnt Bonds knee in some sort of deteriorating condition at that point and he was missing tons of games?
they sat him down the last two weeks in sept
signing the late Trot Nixon
30 teams independently decided that the risk of guy making $400,000 might miss all or most of the season outweighed the potential reward of having the previous year's best hitter? Not buying it for a second.
That the owners can't agree on anything except that there were fifty or sixty better "25th man" options in 2008 than Barry Bonds is an argument for a silent blackballing, not against it. For 2011, Matt Stairs was 43 and was coming off a 6-HR season in which he hit the DL for a knee injury. The Nats paid him $850,000.
Manny Ramirez signed with the Texas Rangers this past July.
his defense was slipping and there was a huge question mark on whether or not he would be even capable of playing in the field.
This is just laughable. Something tells me even Cardsfawnboy would have come around when Barry was getting on base in half his PA's in front of Albert. Then again, Skip did put up a 103 OPS in left that season.
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you just wrote this sentence - "The choice was a guy that was going to guarantee a massive fan backlash against the team…" But then I saw you just wrote this sentence - "I absolutely believe if he would have signed with a team, that a good portion of the fan base would have come around."
This is my point, you really aren't smarter than the owners, who I'm sure also realized this and still decided to blackball him.
And actually, I bet you would have loved to have Barry on the '08 team.
4. Until of course "a good portion of the fan base came around".
Since I've been labeled more than once as being an "anti-steroid witch hunter", you may not like this, but I agree with what you're saying here, and also with the first 3 points you made in #72. (The 4th point was only about your personal preference, and it's irrelevant to the other 3.)
72 - 4. Until of course "a good portion of the fan base came around".
I'm still trying to figure why people have such a hard time with your anti-steroid stance, considering that everything I've read posted by you in the past year and a half or longer has been entirely reasonable. (I may not agree with it, but it's not the knee jerk reactionary articles you get from the Simmons, Simers, etc. and the untalented hacks that write for a living)
You can be sure no one was more repulsed by Bonds' appearance in the Giants camp than commissioner Bud Selig.

The Yoga of Fertility
The Yoga of Fertility
Break through the "Pregnancy or Bust" Cycle
By Elizabeth Marglin
All too often, women trying to conceive get caught up in the frenzy of time running out, as if their bodies were bombs ticking away, about to detonate into an explosion of birth or an implosion of infertility. The focus relentlessly aims toward the future—starting with the hope for two blue lines on the next pregnancy test and reaching forward to thoughts of nurseries and strollers to come.
It seems the ideas of motherhood and expectation are inextricably linked. Interestingly, the word uterus comes from metra, the Greek word for measurement, which is also the root of the words time and mother. A healthy relationship to time—without a sense of graspiness or expectation—forms the essence of a fruitful approach to life and motherhood.
Yoga, with its spotlight on dropping into the present moment, helps people avoid becoming fixated on future. It helps would-be parents in other ways, too. One of its main benefits—reducing stress levels—takes the body out of its fertility-hindering fight-or-flight mode. If the body has to concentrate its resources on controlling stress, energy gets diverted away from reproduction. Since stress can constrict blood vessels, including those in the uterus, a yoga practice designed with the intention of lowering stress can only help with overall health and fertility.
"Stress plays a part in every single illness," Judith Lasater, PhD, a yoga teacher, practicing physical therapist, and author of Living Your Yoga: Finding the Spiritual in Everyday Life (Rodmell Press, 2000) says. "If you are in a stressed state, you don't have the hormonal profile of someone who is likely to get pregnant." She says she would emphasize a yoga practice that pays special attention to the qualities of "opening, softening, and yielding."
Regenerate with restorative posesWithin the yoga lexicon, inverted poses shine as excellent asanas for balancing the endocrine system, soothing rattled nerves, clearing the mind, resting the heart, and increasing circulation. Normally performed at the end of a practice, they can also stand alone as a quick time-out. One of the simplest and most effective poses, Legs Up the Wall Pose (Viparita Karani), restores beginners and advanced yogis alike.
Lasater also believes that quality rest, like the one found in Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose or in Corpse Pose, in which you lie on your back, palms facing up and feet spread apart, are the most important poses for fertility. "We live in a state of low-lying anxiety all the time," Lasater says. "It's so important in our fast-paced society to rest consciously everyday—it reestablishes hormonal balance." The quintessential restorative pose for everywoman is Reclining Butterfly Pose, in which you lie over a bolster with the soles of your feet together.

AMARILLO, Texas (AP) - An Amarillo man has been charged with felony animal cruelty after allegedly cutting off a puppy's ears and trying to sew them back on.
The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports that witnesses told police they heard the puppy whimpering in the trunk of 30-year-old Juan Chavira's vehicle in Lubbock. Police found the white pit bull puppy covered in blood.
Lubbock Animal Services took the dog and said Monday that "Major" was in good spirits in special protection at the shelter. Chavira's case was scheduled to go to a grand jury Oct. 9. No phone number was immediately available for Chavira and it was not known if he had a lawyer.

