Happy Mother's Day to all the great moms out there! Great weather will continue across North Texas for the next couple of days as daytime highs will continue to climb into the middle 80s under mostly sunny skies. A storm system, out west, will give us a good chance of showers and thunderstorms beginning late Tuesday and continuing through early Thursday morning. Some of these storms could become severe, but a major severe weather threat is not expected as of this time. The long range forecast suggest that we might see another chance for rain late into next weekend. Afternoon highs will continue to be in the middle to upper 80s, which is slightly above average for this time of year.

Price volatility is unavoidable in the Australian cattle market. This is illustrated by the Eastern Young Cattle Indicator (EYCI) and Eastern States Trade Lamb Indicator (ESTLI), which have varied by 23% and 33%, respectively, within each calendar year since 2005.
Futures, forward contracts and other tools are used routinely in most agricultural commodities to control price and supply in advance. However, with a lack of futures markets, the only way in which Australian cattle and lamb producers can currently secure prices in advance is through forward contracts offered by processors and other buyers.
A liquid futures market would enable users to manage prices in advance. However, a futures market would also allow

A Watauga County Sheriff's Deputy was killed Thursday morning while responding to a 911 call at a home in Deep Gap.
According to the Sheriff's Office, deputies were called to a home along Hardin Road to the report of an open 911 call at 12:50 a.m. Deputies arrived at the home at 1:04 a.m.
Investigators say the pair was shot at within moments of arriving at the scene.
Watauga County Sheriff Len Hagaman says Deputy William Mast Jr., 23, was fatally injured when the man opened fire on him.
A second deputy returned fire and killed the shooter, who state investigators later identified as Mitchell Allen Trivette.
Emergency crews attempted treating Mast and Trivette at the scene for their injuries, but they were later rushed to the hospital, where both were pronounced deceased.
"It is a sad day for Watauga County Sheriff's Office and the Watauga County community as Officer Mast was a friend and asset to our force and to his community," Hagaman said.
Mast has worked with the Watauga County Sheriff's Office for 3.5 years, the Sheriff's Office told WBTV.
Aaron Norris who lives close by said he went to school with Deputy Mast and that he was saddened by what took place.
"Something like this just doesn't happen in your backyard."
WBTV talked to friends and neighbors of Trivette, and they were saddened by the news as well.
"It is totally out of character for him to shoot someone," neighbor Sandy Arnette said. She said Trivette grew up with her son and was "just like one of my own."
Arnette said what happened is a tragedy for both families and doesn't understand why Trivette would fire on a deputy.
"It shouldn't [have] happened," she said.
According to the Watauga County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to Trivette's address four or five times over several years. All were for 911 hang-ups that weren't serious.
Deputies and police officers came from across western North Carolina to assist the Watauga County Sheriff's Office Thursday, WBTV has learned, allowing deputies to reflect and grieve.
"I also want to thank other law enforcement agencies in the county for assisting us and the local community, clergy members and businesses for their outpouring of support," Sheriff Hagaman told WBTV.
They will help take over patrolling the county until 7 a.m. Friday morning, and periodically until Mast's burial.
"My heart breaks for the family and friends of Watauga County Sheriff's Deputy William Ronald Mast, Jr., who gave his life in the line of duty early this morning," Congresswoman Virginia Foxx said on Facebook. "I know the thoughts and prayers of thousands are with his wife, Paige, their ...unborn child, his parents, and the entire Watauga County Sheriff's Office today. May they be comforted and find peace in the midst of this tragedy."
"This investigation is going to take some time to complete," Sheriff Hagaman said. "I ask residents and others to refrain from speculation into the details of this incident."
The State Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation.
Deputy Mast is survived by his wife, Paige Mast, who is expecting a child, and other family in the area.
Funeral services for Mast will be conducted Tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m. at Mount Vernon Baptist Church.
The Sheriff's Office says they are expecting about 3,000 people for the service, which will include a procession through the streets.
The Watauga County Sheriff's Office, along with the Snow Masonic Lodge in Boone, which Mast was a member of, will both handle a part of the service.
The family will receive friends Monday evening from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. at Mount Vernon Baptist Church.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the William Hunter Mast Scholarship Fund, in care of Highland Union Bank, 1013 NC Hwy 105, Boone, NC 28607.
Online condolences may be sent to the Mast family at www.austinandbarnesfuneralhome.com.
Mast is the first deputy with the Watauga County Sheriff's Office to be killed in the line of duty. He is the fourth law enforcement officer to be killed in the county.

Cast Members From Broadway's Spider-Man Perform at John F. Kennedy International Airport Sept. 7
By Michael Gioia
Cast members from Broadway's Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark perform at Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport, as part of American Airlines' JFK concert series, Sept. 7 at 2:30 PM and 3:15 PM.
American Airlines, which has been named the official airline of Broadway's Spider-Man, presents the performances as part of the production's media and marketing campaign; the airline has an on-site presence and hospitality benefits at Broadway's Foxwoods Theatre, where the show is currently playing.
Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark features music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge, direction by Philip Wm. McKinley and a book co-written by Julie Taymor, Glen Berger and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
Inspired by over 40 years of Marvel comic books, Spider-Man, according to press notes, "follows the story of teenager Peter Parker, whose unremarkable life is turned upside-down when he's bitten by a genetically altered spider and wakes up the next morning clinging to his bedroom ceiling. This bullied science-geek suddenly endowed with incredible powers soon learns, however, that with great power comes great responsibility as villains put both his physical strength and strength of character to the test."

