Premier Christy Clark is in Kamloops Friday night to roast out-going MLA Kevin Krueger, and is meeting with southern Asians and seniors Saturday morning before moving on.
Clark's Interior trip starts today with a trip up the North Thompson to Clearwater, where she will cut the ribbon on Evergreen Acres Senior Citizens Housing Society, an affordable housing development for seniors and people with disabilities.
From there, she comes to Kamloops to attend Krueger's political retirement dinner. While the long-time Kamloops politician isn't packing it in until the spring election, he's being roasted early because the election campaign will be too busy.
On Saturday, Clark is scheduled to be at the Spice Restaurant where she'll meet and greet with some of the city's southeast Asian community. Then she heads to the seniors' drop-in centre in Brocklehurst.
That ends her Kamloops leg of her visit. From there, she heads to Salmon Arm.

Bexleyheath knife murder: Nurses fired for lying how they chased killer Nicola Edgington
Updated 5:46pm Thursday 7th February 2013 in News By Tim MacFarlan, reporter
TWO nurses were sacked for lying about their conduct on the morning of Nicola Edgington's murderous Bexleyheath rampage.
The 32-year-old was convicted at the Old Bailey this afternoon of murdering Sally Hodkin, 58, and attempting to murder then 22-year-old Kerry Clark in the town centre on the morning of October 10, 2011.
Afam Obosi and Alhaji Mansaray were fired from their jobs as mental health nurses at the Oxleas unit in Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Woolwich after giving an inquiry false accounts of how they chased after Edgington when she fled the unit through a door which was meant to be locked.
The mental patient absconded without warning at 7am while waiting to be admitted to Oxleas and CCTV footage showed neither Obosi or Mansaray went after her. An employment tribunal in August 2012 found the pair were not unfairly dismissed.
The head of Oxleas NHS Trust has apologised to Mrs Hodkin's family over the incident.
Chief executive Stephen Firn said: "I am very sorry that this tragic incident happened and would like to express again my sincere condolences to the family of Mrs Hodkin.
"It is a matter of extreme regret that she was able to leave the unit before being admitted and subsequently carried out this dreadful crime."
An inquiry conducted by the trust concluded the decision to recommend to the Ministry of Justice Edgington be discharged from the secure Bracton Centre in Dartford in 2009 was sound.
She subsequently lived at Ambedkar House, Flavell Mews in Greenwich and received community care.
Mr Firn added: "The report makes several recommendations which have all been put into place and reviewed regularly by the board of directors.
"In line with national NHS requirements there will now be an independent inquiry."

(b) maybe if they HAD stopped her, the nice lady from Bexleyheath may still be here with her family, so in a sense they're as responsible for her untimely death as the nutter herself.
The mental health system is screwed, so how many more people will be murdered until something is done?
As for her punishment she should be given a lethal injection, not 2yrs in a nice warm nut-house then re-released into general population.

Things I liked:Out standing fit and finish, deep bluing and beautiful wood finish. The thumbhole stock has a nice feel, perfect for a lefty like my self. The cocking lever is smooth and effortless. Accuracy is astounding with JSB Match Diabolo 18.13 gr. 70 yard groups can be covered by a dime. Great rifle.
Things I would have changed:Not a thing.
What others should know:Definitely well worth the price. You won't be disappointed in this one.
Things I liked:HW100T FSB .177 is 5 stars. However, arrived with all the accessories but the stock was scuffed and bruised. Fingerprints all over the metal. Like it was a demo. No protection on website purchases for that. Except sellers reputation. Took 1 day sanding and 3 days for finish. Shouldn't have had to do that. When you pay this kind of money, item should be new. So value for money 3 stars. Dissatisfied experience- 1 star.
Things I liked:Very high quality rifle and shoulders great. Fit finish is fantastic.
Things I would have changed:Make the grip smaller, I ended up returning mine because the grip was so big. I don't have small hands either, can palm a basket ball since Jr. High but felt the grip is just too large in diameter. Feels thick like a double stack .45acp magazine on a pistol. Also the grove/ridge for your index/trigger finger isn't ergonimical either the ridge part dug into the palm side knuckle of my index.
What others should know:Didn't shot it just looked over it and shoulder it and felt that it didn't fit my hand right so returned it. PA was great about it.

Contact: Gail Dana-Sacco, 581-1417
ORONO — Gail Dana-Sacco, Ph.D, director of the University of Maine's Wabanaki Center, has been selected as a fellow in the 2009 Daniel Hanley Center for Health Leadership program, a mentorship program established to identify and train emerging leaders in the field of health across the state.
The program is designed to help prepare a small select group of highly experienced leaders to effect substantive change in health and health care systems in Maine, according to the Portland-based Hanley Center. Mentors are selected from a pool of distinguished leaders from Maine's health and healthcare communities and other professions.
Dana-Sacco was selected for the program because of her experience, leadership qualities, and "her strong commitment to decreasing health disparities facing Native Americans and other underserved populations in Maine," according to Sean Hanley, M.D., chair of the Hanley Center Board of Directors.
Daniel Hanley was head physician at Bowdoin College for 33 years and served as executive director of the Maine Medical Association. Also an internationally known sports medicine physician, he served as chief physician of the United States Olympic team from 1964-1972 and was a member of the International Olympic Medical Commission.

