With the recent departure of Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul from the reality television show X Factor, we've really been thinking about recruiting some new judges for the X Factor. So has everyone else, apparently — as the entertainment news world seems to be focused right now on making fantasy picks. Who would your fantasy picks be to judge the music competition? Mariah Carey? Beyonce Knowles? Or perhaps someone older and wiser who has already enjoyed a long and profitable career in the music business? Perhaps one of the hard rocking women from the Baby Boomer generation? Here's a few of our suggestions…
Looks like everybody is getting into the act of making suggestions about who to hire as X Factor judges to show creator Simon Cowell. Billboard is offering their suggestions for their Picks to Replace Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. The Billboard suggestions list is full of pop divas like Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, and Fergie. Other websites that report on reality television news are saying they hope he hires Beyonce Knowles or Madonna. But Mariah Carey's name is the one that comes up more often in conversations, and her name is on the Billboard list as well.
The new celebrity mom of twins Roc and Roe is settling in to the motherhood role. Her husband Nick Cannon says if his wife Maria Carey is planning to work on X Factor, he does not know anything about it. As emotionally protective as he is of her, but it is hard to imaging him encouraging her to take a job where she has to work for Simon Cowell, the known terror. She's be great on American Idol, but not on his show. For that reason, even if he has offered her a ton of money to appear (with rumor mills reporting Cowell has given her well into six and even seven figures), it's not likely she'll be willing to take so much time away from her babies and husband to work for him.
While we think Mariah is a sweet lady who would make a great judge (since many of the contestants would most likely be auditioning while singing her songs), we think it's time to break the mold of the pop diva judge.
With the recent antics of Steven Tyler, we're really convinced that Steven Tyler on American Idol has set the stage for what America wants, a crazy hard rocker from the baby boomer generation. And with the departure of two female judges, it only stands to reason that the replacement needs to be a woman.
Grace Slick is one rock star who might fill the bill of being an X Factor judge. She is rock and roll royalty as one of the very first true hard rocking women. Unlike American Idol judge Steven Tyler, who at a spry 61 years old and still rocking, Grace Slick is 72, and has not been active in the music business lately. To that end, she may be able to mentor the contestants in a gentle way like Carey could have while encouraging a work ethic that will give these kids a lifelong advantage in the music biz that they could carry through to retirement.
But, hiring Grace Slick would have a disadvantage, as her music tastes are likely to be dated. Finding a judge who listens to new music as well as being someone who helped create the classics will most likely make or break them as a reality television competition critic. To that end, everyone is starting to turn their attention to suggesting Simon Cowell be courting slightly younger (but still hard rocking) women.
What about two women from the same family? How about sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson from the great American rock band Heart?
Heart rose to fame in the mid 1970s with music influenced by hard rock and heavy metal as well as folk music. Ann Wilson is 61, the same age as Steven Tyler, and sister Nancy is 57.
To date, Heart has sold over 30 million records worldwide. Heart has achieved Top 10 albums on the Billboard charts in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2010s with chart singles in each decade. This span of over four decades places them among the most commercially enduring hard rock acts of all time.
Their first Billboard single was "Crazy on You" in 1976. They are probably best known for their 1977 hit song Barracuda.
Besides being two of the most successful female rock stars of the baby boomer generation, Ann and Nancy Wilson are great role models for any generation. Nancy and Ann and Nancy Wilson have done charity concerts for the Canary Foundation a non-profit organization dedicated to cancer research. In 2010 they took part in We Are the World 25 for Haiti a charity single recorded by the super group Artists for Haiti. Earlier this year Ann's personal gold record from 80′ "HEART" album release was auctioned for charity. Coming up in February they plan to play a benefit for Cal State Fullerton to raise funds for academic enrichment and student scholarships.
We're not sure if they're interested in becoming X Factor judges, but they would sure add a mega-dose of creditability to the panel. The Wilson sisters are a credit to the world of rock and roll, and are outstanding citizens. And these ladies still rock!
Who would you like to see become a judge on X Factor now or in the coming years? Let readers know your fantasy picks in the comments section below.

CakePHP installation problem in new domain
Hi All,
I am using CakePHP for last 1 and half years and had no such problems until when I started moving my website to another domain. Here whenever I am trying to access files under 'webroot' folders, it says 'The website cannot display the page' with an HTTP internal server error. I have tried to access phpinfo file but
that also doesn't display and have same error. Anyone know what may be the issue with the server which is causing this error? Please suggest any change that is needed in server settings so I will suggest the server guys for that.
Thanks in advance.

Heartland college students are already working to secure college loans for the fall semester but as of right now the interest rates are twice what they were last month.
Lawmakers failed to reach a deal before their July Fourth break after floating several proposals to stop an interest rate hike on student loans.
The rates on subsidized government loans jumped from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. The increase doesn't apply to existing loans, only to new subsidized government loans.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agree the doubled rate is too high, but haven't been able to reach an agreement on how to lower the rates.
"We can get back on track on this and we will when we return in July," said Democratic Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois.
"I think we'll have a bi-partisan solution to that coming up," said Republican Senator Mark Kirk of Illinois. "That's something several senators are working on."
If lawmakers don't act, the rate hike will add thousands of dollars to the cost of a college education for people like Tori Bowden, a Southeast Missouri State University student working at KFVS to pay her way through school.
"It doesn't affect me directly right now, because I'm not paying them back right now," Bowden said. "But when I do finally graduate and get out into the real world, I want to be able to start getting more successful and move up hopefully in whatever career I'm in. Just knowing more and more of that money's going to interest, it's just discouraging."
Lawmakers return to the capital Monday could schedule a vote as early as Wednesday on the issue.

