In a recent New York Times editorial, columnist Frank Bruni has an interesting take on what has become the arduous college application process. Instead of focusing on what most students do—which includes the name-brand recognition or the safety of a certain college well known to students because it's their parents' alma mater—Bruni advises students to instead seek out the kinds of experiences that will help mold them into successful and courageous adults able to thrive in a global marketplace.
Bruni advises students to look for a college that has a large number of international students. A recent U.S. News ranking reveals that the New School in New York City and Lynn University in Florida are well ahead of schools such as Harvard and Brown in the percentage of foreign students they educate. Bruni suggests that attending a college with foreign students can help American students become more familiar with foreign cultures and will help them to navigate an increasingly global marketplace.
Bruni also advises students to check out the U.S. News and World Report ranking of universities that send a large percentage of their students abroad. Again, this list may surprise college applicants—for example, Goucher College in Maryland tops the list with 100% of its students going abroad. And Bruni also suggests digging deeper into the rankings to figure out whether the travel abroad programs involve a true immersion into foreign cultures and languages or whether the majority of the students are going to places such as the United Kingdom (which is still the top destination for American students, Bruni reports), which, while interesting, does not expose students to another culture.
Bruni urges students to stretch themselves into other ways, too—for example, by attending schools that offer a true sense of diversity, not only racial or cultural, but also geographic and financial. He suggests students from rural areas expose themselves to life in the city and that students who are from the North attend school in the South, if they are able to. Bruni's suggestions are wise and in keeping with the need for a future workforce that appreciates and cultivates diversity and that can work with people from other cultures.
How to Choose the Right College
As Bruni suggests, choosing a college that is a good match for a student and that will really stretch him or her requires college applicants and their families to dig beneath the surface and the simple statistics. Like choosing the right private school, choosing the right college involves visiting the college, if possible (or taking a virtual tour), and asking questions about what life in the school is really like, beyond the fancy gym facilities and the ice cream bar in the dining room. For example, applicants should, if they can, speak to current students, visit classes, and stay overnight in the dorms to assess the temperature and mood of the campus. Applicants can also use social media sites to find out what schools are really like—including the negative aspects of that school. They should also ask students if the professors are available for help, if students really take advantage of study abroad and other activities, and if their area of intended study is strong and open to students. Countless students, for example, attend a certain college with the hope of majoring in business, only to find that the major is only open to a certain number of students who achieve a certain grade point average. It's important to do some thorough research before choosing a college--rather than relying on a seemingly safe choice that may or may not be right for you.

Wine in reusable growlers? Oregon Senate says cheers
Mar 29, 2013
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Fans of Oregon craft beer can bring a reusable container known as a "growler" to their local brewery and fill up, and the Oregon wine industry wants in on that kind of trade.
The state Senate raised a glass to the idea Thursday, voting unanimously to let wineries, restaurants, grocery stores and wine shops dispense wine in consumer-supplied growlers of up to two gallons. The measure now goes to Gov. John Kitzhaber.
Winemakers say they're always looking for new ways to market the products of a growing Oregon business, adding that growlers save a lot of glass and cork.
"It is really environmentally friendly, and it's also promoting wine as a daily commodity that can be enjoyed with meals and shouldn't be thought of as something extraordinarily special every time," said Wynne Peterson-Nedry, the second-generation winemaker at Chehalem Winery in Newberg.
Chehalem already offers growler fills at its tasting room. The legislation will allow its customers to fill their growlers at restaurants and grocery stores, Peterson-Nedry said.
Oregon has about 900 vineyards, according to the Oregon Winegrowers Association. Many are small operations that have trouble competing for limited space on store shelves, said Sen. Lee Beyer, D-Springfield. The measure would give the small local businesses another way to get their wine in front of consumers.
"It allows the small wineries to get equal standing with some of their larger brethren from outside the state," Beyer said.
Some wineries already distribute wine in kegs, which restaurants use to sell by the glass.
The legislation would require the wine to be dispensed by someone with a valid service license from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. As with beer growlers, the wine container will have to be securely covered before it's returned to the customer.
A spokeswoman for Kitzhaber, Amy Wojcicki, said the governor will sign the bill, and it will take effect immediately. That will happen in time for winemakers to promote growlers during Oregon Wine Month in May, said Dan Jarman, a lobbyist for the Oregon Winegrowers Association, in testimony submitted to legislative committees.
The bill is HB 2443. Contact or follow AP writer Jonathan J. Cooper at http://twitter.com/jjcooper .

