Hawks Injury Report: No reported issues although Johan Petro is still working his way back from a sore back
Clippers Injury Report: Chauncey Billups (Achilles), Grant Hill (Knee) and Trey Thompkins (Knee) are all out for Los Angeles.
Hawks player(s) to watch: Jeff Teague finished with 20 points and 11 assists in Friday's loss to the Miami Heat. On Sunday he matches up with Chris Paul who is the measuring stick for all point guards in the league. Paul is averaging 17.5 points and 10.7 assists through six games this season.
Clippers player(s) to watch: Jamal Crawford is averaging a team-best 21.8 points per game for the Clippers and the Hawks have to be ready whenever he checks into the game. Crawford has been red hot hitting 53 percent of his shots from the floor including 42 percent shooting from three-point range. Those percentages are unlikely to stay that high but Atlanta knows all to well the kinds of numbers Crawford can put up when he is going good.

I thought the hotel was very clean and welcoming. My room was not quite ready when I got there, and I came in early for a Music conference. Nonetheless, with 30 minutes I rececived a phone message assuring me that my room was ready. :)
My only concern was that on Sunday evening, I went out the front of the hotel and around the corner to find some dinner and there were several homeeless men asking for money. That was a little disconcerting as I was attending the conference alone.Overall, the Hilton was great. My room was very clean, as was the bathroom. One thing I would mention to them is that all during the conference, the session rooms were very chilly. Almost everyone had a sweater on because the AC was cold.

The size of the room and the furniture that was in the room. I wish I could have taken the bed and pillows home with me -- sitting up in bed, reading was a pleasure fit for a king!
I don't think there was a shower cap available (I forgot mine at home).My wife and I loved the free breakfast the following morning. The scrambled eggs, sausage and OJ were great. The staff at the front desk was wonderful. Even though the front-desk gal was new to the city, she worked hard and quickly to find the directions I needed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend an Ascend hotel, or look for one in another city for myself.

Staff is too easy to kick someone out. Takes one persons word over another and has no reasoning skills.I have stayed here before with a large group of people. This time just 6 of us hanging in the suite. We got noise complaints although we weren't loud. Finally got the cops called on us. The cops said they were suprised to see just a few people hanging out and not making much noise. They came down with us and tried to reason with the hotel but they took another rooms word over ours. So there we were getting kicked out of the hotel for casually talking at 2:30am forced to go to another hotel for the night and being told they were charging us for both nights. Even though this was the first night.

Really comfortable bed. Breakfast wasn't fabulous but was definitely acceptable.
Carpet in public spaces (hallways/elevators)was disgusting and stained. Heat was running in halls even in August.I think the grossness of the hallways sets you up to expect the worst when you enter the room. While the furniture was old and faded the room itself was fairly clean. But it seemed worse because of what you see before you enter. Somehow the cleaning staff had missed an old lasagna in the oven in our unit. While the night desk clerk didn't seem to care much the day desk person did and apologized profusely. The head of housekeeping was mortified and spent the rest of our stay checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. She is a gem. Only other note is that there were signs posted about repaving the parking lot and guests needing to get alternate parking info from the office for two specific dates.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A deep hole opened in the middle of a busy intersection just east of downtown Louisville Sunday afternoon.
According to MetroSafe, emergency crews responded to a hole in the intersection of Broadway and Hancock Street around 12:45 p.m. Employees of the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) blocked off the area as they surveyed what happened.
Steve Tedder with MSD said a 100-year-old brick sewer runs under Broadway and part of it collapsed where it meets with a 30-inch wide section of pipe running under Hancock. The sewer is about 8 feet in diameter.
Tedder estimates another few feet of asphalt and dirt add to the depth of the hole. However, it is not 30 feet deep as previously reported.
The westbound lanes of Broadway from Clay Street to Hancock Street are closed at this time. They will remain closed until repairs are completed, Tedder said.
MSD asks the public to avoid that area of Broadway through Monday to help prevent traffic issues.
Tedder does not have an estimate for how long repairs will take, but expects to get the bus lane open to traffic on Monday. Drivers on Hancock can cross Broadway.
Crews are working to determine how to repair the hole as they figure out how extensive the damage inside the sewer is.
Tedder said there are thousands of miles of pipes below the streets. "MSD tries to find defects and repair them before things like this happen," he added, but it's not always possible.

Nine proves fine for town team
10:40am Sunday 12th January 2014 in Sport
EVESHAM'S Callum Braathen, Harry Ward, Ben Harvey and Ashton Price competed for Worcester Gymnastics Club at the West Midlands Regional Championships.
The club, based at Stock Wood near Inkberrow, claimed nine medals in Birmingham as the boys crowned a fine year with 18 competing in the six-piece apparatus competition.
All the gymnasts started strongly with tidy routines which rewarded their hard work prior to the competition.
Harvey was second and Braathen finished third among three golds, two silvers and four bronzes across five age categories for the club.
For more details on the club, contact Jill Coathup on 01386-793205 or visit worcestergymnastics.co.

