FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say an inmate at the state prison in Florence is dead and suicide is suspected.
Arizona Department of Corrections officials say 41-year-old Joaquin Tamayo died while in custody Monday.
Details of the death weren't immediately released Tuesday.
DOC officials say Tamayo was sentenced out of Maricopa County and was serving a 5-year sentence for armed robbery.
He entered the state prison system on March 12 and was being housed at Eyman complex in Florence.
DOC officials say all inmate deaths are investigated in consultation with the county Medical Examiner's Office.

In Shape For Hunting
"If you're going to be out in the field hunting, one of the main things you're going to be doing is hiking. You're going to be going down a kind of obstacle course, so you want to go out to the area you'll be in and walk around. You want to walk it as much as you can prior to hunting it, and if you're going to be carrying a heavy backpack, take something like that with you."
Heart healthy really is something to keep in mind, and getting your heart a little healthier is possible between now and the time you hit the woods to hunt.
"Exercise thirty minutes a day, 5 days a week, moderate intensity, reaching 150 minutes a week. If you're going to be doing high intensity, do that 3 days a week, 25 minutes a day, totaling 75 minutes a week. There's also weight lifting, resistance training-they recommend 2 days a week." says Britt.
Don't get intimidated or discouraged if you aren't able to jump right out the door and do a thirty minute, high intensity walk. Britt says you can break it down into manageable segments until you're in better shape.
"You can start out by getting up in the morning, walk 10 minutes, go in, eat breakfast and walk another 10 minutes at lunch then another 10 minutes at dinner. You can do it like that and not start right off getting 30 all at once if you feel like you can't." says Britt.
The important thing is to get out and get yourself as ready as possible for hunting season. Be smart, get some hiking time in and I'll see you at the check station.

But there will also be sadness for the teacher who won't be there.
Jennifer Gann Hyche, a teacher at the school for the past 12 years, died on July 24 at Princeton Baptist Medical Center in Birmingham after a sudden illness. She was 36.
Her death has brought sadness and a sense of loss to not only the staff at T.R. Simmons, but also to the students who were in her class over the last few years.
"It's been tough for us," said Dr. Suzanne Snow, the principal at T.R. Simmons who also served as a mentor to Hyche.
Scarlett Braddock, a teacher at the school, was among Hyche's closest friends.
"We had a relationship outside of school. She was just like a shoulder for me to cry on when I needed it," Braddock said Thursday. "I've seen what Jennifer did here and the differences she made not only in the kids' lives and our lives as teachers, but also the lives of the parents."
Even prior to the birth of Hyche's son, John Cohen, Braddock said Hyche found it easy to work with her students and love them as if they were her own.
"It's hard for a lot of parents to understand how a teacher who doesn't have a child could love someone else's child," Braddock said. "And that is hard when you have a teacher who doesn't have a child themselves. Parents will sometimes worry about that. They didn't have to worry about that with Jennifer."
"She made a personal bond with each parent and each child," Snow said.
Hyche loved and supported all her students, Braddock said, but she paid special attention to those who needed that little bit of added attention.
"Her heart was toward the ones who needed it the most," Braddock said. "Her heart was toward the less fortunate kids, toward the special needs children. She made sure the kids were taken care of."
"She made sure they had what they needed," Snow said.
"The students with special needs never knew they had special needs when they were with her," said longtime T.R. Simmons teacher Cindy Matthews.
"Nobody was distinguished differently," Snow said. "Everybody was treated equally. You just knew you could trust her with your kids. It was an unspoken trust that she created not only with the parents but also with the grandparents and with the children."
Because of that, "the children did not want to disappoint her," Snow added.
Students returning to class this week will be affected by Hyche's absence, Snow said. Counselors will be at the school this week to talk with students who may be having a hard time dealing with Hyche's death. Parents who may be suffering because of her death can also talk to a counselor at the school.
"It will affect the children more than we realize," Snow said. "Some will outwardly let us know how it's affecting them. It's a good thing that children are resilient, but this will be something in their life that they will never forget."
"I especially think of the children she had in her class last year," Braddock said, "and how it's going to affect them."
"My grandson was going to be in Jennifer's class this year, and he was just devastated when he found out about her death," Matthews said. "He had said that she was going to be his dream teacher. And it's not that he didn't love every teacher he's had, he just loved Jennifer that much."
A special Facebook page was created following Hyche's death as a tribute to her.
"Facebook and all social media can be used so negatively, especially by teenagers," Braddock said, "but former students who are now in high school created this Facebook page and it's so sweet. It's a tribute to her. Many of them posted about how she was their favorite teacher. I just thought, for once, Facebook was used in a positive way to remember somebody."
Once of Hyche's special characteristics in teacher was her ability to remain calm in all situations.
"Jennifer never raised her voice," Snow said. "She had phenomenal classroom management. Her level of expectation was extremely high, and her students wanted to reach that level. She was loving but firm."
"She knew how to keep her class under control, but in a loving way," said Marybeth Culbreth, a fourth-grade teacher at the school who will assume many of Hyche's roles. "Nobody wanted to disappoint her."
"The kids in her room knew the type of mother she was," Braddock said, with tears in her eyes. "The ones who didn't have a mom looked up to her."
Hyche spent 12 years teaching at T.R. Simmons. It was her first and only teaching job.
"You can't be with children seven hours a day and not affect the children in one way or another," Culbreth said. "She affected them, obviously, in a positive way. She encouraged the kids to always do their best."
"She had teaching in her blood," Snow said. "It was just natural for her. We all just feel blessed to have worked with her and we learned so much from her, even though she didn't have the years that many of us have.
"She did her job, and she did it phenomenally well."