Ford recalls 111,000 vehicles
NEW DELHI, India (AFP) — US auto giant Ford's India unit said today it was recalling at least 111,000 vehicles to check for potentially faulty parts that could cause breakdowns or fires.
Ford India said it wanted to inspect certain batches of its top-selling Figo hatchback and Classic sedan models that rolled off assembly lines between January 2008 and February 2011 for possible problems.
Ford in a statement called the recall "a voluntary and pre-emptive" action and said no injuries relating to the possible problems had been reported.
The company said it would replace the power steering hose on some cars because of fears a possible oil leak could cause fire "in extreme cases".
The firm also said it wanted to check other vehicles for a potential suspension problem that could render the cars "inoperable" and promised to replace any defective parts.
A Ford spokesman said 17,655 units of Ford Figo and Ford Classic would have their power steering hoses replaced and around 111,000 vehicles would be inspected for potential cracks in the suspension.
A number of the cars will be checked for both problems.
Ford India said it had begun contacting owners through letters and its dealerships in late July.
The announcement came after India's automobile manufacturers last month announced they were voluntarily setting up a "recall code" and would declare any defect or engineering flaw in vehicles.
India, unlike the US and European nations, has no mandatory recall legislation to force manufacturers to fix vehicle manufacturing flaws.
The Ford India spokesman could not immediately say how much the recall would cost the company.

Roger & Hammerstein's Carousel - Boys Cast by Carousel Boys - over 1 year ago
"The rest of the boys and I in my high school's production of Roger and Hammerstein's Carousel wanted to make T-Shirts this year. At first one of us threw something together on CustomInk and we really liked it. Then we just built more and more on top of it until we had a design we all agreed upon and liked. The photo was taken the day the shirts were delivered at one of the rehearsals, and all the guys loved them. Our experience with CustomInk was Wonderful. They got the design exactly as we wanted and for an affordable price. It was even delivered for free, and a week before they said it would be In! "

You can expect to see more law enforcement in our area roads this Halloween looking for impaired drivers.
Nevada Highway Patrol, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office and Reno and Sparks Police Department will be out in full force across the area.
Officers suggest designating a sober driver for Halloween parties.
Police also stress that drivers be extra careful in neighborhoods this evening since there will be many little ghosts and goblins walking around.
Sparks Police say the extra patrols are possible due to the Joining Forces grant.
AAA says it is offering free towing service on Halloween to prevent people from driving while drunk in Nevada.
The automobile club says its "Tipsy Tow" program will give free rides to anyone whether they are a member of AAA or not, as long as they are within five miles of home.
The free rides will run from 6 p.m. Thursday through 6 a.m. Friday. Members and non-members alike can call (800) 222-4357 (AAA-HELP) for a free tow of up to ten miles.
"Just tell the AAA operator, 'I need a Tipsy Tow,' and a truck will be on its way," said AAA spokesperson Cynthia Harris. "Service is restricted to a one-way ride for the driver and his or her vehicle to the driver's home."

As I begin pondering (no pun intended) the Packers' Week Seven game this Sunday at the Metrodome against the division-rival Vikings, I am struck at how dramatically different the pregame vibe seems than the one I so vividly remember before the first Packers-Vikings skirmish last season, which coincidentally also took place in Week Seven.
Not surprisingly, the major focus a year ago at this time was directed toward Brett Favre, who was expected by most observers to invade Lambeau Field with a big-time fire burning in his belly in advance of the showdown against his old team. As I'm sure you all remember, Favre definitely came to play in that game, making the Packers sweat profusely right up to the last play in a way-too-close-for-comfort 28-24 victory by Green Bay.
This season, the prospect for a similar barn-burner seems very unlikely, with Vikings first-round rookie Christian Ponder reportedly supplanting Donovan McNabb under center following the 39-10 prime-time thumping Minnesota received from a Bears team that has been very ordinary for the most part so far this season. Ponder actually looked pretty decent in garbage time in place of McNabb in that game, but does anybody really think the Vikes have a legitimate shot at ending the Packers' quest for a perfect record?
It's too early in the week to predict a final score for this game (tune in bright and early Sunday morning on your PFW Packers app for my final prediction), but my gut tells me the Packers will win handily like they did last Sunday, despite the fact their offense sleepwalked through the second half of their 24-3 victory over a severely challenged Rams team.
Which brings me to the main premise in this week's rant: a cry out for more of an impact from the Packers' rookie class this Sunday. While cranking out my weekly Packers rookie report just before turning my attention to this rant, I was quite surprised in retrospect by the minimal spark collectively provided by the Green Bay rookies. After pulling away with a 24-3 first-half lead, you'd think there might have been some real opportunities for the likes of Randall Cobb, Alex Green and Derek Sherrod, among others.
Think again.
There was strong reason to believe Green might become a secret weapon worth noting based on how good he looked in limited action in the Week Five game against Atlanta. For whatever reason, though, he was inactive last Sunday.
Here's hoping for a different story this Sunday in Minnesota, where you'd think the Packers' youth could be served a lot more should the team choose to increase its rookies' playing time.