A Patchogue man is under arrest and facing charges of allegedly driving while ability impaired by drugs and leaving the scene of an accident following an eight-car crash that killed a west Islip man in Sayville Sunday evening.
According to Suffolk Police, Thomas Herman, 46, was driving a Chevrolet Trailblazer westbound on Main Street through Sayville at about 5:10 p.m. when he hit five vehicles. Police said Herman did not stop and than struck a westbound Honda Accord and an eastbound Hyundai Elantra as he attempted to drive between them on West Main Street.
The 82-year-old driver of the Elantra, Sam Longo of West Islip, was pronounced dead at the scene by a physician assistant from the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner, according to police.
Ann Gilbert, 79, of Oakdale, a passenger in the Elantra, was transported by Community Ambulance to Southside Hospital where she is being treated for neck and pelvic injuries, according to police, and is listed in critical but stable condition.
Sayville resident Robert Schutt, 49, who was driving the Honda Accord, was treated for minor injuries at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center and released, according to police.
Police said Herman was taken to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center for non-life-threatening neck, facial and internal injuries. Police stated more charges may be filed as this investigation continues.
All vehicles were impounded for safety checks. Detectives are asking anyone who may have witnessed the accident or any of the events leading up to this incident to call the Fifth Squad at 631-854-8552.

PLATTSBURGH — Clinton Community College will host one of 600 Manufacturing Day events being held nationwide on Friday.
The event is an attempt to address common misconceptions about manufacturing by giving companies an opportunity to show, in a collaborative effort with area partners, what it is and isn't.
Events are designed to address the skilled-labor shortage that U.S. manufacturers face by creating a forum for sharing their needs with students, parents and educators.
CITEC Business Solutions, one of 350 centers that work with small- and mid-sized manufacturers across the United States under the Department of Commerce's Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program, is one of the organizers of the three North Country events, set for Plattsburgh, Watertown and Potsdam.
CITEC Executive Director Bill Murray said it's an ideal time to shift the perception of manufacturing and showcase the career opportunities available.
The events are especially designed for middle- and high-school educators, guidance counselors, technology teachers, students and their parents.
"This day gives us a chance to share with young people, their parents and educators, to get them excited about pursuing a career in a technology-driven, innovative environment that will also provide a good-paying job," Murray added.
The Plattsburgh event starts at 8:30 a.m. at CCC's Stafford Center. It includes registration and a light breakfast, welcome and introductions, presentations on manufacturing's importance to the economy, an overview of the STEM Learning Network, a manufacturing panel roundtable, one-on-one discussions with manufacturers, lunch, a tour of a leading local manufacturers and a wrap-up of the day's events.
There is no cost to attend, but space is limited and preregistration is required by Tuesday.
To learn more about Manufacturing Day and register for one of the events in this area, visit www.mfgday.com or contact CITEC at (315) 268-3778, Ext. 23.

WASHINGTON (WXOW) - Along with the so-called "fiscal cliff" that Americans face if Congressional leaders and President Obama don't come to an agreement, there could also be a "dairy cliff" to fall off of.
Beginning January 1st you could be paying as much as seven dollars for a gallon of milk.
With all the concerns over the "fiscal cliff", several other legislative matters are falling by the wayside including a stalled Farm Bill. The Senate passed a new Farm Bill, the House has not.
Several protections for farmers have already expired, and several more are set to do so over the next few months.
One of them is the dairy subsidy, which ends January 1st. If Congress doesn't act before then, the U.S. would revert back to a 63-year-old dairy policy. That would force the government to buy milk at inflated prices, driving up the cost for everyone.

