KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -- Golf writer Doug Ferguson won two writing awards and Mark J. Terrill captured two for photos in the annual contest for AP staffers judged by the Associated Press Sports Editors at their winter meeting.
Ferguson won the Grimsley Award for outstanding body of work, as well as deadline writing.
His portfolio included stories about Rory McIlroy's record-breaking second round at the U.S. Open, Phil Michelson's anything-but-routine practice rounds and the final round of the Masters, which also won the deadline category.
"Doug Ferguson's mastery of the game of golf is quite evident. His accounts of the Masters and U.S. Open had great detail and depth," said Garry D. Howard, editor-in-chief of The Sporting News, who helped judge the AP entries. "And he writes with such clarity."
Other contest winners announced Thursday included columnist Tim Dahlberg, story of the year, for his homage to boxer Joe Frazier, who died last November; Phoenix sports writer John Marshall, enterprise, for the living legacy of NFL star-turned-soldier Pat Tillman; and Boston sports writer Jimmy Golen, feature, for the fight by NHL scout Mark Bavis' family for accountability after he died in the 9/11 hijackings.
Dahlberg's piece captured not only the heavyweight's personality and life but focused on the biggest night of his career -- when he became the first man to beat Muhammad Ali in the Fight of the Century at Madison Square Garden.
Finishing behind Dahlberg were Howard Fendrich and Ben Walker, each winning honorable mention for story of the year. Fendrich was recognized for his story on Roger Federer's victory over Novak Djokovic at the French Open, while Walker was honored for his coverage of the seventh game of the World Series.
Terrill, based in Los Angeles, won best portfolio and best action photo, and Alabama's Dave Martin, best feature photo.
Terrill captured the Thomas V. diLustro award for a package of work that included boxer Christy Martin, Los Angeles Clippers star Blake Griffin, tennis player Kim Clijsters, the Shane Mosley-Manny Pacquiao welterweight bout in Las Vegas, the Texas Rangers winning the American League Championship Series, the San Jose Sharks and moguls at the freestyle skiing world championships.
David J. Phillip and Amy Sancetta received honorable mention in the portfolio category.
Terrill's action photo caught a stunning sunset while North Carolina forward John Henson tried to block a shot by Michigan State center Adreian Payne during the first half of the Carrier Classic aboard the USS Carl Vinson in Coronado, Calif.
Misha Japaridze and Marcio Sanchez received honorable mention.
Martin, based in Montgomery, won feature for a photo of the bald eagle Spirit, who flies over Jordan-Hare Stadium before Auburn home football games.
"The detail on each person's face is a true moment in time," said John Devine, an assistant sports editor at The Miami Herald, who helped judge the entries. "The excitement on some fans' faces versus the fear of some to be so close to such a majestic animal is priceless."
Matthias Schrader and Matt Dunham received honorable mention.
Roger Simmons, Tribune Company director of digital content for the East Coast, also judged the AP photo entries. Tallahassee Democrat sports editor Jim Lamar and Orlando-based editor and consultant Bill Speros assisted Howard with the AP writing awards.
Marshall's enterprise piece focused on the public's ongoing response to Tillman's call to action, adding to his legacy with their own good deeds and accomplishments.
"John Marshall's ability to take me to seven different places to bring into perspective the legacy of Pat Tillman was a must-read enterprise piece," Howard said.
Steve Wade, for a story on hooliganism in Argentine soccer, and Fendrich, for a piece on NFL players' reluctance to report concussions even after changes in league policy, won honorable mentions for enterprise.
Golen's feature was about the Bavis family's long fight for a public-record explanation of how airline security failed on Sept. 11, demanding someone take responsibility for his death. The Los Angeles Kings scout died on United Flight 175.
"I felt the emotions of Mark Bavis' family, battling for 10 years to get answers and hold United Airlines accountable," Howard said. "To me, that's what journalism is all about."
Honorable mention for features went to columnist John Leicester, for a story on McIlroy's roots in Northern Ireland, and Ralph D. Russo, for a piece on the daily life of paralyzed Rutgers football player Eric LeGrand; for deadline writing, Paul Newberry (Indianapolis 500) and Marshall (the crash that killed Dan Wheldon) were cited.
Winners will be honored at the organization's annual convention in June in Chicago.