Crushworthy tech, science, and culture
Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
With its powerful processor, great camera, decent screen and gorgeous, waterproof design, the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is the best small Android phone around.
The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
While it doesn't play as loud when it's on battery power, the Sony SRS-X5 holds its own against the top Bluetooth speakers in its size and price class.
If you're looking for a compact rugged, water-resistant Bluetooth speaker, the Braven BRV-1 is worth considering now that its street price has dropped to closer to $100.
The AmazonBasics Portable Bluetooth Speaker BTV1 is one of the better "generic" mini wireless Bluetooth speakers and a good value at $60.
Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body. If you're looking for both style and substance from a phone, you've come to the right place.
While the battery is a concern, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is still a good-looking slate that's loaded with more than enough power for anything you're likely to throw at it. It's a good choice if you're looking for a more affordable iPad alternative with 4G LTE -- particularly if you've ever lost a gadget through water damage.
With its swiveling camera mount and high tech specs, the Oppo N1 is easily today's most innovative smartphone that most people haven't heard of.
A limited-time promotion sees Sony giving away hundreds of dollars worth of movies, music, and apps for the Xperia Z1, Z1S, and Z2.

Track & Field goes for seventh straight A-Sun Outdoor title Friday
Related Links
Another title defense begins Friday for the JU track & field team as it competes in the Atlantic Sun Outdoor Championships at North Florida's Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville.
The Dolphins have won the last six outdoor championships, tying UCF (2000-05) for the most consecutive conference titles. Another title would put the Dolphins one shy of UCF's record eight overall A-Sun championships.
"It is readily apparent that the A-Sun conference has gotten significantly stronger and deeper in recent years," JU head coach Ron Grigg said. "There is a lot of parity amongst the top individuals and top teams. This championship will be the most competitive ever. It will require a full team effort of excellent performances to earn this championship. Whichever program can produce that effort will leave with the team trophy."
Senior Alana Walker kicks off the meet Friday with the heptathlon at 9:30 a.m. She will compete in the long jump, high jump, shot put and 200 meter portions before finishing Saturday at 10 a.m. with the long jump, javelin and 800-meter. Last season, Walker placed with 4,195 points in the event.
Friday's afternoon session starts with senior Laura Phillips and juniors Akeela Bravo and Sara Schunter and freshman Sally Marie Futch in the hammer throw at 3:30 p.m. Bravo, Phillips and Schunter will close the day in the shot put at 6:30 p.m.
Phillips redshirted during the 2011 outdoor season, but finished second in the hammer (158'5") during his last championship appearance in 2010. Bravo has the program's best mark this season in the hammer (173'3") and the shot put (44'0.5").
The long jump starts at 6:30 p.m. with senior Stacey Young, junior Charlene Charles and freshmen Courtney Walker and Shanique Walker.
Young led the Dolphins in the long jump last year with a leap of 18'5.75" for second place. It was the first time a Dolphin had not won the long jump since the 2005 championship. Charles was JU's last winner in 2010 with a leap of 18'11.25".
Young, Charles and Shanique Walker along with freshman Petra Munkacsy will run in the 100-meter hurdles preliminaries at 7 p.m. The finals are scheduled for Saturday at 5:50 p.m. Young (13.53, 2011) and Charles (13.91, 2010) are the last two A-Sun champions for this event.
Courtney Walker runs in the 100-meter preliminaries at 7:50 p.m. looking to earn a spot into Saturday's final at 6:35 p.m.
Sprinkled inside of the time trails will be sophomore Svenja Meyer running in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at 7 p.m. She ran a time of 10:51.64 in this event earlier this season at the Pepsi Florida Relays on April 6.
Following the heptathlon on Saturday, the Dolphins will start the final session with the triple jump and discus at 3 p.m.
Young and Shanique Walker will go for the Dolphins in the triple jump, while Bravo, Schunter and Phillips are scheduled discus throw.
Young is the returning champion for the triple jump with a leap of 40 feet in 2011. Bravo won the discus (141' 11") in 2011, while Schunter earned points by finishing fourth.
The Dolphins will compete in the first of two relays at 5:05 p.m. with the 4x100-meter. JU has won the last three 4x100-meter relay, including posting a meet record 44.82 in 2009. They will look for their third straight 4x400-meter relay title later in the day at 8:45 p.m. The Dolphins posted a championship record time of 45.60 last season.

