Patrick Cote and Tom Lawlor stepped into the Octagon to kick off the Spike TV undercard portion of UFC 121. Cote had fallen far since his shot at UFC middleweight king, Anderson Silva. After being out of action for a long time due to a knee injury suffered against Silva, Cote returned and lost a fight to Alan Belcher.
Tom Lawlor would do the Canadian no favors as he used his superior wrestling to get constant takedowns and do a lot of damage from top position with punches and elbows. At times Cote was able to work his way back to his feet but he was never able to do any damage or put Tom in the slightest bit of trouble over the fifteen minutes of action.
Big John McCarthy disappointed a lot of MMA fans by standing the fight up while Lawlor was actively working ground and pound. Regardless of if he was trying to assist in making the fight "entertaining" or not, it was bad reffing from a man once thought of as, without a doubt, the best in the business.
With the win Lawlor got a much needed win after losing his last two fights.

By JOHN KLINE
Goshen College business major Brianne Mault has pretty much always known what she wanted to study in college. For others, that decision didn't come so easily. Now, with her college graduation right around the corner, Mault and about 240 of her fellow graduates in the class of 2013 are about to find out just what those decisions will mean for their futures in the months and years to come.
In preparation for Goshen College's 115th Commencement, set to kick off today at 3 p.m., Mault looked back on her college career in an effort to examine what exactly goes into the process of deciding on a college major.
"I think I was kind of odd, actually, because probably by my sophomore year in high school I already knew what I wanted to do," Mault said with a laugh. "I always knew since middle school I was really interested in the medical industry, so at first I kind of played with the idea of doing pre-med, maybe being a biology major."
An avid soccer player in high school, Mault said she often found herself in her orthopedic surgeon's office getting treated for one injury or another. It was that relationship that really got her started on the idea of pursuing a business major in college, rather than a full medical focus.
"Being in and out of my orthopedic surgeon's office, we'd kind of talk back and forth about what I wanted to do with my life," Mault said. "At one point he said, 'Well, if you don't want to go to school for an extensive amount of time, I think I have something that would be up your alley, and if you're willing to try it, I'll give you my contact and you can just run with it and see how you like it."
That "something" turned out to be the name of a sales representative with Biomet, one of the world's leading medical device manufacturers located in Warsaw. From that point on, Mault was hooked.
"So he introduced me to his sales rep," Mault said, "and then from my sophomore year of high school on I just shadowed him whenever I had free time. ... That kind of really captured my interest and from there it was history."
Mault was quick to note that she wasn't without anxiety when trying to decide a major.
"It was kind of scary, especially from a commitment standpoint," Mault said. "You're kind of like, "What if I don't like it down the line? And if I don't, did I just waste four years on this? Will I have to start over?' So I think that's another thing that helped me decide on my major, because business is such a broad focus that you can really do anything. It gives you a lot of leeway and a lot of wiggle room."
Some idea
According to Anita Yoder, director of career services for GC, while a majority of incoming students typically have at least some idea of what they want to study in college, there are always those who need a little bit of assistance.
"On occasion, that student does come in to talk to me about that," Yoder said. "A lot come in already knowing what they want to study, but they also have a couple years to make any final decisions, and it's not uncommon for a student to change their mind once or twice."
For students who find themselves in such a situation, Yoder said the college has several resources available such as helpful websites, assessment tools and one-on-one conversations with people such as herself to help them make a final decision.
"One of the things that makes it difficult for students is that there are so many choices out there," Yoder said. "Often times they can narrow it down to a major or two, but then after that, that's when they have to figure out what they're focus is going to be from there. And for some, that is not an easy choice."
Yoder said her first goal when talking to students without a clear career goal is to determine their likes and interests.
"I try and see what their interests are, what really excites them, what areas they would love to spend more time in if they could," Yoder said. "Then I encourage them to talk to people in those fields so they can get an idea of what that industry is like, what a day-in-the-life is like, because a lot of times what's missing in the equation is that first-hand information."
A big help
Mault also pointed to the college's freshman year colloquium as a big help for students who haven't yet decided on which direction they would like to go with their studies.
"Our colloquium, that's in our freshman year, where everybody has one class that's kind of like your home room or SRT in high school," Mault said. "So that's kind of the designated professor that you build a relationship with until you're assigned an advisor and declare your major. They really tell you if you're not sure yet, it's your freshman year, it's a lot of gen-ed classes, and you have time to decide. So they really encourage you to think hard about what you want to do so you don't get halfway through something and then have to backtrack."
As for her, Mault said she couldn't be happier with the direction she decided to go with her college career and beyond.
"In the grand scheme of things, it couldn't have worked out better," Mault said. "I'm really, really happy that I did what I did."