Close to Homeless
People who are homeless in rural regions like Northern New York are likely to be married, working, female, with children. They move from place to place, staying with friends and relatives, or in a series of substandard apartments and trailers. They are our invisible neighbors. NCPR talks with some of them, and with some of their advocates.

Scattered Notes May 30
A lot has gone down since the server that housed my blog went out. The big news:
The lawsuit to re-open Charity Hospital went to its first hearing in Civil District Court. Judge Ethel Simms Julien rejected LSU HSC-New Orleans claims that would have forced the case to go to court in Baton Rouge.
This is a big win. Baton Rouge may only be eighty-five miles away, but it's another world in many respects. Baton Rouge judges have not been as sympathetic to these issues as our own have.

Last week I also had the pleasure of meeting Eli Ackerman of the blog We Could Be Famous. I am impressed by his work, notably his filing of FOIA requests for the contracting process that landed Concordia and Parsons Engineering with the school facilities master plan contracts, requests that so far have resulted in his being stonewalled.
We Could Be Famous on Paul Vallas, Parsons and Concordia
Apparently Eli has a lot more time for research than I do, and thank God someone is doing it.
And lastly, there has been a leadership change at United Teachers of New Orleans (for the record: my day job) resulting in Larry Carter and Jim Randels being elected to President and Executive VP of UTNO.