Recent Acquisitions
This exhibition presents new gifts and museum purchases added to the permanent collection at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum of Rollins College during the last two years. With an emphasis on American photography and contemporary art, works by Margaret Bourke-White, Andy Warhol, Matthew Brandt, and Felraih Hines will be featured. In particular, two recent acquisitions by the Los Angeles-based artist Ramiro Gomez will be highlighted. In his dynamic drawings, Gomez deals with issues such as labor and commercialism. In recent years, the museum has experienced tremendous growth of its permanent collection, and this exhibition serves as a testament to this groundbreaking expansion.

Allure of Ancient Rome: Old Master Prints and Drawings from the Permanent Collection
Showcasing a selection of prints, drawings, and an illustrated book from the Cornell's permanent collection, this exhibition highlights the cultural and artistic significance of Roman antiquities in Europe since the Renaissance. The theme of the exhibition sheds light on the crucial role played by printed images in the dissemination of knowledge about Roman antiquities and coincides with the long-term loan of a Roman sarcophagus to the Cornell. The selected works, dating between 1540 and 1750, represent Roman stories, sculpted artifacts, or buildings. While some of the works were shown in recent years, others have rarely been displayed.

Conversations: Selections from the Permanent Collection
Conversations: Selections from the Permanent Collection, aims to inspire dialogues about works of art created during disparate time periods and among various cultures. To draw new relationships, the collection's favorites are brought together under four broad thematic categories: Religion Redefined, Gesture and Pose, A Sense of Place, and History and Myth. The four groupings outlined here suggest some universal themes that have persisted throughout the history of art.
Religion Redefined includes traditional religious imagery as well as more contemporary art that relies upon and questions conventional religious symbols and concepts. For centuries religious art has been commissioned for shrines, tombs, churches, and domestic spaces in diverse societies. The persistent effects of religion are reflected in twentieth-century art, too.
The section of Gesture and Pose presents historical portraiture and demonstrates how the movement of an arm or the positioning of a figural form can have dramatic consequences for a given composition and its interpretation.
A Sense of Place examines the fundamental ways in which various sites have inspired generations of artists. Both urban and rural environments are represented here and singular works offer opportunities to look at the roles of foreign locales and famous locations as catalysts for creative production.
Lastly, History and Myth implies that these two broad categories are inherently intertwined and the specific works on display are expressions of that fact.
While these sections help to map the permanent collection, they are fluid, and certain works could find a home in multiple categories.

Disney in 2:56
I've been super lazy about posting our trip to Disney, and i know you guys are desperately wanting to hear! But i will spare you all the gory details about the 90 degree weather and all the fun we had and just give you a quick summary and 2:56 video.
PACKING: Can i just say how much i hate packing!!! Why do kids require you pack up the whole house just to go on a 5 day trip!?!
AIRPLANE: Plane ride there was OK. Cosby did great. Clover was exhausted. I was kinda of car sick… or plane sick, i guess. Margie and Libby were so excited to be going on a trip with their children. (They asked us of we'd leave the grandkids at home because the trip was really about Joe and me but i somehow convinced them to let us take the kids, they do have free park admission after all.)
DAY 1- Seaworld: Cosby was so exhausted from the trip down here that he only semi enjoyed sea world but i would say it was a pleasant experience. We got more plastic animals for him in the gift shop, which he desperately needs. Clover was indifferent and happy as usual. Joe, as usual, happy but seemingly indifferent. I was super excited to for Cosby to see the animals and would have loved to have gotten some pictures of me and Cosby feeding the sting rays but mom had my camera and only took pictures of herself
DAY2- Magic Kingdom: We've heard over and over that the Magic Kingdom is so very… magical. And it is, if you like waiting in long lines in the hot sun and trying to keep your bus of a stroller from hitting the enormous amounts of people, so very magical. In all seriousness though, it was very nostalgic. And turns out that the kids didn't mind waiting in the lines and we had a wonderful day seeing the kingdom. And i would like to shed some light on a certain event that several people have called me out on. On a certain boat home, i put up a Facebook status and picture that said "On the fairy home" and i just wanted to clarify that i did indeed mean fairy. Trust me, I got D+'s in spelling… fairy.
DAY 3- Univeral Studios: I LOVE when decisions start with the phrase " Karly you decide, we can do whatever you want." This made me think of my dear friend Andy who always sings to me "Whatever Karly wants…da da da…Karly gets." This may be somewhat true but i think generally it's because i'm the only one with a strong opinion, either that or no one wants to hear me whine, but i'm not sure. So Karly decided to go to universal because she oh so wanted to see the TRULY magical world of Harry Potter. And boy was i happy with her decision! Universal was a blast. Everyone had an amazing time! Cosby got to see the land of Dr Seuss and the Dinosaurs and Joe and i got to see the Wizzarding World of Harry Potter and the grandma's had fun because they got to be with the grand babies. My favorite part of the day (i'm not sure why i think this kind of stuff is funny, because it really isn't) was when my mom threw up on the Harry Potter ride… not once but thrice. I'm so glad she's has a good sense of humor, because i would have felt terrible for laughing so much if she didn't.
DAY 4- Animal Kingdom: Well this place was great! The weather was great, the animals were great, the kids were great! We went on an african safari. We got to see a 4D bugs life movie (that literally made Cosby piss himself and is still so scarred from it that he won't step foot in a regular theater). We did a dinosaur dig. And best of all it wasn't crowded! If we do another Disney trip, it will most certainly be this same time of year!
DAY 5- Going Home: We were so sad to leave, we had such a great time! We packed our stuff up and headed to the airport to come home. The kids were great on the flight home. The only eventful things worth noting is I was "randomly" selected for additional security screening at the airport….agh!! i knew i should have checked my knife stash.
There you have it folks! And here's 300 some pictures in 2:56….enjoy!

