The latest American soldier to be killed in combat in Afghanistan was a recently-married Marine from Minnesota who had just begun his deployment this spring.
Cpl. Taylor Baune was just 21 years old, and he is well-remembered by his high school social studies teacher in Andover, who said he was not at all surprised when Baune enlisted.
"Taylor was a great fit for the military," said Jeff Thompson. "He had a lot of potential and a lot of promise -- and he obviously shined in the military."
His old neighborhood was surprised to learn Baune had died in combat on Wednesday, but the news was even tougher on his new wife who had just taken her vows on March 2 in Las Vegas.
His last message to her on Facebook came on May 25th, saying, "Good morning my love, it's like midnight as we just got back and going out again in a couple of hours, just wanted to say I love you and miss you."
Outside his father's Andover home, stars and stripes say what words can't -- and they mean a lot to those who knew him. Gary Baune told FOX 9 News his son was fearless and was always one to stand up and want to be first.
Gary Baune admitted that he did not want his son to join the military -- even offered his son money not to enlist, but his son wouldn't have any part of it. In fact, Gary Baune said his son desperately wanted to join the Marines because he wanted to become "the best of the best."
Taylor Baune's body will be flown home next week, and he will be buried at Fort Snelling.

By SHERRY VAN ARSDALL
GOSHEN — Tom Yoder doesn't mind getting dirty when he's pursuing one of his favorite interests — gardening.
"I'm always on the lookout for new things in strains and hybrids each year," Yoder said. "There's always something really spectacular."
He's been writing a column about gardening for The Goshen News and recently published a book, "My Thoughts Exactly: The Dirt on Gardening" with many of his columns.
"I've always liked to write and I was hesitant to write the column when asked about it, but I wrote a sample and they used it for the first column," Yoder said. "I write weekly about things I've done or know about personally. That's what makes it more 'homesy' and lets people interact with me. I go out and about and people come up to me and make comments. It was hard to come up with ideas for the winter but I kept finding things to talk about. Here I am with my 194th one and I keep coming up with topics."
He's been a gardening enthusiast for many years and started to gain his experience as a youth when his parents operated a grocery store in Middlebury, Yoder's Market.
"I would grow tuberous begonias and sell them at the store in the spring," he said.
He grew picotee tuberous begonias that were white with a defined red edge and entered one in a flower show.
"I ended up winning grand champion," Yoder said, smiling. "That's where it developed (being a gardening enthusiast) and I've planted ornamental shrubs, trees and flowers."
He's also received Best of Show at the Elkhart County Fair, and first place in local flower shows and the Elkhart Art League.
Yoder worked as the Garden Center Manager at the former Everett's Garden Center in Goshen for 16 years.
"I tripled the amount of retail business," he said. During those 16 years, Yoder and his wife, Beverly, enjoyed going to antique stores in the winter to find unique antiques to put potted flowers in them to sell at the store, he said.
He was in Korea from 1952 to 1954 in the Army and went back to Yoder's Market afterwards and worked as a meat cutter for 15 years. Yoder said he had some art training and did commissioned portraits.
"I had a Realtors license and did that for several years," he said, and now delivers products a couple days a week and when he's not golfing, he works at the golf course.
"Job wise, I've worn a lot of hats. I'm busy," he said, laughing. "I've even done a little bit of woodworking."
Now he's a published author and that came about after talking with his sister-in-law, who had a friend needing to gain experience in the process of putting a book together for publication, Yoder said.
"It all went so fast," he added.
The couple shared a special look between them as they talked about their blended families and experiencing the ups and down of life.
"We're very happy with each other and that helps a lot," Beverly said.
"She's my gal," Yoder added.
His book can be purchased at the front desk of The Goshen News or online at http://www.amazon.com/My-Thoughts-Exactly-Dirt-Gardening/dp/1484081684.

