I cannot say definitively but I will say BERNARD HOPKINS...
SEGUNDO MERCADO- in the rematch Hopkins mauled him Philly style and he faded into obscurity
JOE LIPSEY- was dangerous and undefeated. Hopkins KO'd him and he pretty much was never heard from again
KEITH HOLMES- Hopkins mauled him brutally in taking his middleweight belt en rout to becoming the first undisputed middle since the marvelous marvin hagler... he moved down to 154 and pretty much disappeared.
John David Jackson-- was a top fighter-- not the same after Hopkins Kod him in 7 rounds- fought only two more times and called it quits
Antwun Echols- STOPPED IN FIGHT 2 IN ONE OF THE MOST RUGGED 160 BOUTS I EVER SAW--in fight 2 Hopkins laid a beat down on this rugged middleweight who at 160 was a monster- forced him out of the division up to 168 where he was still good and exciting but never the same.
TITO TRINIDAD- totally took the life out of Tito in one of the greatest boxing clinics put on at MSG
kelly Pavlik--- the Ghost never the same
Jean Pascal? ---- mentally he suffered AFTER BEING SCHOOLED BY THE OLD MAN---he took a year and a half off to come back and UD some unknown-- we will see how he is in this upcoming bout
Tavaris Cloud?--- mentally he has to be suffering. He talked so much shit and was totally out classed BY THE OLD MAN after showing Hopkins big time disrespect

Lighting designer Jennifer Tipton has been named as one of the 2008 recipients of the MacArthur Foundation Fellowships—nicknamed the "genius grants"—$500,000 in no-strings-attached support over the next five years. Other winners include a neurobiologist, a saxophonist, a critical care physician, an urban farmer, an optical physicist, a sculptor, a geriatrician, a historian of medicine, and an inventor of musical instruments. All were selected for their creativity, originality, and potential to make important contributions in the future. Each received a phone call from the MacArthur Foundation with the news. Tipton was selected, the Foundation said, for: "pushing the visual boundaries of her art form with painterly lighting that evokes mood and sculpts movement in dance, drama, and opera."
"Jennifer's contributions to the field of lighting design and to theatre in general have been enormous. I can think of no more worthy recipient of this award. I am thrilled for her. I'm thrilled too that the art of lighting has been recognized in such a significant way," says lighting designer Stepehn Strawbridge, who is Tipton's long-term friend and colleague in the Design Department at the Yale School of Drama.
An internationally recognized lighting designer whose distinctive designs have redefined the relationship between lighting and performance, Tipton has been an important presence throughout her prolific career in dance, drama, and opera productions of all scales, and she is regarded as one of the most versatile designers working today. Best known for her work in dance, Tipton's painterly lighting evokes mood and defines and sculpts movement. Preferring a small but powerful palette of colors, she pioneered the use of white light in theatre and dance. In Twyla Tharp's In the Upper Room (1986) and Fait Accompli (1983), for instance, her strategic placement of white lights coupled with manufactured fog allowed dancers to enter and exit the performance space from upstage rather than the wings. They materialize, seemingly out of nowhere, only to disappear into a void, thereby reinforcing the progression of the dance as it advances and recedes, explodes and implodes. For both small theatre and Broadway productions, Tipton's artistry interacts intimately with the work's physical appearance and emotional resonance. Her subtle, shifting lighting for Eugene O'Neill's A Moon for the Misbegotten (2005) gave visual support to the play's delicate balance between vitality and deep sadness; in the final scene, the cleansing warmth of approaching dawn affirms the sense of peace and forgiveness finally achieved by the protagonists. As a committed teacher, Tipton has influenced a generation of lighting designers, and her dramatic imagination continues to push the visual boundaries of lighting design in new and exciting directions.
Jennifer Tipton received a B.A. (1958) from Cornell University. She has designed lighting for numerous dance performances for such companies as the New York City Ballet, the American Ballet Theatre, Twyla Tharp Dance, and the Paul Taylor Dance Company, and for theatrical productions at such venues as St. Ann's Warehouse, the Public Theatre, and the Metropolitan Opera, among many others. Since 1994, she has served as an adjunct professor of lighting design at the Yale University School of Drama.

found this on the net somwhere...thought it was funny mainly, but it inspired me to complain about stuff...see below after.
Research on bread indicates that:
1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.
2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.
3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.
4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.
5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!
6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.
7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.
8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.
9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.
10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.
11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.
12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.
In light of these frightening statistics, it has been proposed that the following bread restrictions be made:
1. No sale of bread to minors.
2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.
3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.
4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.
5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.
Creating a topic for discussion here...completely unrelated to sci/fi but that's why I put it in the chat section!
Although above is all just humour...I have a lot of problems with the news on TV, the paper less so...
anyway, I see all the time that when it's a slow news day, they'll make something up and create a report on it. the above joke has more real facts in it then half the news I see on TV. So, how can I know that what I read/see in the media is actually true? In my view, the news is an entertainment program in the same vein as a sitcom or sporting event. I don't trust it, and as such I don't watch it. Does that mean that I am being ignorant of what's going on in the world?
My local news channel here in Toronto is the worst...I'll get a "teaser" at around 5:45 pm telling me that something I use everyday (such as home furniture) is going to harm by baby, news at 6. Then I watch at 6, and wait through the entire show, and then at the end they'll tag some story for 1 minute at around 6:27 to tell me that there have been some reported accidents where bookshelves have fallen on children. the moral of this story, bookshelves are dangerous and should not be used? ok, fine, but then the next day they come up with some other story about how my baby is going to die because of something else. I swear, this new anchor spends their entire job looking for things that will kill by baby and then make a new story out of it.
Then my wife gets mad at me because I don't know what's going in the world cause I choose not to follow the "news". I think I'll get my news from a more reliable source of factual data, such as the internet.

