On Monday, the Seneca County Drug Task
Force-METRICH Enforcement Unit, along with others, ended a 3-month investigation
with the seizure of a large amount of cocaine and the arrest of a Fostoria man.
Police arrested Charles Richardson, 35, in
the parking lot of a Tiffin establishment for trafficking cocaine. Charges of
possession of crack cocaine and possession of marijuana are pending the
conclusion of the investigation.
The arrest prompted execution of a search
warrant of Richardson's residence in Fostoria, where police found crack cocaine,
marijuana, and additional criminal tools. According to a press release from
police, the seizure of the drugs interrupted a cocaine distribution ring
throughout northwest Ohio.
The task force was assisted by OSHP, the Drug
Enforcement Agency Task Force, the Ohio Attorney General/Bureau of Criminal
Investigation and Identification, the Seneca County Sheriff's Office, and the
Fostoria and Tiffin police departments.
"The collaboration of agencies involved in
this entire investigation was instrumental in the success of this operation,"
said Det. Charles Boyer, unit coordinator.
Police encourage citizens to continue to
report suspicious activity to their local agencies or the Seneca County Drug
Task Force at 877-446-DRUG.

We believe that for Digital Marketing to work effectively, it needs four elements working in harmony.
From design, web and mobile development to digital marketing. Jivaldi is one of the few agencies that can effectively tie everything together and make it work.
This makes us unique!
If you have problems that need to be solved, not to worry, Jivaldi is fully capable of assessing your existing efforts, creating and executing an Internet marketing strategy. Let's Chat!
Jivaldi has been in business since 1999. That's 15 years, but who's counting? We are a small but extremely effective team that can handle nearly any project. We've survived and thrived for a decade and a half because of the quality of people we bring aboard. Smart, forward-thinking & practical.
What is a former Enlisted Marine, later turned U.S. Marine Officer, running a creative agency? We're not quite sure but he does know his stuff. We're guessing it's because he grew up around computers, is part geek and is strong willed. Perfect for the industry!
Jim is a graduate of St. Mary's college of California where he played Division I baseball for the Gaels. After serving his country, Jim made his way to the Silicon Valley where he worked at Hewlett Packard and later a startup company called GetThere. When this start-up was purchased at the height of the dot com era, this afforded Jim the opportunity to start his own company. With six months worth of funds to float his experiment of running his own company, well…that was 14 years ago and Jivaldi is stronger than ever.
We often remind him that he's sprouted some grey hairs due to his work, but he does enjoy it very much and is entirely devoted to his clients. When not at his desk consulting or solving problems, he'll either be working out, training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or hanging out with his little ones.
With a Masters degree in marketing from "The" Ohio State University, Pam brings a lot of experience to the table. A former Director for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society's 'Team in Training' program she's creative, intelligent, wears many hats and is the first to put Jim in his place.
When Pam is not tackling different projects you'll probably find her running, working out or spending time with her 3 beautiful children. Always comfortable in front of a good book, she's addicted to technology and has a good eye for design and a valuable asset to the team. Oh and did we mention that she puts Jim in his place when he is out of line? Go Pam!

This rare ability allows him to look beyond the code and come up with solutions long before anyone else sees the problem.

He's smooth, he's flexible and great at customer service. He's great at Wordpress dev but also brings strong JavaScript skills to the table. Beyond his ability to develop websites Leandro is also an artist by trade. Leandro's unique skill sets come to life in his ability to bring an analytic/coding perspective and turn right around and be able to design something. Leandro's art work is regularly featured in galleries and museums throughout the country. When Leandro isn't immersed in the digital world or his art you may find him Kayaking, Sailing, Hiking, Expedition Touring (motorcycle, 4x4, camping).
Energetic, feisty, fearless: these are words that describe Shara. Hailing from a management background Shara is accustomed to chaotic environments and leading people. With a can-do attitude she's not afraid to get her hands dirty and make sure that Jivaldi's clients are being taken care of. Shara recently received a degree in Graphic Design but her project management skills are too valuable to pass up.
Shara has 3 kids, runs 5 days a week, balances a hectic life and still manages to bring her A game to Jivaldi.

A fantastic design asset for Jivaldi, James just rocks and brings a lot of attention to detail in his design work.

High octane glamour ruled the runways at Armani's show, in the form of dramatic crystal-embellished evening gowns

A wildlife theme was also evident, as demonstrated by this sparkling black and electric blue tiger striped dress
Photo: © Getty Images
Bling was the order of the day at Paris haute couture week on Tuesday, as Giorgio Armani debuted a sparkling – literally – 50 piece collection in the French capital.
As stars including Megan Fox and Cate Blanchett looked on, the Italian fashion maestro sent models down the runway in standout cocktail gowns and sharply-tailored trouser suits dripping in sequins and crystals.
This was juxtaposed with a wild, jungle theme present in cheetah-print cocktail-suits, lavished with beading; and one standout gown - a glitering black and electric blue tiger stripe print dress with a plunging neckline.
Another highlight of the range was a snake-like strapless number, entrusted with beads and split to the thigh. Zips were another key feature of the line, used as decoration, entwining waists, necks, torsos and hips, or again, embelished with beads and sequins.