The Chronicles of Narnia were written by Lewis between 1949 and 1954 but were written in neither the order they were originally published nor in the chronological order in which they are currently presented. The original illustrator was Pauline Baynes and her pen and ink drawings are still used in publication today. There are seven books that make up The Chronicles of Narnia.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, completed in the winter of 1949 and published in 1950, tells the story of four ordinary children: Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie. They discover a wardrobe in Professor Digory Kirke's house that leads to the magical land of Narnia. The Pevensie children help Aslan, a talking lion, save Narnia from the evil White Witch, who has reigned over the kingdom of Narnia for a century of perpetual winter. The children become kings and queens of this new-found land and leave a legacy to be rediscovered in later books.
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951)
Completed in the autumn of 1949 and published in 1951, Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia tells the story of the Pevensie children's second trip to Narnia. They are drawn back by the power of Susan's horn, blown by Prince Caspian to summon help in his hour of need. Narnia as they knew it is no more. Their castle is in ruins and all the dryads have retreated so far within themselves that only Aslan's magic can wake them. Caspian has fled into the woods to escape his uncle, Miraz, who had usurped the throne. The children set out once again to save Narnia.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
Completed in the winter of 1950 and published in 1952, The Voyage of the 'Dawn Treader' returns Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their priggish cousin, Eustace Scrubb, to Narnia. Once there, they join Caspian's voyage to find the seven lords who were banished when Miraz took over the throne. This perilous journey brings them face to face with many wonders and dangers as they sail toward Aslan's country at the end of the world.
The Silver Chair (1953)
Completed in the spring of 1951 and published in 1953, The Silver Chair is the first Narnia book without the Pevensie children. Instead, Aslan calls Eustace back to Narnia together with his classmate Jill Pole. There they are given four signs to aid in the search for Prince Rilian, Caspian's son, who disappeared after setting out ten years earlier to avenge his mother's death. Eustace and Jill, with the help of Puddleglum the Marsh-wiggle, face danger and betrayal before finding Rilian.
The Horse and His Boy (1954)
Completed in the spring of 1950 and published in 1954, The Horse and His Boy takes place during the reign of the Pevensies in Narnia, an era which begins and ends in the last chapter of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The story is about Bree, a talking horse, and a young boy named Shasta, both of whom have been held in bondage in Calormen. By chance, they meet each other and plan their return to Narnia and freedom. Along the way they meet Aravis and her talking horse Hwin who are also escaping to Narnia.
The Magician's Nephew (1955)
Completed in the winter of 1954 and published in 1955, the prequel The Magician's Nephew brings the reader back to the very beginning of Narnia where we learn how Aslan created the world and how evil first entered it. Digory Kirke and his friend Polly Plummer stumble into different worlds by experimenting with magic rings made by Digory's uncle, encounter Jadis (The White Witch) in the dying world of Charn, and witness the creation of Narnia. Many long-standing questions about Narnia are answered in the adventure that follows.
The Last Battle (1956)
Completed in the spring of 1953 and published in 1956, The Last Battle chronicles the end of the world of Narnia. Jill and Eustace return to save Narnia from Shift, an ape, who tricks Puzzle, a donkey, into impersonating the lion Aslan, precipitating a showdown between the Calormenes and King Tirian.
C.S. Lewis was an adult convert to Christianity and had previously authored some works on Christian apologetics and fiction with Christian themes. However, he did not originally intend to incorporate Christian theological concepts into his Narnia stories.
Lewis, an expert on the subject of allegory and the author of The Allegory of Love, maintained that the books were not allegory, and preferred to call the Christian aspects of them "suppositional". This indicates Lewis' view of Narnia as a fictional parallel universe. As Lewis wrote in a letter to a Mrs Hook in December 1958:
If Aslan represented the immaterial Deity in the same way in which Giant Despair [a character in The Pilgrim's Progress] represents despair, he would be an allegorical figure. In reality, however, he is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question, 'What might Christ become like if there really were a world like Narnia, and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?' This is not allegory at all.
The fauna of the series borrows from both Greek mythology and Germanic mythology. For example, centaurs originated in Greek myth, and dwarfs have origins in Germanic myth. Drew Trotter, president of the Center for Christian Study, noted that the producers of the film version of The Chronicles of Narnia felt that the books closely follow the archetypal pattern of the monomyth as detailed in Joseph Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces.
Lewis had also read widely in medieval Celtic literature, an influence reflected throughout the books, most strongly in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. The entire book imitates one of the immrama (English pronunciation: /ˈɪmrəmə/; singular immram; Irish: iomramh, IPA: [ˈʊmˠɾˠəw], voyage), a type of traditional medieval Irish tale in which the protagonists sail to a series of remarkable islands. Medieval Ireland also had a tradition of High Kings ruling over lesser kings and queens or princes, as in Narnia. Lewis' term "Cair," as in Cair Paravel, also mirrors the Welsh "Caer", "fortress" (appearing as Car- in the English versions of place names such as Cardiff (Welsh Caerdydd)). Reepicheep's small boat, the coracle, is also the traditional boat of the Celtic countries.
Some of the elements of the books are more generally medieval, such as the shape of the one-footed monopods or Dufflepuds in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, which reflects a type of people medieval sources claimed lived somewhere in the wondrous East.
In 2008 Michael Ward published Planet Narnia, which proposed that each of the seven books related to one of the seven moving heavenly bodies or "planets" known in the Middle Ages, according to the Ptolemaic or Geocentric model of cosmology. Each of these heavenly bodies was believed in the Middle Ages to have certain attributes, and these attributes were deliberately (but secretly) used by Lewis to furnish elements of the stories of each book. "In The Lion [the Pevensie children] become monarchs under sovereign Jove; in The Dawn Treader they drink light under searching Sol; in Prince Caspian they harden under strong Mars; in The Silver Chair they learn obedience under subordinate Luna; in The Horse and His Boy they come to love poetry under eloquent Mercury; in The Magician's Nephew they gain life-giving fruit under fertile Venus; and in The Last Battle they suffer and die under chilling Saturn." Lewis was known to have an interest in the literary symbolism of medieval and Renaissance astrology which is reflected far more overtly in other works of his such as his study of the Elizabethan world-view The Discarded Image, his early poetry, and more overt references to it in his science-fiction trilogy. Other Narnia scholars find Ward's assertion that Lewis intended the Chronicles as an embodiment of medieval astrology implausible.
The origin of the name Narnia is uncertain. According to Paul Ford's Companion to Narnia, there is no indication that Lewis was alluding to the ancient Italian Umbrian city Nequinium, which the conquering Romans renamed Narnia in 299 BC after the River Nar. However, since Lewis studied classics at Oxford, it is possible that he came across at least some of the seven or so references to Narnia in Latin literature.[3] There is also the possibility (but no solid evidence) that Lewis, who studied medieval and Renaissance literature, was aware of a reference to Lucia von Narnia ("Lucy of Narnia") in a 1501 German text, Wunderliche Geschichten von geistlichen Weybbildern ("Wondrous stories of monastic women") by Ercole d'Este. There is no evidence of a link with Tolkien's Elvish (Sindarin) word narn, meaning a lay or poetic narrative, as in his posthumously published Narn i Chîn Húrin, though Lewis may have read or heard parts of this at meetings of the Inklings.
Most of The Chronicles of Narnia take place in Lewis' constructed world of Narnia. The Narnian world itself is posited as one world in a multiverse of countless worlds including our own. Passage between these worlds is possible, though rare, and may be accomplished in various fashions. Narnia itself is described as populated by a wide variety of creatures, most of whom would be recognizable to those familiar with European mythologies and British fairy tales.
Lewis largely populates his stories with two distinct classes of inhabitants: people originating from the reader's own world and creatures created by the character Aslan and the descendants of these creatures. This is typical of works that involve parallel universes. The majority of characters from the reader's world serve as the protagonists of the various books, although some are only mentioned in passing. Those inhabitants that Lewis creates through the character Aslan are viewed, either positively or negatively, as diverse. Lewis does not limit himself to a single source; instead he borrows from many sources and adds a few more of his own to the mix.
The Chronicles of Narnia describes the world in which Narnia exists as one major landmass faced by "the Great Eastern Ocean". This ocean contains the islands explored in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. On the main landmass Lewis places the countries of Narnia, Archenland, Calormen, and Telmar, as well as a variety of other areas that are not described as countries. Lewis also provides glimpses of more fantastic locations that exist in and around the main world of Narnia, including an edge and an underworld.
There are several maps of the Narnian universe available, including what many consider the "official" one, a full-colour version published in 1972 by the books' illustrator, Pauline Baynes. This is currently out of print, although smaller copies can be found in the most recent HarperCollins 2006 hardcover edition of The Chronicles of Narnia. Two other maps have recently been produced following the popularity of the 2005 film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. One, called the "Rose Map of Narnia", is based loosely on Baynes' map and has Narnian trivia printed on the reverse. The other, made in a monochromatic, archaic style reminiscent of maps of Tolkien's Middle-earth, is available in print and in an interactive version on the movie DVD. The latter map depicts only the country Narnia and not the rest of Lewis' world.
A recurring plot device in The Chronicles is the interaction between the various worlds that make up the Narnian multiverse. A variety of devices are used to initiate these cross-overs which generally serve to introduce characters to the land of Narnia. The Cosmology of Narnia is not as internally consistent as that of Lewis' contemporary Tolkien's Middle-earth, but suffices given the more fairy tale atmosphere of the work. During the course of the series we learn, generally in passing, that the world of Narnia is flat, geocentric, has stars with a different makeup than our own, and that the passage of time does not correspond directly to the passage of time in our world.
Lewis takes us through the entire life of the world of Narnia, showing us the process by which it was created, snapshots of life in Narnia as the history of the world unfolds, and how Narnia is ultimately destroyed. Not surprisingly in a children's series, children, usually from our world, play a prominent role in all of these events. The history of Narnia is generally broken up into the following periods: creation and the period shortly afterwards, the rule of the White Witch, the Golden Age, the invasion and rule of the Telmarines, their subsequent defeat by Caspian X, the rule of King Caspian and his descendants, and the destruction of Narnia. Like many stories, the narrative is not necessarily always presented in chronological order.

