Northwest Regional Airport
ROANOKE — By now, you've likely seen the incredible video of a small plane landing that went wrong at Northwest Regional Airport on Saturday.
The footage shows the landing gear of an incoming Cessna hitting the top of a sport utility vehicle as it drove along a road at the north end of the runway.
The images are bringing new attention to an ongoing safety concern — that road is just feet from the runway, with only the word STOP painted on the ground and no other warnings for motorists.
Northwest Regional Airport is privately-owned, and the FAA has no jurisdiction over it. But the federal agency does have some questions, and officials are headed to Denton County for some answers.
Saturday's dramatic collision between the single-engine aircraft and the SUV is the latest accident at Northwest Regional. NTSB records show there have been nine incidents in recent years, including one that ended with a small plane landing on top of another in May, 2008.
"We have over 127,000 operations annually," said airport manager Glen Hyde, "so based on the number of operations, that's not uncommon."
A Google Maps aerial photograph of the runway taken several years ago shows an arrow designating where planes can land moved away from the north end of the runway.
Today, the arrow is at the edge of the landing strip.
The airport's owner said the marker was first moved because of a dangerous fence made of railroad ties located just beyond the end of the runway. When the airport installed a breakaway plastic fence, the landing marker was moved back.
"It wouldn't make any difference," Hyde said. "The pilots would have the option to come in and make short field landings."
The FAA said officials will examine whether the private road at the north end of the runway is adequately marked, and whether the signs are clear enough for motorists to understand they are crossing in front of an active runway.
"The parties have already admitted in the SUV that they frequent the [airport's] restaurant," Hyde said. "They are already familiar with the wait and look for airplanes, and the video speaks for itself: They didn't stop at the STOP painted on the road."
The airport is working with land owners on both sides of the runway to make it safer. That may include cutting down a grove of trees on the south end of the runway to make it easier to see.

SMTOWN Live World Tour III in Singapore concluded successfully!November 25, 2012
The 'SMTOWN Live World Tour III in Singapore' concert was successfully held for the first time in Singapore on November 23rd at possibly one of the most scenic venues – The Float @ Marina Bay. With the beautiful Singapore city skyline in the background, SMTOWN artists – Girls' Generation, BoA, TVXQ, f(x), SHINee, Super Junior, Kangta and EXO, performed a total of 50 hit songs in the attendance of 24,000 in the audience, making this concert the largest ever in Singapore in recent years.
Despite the occasional rain showers and drizzles before and during the concert, the artists performed professionally and kept the audience in awe especially for the heavy rain towards the end of the concert starting from BoA's 'Only One', f(x)'s 'Electric Shock', SHINee's 'Sherlock', Girls' Generation's 'The Boys', Super Junior's 'Sexy, Free & Single' and most especially, TVXQ's 'Catch Me'. The professionalism of the artists performing and dancing powerfully on stage despite the rain received praises and much love from the fans who were also watching faithfully and without falter in the rain, clad mostly in ponchos and raincoats.
In the 4-hour concert extravaganza, members of Girls' Generation performed a total of 11 songs including collaborations with other artists. The songs they performed during the concert were:
1. California Gurls – Jessica & f(x)'s Krystal
2. Devil's Cry – Taeyeon
3. Run Devil Run
4. Genie
5. Twinkle – Girls' Generation TTS
6. DJ got us fallin' in love – Girls' Generation TTS and EXO's D.O, Luhan, Sehun, Chanyeol
7. Dance Battle – Yoona, Hyoyeon and Yuri with Yunho, Eunhyuk, Tao, Kai, Taemin and Victoria
8. Mr. Taxi
9. Gee
10. Kissing You
11. The Boys
Prior to the concert, a press conference for the concert was held at the Ritz Carlton hotel and it was attended by representatives from the SMTown family – BoA, TVXQ, Kangta, Girls' Generation's Seohyun, f(x)'s Victoria, Super Junior's Donghae, SHINee's Onew and EXO's Suho and Kris.
The artists expressed their excitement to be performing in an SMTown concert for the first time in Singapore and they felt that The Float was a really special choice of a venue because of the beautiful view as well as performing on a stage above water.
When asked about the backstage atmosphere, Victoria said that SMTown seniors and juniors mingle and chat in the rare opportunity to hang out together while having fun and they cheer each other on between performances. She also enjoys the last song in the concert, 'Hope' where everyone of the SMTown family goes on stage to sing and greet the fans.
Meanwhile, Seohyun was concerned when asked about her opinions of fans who queued up early for the concert. She was grateful for all the fans who turned up for the concert despite not having performed many times in Singapore. As for those who have been waiting for a week, she was really worried about their health because of the rain. With that, she expressed their determination to perform to their very best to repay their fans.
Meanwhile, the SMTown family are currently in Bangkok, Thailand, having left Singapore a day after the concert to perform for the next SMTOWN concert on November 25th.
More photos from the press conference by Fanwonder.com media will be uploaded soon.