2007 Vol. 51, Number 2
Sky-high careers:
Jobs related to airlines
Tamara Dillon
Mechanics and service technicians
Aviation maintenance departments comprise
several different specialists, including airframe
mechanics, powerplant technicians, instrument repairmen,
and avionics technicians. As a team, these workers keep
aircraft operating safely and efficiently.
Duties. Many mechanics
specialize in preventive maintenance. They inspect
aircraft engines, landing gear, instruments, pressurized
sections, brakes, valves, pumps, air-conditioning systems,
and other parts of the aircraft. They fix or replace any
broken or worn parts that they find. When working on
large, sophisticated planes, mechanics download diagnostic
information from electronic boxes and consoles that
monitor the aircraft's basic operations.
Mechanics and technicians conduct
inspections, following a schedule that is based on the
number of hours the aircraft has flown, calendar days
since the last inspection, cycles of operation, or a
combination of these factors.
Just like all mechanics, aircraft
mechanics use wrenches, welding torches, digital
calibration and diagnostic equipment, and other tools. But
because planes are big, the work of an aircraft mechanic
poses unique challenges. Mechanics examine engines through
specially designed openings while standing on ladders or
scaffolds or by using hoists or lifts to remove the entire
engine from the craft.
Sometimes, mechanics need to take an engine apart. They
use precision instruments to measure each part for wear
and use x-ray and magnetic inspection equipment to check
for tiny cracks. Mechanics also may repair sheet metal,
measure the tension of control cables, and check for
corrosion, distortion, and cracks in the plane's
fuselage, wings, and tail.
Other mechanics find and fix problems that
pilots describe, rather than finding and fixing hidden
problems. For example, during a preflight check, a pilot
may discover that the aircraft's fuel gauge does not
work. To solve the problem, mechanics might troubleshoot
the electrical system, using electrical test equipment to
make sure that no wires have broken or short-circuited,
and replace defective electrical or electronic components.
For minor repairs, these mechanics might work on the
runway while passengers wait for the plane to be repaired
and cleared for takeoff.
Some mechanics work on just one type of
aircraft, such as jets, propeller-driven airplanes, or
helicopters. Others specialize in one aircraft section,
such as the engine, hydraulics, or electrical system. Each
system requires different skills and certifications.
Airframe mechanics are authorized to work on any part of
the aircraft except the instruments, powerplants, and
propellers. Powerplant mechanics are authorized to work on
engines and do limited work on propellers. Combination
airframe-and-powerplant mechanics—called A&P
mechanics—work on all parts of the plane except the
Avionics technicians repair navigation and
radio communications equipment, weather radar systems, and
other onboard instruments and computers. These technicians
make complex electrical repairs.
Like most repair workers, aircraft and avionics
equipment mechanics and repairers enjoy the challenge of
examining and disassembling engines and other equipment to
look for problems, then repairing and reassembling them.
Whatever type of plane they service, most aircraft
mechanics work in large hangars close to airports. But if
the hangar is full or the plane is on the runway, that
means working outdoors at all times of the year—whether
it's summer in Tucson, Arizona, or winter in Fargo,
North Dakota.
Employment and earnings.
Aircraft and avionics equipment mechanics and service
technicians held about 133,570 jobs in May 2006, according
to BLS.
Median hourly wages of airline mechanics
and service technicians were $22.95 in May 2006, according
to BLS. For avionics technicians, BLS shows median hourly
wages in May 2006 of $22.57.
Qualifications and training.
Aircraft and avionics equipment mechanics and service
repairers must have good manual dexterity and
problem-solving skills. And they should be able to work
well under time constraints, sometimes tight ones.
Aircraft mechanics must have a high school
diploma or equivalent. Most have attended 1 of about 170
trade schools or community colleges certified by the FAA.
Many of these schools offer associate or bachelor's
degrees in avionics, aviation technology, or aviation
maintenance management. People seeking to become avionics
or instrument technicians usually need at least an
associate degree in electronics. Some mechanics learn on
the job after high school, but this method of training is
becoming less common.
In addition, aircraft mechanics almost
always need certification from the FAA, unless they are
working as apprentices or helpers under the supervision of
a certified mechanic. To be eligible for basic
certification, a mechanic must be a U.S. citizen able to
read, write, and speak English and must complete a program
at an FAA-certified mechanics school or have 18 months of
work experience under the supervision of a certified
mechanic. These mechanics must also pass oral, written,
and practical exams. To keep their certificates current,
mechanics need at least 16 hours of training every 24
months. This training is often offered on the job by
The FAA offers basic certification in
either airframe or powerplant mechanics. It also offers
the combined A&P certificate that allows for
certification in both. Today, most employers prefer that
their mechanics have this combination. To qualify,
mechanics must acquire at least 30 months of experience
working with both airframes and engines, or have less
experience and the completion of an FAA-certified mechanic
school program. A&P certified mechanics also must pass
written and oral tests and demonstrate that they can do
the work authorized by the certificate. To stay certified,
they need current work experience: specifically, at least
1,000 hours of relevant experience in the previous 24
months. Alternatively, they can take a refresher course.
Avionics technicians also need an FAA
mechanic's certificate. Many gain avionics repair
experience in the military or from working for avionics
manufacturers. Additional voluntary certifications are
available from professional associations. Avionics
technicians who fix radios or radar must have a license
from the Federal Communications Commission.
Some mechanics begin with a more limited
repairman certificate. Repairman certificates are valid
for only one place of employment and for only one or two
specific job tasks, such as working on propellers or on
instruments. Mechanics who have repairman certificates
usually work for engine shops or airplane manufacturers
rather than airlines.
In addition to considering education and certification,
airlines value experience working on military aircraft.
But most people with military experience still need
additional training to meet FAA rules regarding civilian

By James Jordan - Alliance for Global Justice
....The international awareness and linking together of each others' struggles is something that is just starting to happen and grow.

