Well I tried my hand at making deer food plots. It sure was fun I hope they turn out well. I planted one my our trailer a little one where my dad hunts and a big one for my cousin.
This is the field by the trailer that I had the big bonfire in this spring. I finished up clearing out the brush spent two day picking rocks and roots out of it. The disk and planted it. And I have enough brush for another big bonfire!!!
Up in the woods where Dad hunts I was only going to plow and plant half of it. But it is pretty small so I plowed up most of it.
The largest by far was my Cousin Dave's field. It rained up there monday so it should be growing now

Governor Bobby Jindal's poll numbers may be low in Louisiana, but once again he's giving his fellow Republicans some sage advice. The last time he gave the GOP advice, they were not too happy with his choice of words.
The Huffington Post
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (R) spoke at a GOP dinner in New Hampshire on Friday, urging his fellow Republicans to "get over" last year's electoral defeats and instead focus on reassessing party priorities ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
"We lost an election that we probably should have won," Jindal said at a GOP fundraiser in Manchester, N.H., according to ABC News. "It's time to get over it. … I think we can win elections by sticking to our principles, but I do think we need to make some changes and I think we need to think seriously about where we go from here."
He continued, "We spent too much time last year criticizing the other side without saying what we were going to do instead, without saying what we were for."
The Republican governor made headlines last year when he called on members of his party to end "dumbed-down conservatism" and "stop being the stupid party." During his New Hampshire speech, Jindal offered an explanation for those remarks.
"What I meant by that was we've got to present thoughtful policy solutions to the American people — not just bumper stickers, not just 30-second solutions," Jindal said, according to the Washington Times. "We have to have the confidence and the courage in our convictions and show them that our ideas will benefit them."
Jindal has frequently been floated as a potential candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. However, he has brushed off the speculation, insisting that it is too early to wade into the race.
"Anybody on the Republican side even thinking or talking about running for president in 2016, I've said, needs to get their head examined," Jindal said during a February appearance on "Fox and Friends." "And the reason I say that is, we've lost two presidential elections in a row, we need to be winning the debate of ideas– then we'll win elections."

Thread: Day 2 Of The 2013 Draft
Day 2 Of The 2013 Draft
It's Day 2 of the 2013 NFL Draft and the Vikings currently holds no picks in round 2 and round 3 after the Patriots trade.
What are the Vikings gonna do? Just take a day off and get ready to light it up on Day 3? Or trade back up in round 2 or round 3? In that case, do we use our draft picks or current players on the rosters?
a. The luxury of good players we have on defensive ends.
b. All of our top four D-linemen are in their last contract year.
c. We just signed Lawrence Jackson, a starter-caliber former first round pick at defensive end
... a trade looks possible in the horizon.
I hate to say it, but I think Brian Robinson might be the best option to trade. I'm so impressed by what I've seen of Everson Griffin that I think he can easily replace Robinson. That is not a knock on Robinson at all, but a testament to how good I think Everson is. Everson is also 25 years old, Robinson is 30. Robinson does not have any character concerns, but it looks like Everson has really matured.
Based on how highly pass-rushers are valued these days, I think we can easily get a third rounder for Brian Robinson.
Other trades I would be willing to make:
1. Cris Cook for a second or third round pick.
2. Christian Ponder for a second round pick... just kidding!
.. But more importantly, are there any players that are worth trading up for?
2013 NFL Draft: Best remaining players
It's rare to see this many big names still available heading into the second round of the NFL draft. Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith, USC quarterback Matt Barkley and a whole host of teams still looking for quarterbacks should make Friday the most intriguing "Day 2" of the NFL draft since the league changed to the Thursday night Round 1 format.
1. Eddie Lacy, RB, Alabama: Lacy's problem: There's not a logical fit for him early in the second round. The Arizona Cardinals?
2. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: If the Jacksonville Jaguars don't take him to start the second round, the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cardinals make logical options.
3. Jonathan Cyprien, FS, Florida International: Cyprien's ability to cover a large area of land in a few steps is incredible.
4. Menelik Watson, OT, Florida State: Eight offensive linemen went off the board on Thursday. Another one should go off the board early Friday.
5. Tank Carradine, DE, Florida State: There's a strong argument to be made he is more talented than teammate Bjoern Werner. (And a lot of other pass rushers.)
6. Ryan Nassib, QB, Syracuse: There's a good chance Nassib goes to the Jaguars, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport said earlier in the week. He shouldn't last long.
7. Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State: One of Te'o's issues: There still are good linebackers out there like Brown, and LSU's Kevin Minter.
8. Jamar Taylor, CB, Boise State: He has the profile of a long-term NFL starter.
9. Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama: He got lost in the defensive tackle shuffle, but Williams has a dynamite skill set.
10. Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame
11. Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU
12. Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
13. Keenan Allen, WR, California
14. D.J. Swearinger, SS, South Carolina
15. Margus Hunt, DE, SMU
16. Matt Barkley, QB, USC
17. Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
18. Cornelius Washington, OLB, Georgia
19. Terron Armstead, OT, Arkansas-Pine Bluff
20. Giovani Bernard, RB, North Carolina
Draft has a butt load of pass rushing DE's that can be had for a pick.
We rotate our DE's alot.
Larry Jack is a camp body. If he was anything else, the Lions would have grabbed one of the butt load of pass rushing DE's.
In the end, its more plausible that the staff, after having 2 players fall into their laps they didn't expect, decided that getting Patterson was more important than to let him pass so they spent picks on him and will execute their backup plan at MLB.
My guess, you won't see much activity from the Vikings tonight.Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