North Middlesex qualified for the playoffs with Wednesday night's win over Nashoba Wednesday night, and it remained hot when it traveled to Groton to take on the Littleton/Bromfield Tigers. The second period has been kind to North Middlesex all season long when it comes to scoring goals, and the trend continued Saturday. North Middlesex scored four goals in the second to glide past the Tigers in a tough, grinder of a game, 5-1.
"The second period has been our best period, why? I don't know," chuckled North Middlesex head coach Mike McCarthy following the win. "We tried a little different warm-up tonight to see if we could start a little better. We started okay today, but we had three goals called back. Not all maybe should've counted, but the first one was in, no doubt. The kids battled through it and in the second period we were executing on our forecheck."
Junior forward Devon Blanchard led the Patriots' with two goals, both of which came in the second period.
"Tonight, we were just looking to get the two points and get as high as we can in the standings," Blanchard said. "We are hoping to get as better placement for the districts as we can. The idea tonight was to come out skating hard and get as many goals as we could against a non-offensive team. We played really good defense."
Littleton/Bromfield played an aggressive physical brand of hockey, but North Middlesex weathered the storm. North Middlesex narrowly netted the first goal of the game at 7:49 of the first period, when Matthew McCarthy pushed the puck across the goal line as he and a host of Patriots were pushed into the mouth of the goal,as the net was jarred off of its moorings. The goal was disallowed, and Littleton/Bromfield capitalized on the opening three minutes later. Freshman forward Griffin Shoemaker netted the first goal of the night off a shovel pass from the left wing by Fabi Weissenberger. Shoemaker, deked to his right and caught North Middlesex netminder Ryan Twomey out of position and wristed it five-hole to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead.
That is where the score would stand as the two teams went into the locker rooms for the first intermission. Freshman forward Donnie Frederick hammed home the equalizer. Frederick corralled a Josh Miller pass from the right-wing and slipped it behind the right skate of Littleton/Bromfield goalie Tommy Angell at 2:42 of the second period to make it, 1-1. Twenty-nine seconds later, Ryan McCarthy slipped a wrist-shot inside the left pipe to give the Pats their first lead of the night, 2-1. Blanchard netted two more goals late in the period, including a howitzer from the point to push the Patriots advantage out to 4-1. North Middlesex capped off the scoring at 7:27 of the third period on a goal from sophomore forward Brian Walter. Senior forward Dylan Conner shot a pass around the dashers and Walter crashed in from the right wing and dumped the puck over the left shoulder of Angell to make it 5-1.
"In the beginning our scoring was two or three kids," the coach said. "Now, it is spread out across three lines. We are much more dangerous team because they can't just focus on one or two kids. It has been a good season so far. The kids are working hard. We are trying to position ourselves for a good seed and go into the playoffs with the right state of mind."
North Middlesex out-shot the Tigers, 35-18.

LONGSHOT SAHARA SKY & TALAMO CRUISE TO VICTORY IN 61st GRADE II PALOS VERDES STAKES AT SANTA ANITA
ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 19, 2013)—Idle since June 22, and the longest shot in the seven-horse field, Sahara Sky and Joe Talamo made short work of their rivals in winning Saturday's Grade II, $150,000 Palos Verdes Stakes at Santa Anita, cruising home from off the pace in a rapid 1:07.73 while prevailing by one length over 5-2 second choice Private Zone and Martin Pedroza.
"He ran unbelievable," said Talamo. "That was actually the closest he's ever run. I thought he was going to be 10 lengths further back than he was. He broke sharply, he put me right there, and I still had a lot of horse when I called on him."
As expected, Comma to the Top, with Edwin Maldonado up, and Private Zone engaged early, setting fractions of 21.50, 43.61 and 55.50.
"It was like having a Quarter Horse in there trying to burn me out (referring to Comma to the Top). My horse never could relax, he just kept seeing the other horse. He wanted to go after him and I didn't want to choke him back, it's only six furlongs.
"He never stopped, my horse was always running, even when the other horse (Sahara Sky) ran by him, he was still running."
Trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, Sahara Sky, a 5-year-old Florida-bred horse by Pleasant Tap, paid $45.20, $14.40 and $5.00.
A first-out maiden $20,000 claiming winner on Nov. 26, 2010 at Delta Downs in Louisiana, Sahara's Sky's most recent win came with Talamo aboard on May 19, 2012, in a second condition allowance race at Betfair Hollywood Park. The Palos Verdes was his first foray into graded stakes competition.
"We both thought that the two speed horses would hook up and maybe make a good pace for us," said Hollendorfer in reference to his pre-game consultation with Talamo. "That's the key to winning a race like this. We had to have a little pace in front of us for that particular kind of horse, so we got lucky today and he came through for us."
The winner's share of $90,000 padded Sahara Sky's bankroll to $236,680 as he improved his record to 13-5-2-4. He's owned by Hollendorfer and Kim Lloyd's Sweetwater Stable.
Private Zone, who finished a half-length in front of 5-2 favorite Justin Phillip and Rafael Bejarano, paid $4.40 and $3.00.
Trained by Steve Asmussen, Justin Phillip had trained well since running a close fifth in the Grade I Breeders' Cup Sprint on Nov. 3, and had a pace scenario that should have been to his liking in the Palos Verdes.
"The pace was good for me and I was four lengths behind from the speed," said Bejarano. "When he came running in the stretch, he didn't show me what I expected."
Justin Phillip paid $2.80 to show and finished 2 ½ lengths clear of Comma to the Top.
The lone California-bred in the seven-horse Megahertz Stakes for older fillies and mares at one mile on turf, 7-year-old A Jealous Woman and Brice Blanc rushed inside 9-5 favorite In the Stars and Corey Nakatani midway around the far turn and once again demonstrated her gameness in a resolute stretch run to win by a neck over Irish-bred Byrony and Garrett Gomez, covering the mile in 1:33.09.
"I decided to move when I did and to get inside Corey, because if I went outside of him, I thought he'd float me out," said Blanc. "On the grass, you have to save ground. When I made the decision, I knew she would quicken for me and keep that steady run going. She's not one of those fillies that have a quick acceleration but she has a steady, long, fast run."
On the strength of her strong second-place showing in the Grade II Goldikova Stakes on Nov. 4, the daughter of Muqtarib was sent off as the 2-1 second choice and paid $6.60, $3.80 and $2.80.
Owned by Three Cent Stable and trained by Francis Meza, A Jealous Woman wasn't originally ticketed to run in the Megahertz.
"She was nominated to the (Grade III) Frankel Stakes (on Dec. 30) but she had something going on in her feet and she couldn't make it," said Meza. "So we worked on that and got her ready for this."
With the winner's share of $60,600, A Jealous Woman increased her earnings to $443,856 and ran her record to 19-8-3-3.
Byrony, off at 9-1, kept to her task in the lane and bested In the Stars by a head, but could never get fully on terms with the winner. She paid $7.00 and $3.40.
"She ran good," said Gomez. "I thought when I was covered (able to sit mid-pack to the half mile pole) I would be able to get by them. I could just never get by them."
In the Stars set the pace to the half mile pole establishing splits of 22.05 and 45.86, while the winner stopped the six furlong timer in 1:09.30 and the seven furlong in 1:20.98.
"I didn't want to be on the lead and I got the guy next to me (Rafael Bejarano aboard 3-1 shot Lady Ten) smooching," said the always colorful Nakatani. "I couldn't get my filly behind a horse so that really just screwed up our whole plan. I was wanting to be three or four lengths back at least, but like I said, the guy next to me's chirping. At the same time, she wasn't disgraced running those fractions."
In the Stars paid $3.00 to show and finished 1 ¾ lengths in front of Hard to Resist and Joe Talamo. Lady Ten was another neck back, finishing fifth.
First post time on Sunday at Santa Anita is 12:30 p.m. The Grade II, $150,000 La Canada Stakes highlights a nine-race program.