When a mother whose second child is being taken – without paperwork – calls for help because she realises that her solicitor is not acting in her interest, I'm going into a higher gear:
- I invited her to join us at our meeting the House of Commons so that she could realise she is not alone (what a consolation…)
- I put her court hearing on the Meetup list of events to facilitate support – for her, Michael Doherty and Norman Scarth next week
- I talked to other experienced McKenzie Friends to try to understand.
It appears that the "second generation radar" helps Social Services to get hold of children, especially at birth, i.e. the mother was in care as a teenager and thus known to Social Services.
When she was pregnant, she could do whatever – it never satisfied Social Services… So the first baby was taken at 7 months, without paperwork, and the second one 6 days after birth, again without paperwork.
The most experienced Ian Josephs writes that breast feeding is a fundamental human right for mothers and the right NOT to be removed at birth for babies. But Social Services, in collusion with Police, Courts and Judges, are above the law, aren't they!?… More

2005 California Health Interview Survey
Calls are going out throughout California to gather valuable information from residents on a variety of health topics, such as access to medical care, health insurance, chronic illnesses, children's health and health-related behaviors. Conducted every two years by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) provides the most comprehensive overview of this state's diverse population on health issues. The 2005 telephone survey began on July 11, and by the time it is completed in December, tens of thousands of California residents will have participated.
A collaborative project of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, the California Department of Health Services, and the Public Health Institute, CHIS is a vital resource for policymakers, health planners, community groups, health advocates and others working to improve the health of all Californians. For example, data from earlier rounds of the survey conducted in 2001 and 2003 have been used to expand health insurance access for children and develop policies to address obesity, asthma and other conditions.
You can help make the 2005 survey a success by encouraging the public to participate if they are called. If more people "Take the Call," then those using CHIS data to make important decisions on health policy will be better equipped to do their jobs. "Take the Call" flyers are available in five languages (English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese) and can be posted or handed out to individual members of the public.
Funding for CHIS 2005 has been provided by The California Endowment, the California Department of Health Services, the National Cancer Institute, First 5 California, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the California Department of Mental Health, the California Office of the Patient Advocate, the Center for Public Policy Research, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, the health departments in San Diego, Marin and Solano Counties have commissioned locally funded oversamples of their counties.

A special ring has found its way back to its rightful owner.Gwinnett County police officers found a Vietnam War commemorative ring while searching the home of 27-year-old Tyrone Davis. The ring was found along with several other stolen items. Authorities had no idea as to who the ring belonged to; no one had reported it missing.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The Royals and outfielder Alex Gordon avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract worth $4,775,000.
Gordon could earn a $25,000 bonus for getting 700 plate appearances, 12 more than his career high set last year.
An arbitration hearing was scheduled for next week. Gordon filed a request for $5.45 million, while the team countered with $4.15 million. He made $1.5 million last season.
Gordon is coming off a breakout season in which he hit .303 with 45 doubles, 23 homers and 87 RBIs. The only other players with at least a .300 average, 45 doubles and 20 homers were Miguel Cabrera, Jacoby Ellsbury, Adrian Gonzalez and Robinson Cano.
Kansas City general manager Dayton Moore has been working a long-term deal with Gordon, who has spent his entire career in the Royals organization. Those negotiations are expected to resume now that the outfielder is under contract.

The Software-Defined Data Center
Network Virtualization
The widespread adoption of server virtualization has revolutionized the provisioning and management of applications, saving enterprises billions of dollars. However, the network to which these dynamic workloads connect has not kept pace. Network provisioning remains painfully slow: Even simple topologies take days or weeks to create. Workload placement and mobility are restricted by physical network limitations and hardware dependencies require vendor-specific expertise. Network configuration is performed manually and maintenance is both expensive and resource-intensive.
Extending Virtualization to Networking and Security
The software-defined data center moves networking and security forward by creating the same kind of software-driven abstraction layer that transformed computing. Similar benefits are achieved: Rapid programmatic provisioning, non-disruptive deployment, support for both legacy and new applications simultaneously on any general-purpose IP networking hardware and the liberation of networking services from hardware-bound constraints.
From Physical to Logical Services
In similar fashion to virtual machines, a virtual network presents logical network components—logical switches, logical routers, logical firewalls, logical load balancers, logical VPNs and more—to connected workloads.
Logical networks are programmatically created, provisioned and managed, utilizing the underlying physical network as a simple packet-forwarding backplane. As with server virtualization, any combination of logical network devices and security policies can be assembled into any topology. Network and security services are bound to each virtual machine and move with it, so workloads can be dynamically added or shifted without human intervention.
Essential Characteristics of Network Virtualization
Network virtualization provides hardware independence by completely decoupling networking components from underlying physical network infrastructure. From the end-host perspective, the physical network model is faithfully reproduced and workloads see no difference. In terms of operations, the change is transformative, enabling unprecedented automation of everything from network provisioning through deployment and maintenance.