A Temple mobile home and the contents inside are considered a total loss after an incorrectly used extension cord caused a fire Thursday morning.
Temple Fire & Rescue responded to the 4900 Block of Hernandez Dr. for a fire just before 9:30 a.m. A mobile home already had heavy smoke and fire showing from one end of the home.
Four people were inside the home when the fire started and were able to get out. Two were transported by Scott & White to be evaluated for smoke inhalation.
The residents heard a pop and went outside. One person was taking a shower and came out to find smoke inside the home. She was able to escape through a window that was broken by those outside.
Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional Airport personnel responded with their fire apparatus to serve as a water supply. Moffat and Morgan's Point Resort Volunteer Fire Department also assisted.
Crews were able to get the fire was under control just after 11 a.m.
Investigators determined the fire was unintentional and say it started from an incorrectly used extension cord operating a heat lamp.

Hempstead house explosion 2/27/13 twitter.com/Coughlin_x21/s…— Brian Coughlin (@Coughlin_x21) February 27, 2013
Hempstead house explosion 2/27/13 twitter.com/Coughlin_x21/s…
An explosion left two people with minor injuries and leveled a house on Long Island on Wednesday afternoon.
Police confirmed that it happened Perry Street in the village of Hempstead.
An image from the scene showed what appeared to have been a two house that had pancaked on top of itself. A neighboring home had also sustained damage.
Emergency crews were combing through the debris looking for possible victims.
A National Grid representative said the utility did not find evidence of a natural gas leak.
The fire department said the house was in foreclosure and should have been vacant.
Police were investigating the possibility that vagrants may have been inside the house and were treating the location as a possible crime scene.

Maybe. It depends how high your blood pressure is. According to the American Heart Association, you should not lift weights if your blood pressure is uncontrolled — meaning it's higher than 180/110 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). If your blood pressure is between 140 to 170 mm Hg systolic or 90 to 109 mm Hg diastolic, check with your doctor before starting a weightlifting program to discuss any precautions or special considerations.
Weightlifting can cause a temporary increase in blood pressure. This increase can be dramatic — depending on how much weight you lift. But, weightlifting can also have long-term benefits to blood pressure that outweigh the risk of a temporary spike for most people.
Regular exercise, including moderate weightlifting, provides many health benefits, including helping to lower blood pressure in the long term.
If you have high blood pressure, talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program. Your doctor can help you develop an exercise program tailored to your needs and medical conditions.
If you have high blood pressure, here are some tips for getting started on a weightlifting program:

Long before the term "samurai" came into usage, Japanese fighters were skilled with the sword and spear. These warriors included some women, such as the legendary Empress Jingu (c. 169-269 A.D.), pictured here leading an invasion of Korea.
According to the stories, Jingu was married to the fourteenth emperor of Japan, Chuai, who reigned between 192 and 200. After his death, she ruled as a regent for her young son. To pass the time, she invaded and conquered Korea (without shedding a drop of blood, according to the legend).
"Female Samurai"
Linguistic purists point out that the term "samurai" is a masculine word; thus, there are no "female samurai."
Nonetheless, for thousands of years, certain upper class Japanese women have learned martial skills and participated in fighting.
Between the 12th and 19th centuries, many women of the samurai class learned how to handle the sword and the naginata (a blade on a long staff) primarily to defend themselves and their homes. In the event that their castle was overrun by enemy warriors, the women were expected to fight to the end and die with honor, weapons in hand.
Some young women were such skilled fighters that they rode out to war beside the men, rather than sitting at home and waiting for war to come to them. Here are pictures of some of the most famous among them.