A new excuse for doing nothingNovember 20,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
With unrestrained glee, Republicans are using the calamitous debut of the Affordable Care Act as their latest justification for undermining all of health care reform. But theyre not stopping there.
The Obama administrations fumbling is apparently a good excuse for them to do nothing on immigration reform, on a budget agreement, and on any other initiative coming out of the White House.
We dont want a repeat of whats going on now with Obamacare, said Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, explaining last week why party leaders would not allow the Senates immigration bill to come to a vote, or even to be the subject of negotiations.
Their opportunistic theme is clear: If you cant trust President Barack Obama on this issue, how can you trust him on anything else? Unquestionably, the White House handed them this gift through two kinds of incompetence: the technical failure of the health-exchange website, and the political failure of the president in falsely promising that no one would lose an insurance policy they already had.
But just as these blunders are not the end of the health reform, they will also, in the end, not stop the long march to immigration reform, more jobs or desperately needed improvements to education, transportation and other fundamental functions. The House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, was right to urge Democrats on Sunday not to be knocked for a loop by the Republican feeding frenzy. Most people, she said on NBC News Meet the Press, still support progressive goals like guaranteed health insurance, a humane path to citizenship for immigrants, background checks for gun ownership and ending workplace discrimination.
Republicans want the country to believe that this months debacle shows the overall weakness of what Rep. Paul Ryan on Sunday called big government in practice. In fact, Americans have long been quite happy with big government programs, as long as they work. They dont like failure, and they hate being misled. But what people really care about is results, and once the health care website is working, millions will realize that what they are being fed by Republicans is largely bunk.
Millions of Americans will pay less next year for health insurance, or get it for the first time, because they will be eligible for the big government program known as Medicaid. Half of those who buy policies on the individual market will qualify for subsidies; they will get as good or better coverage than they had. And millions of people whose policies have been canceled or denied because of illness will now be insured.
What is the Republican alternative to this government program, flawed as it is right now? There is none. Party members simply want to repeal the health law and let insurers go back to canceling policies at the first sign of a shadow on an X-ray. They have no immigration policy of their own. They have no plan that will stimulate job growth. They are in favor only of shutdowns and sequesters and repeals, giving the public no reason to believe they have a governing vision or even a legislative agenda.
Over time, that will prove to be a far more serious failure than momentary incompetence. Democrats may be stumbling right now, but at least they are trying.MORE IN CommentaryFrançois Hollande, the president of France since 2012, coulda been a contender.

Over the past decade, there have been significant expansions in policies that support low-income working families, such as refundable tax credits, health insurance, child support enforcement, child care subsidies, and nutritional supports. These programs help hard working families who struggle to meet basic needs due to low wages, irregular hours and lack of benefits. However, this safety net is incomplete. CLASP advocates for improvements in individual programs and in the service delivery system to help ensure low-income families have the support they need to stay employed and provide for their families.
Education Tax Credits Bill Takes a Partisan Turn on Way to House Floor
This week, the House of Representatives is expected to take up H.R. 3393, the Student and Family Tax Simplification Act. When this bill was introduced last fall by Reps. Diane Black (R-TN) and Danny Davis (D-IL) , CLASP along with our partners in the Higher Education Tax Reform Consortium had applauded it as an important step forward in simplifying the multiple tax benefits that support higher education and in making these credits more useful to low-income students.
In particular, the bill includes a number of provisions consistent with the Consortium's recommendations:
- It would make permanent the partially refundable American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC), which is currently scheduled to revert to the non-refundable Hope credit at the end of 2017. It would also index the value of the AOTC to inflation, starting in 2018.
- It would Increase the portion of the credit that is refundable. Under current law, students who don't earn enough to owe federal income taxes can receive only up to 40 percent of the AOTC as a refundable credit. In other words, students who qualify for the maximum $2,500 credit can receive up to $1,000 as a refundable credit. The bill would make the first $1,500 of the credit refundable. This would particularly help students attending the lowest-cost institutions, such as community colleges, who now do not receive even the full $1,000 refundable credit if they have less than $4,000 in qualified expenses.
- It would improve coordination between Pell grants and the AOTC, and would ensure that Pell grants are never counted as taxable income, even when they are used for educational costs other than tuition. A similar proposal is in President Obama's budget.
- Under the original bill, the costs of the expanded refundabilty would have been offset by lowering the income eligibility limits for the AOTC and by eliminating the Lifetime Learning Credit.
Benefit Access and Health Care Reform ResourcesHealth care reform has the potential to dramatically change the way low-income individuals and families apply for and receive other benefits, such as nutritional assistance and the earned income tax credit. READ MORE »

Shane Doan's never been this deep in the playoffs, so you know he's not going to lie down despite his team's 0-3 hole. First, Jonathan Quick made a bit of a mental error, playing a puck behind the net that would have been whistled down for icing. Sure, perhaps the Coyotes would have gotten to the puck first, but Quick probably should've allowed the race to play out.
Instead, he tried to wheel it around the boards, and that's where Doan was to meet him. Doan leapt off his skates to try and stop the puck, but it snuck by to Ray Whitney. Whitney gave it back to Doan, who skated in on goal and whipped a backhand shot past Quick to give Phoenix the 1-0 lead.
Was it a bad penalty called against Justin Williams to put Phoenix on the power play? Absolutely. But the fact that they were a man down had just about nothing to do with the goal. Just a wonderful effort from Doan and Whitney to capitalize on a silly mistake from Quick.