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Following a season with a pair of team titles and eight top 5 finishes, three members of the FGCU men's golf team earned postseason accolades from the Atlantic Sun Conference on Wednesday, highlighted by Matt Cote (Palm Harbor, Fla./Palm Harbor University HS) being named the Freshman of the Year, in a vote conducted by the league head coaches.
Senior Dan Mazziotta (Fort Myers, Fla./Cypress Lake HS) was named to the All-Conference first team, while junior Brandon Pena (Clewiston, Fla./Clewiston HS) earned second team accolades. Cote was one of two unanimous selections on the All-Freshmen team. Mazziotta and Pena are the first two players in program history to earn A-Sun All-Conference.
Cote led all A-Sun freshmen in scoring average by a full stroke at 73.3 on the strength of eight rounds of par or lower. With three top 10s on the season, Cote began his collegiate career by going under-par in six of his first nine rounds. The Palm Harbor, Fla. product became the third FGCU freshman in program history to participate in the A-Sun Championship, producing a pair of counting scores with back-to-back 73s. Cote's best score of the season came in the final round of the USF Invitation where he shot a four-under par 68. For the season, he finished with 74 birdies and currently ranks 29th in the nation in average putts per round (29.5). The A-Sun Freshman of the Year Award began in 2001.
"It's great to see Matt achieve this honor because he is a great person who really is mature beyond his years," said head coach Brent Jensen, who took over reigns of the program at the start of the season. "He shows that maturity everyday at practice, and he handles himself like a true professional in tournaments as well. He is a very level-headed kid who has a bright future ahead of him."
The All-Conference first team honor is a fitting end to Mazziotta's illustrious career. The Fort Myers native ranks third in the conference with a 71.6 stroke average, a figure that ranks second in FGCU single-season history. Mazziotta was the only Eagle to participate in all 11 tournaments this season, setting a program record for counting scores with 32. He currently ranks 18th in the country in birdies with 121, helping him set a program single-season record with 20 rounds at par or lower.
Mazziotta put together 10 straight top 20 finishes this season, highlighted by seven top 10s and four top 5s. He took home a pair of individual titles, winning the Stetson Invitational in the fall and the Rio Pinar Invitational hosted by UCF. At UCF, Mazziotta set personal records with a seven-under par 65 and a 54-hole 12-under par 204 (65-69-70). The 54-hole score equaled the program record.
"I think it is no surprise that Dan has earned All-Conference honors," Jensen said. "Dan has had a great senior season and has worked really hard to achieve his goals this year. He has played steady all year and I am extremely proud of the way he has worked, played, and handled himself. He is not only one of the best players in the conference, but also one of the better players in the nation."
For the third straight season, Pena finished in the top 20 at the Atlantic Sun Championship when he tied for 14th position (73-69-73/215). Pena ranked second on the club with a 72.6 scoring average, producing three top 5s, four top 10s and seven top 20s over nine tournaments. The Clewiston, Fla. product finished at par or lower in 14 of 27 rounds this season, highlighted by a pair of 54-hole tournaments with all under-par rounds. Over the final four tournaments in the fall, Pena went par or lower in nine of the 12 rounds.
"Brandon has also worked extremely hard both mentally and physically this year. He has come a long way in his mental approach to the game as well as his dedication to fine tuning the fundamentals of his game," said Jensen. "We will look to Brandon next year to help lead this program to successful 2011-2012 season."
FGCU's season featured wins at the Mizuno Savannah Intercollegiate and Stetson Invitational in the fall, and eight top 5s out of 11 tournaments. Led by Jensen, the Eagles finished with a team single-season record 14 under-par rounds and set the single-season scoring average (290.8) mark. As a team, FGCU currently ranks 11th in the nation in par 5 scoring (.477) and 17th in birdies (500).

Garden birds declining at 'alarming rate'
– Bethan Lloyd, RSPB Cymru
We know from the many people who take part in Big Garden Birdwatch every year that garden birds are incredibly precious to us. But, several of our familiar and best-loved species are continuing to decline at alarming rates.
We go to great lengths to ensure that special habitats in Wales are given the right levels of designation and legal protection because of their role in supporting threatened wildlife, but what's very clear is that every one of our gardens, the spaces literally on our doorsteps, are really important too and help connect us all to nature on a daily basis.