If bank deposits don't look so appealing compared to gold, that has to do with the tax treatment of the resultant income from such deposits.
There is an understandably desperate tone to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Deputy Governor, Dr K. C. Chakrabarty's recent exhortations to the public against the practice of giving gold as dowry or as religious offering. It springs, perhaps, from the recent tendency of Indians moving away from parking their savings in financial instruments. During 2011-12, bank deposits grew by Rs 701,110 crore, which was less than the Rs 715,140 crore in the previous fiscal, notwithstanding interest rates being raised sharply on both time and savings deposits. Also notable is the fact that nominal incomes in the economy grew and the public propensity to save did not diminish in any significant manner. Moreover, this 'de-financialisation' — apparent also from outflows under small savings schemes and the vastly reduced investor interest in equities, debentures or units — has been accompanied by money gushing into gold, real estate and other 'physical' forms of storing wealth. In the case of gold, there is an added problem: Unlike real estate, which lies within the country, it is substantially imported. Between 2005-06 and 2011-12, India's gold imports have surged nearly six-fold to roughly $60 billion. When people put money into gold, what is savings for them individually is actually a source of capital outflow for the national economy.
But the solution to this cannot come from moral indignation alone. In times of inflation, households are naturally inclined to seek out more 'solid' ways of preserving the real value of their money. The fact that gold prices have more than doubled in the last three years has only reinforced this confidence. But such returns are usually episodic and shouldn't really deter the public from entrusting their savings with banks at least. A 9 per cent annual interest on term deposits up to five years isn't bad, when it is guaranteed and safe as well. The problem, though, is when the income from these gets taxed at the highest marginal slab, and is also deducted at source — as is inevitably the case. Such issues rarely arise in gold or land, where the investment 'naturally multiplies' over time and people find way to avoid tax through reinvestments or dealing in cash. And they don't mind even if the returns are back-ended, unlike the yearly interest accruals on bank deposits.
It is time the Government seriously considers tax incentives to arrest the process of 'de-financialisation', not the least from a balance of payments perspective. There is no need, for instance, to treat interest on bank deposits as income to be taxed at the normal (often highest) marginal rates. Why cannot it be considered on a par with capital gains attracting lower tax, even if no formal asset transfer may be taking place here? Also, we need schemes incentivising households to deposit their idle gold with banks in return for a regular interest. Such gold can be used as repo collateral to enhance banks' own lendable resources, besides ensuring that 'savings' in gold are not a one-way import street.

Epstein syndrome
Epstein syndrome is one form of the ``MYH9 syndrome'' (a group that includes four clinical forms with similar manifestations: May-Hegglin anomaly, Sebastian syndrome, Fechtner syndrome, and Epstein syndrome; see these terms), characterized by usually severe macrothrombocytopenia but paradoxically resulting in few if any symptoms. The prevalence of Epstein syndrome is unknown. Less than 100 families have been described so far. Macrothrombocytopenia is defined as the presence of giant platelets, with a diameter equal to or greater than that of a red blood cell. Epstein syndrome clinically resembles Fechtner syndrome (renal involvement marked by interstitial glomerulonephritis and sensorineural deafness associated with thrombopenia), but it can be distinguished by the absence of cataract. Epstein syndrome is transmitted following an autosomal dominant pattern, most often as a result of point mutations in the MYH9 gene. This gene, localized to 22q12-13, encodes the nonmuscle myosin heavy chain type IIA (MYHIIA), which is expressed in some blood cells (polynuclear cells, monocytes and platelets), in the cochlea and in the kidneys. These molecular anomalies result in abnormal dimerization of the MYHIIA protein, which becomes unstable and coprecipitates with normal MYHIIA in the cytoplasm of leucocytes, thus forming cytoplasmic inclusion bodies that are absent in Epstein syndrome. This abnormal dimerization also leads to failure to properly organize the cytoskeleton in megakaryocytes, which triggers macrocytic thrombopenia. Glomerular involvement occurs later and inconstantly as the dimerization defect of MYHIIA could be compensated in situ by the presence of another myosin type (type IIB). The majority of patients do not suffer from abnormal bleeding and in this case no specific treatment is required. However, platelet transfusion may be advised before a surgical operation. The management of nephropathy depends on the degree of renal involvement: from regular medical surveillance to renal dialysis.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
The Ohio Attorney General and the Ohio Department of Commerce have both obtained temporary restraining orders against Nancy Jo Frazer and Albert Rosebrock after a WTOL 11 investigation revealed questions about an investment business in Bryan, OH.
The allegations against Frazer, Rosebrock, and their companies include securities fraud and violation of Ohio charitable law by soliciting investments in an online scam through an organization called Profitable Sunrise.
The complaint accuses Frazer and Rosebrock of using websites for Profitable Sunrise, Focus Up Ministries, and their related groups – which referenced charitable and religious works - to help build the largest group of investors in Profitable Sunrise. The complaint further states that Frazer and Rosebrock used profits and commissions for personal expenses instead of for charitable work.
Read more about the investigation into Profitable Sunrise.
Toledo News Now has reached out to Frazer and Rosebrock. Frazer says she can't talk about the allegations.
A preliminary injunction hearing is set for July 22.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. - Friday marked one week since the deadly mass shooting inside a Newtown, Connecticut elementary school, and yet tensions and anxiety remain high in halls across the nation and Minnesota.
Three St. Cloud schools imposed limits onhallway activity Friday morning morning due to social media rumors about the Mayan calendar and the Connecticut school shooting, Superintendent Bruce Watkins said.
Apollo and Technical high schools and North Junior High School started the day in containment. The containment was lifted at 10:30 a.m. for Apollo, and was expected to be lifted at Tech after lunch. Watkins had not heard if North had lifted it as well.
Containment limits hallway traffic to between period changes. Hall passes are denied. No school is in lock down, which puts students and staff behind locked doors with lights off.
Today is also the last day before the winter break and that raises anxieties too, Watkins said.
"We are aware of a lot of social media activity and that has created a lot of anxiety for kids," Watkins said.
Watkins said he has left it to each principal at the district's schools to decide if they want to go into containment. He said he has not received or heard any specific problems or threats. The schools will stay in close contact with their police liaison officers today.
St. Cloud is not alone. In Northfield, officials at Northfield Middle Schoolshifted intosecure mode after a staff member shared information he or she had learned about a parent.A post on the district's website didn't specify what the informationrelated to, but said "Our staff is working directly with law enforcement agencies to reduce any further reason for concern."
School operations at Northfield Middle School are business as usual with the exception of a secure main entrance. The school posted a staff greeter positioned there to screen guests before they enter the school. The move was made to give "peace of mind" to both students and staff on the last day before Northfield's winter break.