BOARDING - was a breeze! There was a separate area for suite embarkation but everyone was going through rapidly.We were on board in less than 15 minutes. We were told to go up to the Windows Cafe for our lunch-the cafe was nicely appointed and the food enjoyable. When we arrived at our suite-we found it very inviting,although not as large as our suite on the Noordam.
SAILING- We went up to the pool which had very comfortable chaises but the hot sun on the dark blue cushions just held the heat-definitely a towel required to sit on. Although the pool is too small for the size of the ship, it still is extremely refreshing. Late afternoon we met up with our butler. He turned out to be a wonderful asset to the line but we felt he was overworked in his position of room attendant plus butler. Throughout our trip on the Journey, we found the staff excellent and the restaurants to be top draw. However, we do feel there are some kinks in the running of the hotel part. On our entrance to our suite,our phone had a message for an earlier passenger and for 7 days nobody could fix it. The shower did leak because there wasn't enough enclosure. A shower curtain or an extension of the panel is needed.On our last full day of sailing with a full ship-passengers didn't have enough teak chaises and the older ones had been roped up so people couldn't find chaises. We helped untie some and move them for some of the passengers but no staff was around to assist.A glaring error was made by the Purser -unbelievable that our bill was placed on our door for anyone to read. It was placed that way for our mid-trip bill and our final bill. It wasn't even put in an envelope! In all my times cruising this was a first.Evidently-they feel that your bill can be placed outside your door for anyone to read. It wasn't even in an envelope-in all my cruising I have never seen it done that way!

West U Girl Scout hosts parties for Star of Hope children to earn Gold Award
HOUSTON, Texas (October, 2013) – Girl Scout Hannah P. hosted a series of parties for children at the Star of Hope to earn Girl Scouts of the USA's Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can receive. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts achieve this national recognition.
"I developed leadership skills like learning to lead things in an orderly manner and communication skills," said Hannah, a 2013 graduate of Episcopal High School.
The Girl Scout Gold Award represents the highest achievement in Girl Scouting; it recognizes girls in grades 9 through 12 who demonstrate extraordinary leadership through sustainable and measurable Take Action projects. Since 1916, girls have successfully answered the call to Go Gold, an act that indelibly marks them as accomplished members of their communities and the world.
"I chose this project because I hoped to give the kids [at Star of Hope] a time where they could be stress-free and enjoy themselves," said Hannah. "I hoped my project provided those kids with long-lasting memories and a chance to learn something new."
For her project, Hannah led her team of volunteers in planning and hosting three parties for children at Star of Hope. The first party was a royal tea party where kids made crafts and enjoyed an afternoon tea. The second party was a royal birthday for preschoolers. The children made dirt cup snacks, play games and received a goodie bag at the end of the party. The final party was a movie night for the after-school program. Approximately 90 children total attended the parties.
Hannah learned to be flexible and patient as things changed several times," said Carol P., Hannah's mother. "She was very persistent, and I think many girls would have given up if they were faced with some of the obstacles that were presented to her."
Hannah was a member of Girl Scouts for 13 years and also earned the Bronze and Silver Awards. At Episcopal High School she was a member of dance, lacrosse and soccer. Outside of school she was a member of National Charity League. She is currently attending Southern Methodist University to study business.