Barcelona have been looking like a shadow of their former selves of late. They were ineffective until very late on at Levante, lost to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and then, most damaging of all, were defeated 2-1 at home by Real Madrid in a mach that they never seriously looked like winning. Since Pep Guardiola took over, Barcelona have been champions of Spain, but that run has come to a crushing end with last weekend's loss to Los Blancos.
Are they shy of confidence? Obviously, watching from afar, it's impossible to tell, but it certainly wouldn't be out of the question. At their best, Barcelona are phenomenal, ripping defences apart at will. Recently? They're a possession-retention machine that looks frankly stodgy whenever it attempts to go forwards. Something is wrong. Over at Barca Blaugranes, Gabriel Roberts is attributing that something to a lack of swagger, which seems as good a word as any:
Whoever gets the nod from Guardiola, they must play with confidence. Barcelona must come out believing in their superiority, and each player must receive and distribute the ball with the decisive and stylish touch we've come to expect from a colossal match at the Nou Camp. I've written before about the Camp Nou swagger—how an electric energy can build between these fabulous little footballers on their extra-wide pitch and in front of their 90,000 fans. Each successive successful pass contributes to this energy, and in time it can build to a methodical, mesmerizing demolition of the opponent.
If Barcelona play at their peak, there's nothing Chelsea can do to stop the hosts from going through. But recapturing that swagger after a very rough week will be a very tough ask for Pep Guardiola and his tired players.

Inspired by: Cinderella
For Cinderella, morning at Lady Tremaine's chateau was an especially busy time of day. Between filling Lucifer's bowl with milk and preparing tea and porridge for Drizella and Anastasia, she had to feed the horses and hens. Still, come springtime that was one chore that had its rewards when she'd be greeted by the latest crop of newly hatched Easter chicks. Like Cinderella, no doubt your child will consider the task of rounding up a collection of these chubby felt chicks pure pleasure. Tie name tags around their pipe cleaner legs to turn them into adorable holiday place cards or favors that young guests can take home after Easter dinner.
You'll need:
- Chick templates
- Scissors
- Straight pins (for securing the template pieces to the felt)
- Felt (yellow and orange)
- Orange pipe cleaners
- Hot glue gun
- Googly eyes
1. Print the template and cut out the pieces. Use the cutouts as patterns to cut out two felt body shapes and a pair of wings for each chick.
|2. To create the chick's legs, bend a 7-inch pipe cleaner length in half and twist the ends together a few times just below the bend.
|3. For feet, twist a 2-inch pipe cleaner length around the bottom of each leg, as shown.
|4. Cut out a small triangular beak from the orange felt and glue it to the edge of one of the body pieces.
|5. Glue the top of the legs to the bottom of the body.
|6. Glue the second body piece on top of the first one, matching up all the edges. Attach a wing to each side of the body, applying glue along one edge of the felt, as shown.
7. Glue a googly eye to each side of the chick's head. Then spread the pipe cleaner legs just wide enough to make the chick stand.

has amped up the brightness on four of its most popular sound-activated effects: the Topaz, Trance Wheel, Titan and Whirl. Re-named the Topaz 250, Trance Wheel 250, Titan 250 and Whirl 250, these new-generation fixtures now come equipped with more powerful 250W lamps. The higher wattage means they produce more vibrant, eye-popping colors. It also gives them the extra power to cover larger areas in bigger clubs and venues.
"Today's DJs and clubs are asking for brighter, more powerful lighting effects that don't cost an arm and a leg," said Scott Davies, general manager of the American DJ Companies. "American DJ has met this demand with 250W versions of our top-selling Topaz, Trance Wheel, Titan and Whirl. Now these fixtures provide more brilliance and coverage than ever, while still remaining highly affordable to working DJs and club owners."
In addition to their high-intensity 250W lamps, the four sound-activated fixtures have a new design that makes them better able to withstand the rigors of everyday use. The new high-tech molded plastic end covers that protect the case from damage- cater to the demands of mobile DJs and clubs, said Davies.
Of course, the four lighting effects still project the same vivid colorful patterns and graphics that made their predecessors so popular. They feature an effects-switch that operates in three modes: sound active, rotating or still head. For ease of use, the lighting effects have a focusing lens, a circuit breaker that eliminates fuse changes, and they are compact measuring 14.5"L x 5.5"W x 7.25"H and weighing only seven pounds.
A closer look at each effect:
Topaz 250: Features a beveled glass wheel that slowly rotates and projects onto a dichroic dish with seven different colors. The texture of the glass produces a flowing-water effect, which changes colors as it moves to the music.
Trance Wheel 250: Its rotating oil wheel projects through beveled glass, and it splashes multi-colored (10 colors plus white) psychedelic patterns on walls, ceilings and floors.
Titan 250: Also using beveled glass to create a softened effect, the Titan 250 contains a gobo wheel that slowly rotates through the textured glass and projects patterns onto a seven-color dichroic dish.
Whirl 250: This fixture projects a rotating 26mm gobo (20mm view area) through a five-color dichroic dish. It now comes with five replaceable gobos, which may be interchanged, giving the Whirl 250 added variety. Its easy-access door allows for quick, hassle-free changing of gobos.

