Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder visits Boys & Girls Club
Date: December 15, 2009
by: Jen Blanco | Associate Editor
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Lastings Milledge, a 2003 Lakewood Ranch High School graduate, visited with members of the Palmetto Boys & Girls Club Dec. 14.
During his visit, Milledge reflected on going to elementary school in Palmetto, having played baseball and football as a youth here, and shared stories about his hard work and dedication to the sport of baseball with club members. Milledge offered words of advice and answered questions, signed autographs, took photos and distributed Pirates baseball hats.
Following his discussion, Milledge toured the site of the new Palmetto Boys & Girls Club building, which will be competed in April, and played pool and ping-pong with club members.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Manatee County serve more than 3,000 youth at five locations (Harllee Middle School, Southeast High School, Bradenton, DeSoto and Palmetto). The mission of the Boys & Girls Clubs is to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Here's a look at a key matchup heading into the Week 13 game between the Packers and Niners at Lambeau Field.
Niners TEs Vernon Davis and Delanie Walker vs. Packers SS Charlie Peprah
It will be important for the Packers' pass defense to pay close attention to both of the Niners' extremely fast and athletic tight ends and not just Davis, who remains San Francisco's key receiving weapon after having a Pro Bowl season for the ages last year. Included in Davis' '09 season was a very strong effort in the Packers' 30-24 victory over San Francisco in Week 11 — 108 yards receiving and a touchdown.
Davis has not been nearly as dominant this season but is still the Niners' leading receiver with 40 catches for 548 yards (13.7 ypc) and four TDs. He has been bothered by an ankle injury for a while now and has been used more as a blocker in max-protection schemes, which has reduced his receiving opportunities.
Walker, meanwhile, has become much more of a factor in the Niners' offense under new coordinator Mike Johnson and is having the best season of his five-year career (19-257-0 with 13.5 yards per catch).
The physical Peprah has been much better as a run defender than in coverage this season. The Packers had a rather difficult time last week handling Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez (6-51-1), and with fellow safeties Atari Bigby (hamstring) and Anthony Smith (ankle) doubtful for the Niners game, the likelihood has increased that both CB Charles Woodson and FS Nick Collins may have to pitch in more than a little in terms of handling the Davis-Walker duo on Sunday.