Take 63 puppies playing faux football and add nine hedgehog cheerleaders in tutus and 21 kittens performing during a halftime show and you've got what might be an overload of cuteness — it's Puppy Bowl IX!
Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl IX will air from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday. The Los Angeles Times sums up the premise: During the low-key football game, the puppies are placed on a 3-by-6 yard field with a bunch of plush chew toys shaped like footballs, ducks and sausages and are left alone to play. Eventually a puppy will manage to drag a chew toy into an end zone and the referee, Dan Schachner, will declare a touchdown has been scored.
And don't forget the half-dozen hamster reporters that fly above the puppy stadium in a blimp!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, also new to this year's Puppy Bowl is a cool down tub where puppies can rest, new "Puppy Cam" technology that will get viewers closer to the action with "in your face" camera angles and special cameras to show some of the best moments in slow motion.
What's more? All of the animals featured in Puppy Bowl IX come from shelters and rescue organizations across the United States and Puerto Rico. And last, year Animal Planet's pet-rescue site Petfinder.com saw a 22 percent increase in visits and a 32 percent jump in search referrals, including a 500 percent increase in referrals from Animal Planet's website as a result of the Puppy Bowl.
Will you be watching all the cuteness that is Puppy Bowl IX? Tell us in comments.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Double Standard
Once again the NFL's television coverage proved that there is a gigantic double standard when it comes to Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
After the AFC Championship Game Belichick was lambasted by CBS analyst Shannon Sharpe after skipping out on a post-game interview with the network, something Belichick told the network what he was going to do if the Patriots had lost two days before the game.
So the reaction had to have been the same when 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh pulled the same stunt after Super Bowl XLVII right? Wrong. There was no mention of Harbaugh skipping the interview on the CBS broadcast, Sharpe did not say a word about the incident and it was essentially ignored by all media outlets.
Once again Belichick is treated differently because he is an easy target and a boring quote. His actions, whether right or wrong, are always looked at through a microscope and have greater consequences than anybody else's. I guess that's what happens when you're the best at what you do, but that doesn't excuse Sharpe from being a hypocrite.
Real MVP
Joe Flacco deserves a ton of credit for the Ravens winning Super Bowl XLVII Sunday, but he was not the game's most valuable player, in fact he was third fiddle.
It's always easy to give the MVP to the quarterback because he plays the most difficult and most important position on the field, but the most clutch player in Super Bowl XLVII was Anquan Boldin.
Flacco was a first half warrior throwing for nearly 200 yards and three touchdowns. In the second half, with the game on the line, Flacco just survived, and he was helped immensely by Boldin.
Every time the Ravens needed to make a play on offense Boldin made it by either getting open and beating a defensive back or fighting for a ball that Flacco threw up for grabs because he had so much confidence Boldin would come down with the ball. Boldin's catch on third and inches in the fourth quarter, that set up what turned out to be the game winning field goal, was the biggest play of the game, bigger than any throw Flacco made.
Jacoby Jones also made a strong case for MVP with his great catch and run for a touchdown late in the first half and his Super Bowl record 108 yard kickoff return.
Trade Rumors
According to reports from the Sporting News, the Los Angeles Clippers are making a hard push to acquire Celtics forward Kevin Garnett.
The deal reportedly revolves around Clippers guard Eric Bledsoe and forward Caron Butler.
If the Celtics make this deal they have officially given up on the season and are essentially building for the future.
Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge, however, should not pull the trigger on this deal. Not that trading Garnett and looking to the future is a bad thing that Ainge shouldn't explore, but the team can do better than Bledsoe and Butler for one if it's top players and leaders.