GOP braces for messy showdownBy Peter Hirschfeld
Vermont Press Bureau | November 08,2013MONTPELIER A last-ditch effort to mend fences within the Republican Party has failed in recent days, setting the stage for a very public showdown Saturday between warring factions of the Vermont GOP.
This weekends Republican reorganization the biennial ritual at which the party elects members of its governing board features a contest for GOP chairman between former Rutland Town Rep. David Sunderland and failed U.S. Senate hopeful John MacGovern.
The two men represent competing wings of a party at odds with itself. And the results will define, in the short term at least, the path ahead for an organization at a crossroads.
Certainly it would be difficult to find success in the next election if (MacGovern) were to win, Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Scott said Thursday. I think John, from the comments Ive seen him make, will be a divisive person and alienate more of those who would like to associate themselves with the party again.
Opponents of Sunderland, meanwhile, characterize him as a Phil Scott apparatchik, hand-picked by a lieutenant governor seeking to use the party to polish his own political statue.
Phil Scott has picked the people he wants to run, and he basically wants that group to be his cohort, Snelling said Thursday. This group of people hes worked with, he wants them to be beholden to him.
Since winning reelection last November, Scott has led a charge to unseat Jack Lindley, the incumbent chairman who has drawn fire from party moderates for aligning the Vermont GOP with the Republican National Committee. Perceived connections to Tea Party Republicans, Scott said, have served to repel centrists from associating with their local Republican organizations.
Lindley fell gravely ill last month he would have run for re-election otherwise and has since thrown his support behind MacGovern.
Snelling and Scott both say theyve tried in recent days and weeks to negotiate a power-sharing deal behind the scenes. But talks have failed, and, according to both men, there appears little hope for a resolution before Saturday morning, when town committee members from across the state will convene at 10:15 a.m. at the Montpelier Elks Club for reorg.
The scuffle has seen a rotating cast of characters enter and exit the contest for the chairmanship.
I did not want to see the party continue the fighting that has occurred over last year, instigated by Phil Scott and others, Snelling said. So I tried to find somebody I thought might be acceptable to both camps as chair.
That man was Brady Toensing, a longtime Republican operative who defended former gubernatorial candidate Brian Dubie against alleged campaign violations, and who also represented Jerry Dodge in an infamous land deal with his neighbor, Gov. Peter Shumlin.
Snelling said he negotiated directly with Sunderland to reach a deal that would see Toensing replace Lindley, and guarantee Sunderland the vice-chairmanship. Snelling said Sunderland nixed the proposal. Snelling said the reason Sunderland gave for the rejection was that Phil needs more upside.
Scott said he spoke with Sunderland about those negotiations, but that the decisions about whether to cement a deal on a unity slate were Sunderlands alone to make.
Sunderland didnt return a call seeking comment Thursday. Toensing is running for vice-chairman now, and has the backing of both camps.
The breakdown of talks between Snelling and Sunderland, combined with Lindleys decision not to run for another term, has led to a bizarre partnership between Lindley, Snelling and MacGovern.
Prior to Lindleys illness, MacGovern had announced his own candidacy to the party faithful in an email that included a damning indictment of Lindleys tenure as chairman.
Lindleys team initially sought to destroy MacGovern, and diffuse any threat he might pose to their teams incumbency. But when it became finally apparent this week that Lindley wouldnt be running for reelection, a new alliance was forged, and Lindley urged his supporters to support MacGoverns candidacy.
MacGovern has been especially critical of Scott, accusing the lieutenant governor in a story in VTDigger.org last week of dumping principle overboard.
Both sides say theyre confident they can deliver a win for their candidate Saturday, though they say theyre not looking forward to the public airing of dirty laundry thats likely to occur.