CATEGORIES MoviesEver notice that Oscar-nominated actress Salma Hayek plays a nurse a lot? Sure, the types of nurses she plays vary greatly, but still, we can't think of another actress who has sported nurses' scrubs more than Hayek.
Think about it for a minute. She played Jack's mother's nurse Elisa on "30 Rock." She was the hot telenovela nurse on "Ugly Betty," and the school nurse in the teen horror flick "The Faculty." She even played all of the nurses in the 2007 musical "Across the Universe."
And now she's playing a nurse yet again in this week's release "Here Comes the Boom," co-starring Kevin James. The unlikely duo play a school nurse and a high school biology teacher, respectively. James's character decides to work towards becoming an MMA fighter in order to raise money for the cash-strapped school.
Along the way, he tries to woo Hayek's character and she becomes a reluctant cheerleader for his far-fetched pursuit. The flick is goofier than the films we're used to seeing Hayek appear in, but she should feel right at home in the nurse's office.
Of course, this isn't the first Happy Madison production Hayek has co-starred in. She played Adam Sandler's impossibly hot wife in "Grown Ups," and she's reprising her role for next year's sequel, "Grown Ups 2." As terrible as "Grown Ups" was, you can't really blame her for signing on for both. After all, hanging out with Sandler and company in a resort-like setting really doesn't seem so bad. And the paycheck probably doesn't hurt, either.
With Hayek slipping on the nurses' scrubs yet again, I compiled a list of her many nurse-related roles from over the years.
1. Elisa on "30 Rock." Ah, Elisa. So beautiful. So giving. So ... jealous of Liz Lemon? When Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) fell in love with his mother's nurse Elisa, he was willing to overlook almost anything. Even her admission that she killed her husband! Sadly, Jack had to say goodbye when it became clear Elisa wasn't cool with his pal Lemon.
2. Nurses in "Across the Universe." Yes, nurses plural. Hayek was reportedly so eager to appear in "Across the Universe," she asked director Julie Taymor if she could squeeze her in somehow. Taymor asked if she wanted to play a nurse, but Hayek wasn't content with playing just one. In an interview, Hayek said she played all of the nurses (12 in total), but many didn't make the final cut.
3. Telenovela nurse on "Ugly Betty." This is our first clue that Hayek's penchant for playing nurses isn't a coincidence. As one of the show's executive producers, she probably had the pull to assign herself whatever role she wanted. And apparently she wanted to play a telenovela nurse. We say it was a good call -- she was hilarious as the soapy nurse.
4. Nurse Rosa in "The Faculty." Rosa isn't your typical high school nurse. Like the rest of the faculty, she's infected by an alien parasite that gives her an insatiable thirst for water. Clearly Hayek and director Robert Rodriguez enjoy working together. She has appeared in a ton of his movies, from "Desperado" to "Spy Kids 3D" and, of course, "The Faculty."
5. Hayek channeled her inner nurse once again on a humanitarian trip to Sierra Leone in 2009, when she famously played nurse to another woman's baby. Video footage of her selflessly breastfeeding the sick child quickly went viral.
"Here Comes The Boom" opens in theaters on October 12.

Entertainment: the 3 shows by the Norwegian Gem singers and dancers cast were excellent. A must see!!! Second city was funny and the magic show was also very nice. The Strings Quartet played almost everyday in different places of the ship. I recommend it!!!
Dining: we ate at the Garden Cafe, Magenta, Sushi Bar, and La Cucina. Sushi Bar and La Cucina had a cover charge, but it so worth it. The food at La Cucina was amazing (for only $10 pp). Sushi was also great and the charge was $15 pp.
Cabin: we could not have asked for more. We had a balcony at starboard, fwd.The only downside of having a balcony on the front was that on 2 of the 7 nights the weather was terrible. On the first bad night(leaving Malta), our balcony door kept opening due to the wind. On the second bad night they locked all the balconies and we were not able to go outside in any place of the ship due to strong winds (hurricane force winds, actually). It went on from 7 PM to 1 AM (and it was advised by the captain prior to leaving the port (Cannes). But that has nothing to do with the cabin,it was the weather that was not good. Note: The bed is extremely comfortable!
Spa: we bought a spa package and we were able to use the relaxation facilities at any time. Steam bath, jacuzzis, warm beds,etc. It was nice to relax after a day walking!!
Embarkation and Disembarkation were very smooth, we were able to leave the ship at 6:30 AM, in time for our early flight.
Public rooms: very clean, well maintained, beautiful ,and comfortable.