activities and attractions in Wild Dunes South Carolina
The Isle of Palms, with its six miles of white, sandy
beaches, is as much a place of beautiful serenity for residents and
visitors today as it was 25,000 years ago for the Seewee Indians and
the colonists who followed. If you love history, you can spend your
entire vacation steeped in the history of Charleston and surrounding
islands. Just go a few miles from Wild Dunes toward Sullivan�s
Island and you will cross Breach Inlet where the Hunley submarine
put in during the Civil War. Sullivan�s Island has Fort Moultrie
and from there go to Patriots Point in Mt. Pleasant where you can
tour the USS Yorktown. Then it is 15 minutes to downtown Charleston
where history abounds. It is a fascinating place to explore with
Revolutionary War & Civil War history and the history of the city.
There are Charleston web sites that will give you a list of all the
carriage tours, walking tours, boat tours. You can also tour Boone
Hall Plantation, Magnolia Plantation & Gardens, and Middleton Place.
But Charleston is not just history. There is the Aquarium for young
& old, great shopping, famous dining experiences, night life, golf
courses, tennis courts & many water sports available. There are eco-
tours, dinner cruises, & at the Wild Dunes Marina you can rent jet
skis, or go parasailing. You can fish right out our back door or go
deepwater fishing. Bike rental is available both in Wild Dunes &
Mt. Pleasant. The shopping and dining in Mt. Pleasant are also
great but many people are content to spend their week on the Isle of
Palms watching the ocean, swimming & playing on the beach.

There are many things you will need to think about before you depart for New Zealand. This section covers some of the basics. Please feel free to contact your program manager at any time as you prepare for your experience abroad!
You will need a passport to travel to New Zealand.
Please visit the U.S. State Department travel pages for the most up-to-date information regarding passport application and fees.
Passports are valid for ten years unless you applied for one before age 18 in which case it is valid for only five years. If you already have a passport, it must remain valid for the full length of your stay abroad (and for three months beyond your intended return date to the U.S.). Immigration officials may deny your entry to New Zealand, or airline staff may refuse to let you board, if your passport will expire before the end of your program. It is not possible to renew an expired passport while overseas; therefore, your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. You will not be allowed to leave the US with a passport that will expire before your program end date.
Allow plenty of time to apply for your passport, particularly in the busy summer months. Processing can take as long as six weeks. We recommend you apply as early as possible so that you're not caught at the last minute. More information is available here.
You will need a visa to study in New Zealand. For information on entry requirements for New Zealand, please visit this page.
After you have been accepted, your program manager will email you important supporting documentation for the visa application process. If you are not a U.S. citizen, it is your responsibility to obtain visas and/or special entry papers or documentation required. Please contact your program manager immediately for assistance with this process.
Immunizations are not required for travel to New Zealand or to return to the US. The US Department of State recommends, however, that you check your health records to make sure your measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis immunizations are up to date. We strongly recommend meningitis inoculations, although they are not mandatory. For further information, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website.
Health and Accident Insurance
If you have any medical or psychological condition that may require attention overseas from a physician or psychiatrist, please tell us about it. Because some conditions may be exacerbated or reactivated by the experience of living in a new country, you may want to report earlier conditions for which you have been treated successfully. If you have any doubt about these matters, check with your physician/psychiatrist.
Be sure to have your physician/psychiatrist prepare an adequate summary of the details of your condition so you can be properly treated by a physician/psychiatrist overseas. List all medications you regularly use, and be sure to have adequate supplies of special items. Brand names and dosages differ, and you may have difficulty tracking down the specific medication you want. Be sure all prescriptions you take with you are labeled with your name, the name of your physician and the generic name of the medication. We want you to provide us with any information that would help us assist you in an emergency.
This information will be treated confidentially and remain in our files only until you complete your Arcadia University program. We encourage students with a medical condition which might affect emergency treatment to wear a MedicAlert bracelet or pendant.
At Arcadia University we encourage students with disabilities to consider study abroad and we are committed to working with each student to find a program that suits his or her individual needs. Please keep us informed of any special needs, including dietary restrictions/preferences, physical concerns or learning disabilities, allergies and strict religious observances. Providing this information will not jeopardize your place in the program. It is much easier for us to help you if we know about your special needs ahead of time. Please visit the health and safety section of our website for further information and resources.
For safety and comfort, wear loose-fitting, natural-fiber clothing during flight. Do not wear snug-fitting or heeled footwear! It is helpful to do seat exercises or to walk in the aisles in order to maintain good circulation.
It is always advisable to sleep during long flights (a flight attendant will provide you with a pillow and blanket). You should avoid alcoholic beverages in flight because they cause dehydration. The recycled air in a plane also has a drying effect, so you should drink non-alcoholic beverages regularly. If you require a special diet, notify the airline at least 24 hours before departure. If you suffer from the effects of jet lag, inquire about methods to combat this problem.
We list the following guidelines as precautionary measures, rather than to alarm you. All of the destinations we offer are located in areas that are, statistically, less crime-prone than the average American urban area. Still, it is important to protect yourself and use common sense.
Americans are easy targets. We dress differently, speak loudly, carry backpacks and have a distinct accent. Thus, the people you meet may see you with stereotypical eyes -- as rich as someone on television -- and an occasion may arise where someone may want to become friends with you in order to obtain in one form or another your money or your passport.
According to the U.S. State Department, hundreds of U.S. citizens are injured or killed in road accidents overseas every year. In New Zealand, people drive on the left and the road network reflects the country's often rugged terrain. Arcadia discourages students from driving in New Zealand. Your home school may have a policy that is more restrictive than Arcadia's; if you do plan to drive, you must first confirm that your home school's policies permit driving abroad. Once in country, you are required to follow all New Zealand regulations regarding renting/purchasing, insurance, and driving.
A woman traveling on her own may encounter more difficulties than a man by himself. Some of the best ways to avoid hassle are to fit in and try to understand the roles of the sexes in the culture in which you are traveling. Flexibility means observing how the host country's women dress and behave, and following their example. What may be appropriate or friendly behavior in the US may bring you unwanted, even dangerous, attention in another culture.
Try not to take offense at whistles and other gestures of appreciation, regardless of whether they are compliments, invitations, or insults. Realize that, in many countries, these gestures are as much as part of the culture as is the food, history and language.
But if a situation is dangerous – if you are made to feel uncomfortable – then act as if it is. Be extra careful when giving your trust. This applies generally, but is especially important when traveling alone. Avoid being out alone at night in unfamiliar territory — on the street, in parks, on trams, on trains. If, for example, at night you suddenly find yourself alone in a train car, move to another one where other people are sitting.
If you are sexually active, take care of yourself and practice safe sex. Be aware that any type of relationship, whether heterosexual, bisexual or homosexual, entails the risk of a sexually-transmitted disease. Entering into a relationship overseas should, therefore, be approached with the same precautions you would use at home. The charm of a once-in-a-lifetime romance in another country may be tempting, but consider any relationship carefully and remember that you are only in your host country for a short time. There are different cultural values regarding dating and relationships.
When traveling abroad, be aware that some countries may require HIV antibody tests. Travelers should also know that some countries may not have the resources to screen blood adequately or provide sterile needles or medical facilities. While health care is generally at a very high standard, we recommend that you take normal, everyday precautions to avoid putting yourself at risk. Do not use intravenous drugs. Practice safe sex. Think carefully about administration of CPR if you are trained to do so. Do not share personal care items, such as razors, with others.
You should notify your study abroad advisor that you are planning to take part in an Arcadia University program and be sure to take care of any necessary paperwork before you leave campus. Remember to cancel housing and meal contracts for the time you'll be away and make arrangements to reactivate them when you return.
If registration for next year's courses on your home campus will take place while you are abroad, ensure that the appropriate arrangements are made with your registrar or study abroad advisor so that you will receive your registration materials in a timely fashion.
Some students enrolled on semester programs decide when they are overseas to stay for the full year. This is possible. While home college approval for continued study can be obtained when you are abroad, it will be much easier to make the necessary arrangements and receive preliminary approval before you leave the US.
If you have been accepted to a semester program but want to leave yourself the possibility of staying for the full year, consult your study abroad advisor about what you must do now to facilitate continuing your stay for a full year should you decide to do this.
If you are studying abroad during your senior year, make arrangements for your yearbook photo before you leave home. You don't want to be left out!
You won't want to miss the opportunity to vote if you are overseas on election day. Arcadia University's Absentee Voting Information webpage is a step-by-step guide to voting by absentee ballot. Remember to start the process early to ensure that you have enough time to submit your ballot by the deadline.
New Zealand is a broadly gay-friendly place, and Auckland and Wellington both have genuinely vibrant gay scenes. Certainly there remains an intolerance at times, particularly in rural areas, but it generally stays well below the surface.
All this has partly come about in response to New Zealand's admirable recent history of resistance to anti-gay bigotry. Homosexuality was decriminalized in 1986, and the human rights section of the legislation was passed in 1993, with none of the usual exceptions made for the military or the police. This also makes it illegal to discriminate against gays and people with HIV or AIDS, and makes no limitation on people with HIV or AIDS entering the country.
In 2004, the Civil Union Act was passed in New Zealand. The act provides the criteria, rules and processes for two people to have their relationship formalized as a civil union (by way of a formal ceremony) and officially registered in New Zealand. A Civil Union may be entered into by couples of the same sex or by couples of different sexes. Although this is not 'marriage', it is a breakthrough for gay couples who want their relationship recognized by NZ law.
For more information on study abroad support for LGBT students and to identify in-country resources, see www.indiana.edu/~overseas/lesbigay/index.html, the website for NAFSA: Association of International Educators Rainbow Special Interest Group. The site includes important considerations for LGBT students as well as a bibliography of books and websites.