Hello everyone!
Something that really important to me is hygiene. The last few months I am very into things that keep me clean and especially my skin. Since I am still in my puberty I have lots of problem with acne. That is also one of the reasons why I want to keep my body, skin and face clean. So, these are my skincare products. Of course, for someone who loves being clean this is absolutely not enough so I am buying a lot of other stuff soon.
I have a feeling that people thinks that caring your skin is gay. Well, I don't think so and I absolutely disagree with that. Let me keep it simple. "Do you want to have a boy/girlfriend who is clean or someone is really dirty?". I find that the people who keeps their skin, face, body clean is a clean person. Who doesn't do that isn't really clean to me. They might be clean, but we still judge through our first impression.
Nivea cream
I use this cream after when I have scrubbed my face with the Garnier Pure Active face scrub. I do it like this becaue after I have scrubbed the old, dead skincells are already gone. When I put the cream on it shows a healthy and clean skin. On the back of this product it's writte that it is suited for every skintype. And it's useful for everywhere when your skin is in need for a rich and mild nurture. I really love this product, because it's very useful for everywhere and anytime!
Etos handcream
Etos is a drugstore brand here in The Netherlands. It doesn't sell drugs like weed, cocaïne and those stuff. It sells beauty products and nurture products. I don't really use this cream a lot, because it's not very necessary. I only use this when my hands are really dry and sometimes after when I washed my hands a lot. Usually, I don't buy these kind of brands, because I don't really feel that they are very thrust-worthy enough. And I have to say that this product does it very good! I also don't use a lot of this because it will makes my hands more oily and that's not what I want. Next to that, it's actually not a really bad product!
Vaseline lipbalm
This product is very necessary to me! Everywhere I am and go I always have dry lips. So, I also carry this lipbalm a lot with me. I always have a bag with me and I put it in there. I don't know how to fix my dry lips. I also went to the doctor once and asked if there where anything to go against this extremely dry lips. And he just gave me a tube of vaseline, but I didn't use it because I don't liked to use it. Since I am more caring about my skin I thought that it's really important to fix this and since the doctor will give me a tube of this I just went to another drugstore to buy this lipbalm. And I have to say that this works pretty well! I find this better working than what the doctor gave to me.
Garnier Pure Active face scrub
This is my heaven from all the products I have, haha. This one is the most important product I have and I am very happy with it! I use this one when I am showering. In the beginning when I got this product for the first time I put it somewhere else and sometimes I just forget about scrubbing. And since I shower everyday I thought that it would be handier if I put it in the showercabine. I use this product 2 times a week which is better. If I use this once a week I can feel all the dirt on my face and I will also not feel so fine. And after everytime I used this I feel way more better. It shows a healthier and nicer skin. And that's all I want, haha. This product will help you decrease the amount of acne and keeps your skin clean. After this I usually put directly the Nivea cream.
Which kind of products do you use? Let me know in the comment section below!

The search for a missing Franklin County oysterman ended Tuesday afternoon, nearly 30 hours after his boat sank in Apalachicola Bay.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the body of Brandon Wayne "Bruno" Creamer was found about a mile from where he was last seen Monday morning. His companion, Billie Murray of Eastpoint, was rescued by another boater but Creamer had disappeared below the surface before he could be reached.
The agency was assisted in its efforts by the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, Gulf County Sheriff's Office and several private vessels.
Divers using handheld sonar units began the second day of the search with an inspection of Creamer's submerged vessel. The boat sits intact in about 10 feet of water, several hundred yards west of the Bryant Patton Bridge connecting Eastpoint to St. George Island.
Strong currents and low visibility made diving difficult, said Lt. Charlie Wood of the FFWCC's Division of Law Enforcement. "As strong as they were, the divers were having problems staying there and the water visibility is very, very dim," Wood said.
The FFWCC later expanded the search area until forced to call off the dive when the weather took a turn for the worse. Less than an hour later, at about 2 p.m. local time, the pilot of a FFWCC helicopter spotted Creamer's body.
It was the ending no one wanted. "We always hold out hope that someone is alive and that's why we keep looking," Wood said.
Creamer, 21, had been oystering nearly his entire life. His mother, Maggie, told News 13 that Bruno began helping his father and uncle work the oyster beds when he was eight years old but never learned to swim. He was not wearing a life jacket when his boat was swamped.
Lt. Wood said very few people get a second chance on the water. "You need to make sure your safety equipment is up to date and in good working condition," Wood said. "You have to be careful… you have to use good judgment because it can go wrong in a hurry."
When a day on Apalachicola Bay went wrong for Bruno Creamer, it broke a community's heart. "It's like losing one of our own, so it's a personal thing for us," Lt. Wood said.
Maggie Creamer has felt the pain of losing a child before. Several years ago, her 23 month old child drowned, she said.