Maybe an odd question at first glance, but there is a lot of substance behind it. Canon in particular has pushed up prices of its higher end DSLR models to such a degree that the really need to produce something pretty special - the trouble is that they don't produce image quality that much better than the previous models.
Last month Canon held a management briefing here The interesting thing is what they said about comming compact cameras:
"we will further differentiate and enhance our lineup by launching new cameras offering the image qualities that approaches SLR cameras; furthering the improvement in design and qualities, and by incorporating features such as network, connectivity capabilities."
Now I'm sure that there will be those who view this as some kind of heresy and won't believe that this is even possible, but have a look at these images taken with the Olympus E-M5 and a Canon FD 50-300mm f/4.5L and then ask yourself seriously if a DSLR would have returned better image quality.
Falling sales of high end product will reduce profits, and put pressure on manufacturers to raise high prices even higher, but what is the real point of paying so much for something which isn't returning images significantly better than those which can be obtained for a tenth of the outlay? Of course we know that clients expect to see a big camera, better than something they might own, and for those users, there's little choice
When you take 50,000 Photos a year for live events, weddings, studio photos, concerts, and many other things, films workflow can be a strain to manage, tag, print, copy, email, scan for clients. Digital is king for speed while I feel film is for medium or large format jobs which require the extra detail and DR. IE: architecture & Landscapes.
The 35mm film format isnt worth the extra processing and cost for me. Its detail isnt worth it compared to just shooting digital.
Also, No one says you have to shoot with the latestest and greatest gear. A Good full-frame 5Dc and an EG-S screen can run you as low as 800$ and has AF if you'd like to use it. Thats a bargian compared to processing and drum scans to get every ounce of IQ from a slide.
Just my 2 Cents.
You do know that the Olympus OM-D E-M5 is a 16 MP digital mirrorless camera ?
My Bad. LOL I Just hear olympus OM and think of my Old OM-1.
Carry On.

Everything's Clearly About Vodka
Article by: Lew Bryson - There is a legend about the last words of Peter the Great, the brilliant yet half-mad emperor who brought Russia out of the dark ages of backwards isolation. Peter made Russia a European nation, largely on his own energetic efforts, and he built St. Petersburg, his "Window on the West", a new capital city to funnel European thought and ideas into his benighted land. He was a truly [...] Read More »
Drinking in Angus Winchester

Italy's Riccardo Cotarella
Article by: Bill Nesto, MW - Many journalists believe that this well known Italian consulting enologist is captivated by international-styled wines using the Merlot grape variety. Indeed, the calling card of the Falesco winery, co-owned by Riccardo and brother Renzo, is Montiano, a 1OO% Merlot wine matured in small French barrels. Falesco is located in Montefiascone, in the region of Latium, with vineyards on the Latium-Umbria border. It is an area traditionally known for Sangiovese. Since [...] Read More »

Three Thurston County schools landed on the state's list of under-performing schools and will receive additional funding and support to try to make improvements, according to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Rainier Elementary School was listed as "priority" because of its reading and math test scores during the past three years.
Tenino Middle School and Yelm Middle School were listed as "focus" schools because they fell below the state's bar for reading and math scores by the subgroup of students receiving special education services.

Anyone who gardens, cooks, or loves to eat as much as I do cannot help but marvel at the diversity and elegance of our foods.
In this book I have attempted to do what Picasso said good art should strive to do: Show us something we have never seen before, or show us something we have seen many times in a way that makes it seem we have never seen it before.
Artists call the phenomenon of seeing humanity in the objects around us "equivalence", so if we see a bit of ourselves on these pages, then perhaps this book helps prove the aphorism "we are what we eat".

I don't think that offense will work in the NFL, just like Schiano's defense won't work in the NFL.
just like Schiano's defense won't work in the NFL.
Quote from: GrimmReaper on January 07, 2013, 11:54:33 PM just like Schiano's defense won't work in the NFL.what is schematically wrong with schianos defense?
Why did you indulge him? Uggghhhhh I thought the bear was going to sleep
I'm still trying to figure out why a coach that has never won 1 single national championship is in such demand. Saban has about as many national championships as Kelly does 10 win seasons.....and he figured out pretty quickly that he should have stayed at the college level.....even though he had good NFL coaching experience before he became a college HC. Sorry, but I just don't buy the Kelly hype.....but to those that do....more power to you.

by ABC6 News Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis
Make no mistake about it the doors could be closing for good on the Central Coventry Fire Department.
Many residents, especially on fixed incomes, are saying no to a fire department bailout.
"Well I mean it make it more difficult for everybody, if the taxes keep going up and everything," said Coventry resident Dorothy Olivieri.
But taxes could still go up even if the fire department closes.
A judge ruled today Central Coventry taxpayers may have to pay $6 million dollars in fire fighter pension funds.
"The Court can order it to pay those debts, by raising additional money," said Superior Court Judge Brian Stern.
ABC6 Chief Political Reporter Mark Curtis said, "Even if taxpayers reject the district budget, the fire department will not be shut down right away, but it will be on life support."
Eventually though, the judge may grant the wishes of taxpayers, if they want the department liquidated, and all firefighters would be laid off.
"We average about 10 to 15 calls daily. Who is going to respond if there is no one there to respond? People will die, and it's not a scare tactic. I've been accused of scare tactics. It's common sense," said Captain David Gorman of the Firefighters Union.
But others say neighboring fire departments could be paid to cover Central Coventry, and a private ambulance service could be hired.
"I think it's a more affordable alternative. There's many, many towns in Massachusetts that have used private ambulance service to keep their people safe," said State Rep. Patricia Morgan (R-West Warwick-Coventry).
Central Coventry's fire territory covers 25 square miles.
Monday night's fire district annual meeting, and taxpayer budget vote is still on at 7 O'clock.