Report: ASU hires Chris Thomsen as running backs coach
According to FOXSportsArizona.com, ASU head coach Todd Graham said the team has hired a new running backs coach on Thursday.
An athletic department source later confirmed the coach joining the Sun Devils is a familiar face, Chris Thomsen.
An official announcement is expected to come on Friday. Thomsen is replacing Larry Porter, who left ASU for Texas last week.
Thomsen joined ASU in December 2011 shortly after Graham was hired but departed only two months later to become Texas Tech's offensive line coach.
Thomsen coached the Red Raiders on an interim basis in the Meineke Car Care Bowl after head coach Tommy Tuberville bolted for Cincinnati. He was not offered a position on new Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury's staff.
ASU ranked third in the Pac-12 and 25th overall with 205.4 rushing yards per game in 2012.

When your main reason for being is to convince major movie and TV studios to shoot their films in Los Angeles, your presentation had better be impressive. That's why FilmL.A. Inc.—the recently re-launched company that promotes filmmaking in the region—chose Kinetic Lighting Inc. to orchestrate its debut bash with video, audio, and lighting effects that would dazzle even Hollywood's seasoned elite.
The stellar event, keynoted by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and attended by other political and film industry luminaries, presented a tough challenge for Kinetic lighting designer David Jacobi. The venue was a former oil company lunchroom with limited available power, bathed in a drab military green, and used as a utility space by the building's owner, LA Center Studios. "What we wanted to do was transform this commercial-looking facility into a modern, hip nightclub, creating multiple environments in one space," explains Jacobi. "This required a great deal of imaginative lighting and projection techniques, not to mention a few buckets of paint."
Starting with the entryway, the Kinetic crew conceived a design that greeted arriving guests with a theatrically lit façade, on which a larger-than-life image of the FilmL.A. logo was projected. Dramatic red-carpet lighting and skytracker searchlights lent opening-night excitement to the event. In the reception area, up-lit columns and a strategically lit step-and-repeat banner of the FilmL.A. logo provided an ideal backdrop for photo ops.
The main party space featured a light and media spectacle intended to captivate attendees. Two separate video sources were used to project images on interior walls. "I went with LED fixtures to complement the video," says Jacobi, "we had an almost unlimited color palette, while using only a minimal amount of power. The effect got everyone immersed in the video without the need for larger screens."
Other highlights included: a 40' bar with Color Kinetics ColorBlast 12 fixtures to create a dynamic effect of rich, changing color; atmospheric tube lights under the bar's edge; ColorBlast 12 up-lighting along a 120' wide, 10' high wall; colored lighting gels in all existing 2'x2' fluorescent fixtures; and breakup patterns on the exterior patio with up-lighting on perimeter trees. The multimedia motif and continuous music proved so popular with guests, they stayed for hours after the party's planned end time. This couldn't have pleased FilmL.A. and LA Center Studios more.

About noon yesterday, Thomas Rurak, 55, of 34 Margin St., was removing items from the second floor of a two-family house he owns at that address in preparation for selling the house, police and witnesses said. It was the same house James Rurak grew up in. James Rurak said he sold the house to his cousin around nine years ago.
Thomas Rurak was standing on a second-floor porch overlooking the front entrance. Witnesses said he was handing bags and boxes of items over the railing to workers from Lazarus House in Lawrence, who were standing on the front walkway below the porch. Rurak was donating furniture and personal belongings to Lazarus House, an organization that helps needy people.
Thomas Rurak's cousin John Masys, 29, who lives across the street at 33 Margin St., said he was looking out his front window when he saw his cousin crash through the porch railing and onto the pavement leading to the front steps of the house. The fall was about 12 feet.
"He was on the balcony with a box, and the railing just broke," Masys said. "I heard him scream."
Emergency workers were called, and they found Rurak on the ground and bleeding from a head injury. Rurak was taken by ambulance to Caritas Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, police said.
Dennis McCarthy, development officer for Lazarus House, said Rurak was trying to do a good thing when the accident occurred.
"I was told he had one item left and that it was very heavy," McCarthy said. "He must have just fallen forward. I hope he's going to be OK."
James Rurak said he tried to visit his cousin at Caritas Holy Family and was told he had been transferred to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, where he was in critical condition last night.
"They transferred him to Boston, which is not a good sign," James Rurak said. "This tells me it is very serious."