Oracle's Larry Ellison has been the highest paid tech chief on our list each year since Network World started tracking CEO compensation, but his $77.6 million pay package was bested by another tech CEO's enormous windfall in 2011. Of the 50 compensation packages we examined, just two were worth less than $1 million and 12 topped $20 million.
To calculate the value of each CEO's total pay, we use data from the summary compensation table and supporting details contained in proxy statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The following figures are taken from the summary compensation table: salary, bonus, stock awards, option awards, non-equity incentive place compensation, changes in pension value and non-qualified deferred compensation earnings, and all other compensation. The estimated value of equity awards represents the grant date fair value for stock awards and stock options granted during the fiscal year.
[ Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. | Get sage advice on IT careers and management from Bob Lewis in InfoWorld's Advice Line blog and newsletter. ]
Read on to find out which tech CEOs made the most in 2011.
50. Larry Page, Google CEO
Compensation: $1
Page became CEO in April of last year, and he continued to draw only a $1 salary. In 2010 he received a holiday bonus worth $1,785, but he didn't get one in 2011 -- which is why his pay took a big plunge, percentage wise, when it dropped from $1,786 to $1. Nor did he participate in Google's executive bonus plan or equity programs. (Of course, Page isn't going hungry. Thanks to his stash of Google stock, his net worth is pegged at about $18.7 billion.) As a company, Google grew revenue by 29 percent in 2011 (from $29.3 billion to $37.9 billion) and increased its net income by 14 percent (from $8.5 billion to $9.7 billion).
49. Dominic Orr, Aruba Networks CEO, president and chairman
Compensation: 933,429
Aruba upped its revenue from $267 million in 2010 to $397 million in 2011, and turned a loss of $34 million into a $71 million gain in net income. During the same time period, Orr's compensation more than doubled from $400,000 in fiscal 2010 to $933,429 in fiscal 2011. His pay included a $400,000 salary, equity awards valued at $525,001 and perks worth $8,428.
48. Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO and director
Compensation: $1.4 million
Ballmer received compensation valued at $1.38 million in 2011, prompting the company to say he's underpaid compared to his peers. Ballmer's total package is up 2 percent compared to 2010, when he received $1.35 million. Ballmer's 2011 pay package included a $682,500 salary, $685,500 bonus (half of the $1.37 million bonus he was eligible to receive), and a modest $11,915 in perks. At his own request, Ballmer didn't receive any stock awards or option awards. The company, meanwhile, grew revenue and income by 12 percent and 23 percent, respectively, in its 2011 fiscal year. Revenue came in at $69.9 billion, up from $62.5 billion in 2010. Net income hit $23.2 billion, up from $18.8 billion in the prior year.

The bodies of a man and a woman whose heads, hands and legs were cut off have been found floating in the Detroit River and a nearby tributary.A group of men fishing along the banks of the river, just east of Belle Isle, made the gruesome discovery Tuesday morning around 6:30 a.m. They tell FOX 2's Al Allen they found the human torso floating in the water and notified the U.S. Coast Guard.

The identities of the victims have not been determined.

County Antrim, Northern Ireland (Sports Network) - Daan Huizing birdied the first playoff hole on Sunday to top Oliver Wilson and win the Northern Ireland Open Challenge.
Huizing entered the final round with a 6-shot lead, but tripped to a 3-over 74 in the windy conditions at Galgorm Castle Golf Club to finish at 13-under-par 271.
Wilson shot a 4-under 67 to meet him there.
Huizing gave his early advantage away with an outward 39 that included bogeys at the third, fourth, sixth and ninth.
He regained some cushion with birdies at the 12th and 14th, but tripped to a bogey at the last after being forced to take a provisional following an errant drive to necessitate the playoff.
Wilson, meanwhile, countered his lone bogey of the day with five birdies to join Huizing at 13-under.
On the playoff hole, Wilson hit his drive into a bunker, while Huizing split the fairway and found the green with his second.
After Wilson failed to convert his birdie effort, Huizing was able to calmly 2-putt for the win, earning the Dutchman his first career win on the European Challenge Tour.