NBC says it's planning a 12-day-long, around-the-clock competition show to air this fall.
The network said Wednesday that the trivia-based game show, "The Million Second Quiz," will air live in prime time from a specially built studio in the heart of Manhattan. This hourglass-shaped complex will also serve as the living quarters of the four finalists.
When the 12 days - or 1 million seconds - draw to a close, the winner could claim a cash prize of as much as $10 million.
Viewers will be able to play along in real time and sync to the prime-time broadcast.
NBC's president of alternative and late night programming calls the show "a game, a social experiment and a live interactive event."
The network didn't announce a premiere date.

Quincy McDuffie ran for three touchdowns and Blake Bortles threw for two scores to lead Central Florida to a 49-24 win over Alabama-Birmingham on Saturday.
With the win, UCF (9-3, 7-1) clinched Conference USA's East Division title and will face Tulsa in the conference championship game next Saturday. McDuffie had scoring runs of 9, 8 and 43 yards in his final home game for Central Florida.
Bortles, who completed 17 of 23 for 225 yards, hit J.J. Worton with scoring passes of 18 and 4 yards. Lyle Dankenbring returned an interception 78 yards for a score as the Knights took advantage of numerous Blazer mistakes to jump out to a 35-10 halftime lead.
"We did what we had to do, took advantage of some opportunities and it was a good day offensively," UCF coach George O'Leary said. .
Jonathan Perry threw for 307 yards, two touchdown passes and a rushing score for UAB (3-9, 2-6).
UAB outgained UCF 322-237 in the first half, but three drives inside the Knights' 20-yard line ended with no points. The Blazers lost a fumble at the UCF 1-yard line; failed to convert a fourth-and-1 at the UCF 9; and Austin Brown threw an interception with UAB at the Knights' 14.
"Anytime you get into the red zone and don't come away with points, it's going to be a factor," UAB coach Garrick McGee said. "But I don't know if we played well enough to beat a team that was as sharp and razor focused as UCF was. We're learning that you have to be on your `A' game to compete when a team is flying around and making plays like UCF did."
McDuffie, who plays wide receiver, scored all three of his touchdowns on end-around plays. The senior ran six times for 79 yards. Tailback Latavius Murray had 94 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown as the Knights rolled up 229 yards rushing.
"I'm happy for Quincy, he had a great day," O'Leary said. "That last (scoring) play, I don't think they saw him until he was 40 yards down the field. All the plays were well blocked by our offensive line and Quincy's execution was outstanding."
Perry took over at quarterback after Brown's interception and promptly hit Patrick Hearn with a 76-yard touchdown pass just before halftime. The Blazers backup added a 2-yard scoring run in the third period and a 15-yard scoring pass to Darrin Reaves in the fourth that cut UAB's deficit to 42-24 with 10:22 left in the game.
The Blazers recovered the ensuing onside kick, but Kennard Blackman dropped a pass from Perry on fourth-and-two at the UCF 23-yard line and the rally died.

RESEARCH: China spirit slide still bodes well for importers
By just-drinks.com editorial team | 16 February 2007
A decline in the core spirits market in Asia should not be seen as a deterrent to international alcoholic drinks companies from entering the market, if the findings of a recent report on the Chinese market for beers, wines and spirits, published by Access Asia, are anything to go by.
According to the report Alcoholic Drinks in China: A Market Analysis, the core market for spirits has declined markedly in recent years but this has been due to consumers moving away from traditional spirits, and switching primarily for health reasons to beer.
Although the total spirits market declined in value by 12.82% between 2000 and 2006, this was largely due to the continued slide in sales of mass-market domestic grain spirits, the report states. Indeed, such spirits represented 22.1% of total value sales in 2006, having declined from as much as 60.9% in 2000. So the market still supports some large companies, competing for an increasingly high-end market, the report contends.
Taken as a whole, the report says, the Chinese alcoholic drinks market is both large, and still growing rapidly. The increased number of drinking outlets, especially bars and nightclubs, as well as restaurants, have helped to increase market penetration for all alcoholic drinks. In addition, the spread of organised retail chains has helped to provide greater market penetration for the home consumption market. In addition, Chinese consumers are becoming more sophisticated, and highly brand conscious.
The Chinese beer market has grown at an astounding pace in recent years, the report goes on to say, spurred on by the massive levels of foreign investment in the market, along with the rise in the average levels of consumer spending in China, thanks to the economic reform policies of the government.
Total consumption of beer grew by 33.56% between 2000 and 2006 to reach 30.47bn litres, and China has now overtaken the US to become the largest national beer market in the world.
Wine is also beginning to gain greater consumer acceptance. The influence of Western eating and drinking habits has been key to this evolution, as have rising average incomes in China. Indeed, wine is now becoming the fashionable drink for the wealthy younger generations in China's cities, and the "badge" drink of China's wealthiest élite. The value of the market has more than doubled over the last five years.