Chris Vande Velde is the type of player the Oilers desperately need.
North Dakota center Chris VandeVelde has 5 goals and 6 assists in his last 5 games. He's now accounted for 12 goals and 18 assists in 31 games on the season.

Fighting Sioux senior and assistant captain Chris VandeVelde interviews with the Copper & Blue
Senior Chris VandeVelde walked into Lynah Rink [last] Saturday night in the midst of the longest point drought since his freshman season... In a battle of defensive centers in the Oilers organization, Riley Nash and Chris VandeVelde split a weekend series in Ithaca.
The Copper & Blue continue to build the Oilers top prospect list.
On his style of play: "My style of play is probably power forward – scoring goals, playmaking, taking the puck to the net and protecting the puck – just trying to make things happen. Hopefully some day they'll want me to come up and I can play on the big club and stay there for a while. I'll just keep playing hard and we'll see what happens." On turning pro after next season: "That's kind of what I wanted to do, but we'll just have to wait and see how it goes and what Edmonton wants."Chris Vande Velde, Oilers' official site
The most likely candidate to leave [the University of North Dakota] was VandeVelde – a 6-foot-2, 205-pound power forward. But today, VandeVelde announced he's returning to UND for his senior year.... VandeVelde is coming off of a strong season in which he had 18 goals and 35 points – both figures ranked second on the team. He was UND's best face-off guy and will be penciled in as the top-line center. Despite playing with a separated shoulder at the end of the season, VandeVelde was still dominant. He scored two goals in the NCAA regional loss to New Hampshire on highly skilled plays.Brad Schlossman, Grand Forks Herald (bolding mine)

Months after the façade of CVS collapsed, crews
are back at the Medical Arts Shopping Center.
The center's owner says engineers recommended
replacing the ceiling of the shopping center. Those repairs are underway.
CVS added the façade five years ago, but it
collapsed in June when two nails withdrew from a 2-by-4 board, leaving the
front exposed. The collapse damaged several cars and injured a woman.
The owner said replacing the ceiling of the
shopping center is only a precaution. Engineers never found anything wrong with
it, but he isn't taking any chances.
"Since the collapse, they have done their
best to try to help with the rest of the building stabilization," said
Darrien Duncan, an employee at Southeastern Medical Equipment Co.
Crews said they are only replacing the ceiling
that leads up the CVS. The shopping center owner is still waiting to hear back
from CVS whose insurance is supposed to be covering those repairs.
A representative for CVS released a statement:
"We are discussing liability issues with the property's landlord and the
Some folks had to pay out-of-pocket to repair
their cars when it collapsed and CVS said they intend reimburse them for those
Crews will be repairing the ceiling for next
eight weeks and businesses say they are anxious for things to be back to
"You look over here and you have tractors
and you don't know if the store is open because we have it shut in so debris
won't fall on anybody's head," Duncan said.
Businesses at Medical Arts want people to know
they are open despite all the construction.

Dow challenges packaging industry to work together toward 100-percent recycle-ability
March 9, 2009
Plastic packaging is an important part of the solution in the big picture of sustainability, waste and the environment, according to The Dow Chemical Company. In a strong message first delivered to a recent gathering of packaging industry leaders, Dow is challenging packaging value chain members to work together toward 100-percent recyclable packaging solutions - and asking consumers to challenge their misconceived view of plastic packaging as waste. "Plastic packaging is viewed by many consumers as waste, or a problem, or in some cases as unnecessary," said Glenn Wright, commercial vice president for Dow''s North American Basic Plastics business. Raising the ante for the packaging industry as a whole, Wright added: "All the players in this industry need to work together to demonstrate the concept of life-cycle thinking when it comes to plastic packaging - from first uses to multiple re-use or traditional recycling, and eventually to the concept of recycle-to-energy - sometimes known as energy-from-waste. This last idea is exciting because it could potentially allow us to make two good uses of plastic packaging, first to save resources when used in a package and second as a source of energy that we could harness. "As I think about these energy-producing possibilities, I ask myself, why do we mine coal for energy, yet bury plastic, even though plastic has nearly twice the energy value, according to the American Chemistry Council?" Wright observed. "Wouldn''t it be great if we could help society view used packaging in its true light - a renewable energy resource, not waste?" While the goal of 100-percent recycling, all the way to recycle-to-energy, is a bold consideration, Dow is calling on industry leaders to join it in challenging the status quo and find ways to initiate this industry-changing concept. "The energy content of plastic packaging is significant," Wright said. "If we recycle the petroleum resources we''ve used back into energy, then we could actually get two uses out of the packaging in the end. Retailers and consumers could then experience these changes most noticeably in terms of energy- and purchase-related cost savings."