Natural gas is one of the safest and most reliable fuels available. Rarely does a mechanical failure or storm interrupt its dependable delivery. CenterPoint Energy continually monitors our pipeline system to ensure safe and efficient delivery of natural gas to your home. For your protection, we add an odorant to natural gas, so you can detect even the slightest amount in the air. Tour our natural gas safety section by navigating through the links on the left.
Physical properties of natural gas are as follows:
- Natural gas is colorless and odorless.
- Natural gas is primarily methane, with small amounts of other hydrocarbons.
- Natural gas is non-toxic.
- Natural gas is lighter than air; if it escapes, it will rise and dissipate.
- Natural gas is clean-burning; when burned with the proper amount of air, it produces heat, carbon dioxide and water vapor.
CenterPoint Energy's highest priority is safe and reliable delivery of natural gas. With safety in your hands and on our minds, we would like for you to know the facts about natural gas to help keep you safe. To your left, you can click on safety pages that will teach you such things as what to do if you suspect a natural gas leak.
Natural Gas Safety Checklist
Natural gas leak - What to do if you smell gas
If you smell gas, leave the area immediately. Do not use your phone, electric switches, your computer, or anything that could cause a spark. Go directly to a safe location, then call CenterPoint Energy and 911.

"Breast Augmentation - Beverly Hills, CA"
He is known now as the doctor who reconstructed Angelina Jolie's breasts, but he botched the breasts of this non-celebrity in 2010. I recently had to have them re-done, they were so misshapen, and not from capsular contraction. Apparently, he didn't make the "pockets" deep enough (according to other plastic surgeons who have evaluated me since.) A simple enough thing to do, but he messed it up... more

The ceiling tiles are in a dry cleaning shop outside Chicago. Everybody likes them, even the building inspectors! There were drop ceiling tiles already in place - dirty and yellowed - I just painted the grids and inserted the Ceilume under the mineral fiber panels. Some had to be stapled together but it was worth it. In a dry cleaners, the humidity and dust yellow up the fiber panels quickly, with yours, I can clean as needed and the panels look especially good with the T-8 lights.

Hiney flu shots and crayons for breakfast
November 16, 2009 - Jennifer Brookens
I should've known that the weekend would bring blogworthy material.
Saturday morning, and we were all up early as I prepared to take The Boy in for a shot (ha ha) at getting an H1N1 vaccination. I thought the clinic opened at 8. It opened at 8:30. And those in line were standing outside the locked doors. On a cloudy and cold windy day.
Needless to say, The Boy lived up to his Tazmanian Devil nickname, trying to twist and roll through the seatbelt straps of his stroller. The patient and sympathic woman behind me was kind enough to let me get extra blankets from the van and she even sacrificed a packet of Gummi fruits to try to settle The Boy down. None of it really worked, though we'd get a few minutes of reprieve when he needed to catch his second wind. I was a little irritated (OK, more than a little) that we were made to wait outside, when in the past, the clinic had the lines going through the corridors so a wait outside was not necessary. But after seeing how the area was set up for the mass-vaccination, I grudgingly understood why it was done that way. But considering that these are young children and people with underlying health problems, is a long wait out in the cold wind really a wise thing to do? Just a thought...
Anyway, The Boy did as well as expected with getting a shot, and luckily he had calmed down after getting inside and sprung from the stroller for a bit. It would be the next day when he got his revenge. After my daughter did her homework and made a birthday card for Grandma with her special "homework only" crayons, The Boy showed an interest in coloring in a coloring book. Sounds easy enough, and it was a success before, so I had him set up. Ten minutes later, I hear a loud yell from the next room. I look and there are bits of crayon all over the dining room floor. The crayon bits lead to the kitchen, and as I pass through the doorway, there's the Boy, crunching on Cornflower Blue, with several other crayons still clenched in his fist.
I was in shock. He hadn't eaten a crayon since July and I truly thought he kicked the habit. Was it bagel-fatigue that sent him back? I don't know, but I shudder to think what the next few days of diaper duty are going to bring...