Once UFC heavyweight champ and all-around nutcase Bas Rutten will teach you how to survive in the streets, arming you with death-blows and gut-busters. Wednesdays at 9:30pm E/P starting November 2nd on FUEL TV.
best show of all time da dang
i9f he goes around beating up real punks it'd be awesome, but im reasonably sure its illegal and ya cant film it
just sign this form here and then we'll all get started
god could you imagine f****** with bas and not having a clue who he was!!!?
I would give both my nuts to watch this guy fight again.
"Everybody underestimate the kick in the groin"
"I'm sorry…BANG…No I'm not"
These quotes are the most awespme ever
LOL this guy is a character
love this guy…the show is long overdue if ya ask me
da danga da danga da dang
It's all in the "Big Book of Combat". Bas is my hero.
@Axe Murderer – You should give both your knees, instead, and you may get your wish.♠
Bas whoopin ass!
It would be really funny if he actually punked some loudmouth starstruck people like Seagal…
Imagine showing up in one of Seagal's training sessions in disguise and… well, you can imagine the rest.
Actually, I would love that someone would go back doing what Royce Gracie used to do. Just knock on some "black belt" of some crazy-named "martial art" door and say: Why don't you show me how it would work in a real fight?
That would be a TV show I would watch, but it would probably be illegal in most places. Both Discovery and the History channels tried to do that, but still had too many rules to protect the fighters.
Well, MMA is slowly forcing some con artists to actually learn some fighting skills, I think. People are getting less gullible.
I'm pertty sure this is just a spin on that self defense dvd he let out a few years ago. And to think that he wasn't even supposed to film that.
lol what a crazy ahole, he cracks me up.
Bas is the man. He and Quadros should replace Goldie and Stoner Rogan in the UFC booth.
This is just and extended version of his original video. Noting new here, just a bunch of "BAM kick him in the groin, BOOM smash the head" I wont be tuning in.
I'm just sending a dream into the universe but wouldn't it be amazing to see Bas Rutten fight Kung Lee? I would love to see that one. We miss you Bas, that last fight against the impossible to KO fat guy was just such a tease.
C'mon El Guapo return to the cage, even if it is to fight some young up and comers with big hopes and dreams! You retired too damn early, and we all know Randleman beat you anyways…
I love Bas Rutten and the original street fighting video, but why the hell is he following in Mayhem Miller's Bully Beatdown footsteps? Lame.
Punk Payback? Rofl
Such a shameless rip off of Bully Beatdown, even using the alliteration. I'll still probably watch this just becasue it stars Bas.
@ Brucelee23 you are half right sir. Bas and Rogan = Best combo ever. Curb stomp Goldie
Bas, great fighter , very funny too. However, I cannot forget how he lost to Kevin Randleman and was corruptly awarded the victory by the UFC, that was just wrong, it was robbery, plain and simple. Some of us will not forget Bas.

The JU women's soccer team will take on the #1 seed and Atlantic Sun Tournament host on Friday night at 7 p.m. when they travel to Fort Myers, Fla. to play the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles.
One thing is for certain when fifth seeded Dolphins take on the Eagles Friday night, there will be a winner. The two teams have tied in four consecutive matches dating back to 2009.
In their regular season matchup back on October 7, both teams were held to just one goal. Senior Eva Leeper came in off the bench and scored the Dolphins lone goal.
To reach the second round of the tournament and earn the right to play the top-seeded Eagles, JU traveled to Johnson City, Tenn. to take on the NCAA's leading scorer Ramey Kearns and the rest of the ETSU Bucs. Kearns, fresh off being named the conference player of the year, added another goal to her nation-leading total, but her efforts were not enough. The Dolphins prevailed in overtime off of Kaitlyn Bassett's second goal of night. The 2-1 victory put the Dolphins into the second round of the conference tournament for the second time in the last two seasons.
The Eagles are led by first team All-Conference member Shannen Wacker who has notched ten goals on the season and an impressive 23 points.
Fans interested in attending the match can purchase tickets at the gate. The cost is $6 for adults and $3 for children. Students with a valid A-Sun school ID can get in for free.
For fans not able to attend the game, live stats will be made available on judolphins.com as well as a live streaming feed on ASun.tv.

