Editor's note: Video highlights from Friday's grand opening and interviews with Trader Joe's management will be published on Foxborough Patch Friday afternoon.
The line was long, the cheers were loud and the celebration was on at 350 Patriot Pl. Friday morning as Trader Joe's opened for business in Foxborough.
Hundreds of customers filled the neighborhood grocery store shortly after 8 a.m. following the ceremonial cutting of the Lei.
On hand to celebrate the highly anticipated opening were members of The Kraft Group, including president Jonathan Kraft, members of the New England Patriots cheerleaders, "Pat Patriot," the team's mascot and Trader Joe's Regional Vice President Chris Maguire among others.
Also participating in Trader Joe's grand opening were members of the New England Patriots Women's Association to help out the Women's Lunch Place in Boston. In partnership with Trader Joe's the Patriots Women's Association went "shopping" in the grocery store Friday morning to donate various items to the organization, which is a community center for poor and homeless women and their children in the Boston area.
The grand opening festivities will continue throughout the day with live music, free raffles for prizes, food demos and more.
Inside, the store is every bit of the 16,000 square feet it said it would be – filling the space formerly occupied by Circuit City - giving customers plenty of room to shop.
The Foxborough location is the 18th Trader Joe's in Massachusetts and the first in the company's chain that's fully integrated into an NFL stadium site.
Trader Joe's celebrates its presence in the neighborhood by liking its appearance with town-inspired decor. Foxborough's Trader Joe's is no different, scoring a touchdown in the decor department.
From scenes of Foxborough's Town Hall and the old Foxborough Fire Shed to Gillette Stadium and the New England Patriots, residents and football fans alike will feel a sense of community pride upon walking into the store.
And speaking of walking in to Trader Joe's in Foxborough, seats and bench tops from the old Foxboro Stadium - now Gillette Stadium's parking lot - are located to the right entrance of the store, providing the feel of a sports museum.
New England Patriots star linebacker Jerod Mayo had the opportunity to tour Trader Joe's before Friday's grand opening and enjoyed the experience. Watch what he had to say here.
Foxborough's newest business will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily offers beer and wine and offers plenty of customer parking spaces.

Delta Sigs and Delta Sig-nificant Others by JenScottie - over 4 years ago
"These Delta Sigs have long since graduated from college but they are still close. In fact, we probably see each other at least each month. The wives/girlfriends/significant others have often said that we are our own fraternity or at least need some recognition since we have all become close. This was a gathering for a bon voyage of one of the brothers who is moving oversees for 2 years. This photo was taken with the Delta Sigs and their Delta Sig-nificant others (although a few were missing - this is about half the crew). The shirts and the party were a huge hit!"

I was just noticing something that seemed interesting to me.
It appears that some of the most successful Super Bowl franchises in history are going to be in this years playoffs.
Let me explain:
The 6 franchises with the most playoff appearances in history are all currently on pace to make the playoffs.
Pitt: 8, 6 wins
Cowboys: 8, 5 wins
Pats: 6, 3 wins
Broncos: 6, 2 wins
49ers: 5, 5 wins
Pack: 5, 4 wins
That is a combined 38 appearances and 25 victories. That is a lot of franchise success.
The other 6 teams don't bring much to the table, in fact the other 6 have less combined appearances and victories than the lowest of the other 6:
Saints: 1, 1 win
Falcons: 1, 0 wins
Lions: 0, 0
Ravens: 1, 1
Jets: 1, 1
Texans: 0, 0
I am not going to do the research to verify this but I am going to blindly guess that this is the most Super Bowl winningest and going to-est playoffs in history. I did try to verify it by googling "Most Super Bowl Winningest and Going To-est playoffs in history" but surprising I did not get the results I was looking for. But this does seem like a playoffs with a lot of franchises packed with Super Bowl pedigree.
And as a fan of 1 of the top 6 teams bragging rights could be at stake!

In the last 6 years, the Findlay Fire Department has handed out 12,000 free smoke detectors, mostly to adults. Now, they're trying a new and different approach this fall.
This fall, during fire prevention week, the Findlay Fire Department is teaming up with the Hancock County Red Cross and Findlay City Schools for a program believed to be one of the first in the state of Ohio.
"We thought we'd get a smoke detector to every one of the kids in Findlay City Schools Elementary, K-5," said Jerry Greer from the Findlay Fire Department. "We thought we'd hit the ones that you know, it affects the most and that's the children."
Eight elementary schools in 4 days have received 3,000 smoke detectors. It's quite the challenge for the Findlay Fire Department but it is a challenge they are up for. It's called 'Project Safe', smoke alarms for everyone, and there's both a short term and long term goal for the students involved.
"Our goal is, as they grow up, they're just going to assume that it's the right thing to do is to have smoke detectors in their house so when they have kids or they have grand-kids, it's just common nature to them to have a smoke detector," said Greer.
He is also hoping the impact is felt at home, after the kids get their smoke detector, their homework assignment is to get their parents to install it.
"Nothing tugs more at your heart strings as a parent than your kids asking for some help," said Greer. "And when they're telling you that they want this smoke detector in their room because they want to be safe, and they want to be able to get out of a fire in the event that one happens at their house, I can't think of a better way of getting the parents on board with a program such as that."