Iraqi LGBT — the London-based group with a network of members and supporters inside Iraq that documents anti-gay violence — last week released details on the latest series of murders of Iraqi gays by fanatical Islamist death squads. At the same time, the group says lack of money will force it to close two of the five safe houses it maintains in Iraq for gay Iraqis who have been threatened with death and forced to flee their homes. And the group's coordinator has himself been targeted for death by an anti-gay fatwa.
"I received a death fatwa sent to my personal e-mail address last month," Ali Hili, the 33-year-old gay Iraqi exile who is the full-time volunteer coordinator of Iraqi LGBT, told me by telephone from London. "It came from the official headquarters of Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in Qum, Iran, and was stamped with his signature."
The 78-year-old Ayatollah Sistani, the Iranian born-and educated cleric who is the spiritual leader of all Iraqi Shia Muslims, issued an infamous fatwa calling for death for all gays and all lesbians in "the most severe way possible" in October 2005, inspiring the deployment of anti-gay death squads by the Badr Corps, military arm of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), the most powerful political Shia group in Iraq and now the cornerstone of the current Iraqi government. The Badr Corps was integrated into the Iraqi Interior Ministry last Fall, and its members now wear police uniforms and are able to operate with full police powers. Gay City News first broke the story about the systematic murder of Iraqi gays last March (see this reporter's article, "Shia Death Squads Target Iraqi Gays-U.S. Indifferent," March 23, 2006).
Hili — who was the subject of an excellent, lengthy profile in the February issue of GQ magazine by openly gay journalist David France — said the fatwa targeting him called on him to "repent" his homosexuality or face killing, was dated February 5, and was received by Hili shortly after Hili's own brother, who was not gay but who had been helping Iraqi LGBT and received death threats for his activism, was murdered in Baghdad. "I reported this death threat against me to the Metropolitan London Police, and am now under their protection," said Hili, who is also the Middle East spokesman for the militant British gay rights group OutRage.
"Our ability to report on the assassinations of gays in Iraq by the death squads has increased in the last few months as word of our Iraqi LGBT group has spread among Iraqi gays, both by Internet and by word of mouth," Hili explained. "That means we now have contacts, supporters, and members in a number of cities, for example in the south of Iraq, which we didn't have a year ago," he added.
Iraqi LGBT reported it had documented the following new murders, which Hili told me are "only the tip of the iceberg":
n Anwar, a 34-year-old taxi driver, was a member of Iraqi LGBT and had helped run one of the group's safe houses in Najaf. After he was stopped at a police checkpoint and arrested in January this year, he disappeared. His body was found in March, and he had been subjected to an execution-style killing;
n Nouri, a 29-year-old tailor in Karbala, had received many death threats by letter and phone accusing him of leading a gay life. He was kidnapped in February, and found dead a few days later, his body mutilated and his head severed;
n Hazim, a 21-year-old Baghdadi who was well-known to be gay, received death threats because of his homosexuality, and was seized in his home in February by police on an arrest warrant accusing him of leading "a scandalous life" because of his homosexuality. Hazim's body was subsequently found with several gunshots to the head, and his family was forced to leave their home in fear;
n Khalid, a 19-year-old student who lived in the al-Kadomya district of Baghdad, was kidnapped in December 2006. Last month, his family received a phone call from police telling them to reclaim Khalid's body from the Baghdad morgue — where they found the body had been tortured and burned;
n Sayf, a gay 25-year old, worked as a translator for the Iraqi police. He was kidnapped in February in Baghdad's Al-Adhamya suburb by men in Ministry of Interior uniforms who were driving a vehicle bearing police markings, but who were wearing black head masks. Several days later, Sayf's body was discovered, with his head cut off;
n Hasan Sabeh, a 34-year-old transvestite who was also known as Tamara, worked in the fashion industry designing women's clothes. Hasan, who lived in the al-Mansor district of Baghdad, was seized in the street by an Islamist death squad and hanged in public on a holy Shia religious day on January 11, and his body was then mutilated and cut to pieces. When Hasan's brother-in-law tried to defend him, he was also murdered;
n Rami, a 29-year old Basra shopkeeper, was the subject of rumors widely circulated in his neighborhood saying he was gay. He was kidnapped, and his dead body was found in January;
n Khaldoon, a 45-year-old gay man who worked as a chef, lived in the majority Shia Baghdad district of al-Hurriya. He was kidnapped in November 2006 by the Mahdi Army — the armed militia of extremist Shia cleric Hojatoleslam Moqtada al-Sadr, who is now in hiding and, according to an article in the April 10 Times of London, is believed to be in Iran), whose death squads also have been executing gays. Sadr's political formation is also a key component of the curent government. In February of this year, Khaldon's decaying corpse was found;
n Occasionally, some victims of the Islamist extremists have been able to buy their survival. Hamid A., a 44-year-old bisexual man from Baghdad's al-Talibya district, was kidnapped twice by the Sadrist militia. The first time, in April 2006, he, his nephew and brother were all kidnapped and tortured. They were members of a very large extended Sunni family which paid a huge ransom to save their lives. Hamid was kidnapped a second time in November 2006 after an informant reported to police and the Sadrist militia that he was suspected of being gay and was drinking alcohol. He was held in a large office building in Sadr City — a poor Baghdad suburb that was named after Moqtada al-Sadr's father, a prominent Grand Ayatollah, and is a Sadrist stronghold — along with other detainees, mostly Sunnis and Christians. Hamid was again ransomed, and is now in hiding, a rare survivor of the Sadrist militia's interrogation centers;
n Heterosexual friends of gays are also executed. This happened to Majid Sahi, a 28-year-old civil engineer who was not gay but who had been helping Iraqi LGBT members in Baghdad. Majid was abducted from his home by Badr Corps members, and his family was told he was kidnapped because of his "immoral behavior" in helping Iraqi gays. His body was found with bullet wounds to the back of his head on February 23, 2007.
n Alan Thomas was a 23-year-old gay Iraqi Christian who lived in al-Gadeer, a majority Shia district of Baghdad. He received many threats for being gay and was eventually kidnapped and executed by Shia death squads in late 2006.
"These killings and kidnappings are hit-and run, and most of the information we have been able to confirm says they are carried out by people wearing police uniforms and riding in police cars — it's become a pattern," Hili told me.
Hili says he and a handful of volunteers — all gay Iraqis in exile — telephone Iraq at least three times a week to collect and confirm information about the murders of gays. "The phone is safer for our communications with Iraq than the Internet, which can be easily monitored, and also it's hard to have Internet access for most Iraqis — it's expensive, and phone connections to the Internet are often very poor," Hili recounted.
A January Human Rights Report of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI) confirmed the organized "assassinations of homosexuals" in Iraq (see this reporter's article, "U.N. Confirms Iraqi Gay Killings," January 25, 2007.) The report said UNAMI had been "alerted to the existence of religious courts, supervised by clerics, where alleged homosexuals would be 'tried,' 'sentenced' to death, and then executed."
The UNAMI report added that, "The trials, presided over by young, inexperienced clerics, are held… in ordinary halls. Gays and rapists face anything from 40 lashes to the death penalty…One of the self-appointed judges in Sadr City believes that homosexuality is on the wane in Iraq. 'Most [gays] have been killed and others have fled,' he said. Indeed, the number who have sought asylum in the U.K. has risen noticeably over the last few months… [This judge] insists the religious courts have 'a lot to be proud of. We now represent a society that asked us to protect it not only from thieves and terrorists but also from these [bad] deeds.'"
Hili told me that "there are lots of these courts run by self-appointed clerics, both Sadrist and from SCIRI, operating in neighborhoods in Baghdad like Sadr City and al-Shola and even more in the south, in Najaf, Kerbala, and Basra. And one of the few points on which Sunnis and Shias are united is hatred of homosexuals. We've even tried to contact Christian churches in Iraq, but they, too, are so homophobic it's unbelievable — I thought maybe they'd have a little charity, but they hate us too. I have Christian gay friends who have tried to seek help from their churches in Iraq and have been refused."
Hili said the Iraqi LGBT group is suffering from a shortage of funds so severe that it will be forced to close two of the five safe houses it operates in Iraq for men who have been threatened with death for being gay and forced to flee their homes. "They are told to repent and change their ways or else be killed. We currently have two safe houses in Baghdad, one in Diwaniya — a large city an hour and a half south of Baghdad — and also one each further south in Nasiriiya, Basra, and Najaf. We've reluctantly decided we have to close two of the safe houses in the south by the end of this month, because we can't pay the rent for May and June," Hili sadly reported. "We are considering trying to move the guys in those southern safe houses to Baghdad, which means they'll be far from their families."
Iraqi LGBT does not yet have a bank account, Hili explained. "Operating an LGBT acount in Baghdad would be suicide — and all our group's members in London are Iraqi refugees seeking asylum status, so their lack of proper legal status makes it difficult for them to open a bank account," he said. That is why, if you want to help Iraqi gays, you are asked that checks be made payable to OutRage, with a cover note marked "For Iraqi LGBT," and sent to OutRage, P.O. Box 17816, London SW14 8WT, England. OutRage then forwards the contributions to Hili and Iraqi LGBT for wire transfer to Baghdad.