Honest Advice
We give honest advice that puts you back in control - using, fixing, and upgrading without the marketing nonsense tricking you into wasting your money on stuff you don't need. You buy when you need to, not because you got conned into thinking it will make you live happily ever after.
the whole truth
Every manufacturer is rated so you instantly see all the hidden costs - not just the price tag - to humans, animals, environments, and society. The whole truth, right there, 'on the shelf next to the price' - putting you in control of whether your hard earned money is used to hurt or help your world.

Doing Good
We are a non-profit social enterprise so, when you buy from us, at least 60% of the profits are donated to partners and community projects that make your world better; the rest is invested in the business so we can do more good - no 'fat cat' shareholders here!
Our 5 Rs
A better way to use our resources
Most people will tell you about the 3Rs but we think that their approach is wrong – they want you to think about the waste you produce but the real, and far bigger, problem happens long before you walk to your bin.
Every kilo of 'stuff' we buy uses about 8½ kilos of the Earth's resources, and most of this extra material becomes polluting waste; and, as if that's not bad enough, some precious metals we need may even run out by 2030 (Cohen, 2007)
Sustainable living starts before the purchase, before the Earth is ruined, humans exploited, animals harmed, and bribes paid – it starts with us not placing that order – using less, means less waste.
1. Reject...
Don't buy it in the first place! Find more useful things to do with your time and money.
2. Rethink...
Choose alternatives that waste fewer resources, like rechargeable batteries.
3. Reduce...
Conserve resources – water, energy, and environments that recycle them for free.
4. Reuse...
Service, repair, upgrade, or give/swap with someone who can use it.
5. Recycle...
A last resort, where materials are recovered not wasted.

In this study we are investigating whether Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an effective treatment for GAD. TMS is an FDA-approved therapy for treating major depressive disorder (MDD). It is a non-invasive procedure that applies a magnetic pulse on the scalp. This treatment has been shown to lead to improvements in neuropsychiatric functioning. As part of this study you will also complete a brain scan using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Information from the brain scan will be used to guide the TMS treatment. Study participants will be randomly assigned (like a coin toss) to one of two conditions: TMS treatment or a placebo TMS condition during which no magnetic pulse will be received. This study is open to adults aged 18 and older with excessive anxiety and worry who meet study criteria. This experimental treatment is offered at no charge to participants and financial compensation is offered for non-treatment study visits.

People in Eufaula took to the streets Monday, calling for an end to violence in the wake of an officer-involved shooting.
More than 100 people marched this afternoon seeking justice and an end to violence after 26-year-old Cameron Massey was shot to death last week following a traffic stop.
Organizers say they're not against the police. They're just asking for answers for the family.
Pastor Kenneth Sharpton Glasgow, Reverend Al Sharpton's brother, marched along with supporters, and he says there's power in numbers.
"We have seen throughout history that when people come together a difference is made," said Pastor Glasgow, Executive Director for the Ordinary People's Society. "When people come together in order God hears them. When God hears them, justice has no other choice but to roll down like streaming waters."
The Alabama Bureau of Investigation is in charge of this case and has not commented yet
Ed Dubose with the Columbus Chapter of the NAACP tells us he plans to go to Eufaula to meet with the family tomorrow.

Highbridge students get cultural on Germany trip
7:30pm Wednesday 12th December 2012 in News
THESE students from King Alfred School in Highbridge are pictured on a visit to Koblenz in Germany.
More than 30 students from the school visited a partner school in the country as part of a trip which included a visit to the point where the Mosel and Rhine rivers meet.
Georgina Folwell, of Year 10, wrote a report of the trip and said: "We travelled to Cologne, the third biggest city in Germany, but on the way we stopped off in Bonn at the mother of all Haribo shops to spend some Euros.
"Most of us came out with huge 4kg boxes of sweets; it was like heaven and the coach could only just fit all of the sweets in the hold."

text: LEAP costs and subsidies A complete solution and a cost savings Private practice physicians looking for a complete electronic medical record system can turn to Legacy for help. We can also help you pay for more than a third of the system –– if you take advantage of temporary changes in rules that allow us to subsidize part of your purchase. Since 2011, Legacy Health has offered private practice physicians a complete EMR. Our solution is called Legacy Epic for Affiliated Physicians, or LEAP. We believe it is the best, most complete EMR/electronic health record. Using a break in U.S., Oregon and Washington laws, we can subsidize your purchase of the system for up to $11,400. However, the subsidy expires at some point. It could be at the end of the 2013 calendar year. Check this webpage later for new information. Subsidy, plus support features LEAP's total cost per installation is $28,700. Legacy's subsidy is $11,400 per practice, leaving an upfront cost for private practices of $17,300. Private practice may be eligible for an additional benefit based on their "meaningful use" of LEAP. See here for more. Our LEAP offering includes Epic upgrades, ICD-10 implementation, meaningful use support, unlimited training and support from Legacy Information Services. Other features are the MyHealth App for patients, voice recognition capability with Legacy Epic (Dragon), Patient Photos Display options and Check-In (Welcome) Kiosks.