It's interesting that the reviews have been varied, but mostly positive. Only one review (positive) was about this beer from tap. We all know that the biggest problem facing the beer producer is shelf stability of bottled product for all sorts of reasons, so the variability can be due to this.
There is no doubt that this beer, when sampled fresh from tap, in Lindau on September 28/29 and 30 2012, does, in fact, punch well above it's weight for a Munich Helles style. Much comment has been made about the stronger hopping of this brew relative to the maltier helles of Munich and this is a feature I really like, being mainly a German Pils drinker. So it was a surprise to find this cleaner tasting, less complicated brew. The appearance was clear gold, and there was little hop aroma, as expected when Tettnang hops are employed, just the typical faint malty aroma of the style. The taste was the differentiator here, as many reviewers noted. The extra bitterness really boosted the style to a new level in my opinion, and it slipped down a treat. Definitely above average for it's style.
We need to watch out for the Allgaeu because trying this, and the excellent Farny Pilsner showed they are making some seriously good beer in this region, and it's worth watching for sure.

Very, very pale golden body: the beer before this was a Warsteiner and the difference in colour was obvious: and that isn't a really deep golden yellow either. Usual helles/pilsner/lager white, thin covering for a head, I did pour it vigorously and a large head appeared initially, but by the time I'd picked up my pen to comment it had subsided greatly.
I found the beer to be odourless and bland from start to finish and although refreshing, bright, clear and clean it was just a fizzy, weak excuse for a beer. Looking at other reviews of this beer has got me slightly worried: am I missing something many have found or are they getting carried away with flavours and aromas they've imagined? This was the middle beer of three during the mini session I was having and it was by far the worst of them: Alpirsbacher Pilsner being the third beer.
I'll call it delicate if you wish, but it didn't do anything for me at all. It reminded me of cheap hot weather lagers served up along the shores of the Mediterranean in Spain or Italy.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is a light gold color, with a thin white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains light malts, lager yeast, a touch of hops and some honey.
T: The taste starts out with a honey and thin malt sweetness followed by some mild grain breadiness. The hops presence is also mild and brings a little bit of balance. The after-taste is likewise sweet.
M: Smooth and a little crisp, light-to-medium body, light-to-medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
D: A little tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, mild kick, decent representation of style, there are better beers in the style but it's worth drinking for a while.

I rather nice example of an Munich Helles. It features a reasonable hoppiness, more than an average Helles.
Golden in color with a white head, that quickly disolves.
Very clean malt palate and not much bitterness. Some herbal aromas and rather strong carbonation.
Well made, but not my favourite.

Beer review from BA Mag Dec 2007.
To clarify, the Weiss in this beer's name is the last name of the owners and has nothing to do with wheat, so this is not a weissbier. We've also been told that this particular beer is brewed with a generous amount of Tettnang hops.
A nearly brimming foam shows some action from the carbonation, good head retention and a perfect clarity in the bright pale-yellow color. Big aroma of noble hops, slightly spicy, lemony and sweet herbal notes in the dry malty nose. The rousing crispness wakes up the palate. Fluffy moderate-sized body. Hops are not shy here; bitterness comes in strong and the flavor is both complex and broad with a thick sweet herbal tone. Maltiness is dry but sturdy enough to hold this beer together, mild biscuity and grassy flavors from the grain. Alcohol is faint but a touch noticeable due to the dry character. Very clean throughout with a long trail of herbal hop and dry grain in the finish.
Drinkability is high even with a complex flavor profile, which is very impressive from hops to malt and back. This one is in the running to be the next top desert island beer of ours. Put Weiss-Gold on your must-have list now.

A: Poured a lemon-gold with a bright clarity and a frothy and fizzy 1+ finger bright white head that lapsed to a whispy covering. The lacing was slight, barely mentionable while the visible carbonation was a faint whisper. Per style (helles) I would say this had a good appearance.
S: The initial aroma yielded a husky graininess with some light and sweetly toasted grains. A light floral lemon hopping, fresh and wet, accompanies a fresh breadiness as well paying tribute to the fine german craftsmanship.
T: The fresh breadiness takes center stage here while soft lemon and herbal hop compliment and accents a nice malty scent making this a nice welcome and change from the hop dominated lager styles. The flavor is clean and crisp, with sweet fresh grains and a lightly buttered bread touch that finishes out with soft herbal notes. Theres a wet lemon citrus that adds a bit of twang, but never overshadows the guest of honor, the fine german malting. Sweet buttery but ultimately clean and crsip makes you aware and appreciate that there is more to life in beer then hops alone.
M: light buttery slick and extremely soft carbonation wise. Very easy on the tongue.
D: Good drinkability and enjoyment, a little buttery sweet but makes for a great change of pace while paying tribute to the old fine german tribute of malt first. A nice session lager and prost worthy.