New London — Police arrested a 28-year-old New London man Thursday for allegedly uttering racial comments while assaulting a convenience store clerk.
The incident occurred at 6:30 p.m. at Sam's convenience store at 485 Ocean Ave., when police received reports of an active fight between the store clerk and a customer.
Police said the customer, Max Whitehead, became upset with the clerk and threw money at him before climbing over the counter to physically assault him. While punching the clerk, Whitehead "made reference to the clerk's national origin and threatened him because of it," according to Deputy Police Chief Peter Reichard.
The clerk sustained non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Whitehead was charged with third-degree assault, intimidation based on bigotry or bias and breach of peace. Whitehead was held in lieu of a $50,000 bond.

Wow, I remember when 4890 CF was pretty much the only thing that could maintain 30+ fps in Crysis @ 1080p at max settings. That's a classic rig :P
Thanks for the kind words, guys.
Yes, the motherboard is very narrow. I'm not sure why, though. I am weighing options on how to change the white on the side panel. I'm looking at a thin, adhesive black foam panel instead of paint. It'd be nice to add a little sound deadening to the case if possible.
I built this rig in May of this year. I have been piecing parts together since May of last year, when I bought that H50 on clearance for $20. I got the 4890's from New Egg brand new for $75/piece on Black Friday.
Some of the parts are old tech, but they are still running great.
I've got water blocks coming for the 4890s. Even with all the reviews I read, I never imagined they would be as hot as they are. However, the known fan noise issue was remedied by me right off the bat, so they're not too terrible loud.
Edit: Here's a shot of the box with the flash on.

I couldn't quite get the pictures I wanted with the complete absence of light, even with some borrowed light from the house. We haven't connected cables yet, but the loop's been bled and stuff. So we're about done.

We were originally going to install a third radiator in the roof, but I realized post-arrival that the 45mm rad I'd picked wouldn't quite fit in place. Durp. Until we can remedy that, I've gone back on my plan and just gone with two 240mm rads in the bottom... Which are completely unsecured, because goddamnit I can hardly budge them in the first place where they are now.

The tubes on the motherboard are messier than I wanted them to, but I couldn't find a cleaner route. Damned things kinked with what I originally planned, and the alternatives I could think of would largely end up worse looking again. :<
Cause I've been looking for 140mm white LED fans and it's rather hard to find a place to buy them in Denmark. I had to look on ebay and amazon to find good ones with a rather low postage price. I've found one now though, but I'm just curious

Yep, 120mm.
It's made by Enermax. The part number is: UCAP12. They make a 140mm version in white (UCAP14), but I can't find it either. I need one to replace the fan in my PSU.
If you're up for some different colors, they have some very cool 2 and 3 color fans. So far, I really like it. Looks better and is quiter than the Xigmateks I used for my last build.
Okay thanks!
And nah, right now I'm going for a black n white theme for my rig I might get 2x120mm white LED fans too for my H100, but I'll wait for that. Not sure if I like that much light :P
But I'm post pics when I've mounted my 140mm fan in the rear. I actually just got it in the mail today! Hopefully gonna fix it tomorrow

Weeee pics time
New stuff:
Cleanup time! And of course putting the new fans between the radiator and the case top was a pain...
Taking apart the GTX580...the thermal paste was pretty much powder by this point...
This thin-ass heatsink ends up eating 3 slots. Grr grr....
H100 with *proper* fans this time...
The NZXT 2 meter LED kit in action. Only the front fan is LED, the rest of the light is coming from the wire. And before you say "fucking hell Xuvial that's not a computer, it's a 12-year-olds fantasy of christmas and looks immature as fuck" the kit was set to maximum brightness and the camera makes things 10x brighter than they actually are.
It does make a rather pleasing silhouette...(again, maximum brightness dammit, leave me alone)
You can see the LED controller on the far left side. With the side panel on the wires aren't visible, and that's all that matters right
How hot is that harddisk getting with the ssd on it ?
considering there is a big ass case fan next to it, im guessing not very hot