AP Panic Is Evident Over Obama's 'Private Sector Is Just Fine' Comment, Non-Walkback
Today at a press conference, President Barack Obama said that "we've created 4.3 million jobs over the last 27 months, over 800,000 just this year alone. The private sector is doing fine. Where we're seeing weaknesses in our economy have to do with state and local government ..."
Later, in a cleanup attempt, in what the press is claiming is a walkback, Obama really didn't walk it back: "Listen, it is absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine. That's the reason I had the press conference. ... what I've been saying consistently over the last year, we've actually seen some good momentum in the private sector. We've seen 4.3 million jobs created -- 800,000 this year alone -- record corporate profits. And so that has not been the biggest drag on the economy." He never pulled back from saying that "the private sector is doing fine." The abject panic at the Associated Press is evident in tonight's report by Ken Thomas and Philip Elliott (HT to a NewsBusters tipster; bolds and numbered tags are mine):
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
Obama gets grief for saying private sector 'fine'
President Barack Obama made Mitt Romney's day by declaring "the private sector is doing fine" and opening himself to the accusation that he - not the rich Republican [1] - is the one who is out of touch with reality. Obama quickly clarified his remark Friday but Republicans already had their teeth in it [2] and weren't letting go.
"Is he really that out of touch?" GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney asked as Obama's initial comments ricocheted through the presidential campaign.
Seeking to head off any damage, Obama backpedaled and declared it is "absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine." [3] While there had been some "good momentum" in the private sector, Obama said, public sector growth lagged behind, making it imperative that Congress act on his proposals to hire more teachers and first-responders.
Obama's original six-word sentence, even if taken out of context, amounted to an unforced political error. The economy is the single biggest issue on voters' minds and a weak spot for him, given the nation's stubbornly high 8.2 percent unemployment rate.
Nearly every day, Obama finds himself having to defend his stewardship of an economy that has struggled to recover from the 2008 economic downturn and pleading with voters to stick with him because, he says, Romney would pursue policies that led to the recession.
But on Friday, Obama may have given his rival an opening. [4]
... Obama's comments at a White House news conference were reminiscent of Republican nominee John McCain's assertion in mid-September 2008 that the "fundamentals of our economy are strong," [5] just as the U.S. economy was melting down. Candidate Obama seized on those comments then. Now, as president, he was getting grief along similar lines.
... But while "doing fine" is in the eye of the beholder, Obama was correct that the job picture in the private sector is brighter than in the public sector. Since the recession officially ended in June 2009, private companies have added 3.1 million jobs. [6]
Notes (in how Thomas and Elliott might have discussed these matters among themselves):
[1] -- "Geez, we have to get something in here really quick about the fact that Romney is rich, even though it's totally irrelevant to our report."
[2] -- "We need a wild, out-of-control animal reference to make Republicans look like the unreasonable meanies."
[3] -- "We know this really isn't a backpedal, because he didn't admit that the private sector isn't fine, but we're going to pretend it is anyway. Those dummy subscribing publishers and broadcasters who use our content won't know any better."
[4] -- "Even though we know it's something Mitt Romney and Republicans will be driving a Mack Truck through for the next five months, let's just call it an 'opening.'"
[5] -- "We know that McCain was only talking about the economy's capabilities as opposed to where it actually stood, but we pounced on it when we had the chance. So let's use it now, even though Obama's out of touch flub is obviously different, as it clearly refers to his take on the private sector's current actual health."
[6] -- "Let's be sure not to tell anyone that 737,000 of those jobs are with temporary help services, that the number of part-time employees is at an all-time high of 28 million, that full-time employment is down by 1.6 million since Obama took office (and only up by 1.5 million since the recession ended almost three years ago), or that non-postal federal employment is up by over 140,000 since January 2009. And whatever we do, we can't say that states like Wisconsin which have addressed public sector employment costs have largely avoided public employee layoffs, while states like Ohio which tried but failed to rein in costs due to union activism are seeing public-sector layoffs all over the state."
Obama had a chance to simply say he was wrong, and didn't. It's too late now; for reasons far beyond what is detailed here, this seems destined to haunt him all the way until Election Day. The way Thomas and Elliott pathetically and desperately tried to construct their defenses at the Administration's Press clearly demonstrate that.

Submitted by Slyrr on Sat, 06/09/2012 - 1:24am.
I'm sure Obama and his greedy wife really DO think the economy is 'just fine'. After all, they're hobnobbing with Hollywood's glitterati on a daily basis. They throw lavish orgies disguised as state dinners every week. They jet around to the world's most lavish resorts, hotels and tourist attractions.
And they steal OUR tax dollars to foot the bill.
I'm sure while they're swilling champagne and stuffing their faces with caviar bon-bons, they look around at all their ill-gotten finery and think everything's dandy.
They don't give a d@#^ about the 3 million people they've put out of business, out of work and out of hope with their failed policies.