Pours a golden straw color with an average soapy white head that left a sparse cap as it settled. The aroma is sweet, slight honey and a touch grainy, not very pronounced. The taste is of a very light doughy munich malt and grassy noble hops; a bit grainy and watery. The feel is fairly light with tingly carbonation; finishes grainy sweet. A very light and dull helles lager. Not much flavor from the munich malt at all. It just doesn't have that doughy characteristic that your helles lagers usually have. Besides being very light for the style, the beer drinks very easy. There is a nice balance between the malt and grassy hops and no off-putting flavors. Good summer time brew but I had to rate it low as it doesn't quite live up to the style.

Another beer from the $1 store, so far these have been worth drinking. One was quite solid, the other, so so...
Pours a hazy gold color with a fleeting white head.
Aromas are of some mineral hops, bready and dough like malts, and a light herbal note.
Taste has a creamy malt flavor, some dough, cereal gains, breads, and a light spiciness. Finish is dry, with a really clean mineral hop bite.
Drinkability is good. This is a pretty nice lager, especially with the price I paid. All in all, a good sessionable summer brew.

A- clear golden color. Finger of white head. Some lacing.

T- Mostly dominated by the malt backbone, but its not very sweet. There is also some lemon and a very subtle hop taste that give just a slight bitterness to the finish.

Mildly foggy gold with a thin white head. Nose is sweet. Grain sweetness. Flavor brings much of the same. Not a large mass of complexity. Fairly smooth and decently consistent. Feel is smooth on liquid. Carbonation bites a bit, but not overly full. Easy to drink. Nothing wild or crazy, but it works. I can dig it

I poured this very average beer into my tumbler at 50 degrees. The beer was cloudy and the color of pee. It had fine bubbles with a white headthat quickly decated. Lacing was decent. The beer smelled yeasty and like a fresh cut tomato. The beer was crisp and clean though watery. I would buy again.

This is a nice, tasty helles.
Deep, bright gold it has a large, creamy, faintly off-white head that slowly shrinks to a thin lasting top and leaves some nice lace.
The aroma is strongly bready and herbal with grain and some lemon, pine, and hay. It's very nice.
The taste is similar and also excellent with bread, honey, a lot of herb, hints of lemon and pine as well as a sweet honey flavour with light herbal bitterness, but after the first few sips, it becomes slightly sweeter and blander, losing the wonderful initial balance and complxity. It still stays very tasty, thugh, with some complexity and it is very smooth and highly drinkable. The feel is creamy and smooth, yet lively and zesty. it is also very clean.

Pours a transparent and very pale yellow color with a small white head and tons of visible rising carbonation. Toasty, corny and grainy characters in the nose with a hint at a hop kick. Lemon zest, clean yeast, pepper, banana, apple and semi sweet caramel malt come through more while tasting. A bit of funk on the after taste but all in all the beer is very balanced. Light in body and pretty drinkable. Worth a shot for fans of German lagers, no doubt.

Meckatzer pours a brilliantly clear golden body (@3 SRM). The short head of bright white holds for a few moments, and then starts a quick descent. Lacing, however, is better than fair with lots of tiny spots and specks left behind.
The aroma is clean and sweetly-malty. It's lightly bready (think of a subtle toastiness) and grainy. Floral and grassy hops flitter about, accenting it.
In the flavor, the malt is less sweet than the nose suggests, and the hops are more present. The beautiful maltiness dominates, but the hops are also quite easy to pick out. The bitterness follows that course as well, being at a level that's restrained enough to allow the malt to shine up front before cutting through it and carrying you to a dry, herbal, floral, and just mildly grassy finish.
Very nicely done. Superbly balanced. Quite quaffable!

Beautiful clear golden color, well carbonated with lasting snow white foam. Nose is very clean and refreshing, some light straw aromas with hints of walnuts and citrus. I really dig the nose on this one. Hops are very subtle, just backing the grains enough to achieve a perfect balance of grains and green.
The beer goes down clean with lots of carbonation to spare, it is very refreshing and have no flaws on the finish.
This is the type of lager I prefer, clean, simple and refreshing. I could have 6 in one day if my doctor recommended it.

This is a good looking lager. In a mug, clear gold and a white one inch head that receded rather quickly. Lace sticks around (unlike an american lager). Smells like lightly cooked barley, a tad skunk, and minerally. Tastes clean, crisp, again minerally, slight noble hop bitterness backs up the grain. I mean it's a bit too minerally maybe almost a little metallic. It's a tad better than its american look-alikes but it isn't astounding. I'm sure it's better from the source.