Monday night in Anaheim, Angels lefthander C.J. Wilson attempted to stop a ground ball with his bare left hand. This is rarely a good idea for pitchers, since they can hurt the body part they most need! Wilson was removed from the game, which the Angels won on his behalf.
Fortunately for Wilson and the Angels, he doesn't seem to be seriously injured. Andy Kamenetzky:
X-rays came back negative, and Angels manager Mike Scioscia expressed optimism after the game that Wilson wouldn't miss his next start.
"We're gonna take it one day at a time, but we hope so," Scioscia said.
Wilson said he doesn't expect to have to miss any time, and chalked up making that attempt to his competitive nature:
"It's just a competitive thing," Wilson said. "You're going out there trying to do everything you can to win the game. Prevent runs, prevent hits. Whatever you can. Jump in front of the ball. There was a ball earlier in the game that's hit to my right and I tipped it with my right hand, my glove, and it went to (Erick) Aybar. Aybar threw out the guy at first. It's like, just unfortunate, I wasn't able to get the out on that.
"You give everything you can. It's like if you're a hitter and you slide headfirst into first base. It's the same kind of thing."
All players should approach the game that way... but stay healthy.

Cherries: Howe wary of Shakers' form
7:00am Friday 23rd November 2012 in Sport By Neil Perrett
CHERRIES boss Eddie Howe has broken with tradition by suggesting the league table does lie – especially in the case of tomorrow's opponents Bury.
The Shakers, currently third from bottom in League One, have enjoyed an upturn in fortunes since Kevin Blackwell took over as manager at the end of September.
Cherries will put on the line their nine-match unbeaten run at Gigg Lane, while Bury will be bidding to win their fifth game in their past seven.
Bury, who did the double over Cherries last season, have made good use of the loan market with Wolves defender Matt Doherty, Leeds midfielder Zac Thompson and strikers Troy Hewitt (QPR) and Tom Hopper (Leicester) all expected to start.
Howe told the Daily Echo: "It would be wrong to look at the league table in this instance to gauge how hard this game is going to be because they have done extremely well recently.
"They have beaten some good teams and all the reports we have had have on them have been very positive.
"They have brought in some good loan players who have made a difference and have really improved their team and squad. Having been to Bury many times as both manager and player, I know it is a difficult place to go.
"When you put everything in the mix, it is going to be a tough examination for us and another good indicator to see how far we have come.
"Kevin Blackwell has done a great job in a short space of time. We have watched them so we know their strengths. We will prepare our players and make sure they are fully focused."
Howe has no fresh injury concerns for the trip to the north west with the clash likely to come too soon for midfielder Richard Hughes who is close to a return following a hamstring injury.
Cherries: (from) James, Francis, Addison, Elphick, Daniels, McQuoid, MacDonald, Arter, Pugh, Barnard, Grabban, Tubbs, Cook, Fogden, O'Kane, McDermott, Fletcher, Pitman, Jalal.
Shakers: (from) Carson, Doherty, Ebanks-Landell, Hughes, Skarz, Worrall, Thompson, Schumacher, Soares, Hewitt, Hopper, John-Lewis, Sweeney, Carrington, C Jones, A Jones, Sodje, Wylde, Belford.

It's a tricky question when it comes to executive compensation.
Everyone has their own internal meter that causes them to laugh out loud, or sigh, or cry a little when they hear some executive pulled in X million last year.
The disparity in compensation is plain to see.
The Census Bureau estimates that a person with a bachelor's degree will earn something like $1.6 million over their work life (about $2.4 million for white men on the high side, or $1.1 million for Hispanic women on the low side).
There were 67 people at U.S. public fashion brands and retailers who made more than $5 million in 2011.
So at the very least, every executive on that list pulled in what the average college-educated worker could expect to make during two-and-a-half lifetimes.
There's something in the spirit that should reject that as outright, completely and utterly crazy.
Then again, the numbers are not only very large, they're pretty fuzzy.
Much of the compensation for fashion's biggest earners comes in the form of stock or options that may or may not pay out. The idea is that if the executives work hard and do a good job, the stock and options will be worth more by the time they get their hands on them.
In a perfect world, the executive is brilliant and hardworking, the stock flies and they get millions while shareholders get billions. That seems fair, right?
These guys -- they are overwhelmingly guys -- work hard. Anything approaching work-life balance has to be hard to pull off. They are nose to the grindstone all the time, on planes and on the road, constantly engaged in big, heavy-duty decision making.
And there are only so many people who seem to be a credible candidate for corporate titan and they already have jobs that pay well. When a company is looking for a new leader, they have to find one of them and give them more money, and executive compensation skyrockets.
Having written about fashion's corporate honchos for more than a decade, I've found there are two main reactions to executive compensation. They're both wrong.
The first, from let's call it the executives' side, is that this money they're getting is not real, it's paper money and it's inflated by the Securities and Exchange Commission's reporting regulations and so on. If the stock awards and options are worth nothing, then I'm sure it would be nothing for the executives to sign them over to a charity or donate them to worker pension funds or otherwise disavow them.
The second reaction, from Average Joes, is that none of these guys deserve it. And when someone says that, I wonder, would they take the big paycheck themselves?

Delicate knobby flake that leads to cool but a bit vegetated corner which thins and disappears (at the anchor). The climbing is not hard, but with a combination of potentially fragile knobs plus thin cams behind a not-super-bomber flake, this is a somewhat serious lead with an "alpine" feel.
Start up the easy start of the 5.7 flakes approach to You Asked For It/Lechlinski Flake/Swinger (about 100' down and left from Ciebola), then head up the left-facing flake above. There are more flakes to the left, this is the first one you can get to.
Pro to 2" plus 3-4" cams for easy approach climbing (giant flake). Extra thin finger-finger cams for flake. Two bolt anchor. Use a 70m rope to lower, although it's probably possible to carefully rappel a bit right with a 60m.