jQuery slider failing on 1st load?
Can't seem to get rid of this annoying issue. I'm using this plugin:
which seems to work fine but on my implementation the slider doesn't always appear when the website is first loaded. If i click on another page and then click HOME again the slider loads.. but why is it not firing first time, every time?
http://www.dailyshowbusiness.com here is the url. appreciation to anyone who can take a look as it is driving me crazy. (it may load successful first time, it seems random? so you may need to try a few times for it to fail)
Or does anyone know of a similar plugin, this one is also a little sluggish i can't seem to fix? basically i want the 3 smaller images clickable which bring it into full view in the main slider.

Angels center fielder Mike Trout was relieved after an MRI on Wednesday revealed only inflammation in his back. Trout did not play in the Angels' 4-0 win after leaving Tuesday night's game in the second inning with mid-back discomfort. Trout is listed as day-to-day.
Trout sat out last Saturday and Sunday with upper-back stiffness yet decided to play through discomfort in the series opener with the Astros. Trout described his pain level as a "six or seven" on a 10-scale Tuesday and, after striking out and playing an inning in center, opted to pull himself from the game. His back improved Wednesday.
"It actually does (feel better)," Trout said. "But it felt better two days ago and then it acted up a little bit.
"I don't want to go out there and re-aggravate it and keep playing like that for the rest of the year. I want to get it right before I go out there."
Trout recalled having lower-back pain during his days in the minors, but those issues cropped up after some sort of jarring collision. He is at a loss for why his back is aching presently, and he is committed to a new stretching program and a more judicious approach moving forward.
"(Tuesday) before the game I still felt it. I was trying to see if I could go and play," Trout said. "It's one of those things where I know if I don't feel it at all I can play. If I feel it a little bit, I should just be smart about it."
Manager Mike Scioscia said, "I think Mike as a young player, sometimes it's that experience that you need to understand exactly when you need a day and when you can go out there and play. He'll be fine."

Hi everyone !
I'm trying to use MWS on a E65 in order to get location from Cell ID via rest API.
My problem is that MWS only allow me to get location from bluetooth GPS, which is great, but I need Cell ID.
I read about the signing process, but I understood MWS is now signed ?
Thanks for help,

Pretty bad. From AZ Snakepit's Jim McLennan, a list of the five worst seasons in franchise history, with our retiring hero not far from the top of the list:
3. Melvin Mora: 2011, 520 OPS (.228/.244/.276, 135 PA)
In contrast to the back-ups that represent most on this last, Mora was a good deal more expensive earning $2.35 million for his "efforts" last season. Things started badly, as he went 0-for-5 with two GIDPs and a WP of -45.3% on Opening Day, a figure never close to matched by a D-back the rest of the year. Mora's complete lack of power or plate discipline were obvious problems. He hit nothing more than a double, and his 135 PAs was the most by a player in a season with two or less walks, since Rafael Belliard had 148 and two BB for the 1996 Braves. Yeah, in hindsight, this signing should have been strangled at birth.
Granted, it's hard to go wrong with $2.35 million. But the Diamondbacks did. Give them credit, at least for cutting Mora before he could do any more damage.
It was a sorry end to a pretty good career.

FOOTBALL: Exeter win at York
3:31pm Sunday 6th January 2013 in Sport
EXETER City moved up to fifth place in League Two yesterday as they won 2-1 at York City.
On-loan winger Alex Rodman diverted the ball past his own goalkeeper to give Exeter a 14th minute lead.
York were level five minutes later as Michael Potts reacted quickest after Matty Blair's shot was saved.
But Exeter's Jimmy Keohane secured the points with his first goal for the club, shooting under Michael Ingham in the 53rd minute.

