Google Android
Without doubt the most exciting development in the mobile phones industry since the iPhone is Android, the new mobile operating system being developed by Google.
Android is built on the open Linux Kernel and utilizes a custom virtual machine that has been designed to optimize memory and hardware resources. Developers have been offered a $10 million reward for developing amazing and innovative mobile applications for the platform.
The Android OS will be available on several different handsets which will be manufactured by partners such as Motorola, HTC, Samsung, and LG – all capable of producing some stunning phones.
As the brains behind the Open Handset Alliance Google says they are "committed to commercially deploy handsets and services using the Android Platform in the second half of 2008″.
Deeda Pi Phone
Although not very well known the deeda Device family look like they could really succeed when commercially available. The three devices, Kiku, Menx and Pi, are all Linux based touch screen devices and offer users the freedom to create new applications, install third-party programs, and customize the interfaces as much as they want.
The Pi phone comes with 3.6″ High Resolution Screen, WiFi, 3G Internet and a 5.0 Mega pixel camera. A promotional video of this handset is available showing some very impressive features and an iPhone style interface.
OpenMoko is a Linux based open source mobile application development platform. Operators and developers have full access to OpenMoko source and they can build innovative applications on top of a basic phone platform.
Unlike most other Linux based phones the OpenMoko isn't just vapour ware. Visit the shop and you can buy one today for $300.
Currently the phone is only intended for developers but a consumer orientated device is being manufactured for launch next year. The FIC's Neo1973 smartphone, which utilizes the full OpenMoko platform will be available in January 2008.
Interestingly Trolltech, manufacturer of the Linux based Qtopia Greenphone, has sold out of Greenphones and is now directing customers to the OpenMoko website instead.
"Please note: Trolltech has sold out of Qtopia Greenphones and will not be producing more. To purchase phone hardware for Qtopia development, Trolltech suggests Open Moko's Neo 1973."

As Magic Johnson pulled a little blue Dodger's cap over Zack Greinke's brittle smile... the TV flickered for a moment in that dim bar in Texas, Nolan felt the fight leave his spine for a moment on that wobbly barstool as a gust of wind rattled the windows and a tumbleweed bounced off a row of dirty beat down 150's.
Nolan's eyes drifted into right field again, an outstretched glove fumbling for a moment, the ball, the wall and just then...
a gunshot.
and it was over.
A window shattered in Texas tonight.
Through the guns smoke, Arturo emerges
Our Vaquero.
No matter what your opinion of Josh Hamilton, the MVP, the man, the athlete, the human being; Arte Moreno just green lighted the best possible free agent bat on the market for our team to win a championship now, immediately. A left handed MVP caliber offensive dynamo that runs on high octane. You would think the challenge of batting cleanup in the perennial great batting order of Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, would bring out the best in Josh Hamilton, the drug of competition. He will not be alone in the league of extraordinary gentlemen... this team bristles with them now.
For those who cry out for starting pitching, the Hamilton signing opens the door to a spectrum of trade opportunities for Dipoto to sculpt and craft a better rotation with in the free agent/trade landscape of the next 3 months.
If this is a bad signing, then why am I laughing with an insane Herman Munster wheezingly insane kind of glee, am I alone in this madness?
Trout, Pujols, Hamilton, Trumbo, Morales, as it stands now, that has to make most opposing pitchers pucker up on the mound. That is must see, feasting on the mistake, our own personal Mount Mashmore, uncharted Angels space time continuum bending stuff. Explore that Dipoto! Feast on that possibility, let the league settle in on that for a moment, pondering how to pitch around that, with Aybar bunting, and Kendrick slapping, and Ianetta grinding, and (breathaspo!), TROUT!

The volcano Etna has been on Sicily for more than a million years, longer than human beings have inhabited the Mediterranean. It has been erupting nearly continuously throughout 3500 years of recorded history, since 1500 BCE, and doubtless for long before that.
Etna has had hundreds of recorded major eruptions; another began with the eruptions of spring 2001. And like the hundreds of times before, the local people responded in the ways they always have. But modern technologies have allowed them to respond a bit more effectively, and with a bit less resignation, than before.
Etna Then and Now
Etna is such an important volcano that the ancients made it the home of Vulcan, blacksmith to the gods. Like the personality of Vulcan himself, Etna is always unpredictable, often gloomy and irritated, sometimes dangerously angry, even on rare occasions playful. All of the seafaring peoples of the ancient Mediterranean knew Etna as a steady beacon and landmark, looming near the strategic Strait of Messina at Sicily's eastern tip.
People have always lived near Etna, even upon its sides. The same is true with volcanoes around the world. After all, volcanic ash weathers into rich soil, and the risk of injury or death from an eruption is pretty small. On many volcanoes, you can live your whole life without witnessing an eruption—or if there is one, it won't destroy your part of the mountainside. That's the kind of risk we all accept about the place we live, whether it's prone to earthquakes, hurricanes, sinkholes, or landslides.
The 2001 eruption of Etna made news not only because it was a great spectacle, but because there was human drama as well. The lava engulfed an important skiing and tourism center on the mountain, the Rifugio Sapienza. Nowadays we don't just send prayers to our current gods, as the ancients did—although the archbishop of Sicily did just that in 2001. Today the Italian authorities send bulldozers to throw up barriers to the lava.
Acting Against Volcanoes
We've tried other things against volcanoes, too, such as military bombing to divert lava flows. When a volcano threatened the Icelandic town of Westmanneyjar in 1983, the main tactic was spraying the lava with seawater to freeze it solid.
But the first successful defense against a volcano was here in Catania, the city of half a million at Etna's foot. In 1669, the Monti Rossi vent on Etna's southern flank began pouring out a river of lava uphill from Catania. The city's existing walls held back the flood for a week. But after part of the wall gave way, the authorities built new walls in the city streets that were effective against the lava's advance.
Another tactic tried in 1669 was to break open the roof and sides of the lava tube feeding the flow. It was hoped that this would cool and freeze the molten rock, as well as directing part of the flow elsewhere. The nearby town of Paternò felt so threatened by this measure, it sent out an armed force to stop the work crews.
As a result, laws were enacted to forbid tampering with lava flows. These remained in effect until 1983, when more modern techniques were allowed. So the bulldozers of today are still an experimental technology when it comes to fighting eternal Etna.
Another experimental technology was tried at Etna in 2009: gas sampling by remote-controlled helicopter. The Scots geologist whose brainstorm that was won a Rolex Award for Enterprise in 2008. Remote-observation techniques like this promise to spare volcanologists from some of the danger inherent in their work while helping in eruption forecasts.
PS: The Etna eruption, among other things, produced a small quantity of Pele's hair. This fine-fibered volcanic glass is more familiar from Hawaii, where the liquid basaltic lava is readily blown in the wind.