Temporary chief constable gets top Devon and Cornwall police job
2:13pm Wednesday 16th January 2013 in Truro
The current temporary chief constable for Devon and Cornwall will take the top spot permanently.
Shaun Sawyer has filled the role on a temporary basis since the departure of Stephen Otter in March 2012, he has also served as the served as the force's deputy chief constable
The decision is subject to a confirmation hearing by a police and crime panel in early February.
There were five applicants who went forward to a selection and interview panel led by the new Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Hogg.
Mr Hogg said: "We were extremely pleased by the quality of all the candidates. It's testament to the high regard in which the Devon and Cornwall force is held nationwide. A rigorous, transparent and very fair interview process culminated in a unanimous decision by the five strong panel. Shaun Sawyer impressed us tremendously with his clear vision for the future of policing in this area, and I'm very much looking forward to working closely with him."
"Shaun Sawyer and I have already built an excellent working relationship and i'm confident that will develop further in the future with our joint aim of cutting crime. Shaun has already made some good progress in this regard since taking temporary charge nearly a year ago."
Shaun Sawyer began his police career in 1986, initially as a uniformed officer in central London. More recently he was the Metropolitan Police lead for covert operations and intelligence (2005-2007), lead for violent crime and geographic policing in South West London (2007-2008) and in 2008 was appointed as Head of Counter terrorism within Scotland Yard. He joined the Devon and Cornwall force as Deputy Chief Constable in April 2010.
He's now relishing his new role: "I am delighted to have been selected at this stage to be the new chief constable, and look forward to continue working with the police and crime commissioner, Tony Hogg, to provide the best possible policing service across the peninsula. I would like to say how privileged I feel to have been given the opportunity to continue to lead such a dedicated and skilled workforce."
"This is an excellent force and I am proud to have served as both deputy chief constable and temporary chief constable over the past few years."
"The force still faces many challenges over the next few years, but I am confident that through the ongoing hard work and dedication of my staff and officers we can continue to drive down crime, protect vulnerable people and provide an excellent policing service to people across Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly."

Excellent choice, not only has he the experience of having worked in London but will be well aquainted with policing in a large rural area.

Gill Zella Martin 09 says...
I am basing my opinion on his current track record and the fact that he is already involved with policing in a large rural area, take for example the candidate from Surrey, he in my opinion would have been coming from an affluent county with very little geographical rural considerations. Research on any of the candidates is quite easy to carry out. My personal second choice would have been the candidate from Avon and Somerset. I thought the previous Chief Constable Stephen Otter was very good, however, I do not believe he truly had cognizance of the problems the very small rural areas endure.

Manorlands is chosen as Keighley shopping centre's charity
9:00am Thursday 13th February 2014 in News
Manorlands is the chosen charity this year of Keighley's Airedale Shopping Centre.
The hospice was selected from a five-strong shortlist, through a Facebook vote.
Other contenders were Cancer Support Bradford & Airedale, the Keighley & District branch of the National Autistic Society, Little Heroes children's cancer charity and Wildlife Rescue Sanctuaries.
Centre manager Steve Seymour said: "Manorlands is a fantastic cause and one we have worked with a lot in the past, and we are looking forward to doing so again for the coming year."
Harriet Bevan, a fundraiser at the hospice, said the partnership was fantastic news for Manorlands and she thanked everyone who voted for it.
"It is fantastic news not just for the fact it will help us bring in income to provide more care in the local area but also it's an opportunity for us to spread more awareness of what we do as a charity and reach out and talk to people in our community," she said.

Raise your hand if you had the Cowboys leapfrogging seven teams to draft Morris Claiborne. Those with your hands up: Liars.
The Cowboys did not at any point speak with Claiborne throughout the draft process. Not once.
They were enamored with his ability, but how a Jerry Jones-led team was able to zip its collective lips might go down as one of the great draft folk stories ever.
Claiborne. Brandon Carr. Man defense, anyone? Feeling like blitzing, Rob Ryan? You can now.
The big mystery now is what to do with Mike Jenkins. The first-round pick from three years ago might not be exactly expendable, but it would not be shocking if he's moved. With the big money the team paid to Carr and Orlando Scandrick and the top-10 cash they'll pay out to Claiborne, it's going to get a little hairy — especially with that whole salary-cap snafu.
Claiborne is Nolan Nawrocki's third-rated player in this class behind Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson. It's no shock the Cowboys liked him — all 32 teams did — but it's surprising they would give up their second-round pick to move up and select him. They liked him that much at a position they are, in theory, heavily invested in.
Now, the question is: Do you put Claiborne back on kickoffs, having seen what Patrick Peterson did on punts a year ago? It'd be tempting. Claiborne averaged 25 yards a return his first time doing it last season in college and took one back for 99 yards against West Virginia. The Cowboys really lacked in this area a year ago (tied for 20th) but could be special if they let Claiborne and Dez Bryant return kicks and punts, respectively.
That said, Claiborne was brought in mainly for his coverage ability. Per Nawrocki, Claiborne has the long arms you want to press with, the field speed (faster than his timed speed) and the ball skills to be a game-changing corner in Dallas. And the Cowboys know their good corners.
This allows Ryan — armed with a full offseason to implement his complex scheme — to press and blitz and play man coverage as he wanted to do last year but often couldn't because of talent shortcomings and communication breakdowns. You want to cover DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin in Philly, Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks in New York, and Robert Griffin III and his vertical attack in D.C.? You have to cover and pressure quarterbacks. End of story.
What a stunning move by Jones and Co. And one that could end up being a huge score for the Cowboys.