Pours a clear, golden color with a 2-finger white head. Lots of carbonation seen rising. Decent lacing.
Aroma is sweet, light hops, some grassiness.
Taste is of light malts, sweet, light hops and some yeastiness. Overall, quite light and very clean.
Mouthfeel is light bodied, crisp and cleansing.
Overall, a decent brew. Very sessionable. Easy drinking and quite good for the style.

.33L bottle from the source.
Pours slightly hazy with a very pale golden color, topped with a frothy, tight, creamy head that's got plenty of glass stickage.
Aroma is soft, with a light hay note, faint floral, and hint of herbal.
Smooth and creamy on the palate, with an underlying and refreshing crispness. Light-bodied, but it leans towards medium due to the creaminess and round sweetness that begins to emerge. Nice, well-round mouthfeel. Light sugary note, bread, and Grape Nuts. Hint of golden syrup. Underlying herbal hop note. Clean finish with a residual sweet linger.
Despite it's appearance, this is a very flavorful lager and a pleasure to have tried. My only criticism is that perhaps it's a bit too sweet, which masks the hop subtleties.

Slender 11.2 oz. bottle, with a bavarian checker pattern on the label. "Classic Bavarian Golden Lager"
Pours a pale yet bright golden tone. Swarm of bubbles rise to the surface. Foam is bone white, and leaves a coating of lace. Tiny bubbles rise slowly.
Grassy noble hop aroma, strong when the bottle was opened, and subdued a few minutes later.
Mild hop bite is felt with a big swig, even in a small sip. Dry papery taste of light malt and yeast. Light bodied and a little gaseous. Vague honeyish apple aftertaste without sweetness. Easy to drink a few, best in the warmer months. Paired well with a handful of cashews.

Golden in color, full, with a not too compact head, white. It seeems to be too carbonated.
The smell is very malty, but also quite hopped, with a good balance. Herbal, fresh and inviting.
The start is malty, quickly covered by a good hopping, quite bitter. Aftertaste quite persistent of hop.
It is full in maltness and in hoppiness too, with a good balance. But the taste is a little less clean then the smell.
Good body. Maybe a little too carbonated.

Photo: Los Angeles' Homegirl Cafe Gives Troubled Youth a Second Chance
Homegirl Cafe offers work to young people who live in violent surroundings, as in the case of Pamela Diaz, who was unable to find a job after leaving prison in February 2011.
Pamela grew up in a tough environment where she even got to the point of sharing with her own mother and sister the drugs she had been addicted to from the age of 15.
Though never a member of a street gang herself, she used to hang out with some of the dangerous delinquents she had known from childhood in the poor East Los Angeles neighborhood where she was born.
But in November 2011, Homegirl Cafe gave her a hand to get ahead, something no one in her life had ever done for her.
She took classes to learn to be a good mother, having had two children taken away by social services, and was given counseling to help her start having controlled visits to the daughter she gave birth to in jail and was also on the point of losing.
The founder of Homegirl Cafe is Mexican-born Pati Zarate, a community activist and chef who was the secretary of the Rev. Greg Boyle when the Jesuit priest founded Homeboy Industries as part of an effort to rehabilitate former gangmembers in the Boyle Heights neighborhood.
While still working with Father Greg, Zarate developed a catering business out of her home in the Dolores Mission community.
She opened her first restaurant, El Zarape, in the neighborhood and, in accord with the philosophy behind Homeboy Industries, Chef Pati employed young women from troubled backgrounds.
In 2005 came the Homegirl Cafe, a restaurant that helps women like Pamela, who today has full custody of her little girl and is at last free of her drug addiction.
"I love this work and the chance they've given me. I have supervisors who know who I am, I don't have to hide it, but I also get a lot of help from therapy and classes when I need them," Diaz told Efe about her job as a Homegirl Cafe waitress.
Some 40 young women work full time in the restaurant and in total there are about 145 people who are trained at the cafe as well as in related companies like Homeboy Bakery and Homeboy Farmers Markets.
Diaz's story is linked to that of Sara Gaitan, who is in charge of planting and harvesting some of the vegetables and herbs used at the cafe in one of the Homegirl Gardens.
"I was into the world of street gangs from the time I was 13 and was hit by a bullet in the chest at 18. At age 20 I went to jail for the first time and when I got out, there was no way I could find work. Homeboy Industries and Homegirl Cafe gave me the chance to change my life," she told Efe.
Like many women who work in the cafe, Gaitan had no stable family structure, and after her father died she let herself be dragged into the hectic world of the streets.
"There's no love like the love of the homeys, which isn't like the love of a family but it's almost better, but there comes a point when the line between love and big trouble is erased, and it's only when we're older that we realize the difference and then it's often too late," she said.
But everything has changed now for Gaitan, who for 18 months has been in charge of this organic vegetable garden, one of four with which Homegirl Cafe plans to produce 30 percent of all the vegetables and herbs it uses by the end of the year.
About 10,000 people approach Homeboy Industries annually looking for work, to have a tattoo removed or to attend training courses.