Protecting Your Phone
Cell Phone InsuranceWhen signing up for service, you will likely be presented with an option to insure your phone. Whether or not to buy this insurance is a tough decision — one made even more difficult with two-year contracts now standard, meaning there is a much longer period during which your phone could be lost, stolen, or damaged.
Before you commit to insurance, here are some questions you should get answers to:
- How much is the monthly or annual premium?
- Do I have to enroll at the time I get service, or can I do it later on?
- Can I cancel coverage at any time?
- Is there a waiting period before coverage starts?
- What does the policy cover? (Most cover loss, theft, or accidental damage; in some cases you can pay more for an extended warranty.)
- How much is the deductible? (Usually it is $50, but on more expensive phones it may be more.)
- In a claim, will I get a new phone or a refurbished one?
- What happens if my particular model is not available?
- Is there a maximum claim?
- Are there a maximum number of claims per year?
- What hurdles do I have to go through to file a claim? (You may need to file a police report.)
Is Insurance a Good Idea? There's no clear-cut answer to that question. What you may want to do is take a look at the replacement cost for the phone you are buying and compare that to what you will pay in insurance premiums. Of course, one never knows when or if a phone will be lost or stolen. If you have a $50 deductible and are paying $5 a month in premiums, you'll have paid $110 for a replacement if you lose it after a year and $140 after 18 months.
On average, insurance probably makes most sense if you have a high-end phone, like a PDA, and you would want to replace it with the same thing if something happened to it. If you have an entry-level phone, or would be okay replacing your expensive phone with an entry-level phone, then you can probably skip the insurance. Of course, like all insurance, it ultimately depends on your risk tolerance.
TIP: If you lose an expensive phone and don't have insurance, one option is to terminate your contract and sign up with a new provider. You'll get hit with a cancellation penalty, of course, but this might be more palatable than paying up to $600 for a new PDA.
Insurance or not, if your cell phone is lost or stolen, contact your carrier to suspend your service. They will turn off the phone's ability to access its network, preventing unauthorized calls. Once you get a replacement phone, your carrier can activate your number again. You are responsible for all calls and activity from your phone, so report the loss as quickly as possible to minimize your exposure to unauthorized charges.

Another disappointing afternoon at the Reebok. Let's look at the positive performances for the Wanderers
On Saturday Bolton will welcome Ipswich Town to the Reebok Stadium for their first meeting of the season. After they did the double over us last season Dougie Freedman's boys will be out for revenge.
Bolton were the better side for 90 minutes, but a very late goal from Carlos Edwards gave Ipswich Town a vital 3 points.

As the weather gets cooler, it's a great time for a good bowl of chili, and plenty should be available November 2 at the First Annual Chili/Salsa Cook-Off.
The event is a fundraiser that Byram Girl Scout Troop 5841 is holding at Davis Road Park. Whitney Miller, the winner of Fox television's Masterchef in season 1, will be one of the judges.
Troop 5841 is raising money for improvements at the Davis Road Park. It's the only park in the Byram area where children can play, and the playground equipment is broken, no doors on the bathroom stalls and many other things that need to be fixed.
The event will also feature craft booths, a bake sale, and lots of fun and games. Things get underway at 11 a.m. and run until 4:30 p.m.

Nice Hotel with a big room . Car Parking is available.
Wonderful experience
2014 八月 22
Great room. Wonderful service. Staff were very polite and helpful. Overall best hotel stay ever.
Not happy with this Crowne Plaza
2014 八月 22
I have stayed at Crowne Plaza before and had a good experience. This one was not very good. Delays at check in at 4:00 by over an hour on a Sunday due to inability to clean the rooms fast enough, VERY uncomfortable beds, sliding glass door that was too hard for my kids to open so I had to do it for them every time. It took a hard shove from me, their dad. Staff was okay but nothing great. Just expected more I guess.
Horrible service and Unknowledgable staff
2014 八月 21
The staff was never on the same page. I called to ask if the bar and pool were open they said yes. We walked down stairs and the bar and pool were not open. I asked for cups and they sent me to the resteraunt which in turn then sent me to The front desk which tried to send me bavk to the resteraunt. Hey stated the beach gave you umbrellas and chairs which they did not
Unless you stayed on the beach since they were full and it was 46$ if they were available. They were rude and completly unhelpful. When we asked about the water taxi they said we would have time to dock and eat and get he return boat in time to leave for our next meeting. That was not correct. We asked for food recommendations and they sent is to a place that did not serve what we said we wanted. Bottom line I would never stay there again!

Video: Trailer for Definitive Blu-Ray CollectionHome Video / DVD

The first trailer for the definitive collection of Harry Potter blu-rays, which looks to be released in 2012, has made its way online. You can watch it here or below.
Well if it includes extra things then I might get it but if its all the dvds in one then theres no point because I'll have them all
Is this going to be the ohmygodholycrap boxset with ALL the special features and extended editions? I stopped buying the DVDs after GOF because I figured I should just wait for the "final" box set that has EVERYTHING. It doesn't realy look that epic though. I thought this was going to the be the one I would buy, but Im afraid there will be an even better one released after this.
Also…what the heck is this? "19 discs"?!?!
Is this the same thing Exp3ctoPatronum found on The Hut? I am so confused about what to buy: Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection Blu-Ray Disc Set with Exclusive, Limited Edition 48 Page Photo Album ???
Wow, that trailer was amazing, gave me goose bumps. :) I really hope I'll be able to get it in Croatia, I really want to have it. ;)
What exactly is this because I've preordered the 8 film collection limited number edition already as Exp3ctoPatronum has pointed out so is this the same thing only redesigned? Will I be missing out on any bonus material etc. if so I may as well just cancel but so confused!!!
ahhh, want it!!! hope its going to have more special features than the other collection they've got coming out soon. im pretty sure it has like no special features, right….just the dvd's? dont get me wrong, the movies are epic, but i would LOVE some more behind the scenes stuff! D:
Does anyone know if they will come out with a complete collection just for DVD's. I don't have a blu-ray and i wont see myself getting one anytime soon.