Chose to make my own U2 tower proposal for my final design project. Im probably 2/3 the way there, alot of detail to add to my model.. and my plans and sections are basically at diagram stage so alot of work to do there yet also.
Anyway tower is 240m, slenderness ratio of 12:1 (very tall for dublin i know, but i have my reasons)... Integrated a pedestrian bridge into the design so the base of the tower is pretty much a landscape which is porous to the city... this bridge connects to the future pedestrianised street of the point village. Most floors are apartments with u2 studios and terrace at the top. Oh yea, the design came from my studies of tall buildings and the wind phenomen associated with them.... observations of vortices etc thru simulations... So, in simple terms, and without going in depth to my approach, the external structure was to resemble a vortex which sweeps and twists the building footprint into the sky. Critique away
Perpective and end elevation
View from above of its current state - including bridge
Intersecting/twisting elliptical floor plates + primary external structure only
Simple diagram of whats happening with floor plates in image above
Old concept model
Obviously, as i have said... alot of work to do regarding the facade, structure!!!, plans, sections, but im working to an august deadline. Comments on the final form? I'll post plans as i get thru them

MARION COUNTY, TN (WRCB-TV) -- "Somebody's got to handle this situation because the people of Egypt Hollow--we're tired of it," exclaims Deborah Kennedy.
She's tired of the mudslides every time it rains in her small Marion County community near the city of Whiteside. She says it all started around a year ago when a logging company did work on a nearby mountain for a few months.
"The logging company done it. They've messed up the land up here. They cut all the timber off," says Kennedy.
Egypt Hollow sits at the foot of the mountain. Mud and rocks slide onto the roads, and culverts clog. Kennedy also worries about the well water.
"I'm kind of getting a little bit worried now," states Kennedy. "Church's well's messed up. Brother-in-law's well's messed up. And my sister's well's fixing to get messed up with all this mud." The area doesn't receive city water.
Kennedy hasn't been able to get the logging company to dig a ditch at the top of the hill or do anything to fix the problem permanently. She called the Environmental Protection Agency who in turn sent an official from the Tennessee Department of Forestry. According to Kennedy the official didn't inspect the mountain, only Egypt Hollow. She also says the official lays blame on people riding four-wheelers on the mountain.
"Their big trucks done it and their equipment done it," claims Kennedy. She has a picture of one of the trucks.
Neighbors also say traveling in and out of the area has become treacherous.
"We had to go over on the highway when they were logging and pick up school kids because the bus couldn't get in here," says Bennett.
The county road department clears as much of the mud as possible after each rain. Road superintendent Neil Webb sympathizes with the community but says there's not much more he can do.
"All I can maintain is what's on that right-of-way," explains Webb. "I can't go back on the back of the mountain and fix something someone else messed up."
Webb says the community's only course of action may be to sue the logging company. In the meantime, he says he'll visit the area to see if there's anything else the county can do to help.
Kennedy has started a petition to take to the county mayor in hopes of reaching a resolution. She's still collecting signatures. The logging company couldn't be reached today for comment.

Peer-to-peer cloud storage vendor Symform announced it is offering unlimited online capacity to customers who pay by contributing local disk capacity instead of money. Symform uses a crowd-sourcing strategy to create a virtual pool of capacity through the use of peer-to-peer technology.
In 2009, when Symform launched its Cooperative Storage Cloud service, it sold mainly to resellers, who paid $15 a month for unlimited capacity and could then offer that pool of capacity to customers as an off-site disaster recovery backup service.
[ To control your storage requirements, start by eliminating data redundancy. InfoWorld lays it all out in our Deep Dive Report on Data Deduplication. | Find out which storage server prevails in Test Center's NAS shoot-out. | Keep up with the latest approaches to managing information overload and compliance in InfoWorld's Enterprise Data Explosion newsletter. ]
Symform's new cloud storage model is targeted to small office and home office users as well as small- and medium-sized businesses. And it's asking those business to contribute their storage capacity at a 2:1 ratio in order to receive the service. That means a user must contribute 2GB of space for every 1GB used.
Users can also simply pay for needed capacity through three service level plans. Symform's professional plan costs $14.99 per month for 300GB of capacity with phone support during business hours; its business plan costs $49.99 for 1TB of capacity for up to two users with priority phone and email support; and a Premier Plan costs $199.99 for 4TB of capacity for up to five users with 24-hour phone and email support seven days a week.
The service plans can also apply to users who choose to contribute storage capacity to the pool instead of paying. For example, the Premier Plan requires users to contribute at least 4TB of capacity to the universal pool. Alternatively, customers can pay 15 cents per gigabyte per month for Symform's cloud backup service. So if they're already contributing 1TB of capacity and they are using more than 500GB of the universal pool (based on Symform's 2:1 ratio) they are charged 15 cents for each gigabyte over and above that 500GB.
The concept of a distributed and disparate storage cloud is not new. More than a decade ago, for example, the University of California's OceanStore project was based on the concept that information could be broken down into many parts, assigned a unique metadata identification tag, encrypted and then randomly stored on systems throughout the world. MIT has a similar project, called Chord, in beta. Symform's cloud storage technology model is similar.
What's different about Symform's concept is the business model -- using small and midsize companies' spare capacity to keep costs down while offering a disparate, yet cooperative, data storage cloud.

Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik addressed several topics with PewterReport.com and the local media on Wednesday at the 2011 Senior Bowl. The following is a Q&A of the entire interview.
Opening statement on what the Bucs have been doing at the 2011 Senior Bowl:
"We're still finalizing our staff. That's been a big part of the last couple of weeks – getting the staff completed. We've conducted a lot of interviews here at the Senior Bowl and I would like to think that by the end of next week we would have a pretty good feel about our last two hires. Right now we're down to defensive line and we're focused on that with all of the interviews we've had going on."
Will you hire an assistant defensive line coach?
"Maybe. We might. We are considering a defensive line coach, two defensive line coaches, or maybe just one defensive line coach and a quality control coach. We're looking at three different options. We've interviewed a lot of different types of candidates. It's an important decision, obviously. Bucs fans concur that the defensive line does an important job and we need to fill it with the best candidate, so we're taking our time and making sure we do it right."
What type of specific attributes are you looking for at that position?
"Energetic. I think it would be fair of Coach [Raheem Morris] to say he's looking for a guy that's a good thinker that has a rush plan – guys that can come up with rush plans and how to attack teams. [We want] a guy that is not just going to do our system, but a guy that is going to make our system better and what he can bring from a knowledge standpoint and a teaching standpoint. Teaching comes back to it – the teaching and the fundamentals, the basics, the get-offs – and it is what makes Tampa's defense what it has been. We're going to focus on all of those things."
After not selecting a defensive end last year, how good is this class of defensive ends now as you start to break it down?
"Before we go into any draft, we talk to our scouts. We just talk about if we're going to do it this year and what it looks like in 2012. What's going to be the strengths and weaknesses? So that way you can take advantage of the draft like you are supposed to. Last year, we did. We thought that this class was going to have really strong defensive ends. As you see the names and as you see them out here practicing, and you hear about the juniors coming out you'll see that it's a heck of a group. I don't know how many are going to go in the first round, but it's going to be a good number. There's a lot of work to do, but there are other positions that we feel like we can upgrade at. We could always use more depth."
Is linebacker a position that you would like to upgrade?
"It's hard to say until free agency is completed. We have Quincy Black, Adam Hayward, and Niko Koutouvides all of whom are unrestricted free agents. Those all play into it. The thing I love about these young linebackers is that they are going to come in here and they're going to impact special teams, just like Dekoda Watson did this year. He was one of our best special teamers, while he developed as a linebacker. That was important to us."
When you look at the Super Bowl matchup between Green Bay and Pittsburgh, there are two great quarterbacks and two great defenses. Is it time that you turn your attention to defense?
"I think it started last year. I think we're already underway. I'm comfortable where we're at with Cody Grimm and E.J. Biggers really devolping. Myron Lewis got more work. We'd like to see the defensive tackles play more than they did because of injuries. When I look at the super bowl, I look at the two quarterbacks to start with. That's why our entire team is excited about what is going on in Tampa. Certainly the old model of "defense wins championships" I still have a hard time believing that that's not the truth."
When you took over, you started to go with a youth movement. Is age still a major factor when signing and re-signing players?
"We're not discriminating against age on our football team. We'll look at what they do. That's why Ronde Barber is still playing. We look at the tape and that's going to tell us who is going to stay and who is going to go. It's all about building the right chemistry and the right team."
Where do you think this defense is in the rebuilding process?
"We have a lot of new working pieces right now on defense that are developing their ability as well. I think the early days in 1995 when I was watching [Warren] Sapp and [Derrick] Brooks out there playing, fans weren't sure what we had back then. The difference is that we attacked our offense this year. We started out with the attacking offense. It's always hard to not to want to give more poise and tools to Josh Freeman. It's important to keep him consistent and to keep him upright. From a defensive standpoint, I think we're just in an early phase. But the thing that's been important to us is continuity and the transition for our defense. A lot of guys got to get a lot of experience particularly on that side of the ball. You talk about [Aqib] Talib going down, Brian Price going down, Quincy Black going down, and Gerald McCoy going down. There was a lot of experience spread around."
How are the players progressing with injuries so far this offseason?
"Everyone's actually doing really well from a health standpoint. Arrelious Benn had his surgery, and you guys know what he's made of. I've been really encouraged by what Todd Toriscelli has told me about the progression the guys are making right now. Hopefully those guys can participate as much as they can."
Will injured players such as Aqib Talib and Brian Price be ready to practice after the draft?
"I would think so. As far as I can tell, it looks like most of them are right on track. The only one [that might not be ready] is the guy that had the worst injury, Rejus Benn. Arrelious is probably the guy that has a little bit farther to go just because his injury was right at the end of the season and it was an ACL, but because of his work ethic and the surgery being successful, he should be good."