Sq-wheel like a pig! Adorable piglet born without hind
legs learns to walk with the help of a tiny wheelchairA piglet named
Chris P. Bacon was born without his hind legs but thanks to his caring owners,
he can now walk with the help of a tiny wheelchair. The wheelchair is
made of K'Nex, a children's toy similar to Legos that dates back to the early
90s. The piglet, which is barely larger than a human hand, appears
comfortable and quite happy wheeling around inside the human home where he
lives.He uses his front legs to pull him forward and the wheels of the
contraption help him carry his weight.The wheelchair attaches to his
body with a harness around his neck and his rear end. Where his back legs should
be, two wheels are instead.The wheels raise his rear end to the same
height that his back legs would, enabling him to imitate standing.
Without the wheelchair, the resilient pig is able to hop around short
distances, but the chair greatly increases its mobility.

Arsenal will be glad of a home fixture to start their Premier League campaign as they begin to adjust to life without Robin van Persie.
The Gunners have decided to use Lukas Podolski as a lone striker, with Theo Walcott and Gervinho providing support from the wings. French striker Olivier Giroud is on the bench, as is Aaron Ramsey, while Carl Jenkinson starts at right-back in place of the injured Bakary Sagna.
Sunderland's team is little-changed from last season, apart from Spanish defender Carlos Cuellar making his debut at the back. Their team has an otherwise familiar look, with Lee Cattermole, James McClean, and Stephane Sessegnon all in the starting eleven.
Arsenal: Szczesny; Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Diaby, Arteta, Cazorla, Walcott, Gervinho, Podolski. Bench: Mannone, Djourou, Coquelin, Santos, Ramsey, Arshavin, Giroud.
Sunderland: Mignolet, Gardner, Richardson, O'Shea, Cuellar, Larsson, McClean, Cattermole, Colback, Sessegnon, Campbell. Bench: Wickham, Kilgallon, Meyler, Bramble, Saha, Elmohamady, Westwood.
We'll have live updates in our Premier League Week 1 StoryStream. You can read more about the Gunners at Arsenal blog The Short Fuse, and you can check out Sunderland blog Roker Report for more on the Black Cats.

Thanks to TN contributor FSU (Ms) for the heads up on this post. She wrote: "Not FSU specific, but just passing this along as a part of the look at the machine in a CFB office that's required to stay ahead of the competition, for those who hadn't seen it." Excerpt from the story, as it relates to our rival down south located near Micanopy: At Florida, he had a support staff at his fingertips that rivaled any program in the country. In Denton, Texas, he has less than one-sixth of that budget ($3.5 million) for his support staff and administration, a difference of $18.2 million. "At Florida it was like it is at Alabama," McCarney explained. "[Urban] Meyer loved having a lot of people around, whether it's another set of eyes, another set of feet, two more hands, two more opinions. We had lots of people, whether it was helping in the weight room, whether it was the recruiting office, whether it was just the front office meeting and greeting people and sending a message about Gator Nation." McCarney remembered the sheer volume of the staff at Florida fondly, laughing as he recalled the interview process. "The first time I actually went into the offices, the introductions seemed like they were endless," McCarney said. "It wasn't just the defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator, strength coach. It was all those other people that help out. For me, it was really neat to see." The support staff pays off immensely in the recruiting process, McCarney said. Since coaches aren't allowed to have direct contact with recruits during unofficial visits, it's the job of others to show them around the campus and make a positive impression. At Florida, McCarney recalled having recruits chauffeured around in an oversized golf cart by, "good young people that have a loyalty and a love for the university."

Glenn Beck gets it right on public support for Arizona immigration law
By Angie Drobnic Holan, Lukas Pleva
Published on Friday, June 4th, 2010 at 9:35 a.m.
The talk show host Glenn Beck skewered the Obama administration for its opposition to a new immigration law in Arizona. The law makes it a crime to stay in the country illegally, requires all aliens to carry immigration paperwork, and sanctions employers who knowingly hire illegal workers.
Obama is out of step with the American public, Beck said, adding, "Sixty-four percent of Americans support the Arizona immigration law."
We looked into the polls and found that while 64 percent was one of the highest numbers, other polls showed majorities supporting the Arizona law. We rated Beck's statement Mostly True. Read our complete report to see the other poll numbers and how we came to our ruling.
Our fact-check provoked a torrent of comments on our Facebook page. You can see what our readers had to say there. (And don't forget to "like" us!)