There are several options you may wish to consider for keeping in touch with friends and family back home. Former students have often found a combination of the below options provided them with the best opportunities overseas.
Host-country mobile—to help you integrate with locals and provide a deeper cultural inclusion, Arcadia often recommends students purchase a mobile phone after arriving in-country. During Arcadia orientation our staff will speak to the benefits of have a host-country mobile and explain how they can be purchased.
It is important to keep in mind that while these phones should help you connect with others in-country, they may not be the most cost efficient option for long conversations back to the United States.
International cell phone— many US cellular phone companies provide international phoning options, so an existing cell phone can work any where in the world. This allows you to keep your same number and contact your friends and family just as if you were home.
One thing to remember when deciding whether to bring an international cell phone is any calls to your number from new friends in-country will be made back to the United States and not local.
Skype or VOiP—phoning home over the internet is an inexpensive way to keep in touch with others. Students and their family can sign-up online prior to departing and plan ahead about when to connect.
It is important to remember that internet access, reliability, and strength may be vastly different to what you are familiar with at home. Often times, students describe this difference as one of the most significant of their time abroad. Be sure to review your program's housing information to learn if internet is provided or available.
International calling card— often the most inexpensive and manageable way to call home, International calling cards can be purchased either before departing or in-country. Calling cards allow for a specific allotment of call credit to be available for your conversations.
Telephones may not always be provided in your accommodations, so it is important to check your program's housing information. All long distance calls from land lines are cheaper on weekends and after 6 p.m. during the week. You will find lots of cards available that offer competitive rates.
New Zealand is located just west of the international dateline. Daylight savings time starts the first weekend in October and ends in mid-March. Thus, it is 16 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time from mid-March - September and 18 hours ahead from October-mid-March.
For those of you planning to travel before your program begins, after it ends, or during the break, we offer the following practical suggestions.
You should take a look at the many excellent travel books available in campus or local bookstores. Popular budget guides are Lonely Planet, Let's Go or Berkeley guides.
New Zealand is easy to navigate whether by air, bus, ferry or train. Air New Zealand and Qantas are the most frequently used airlines within NZ, but there is a wide choice of airlines for travel to Australia, Fiji and other Pacific Islands. New Zealand's bus network is also extensive and some bus operators offer discounts for students. There are some bus companies that operate particularly for the backpacker market with clearly defined routes that pass through the most popular tourist areas -- see Stray, Magic Bus and Kiwi Experience. Finally, train routes are extremely few and it's usually cheaper to book in advance and get a cheap flight. Many Arcadia students buy or hire cars with friends -- Arcadia strongly recommends that students do not drive in New Zealand -- roads are more windy and narrow than in the U.S. and people drive on the left hand side of the road. If students do drive in NZ they need to make sure the vehicle has at least third party insurance and check the NZ road code as some of the rules are not the same.
Consult your guidebook for further suggestions on travels in New Zealand.
Youth hostels are inexpensive student accommodations found around the world. Costs are kept to a minimum by asking hostellers to share jobs. You can join Hostelling International USA for $28 before you depart. Although you can purchase your membership abroad, many students like the peace of mind of having the membership in hand before departure.