Will the Bucs be forced to spend money to reach the salary cap floor once a new CBA is agreed upon?
"I don't think we would be forced to. Is there a concern? No, I wouldn't say that. Without knowing what [the salary cap floor] is until it's negotiated, it can be up or it can be lower than what it was prior, it's really hard to say. We're going to continue the model that we had going forward at the end of the day and maybe one or two years we're going to be sitting here hopefully and asking about contract extensions on a lot of guys on our football team that we like. We've got to make sure that we budget for those accordingly too."
What is the team doing internally to try to reduce off-the-field issues with players?
"We do a lot with our player programs. We talk to them a lot about how to be a pro and what it's like to be a pro. We've done a lot of internal things that I think are helpful. Certainly it was disappointing that we had arrests and we had guys that got pulled over because of a driving infraction like an invalidated driver's license. We're really working hard with our director of security in making sure that he checks all that stuff and sees that guys are driving around with valid driver's licenses and making sure that even those kinds of arrests don't occur. All of those things are important. Really what we talk to them about is what it's like to be a pro and what that means to your career if something happens and how that actually plays out. I'm hopeful that there's not a repeat [offense]. We try to address each one accordingly to what it was and that's how we handle it."
Do the Bucs have a plan for Tanard Jackson?
"No, we're not allowed to talk to him so I can't have a plan for him. I just hope he's doing good and we'll find out if the league re-instates him."
Did the league give any indication to the Bucs on when Jackson will be re-instated?
"I haven't had any discussions with the league office about that. I believe [he is eligible to return to the team] one year from the day he was suspended, but I haven't talked to them at all. Re-instatement is handled by the league office. I don't get into it."
Will the Bucs consider using the franchise tag this offseason?
"It's an option that we believe still exists, but until it actually does [because the CBA is not settled yet], it's an option that we certainly understand that we have and that if we have to or feel like it's necessary or warranted, we will use it."
Does the team have a plan in place if a new CBA is settled just before the season starts and the players don't have a lot of time to prepare for the season?
"I think that's where it goes back to the continuity that we talked about right after the season was over. Having the same offensive philosophy and the same defensive philosophy is a big part of that so [the players] are on the same page and they've been though a year and a half of [those systems]. That's what's been most important to us and that's how we've really been focused on making sure that our continuity and that philosophy stays with all of the players that played in it and because we had so much experience last year, I think that gives us an extra advantage. I think we have young guys that stay in great shape and stay healthy. All those things work to our favor."
Has there been an effort from the coaching staff and trainers to provide players with homework just in case?
"We have our own plan mapped out and I'm sure every club does, but I don't think any club wants to tell everybody what they plan on doing or how they're going to do it."
Talk about Greg Olson's improvement as coordinator from last year and the continuity on offense with the players he's had to work with.
"I think for Olson, the frustration or difficult part for him was the way that he got put in the position that I put him in. Once we made that decision, he didn't have enough of a time frame, so certainly I think you saw some of the fruits of the labor of an offseason that provided for the Bucs. We had young players really step up and play good so it's a good combination and it's a good system that's working well and has players fitting into it that are talented. I think we saw the beginning of what the production can be and that's exciting. What Josh Freeman did last year was a very special season. It's a shame it didn't get us further."
Talk about Shelton Quarles' promotion to Coordinator of Pro Scouting on a one-year contract
"I certainly promoted Shelton because of the job he's done and the leadership that he's shown within the pro department, so I thought he earned that right to be promoted. It's the same path that I followed and in my career in Tampa. I was probably on a lot of one-year deals. That's how it works so I wouldn't read anything into that fact other than he's doing a great job and we're happy he's a Buc."
Does the fact that Quarles is a product of your pro department give him a certain perspective and help him do his job?
"It does because how he got his chance and where he got to go and then how he got back and how he's took advantage of it. He's done a great job with that and he's just like everybody else in our building. He's on the same page fundamentally and shares our philosophy on how we want to build the Bucs. Because he was part of that train, it's easy for him to push guys and find guys that want to work that way because that's how it worked for him."
How do you know whether a former player like Quarles has the tools to do a job like that?
"It doesn't start with evaluation for me right away. It starts with work ethic and their commitment. There's a big difference between playing the game, coaching the game, and scouting the game. There are a lot of time constraints and a lot of time spent away from your family and a lot of sacrifices you make. You want to see if that person has the ability to put it in. We've had guys in this building that haven't. The first trait you look at is intelligence and what their chemistry is because you're going to be with them every day. Quarles is a guy that I have long-term chemistry with, but also knew that he had good office dynamics because of how much time we spend together."