After struggling through 2011, Red Sox outfielder Carl Crawford underwent wrist surgery in January, which might have been a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your perspective. At the time, it didn't look like Crawford would miss Opening Day. A little later on, it looked like Crawford would miss Opening Day. Then he was cleared to swing, and it looked like Crawford wouldn't miss Opening Day. Now he's had a setback, and it looks like Crawford will miss Opening Day.
Crawford will need to rest left wrist five to seven games because of inflammation. Opening day in jeopardy.— Nick Cafardo (@nickcafardo) March 5, 2012
Crawford was swinging the bat fine for a little while, but then he developed inflammation in his surgically repaired wrist. If you ask him, he thinks he tried to do too much too soon. Scott Lauber:
"Bunting didn't help it," he said. "Pretty sure just what I've been doing over the course of the week, bunting and swinging and throwing and just doing all the activities probably didn't make it no better. The bunting, that was the final thing that probably took it over the edge."
I understand how bunting might have irritated Crawford's wrist, but it's funny to sit back and think that Carl Crawford made his situation worse by trying to bunt. Bunting: it's not harmless no more. In fact, A.J. Burnett sustained his broken facial bone while he was trying to bunt. On the one hand, bunting practice is apparently dangerous. On the other hand, I guess these players need a lot more practice bunting.
Crawford's wrist is getting better, and he should make a full recovery. Should he have to miss the beginning of the regular season, Cody Ross and Ryan Sweeney would flank Jacoby Ellsbury. It sounds kind of significant to say "Crawford's opening day in jeopardy", but the reality is that Crawford could become active shortly thereafter. Opening Day sounds more meaningful than it is.

Hooking, fighting, and beating a blue marlin, swordfish, big tuna, large wahoo, monster shark, or any impressive offshore fish aboard a center console is quite an accomplishment. When that trophy lies alongside the boat, inches away from you, it's an unforgettable, eye-opening experience!
We've enjoyed spectacular battles with just about every pelagic species in southern waters. And each encounter is just as exhilarating as the last. Like other hard-core, center-console offshore anglers, we've refined our tactics over the years, so we're successfully raising and hooking more trophy fish, as well as fighting and beating them in a efficient, well-thought-out fashion. Here are our tactics aboard my MARC VI.
"Cheated-Up" Reels
While large sport-fishing boats can back down after a powerful fish, center-console boats can't duplicate that feat, especially in rough seas. Instead, we give chase from the bow, often with limited hands to clear rods and the cockpit. Therefore, a bit more time is required to clear teasers, dredges and remaining outfits, and position our angler to give chase.
When trolling for a huge fish like blue marlin, extra line capacity is advantageous, as it allows extra time to set up a bow-first pursuit. For example, when we're dialing in on blue marlin, I'll use my Penn 50 Wide Internationals filled with 80-pound braid, followed by a 150- to 200-yard top shot of 50-pound monofilament; My Penn 70 Internationals are filled with 100-pound braid and a 150- to 200-yard top shot of 80-pound-test monofilament. The small-diameter braid enables line capacity to jump from a standard 800 yards of mono to well over 1,200 yards. You'll likely never need that much line, but it's good to have it, just in case.
This tactic is ideal with 30-pound tackle for big tuna, billfish or sharks: Spool up with 50-pound braid and a 150- to 200-yard, 30-pound mono top shot.
Set That Iron
To solidly plant the hook, you must first overcome the stretch in monofilament line. When setting up on a fish, we'll troll straight ahead at the same speed for at least 30 to 45 seconds.
The running fish, combined with the forward motion of the boat, eliminates most of the stretch in the monofilament to provide a solid hookup. Another advantage to maintaining course and speed is the remaining baits stay in play, perhaps enticing a second or third fish. Shifting immediately into neutral after hooking up thwarts hook-sets, and unplugs the bait spread.
Clear the Arena
We joke that the person fighting the fish, no matter how large, has a less strenuous job than the person clearing the cockpit. This is especially true aboard our boat, as we often troll two surface teasers and two large dredges, and a minimum of five outfits.
Everyone has a role, even if it's just me and a friend. Upon slowing the boat to fight the fish, the drill is to wind in lines that could interfere with the hooked fish, followed by teasers, close lines, and dredges. Rods are racked, teasers removed or wound up out of the water, and dredges stowed. The goal: a clean ocean in which to fight the fish, and a clean cockpit from which to fight and wire the fish.