SAP shares dive on warning
SAP saw its shares take a dive today, when it warned that poor sales in Japan meant that it was likely to miss targets for the year. Shares were down over seven per cent in early trading. The company said revenues for the third quarter ended 30 September 2009 were €2.51bn, down nine per cent on the same three months of last …

Larry Ellisons have apparently said for a long time that he cant wait for the day that he can buy SAP.
With SAP's share price dropping perhaps that day is sooner than we think

In the semifinals of the brown belt Absolutes two super prospects clashed in Keenan Cornelius of Atos and Jackson Souza Dos Santos of Checkmat. Both won their weightclasses, Keenan the Medium-Heavyweight division and Jackson the Heavyweight division, and both where on a tear through the Absolute bracket and they collided in a very exciting match.
Here is Ben Thapa's play-by-play from his full coverage of the first day of black belt action:
Keenan tries a berimbolo and Jackson is on his butt, trying to hop up over, but it's not working. Keenan comes up top and should get an advantage as Souza stands up. Souza is working within Keenan's spider guard. Jackson tries a toe hold, but it fails and Keen pulls back out. They restart on the feet and Jackson gets an advantage. Tie game. Jackson gets a stalling penalty and that could be decisive. Jackson trying to get past and Keenan works a sweep. Jackson back to open guard, pushing ankles down.
Keenan goes berimbolo and Jackson has his leg full down. I don't think the berimbolo will work here. Keenan somehow turns it into a near back take and Jackson stands up, tosses Keenan back down. Advantage to Keenan for the back take.
Keenan upside down, trying to get something on Jackson, who is very cautious all of a sudden. Jackson pushing for a knee slide, but Keenan is going inverted and sliding his legs across for guard retention. Jackson stands again.
Jackson tries to toss Keenan around, but it's not working. Time elapses and it looks like Keenan gets the point victory. That might have been the most anticipated brown belt match at this tourney and it turned out pretty good. Both acquitted themselves very well and Keenan's technicality wins the day.

By JEFF MEYERS
---- — NORTH HERO, Vt. — The decision on what should be done to reduce or prevent the impact of Lake Champlain flooding began in earnest with a pair of public meetings.
More than 50 people gathered at the first session, held recently in Quebec and hosted by a task force studying the impact of the spring 2011 floods on Lake Champlain and the Richelieu River.
Then, a second public session was held the next evening at the North Hero, Vt. Community Hall with about 20 in attendance.
"Our charge is to develop a plan of study to address specific issues (related to Lake Champlain flooding) and to identify what kinds of studies are necessary to eradicate the cause of spring floods," said Jennifer Thalhauser, a New York representative for the work group and project manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The work group, created by the International Joint Commission that oversees water-related issues between the United States and Canada, includes regional representatives from agencies
in New York, Vermont and Quebec. It will not make recommendations for alleviating flood-related problems in the basin nor will it carry out any actions to offset the causes of flooding, Thalhauser noted.
She said the most consistent question at the Quebec session was: "Why is there a need for a plan of study?"
"We feel that it is essential in taking a more holistic approach to what happened in 2011."
The spring floods of 2011 broke all-time lake levels as Lake Champlain topped 103 feet. The extent of the flooding along its shores and along the Richelieu was compounded by the its duration, as high water levels remained for six weeks or more.
The combination of a large snow pack in the Adirondack and Green mountains, extensive rain during and following the snowmelt and human-made changes to the flow of the Richelieu River were all pegged as contributing factors.
"We want to address what gaps in data there are, what data we need and what data we have," said Thalhauser, one of seven work-group representatives at the session last Wednesday.
"We want to develop a document that gives a framework on how to move forward."
The report generated by the work group's study will also review a cost-benefit analysis for moving forward with any kind of flood-mitigation plan, she added.
"We are at the very beginning of this written report," she said. "We felt it was important to collect information from the public and then meet with experts (from across the region)."
The group will develop a draft report by October, at which time it will hold a second series of public meetings before revising and submitting a final document to the International Joint Commission in December.
At that point, the commission will forward the report to federal, state and provincial authorities, outline what steps might next be taken to address future flooding concerns in the Lake Champlain Basin.
"We can influence policy, but we can't make governments do things," said Ann Chick, who represents the International Joint Commission and has moderated similar activities across the U.S.-Canada border. "Generally, our recommendations are followed, but it is done on a convenience basis."
One Vermont resident who began the public-comment period asked the group why it had taken more than a year to start looking at the 2011 flood.
The group began preparing strategies in May, Thalhauser noted, and the International Joint Commission took some time before that to organize the best way to move forward with a preliminary study. Last week's meetings was the first step in collecting information from the public, she added.
Mike Winslow, staff scientist for the Lake Champlain Committtee, advised the group that any future mitigation plans should not include any kind of human control of the lake level through the manipulation of locks on the Richelieu River or the construction of dams on the river or lake.
Those options were discussed during a similar study following flooding in the 1970s and do not need to be rehashed now, he said. Non-structural solutions should be the focus of this report.
Michelle Brown, from the Nature Conservancy of the Adirondacks, emphasized the need to study the basin's hydrology as a whole, including the streams and rivers that flow into the lake. She also stressed the need to plan for future precipitation patterns caused by global climate change.
Steve Wright, who actually lives in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, dozens of miles from Lake Champlain, advised that the simplest of measures should be taken: to protect the vegetation and soils along the waterways of the basin.
"What actions come out of this report, we do not know," said Jean-Francois Cantin of the Meteorological Service of Canada. "It is our job to prepare a way to look at the ecosystem from a scientific perspective, to reach a common understanding of what happens (during flood events).
"If we don't have that understanding, it is difficult to reach an agreement on actions (to be taken based on the report's findings)."
One Champlain Islands resident asked the workgroup if there was anything that could be done right now to prevent the severe flooding of 2011. His home had been cut off by floodwater, and he was told then that there were no easy solutions to the flooding problem.
"No," Cantin said of current options to control flooding. "It all depends on how much (water) is coming into the lake and how much is going out."