Joseph Stiglitz: 'Trickle Up Economics' to Blame for Crisis
by Charles Lemos, Wed Sep 01, 2010 at 07:47:33 PM EDT
Why Joseph Stiglitz isn't in the Administration is beyond me. In this lecture given at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia in late July, Dr. Stiglitz puts the blame squarely for our economic meltdow squarely where it needs to be placed: on Ronald Reagan and his free market and low taxation policies that have redistributed wealth upwards. He argues that "trickle up economics" created the credit bubble that triggered the recent financial crisis. "There was a party going on, and nobody wanted to be a party-pooper," says Stiglitz.
Since 1976, 58 percent of all income gains have accrued to the top one percent of US households. Meanwhile, 25 percent of American workers earn a wage that puts them at or below the poverty level. If the redistribution upwards since 1981 had not taken place, if the average American family in the bottom 90 percent were today getting the same share of the nation's income as the average bottom 90 percent family received in 1973 when income distribution was much more egalitarian, this average family would now be taking home in income over $10,000 more per year. The wealth of the top tenth has come by impoverishing the bottom 90 percent. That's the legacy of Ronald Reagan.
Joseph Stiglitz was chief economist at the World Bank until January 2000. Before that, he was the chairman of President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics in 2001. He is currently a finance and economics professor at Columbia University. He is the author of Globalization and Its Discontents and The Roaring Nineties. The full hour long lecture plus a 30 minute Q&A session is available at Fora TV.

Members of Green Team Southwestern will be participating in a service learning trip to Chicago May 9-17.
"The Green Team does a service learning trip every year and this year we are going to Chicago," says Green Team director Jason Speegle. "We are going to be working at Riverwoods Christian Camp, which is a camp for underprivileged kids in the Chicago area."
Speegle says that the Green Team will help prepare the camp for summer usage by painting, landscaping, wood chopping, and trail paving.
The Green Team will also be attending the Chicago Green Festival on May 14.
"This is an opportunity for our students to experience, serve, and learn from a community and culture that is different from Winfield and the surrounding area," Speegle says. "We plan to do some hard work, have a lot of fun, and grow as individuals and as a team."
Students attending the trip are Clint Dick, Spivey; Sydnee Nelson, Clay Center; Sarah Rommelfanger, Baldwin City; Daniel Van Sickle, Maize; Kelcie Parrish, Oklahoma City; Mark Strecker, Tonkawa, Okla.; and Tendai Kwaramba, Zimbabwe.

Burkely or Eddie?
Attention Sibunas! We've got a real mystery that needs solving. We all know and love Burkely Duffield and the character he plays on House of Anubis, but sometimes you gotta wonder: Where does Burkely start and Eddie end? If you think you can separate Mr. Sweet from Mr. Duffield, read on!
Question 1! Which one of these cool dudes loves to rock crazy kicks? A certain someone loves sporting and collecting eye catching sneaks.
Question 2! Who's the best dude to have nearby when you're in a jam, Burkely or Eddie? One of these guys has got a real protective side to him, and the answer may surprise you!
Ready for the answers? Eddie IS a bad boy, but it's actually Burkely who loves to break the rules when it comes to fashion forward footwear. He loves wearing and collecting cool sneakers! And which boy has a protective side to him? Well, it's both! Eddie is the Osirian in the Anubis world, which means he keeps his friends safe and Burkely is actually a big brother in real life!
So, were you able to use clues to uncover the truth? If you didn't, never fear. All you need to know about these guys is that they're equally awesome!

New sound system approved for Memorial Stadium
The University of Nebraska Board of Regents approved the project budget for Memorial Stadium Fan Experience Improvements at its Friday meeting. The $12.3 million project will replace the stadium's existing sound system and install a wireless network system to improve connectivity.
"We are very appreciative of Chancellor Harvey Perlman's support and The Board of Regents' approval of the Memorial Stadium Fan Experience Improvement Project," Director of Athletics Shawn Eichorst said. "This most important project will install a new sound system and wireless network inside Memorial Stadium. These improvements are designed to provide the best college football fans in America with the best game-day experience possible. It is important that we continually strive to improve our fan experience in each of our athletic venues and this project is a big step in that direction."
The existing sound system at Memorial Stadium is more than 20 years old, and while still functional, the normal life expectancy of such systems is 15 years. The project will replace the sound system with a new, single-point source sound system housed in the north end zone. Initial design concepts for the sound system call for multiple speaker arrays and cabinets that will be attached to the top and sides of the HuskerVision screen on the roof of the Osborne Athletic Complex.
The new sound system will allow fans in all parts of the stadium to enjoy the full Nebraska football game-day experience, including HuskerVision features, public address announcements and other audio and video features.
Installation of a wireless network system (WiFi) at Memorial Stadium is the second component of the Memorial Stadium Fan Experience Improvement Project. The explosive growth of smartphones, tablets and other wireless devices in the past decade has fueled demand for continuous connectivity. In past years, connectivity and cell phone service at Memorial Stadium has been limited.
The new wireless network system will allow fans better access to Internet applications from their smartphones regardless of carrier or location, which should relieve stress to cellular networks for voice calls and text messaging. Nebraska Athletics plans to develop a new, all-encompassing Memorial Stadium game-day smartphone application that will include video features, dynamic location-based services and an engaging mobile platform.
Additionally, this project will replace the existing flag poles atop North Stadium with taller, larger poles that accommodate larger display flags which will be more visible from both inside and outside the Stadium.
Construction on the project is scheduled to begin in March and conclude before the start of the 2014 season. Funding for this project comes from premium seating contributions. Nebraska opens the 2014 football season against Florida Atlantic on Aug. 30 at Memorial Stadium.