Associated Press
---- — BOSTON — The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings acknowledged to the FBI his role in the attacks but did so before he was advised of his constitutional rights to keep quiet and seek a lawyer, officials said yesterday.
It is unclear whether those statements would be admissible in a criminal trial and, if not, whether prosecutors even need them to win a conviction. Officials said physical evidence, including a 9 mm handgun and pieces of a remote-control device commonly used in toys, was recovered from the scene.
The suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, told authorities that his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, only recently recruited him to be part of the attack, two U.S. officials said. The CIA, however, named Tamerlan to a terrorist database 18 months ago, officials said yesterday, an acknowledgment that will undoubtedly prompt congressional inquiry about whether investigators took warnings from Russian intelligence officials seriously enough.
The U.S. officials who spoke to The Associated Press were close to the investigation but insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case with reporters.
Tamerlan, whom authorities have described as the driving force behind the plot, was killed in a shootout with police. Dzhokhar is recovering in a hospital from injuries sustained during a getaway attempt.
Authorities had previously said Dzhokhar exchanged gunfire with them for more than an hour Friday night before they captured him inside a boat covered by a tarp in a suburban Boston neighborhood backyard. But two U.S. officials said yesterday that he was unarmed when captured, raising questions about the gunfire and how he was injured.
Investigators have said the brothers appeared to have been radicalized through jihadist materials on the Internet and have found no evidence tying them to a terrorist group.
Dzhokhar told the FBI that they were angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the killing of Muslims there, officials said.
How much of those conversations will end up in court is unclear. The FBI normally tells suspects they have the right to remain silent before questioning them so all their statements can be used against them.
Under pressure from Congress, however, the Department of Justice has said investigators may wait until they have gathered intelligence about other threats before reading those rights in terrorism cases. The American Civil Liberties Union has expressed concern about that.
Regardless, investigators have found pieces of remote-control equipment among the debris and were analyzing them, officials said. One official described the detonator as "close-controlled," meaning it had to be triggered within several blocks of the bombs.
They also recovered a 9 mm handgun believed to have been used by Tamerlan from the site of a Thursday night gunbattle that injured a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority officer, two U.S. officials said.
The officials told the AP that no gun was found in the boat. Boston police Commissioner Ed Davis said earlier that shots were fired from inside the boat.
Asked whether the suspect had a gun in the boat, Davis said, "I'm not going to talk about that."
Kurt Schwartz, director of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, did respond to the report.
"Within half a mile of where this person was captured, a police officer was shot. And I know who shot him." Schwartz said. "And there were three bombs that went off, and I know where those bombs came from. ... To me, it does not change anything. This guy was captured alive and will survive. True or not true, it doesn't change anything for me."
Dzhokhar's public defender had no comment on the matter yesterday. His father has called him a "true angel," and an aunt has insisted he's not guilty.
The suspects' parents, Anzor Tsarnaev and Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, plan to fly to the U.S. from Russia on Thursday, the father was quoted as telling the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti. The family has said it wants to take Tamerlan's body back to Russia.
In Russia, U.S. investigators traveled to the predominantly Muslim province of Dagestan and were in contact with the brothers' parents, hoping to gain more information.
Investigators are looking into whether Tamerlan, who spent six months in Russia's turbulent Caucasus region in 2012, was influenced by the religious extremists who have waged an insurgency against Russian forces in the area for years. The brothers have roots in Dagestan and neighboring Chechnya but had lived in the U.S. for about a decade.
In another milestone in Boston's recovery, the area around the marathon finish line was reopened to the public, with fresh cement still drying on the repaired sidewalk. Delivery trucks made their way down Boylston Street under a heavy police presence, though some damaged stores were still closed.
"I don't think there's going to be a sense of normalcy for a while," Tom Champoux, who works nearby, said as he pointed to the boarded-up windows. "There are scars here that will be with us for a long time."

One aspect that never seems to be put into the financing picture is that once the process is entirely proven and generating monthly cash at a very healthy profit margin, the clay resource becomes an incredibly high value asset to put as collateral. (As I said elsewhere, from DIRT to RICHES)
Even if you put only $10 per tonne value on the clay, the single Marin sector would be valued to 10 billion dollars. The sale value that Orbite might get from one tonne is about $200 if I'm not mistaken, based on annual sales of approximately $500M and 2.5M tonnes extracted. That would be... 200 billions. Marin sector alone...
And this will all be true and fact in a few weeks.
I can't imagine that they would have difficulty to find the 100-150 $M needed, especially if the BFS is on the same high quality level as the PEA. Remember someone - was it Knox or an analyst? - saying the PEA was a mega one, approaching the size order of a full FS. Even more so with the Québec govt insisting on Investissement Québec and Caisse de Dépot putting more money in developing Québec industries, and the new financial incentives.

Ettore Ewen only played one year for the Iowa football team, but has since been building up name recognition in the WWE.
Ewen, now known as Big E Langston, is in Cedar Rapids this weekend for the WWE Live event at the US Cellular Center.
He first began in professional wrestling in 2009 spending his early years in development. Late last year, he made it on to the WWE's elite roster.
While at Iowa, teammates considered Ewen to be somewhat introverted. Wrestling has completely changed that.
"I remember people telling me, guys I played ball with were wondering 'can you really do this?' 'Is it something you can really do?' because I was a guy who kept to myself," Ewen said, "I was a little social, but not that much. Doing this has allowed me to get out of my shell, be myself, and have fun. It's something that was a bit of a surprise to some people, but I've had a blast."

Berlin, Germany
September 6th, 2013
About this event
As of 2008, more than half the world's population lives in cities. By 2050, that figure is projected to climb to 70 percent. The world's urban centers are faced with a global challenge, but the necessary solutions will start on a local level.
TEDxBerlin "City 2.0" is a response to that challenge. How will our living conditions change as urban populations swell? What about health care, energy, and transport? And what qualities must the City 2.0 have in order to be a livable place?
TEDxBerlin has assembled more than 20 visionaries dedicated to answering such questions. From the practical to the fantastical, from groundbreaking projects that are already underway to utopian dreams—the perspectives we will explore on September 6-7 will shed light on what's in store for our cities, and how we urban citizens can become part of the discussion.