Hampshire Apprentice tipped for success
4:40am Thursday 31st May 2012 in Fareham
HAMPSHIRE'S Apprentice hopeful Ricky Martin has been tipped to win the reality TV show after millions of viewers saw him reach the final last night.
The 26-year-old recruitment team manager and sometime wrestler from Stubbington will battle for the top prize with Tom Gearing, 23, the director of a fine wine investment company; business development manager Jade Nash, 29; and Nick Holzherr, 25, a technology entrepreneur.
Last night fruit seller Adam Corbally's dream of winning The Apprentice went pear-shaped after his team lost the luxury product task.
The market trader missed out on a place in the final after his high-end chocolates and jellies failed to sweeten Lord Sugar.
Corbally, from Glossop in Derbyshire, is now tipping Ricky to win.
"He's the best candidate in the process. He's clear and concise, he's on the money, he's a clever lad," he said.
"He's shown himself in every task and he's proved himself in the boardroom time after time."

Akron Marathon Relay 2011 by Mark Borger and team "Running Cats & Dogs" - almost 3 years ago
"This photo was taken after we finished the Akron Marathon Relay and were awarded our finishing medals. We designed our shirts on CustomInk's user friendly site. Using artwork that was on the site we found our mascots from high schools we all graduated from. It happened to be 2 high schools, one were bulldogs the other was bearcats. We added paws and used the combined school colors. We were not sure what to expect when the shirts arrived, but we were very pleased when we saw the quality shirt and silk screening. The color of the shirt stood out in the crowd so we could find each other easier throughout the event. Thanks again, CustomInk."

Mother-of-millions (often called mother-of-thousands or Alligator plant) is a succulent plant native to Madagascar that is very easy to care for as a house plant.
Mother-of-millions is also one of the easiest houseplants to propagate, as it has the ability to propagate via vegetative propagation. This means that new plants grow from the "mother" plant without the use of seeds or spores. Asexual reproduction at it's finest.
Mother-of-millions plants grow tall with jagged leaves, the ends of which sprout "babies," new plants that can be removed and planted individually to create a new "mother" plant. These "babies" often have multiple leaves and roots by the time they are disconnected or drop, and they will root just about anywhere. In the nothern hemisphere Mother-of-millions can only survive as a houseplant, as it would be killed by frost. But in more temperate climates Mother-of-millions is a very invasive species. Even growing these guys in your home it's easy to see how quickly they multiply.
Here is a tray of babies that I am nursing into adulthood. Once they get a little bigger I'll transplant them. For now I have them under a grow light, as my window space is limited. Soon I'll probably just stick them outside for the summer.
Mother-of-millions enjoys bright light. In your house, the brighter the better. Mother-of-millions will thrive in a bright south-facing window. They like to dry out, but should not be left to mummify. Succulents do store water in their fleshy leaves, but they do not have the water storage capabilities of cacti. I also recommend fertilizing monthly during the growing season with a well-balanced fertilizer.
Also, please note that ALL PARTS of Mother-of-millions plants are toxic to humans and animals, so this may not be the best plant for someone with small children or hungry, curious pets. Make sure to keep Mother-of-millions out of reach of your little ones, and remember that the "babies" will drop off of the mother plant from time to time, so you should inspect the area around your Mother-of-millions regularly for escapees.
Have questions about Mother-of-millions care? Has your Kalanchoe daigremontiana completely overrun your garden? Maybe you're interested in getting your hands on one of my newly rooted "babies"? Send us an email!