The 2012 NFL Draft is just a couple of weeks away. One of the top prospects drawing a lot of attention prior to the draft is former Memphis Tigers defensive tackle Dontari Poe, who is expected to be one of the elite defensive linemen in this year's crop of draftees.
According to Gil Brandt of NFL.com, Poe has already met with several NFL teams who wanted to get a chance to spend some one-on-one time with the player. Poe opted to stand by his exemplary numbers in the 2012 NFL Combine rather than participate at Memphis' pro day on March 22. It appears he is correct in that no further demonstration of his ability is needed, as he has had meetings with the Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
The Panthers hold the No. 9 overall pick in the draft. It is possible they could snatch up Poe before any other teams have a chance.

Seen on Broadway: There are certain productions that are ideal for the century-old Belasco Theatre, which is allegedly haunted by the ghost of its impresario namesake. The time-shifting Follies, revived a few years back, was one. So was last season's return of the period drama Awake and Sing! But I can't think of a show better suited to its stage than its current occupant, Journey's End. There's something about being there that lends a perfect ambiance to R.C. Sherriff's still-moving account of life in the trenches of France during the Great War. The playwright knew of what he wrote, in 1928—a decade earlier, he had for three years been a captain in England's 9th East Surrey Regiment. Journey's End is as much a piece of first-rate war reportage as it is a drama, and the audience I saw it with was completely rapt. Like the Belasco, the writing has its creaky side; like the venue as well, however, the details are finely etched, and endlessly fascinating. I never knew how to wear a helmet into battle, and never really thought about it, either, but now I do, and was pleased that the playwright took the time to explain it. Under David Grindley's observant direction, these little things add up to a considerable whole.
The play covers six days in the life of an English regiment in their wooden confines. The activity is mostly mundane, but with a constant edge of uneasiness—a German advance is coming, and a raid is ordered. The characters, so well-drawn by Sherriff that they were doomed to become caricatures over time, emerge from their routines. Fortunately, the mostly American cast wipes the cobwebs off the materials, and stamps each one with authority—the standouts are Boyd Gaines' sensible lieutenant, Jefferson Mays' comical cook, John Ahlin's plus-sized second lieutenant, and Stark Sands' enlistee, whose education in trench existence is ours as well. In the role of the hard-drinking, war-weary captain, Britain's Hugh Dancy makes himself at home in the army boots previously occupied by Laurence Olivier and Colin Clive in James Whale's stage and screen versions. The action of the play proceeds, first steadily, then unnervingly, to that final confrontation with the Germans. The most shattering touch, however, is the curtain call, a stunning set piece all its own to rival the recent revival of Cabaret. Not for nothing is Journey's End, unseen on Broadway since the Depression era, back among us in our own war-torn times.
The design is masterful. It had to be—without it, the docudrama nature of the show, revived to great acclaim in London in 2004, would be forfeit. Jonathan Fensom's set and costumes are beyond reproach; the actors, who wear the uniforms very naturally, look as if they had stepped out of period photographs. The low-slung, claustrophobic set is a marvel of realistic construction, and is very much a character in its own right. Jason Taylor has lit it very sparsely, peppered with tiny units that are indistinguishable from the candles onstage. If even the slightest bit off his lighting would challenge eyesight but as it is it adds considerable verisimilitude to the production. The most awesome contribution comes from Gregory Clarke's sound design, which is pin-drop quiet much of the time, then explodes—Sherriff identifies each bomb sound for us, and, at the end, hits us with a mighty cacophony, a barrage so unsettling I thought for sure the Belasco would not make it. Set-Up Scenery built the set, {Hudson Scenic provided the automation, and PRG Lighting and PRG Audio those elements.} Like Journey's End, however, the theatre is a trouper and a survivor, and it is privileged to house one of the very best revivals of the season.—Robert Cashill

