CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) - A local outreach group is calling on the community for support.
The Union Gospel Mission has seen a 5% drop in donations in the last two years.
The group takes in homeless people off the streets, and helps them to get back on their feet.
The group can house 16 people at a time but depend on community support in order to keep providing.
The Union Gospel Mission hopes to bring in $50,000 - $100,000 to help get them through the next year

- " The location is great, and the staff are extremely helpful, but that was about the extent of it. The room was oppressively hot, the air conditioner did not work, and the single fan barely turned, even set on high. WiFi only worked in the reception. More of a party hostel, filled with drunk teenagers climbing onto the roof to drink more. Worth it for the location, maybe, but if you aren't a college kid looking to party, you might be better looking for an apartment or room to rent. "

Fidel Castro is one of the great men of the past fifty years. Even his bitterest enemies acknowledge this by their continuing attempts to destroy the man and the revolution he is identified with. In 2003, journalist Ignacio Ramonet, editor of Le monde diplomatique, began a series of lengthy conversations with Fidel that were recently published in English. This collection of interviews taking place over two years, titled Fidel Castro: My Life, is a history and autobiography of a man who is not only a revolutionary, but the leader of a country that has maintained its national integrity and independence in the face of one of history's longest economic blockades and has stared down the biggest empire in the history of humankind while doing so.
My Life is not necessarily a balanced account of Fidel or the Cuban revolution, but then again it is an autobiography. That means the subject is telling his version of events. At the same time it is not an egocentric adventure in braggadocio. The picture that comes across in these (almost) 700 pages of interviews is of a man who strives to maintain his humility, refuses to take credit for events and programs that he rightly credits to the Cuban people and their government, and still retains a sense of humor about his history and his legacy. This isn't to say there are not flashes of arrogance or elements of egoism, yet the picture that emerges is of a man quite aware of the potential for someone of his stature to allow human frailties such as these to overcome his better self. Indeed, the struggle against those frailties appears on these pages, too.
Despite the neverending attempts by the Cubans that left
Ramonet asks Fidel tough questions regarding
Some of the most historically interesting sections of the book include his reminiscences of Che and the early days of the revolution. His account of the failed attempt on the Moncado barracks in 1953 and the time the rebels spent in the Sierra Maestro after Fidel's release from prison in 1956 are revealing in that they show how a revolutionary must learn from their mistakes. This segment is, among other things, an intelligent multilayered defense of the Cuban revolution and Fidel's commitment to that revolution. Details of episodes in Cuban and Latin American history are provided that are important not only for their source and the new facts they involve, but also because of Fidel's way of placing them in a historical context many readers may not have known or considered. His recollections of various world leaders he has locked horns with or met and worked with are objective and respectful. His commentary on the current situation of the world reveals a man whose mind is sharp and whose thinking is framed by an understanding of economics and history and is driven by a desire for economic and social justice.
Fidel exhibits a sense of history rarely found among US political leaders. Even on those rare occasions that a mainstream political figure appears in the
People on the left should read this book. Even if they (rightly or wrongly) disagree with Fidel, they will find his ideas and belief in humanity inspiring. People in the middle of the political spectrum should read it too. They will walk away with a new understanding of the Cuban revolution and, more importantly, a different way of perceiving their world. People on the right should also read it. They will walk away with a new respect for a man and country that is their most stalwart foe.

Sir Peter Scott Fund project: Lubombo Spine Wildlife Corridor, Swaziland
'Lubombo Spine Wildlife Corridor, Swaziland'
Project gallery
Objectives and background
- To carry out bush clearance and fencing (Phase One) which will contribute to the creation of the Lubombo Spine Wildlife Corridor. This corridor will allow elephants and other wildlife to follow natural migration routes once again.
With the reduction in space for elephants and other wildlife as a result of human settlements and agriculture, and the subsequent fragmentation of suitable habitats, the creation of wildlife corridors becomes of paramount importance to conservation efforts. Wildlife corridors allow connectivity between previously isolated ecosystems, link conservation areas, and enable wildlife to migrate freely between different habitats, thus enhancing population viability and biodiversity in the connected areas.
The aim of this project, funded by the Sir Peter Scott Fund/Kate Sanderson bequest and coordinated by Space For Elephants (www.space4elephants.org), is to establish Phase One towards the final objective of The Lubombo Spine Corridor. This will link the Swaziland TFCA (Trans Frontier Conservation Area) with the iSimangoliso (formerly Greater St Lucia) Wetland Park, a World Heritage Site, through Pongola Game Reserve and Mkuze Game Reserve, including Senekal private land and Nkosi Myeni traditional authority.
This concept has the approval of all the relevant authorities. Consultation has taken place with the edge communities (Nkosi Myeni Traditional Authority) and other land-owners. This community has agreed to add a substantial area of their land to increase the size of the corridor for Elephant and Rhino range expansion. A land-owner adjacent to the corridor, Keith Stannard, has ceded his adjoining land to be included into the PongolaPoort Nature Reserve, part of the corridor.
When Phase One of the Lubombo Spine project is complete, some 65 elephants and 15 black rhino will be roaming a newly established well-secured and monitored habitat for endangered species protection, supported by the edge communities.

New to PHP, trying to create table that order themselves
Hey Guys,
I am new to this forum and started learning PHP and SQL. I recently bought a book and started learning it because I wanted to use it for my website.
My main goal is to create a table with links that can be order by most viewed, best rated etc. (like when you type in a product on ebay and can then sort the results by best match price etc.)
So my question is if this is possible just by using PHP and SQL and how advanced is this concept (can i implement this after reading one book on sql and php?).
An additional question is if it is possible to implement a rating system for the different links in my database and how advanced that concept is. (with rating system i mean a simple 'like or dislike' system, and i would hope that my data base can calculate a percentage or likes to dislike.)
Thx all!