Ah, 2009. It feels like only yesterday that I watched a stunned Chelsea side gape as Andrés Iniesta's outside the box blast sailed past Petr Chech's outstretched arms. The tabloids in Spain--bastions of journalistic quality--dubbed the shot, and everything that had happened prior to it, the Iniestazo--golazo, but with the little Spaniard's name appended.
It seems like an apt description of the event, though I might change one thing. I'd probably call it the Ovrebazo, replacing Spain's World Cup hero (he has better things to be known for than this--you know, like scoring a World Cup winning goal), and give the honor to Norwegian referee Tim Henning Ovrebo, who conceded an interview to ESPN recently where he admitted that his mistakes "cost Chelsea in 2009."
Here's a little background for the unfamiliar: the 2009 semifinal between Barcelona and Chelsea was a tense tie. The Pep Guardiola Barcelona, in what was arguably their signature season, were looking at the brink of elimination, and were being outplayed by Guus Hiddink's Chelsea. After a chippy affair, Chelsea held a one goal aggregate advantage in Stamford Bridge; then, the Iniestazo, which put the Blaugrana through on away goals.
Earlier in the match, Ovrebo missed three perfectly clear penalties on Barcelona that would have given Chelsea an express path to the final. Each was more clear than the previous one. And he knows it: he still "gets death threats" from irate Chelsea fans.
Despite how memorable that match was, I think it's safe to say that neither side would enjoy a repeat performance. And for our sake--you know, the "unbiased" supporters--it would be better to never have to witness that again.
We'll have continuous pre-game updates and live game coverage in our Chelsea vs. Barcelona, UEFA Champions League Semifinals StoryStream. For more on the two teams, head over to Chelsea FC blog We Ain't Got No History and FC Barcelona blog Barca Blaugranes.

CATEGORIES DVDsThere's plenty of action on the small screen this week courtesy of three theatrical releases wending their way to DVD. Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' is an all-out assault on the World War II epic, kicking up the revenge flick several notches. 'The Hangover' rolls the dice on three lost souls in Las Vegas and comes up with a 7-11 natural. And a team of rodents get the James Bond treatment in the CGI-animated/live action 'G-Force.' 'Inglourious Basterds'
What It's About: Quentin Tarantino's imaginative and comedic take on World War II has a group of Jewish soldiers relentlessly killing Nazis in German-occupied France. Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes the group, whose targeted acts of brutal retribution -- and their scalping of dead soldiers -- wins them the name "The Basterds." The film, organized in Tarantino's trademarked chapter structure -- begins with Shosanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent) witnessing the execution of her family at the hands of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) before narrowly escaping to Paris. Elsewhere, Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. It all converges in a Paris cinema, where Tarantino choreographs a wild ending.
It's Kinda Like: 'Pulp Fiction' meets 'The Dirty Dozen'
What We Say: Tongue-in-check, violent and -- well, downright brilliant -- this is one of the best Tarantino films in years -- and one of the best films of 2009. The real stars of the tale aren't the Basterds nor Pitt, but Waltz (who has been racking up critics group nods for Best Supporting Actor) and Laurent and Kruger.
'The Hangover'
What It's About: It's a raunchy, crude, bathroom humor comedy told in flashbacks. Two days before his wedding, Doug and his three friends drive to Las Vegas for a blow-out bachelor party they'll never forget. But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning, they can't remember a thing. They find a tiger in the bathroom and a six-month-old baby in the closet ... but no Doug. With little time to spare, the trio must retrace their hazy steps in order to figure out where things went wrong and get Doug back to L.A. in time to walk down the aisle.
It's Kinda Like: 'American Pie' meets 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' meets 'Very Bad Things' meets 'What Happens in Vegas' ... well, you get the idea
What We Say: The sleeper hit of 2009 is sordid, perverse and funny in a twisted sort of way. It's exhilarating in its nastiness and throws more curve balls (and goof balls) at you than Steve Carlton. It makes 'Borat' and 'Bruno' look like the Bobbsey Twins.
What It's About: CGI animated/live-action comedy adventure about a top-secret, highly trained group of guinea pig super spies assigned to stop a dastardly plot to take over the world. The animals -- armed with the latest high-tech spy equipment -- are the latest evolution of a covert government program to train animals to work in espionage. But, naturally, the group is disbanded before they can accomplish their mission, and they have to escape to save the world.
It's Kinda Like: 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' meet 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'
What We Say: An entertaining movie for the kids but wearisome for adults. This is producer Jerry Bruckheimer's first stab at PG-rated kids fare and he must have spiked the animators' coffee with Ritalin, thinking his audience all had ADD. Unfortunately, the frenetic, manic action can't make up for a lack of characterization and plot. But hey, who cares, it'll keep the young ones busy for a good 88 minutes.
Other New December 15 DVD Releases:
'Taking Woodstock'
'The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard'