Mike has performed with jazz greats such as Herbie Hancock, Chet Baker, Tony Bennett, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Woody Shaw, Larry Coryell, Jack Wilkins, Wallace Roney, Geri Allen, Billy Childs, James Genus, Bob Hurst, Chris Potter, Onaje Allan Gumbs, Bobby McFerrin, Al Jarreau, Dave Liebman, Nat Adderly, Oscar Brown Jr., Bill Doggett, Mose Allison, Maxine Brown, Gil Evans and his orchestra, and did a stint with Brand X, the acclaimed British fusion band, founded by Phil Collins. He has performed throughout the world at all the major jazz venues and festivals.
Featured in Downbeat, Musician, International Musician & Recording World, Modern Drummer, Jazz Times, Guitar Player, Jazz Is and numerous jazz history and method books, Mike is a former faculty member of Drummers Collective, and is a popular and busy clinician around the country. His book Funk Drumming: Innovative Grooves & Advanced Concepts was published last year by Hal Leonard and is a best seller.
Called "the most sampled drummer in hip hop" Mike's beats have been used on tracks by musicians as diverse as NWA, Grandmaster Flash, Britney Spears, Prince and many others.
His numerous recording credits include albums with Herbie Hancock, the Headhunters, Brand X, Eddie Henderson, Jack Wilkins, Mark Puricelli, Mike Wolff, and Alien Army, a group led by guitar great Jack Wilkins. As a bandleader, his release Give The Drummer Some was very enthusiastically received, earning a rare four and a half stars in Downbeat, as was The Funk Stops Here, a joint effort with Hancock alumni Paul Jackson. In 2001, his solo CD, Actual Proof met with critical acclaim, as did the 2003 acoustic jazz release, Summertime, featuring Chris Potter and Billy Childs, which spent many weeks in the top ten charts.
Other efforts included a compilation of his legendary, innovative funk beat samples, Mike ClarkThe Headhunter, a re-release of the widely acclaimed Thrust album, and, in 1998, The Return Of The Headhunters, featuring Herbie Hancock. Next came Herbie Hancock's Box Set, featuring Headhunters classics "Actual Proof" and "Butterfly," from Thrust, a few choice cuts from Manchild, and also some historical tracks from the classic Flood, previously only available in Japan. The Headhunters' newest effort, Evolution/Revolution, released in 2003, featured the latest Headhunter configuration, with original founding members Mike, Bill Summers and Paul Jackson, joined by Donald Harrison, Victor Atkins (Los Hombres Caliente), and Nicholas Payton.
Of his latest endeavor, a recording as a bandleader with Christian MacBride, Donald Harrison, Patrice Rushen, Jed Levy and Christian Scott, produced by Talking House Productions, Mike said it promises to be "some of the most exciting music I've ever been involved with." He's also featured on Mike Wollf's latest recording Love And Destruction, and just got out of the studio with country blues legend Delbert McClinton
His band Prescription Renewal, which debuted in the winter of 2000, electrified audiences across the country with an eclectic core of cross generational multi talents such as Charlie Hunter, Fred Wesley, Skerik, Robert Walter, and DJ Logic, and always featured stellar special guests such as George Porter Jr. of Funky Meters' fame, Kyle Hollingsworth of String Cheese Incident, Les Claypool, Will Bernard, Larry Goldings and fellow Headhunters alumni, Bill Summers, and proved a hit on the thriving young jam band scene. Touring concurrently that year and the next was the Roots Funk All Stars, another hot ad hoc association that married Mike with James Brown trombonist Fred Wesley, former Headhunter cohort and funk bassist legend Paul Jackson, Dr. Lonnie Smith and Robben Ford. In 2004 he teamed up for a series of gigs with fellow drumming legend Lenny White in a two drummer powerhouse band called New Brew featuring music inspired by Miles Davis' landmark recording Bitches Brew.
Mike is currently busy touring with his own Prescription Organ Trio / Duo, featuring Jerry Z, doing clinics and performing at clubs and concerts nationwide. He's also a regular in pianist Mike Wolf's band, Impure Thoughts and continues to do Headhunters' projects around the world. Mike just returned from the annual PASIC convention in Austin, TX where he performed with fellow drummer Jim Payne to an enthusiastic full house. In 2007, he has tours booked throughout Europe, South America, South Africa and Russia.
Mike's work continues to influence successive generations of drummers since his explosive arrival on the music scene with Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters.

FOOTBALL: Exeter gifted away victory
3:27pm Wednesday 2nd January 2013 in Sport
EXETER City moved to within two points of the play-off places in League Two after an 83rd minute own goal handed them a 1-0 victory at Wycombe Wanderers yesterday.
City were reduced to ten men in the first half when striker Jamie Cureton was sent off for kicking out at Anthony Stewart.
Wycombe missed a penalty for a foul on Joel Grant.
And it cost them the points when the ball rolled into the net off 17-year-old defender Kortney Hause after keeper Jordan Archer blocked John O'Flynn's shot.

At first glance, this looks like just another lovingly maintained – if slightly ramshackle – pub on the edge of Chiswick; its mismatched tables, well-stocked bar & charming service provide a familiar & welcoming backdrop for some decent food & drink. But have a wander, & you'll discover that The Raven opens out into some curious extra spaces: turn a corner & the bare walls, wooden furniture, abstract art & randomly placed design quirks suggest underground hipster enclave rather than traditional boozer. The food is also more daring than you might expect: Cheddar & vegetable crêpes, monkfish & salmon fishcakes with tartare sauce, confit of duck with dauphinois potatoes, & lemon posset with fresh blackberries could have you gorging until you're compelled to croak 'nevermore'. A wide range of cask ales, imported beers & wines completes the picture.

A noun is a word that identifies:
- a person (woman, boy, doctor, neighbor)
- a thing (dog, building, tree, country)
- an idea, quality, or state (truth, danger, birth, happiness).
Countable and uncountable nouns
Nouns can be either countable or uncountable. Countable nouns (or count nouns) are those that refer to something that can be counted. They have both singular and plural forms (e.g., cat/cats; woman/women; country/countries). In the singular, they can be preceded by a or an. Most nouns come into this category.
A smaller number of nouns do not typically refer to things that can be counted and so they do not regularly have a plural form: these are known as uncountable nouns (or mass nouns). Examples include: rain, flour, earth, wine, or wood. Uncountable nouns can't be preceded by a or an. Many abstract nouns are typically uncountable (e.g., happiness, truth, darkness, humor).
Some uncountable nouns can be used in the plural as well, depending on the meaning or context of the word. Take a look at these sentences:
Would you like some coffee?
uncountable because it's referring to the drink in general
He ordered a coffee.
countable, because it's referring to a cup of coffee
There's no truth in the rumors.
uncountable, because it refers to the quality or state of being true
The fundamental truths about human nature.
countable, because it's referring to facts or beliefs that are true
There are some words that should be used only with countable nouns and some that you should use only with uncountable nouns. Here are the main examples:
with countable
|with uncountable
|few, fewer
|fewer students; few cars
|little, less, least
|less food, little time
|many, several
|many changes; several books
|much pleasure; much sleep
You often hear people using less with countable nouns (e.g., 'there are less cars outside the school gates'). Although it's a common mistake, it is still a mistake and you should try to avoid making it in both writing and speaking.
Back to word classes (or parts of speech).