To give an actual example,
"This is the book read by my student." could have any meaning of these by context?
"This is the book which is read by my student."
"This is the book which was read by my student."
"This is the book which has been read by my student."
I'd say it could be the second or third. If it said students, there would be a case for arguing the present. As you say 'student' it is unlikley that they will read the same book habitually. :D

At the request of Mayor Frank Jackson, Cleveland City Council approved a water rate increase of $11 per quarter for the average Cleveland resident to secure the financial future of one of the best water systems in the world, the Cleveland Division of Water (CWD), at their Monday, May 23 meeting.
The vote, (10 yes, 8 no, 1 absent) on Ord. 462-11 approves a series of water rate increases that would generate an extra $220 million over five years to ensure the CWD has adequate reserves and to maintain its bond rating. A rate increase is needed to cover:
Sharon Dumas, director of finance for the city of Cleveland, stated the bond counsel advised the city that two successive years of failing to maintain the debt-revenue ratio would constitute an event of default under the bond documents.
The rate increase, which extends through 2015, would raise rates for Cleveland and suburban customers. This means:
In agreement for passing this rate increase, Cleveland City Council requested the following:
Council's Public Utilities Committee actively engaged CWD in resolving the customer relations issues and other associated problems in the division. The committee worked with Mayor Jackson's administration to identify the specific problems and to address those issues including the purchase of new automatic meter reading systems and hiring of an outside management firm.
To date, Council has:
Ord. 513-10 – Authorizing Public Utilities to enter into a contract for a project administration for the Division of Water's "Automatic Meter Reading System."
Ord. 261-10 – Authorizing the issuance of $50,000,000 in bonds to acquire infrastructure for an "Automatic Meter Reading System."
Ord. 138-11 – Authorizing the director of public utilities to employ one or more consultants to assess and develop management strategies and implement accepted recommendations including making recommendations regarding the management of the Division of Water.

The head of the Republican Party of Miami Dade County said on Monday that all local candidates under his wing will be given strict guidelines to avoid using ballot brokers in their campaigns.
"The party will not employ people to collect absentee ballots," said chairman Nelson Díaz. "We can't allow people to take advantage of voters and fill out their absentee ballots."
Diaz's announcement came as a response to stories published by El Nuevo Herald over the weekend about the contents of three notebooks that were apparently kept by Deisy Pentón de Cabrera, who was charged last summer with ballot fraud in Hialeah.
According to her own notes, Cabrera maintained updated, handwritten lists of more than 550 voters, mostly elderly Hispanics from Hialeah, whom she visited each election cycle. She also followed directives written by others to visit particular groups of absentee voters.
Cabrera appeared to work only on campaigns for Republican candidates, as well as judicial candidates, who run on a non-partisan basis and are prohibited from taking stands on issues.
Political analyst and campaign consultant Dario Moreno said he was happy to hear Diaz's announcement. For years, Moreno said, too many local Republican campaigns have depended on a cottage industry of ballot brokers, known as boleteros in Spanish. These brokers, who operate in communities including Hialeah, Little Havana and Miami Beach, go after absentee voters who tend to be elderly, Hispanic and conservative.
"Nelson Diaz's decision shows a great political maturity," Moreno says. "I think that Republicans have learned that there are other ways to win elections without abusing the absentee ballot system."
Annette Taddeo-Goldstein, who chairs the Miami-Dade Democratic Party, said she was pleased to hear of the Republican Party's initiative. "It'll be great for them to seek out the vote in legitimate ways," she said.
Ballots brokers aren't strictly Republican. Sergio "el Tío" Robaina, who was also arrested on ballot fraud charges last summer, is a proud Democrat.
He has told El Nuevo Herald that while he's collected ballots from his friends and neighbors in the past, he's never done it for money.
Both Robaina and Cabrera have pleaded not guilty. Miami-Dade police were able to investigate their activities in part because of a county ordinance that went into effect last summer that penalizes the collection of absentee ballots.
Private detective Joe Carrillo, who first tipped off Miami-Dade police to Cabrera's activities, worried that authorities haven't worked hard enough to determine who paid Cabrera to pick up the ballots.
"It's obvious that when you have judges, the state attorney and the mayor benefiting from this, that nothing is going to be done to put an end to the fraud," he said.
Cabrera's arrest tainted the reelection campaigns of county Mayor Carlos Gimenez and State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle. Cabrera was a regular visitor to Gimenez's Hialeah campaign office. Fernández Rundle wound up recusing herself from the case after learning that someone who worked for her own campaign had been seen with Cabrera.