John G. Hubbard, DDS
R. Brooks Legg, Jr, DDS
Clay, WV
Hello, I am John G. Hubbard and I graduatd from West Virginia Univeristy School of Dentistry in 2006. Dr. Russell Brooks Legg, Jr. graduated from West Virginia University School of Dentistry in 1975.
My office is located at 63 Carr Street, PO Box 568, Clay WV, 25043. The office phone number is (304) 587-2359. There are 6 operatories, a large lab, separate sterilization center. The darkroom has a new processor. The operatories are large and separate. All operatories are equipped for sit-down, four-handed dentistry. Each operatory has its' own extraoral x-ray unit. There are 3 new Marus chairs and units and 3 ADEC units with Dental-Ex chairs. Relatively new x-ray processor capable of producing "endo" read films in 8 seconds. There is also a new Gandex panoramic x-ray unit. There is a large employee lounge, large business office, satellite xm radio system with Bose sound enhancements. All new carpet, paint, tile, decorating. There are 3 full-time dental hygienists and 3 full-time dental assistants. There are 3 persons in the business office. We do a lot of oral surgery and approximately 60% of our practice consists of children/adolescents. We are restoring more implants each year. We work a 5 day week. We can accommodate left-handed students.
The population of Clay County is approximately 9,500. Clay has less than 1,000 residents. There is limited shopping but fast food is available such as Subway and Gino's. There is a Rite Aid super center. The local school system has been recognized both in-state and nationally for excellence in education.
My personal philosophy of practice is that we live and practice in a very poor, rural area of Appalachia. Our practice is not based on "what fees can we charge" but "how can we help this patient achieve good oral health". We don't permit the word "welfare" to be used in our office: we treat everyone with respect and dignity. Once this concept is in place, everything else will "fall into formation". Our practice is staffed by caring, friendly people. We have a good reputation in surrounding counties also.
****We don't have smokers or tobacco users on our staff (no exceptions!!)
To reach our office, take I-79 South to Exit 40 (Big Otter). Take Route 16 South (turn left off the exit ramp) to Ivydale (7 miles). Bear right and stay on Rt 16 to Clay (10 or 11 miles), turn left at large Go-Mart (still on Rt 16), travel 1 ½ miles. Carr Street is the first street on the right after leaving the Go-Mart. Office is second building on the right (63 Carr Street). The distance is 135 miles and driving time should be about 2 hours.
You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Aluminium sulfate, alternatively spelled either aluminum or sulphate, is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(SO4)3. It is soluble in water and is mainly used as a flocculating agent in the purification of drinking water[2][3] and waste water treatment plants, and also in paper manufacturing.
Aluminium sulfate is sometimes referred to as a type of alum. Alums are double sulfate salts, with the formula AM(SO
2O, where A is a monovalent cation such as potassium or ammonium and M is a trivalent metal ion such as aluminium.[4] The anhydrous form occurs naturally as a rare mineral millosevichite, found e.g. in volcanic environments and on burning coal-mining waste dumps. Aluminium sulfate is rarely, if ever, encountered as the anhydrous salt. It forms a number of different hydrates, of which the hexadecahydrate Al2(SO4)3•16H2O and octadecahydrate Al2(SO4)3•18H2O are the most common. The heptadecahydrate, whose formula can be written as [Al(H2O)6]2(SO4)3•5H2O, occurs naturally as the mineral alunogen.
Aluminium sulfate may be made by adding aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)3, to sulfuric acid, H2SO4:
- 2 Al(OH)3 + 3 H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3·6H2O
Aluminium sulfate is used in water purification and as a mordant in dyeing and printing textiles. In water purification, it causes impurities to coagulate which are removed as the particulate settles to the bottom of the container or more easily filtered. This process is called coagulation or flocculation.
When dissolved in a large amount of neutral or slightly alkaline water, aluminium sulfate produces a gelatinous precipitate of aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH)3. In dyeing and printing cloth, the gelatinous precipitate helps the dye adhere to the clothing fibers by rendering the pigment insoluble.
Aluminium sulfate is sometimes used to reduce the pH of garden soil, as it hydrolyzes to form the aluminium hydroxide precipitate and a dilute sulfuric acid solution. An example of what changing the pH level of soil can do to plants is visible when looking at the Hydrangea macrophylla. The gardener can add aluminium sulfate to the soil to reduce the pH level which in turn will result in the flowers of the Hydrangea turning a different color.
Aluminium potassium sulfate and another form of alum, aluminium ammonium sulfate are the active ingredients in some antiperspirants; however, beginning in 2005 the US Food and Drug Administration no longer recognized it as a wetness reducer.
Aluminium potassium sulfate is usually found in baking powder, where there is controversy over its use due to concern regarding the safety of adding aluminium to the diet.
In construction industry it is used as waterproofing agent and accelerator in concrete. Another use is a foaming agent in fire fighting foam.
It is also used in styptic pencils, and pain relief from stings and bites.
It can also be very effective as a molluscicide, killing spanish slugs.
Chemical reactions[edit]
The compound decomposes to γ−alumina and sulfur trioxide when heated between 580 and 900 °C. It combines with water forming hydrated salts of various compositions.
Aluminium sulfate reacts with sodium bicarbonate to which foam stabilizer has been added, producing carbon dioxide for fire-extinguishing foams:
- Al2(SO4)3 + 6 NaHCO3 → 3 Na2SO4 + 2 Al(OH)3 + 6 CO2
The carbon dioxide is trapped by the foam stabilizer and creates a thick foam which will float on top of hydrocarbon fuels and seal off access to atmospheric oxygen, smothering the fire. Chemical foam was unsuitable for use on polar solvents such as alcohol, as the fuel would mix with and break down the foam blanket. The carbon dioxide generated also served to propel the foam out of the container, be it a portable fire extinguisher or fixed installation using hoselines. Chemical foam is considered obsolete in the United States and has been replaced by synthetic mechanical foams, such as AFFF which have a longer shelf life, are more effective, and more versatile, although some countries such as Japan and India continue to use it.[citation needed]