EntitySpaces LLC has released a trial version of their Provider Independent Architecture which is scheduled to go into production on March 31st.
The EntitySpaces(TM) architecture for .NET is a new architecture for the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework. The EntitySpaces architecture is database independent. The data providers are loosely coupled to your application and allow you to use the same compiled code to access a whole host of databases.
- Very tiny footprint, less than 150k
- Serialization
- Simple, powerful, dynamic queries, improves greatly on dOOdads
- True collections with foreach syntax
- Saving via stored procedures or dynamic SQL
- Two different transaction models
- Design time data binding
- Abstract and Concrete Classes
- Generated from your database schema
- Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Access and Oracle providers are in the Trial
DotNetNuke module developers will find EntitySpaces to be an attractive alternative to the DotNetNuke DAL. Many of the features listed above, including important ones like transactions, are not available when using the DotNetNuke DAL API. The EntitySpaces provider independence model we feel is much easier because it is basically transparent and provided by EntitySpaces itself. It is not left up to you, the developer, to create. EntitySpaces handles it for you. There is a sample DotNetNuke module on our main menu, take a look at the source code listing too.

Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, CO
Destination Guide
Copyright NPS/E. Skeen
There's a good reason they call this park "breathtaking." Climb to the top of Long's Peak and you'll see why. (Hint: It's not just the drop-dead views). At almost three miles above sea level, Long's Peak is a huffer and puffer.
Drive up Trail Ridge Road, get out of the car and walk 50 feet on level ground. You'll be winded, just checking out the panoramic views of surrounding peaks along this famous, 50-mile route, the highest highway in the US, crossing the Continental Divide.
Sure, the air is rarified up there. But even for those with limited lung capacity, a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park is a must. And after a day or so, altitude will be a gasp of the past.Walk The Walk
This is a day-hiker's park. Many of the 355 trails are a manageable 5-10 miles roundtrip. And the scenery is varied enough to keep it interesting; you'll weave through spruce forests, over alpine tundra and past high-mountain lakes. The only downside: most trails start with a brutal uphill climb. Here are some of the most popular routes:
Rock Climbing, copyright Craig
Luebben/Fort Collins CVB
- The Loch. If you're looking for a great "photo op," hike the easy, mile-long Albert Falls trail to The Loch. You can drive there too, but beware: Since this is one of the most popular spots in the park, traffic can be a headache. And you might have trouble parking. Instead, take the free shuttle bus that runs down Bear Lake Road. If you hike, bring plenty of water and sunscreen; the trail is exposed to sun all day.
- Bear, Nymph, Dream and Emerald Lakes. One of the most popular and crowded trails is the one leading to four magnificent lakes. The trailhead begins at the end of Bear Lake Road, where you'll see the first lake. The trail from Dream to Emerald gets a little rough and steep, but shouldn't pose problems for those in good shape. From Emerald Lake, watch climbers scale Hallett Peak along the canyon's southern wall. Once again, shuttle service to the trailhead is recommended.
- Old Ute Trail. The mountain goats in your group will appreciate this moderate, 6-mile roundtrip hike, which begins at 11,250 feet and descends to 8,250 feet. The trail once served as a highway for Ute Indians, who traveled from village to village along the Continental Divide. From the barren slope of Tombstone Ridge, there is a great view of Longs Peak towering above. Don't be deceived. The trail down is a piece of cake. But you have to hike back up! Note: In winter, many lower-elevation trails on the park's east side can still be hiked. Those on the west side at higher elevations are generally buried in snow.

Even if your young ones don't have the lung capacity to tour this "park in the sky" by foot, they can get the same Rocky Mountain high along Trail Ridge Road, the highest highway in the US.
Trail Ridge crosses the park from east to west over 50 miles of glacially carved alpine tundra. For 15 miles, you'll ride above 11,000 feet; somewhere between Lava Cliffs and Gore Range it reaches its highest point-12,183 feet. Set aside at least 4 hours to see all the sights. Our favorites include:
- Rainbow Curve. You'll get a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and peaks, including Mount Chapin, Mount Chiquita, Mount Fairchild, Hagues Peak and Bighorn Mountain.
- Many Parks Curve. Witness the spectacular scenery left behind after glaciers scoured the canyon below.
- Forest Canyon Overlook. Check out the surrounding peaks and Big Thompson River that runs more than 2,500 feet below. Here you'll also catch a glimpse of busy marmots and pikas (small guinea pig-like mammals) darting about the rocks. Carry a jacket. It has been known to snow at the overlook, even during the summer!
Better than a zoo, Rocky Mountain Park is a veritable Wild Kingdom. Your little ones will shriek with delight upon spotting elk, mule deer, black bear, coyote, mountain lion, bobcat, mountain goats, bighorn sheep and moose roaming wild and free. Have cameras ready but proceed with caution. Remember to keep your distance and avoid making any sudden movements or sounds.
One of the best places to view wildlife is the open meadows of Moraine and Horseshoe Parks. You'll hear the wild yipping of coyote, and see deer, bobcat, raccoon, muskrat, porcupine, fox, black bear, and weasel. During the evening hours, beavers are easy to spot along streams. Keep your distance! It may be tempting to enter the meadow, but it's safer to observe these furry friends from your car in the Moraine and Horseshoe parking lots.
Above treeline, you're in alpine tundra, a flower-rich meadowland. Many of the plants here are the same as those in other arctic and alpine areas of the world. And keep an eye out for yellow-bellied marmot, pika, elk and bighorn sheep. While exploring the tundra make sure to stay on the designated trails, as recovery from damage may take several hundred years.DASHBOARD