SEATTLE -- Boston catcher Victor Martinez, who fractured his left thumb on June 27, could clear a significant hurdle before Saturday's game in Seattle when he catches Clay Buchholz's side session.
Martinez felt pretty well catching Tim Wakefield's knuckleball before Thursday's game, but Buchholz's increased velocity will be a better test for his thumb.
If the session with Buchholz goes well, Martinez's return could be imminent, perhaps as soon as the three-game series in Anaheim that starts Monday night.
"I mean, if I feel like I felt yesterday with Buchholz, I'm just days away," Martinez said. "We'll see what happens."
The Red Sox have been forced to play with both of their regular catchers on the 15-day disabled list. Jason Varitek has a fractured right foot and is still on crutches. The return of Martinez would give the Sox a big jolt in the middle of the lineup.
Bowden optioned back to Triple-A
SEATTLE -- With Josh Beckett returning to the mound Friday night against the Mariners, the Red Sox were left with a roster crunch that forced them to option righty Michael Bowden back to Triple-A Pawtucket just five days after recalling him.
Though Bowden has had several short-term visits to the roster in the past, the Sox were hoping he would be able to get an extended look this time around.
"I'm obviously disappointed, but I had a feeling that this was going to happen," said Bowden. "But I also have a feeling that I'll be back sooner rather than later."
At least for now, Bowden will continue his recent transition to reliever at Triple-A.
"We didn't want to send him back," said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. "We called him up, we didn't want to send him back. We're not allowed to play with 26 players, so we'll hopefully this will keep him on somewhat of a schedule.
"You can see by the way we used him, we certainly weren't afraid to use him. His breaking ball is better. He's always been a mature kid, but as far as innings pitched, he looks like he's ready to start helping us, which is good."
Bowden pitched three times during his short stint with the Sox, giving up three hits and no earned runs over 2 1/3 innings, though he did give up a walk-off single on Tuesday night in Oakland.
"Every time out there, I got a little more comfortable, a little more relaxed," Bowden said. "I think it's just about getting more repetitions, more appearances, so I can really feel 100 percent comfortable out there and do my job. I think I'll be successful if I can keep doing what I've been doing. I need to just continue to do that down there, and I'll get another opportunity."
Pedroia walking better, getting antsy
SEATTLE -- Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel with his fractured left foot, and perhaps that is why time is starting to go slower for him.
"It's getting tough because I'm walking better," said Pedroia. "I feel normal walking. I just can't push it right now until it's really healed. I've just got to listen to what they say and hope we win. That's it. I'll find out more when I see the doctor in a couple of days [in Anaheim]. I think that'll tell me a lot more, and I'm going back to get another CT scan next Friday to see if there's more healing."
If Pedroia gets the all clear to remove his walking boot after that CT scan on Friday, his return to the lineup could be quick after that. He has little to no interest in going on a Minor League rehab assignment. A fierce competitor, Pedroia wants to do what he can to help Boston's postseason push. He last played on June 25.
"I don't know," Pedroia said about a rehab assignment. "I'll talk to [general manager] Theo [Epstein] and [manager Terry Francona], and everybody, but it depends how we're doing as a team. We're trying to get everybody back as fast as possible, and I think the Red Sox need us more than the PawSox do."
Worth noting
Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield's transition to the bullpen started on Friday. Though he threw an extended side session on Thursday, Wakefield assured the Red Sox he would be ready to go in Friday's game. ... After going 1-for-5 in the first game of his rehab assignment on Thursday night, Mike Lowell got a scheduled day off on Friday. He will play third base for Triple-A Pawtucket at Columbus on Saturday. Overall, Lowell is likely to play six games over an eight-day span and then be activated. ... Rain in Fort Myers, Fla., forced Jacoby Ellsbury to hit indoors on Friday. The speedy center fielder should start a Minor League rehab assignment in a few days. ... The Red Sox foundation and Funai jointly announced the third year of the Red Sox U.S.-Japan Youth Baseball exchange. The program allows kids from Japan and the U.S. to visit each other's homelands and explore their customs and culture through baseball.

Town Square
President Obama vs Jeremy Lin
Original post made by Q on Sep 5, 2012
What a strange, but ironically accurate quote from President Obama.
Jeremy Lin is a hard working,humble, christian athlete, who puts the entire team first, not select individuals, and not his own self promotion. He routinely gives up open shots, to get his teammates involved in the scoring, to share the wealth. His own hard work results in achievement for all of those around him. He unites his team, does not divide them. His efforts make all of those around him better. He thanks God for his glory.
The Miami Heat is full of prima donnas, self glory hounds, who like to refer to themselves as the "big 3", although there are 14 players on their roster. They were jealous when their rookie teammate Mario Chalmers starting playing well and received attention, so they purposefully started passing the ball less to him, as they were threatened by his success. They have an absolute entitlement mentality,and handle success as poorly as they handle defeat. Arrogant, egotistical, and immature, are words that many sportswriters use to define this team.
I believe most parents would prefer that their children emulate Jeremy Lin over the Miami Heat players.
Think about this when you vote in November.