I'm not a big fan of the Democratic Party, as anyone who reads my articles and postings knows. I thought one of the non-opposition's party's lowest points came in 2002, when Democratic War Hawks like John Murtha (D-Pa.) voted for Bush's illegal and immoral war on Iraq. I think that many if not most of the few Democrats who now openly oppose the war don't get the full extent of what's wrong with the occupation of Iraq. They're opposing it as a mistake more because it isn't working (for unjust purposes) for American empire than because it's a crime that has murdered tens of thousands Iraqis….ctd
Still, I want to thank Big John for what he had to say yeserday about the troops in Iraq: "It's time to bring them home."
Yes it is.
Big John added: "Our troops have become the primary target of the insurgency. They are united against U.S. forces and we have become a catalyst for violence. The war in Iraq is not going as advertised. It is a flawed policy wrapped in an illusion."
There's some problems here in my opinion. It's not an "insurgency;" it's a resistance movement that has been going on since March 19, 2003. We are not simply "a catalyst for violence;" we are the "leading purveyor of violence in the world" — as Martin Luther King, Jr. noted in 1967 — and in Iraq. The policy is "flawed," but more than that it is monumentally criminal. And it's a war ON Iraq.
Still, it was good of big John to note (in however flawed a fashion) that, basically, we are the main problem over there.
But the really good part when Big John told those miserable corporate war criminals and uber-chickenhawks Dick Cheney and George W. Bush to go fuck themselves.
He called them out, big time.
Earlier this week, you may recall, the first chickenhawk said that Democrats were spouting "one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges" ever made by pointing out that the Bush administration had manipulated military intelligence before the occupation of Iraq. Imagine!
During his Veterans Day speech before yet another military audience, "Bring-Em On" Bush argued that Democrats who critcized his Iraq policy were essentially weakening America.
Asked about these comments from the world's top two war ciminals, Murtha said the following: "I like guys who've never been there who criticize us who've been there. I like that. I like guys who got five deferments and never been there and send people to war, and then don't like to hear suggestions about what needs to be done." Referring to Bush, Murtha said that as a veteran, he resented a chickenhawk president who used Veterans Day to "criticize Democrats for criticizing them."
Back in the Sixties, apparently, Big John wasn't a "Fortunate Son" like Bush or Cheney, who had had other priorities than fighting in a war they both supported. Big John, it turns out, is "a former Marine drill instructor who did a combat tour in Vietnam and retired as a colonel in the Marine Corps Reserve after 37 years of service" (New York Times, 18 November 2005).
"In the Vietnam era," the New York Times reports today, "Mr. Cheney had five deferments and did not serve in the military."
Bush added the following, speaking from South Korea yesterday, on Murtha's comments: "I think people ought to be allowed to ask questions."
Can we answer our questions too?

About 80,000 pounds of supplies are heading down to Moore, OK thanks to a South Bend-based charity organization. Feed the Hungry is loading two trucks with drinks and ready-to-eat meals for the victims of the tornado that decimated the town.
Feed the Hungry's Director of Logistics, Robert Boucek, says in the early days following a disaster it is crucially important to get food and water to victims. They are often dehydrated, and may not know where their next meal is coming from.
The organization has teamed with a church three miles south of the tornado's path that will act as a distribution center for the supplies.
If you want to help with their relief efforts, Boucek says they have enough food. What they need more than anything are cash donations to help pay for gas. You can donate on their website, feedthehungry.org
Feed the Hungry has these two trips planned, but will continue sending supplies as long as their is a need in Oklahoma.

ANDERSON, Ind. — A stranded motorist inadvertently caused a two-vehicle accident on Interstate 69 Sunday evening.
Madison County Sheriff Ron Richardson said the 5:43 p.m. accident near mile marker 223 occurred when Jennifer L. Hegeduis, 38, of Zionsville, swerved into the right northbound lane, trying to avoid stalled traffic in the left lane caused by a stranded motorist.
Eric M. Clark, 39, of New Haven, was driving a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica in the right lane and rear-ended the Hegeduis' 2006 Honda Odyssey, Richardson said.
She went off the side of the road, causing her vehicle to overturn. Clark ended up in the median on the ride side.
Hegeduis had swelling of the right hand and was taken to St. Vincent Anderson Regional Hospital.
Her passengers, Janice Lloyd, 63, and Miles D. Hegeduis, 12, suffered minor injures. Lloyd had a complaint of pain and Miles had a bruise on his head, Richardson said.
Clark's passenger, Sherri L. Roe, 38, had a broken right ankle while Ethan T. Roe, 8, complained of pain.
The Madison County Sheriff's Department closed a portion of the right lane down while an investigation was completed.

I looked at similar cufflinks on many other sites for as much as $300. These are great quality and a very fair price. I bought them for my husband to wear in our wedding. He gets plenty of use out of them, wearing them to important meetings and for good luck with market! The size is just right. Just large enough so that you can easliy see the design. I'd say the size is average compared to any other cufflinks.
Been looking for cufflinks like these for years, and could not pull the trigger to purchase the sterling silver version from a high-end jewelry retailer for 10x the price. Saw a similar pair on vacation for 2x the price and still walked away, so I was excited to find these. Arrived prior to promised date in perfect condition.
These are such sharp looking cufflinks! They are unique and my boyfriend always gets compliments when he wears them. Great purchase and the price was good!