Liberals like to say that the Tea Party caused Americas credit rating to decrease. There is no evidence of this from Standard & Poor. And Liberals also say that there was no compromise in the recent raising of the debt ceiling. Considering Democrats control the Executive Branch and 50% of Congress any bill which becomes law has to, by its very nature, be a compromise.
And even if the Tea Party had a mind control machine why didnt Democrats raise the debt ceiling when they controled 66% of the Federal Government?
The logic of the Left is not only faulty but its shameful that, with few facts to back their assertions up, Liberals rely on the old moral imperative argument.
This tactic has been used repeatedly by Liberals when they are short on facts. Fighting Global Warming is a moral imperative! Let me just get out my checkbook! Wasting hundreds of billions of dollars on money losing solar panels and wind farms which chop up birds is a moral imperative! How dare you question us sending your tax dollars to build more of these silly machines!
I am not necessarily against raising taxes (or closing those loopholes) but I view it as trying to bail water out of a boat with a screen door for a hull.

Wow -- congrats to the team! As someone who was on a state championship HS track team long ago and far away, I can say that the sense of pride in the sustained effort and teamwork that culminated in this accomplishment will last these young women far into their futures.
One question: If we must be gender-specific, "She-Wolves" sounds much fiercer than Lady Wolves. Can't we at least call 'em She-Wolves? Sounds like they've earned it!

Intuit, the company behind Quicken and Quickbooks is giving a local business a shot at its own commercial during the Super Bowl but the woman owned company needs your help and votes right now.
Krista Stevenson owns Go Green Cleaning in Roanoke. She started her business five years ago.
Krista entered Intuits' contest and has now advanced to round two. She's trying to get votes right now because the entries will soon be narrowed down to 20. Intuit will cover the cost of developing and producing a 30-second commercial for the winning business and pay for the advertising time during the Super Bowl in February.
Krista says winning an ad in the big game would be quite the score. "I particularly know how hard it is to start a small business without having a lot of money so having Intuit come in and offer a Super Bowl commercial to give a small business a chance is juts a great opportunity," she said.

Reviewgium – Volume I, issue II
Amorphis has returned with a new singer and consequently, a heavier and more vigorous album. Eclipse has a very refined and well-produced sound with strong, melodic songs, and powerful vocals.
The album starts with an eerie synthesizer intro that leads into the driving beat of "Two Moons," a song rich with pounding riffage and heavy, gritty vocals. "House of Sleep" follows quickly with a catchy, melodic guitar rhythm, and delivers great vocal harmonies throughout. About 2/3 into the song, an ethereal keyboard/synthesizer duet segues into one of the album's many clever key shifts. As "Leaves Scar" begins with a soft airy melody, it seems you are going to get a little break from the action…but no…a heavy riff begins and ushers in a nice, brutal death vocal verse, eliminating any doubt that Amorphis is fooling around with this album. Adding to the brutality is the explosive "Perkele," and almost highlandish "Brother Moon," as well as the album highlight "The Smoke." Things slow down, but do not lessen in intensity, with the songs "Under a Soul and Black Stone," and "Same Flesh," and the album finishes off with the fundamental rocker "Empty Opening" and somewhat inconsequential bonus track "Stone Woman."
I highly recommend this album to new listeners and older fans alike. Whatever edge and intensity Amorphis may have lost with the last few albums, they have regained with Eclipse. Again, it is more refined and a better quality album soundwise than say, Elegy. Take that as you will.