Here is a walkthrough for getting the Cockpit Addict achievement. To get this, start at 59th Street from the chapter selection screen, or fast-forward to it. If you fail, you are able to try this again by simply pressing the Y button before hitting the gas, which puts you into first person mode. Also, I recommend not hitting the Taxi at the end, as it may mess you up. I just personally like to crash into it and take it out for fun, but if done wrong, it might make you fail the mission, making it so you have to-do the entire level over again, so do try to avoid it.

Electronic Theatre, a UK gamer site, says it has the soundtrack Jay-Z has compiled to NBA2K. It featured a number of Jay-Z hits like "Pump It Up" and "Run This Town" as well as songs by U2, Cold Play, Kanye West and Nas. No word on what surprise the Nets owner has for Nets fans who buy the game, but we'd be surprised if there weren't any.
With interest in the Nets and Barclays Center rising, Brett Yormark announced tickets for the JAY Z Opening Night concert at the arena will go on sale to the general public on Friday, July 13. JAY Z has also announced today two additional concerts on September 29 and 30 in addition to Opening Night on September 28. Anyone who doesn't expect a Nets tie-in at the concerts needs an emergency class in marketing.
In the midst of an interview on everything from his big Labor Day concert in Philly to his diaper changing skills, Jay-Z got asked about the Nets. Q: Is Dwight Howard coming to New Jersey, or Brooklyn I mean, to play for the Nets? A: I don't know, I have no idea. Only Dwight Howard know that. He had a chance to come there already, so I don't know, I have no idea. Sounds like at least one member of the Nets ownership isn't forgetting what happened at the trade deadline.
As if the Dwightmare isn't enough, there's word that Kanye West is Kim Kardashian's rebound lover. Gotta be true. People's reporting it. Moreover, Kanye reveals he's upset with Kris Humphries' treatment of Kim and raps, "Lucky I ain't had Jay drop him from the team." Kanye, of course, is Jay-Z's collaborator and Jay, of course, is ... oh, never mind.
Call it subliminal advertising, but the Nets and Jay-Z are hoping that tens of millions of Americans will make the connection Monday while watching the NCAA Finals. The Nets minority owner voices over a commercial for RocaWear, the company's first, entitled, "From Marcy to Barclays." Near the end as he talks about "ascending to the executive ranks", viewers will see a two-second shot of Times Square billboard advertising Barclays Center...and him.
Normally, Jay-Z is in his front row seats whenever LeBron James and company play the Nets. Not Saturday night. Instead, he was at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan as his wife, Beyonce' gave birth to their first child, a girl reportedly named Blue Ivy Carter...although some reports had it as Ivy Blue Carter. Doesn't matter. She's healthy.
A remix I threw together in commemoration of the Nets move to BK.
It's one thing for an ESPN 5-on-5 panel to argue Deron Williams is ranked too high in their review of the NBA's 500 top players, but suggesting new 76er owner Will Smith is a bigger and "more enticing" celebrity that Jay-Z? Please. Two of the panel think Jay-Z is bigger (although one thinks the advantage is only temporary). The other three are convinced it's Smith's world and we just live in it.
The "A-List" is Avenue Magazine's annual list of the 100 Most Influential People in the city and not surprisingly, among those who made the list for 2011 are Jay-Z and Mikhail Prokhorov. No Nets players made the list (Hey, D-Will plays in NJ) but Amare' and 'Melo did. The Nets posted a link to the list on NJNets.com.
FOX5's "Good Day New York" will be broadcasting live from the Barclays Center site Monday, waiting for Jay-Z's "major announcements". Rosanna Scotto will interview Bruce Ratner and Brett Yormark at 9:00 a.m., Albert King at 9:30, and finally Jay-Z at 9:40. The Press Conference begins at 10 and will be streamed live on both the Nets and Barclays Center websites. Registration is required.