Positive: 14 out of 18
Mixed: 4 out of 18

Apr 15, 2013Minor quibbles aside (Set Me Free is a little over-wrought and clichéd), True Romance is a simply stunning record.
Apr 25, 2013Like 90s pop stars turned 10s pop sophisticates Justin Timberlake and Beyoncé, Charli XCX stamps her personality across the entire project, and True Romance suggests she'll be worth following for a while.
Apr 17, 2013Charli XCX isn't smashing any glass ceilings in pop; she's perfectly roughing up the edges of a long-standing mold.
Apr 16, 2013True Romance is the pop-album equivalent of a wicked Tumblr.
Apr 17, 2013She's the fun pop you don't have to be embarrassed about listening to, and she's definitely worth focusing your attention.
Apr 16, 2013True Romance may not match Aitchison's high ambitions for her debut, but it's a hell of a start.
Apr 12, 2013While a few slivers of genuine spontaneity can be found throughout True Romance, particularly in the watery K-pop-esque opus "Nuclear Seasons," the sum as a whole feels rather forced.
Score distribution:
Positive: 8 out of 9
Mixed: 1 out of 9
Negative: 0 out of 9
May 12, 2013Charli XCX is one of the best people ever. Her music is very amazing. I didn't know what to expect and wasn't sure if it was going to be good, but it was AMAZING. This is really her type of music. I can't think of any other type of music that she could sing except for this. It's really amazing. I adore You (Ha Ha Ha). I hope she makes more music because she is amazing!… Expand
Aug 30, 2013First off, I never heard of Charli XCX, I saw that she was releasing a album on iTunes and I was curious to see what the young woman could give me. Now some people may know who XCX is as she has been doing mix tapes and EP's ever since her late teens, now in her early twenties, she is now ready to show off her talent to the mainstream. And I'm happy to report that at first you'll feel guilty, "True Romance" offers many great songs for the rest of the year with unique synth beats and amazing production making XCX's debut one of the best I've heard this year. The songwriting is excellent with Relatable lyrics about the youth, love, and the problems we face. It also helps thanks to XCX's vocals which she perfectly hits the tone the album is going for as it sounds dream like while also sound real enough. The best thing about "True Romance" is that it makes Synth pop sound cool again by not making it so mainstream. XCX use's beats, sounds, and Rhythms that sound like Pop back in the Late '80s or early '90s. It's also tightly paced and for some listeners you may get sucked into the world that XCX has created here. There are very few problems, but If I had to say some, I would have to say that it gets a little repetitive towards the end with all the sounds being heard many times you might get bored as the album's style isn't always consistent. Also like I said at the beginning not too many people will be drawn into "True Romance" as personally it isn't meant for my demographic, but I'm glad i was curious to listen to this. Charli XCX has a great future ahead of her with "True Romance" being her debut album, with Great Vocals, Interesting Social Messages, and just amazing music. To speak to all the people out there, this is a pop album you'll actually enjoy.… Expand
Apr 17, 2013A lot of hype, for me, going into this...
I've been waiting well over a year now for this album, and I was sure that there was no way it was going to live up to the hype that I had built up for it in myself.
Am I disappointed that I already knew 5 songs on it? Maybe a little bit, but it would have only mattered if the other 8 songs weren't worthwhile, but they WERE.
She's a wonderful mixture of the persona of Ke$ha, the lyrics of Lily Allen and the music of Purity Ring. I really couldn't ask for more.
Of the songs we already had, "Nuclear Seasons" is certainly her best song. It may still be the best thing she's ever done, but wow, "Lock You Up" is a killer little 80s number. I can't say no to that. Other tracks worth note: "You (Ha Ha Ha), "Stay Away", What I Like, and "You're the One"
In short, it's going to take a lot for her to ever do anything wrong in my eyes, every single thing she's released (officially...the mix tapes are another story) has been at least a 7 or higher for me (on a 10 point scale). In total, the album is certainly an easy 4.5
Proud of her, it's great to see others enjoying her music as well. You follow an artist who hasn't released anything yet, and you have to get a little nervous, wondering how other people are going to feel as well, with little to see reactions in the meanwhile (certainly not saying I'm the only one who was aware of her before now, not at all). So, this is a great day in music for me!… Expand
Jul 18, 2014Charli XCX eventually received mainstream audience's attention with her collaborations on Swedish electro queens Icona Pop's 2012 sleeper hit "I Love It" and Australian rapper Iggy Azalea's currently inescapable, 7-week number-one "Fancy". But the Brit diva's 2013 debut studio album True Romance -- it's technically her second studio album, considering her 2008 one never saw an official release -- has to be the destination to visit if anybody's ever curious as to what she's capable of.
The deliciously dark Eurythmics inspired opener "Nuclear Seasons", which includes haunting vocal layers later found on "Grins", already allows the listener to take off their chains held down by expectations of any electropop album sang by somebody so unapologetically youthful as Charlie XCX and explore the album on their own terms. The combination of Myspace era emo, sappy songwriting ("Why you gotta go to sleep/Don't go to sleep/Let's go out"), and indietronica with a touch of darkwave and witch house might mislead skeptics into believing it's all about fun, games, and love, and guess what? It is. But it's the kind of self-conscious silliness that mainstream pop should be about. The sincerity in her sassy, party girl attitude certainly combats that of Kesha and her Dr. Luke produced safety sass.… Expand
May 12, 2014A fun debut album from Charli XCX that features some amazing bangers but unfortunately seems to have been stuck in release date limbo a bit too long and rather than being cutting edge comes across slightly dated.… Expand
Nov 27, 2013This is a very good album, from its amazing imagery provoking lyrics and electronic drums to its catchy and memorable yet unique melodies. However while some of the tracks are quite boring, the ones that are good are so good you will not forget them.… Expand
Apr 23, 2013Didn't know quite what to expect from this album and was pleasantly surprised. There's quite a mixture of different types of electronica. From the kooky Nuclear Seasons and Set Me Free to the laid back What I Like and the 80's influenced Lock You Up, there's something here for every type of electronic fan. Charli has a lot of talent and control over her work for one so young, she just needs to push it that bit further.… Expand

Help Send The Eagles Off To NCAA First Round Game In Style!
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Fans who are making the trip to Tallahassee to be part of FGCU's March Madness run can help send the Eagles (29-2) off in style on Sunday afternoon when the team departs for its first round showdown against No. 5 seed St. Bonaventure (29-3).
The team will be loading the bus for the Donald L. Tucker Center at 12:30 p.m. from its tournament headquarters at the Hampton Inn & Suites located at 3388 Lonnbladh Rd, Tallahassee, Fla. The hotel is on the corner of I-10 and Thomasville Rd. FGCU's pep band and cheerleaders will lead the charge as the Green and Blue look for the school's first ever D-1 NCAA Tournament win.
Sunday's game can be seen live on ESPN2 or ESPN3.com with Justin Kutcher (P-B-P) and Nell Fortner (Analyst) on the call. The game will be shown in its entirety in Southwest Florida and Western New York markets, and on ESPN3.com. Live audio will also be available on www.FGCUATHLETICS.com and ESPN 770AM, as voice of the Eagles Tom James (P-B-P) and Peter Longergan (Analyst) will call all the action.
No. 12 seed FGCU will be making its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in its first-year of eligibility after going a perfect 18-0 in the Atlantic Sun regular season and winning the conference postseason tournament with a convincing 67-39 win over 20-game winner Stetson.
With a program Division I record 29 wins already in hand, FGCU owns of the nation's third longest winning streak (21) entering the tournament, sitting behind Baylor (34) and Stanford (28). The Eagles also have the fifth best winning percentage (.935) in Division I. Among FGCU's record 29 wins, is a 59-58 victory on Nov. 19, 2011 over Michigan State, who earned a No. 10 seed in the Raleigh Region.
The matchup pins two of the eight teams in Division I that finished with perfect regular season conference records. FGCU 18-0 conference mark was just the third-ever unblemished season in A-Sun history while the Bonnies posted a 14-0 record in the A-10.
The FGCU-St. Bonaventure winner will advance to the second round to face the winner of No. 4 seed Georgia (22-8) and No. 13 seed Marist (25-7) on Tuesday, March 20 (7 p.m.) at the Tucker Center.