I took a break from the SnapStory Project over the past couple months to buy a house and move out of a place I had lived in for nearly 12 years. I knew it was going to be a colossal project, but I had no idea what remnants I would find of past lives. Tim O'Brien wrote about "The Things They Carried." For me, it's more of a matter of "The Things We Save." Among the catacombs of my basement were artifacts of past relationships, former hobbies and companies gone bust.
The Remains of Dot-com Dreams Gone Bust
I lasted about a month before I started have difficulties posting a new story everyday. I have plenty of good reasons, of course, most of which start with me getting distracted with other projects. Last week one of those distractions was a beautiful snow storm that cut across Minnesota, dumping well over a foot of fresh snow in my front yard. This time, the snow fell during the day, giving me a perfect opportunity to try something I've been wanting to do for a long time: time-lapse photography.
What ever happened to Snow Days?
It amazes me that there are areas of Minneapolis that I've never seen. Driving home western Wisconsin last weekend we got lost trying to find an architectural salvage yard. We vaguely knew that it was on the edge of downtown along the river, but not much more. In the process of trying to find it, we got lost. But the beauty of getting lost in your own town is that you uncover such wonderful treasures you never knew existed.

August 21, 2012
Aug. 21, 2012, marks the 41st anniversary of the rebellion at San Quentin prison that ended in the assassination of Comrade George Jackson. The rebellion came to be known as Black August. At the time of his death at age 29, George Jackson was the best known prison revolutionary in the United States and field marshal of the Black Panther Party.
August 12, 2012
An estimated 80,000 men, women and even children are being held in solitary confinement on any given day in U.S. prisons. If the struggle to end inhumane treatment inside prisons is to become anything more than a largely apolitical movement for so-called "civil rights," it must put two long-ignored points back on the agenda: race and revolution.
August 11, 2012
Abdul Olugbala Shakur and M. Ajanaku are in the process of collecting essays written by New Afrikan Black political prisoners and political prisoners of war for a book titled "In the Spirit of George Jackson." Proceeds from sale of the book will be donated to the San Francisco Bay View and the New Afrikan Criminology Academy (NACA).
August 10, 2012
Black August is a time to remember and recommit to freeing our political prisoners who were targeted by COINTELPRO and similar schemes and have been imprisoned ever since – many for more than 30 years.
August 8, 2012
Black August is dedicated to freeing all political prisoners and putting America's night- and day-mare prison system in check. Black August is about making folks inside know we will not leave them to the embedded cruelty of their captors. The need to build more and stronger support for political captives is greater than ever.
August 4, 2012
It is essential that we lay down the life of crime and turn our focus to our careers as mothers, wives, sisters and comrades. Once we get our priorities in order, we will be able to take our rightful positions in the world and become the leaders we are meant to be!
August 2, 2012
The concept of Black August grew out of the need to expose to the light of day the glorious and heroic deeds of Afrikan women and men who recognized and fought injustice. We consecrate this month to those who have been taken from us but who will never be forgotten – for the love of freedom which their lives were dedicated to.
July 31, 2012
CDCR state operatives have criminalized the historical-cultural legacy of Black August under the false pretense of it being a BGF (Black Guerrilla Family) prison gang concept that promotes violence against CDCR's state operatives. Black August is not a prison gang concept, and it definitely does not entail the promotion of any violence!
July 30, 2012
Unlike any other ethnic group in the U.S., we have been named various ethnic classifications over the past 363 years of our New Afrikan existence. We New Afrikans must now put to rest this miseducation of our ethnic classifications. We are a New Afrikan Nation (NAN) within the borders of the United States.
July 27, 2012
Black August provides New Afrikan (Black) people with a confidence that we can fulfill our historical obligations and win our ideological and political objectives, inspiring us to wrest control of our own destiny from the hands of our historical oppressors and tormentors.
July 11, 2012
Black August is a month of reflection on the losses that we as a people have suffered. It is a month of high elation and extreme sorrow – elation for our resistance, sorrow for our losses. For me, the three most significant events of August are Jonathan Jackson's raid on the Marin County Courthouse in 1970, the August 1971 liberation of the San Quentin Adjustment Center by Comrade George Jackson and Nat Turner's slave uprising.
June 12, 2012
San Francisco Bayview's own, the undefeated Welterweight Champion of the World, Karim "Hard Hitta" Mayfield (16-0-1), brings his knockout power to the San Francisco Black Film Festival. "In the Hive" director Robert Townsend is coming a day early, on Thursday, to promote his film, which opens the festival. It stars Michael Clarke Duncan, Loretta Devine, Vivica A. Fox and newcomer Jonathan McDaniel.
March 12, 2012
Under the false premise that I was organizing prisoners for purposes of carrying forth a physical assault in the spirit of Black August, 18 years later, I remain confined in their "mad-scientist" like torture chambers as an alleged prison gang member solely because I refuse to become an informant for the state!
November 7, 2011
About two weeks ago, the IGI (Institutional Gang Investigator) searched my cell in SHU and confiscated my Bay View newspapers, saying they are contraband if any articles speak on George Jackson or Black August. They said that the newspaper with said articles would be used to re-validate me at my six-year review. I should not be penalized for a newspaper article.
October 16, 2011
"Most people realize that crime is simply the result of a grossly disproportionate distribution of wealth and privilege … an aspect of class struggle from the outset. Throughout its history, the United States has used its prisons to suppress any organized efforts to challenge its legitimacy," wrote George Jackson in "Blood in My Eye."
August 3, 2011
As minister of justice, my message to all the members of the NABPP-PC is long live the Panther! Empower yourselves: Don't fear freedom. To clear our minds, I propose that we eat one meal a day throughout the month of August – and fast completely on Aug. 7 in honor of Jonathan Jackson, again on Aug. 21 in honor of George Jackson and again on Aug. 31 in honor of Hasan Shakur and all other true revolutionary comrades who have fallen in the struggle.
September 4, 2010
I'm writing to update you on the continuing attempt to deny us Afrikan descendants here at Pelican Bay solitary confinement SHU control units the exercise of the human birthright to read, write, study, learn and celebrate our African heritage, history and culture.
August 4, 2010
Marilyn Buck was a former political prisoner and prisoner of war. Along with Mutulu Shakur, she was responsible for the liberation of Assata Shakur from prison in 1979. She later went underground and spent 25 years in prison. She was released July 15, 2010. Then suddenly, only 19 days later, she was gone.
August 2, 2010
Today, free speech inside the penitentiary is increasingly becoming a scant luxury, not the universally recognized right abstracted by federal judges. As early as March 2008, the San Francisco Bay View began receiving dispatches from California prisoners alerting the newspaper that prisoners in possession of the newspaper were being charged with gang affiliation and having their subscriptions withheld.
November 20, 2009
Jalil Mutaqim, one of the longest held political prisoners in the U.S., was once again denied parole on Nov. 18, 2009. Visit FreeJalil.com to learn more about this extraordinary, heroic brother, who traded a minor plea for the freedom from all charges of four of his San Francisco 8 comrades. Support must grow so that his next parole date, in June 2010, is successful and he is free to return to the loving arms of his family and to continue to teach and show us how to be our own liberators.