Jay Bilas: 'Arizona's got all the pieces necessary to make a run'
The Wildcats have started the season with nine straight wins, including a come-from-behind victory over then-No. 5 Florida.
Bilas said that was the type of win where a team grows up a little bit because they rallied late after trailing for basically the entire game.
"To hang in there and find a way to win, that's the sign of a good team, and Arizona's a really good team that is going to keep getting better and have a chance at the end of the year to do something special in a year where there's probably not a great team out there," Bilas told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo Wednesday.
Indeed the Wildcats, who are ranked fourth in the Associated Press Poll and fifth in the USA Today Coaches Poll, are looked at as one of the country's better teams. They appear to have the requisite size and depth to make a deep NCAA Tournament run, but what may set them apart is the leadership they receive from seniors like Mark Lyons, Solomon Hill and Kevin Parrom.
"I think Arizona's got all the pieces necessary to make a run later on in the season," Bilas said. "Looking nationally with the teams they're going to have to play and compete against once you get to the NCAA Tournament, I think this is one of those years where nobody's great and if you are healthy and playing well at the end of the year you're going to have a chance."

Some of you were put off by the fact that she chose such an elaborate gown for a daytime premiere, but the rest of us – who crave princess moments on the red carpet – instantly fell in love with her periwinkle-blue strapless gown.
When it came to the guys, our picks differed.

CATEGORIES MoviesSometimes, books just don't translate well onto the big screen. Want proof? Look no further than this week's release, "On the Road."
While you've got to give director Walter Salles ("The Motorcycle Diaries") credit for tackling such an ambitious project, his adaptation of Jack Kerouac's beloved classic just doesn't work. It's way too long, for one, clocking in over two hours.
But more importantly, it doesn't capture the essence of being on the road. Granted, that's a difficult thing to encapsulate on the big screen. It's certainly not easy to depict the moments of self-discovery that occur while gazing out of a car window deciding what to do with your life. That said, it seems as though the flick doesn't even try. Most of the travelling scenes are completely glossed over. Instead, we just see the characters jump from New York to San Francisco to Virginia and back again.
Naturally, there's a lot more to the book that just being on the road. The movie does try to capture the complex, life-changing relationships that Sal (Sam Riley) has, particularly with his best friend Dean (Garrett Hedlund) and Dean's free-lovin' girlfriend Marylou (Kristen Stewart). Even that feels a little superficial, though, and it's never entirely clear exactly why Sal puts up with all of the shit that he does.
All in all, the movie falls flat. It's a difficult novel to adapt, but then again, so is "Life of Pi," which Ang Lee managed to translate onto the big screen beautifully. On that note, it'd be fascinating to see what Lee would do with "On the Road." But I digress.
"On the Road" got me thinking about other disappointing adaptations that have hit the theaters over the years, so I've compiled a list of the five biggest misses in recent memory.
(Coincidentally, two of these stinkers ("The Time Traveler's Wife" and "The Other Boleyn Girl") star Eric Bana. We can't blame him, though. The books were good, so he had every reason to believe the movies had a solid foundation when he signed on.)
1. "Dreamcatcher". Not only is this a terrible adaptation of Stephen King's novel, it just may be one of the worst movies ever. It doesn't make any sense, and the aliens are funnier than they are terrifying. The only thing that makes this flick worth watching (aside from laughing at how ridiculous it is) is checking out a pre-"Homeland" Damian Lewis and a pre-"Justified" Timothy Olyphant.
2. "The Time Traveler's Wife". If I hadn't read Audrey Niffenegger's book before seeing the movie, I would have been completely lost. The movie zips through key plot points, and completely omits some of the book's finer points. Perhaps worst of all, it loses almost all of the book's nuanced tenderness in favor of over-the-top sappy romance.
3. "The Other Boleyn Girl." It's difficult to fathom how the filmmakers could take author Philippa Gregory's sexy, scandalous, backstabby material and turn it into such a snoozefest. Because really, a tale of two ruthless sisters who share a king (and an exciting king like Henry VIII, no less) shouldn't be this boring. 4. "The Scarlet Letter". If there was any question of whether Demi Moore could act or not before this adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic novel came out, this gave us a definitive answer: she cannot. In her other films like "St. Elmo's Fire" and "Disclosure," she could skate by on her looks and her sultry voice. A complex role like Hester, though, deserved an actress who could do her justice. This adaptation may not have been such an epic fail with a more capable actress in the lead.
5. "Memoirs of a Geisha." Arthur Golden's book is so good, it's only natural that a movie adaptation would be somewhat disappointing. While Rob Marshall's movie certainly isn't terrible, it just doesn't capture geisha Chiyo's inner turmoil. In fact, the movie makes being a geisha look kind of glamorous.
"On the Road" opens in limited release on January 18, 2013.

It's not official, but it sure looks like the Cleveland Indians will get Asdrubal Cabera's signature on a new two-year contract that will keep the shortstop under team control through the 2013 season.
Here's Paul Hoynes (via Cleveland.com):
The team has yet to confirm the extension, but another source did. The deal is reportedly worth $16.5 million. Cabrera signed a one-year, $4.55 million deal over the winter to avoid arbitration.
Cabrera, 26, is in his fifth big-league season. He would have been eligible for free agency after 2013. The two-year extension buys one year of Cabrera's free agency.
Cabrera broke through last season with 25 home runs and 92 RBI, but he did sacrifice some batting average and walks to gain that power. Which seems a good trade-off if he can maintain the power output.
Opinions about Cabrera's defense are uneven; while Ultimate Zone Rating and even Indians management suggest that Cabrera is adequate at best, the Fielding Bible describes Cabrera as "a slightly above-average defender for the Indians".
Either way, if Cabrera hits .308 with middling power (as in 2009) or .273 with good power (2011) he's worth well more than $8 million per season. So if he's healthy, this contract should be a bargain for the club, especially in 2013.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- The Ohio Department of Transportation is devoting extra attention to 133 highway and interstate bridges that are missing redundant support elements common in most other bridges.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/wLPfOA ) reports the spans classified as "fracture-critical" could collapse if their main supports buckled because they don't have the extra support features. Most of those bridges are older, but a few were built in the past 15 years.
ODOT structural engineering office administrator Tim Keller says the bridges require more rigorous inspections and maintenance but aren't inherently dangerous. He said such bridges get detailed visual inspections every two years that cost up to 10 times as much as inspections for other bridges.
The structures make up less than 1 percent of the more than 14,000 bridges along Ohio highways and interstates.