Sergeant Sean Murphy via Boston Magazine
A State Police photographer upset by a controversial Rolling Stone cover released images from the capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to Boston Magazine.
"I hope that the people who see these images will know that this was real. It was as real as it gets," Sergeant Sean P. Murphy told Boston Magazine.
Many argue that a photo of Tsarnaev, the surviving bombing suspect, featured on Rolling Stone glorifies an alleged terrorist.
MBTA Officer Richard Donohue, who was shot in the confrontation with the Tsarnaevs, has called the cover "thoughtless at best."
A State Police spokesman said Murphy will be subject to an internal investigation.

Areas north of Jackson have been icy this week, but early Thursday morning, Mother Nature could dust the metro with snow. "In an area of the state that doesn't see a lot of snow. People will be curious. They'll get out and I think we just want them to be safe. Be careful. Enjoy it, it'll be pretty I think," said Mississippi Emergency Management Director Robert Latham.Because the snow won't fall until the wee hours of the morning, morning commuters will be first in line to see it. "If the temperatures drop below freezing and we've still got moisture on the roads then snow on top of that, you actually could not see the ice underneath. And that's one of the more treacherous conditions you can have if that happens," explained Latham.The National Weather Service says the area will likely be upgraded to a heavy snow warning. That means snow would come down at more than an inch an hour. "I think if there is any good news in this is many of the areas where the snow is going to be the heaviest have not had freezing temperatures. So the roadways should remain relatively clear expect for some over-passes and bridges," Latham said.That's where MDOT comes in. Their trucks are loaded and ready to roll. "Watching the temperatures, we know if the temperature drops to 32 degrees and the roadways are wet, they're going to ice over. We'll have supervisors out monitoring the roadways before and during if that do happen," said Donald Wash, MDOT Maintenance Supervisor.Bridges and over-passes would be the first to get a dose of the salt and rock mixture if needed.

SALISBURY, Md. - Dorothy K. Wiley, 94, of Salisbury passed away on Tuesday, March 12, 2013 at Anchorage Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Born in Baltimore on February 16, 1919 she was the daughter of the late F. Guy Kelly and Cora Edna Kelly. Raised in Anne Arundel County, MD and attended Friendship Methodist Church which property later became part of the Friendship International Airport. Dorothy graduated from Glen Burnie High School and Easton & Burnett Business College in Baltimore. In 1938 she went to work with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as a secretary in Washington, DC. The office was moved to Chicago because of WWII. After marriage she worked as a secretary at a bank in Chicago, the Board of Education in Brookfield, Illinois and wound up her business career as a legal secretary. She was appointed by the court in Michigan to serve as a professional legal guardian to incapacitated persons. Dorothy was a member of Bethany Lutheran Church in Salisbury and had previously been a member of Lutheran Churches in Brookfield, Illinois, Benton Harbor, Michigan and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. She was a member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood for over 50 years and was awarded her gold star for her years of service to the organization. She had an apartment in the home of her sister and brother in law's home in Mallard Landing Retirement Community in Salisbury, Maryland for 10 years before moving to the John B. Parsons Assisted Living Facility. She later moved to Anchorage Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and was a resident there for three years. While living in Mallard Landing she was a member of the Library Committee. She was an avid Chicago Cubs baseball fan and had a strong interest in politics, a great sense of humor, plus a ready smile.
Her husband Robert Ward Wiley passed in 1991. She is survived by her sister, Isabelle K. Smith and a brother in law, William J. Smith Jr., both of Salisbury; a nephew, Stephen C. Smith of Severna Park, Maryland and a niece Anita S. Bavis of Annapolis, Maryland; three grand nieces, Jessica S. Quigley of Arnold, Maryland, Alice Bavis Rausch of Millville, Delaware, Emily Abigail Moquin of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and one grandnephew, Lucas O'Neill Smith of Atlanta, Georgia.
A private interment will be held at Friendship Methodist Cemetery in Anne Arundel County.
Memorial contributions may be made to P.E.O. Chapter V. Legacy Fund in care of Dottie Kerner, 2359 Keen Rd, Chance, MD 21821. Arrangements are in the care of Holloway Funeral Home, P.A., 501 Snow Hill Road, Salisbury, MD 21804. To send condolences to the family, please visit Holloway Funeral Home's website.