Asked this week to recall his most memorable North Carolina vs. N.C. State game, former Tar Heel star Phil Ford said there were too many to single out just one.
"It's hard to pick one. We had some great games. We beat them twice in the ACC Tournament," Ford said.
One of those two ACC Tournament wins was among the most significant in league history.
It was the 1974-75 ACC title game, Saturday March 8 in Greensboro Coliseum.
A 70-66 UNC win was a crowning moment in Ford's college career. but more importantly it was also the final game of David Thompson's incredible three-year varsity career for the Wolfpack.
Ford, then a freshman from Rocky Mount, had idolized Thompson just as Thompson had once dreamed of being an ACC player in the mold of Carolina's Charles Scott and scores of young guards would yearn to be the next Ford.
One year earlier almost to the day – March 9, 1974 – Thompson and teammate Tommy Burleson had led the Wolfpack to a 103-100 overtime ACC title win over Maryland in the same Greensboro Coliseum.
Almost 40 years later, the 1974 game still is widely rated as the best game in college basketball history.
The 1975 title game had much the same tension.
UNC, seeded second, had opened the tournament with an amazing 101-100 overtime win over 7th-seeded Wake Forest – a game in which Ford scored 25 points, six fewer than teammate Walter Davis.
The Wolfpack was seeded fourth although its national ranking was 6th. Maryland, 10-2 and ranked fourth nationally, won the regular-season race with the 8th-ranked Tar Heels, unranked Clemson and the Wolfpack all tied for second at 8-4.
In a seven-team conference at the time only Virginia (12-13, 4-8) finished the season under .500.
In Friday night's semifinals, Thompson scored 30 points as the Wolfpack took out Maryland. Thompson had opened the event with 38 points in a 91-85 win over Virginia.
Ford then poured in 29 points as UNC won again in overtime – 76-71 over Clemson – to set up a fourth meeting against the Pack.
UNC had lost two of the previous three – 82-67 on Jan. 4 in Greensboro's Big Four Tournament and 88-85 in Raleigh on Jan. 18. The Heels had won 76-74 in Chapel Hill on Feb. 25.
As a senior at Rocky Mount High, Ford picked UNC over the Wolfpack, just as Thompson went with State over UNC (and Duke) four years earlier as a senior at Shelby Crest.
"When I was in high school, Carolina-State was 'The Game,' " Ford said.
"Now the Duke-Carolina game is always publicized, but growing up in this state, State had had DT, Monte (Towe), Burl (Burleson) ... it was much more about Carolina-State. When I was playing, you'd hear about it from your friends, family. It was always The Game. It lost some of that intensity, but it's still fun. Reynolds was a tough place to play. I remember that wolf would get to howling ..."
Entering the '75 ACC title game, Thompson, Towe, Mo Rivers and Phil Spence had an 8-1 career series lead against the Heels. Burleson graduated after the '74 NCAA title run and was an NBA rookie in Seattle in '75.
Outside Greensboro Coliseum, there were hundreds of fans begging to buy tickets at outrageous scalping prices. A guy offered $300 for my press pass. When I said no, he countered with $400, then $500 and finally walked away saying, "That's it then. Five hundred is all I've got on me."
Inside, the building was so packed and hot that Thompson had severe leg cramps and eventually had to go to the locker room in the second half. He'd had the same problem in the semifinals against Maryland, but came back and dominated the game.
But later, Thompson said his "legs were gone" and the Wolfpack couldn't contain Ford (24 points). Thompson finished with 16 points and teammate Kenny Carr had 16 points and 14 rebounds.
"If the refs call hand-checking, no one can stop Phil. He's too quick," UNC coach Dean Smith said.
The ACC's lone automatic NCAA bid went to UNC as the league champion. Maryland got an at-large bid in the 32-team field, but leagues were limited to no more than two bids and most only got one.
The Pack was invited to the NIT but declined – in part because coach Norm Sloan asked his team to vote immediately after the disappointing loss.
So the Thompson collegiate saga ended right there, stopped by the freshman Ford and a UNC program that sensed new hope.
Thompson played on teams that went 27-0, 30-1 and 22-6. Six of the seven losses were against teams ranked no lower than 16th nationally.
The atmosphere in PNC Arena for Saturday's first meeting of 2012-13 won't the be same as it was that night in Greensboro. But Ford knows it'll be a special night for both teams.
"Until you experience it, it's hard to explain," Ford said. "You can practice, and both teams practice hard to try to prepare, but you have to experience it … it's going to be a crazy atmosphere on Saturday. State's having a good year. They've become the hunted. The State fans are chomping at the bit for this."

This RTS challenges you to a race to acquire energy and create a new home for yourself in a newly discovered galaxy. Featuring strategic terraforming to acquire resources, the game lets you manipulate the landscape to extract energy, expand your base, increase covered territory and limit your opponents' options. In turn, energy extraction provides power to units, buildings and protective force shields, making energy management and environmental awareness the key components to successful gameplay.
In addition, Perimeter's use of a feature called nanomorph technology allows units to be transformed into different strategic elements directly on the battlefield. Teamed with a wealth of missions, structure types, maps and factions, Perimeter delivers unparalleled tactical opportunities ready for adaptation in any gameplay situation.
Multiplayer notice: The game's official multiplayer servers have been taken offline and the only multiplayer option available is LAN.
Age requirements: ESRB Rating: EVERYONE with Fantasy Violence. PEGI Rating: 7+ with Fear, Violence.

I must admit I had high expectations of this game when I first approached it. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest! The plot shows us the journey of a group of Earthling refugees looking for a new home, traveling through dimensions formed with thought and imagination and fending off the Scourge – monsters born out of human nightmares. Three factions have formed among themread more over the centuries: the Exodus - the original refugees, led by the mystical Spirits, looking for a new world to settle, the Harckback, a faction among the Exodus that wants to return to Earth and the Empire – a totalitarian nation seeking to obtain absolute dominion over Sponge-space. While playing the main campaign we will get a chance to lead every faction, learning their motives and philosophy in the process.
From the game plays perspective, Perimeter offers a classic approach to the RTS genre with a couple of innovations. The main resource is terraformed terrain and the energy being drawn from it with special Cores. You can consider the three main units you can build as an additional resource – you can reshape these into more advanced vehicles (this is explained by nanotechnology story-wise). To function, every building needs even terrain and energy, which is also drained by production and research. The Factions, similar to the ones in Dune 2, differ from on another by having two special buildings and three units. The research tree is clear and simple. Another innovation, apart from the terraforming I mentioned earlier, is an impenetrable force field, or Perimeter, which can be generated by Cores, but at a cost of great energy consumption. Cores form energy lattices around which the game's entire strategy is based – you can take control of enemy Cores or destroy them, thus disconnecting vital structures.
Playing Perimeter is very pleasant. A very easy to comprehend game play, beautiful effects during battle and using energy, levels designed with an artist's touch and the game's plot guarantee to suck you in for many long hours. The game is quite difficult and time-consuming, which could be considered a flaw, as some missions have us slowly, inch by inch, take over enemy terrain or defend ourselves for a long time until we are prepared to counterattack.
In conclusion, I would recommend this game to all RTS lovers and to fans of hard Sci-Fi with a hint of mysticism.