I am going to vote for Paul LePage in November, purely for selfish reasons.
I love my daughter, and my grandson is my world. I cannot fathom a day when I could not see him or play with him. I cannot imagine not being part of his achievements in life.
It would be sad for me to grow old without my family if they had to move out of state to make a decent living. I would be crushed if I could see my daughter and grandson only once a year, if that.
There are many families out there who have lost their children and grandchildren to different states.
Democrats have controlled Maine for more than 30 years, and the state has lost too many of our youths to their policies.
In November, I will vote for Paul LePage. I hope others will, to help my family stay in Maine.

Chicago has also seen the effects of Super-storm Sandy, which have caused a local set of problems - albeit in a less dramatic fashion.
SEE: PHOTOS: Fake Hurricane sandy pictures spread on internet
Hundreds of miles from its turbulent center, superstorm Sandy's outer bands were violent enough to rip up near-record high waves Tuesday on Lake Michigan, sending a community of avid surfers in Chicago into the cold, churning waters despite warnings from city officials. Wave heights out in the middle of the lake reached 20 feet, short of the 23-foot record set last year by a strong storm pushing down from Canada. The difference this time is the winds are from the edges of what had been a tropical storm, one vast enough to reach hundreds of miles inland.
"I was just sitting in the car and I figured you know what I got to try to capture some of this on video because the car is just shaking behind me so, it's pretty intense it's the biggest I've ever seen and I've lived in the region for 34 years," said David Roy who was at Miller Beach in Indiana.
Gary police patrolled the beachfront at Marquette Park shooing people away if they ventured over the dune. John Hojnacki got the warning from one of the officers, which came with good reason after an earlier incident.
"He was actually saying some people were down at the bottom and they had to rescue them so they didn't want anybody going down to the lower part of the sand," Hojnacki said.
By late afternoon the rain moved in, wetting the sand and keep it from blowing in people's faces, which made it a little easier for those who came to gawk.
Onlookers in Illinois ignored warnings from city officials to stay away. They came in droves to snap photos of this rare and intriguing site.
"Last year, with that huge storm coming through, I regretted it not coming out here. It was way too cold," said John Gusanders. "So today, I had to force myself out. I had to go out and take some pictures."
The strong winds made it a real challenge for people living and commuting along Lake Shore Drive, or uses the bike path for a morning workout.
Wind advisories and warning will drop at 7 p.m. Tuesday, after which the Chicago area will see winds at 20-30 mph and gusts 40-50 mph. Northwest Indiana saw gusts at 30-60 mph Tuesday. Winds are expected to be at 30-35 mph on Wednesday in the Chicago area.
The National Weather Service, which said winds could reach gale- or storm-force, has issued a lake-shore flood warning effective from now until 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Chicago police closed the bike path from Oak to Ohio at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. As of 7 a.m. Tuesday, Coast Guard officials said there have been no problems in the Southern Lake Michigan area.
The waves made by Lake Michigan started to whip up Tuesday morning, and came very close to the drive. Those who exercise along the lake are urged to change their path and stay away from the dangerous parts of the lakefront, including the piers and break walls. They are advised to dress warmly if they do plan on moving forward with their workout.
With the winds so strong due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy, high-rise residents are warned to secure or store any furniture or appliances on balconies.
Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications officials warned people to use common sense, stay off the lake and observe all barricades and warning signs.
"We always have to be concerned when there are high winds because frankly, there's one person we can't contain - and that's Mother Nature." OEMC Executive Director Gary Schenkel said. "If there are things that people have on the balconies or wherever that are not tied down, or not taken in - that could present a danger to someone below."
Wind conditions in Northwest Indiana canceled classes for at least one school, and the sand whipped into people's eyes on Miller Beach in Gary Tuesday morning. National Park Services also closed some parts of the Indiana Dunes.
SEE: Nat'l Park Services closes some Ind. Dunes access
The storm out east is still causing major headaches for air travelers all over the country.
Airlines have canceled nearly 500 additional flights between O'Hare and the east coast. Locally, some airlines are experiencing delays up to 90 minutes due to high wind conditions. At Midway, airlines are experiencing a few delays averaging 30 minutes and have canceled more than 75 flights.
If you are traveling by air, or picking someone up at the airport - make sure you call ahead to see the times and status of your flight.
Officials in many East Coast airports hope to re-open sometime on Wednesday. Even if that happens, it could take three to four days for the air travel system to return to normal.
Amtrak service has been suspended from Boston south to Raleigh, North Carolina, and from the East Coast to Chicago. Both O'Hare and Midway Airports reported normal operating conditions Tuesday morning, though hundreds flights to and from areas affected by the storm have been cancelled.
The Porter Beach (Wabash Avenue) parking lot, and the Mt. Baldy and Central Avenue access points to Lake Michigan will be closed because of expected high waves and possible flooding, according to a statement release by the city. The Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk site will be open, but the beach, breakwater and river-walk areas will be closed.