As the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets formally completed the blockbuster trade to send Kevin Garnett, Paul Piece and Jason Terry to Brooklyn in exchange for a package that includes Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries and several draft picks, the difference in mood between the two franchises was palpable. Boston's team website described the move as a shake up and posted a small action picture of Wallace on the front page. The press release appropriately led with comments about losing franchise legends.
In contrast to that sober scene, the Nets went big. Really big. The splash page at the Nets' website featured a slick graphic of Garnett, Piece and Terry with the words "Hello Brooklyn. We're In." Not to be outdone, owner Mikhail Prokhorov proudly declared in the team's official press release that the "basketball gods" smiled down on the team:
"Today, the basketball gods smiled on the Nets," said Nets Principal Owner Mikhail Prokhorov. "With the arrival of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, we have achieved a great balance on our roster between veteran stars and young talents. This team will be dazzling to watch, and tough to compete against."
It's a joyous day for the Nets, so we'll overlook the comments about achieving "a great balance" between veteran stars and young talents for now. The basketball gods may be immortal, but in the NBA, aging veterans like Garnett (37), Pierce (35), and Terry (35) are always up against a hard wall of physical reality. In any case, here's what Brooklyn's celebratory splash page looked like:
Celtics executives didn't exude the same level of excitement. Here's what they had to say in the press release:
"We would like to thank Paul, Kevin, and Jason for everything that they have done for this franchise. We would not have won Banner 17 without Paul and Kevin and they will go down amongst the all-time great players to have ever worn a Celtics uniform," said Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge. "At the same time we are excited to welcome Gerald, Kris, Keith, MarShon and Kris to the Celtics family. They bring a wealth of talent, experience, depth, and flexibility to our team."
"Paul and Kevin exemplified everything it means to be a Celtic," said Celtics Managing Partner and CEO Wyc Grousbeck. "They were instrumental in bringing back Celtic Pride and providing our fans with the franchise's first championship in over 20 years in 2008. We wish them nothing but the best in the future."
Now here's what the Celtics posted to announce the trade:
PR presentation aside, there are a lot of details that will eventually define the quality of this move for both franchise. It may take a few years, but everyone should be excited to find out what the basketball gods were really smiling about.

One East Texas branch of a national financial organization is spending part of their summer collecting items to help our troops.
The Wells Fargo Advisors have kicked off their fourth annual Operation American Pride Project to show their appreciation to the men and women who serve in harm's way each day.
"We sit here every day - as you can tell sitting here in my nice, air-conditioned office, not worrying anything for my safety," said Greg Strnadel, a senior vice president for Wells Fargo Advisors. "And so, as I sit here, those men and women are paying the price for that, and so it's a chance for us to let them know that, number one, we appreciate them. Number two, let them know that we have not forgot about them, and we want to continue to serve them."
Since June 1, 15 Wells Fargo branches from Jonesboro, Arkansas to Bryan-College Station have been collecting items for care packages.
They are collecting non-perishable food items like beef jerky and crackers, baby wipes, hygiene items, candy, and other things the project organizers say we may take for granted.
Hundreds of boxes have been distributed to members of all branches of the military.
"We work with the base in Killeen and they actually distribute them for us. So we have a network with the USO that actually decides which servicemen and women, and we give priority to those coming from our area," said Strnadel.
You can drop off your donations at participating Wells Fargo locations until July 4.
Wells Fargo is also partnering with the Military Officers Association of America to collect monetary donations for care packages. Anyone wanting to donate can make a check payable to Rose Capital Chapter MOAA/Operation American Pride and mail to P.O. Box 130921, Tyler, TX, 75713.

Happy Birthday to Me!
These were a birthday present to myself, as an upgrade to a previous pair that were 1/3 ct tw. The earrings were bigger than I expected, very bright and very beautiful. I like that the screw back post is not terribly thick, my previous pair had to be reset because they would shred my ears. These are very comfortable to wear and I haven't taken them off yet!
Earrings bent
The diamond was lovely but the earring was bent. I was so disappointed that I returned it immediately.
Great value!
My wife was thrilled with the earrings, they're a great value for the size and quality. They were shipped quickly in a discrete unmarked box, made a perfect Christmas gift!
My daughter loves them
After shopping at several Jewlery stores and other websites, Blue Nile hands down has the best quality diamonds for the money. The color and clarity of these earings are exceptional.
These are beautiful! Received them as a push/Christmas present and couldn't be happier
As described
The earrings were as described. You can take the minimum color, clarity, carat etc. and just assume that that is what you will get. They do sparkle much better than most mall based jewelers and are of good quality, but if I had to do it all over again, I'd go the build your own route as I'd be certain of the diamonds characteristics then.On a side note, my experience with FedEx was horrible. Did not arrive on the day scheduled, even after they called the night before to confirm I would be there to sign for the package. Then the tracking info was NEVER updated. Blue Nile customer service was very helpful and contacted FedEx for me and explained delays due to weather. The package did finally arrive FOUR days after the promised delivery date. Oh, and I received UPS packages from Amazon and LL Bean during this time so the whole weather delay thing doesn't seem like FedEx was making much of an effort.
Made me a hero! She loved them!
This was an incredibly easy purchase. I called the rep and discussed the diamond quality, size and value... he was very helpful and his advice was honest and insightful. Shipping was quick and the earrings were beautiful and sparkled intensely. They were a pre-wedding gift for my new wife and she was overwhelmed by the quality. 3/4 ct. tw. seemed kind of small to me but it looked perfect on her ears made her very happy! Great value for the price and this purchase made me a real hero in her eyes!
Are these diamonds?
Sent them back. They look more like pieces of glass than diamonds - not sure why the other comments talked about their sparkle.
She loves these earrings and she is wear them on her wedding day in 4 days!
I bought these earrings as a 30th birthday present for my daughter. They arrived in 2 days and were beyond my expectations. They are beautiful!
I know my college graduate will love them!
The earrings are very bright and have great sparkle.Much nicer than department store offerings, and I like the fact that an appraisal/photo comes with the purchase, and the screw back is great for everyday wear.
Unbelievable quality for the price. The size was much larger than I expected. I am totally pleased.
My husband has great taste. I love them.
larger than expected. nice color, settings are beautiful. this is a beautiful set. with the screw on backs am not afraid to wear them all the time. I am proud of these earrings. they are a good investment.
Fabulous birthday splurge!
These earrings are gorgeous and an exceptional value!
Make me smile
These earrings were a gift from my husband for my 40th birthday. I'm so happy with them. They are much nicer quality than the earrings we looked at in our local jewellery stores for much cheaper price. The shipping was very quick, service was great. Very happy with our purchase
Efficient and good value shopping
Researched in-person shopping in Vancouver, London and Johannesburg. Very satisfied with deal from Blue Nile. Contacted Blue Nile rep by phone and she was personable helpful and accurate. Shipping was exceptionally quick, almost overnight.
Happy 30th Anniversary
Items were exactly as described. Excellent quality at good value. She loves the earrings and wears them all the time.
Beautiful Earrings
I bought these for my daughter as a graduation present. She loves them. We are both happy about the screw on backs - so much safer than the normal ones.
My wife loves these earrings!
These earrings were the perfect Mothers day gift for my wife and she loved them! I was unsure how big they would actually be, but when she put them on they look huge! The stones are beautiful and the earrings themselves are of high quality. I have purchased diamonds and other jewelry from Blue Nile too, and the great service and quality keeps me coming back every time.
I saved time and money and my daughter got exactly what she wanted.
I let my daugher create her own 21st birthday gift - after hours and hours of mall shopping. This was the perfect solution - she got exactly what she wanted and I didn't have any further hassles. The diamonds are beautiful, the quality is superior. The delivery was next day at no additional cost. Perfect experience all the way around.