Megalomania on Display...
Submitted by Jimi Streets on Sat, 06/09/2012 - 2:03am.
The President didn't say anything that was untrue because it was HE that said it, therefore, OF COURSE he was 100% accurate...
This is the level of self delusion this man operates under. He truly believes himself, "Exceptionally gifted" and simply not on the same level with everyone else. All of us are simply to listen, believe and heed whatever he says.
So, when one contemplates the level of arrogance it must take for him to say things like, "The private sector is doing fine", and compares it with the reality we all live and breathe in, I believe only one of two conclusions can be made: The man is delusional beyond measure and he believes his own contradictions and lies or; the man is a souless schemer without a moral rudder.

And yet amazingly nothing is ever his fault
Submitted by lsudolemite on Sat, 06/09/2012 - 11:00am.
Why is the economy still idling in neutral? Well, it's unseasonably warm weather. No, wait, it's the Eurozone crisis. No, actually it's the Japanese tsunami. Oh wait, scratch all that, it's Bush's fault. Why didn't $1T in stimulus reap that <6% unemployment we promised? We didn't spend enough.
Obama exhibits all the traits of someone who has had a professional path paved for him his entire life by friends, connections, and mentors. Whom he summarily discards whenever it becomes politically expedient. Consequently, he folds like an accordion during any true test of leadership and character. He is incapable of a Clinton-esque political triangulation because he is utterly convinced of his own superiority.

That was from a reallllly long time ago, buddy. Can you link the more recent ones? And I don't mean ones where he simply did an "about-face" on something he said previously that crashed down on him so he revised himself -- I mean actually saying "I'm sorry" or "I made a mistake."

Boy Baraka IS a lie - his whole life has been a lie,and his little peabrain is hard-wired to the lie that he as become for his whole life. So for this skinny little man-child to go out there and LIE about something - anything - that is unprovable to anyone except him - that is typical for him,and he has had the stupid voters and lock-step followers and bent-over StateRun Media 'getting is back' for the past four years, so why should he worry about the truthfullness of whatever his big stupid purple lips are spouting off???
Don't hold your breath for the 'lean-forward' media to take him to the woodshed on this either.
And, Jer - that information on your link??? LIGHTWEIGHT!!! It is NOTHING compared to what he has done since!!! You need to get off the Kool-Aid and come to Asia and enjoy a couple of black cherry/vodkas with your ol' buddy the KILLA!!! I'll be happy to set you straight!!! You're bettin' (Obamaspeak) on a loser, Jer................I'm just doin' this for your own good!!!

or the first time he referred to something as 'his' in an inappropriate way, I'd probably pass over it. I think Obama automatically states things from a perspective of utter self-absorption, like when he referred to our troops as fighting for him. I'm tired of it after listening to it for four years. A normal person would have said "my staff" or "my administration", because those do indeed belong to the President.
The WH belongs to the people and he needs to remember that.

That just reminded me of an article in American Thinker a couple of weeks ago,
Obama's Sons: They Are Real for Him.
....he is a megalomaniac, in the literal, clinical sense.
He is not a liar, or not simply a liar. He envisions himself as more than a man. Not a god, exactly, but a kind of ethereal, roving force -- a collective (or collectivist) energy enveloping the world.
The historical "majestic plural," colloquially known as "the royal we," is the manner whereby those perceived as ruling by divine dispensation refer to themselves. When such a man -- a king, for example, says "we," he represents himself as the symbol of his entire kingdom, all things together in one person. Obama turns this around. When he says "I," he seems to be trying to portray the world -- or at least the world of desirable possibilities -- as a mere symbol of himself.
So it's quite possible that he does think of it as "HIS" house, if "we the people" are merely a symbol of him.
Read the whole thing.

EXCELLENT article. I thought the same thing at the time, that his 'sons' comment was meant in a grandiose metaphorical sense, but that piece fleshed it out in a really chilling way.
Once again Obama made that little twist from the way normal people would phrase it, saying 'my' sons and daughters instead of 'our' (as in "America's") sons and daughters. We have the perspective as Americans that we're part of something bigger than ourselves, but Obama takes bigger things and makes them part of himself.
If that doesn't make your skin crawl, it's on too tight. Blech.