This game is a lot of fun, and has been keeping me up late at night. Initially I wasn't particularly impressed. The story was interesting but I felt there was something lacking in the style of the units and the feel of the combat (indeed I still think it is a bit weird...). I gave it a chance though, and my opinion changed after just a few levels. Because Perimeter provides somethingread more truly different - a hardcore RTS in which games are won and lost by clever placement of structures. Here your units are very much secondary to your base. This is not the only change you can expect if you consider yourself an RTS fan - this is a big game with a lot to learn. The sheer number of new gameplay mechanics compared to traditional RTS games means you are still learning new techniques 10 levels in.
If you are a fan of god games then you'll have a lot of fun building the biggest and best base possible (and taking over enemy bases!). This together with the diverse strategies, compelling storyline, and the need to beat the next level is keeping me coming back for more. The game is complicated, and at times quite hard. I've found myself searching the web for tips and turning the difficulty down to "easy", but then I was expecting another "C&C". After I got used to it... well, I was *still* searching the web for tips, but having a lot more fun! I haven't finished the game yet but I've seen enough to review it and recommend it to other GOG members. Yes, you guessed, I am stuck on a level and don't know what to do next... I'll sleep on it, and beat it tomorrow...!

Perimeter from the Russian company KD-labs is one of those special games that crops up every now and then, It may not be a perfect polished big brand name game from a huge company such as Blizzard. But its heart is definitely in the right place and it does its best to shatter the cliche of all RTS games since command and conquer.
The story is truely a unique experience, that willread more capture your mind and imagination in its grip, showing you a high level of orgininality that is unexpected in such games. The plot following various factions of humans and spirits living in massive flying forts that resemble something like cathedrals as they journey through interconnected realities to try and find their own paradise. Yet everywhere they set foot the Scourge attacks. Literally growing out of the ground like a plague of nightmares and hell bent on removing both from the world they currently inhabit. The only choice to flee to the next dimension and try to find that fabled paradise where the scourge do not exist.
The game breaks all traditional molds. There is no gold or wood to harvest, no set resource you have to mine. Instead you depend on terra forming the earth and building energy spires to suck the energy from it.
The more land you hold the more energy you can generate, which might not sound too diffrent, but in the game it changes everything. Instead of fighting over small points of the map to gain an advantage. The entire battlefield is your resource. Which can really affect the game play. Other features such as your units, which arn't set in little specialized roles and can be nano morphed into any other unit in the game allow for counter attacking and changing stratagy when fighting opponent armies on the fly. And being able to tap into your opponents energy network and steal it and their structures truely makes for a new and amazing experience.
This game is definitely worth the time of anyone who enjoys RTS games, it can be a little punishing in places. And the story a little fragmented, although easy to follow once you realize how it's being told.
But the rest of the games good points massively out weigh these minor and overcomable details
The only problem I had with this game is that it does not get along with duel cores, the game will run at double the speed if you have a duel core system, which most people probably do these days. This however is easily fixed in a matter of seconds. Simply press Alt + Ctrl + Delete. Go to the processes tab, Right click perimeter.exe, click set affinity and than un select the second core. It should be called CPU 1.
Then hit okay, the game will now run perfectly .

A University of Florida football player has been arrested for the second time in a month.
Antonio Morrison, 19, the Gators' middle linebacker was arrested Saturday for allegedly barking at a police dog.
The dog was inside a police cruiser. The officer arrested the 19-year-old for interfering with a police K9.
The charge is a misdemeanor. However, he was arrested in June after police say he punched a bouncer at a Gainesville nightclub.
Gators' head coach Will Muschamp said Morrison will be suspended for at least two games.

Scientists Hofmann and Mopper Elected AGU Fellows
Two Old Dominion scientists have been elected Fellows of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), an honor bestowed each year upon no more than 0.1 percent of the union's international membership of some 62,000.
Eileen Hofmann, professor of ocean, earth and atmospheric sciences and a researcher with ODU's Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography (CCPO), and Kenneth Mopper, professor of chemistry and biochemistry, were elected to the 2013 class of Fellows by a selection committee that received 103 nominations for final consideration. Sixty-two Fellows were chosen.
ODU was one of only five universities with two or more faculty members elected.
"We are proud of the accomplishments of these two ODU scientists and of their recognition by the American Geophysical Union," said Chris Platsoucas, dean of the College of Sciences. "Only a very small percentage of members of professional organizations are chosen to be Fellows, so this is a high honor."
Hofmann, who received a Ph.D. in physical oceanography from North Carolina State University, was the 1996 recipient of ODU's annual Research Award and the 2011 recipient of the College of Science's Distinguished Research Award. She has been involved in numerous projects that explore the relationship between physical ocean characteristics-such as currents or water temperature-and marine life. This has thrust her into leading roles in oceanographic initiatives worldwide, some of which coordinate research focused on global warming and climate change.
She has been recognized with research grants and research appointments for her work on coupled physical-biological models, and she has built a special focus on Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Her research interests cover a variety of topics, which range from mathematical modeling of marine ecosystems to descriptive physical oceanography.
For the 15 years ending in 2008, Hofmann was involved with the Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) program, which studied global-change issues related to the marine food web, and served as chair of the Southern Ocean GLOBEC Program. More recently, she has served as chair of the Integrated Marine Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Research Program of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program.
Her research interests, in addition to physical-biological interactions, include climate control of diseases of marine shellfish. At ODU's CCPO, she recently was involved in several projects with global-change emphasis. One was a $1 million National Science Foundation project that took an exhaustive look at one scenario posed by global warming. The study, which involved not only oceanographers and biologists, but also experts in social behavior, politics and economics, focused on the surf clam fisheries on the upper East Coast of the United States, and how global warming could change the lives of the people who have an interest in our ability to bring these bivalves to market.
Hofmann has served on several National Research Council committees, the most recent being the Polar Research Board. She currently serves on the editorial boards for the Journal of Marine Research and Antarctic Science, and is co-editor in chief for the Journal of Marine Systems. She co-edited the book "Foundations for Ecological Research West of the Antarctic Peninsula," which is part of the AGU Antarctic Research Series.
Mopper, whose Ph.D. in chemical oceanography is from MIT's Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, joined ODU in 2001 as an expert in analytical and environmental chemistry. In addition to being a professor of chemistry and biochemistry, he is an adjunct professor of ocean, earth and atmospheric sciences.
Over the past four decades, Mopper has become well known in his field for developing innovative techniques for the analysis of biologically important organic compounds, dissolved organic carbon and photochemically formed chemical species in natural waters. Wrote one NOAA scientist in nominating Mopper for AGU Fellow: "Many of these (innovations) had a transformative influence on our understanding of the processes that regulate the production, cycling and degradation of organic compounds in the sea and fresh waters."
One of his innovations is credited with streamlining and greatly improving shipboard analysis of trace organics in seawater. (Water samples from the ocean present analytic challenges due to the water's low analyte concentrations and high salt content.) This allowed the conduct of at-sea experiments and helped guide at-sea sampling and analytical strategies that led to important biogeochemical discoveries.
Early in Mopper's career he developed a method that enabled scientists to make the first shipboard measurements of dissolved amino acids in seawater and do the first real-time analyses of spatial and temporal variations in these compounds in the water column. To date, the pioneering paper he co-authored describing this method has been cited 1,558 times.
Of his 100 peer-reviewed papers, 47 percent have been highly cited, six of them more than 300 times.
Mopper received the Antarctic Service Medal for Scientific Achievement in 1995 from the National Science Foundation and the Department of the Navy. The Ray Lankester Investigatorship Award was given to him in 1999 by the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom.