On Tuesday morning it was reported that the Baltimore Ravens were "very interested" in free agent OT Bryant McKinnie and on Tuesday afternoon it's now being reported that the two sides have reached an agreement on a deal.
No word yet on the money involved or the length of the contract. He was reportedly looking for about $2.5 million. I wouldn't be surprised if it were a short-term deal as many of the free agents still on the market are signing one-year deals in order to try again at free agency next year.
McKinnie is clearly talented and has the ability to become one of the best offensive tackles in the game. What's not clear, however, is how much he has dedicated himself to being physically. Reportedly, McKinnie showed up to the Vikings last month out of shape which is one of the reasons they cut ties with him.
The reason I think this could work in Baltimore is because the Ravens are a very veteran team that has a tendency to keep some of these guys in line as far as preparing themselves physically and mentally for the season.
The Ravens signed OT Mark LeVoir recently and have rookie OT Jah Reid so McKinnie could quickly challenge for playing time on the right side (if that's where the Ravens indeed put him).
Check out Baltimore Beatdown to see what Ravens fans think of adding McKinnie.

THE FAITH is a powerful thing. It isn't simply "faith," it is "THE FAITH," and you cannot separate "THE FAITH" from THE LAW OF FAITH.
The spiritual world operates on a whole different ORDER than the natural world. So, if you are to experience the SUPER-NATURAL, you have to operate according to the LAW (THE ORDER) of Heaven, which begins and ends with THE LAW OF FAITH!
There isn't ONE THING you do in your life that you don't do by faith. Everything you do, you do by faith!
Faith is exercised the same way whether it is in the natural or in the spiritual realm. The only difference is that in the natural realm, you have faith in your car, faith in your sofa, faith in your career, etc. In the Spirit, you have only ONE OBJECT OF YOUR FAITH: CHRIST!
Get reacquainted with THE LAW OF FAITH, which is THE MASTER KEY that unlocks the storehouse of Heaven itself on your behalf. When you operate in THE LAW OF FAITH, miracles small and large start to happen!

Angels of Death: The Female Nurses
Benign Exploitation
Several nurses have viewed the field of patient care as a way to con people out of their money and enrich themselves. One of the most clever was Amy Archer-Gilligan.
Although she had no qualifications, Archer-Gilligan billed herself as a nurse in 1901 and opened a nursing home for the elderly in Newington, Connecticut. Her devoted patients called her Sister Amy. Six years later, she moved to Windsor, ten miles away, and opened another elderly care facility, the Archer Home for the Elderly and Infirm. It was here that she came up with a scheme.
Sister Amy persuaded some of her patients to pay an insurance premium of $1,000, for which she promised them lifetime care, no matter how long they lived. It seemed too good to be true, and it was. Many of her patients turned over the money, and once she had it in her possession, she made sure they took up no more of her resources. Smothering or poisoning them, she explained their deaths to the local physician who signed the death certificates as old age.
Dr. Howard King apparently saw no reason to be suspicious, despite the rising death toll at Sister Amy's 14-bed facility, and he continued to sign off on each fatality. Between 1911 and 1916, there were 48 deaths, and in fact, both of Sister Amy's successive spouses had died, too, one of them within a year of marrying her.
By 1914, authorities started to get suspicious. An undercover officer signed himself into Sister Amy's nursing home. He listened to her spiel and collected evidence of fraud and foul play, and then took his findings to his colleagues. They exhumed the bodies of Amy's second husband and some of her former patients. Finding high doses of arsenic in the body tissues, they charged Amy Archer-Gilligan with six counts of murder. Consulting with physicians, they discovered that an average death toll in such a small place would be eight to ten, not 48. How could Dr. King not have noticed?
Oddly, he sided with the killer, claiming that the poison had been planted in those bodies to frame her.
Nevertheless, Archer-Gilligan stood trial, and her defense amounted to this: She was a good Christian, which prohibited her from doing such things. Although she was only convicted of the most recent murder, she was given a life sentence. She ended up serving it in an institution for the insane.
Another nurse, Anna Marie Hahn, had a similar idea, but she pursued it more like a grifter. She came to America from Germany in 1929 and settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. There she began to administer health care to several elderly men, ingratiating herself into their wills. Most of them were wealthy, and she was soon showing off their "gifts" of appreciation. By the mid-1930s, she had acquired one estate and was taking what she could from the homes of two other patients who had died. Since the final hours of these men had not been easy, word came to the police that there was something suspicious going on. The latest victim was exhumed.
It turned out that the "nurse" had used arsenic and a strong purgative to dispatch her charges. A search of Hahn's home revealed a cabinet full of poisons, which led to the exhumation of her other patients.
At her trial, Hahn's own husband turned on her, telling the court that she had tried to persuade him to insure his life for a large amount of money. He refused and then suffered from severe stomach cramps soon thereafter.
While Hahn admitted to swindling and theft, she claimed to be innocent of the three murders. Yet the jury convicted her and she had the honor of being Ohio's first female executed in the electric chair.
Killing for money is a mundane motive, but it makes more sense than those nurses who promise to nurture and heal, and then kill for excitement.