George Harrison and the Beatles cut a tune on the 'White Album' (ironic name, huh??) titled 'I, Me, Mine' (and I guess they could have added 'my' also), which fits Boy Baraka to a tee, even to this day. George also wrote a very precient song titled 'Taxman', which is up-to-date still. And, of course, John Lennon penned 'Nowhere Man'.........................and the late Billy Preston, who actually recorded with the Beatles, is well known for his tune called 'Nothin' From Nothin' Leaves Nothin'...............which was even written in Obamaspeak!!!!!

Just for argument's sake, just for a moment let's assume Ear Leader told the truth about the number of new jobs created in this country. Now, HOW MANY JOBS WERE DESTROYED by Ogabe and his Marxist Minions? In other words, what is the net number of new jobs in the country since Black Jesus was immaculated? Why has Bureau of Labor Statistics had to revise upward the number of new appications for unemployment nearly every week? Why is it always "unexpected" that there are 300K+ new applications for unemployment?
And, what kind of jobs has SCOAMF created? If they are good, permanent, well paying jobs, why has the median income dropped since he took office?

NPR is challenging AP for the propaganda first prize on this one. NPR "news" this morning sounds like it was dictated by Press Secretary Jay Carney. They report AS A FACT that Obama was "misinterpreted" and that he is "frustrated" that Washington just wants to "play political games" on the issue of jobs.
NPR is so breathtakingly sold out they make Bill Maher look insightful.

Submitted by cajun2 on Sat, 06/09/2012 - 4:57pm.
Let me just add something about those poor state governors and mayors woes. I would have to post about 57 links so I will just give thoughts on Obie's actions and folks can look up in each of their own states.
Many programs that are "mandated" by the feds are actually administered by the states. Those program costs are partially reimbursed to the states varying percentages based on the programs. For instance, Obama has been cutting states reimbursement costs for medicaid and other medical programs such as alchohol and drug treatment facilities. They have also cut the payments of medical treatments under the medicaid programs so that first line medical providers are absorbing the loss. Hospitals, clinics,and private physicians are losing money rapidly. Due to "emergency" declaration after Katrina and Rita, La had medicaid expenses far above normal. The government recently decided to cut our share of those "emergency" funds and La now has a huge deficit in medicaid costs that would have been "eligible" for "normal" reimbursement percentages. California is also having similar problems due to the generosity of their local policies of providing free medical care to illegals that they tried to put under "medicaid" and now has lowered reimbursement percentages putting California is serious deficits for their "Cal-Aid" programs.
Not just medical programs, but also education, highways construction and repair, foster care, changing states share of oil and gas revenue, Dept of Agriculture, police and other law enforcement agency reimbursements, grants and contracts have all been cut as well. It is easier to look at state to state obviously great differences because of locations, environment, resources, population, etc all come into play. One note of interest, in all of these changes coming through agency regulations and executive orders, the hardest hit states are run by Republican Governors. Hmmmm

Anniversary Getaway
I am so happy to have found this little gem on a web search! I wanted to surprise my husband for our 30th wedding anniversary, and what a surprise it was! From the moment we pulled into the driveway and saw the lake I new it was going to be a special place. It is simply charming inside and out. Quiet, secluded, private and very peaceful. The cottage was everything the photos depicted and then some. The furnishings are very "Kozy" and comfortable and the kitchen is clean and well equipped. I love the way there is a view of the lake from every one of the many windows in this cottage. The exterior and property is just as charming, with a private path to a secret place to sit and relax while viewing the water. We will definitely be back again!
This place was absolutely wonderful. Our family had a wonderful time and the home exceeded our expectations. Norman (the owner) met us upon arrival and was so gracious and wonderful. The whole experience we had with him and the home made for a very relaxing and peaceful vacation. We can not wait to go back and would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a place in this area, to don the same. You will not be disappointed :)
Nice house in a fun lake community.
I stayed here with my husband last month while visiting nearby family. This house was perfect us. The house was clean and modern, the yard is well landscaped, and is set in nice lake community. The house has stairs in front which could be a climb for some. But that also gives you a view of the lake! I would stay here again.