A 2-year-old girl drowned during a family gathering in Litchfield Park Sunday afternoon, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said.
The girl's name was not immediately released. Deputies said she did not live at the home.
The victim had wandered off and about five minutes later, she was found floating in the pool in the 5700 block of North 132nd Avenue.
Someone at the home administered CPR, and fire crews transported the girl to West Valley Hospital in critical condition. She was pronounced dead a short time later.
Sheriff's deputies said there was a gate around the pool but it was propped open at the time.
"There was a fence and there were adults; however, the child still managed to get back there into the pool and that's why it's very important we keep an eye on them at all times," said Joaquin Enriquez with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
"It's scary, it makes me grateful I don't have a pool because I can put my kids in the backyard and not worry about it too much," said neighbor Jim Roberts. "But almost everyone around here has pools."

"The Bug"
November 26, 2012 - Jennifer Brookens
Cold and flu season has struck. Actually, it's vacation and bronchitis, but either way it's a smaller crew in the newsroom this week.
Being short-staffed is stressful enough, but now every time I have a little cough or stomach cramp I'm wondering if I've caught "the bug." I've been fortunate enough that I don't get ill that often, but when I do get sick it's usually a knockout punch. And with my recent injuries, I've learned I don't have the luxury of being sick. Because when the prescription is rest, suddenly the kids are very interested in taking care of me. Bless their hearts, they are trying to help, but it's similar to being in the hospital and being woken up to take a sleeping pill. Want a dark room and peace and quiet? They'll turn on the lights to check on you, and start chattering up a storm. (Where is this chattering on regular days when I ask a question only to get a one-word response?) I might get a 7-Up and some soda crackers delivered to me as a snack, but if they are not consumed within the first three minutes, I am asked if I'm going to eat those. And if not, can they have a few?
To add to the chaos, when Daddy tries to pick up Mommy's slack, it usually ends up with rest-interrupting questions: "Where is The Boy's favorite hat from last year?" "Where is the strainer?" "Do we have any spaghetti noodles left?" and then, "Do we have enough money to order pizza?"
Those are the times when hospitalization begins to sound like a good thing. But then I remember the times I was in the hospital and it seemed the nurses and doctors seemed to be in and out of the room just as much. So all things considered, I am grateful I don't get sick that often, and that the kids do care when Mommy's down for the count. Let's just hope I can ward it off for this season...

It wasn't pretty, but the North Daviess girls basketball team came away with another victory.
The Cougars (3-0, 1-0 Southwestern Indiana) defeated Linton Thursday evening at the Cougar Den, 33-18, behind 14 points from Meghan Knepp.
After scoring 62 points in Monday's win at Lawrenceville, the Cougars put the Miners in a hole almost immediately. North Daviess took a 12-0 lead after the first quarter. Knepp scored five points in the first eight minutes to pace the Cougars. Head coach Ron Knepp thought the key to the first quarter surge was its defense.
"I thought defensively we were putting a lot of pressure on the basketball," Ron Knepp said. "When we play well on the defensive end, it gives up a lot of activity on the offensive end. We definitely play best when our defense is active. If our defense is not active, we're not active on the offensive end. It goes hand in hand."
The Cougars continued to attack the Linton defense as the second quarter got underway, eventually pushing the lead to 17-2. Maggie Schwartzentruber and Sabra Smith combined for six points in the second quarter to push the lead to 21-8 at halftime. After one of its best halves offensively and defensively of the young season, the Cougars struggled offensively in the third quarter, managing only three points on a Meghan Knepp's second three-pointer of the night.
"In the third quarter we just came out a little flat," Ron Knepp said. "We didn't get those opportunities on the defensive end like we were getting in the first half. We just didn't get it picked up in that third quarter the way we would have liked to. They're an athletic team, they made adjustments at halftime, and I'm sure that factored into that."
North Daviess took a 24-12 lead into the final period as they continued to struggle offensively, Linton cut the lead to 24-14, the closest they'd been since the first quarter.
After junior guard Abby Hollis made a jumper to push the lead to 12, Meghan Knepp made her third three-pointer of the game, making it a 29-14 advantage. After a Smith steal, she fed Knepp, who gave it right back for an easy layup for Smith. The give and go between Knepp and Smith put the Cougars up 17 and the game effectively out of reach.
The three-point third quarter was the second time in as many home wins that North Daviess has struggled mightily for an entire quarter. In its home opening 29-15 win against Washington Catholic, the Cougars were outscored 3-1 in the second quarter. Ron Knepp said finding more scoring, especially a second scoring threat behind Meghan Knepp is something that the Cougars need to find if they want to continue to win games.
"Scoring has always been an issue for this group," Ron Knepp said. "We can get to 30, but to consistently win games you need to score 45 or 50 points. We have to find that scoring, it is November, and our offense isn't going to be as good in November as it is in January and February. It's just going to take time for these kids to get used to each other."
Despite the team's offensive struggles, Ron Knepp is pleased with the progress his team is making, and the Cougars after all are undefeated.
"At the end of the year it's a win or a loss, it doesn't say man that was an ugly win," Ron Knepp said. "I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day. If you can play poorly and still win, that's the sign of a good team."