To do this, you would need to have to order the SQL results based on which the user selects, eg: if they select name, you would need to userCode:
ORDER BY name

Welcome to SitePoint
As Works says, the brunt of this task lies on SQL's shoulders; the PHP side of things can be relatively simple; You just need to figure out what you want to be order-able and then make sure your database has the means to do so.Never grow up. The instant you do, you lose all ability to imagine great things, for fear of reality crashing in.

- dinner for fivegeezer101Dined on 8/16/2014A mixed party of five, we had a variety of seafood and meat entrées, preceded by salads and topped off with desserts. All were outstanding. The table service was excellent; well-timed and courteous. Prices were reasonable given the overall quality of the food and service. The sole mis-step was a host who addressed me rudely when we sought to change our reserved table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Do not order the shrimp pasta dishNomnom1Dined on 8/16/2014Served in a burnt skillet.. Awful! The wait staff were happy and efficient. The dining space and bar is very nice.
- Great dinner!ScrumptiousDined on 8/9/2014We had such a fantastic dinner! Every dish was absolutely delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/5/2014Of the several places we ate in La Jolla, this was my overall favorite, beating out many of the higher priced, more well-known options. It is relaxed, with a very inventive menu, and preparations which merged Japanese and Mexican cuisines in a fun, surprising, and really tasty manner! The service is impeccable and very, very welcoming. I would return in a heartbeat!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what we expectedOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/2/2014We ate at The Hake our last night in La Jolla and while it was good it wasn't what we expected. The wait staff were very nice but they seemed to be constantly running between the tables and we were not able to relax in that atmosphere. I ordered the Bone-in Rosemary Crusted Pork Chop. First there was no bone in my pork chop. It was pounded thin and so breaded it looked like a chicken fried steak. I didn't taste any rosemary at all. It didn't taste bad but I didn't think it was what was described on the menu. My husband's dinner, the side vegetables and dessert were good.
- Great experienceTdrumDined on 8/2/2014This was the first time visiting The Hake and it did not disappoint. We decided to go with a trio of small plates/starters/appetizers, something I highly recommend when visiting a restaurant for the first time. The octopus, mussels, and shrimp & calamari were all excellent not to mention pretty big portions for starters. Great service from our waitress and she had some good insight too. The craft cocktails were also VERY VERY good.Special Features:

- First time La Jolla visitorGgsharkbaitDined on 8/2/2014Welcoming arrival always sets the stage. My table request was honored-another plus. And...we had a great dinner with perfect service. What more can we ask for?Special Features:
- Nice surpriseFoodieFreakVIPDined on 7/31/2014This new-ish restaurant in La Jolla was a nice surprise. The food is very good ... we made a meal from a large selection of small plates and all were delish. The one downer was that our server appeared to be a novice. He tried hard but made several mistakes ... brought only one gazpacho when two were ordered; substituted one tuna dish for another; didn't offer the wine to be tasted before he poured it. Another waiter who came by a few times seemed more experienced/professional. Hopefully, the newbie will learn .. before our next visit!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never Disappoints!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 7/31/2014We LOVE this restaurant! It is always consistent with quality and taste. Our daughter was in town to visit and she loves to come back here. The Hamachi melts in your mouth and the flavor is such a blend of ingredients - it's difficult to describe - you just have to try it! The Tuna steak sandwich was great as well as the greek sandwich - one of our regular staples. The cheese potatoes, fries and ceviche are also FABULOUS! We also always have to have at least one Mandarine Mule while here! While no view, the service is always very attentive and we just can't say enough about how much we enjoy eating here. Of course, we'll be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor food qualityOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/27/2014Service was good, but the brunch was horrible. Both the meat and the vegetable (broccoli) were completely dry. Definitely not planning on returning.
- The Hake always pleasesDavidVIPDined on 7/26/2014We can always count on The Hake to deliver quality food in a pleasant setting, served promptly by accommodating servers. This restaurant is on our regular visit list.Special Features:

- Excellent steak fritesOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 7/25/2014We loved our dinner, and our waitress was wonderful! Our children loved their Shirley temple drinks, and my Pinot noir was excellent. The best part of dinner was our entree, steak frites! A smashing success for all four of us!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, too noisyReturndinerDined on 7/23/2014Food was quite good but the place is all hard surfaces and too harshly noisy for our comfort even when not really full, so we won't return for now. Service was amiable and generally very attentive, but waitperson didn't mention they were out of swordfish, one of just a few main course fish, making selection disappointing. Hamachi starter was excellent, shrimp tacos just ok. Octopus very nicely grilled, tender, excellent flavor and interesting sides- would be better as a starter than a main. Extensive selection of beers & wine list also appeared good.
- Love Hake.2foodloversDined on 7/21/2014We love the food and like to bring friends, who always love it. I also love to come with friends so we can try more dishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Loved this restaurant!KazsezDined on 7/19/2014I love everything about this retro chic basement restaurant on Prospect. The decor, food, service and ambiance make this spot a real find for me. There are several seating options: inside, the front basement patio or the leafy side patio adjacent to a courtyard. If you can't decide, you can sit (as we did) next to the open floor to ceiling patio doors and enjoy being inside with the feel of outdoors! My husband and I went for brunch on Saturday and were offered infused water as soon as we sat down - great start! The eclectic selection of delicious brunch items was so tempting I was hard pressed to select one, but we both opted for airy light and delicious open faced omelets and a side of amazing lemon ricotta crepes. Love The Hake!Special Features:
- Creative Appetizersluv2dineVIPDined on 7/18/2014We went for happy hour and were pleased with our experience. We ordered a bottle of wine (20% off) and happy hour appetizers at very reasonable prices. We had the Spanish Bikini, Avocado Tacos, Angus Beef Sliders from the Happy Hour Menu and the Rib-eye Lettuce Wrap from the Dinner Menu. All were different & tasty…a pleasant surprise. The sliders were our favorites. The wine was very nice as was the table water (infused with cucumber, mint & melon). We will definitely go back and try some entrees at some point.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodGerhardDined on 7/17/2014Food and service was perfect. The interior was very nice. Just didn't care for the patio area which was the inside of the mall. Otherwise perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/16/2014service was slow, but general manger did send over a complimentary dessert. No one in the restaurant at lunch time. They may want to just open for dinner.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent food, terrible service.DinersDined on 7/12/2014We dined for brunch on what looked like a very slow day. Only a few other tables were occupied. Despite the restaurant being nearly empty, the waitress never came back to check on us after the food was served. The server never asked how we were doing or if we needed anything else. My out of town guests asked for coffee refills three times before she received a refill. Her cup went empty multiple times. The food orders arrived cold and we asked to have the food warmed up, which the server did. Food was decent after it came out the second time. Upon leaving the restaurant, the server saw us leaving but did not acknowledge or thank us. Even though we had a Travelzoo deal we should not be treated like this.
- Appetizers!ScottVIPDined on 7/10/2014We order appetizers only and made a meal of it. No need for entrees with all of the great choices. Get the Hamachi.Special Features:
- Just deliciousSuwifiDined on 7/9/2014We had several tapas, followed by the whole snapper (shared among 3 of us). Everything was delicious. There is no ocean view here but the food is worth it. The waitstaff was attentive & friendly.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love the HakeFoodieJudyDined on 7/7/2014This is our second time at the Hake and it won't be the last. Yes, it's pricey but you walk away feeling well-fed and well cared for. The food is excellent and a fresh take on seafood. The presentation is beautiful and the menu is creative and inspiring. Don't miss out on this terrific La Jolla find.Special Features:

- Fun and DeliciousfoodienewbieVIPDined on 7/2/2014Loved the combination of rustic and modern. Got some great drink recommendations and loved the burrata and the roasted octopus. The shrimp fideo was good but not so much our taste.Special Features:
- noise is a mixed bagWillowVIPDined on 6/26/2014we were a group of 6 for happy hour. And there were several other groups there at the same time. So, it was very noisy, which on one hand means it is popular - but did make conversation difficult. If you want to talk though, ask for a table away from the bigger bar tables. The food was excellent and worth the trip, especially the tuna tostadas and the avocado tacos - tiny morsels of deliciousness.Special Features:
- New Neighborhood GemKennyDVIPDined on 6/25/2014What a super surprise to discover The Hake in the heart of La Jolla downtown with easy valet parking available. The French bistro decor and atmosphere is refreshing, the food and favors delectable and the service warm, caring and friendly. I can't wait to go back since one feels like it is ones own dining room, relaxed and inviting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Find!KimmieDined on 6/15/2014We initially made the reservations from a Travelzoo deal; however, it wasn't honored because it was Father's Day. (I didn't read the fine print!) We stayed anyway and the food, drinks, and ambience was fabulous! With so many choices in la Jolla (and the hassle of getting in and out of the village!), the Hake is a treasure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Outstanding SeafoodSDMTNDined on 6/9/2014So far as I can tell, The Hake is the best seafood restaurant I've been to in San Diego. This was my second trip to The Hake, and once again the food was spectacular. Everything we ordered was expertly prepared, and quite delicious. Our server seemed new, and service seemed somewhat slow; I know that could be the result of many factors, but I do suspect that it was due to our server, since once we placed our food order things seemed to speed up. It was certainly not enough to prevent us coming back, just something to note if you're looking to be in and out in any sort of hurry. Our party of four were there for just about two hours, and we ordered appetizers and dessert.Special Features:
- MenuOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/7/2014Menu was strange and without basic favorites or usual items.
- You have to eat hereTjrixDined on 6/4/2014We were visiting from out of town and went to the Hake for dinner. We sat out on their little patio. The food was amazing, so good in fact, we went back a second time in the same week. Dan, the manager, made sure our dining experience was enjoyable and the wait staff was very attentive without being obtrusive. We had the swordfish with lemon risotto the first night. The swordfish was very well prepared and was flaky and tender. The lemon risotto went perfect with it. The second visit I had the steak frittes and my son had the pork chop. Again the preparations were wonderful. You also should try the shaved ribeye lettuce wraps appetizer and the key lime pie is to die for. Overall I would highly recommend this little gem.Special Features:

SHEPHERDSVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A woman killed in an accident involving a utility trunk and a car on Kentucky 44 Monday morning has been identified, according to the Shepherdsville Police Department.
Investigators said at 10:55 a.m. Betty Spriggs, 78, was traveling westbound on KY 44 in a white sedan when she lost control, crossed into oncoming traffic and was hit by a Salt River RECC utility truck.
Both vehicles left the roadway and the utility truck landed partially on top of Spriggs' car. The utility truck driver was helped to safety by neighbors, who also tried to assist Spriggs.
Beverly Dillander who lives nearby said, "It made me feel awful, because I couldn't help him."
Josh Burgess said he come across the street when he heard about the commotion, "Somebody else came in here, grabbed a broom and pushed the airbag away so she could breathe and then the nurse checked for a pulse then after that she just kind of took her last two breaths and passed away."
Shepherdsville police said Spriggs was pronounced dead at the scene. The utility truck driver was taken to an area hospital. Their injuries have not been released.
Police are asking anyone with information concerning this collision to call the Shepherdsville Police Department at (502) 957-1001 or (502) 921-1000, or to call the anonymous tip line at (502) 215-1588.