Anderson's Trey Boyd, Pendleton Heights' Brogan Gary and Lapel's Tanner Watkins are part of Hoosier Basketball Magazine's top 100 senior boys basketball players as released by publisher Garry Donna on Monday.

Somebody already mentioned this in the Milwaukee Game Recap. This means that George Karl won't be back with the team until April at the earliest. He definitely needs the rest, but the team doesn't seem as secure at the end of games without him.
If you scroll to the bottom of the article, there's a little tidbit about the "snowstorm" in OKC screwing up the Nuggets' schedule plan. However, after they get there, they will still have a good deal of time to prepare for the 11:00 AM game, so it isn't much of a deal.

Residents in Putney are excited to see a new grocery store in their community after two nearby stores recently closed.
The owners of Mike's Country Store opened its newest location on US 19 on Friday.
We spoke with the owners and they say the store opened at a good time as Winn-Dixie recently closed the East Albany and Camilla locations.
Now they say community members have a new place to shop without traveling far.
"We're getting a great response from the customers. They're glad to see us. Some people have been here 30 years and have been waiting somewhere to come locally and shop instead of having to drive so far," said store owner Mike Rogers.
This is the Second Mike's Country store in South Georgia. The original is on Philema Road in Lee County.

An Olathe mother is trying to make something good of her daughter's death by sending a message.
Charlie Hendricks gathered friends and family Friday night to remember her daughter and announce the start of an organization aimed at educating people about the dangers of texting and driving.
Her daughter, 25-year-old Tamiqua Hendricks, rolled her SUV on Interstate 35 just north of Gardner, KS, last summer and died. She was not wearing her seat belt.
"There are things you can do to stop this disaster," Charlie Hendricks told the crowd. "If your cell phone rings, let it ring."
Remarks from friends and family were punctuated with the phrase, "Shut it down." It's the name if the organization she founded. The Urban Dictionary defines the phrase as meaning "to end a situation of your making because it has gotten out of control." That's what she hopes to do to the distracted driving behavior that contributed to her daughter's death.
Family friend Reginald Barnes told the crowd, "Let's learn from past mistakes going forward so that we can become smarter y'all."
A start, he said, would be to simply spread the word from that gathering to others and hold them accountable.
"Just remind them nicely," he said. "'We said we weren't going to do that no more.' If everybody tells one person, you see how many people that's going to be at the end of this year. That many lives changed, saved, affected."
Tamiqua Hendricks left behind a son, who is now 5 years old, and being cared for jointly by his father and her mother. The two are now sharing a home to make that happen.

Lake Erie College names Greg Stocks head men's lacrosse coach
Lake Erie College announces the hiring of Greg Stocks as the Storm head men's lacrosse coach. He will direct the program slated to compete as an intercollegiate sport in the spring of 2010.
"We were looking for an individual who could 'hit the ground running' in starting up our men's lacrosse program," said Lake Erie College director of athletics Griz Zimmermann. "Greg brings not only a wealth of experience in the sport of lacrosse, but his passion and enthusiasm are just what we need to provide a solid foundation for the new program."
Stocks is a 2006 graduate of Mercyhurst College with a bachelor's degree in business. Upon graduation he served as an assistant at Lycoming College where he was instrumental in the Warrior's offensive game planning. He also served as an assistant for one season at Division II No. 10 Wingate University where the Bulldogs went 11-4 overall and 3-1 in the Deep South Conference in 2007.
The native of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada played lacrosse at SUNY-Potsdam for two years and then at Mercyhurst for two years. As an attacker his senior season, the team won the East Coast Conference (ECC) and was a national semifinalist.
According to US Lacrosse, the sport's national governing body, lacrosse is one of the fastest growing team sports in the United States. Youth membership (ages 15 and under) in US Lacrosse has more than tripled since 1999 from 40,000 to more than 125,000. Throughout the past 10 years, no sport has grown faster at the high school level with an estimated 169,000 high school players.
Considered to be America's first sport, lacrosse is also the fastest-growing sport over the last five years at the NCAA level. More than 400 college club programs are in existence, the majority of which compete under the umbrella of US Lacrosse and its "intercollegiate associates" level.
"The College's athletic department has grown significantly throughout the past few years and we are pleased to add a sport that is one of the fastest growing sports in the country," said Zimmermann. "Adding men's lacrosse will add to our male enrollment which aides our ongoing quest for a better balance of men and women on campus."
Lacrosse will compete as a club sport in the spring of the 2008-09 academic year before earning varsity status the following year. It will give Lake Erie a total of 16 varsity teams.

Wingate & Finchley suffer 3-1 defeat against Metropolitan Police FC
1:55pm Monday 3rd December 2012 in Sport
Wingate & Finchley continue to search for their first win under Gary Meakin as the Blues suffered a 3-1 home defeat against Metropolitan Police FC.
Jordan Fowler's deflected strike off Murat Karagul put the hosts ahead inside ten minutes but the visitors hit back through Craig Brown and were unfortunate not to lead at the interval after Elliot Taylor's precise header was ruled out for offside.
However, Police controlled the second period and a rare mistake from Bobby Smith allowed Aaron Wickham's tame effort to hit the net.
Steve Sutherland grabbed a third for the visitors with 20 minutes remaining but Wingate could not fight back and the defeat means they have won just one of their last eight Ryman Premier League matches.

Quadruple Ginger Cookies
Patty Erd says the secret to this great cookie (left) is the layering of different ginger flavors: ground ginger, candied ginger, ginger juice and ginger sugar. The result is spicy, but delicious! If you love this spice, use the larger amount listed next to each seasoning.
Another unusual dessert is Spicy Brownies, from Spice House customer Alyx Kesselring of Evanston, Illinois. The combination of cinnamon, anise and cayenne pepper gives these brownies a Mexican flavor. The consistency is halfway between cakelike and fudgy.

Asian Coleslaw with Pork Satay
Spice House customers have enjoyed the special recipe for Asian Coleslaw (left). It complements Chinese Five-Spice Marinated Pork Satay, which uses Asian spice blends. This meal represents the cuisine of Chicago's Chinatown.
Sharing recipes
Tom and Patty Erd (left) took over the spice business in 1992 from Patty's parents. Just as they're happy to share recipes, they have customers who bring recipes to them. One favorite recipe is Clay's Colossal Chili, which won a national chili cook-off. "Chef Clay Erickson actually brought me a container of this chili at the store one Sunday afternoon, still warm," Patty says. "Tom was sick that day, so I took it home, and it was perfect for him."