Hello Friends of Deep in the Heart of Arkansas!
My name is Kylie, and you can read my blog "Absolutely Arkansas" at absolutelyarkansas.blogspot.com.
2 Arkansas bloggers...who woulda thunk it!
Over at Absolutely Arkansas we are doing Halloween week,
so I am here to share with you some of my favorite craftiness ;)
People, hear me. There are few in this world that love the "Ers" as much as me. (September-December) I have a countdown come January 1st, to prepare for the next season. I am not even kidding you! My cheerfulness rivals buddy the elf and my love for fun Holiday décor sometimes can take over my life.
When I was 18, I moved out of my parent's house and into a TINY studio apartment. My 1st Christmas rolled around and I needed a TINY tree. So I bought a little 4 footer and absolutely loved it.
We then upgraded, and for the past few years have had 2 trees.
This Halloween rolled around, and while I was in the Attic fighting off mice, and kicking the tale of any dust myte that looked my way, I had a light bulb moment. I am going to make a "HALLOWEEN TREE!". I mean Christmas trees are the best part of Christmas right? Why the heck not make a Halloween tree to pose as the fabulous focal point in your Halloween home. (Now that's some awesome alliteration. HA! I just can't stop myself)
All I did is use 2 cans of Flat Krylon black spray paint, and get to work. I sprayed and sprayed until I could see sounds and hear colors, and VOILA! It was magic. Halloween magic. I simply draped some old Halloween garland and let it be. I promise, it will have a much more "grand" appearance next year, cause as soon as November 1st hits…I'm going to get all Coupon lady at Hobby Lobby, and scoop up some discount tree trimmins'.
My favorite part of the tree is underneath. What do you put underneath a Christmas tree? Presents of course! So what do you put underneath a Halloween tree?? NATURALLY pumpkins and skulls! Helloooo this is the most spooktacular time of year.
I really encourage you to grab yourself a can of spray paint…and transform any item in your home. Its amazing what it can do! I am thinking about picking up a package of those little plastic spiders, and chroming em out with some metallic paint. I really like to "glam up" my spooky specials…don't you??
Thank you for letting me share with you today, I hope you will stop by Absolutely Arkansas some time, and make yourself at home! (But not too much at home…my bed is only big enough for the 2 of us ;)

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
All positive integers are interesting. Suppose they weren't. Let k be the lowest non-interesting positive integer. That is an interesting property. Therefore contradiction. Generalisation is left as an exercise to the reader.
$196883$ is interesting because it's the smallest dimension of a faithful complex representation of the Monster group. Roughly speaking, a group is a collection of symmetries of something. A simple group is a group which can't be decomposed further into smaller groups; to borrow a phrase, it's an "atom of symmetry." There is a classification of these atoms with several infinite families and 26 exceptions, and the Monster group is the largest of these exceptions. And the simplest way to write it down is using $196883$-by-$196883$ matrices.
$196883$ was crucial to McKay's discovery of Monstrous moonshine, which began with the observation that the j-invariant, an important function in number theory, has a Taylor series in which $196884$ appears. The story of this discovery is explained in Mark Ronan's wonderful book Symmetry and the Monster, which I highly recommend.
$163$ is interesting because it's the largest Heegner number. This means that it's the largest positive integer $d$ such that the ring of integers in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ has unique factorization. If you don't know what that means, two other elementary consequences of $163$ being a Heegner number are that
$n^2 + n + 41$
is prime for $n = 0, 1, 2, ... 39$ and that
$e^{\pi \sqrt{163}}$
is extremely close to an integer.
I always liked 23 (or more precisely, -23) because Q adjoin the square-root of -23 is the first quadratic imaginary field whose class number is not a power of 2; in fact, it's class group is of order 3.