Lauderdale County Schools will get a security boost. The board of education hired a new school resource officer.
They now have two officers for 11 county schools.
The new SRO started this week.
It has been nearly two years since the Lauderdale County School Board has had more than one SRO to cover all the schools.
Superintendent Jennifer Gray said the new hire is a step in the right direction.
"This will ease the burden on him, plus provide a presence in more schools more often," she said.
With the help of funding from the Lauderdale County Commission, the two officers will now split the 75 mile stretch between Lauderdale County's 11 schools.
Gray is hopeful the additions will keep coming.
"It's a small step. Of course, the ultimate goal would be to have an SRO at every facility. We are going to pursue another SRO hopefully in October, and we're always looking for grants that will provide needed funds for additional SROs," said Gray.
She said the presence of security in schools is needed now more than ever and that her board will do whatever it takes to ensure safety in her district.
"We take student safety campus safety very seriously, and it's unfortunate that the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook has really caused a whole different perspective on what we're doing, but that is a priority of ours - to keep everyone safe while they're on our campuses," she said.
Gray said she hopes to add a third officer this fall.

Make it clear to family and friends—and especially to each other—that your relationship as a couple is the most important relationship in your life.
Don't Take Your Long-Term Relationship for Granted
"The mistake most couples or one person makes is they're so much in love with their partner that they assume the relationship will last forever," says Robert Billingham, an associate professor in Indiana University Bloomington's Department of Applied Health Science. "They don't think it is something they have to work on."
From a biological standpoint, human beings are not built for long-term romance, according to Billingham, whose research interests include interpersonal relationships, parent/child interactions and the long-term effect of divorce on children.
Biologically, the body chemistry that makes our hearts flutter during a new relationship is replaced after several years with body chemistry geared more toward attachment, he says.
Couples, therefore, need to work at keeping romance alive in long-term relationships.
Make Time for Romance…It's Good for Your Health
Billingham says research indicates that people who divorce experience poorer health and a diminished quality of life, so longevity and overall happiness are additional reasons for keeping romance alive with the right partner.
Finding time for romance is crucial to a marriage or committed long-term relationship, and it shouldn't be limited to anniversaries, Valentine's Day or other special occasions.
5 Tips for Rekindling Romance in Your Long-Term Relationship
Billingham offers the following tips for couples who want to rekindle the romance and improve a long-term relationship:
- Date Your Spouse or Partner
Find ways to spend time together and enjoy each other.
"Individuals change. The relationship changes," Billingham says. "This core behavior (regular dating, emphasizing the relationship) says, 'No matter what happens, we find time for ourselves, find time to celebrate the relationship.'"
Want some ideas to get started? See 10 First Date Ideas.
- Make Sure Your Children See Your Love for Each Other
Parents spend 18 to 20 years preparing their children to leave home, and parenting requires sacrifices to properly care for children. But investments in a long-term relationship as a couple can benefit parents and kids alike, and make the "empty nest" seem not quite so empty after the children leave home.
"If the kids don't see an emphasis on the relationship, what we model is that the marriage isn't as important as work, sports or other activities, Billingham says. "When they do see the emphasis, what we're modeling is that the marriage, the committed relationship is important.
"[Emphasizing the long-term relationship] is crucial because we need to teach our children that our relationships are more important than things like work, movies and sports. We do a very poor job of this in our society."
- Start Today
It's never too late to rekindle love and romance in a stale long-term relationship, Billingham says. Start from where you are, and begin doing things together that emphasize and celebrate your relationship as a couple.
- Should You Quit or Recommit?
Obviously, rekindling romance is much more difficult if one of the partners has fallen in love with someone else and is experiencing a new surge of attraction hormones that is pulling them away from their core relationship.
It really comes down to conscious choice and commitment. If both people in the relationship can honestly say "I want to get this back on track," then there's hope.
Sex and romance can make life and your long-term relationship as a couple more pleasant and rewarding. Couples who are healthy, and who can sustain an active sex life, tend to live longer and be happier, Billingham says.