Leading Worcestershire health figure Dr Richard Taylor reacts to report into Stafford Hospital scandal
Updated 6:42pm Wednesday 6th February 2013 in News By James Connell
SENIOR nurses need to become more like 'formidable' old-style matrons to prevent a repeat of the 'appalling' care suffered by patients at a neighbouring hospital says a county health expert.
Retired county hospital physician and former Wyre Forest MP Dr Richard Taylor has welcomed a "zero tolerance" approach to poor care after "appalling" failings at Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust which runs Stafford Hospital.
Yesterday the chairman of the £13 million inquiry Robert Francis QC published his final report.
In it he made 290 sweeping recommendations for healthcare regulators, providers and the Government, including that hospitals which failed to comply with a "fundamental standard" should be forced to close. Healthcare providers should also be liable for prosecution if they fail to comply with standards. David Cameron has also announced the creation of a new post – Chief Inspector of Hospitals. There will be a statutory obligation on doctors and nurses for a duty of candour so they are open about mistakes.
Dr Taylor believes the whole NHS complaints process is 'useless' and needs to be reformed. He welcomed the extra support for whistle-blowers, the subject of a private members bill he tried to bring through Parliament as an MP. Dr Taylor also welcomed focus on nursing leadership and said Tony Blair did 'tremendous harm' by abolishing the old style 'proper' matrons who provided 'a very formidable presence' and 'kept staff on their toes'.
Worcester MP Robin Walker said MPs needed to play a greater role in flagging up problems.
"No-one should ever have to fear going to hospital," he said. "Clearly Stafford was an exceptional case and the fundamental thing it shows is that patient care must be the focus. Thankfully in Worcestershire the vast majority of people going to hospital come out with a positive view."
A spokesman for Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust said leaders wound now consider the recommendations with patients and staff.
- Below, Mike Farrar, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, tells BBC4 Today presenter John Humphrys that he feels "saddened and ashamed" that the NHS has let down people who alleged to have been mistreated at the Mid Staffordshire hospital.

Too much ruling from "the top" and less decisions on the job front is a problem, everything up the hill depends upon costs. People leaving are not replaced immediately if at all which leaves the wards short however saves the Trust a few months pay to help balance the books. And yes I was one of those old fashioned nurses for whom nursing was a vocation which sadly it does not appear to be at the moment.

Once my wife had
burnt the toast (yes they made breakfast for the patients in those days). She heard a call from Sister: "Don't scrape the toast, nurse. You wouldn't like it and NEITHER DO MY PATIENTS!!"
The shameless coward now running the NHS and once the head of the Mid Staffs disgrace should RESIGN with immediate effect.

It is not just in Stafford, and this shameful situation has been getting worse for the last 15 or so, maybe longer, years, ever since 'managers' were deemed to be more important than the nursing staff.