Inhibiting an enzyme called SUV39H1 in mice limited the development of allergic asthma—an effect that might be translatable to humans, according to investigators.
(Click here to listen to a Pulmonary Reviews audiocast in which Rhys Allan, PhD, discusses his DNA research in a mouse model of allergic asthma.)
In a mouse study, inhibiting an enzyme called SUV39H1 affected the DNA of T helper 2 (Th2) cells and limited their ability to promote allergic asthma, according to a report in the July 12 Nature. This finding suggests that SUV39H1 could be a target of treatments for allergic asthma and other obstructive pulmonary diseases in humans, the researchers said.
"In cases of allergic asthma or other Th2 inflammatory diseases, there can definitely be an advantage in using the inhibitor of this enzyme," Rhys Allan, PhD, of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Parkville, Australia, told Pulmonary Reviews. "We're doing preliminary work in mouse models, so it needs to be tested in other organisms. But we know this enzyme has an important role in humans, as well. So, yes, we think that the work should be translatable."
Allan and colleagues performed their research at Institut Curie Research Center in Paris.
The researchers set out the investigate which enzymes are involved in silencing or activating gene regulatory networks that control T helper cells, Allan said. They focused specifically on Th2 cells because these cells are known to promote allergic asthma.
Through in vitro studies, the researchers found that SUV39H1 plays an important role in controlling the function of Th2 cells by silencing the cells' alternative pathways, such as T helper 1 (Th1) genes. "Then, by using a mouse model of allergic asthma, we basically found that the Th2 cells, when they were lacking this enzyme, were destabilized, and they weren't able to promote allergic asthma to the same extent that normal Th2 cells were able to," Allan said.
Next, the researchers used an inhibitor of SUV39H1 in mice. "We added the inhibitor at the time of sensitization to the antigen and into the intranasal pathway," Allan explained. "We found that every time we used it, we saw a reduction in the mucus production in the airways. The immune response was skewed toward the Th1 response, rather than being solely focused on Th2 response, as it normally is." When SUV39H1 is inhibited, cells may be unable to recruit eosinophils and other allergy-promoting immune cells into the airways, he suggested.
There will need to be a number of additional animal studies before SUV39H1 inhibition can be tested as an asthma treatment for humans, Allan said.
In the meantime, his team is focusing on other components of epigenetic circuitry. "There are many different enzymes which play very important roles in gene regulation," Allan said. "And the beauty of this is that there can always be inhibitors of the enzymatic function."

The trials and tribulations of the people (and puppets) in the neighborhood.
Minimum group tickets order is 10 or more seats.
What is Avenue Q Like?
Picture a grown-up episode of Sesame Street, with satirical songs ("It Sucks To Be Me") and jokes replacing preschool-style banter. The actors remain visible at all times and mimic the action of their puppets, adding yet another level of humor. Avenue Q is fast-moving and laugh-packed, particularly for audiences willing to embrace its rebellious, politically incorrect spirit.
Is Avenue Q Good for Kids?
In spite of the presence of Henson-esque puppets, Avenue Q is not a children's musical. Explicit language is used throughout, two of the puppet characters have sex onstage, one character wrestles with his sexuality and one dirty ditty declares, "The internet is for porn." Older teenagers will enjoy the show because it tackles issues of growing up and leaving home, but parents should use discretion in deciding whether their kids are mature enough for Avenue Q.

PARIS (AP) - Fashion retailer H&M has pulled a vest from its shelves worldwide after accusations of its design, which featured a menacing skull in the center of a Star of David, was anti-Semitic.
The menswear item, which was withdrawn this week following complaints, was also destined for sale in Israel, where the retailer has 14 stores.
H&M, a Swedish company, said in a statement Friday: "We are sincerely sorry if the T-shirt print has offended anyone, it was not our intention to provoke such a reaction."
European Jewish Congress President Moshe Kantor welcomed the garment's withdrawal, calling it a "thoughtless and insensitive design."
Kantor said he hoped "that the symbols of the Jewish People will be given the same care as those of other minority groups."

Dean Stoneman looking good ahead of GP3 debut with Marussia Manor Racing
Updated 12:18pm Tuesday 22nd April 2014 in Sport
DEAN Stoneman enjoyed a successful two-day test in the Spanish sun as he prepares for the start of the GP3 season.
The Southampton-based driver produced the fastest lap (1.36.312) while training with the Marussia Manor Racing GP3 team in Barcelona, where the GP3 season begins on May 10/11.
Stoneman, the 2010 F2 Champion, was joined by leading motorsport engineer Peter Berry who has successfully worked with many F1 drivers, including Daniel Ricciardo, Sebastian Vettel's new Red Bull teammate.
The 23 year-old also worked with experienced racer and driver coach Kelvin Burt. "With us racing here in a few weeks it was vital that we were on the pace," said Stoneman.
"I'm really confident now that we have a package to be competitive this year.
"We've worked really hard to make a big step forward with the car. "It was great to have Peter (Berry) on board, his expertise really helped us understand the car better. I'm really looking forward to working with him and Kelvin (Burt)."
The first race of the GP3 season will be held on the same weekend as the Spanish Grand Prix.