jQuery rollover not working in IE
Hi guys,
I'm working on a page that incorporates a dribbble style rollover effect on a div/image. When the mouse enters the div area a hidden overlay div will fade in. This seems to work fine across every browser except for IE(8). I am completely at a loss as it seems to work fine in a seperate html file I created to test it. I have also ran the page with break points on the jquery that tells the overlay div to fade in and it is getting to this line.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong please.
The page can be accessed here: http://www2.hull.ac.uk/files/clearin...s/clearing.htm

SPORTS GRANTS: Funding opportunity for local elite athletes
Updated 11:17am Monday 13th January 2014 in Sport
TIME is running out for rising sports stars in Wiltshire to apply for funding from a special scheme designed to help them on their journey to success – and local businesses can play their part too.
This is the fourth year Wiltshire Council has organised the Funding Future Olympians and Paralympians grant which provides financial help to local elite athletes.
Since it began in September, 2010, 13 local athletes have received funding to help them reach the highest levels in their sport.
On March 13, 2014, a special fundraising dinner will be held in the Atrium at County Hall, Trowbridge. All money raised from the night will be added to the Funding Future Olympians and Paralympians grants.
The Olympic Legacy Business Dinner promises to be an exceptional event. One-off experiences will be auctioned as part of the evening, including the opportunity to cycle with Paralympic gold medallist Mark Colbourne MBE and a swimming session with Paralympic silver medallist and four-time World Champion Stephanie Millward.
There are still a few opportunities left for local businesses to get involved. Anyone interested in the various sponsorship packages should contact: email@example.com
Previous recipients include Olympian Francesca Fox and Paralympic silver medallist Aaron Moores.
Jerry Kunkler, portfolio holder for leisure, said: "Behind the smiling podium finish of every successful athlete there has been years of hard work and financial costs associated with reaching the top of their sport.
"Receiving a grant can make a huge difference, providing much-needed financial support which can help towards the cost of attending national or international level competitions, events and training camps."
People of any age who are competing at a national level, or above, in any Olympic or Paralympic sport, are invited to apply. The deadline for applications is 5pm on Monday, January 20, 2014. For more information, the criteria and the application form visit

CATEGORIES Action, Animation, Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Foreign Language, Horror, Independent, Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Awards, Mystery & Suspense, Disney, Magnolia, Warner Brothers, Fox Searchlight, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Awards, CinematicalLast-ish but not least-ish so far as awarding year-end, um, awards goes, the Online Film Critics Society has decided to honor Wall-E with its top prize, not to mention Best Original Screenplay and Best Animated Feature.
Numbers-wise, The Dark Knight and Let the Right One In co-dominated with four awards each. Christopher Nolan took home Best Director for the former, which also won Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger's performance, Best Cinematography and Best Original Score. The latter won Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Foreign Language Film, and both Breakthrough awards -- for director Tomas Alfredson and young actress Lina Leandersson.
It was then The Wrestler with two wins (Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress), and one awards each for Wendy and Lucy (Best Actress), Man on Wire (Best Documentary), and Slumdog Millionaire (Best Editing). Truth be told, I'm kind of glad to see the love spread around, although I say that with an already established fondness for most of these films, and even if I wasn't the biggest fan of Wendy and Lucy, I can admit that it got just the award it deserves.

BERN, Switzerland (AP) -- Switzerland defender Scott Sutter has joined FC Zurich on loan for the rest of the season after falling out of favor at Young Boys.
Young Boys says in a statement that it wishes Sutter luck after he was no longer a first choice for coach Christian Gross.
Sutter, who was born in England, had talks with Blackburn last month but a move to the Premier League fell through.
The 25-year-old Sutter is eligible to represent Switzerland through his Swiss father. He played two international matches in 2010.