An Office Twist
Editor's note: This is Sadie's last Core Values blog posting. We wish you luck in all your endeavors, Sadie!
Even though my cubicle-tethered friends are jealous that I don't have a mainstream day job, what they might not know is that as a touring yoga teacher whose business entity starts with her own name and ends in "LLC," I still log about eight hours a day on average doing office work.
It's true: Being my own boss has its upsides (some days the 5 o'clock whistle blows at 3:30!), but the knowledge that you're the one who makes or breaks the success of your own enterprise is a heck of a taskmaster. Today when I sat down on the same hard cafe seat, I noticed my sitting bones were sore from the four hours I spent here last night. Even though my work is yoga, I still get the body blues if I go too long at the computer without a break.
I offer a lot of philosophy in this column. Yet, sometimes, an important benefit of yoga is that it's absolutely practical when it comes to keeping our bodies fit and healthy. We can apply our tension and stress-relieving tools all the time, whether we're on a rectangle of rubber or need a quick and effective refresher anytime during the day.
To remedy the stiffness and lethargy that can set in from remaining in one position, and if I can't leave the room to hit a yoga class or take a brisk walk, the following asana is the next best thing. Because of the twisting motion, it helps to detoxify and energize you, and the action of sitting in the air--without sitting on a chair--brings precious circulation back into the legs. Plus, it tones your waist, abdominal muscles, and lower body, and even burns calories, since more lean muscle means a higher metabolism all day long. Now, those are office benefits I can get behind!
Core Pose: Revolved Chair Pose (Parivrtta Utkatasana)
Still sitting in your chair, scoot away from your desk and bring your feet together flat on the floor. Lift your low belly in and up toward your chest to support your spine as you lift your butt off the chair. Inhale and reach your arms overhead. Exhale, bring your palms together at your chest and twist your upper body, bringing your right elbow onto the left knee.
Keep your tailbone long and your belly engaged as you take 5 inhales and exhales in this position. Then inhale your arms to center, and switch sides.
Between sides, or after both sides, you can bring your fists into the opposite elbow creases, and fold forward over your legs. Straighten them as much as is comfortable to release tension from your lower back and improve focus.

BOSTON (AP) - Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick is hitting the road again in support of President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
Patrick plans appearances in two key southern states, North Carolina and Virginia, over the next two days.
Patrick has appearances scheduled in Charlotte, and Raleigh, N.C. on Friday.
A spokesman for the governor's political committee says he will be visiting the Virginia campuses of Old Domininion University, Hampton University and the College of William & Mary on Saturday in support of get-out-the-vote efforts.
Patrick last year formed a political action committee, called Together PAC, to finance his travels and activities on behalf of Obama's re-election effort. The PAC had raised nearly $1.3 million through June 30, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.