Scooby, you got time for breakfast? Sure, Scooby Wright said, he had time for the head football coach and the defensive coordinator from the University of Arizona. How about Monday morning? Sure, Scooby said. Great, said head coach Rich Rodriguez. Jeff Casteel and myself will fly up early morning on the school's Lear jet. I live near the Charles Schulz airport, Scooby said. I'll come by pick you up. My mom, Annette, makes a great breakfast and I'll tell you how I got the name Scooby.
OK, OK, the only thing untrue about the previous paragraph was the Scooby part.
This is what it's like to feel wanted in intercollegiate athletics.
The Arizona coaches certainly didn't have to do it. Wright, the Cardinal Newman linebacker, verbally committed to the Pac-12 school months ago, on June 23. In the intervening eight months, Wright never wavered in his promise. His official visit to the Tucson campus on January 11th reconfirmed what he experienced on his unofficial visit last June 18. Wright had weekly e-mail correspondence with an Arizona coach. If Wright had a head cold, Arizona would have flown up some Kleenex on the Lear. Yes, Wright was a done deal. Yet Arizona wanted to solidify the love, the Wildcats liked him so much.
Arizona knew Wright had been gathering attention. If he hadn't committed verbally so early, Wright said, 10-15 schools already had professed a serious interest and would have made a push for him, among them Boise State, Oregon, Northwestern, Cal, Utah, UNLV and San Diego State.
On January 16th, Casteel flew up to have dinner with Wright at the La Gare restaurant in Santa Rosa. And this time Casteel flew commercial! No more compelling statement on a D1 university's commitment can be made.
Unless the school's entire football coach staff greets you when you arrive on campus.
That happened as well. On June 18 last year Wright went down with his folks on an unofficial visit to Arizona. As Wright emerged from the taxi and walked toward the football office. Rodriguez and his 11 assistants were waiting for him.

Imagine Home Furnishings by Davis has new name, new line
September 7, 2012-- Furniture Today,
WEST POINT, Miss. — Imagine Home Furnishings by Davis is the new name of the former Davis International, according to Hunter Davis, CEO of the full-line manufacturer.
Davy Crockett
Lee Scott
Davis also announced the additions of industry veterans Lee Scott and Davy Crockett to the executive team.
"Because of recent changes in the way we're thinking about our manufacturing division, we decided to update the name with something fresh and powerful," Davis said.
He said Imagine Home Furnishings is focusing on original design and increased cost-effective manufacturing in both case goods and upholstery under the guidance of Crockett and Terry Furr. Crockett is in charge of the upholstery line and joined Davis after retiring from Southern Motion. Furr is in charge of case goods.
Scott joined Davis as head of the sales force. He has 17 years of industry experience, most recently as vice president of sales for Harden Mfg.
Although they started working at the company earlier this year, Scott and Crockett will make their first joint High Point Market appearance in October.
"All of us here at Davis welcome the experience and expertise of both these guys," said Hunter Davis. "They hit the ground running and what they've done so far is going to make this a very exciting market."
"We've concentrated on putting together a sales team that is customer-oriented," Scott said. "These are guys who know their lines and know their customers. It's a winning combination."
Although a few pieces remain from the previous Davis International line, 80% of the showroom will feature new original designs from Crockett and Furr.
Crockett said that designing product is "what I love to do most. It's about putting the whole package together and seeing if the salespeople and retailers 'get it.'"
In High Point, Davis shows in Center Point on Russell, space 100.

Suzzoom, the laws are in place. Enforcing them is a different matter. It isn't easy to do. Sadly, the most effective way is to make the truckers and their employers feel it is in their best interest to follow the laws and that is usually done through many lawsuits.

MENARD-HODGES SITE Page 7
United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service
National Register of Historic Places Registration Form
this later period constructed houses to the south of the large
mound to form a typical Mississippian Period ceremonial mound
center where the temple mound and houses are grouped around a
central plaza.
The Quapaw Indians were a Siouan-speaking people, whose oral
traditions, and material culture indicates they originated to the
north or northwest and moved into the area shortly before contact
with Europeans. Ford, however, believes that this is "most
unlikely, for the [Quapaw] culture is basically of the local
Mississippian pattern" (1961:182). He indicated that "...when
the degree of resemblance to the cultures of the Memphis and St.
Francis [River Valley of Arkansas] areas is considered, the
southward movement recorded in the Quapaw legends may stem only
from those regions" (1961:182).
Historical Background: Henri de Tonty, who founded the Arkansas
Post, at the Quapaw Indian village of Osotouy, on the lower
Arkansas River, first came to the New World with his fur trading
partner Robert LaSalle and 30 other Frenchmen in the year 1678.
LaSalle and de Tonty had a royal commission to establish fur
trading posts in the Illinois River Valley and in other areas
they might discover (Sauer 1980:149). Interested in expanding
their fur trading empire LaSalle and de Tonty travelled down the
Mississippi River, reaching its mouth on April 9, 1682. Here
LaSalle christened the land Louisiana, which he claimed for the
French king (Sauer 1980:150).
While de Tonty established a fur trading post of Fort Saint
Louis, at Starved Rock, Illinois, LaSalle returned to France in
1683. LaSalle hoped to get royal permission to establish a town
at the mouth of the Mississippi as an anchor to extend French
control throughout the Mississippi up through Canada. LaSalle
hoped that a colony on the Mississippi would allow him to attack
Spanish possessions in a manner similar to the French colony on
Hispaniola that preyed on Spanish treasure ships (Sauer 1980:156-
159) .
By the following year (1686) de Tonty travelled to the mouth of
the Mississippi River in an unsuccessful attempt to find LaSalle,
who was to establish a base near Galveston, Texas. On the return
trip to Illinois, de Tonty left six of his men in the charge of
Jean Couture to establish a small trading post at Osotouy, a
Quapaw village (Ford 1961:137). On his third attempt to reach
the Mississippi, in 1687, from his base in Texas, LaSalle was
killed by members of his expedition. Seven members of the
LaSalle party continued on until they reached the south bank of
the Arkansas River where they found the Arkansas Post built by
Couture the previous year. One of the LaSalle party, Henri
Joutel, would continue up the Mississippi to the Great Lakes and
back to France via Canada where he wrote an account of the
LaSalle expedition. Joutel's description of the Arkansas Post is
the key to the argument that the Menard-Hodges Site is the Quapaw
village of Osotouy.