The report, which was released by the Subcommittee of the Alabama Drug Abuse Task Force, showed sales of Pseudoephedrine (PSE)/ephedrine have gone down in Alabama, while blocked sales of the drug have gone up.
Lawmakers passed legisation in 2012 that made several changes in how Pseudoephedrine — a major component in meth — could be purchased in the state. The drug can now only be purchased in a pharmacy, and someone purchasing the drug must have a valid Alabama driver's license. Pharmacies are also using the National Precursor Log Exchange system (NPLEx) to electronically track the purchases of the drug.
The report compares total grams sold January through March 2012 to the same time period this year. Last year, 917,474.899 grams were sold compared to 856,229.230 this year.
A blocked sale is when a retailer blocks the sale of the drug that would exceed any law, which is 3.6 grams per day and 7.5 grams in 30 days, according to federal law.
When a transaction is submited by a retailer that would exceed the limits, a message is instantly sent to the retailer recommending denial of the sale.
During the first quarter of 2013, blocked sales totaled 69,121.334, compared to 48,194.852 in 2012.
Sen. Greg Reed (R-Jasper), a member of the eight-person subcommittee, said he feels the analysis shows the changes made are helping to fight the meth problem across Alabama.
"We recognized the problem with meth was a terrible crisis," he said. "It's a crisis here in my district as well as around the state. We looked at our options and went with what we thought was the best way to attack the problem."
The study showed Walker County as the No. 7 county for per capita sold PSE/ephedrine products in the first quarter of 2012. During that time period, total grams sold in the county were 19,191.4.
During the same time period in 2013, Walker County is now in the Top 10 counties for per capita blocked PSE/ephedrine products.
"The numbers are proof that this is working right here in Walker County," Reed said. "We are not finished. We still have a serious problem with meth here, and we will continue to work to see what more can be done to solve this issue."
The report also used information from the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences and the Alabama Narcotics Officers Association to show the number of meth labs in Alabama have dropped significantly from the first half of 2011 to now
Walker County District Attorney Bill Adair said he has not witnessed a decrease in this area.
"Our number of meth cases have not dropped," he said. "Personally, I would like to see Pseudoephedrine made a controlled substance so people would need a prescription to buy it. I understand the Legislature couldn't reach a consensus on that, so they did what they could. It's helped some, but we still have a major problem."
Barry Matson, chairman of the Alabama Drug Abuse Task Force and member of the subcommittee, said the report is proof that law enforcement, industry and political leadership can come together on a policy to have a positive impact on the state.
"Unfortunately, until demand for meth is reduced, illegal meth use (and all of its peripheral social ills) will continue to prevail in Alabama and across the country," he said. "The ADATF and its subcommitees will continue to strive for ways to prevent diversion of PSE/ephedrine medications."