Is Oscar Putting Too much Pressure of Canelo?

It seems everyday or even every second Oscar is telling anyone who will listen (which is everyone), that his Rooster is going to knock the shit out of Mayweather and the fight will not see round 9. Oscar is guaranteeing a Saul victory. Oscar is talking a lot this fight, more than any other fighter Mayweather has gone up against. He is now even claiming that he really beat Mayweather (coke is a hellva drug). It just seems De La Hoya is not just promoting this fight but he really is behind the notion that Canelo can truly KO Mayweather. he has already talked about a rematch when Canelo wins. Is Oscar making Saul's job that much harder?Is he adding more pressure by all his talk about the fight not going past the 9th round? If I was Oscar, one I would never dressed in fishnets, two, I would not be so adamant about saying my guy will def TKO a fighter that has never been knocked down. I am just curious how Saul internally is taking all this in. Yes he is saying the right things and he seems calm, but at the same time, he has to feel a bit of pressure coming from Golden Boy. If he loses badly then there will be no need for a rematch, and then where does he go from there? He can't fight B and C fighters anymore. There is so much riding on this fight. Personally, Oscar needs to tone it down. We all know how you feel. That extra pressure can be nerve racking. What do yawl think?

(WMC-TV) - The cold snap followed by mild temperatures have cause a peak in road potholes. The key is to be on the lookout.
City, county, and state crews are working day and night to fill the gaps.
"It's awful," said driver Mary Ann Walker describing the dreaded moment when you just did not have enough time to avoid a pothole.
"They cause your car to be out of alignment. They cause knots on your tires."
Pothole repairs caused hours of traffic on Interstate 40 at the flyover Tuesday.
State crews fix highways. Counties cover damage on unincorporated roads, and cities tend to city roads.
The call volume is up.
"We attribute it to what we call the freeze thaw process when we go from severely cold conditions to warmer weather conditions and there's an increase in pothole requests," said public works information officer Matoiri Spencer.
The City of Memphis handles 770 pothole calls per week.
"They're monitoring their routes, they're looking for potholes," said Spencer.
Twelve crews are dedicated to just fixing potholes.
"We try to fill them by the end of the business day. In the event that they are made after the noon hour, we fill potholes the next business day," said Spencer.
Shelby County handles all complaints within two days, and they have averaged 363 potholes per week since September.
The Tennessee Department of Transportation uses many factors to prioritize pothole repairs from the size and condition of a pothole, as well as higher traffic count areas.
If you need to report a pothole you can call one of the following numbers.

Ah, senior year - the time has come to sit back, relax and enjoy free reign of the school. There are some over-achievers applying for scholarships and colleges already, but you think they're wasting their time. After all, scholarships aren't awarded until spring.
Wake up and smell the coffee - scholarships are awarded all year round! By the time you start applying in April, three-quarters have already been awarded. As early as October, scholarship judges are reading and deciding. It's a tragedy when someone does not get a higher education because it costs too much, so start working on funding today.
If you apply now, your chance of receiving a scholarship is much greater. Start small. I just about died last year writing essays for huge amounts of money that only go to a few recipients. That time could have been better spent writing essays for the small scholarships that offer money to a number of people. Your chances of winning these are greater and a few hundred dollars here and there really add up, believe me! While I'm sure you are a remarkable and talented individual, so are a lot of others. You have to make yourself stand out.
So what does it take to wow a scholarship panel? It takes more than a mile-long list of activities and credentials, amazing ACT/SAT scores, good grades and astounding referrals. Colleges consider what a student can offer their school and community. I'm sure you've heard rumors that colleges want smart kids who are involved in every activity under the sun. I'll let you in on a little secret that you can only learn from experience - they are looking for you. Intelligent, talented and involved students all have something to offer, but you do, too. Colleges enjoy someone who specializes because it shows that this individual has commitment. Applicants who spent a year in basketball, a semester in pep club and a few years in student council look fickle.
You have to be the one to say what is great about you. While modesty is a great virtue, you have to sell yourself hard. You may feel like an egomaniac, but it's necessary. Don't overexaggerate, though, because they can spot a fake. Use every possible thing you have going for you. Talk about hobbies, dreams and goals, people who have influenced you and your experiences. Everyone loves a scholar who rises in the face of adversity, but tell them more than a touching story. Tell them what you've learned from your experiences and how that in turn can benefit their school. (Wichita State University, in my case.)
If you can imagine the painstaking work it took for you to plan, write and revise a masterpiece of an essay, imagine how painstaking it is to read thousands of essays just like yours! A scholarship panelist's job isn't easy; after a long day of reviewing a never-ending stack of applications, they will be pickier about which ones they spend more time reading. Make your application stand out. No panelist will stop to read a small, fancy font, it's just too hard. Likewise, they don't want to read a novel. Keep it concise and powerful.
You may be wondering how to present your activities. Judges like to see a clean, professional-looking resumé so find a format that works best for you. Be sure to include all school and community activities, community service, jobs, skills, awards, recognitions, etc. It would be a good idea to keep one master copy of your resumé in some format that makes it easy to have all of your information in one place. But when it comes time to fill out an application, don't use the same personal essay and activities list each time. It's okay to have a template, but customize for each scholarship. Judges can tell if someone has used a generic essay and it shows them that you don't really care. It also says you're lazy.
Hopefully, this information will help you get a good start on your scholarship hunting. It may be annoying to start working hard now when all your classmates are having fun, but when it comes to crunch time, you'll be glad you did it! Remember, start early, make your application stand out, and be organized!