John Stossel: Libertarians' awkward bedfellows
We were in Washington, D.C., at the Students for Liberty conference, taping my TV show, and she didn't like my questions about her opposition to gay marriage and drug legalization.
"We're living in a country that is 70 percent socialist," she says. "The government takes 60 percent of your money. They take care of your health care, your pensions ... who you can hire ... and you (libertarians) want to suck up to your little liberal friends and say, oh, we want to legalize pot? ... If you were a little more manly, you'd tell liberals what your position on employment discrimination is."
We do, actually. We say employers ought to get to choose whom they hire. They created the business, so they should be allowed to discriminate against stutterers, TV hosts, old people - anyone they don't want.
But Coulter has a point.
Government rarely makes a dent in people's drug use or their ability to partner with people of their own gender.
"Seventy percent socialism" does much more harm. It kills opportunity and wrecks lives.
But Coulter doesn't just want to downplay "liberal" parts of the libertarian agenda. She opposes them.
When I asked why gays can't marry, she said, "They can - they have to marry a member of the opposite sex."
I see why the students were annoyed by Coulter's shtick.
If Republicans were smart, they'd listen to that rising generation of young people who want government to stay not just out of the economy, but out of our personal lives, too.
Fortunately, some Republicans are onboard with that. Another of my guests was Justin Amash, congressman from Michigan.
The young libertarians admire him, in much the same way they admire Republicans like Sens. Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Jeff Flake; Gov. Gary Johnson; and new Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie.
Amash focuses on government spending. He has pictures of libertarian economists like Murray Rothbard in his office, and he warns that big government - including military spending - will bankrupt America. He's not afraid to call for cuts in popular programs like Medicare, Head Start and food stamps.
After Amash's complaints about government spending, establishment Republicans in Congress kicked him off the budget committee.
One said it was because of the "inability to work with other members."
I asked Amash about that.
"It might be because I wanted to balance the budget," says Amash. "The level of government spending is so insane."
It is. Even if the sequester cuts happen - cuts the left calls "brutal" - in eight years the feds will still spend $5.3 trillion annually ... just a little less than the $5.4 trillion they will spend if no cuts are made.
The "brutal" sequester is anything but. Even the much-feared Paul Ryan budget plan would only reduce the federal debt in 2021 from the $26 trillion President Obama projects to ... $23 trillion.
So with our economic house in disarray, Coulter is right to avoid getting bogged down in fights over drugs and homosexuality. But I prefer the way Amash handled the libertarian-conservative conflict.
Michelle Montalvo of Temple University asked him to "comment on your faith and how you reconcile that with your libertarian beliefs? There are stereotypes about libertarian students, that we're Republicans who love to do drugs, (but) we're not all godless."
Amash answered, "I'm an Orthodox Christian ... and I believe that the government is a hindrance, a lot of times, to our religious liberty." But he doesn't want government to promote Christianity. "Get government out of the way, allow people to make choices. We can't legislate morality and force everyone to agree with us."
The young people at the conference worry about the economy. They worry less about drug use and gay sex - most have come to see those as socially acceptable.
Instead of insulting libertarians or kicking them off congressional committees, it's time for Coulter - and other Republicans - to stop suggesting that those who want the government out of their personal lives are morally suspect.
Then we can concentrate on the important things.

Heb. zeeb, frequently referred to in Scripture as an emblem of treachery and cruelty. Jacob's prophecy, "Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf" (Gen. 49:27), represents the warlike character of that tribe (see Judg. 19-21). Isaiah represents the peace of Messiah's kingdom by the words, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb" (Isa. 11:6). The habits of the wolf are described in Jer. 5:6; Hab. 1:8; Zeph. 3:3; Ezek. 22:27; Matt. 7:15; 10:16; Acts 20:29. Wolves are still sometimes found in Palestine, and are the dread of shepherds, as of old.

Does anyone have any experience with these types of plugs? Any suggestions?

22 ounce bottle into snifter, no bottle dating. Pours pitch black color with a small dark tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of dark chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, toast, toffee, molasses, dark bread, light coffee, raisin, prune, and roasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of dark/roasted malt notes with light fruitiness; and solid strength. Taste of dark chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, toast, toffee, molasses, dark bread, raisin, prune, light coffee, and roasted earthiness. Light roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, toast, toffee, molasses, dark bread, light coffee, dark fruit, and roasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt flavors with light fruitiness; and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a creamy, slick, and lightly chalky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is well hidden with only a small warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good and unique imperial stout. Good balance and complexity of dark/roasted malt flavors; and very smooth to sip on. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Appearance: Brown pint bottle with a white and green label in what I think of as the Cucapá style. Beer poured a very dark black/brown with a thick tan head.
Smell: Dark chocolate malt, a hint of molasses and spice, and just barely a bit of hops. Smells damn fine!
First Drink: Earthy stout flavors - chocolate, caramel, a bit woody, and again just a bit of hops bite.
Mouthfeel: Very thick mouthfeel, a little tacky, but goes down smooth with just a bit of carbonation that keeps the beer flavor going.
Last Drink: More of the bitter hops coming through now, and the high ABV is hidden fairly well.
Drinkability: A beer with a lot of flavor that seems tailor made for slow drinking.
Notes: First beer I have had from this brewery and it seems extremely well crafted! Looking forward to trying more brews from Cucapá. Not overly complex but it hits all the right points on time.

1 pint 6 fl oz brown glass bottle with standard pressure cap served into a nonical Guinness pint glass in me gaff in high altitude Castle Rock, Colorado. Reviewed live. Expectations are average; I mean, a Mexican Imperial Stout? Call me prejudice.
Served straight from the refrigerator and allowed to warm over the course of consumption. Side-poured with standard vigor as n carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: Pours a one finger khaki colour head of pretty nice cream, fair thickness, and above average retention. Colour is a solid nontransparent black. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show.
Sm: Light chocolate, some roast, dark malts, stale milky cream notes, and extremely light indistinct hopping. A moderate strength aroma.
T: Underlying cream, dark malts, light chocolate, a strange note I can't quite place, and hints of poorly handled roast. Rather simple for the style, and certainly a bit strange from that weird note I can't identify. I don't find it horribly enjoyable, but it's better than expected. Decently balanced. Built pretty standardly for the style. Not impressive, unique or special. Not subtle or complex.
Mf: Smooth and wet, with nice cream. Completely wrong for the style, which demands coarseness and dryness. Thickness and carbonation are adequate.
Dr: Drinkable and alright for the style, but not without its flaws. I wouldn't get this again - maybe on draught. A decent offering considering it's a Mexican brewery - as biased as that sounds. Better than expected, to its credit. Hides its ABV pretty well.