OAS chief calls for more public/private partnerships in region
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Assistant Secretary General of the Organisation of American States (OAS), Albert Ramdin, today called for a new, more inclusive kind of governance in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Ramdin's position hinges on "better relationships between those who make policies and the private sector" to overcome challenges that, he said, could impede continued economic growth and a growing influence in the global economy.
Speaking to business executives from throughout the Americas at the annual meeting of the Association of American Chambers of Commerce in Latin America and the Caribbean (AACCLA), Ramdin highlighted that "low investment in human capital and infrastructure, and inequalities" continue to be key challenges to accelerating inclusive growth in Latin America and the Caribbean.
"We urgently need to create a culture of healthy public-private collaboration, where public and private sector leaders work together to tackle these impediments to growth and poverty reduction," he said.
Ambassador Ramdin highlighted that the region has a serious deficit in the area of innovation and education, and added that with prospects of slower growth rates, the region needs to improve productivity, infrastructure, and transport. In addition, he said, logistics accounts for an additional 18% to 35% of product value compared to just 8% in the OECD countries. "When you also add the costs associated with the current insecurity trend, businesses from the region are disadvantaged and less competitive compared to those in other parts of the world," said Ramdin.

You'd hate to say, in early September, that one loss on one particular day ended a team's season, because a baseball season is long, and full of twists and turns. And fortunately, today, I won't have to. But that's only because of the Cardinals' and Dodgers' failure to pull away from a sputtering Pirates team whose 4-3 loss against the Cubs tonight guarantees that it can win at best three games in two series against perhaps the worst teams in baseball. The Pirates had a great opportunity this week, particularly given the way the Cardinals have played, and they didn't take advantage of it.
The Pirates got off to a good start, at least. In the first, Brock Holt led off with a single, and Jeff Samardzija hit Andrew McCutchen. Garrett Jones then walked to load the bases, and Pedro Alvarez drove in two runners by reaching down to dump a single into right. James McDonald gave up a line-drive solo homer to Alfonso Soriano in the second, though, and the Cubs tied the game with a run-scoring double play in the third. Chicago then took the lead in the fifth when Tony Campana hit a ground-rule double, stole third (hey, against the Pirates, why not?), and came home on a sacrifice fly. McDonald left the game with two outs in the sixth, having given up three runs with two strikeouts and two walks.
The Pirates tied it in the seventh. Rod Barajas got to second after a throwing error by Starlin Castro. Josh Harrison, who'd come in to pinch-run, then scored when Jeff Clement hit a long single off the Clemente Wall. In the eighth, though, Jason Grilli allowed a single and a walk, and then made a mistake on a breaking ball to David DeJesus, who brought home the go-ahead run with a single to right. The Cubs left Samardzija, who would finish with nine strikeouts, to pitch the eighth and ninth, and the Pirates went down without much of a fight.

---- — Waste and fraud in government programs should be rooted out vigilantly.
Legislation should fix a problem with a fitting solution, not punish the needy.
Those two objectives must guide an Indiana General Assembly committee studying a proposal to require food stamp recipients to show a photo ID when they go to the grocery store. The idea, pushed by Republican state legislators, will be reviewed this summer and fall by a committee of lawmakers and could wind up as a bill during the Legislature's 2014 session. In their offseason study, Hoosier legislators should focus on facts, not exaggeration.
The commonly used term "food stamps" refers to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, created to keep poor people from going hungry. Today, a SNAP recipient is issued an electronic benefits card, similar to a bank debit card, and slides it through the checkout machine at a store. U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines currently require stores to treat SNAP recipients no differently than anyone else.
One of the primary reasons SNAP cardholders are handled equally goes to the heart of the program's intent — feeding kids. Food-stamp benefits are assigned to families, not individuals. Requiring a photo ID could prevent children in a SNAP family from buying needed groceries. Also, the head of their household — as is the case with many low-income folks — may not possess a state-issued photo ID.
So, why would Indiana legislators try to impose a photo-ID requirement for food stamps after fellow Republicans in a dozen other states failed to enact similar measures? Reports of fraud incidents in a vast federal program understandably aggravate taxpayers. Those illegalities include SNAP cards being trafficked for cash, drugs and guns. The government has a responsibility to track down and prosecute those offenders.
But the vast majority of families receiving SNAP assistance are not scamming the system; the fraudulent use of food stamps is rare and decreasing, according to the USDA, from 4 percent in 1998 to 1 percent today. The ranks of the recipients have indeed grown, from 28 million Americans five years ago to 48 million now. The numbers are up in Indiana, too, from 100,000 recipients 15 years ago to 925,000 in 2013, or 14 percent of Hoosiers.
There's a valid reason for that growth — the recession. Fifteen years ago, the U.S. economy was surging. By contrast, more people lost jobs after the recession hit in 2007 than at any time since the 1930s. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office affirmed the key cause of the increase in SNAP participants was the recession of 2007-09 and the economy's subsequent slow recovery. Twenty percent of the increase reflects a temporary rise in benefits triggered by the 2009 Recovery Act, which expires later this year. CBO projections call for SNAP's growth to slow in coming years.
In other states, retail merchants (who also benefit from SNAP purchases) opposed photo ID laws because of the extra work their employees would incur. Indiana stores undoubtedly would share those concerns. Beyond that logistical worry, the greater fear is that Indiana could impose a law — under the guise of fraud prevention — that would have the unintended consequence of making it harder for needy families to buy food.
— Tribune-Star, Terre Haute
THE ISSUE A proposal to require food stamp recipients to show a photo ID when they go to the grocery store. THEIR VIEW Legislation should fix the problem with waste and fraud, not punish the needy.