rates (USD)

vacation rental description
This unique and brand new 1 bedroom condo awaits two couples or a family and welcomes up to 8 guests. Step out the back door (or is it the front door) and you are on the patio that leads to what is believed to be the largest pool on Galveston island.
The master bedroom sooths and awaits your arrival with a king sized bed, a huge walk-in closet to store your traveling belongings, flat panel TV for private relaxation. The unique loft invites a second couple or the kids to enjoy time alone and comfortable sleeping space on convertible sofas. Want to keep the kiddos closer? There are built in bunks close to the master bedroom. The condo will accommodate - very comfortably - up to six people.
condo rental amenities
Washer and dryer in your condo? This IS special! No quarters needed, the ability to pack much lighter than a "traditional" vacation.
Full-sized, stainless steel appliances in the event your eyes were bigger than your stomach when you ordered dinner last night at one of Galveston's premier eateries - or you are a gourmet cook. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook and bake - prepare full meals and save money by dining in - either at the condo or al fresco by the pool.
activities and attractions in Galveston Texas
The Maravilla resort has three pools, a hot tub, workout room and tropical grounds found nowhere else! While the pools are heated only by nature, even when the air is chilly, just laying around the water in the sunshine can be relaxing.
There are too many attractions in Galveston to list them all - but here are a few - bird watching, cruising, Mardi Gras Galveston, Dickens on the Strand, Lone Star Rally (one of the largest motorcycle rallies in the country), live theater and concerts, shopping in the historic strand district, frequent local art walks featuring local artists and their wares, and............of course.........the beach!
The Gulf of Mexico is directly across Seawall Boulevard from the Maravilla complex. While this is not a sandy beach front location, there are steps that lead from the seawall directly into the Gulf of Mexico and people walk into the water to fish and swim from here regularly. There are sand beaches approximately one mile to the west which are more "private" meaning they are not publicly maintained with restroom access or lifeguard stations. Approximately three miles to the east you will find more public beaches with lifeguard stations, some restroom facilities, eateries and souvenier shops. Choose which suits your needs best - or try different beaches each day.
Galveston is growing! The Historic Pleasure Pier is being brought back with a carnival atmosphere,
rides, games, etc. Look for this to be completed in late May. Also, directly to the west of the Maravilla on Seawall Boulevard, the Marriott Corporation is constructing new hotel options for future visitors. Construction hours are somewhere in the vicinity of 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and there is heavy equipment and at times more noise than others. Please don't let this stop
you from coming as we have reduced our rates to accommodate for the inconvenience, even though the heaviest noise time is during the day when most of our guests are out sightseeing, at the beach, etc. The front building and some west side units at the Maravilla are undergoing a facelift with new siding and railings being installed. The units that we manage in these areas
during this time. There may be noise to some of the other units while this progress is being made. Some of the Maravilla units, likewise, are undergoing facelifts to their interiors and you may from time to time hear noise associated with that, but work hours end by early evening. Experience Galveston now, while our rates are lower!
This and several other greaat Galveston properties managed by My Galveston Getaway. If your groups needs more than one place to stay let us know - we can put you as close (or as far away) as you want to be.
vacation rental rates
Why stay in a hotel? We check our rates regularly against local area hotels but you get so much more! Privacy, access to the resort tropical grounds at the Maravilla, family-friendly atmosphere!
There is a 2-night minimum, 3-nights during Galveston special events and holidays, and a 20% surcharge for those time periods as well.
NO SURPRISE PRICING! Get frustrated when you book accommodations and upon arrival or check-out you realize it was "plus this and plus that"? We are too - so we don't do business that way. Our price is our price is our price! Our price includes required City of Galveston and State of Texas occupancy taxes, the post-move cleaning charge, and one parking permit for the duration of your stay. You will have the option of an insurance policy as opposed to a separate security deposit, or you can pay a $500.00 fully-refundable security deposit which is returned once the cleaning crew advises that all is in order upon your departure. Should you have more than one vehicle, you can purchase additional parking permits for $10.00 each at the Maravilla office good for the duration of your stay.

Did Texas Tech athletic department personnel set the stage for Mike Leach's firing themselves to nurture longstanding grudges that lead back to last year's contract negotiations? Matt Hayes of Sporting News certainly thinks so:
The public reason for Texas Tech firing Mike Leach was the alleged mistreatment of Adam James. The real reason is payback.
The record will show that Leach, Tech's unorthodox yet highly successful coach, was fired Wednesday for mistreatment of a player with a "mild" concussion. The reality is Leach was fired because he took Texas Tech for everything it had last February during contract negotiations -- and made the university brass look like bumbling fools in the process.
Clay Travis of FanHouse also smells a legal rat, and does some lawyerin' around in Leach's contract:
So the university is citing language that didn't exist in his prior contract to fire Leach. Whether or not they intentionally set this legal trap for him remains a question, but there's no doubting that this language drastically strengthened the hand of the university.
And at least in this case, it appears Texas Tech knew exactly what they were doing when they signed their coach to a contract extension ten months ago with brand new language.
That sound? That's the plot, thickening. Again.