1Here's Another Trailer for 'Oz: The Great and Powerful'!
Can I say how much I love Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz as the witches of Oz? Yeah, I mean, I know that Mila Kunis is one, too, but I'm just all sorts of 'meh' about girlfriend. She just doesn't do it for me, though she is just lovely in scarlet, isn't she?
In any case, I just can't wait to see this movie. It's going to be awesome. … I think.

One Response to "Here's Another Trailer for 'Oz: The Great and Powerful'!"
I'm confused why one of the sisters has an English accent, one has an American accent and one has an affected Madonna accent. Don't they all live in Oz?!?
Sidenote…totally want to see this, despite accent stupidness.

Fredy Montero wasted little time keeping his recent hot streak going. The Seattle Sounders forward received a pass from Nate Jaqua inside the penalty area and fired a quick shot past the Herediano goalkeeper in the 3rd minute to grab an early 1-0 lead in their CONCACAF Champions League group stage match on Wednesday. It was the third straight game in which Montero has scored.
Montero appears to be in one of his goal-scoring runs once again. After going six games without a goal, Montero now has 10 goals across all competitions and his last three goals have come in the U.S. Open Cup, MLS play and CCL.
The Sounders put out a very strong lineup in their attempt to get out to a 3-0-0 start and put themselves in prime position to move onto the knockout stage. Among the regular starters for the Sounders to be in the lineup were Montero, Alvaro Fernandez, Lamar Neagle, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Kasey Keller.

Hi Jim ~~ What a great job you did on the studio apartment. Loved your pictures. We enjoyed looking at the Mt's. on the deck and from the room. The colors on the mountains were always changing. The sun shining and the clouds on the mountains were beautiful. I took a ton of photos. When I get them on the computer I will sent you some.
The location of your studio was perfect. Lahaina Shores is within walking distance of town and the ocean a few steps away Next door there are some good places to eat..
We saw Warren & Annabelle's Magic show. It was so funny. We also saw "Ulalena" play. It was Great!..
Hope sometime to be able to get back to Maui and if we do we want to stay in the same unit. You have a beautiful place there. If you ever get to KY let us know and we can meet and show you around our area. Thanks again. We had a great time.
Owners response: This is great! My objective is to provide an enjoyable vacation experience at good value for my guests. When I get a response such as this one from Ella and Jimmy, I feel like I've made new friends. That's surely the icing on the cake!

Would recommend Unit 624 at Lahaina Shores to any couple. The studio was tastefully decorated, well stocked, clean and the desk reception staff were friendly and helpful. Convenient location on the less busy end of Front Street, so easy to walk to shops, nice beach access for early morning beach walks, & convenient underground parking adjacent to the condo. Balcony was great for quiet morning sitting while having coffee and watching the shades of sunrise over the mountains.
Jim was helpful in providing lots of info about activities in the area, as well resources for more info. We attended the Ulalena performance which we thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys live musical theatre. He was also very prompt in responding to our inquiries.
Thanks, Jim, for a wonderful place to stay for our week-long vacation.
Recommended for: age 55+
Owners response: Shirley's review is much appreciated. Speaking of walking ~ it's only 3/10ths of a mile to Lahaina Harbor and the beginning of picturesque, historic Lahaina Town itself, Maui's storied shop-til-you-drop, gallery hopping, dining & partying mecca.

Review submitted: May 29, 2012 Date of arrival: April 19, 2012
It was a pleasure working with Jim. First of all, he doesn't require a deposit as compared to everyone else. (Editors note: it's actually $200.) He also allowed us early check-in.
The location is perfect. Walking distance to the shops, restaurants and all the happenings in Lahaina. It has its own beach which is calm and has warmer water compared to the other beaches. Also has a swimming pool and jacuzzi.
Jim's condo is on the sixth floor which provides you with a beautiful view of the mountains. Very tastefully furnished. Comparable to the 4 star hotels with plenty of room. Kitchen was stocked with all the utensils needed for preparing a meal. Also has beach towels, lawn chairs and even a boogie board.
Jim's unit is a great value. We paid a lower rate than all the other guests for a premier unit.