Youth Birding Competition
Annual Youth Birding Competition
The tentative dates for the 2015 YBC are April 25-26. Check back here for updates!
What is it?
The Youth Birding Competition is a 24-hour birding event during the peak of spring migration. Youth teams spend the day finding as many species as they can as they compete against teams their own age. The competition is capped off with a wildlife show and awards banquet.
When is it?
The 2014 event is April 25-26. Teams will use as much or as little of this 24-hour period as they like, as long as they cross the finish line and turn in their list by 5 p.m. Registration is open, and the deadline to register is March 31.
Why start at 5 p.m. Friday?
This allows younger or more low-key teams to look for owls in the evening on Friday rather than get up at midnight. It also allows older crazier teams to bird the coast on Friday, and then work up to Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center on Saturday.
Where is it?
Visit as much or as little of the state of Georgia as you want, as long as you make it to Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center by 5 p.m. to turn in your list. Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center is in Mansfield, Ga., about one hour east of Atlanta (locator map). All events will be at the Conference Center Banquet Hall (map).
Do you need to be an expert?
No! We can pair your team with an experienced birder (mentor) to help you learn about the birds before the competition. (Please note that during the competition, only youth participants can identify birds.)
Who does it benefit?
Your team can use this event to raise money for the Georgia Wildlife Conservation Fund – the main fund for the Nongame Conservation Section – or for the conservation organization of your choice.
Are there prizes?
Of course! For each age group (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12th grades) teams will compete for the most birds seen and the most money raised. Grand Prizes include new binoculars for the team finding the most birds. There will be door prizes for almost all of the participants.
How much does it cost?
Participation is absolutely FREE, unless you plan to spend Friday night (April 25, 2014) at Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center, in which case lodging costs will be factored.
FREE to all participants:
PRIZES (by age division):
Back by popular demand!

Dodge Motorsports Gets New Name, New NASCAR Entry for 2013
by Pete Misiak
As final preparations are made for Sunday's Daytona 500, the Dodge and SRT (Street and Racing Technology) brands are adding to the excitement of "The Great American Race" by announcing three significant events that will impact its place in NASCAR.
First, Dodge Motorsports is getting a new name. It will now be known as SRT Motorsports, and will include all of Chrysler Group's NASCAR racing efforts for Dodge and Ram. The engineering and marketing teams are also included under the new SRT Motorsports umbrella.
Next, Beth Paretta has been named as the Director of the SRT Brand and Motorsports Marketing and Operations. Paretta joins SRT from Aston Martin, where most recently she served as Operations Manager for Aston Martin Lagonda, overseeing sales, marketing, service and events in eastern North America. In 2009, Paretta was included in AutoWeek magazine's list of "10 Secret People" of the auto industry.
Finally, the SRT Motorsports team will unveil its new Dodge Charger designed for 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series competition on Sunday, March 11 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
"It's been another remarkable effort by our SRT Motorsports design and engineering teams and Penske Racing, working together with NASCAR, to achieve a Dodge Charger that embodies so many of the characteristics of the production version," said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – SRT Brand and Motorsports. "Our team is confident that even with the iconic design features incorporated into the Sprint Cup car, there has been no compromise in the area of competition."
Gilles adds that along with the 2013 Sprint Cup Series car displayed at LVMS, there will be a production 2012 Dodge Charger R/T on site, giving fans and the media an opportunity to see the many features of the production Charger that have been incorporated into the new race car.

I think this is a bad decision. Almost nobody I know has a clue what SRT is. I think Chrysler needs to stop the foolish name-changing stuff and put its effort into supporting more Nascar teams! The Daytona 500 is a good example of why. After only a few laps, 2 of the 3 Dodges were basically out of the race and, without any Dodge team-mates on the track, Brad K finished way down the roster. Chrysler needs to stop the foolish games with name changes that us fans don't even understand the need for and start supporting some more Nascar teams. We need MORE Dodges/Rams on the Nascar circuit to watch on weekends!
tr4petty Mar 1, 2012, 10:03 PM
Great! Now they have NO Nascar teams (sarcasm)!!! Penske announced today that they were switching to Ford because they needed other teams to benchmark during the season. I told you guys that you needed to add teams! Now 2012 is a throw-away season and 2013 is in jeopardy of having no credible Dodge teams on the roster! How sad is that?!?!?!?!?!?
boknowsu Sep 16, 2012, 10:52 PM
Dodge has really let all of its fans and mopar owners down. We needed more teams and we no teams. Of course we need to ask Penske what more could he want, his dodges has finished in the top all season long an now Brad k. is in the chase and leads in points. I don;t see why they need other team support when they are beating everyone and Ford does not even finish in any of the top spots. Goodbye Mopar and goodbye Nascar.

An 11-year-old boy who went missing in Spring Hill Tuesday night was found just hours later at a local Papa John's. Terrell Davis, the pizzeria's general manager, spotted Ben Tipton near the restaurant on Main Street around 10:45 p.m. Davis and a few other employees were taking a break after a busy night of making and delivering pizzas when they spotted Ben. "I was squinting looking up that way and Helen [another employee] was looking there too. We were trying to figure out what it was that was moving so fast," he said.Davis said he ran after the boy who darted behind a building. "I found him and I asked him what his name was, he told me it was Ben. He asked me who I was and I told him who I was," said Davis. "Then I asked him if his last name was Tipton. He said yes, so I just picked him up and said people are looking for you man. Come on, let's go home."An employee quickly called 911. Davis said Spring Hill police were there almost immediately.Police have since said they credit social media for helping locate Ben so quickly. "My husband and I took to social media, to Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and really started sharing the pictures," said Spring Hill resident Rachel Cooper.Before being found by Davis, Ben was last seen on his bike with a backpack leaving his home in the Pipkin Hill's subdivision around 2:30 p.m. His bike was located at the Kroger shopping center at Haynes Crossing off of Port Royal Road around 6:30 p.m. An AMBER Alert was issued just before 8 p.m.As word spread of his disappearance, volunteers quickly gathered to help in the search. "We're [a close community]. That's why we have so many volunteers out here. The community is coming together and we appreciate that," Spring Hill police Lt. Justin Whitwell said.Ben's family pastor added, Craig Evans of Spring Hill Church of Christ said he and 300 members of the congregation took part in the search. He said he spent the day with the Tipton family Wednesday and spoke on closure during his mid-week church message. "What did we learn last night? We learned how much we can love one child. We learned how we can come together for one purpose," Evans said. News 2 spoke with Ben's mother, Susan who did not want to speak on camera, but did say she is overwhelmed by the community's support. Spring Hill police, the Tennessee Highway Patrol and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation all assisted in the search. Authorities also used a helicopter to search for Tipton. Police tell News 2 that Ben ran away from home after an argument with his parents.