BK PR - Africa Forum - October 26, 2012
Brooklyn, N.Y. – "Africans and Supernatural Powers," an all-day event at LIU Brooklyn on Nov. 9, will feature a panel discussion led by African students who say they have experienced events beyond normal explanation.
Part of the annual Africa Forum organized by Yusuf Juwayeyi, associate professor of anthropology at LIU Brooklyn, "Africans and Supernatural Powers" is free and open to the public, unless it is being taken for one course credit in sociology/anthropology. It will be held in the Library Learning Center, Room 122, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Africa Forum — organized by Yusuf Juwayeyi, associate professor of anthropology at LIU Brooklyn — is designed to sensitize students, faculty and community members about various issues that affect Africa.
"This year's topic was chosen, in order to enable our students to compare African supernatural beliefs and those of other cultures world-wide," Juwayeyi said.
In the morning session, there will be a presentation, "Africans and Supernatural Powers," given by Michael Bokor, assistant professor of English at LIU Brooklyn. Bokor's presentation will be followed by the panel discussion with African students who say they have experienced supernatural events.
The afternoon session will include a screening of the film, "The Hour of Grace," parts 1 and 2, after which Bokor will lead a general discussion moderated by Juwayeyi.
Previous Africa Forum topics have included: "The Problem of HIV/AIDS in Africa and New York City," "Africa and America: Trans-Atlantic Music Crossing," "Women and Political Power in Africa," and "Nollywood: The Nigerian Movie Industry."
For more information, contact professor Yusuf Juwayeyi, department of sociology/anthropology by phone at 718-488-1168 or email email@example.com.

The In Living Color GuideEdit
This is the In living Color Guide. This guide will help fans of the show find what they like and navigate my info. I Know alot about the show it was a very funny show with all the Wayans Family Participating in it. So now Enjoy. If You like to Edit a page go to the community portal.
Show SynopsisEdit
In Living Color was an American sketch comedy television series which ran on the Fox Television Network from 1990 to 1994. Executive producer Keenen Ivory Wayans created, wrote, and starred in the program.
Other members of the Wayans family — Damon, Kim, Shawn and Marlon — had regular roles (oldest brother Dwayne frequently appeared as an extra), in addition to David Alan Grier, an established character actor who had worked in Keenen Ivory Wayans' motion picture I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988).
The series strove to produce comedy with a strong emphasis on African American subject matter. However, In Living Color may be best-known as the launching pad for Jim Carrey (the one male Caucasian member of the original cast, edging Thomas Haden Church in the audition process), future Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx (who joined the cast in the third season), and future actress/singer Jennifer Lopez (who became a "Fly Girl" in the third season).
For the first episode, an exotic-looking black-and-white logo was used for the opening credits. After the band Living Colour claimed the show stole the logo from them and threatened to sue, the logo was changed to one with rather plain-type letters of three colors. Both versions of the theme song were performed by the hip-hop group Heavy D & the Boyz.
Keenen Ivory Wayans left the show in the middle of the fourth season over disputes with Fox about the network's censoring the show's content and rerunning early episodes without his consultation. Keenen feared that Fox would ultimately decrease the syndication value of In Living Color.
On the censorship issue, Fox became more intrusive of the scripts after In Living Color produced a live Super Bowl halftime special (branded by the network as The Doritos Zaptime/'In Living Color' Super Halftime Party). During the "Men on Football" sketch, it was suggested by Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier through adlibs that actor Richard Gere and track and field star Carl Lewis were gay, much to Lewis' open chagrin. The programming stunt lured a hefty 20 million to 25 million viewers from CBS' telecast of the halftime festivities during Super Bowl XXVI.
Many viewers believe that the quality of In Living Color suffered drastically from Keenen's (who was considered the heart and soul of the show) absence. By the fifth and final season, none of the Wayans family had any involvement whatsoever with the show. Damon Wayans had already left the show after the third season to pursue a movie career even though he still made "special guest appearances" in the fourth season. Keenan Ivory Wayans had virtually disappeared from the series well before he officially left it. The show's traditional reliance on the character-driven sketches featuring Damon and Keenan gave way to an increasing reliance upon walk-on cameos by "special guests" like James Brown, Rodney Dangerfield, Ed O'Neill, Sherman Hemsley, Sam Kinison, Chris Rock, Tupac Shakur, and En Vogue. Even Kelly Coffield, who, prior to Alexandra Wentworth's arrival in the fourth season, was the lone female Caucasian cast member, left prior to the final season.
Some believed that the once fresh, cutting-edge, and often "organic" politically incorrect humor (which some credit in part to writer Paul Mooney, who helped create the Homey The Clown character) from the first three seasons was lost by the time the show was cancelled after the 1993-1994 season. Critics contend that in its place came arguably more generic, redundant, and unforgivably tasteless sketches (a sketch centered on Carol Rosenthal portraying deaf actress Marlee Matlin for example). Also in the final season, the ratings suffered after Fox moved it from Sunday to Thursday and reduced its promotion.
In Living Color was an Ivory Way Production (until Keenen Ivory Wayans left) in association with Twentieth Century Fox Television. It was in reruns on local affiliates and on the News Corporation owned FX Network, where it was distributed by Twentieth Television.
As of October 2005, all five seasons are available on DVD (albeit in edited form),Reruns of the show air on the BET Network at 12:00 & 12:30 EST Time