Governor Phil Bryant wants Mississippi to re-think its strategy on measuring if a student is ready for a diploma.
"We believe that juniors in high school may be able to take the ACT rather than some of the other testing programs for graduation. We would be able to determine the outcomes of those students at a better level," Bryant said during his executive budget recommendation presentation.
Bryant's budget recommendation suggests setting aside $1.5 million dollars to help with costs of every junior taking the ACT. Currently there are state tests in four subjects that students have to pass. Through the pilot program, the state could explore using the ACT as the exit exam.
That's what the Mississippi Association of School Superintendents Executive Director Dr. Sam Bounds has requested for more than five years now.
"We predict that ACT scores will go up once it becomes the exit test and once we start emphasizing it in schools. We're not allowed to do that wholeheartedly because we're spending so much time getting ready for those exit exams," explained Bounds.
Bounds says a testing change could reduce the problems of "teaching to the test."
"The ACT would allow a broader base of instruction. It would allow again for teachers to be more innovative in teaching material instead of pigeon holing them into one set standard for a test," said Bounds.
Madison County Schools Superintendent Ronnie McGehee says they've already jumped on the idea of testing every junior with the ACT.
"We feel like the ACT is a gatekeeper for our young people. What they do for the future, where they go to school. It means money for our parents," described McGehee.
While McGehee is pushing for better ACT prep, he's encouraged by the potential of making it an exit exam.
"Our response in Madison County would be wow and where and when do we sign up," McGehee said.
This is only part of the Governor's budget recommendation. It would require approval by the legislature. The ACT is a part of the Department of Education's new accountability model.

So far, most American media outlets seem to be walking on eggshells to avoid tough coverage of the new pope. Caution is in the air, and some of it is valid. Anti-Catholic bigotry has a long and ugly history in the United States. News organizations should stay away from disparaging the Catholic faith, which certainly deserves as much respect as any other religion.
After more than two decades as a Vatican power broker, Joseph Ratzinger is now in charge as Pope Benedict XVI. He is extremely well-positioned to push a longstanding agenda that includes hostility toward AIDS prevention measures, women's rights, gay rights and movements for social justice. No one in the hierarchy was more committed to stances like vehement opposition to condoms while millions of people contracted cases of AIDS that could have been prevented. And he has been the commander of the Vatican's war on liberation theology.
Hours after the smoke cleared over the Vatican and the world learned the name of the new pope, Mary Jo McConahay — an insightful journalist who has long covered Latin America — wrote for Pacific News Service about a question blowing in the wind. "What would have happened, Guatemalans and El Salvadorans ask to this day, if Ratzinger and Pope John Paul II had regarded the Latin American call for liberation from autocratic rulers with the same force with which the European churchmen supported the Polish Solidarity revolution?"
The new papacy is a huge gift to the minority of conservatives in the United States who are trying to impose their version of morality on the country and the world.
And that's much of the problem. When a highly debatable position is "beyond reproach" — when religiosity provides cover for all manner of manipulations and repression — it's easier for demagogic power-mongers to get away with murder.

Mum, 35, threw herself from balcony at flat
8:00am Wednesday 29th January 2014 in News
A mother threw herself off the balcony of her second floor flat, an inquest heard yesterday.
Lisa Skillett, 35, of Stockleys Road, Marston, Oxford, was found dead in a hedge next to her flat on August 17 last year.
The unemployed mother-of-one, who had a history of alcohol abuse, was almost three times over the drink drive limit.
At Oxfordshire Coroners' Court yesterday, Coroner Darren Salter recorded a verdict that Miss Skillett took her own life.

Look on the bright side. You will be forever enshrined in urban dictionary lore, maybe even the OED. Judges get Borked and now bloggers will get Pacoed!
Personally I refuse to engage in this hysteria. I'm sure Tim Robbins can't wait to get up there at the National Press Club to rail against this threat to liberty and free speech, if you want to distinguish the two. I'm looking at their website for this monumental date for posterity and strange that! I can't seem to find his name anywhere. Probably the site doesn't update on a regular basis and it will appear any day now. I'll keep looking and update accordingly.

I seem to recall when being denounced for not agreeing with the government was . . . what was it now? Oh, yes! McCarthyism!
Right after the McCarthy era Michael Brown penned a cute line in his satirical song "John Birch Society" (popularized by the Chad Mitchell Trio in 1962) that went
"If mommie is a commie, then you gotta turn her in."
I guess the future variant under Obamacare will be something like,"If Gran's no longer prized, you should have her euthanized."
*Oooh, I'm gonna be sent to the re-education camp for that one. At least I won't be lonely; all my friends will be there.
. . . And if you think I actually knew who wrote "John Birch Society", you underestimate the power of Google.