Waves and potential flooding have led to the closures of several areas in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore on Tuesday, according to the National Park Service.
Sandy's winds will shut down parts of Navy Pier Tuesday. The indoor options will be open, but the pier park area will be closed. You won't be able to ride the Ferris Wheel either. Mini golf will also be closed.
Navy Pier officials said they might get the park going again Wednesday, depending on weather conditions.
Tuesday's forecasted high winds have also forced the cancellation of a special event in downtown Chicago. The Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events announced the final day of the Frankenplaza at Daley Plaza has been canceled.
The city decided to cancel the downtown Halloween celebration because of "expected high winds," according to the statement. "All Halloween activities and tents will be removed for safety reasons."
The storm however, will not affect Chicago's water taxi service or tour boats on the Chicago River, according to a spokesman for Wendella Boat Tours, which also operates the taxis.
Evanston's dog beach will be also closed until further notice because of "dangerous high waves and winds," a statement from the city said.
The entire Eastern Seaboard is still feeling the effects of Hurricane Sandy as the storm quiets and move inland. Millions of people from North Carolina and West Virginia to Connecticut and Rhode Island have been impacted by the storm.
Super-storm Sandy is one of the biggest storms to ever hit the United States. This widespread super-storm earned its title along with high winds and steady rain it brought snowfall to parts of North Carolina and West Virginia.
East Coast residents dealt with high winds Tuesday, as they tried to wrap their minds around what they need to do to recover from the super-storm's damage.
They're dealing with extreme flooding, power outages, even snow in its wake. At least 34 people are dead, including an 8-year-old boy in Pennsylvania.
Storm damage costs are projected at $20 billion, meaning this could be one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
Chunks of a building came flying down in Atlantic City when the hurricane made landfall overnight in New Jersey carrying 80 mile per hour winds. The storm left many residents stranded.
FOX News correspondent Jennifer Davis reported on the latest damage around 7 a.m. Tuesday.
A New York City fire destroyed 50 homes. Nearly 200 firefighters are battling the six-alarm blaze in the Breezy Point neighborhood in Queens. The fire was reported at about 11:00 p.m. Monday. Two people are reported to have suffered minor injuries. The cause of the fire is not yet known.
Many are dealing with high winds and assessing damage from the super-storm that left flooding, power outages, even snow in its wake. A record 13 foot storm surge in lower Manhattan has left much of the area flooded.
Utility crews were forced to shut off power and a reported explosion at a substation has left thousands in the dark. Hundreds of patients at NYU Medical Center had to be evacuated after the facility's backup generator failed. ComEd expects it to last throughout Tuesday morning and possibly longer.
More than 8 million people are without power across the Northeast.
Floodwaters rushed into the subway across the Hudson in Hoboken, New Jersey. The storm created mass flooding and destroying a section of Atlantic City. Transit officials say in 108 years they have never faced anything like it.
A large tanker ship was washed ashore on Staten Island. The vessel stretches more than 200 ft. long - nearly half of it is on the beach. Storm surges near Staten Island were between 15 and 20 ft.
Governor Chris Christie spoke earlier on Tuesday, and said he hopes the worst is over.
"This has been a devastating storm, as bad as everybody projected it would be here in New Jersey," Christie said. "New Jersey probably took it in the neck worse than any other state. It made landfall her in New Jersey and our Jersey Shore is devastated. We have almost no power in the city of Newark because of the tidal surge up Raritan and Newark Bays that took out five electrical substations - 2.4 million households in New Jersey without any power today."
The Red Cross is contacting volunteers to send to the Northeast to help out in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, but there's no word yet on when volunteers will head out.
Volunteers who drive will likely see flooding aftermath as well.
Meanwhile, Sears has sent in 282 truckloads of merchandise, including chainsaws and generators to help out with clean up.
President Obama declared New York and New Jersey major disaster areas because of Super-storm Sandy on Tuesday.
His advice to those impacted was to listen to warnings from state and local officials, and keep themselves a safe as they can.
He's monitoring Sandy back at the White House, and has cancelled a Tuesday campaign appearance in Wisconsin. He will remain in Washington to monitor disaster response through at least Wednesday.
The president will travel to New Jersey to survey the storm damage with Gov. Christie and talk with impacted residents as well as first responders.
First Lady Michelle Obama remained in Chicago Tuesday, with no scheduled public events.
Mitt Romney also spoke on Sandy's impact at a campaign stop in Davenport, Iowa. He said the damage will be significant, and impact many families. He hopes voters' thoughts and prayers join his, and are of those impacted by the storm.
Iowa is one of the key battleground states in the 2012 election, which is only one week away. The latest polls show Romney trailing President Obama in Iowa by two percentage points.
Republican challenger Mitt Romney has also suspended all of his campaign operations.
In an interview with FOX News Channel, Governor Christie was also asked about Sandy's impact on the final week of campaigning. He wasn't too pleased about the question.
"I have a job to do here in New Jersey that's much bigger than presidential politics. I could care less about any of that stuff," Gov. Christie said. "I have a job to do. I have 2.4 million people out of power. I have devastation on the shore. I have floods in the northern part of my state. If you think right now I give a damn about presidential politics you don't know me."