Each verse of this show tune is a variation of the first line — "If you're ever in a jam, here I am."
As fans of the show know, Ethel stuck by Lucy through a lot of jams. Eventually even Ethel began to wonder why she was so loyal to a crazy person.
Toward the end of the series, the two stay up all night dismantling the barbecue grill Ricky has just built in search of Lucy's lost wedding ring. They don't find it.
Ethel is heading to clean the wet cement off her hands and crawl into bed when she notices that Lucy intends to put the thing back together by herself.
Of course, Ethel can't leave the backyard. Lucy thanks her by saying it is times like that when you know what friends are for. Ethel responds, "If I'd known this is what friends were for, I'd have signed up as an enemy."
Friends of the caliber of Lucy and Ethel are rare in real life. In this age of social media, everyone from a former classmate you haven't seen in years to a co-worker's hairdresser's best friend's brother gets called a friend.
I am more selective about my use of the term.
I had friends in elementary school, but the clique system left me out in the cold after that. I wasn't an athlete, a band nerd, a cheerleader, a beauty queen, a "fun girl" or a girlfriend.
I didn't even belong in the outcast crowd because I was just close enough to the cool kids to help them with their homework.
At some point, I became a loner by choice as well as by circumstance. I was flying solo toward graduation at UAB when an unexpected thing happened — I ran into an old boyfriend.
Falling in love with Zac changed me because for the first time in my life I had to make an all-or-nothing commitment.
I had to trust even though I might get hurt. I had to be truthful when it would have been easier to hide behind a mask. I had to stay when sometimes I would have rather walked away.
I did all of those things and found an amazing friend who happens to be my husband.
Once I let down my guard with Zac, I found myself getting closer to other people. I now have a handful of friends who are worthy of the title.
They don't meet the high school definition of friend, though.
I don't hang out with them on weekends. We don't talk on the phone every day or even every week. When we do talk, it's not about cute guys or clothes or celebrities.
We have real discussions about grief and God and, well, sometimes guys.
For the record, all of my friends are girls, but we're not exactly the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
Only two of my friends are friends with each other, and that's because we used to work together.
If for some reason all of my friends were ever in the same room at the same time, I know they would like each other.
For one, they're all crazy. Seriously, none of them have a lick of sense. One of them will tell you that she's just one cherry shy of being a fruitcake.
Also, they are all strong women. To paraphrase Ernest Hemingway, the world has broken each of them, but they have grown strong in the broken places.
I am the baby of the group, so I guess it's no coincidence that I seek advice more often than I am able to give it.
Honestly, sometimes I wonder why they want me as a friend. I'd be lying if I said that I am always a good one.
I guess my most redeeming qualities are my sense of humor and my loyalty.
I have a sarcastic side. Some people don't get that, but whatever, it works for me.
I am willing to listen whenever my friends need to pour out their soul to me. Just when we're about to drown in our own tears, I will turn a random comment into a wry joke.
Our problems won't be solved, but hopefully we'll both feel a little better.
I'd also like to think that I am not a fair-weather friend.
I wouldn't stab any of my friends in the back. If they make me angry enough for that, I'd rather have it out face to face.
The odd thing is that I don't think any of them are capable of doing anything that might end our relationship anyway. I see friends with two faces everywhere except in the select few who earn a free pass from me.
Maybe I'm naïve to think that they are who I need them to be.
But I have come to realize that you've got to believe in somebody sometime. There has to be at least one or two people in your life who you make promises to that you intend to keep and who you won't let go of even when she moves several counties away.
I have friends like that.
And if they're ever in a jam, they know where I am.

We flew to tenerife from exeter and are lucky to have a local airport within a 1 hour drive. As usual- easy check in and then easy transfer from airport to Thomson Spirit. What a pleasant surprise to see a ship that looked like a liner - not a multi storey car ferry. I believe it wasa liner originally.
our cabin was spacious - unlike the boxes on Cunard Queen Victoria and we had a proper bathroom with bath. No plumbing problems or nasty smells. Very comfortable - could hardly feel the ship move or dock. Quiet. Just what we needed.
The staff are really professional, efficient & friendly. I am chairman of a large Tourism association and know a bit about the holiday business and I can say the high level of staff training shines through. Thank you in particular to Clifford & Joven & Nadya. Lovely people - so polite and made us feel special.
The food in Compass Rose always presented well - tasty and at the right temperature.
What really made our holiday was the outstanding performances of the show team every night. The girl singers, Natalie, Jessica and Hannah - made the performers on British TV look terrible. they are so good and the costumes amazing. they are led well by old Ross - who can sing a bit himself.
Well Thomson - much better than we expected and will be happy to join you again - soon we hope. I can reccomend because this is a very well organised Company - everything went like Clockwork. Thank you.