Poured from 22 oz. bottle into a Surly Darkness Chalice.
Appearance: Pours a dark and oily black with a little hint of brownish red. Moderate bubbles and a decent two fingers of tan head that slowly fade to a thin layer. Decent amount of lacing on the glass.
Smell: Sweet dark roasted malts with some good hints of dark chocolate, coffee, caramel, and toffee. Also some hints of molasses, anise, and vanilla. Hops are pretty faint. Chocolate and coffee is pretty rich in the aroma. Promising smell.
Taste: A pretty rich tasting stout. Nicely sweet dark roasted malts with good notes of dark chocolate, coffee beans, caramel, toffee, vanilla, and molasses. Light hints of anise and oats. Light presence of earthy hops adds some balance towards the finish. A very good tasting stout.
Mouthfeel: Full bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. Very creamy and rich feel. Somewhat syrupy. Very smooth for a imperial stout.
Overall: Another impressive beer from this brewery. Nicely rich and robust take on a imperial stout. The chocolate and coffee flavors are very solid.

3.63/5 rDev +0.3%
650ml bottle. Weird that the regular version has more ABV than the Winter version. And what's with the Ministry of Love-esque tilted portrait on the labels of this brewery?
This beer pours a solid oily black, thoroughly so, until late-afternoon sun backlighting exposes some lean cola edges. The foamy, bubbly, somewhat creamy mocha head stops at a skinny single finger's depth, before quickly return to whence it came, leaving a few burps of super-surface lace blobs around the meniscus of the glass.
It smells of sweet, candied chocolate, almost Tootsie Roll in nature, caramelized brown sugar, rising pastry, doughy malt, and some plain earthy hop dryness. The taste is much more roasted than the nose let on, though the malt still holds onto its caramel and sweet chocolate base, with some additional spicy, woody, root notes, lingering dark sugar, and somewhat astringent leafy, grassy hops. The biggish booze does well to remain hidden.
The bubbles are pretty restrained, but hardly absent, the body a timid medium weight, a tad creamy, and generally smooth. It finishes somehow dry, amongst the still moderately active choco-caramel malt; perhaps both the understated hops and alcohol conspire in the shadows.
While a decent-tasting affair, this offering's stout credentials need to be questioned - I'm getting much more of a PNW black ale vibe here. Lots of inherent commonalities between the styles, I get it, but I just sense a strong trend in that direction with this one.

Thanks to Jim at Sherbrooke for the sample. From a 650 ml brown bottle. Pours out a dense opaque pitch black, capped by a thick loose creamy beige head.
Roasty malt and espresso, some licorice on the nose. Dry character. Not overly complex yet hits the key notes well.
Very dry flavour. Dry woody, earthy, slightly smoky malt up front--almost astringent. Some warming alcohol fuels a dry heat in the middle. Quick spike of licorice and molasses nearing the finish, while the finish itself has an ash-like smoky dryness.
Medium-bodied mouthfeel, slippery slick texture, moderate carbonation.
Impressive Imperial Stout from Mexico, although to be honest it's more impressive that Mexico is capable of producing beers of this calibre compared to the all-too-well-known varieties of yellow fizzy lagers they pump out into the rest of the world. As far as the beer itself it's more reminiscent of a strong dry Porter than the typical complexities of Imperial Stouts, although it holds its own nonetheless. On a personal note it's somewhat too dry and astringent for me, however there's no real flaws in it.

Sam Dekker and Traevon Jackson each scored 15 points Saturday, helping No. 9 Wisconsin end its three-game losing streak with a 72-58 victory at Purdue.
The Badgers (17-3, 4-3 Big Ten) won for the first time since starting 16-0. It was only their fourth win ever at Mackey Arena.
Terone Johnson and Bryson Scott each had 10 points to lead Purdue, but the Boilermakers (13-7, 3-4) lost their second straight.
Wisconsin relied on an old-school formula to win this one - committing just nine turnovers while limiting the Boilermakers to just 35.4 percent shooting from the field.
Despite making only 13 baskets over the final 34 minutes, the Badgers still managed to turn a three-point halftime lead into a 10-point advantage early in the second half, then fended off one Purdue charge before pulling away late.

"I work in an ER, 12 hours shifts. I go through shoes like crazy. I walk ~8 miles per shift. I like running shoes for their lightness and breathability. These shoes are perfect! They offer good support without being too heavy or hot. Enough cushion on the heel to keep me comfortable. Also, I love the color! Would buy again."

Great colors and fit
"I already have the pink and blue version of these shoes for running and I love them! I can't wait to break these in for my summer running. Plus I got tons of compliments on the colors :)"

"you know how you wear shoes for the first time and they cut into you? That never happened with these. I wore these for a 2 mile walk the very first time and they never broke skin. They are super comfy and fun. I'm really happy with them. They seemed to support my knees, hips and feet when running. They didn't necessarily make me faster or anything, but they are great for comfort and style :)"