Serious Stages supplied one of their 25m two-bay Space Roofs for the main stage at the new Hedgestock Festival at Knebworth House, complete with 8.4m wide x 15m high video and PA wings.
The exclusive two-day corporate event with music–headlined by The Who as part of their Teenage Cancer Trust work–describes itself as a "festival of networking" for the Hedge Fund Industry–with the adage "because conventions don't have to be conventional."
The target clientele were some of the brightest financial brains in the country, and the event received a great amount of commercial and investment bank interest and sponsorship. Much effort therefore went into providing the very best of production values for a rock concert.
Production manager Nick Fisher coordinated the supply of all the technical production and infrastructure, which also included Entec (sound) and PRG (lighting) for event organizers Albourne Partners. Aleksis Zarins led the Serious team of 20 crew and riggers.
The site build started 14 days in advance and was completed in two sections–with Serious's modular black decking going in first. The stage was built on uneven ground, with the stage left side 1.5m higher than the stage right side. Serious also supplied all decking, ramps, steps handrails, etc. for the main stage, decking for several large corporate hospitality arenas around the arena, plus a 12m Orbit structure for the 'second' stage, FOH platforms for both stages and a two follow spot towers for the main stage.
The stage roof was erected second. The main stage 'Space Roof' was finished in standard silver and black skins. A feature of the Space Roof is its high quality and streamlined aesthetics, making it perfect for a premium event like Hedgestock.
Serious launched the 'Space Roof' last year. It's specifically designed for large festivals and concerts, maximizing space and efficiency for all working personnel and performers. The roof is built from Space truss, a space-efficient steel truss system also used for a range of building structures of up to 60m in span.
The Roof utilizes a new flatter profile with vertical "legs." The modular main arches are spaced 4.8m apart so clients can tailor the stage depth to their exact requirements. The Roof's feature a flat rear gable end which maximizes the usable covered area and an angled, load bearing "cantilever" arch providing front-of-stage cover and convenient rigging points for front lighting.
The standard maximum trim height is 15.8m for the 25m roof. Each standard arch has a distributed load capacity of 11 tons, with the front cantilever arch supporting a distributed load of over 6 tons.

Ken Taylor and the Death of Jordan Shelton
Murder Charges & Trial
The Trial
On October 6, 2009, the murder trial of Ken Taylor began in the historic Hawkins County Courthouse in Rogersville, Tennessee -- the trial had been moved out of Morristown due to the overwhelming publicity. District Attorney General C. Berkeley Bell put forth a fairly straightforward case: Taylor was a grown man, a bodybuilder, well over 200 lbs, while Jordan Shelton was "a chubby little boy" at 5'3" and 174 lbs. Regardless of who started the fight, prosecutors maintained, Taylor took it too far by putting the teen in an armlock and squeezing him until his head turned purple. The State called previous foster children to detail violent episodes with Ken Taylor. Prior foster son Buddy Hooper described an incident where Taylor passed him in the hallway and then "hunkered down" like he wanted to wrestle, although no words were exchanged. In a flash, Taylor had an arm around his throat and wrestled him to the ground suddenly, and then walked off. Hooper characterized it as "random choke-slamming." The defense characterized the incident as good-natured horseplay, and the contentious cross-examination of Hooper over minor discrepancies in his story led to one of the most sensational moments of the trial when the young man exclaimed to Taylor: "You shouldn't have put your hands on a 16-year-old, just like, he shouldn't have put his hands on the 16-year-old he killed...'' [Taylor] was a big guy, all he had to do is wrap them up." Prosecutors would go on to use this idea that Taylor should have bear-hugged Jordan around the waist (instead of the neck) through closing arguments.
The defense case revolved around the idea that Ken Taylor did not knowingly kill Jordan Shelton. Taylor always believed Jordan Shelton was breathing throughout the entire incident and he released Jordan as soon as he stopped struggling. Defense attorney Herbert Moncier equated the stranglehold to an ineffective "lateral vascular hold" used by police to subdue violent people by cutting off the artery to the head for 15 seconds or so and cuffing them while they temporarily pass out. Moncier's point being that Taylor was trying to use a generally accepted form of restraint, but unknowingly performed it incorrectly thus causing Jordan's death. Moreover, Moncier said that Taylor believed his wife and children might be endangered by letting Jordan run amok -- and that as his foster father, he had a duty to restrain Jordan if the boy was going to destroy property or harm others.