The Memphis Grizzlies took a stranglehold against the Los Angeles Clippers with a Game 5 win made possible by playing lock-down defense and neutralizing one of the game's most-dynamic playmakers, Chris Paul.
For more on this story, visit Grizzly Bear Blues
How they managed to do it is of greater interest, however, as the Clippers are normally a dynamic team on the offensive end of the floor, especially at home.
Marc Gasol was in true NBA Defensive Player of the Year form throughout the night as he and Zach Randolph dominated the inside and made things difficult for the Clips inside. Making matters worse for Los Angeles was the fact that All-Star forward Blake Griffin was missing late in the game after apparently aggravating a high ankle sprain suffered in practice earlier in the week.
Even with Gasol blocking two shots and changing numerous others, it's the team defensive stats that tell the story for the Grizzlies' signature win. They blocked a total of seven shots, grabbed 14 offensive rebounds that resulted in a whopping 19 second-chance points. The only thing they didn't do particularly well from a team standpoint was stopping the speedy Clippers squad in transition by allowing 18 fast break points.
Memphis recognizes that even with Gasol, it still takes a total effort.
"We play hard, we play together," said Randolph following the game. "We play our team concept. Guys just stay in their role."
That balance was clear on both ends of the floor as defense gave way to more possessions and an efficient offense for the Grizzlies, who scored 46 points in the paint and turned the ball over just seven times.
"Defense cannot be only two or three guys," Gasol added. "All five are engaged. It's not just Q [Quincy Poindexter] or Mike [Conley] or me. Everybody who comes into the game has that mindset."
That mindset -- one of rotating, communicating and keying in on superstars like Chris Paul served them well in Game 5, and the trend should continue in Game 6 on Friday.
"We have to treat it like another game like tonight," Randolph said.

Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. may soon know his fate with the federal government.
On Thursday, FOX 32 first reported the congressman would spend some time in jail and he may be ready to sign off on a plea agreement.
Jackson is a free man for now, but how long will that last? Source close to the family tell FOX 32's Darlene Hill that if he hasn't already reached an agreement with the feds, he's pretty close.
One of the things he was asking for was a disability package and sources say, he got it.
Before handing in his letter of resignation and giving up his seat in the 2nd District, Jackson applied for his disability package. That was done in mid-October, after Jesse Jackson Jr. checked out of the Mayo Clinic where he was being treated for bi-polar disorder.
Sources say the former congressman received that approval letter in November just days before giving up the congressional seat he'd held since 1995.
The feds have been talking to Jesse Jackson Jr. since the end of April. Sources say he went into a deep depression in June--at times crying uncontrollably. He hired a prominent Chicago attorney in august to negotiate a plea agreement.
At that time, the federal government had two open investigations on the former congressman. One investigation involved "play to pay" politics and if Jackson tried to buy President Barack Obama's former senate seat.
Sources also tell FOX 32 that Jackson Jr. got nervous after the feds questioned him about misusing campaign funds. They want to know where the money came from to remodel the family's South Shore bungalow in Chicago and to pay for a $42,000 Rolex for a female friend.
FOX 32 first reported months ago that Jackson's plea deal would include jail time. Sources also tell FOX 32 that to shave time off his sentence, Jackson may be naming names and giving the feds info on big contributors to his campaign. Sources say one of those donors has already been contacted and questioned by the federal government.
Jackson's wife, former Alderman Sandi Jackson gave her seat in the 7th ward up last month. The federal government is investigating her because sources say she was a paid consultant with the former congressman's campaign operation. She has hired on an attorney and has already met with the feds.
FOX 32's sources also say that Jesse Jackson Jr. is walking away from Congress with pension, where he'll get about 85 percent of his pay and the disability package. If he is convicted of wrongdoing, he will lose that pension.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon has rejected a request by State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. to introduce a regional deductible for homeowner's coverage.
Donelon tells The Advocate (http://bit.ly/V3hIjb ) State Farm, Louisiana' largest insurer, with more than 300,000 homeowner's policies or 29 percent of the market, is the first company to request a regional deductible plan.
The Insurance Department said a regional deductible request must include a business plan that meets 10 criteria, including a plan to write new business in the parish where the regional deductible would be implemented.
In a rejection letter to State Farm dated Nov. 9, Donelon said State Farm's plan made it clear the company did not intend to write any new business in the area where the regional deductible would be put in place.

Skeleton Keys
Look carefully at the bones and teeth. What can they tell you?
Images courtesy: Smithsonian Institution
Before birth, every skeleton begins a unique "bone biography." The living tissue of bone records "life data" as a person grows, lives, and dies. Bones and teeth often withstand decay, so the data may survive long after death. Sometimes, skeletal evidence is the only way to learn about a once-living person. Watch a video about how the solid tissues in our body change as we grow and when we do physical labor.