South America makes up the southern half of the Americas and a large part of Latin America. It's home to the world's longest mountain range, biggest waterfall and largest river -- even these mammoths pale in comparison to the stunning variety of life forms thriving in the rainforest.
To the northwest, off the coast of Ecuador, lie the Galapagos Islands, which are unique for hosting species not found anywhere else on earth. These were the subject of study for Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, which he himself said will require proof in every single case.
The main languages in South America are Spanish and Portugese, which basically tells you which European countries colonized the place. The South American wars of independence took place over two decades in the early 19th century, led by Simon Bolivar of Venezuela and Jose san Martin of Argentina.
Following liberation from Portugal and Spain, South America took off into its own development, capitalizing on the rich deposits of oil, gold, copper, silver and tango musicians.
Brazil is the largest country in South America and home to one of the world's best parties, Carnaval. Have you heard of samba music? How about bossa nova? Maybe dancing for three days straight?
I can't say enough good things about South America. All the world's continents have amazing secrets and treasures laying in wait for your discovery, but in South America... just have a look at our pictures while you're waiting for online confirmation of your plane tickets to hit your inbox.

Lincoln Memorial - Security Improvements
(File Number 6265)
The Commission approved a security barrier line location that crosses Memorial Circle at Bacon and French Drives and descends the lower stairs to the level of the Reflecting Pool. NCPC provided several recommendations as the National Park Service continues to develop the barrier design. NCPC's suggestions include developing a design for the base of the lower stairs that preserves the integrity of the grass terraces; terminating the retaining wall east of Bacon and French Drives but before reaching the access ramps; and developing and testing a bollard that is appropriate for the setting. Before submitting additional plans to NCPC, the National Park Service should complete its NEPA review of the revised proposal and respond to public comments and questions on the environmental effects of the proposal.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Georgetown Waterfront Park - Preliminary Plans
(File Number 6383)
The Commission approved preliminary site development plans for the Wisconsin Avenue Terminus, which extends from the shoreline to K Street, under the Whitehurst Freeway. Plans for the park include a promenade along the river's edge; areas for interpretive displays; open lawn areas for passive recreation; and an interactive water feature. As part of its action, the Commission did not approve the proposed pergola design, pedestrian sidewalk, or multi-lamp Washington Globe at the Wisconsin Avenue park entrance.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Federal Capital Improvements Program
(File Number 1485)
The Commission authorized the circulation of the proposed Federal Capital Improvements Program (FYs 2006-2011) for review and comment by federal, regional, state, and local government agencies, interested organizations, and individuals. The draft FCIP contains 176 proposed projects at an estimated total cost of $6.1 billion. The Commission noted that the recently issued Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) recommendations have impacted the FCIP and, in particular, the information provided by the Department of Defense facilities. NCPC will continue to work with BRAC-impacted facilities as it prepares the final document.

The Federal Aviation Administration says authorities have located the wreckage of a small plane in west-central Arizona and all three people aboard died.
The Mohave County Sheriff's Office declined to provide any additional details of Wednesday's discovery near Alamo Lake.
The Civil Air Patrol had been searching for the single-engine Cessna 182 that took off Sunday evening from Glendale and headed to Lake Havasu City.
Local fire battalion chief Rick Felish says the plane was piloted by fire Capt. Don Mesisca, who had flown to Glendale for an Arizona Cardinals game with his wife Rosie and son, Brett.
Felish reported Mesisca missing Wednesday after he failed to show up for work.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor says no flight plan was filed and no emergency beacon activation has been detected.

Immigration & Naturalization Records
Immigration and Passenger Lists
Finding the arrival record of the immigrant ancestor is one of the more rewarding pursuits in family history research. It not only gives tangible evidence of the family's arrival in the United States or Canada, but can also lead to fruitful research in records from the native country.
Researchers may wish to search in ANSWER, the Archives' online catalog available at answercat.org. A keyword search using the phrase "index passenger lists" or "baltimore passenger" will yield the most number of relevant hits. Please contact the Archives for more information or assistance with accessing these records.

Naturalization Records
Naturalization, the legal procedure of an immigrant becoming a citizen, can offer the family history researcher critical clues and key information on an ancestor's life in the native country. Depending on the time period, these records can reveal the immigrant's exact place of birth, date and port of arrival in the United States, and detailed information on a spouse and children. With the changes in the U.S. federal naturalization laws, however, records created before 1906 will not be as genealogically significant as those filed after. Remember, too, that not all immigrants chose to become U.S. citizens.
The Archives of Michigan holds naturalization records from the Michigan counties listed below. Counties with online indexes are indicated in the table and can be view on our website on our Index page. Indexes for other counties may be available in the Archives of Michigan reading room.
County Circuit Courts
[table "" not found /]
Other Courts
Note that an ancestor could have filed papers in different federal, county, or local courts through the process of naturalization. Naturalization papers filed in Michigan can be found in federal district courts, county circuit courts, or in Detroit's case, the Detroit Recorder's Court. Researchers should therefore be prepared to look in several places or courts to find an ancestor's naturalization record.
U.S. District Court
The National Archives Great Lakes Regional Branch in Chicago holds the following records from U.S. District Courts in Michigan. Citations from the ancestry.com naturalization indexes refer to these federal records and, therefore, are not available at the Archives of Michigan.

Information Found in Naturalization Records
Declarations of Intention
As their name implies, declarations of intention are written statements of someone's desire to become a U.S. citizen. Prior to 1907, information listed on declarations of intention was limited to date, name of individual, and country of origin. After 1906, the forms give much more information, including age, occupation, race, complexion, height, weight, color of hair and eyes, distinctive marks, date of birth, residence, date and place of departure, means of transportation to the U.S., port of arrival, and oath. Alphabetical name indexes are at the front of each volume.
Petitions and Records
Petitions from aspiring citizens are formal requests to be granted citizenship after all requirements have been met. Before 1907, the petition and record offers only date, name of individual, country of origin, names of witnesses, and oath. After 1906, the forms also provide residence, occupation, date and place of birth, date and place of emigration, means of travel to the U.S., date and place of immigration, date and place declaration filed, names of spouse and children, their places of birth and residence, length of time in Michigan, names of witnesses, plus their occupations and residence. Alphabetical name indexes are at the front of each volume.
Court Orders
The court orders are documents prepared twice a year that identify those persons who have qualified for U.S. citizenship. These papers are the judge's order granting petitions for naturalization, and simply list date and name of individual.
Certificates of Naturalization
Certificates of naturalization give number, name, age, date of transaction, place and date where the declaration of intention was filed, date and place where the petition was filed, date and place where the order was filed, and residence of each. The Archives of Michigan holds few certificates of naturalization.
Other Resources
The Abrams Foundation Historical Collection also has an impressive collection of naturalization records, indexes, and abstracts from across the United States. Be sure to utilize ANSWER, the Archives' online catalog available at answercat.org . A creative search using the phrase "naturalization [county name]" will yield the most number of relevant hits.

Three graduated pearls are joined by short strands of 14k white gold chain. The effect is a graceful dangle that is just the right length.
Love the design of these graduated pearl drop earrings and the length is perfect. The earring backs are a tad smaller than ideal.
Anonymous, New York, NY – May 2014
I purchased these earrings for my wedding and they are absolutely perfect. They are elegant and timeless - just what I was looking for!
Anonymous, Narberth, PA – March 2014
Very satisfied with the earrings. We will be back to buy more in the future!