Influenza Virus Subtypes
- Details
- Last Update On : 2013-01-20
The term 'flu' is often used for any febrile respiratory illness with systemic symptoms that may be caused be a myriad of bacterial or viral agents as well as influenza viruses. However, true influenza is an acute infectious disease caused by a member of the orthomyxovirus family, which includes influenza virus A, B and C. Influenza outbreaks usually occur in the winter in temperate climates. In the United States, the flu season usually starts in October or November and buy cheap online viagra peaks between December and March.
Major outbreaks of influenza are associated with influenza virus type A or B. Influenza A infects birds, humans, swine, horses, seals and dogs. Influenza A is responsible for frequent, usually annual outbreaks or epidemics of varying intensity, and occasional pandemics, whereas influenza B causes outbreaks every two to four years. Influenza B viruses cause the same spectrum of disease as influenza A. However, influenza B viruses do not cause pandemics, possibly because they p

Last December the child nutrition department at Los Angeles Unified School District sat down to draw up menus that would fit the new guidelines as proposed under the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. David Binkle, deputy director of foodservice, and Mark Baida, executive chef, were part of the team that worked to draft the menus. "It's like putting together a puzzle because of all the mandates about the amounts of items you have to include in a reimbursable meal while keeping within caloric intake ranges," Binkle said about drafting the menus.

•The council decided to hold an open community meeting regarding the alcohol ordinance at the next regular council meeting.
That meeting is scheduled for June 5, at 9 a.m. This will be the final discussion of the measure, the council plans to vote and adopt the ordinance at the second council meeting of June.
•The council voted to annex a piece of property that crosses over the line into Jefferson County. Mayor Petey Ellis told the council that the property owner had met all the requirements for annexation.
Fire Chief David Waid asked the council to provide an updated map of the city's boundaries to assist his department and clear up confusion with the Bagley Fire Department. Property outside Sumiton's jurisdiction would fall to the Bagley Fire Department and would be subject to their fire dues.
•The mayor introduced an ordinance that would allow the city to participate in the state-wide tax-free weekend for storm repair supplies and storm-readiness equipment.

CATEGORIES MoviesWhen rumors surfaced that 'Twilight' co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were dating each other, tabloids (and teen girls) everywhere went wild. The thing is, the two have never exactly confirmed their relationship and have always managed to keep their private life out of the spotlight. Until now. Maybe. During an interview with British GQ, Stewart mentioned that her "boyfriend is English." However, after the writer followed up, Stewart was quick to point out that she "never would have said that if I knew you were interviewing me" (forget the fact that she was being interviewed). Stewart added that "so much of my life is so easily Googled ... I mean, it's like, 'Come on guys, it's so obvious!'"
So, there you have it: Kristen Stewart is dating a British dude and Robert Pattinson is British! It kinda counts as a semi-confirmation! That noise you just heard were the screams of millions of Twi-hards around the world.

- For the first time ever, the Gravity Core lets you adjust unwanted spin independently of launch angle, so you get completely optimized ball flights and longer distance. You want an extreme low spin driver? You can have it. Or a more total performance, mid-low spin driver? Yep, absolutely. It's not magic; it's the Gravity Core in action.
- Together with the adjustable hosel, players now have an added dimension of adjustability to optimize launch angle. So now you get EVEN MORE ball speed and distance. We hope that's okay with you.
- Dial in your preferred directional bias with the adjustable weights, enhancing a Draw or Neutral shot shape for more accuracy. Whatever flight you want, Big Bertha Alpha can give it to you.
A revolutionary new face design – it's larger, and more robust than ever to increase ball speeds across the face. Expect longer drives, more consistently.Advanced Adjustable Hosel
Here's the quick 3-step process. Step 1: Increase or decrease loft in 1° increments (up to +2° or down -1°) to optimize launch angle and spin. Step 2: Adjust Draw or Neutral bias to optimize shot shape. Step 3: Hit absolute bombs off the tee, maximizing distance with more accuracy. Players really seem to like step 3.Forged Composite
It's a high strength, lightweight crown that saves crucial weight. And here's what we get by saving that weight: Adjustable Perimeter Weighting, a deeper CG for more forgiveness, and low spin with a lighter, more preferred swing weight. That's why when you add four independent forms of adjustability to a driver for the first time ever, you've got to have Forged Composite.Premium New Mitsubishi Fubuki Tour Shaft
Big Bertha Alpha has a new Tour shaft offering from Mitsubishi, who makes some of the most trusted shafts on Tour. It's called the Fubuki ZT Shaft, and it's designed to increase energy transfer, resulting in more ball speed while delivering a mid launch with low spin, an ideal shot shape for long, penetrating distance.2014 Golf Digest Hot List Gold Medal
"With the ability to adjust the CG horizontally and vertically as well as the loft and lie angle independently, this driver stands alone technologically." - Golf Digest

4No Big Deal, But Joe Simpson Took Out A Secret Life Insurance Policy on Jessica
Psych! It actually is kind of a big deal that Joe Simpson, well-known shademeister, took out a life insurance police on his very, very famous daughter without telling anyone. Probably just because it's creepy. It's really creepy, isn't it? Like, this is how some mystery novels begin. And spoiler alert: those mystery novels never end well.
From Radar:
Joe Simpson secretly took out a $4.5 million life insurance policy in daughter Jessica's name with himself listed as the sole beneficiary, a source tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
The policy was drafted around 8 years ago, the source says, and The Dukes Of Hazzard star and her mom Tina only found out about its existence last week.
Tina's attorneys at Dunnam & Dunnam were made aware of the policy's existence in a meeting with the Simpsons' business manager, David Levin, and the source says that both Jessica and Tina are "furious" that Joe had done such a thing without the knowledge of either of them.
"Tina found out about yet another one of Joe's secrets and couldn't believe what she was hearing," the source, who is close to the Simpson family, tells RadarOnline.com.
"It came out in a meeting with David and her attorneys last week that Joe set up a life insurance policy for Jessica 8 years ago that made him the sole beneficiary.
"It was pointed out to Tina that as Jessica's manager Joe wasn't doing anything underhanded by taking out a policy to protect his biggest income source, but she was absolutely furious that Joe did it without consulting her or Jessica.
"Joe's actions have put a massive strain on the family, and it's only getting worse. It's hard to see that Tina and Joe will ever be amicable with each other again and the divorce case is shaping up to be very messy," the source says.
Maybe I'm just wondering this because we just talked about Britney Spears, but is it even possible to be the parent of an extremely famous, successful daughter and not turn into a total creep? Or is the parent a creep to begin with, and the daughter's fame just allows more opportunities for poor choices? Either way, can everyone please just stop?

3I Guess Britney Spears Is Going to Be Single Soon
Ugh, poor Britney. It's always something, isn't it? Last month the story was that she and Jason had planned to get married before the end of the year, but they couldn't stop fighting long enough to plan everything out. And now it looks like Jason is definitely leaving Britney, and all that's left to do is tell her.
He's apparently already told Britney's family so that she'll "have a support system when he breaks the bad news." He's also being enough of a sweetheart to wait until this season of X-Factor is over so that she doesn't have to do live television while brokenhearted. Isn't that thoughtful?
Another thing: he still wants to be her manager. And he's already one of her conservators, remember, so this plan may not be good for Britney's heart, but it makes perfect sense for Britney's bank account. Which is, obviously, the most important thing.
I'm not so sure I believe this, but that's basically just because I want nothing but good things for Britney. This dude breaking up with her while he still keeps a firm grasp on her money? Not so good for her.