Several new eateries are experiencing early success in one south Georgia city.
Five new restaurants opened in Thomasville this month including a mega Olive Garden-Red Lobster Combination.
While the lines have been out the door for a few of these places, customers are not complaining.
"It's been very packed. Little Caesars has been very packed. And the Hibachi is good. It's a buffet so you can come in and you don't have to wait on your food or anything. And it is affordable," said Melvina Cason.
"It's convenient for us because we don't have to travel and it's cheaper on gas. So it's very worth it," said Jasmine Wiche.

The March issue of Tennis Magazine named Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center the No. 1 Tennis Center in the Carolinas and we couldn't be more thrilled! The magazine considers the quality of tennis instruction, number of courts and clinics provided in determining the rankings. They also take into account the lodging, dining and other amenities that are included with your tennis vacation.
Our 25 courts -- 23 clay and 2 Nova pro bounce , 7 of which are lighted for night play -- made it to the top spot beating out several resorts in North and South Carolina. Beyond the quality and number of courts, Tennis Magazine called out our wide variety of tennis lessons and clinics. From our Junior Programs, such as our Short Shorts Clinic, to our Daily Round Robins, we have lessons and programs for the whole family. Plus, last year, we added a shortened court for children's play to follow new tournament regulations.
Between February and November, our tennis center will play host to nine tournaments, bringing some amazing talent to Hilton Head Island.
Beyond all the courts, classes and tournaments here at Palmetto Dunes, we also offer two hours of free tennis court time daily to all our resort homes or villas guests, in addition to giving them the best deals on activities within the resort.
We're so proud of our wonderful tennis team and look forward to hosting you for the perfect Hilton Head tennis vacation at the best tennis resort in the Carolinas!Â

This time last year, Tunisian street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire, sparking a popular uprising in Tunisia that spread to countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa. The uprisings have come to be known throughout the world as the "Arab Spring" and have caused more change in one year than the region has seen in decades. For months, chants across the Middle East echoed, "The people want the downfall of the regime." Only a month after Tunisians ousted Tunisian President Zine el Abidine Ben Ali, it took the Egyptian people only 18 days to overthrow Hosni Mubarak after being in power for 30 years.
Shortly after the downfalls of Ben Ali and Mubarak, Libyans took up arms against Muammar Gaddafi. After ten months of violent battles that took the lives of thousands of civilians, Libyan revolutionaries claimed victory when Gaddafi was killed in his hometown of Sirte.
Protestors in Yemen hope to turn a new page after months of bloody crackdowns as embattled ruler Ali Abudllah Saleh belatedly signed the Gulf-brokered deal that will transfer power in the country by early next year.
In Syria, anti-regime activists are unyielding in their ongoing fight against Bashar al-Assad. As the death toll has reached over 5,000 according to the UN, the international community is slowly boosting efforts to end the months-long bloody crackdown.
Protests and subsequent crackdowns have spread through Bahrain, Oman, Morocco, Jordan, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia but have received far less media attention.
In his article "From Tunis and Tahrir to Wall Street, and back again," UC Irvine Professor Mark Levine explains the common frustrations of people throughout the region. He states, "The lack of hope or possibility to find decent work, or overcome the corruption and repression there that defined life in [Sidi Bouzid, Bouazizi's hometown], was a microcosm of political and economic life in Tunisia under Zine Abidine Ben Ali, Egypt under Hosni Mubarak and most every other country in the region." Khoda, a Syrian housepainter turned insurgent, had a different view: "In Egypt, the revolution started because of poverty and hunger," he said. "In Libya it started because of misuse of power. In Syria, the main purpose of the revolution is to gain back our dignity and our honour."
As the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya are being hailed as successes by some, other observers aren't as optimistic that they will lead to the kinds of changes that protestors had hoped. Daniel Byman of the Washington Post predicts, "The Arab Spring may not bring freedom to much, or even most, of the Arab world. Even as the United States prepares to work with the region's new democracies, it also must prepare for the chaos, stagnation and misrule."
As we reach the one year mark of the start of the "Arab Spring," there are many lessons to be learned from the unparalleled and tumultuous revolutions that rocked the Middle East and North Africa in 2011. Mohamad Al-Ississ, a professor of economics at the American University of Cairo, says the fight is not over and that "this is the moment where we go forward or we go back to ground zero." Levine warns that "democracy is a means, not an end," pointing to our own Western system today that is "so dominated by money and power that inequality and corruption are reaching 'third world' levels."
Huguett Labelle, chair of Transparency International and author of "The keys to change across the Arab world," offers wise words of advice to the future leaders of the Arab world: "listen to the people, or risk being overtaken by them."