DANVILLE — One man was taken to the hospital after several shots were fired during the afternoon in the Fair Oaks Housing Complex.
Danville police responded to the scene around 2:20 p.m. Monday after a man called 911 from the 900 block of Campbell Lane reporting that he had been shot.
Danville Police Deputy Director Doug Miller said the victim — a 28-year-old man with a Danville address — told police he was walking along the street with a friend at the time of the incident.
The man said he had noticed a group of people standing in a parking lot near Wakley Drive and Lewis Lane when someone started firing shots. He was struck in the leg as he ran away.
Miller said the leg injury was not life-threatening and the man was taken to the hospital for treatment. A woman walking farther down the street told police she also suffered a graze wound from one of the bullets fired. She did not require hospitalization.
No other injuries were reported.
Miller said it did appear several shots were fired at the scene. No one had been taken into custody as of late Monday afternoon and an investigation into the incident was continuing.
Police also are investigating several calls from the weekend, including:
--Several shots fired around 2:15 a.m. Sunday at a man in the 200 block of Lahn Street.
According to Miller, the man received a call to go out in front of his home. He approached subjects sitting in a black car when the shots were fired, shattering the rear windshield of a vehicle in the driveway.
The man fled from the car and was uninjured.
--An attempted robbery of a Great Wall Restaurant delivery man around 6:20 p.m. Saturday in the 900 block of Washington Street.
Miller said the 41-year-old restaurant employee was delivering an order to a home when he was approached by a black man wielding a long stick or limb.
The suspect raised the stick and began to approach the delivery man, who dropped the food and assumed a fighting stance. The suspect then turned and fled the scene.
The man was described as in his 30s with a medium build wearing a long-sleeved black shirt.

Mahi are a pelagic species that can sometimes be found migrating in schools of hundreds or even thousands of fish. This video shows a school of small "peanuts" following one of their friends, who has been hooked. Mahi are commonly known to follow other hooked fish, and anglers often keep the hooked fish in the water to score an easy mahi bite.

To understand your ancestor it's important to know what sort of education was available at that time and in that area, if any. We need to find out what schools were available for our ancestors to attend in the area in which they lived. First we need to know something of the educational system in New South Wales.
Here is a brief timeline of some milestones in the history of education in New South Wales.
1788 - no provision for education of the children of convicts or soldiers.
early 1800s - only schools were private "academies" and "public" schools subsidies or fully-funded by government but run by the Anglican Church.
1801 - Female Orphan School founded to prepare destitute girls for domestic service.
1819 - Male Orphan School founded for destitute boys.
1826-1833 - Clergy and Schools Corporation, run by Anglican Church and funded by grant of one seventh of all land in the Colony. Unpopular with other denominations and private landholders. Repealed in 1833.
1844 - Select Committee found only half of all children going to school.
1848 - Board of National Education introduced government education system. Local communities had to contribute one third of building costs, pay school fees and provide committee to run the school. New National Schools were built mostly in country areas where no schools currently existed provided a minimum of 30 pupils were enrolled, and fees paid.
1866 - Public Schools Act - restrictions on denominational schools, inspection of schools. National Schools became Public Schools, with minimum of 25 pupils. Provisional Schools, where the number was reduced even further, and Half-Time Schools, where a single teacher had to cover two schools, also introduced. The number of schools increased dramatically in the country, where they were most needed.
1870s - school available to almost all children but many attended irregularly or for brief periods. Most denominational schools except Catholic had closed or become government schools.
1880 - Public Instruction Act made attendance at school compulsory for 6-14 year olds. Secondary education introduced to prepare for university, with high fees. Funding was withdrawn from denominational schools resulting in the closure or absorption of many of them. New types of schools were introduced. Superior Public Schools combined primary and secondary education. High Schools were purely secondary schools, with high fees and low enrolments, intended to prepare students for university. Evening Public Schools were intended to cater for young people who had missed out on an education before it became compulsory, and ran at night. replaced the Council of Education with the Department of Public Instruction.
1890s - economic depression reduced spending on school buildings and many teachers retrenched, resulting in large class sizes in poor classrooms.
1904 - New Syllabus introduced – learning by doing.
1911 - High School fees abolished. Intermediate Certificate after two years of High School, and Leaving Certificate after a further two years.
1920s - more pre-vocational and academic courses introduced in High Schools
1914-1945 - World Wars and Great Depression reduce funding for schools and teachers
1961 - Wyndham Scheme introduced – Four years of High School for School Certificate, further two years for Higher School Certificate.