FGCU Hosts Homewood Suites/Hilton Garden Inn Tournament
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU softball team returns home from its first tournament of the season to host the Homewood Suites/Hilton Garden Inn FGCU Tournament, beginning on Friday at the newly renovated FGCU Softball Complex. Georgetown, Michigan State, Saint Louis, South Carolina and Villanova travel south to face the Eagles.
FGCU (2-3) opens its home schedule against the BIG EAST'S Georgetown at 6 p.m. and then plays Big Ten foe Michigan State at 8:15 p.m. The Eagles then face Saint Louis (6 p.m.) and the SEC's South Carolina (8 p.m.) on Saturday before closing out the tournament with BIG EAST opponent Villanova at 11:15 a.m. on Sunday.
The Blue and Green opened their 2011 season at the USF Wilson-DeMarini Tournament with losses to N.C. State (8-2), No. 5 Florida (6-0) and USF (8-1), but picked up wins against Marshall (1-0) and Long Island (8-2).
FGCU owns a 178-29 (.859) record at the FGCU Softball Complex since it opened in 2004. The Eagles also boast a 41-6 record in tournaments that are hosted at their home field. FGCU will host two more tournaments during the season – the Moe's Blue and Green Invite from February 25-27 and the Stevens Industries FGCU Tournament from March 4-6.
FGCU hitters totaled seven extra-base hits, including home runs from freshmen Kirsten Bembnowski (Palm Harbor, Fla./East Lake) and Brittney Garabedian (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep). Freshman outfielder Jessica Barnes (Winter Haven, Fla./Haines City) drove in a team-high three runs on four hits. Classmate Emily Lanier (St. Cloud, Fla./Harmony) had a team-high on-base percentage (.462), earning three walks and two hits in nine at bats.
Redshirt senior pitcher Catherine McDaniel (Melbourne, Fla./Florida Tech) went 1-1 on the weekend with a 2.05 ERA, striking out nine in 13.2 innings. McDaniel faced the strong offense of No. 5 Florida and only gave up six hits while notching five strikeouts in 6.2 innings. Sophomore Stephanie Sullivan (Venice, Fla./Venice) picked up a win in her first start of the season against Long Island, striking out six while only giving up one earned run.
The Eagles have never played South Carolina or Saint Louis, while they own a 2-0 advantage over Michigan State and Villanova, and a 1-0 record against Georgetown. FGCU last played Michigan State and Georgetown in 2009. The Eagles beat the Hoyas, 9-0, in five innings. FGCU downed Michigan State, 11-7, at FIU and 6-5 in nine innings at FGCU's tournament. Villanova lost to FGCU at its Spring Break Invitational last season, 9-0, in five innings and the FGCU beat Villanova again, 15-8, at the USF tournament.
Michigan State enters the event with a 3-2 mark, with both losses coming against Tennessee during the Stetson Lead-Off Classic. South Carolina also has a 3-2 record after dropping games to USC Upstate and Winthrop. Saint Louis began its season last weekend with a 3-2 mark at the Southeastern Louisiana Lion Classic. Both Georgetown and Villanova are making their 2011 debuts this weekend. Villanova was picked to finish seventh in the BIG EAST race this year, while the Hoyas ranked 13th.
Tickets for the Homewood Suites/Hilton Garden Inn FGCU Tournament can be purchased through the FGCU Ticket Office in Alico Arena either in person or by phone at (239) 590-7145. Tickets are also available at www.FGCUathletics.com/tickets. All Tournament passes, valid for all games during the tournament, will be $10 for adults and $5 for youth (ages 3-18).
With the start of the season comes plenty of special ticket offers and promotions for FGCU fans and students. Little leaguers who wear their jersey get in to all games for free the entire weekend for both baseball and softball with an adult ticket. FGCU faculty, staff and students all get in free throughout the season with their Eagle ID.
The ticket office is also running a Grand Slam special which includes four games for $12. Packages purchased for softball are good for any games through March 2.
FGCU will also be running the "Diamond Dollars" promotion throughout the entire season, which current students are eligible for. Students attending the game will be entered to win $100 if an FGCU player hits the SIP sign on the outfield wall in the air or hits a homerun over the sign. If the game finishes without a winner, the money rolls over to the next game continuing to increase the pot. Winners must have a valid FGCU student ID and be present to win.
Live stats, box scores and recaps for every FGCU contest as well as the other tournament games are available at www.FGCUAthletics.com. Live updates of FGCU's games can also be followed on www.twitter.com/FGCUEagles.

Welcome back to Baseball Nation's favorite GIFs of 2012, a collection of the best moving images used in a Baseball Nation story or post this year. When I was going through the repository of hundreds of GIFs, I realized that, say, some of these are related in an abstract way. And this was the grouping of GIFs that made me realize it.
Because all of these people are doing things they probably didn't have to do.
4. Moisés Sierra isn't helpful
What you have here is the story of two different outfielders doing two different things. Colby Rasmus is trying to a) catch a baseball and b) stay alive. Moisés Sierra is trying to a) stop before running into a wall and b) thrust himself into the nook between the "G" and "E" of a GEICO ad. The first three things are probably necessary. The last one probably is not.
Most players do the jump-kick in a situation like this, stopping their momentum by jumping up and propelling themselves in the other direction, kind of like something from Mario 64. But Sierra decides at the last second that he's going to hit the wall and look cool doing it. Look at that last-second thrust. It's an obvious grab for style points. Then he turned around and realized his teammate went face-first into the wall because of physics. Whoops. And because of this, they combined forces to open a gate into the bowels of Tropicana Field, where Kevin Stocker was playing a gigantic pipe organ.
3. Yellow card
First of all, Devin Mesoraco is from Punxsutawney. So remember that as you watch this clip over and over. Ned? Ned Ryerson?
There's no shame in deceiving an umpire. Well, there's a little shame, but it's a part of the game. Every player does it, some more than others. Mesoraco should have been yellow-carded for this one. Here's a still from the above video:
GAAHHHHHAHARRRRGGHHH oh man where am i and why can't i feel my legs oh no no no no no … oh, wait, I can score? Cool.
And, yes, Mesoraco was awarded home on this. A little subterfuge goes a long way, kids. Remember that in Little League, where the umpires are much, much worse.
2. "Sometimes, when I get nervous …"
One of my favorite moments of the 2012 season was Chris Davis striking out Adrian Gonzalez. The Red Sox were still thinking they were contenders. The Orioles were still wondering what in the heck they had. And in a 17-inning game, they had an epic struggle that included Chris Davis, first baseman, outfielder, and strikeout artist, getting Adrian Gonzalez to wave through an absolutely perfect changeup.
But, wait, what was that going on in the background? ENHANCE.
There are hands to faces, hands raised above heads, shouts of disbelief and anger. And in the middle of it all, one dude squeezes his own armpit. Tenderly, even. It's enough to make you uncomfortable. But if there was a theme to the 2012 Red Sox, it was probably "My god, the Red Sox are so awful that I find myself doing a lot of things I wasn't expecting to do", so the goateed armpit bandit was just a radio receiver picking up that cosmic signal.
1. Jonny Gomes and the Electric X
How many "X"s do you think there are on the outfield walls of Major League Baseball parks? I guess there could be a couple of Fox ads, and Xfinity probably didn't limit their ads to Oakland. But there probably aren't that many. So for a player to run into the "x" at all is something of an event. Hey, look at that, he ran right into the "x."
Then think of how many players react like someone threw an electric eel down their pants during the course of a season. There are a few, sure, but someone making that face up there would be worth of a GIF regardless of where it happened on the field.
But because these things happened in concert, this becomes more of a seminal event than a silly GIF. "Then there was the time when Jonny Gomes martyred himself on the electric X", we'll tell our grandkids in 2055. "He was a good man. A great man. It's a damn shame what happened to him. "