80 for 8 in 8
Posted on Jul 17, 2008
From the Libertarian Party:
Dear Fellow Libertarian:
Eight States. Eight Days. Eighty thousand dollars.
That's our goal for the next eight days as we face tough deadlines in eight states across the nation, and we're $80,000 short of what we need to finish the ballot access drives in these states.
We're putting out an urgent request for volunteers to collect petition signatures, and for generous Americans willing to donate to our ballot access struggle that will give voters the choice they deserve in November.
Why is ballot access important, and why should you donate to our "80 for 8 in 8" drive?
More choices on the ballot means voters have the ability to pick the best candidate--not just the lesser of two evils. Ballot access means competition, and competition means better candidates get elected.
Ballot access does not just benefit third parties—it benefits all Americans!
We need your help to put Bob Barr on the ballot for the Libertarian Party, and help get many of our other candidates on the ballot for voters as well.
Voters need more choice as Republicans and Democrats continue to fail the American people.
Voters need to hear the Libertarian message that Bob Barr and our other fine candidates are spreading across the nation.
Voters need to see another choice on the ballot instead of the just the political establishment.
Voters need you.
Please donate $25, $50, $80 or even $100 right now to help get the Libertarian Party on the ballot in these eight states in the next eight days. If you can donate more, or can only donate less, please do so right now! Every dollar that you donate, and every hour that you dedicate towards ballot access works towards giving voters more choice in 2008.
The goal of $80,000 in the next eight days will be hard to reach, but with your help, it is entirely possible!
Can you help us today?
Thank you for all that you have done for liberty, and continue to do so.
In liberty,
Bill Redpath
National Chairman
Libertarian National Committee
P.S. – If you are receiving this message and are not currently a member of the Libertarian Party, please consider signing up today! We have had more than 1,500 members sign up in the past two months, and continue to grow larger each day!

RALEIGH — Attorney General Roy Cooper announced Tuesday that he will petition the state Supreme Court to review the recent N.C. Court of Appeals decision ordering a new trial for Brad Cooper.
Brad Cooper, 39, a former Cisco employee, was convicted in May 2011 of murdering his wife, Nancy Cooper, and dumping her body several miles from their Cary home.
The evidence in the case was largely circumstantial. Jurors said afterward that prosecutors won with computer evidence that defense lawyers tried to quash.
The defense argued that the police investigation of Nancy Coopers death in July 2008 was inept. They had hoped to argue before the jury that the crucial computer evidence could have been tampered with and perhaps planted by investigators arguments that they planned to introduce through their own expert witnesses.
Wake County Superior Court Judge Paul Gessner allowed prosecutors to introduce evidence of a Google Maps search of the site where Nancy Coopers body had been found. Prosecutors argued that the map search and time stamps associated with it showed that Brad Cooper had searched for a site to dump his wifes body.
The defense team, however, raised questions about the validity of the time stamps on the laptop files.
Gessner ruled against the defenses attempt to classify two witnesses as forensics experts to raise questions about the computer evidence.
In their ruling last week, the appeals court judges noted that the sole physical evidence linking Brad Cooper to the homicide was the Google Maps search. Absent this evidence, the evidence connecting Defendant to this crime was primarily potential motive, opportunity, and testimony of suspicious behavior, the ruling said.
Further, the appeals court panel added that whether the error was constitutional or not, failure to let Brad Cooper use his experts at trial was a key error that warranted a new trial.
(T)here is a reasonable possibility that, had the error in question not been committed, a different result would have been reached at the trial out of which the appeal arises, the ruling stated.
Brad Cooper maintained at trial that he was not guilty of first-degree murder. He told Cary investigators that his wife went jogging and never returned home.
The murder trial in spring 2011 nearly 36 days of testimony has been described by Wake court officials as one of the countys longest.
Deteriorating marriage
For several weeks, prosecutors called numerous friends and family members of Nancy Cooper to the witness stand to describe the crumbling relationship between her and her husband.
Nancy Cooper, the more outspoken of the two, had told many people that she wanted out of her marriage and planned to return to her native Canada with her two children.
Friends described Nancy Cooper as an emotionally battered wife, a former career woman in Canada who had to rely on her husband for her financial well-being because she did not have the necessary documents to work in this country. They testified that her husband had given her an allowance but then he cut off her access to the couples bank accounts.
Defense attorneys contended that Nancy Cooper spent beyond the familys means and that her husband instituted financial controls to protect their assets.
Cooper has been incarcerated in state prison since the jury verdict.