- B.S. Brothers (Black-Strong or also called "Funky Finger Productions") - two men (David Alan Grier and Tommy Davidson) with a knack of being at the right place for promotion, but with little promotional experience.

Along with his full-bodied partner (played by Keenen Ivory or Marlon Wayans), he solves crimes and foils villains.
- Homeboy Shopping Network - two streetwise pitchmen (Damon and Keenen Ivory Wayans) use a QVC-style approach to sell stolen goods. The phrase "Mo' Money, Mo' Money!" was coined in this sketch.
- Homey D. Clown (Damon Wayans) - A convict who works as a clown (real name Herman Simpson) for his parole agreement, but violently lashes out at any attempt to make him perform the standard antics of the role - "I don't think so...Homey don't play that!"

- Oswald Bates - Damon Wayans plays an eloquent prison inmate whose vocabulary is full of incorrectly used clinical (usually sexual) terms. "Unfortunately, we could not impregnate everyone. It is simply beyond our colonic threshold."

- Hey Mon - Damon Wayans heads a family of hard-working West Indians, each with many careers. With the "lazy" son working eight different jobs, they find nothing more appalling than meeting people with two or fewer jobs, including babies.
- Les and Wes - A pair of conjoined twins attached at the side, of whom one (Wes, played by Keenen Ivory Wayans) is a celebrity, while the other (Les,played by Damon Wayans) is not
Memorable One Time Sketches or Infrequent Sketches Edit
- White, White Baby -Features Jim Carrey impersonating Vanilla Ice singing his hit song Ice, Ice Baby with changed words, while wearing a jacket on his back that read, "My Grandma Gave Me This Dumb Jacket" which he showed off to the audience at the end of his performence (after all backup dancers leave when he does stupid dance moves), and a pompadour wig. Parody of song, Ice, Ice Baby.
- Great Moments in Black History: Self-Service Gas Station - As part of Black History Month, a dignified presenter claims that African Americans invented self-service gas stations. As proof, he introduces a video clip where an elderly, helpless Caucasian American meekly asks for help pumping his gas, but the lazy African American attendant rudely tells him to "get it yo damned self". Thus self-serve gas stations were born.
- I Love LaQuita - a parody of "I Love Lucy", from the perspective of a Black housewife who aspires to be a rap star.
- The Buttmans - A family modeled after The Cosby Show characters, only they have buttocks on their foreheads
- Grace Jones - Kim Wayans parodies the actress as an extremely physical enthusiast of any activity whether it be fighting an alligator for her dinner or pro wrestling while regularly asking "Do you think I'm sexy?"
- Hawaii Five-O - A Sketch where Jim Carrey plays McGarret, Very Funny
- Love Connection - The First Ever In Living Color skit in which Carrey portrays host Chuck Woolery and Keenen Ivory Wayans portrays Mike Tyson and Kim Coles as Robin Givens.

- Go On Girl - A "I am woman here me roar" type of show hosted by Shawanda Harvey

- Candy Cane's Show - About a very desperate, lonely, sad psychotic woman(played by Alexandra Wentworth), who always looking for a man, by freaking out on the show
- Volt 45-On the May 5, 1990 broadcast, Keenen Ivory Wayans did a take-off on a Billy Dee Williams "Colt 45" commercial (in which the purpose of the beverage is to get your lady friend wasted) that ended with a woman (played by Kim Coles) passed out on her back on a dining table, and "Billy Dee" lifts her leg up and over his head to get into position between her legs.
Note: The "Volt 45" sketch was seen only once during the original broadcast. The sketch was omitted from repeats because some felt it was making light of date rape. The Season One DVD set of ILC didn't include the "cut" sketch from the pilot. This skit was cut by Fox censors, and the necessary modifications were made to the master tape. But Keenen "accidentally" mixed up the masters, and the original master was broadcast. That segment has never been broadcast since, not even in syndication or on FX or BET. It has been replaced by The Exxxon Family in syndication and DVD Box Sets.