The Return of the Original Tea Party Candidate
by Charles Lemos, Tue Mar 09, 2010 at 09:29:49 PM EST
He's back. Call it Doug Hoffman, the sequel. The self-described man of the people with a half million dollar car collection and the original Tea Party candidate endorsed by Sarah Palin and Dick Armey among others has bought a home in the New York Twenty-Third Congressional District and has announced on his website his decision to seek the seat currently held by Democrat Bill Owens.
From The Gouverneur Times:
During an interview Tuesday with the Gouverneur Times, Hoffman admits "I've been campaigning behind the scenes."
Hoffman's candidacy letter seems to support his statement. "Back in January I commissioned a poll. The results were encouraging. The poll showed that 74% of Republicans who vote in primaries thought I should run again. 71% thought I could win back the congressional seat in next November's election. But, perhaps more importantly, the vast majority of Republicans said they would cast their vote for me in a Republican primary," Hoffman writes.
"I'm the only candidate who can unite Republicans, Conservatives and Independents," Hoffman proclaims.
It should be remembered that after conceding the race, the eccentric millionaire unconceded on Glenn Beck's radio program blaming his loss on Acorn and unions from outside the district. An odd charge especially since he didn't even live in the district at the time, an oversight which he has apparently corrected.

Hi all,
first of all. This is my first post here, and also I would like to apologize if I have posted in the wrong category.
I would like to know more about the IUS Api by Nokia (Spec at http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n..._v1_1.pdf.html). Even though its several years old, its still widely used, and I would really like to have this work with my N95. It seems that it supports some type of webbased upload, but there is absolutely no documentation on the function. I can see that "Flickr" and "Vox" are on the phone by default.
Right now I am trying to make this work with the CMS "Wordpress".
My initial question is this: Which devices are supported by the IUS API?
I called Nokia Denmark, but they did not have any official support on this product any longer. They gave me a phone number for the swedish business support line, which i have not called yet.
Does anyone know anything about this?

I joked on twitter after the triple overtime win that the team could take the rest of the week off. Perhaps they should have. We'd be a lot fresher and we'd still have the same result from the game last night. Then again, hindsight is 20/20 and it isn't always that simple.
If the team is going to fight through three overtimes to win a regular season game against the Nuggets, then they might as well fight through fatigue to try to earn a regular season win against the (in theory inferior) Bobcats. So Doc rolled the dice put his old guys on a pitch count of sorts.
Doc Rivers watching minutes for Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett - Celtics - Boston.com
Doc Rivers was faced with some interesting decisions after the 118-114 victory, a game in which Paul Pierce equaled his career high by playing 54 minutes, Kevin Garnett, age 36, logged 47 minutes, and Jason Terry played 43. With his three 30-plus-year-old veterans logging season-high minutes, Rivers decided to play them all against Charlotte but kept a keen eye on how they fared during their stints and all three were in the game down the stretch of the 94-91 loss.Pierce, Garnett, and Terry all played in the 29-minute range Monday but fatigue was obviously a factor as the Celtics shot 41.6 percent for the game and 38.5 percent in the second half.
It didn't work out but that's the breaks in the NBA. Hopefully they can get a solid win against the Bulls and plenty of rest over the All Star Break.

Wet Electrics Production Designer Studio
Production Designer ™ from Wet Electrics is a software solution that shifts the assembly, management, and output of audio and video content and device control to an open, digital platform. By bringing the elements of a multimedia presentation or production together into one controlled environment, it is a cost-effective and time-saving solution to the challenge of synchronizing and orchestrating multimedia.
The Production Designer workflow starts with media creation. You create digital content with your favorite tools, which for digital video can include Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, Media 100, Adobe Premiere, or Edit DV and for digital audio can include ProTools, Peak, Spark XL, Sound Forge, Vegas, or Cool Edit. You export the content as a QuickTime™ formatted file, then you can use Production Designer to compose and edit the content. The program allows you to orchestrate and synchronize your digital media with MIDI and serial commands for output devices in your production.
Wet Electrics is a software development company serving the media, entertainment, and corporate presentation industries. The company is committed to developing powerful, easy-to-use tools that create higher production values with greater cost efficiency.
Now, Wet Electrics has released Production Designer Studio™ software, the first-ever completely downloadable multimedia coordination software. The software incorporates the core power and functionality of Production Designer Multimedia Systems™, offering a suite of benefits to media designers and producers, including the trademark Production Designer simplicity and ease-of-use. By allowing multimedia designers to arrange media on a timeline, Studio facilitates the effortless playback of video and audio clips and MIDI and serial devices such as lighting consoles and projectors; its interactive capabilities allow the presenter to dynamically orchestrate the order of events within a controlled environment. Furthermore, the software's flexibility lends itself to an assortment of applications, including but not limited to business presentations, live performances, dynamic retail displays, and museum and educational installations.
The software significantly lowers costs by reducing the time, expense, and risk of managing and deploying media. Production Designer Studio fosters a more productive atmosphere for media designers, assembling complex productions in significantly less time. The process of designing and assembling complex presentations is greatly simplified, as the need for many external devices is reduced and often eliminated. The software also allows for easy content updates and changes. Consequently, design and technical preparations become more productive.
The software can be downloaded from the Wet Electrics website. Production Designer Studio retails for $995 (a special introductory price of $695 has been implemented until January 31, 2003) and is available for Macintosh systems only. There is also a trial download, free of charge.