Illinois could become the third state in the country to allow psychologists to prescribe medication for mental illnesses.
A bill now on Governor Pat Quinn's desk would allow specially-trained psychologists to write drug prescriptions. Supporters said it will expand care for the mentally ill, but others have doubts about the proposal.
The power to prescribe drugs was traditionally reserved to doctors alone. In recent years, it was granted to others such as physicians' assistants and Nurse Practitioners. Both of those categories of health care professionals had to complete rigorous medical education programs lasting up to 3 years.
When the General Assembly this spring proposed adding psychologists who have no such training, some were alarmed because psychiatric drugs are so powerful and many of the mentally ill also take other medications.
"The drug-drug interactions between the psychiatric meds and the meds they take for their other diseases are extremely complicated and could be disastrous if not adequately monitored," said Dr. Shastri Swaminathan, a psychiatrist.
Those arguments persuaded the proposal's chief sponsor in the General Assembly to add requirements for extensive medical training for any psychologist wanting to prescribe drugs. They must also work closely with a medical doctor.
State Sen. Don Harmon said that in too many places in Illinois, it's hard for mental patients to find treatment.
"Today a patient needs to go to a psychologist for their therapy and to a psychiatrist for their prescription. That means they've got to find two doctors. Today, if this goes through, the psychologist will be able to partner with a family doctor or another doctor," said Sen. Harmon.
Opponents of the bill claim psychologists are not medical doctors, and that they aren't qualified to prescribe medication. They also said allowing others, besides doctors, to write prescriptions will compromise patient care.

St. Thomas Food Service Goes to Trayless Wednesdays
The largest food service outlet on the UST campus, The View, is experimenting with a trend that has become a mainstay at colleges and universities nationwide: eliminating the use of trays. The first "trayless Wednesday" took place on April 2.
By the end of the first trayless day, food waste had been reduced by 38 percent. Executive chef Ken Grogg said that while he had not yet calculated the total savings in dollars, the amount of food that was not discarded was significant. "We saved 500 pounds of food," he said. The first trayless day also saw a savings of 1,250 gallons of water. To read more about the student reaction, see the Newsroom article.
UST Leads Conference in Green Power
University of St. Thomas was recently recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a 2013-2014 Individual Conference Champion of the College & University Green Power Challenge for using more green power than any other school in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Since April2006, EPA's Green Power Partnership has tracked and recognized the collegiate athletic conferences with the highest combined green power use in the nation. The Individual Conference Champion Award recognizes the school that has the largest individual use of green power within a qualifying conference.
University of St. Thomas beat its conference rivals by using nearly 33 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power, representing 82 percent of the school's annual electricity usage. According to the U.S. EPA, St. Thomas' green power use is equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the electricity use of more than 3,000 average American homes annually, or the CO2 emissions of nearly 5,000 passenger vehicles per year.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Capt. Art This product has a better fit than other similar brands/styles. I have been looking for a better 'type' underwear for walking/hiking/sailing that does not leave me damp/wet/rash in the groin area. I have seen others with the Poly/spandex styles and have asked around for recommendations. The "Under Armour" brand was recommended by most. So far I have tried the 6' and shorter leg and have been quite satisfied with fit and comfort. Great for sailing as in and out of the water without having to constantly change is great. Thanks..

Bangarang Release Candidate 1.0
The media player Bangarang has qualities that could soon make it the default player for KDE. This latest release fixes a few bugs and is compatible with KDE 4.4.
Among the features of the new KDE media player are mixed play lists for films and music and closer integration in the KDE 4 desktop. With the help of Nepomuk, Banagarang saves the ratings for videos and individual music and makes it available for other KDE applications. For example, the data manager Dolphin. For playback, Bangarang utilizes Phonon, therefore supporting all data formats of the Phonon backend.
The release candidate fixes issues in the meta data update and the album covers in ID3V2 tags. The meta data update of saved play lists now also functions as it should. Head developer, Andrew Lake, has also built in Dolphin drag&drop support, and added Chinese localization.

A Maumee cardiologist charged with 30 counts of processing illegal prescriptions took a plea deal Tuesday.
Barry Deran pleaded guilty to four counts of felony drug trafficking and four counts of attempted trafficking in Lucas County court, where he could be sentenced later this year.
Based on these charges, Deran could face up to 10 years in prison. He also faces federal gun charges that could add five more years to his term.
The Ohio State Medical Board already
suspended Deran's license in May. A board spokeswoman says a review of Tuesday's court action could lead to revoking the license.
After searching Deran's home and office in February 2012, agents seized numerous prescription drugs, firearms and medical records.
In November 2012, Deran was charged with prescription drug trafficking. In January 2013, the U.S. Attorney's Office charged him with three additional federal counts for conspiracy, making false statements to obtain guns, and unlawfully dealing in firearms.

Keeper of the Morrellisms!! by Morrelli's Crew - 10 months ago
"This t-shirt is for my husbands college room mate-Mike Morrelli. It was his 50th birthday, we spent it in Puerto Vallarta with other old college friends. "Morrellisms" are some of Mikes infamous sayings, words he makes up that they have laughed about through the years. I'm sure the printers at Customink wonder what in the world does this stuff mean but to our crew it is hilarious. Everyone was so nice at your company and so very helpful!! I had a wonderful first experience!! Thanks you!"