Yoga for Psychological and Emotional Problems
You may think of yoga therapy as useful primarily for physical problems, but a major subject area in yoga is the mind, making it particularly useful for treating mental illness. In future columns, I'll talk in more detail about using yoga to relieve stress and burnout, anxiety and panic attacks, and depression, all of which yoga can help improve.
But one of the great beauties of yoga is that it's not just about taking your students from a negative state of mind to feeling "normal," which is the goal of most psychologists and physicians. Yoga aims much higher, seeking to put its practitioners in touch with a state of peace, joy, and equanimity that yogis insist is everyone's birthright. The key is getting your mind to work for you, not against you; millennia ago, yogis discovered a wide variety of practices to help achieve this end.
The Gunas
Yoga and Ayurveda, and the Samkya philosophy from which they both sprang, identify three general states of mind, called gunas. The three gunas are tamas, rajas, and sattva. Tamas is the state of heaviness or lack of movement; metaphorically, being stuck. The kind of depression in which a person sleeps excessively would be considered tamasic. Rajas implies movement, and a rajasic mental state is characterized by restlessness, agitation, and even panic. Sattva is the state of clarity, peace, and balance.
Even when two people carry the same diagnosis—say, depression—if one is tamasic and the other rajasic, your approach as a yoga therapist may need to be very different. In general in yoga and yoga therapy, the idea is to raise people who are tamasic to a rajasic state. A vigorous practice involving repeated Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar, for example) might be appropriate. Once you've gotten them out of a tamasic slump, you can shift your focus to moving them from rajas toward sattva, perhaps with inversions followed by deep relaxation (Savasana, or Corpse Pose).
When the guna of rajas dominates, it can be very useful to use an invigorating practice to "burn off steam." Afterward it may be possible for your students to settle into restorative practices or meditation, for which their minds may have been too "busy" earlier.
Thus, both the predominately tamasic and those who are more rajasic tend to benefit mentally from the kind of practice sequences that are common in general yoga classes. Most people feel sattvic after a practice that gradually builds in intensity and then winds down toward the end.
One caution, though: Students who have reached the state of physical and emotional burnout or vital exhaustion, even if their condition is rajasic, may not be capable of a strong yoga practice. Rather than giving them a workout, you'll need to focus on more soothing practices, perhaps flowing from one gentle pose to the next. Or use guided imagery exercises such as Yoga Nidra to keep their busy minds occupied while not taxing their bodies too heavily.
Svadhyaya: Studying the Mind
Yoga teaches that the more you have certain thoughts, or certain kinds of thoughts, the more likely you are to have them in the future. These are mental samskaras; like grooves in a muddy road, they tend to get deeper over time. Modern science is confirming the truth of this ancient yogic insight with new understanding of neuroplasticity. Scientists now understand that the more you think or do something, the stronger the neural pathways become that connect the specific brain cells (neurons) involved. Thus the more you beat yourself up emotionally, for example, the more likely you are to do it again and again.

"Celia Keenan-Bolger gives a performance in this revival that is so brilliant, I am still trying to wrap my head around it. She manages to create a Laura who is so small and afraid, so crushed by the weight of her own helplessness, so painfully shy; and yet her spirit resonates so fully and powerfully throughout the theatre. We empathize with this creature so, so much. The production is beautiful, and the entire cast is magnificent. But seeing a friend knock your socks off gives you a special sense of pride and inspiration."

Undated 22 oz bottle (almost certainly 2013 vintage) served in a Belgian snifter.
Pours very dark mahogany, clear but nearly black in the glass. The head is small but partially durable and leaves some spotty lacing.
This is an American style Schwarzbier: less sweet and more flavorful and hoppy than the standard German version. Hints of dark chocolate. Some smoke and expresso too, but only the slightest hint of burnt grain.
Feel: medium-light body with well-matched medium carbonation.
O: recopmmended

Pint at Beer Revolution in Cowtown.
This beer appears a very dark, somewhat hazy ruddy brown hue, with one finger of thin foamy tan head, which leaves a solid wash of painted lace around the glass as it seeps away. It smells of sweet roasted caramel malt, some cereal biscuit, and leafy hops. The taste is nutty, slighty toasty chocolate malt, some further cereal graininess, and soft earthy, musty green hops. The carbonation is moderate, and a tad frothy, the body a decent medium weight, and haltingly smooth. It finishes off-dry, but with the roast and the newly invigorated hops pressing the issue.
A decent black lager, at first it quite resembled OK Springs' version, but slowly grew apart, showing greater cocoa notes, as well as a sturdier countenance. Drinkable, and fairly enjoyable.

Poured from a brown 22 oz. bottle. Has a black color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of roasted malts, a touch of coffee. Taste is also roasted malts up front, some coffee, just a touch of chocolate. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is an enjoyable beer.

Picked up tonight on the way home from work at Brewforia.... Paid $5.40... enjoyed from my Cigar City snifter... Short lasting tan head... the brew is the expected black with a tiny bit of ruby sneaking through near the stem... more retention would be good for sure.
Nose is rich and roasty... very clean.. toasty with hints of coffee without ever becoming burnt.
Flavor is clean and lets the malts shine.. light toast and even lighter roasty malts again no burnt qualities... light French Roast begins mid palate and is drawn out a bit on the finish by a mild malt sweetness that is certainly within style guidelines...
Body is about right... but it shows pretty low carbonation.. could use a bit more bubbles for sure.
Everything about this bottle is nicely done.... except the carbonation... but on such a delicate brew that is a minus for me.. but this is still very good... I am definitely digging the Leavenworth brews as I always appreciate a well made German style brew.
Very happy I was able to try this one fresh... Time in the bottle is only going to hurt it.