Manchester City vs. Everton
Etihad Stadium; Saturday, 12:45 GMT/7:45 AM ET
It's been a pretty rough week for City, with a loss to Aston Villa on Saturday and a complete undressing at home courtesy of Bayern Munich coming mid-week. Manuel Pelligrini's side currently sit 7th in the league having suffered losses to both Villa and Cardiff, and the start to City's new era has clearly gotten off to a rockier start than hoped. The same can't be said for the beginning of the Roberto Martinez regime at Everton, as the Toffees remain the Premier League's only unbeaten side and have won three in a row coming into the weekend.
This is a good test for both sides; City is clearly obscenely talented and there's no compelling reason to believe that Pellegrini is out of his depth, but three losses in an eight day span would be a significant blow to confidence. Where Everton is concerned, coming away from the Etihad with aa result would bolster their case as legitimate Champions League contenders in a season where the race from the top four looks to be more wide open than usual.
Cardiff City vs. Newcastle
Cardiff City Stadium; Saturday, 15:00 GMT/10:00 AM ET
Neither of these sides have done much to convince anyone they'll be able to avoid the relegation battle come season's end, but both have given some glimpses of promise; Cardiff with their stunning win over Manchester City, Newcastle with dominant wins over Fulham and Aston Villa and a spirited loss to a very good Everton side. Newcastle have the look of a team that will struggle for consistency but is capable of beating anyone on the right day, while Cardiff looks very much like a side that will make life tough for every opponent they face. This likely won't be the most exciting game of the weekend, but the outcome could be fairly important once spring rolls around.
Fulham vs. Stoke City
Craven Cottage; Saturday, 15:00 GMT/10:00 AM ET
It's becoming increasingly apparent that this is not a very good Fulham team. Their only win of the season came against Sunderland in the opening weekend, and it's been pretty unpleasant going since then. Things haven't been much better for Stoke in the results department thus far, but they're at least tolerable-ish to watch now so I guess that's something. But yeah, probably skip this one.
Hull City Tigers vs. Aston Villa
K.C. Stadium; Saturday, 15:00 GMT/10:00 AM ET
If anyone can figure out what Aston Villa's deal is, I'll give you ten dollhairs. Since they won't be expected to lose to Hull by multiple goals they'll likely play terribly, unless Paul Lambert's ploy to make Steve Bruce's side play in United shirts is successful. A win for Hull in this game could conceivably put them into the top four, and though the results that would make such a thing happen are unlikely that it's even a possibility two months into the season is more than a bit surprising.
Liverpool vs. Crystal Palace
Anfield; Saturday, 15:00 GMT/10:00 AM ET
At some point one would expect Palace have a decent run of form, but man this is just not a very good team. Their win against Sunderland aside-because really, who hasn't beat Sunderland-they've been severely outclassed every time out this season. It's tough to see that changing against Liverpool, who look as good as they have in years. With United and City both struggling mightily the Reds may well have an opening to get back to(wards) the top, but it should go without saying that in order for that to happen games like this are must-win.
Sunderland vs. Manchester United
Stadium of Light; Saturday, 17:30 GMT/12:30 PM ET
Sunderland winning this game would be the most objectively funny thing to happen since the mirror scene in Duck Soup.
Norwich City vs. Chelsea
Carrow Road; Sunday, 13:30 GMT/8:30 AM ET
Chelsea hasn't taken the league by storm in the manner that many predicted coming into the season, but they've still lost just once-to unbeaten Everton-and they've done what would be expected of them against weaker sides. Norwich certainly falls into that category, and though Chelsea is still in the process of finding their identity under Jose Mourinho, the Blues will likely have little difficulty against a struggling Canaries team that has little to show for a very active summer transfer window.
Southampton vs. Swansea City
St. Mary's Stadium; Sunday, 13:30 GMT/8:30 AM ET
Southampton had their struggles last season, but with the young talent in the squad it was easy to understand the approach being taken. It's paid off so far this season, with the Saints sitting on 11 points and looking every bit as good to this point in the young campaign as their place in the table would indicate. Swansea was in a similar place last year, and though they've struggled a bit out of the gate there's little reason to think they aren't capable of pulling it together and making another push for Europe. Two stylish and talented teams full of exciting young players makes this a solid bet for the weekend's best game.
Tottenham Hotspur vs. West Ham United
White Hart Lane; Sunday, 16:00 GMT/11:00 AM ET
West Ham playing good teams is exciting, because it brings with it the possibility that Big Sam will be as sad as everyone else that has to watch his teams play.
West Bromwich Albion vs. Arsenal
The Hawthorns; Sunday, 16:00 GMT/11:00 AM ET
Last weekend, West Brom played host to Manchester United. Coming into the game the Baggies were given no chance; and yet, when the final whistle blew, Steve Clarke's side stood victorious over the famous defending champions. Can they make lightning strike two weeks in a row?
Probably not. Arsenal's actually good.

Did you hear the one about the American lawyer who walked into a bar in England? Now he's a PUB-lished author.
Okay, so I'd better leave the jokes to Joe Leibovich, 44-year-old Memphis lawyer and author of a travelogue about his and his wife Christiana's recent travels through several European countries. Joe, a lifelong Memphian, is a seasoned improv comic and wisecracker. To pay the bills, he's an attorney/member at Shuttleworth Williams, PLLC, where he handles general civil litigation, including work in the area of employment law. But at night he's all about bringing off-the-cuff humor to Mid-South audiences via The Wiseguys.
Joe and Christiana, director of development for Opera Memphis, spent eight days navigating the strange and really old streets of Europe. Joe began recapping their adventures in detail on his blog, A Loaf of Comedy, when he returned to the U.S. The recaps turned into something more and Joe decided to publish the blog entries as a book.
The travelogue is warm and relatable, punctuated by dry observational humor about the wackiness of some European customs and the foreign travel experience in general.
Here's a taste of the antics from before the Leiboviches even got off the ground in Memphis:
Our flight was supposed to leave at around 5 p.m. Our friend, Ted, a drummer for a surf/horror themed band, gave us a ride to the airport approximately 20 hours early, because we were convinced that is how far in advance you are supposed to arrive to insure that you will be able to clear the rigorous procedures needed for an international flight.
We checked in and went through the security check. One TSA agent was in training. The group of agents were courteous and professional as they walked us through the process. Due to the fact that the one guy was new, however, they put my carry-on bag through a second time. It is important to note at this point that because my wife decreed I could not carry a bag of any kind around Europe, apparently out of fear that the Europeans would mock me for doing this, despite the fact that every single guy in Europe carries a man bag at all times. So, I had my carry on messenger bag from Tom Bihn (a fine company in Seattle that makes great bags...fine craftsmanship and what not. Shut up. I like their stuff) that I was allowed to use FOR THE AIRPLANE ONLY. I also had a spiffy eVest from ScotteVest. This thing has about 400,000 pockets, including one large enough to carry an iPad.Or a fine stuffed goose.
Joe was kind enough to answer some questions about his travels and his book. Stick around for our conversation after the jump.