"... when I see a fact plainly I feel lightened, set free from the more or less conscious effort to maintain a delusion." - Anne Truitt, Daybook: The Journal of an Artist.
Lately, I've become a bit obsessed with scouring online historical archives of letters, manuscripts and photos that I have access to at work. Many are even open without a subscription and many are available in such public arenas for anyone to search on such as the Library of Congress archives where Wikimedia Commons and Shorpy get most of their photos. Since they're open for anyone to search I've taken to scouring the lot at home too. I've always had a fascination with the past and my love of old movies is a part of that. I not only love the art form itself, but I love the idea of old movies acting as a sort of time capsule. Ever since I watched Dancing Lady and put up the video of the chorus girls singing The Gang's All Here (second clip at the bottom of the post) I've wondered what happened to them? What direction did their lives take? I wondered the same after posting about Debra Paget and Gloria Krieger in which I detailed the arcs of their respective careers. But it's more than just movie chorus girls and bygone studio hopefuls. It's also all the people that never had anything to do with show business.
Scouring the archival news photos produces an uneasiness at times and a sadness as well. There are crime photos of policemen at the scene of a brutal beating or murder. There are photos of people living on the edge of society, making do, scraping by. Photos of poor children from the Depression clinging to their mothers. And most photos come with names included, as well as addresses and dates. And yet searches online come up blank in an effort to find out more about them. Alas, events as bad occur so often and situations as dire exist worldwide with such permanence and repeat with such consistency that most records are limited to a caption on a news photo. There simply isn't any other information on these people available and soon enough, they are all forgotten.
Then there are the time capsule photos, personal portraits from another time and place. There's a Navajo child with a blanket around his head in 1905. He looks to be about five years old. It's a stretch to think he's still alive, but having a 109 year old person today isn't nearly as rare or extraordinary as it used to be. Whether alive or dead, I wonder what his life was like. Of course, I'll never know.
And this fascination of mine goes back well before the internet came along. In my early teens I used to go to the local college's library and spend hours going through microfilm from the early twentieth century. I read about the Titanic, the Stock Market crash of 1929, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the 1964 Anchorage earthquake and so on, all from the perspective of what was written in that moment, before it became rigid history.
And when I had my driver's license I drove deep into the rural areas of my birth state, South Carolina. I'd get in the car and drive for an hour or two until I was as far away from civilization as I could get, until I was surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of marsh and communities without electricity, where they farm what they eat and bury their dead in makeshift cemeteries near their homes. I stopped at a couple of these cemeteries, a few miles into the woods off of Highway 41. The names of men and woman who had lived for only a few years or for ninety were burned into thick pieces of wood acting as tombstones. What had their lives been like? Were they aware of many of the historic events of their day or did they live sheltered in their own community unaware of most of the goings on of the outside world? Had they ever watched a television? Been to a movie? Listened to a radio? Talked on a phone?
When I left South Carolina all those years ago I knew I would be leaving those explorations behind but I wasn't sure how much longer those areas would survive anyway. On visits back home in the nineties I found new mini-mansions going up just a mile or two from the rural areas I once frequented. The roads leading up to them, once dirt for miles, were now paved up to the new homes. And power lines were now evident where before there were none. Are those communities and cemeteries I drove to many years ago still there or have the remaining families been bought out and relocated? I assume the latter only because new technology like Google maps has allowed me to search the areas I once visited without physically returning to them. From overhead anyway, they look pretty full now. And so one more remnant of the past is lost forever. Had I taken pictures back then there might be that to show for it but like those news photos it still wouldn't tell much of a story. Most of it will always reside only within the memory.
But memories don't even last very long, including memories within familial generations. Grandparents are often remembered firsthand but great-grandparents are only names from stories related by older relatives. Great-great-grandparents are usually unknown to most family members even by way of story. Beyond that, going back five or so generations most of us have no clue as to who was in our family at that time or what their names were. And even if we do because we researched our genealogy it's still not the same as having an actual memory of them.
Eventually, everyone reading this post will be forgotten. Not a one of us will be remembered beyond a certain point in time. Even those figures in history who changed the landscapes of their times are eventually just a name that very few people know. Figures from a few hundred years in the past are still known well enough today but go back three thousand years and the number of people who know the rulers of Egypt or Greece or China will drop by factors of ten. In ten thousand years the 20th Century figures so prominent in our historical studies today will be completely and totally forgotten to all but a few of the most ardent history enthusiasts. That's because so much will happen in the next ten thousand years that will gradually overtake all that came before.
Of course, in the end, the universe will run its course regardless of what any of us do. No matter how important we may think we are, the fact is that a stray dog or an oak tree or a pebble on the side of the road will have as much impact on the outcome of the universe as you, and they're not even trying. All we can hope for is to make our time here worthwhile, for both ourselves and those important to us.
My wife makes life worthwhile for me as do my adopted children, my cat, my friends and family and my online friends and fellow bloggers. Sometimes I feel like abandoning them all in a fit of insecure temperament. A feeling of not being impactful enough on the things around me, impactful in a positive way. But of course I don't. There's too much still to be experienced and for most of it, I'm the only record it's ever going to have. Once I'm gone most of those records will go with me.
And that includes movies. Even though thousands of movies from the thirties and before exist in digital form most are not viewed in anything approaching the numbers of even the most moderately successful January filler movie put out by Studio A. I don't express it enough in comments on other blogs (something I've become very remiss in doing lately outside of my core group of blogs, and you know who you are because of my comments there) but I have a level of appreciation that goes far beyond what a "thanks" or "great post" could ever adequately express. When I see one of my online friends review a little known film from the thirties or forties or any decade really, I feel a pleasure and a pride at being a part of that community. I may not comment as often as I should on the classic film blogs that fill my blogroll, or the other blogs that deal with a specific niche or genre, but I am grateful for what they do. And when a blogger writes up a film that few people have bothered to see they are recording it for history. It's true. You see, outside of the big classics or the current blockbusters there isn't a huge online digital archive of reviews for thousands and thousands of little known or underseen movies. For better or worse, the blogs and the websites are historical archives that keep the memory alive for everything from The Third Secret, Witchcraft, and Gabriel Over the White House to Beyond the Rocks, Edvard Munch, or La Bête Humaine. I'd like to keep contributing to that community myself and continue to be one of its record keepers.
But I grow weary. Weary of the structure, weary of restricting or limiting myself based on what type of blog I'm supposed to be running. A weariness that soon turns to hopelessness. I cannot start another blog. I simply cannot do it. I have three running right now and a fourth would drive me over the edge. I'd rather just throw everything in here, stir it up and see what happens. The name of the blog is Cinema Styles and I'd like to explore the cinema more deeply. But I'd like to explore that which is spoken to me by photography as well, even if said photograph has nothing to do with the movies. Tom Sutpen's blog If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger, There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats has always been an inspiration to me, so in love with the photographic record of the past as I am. I'd like to take that inspiration and make something of it right here on Cinema Styles. So expect to start seeing photos from history outside of the movies as well. Maybe even my own photos will post from time to time, maybe my own movies, and not just the montages but original productions. I don't know what I want to do exactly and I probably never will. But I do know this: I don't want to be weighed down by delusions anymore. I've got a humdrum job and my wife and I struggle to make ends meet. That's a fact. We find solace in each other and our art. And I find solace in memory, the collective memory of the world around me and I want to keep that memory alive for as long as I can and in any way that I can. It's a journey I want to take and if you want to go along with me I welcome you. If not, I understand and no offence taken but don't act surprised when decidedly non-movie posts begin to appear with more frequency. The focus here will always be the movies, fear not, but a little branching out is good for the soul.
A love of history is as big a part of me as a love of film and for me, they go hand in hand. I see movies when I read about history which is to say I see stories being told. And when I see a movie I see moments preserved in time. A movie like It Happened One Night, this past weekend's Friday Night Movie for me, my wife and our youngest who made the selection, isn't just a great road comedy but a visual record of how things looked in 1934. Even if how they looked is only how things looked for movies at that time, or how people spoke, it's still a record of that. And the past recorded by photograph or film is something I'd like to explore more deeply. And so I shall. Like I said before, join me if you will, the choice is yours. I'll make the journey regardless but I'd love to have some company. And let's lay that name illusion to rest for good. I've had all I can take of the moniker "Jonathan Lapper." After almost two years I know it's quite an adjustment to throw on people and I apologize but I don't want any curtains obscuring anything here, anymore. A couple of you already know this but for the rest of you my first name is Greg and my last name is the same as the director of Bad Lieutenant who has the first name Abel. To keep it relatively Google search safe from work (notice I didn't actually spell out the last name but feel free to use it just as you would use Lapper) I'll go by Greg F., taking my inspiration from my friend Bill R. And since so many I've met here ARE my friends, I feel they should call me by my name. My real name.
And that's it for now. I look forward to sharing and recording images and thoughts on movies and history and blurring the line between both. And sharing photographs and movies of my own creation. And I'll enjoy doing it as myself. Finally.