Poured into a dogfish schooner to a coffee color with a tan head. Smell is off sweet malt and earthy hops. Taste is of black licorice nicely balanced consistent throughout with a sweet yet slightly bitter. Only lacking in mouthfeel but it is a lager not a thicker ale. A good session brew tasty. Would seek out again.

22 ounce bottle into lager glass; October notched, no year (probably 2011). Pours fairly clear very dark brown color with a small fairly dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass; with plenty of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of roasted malt, dark chocolate, caramel, toast, coffee, dark bread, floral, light pepper, and roasted earthiness; with some subtle pear and apple. Very nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark malt notes with hardly any yeast fruitiness surprisingly. Taste of dark chocolate, roasted malt, cocoa, caramel, toast, coffee, dark bread, floral, light pepper, light pear, apple, and roasted earthiness. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, roasted malt, cocoa, caramel, toast, dark bread, coffee, floral, light pear, apple, and roasted earthiness on the finish for a bit. Very nice balance and robustness of roasted flavors; with good complexity and zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy, smooth, and crisp mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with almost zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice schwarzbier! Great balance and robustness of roasted flavors with minimal yeast esters; and very smooth to drink. A very enjoyably offering.

Very dark ruby brown color with a big frothy head in the tall Belgian glass. Pleasantly sudsy on the tongue. Light mouthfeel. Modest aroma of roasted malt with that nice beery whiff.
Warm and malty with the edge of charred grain. Less burnt flavors and more of a dark roast. This has a toasted, slightly nutty flavor that is much more interesting than the usual Schwarzbiers. Just the right burr of hoppy bitterness at the finish. Light body but quite frothy.
This is a pretty good example of the style. I think it's a style that is deceptively simple and not often brewed well. This has the right balance of dark shades with the malty sweet note and plenty of sudsy mouthfeel. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at the Fish Tale brewpub in Everett.

3.1/5 rDev -10.9%
Appearance: Relatively clear dark brown that looks almost black until held to light. Creamy dark tan head drops to a small cap and creamy collar with slight lacing. Moderate carbonation.
Smell: Nice roasted malt with some very slight burnt edges. Cooked and caramelized in moderation. Some nice chocolate and cocoa. Hops offer some slight citrus and floral elements. Grassy with a ton of roasted barley. Building cocoa and slight bitter dark chocolate as it warms. Clean yeast profile. Slight fruity sweetness, in a vague way.
Taste: Slight malt sweetness. A nice roasted malt as well. Blends of dark chocolate, cocoa, and some sweeter almost milk chocolate. Some backing grassy elements and a bit of lingering yeast. Hints of slightly burnt malt. A touch of citrus with a mildly herbal/floral hop finish. Warming pushes out some of the roasted elements, letting the cocoa come out a bit more. Finishes a bit bright, almost like an apple or pear.
Mouthfeel: Medium body and moderate carbonation. A bit bubbly and clean.
Overall: Insert Space balls reference.
A decent take. Less sweet than other iterations of the style which is a plus. Loses a little as it warms, but it's good.

22oz bomber into New Belgium globe
Dark as a moonless night. Looks like a deep, dark, endless brown rather than jet black, but it isn't easy to tell because the beer is completely opaque. No light through and no light reflected. This lager absorbs all light. The head was not quite an inch of latte-colored foam; it didn't last the amount of time it took me to type about the appearance.
Even though Bakke Hill Black is a lager, it smells similar to some winter warmer ales. Caramel and toffee malts are accompanied by more grassy hops than I would expect based on appearance and style. It's a clean-smelling beer, with some fragrant yeast in the aroma. The bitterness come from hops more so than roasted malts (other than a little bit of coffee taste), which is in line with the schwarzbier style but still seems a contradiction given the color of this beer. Very refreshing taste while still holding its own as a winter beer.
The carbonation is not strong, which is typical for a winter variety, though I would prefer some more carbonation and body to balance out the lightness of this dark lager. No stickiness; perhaps a little too thin.
Great beer for those winter nights when 8% alcohol would be too much. Also an elegant deviation from porters and stouts.

pours black, looks good for the style, but a bit lacking in structure/head
smell is really nice, all roasty malts, straight up cocoa and coffee with a very nice overall smoke that is present but not overwhelming
taste is good for the style, simple but a little spicy and bitter from the roasted malts - very drinkable and light, mouthfeel is probably right for the style but a little thin.
overall a good example of the style but nothing outstanding

Appearance: Pours a dark brown, near black body with a Whopper-interior, sudsy head.
Smell: Modest accounts of chalkiness and roast, with increasingly lighter notes of chocolate, yeast, and herb.
Taste: Lightly ashen, chalky roastiness. Slight sweetness. The merest hint of chocolate. Quick herbal hops, lightly bitter. Thins out tremendously, both in body and flavor, approaching the finish, making for a very bland end to the beer.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-light carbonation.
Overall: The two previous Leavenworth beers were embarrassingly dismal, so expectations were set very low. Expectations: met. I want 2013 to be the year Leavenworth Beers gets something right. C'mon, guys. 354 days to go. You GOT THIS!