Loved this condo in Lahaina!! This location is perfect! You can walk to several restaurants.The complex is cozy and is right on the beach. Our unit faced the beautiful mountains and had some gorgeous rainbows! Don't miss Warren and Annabelle's Magic show in Lahaina.. it is AMAZING! Trilogy is the best snorkeling company. Download Maui Revealed app to your phone and it has everything you need to know to do in Maui! We loved Aloha Mixed Plate for local food and fantastic ocean view! We would walk down the beach to town and have breakfast at Cheeseburger In Paradise, great prices and ocean front! Aloha! :)

Hello Jim ~~ Thank you so much for all your advice on what to see & do in Maui. Lynda and I took in whale watching, that awesome production of Ulalena, and a trip down the road to Hana. We walked to town daily, sometimes just to watch the goings on and other times to shop till we dropped. We had a superb meal at Pacific O - yum! We sat on the lanai every morning admiring the beautiful view of the mountains while drinking our coffee and tea. The condo was super comfortable and very clean. Thank you for displaying your wonderful prints. I especially liked the four flowers over the table. I will be sure to contact you again next time I come to the Hawaiian Islands.

Hi Jim ~~ I realised the other day I never got round to saying thanks for renting your Lahaina condo out to us again and we had a great time. The view from the balcony really is amazing, much better than the ocean view ones - and lets face it you see the ocean every day on the beach!
It was also really nice to be able to walk into Lahaina at night without having to worry about parking, and the fact I went shopping almost everyday we were there it really helped being in walking distance! Hopefully we'll be back again sometime!

We walked into your condo and I must say that not only was it tastefully decorated, but refreshingly very clean as well. Just what we needed after a long day of travel.

Watch Ceremony and Banner Unveiling
Prior to Saturday's USC Upstate game, the FGCU returning players and coaches will participate in a watch ceremony and banner unveiling...the ceremony will recognize the team's 2008-2009 A-Sun Conference regular-season championship, the Eagles' first conference crown.
A-Sun Game of the Week
• The Atlantic Sun Conference Women's Basketball Game of the Week features a meeting between several Preseason All-Conference teammates as FGCU, led by Adrianne McNally and Chelsea Lyles, hosts USC Upstate and Chelsea McMillan.
• USC Upstate ranks second in offense in the A-Sun, averaging 73.3 points per game, while FGCU owns the stingiest defense, holding opponents to 61.1 points per game.
• Junior Chelsea McMillan paces the Upstate offense, averaging 13.8 points per game, the sixth-best mark in the league. Additionally, the forward grabs 9.9 rebounds per game, good for third in the A-Sun. This season, McMillan has double-doubles against North Greenville, at Virginia and at South Carolina State.
• Senior forward Adrianne McNally scored a game-high 21 points against No. 21 Michigan State on Sunday, the most points by any FGCU player ever versus a ranked opponent. McNally has already posted two 20-point performances, both in Preseason WNIT action at New Mexico, and on Sunday at Michigan State.
• Eglah Griffin shares the honor as the league's top 3-point shooter, connecting on 48.1-percent of her tries.
Hot Topics
• Through seven games, the Eagles are shooting .375 from the field, .372 from three-point land and .679 from the free-throw line…FGCU's opponents are shooting .401 overall, .337 from long range and .615 from the stripe…the Eagles average 15.6 assists per game to the opponents' 12.6.

• Since moving to Division I in 2007-08 FGCU has a 9-4 record in the month of December, which include key wins over UCF (twice), Memphis and Cornell.
You're in Good Hands with the trio from "The Mitten" (b.k.a. Michigan)
• Seniors Adrianne McNally (3.9 apg) and Brittany Brown (1.1 apg) and junior Shannon Murphy (3.7 apg) are top-5 on the team in assists. • McNally's seven assists against Tulsa (11/27/09) are a season-high.
• McNally and Murphy rank sixth and eighth respectively in assists in the Atlantic Sun. • McNally's 1.93 assist-to-turnover ratio ranks her second in the conference.
McNally Tracker
Adrianne McNally, who already is FGCU's leader in career points, field goals made, field goals attempted, free throws attempted, games played, games started, and minutes played, is looking to grab the top spot in several other FGCU all-time records:

Among the Nation's Best
FGCU's three-point prowess has the program's calling card from day one and the 2009-10 version of the Eagles have been no different. FGCU is among the nation's best in 3-pointers made per contest:
NCAA D-1 TEAMS - 3-Pointers Made Per Game (Through games 12/13/09)
1. Iowa St., 11
2. Morehead St., 10.7
3. Charleston So., 10.3
4. Fresno St., 10.2
6. Oregon, 9.4
7. Creighton, 8.9
8. Central Mich., 8.9
9. Mississippi, 8.6
*Single season record is held by the 2008 Villanova Wildcats (9.9 per game)
Last Time Out for the Eagles (at No. 21/24 Michigan State 12/13/09; L 97-71)
• Adrianne McNally scored a game-high 21 points to lead four players in double-figures for FGCU, but No. 21/24 Michigan State shot lights-out from the field and overwhelmed the Eagles, as the Spartans defeated the Blue and Green, 94-71, in front of 4,234 fans at the Breslin Center.
• FGCU was scoreless until 17:09 in the first half when a layup from McNally cut the Spartans lead to 13-2. The Blue and Green would remain in the single digits until another McNally bucket at 8:15 (36-10).
• FGCU fell behind by as many as 33 points in the second half before it began its comeback. The Eagles went on a 20-2 run that cut MSU's lead to 69-54 with just over ten minutes remaining thanks in part to 3-pointers from sophomore guards Eglah Griffin and Kelsey Jacobson.
• The matchup with Michigan State was the front-end of a home-and-home series between the Spartans and Eagles, with MSU coming to Alico Arena in 2011-12.
Yo Adrianne
Senior forward Adrianne McNally scored a game-high 21 points against No. 21 Michigan State on Sunday, the most points by any FGCU player ever versus a ranked opponent.
Grabbin' Boards and a Spot in the Record Book
Courtney Chihil's career-high 17 rebounds at Stetson (12/5/09) the second-most in a single game in school history. Chihil tied Robyn Swain and Andrea Clarke. Swain grabbed 17 boards on four occasions during her time as an Eagles and Clarke pulled down 17 rebounds on Nov. 19, 2004 against Puerto Rico Bayamon.
Swain still holds the FGCU record with 21 rebounds in a game, a record that has stood since 2003.
Road Warriors
16 of FGCU's 30 games this season will be played on the road. The Eagles faced New Mexico (25-11 last season), who reached the Elite 8 of the 2009 Postseason WNIT, and Georgia Tech (22-10 last season), who earned their third straight NCAA Tournament appearance in 08-09 and were ranked No. 19 in the Preseason AP Poll, as part of the Preseason WNIT to start the 2009-10 season.
Up Next For FGCU
• FGCU will then travel to Miami, Fla. to face the Golden Panthers of FIU on Tuesday Dec. 22 at 7:00 p.m.
• FGCU will host the Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman on Tuesday, Dec. 29 at 7:05 p.m.

Chavez Jr - Pulls a lot of dirty tricks, re hydrates a lot, has the WBC sucking his dick and is only there because of his fathers name.
Victor Ortiz - I actually didn't mind him at first, but realistically I don't like him inside and outside the ring for lack of heart, and sure people say you can't not have heart and be a boxer, but somehow Ortiz has pulled it off.
Margarito - Self explanatory, while I certainly don't like Cotto, no man deserves that.
Mayweather - In the ring I can't fault the guy, outta the ring he has a tendency to do stuff to annoy me.
Pac - Outta the ring when he doesn't speak up at times makes me go WTF dude as his fan.
Bradley - People can say what they like, and in the ring against 'Rocky' he displayed the heart of a lion, but I still don't like the dude bragging as if he beat Pac by a large margin and it was a piece of cake, while I want to see a rematch, I think his chin has been comprised Roy Jones Jr style. I hope am wrong.
Canelo - FUCK HIM, how can this motherfucker sleep at night I don't know, I wonder how can he look himself in the mirror and say I am the best 154lber when he's never fought one? I mean it's alright to do it out of confidence but he says it as if he's achieved something.
Shane Mosley - The PEDs son, the PEDs...
David The LieMaker Haye - Wasted money on his PPV with Wlad, I hope he chokes on the food the money buys him.
Tyson Fury - Mans a fool and has fought nobody of any real worth aside from Chisora and Johnson, probably came out with the best line of his career the other day "I hit him, he hits the floor, I hit New York"
Any Fighter Given A Gift - and then comes out all cocky insteading of shutting the fuck up or admitting it was a gift