grandMA learns new tricks
MA Lighting's grandMA version 4 is here. Multi-user programming, MAtricks, wireless PDA remote control, enhanced grandMA 3D interaction, completely new fixture schedule, and patching system are just a few features of this new software release. One of the immediately obvious changes to the console is that the user interface has been simplified to aid navigation around the exponentially more powerful operating system. There is also now a built-in wire-frame visualizer that can be used for preprogramming. But the real meat of this new version is the networking implementation. Now multiple programmers can work on the same show at the same time with multiple consoles and all data is stored as if it is one console.
MA Lighting Technology GmbH
4 will get you 5

This is one of the largest new feature upgrades for the Event 408 and 416 consoles. A new offline editor software package is now also available for the Event 4 line of consoles to help users make edits and set up consoles when a real console is not available, for example, on the bus or in a hotel room.

"We got some good looks down the stretch. If there was one thing that I wanted maybe to be better, it was a little bit of screening at the end. But, overall, I was pretty encouraged and happy about our guys' effort."
Redick scored a team-high 21 points, while Nelson finished with 20 points.
Davis, playing against his former team, scored 15 points on 3-of-12 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds.
"At that time, a leader is supposed to step up," Davis said.
"Jameer and everybody else did a good job. I was nowhere to be found tonight. I did some things, and you're not going to make every shot. But at crunchtime, you've got to do something. I didn't do anything."
The Celtics (8-6) extended their regular-season winning streak over the Magic to six games.
Garnett scored a game-high 24 points and collected 10 rebounds. Pierce added 23 points.
Rondo finished with 15 points, 16 assists and nine rebounds.
"They're going to stick with what they do," Redick said, referring to the Celtics.
"I think it just comes back to execution, and their will to just impose their plays. They run everything very hard. They screen. They obviously have good players. That helps, but they do things very hard and very precise, and that's really what it came down to."
The Magic are trying to emulate that aspect of the Celtics' model.
"We'll get there," Vaughn said.
On Sunday night, they almost did. And that's why it felt so frustrating to them.

Social Security
Social Security is a U.S. government program funded through payroll taxes on employees, employers, and self-employed individuals. The taxes are collected under authority of the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) and support Social Security programs, including Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance. Social Security helps not only older Americans, but also workers who become disabled and families in which a spouse or parent dies.
The Social Security Administration keeps track of your earnings throughout your working life. When you retire, the amount of your monthly Social Security benefit depends on your earnings and the age at which you retire. People who retire earlier typically receive lower benefit payments than they would if they postpone retirement.
The Social Security Administration has an online calculator at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator that will provide immediate and personalized benefit estimates to help you plan for retirement. The Retirement Estimator is an interactive tool that allows the user to compare different retirement options.

Talking toolkit launched
A new toolkit of tips has been launched to help people talk to friends and relatives with dementia. The number of people suffering from the disease is expected to double in the next 40 years as we all live longer. But new research suggests many of us are too scared to talk to people with dementia.
– Professor Graham Stokes, Director of Dementia Care at Bupa.
"We know there is a stigma associated with dementia and people are fearful of trying to communicate with those with the condition as they don't know what to say or how to respond to what might be perceived as unusual behaviour.
"Communicating with someone with dementia can present challenges, especially as the condition develops, but finding ways to maintain meaningful communication is the single most important way people can support those with dementia."

I want to start a new forum along with my already established WP blog – Gtricks.com
Now, I have 2 options, either use BP which is definitely looking promising or go for other traditional forums like PHPBB or vBulletien.
I know comparision is difficult but will really appreciate if someone can tell pros of BP.

Tom Kearns enters his fifth year coaching with St. Charles Community College. After leading the Cougars to the Region XVI Final in 2010, a school record 12 win season in 2011 (12-5-1), and a 2012 (8-6-2) Region XVI Semifinal appearance, he looks to guide SCC to another successful campaign in their fifth season as a NJCAA sanctioned sport. He is currently a member of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and holds a national license from the United States Soccer Federation.
Kearns began coaching in 1991 after graduating from Southern Methodist University. He has worked with various soccer clubs throughout his coaching career. Some of the clubs he has worked with include the Dallas Rockets, Dallas D'feeters, and Legend Soccer Club of Arlington, Texas.

He played under Schellas Hyndman who is the current Head Coach for F.C. Dallas of Major League Soccer (2010 MLS Coach of the Year).
Kearns is originally from the Florissant area and grew up playing for Scott Gallagher Soccer Club. His club team won three state titles, a regional title and played in the U16 National Finals. His teams were directed by Scott Gallagher, former director of coaching, and current director of Woodson City Rangers, Tom Howe. He also attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Florissant. Under the direction of legendary high school coach Vince Drake, he led his team to the Missouri State High School Soccer Championship in 1985 (a 3-2 victory over perennial power CBC of St. Louis, Mo.). As a senior, Kearns was named "Player of the Year" by the Suburban Journal and was named to the First Team All-Metro team by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In the North South High School All-Star game, he led the North to victory by contributing a goal and assist in a 5-2 win.
Kearns currently resides in Wentzville with his wife, Jennifer, and his two children, Toni and John.