0Emma Roberts Is Very Subtle
This is a photo that Emma Roberts posted on her Instagram. She's since deleted it. I don't know what it means. I don't know who took the picture. All I know for sure is that Emma Roberts hangs out wearing an "I Love James Franco" shirt and what sort of looks like Pikachu underwear. And really, I think that's all I need to know.

7Look, It's The Kardashian Kristmas Kard!
Because we all know that it's not Christmastime until we see how the Kardashians and the Jenners decided to come together for their annual Christmas card.
There's a couple of interesting things here, I guess. Obviously, Kanye isn't there, which is extremely upsetting, and also surprising. Don't they realize how much more press they would get with this is he was on there? There's not any trouble in Kimye paradise, is there? Heaven forbid Kim lose the latest love of her life, especially when she's still married to her last one. Can you even imagine?
I guess the only other interesting thing is how much people care about these cards every year. When I was trying to find the best version of this photo, I found dozens and dozens of other blogs and news sites that already got the tip last night, and I don't get it. And you know I'm not trying to do a big "why do people care about celebrities?" thing, or even a "why do people care about the Kardashians?" thing. People care about them because it's fun to gossip, duh. But I don't get why people care so much about these Christmas cards specifically. Is it just so we can speculate about Kim's love life? Or to see what Bruce Jenner's face is up to? Because I can understand that. But otherwise, what's the appeal?
It's not Kim's stupid greased back hair, that's for sure.

5Lindsay Lohan Is Now Available for Weddings and Bar Mitzvahs
Oh my goodness, isn't this exciting?! I've just started planning my own wedding! All I have so far is my ideal venue, my bridesmaids, colors (probably) and a date (tentatively). Basically, I'm turning out to be the worst at wedding planning, which actually isn't all that surprising, seeing as how I'm the worst at regular planning.
But guys, now that I know that Lindsay Lohan, THE Lindsay Lohan, is now available to make appearances at weddings? Nothing else matters.
From Page Six:
Facing money woes, a staggering tax bill and alleged delinquency on her storage locker full of personal possessions, is Lindsay Lohan's scrambling to make some cash?
A talent company claiming to represent the troubled actress wants us to know their client is available for weddings and Bat Mitzvahs.
Page Six received an email pitch from 123Talent with the subject line "Book One of Hollywood's Biggest Movie Stars Lindsay Lohan Now!" offering us the opportunity to request the presence of Lohan herself at whatever event or venue.
In bright pink lettering, the email reminds us that "Not only is Lindsay an Actress but she is also a Fashion Designer, Model and Recording Artist." Perhaps adding "Jail Bait" didn't have much of a ring to it.
The email, which also includes a hastily photoshopped composite of the star, goes on to list all of Lohan's film and television stints — even ones we'd rather forget — from "The Parent Trap" to "I Know Who Killed Me," from "Life Size" to "Liz & Dick."
We've reached out to Lohan's rep and have not received an immediate response on the authenticity of the email.
If I slip her an extra dollar, do you think she could be our officiant?

83Victoria Jackson Is The Worst Person Ever
Ok, I'm sure that Victoria Jackson isn't the worst person ever. Not really. I'm sure that there are plenty of people in the world who are worse than Victoria Jackson. I can think of four or five right off the top of my head. But right now, right at this very moment in time, I am enraged, and right now, to me, Victoria Jackson is worse than everyone.
This is going to make you angry, I think. I almost didn't even talk about this, but it just pissed me off too much, and I have to share it so that I feel less alone in this empty pit of rage.
This is about the shooting in Connecticut, and what Victoria Jackson had to say about it. If you need to sit this one out, I understand. If not, let's get to it.
Here are things that Victoria said on her Facebook following the shooting:
Obama dramatically wiped a tear as he said, "The majority of those who died today were children — beautiful little kids … They had their entire lives ahead of them — birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own…"
And this:
TV News can't figure out why all these 20 year olds are murdering. The school system taught them they are animals (evolution) for the last 20 years. Survival of the fittest. They're just acting like animals.
And this:
Lord, please comfort the grieving and please let our nation invite you back into our families so this evil won't happen again. In Jesus name, amen.
F-ck you, Victoria Jackson.
Obama didn't have babies aborted. He doesn't have a uterus, so he can't have any babies aborted. He also can't make laws all by himself, because that's not how this government works. Oh, and also this: an abortion is not the same thing as murdering a six-year-old child, you ignorant bitch.
WE ARE ANIMALS. We just are. Humans are animals. We've built a bigger society than other animals, and we've gotten more advanced with our communication, but we are most certainly animals. I really hate that I have to explain this.
I also hate that I have to explain that the U.S. was not founded on Christianity, because it wasn't. Pilgrims came here for religious freedom. Thomas Jefferson, the guy who wrote most of the Declaration of Independence, which is a pretty big deal, wasn't even a Christian. This tragedy has absolutely nothing to do with "taking God out of our schools," and I don't even understand why people think that.
If I see one more Photoshopped picture of Jesus floating over a classroom with a caption like "I wish they would let me in there with you," or if I hear one more person mention that this shooting, the one in Aurora, and Columbine all happened in liberal states that are working on gun control, then I will lose my f-cking mind. Yes, we need to take a good hard look on what we can do to prevent this kind of thing. But it doesn't have anything to do with bringing religion back to public schools or your weird political agenda.
Victoria's stance also says that guns are not the problem, but in the wise words of Eddie Izzard, "guns don't kill people, people kill people, but I think the gun helps." And on that note, let's all go watch Eddie Izzard clips and try to regain the ability to feel feelings. Sound good?

Sesame Rice Recipe
THIS SIDE DISH is compatible with any meat entree you serve. One of my friends gave me this recipe many years ago. I made a few changes, and it has been a family favorite for a long time. This secret of the tasty flavor is the chicken broth. Norma Poole Auburndale, Florida
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/4 cups hot water
- In a medium skillet, saute sesame seeds in butter for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Add rice, celery and onion; saute until the rice is browned. Spoon into an ungreased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Dissolve bouillon and salt in water; pour over the rice mixture. Cover and bake at 325° for 50-60 minutes or until rice is tender. Yield: 2 servings.

really good, I used brown rice.
Reviewed Jan. 9, 2013
I'm not a big fan of rice, but I loved this dish! I thought I had sesame seeds on hand but didn't, so I used sesame oil to saute instead. It was still delicious! I served it with some Thai spicy peanut pork and stir-fried cabbage.
Reviewed Nov. 8, 2012
I was expecting this rice to be a little bland, but was surprised by it's big flavor! Absolutely delicious. The only thing is that it was too salty, next time I won't add the extra that the recipe calls for, it really dose not need it. This coming from a person who likes salty food.
Reviewed May. 21, 2012
This rice was very good, but I used Basmati rice, which I felt over powered any other flavor. I will make this again, just with a different rice.
Reviewed Apr. 12, 2012
Easy to make! Delicious!