Saints QB Drew Brees, Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall and Cardinals CB-PR Patrick Peterson were named NFC Players of the Week for Week 12.
Brees dissected the Giants' defense for 363 passing yards and four passing touchdowns and added a rushing touchdown in the Saints' 49-24 shellacking Monday night. Brees now has 27 career games of at least 350 passing yards, tying him with Dan Marino for the most in league history. This is his 14th career player of the week award.
One week after publicly saying the Redskins should cut him because of his performance, Hall had an interception, six passes defensed and five tackles in the team's 23-17 win over the Seahawks. His interception sealed the victory with less than one minute remaining and the Seahawks driving. This is his second career player of the week award.
Peterson had an 80-yard punt-return touchdown in the Cardinals' 23-20 win over the Rams. The return was his fourth punt-return TD of at least 80 yards, a NFL record. This is the second time this season Peterson has been named player of the week.

Zen Story: Perfection
There once lived a priest whose duty it was to tend the garden of a Zen temple. The priest loved trees, bushes and flowers and took great pride in his work. A low wall separated the temple from another, smaller shrine next door, where an aged Zen master lived.
One day, the priest was told that important guests were expected. Immediately, he set about tending the garden. He removed weeds, pruned tree branches and shrubs. He even combed the moss ! Since it was autumn, the ground was untidy with dry leaves which the priest painstakingly raked and arranged into neat mounds.
All this while, the old monk was watching him from across the wall. The priest finished with his labor of love. A look of satisfaction spread across his face. "Doesn't it look beautiful now?" he said, turning to the monk.
"Indeed it does," replied the monk, "but something's not quite right. Here, give me a hand over this wall and I'll fix it for you."
Puzzled, the priest did as he was asked. The old master made his way slowly to a tree in the center of the garden, gripped its trunk and shook it hard. Leaves scattered down, orange, russet and brown. "There…that's better ! Now, can you help me back across the wall ?"
Perfection is….not always what you think it is!

San Juan County, NM –San Juan County Sheriff's Office Deputies will be in uniform at public schools in Aztec, Bloomfield, Blanco and Kirtland New Mexico today. This is in response to postings on Facebook regarding the schools. "There were reports called in to various schools within the county from concerned parents," said Captain Shane Utley. "We are working with the schools and various agencies throughout the county as a precaution as we investigate the reports and the Facebook postings."
Facebook postings have been reported to have been posted that indicate incidents could happen at various public schools within the County today. As a precaution Deputies and individuals from other agencies will be at the schools. Bloomfield Police Department will have an officer at each school in Bloomfield today, and Sheriff's Office Reserve Deputies will in Bloomfield Schools as well. Aztec police will be in Aztec along with Sheriff's Deputies. The Sheriff's Office will also have deputies in Blanco and Kirtland.
"We were also contacted by the San Juan County Fire Department asking if they could help", said Utley. "We asked them to place a fire truck in front of every school they could in the County. The more "official" vehicles we have in front of the schools the better deterrent it is for individuals who may have been considering doing something there." Also the fire department is trained in first aid and would be already on site should they be needed.
It is important to note that the postings on Facebook have not been substantiated, the presence at the schools is simply a precaution. San Juan County Sheriff's Detectives are investigating the postings. "We would rather error on the side of caution," said Utley. Detectives will continue investigating the postings to determine if they were in fact legitimate or simply rumors.
The Sheriff's Office is releasing this information in order to let parents know why law enforcement and fire personnel are at the schools today.

How often does everyone here do ab work? Every day? Just on lower days? Do you think abs need an effciant amount of recovery time just as any other muscle does, like hit them hard once or twice a week then rest them?

Training log
I like 2x per week for 12-16 sets each. Ive hit my best squat and dl lifts doing that.
Best Lifts unequipped
Best lifts Equipped
Thankfully Representing AtLarge Nutrition and EliteFTS
I used to never do them, until my gym got a new Mauy thai coach. Now its at least 200 a day. Today was 400 (morning and night class), and I still dont have a 6 pack...
Never. Olympic lifting, with all its various assistance (OLympic squats, deads, pulls) are more than enough. Even if i wasn't Olympic lifting while i powerlifted, i'd still skip the ab work and stick with front squats for core (Olympic style only, and no belt). I think the last time i had actual ab work in my split was about 6 years ago.
If i'm training others that dont O-lift at all i'll throw in some ab work twice a week to keep them happy, but they'll still do front squats.
Bench: 350
Squat: 475
Dead: 500
"All people dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous ones, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible."
Do them on both lower body days, heavy. 4x5-8. Before bed crunches and side crunches, 20 reps each. It's made a big difference for me. Used to neglect them big time.
I usally do abs 2x a week on my SQ/DL day and again on my Back day