An enhancement project is a project that acquires habitat for preservation, or improves habitat quality and ecosystem function above baseline conditions, and that meets all of the following requirements:
- Is located within or immediately adjacent to California marine waters, as defined in California Government Code (subdivision (i) of Section 8670.3);
- Has measurable outcomes within a predetermined timeframe.
- Is designed to acquire, restore, or improve habitat or restore ecosystem function, or both, to benefit fish and wildlife.
The "Grant Application and Administrative Procedures Guide for the EEF Grant" and application form, as well as "Frequently Asked Questions", are available for download from this page. Questions may also be sent via e-mail to email@example.com

KANSAS CITY -- Robinson Cano, captaining the American League Home Run Derby team, chose Prince Fielder, Jose Bautista and Mark Trumbo to be his teammates.
He did not choose the Royals' Billy Butler. And Kansas Citians were not happy about this perceived snub; they let Cano know loud and clear during the Derby, first by beginning a "Bil-ly But-ler" chant, then by booing loudly when Cano came to the plate, and cheering even more loudly each time Cano failed to hit a ball over the wall; the loudest roar came on Cano's closest miss, a ball that banged off the wall just barely short of home-run distance. Cano, after winning the 2011 Derby, failed to hit a single ball over the fence this year.
Outraged tweets sent Tuesday night bashed the locals for bashing Cano, but as one who was sitting among them in the right-field seats, I can tell you that this was done all in good fun. Kansas Citians were laughing, not angry; it was a Bronx cheer for the man from the Bronx Bombers. Beyond that, some area residents might have pretty long memories:
During the second half of the 1950s, folks derisively referred to the Kansas City A's as a "farm team" of the New York Yankees. Trades between the two—often lopsided—were commonplace, and it seemed every time the Yankees needed that one final piece for yet another pennant run, the A's filled the gap.
Clete Boyer, Hector Lopez, Ralph Terry and Roger Maris, among others, were players shipped to the Yankees from the Kansas City A's in that era for little or no useful return; all helped New York win five straight pennants from 1960-64, while the A's were three-time 100-game losers.
So while some antipathy to New York runs strong in Kansas City, the booing was for entertainment, not rage. Did it psych Cano out a little? Maybe. All part of the gamesmanship of baseball, I think.
When I arrived at my seat, in section 251, row EE, I thought I'd be perfectly positioned to snag a Derby home run from one of the four lefthanded sluggers. I came away empty-handed, but one of Carlos Beltran's blasts landed about six rows in front of me, and another Beltran bomb about six rows behind nearly landed in the suites. Watching Prince Fielder's sky shots splash into the fountain close-up was a unique way to watch this mostly-meaningless, just-for-fun event.
Mostly meaningless, except for the perceived dissing of the local favorite. It happened in 2011, too; Diamondbacks fans were upset that Fielder, the NL captain last year, didn't choose Arizona's Justin Upton.
Perhaps this should lead to a change in the selection process; require the captain of the host team's league to take one slugger from that team. You don't think this will happen again in 2013 if David Wright isn't chosen to participate at the Home Run Derby at Citi Field? Every team has at least one batting-practice bomber. It would have made for much more fun for Kansas Citians to see the local hero, Butler, take his cuts at the K Monday night. If MLB doesn't make this small change, expect another of baseball's All-Stars to get booed during the derby a year from now in New York City.

The Craft of Research [book]
This classic book on writing a college research paper is easily skimmed or deep enough for the truly obsessed researcher, explains the whole research process from initial questioning, through making an argument, all the way to effectively writing your paper.
This link is to the Google Books preview. But buy a secondhand copy for yourself. It's worth the $8 bucks.
The Research Process
1. State your problem as a question as succinctly as possible.
2. 'Brain dump': Write down what you already know about your topic, including
- Names of people, organizations, companies, time period you are interested in, places of interest [countries, regions, cities], conceptual terms...
3. Decide what disciplinary methodologies you plan to use: e.g., sociology, political science, literature, psychology...
4. Fill in the gaps in your knowlege: get background information from specialized encyclopedias or other secondary sources. Wikipedia can sometimes be good here, or Google News.
5. Select the best places/ databases to find information on your topic from the Library's list of databases by subject. Or use a catalog like Oskicat or Melvyl to search for books and other resources.
6. Use nouns from your brain dump as search terms.
7. Evaluate what you find. Change search terms to get closer to what you really want.
8. Refine Your Search Words - Using the information you have gathered, determine if your research words should be narrower or broader. You may need to search basic resources again using your new, focused topics and keywords.
Library Workshop: Research 101
Unsure how to start a paper or research project? Think maybe you could stand to brush up on search strategies?
If this sounds familiar, Library Workshop: Research 101 has you covered. This interactive tutorial explores six stages of the research process. You can view it from start to finish, or focus on specific sections as needed:
Starting strategies, from choosing a topic to finding the right keywords.
The publication timeline, scholarly vs. popular sources, and differences in academic disciplines.
Search for books and other items in OskiCat, Cal's local library catalog.
Locate and access articles in library research databases.
How to cite your sources correctly.
Common techniques for constructing searches that yield useful results.
Specialized search strategies for targeting specific topics.
Proxy server
To use library databases from off campus you have to set up the proxy server: this changes your browser settings.