Intel Core i5-3470 Ivy Bridge Processor and HD 2500 Graphics Review
HD 4000 Processor Graphics and Quick Sync Performance
Obviously with the jump from HD 4000 to HD 2500 graphics on the Core i5-3470 desktop processor, we were curious to see how the new integrated graphics performs in real-world gaming. To test it, we pit the Core i7-3770K against the Core i5-3470 and also included a discrete graphics solution to mix things up. I chose to test these CPUs against AMD's Radeon HD 5570/6570 card that you can currently find on the market for $50-60.
I had some requests to include another discrete level card like the GTX 560 Ti in these graphs, but in truth, it skewed the results so heavily that it made seeing the performance differences between the HD 4000 and HD 2500 graphics pretty difficult.
Ouch, first indications are that that the HD 2500 is half the speed of the HD 4000 and even behind the HD 3000 from Intel's Sandy Bridge processors.
A similar story here in our Left 4 Dead 2 testing with the HD 2500 about half the speed of the HD 4000 found in the Core i7-3770K.
The same is seen here in Deus Ex: Human Revolution...
...and in DiRT 3.
Intel is actually being pretty honest with its marketing names on their processor graphic solutions. The HD 2500 found on the lower cost Ivy Bridge processors is indeed slower than the HD 3000 found in last generations Sandy Bridge CPUs. It is also producing about half the performance of the HD 4000 found in the higher end IVB options which always leads to the same question: why put the higher end graphics on a processor that will likely NOT use but instead add in a discrete solution? Intel obviously wants you to have to pay for that higher end graphics if you are going to utilize it, so keeping a price premium between the Core i5 and the Core i7 lineup is doing that nicely – though it really hurts the idea of the integrated graphics being a "value" for the consumer.
Quick Sync Performance
For our basic Quick Sync testing we used the latest version of Cyberlink's MediaShow Espresso to convert a 1.8GB 720p H.264 video file down to a more reasonable size for an iPod.
The results are pretty damn impressive:
The fixed function hardware used for the QuickSync operation is the same across the HD 2500 and HD 4000 graphics solutions so the Core i5-3470 performs just as well as the Core i7-3770K.
The most compelling use of the HD4000 graphics is in the mid to low end segment. OEM's may disagree but I think that Intel forgets that they can compete with AMD and Nvidia on the low end discreet GPU segment if they just put their best foot forward.
We are still waiting for their sub $200 chips. Now if they could just marry the great x86 performance with HD4000 (or better...).
If I had to guess, they won't pair their sub-$200 chips with the better HD400 graphics :(
That is a pretty good guess.
The decision to not do so makes me want to smash 300mm wafers over CEO's heads.
I don't understand, is it just me or do most review sites always give awards now days. To me the simple fact that the 2600K is still avalible for about the same price would make this a no-award product.
Quote : "Still, the Core i5-3470 would make a solid low cost processor for users looking to build a reasonable cost machine for some mainstream gaming and general enthusiast computing."
If I'm buying a cpu for mainstream gaming and general enthusiast computing I'm not buying a processor with a locked multiplier.
Love the site, keep it up!
Comparison to Ivy i5 3570k in benchmarks, wrap-up?
Why does Intel still sell HD2500 in their chips? Tired of Intel hashing up older GPU architecture just to satisfy price points.
Does this chip matter that much when the i5-3550 already exists? Very small differences between the two chips, and only a $5 difference on Newegg. (A promo right now actually makes the 3550 even cheaper).
I was excited when I first heard about this chip... but now I think it's just another unnecessary SKU.
Is the intel core i3 cpu& intel hd graphic suitable for cfd code in fortran?
what about fluent 6.3?
Eh man yo check it yo! I got this Intel stuff from Intel since I am a partner yo! And I can sale it at half price. I got i7's for $500 and Intel i5's for $400 and i3's for $350 yo! That's cheaper than you ever get it at old egg yo!

The Oakland Raiders fanbase is a bit of a long-suffering lot. Let's take a look at one of the more typical Raiders fans, as spotted at Monday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.
A short checklist, just to make sure all of the elements are present;
- At least two pieces of Raiders clothing
- Facepaint
- Not-necessarily-team-color facepaint
- Oakleys
- Shaking head in disbelief as a result of what happened on the field of play
- Visibly on the verge of tears about something the Raiders just did
- Quiver lip
I think this is an excellent baseline for Raiders fan visualization. We can refer to this gentleman as "Raiders Fan Zero." The contagion only spreads outward from here.
For the latest on the Dallas Cowboys, be sure to check out Blogging the Boys and SB Nation Dallas. For all things Oakland Raiders, check out Silver & Black Pride, as well as SB Nation Bay Area.

Lucky hopes for entrepreneur
11:00am Monday 26th November 2012 in News
A BEDROOM entrepreneur from Appleton is hoping his new venture will be lucky for him.
Leon Neill has launched an online business selling high-end clothing under his own brand Lucky West.
The 43-year-old was inspired on a road trip along the west coast of America by the 50s American retro style and the old neon lights of Las Vegas which proved to be the breeding ground for his clothing idea.
Leon said: "I work in the food industry but for the past two years at nights and weekends I have been working on my own company.
"I'm starting with men's T-shirts then when everything takes off I have already started the next range which will include polo shirts, sweatshirts and other items with a women's line later on.
"My demographic is 16 to 30 something men who would normally shop at places like Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollister."
And since the website went live four weeks ago his recognition is slowly building and he has even had a celebrity Twitter endorsement from TV chef Simon Rimmer.

Keyhole Route, Longs Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, COIn May 2006, BACKPACKER editors Jon Dorn and Kris Wagner made an early-season summit attempt on the highest peak (14,255 feet) in Rocky Mountain National Park. (Photos by Jonathan Dorn)
For a full route description, interactive map, and GPS downloads for this route, click here. Also, check out video of the route.
Map editor Kris Wagner records a waypoint shortly after sunrise at the junction of the Chasm Lake Trail, which heads left. At this point, we'd been hiking for a bit less than two hours after a 3:30 a.m. start.

Great pictures of our wonderful USA.

I'm a Fort Collins resident and have been up Longs Peak a couple of times, but this is the first time I've heard the term "Sidewalk" to describe any part of the Keyhole Route. Typically the section you call the "Sidewalk" is referred to as the Narrows. Great hike though, no matter the names.
— Chris
It is only 14 miles round trip. 6 from the TH to Boulder Field and then 1 more to the summit. Round Trip is 14miles.