JOSE LEZCANO, RON THE GREEK, WINNER: "I didn't want to be on the inside so I had to use him the whole way to make him keep going. At the half-mile pole I had a lot of horse, but I had to keep asking my horse. My horse is like a bicycle, you keep asking and he will keep running. The last three races he has been improving. His last race in Florida he was racing a shorter distance and the other horse opened up early and I couldn't catch him. He was really coming the last three-sixteenths, but the other horse opened up too early"
VICTOR ESPINOZA, SETSUKO, SECOND: "There was the three horse, he was inside of me and I wanted to just beat him and jump first on him. He ran an awesome race. He's coming back with the second race after such a long layoff. He will be better next time. He set up very nice for me. I had a very nice clean trip which always helps in the big races. That's all you can do."
MARTIN PEDROZA, ULTIMATE EAGLE, 2-1 FAVORITE, 10TH: "We're very, very disappointed--I wanted to cry. They came like a rabbit. The race is not a quarter of a mile. We're not at Los Alamitos. We're running a mile and a quarter. They're trying to hurt me--for what? I can understand if you're going to win, but if you're not even going to hit the board . . . "
RODOLPHE BRISSET, ASSISTANT TO BILL MOTT, RON THE GREEK, WINNER: "There was a lot of speed in the race . . . We just wanted to stalk the pace and see what happens. We were not expecting 44 (44.55 for a half mile) on the lead. That's sprinting. He (Lezcano) did very good to make a move on the backside and give him a little break on the turn and he just came running again, so it was a very good race."
Brisset, 28, has been with Mott five years. The horse arrived in California Wednesday night and is due to return East on Tuesday.
"This is my first time at Santa Anita," Brisset said. "I came six months ago to Hollywood Park and we won the Shoemaker with Courageous Cat, so that's two trips to California and we won two Grade I's, so I like to come here."
RICHARD MANDELLA, SETSUKO, SECOND: "He ran a good race. There wasn't much question. The winner was just too good."
MIKE PENDER, ULTIMATE EAGLE, FAVORITE: "They were hell-bent on getting the lead--Rosario and Sadler's horse--and when you go 44 and change going a mile and a quarter . . . like we said, anybody who tries to chase us is going to pay the price, and Gladding was hitting the reverse button at the three-eighths pole. We kept on going--credit to our horse. You can't go a mile and a quarter in 44 and change. It's literally impossible--unless you're Secretariat."
NOTES: The winning owners are Nils Brous of New York City, Jack Hammer (who also bred the horse) of Miami Beach, and Adam Wachtel of Briarcliff Manor, N.Y.

Double amputee walks to Pole
It's an environment that recently defeated even veteran explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
But that won't deter a soldier from Norfolk who lost both his legs in a bomb blast in Afghanistan. He's hoping to become the first double amputee to walk to the South Pole.
Duncan Slater will take part in a race in Antarctica later this year in aid of Prince Harry's charity, Walking With The Wounded.

Happy Land
"Let's take cultural preservation," Kinga says. "We have about 2,000 monasteries in this country. The very fact that they are still active, that they are being supported by the state, that there are monks doing what they have been doing for centuries, is a tangible aspect of cultural preservation. We can count the number of monks who are studying; we can count the number of old monasteries and how many new ones are being built. What we can't count is the cultural impact of all this�the value of keeping these traditions alive."
Like every other Bhutanese I speak with, Kinga sees Gross National Happiness as a personal, as well as a professional, goal. It's a way of life, fostering nationalism and spiritual practice. "In Bhutanese society, the king is the unifying force," he says. "He's not just a political figure; at the core, he's a Buddhist leader. The wisdom of our king�in integrating wisdom and compassion with scientific methods and approaches�is the bedrock of our national policy. When we break down every aspect of Bhutanese life, there are few places where the government does not come in. Not as an intervening force, but as a force that supplements the initiative of private people."
Schools are being erected everywhere, despite the fact that Bhutan, Kinga reminds me, is intensely agrarian. (About 85 percent of all Bhutanese are farmers.) Education is free up to the college level, and the government provides college scholarships, for study at home or abroad, to students with qualifying test scores. Kinga ticks off some additional benefits of being a Bhutanese subject: Medical care is free to all; a national pension plan, designed to reinforce the diminishing role of the extended family, has just been released; maternity leave is three months for women, 15 days for new fathers.
Even this limited amount of tourism is under siege. Recently, when Kuensel ran outraged letters reporting that tourists had outnumbered locals at a traditional Buddhist festival, tramping across the temple grounds and shoving their camcorders in the faces of the dancers, some Bhutanese began asking if any.
When it comes to preserving their natural environment, though, the Bhutanese are of one mind. Almost every educated citizen can recite statistics about the country's astonishing biodiversity. Bhutan hosts 165 species of mammals and more than 675 species of birds. There are 600 species of orchids alone and more than 300 medicinal plants�the Bhutanese still practice traditional medicine, as taught in the Buddhist sutras. The Bhutanese commitment to environmental preservation is nothing short of inspiring and could serve as a model for the world at large. One anecdote indicates the depth of this commitment. A few years ago, residents of Phobjikha Valley, famous for its migratory cranes, proudly installed electricity in their village. It was soon discovered, however, that some cranes were flying into the power lines. So the villagers tore them down and switched to solar power.