Very quick napkin math regarding set bonuses.
Assuming stagger is always ticking on you, on average the 4pc BM set bonus gives you one free chi every 10 seconds (which can only be used to PB).
2pc WW on average gives 10 energy every 6.67 chi generator, which all cost 40 energy (ignore CJL). So after 26.67 attacks you've generated enough bonus energy for one extra chi. Assuming 15 energy/sec regen, that would take 72 seconds.
Not really a contest, assuming you are staggering damage. That said, BM bonuses look REALLY good. With the mastery buff, if you went for like 15k mastery with t15 gear, you'd be approaching 90% stagger with fort brew and 2pc up.
I think that 2pc may change the way we use Elusive Brew. I'm not certain on that, mind you, but if we use EB at 5 stacks, that's 5 seconds of EB and 5 seconds of 2-piece with only a 9-second cooldown on EB. I don't think current gear provides crit chances that can quite support 100% uptime of EB/2-piece, but it may be possible next tier. If that does become a possibility, this will provide significant damage reduction over the course of a fight.
With secondary stat values increasing with item levels inflation, 4pc t15 providing a free PB every 10 seconds (kind of), and Chi-based heals now being free, maintaining 100% Shuffle uptime should be the easiest thing in the world come 5.2, and 2pc t15 creating another buff to struggle with managing 100% uptime on is a mechanic that should prove rewarding and potentially challenging.
4. 2T15 increases value of crit for BMs until EB's uptime reaches 50% in the long run. Afterwards it's value should be lower. Still higher than it is now, I guess. After buffs to mastery and removal of T30 Chi cost, I will have a chunk of stats available, and now I know where to put them
Yes. Well said, I think the most basic mathematical analysis for this 2pc is that it puts a soft cap on the value of EB at 50% uptime. It also obviously improves the value of critical strike rating as a damage reduction statistic.
Now, what crit change is required for 50% uptime? That is a function of weapon type (which controls EB procs per crit) and swing speed. Sticking with simplicity, let's say it's a perfect 2.0 swing speed with a polearm, so 3 stacks per crit. To achieve perfect uptime, we need to land two crits every twelve seconds. Two of every six attacks must crit, meaning we need 33% crit chance, plus another 3% to make up for crit suppression on bosses, so 36%. That's actually not a high value, but it also assumes perfectly even spacing on crits, which is a completely unreasonable expectation.
So, I feel that, if you have a perfect 2.0 swing speed, aiming for ~36% crit is the minimum value of crit to shoot for once you have acquired t15 2-piece. Now, once weapon speeds shift around, that's where it gets murky.
There's math to be done.

No matter what your age, the experience of going to Santa Rosa Junior College got a lot better since Heritage Public House opened nearby.
For the past 13 years, the building was a Video Droid store, and long-time Santa Rosans will remember it as the Copper Penny. But the place has been gutted and refashioned into exactly what hard-working students — and faculty — would want in a hangout they will likely dub the Pub.
First, they'd want something good to eat. Yes, the place serves pub grub, but not the grease fest you find at too many pubs. People today — especially here in Sonoma County — are enlightened to the virtues of local, seasonal and organic food cooked with care. We've all eaten at restaurants where the vegetables are an overcooked afterthought, but the plentiful veggies on this menu are alive with fresh flavors.
Heritage Public House
The dishes seem well thought-out. A Pulled Pork Sandwich ($9, 3 stars), for instance, filled a hoagie roll to overflowing with tender meat and spicy, smoky barbecue sauce. Cauliflower florets and onions were pickled with beet juice, coloring them a glowing fuchsia. There was cracking-fresh cole slaw on the side, plus a big cube of corn bread, and the plate was decorated with a hop blossom and a snapdragon flower.
While brewpubs are all the rage these days, this pub takes a different approach. It taps 24 craft beers, ales and hard ciders, all exclusively from California. Given the proximity to the junior college, you'd think underage drinking might be a problem. But the bar staff has taken training courses in preventing that, and the management — general manager Roman d'Argenzio and marketing manager Erlina Othman — points out that the average age of the school's 32,000 daytime students is 26 and 21,000 night-class students is 28. So there's plenty of legal business at hand.
This being a pub, the several flat-screen TVs carry sports. There's a bandstand for live music and a (loud) sound system playing mostly rock. The bar is made of brick and mortar, the ceiling and some walls are finished in rescued barn wood to give a rustic feel to the place, and there's an outside beer garden graced by hop vines overhead. Inside, several large tables made for the Pub from salvaged wood can seat groups of family or friends, plus there are some intimate booths and tables. A back wall is decorated with tap handles proclaiming brands of beer, and a pool table with a red felt surface has a separate room of its own.