The Power of Upholstery
A wider array of color is reaching retail floors, as color plays a vital role in purchase decisions. One of the big stories at April's High Point Market was the amount of color featured in showrooms at every price level and across categories. On the upholstery side, sofas and chairs in fabric and leather were introduced in muted and bright shades of blue, green, red, pink, purple and yellow, as well as in several lines of upholstered headboards.

UFO over London 11/05/2012
- Arvy777
- uploaded: May 14, 2012
- Hits: 519
I was walking in Wapping, London by the river Thames, where I saw this object strangely blinking in the sky. I pulled my camera out and start filming. I also saw one lady enjoying nice river view, and when I stopped filming she was not there any more.
Before I start filming this object was around 500 metres from me, and there wore birds flying near by as well. I thought this object was around 1-2 metre in diameter.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - City of Toledo officials announced plans Wednesday to implement a new high-tech security plan based on surveillance cameras. About 75 cameras will be placed throughout the city, targeting high crime areas. Some will be mobile, while others will be permanently mounted.
"We're going to focus on high crime areas, we're going to focus on areas where we feel strategically we can place these cameras to help reduce crime in our community," said Toledo Police Chief Derrick Diggs.
All the cameras will feed to a "real time crime center" in the Safety Building. Diggs said the department does not have the manpower to continuously monitor the cameras, but they will record 24 hours per day. Some cameras will detect and focus on the sound of gunshots.
Toledo safety officials visited Memphis, Tennessee, where a similar system currently in place has cut crime in the city.
Chief Diggs said he realizes people may worry this is big brother going too far.
"I understand privacy issues, but I also think that we have to be concerned about public safety, so those types of issues, we'll have to deal with," Diggs said.
The initial cost of the system is expected to be around $1 million and will be funded by assets seized in criminal investigations.
The police department must still go through the bidding process and get city council's approval, Diggs said cameras will go up as soon as possible.