Really great video content was just released by the TED conference. I've never been to this conference, but it has a huge reputation and if you look at the speakers you'll see why. Hans Rosling, for instance, has an amazing data visualization talk. Tony Robbins is the world's leading motivational speaker. I'm watching his talk right now. And those are just the first two I've watched.
I was just emailing with Tom Rielly who worked on this project. He said they reedited each talk using the feeds of all five cameras. They discovered that they needed a different editing style for small format video than if you are going to watch this on a huge screen. They also made it available to everyone in all formats, QT, Flash, Google Video, audio podcast on their site, iTunes, and others including on Podzinger.
He thanked BMW which, he says, gave them HUGE support (his emphasis, not mine). He says it was probably the largest underwriting of any podcast series ever.
Oh, and they put everything into Creative Commons. You can republish the talks on your own site!!! He specifically thanked June Cohen and Jason Wishnow, TED producer and editor.
This is awesome content. They dramatically raised the bar we'll all need to meet with Internet video.

The Giants announced they have cut MLB Antonio Pierce, after Pierce told the Newark Star-Ledger by e-mail of the move earlier on Thursday.
Pierce, 31, had been the instinctive, emotional leader of the Giants' defense the past five years. But he suffered a season-ending neck injury and was due $4.75 million next season, which made his release a foregone conclusion.
The bulging disc caused Pierce to miss the final seven games and could threaten his ability to start next season healthy. There even has been talk that it might be a career-threatening injury.
"A.P. came right in and took the bull by the horns from day one and was very instrumental in helping the New York Giants win a lot of games and accomplishing a lot of our goals during his time here," Giants GM Jerry Reese said. "He has been an outstanding Giant and we wish him nothing but the best for his family and future."
Despite the concern, Pierce sent an upbeat message to the newspaper.
"I'm doing great, feeling great," Pierce wrote in the e-mail. "Looking forward to endless possibilities. Loved every moment as a NY GIANT."
The Giants now have a gaping hole in their defense, which allowed the third-most points in the NFL last season. The team turned to Jonathan Goff in Pierce's place, but by no means is Goff considered a sure thing to be the long-term solution.
Prior to this season, Pierce had missed only four regular-season games with the Giants since leaving the Redskins via free agency in 2005. His strong play helped the Giants beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.
"When we brought him in here we were interested in A.P. for all of the dimensions he brought to the table — his leadership qualities, his natural charismatic ability to rally the troops, he loved football, he's a very smart football player — he took great pride in studying the tape and knowing what everybody did on defense," Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said.
"He had the ability to communicate assignments on defense as the leader in the huddle. He was a three-time elected captain here with the New York Giants. He demonstrated great leadership. He has been an outstanding football player. Think of the screen play against Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game and the tremendous play that he made. Had he not made that play who knows where that ball would have gone?
"He has worn that Giant uniform very, very proudly."

Sensing Change
May 22, 2014
Unless you are a politician talking about the national debt, one trillion is a big number. It certainly is big when it applies to electronics devices—no category comes close to that today. Even popular smartphones are expected to "only" total 1.2 billion units this year. Yet, one trillion is the number of sensors experts say will be part of the Internet of Things (IoT) by 2022. One way to get there is a simple extension of what we see today. A dozen sensors in every phone and dozens in every car—pretty soon you are talking real numbers. The more interesting and radical addition is the "sensory...
Crowdfunding Unfolding
May 22, 2014
Crowdfunding is disrupting the relationship between entrepreneurs, the money raising ecosystem and investors. Kickstarter, Indiegogo and other sites are helping innovators to build businesses and leverage funding with more than 200 online crowdfunding platforms in the U.S. alone. Evidence is mounting that crowdfunding is starting to impinge on the seed turf of angel investors. Venture capitalists (VC) are no longer immune from the effects of crowdfunding, as deal making within a crowd context is leveling the playing field with terms that are more favorable to entrepreneurs. This is especially true on the East Coast where words ...

Let's Collaborate
April 02, 2014
This year it was clear that one of the real values of the 2014 International CES is its role as an important venue for collaboration across companies and industries, and that this is a new way of doing business. Historically, collaborations at CES tend to be about bilateral company deals such as large OEMs selecting a particular chip or software program within the traditional CE ecosystem. Often, press releases by smaller companies tout their alliances with a major CE company. While that's still an important aspect, we are now seeing a shift towards inter-industry collaboration...
A Divided Nation
April 01, 2014
Growing up, I remember the events that united us, some tragic, some wonderful: The Kennedy and King assassinations, the first footsteps on the moon, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Challenger disaster and 9/11. As one, Americans either grieved or celebrated. Even our divisions, on civil rights and on the Vietnam War, were thoughtful and the minority thinking soon gathered followers to become the majority. Now few Americans would consider turning back the clock on discrimination or sending our troops back to Vietnam. Today feels different. Not since the Civil War has our nation been so divided. Maybe it...

ISP - Internet service provider
Short for Internet Service Provider, it refers to a company that provides Internet services, including personal and business access to the Internet. For a monthly fee, the service provider usually provides a software package, username, password and access phone number. Equipped with a modem, you can then log on to the Internet and browse the World Wide Web and USENET, and send and receive e-mail. For broadband access you typically receive the broadband modem hardware or pay a monthly fee for this equipment that is added to your ISP account billing.
In addition to serving individuals, ISPs also serve large companies, providing a direct connection from the company's networks to the Internet. ISPs themselves are connected to one another through Network Access Points (NAPs). ISPs may also be called IAPs (Internet Access Providers).