Police still searching for missing Burnley woman
Updated 9:58am Thursday 20th February 2014 in News
POLICE are appealing for help to find a 19-year-old woman missing from her home in Burnley.
Danielle Catton has been missing from her home on Burnley Road in Padiham since 1pm on Friday.
She last made contact with her family on Sunday afternoon.
Police are growing increasingly concerned for her welfare and are urging anybody that has seen Danielle or knows of her current whereabouts to contact them.
Sgt Michael Smith said: "Although streetwise, Danielle is vulnerable as she has learning difficulties. It is unusual for her to be missing for this length of time and I would ask people to be vigilant and to report any sightings of Danielle to police on 101.
"We believe she is likely to be in the Burnley area."
Danielle is described as being around 5ft2, slim build with shoulder length dark brown hair. She was last seen wearing a black leather jacket and black trainers.

Nashville's new school calendar might be changing again, and this time, kids could be in class even more.
The intersession program in Metro Nashville Public Schools has been around for only a year, but the director of schools says a different approach is needed.
The current school calendar includes 175 school days, with two week-long breaks that include time for voluntary intersessions to get in more learning time.
Now, district leaders are considering three options for the 2014-2015 school calendar. One would keep things the way they are, another would get rid of the voluntary intersessions and the third plan would add extra days.
The third option is the one school leaders want, but it won't be cheap.
"The longer school year in my opinion is the ideal," said MNPS Director Dr. Jesse Register.
Register is advocating adding nine extra days to school year. Four of those days would be used for more professional development for teachers, and students would be in the classroom for an extra five days.
"It's not automatic, but I think it's certainly a factor that can make a difference if we use it well," Register said.
The district had hoped many kids would take part in the voluntary intersessions during fall and spring breaks to get in more learning time, but only 7,500 kids showed up, which Register attributes to federal funding cuts and transportation issues.
His idea is to get all kids back in the classroom, but that plan would cost the district $18 million.
"If it's important for us to increase learning time for students and quality instruction time, then I think it's an expenditure well worth considering," Register said.
Parents have mixed opinions, with some thinking the added days of instruction are needed to raise test scores.
"Five more days, I don't know how much that would help, but it sounds good to me," said parent Monique Dotson.
Other parents say the kids need a break.
"When they get out for summer vacation, they really don't have that much time until they go back to school," said parent Janice Crowder.
The school board will have to approve one of the three calendar options, and the board members could vote on it at their August meeting.

My two daughters, 18 and 21, and I had a wonderful time on Oasis of the Seas. There were more activities than we had time for and there were entire areas of the ship we never even saw. We loved the shows and saw every one of them because I made reservations in advance. People who waiting until they got on the ship weren't able to see everything because the shows were already booked. If you want to see the shows, make your reservations early.
My girls are picky eaters so we mostly ate at the Windjammer. The two dinners we had in the main dining room were good. We didn't try any of the specialty restaurants.
Our category D cabin was roomy enough for the three of us to be comfortable and the balcony had room for a table and three chairs without crowding. The service we received from our room steward was exceptional. The bathroom was bigger than ones on other ships I've been on and the shower, while compact, was not uncomfortable.
If you want to feel the movement of the ship, this is not the ship for you. It is so big that most of the time all I felt was a slight shimmy, if that. I love to feel a ship roll so I was disappointed to miss that.
Oasis of the Seas is truly remarkable. The different neighborhoods, the entertainment venues and the activities are all amazing. My daughters felt the entertainment for their age group was not very good but they enjoyed themselves without organized activities.
The ports were standard Eastern Caribbean fare and are similar to any other cruise line in the area. The features which make Oasis stand out are the shows, the sheer size of the ship and the huge variety of activities the ship has to offer. The ship is the destination.

|Marion Township Trustees meet
|Sunday, June 16, 2013 11:55 PM
The Marion Township Trustees held their regular scheduled meeting on Tuesday at the Marion Township Office with the following members present: Joseph Youngpeter, Howard Violet and Jerry Gilden.
The purpose of the meeting was to pay bills and conduct ongoing business. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved as read. The trustees then reviewed the bills and gave approval for 14 checks totaling $12,356.08.
Fire Chief Tom Hadding and Trustee Paul Basinger from American Township, were present to discuss the upcoming Fire and EMS Contract. After some discussion, they stated that if there were no changes made to the contract, the cost of the contract is projected to remain the same.
Road Foreman Elwer said that the county is working on the Township's Road Program with it almost being completed.
Fiscal Officer Kimmet gave the trustees the Fund Status and Bank Reconciliation reports for their review and signature.
A resolution was needed to change the Annual Appropriations, which is in the resolution section 79, and will be part of these minutes.
He gave the trustees a copy of the budget for 2014 for their review and advised that he will put the required ad in the paper regarding a public hearing to be held on July 8.
Youngpeter and Gilden attended a viewing regarding vacating an alley in the Landeck area. They asked Elwer to contact the Engineer's office to see if the county records agreed with the survey that was done.
Trustee Gilden stated that the Zoning Appeals Board will meet on June 27.
There being no further business, a motion to adjourn by Gilden was seconded by Violet and passed unanimously.