This is what I used to eat on a typical day ...
For breakfast, cereal with non-fat milk. I preferred Honey Nut Cheerios, Puffins or Peace Cereal's Vanilla Almond Crunch. Every now and then I would throw on half of a sliced banana. You know, to give me a jump start on getting in my five servings of fruit and vegetables.
|I used to always start my day with cereal.
By 10am, I was usually famished. My typical morning snack: string cheese. And almonds. Many, many almonds. I had zero portion control. But it didn't matter because the almonds gave me protein and healthy fats, right? Hahaha!
Lunch was sometimes better. Sometimes. Salad with lots of veggies and protein, with olive oil, lemon and sunflower seeds. But that was on a good day. Most of the time, I went for a turkey sandwich. The sandwich consisted of one slice of whole grain bread (I tried to make sure the bread didn't surpass 140 calories), a couple of slices of deli turkey (at least I was buying the natural turkey!) and two wedges of Laughing Cow Cheese. Oh, and I cannot forgot the chips! Kettle Chips. Exactly 15 of them, because that it what the bag deemed to be a serving. For dessert, I usually had an apple. Unless there were low calorie ice cream or fruit bars in the freezer. In that case I would ditch the apple and go for the frozen treat.
My afternoon snack habits were hit or miss. If I had a work deadline, things often got crazy because I used the kitchen as a procrastination tool. Oh, I'll just have a few more chips. I haven't had enough calcium today ... that lowfat yogurt looks good. I need a cup of tea (two teaspoons of sugar won't hurt me). I better finish these blueberries before they get rotten. Peanut butter is good source of protein so I'll just eat it from the jar with a spoon. I might be exaggerating some, but you get the point. Non-deadline days were totally different, though. If I snacked at all, it was a couple of carrot sticks. It is probably worth mentioning that I always had a really hard time staying awake after lunch. Long naps were not uncommon.
If you can believe it, dinner was probably my worst meal of the day. Yep, worse than what I've already described. A couple of nights a week I did some serious cooking. I made stew or stuffed chicken breasts or something we called tuna rice muffins (essentially mini tuna casseroles baked in a muffin tin). I guess those nights weren't so bad. The other nights, though? They were pathetic. I made stir-fry a lot because it was quick and easy, but I usually picked out the meat and just ate the rice and vegetables. Or, I boiled some pasta and tossed it in olive oil, Parmesan cheese and maybe some frozen broccoli. Sometimes I made a Crockpot meal that consisted of chicken breasts and three varieties of Campbell's soup. And sometimes I skipped dinner altogether, because I was too tired/lazy/busy to cook. I always added up my calories and I usually counted fat grams. It's quite sad, really. I was depleted and deprived, and I didn't even know it. I thought I was doing the right thing because the Today Show told me I was doing the right thing. But in reality, I was way, way off.
I'm so relieved to have this chapter behind me, and even though I do have my 'off' days they never look anything like this. Ever. I mean, I would seriously rather fast for an entire weekend than eat Laughing Cow Cheese or pour Campbell's soup into my Crockpot. I love that I no longer need to count calories or fat grams, I love that I am finally giving my body real nourishment, I love that I can eat eggs and butter for breakfast at 8am and have plenty of energy to make it through a really tough workout four hours later. It's a really great feeling, and I'll never turn back.

Sale Preps For Golden Spikes Award Presentation
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Currently enjoying a successful start to his professional career, former FGCU baseball star Chris Sale (Lakeland, Fla./Lakeland HS) is one of five finalists for the 2010 USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award (GSA) that will be presented on Tuesday, July 13 at All-Star FanFest in Anaheim as part of a production by MLB and MLBAM.
Originally scheduled to be presented and shown live on GoldenSpikesAward.com and MLB.com, the 2010 GSA will be handed out at 2:30 P.M. ET. Video of the awards show won't be available until 5 p.m. ET.
Joining Sale as finalists for the GSA are Chris Duffy, IF/OF, Central Florida; Yasmani Grandal, C, Miami (Fla.); Bryce Harper, C/IF/OF, Southern Nevada; and Drew Pomeranz, LHP, Mississippi.
Fans can learn more about the award by visiting GoldenSpikesAward.com, powered by MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM), the interactive media and Internet company of Major League Baseball (MLB). This year will mark the 33rd consecutive year that the Golden Spikes Award has been presented to the nation's premier amateur baseball player.
Sale, Collegiate Baseball's National Player of the Year, the Atlantic Sun Conference Pitcher of the Year, a finalist for the College Baseball Foundation's Pitcher of the Year award, and a finalist for the 2010 USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award (GSA), has been named an All-American by five different outlets (Ping!Baseball, Louisville Slugger, Yahoo! Sports, Baseball America, ABCA/Rawlings).
The 21-year-old produced amazing numbers in 2010 to help the Eagles clinch their third consecutive Atlantic Sun regular season title. Sale finished his junior season with an 11-0 record, two saves and a 2.01 ERA in 17 appearances. He also racked up 146 strikeouts with just 14 walks for a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 10.4-to-1 for the year.
Taken with the 13th overall pick in the 2010 MLB First-Year Draft by the Chicago White Sox, Sale's efficiency on the mound has translated from the collegiate ranks to Winston-Salem early on. Through his first three relief appearances, Sale hasn't allowed a run or a hit over three innings while striking out three. Sale has retired nine of the 10 batters he's faced, including the last eight in a row.