Vivian D. Goldsmith, 80, Batesville, died Friday, Feb. 15, 2013, at Christ Hospital, Cincinnati.
Born Dec. 30, 1932, in Cincinnati, she was the daughter of Helen (Baldock) and Charles Faulkner. She married Paul Goldsmith Sr. Aug. 2, 1952, at St. Louis Catholic Church.
She worked 10 years at Danner's General Store, becoming assistant manager, and five years at Save-A-Lot. She was a member of St. Louis Catholic Church, the Sacred Heart Society, Al-Anon and Surviving Spouses Group.
Vivian knew what she wanted and her family quickly learned this, too. For instance, don't call her at 7 p.m. because she was busy watching "Wheel of Fortune." "Let's Make a Deal" and "The Price is Right" were two other programs best left uninterrupted.
Vivian also loved working jigsaw puzzles, so when you came by, be prepared to sit around the table and work on the puzzle if you planned on visiting with her. Other interests included making ceramics, watching her birds from the kitchen and playing solitaire the old-fashioned way or on the computer. She enjoyed traveling with Paul and her favorite destination was Gatlinburg, which they visited often over the years.
Vivian always said the rosary at night before going to bed, but, according to the kids, sometimes it was an abbreviated version if she happened to nod off. Her family also talked about her ability to welcome new members into Al-Anon, helping them to comfortably settle into the group. Family was important to her and the kids all agreed Mom's best friend was her sister Helen. They also laughed about the holidays in recent years. Mom would tell them, "This year I'm too old to do Christmas." Other plans would be made only for Vivian to let them know a few days before that they were all expected at the house.
The kids also teased her about her shopping habits. She loved to shop and would bring clothes home, ultimately deciding they didn't fit or she really didn't like them and have the kids find a new home for them.
She is survived by her daughters Beverly Goldsmith-Bowling, Cincinnati, and Dawn Giltz, Fairfield, Ohio; sons Paul Jr., Canton, Ohio, Douglas, Greensburg, and David, Bright; sister Helen Bise, Batesville; brothers Charles, Sunman, and Steven, Holton; 12 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
In addition to her husband and parents, she was also preceded in death by her sister, Agnes Faulkner.
Visitation is Tuesday, Feb. 19, from 4-7 p.m. at Weigel Funeral Home with a rosary service at 4 p.m. Funeral services are at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20, at St. Louis Catholic Church with the Rev. Shawn Whittington officiating. Burial is in the church cemetery. The family requests memorials to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

A boyfriend and girlfriend are facing gun charges even though she has a concealed weapons permit.
Police say a gun ended up in the hands of a convicted felon. So he went to jail and so did his girlfriend for how it happened.
The story started with a gun in the glove box of a car and then a purse.
But police say they found it in the waistband of Corey Etheridge, and he's on probation for drugs.
So what about the glove box and the purse?
Investigators say Ashley Jackson has a permit to carry a concealed weapon. She told cops she had the gun before it fell on the ground and her boyfriend Corey picked it up.
But police say a witness saw Jackson give her boyfriend the gun and it happened as they had an angry confrontation with some guys about a dirt bike.
In fact, police say that gun didn't even have any marks on it, didn't look as if it had been dropped on the ground.

Chicago Bears' running back Matt Forte will make his return to the Chicago backfield on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, according to a report by Jay Glazer. The report says that Forte, who was previously considered a game-time decision, will be dressed and is expecting to play on Monday night.
Forte has not played since he was injured in the Bears' Week 2 loss against the Green Bay Packers. Forte suffered a high ankle sprain in the third quarter of that game against Green Bay and missed Chicago's Week 3 win over the St. Louis Rams.
Before suffering the injury, Forte had carried 23 times for 111 yards and a touchdown. The running back has also caught seven passes for 89 yards thus far in 2012.
The Bears and Cowboys, who are both 2-1 on the season, kick off at 8:30 p.m. ET from Cowboy Stadium. The Monday Night Football game can be seen on ESPN.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The Republican candidates and a few independent groups have spent nearly $10 million on television and radio ads in seven states that vote on Super Tuesday.
More than half of that total comes from the Mitt Romney-backing Restore Our Future, which is running spots criticizing Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.
The infusion of cash has swelled total ad spending in the GOP presidential race to more than $75 million. That's according to a review of Federal Election Commission data and information provided to The Associated Press by several media buyers.
About $40 million has been spent by the Romney campaign and Restore Our Future to support the former Massachusetts governor.
The latest figures provide more evidence of the oversized role that these groups have played in the campaign.

Tennessee's mineral industry contributes nearly $800 million in product value annually. Total direct and indirect economic impact is nearly $8.8 billion annually, affecting more than 98,000 jobs. Tennessee has a history of mining more different kinds of mineral resources than any other state east of the Mississippi River except North Carolina, dating back to the late 18th century.
Energy minerals found in Tennessee include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, and oil shales, and radioactive minerals, but not all are in deposits large enough or high-grade enough to recover under present economic conditions. Only coal, oil, and natural gas are currently being recovered, but their value is considerable, accounting for about 10 percent ($75 million) of the State's annual mineral production value.
Tennessee's coal production is small but generally high quality. All present production is bituminous coal from the Cumberland Plateau and Cumberland Mountains regions. There is a sizable reserve of lignite in West Tennessee, more than a billion tons, but as yet there has been no mining. Coal production accounts for about 8.5 percent ($67 million) of Tennessee's annual mineral production value.
Tennessee's oil and gas production is small by national standards. Oil production currently totals about 350,000 barrels per year, down from more than one million barrels in 1982. Gas production was close to zero before 1977, when pipelines first reached the fields, but rose by 1984 to more than five billion cubic feet per year. It has since declined to slightly more than one billion cubic feet per year. Its current value ($4.7 million) is only about half that of the oil production ($9.1 million).
Tennessee is the leading producer of ball clay in the nation. Ball clay is used primarily in the manufacture of dinnerware, floor and wall tile, pottery, and sanitaryware, and accounts for about four percent ($29 million) of Tennessee's annual mineral production value.
Construction materials mined or quarried in Tennessee include dimension stone (sandstone and marble), crushed stone, limestone and clay for making cement, and sand and gravel. While some of these are considered to be mineral commodities, rather than minerals in the strictest sense, they are all a very important part of Tennessee's mineral industry. Collectively, these materials account for more than 50 percent ($442 million) of the State's annual mineral production value, and production of one or another (or several) occurs in virtually every county in the State.
Zinc is another mineral of considerable importance to Tennessee's economy. Mines and mills are currently being operated in Grainger, Jefferson, and Knox Counties in East Tennessee, and in Smith County in Middle Tennessee. Tennessee is currently the second largest producer of zinc in the nation. An electrolytic zinc plant in Clarksville operates at 105,000 tons per year, which accounts for 28 percent of U.S. zinc production. This plant is one of two in the United States that produce primary cadmium as a by-product during roasting and leaching of the zinc concentrate. The Smith county mines produce the highest-grade zinc concentrate in the world at 64.5 percent and are also one of the world's largest sources of germanium, a critical and strategic material that is used in fiber optics, infrared systems, and semiconductors.