News Release
Sergeant Michael B. Webb
Public Affairs Branch (502) 782-1780
Nineteen Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (August 7 through August 13)
Date of News Release: 08/14/2006
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 19 people died in 19 separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Aug. 7, 2006, through Sunday, August 13, 2006.
Preliminary data indicates that alcohol was a factor in three of the crashes. Sixteen of the crashes involved motor vehicles and three involved motorcycles. Ten of the 16 motor vehicle victims were not wearing seat belts and the seatbelt status of one of the victims is unknown. Two of the three motorcycle victims were not wearing helmets.
Two motor vehicle crashes occurred in Floyd County and two in Laurel County. The remaining 12 motor vehicle crashes occurred in Boone, Campbell, Daviess, Estill, Garrard, Jefferson, Jessamine, Lincoln, McCracken, McCreary, Powell and Rockcastle counties. Two motorcycle crashes occurred in Madison County and one in Ballard County.
Through August 13, 2006, a total of 538 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways. This is 26 fewer than those reported for this time period in 2005. Of the 538 fatalities, 29 were pedestrians and 54 were motorcyclists, 33 of whom were not wearing helmets. There were six ATV crash victims, none of whom were wearing helmets. There was one bicycle victim. Of the 448 motor vehicle fatalities, 285 victims were not wearing seatbelts and the seatbelt status of 32 of the victims is not known.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

I am at the IBM Digital Experience conference for the first time. Of course, that leads me to doing the compare and contrast with the other major IBM event I have attended, IBM Connect/Lotusphere. About 700 people here, and 85% of the sessions are technical. And from what I have seen, there is a great community of partners and customers here. I have spent most of my time in the business / customer story sessions. All of them have been pretty good. One item I wanted to really highlight was the

As you probably guessed, I turn 40 today. Not sure if I should look at this as an accomplishment or milestone or a warning - but it's a good day. No longer 'a kid' - but still 'the kid' to many. With June being such a rough month for me, and this June being even harder, this July is special. That number '40' I was never sure I would make. But at 40, I find contentment with who I am. I have a great family, especially those closest. Wonderful friends. Awesome coworkers. I am part of man

In my world, June has been renamed Suckuary. With the anniversary of my father's death, Father's Day, his birthday - it's a hard month. My Uncle (father's brother) had the same heart attack as my father this month. Luckily, he survived and is on the mend. Add in end of quarter/end of year for a lot of companies, licensing deals that barely closed, and a bunch of other personal stuff. Damn. I am glad June is done. July is a brighter month. Mom's birthday. My Birthday. Holiday. Vacation. and

Today is Memorial Day in the states, the day we remember and honor all of those that have fought and served this country in our military. I thought I would share a few stories of my grandfather. John "Jack" William Head was a veteran of World War 2. A marine who fought in the battle for the Pacific. He was on Guam. He was part of the 3rd marine Division assault. Unfortunately the Marines were dropped on a beach at surrounded by a high ridge. Japanese soldiers opened fire immediately and th

Today the news tells us that one of the Lotus/XPages community has let us, much to early. Tim Tripcony was one of the good guys. No,Tim was one of the best guys. Besides being smart and talented, Tim was a gentle soul who loved to share knowledge. I remember many chats with Tim talking about XPages, something new he was working on, or music. I will always remember seeing Tim at the first MWLUG in Chicago - just after he cut his long hair. I didn't recognize him at first. We laughed at my confus

Jailers let Hendrix out of his cell to use the phone and he escaped through the fire bay, according to police department Investigator Matt Dozier. Officers pursued Hendrix but eventually lost him in the woods on the south side of Highway 118.
Dozier said that Hendrix has an extensive criminal past, but the department does not consider him a danger to the public.
"We are currently using different resources to try to bring him back into custody," Dozier said.
Anyone with information regarding Hendrix's whereabouts is asked to call Carbon Hill Police at 924-4411.
Letting inmates out of their cells has been a safety concern for Police Chief Heath Allred, leading him to ask the council to a approve a system to put phones in each cell at the jail.
The council approved the measure and the installation is in progress, but this escape underscores the reason for the system.
"This is exactly why we needed this system," Mayor Chris Hart said. "The inmates can use the phones and it doesn't put anyone in danger."
Similar phone systems are already installed in Parrish. The phone system generates revenue for the city and can be shut off by jail officials whenever needed.
